like i'm not gonna say it's "unhealthy" to keep a mental catalogue of half remembered faux pas which various random people have committed online to justify villifying them and anyone who associates with them in perpetuity
(it definitely is but that's none of my business)
but it is so annoying to witness and i can't believe how many mutuals i have to break over this sort of petty 2014-callout-post bullshit
My biggest art influences visually are Hannibal, Rococo and Renaissance paintings, My little Pony, my highschool art teachers, Japanese fashion, fringe furry digital painters, and being gay, I think.
tbh I follow a lot of people hoping they will write the exact same fanfic as ive already read them write but slightly to the left this time
this is such an important reminder for any creative person telling stories
i think most of us forget that we often gravitate to the same kind of content, same tropes and AUs and scenarios, especially when we sit down to work on our own stuff and the imposter syndrome kicks in
Omg i just saw someone complaining about all their bookmarks being blue but i literally just had the opposite experience all my mutuals off site picked vampires, i went in my followers notifications and it was 90% red, all my bookmarks were either red or unpicked💀 friendly fire ass year
Whaddya know another Bart request! Such a popular little guy he is lol. So for this one I went back to my roots and did a more cutesy anime style. It's definitely a style I've gotten away from over the years, but hey I think I still got it!

a little experiment running for a week and a half where i dont smoke so i can see if its an actual issue and interesting results when i was away from home lounging on a beach all day i didnt think about it at all but now im here back to my actual life im nearly clawing my eyes out
(They/them)
What info we can find on them points them to being a disco star back in the 70s with a streak of associated crimes and occasional murders. We're guessing eventually venues ran dry and they became a Contractor... Or we presume anyways, we might be getting tricked.
Role: Trickery, sabotage, and occasionally picks
Stats: Slightly faster then average speed, 125 health, no armor
Stock Arsenal:
Primary: Suppressed Pistol - Sometimes all you have left is a gun. Fires quickly and reloads slowly.
Secondary: Trap-Jector - A hologram projector and the bag of tricks! On a cooldown, you may place a gadget which takes a second to get set up. Most gadgets self-destruct. Stock four is an explosive trap, a gadget that highlights enemies in range to you and teammates, a gadget that drains ammo and meters, and a gadget that hacks buildings near it.
Melee: Taser - For self-defense and self-offense. Hits with this viewpunches (moves the player's aim as if it were punched, like a large flinching effect in other source games) and slows the enemy in question.
Misc: Sleeve PDA - A disguise and cloaking gadget, at once! Cloaking and disguise works like TF2's but placing down traps also undisguises you.
Location of Origin: Unknown, presumed to be Canada
Motto: "Chaos, chaos, let it reign!"
Special Skills: Con-artistry, acrobatics
Professional Relationships: Mostly disguises as others to interact, occasionally does interact without a disguise with the others though.
(wahoo! second support character out! clearest analogue is to the Spy but i always felt like the spy was outclassed by the sniper, so i made Mx. Jevil here trap and trick focused! thank you to @schmegaman-x as always!)

Summary:
Androids aren't alive, they don't feel and they don't have emotions. Dream is no exception, as an android designed to fight crime and solve cases he doesn't feel anything, and he doesn't care about anything because he can't care... really he can't, even if his coworkers don't seem to agree. This thought will be tested, especially since rouge androids are becoming more and more of an issue. What will happen when Dream finds himself on the opposite side of a war he was meant to stop.
Anyway so I made due on the whole next chapter soon thing huh uh happy Thanksgiving I suppose. Thanks for sticking with me I really don’t want to do 1 chapter a month but school and shits has been hitting me hard but anyway hope you like this one its a little short but it felt right to end it there and more SOON cause I already have the scene where Dream finally breaks down those walls written and I need to get it out there
5. Do you plan or jump right in, and if you plan, how much do you like to do before you start a story?
I do a LOT of plotting. My outlines are usually dozens of pages and highly detailed, and I almost always complete those all the way through to the climax of the fic before I ever write the first chapter. I plan out plot elements, dialogue bits, recurring motifs, character arcs, etc all before I ever write the first real sentence. It's kind of exhausting. Every now and then I'll treat myself to a bit of fun and just write unplanned drabbles, but they never get posted.
17. Do ideas come to you in pieces or full?
A bit of both. Usually the initial inspiration begins with a general plot (for my current ST fic, it would be 'Steve and Robin have an apartment, Eddie sleeps on their couch') and a motif or emotional thread I want to pull ('what to do with a broken thing?' and 'I just like doing nothing with you'). Then I spitball plot parts or character motivations until the story has a beginning, middle, and end.
When I was a kid my friend and I recreated Cinderella for our parents, I was taller so I was the prince and my friend was Cinderella. And I'm gay now so take that to mean what you will
Some people like Parisian designers, some people like Italian, but it seems like I end up liking all the Lebanese designers (Zuhair Murad, Elie Saab, Ziad Nakad, and now Rami Kadi)
Zero point to this, just an observation.
And nice job comparing gay people to incest and pedophilia, totally helping us not be killed or anything.
reverse uno at you back when you're doing the same thing by accusing a bisexual trans man as a pedophile with no evidence whatsoever other than "art that makes me uncomfortable 🥺🥺🥺" :D
