#I don't take myself too seriously

[deoidesign]

Are you slowly going insane over your OWN ocs?

No, I've been infected by brainworms the entire time. Nothing slow about it.

But honestly, no... It's not really about my characters to me. I love my characters, of course, and I love telling stories, and I hope to keep making art of my characters every day until I die.

But it's not about them! They're not REALLY what I love, what I love is people! And I hope I can leave the world with a hundred different love letters so my readers can feel how much I love them for even one day longer than I am here.

My characters are a conduit through which I can give that to people. I want nothing more than to make someone feel a little more loved, a little more seen, and a little less alone. And my characters are the best way I know how to do that.

So for that, they're incredibly important to me... But they're not for me. They're for you!

So I hope you enjoy them

and I hope you can feel that I love you through them.

#personally I dont like to use the word insane to describe myself or others #I struggle with many things but when it comes to my characters #I am nothing but concrete #determined #and absolutely positively headstrong through and through. #I don't take myself too seriously #And I don't hold too much sacred that I do #I really just want to make the world slightly better #for even one person #anyways. #asks #izzy-fishy #oh this is also why I hate like... advertising #and locking anything behind a paywall #and just. all of that stuff #I wish I could just make money drawing whatever and everything I do were free with no issues #but the best way for me to pay my bills and make more art is for some of it to be for money... so. #unfortunately I dont get to truly live my dream #where I spend all day teaching people how to draw and making them art they love #ALAS!!! #capitalism

here's 18-19 year old aang sketches. been hearing aang is ugly discourse—no he ain't. he was just 12.

#i really wanted to take part in zukaang bingo but the urge to art struck me a little later #i still might make something else later #enough art for now #i'd try to participate in maiko week but i'm not sure #it's smack in the middle of end semester exams #ink blot #avatar fanart #avatar the last airbender #atla #artists on tumblr #fanart #avatar aang #why did i never use the pencil brush before?!?! i seriously have a personality flaw where i just don't explore stuff. #can you believe i've been using the same fucking brush for lineart ever since i started digital art? #anyways! i don't know how the pencil brush would feel like if i go for colours but this is impeccable. #I have more control over stuff and i love the result #so #i have promised myself i'd be fucking off this hellsite because i have a huge backlog of work that needs to be done #and i'm presently suffering from “can't help but art”. so #yeah. y'all would probably see me around maiko week. byeee! #if i deprive myself of drawing for too long it bursts out of me like this where i do nothing but draw #not healthy at all

Spring cleaning...?

Been getting tired of my old name/handle online as Zofia. I really wanted a refresh and have been enjoying going by Aev for some time now so that's what I'd prefer folks call me 💗 With this change I am also transitioning my art handle away from artofzofia to just aevari going forward as well. My art blog: @aevari my commission website: aevari.carrd.co my art twitter: @aevari_art my kofi: @aevari_art I still have a lot of updating to do on my social media/website/paypal to reflect the change in the coming weeks, especially as I prepare to launch my commissions again in early May.

I have artofzofia here on tumblr and twitter that will be redirecting to the new urls in case folks try searching me up and haven't caught up to the news yet. At least for a little while before I ditch it entirely.

Thanks for listening and really excited to just go by a new online handle and name that better reflects me 🌷

#aevari is actually one of my most beloved ocs! lol have been vibing with just aev for myself hehe it's a nice gender neutral online name. #i also wanted to kind of chill out on being so Official with my handles like 'artof'. #while i DID like that my handles across the board was all unified and I can't with this change I am not even that known for it to matter #that much lol so I don't want to take my art too seriously and just enjoy posting rather than being like Professional

Got bitten when they were escaping the gun store. Immediate medical attention to the wound stopped the rot of soft tissue, bearable weakness.

Infection reached stage 2, most people would have gave into the hunger, Cap remained sane and in control of his body though urages have affected personality. Physical activity keeps him sane, assigned to do all heavy lifting.

Has Katniss or Peeta ever farted during sex?

