Ok, I've had this fanart for a long time in my sketchbook, and finally felt like posting it cause I have Tumblr now ^^ I recall making this doodle of RGB on a sketchpad (that later on became my beloved sketchbook with a spiral), and it still surprises me how well it actually aged, despite being 2 years old already! I was obsessed with The Property of Hate back then, and couldn't not draw @modmad's dapper lad :']
Hope you enjoy it!

I'm so glad you're back!! I love your UglyClub comics! ❤️
Thank you so much! On that note, I think I should actually talk a bit about The Ugly Club comics because I think there was a little confusion about which comic series I was posting to Webtoons. Here is the thing about The Ugly Club. It has spiraled into a HUGE thing for me. Like...a BIG HUGE thing. I wish I could show you all the piles of sketchbooks, notebooks, sketchpads, post-its, loose papers, rough drafts, scripts, files, research books, fashion books, art books, all devoted to the UC comic. It's been my main side-project/obsession for... jeez, like almost 4-ish years now? (can that be possible???) And it still is my main passion project, but I've realized that at this point it's going to take me SO much longer than I originally expected now that I'm this invested and I don't want to rush it out until I'm truly satisfied with the final story. It looks pretty different now, but I think (i hope) people will still like it. But I also realized The Ugly Club can't be my ONLY project or it's going to stymie my growth as an artist/comic creator and my momentum. So that's where the "Pontification Papers" come in. It's my side-project while I work on my side-project. I hope that's okay. Thank you all again for all your kind words of encouragement, I can't wait until the day I can show you folks the ugly boyz again :)

Valentine's Day Bingo: Blind Date - Neron 'Creeper' Vargas x Reader (Coffeeshop AU)
Tumblr media
Tagging: @kmc1989 @est1887 @anime-weeb-4-life @creativitybeware @mortal--soul @spaghettificationandpretzels @redpoodlern @lexondeck @librarian1002 @thanossexual @justreblogginfics @im-just-a-mississippi-girl @adaydreamaway08 @wnbweasley @skyesthebomb @fleureeee
Hitting the Blind Date Square on the Bingo Card
Companion piece to Barista
Tumblr media
Neron hasn’t been on a date for a long time, not since before he got sober. The things he did with women before that…
He wouldn’t call it dating.
His sobriety has changed him, it’s made him shyer, more reserved. What he craved back then was physical connection, what he wants now goes much deeper. It’s harder to meet people than he remembers, he used to go to parties, bars, clubs, now he has his crew and the coffeehouse.
The truth is he’s lonely, he likes his own company, but he wants more than that. He wants to make someone laugh, to hold them in the night, to be held in return.
It’s Hank that sets him up on the date.
“You’ll like her.” He promises. “The two of you have a lot in common.”
He’s nervous when he sits down at a table in the coffeeshop. It’s quiet today, the lunch rush has just finished up and Coco’s on the register, restocking the coffee bags. His knee starts jangling because that anxiety is chasing through his nerve endings. He knows this girl is going to take one look at him and walk out, he can feel it in his bones. He’s starting to spiral, his head getting a little messy, so he does the one thing that distracts him when he feels overwhelmed. He gets out his black A5 sketchpad and his fineliner and he begins to draw.
It starts as nonsense, a few straight lines before the image begins to take shape in his mind. His loses himself in the task for a few minutes, shading in the parts he need to, adding shadow here and there. He chases the ebbs and flows of his creativity, blocking out his surroundings. It isn’t until you tap his hand lightly with your fingertip that he even realises that there’s another person in his proximity.
His heart skips a beat when he sees that it’s you. The girl with the tattoos up her arms and the smile that makes him feel like he’s seeing the sunrise for the first time. He’s watched you from afar, you come in during the evenings with your tablet, sketching out your client drawings on the sofa in the corner.
Vanilla latte, he remembers, made with almond milk.
“Hi.” You say as you take the seat across from him. “I’m Hank’s friend, Nina.”
