If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your comic making process? I find it hard to make comics that look eye-pleasing to read and yours are like candy.
Tumblr media
Ah, comics! Dig under cut to see some old wips as I attempt to explain my nightmare thought process to you.
For making a comic AESTHETIC and APPROACHABLE:
I've noticed that it's easier for people to be pulled into a comic if I set the environment first and foremost, so people have some vague context for the scene. Of COURSE that's not always necessary ( there are a lot of comics that start out without environmental story telling and it works perfectly) but I've always liked having a lil illustration before digging my rat claws into the meat of the story.
For example! “Emmet and Elesa have a clandestine meeting in the library at 4 am.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The sketch was sort of the jumping point to where I wanted to go with the comic. I wanted to a. explain wtf is happening and b. draw a nice conclusion about what the f is happening.
You don't need to make the environment available in every panel too! I'd suggest making your first panel tell all the environment detail you need and then like... slowly removing irrelevant detail from there. And then hit folks with the background again at the end. (So basically, you don't see the library in this comic until the beginning and a bit towards the end. I have tricked you! aha!) So that's one tip i have. For Readability: Anyways, to make a comic easy to read, spacing is super important. Dialogue tends to cramp a shot by a WHOLE lot. For example! Remember the "Lamp is told she's beloved (and has a tsundere moment over it"? That used to be TWO panels. Man. Nightmare fuel. Lemme find it. (This is the rough. I Lined It, realized the pacing is off, and then withered. Please don't look at it too hard.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So here's the thing. This READS. But the sheer amount of dialogue in the beginning is fatiguing for me and the "you are beloved, Lampent" NEEDS that oomph of both characters realizing that over the span of years, their relationship stopped being antagonistic and started being family instead. Some folks are fine with blocks of dialogue, but I have the attention span of a patrat on candy. I will not make it. SO! To match the almost moody atmosphere, I stretched the comic out. I stretched that bad boy out a LOT. And I got this out of it.
Tumblr media
Something to keep in mind in comics is there's always going to be one or two iconic lines. Lines that make people FEEL things. Those lines deserve their own panel, their own shot, their whatever. A good story has lulls in its conversation. If you can replicate it, you're winning. Character Blocking:
So basically no, it's not all witchcraft. It's only a bit of witchcraft. Another thing that helps is differentiating characters if they're on the same panel is by solid blocks of color. I have, for the longest time when working on storyboards, blocked characters different tones in order to help differentiate them. Don't be shy! Do that if it helps your comics read! Ingo will always be darker shaded then emmet. The angry nightlight will always have some hint of purple on her (unless I forget). The first goal in a story is to convey information, hehe. Here's an example of color blocking! (This is from a VERY old botw comic I did for linktober in 2021.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's, ah, rather rustic compared to what I do. usually. I know! BUT the primary goal here is to convey where the characters are in relation to each other. And the fact they're color coded makes life easier for both reader and artist. Alright! That's all the tips I can think of off the top of my head. Time to get off that soap box, haha. Overall: Basically, my work process is-- draw a story telling image/ write a funny piece of dialogue. Build the comic around that. Pace it so the important lines stand out. Color code the characters for max visibility. And then four to twelve hours of lineart, but that's neither here or there.
Thanks for coming to my unregulated rambling!

ouuguuh … it would be cool if lik (going off the tags of this post) … there was a story reason as for why all the pokemon are attracted to the gear station :3 maybe theres a super ancient pokemon beneath (or somethinng similar IDK ! THEY GOT XURXITREE HOOKED UP TO THE WIRES annd its lik ghost stories lik Oooh theres emptty trains ! and spice is lik Thats not me doing it .) like its SOMETHING tahts drawing them there , whether it be another pokemon or some sort of life force or energy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THOUGHTS .... Okay giratina specifically loves trains for whatever reason and starts hanging around railyards as soon as they get invented and protects the trains from harm, seeing them as part of it's 'hoard.' Even though it's ??? weird at first the railroad workers eventually just accept Giratina's presence since it's not harming the rails or anything and it eventually becomes kindof the patron saint of trains, later becoming an influence for the design of some trains and Giratinism kindof just becomes a slightly ironic tradition for railway workers .
