Drawing yassified men gotta be one of my fav hobbies✍️
Told you I would redraw this🍊. The artstyle change is so embarrassing, but my hand got use to old habits. Bills grin in this rlly got me on my knees ong (model au, wink)
BTW I hope ppl can tell that Bill has a lil ponytail and not his hair down, cuz I feel like it's hard to tell🤨
We're ignoring the fact I've been drawing 🌲 w/ a srs expression for most of my drawings - It's become an addiction ik, but everytime I land on his face I can't help trying to make him look like he came from a painting tbh. Imma start changing it up tho😔💔

Story? Sounds interesting!
(if you're ok with sharing!)
🫂
Alright, here's the story:
It's Tuesday, and I usually have Drawing 1 on Tuesdays for this semester; we basically draw a photo together in this class to hone our skills in traditional drawing.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, my college does this thing where only a batch of 15-20 students can attend the session face-to-face (abbreviated f2f onwards) while everyone else attends online. My entire block/class of 40-50 students had been divided for that policy, but we can swap out slots as long as we inform our professor.
Now, today isn't just one of my regular Tuesdays — my class had a scheduled meetup in a barangay hall later that afternoon for a dance practice as part of our Physical Education class final. Four of my classmates and I had to squeeze into my family's car as we went for the venue.
I'm fairly well-acquainted with my blockmates and even good friends with one of them, so casually there came a conversation about yesterday.
One of them asked something like, "Hey, so sino pala yung crush mo? (Who is your crush?) Is it [crushie]?"
Remember: we're all squeezed together
in my family's car
with my mom driving and my dad in shotgun.
It's kind of funny to think about.
I laughed ("Ha? HAHAHAHAHHA hatdog!") before going, "Si Mark! Sina Markiplier at Jacksepticeye! (Mark! Markiplier and Jacksepticeye!)"
"Oh, nah, it's [crushie]," goes another blockmate.
"Paano mo nasabi? (How can you say that?)" I jokingly asked.
Oh, oh my poor poor self.
One would think that I'd only get this kind of situation only in fanfics when supporting characters are telling the main character about their love interest.
Why do I say this?
A blockmate responded to paano mo nasabi? with, and I quote:
"Halata kasi eh. Obvious."
Halata is an adjective, meaning obvious or easily noticeable.
Kasi is the Tagalog equivalent for because.
I tried to brush it off with another paano mo nasabi and the same blockmate replied like, "Isa, halata since we were groupmates during first term."
Ah.
Hatdog na lang po ang masasabi ko. /j
- [in Tagalog] Hatdog is all I can say now.
BONUS:
We were at the venue already and I was getting changed with the blockmate I was good friends with.
I actually personally admitted to her who crushie is while changing, and she went, "Oh, I knew it" and laughing light-heartedly.
She also said that I exuded Wattpad fanfic energy. It has not left my brain since.

Dreams I desire,
I wanna be soft. I wanna say things that matter. I wanna know what it's like to wake up and be so in love; with myself. I wanna be warm and inviting and kind. I wanna see my kids grow like wildflowers in a field all around me. I wanna help them grow. I wanna be a sun, nourishing and plentiful. I wanna hold them when they're sad and celebrate with them when they're happy, even if I'm not at the moment. I wanna contribute in some way to something that's important. I wanna be the person that someone thinks of when they're reminded of something that made their day. something that mattered. something delicate and forgiving.
~-~Things I regret not to be~-~

Wattpad was a really good site for reading books. Emphasis on 'was'. I think I got into wattpad when I was 13 years old , so this is maybe 2014- 15. Eventhough it had cringe stories ( what fanfiction site doesn't ?) , it was such a good site , I had just gotten a smartphone of my phone, and it had no sim card, so the only way I could access the internet was through the home wifi. So when I went out, my phone was basically useless. But it was apps like wattpad that allowed me to access content without the internet. I could download loads of books so I can read it offline, it was completely free. And I read so many stories, some were cringe, some were mediocre and others were really good. I honestly had so much fun on that app, and so did a couple of my friends.
Fast forward to the pandemic, and I had actually deleted the app when I was in 10th grade to focus more on my studies. So by reinstalling the app, I expected to read a lot of stories during the pandemic. But the minute I opened the app, there were so many changes. There were so many ads, there were content you couldn't access , trial books? And the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that they put a limit on the number of books to be downloaded.
It made me furious, that was the whole reason I loved the app! That I could read stories without the internet, and they took that away!
That's when I hopped over to Ao3 and discovered the joys of filters , no ads and no algorithm . It truly is a relief in this day and age where every website on the internet is made purely to get profit. ( no problem with making profit, but most of the time user experience is sacrificed for it)
And the no algorithm thing weirded me out a bit, ( so did Tumblr, but I learned quickly how it works and it's become my preferred social media site) .
So all the "young ones" out there figuring out whether there's an algorithm to ao3, there's no such thing. Filters are your bestfriend ( I would love to kiss the hands of the person who made tags and filters on ao3, truly they're doing God's work)

Why did I ever return to Quora?
I swear the levels of "I'm aN iNtElLeCtUAL" are even worse on there than they are on Reddit. Particularly among the authors.
They seem to think being published literally makes them better than everyone else and gives them the right to put down newbies for making mistakes.
I'd rather not engage with any of them at all after seeing the way they act towards newcomers to the craft, and I don't even wanna post anything because I just know they're gonna come in heavy fisted with the "OH, a fanfictioner? Don't you know you should NEVER publish your work for FREE if you want to be taken SERIOUSLY as an author???"
How about eat my dick and I'll do whatever I want with my work because I fucking wrote it, thanks.