Love Creeper? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

Fic: Grannies (part 2)
Part 1 here Also just added to AO3 Summary: Gordon's committed to the bit. The bit just happens to be an obnoxious amount of granny squares In this part: Gordon ~*~*~*~*~ Okay, so truth time - Gordon really loves pranks. 
There’s nothing quite like a good laugh to cut the tension, and it’s taken many years of perfecting his skills to properly read the room and his family. He still gets it wrong sometimes because people are like that, but one thing he’s proud of is that his jokes aren’t mean-spirited. That’s a line he refuses to cross. A prank is only enjoyable as long as it’s not at the expense of the other person’s overall happiness or safety. 
The granny squares?  Those are easily his best prank idea in a long time. It’s the laugh that keeps on giving, and as far as the long game goes, if he’s right about Virgil actually doing something with the squares, it’ll be a good challenge for his older brother to embrace his inner chaos demon. He’s gotta have one in there.
There wasn’t some grand scheme or anything either; Gordon just started picking up yarn for himself at random and the whole leaving around the villa thing evolved organically. 
He’s made hundreds of granny squares, but he still remembers that first one: four rounds - blue, then lavender, yellow, and pink. Sometimes he grabs at random, sometimes he chooses based on whichever color draws his eye next. His theory of color is to follow where his gaze - or his heart - wants to go, and he remembers from that first square the way he felt when he started compared to how he felt after. 
Since it was Virgil that worked him so hard in his PT that morning, it felt only right to leave it for him to find. And the sketchpad was right there.
The game spiraled from there. Sometimes it would be single granny squares hidden in different places, sometimes it was multiple put in an obvious place - like the time he put at least 20 of them and mixed them into Virgil’s clean laundry basket. 
So here’s the fun part. 
He can walk now.
Okay, fine. Hobble. But, eh, semantics. 
The point is: more of the villa and surrounding areas just became independently available to him. 
He’s had a vision ever since operation grannies became an actual thing, and finally able to execute it, Gordon’s gathered a basket of twine, scissors, and a collection of granny squares, happily humming on his way to Virgil’s studio while the rest of clan Tracy is out on a rescue. A water rescue, nonetheless. 
Stupid Chaos Cruiser. Stupid Hood. 
As he rounds the corner, the chocolate tones of cello music drift past the open door of the study, left ajar in Virgil’s haste to attend John’s situation update in the lounge. Excellent! He didn’t even need to try to guess the passcode. Inside, the easel was bare, the paints still meticulously organized, but the desk chair was pushed back with papers scattered across the fine wood. A glance over at the sketches piqued his curiosity; he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t tempted but his mission was elsewhere. 
The large monstera plant in the corner towered over one of Gordon’s favorite chairs in all the villa. It was one of his favorite places to think; inspired perhaps just with proximity to Virgil’s creative genius. Most of his thesis had been written from that very recliner.
Ergonomic with lumbar support. 
Virgil swore he’d gotten it for his own aesthetics, but Gordon has his theories.
Gordon places the basket of knick knacks on the chair, so it’s in decent reach; he’d never be able to bend down far enough to grab what he needed if they were on the floor. First he picks up the twine, eye-balling the length he needs to wrap it around one of the stems of the plant and tie it, and he cuts what he thinks he’ll need. 
The first granny square he picks up is a solid orange. There's not a lot of those; he tends to prefer the fun of multiple colors, but the bright neon colorways were also too good on their own. 
Gordon strings the twine through the corner of the granny, lifting it to the section of monstera he’s chosen to decorate. Like a Christmas tree, but with yarn instead of ornaments. And an aroid instead of an evergreen. He ties the knot itself tightly, leaving the string loose enough around the stem for Virgil to safely cut the twine and so it won't hurt the plant. The sailor's knots are instinct, and Virgil won't be able to just undo them. There's no sense trying too either. It's just twine. 