--> Giratina eventually hibernates in an abandoned tunnel in gear station (possibly unbeknownst to Ingo & Emmet) which attracts a lot of various types of pokemon to the area . Some of which start working at the station

Tumblr media
"so you're seeing him?" your best friend, deidra, asks. she's standing over you where you sit at your work desk, trying desperately to hide your phone.
"i'm seeing him, but not like that," you say quickly.
"you're glowing," deidra says. she places her hands on your desk and gets into your space. "you haven't glowed like this in years. how many times did y'all fuck?"
"we didn't fuck!" you defend, albeit poorly. poorly because you've never been a good liar.
"i'm done talking," you had admitted, setting your martini glass on the table. there's one more sip of an espresso martini left in it. incense circles in the air, and your knee is touching kuroro's.
his eyebrows had raised in surprise, and he set his glass down as well. two sips left. "did i say something?"
you shook your head, leaning into his space "no, what you just said about liza was really hot. i'm going to kiss you now."
kuroro did not mention that he nailed liza's characterization from perusing your copy of notes from the underground. instead he gave you a lopsided, boyish smile and shamelessly flits his eyes from your own to your lips. it went straight to your core.
deidra snaps her fingers in your face. you jolt in your seat, brought back to reality. "what?" you snap.
"just admit you fucked! was it good?" deidra presses.
was it good? gods...
you had gripped onto your pillows like there was no tomorrow. your heel was squarely pressing into the middle of kuroro's back, one hand on your waist and the other pulling back your mound to reveal your pretty puffy clit.
kuroro's lips had barely left yours, his tongue sweeping through your slick. his arm applied pressure the best it can to your thigh, feeling it begin to close in against him. you had let out countless, shameless moans and they reach a crescendo as your hand tangles in his hair. you didn't know if you wanted to pull him closer or push him away.
your back had lifted off the bed when he removed his hand there, fingers joining his tongue. the coil winding up inside you tightened as his finger joined his tongue, as it swirled around your hole, already tight from how close you had been...
you cross your legs, remembering how it only took two of his fingers slighting through the tightness of your hole to make you cum instantly. how he shamelessly lapped everything up. how wet his face had been. how wet he made yours by lifting him up your body, fingers still moving slowly within you, to capture your lips in a deep, breathless kiss. how you had tasted on his tongue. how his tongue— you clear your throat and set your phone aside, face down. after all, the text that's begging your response is flirty in nature. i have ideas about tonight. he'd been typing when deidra had walked in.
"fuck off, deidra. i'm trying to grade," you say, picking your pen back up.
deidra laughs. "is he better than rhysand?"
"yeah," you admit, clicking your pen. "he's real."

I have loved Skid and Pump since the moment I saw them in FNF, they have been my silly little guys for more than 3 years and to be frank (heh) it feels like they got more fanart during FNF's initial boom than any point after for BOTH SM and FNF and that drives me bonkers!! They're the MAIN CHARACTERS!!! The entire show is built around their antics, we would only have the cult plot if it wasn't for them!
[ID: a screenshot of my tags reading "#reblog" "#no id" "#CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE IT..." "#being an sm fan who likes the literal protagonists is so hard." /END ID]
I AGREE WITH ALLLL OF THIS...learned of them from fnf. loved them. there was 100% more skid and pump art back then. ive actually been checking fnf tags specifically to find skid and pump art because thats like, MY BEST BET. TO FIND ANY 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
heres ao3 tag without filters and filtered to include skid and pump. i feel like it really gets the point across.