Anon, I hate you right now. I hate you for how hysterically this ask made me laugh. I hate you because I wrote this *waves hands around vaguely* ridiculous thing, instead of making any real progress on my WIPs. So I'm gonna call you out for this, because your question is either that of someone with a very juvenile sense of humor, or someone who's had enough sex irl to know the kinds of funny/embarrassing/ridiculous things that can happen when bodies are involved. Or both. Enjoy whatever this is.

<3 kdnfb

“Katniss, would you please come out of there?” Peeta calls, leaning on his forearm crutch and knocking on their bathroom door.

“No!” she shouts. “Go away, Peeta!”

“It’s really not that big of a deal,” he tries to soothe, but he knows he’s failing because he’s trying so hard not to laugh. “It’s not like you did it on purpose.”

The door flies open and he quickly tries to wipe the amusement off his face. Her narrowed eyes and deepening scowl tell him that he’s definitely failing.

“Easy for you to say. You’re not the one who farted in the middle of an orgasm!”

“I barely even felt it,” he says and then cracks with a short laugh before managing to get the rest out. “Even if I definitely smelled it.”

“Argh!” she shouts and slams the door in his face again. He takes a moment to get his laughter under control. Trying to understand how embarrassed Katniss probably is.

“Besides,” he says and knocks softly on the door again. “I’m choosing to take it as a compliment.”

“How the fuck is that a compliment?”

“Felt so good you just couldn’t control yourself,” he says and his mind easily jumps back to the sight of her above him, her body undulating in a frenzy and the loud, erotic sounds she was making. The feel of her riding his cock like that had him nearly undone right there with her. Her silence now, on the other side of the door, has him thinking maybe she’s remembering it too. How hot and incredible it was.

Until the hot puff of air hit his balls and the stench filled the room.

“Kind of like a belch being a compliment to a chef?” he offers and Katniss snorts loudly.

“Don't pull that stupid boy stuff on me. That’s not a compliment. It’s just bad manners.”

“Alright, Effie,” he says and rolls his eyes, grinning as he hears her protesting scoff through the door.

“Take it back!” she shouts and flings the door open when he doesn’t. She pursues him to the bed and pushes him just enough that he sits down. But he’s not complaining. Naked, infuriated Katniss does things to him.

Only she’s not entirely infuriated. Her lips are twitching. Peeta grins and wraps his arms around her waist, peering up at her innocently as he can.

“Alright, I take it back. But I’m never lighting romantic candles for us again. Wouldn’t want your flatulence causing our sex to literally send the room up in flames.”

#words are peetas thing not mine #puts myself in the cone of shame #crack fic #what even is this lmao #i don't even want it in the everlark tag #someone's gonna take it too seriously and get offended lol #smut happens #off screen #and so do farts

James was that insect kid, loved grabbing all the bugs he came across, not afraid of anyone of them. Bug boi James.

My evidence is his movie wand and that's all I got for you.

He names each big he catches. 🥺 He befriends the insects, doesn't matter the size or how venomous they are. 🥺🥺🥺🥺

The question 'which of my original stories is least likely to be booted from a distributor (like Amazon) for its highly questionable content' is like...a tough one, because I inevitably end up with something like 'oh what about The Wildness Within? That's pretty tame and- OH THE INCEST' and it's like...

Oof okay try again.

#taking the idea of looking into paperbacks/hardbacks a bit more seriously #now that i'm on the vyvanse and my brain can brain a little better #i should be able to keep the serials freely online as 'ebooks' #and have the paperback/hardback be charged/paid editions #i may have to break them into smaller novels though #ANYWAY pls don't get too excited i always find this process super intimidating and scare myself away from it again #but i am definitely researching it more deeply this time

[dragonlights]

Like I don't Post about drama but vis a vis predestro's Tumblr ban, like. I don't necessarily think it's a good thing that we on the Internet have become so desensitized to threats of violence that we use them as jokes, but like.... That's been Tumblr culture for, what, a decade now? At least four years. Almost definitely longer.