The next granny has the same orange as the last one, but it also has neon green with black every other row. His vision was for bright colors against the natural green of the plant, and so there are no Earth tones in what he collected for this prank. 
This one he hangs a bit lower, and after he steps back to admire the way the light filters through the fenestrations onto the fibers. It’s not glow in the dark yarn, but it does look like it could be radioactive in the darkness. Perfect. 
“What are you doing in here?” 
Gordon spins towards the voice and sees purple, but the rest of his body can move quicker than his leg can, so he trips over his own feet. His grandmother, closer than she sounded when she spoke, catches him in her arms. 
“Woah! Careful there, sunshine,” she urges, helping him right himself and rebalance. “You don't want to end up back in the infirmary, do you?” 
Her top is soft like velvet and her flowery perfume only reminds him of the comforting hugs after his manys scrapes growing up. Her concern is genuine, though the smile pulling at her lips is one of amusement as the realization of just what Gordon’s doing in Virgil’s study becomes apparent. Gordon flushes under her gaze. 
“Thanks, Grandma.” His shirt is fine, but he straightens it anyway. 
“You boys,” she says fondly. She finds one of the squares in the basket with purple in the center and gestures for a piece of twine. 
“Grandma!”
“What, dear?” 
“What would Virgil say?” He hands cuts her off a piece, beaming. 
“This will make Virgil smile,” she says in answer before reaching up to another section of monstera to tie the square. “I hope he leaves it up for awhile.”
“I’ve always admired you both for this. You make such beautiful things. And watching you with yarn reminds me so much of your mother. Lucy used to always carry around little project bags, you know. She’d make little socks and hats for you and your brothers.” She chuckles, “We’d be out for a meal and Lucy would be making stuff under the table.” 
Gordon nods. “I think it’s another way Virgil feels connected to her when the music’s too much. I’m actually surprised he agreed to share it with me,” he muses.
“I’m not.” There had been no hesitation, and Gordon stops what he’s doing to ask why she’s so certain. But she notices his expression before he can speak. “Don’t give me that look. Virgil adores you, dear.” 
Gordon smiles, because that’s just not phrasing that exists in the brother code. Regardless of how true it is, for all his annoying downfalls and all. Hell, he adores Virgil too, and he admits it by keeping the coffee pot filled, and learning to love jazz piano, and sometimes by making way too many granny squares to count. 
Trust Grandma to tell it like it is.
She stands back to admire their handiwork. “Sure, our Virgil is much like your mother in a lot of ways,” she says, “but you’re a lot like her too. More than you would remember.”
“Really?”
“Oh yeah. Your mother could never keep things organized. She was a bit of organized chaos herself.” Grandma swings a gentle arm around Gordon’s back and leans in to whisper. “She loved neon colors. I bet crafting with you feels a lot like crafting with her.” 
Gordon’s finishes tying up his current square, not sure what to really say to that. If there’s anything to say. 
“Do you have more of these?” Grandma asks.
“Of course.” That’s a look he knows well: a mischievous glint that inspired him in his youth, rather than the scolding he’d get from others. He raises an eyebrow. “Why?” 
“We have more plants in the lounge. Come on, dear. I can tell you’re getting tired on your feet.” 
“Yes’m!” 
Later, if John heard their cackles over comms, he wisely chose not to comment.

Rawnsyf please 🥺
Hi lovely anon <333 I decided to post grandekofi but I decided that I could also share some rawnsyf :) so this is just for you everyone else cover your eyes (jk please enjoy)
~~~~~~
Anetra got to her feet, dragging herself over to her own desk and plopping down into the chair. There had to be something she could do to relax, to stop her anxiety from spiraling.
A half-finished sketch, peeking out the corner of her sketchpad caught her eye.
It wasn’t much. A crude outline of Marcia, an abandoned rough draft of her birthday gift. The idea of that felt laughable now. Barely two weeks ago she had been willing to dedicate hours of her time to making custom artwork for her roommate. Today she could hardly stand to look at her.