❛ you look better in your wanted posters. ❜ with whatever you believe One Piece is about? Or like, you can do it seriously too I won't judge
HOW LUFFY MET HIS CREW
When Luffy got on his rowboat to try and hijack a bigger pirate ship for his pirate crew, he didn’t expect the people on the bigger pirate ship to start flinging cannonballs at him. In fact he thought that was really rude of them. This line of thinking disregarded the fact that Luffy was the one attempting to hijack their ship in the first place, but you can't really blame him because, as his nonexistent mother once said, there wasn't a single thought that went into his brain that didn't fall right out again.
In any case one of the cannonballs had inevitably ended up hitting his rowboat, so if he didn’t want to spend a holiday in the sea he’d have to make sure he was successful with the hijacking. He stood up in the rapidly sinking rowboat and flung one stretchy arm towards the mast of the ship to swing himself onboard.
“Argh!” cried one pirate. Luffy kicked him overboard.
“Argh!” cried another pirate, as she tried to stab Luffy. The stabbing didn’t work because Luffy had a great skincare routine. He snatched her knife and kicked her offboard too. This repeated for a few more pirates before he stood alone on the big ship, having apparently kicked all of the crew into the sea.
For such a large ship, the crew was weirdly small and weirdly easy to get rid of. Luffy didn’t bother pondering this because thinking was a hobby that he did perfectly well without. Instead, he decided to have a look at what stuff the previous crew had kept on board.
At that point he noticed that his vest (which had had one single coin in its pocket) was suspiciously empty of one single coin. Somehow in the middle of his little routine on the ship, he had been robbed horribly, and now he was coinless.
It was probably one of the pirates he threw overboard, so Luffy leaned over the side to ask if anyone took his coin? but everyone spat in the water around them and said “no”. That was a bust.
He tried thinking about it for a little bit but, as previously mentioned, he was a special boy that didn’t do that. So it was time to start sailing instead! He’d get another coin somewhere else. Maybe he could find treasure wherever he ended up. Treasure and also a few people for his crew. He would have asked his brothers Ace and Sabo for starters but they died a while ago in very faraway countries.
As he sailed the wind blew pleasantly in his face. He kept a hand on his head to make sure his hat didn’t fly away, and his vest flapped around in the breeze. But the wheel didn’t need much turning, so Luffy decided he would see what else was on the ship.
It turned out there was a HUGE bathtub (which he didn’t care about) in one of the rooms, and also a HUGE kitchen (with lots of food!!) and also a HUGE room full of empty bottles. That room had lots of shelves in it, but none of the empty bottles were on the shelf. Instead they were littered on the floor and around the corpse.
It took Luffy a few seconds to realise that there really was a corpse on the floor and he probably shouldn’t ignore it. At the very least he should throw it away. So he clinked his way through the empty bottles and towards the corpse, which was when it let out a humungous snore and Luffy realises it was someone sleeping.
Should he wake the corpse up? Luffy asked himself.
The answer was yes. He slapped the back of the corpse’s head a few times (because it was face down on the floor) and also stole the sword lying next to it.
“Hey! Wake up!”
The corpse kept snoring. Luffy gave up and took the sword with him when he left. He’d check up on the corpse the next time he remembered it and hopefully it would be awake by then.
In his exploration of the ship, he also came across someone hiding behind a pair of curtains. It was a girl in a bikini. She tried to attack him, but a gold coin rolled onto the floor from somewhere (her bra) and Liffy managed to evade her swipe at him when he bent to see what coin it was.
“Hey! That’s my coin!” and he shoved it in bikini girl’s face to show her.
“No it’s not,” said bikini girl. She snatched the coin out of his hands and tried to run away, but Luffy yanked at an ankle and she fell down instead. “Hey! I said it’s not! It’s mine!”
“It’s obviously my coin, bikini girl,” Luffy said. “Do you want to join my crew?”
“Seriously? Bikini girl??”
“We can go and get coins if you want more?”
“I’m going to get off this ship the next stop and stealing coins from other people,” bikini girl scowled, “you’re not keeping me here.”
“Okay,” Luffy shrugged, and started to wander back out of the room.