And like. I've seen so much worse. Folks admitting to sending asks telling others to kill themselves!! Folks outright wishing x/y person killed themselves!!! Folks harassing trans folks (esp. trans women!)

But what gets this one lady banned was her man door hammer hand car boom-ass post???

Like, talk about enforcing the TOS from the wrong angle.

I totally get that part of it is "this person had their rule breaking reported en masse so something happened" but shouldn't the severity of the response have more to do with the severity of the offense, rather than how many people reported that user?

Like. The fact that we have to do mass reports to get anything to happen to anyone is ridiculous.

And, the fact that INCORRECT mass reports aren't punished more is also ridiculous.

There's also no report function for discriminatory content, or for seeing users harass each other. So... If you're not the one being harassed, your report does... Nothing??

Unless you, what scroll through someone's blog looking for things you could report as threatening violence??

On the "I hope every politician dies" webbed site???

There's obviously something fucky with their reporting system- either the way that reports are handled, or the way the severity of the reports are being judged.

Cause right now, it looks like they got a flood of reports from TERFs, photomatt saw a post about him, and went "well, fuck it, get her out of here" without looking at the context of HER BEING HARASSED FOR AGES. And that the post in question- the only one I saw shared!- was almost certainly a vent post for Said Situation that was...

Comically mishandled?

Like this one?

Like. Look. Do I think maybe at some point, on the "way too comfortable with violence on people I see as Wrong in some way" webbed site, a popular user said something that could actually be construed as a threat, and due to rampant transmisogyny got, got her shit reported?

Yeah, I can see that.

I don't follow her blog too closely, I know she does a lot of hyperbolic stuff. (as is Done on this Web site, again... I've almost certainly rb'd things just as bad)

But the example photomatt uses is hilariously bad and so obviously not a threat, and one would think, IN LIGHT OF THERE BEING ALLEGATIONS OF TRANSPHOBIA ON THEIR TEAM FOR YEARS, THEY WOULD BRING OUT A MORE CREDIBLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAN A LOONY-TOONS ASS DEATH WISH.

Just. The bar was on the ground and they still fumbled It! Fucking! Amazing!

#dragontalk #i don't like all her views on transandrophobia. but her takes on the ways trans women are policed are spot on. #but seeing this shitshow is wild! I've followed thia lady for ages and she's like. Intense but fine? #again. i don't follow her blog too closely! there might be more harsh shit that I'd never seen! #but. mostly i see a lady who's had to fight constantly. in a way lots of trans women have. to be taken seriously. #not as a threat. not as a joke. not as a hypothetical. but as a person! who's experience this like. #really shitty intersection of transphobia and transmisogyny and probably regular misogyny and like. l #i think most of us would get pretty snippy at that point too #and given we exist in a culture way too comfortable with wishing violence on people... yeah. #most of us would have wished ~someone~ got hit with a falling grand piano or an anvil or stepped on a rake so hard they died #just. truly wild times we live in. #maybe i should start a collection of 'this post wishes violence on someone' #maybe even narrow it to 'violence on someone who hasn't upheld state sanctioned violence during their life' #to cut out the ronald Reagan margeret thatcher queen lady ass violence wishes #which i can't even bring myself to care about. and that says something about me o don't think i like. but like. #but at the aame time too much colonial ass violence in this world. I'm Tired.

real introspection hours, who up

#it's so funny to me though because sometimes im like wow I don't done so much work on myself and really made peace with a lot of things #and then every so often it just flips to i must kill myself for the betterment of all mankind #now that may just be because of the Kill Yourself Disease so i tend not to take it too seriously anyway #but then also maybe i should actually look into what's behind that #but i also don't want to