Anetra pulled the paper out, staring at it for a moment before crumpling it up. For just a moment, she stayed there, crumpled drawing in her hand and heart pounding in her ears.

ideas for fighting burnout
blind drawing: put a sketchbook in front of you, take a pen then look at fun videos and just scribble on the page without looking away from the video Once the video has ended look down and see what you drew
Shadow shapes: take a bright light and a random object, place object next to sketchpad, place light behind, try drawing something in the shadow that makes sense
making your brain rage into functioning: draw as many tiny spirals in one go as you can Don't look away, don't try to think of anything else and DO NOT STOP until your brain rages to the point it gives you an idea just so you stop drawing fucking spirals
Hope these help
That last one sounds interesting. 👀

Hey Molly (: I hope your day is going well! I came up with a few headcanon questions if you feel like answering !
Headcanon challenge:
1. Besides “Mick” and “Mickey”, what’s Ian nickname for Mickey? From all the nicknames Mickey calls him , what’s Ian’s favorite?
2. What’s the story behind Mickey’s knuckle tattoos? (When / how / by who) When Ian gets a tattoo for Mickey, what is it / on what occasion?
3. Random turn-on for Mickey and a random turn-on for Ian? (Bonus: something that really shouldn’t be a turn on but is)
4. What’s their Instagram @ ? When did they start following each other?
5. If they get a pet, is it a dog (who walks it more often?) or a cat (who cuddles with it more often) ? 
hello anon <3 you always come up with such good questions damn
1. Besides “Mick” and “Mickey”, what’s Ian nickname for Mickey? From all the nicknames Mickey calls him , what’s Ian’s favorite?
i said this as a joke in response to a post about nick being short for nicholas and i firmly believe maybe 17 yr old ian would call mickey 'micholas' when mickey wouldnt tell ian his full first name at the start. i think ian likes using his name tbh, like he makes puns and fun nicknames and petnames all the time but i do think ians favourite will always be mickey or mick
2. What’s the story behind Mickey’s knuckle tattoos? (When / how / by who) When Ian gets a tattoo for Mickey, what is it / on what occasion?
oooh okay so i read a fic one time wher the knuckle tattoos are like a right of passage into becoming a milkovich man and i like that idea even if it makes me kinda sad, like maybe you have to earn the knuckle tattoos by doing something bc i cant remember if iggy or colin have them or not.
ANYWAY i think ian loves mickeys drawings, like now that theyre on the westside and earning money they can afford to spend a little extra $$$ on hobbies. maybe ian just happens to buy some pencils and a sketchpad and oh mickey starts drawing and ian gets one of mickeys drawings tattooed on his forearm and goes around saying 'my husband drew it'
3. Random turn-on for Mickey and a random turn-on for Ian? (Bonus: something that really shouldn’t be a turn on but is)
ians into biting like mickey biting on his shoulders or something as he orgasms ya know? and mickey,,,idk i think seeing ian enjoying himself can turn him on, fucking face to face and seeing ian enjoying himself but he wont admit it bc hes not a sap like that but he is a sap like that. also mickey now gets turned on by the smell of mayonaise due to that being the lube in prison like pavlovs dog
4. What’s their Instagram @ ? When did they start following each other?
i dont think either of them got instagram until later bc i dont think either of them owned their own phone until late teens anyway ian makes one first and it's just something with his name like ian_gallagher and then maybe he changes it during the gay jesus mania and it spirals but then he deletes that one and goes back to ian_gm and mickey wants to be annonymous and i keep going back to macys tumblr fic so maybe something similar to the fuck u-up url and then he changes it later to mickey_mg bc theyre sweet like that
5. If they get a pet, is it a dog (who walks it more often?) or a cat (who cuddles with it more often) ? 
ian goes on runs with the dog every morning and then they both take it for a walk in the evening and the cat is obsessed with mickey and always sheds on his clothes and he complains about the fucking cat all the time but has to buy the fancy cat food bc 'she likes it more ian!'

