everybodys gotta get back into the practice of using pseudonyms online... i remember the time of screen names where u never ever told anyone ur real name and that was just understood as basic internet safety. plus having a screen name is fun because sometimes it sticks so well that it becomes part of ur identity that u can use in whatever facet of ur life you choose. it rocks to pick your own name

I don't really remember why I picked Abjuration Wizard for Croissant but it fits them perfectly.

i've silently decided and slid into my world view the headcanon that riz has beef with oisín specifically because adaine once called him hot in front of all of the bad kids and riz immediately because afraid he was going to lose his only other aroace friend to romance (and get left behind yet again)

Hello, I have a question: Is it ok to make fanarts in your art style or does it make you uncomfortable? I'm genuinely asking because a while ago I saw you said on twitter you find it strange people drew in an art style "all the time" and "where they are in the art" and this concerned me because a lot of people in the smile for me fandom draw in your style. We all are passionate about your work and it's why we love to make fan arts in the art style. I'm just genuinely concerned...
Oh, that was meant as a general thing- I just find it strange when an artist decides to SOLELY draw in another artist's style as close as possible. Since art is self-expression, I find it weird that someone would want to ONLY express themselves through someone else's voice. Isn't it uncomfortable to wear someone else's skin all the time? It'll never fit exactly right- it's fine to put it on sometimes, but you gotta remember it's You under there, too! Your voice matters, you just gotta find it. Imitating and absorbing other artist's styles into your own is how an art style forms. An art style is like a soup! Lots of fun ingredients combined to create a great new flavor. If you like someone's art style, it's awesome to look into that artist's influences as well- you can learn so much!!
I think it's neat when people draw in my style! I love seeing it! It's cool how close people can get to how I draw. But I do find it weird when someone ONLY draws in my style as close as possible- does that make sense? Nothing wrong with art studies, or drawing the characters on model, that's totally okay, of course. Basically it's just a little uncomfy to me when someone tries to get as close as possible to how I draw, every little quirk (like emulating my hand tremors when their own hands aren't shaky), and passes it off as their own thing and only draws that way... I hope that makes sense. I don't actually see that many people doing this- most fanart is just people drawing the characters "on model" but I can still tell it's someone else drawing them, and I love that. I love seeing what little parts of the artist peeks through that way. Most people drawing Smile For Me fanart are still using their own voice Through the influence of Smile For Me's style and it's awesome. I don't suuuuper consider Smile For Me's art style My Style, anyways. I draw differently in my own time. Smile For Me's style is kind of it's own thing.
I'm not trying to sound uppity or tell people what they can and can't do! I just encourage you to find your own voice. I'm just a guy!

Small part of something bigger that will be posted monday, hence the quality... or lack thereof, but it looked neat on its own.
And yeah, that woven ‘basket’ thing for the wine was hand drawn, you’re gonna stare at it and you’re gonna like it !

Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me
i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

SO. TO KICK OFF THE WEEK OF SPECULATION BEFORE THE UPDATE DROPS.
last night i had a bit of a Revelation. literally. i borderline woke up in a cold sweat with this realization. the way i lunged for my laptop to scream at friends... ough. lets get into it
so. i do believe I've made a couple of theory posts about Barnaby not being quite as receptive to his and Wally's "forced" best friendship as Wally - since the show wrote them to be friends instead of it happening naturally. i thought it might be a point of tension for Barn. i thought a lot.
YES SO I'M TOSSING (almost) ALL OF THAT OUT THE WINDOW!
the bios state Barnaby as Wally's best friend multiple times over. it had to be regularly reinforced. their colors were chosen to mark them as friends.
but Barnaby - presumably - can't see the bios, he wouldn't know the scripts. the friendship would be natural from his perspective. how would he know otherwise? even if the relationship started out synthetic, i don't doubt that it became genuine. in the context of their world and perceptions, realistically speaking Barnaby probably wouldn't sense anything wrong.
the reminders to be best friends weren't for Barnaby.
they were for Wally.
i'm starting to suspect that Wally is Barnaby's best friend, but Barnaby isn't Wally's. i think that Wally's "best friend" is Home - or at least Wally has a closer connection to them / Home is more important to Wally than anyone else is.
i remember reading this livestream trivia (from theneighborhoodwatch's doc, if you haven't their resources yet what are you even doing?):
and i assumed it was for Barnaby's side of the relationship. but it's not, is it? it's Wally's? and it makes too much fucking Sense! it fits! i can see it perfectly! i can feel things slotting together in my mind due to this shift in perspective, and i'm scared
Barnaby probably thinks the relationship is natural, just like how he thinks he's a real person in a real world. Wally probably knows that the relationship is a role, just like how he knows he's a puppet in a false reality.
that leaves me wondering how much of it is genuine on Wally's side. i don't doubt that they really are friends, but how deep does that connection go? in the interview, Wally sounded excited/proud about having a best friend, but how much came from a place of feeling, and how much came from a place of Fulfilling The Role? how much of it is performative? how much of it is a mask?
i've been seeing everything differently. Barnaby poses for Wally the most because he has good balance and is good at staying still, not because of favoritism or because he's Wally's best friend. in the 14 (15 including the hidden halloween) audios, Barnaby consistently seeks out Wally and checks in on him. Wally seems more casual about their relationship than Barnaby is.
i'm worried that Wally values Home & You/Us over Barnaby. that Barnaby is second or third place in Wally's heart. that Wally means more to Barnaby than he means to Wally. after all, only one of them needed their relationship to be reinforced on a seemingly regular basis.
i'm confident that Wally cares about / loves Barnaby, but the question is how much? to what extent?