Shout-out to everyone who survived a "fun" easter with the family

#fucking hell #it started with finding out my dad smoked in my car when I picked up my sister #who was equally dreading the day #my mum turns into the world's tensest and judgemental presence. worsened by my aunt #then hell for autistic people (of which there are multiple present) #multiple deaf people means one uninspired conversation that isn't interesting in any way. #combinations of passive aggressiveness and people not saying a thing because they can't participate. voice volumes too damn high #weirdass food situations. Very full table. so many smells. #this goes on for over an hour. wishing for literally anything but being there. soul crushing. #then you still have to sit in that room for 2.5 hours. it just goes on and on. #my autistic deaf dad physically looks like how I feel. my mum and aunt keep piling on top of him to demand his mental presence #i leave the room once (to get my phone to show pictures to my uncle) and am immediately followed upstairs by my mum #who demands I don't leave the room (What's next. following me when I need the toilet?) #me and my sister are so bored we start throwing paper planes and fake fighting. #Which amuses the bored and the deaf #but of course my mum and aunt have opinions and this is not allowed. only soul crushing boredom allowed #they complain to each other over it while aggressively doing dishes #finally it ends because my mum and aunt start insisting my dad should go to bed if he's 'that tired'. *sprinkle on some additional ableism* #still sitting through a conversation about allergies one of my sister's friends has. my mum preaching that people should take that seriously #(meanwhile i had to cook for myself for 9 years because when my allergies were really bad no one bothered to check if i could eat something) #me and my sister go sit upstairs to discover our mum has made things we care about vanish in her room #and made things appear that should not be there #I've washed the interior of my car and hope the smell will go #you think it's over after that. but woke up with the realisation that even more things have disappeared from my sister's room. #i can't remember a time when things left outside of my room didn't disappear #I don't know why we do these family gatherings at all. no one has fun on days like that. #the housing crisis isn't making these things easy. my sister is losing her place to live again as well #she'll go hiking for a month and then work on a campsite over the summer #maybe I'll go house sitting again. idk. #can't make commitments a few months in advance like that because I'll cancel everything the second Sparks announces anything important

💐

#shocked with myself (maybe pleasantly surprised? is the right phrase) #at actually liking barbie a great deal more than i had prepared myself to #it was just a lot more sincere than i had expected; i was afraid it wouldn't be/be more on the snarky side of cinema lately #but it was strangely so much more heartfelt than that #of course some points felt rushed/too on the nose #but the girls and ryan gosling made me so happy #and her at the end saying (spoilers obvs) that yes YES she does want to take life by the hand and pay the price to live and live #also as a former representative of unrequited love the throughline felt a lot gentler than i was prepared for it to be #it was a lot more about emotion and the joy of growing up and growing old than i expected #i don't necessarily think its heart is as pure as a truly great movie?? #but it didn't laugh AT you. it made you laugh and it also meant what it said #which idk idk in a sea of endless winks at the camera laughing obnoxiously loudly media i appreciated the at least #wanting to live and live well aspect of it all and how it took that seriously #like someone on my dash said. i don't really know if it was a good movie?? but the borders of my mind are stretched #something in me is dreaming because of it. so i think that at least is worth it all #also all the girls in the theater laughing their heads off did something to me!!! #there were countless friends (including mine) decked out in pink and it was so so so sweet to me #(anyway. you didn't need these thoughts and maybe I'll retract it later when I've come down from the high of hugging both my buddies)

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.

Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.