i have an art class this week and i’m having a problem, which is that when you carry a spiral bound sketchpad around, the movement causes the pages to laterally rub against each other, and that makes graphite and charcoal drawings smudge.
i google how to fix this and only get results about rebinding a spiral notebook with a broken spiral (not what i asked)
i try duckduckgo because google sucks now, and i get one (1) relevant result, a reddit thread asking about this exact problem. no good answer. most of the commenters say to use fixative, but it’s obviously not practical to bring a full sized spray can everywhere you bring your sketch pad.
but one guy just says. one guy just says: be more careful with it. oh! just be more careful! why didn’t i think of that! i’ll just walk several blocks to the train station with it, more carefully. holding it like a drink tray so that my footsteps do not move it in any way. what a reasonable expectation. and then get on the train with it. more carefully. ask the conductor to drive the train extra carefully as well. and then push my way through the rush hour crowd at a major city’s busiest train station. without being pushed or jostled at all. something that of course can be accomplished just by being careful. i suppose i should stop punching and kicking the sketchpad as well, since i’m being more careful with it now. because of course i wasn’t already being as careful as possible. i was just needlessly shaking it and doing violence to it because i had never thought of the idea of being careful before. thank goodness a redditor was there to tell me about being careful.
anyway if anyone has a real fix for this let me know.

Youth
Chapter 4
Tw:
Word count: 342
Chapter 3 <- Chapter 4 -> Chapter 5
Youth's Masterlist
Masterlist
The sunlight fluttering through the skylight made Marinette's face scrunch up in confusion and discomfort. Rolling over she was enveloped by the soft plush of her stuffed animals and pillows, which was enough to get her to peel her eyes open.
She's not sure when she woke up or how long she spent silently walking around her room but, she had forgotten so much of her life before the hospital... it was almost terrifying how much she didn't know about herself. How she used to love to sew and how she used to want to be a fashion designer and how she loved that one blonde boy...
what was his name...
Oh well, it doesn't really matter does it?
He's probably forgotten about me anyways.
She thought as she picked up a notebook and started to flit through it, looking at all her old designs. As she looked she felt like she was invading someone's privacy, as if these sketches weren't hers. As if the draws she had gone through weren't hers, as if the room she was standing in wasn't hers, as if the clothes she was staring at weren't hers... It all felt so foreign
"Marinette?"
The voice brought her back, dull and void eyes watched the swollen trap door of her room open. The soft click of the lock was enough to ground Mari enough for her to fully ground herself. The subtle scent of berries and honey filled the room as Sabine stepped over the hundreds of objects that littered the floor, that seemed to weave in a spiral, where her daughter sat. Her legs crossed, hair in a horribly done bun, and a sketchpad in hand but... still in those hospital clothes...
"Baby..? I brought you some breakfast..."
Sabine's voice was gentle as she gently knelt down. Her knees meeting whatever hardwood floor they could find, cracking and popping as she did.
"What's all... this?'
Sabine asked gently, looking at the spiral of items that surrounded her daughter.
"I... I'm trying to figure out who I am."

Third Quarter of 2023. [July]
art works and poetry, chronological order.
please don’t judge my art…i’m not exactly a Bob Ross descendant.
Dragon Eyes - July 3
11:30 - 11:34am
It's always those with dragon eyes that leaves me with silent cries. Out of pain or out of too much happiness, all I know is I get sucked in a spiral that's endless.
I don't know what to make of everything. But the dragon eyes are better than nothing. At least the eyes are something.
It's always those with dragon eyes that I think I found a possession so prized. Leave me in pain or even happiness, all I know is I get sucked in a spiral that's endless.
Just because of those dragon eyes…
(reading Alternative Alamat) - July 6
12:57 - 1:00pm
To be lost in a world of fantasy, In a land of realms holding my history Is an experience to behold.
A land full of stories from up above And whispers of rumors from down below, Everything is a story left untold.