“Eh? Just like that?” bikini girl muttered. “Weirdo.”
There wasn’t a lot of other interesting things on the ship, but on the plus side it only took an extra hour or so before Luffy ran into the corpse which was now stumbling around and groaning in the corridors.
“You!” Luffy said. “You’re awake! Who are you?”
“Who are you?” the corpse asked suspiciously. “And also where am I?”
“You are on board my ship, the Straw Hat Ship,” Luffy puffed out his chest. “I’m Captain Luffy!”
“Don’t look much like a captain,” the corpse frowned at him. “And since when was this your ship? And have you seen my sword?
“I am so! And it’s been mine for a week now actually,” Luffy informed the corpse. “It’s not like you’d now, YOU’RE not a captain of a ship. Also I have your sword.”
“Give it back, then,” said the corpse, cracking its neck.
“Are you gunna stab me?” Luffy asked suspiciously.
The corpse paused. “Oh. You don’t know who I am.”
“Who?”
“I am Zoro,” the corpse said importantly.
“Like the criminal?” bikini girl asked, suddenly appearing from behind Luffy. She squinted at Zoro. “I gotta say, you look better in your wanted posters.”
Luffy turned to bikini girl, since she seemed to know who Zoro was, and asked her to explain.
“He stabbed a few people and now he’s wanted,” bikini girl says.
“Oh,” Luffy said. He turned back to Zoro, who scowled and muttered something about snitches. “D’you want to join my crew? I’ll give you your sword back.”
“Wut?”
“He asked me too,” bikini girl confided. “I think he’s really desperate.”
Zoro rubbed his eyes. “Whatever. Sure, why not. Give me my sword.”
Luffy cheered and gave Zoro his sword back, and they spat and shook hands on it.
“Welcome to the Straw Hat Pirates, First Mate Zoro!”
-
They sailed around for a while — a little while meaning a few weeks — and it was just the three of them throughout. Bikini girl ended up staying on board the ship despite her earlier declarations, and in the end Luffy remembered to ask her what her name was (Nami) and they all got off at random islands during those few weeks to rob people.
The most recent was the island called Whiskey Island. Even though it was called Whiskey Island, all people drank on it was beer. This made Zoro terribly angry because he’d been excited to try whiskey from the legendary Island.
“Unbelievable,” he said, stomping out of a local bar with Nami and Luffy trailing behind. He swung his sword at a random boy with glasses and a trench coat, who yelped. “Can’t believe this. Beer. Damn.”
“We can go find some whiskey if you want,” Luffy said. Nami nodded.
“You know what? Yeah! Let’s find some whiskey. And then lets rob the island for false advertising.”
“Let’s rob the whiskey,” Nami suggested, and pointed at a giant billboard that said WHISKEY THIS WAY with an arrow pointing underneath.
Zoro nodded and started marching in the direction of the arrow.
“Excuse me,” said the boy in the trench coat and glasses that Zoro had threatened earlier. “You’re going the wrong way. Also you owe me an apology.”
“Who are you?” Zoro squinted. “And what do you mean, we’re going the wrong way.”
“You swang your sword at me before,” said the boy in the trench coat and glasses. At a closer glance, the trench coat seemed strangely lumpy. “And the arrow is pointing in the other direction..”
“So it is…” Nami said, looking towards the billboard with a thoughtful hand on her chin.
“Oh,” Zoro remembered. “Don’t worry. I swing my sword at lots of people, that’s why they want to arrest me. Can you show us to the whiskey room?”
“It’s a bar actually,” said the boy. “Follow me.”
When they went to the bar Luffy took one look in and shouted in shock, because it turned out that both of his dead brothers were alive! But Sabo catapaulted himself into Ace and so Ace died, again. Luffy didn’t mind too much because if Ace died once and was fine he’d probably come back later and he could say hi then. In the meantime he jumped onto Sabo who also shouted in shock and they both broke the wall of the bar that they were in from their immediate brotherly battle.