#da2 #dragon age 2 #sebastian vael #listen in my defense..........i don't like bringing sebastian anywhere sksksks #okay look i seriously tried but every time i bring him somewhere i always think man i wish i had brought someone else #and also i do just forget about him! i finally added him to my party at one point and he had 24 points to spend... #that's how long i neglected him after i promised myself i was gonna use him more and then i didn't #it's not that i don't like sebastian as a character though i do tend to side eye him A LOT... it's just that i like everyone else more #even aveline like i'd take aveline over sebastian any day and that's saying something... or is it? i have a lot of feelings about aveline #whereas my feelings about sebastian could maybe fill a thimble...it doesn't help that in my canon run as a mage hawke #i romance anders and well... sebastian wants me to kill anders and my hawke is like 'do i approve of blowing up the chantry? complicated.' #'am i breaking up with anders for this? absolutely. do i still love him? mmhmmm. am i going to kill him sebby? i'd sooner set varric aflame #then sebastian threatens to bring an army to kirkwall and leaves so i can't say i have the greatest opinion on him #even the time where i did kill anders and he stayed in my party he was just... there #and then he glitched out and started t posing while asking if ed ever found out what anders wanted to do in the chantry so..... yeah #but even this playthrough where i'm playing as a lady warrior with a different personality and everything... i'd just rather use anyone els #also keep him away from bethany i do not approve sksksks she's too good for him #i want to understand and see the different angles of him like with the other companions but i've yet to convince myself to do it #also sebastian romancers out there can you like... explain? genuinely can you explain the appeal? i'm curious #because of all the love interests in da2 i look at sebastian and you'd think i'd maybe be more interested? but it's like... #i know about the chaste marriage and everything like that's fine i don't need sex to be a thing in the relationship but it feels less like #an asexual romance and more like... y'know... being with a priest and i guess that's just not one of my kinks? sksksks #i guess there's also the prince angle but i romanced alistair in dao and kept him a grey warden i don't really care about royalty power #and i don't have issues with him being a part of the chantry [well i do but yknow what i mean] since i romanced cullen in dai #and his whole deal with the chantry and magic and shit makes his romance interesting to me but sebastian is just.... a bit too much i think #i don't know i'd like to understand because i really don't but i also keep forgetting about him

[stef-rambles]

watching a vid about Chucky the Doll as the new k!ll3r in DBD yesterday probably gave me the weirdest brainfart I've had lately and I needa share it with you guys... xD

just as a small heads up; characters are way OOC, I'm very well aware of it, this is just a fun little idea I had and wanted to share

DBD AU with my four fav genshin idiots (lovingly) Alhaitham, Cyno, Neuvillette, and Wriothesley but instead of them all being calm and collected as they usually are, imagine them all nearly shitting their pants and turning into whimpering, in the corner sitting and rocking their bodies back and forth, wide-eyed staring, and trembling, horror-stricken messes after getting a glimpse of the k!ll3r, who's actually a short Doll (totally not thinking of Scara, dunno what you’re talking about) running around and lurking in the shadows to hunt them down

bc I can totally imagine Scara doing just that, spewing stuff like “don’t chicken out now!” and “where are you assholes?” or “you’re mine!” and “that’s what you get when you play with dolls!” or “gotcha! you dumb shit!” while viciously laughing as he scampers through high grass, holding a knife almost the same size as himself, just to get a thrill out of seeing the others being absolutely terrified outta their minds xD

#ooc post #out of character #seriously I'm aware they're OOC it's on purpose so don't come @ me #alhaitham #cyno #neuvillette #wriothesley #cytham #haino #wriolette #neuvithesley #if you squint #dbd au #look it just came over me i'm sorry #I'd probably shit my pants myself while playing the game bc like... Chucky is just next level creepy #but I love that little fucker #and I'm actually super excited they finally included him #but yea this was just a stupid little idea I had so pls enjoy xD #brain fart #dont take this too srsly #stef rambles

Hey, you! Yes, you!! Do you like omegaverse? Do you like stories where a beta main character gets so stressed out because he's suddenly King and has to make babies pronto, that he starts presenting Alpha?

Do you like the idea of an Omega servant who is honestly trying his best to help but is also actively making it worse? Do you like stories where the best friend characters call the mains out on their bullshit and also potentially have some bullshit of their own to deal with??

Do you like an indulgent, gratuitous amount of sex with angst and sneaking and mystery and feelings and a lot hanging on the outcome? Do you want stolen glances and lingering touches and enough UST to leave you breathless?

Do you want cock cages? Crossdressing? Rough, bruising sex scenes? Size kink? Butt babies?!

Then do I have a story for you!

The first installment of a series about a King and the Queen's servant is out! Available to order on paperback, or you can order it for Kindle and have it on Friday, May 26th!