Living in the present, I dive and breath the trees As I read and digest every word in bold.
Ulan - July 9
5:32 - 5:38pm
Mula sa iilang pag patak Ay unti-unting bumuhos Ang musika na hehele. Karangyaan kung isipin. 'Di lahat ay nabiyayaan Ng pusong gaya niya. Ang pagluha ng ulap? Tila ba'y nalulunod Sa ligayang dala Ng mabigat na alapaap.

ALSO ive finished my A4 sketchpad and since ppl tend to get me art supplies ive got a small stockpile of empty a4 sketchpads. so now i need to figure out which one to use next. my one i just finished was one with like, a spiral at the top + 25 pages 150 gsm. which ive used for years so its fine but when i did my college portfolio last year + during college i used A3 notebooks instead and i really liekd those. and 3 of my A4 stockpiles r notebooks. so im considering using one of those. i think that would be nice :3. also i need to figure out what to do with that oil pastel horse drawing bc thats on a loose sheet of paper and i cant put it in an A4 sketchpad bc the edges will stick out :/ i know i have a folder somewhere with old watercolour drawings so maybe i should get a folder for loose oil pastels?? hm. thinking.

And this is my favorite type of sketchbook/sketchpad for like at home (or studio) doodling/sketching/drawing
9x12 (or a bit larger works as well) so lots of room on the page to do a lot of doodles or larger pictures without having to use like a 4H pencil to be able to make out any details, spiral at the top even tho I sometimes turn it sideways anyway but the other format just is worse idk why, 100 sheets so I don't feel like I need to be precious about what I draw in it, and smoother paper rather than toothy paper bc I prefer it, and tear-out-able pages.

Some part of Beth is absolutely certain that there is actual sunlight in Chris' DNA. Almost nothing is so terrible that he can't make better with a little grin. But everything she says isn't really hyperbole. She's got several sketchpads from over the years where she's made him her model for fan-art. She's never been confident in her own skills enough to show him, nor is she so sure he'd appreciate being the central point of her pens, paints, chalks. Some day, maybe. "Well, duh," she ducks her head a little, side to side, and then laughs. "T' be a membah of da Lantern Corps is t' be someone wi' great strength of will, courage, imagination, but mos' best of all...hope. An' if dat is not how t' describe you, I don' know wha' is. As for da suit, I mean John Stewart rocked it, so you probably make it supah-stylish. An' if you got 'em...flaunt 'em. A small kine jealousy is healt'y for a person." Perhaps she blushes a little but Jessica would say that to her all the time, especially when Beth got older and certain features never...developed to fullness while others did. And Beth's right there to combat Chris' doubt. "Yeah but also t'ink about how much ma'd dere are in bakin'. Ya usin' fractions an' multiplications...division, measures and weights, times an' temperatures, ratios. It ma'd an' chemistry an' alchemy all mix togeddah. So don' sell yaself short. I no can do wha' you do, literally." Her fingers curl around his when he takes her hand ~all bird bones and soft skin~ and savours the warmth of him. Her gaze dips down a moment and takes in the shades of difference between them, the concentric spirals that his thumb draws against her, and how gentle he always tries to be. "Andy fake it real good but he was nevah a dancer," Beth confides, though some of the shine does leave her eyes. It always does when she thinks about her brother and grieves for him all over again. "A lot of time he'd sit in my maddah's hālau an' play his guitar or try his hand a' da drums." Something else she doesn't do much, talking about her mother and not referencing the ocean when she does so. She glances up in time to meet his gaze through her lashes and her face is cast in a faint blush that highlights the tiny freckles at the corner of her mouth and along the bridge of her nose. "Hey, dat's not true. You have an enormous heart, an' a beautiful spirit. A wonderful smile. You're smart an' generous an' carin'. All dem kine make you choke rich... beddah dan any cash or coin you could have. Nevah forget dat. Besides, everyt'ing I got is yours too."