“Woah!” Zoro said, ignoring any battling. “A secret whiskey storeroom!”
“Woah!” Nami said, looking somewhere else. “That boy is actually a reindeer.”
The boy in the trenchcoat and glasses turned out to be a little boy with glasses on top of a reindeer in a lab coat, the reindeer having burst out of the trench coat in order to check if Ace was alive.
In the meantime, Zoro was busy glugging whiskey from the secret whiskey storeroom and the reindeer was performing CPR on Ace.
All activities stopped when Blackbeard arrived to menace everyone about breaking into his secret whiskey storeroom.
“It’s not secret,” said Luffy, “someone put up a sign.”
This made Blackbeard very angry, but that was ok because Sabo blasted him with his fire bazooka hands and he died.
In the end, everyone ended up going back to the ship (apart from Ace, who it is said is still receiving CPR to this day).
THE END

Sorry if any of these are asked already but 2, 19, 21, 26, 39
2. Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to?
I feel wholly incapable of writing straight fluff or romantic-comedy. I always lose interest once things start getting cordial or comfortable. I like the violence too much. Ideally, it would be nice to write something I could comfort read, and I appreciate people who can write those things well.
19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.
“Is that a no on the volcanos?” Mobius sounds like he’s smiling again. “TVA isn’t really big on clubs, but I think there’s a scrabble group that meets every hundred years or so in the cafeteria.”
“Don’t patronize me.” Loki says, voice muffled by the smooth grain of the table. He’s not exactly sure what scrabble is, but if it's TVA sectioned, then it couldn’t possibly be worth the hundred-year wait.
“Never.” Mobius says, in that earnest way that almost makes Loki believe him. Then - “I think you should find yourself a hobby.”
“A hobby.” Loki says flatly. “I don’t think the TVA is properly equipped for my proclivities.”
“Probably not.” Mobius smiles, and Loki remembers again, that he’s watched enough of his life to know. “It’s always good to branch out, though, try new things.”
“What do you suggest?” Loki asks, suddenly curious if Mobius had anything in mind outside the aforementioned scrabble and being caught up in the inane, mindless work ethic that kept the TVA an unstoppable force of bureaucratic efficiency.
“I mean, we don’t have cable, and the internet is pretty heavily filtered, but -“ Mobius pauses, pursing his lips thoughtfully. “We’ve got a pretty extensive selection of magazines. Maybe you should get into collaging?”
“I asked you in good faith.” Loki sets his jaw, annoyed. “A god doesn’t collage.”
“Just…pay attention to what makes you curious, then.” Mobius says simply, before Loki loses his attention to the Index of Global Calamities again. He feels, irritably, that he’s been dismissed.
“Mobius.” He says again, just to see those eyes flicker from the page back toward him and the thrill he gets at being able to cause endless distraction. “What, pray tell, am I supposed to find curious in this gods-forsaken hellhole?”
“You tell me.” Mobius says, with that mystic’s smile that makes Loki feel equally enraptured and enraged.
There’s only one thing worth his rapidly degrading attention in this abysmal place, and he’s sitting across from him, licking his fingers before turning the page, one leg jiggling across the other as he leans back in his chair.
21. Can you accurately predict how long your fics are going to be? If you can, what's your secret?
Yes, and it's because I'm a psychic who can see the future.
26. What would you describe as OOC?
Answered!
39. Wildest AU scenario you have written?
Honestly, it has to be spirit box for a lot of reasons but mostly because Mobius is probably going to fuck that house.

Thinking you shouldn't have to pay for Watcher content is you being entitled, actually.
did i ever say i shouldn’t have to pay for it? no, i said it’s disappointing that i would now have to after years of it being free. it would be easier to take if they were completely changing and upgrading their shows or established that the stream wouldn’t just have their current shows and maybe discontinued ones, that it would be different from their youtube channel and worth the sudden charge, but it’s hard not to feel like they’re throwing their audience under the bus
