i, like every other fic author in existence, love getting comments from people who enjoyed my work. i don't care if your comment is "late" (that's so weird to me like it's literature—do you apologize to homer for being late to reading the odyssey?) or "unintelligible" (late night commenters, english language learners, people who feel like they "just aren't that good with words", believe me, i entirely understand what you mean and appreciate it immensely), or anything else that you feel might make your comment 'not good enough'. i love all of the comments i receive and i am eternally grateful to all of you for your continued support.

and yeah, i've read fics where i felt like adding a comment would be doing the fic a disservice because there was nothing that could be said that wouldn't cheapen or patronize the magnum opus i'd just witnessed. in instances like this, that is exactly what i say in the comment: "there's nothing i can say that doesn't do this work of art a disservice. thank you for writing this."

actually, now that i think about it, there are a bunch of ao3 comments i've gotten that i still haven't replied to because i felt any thanks i could give would be inadequate. i should really get around to replying because i want them to know how spellbound they left me. i love you all, have i ever mentioned that?

all of that being said, i would like to make a public service announcement!

at least under default settings, ao3 authors do get notified every time you edit a comment. i've accidentally hit send too early before, or realized i forgot something i wanted to say, i get it, i really do. i have edited many comments in my day.

but you don't have to do this. really, it's okay. most of the time i honestly can't tell what the difference is. i'm not going to think worse of you for having typos in your comments because i guarantee that there were more in the fic you just read sfkljghsl

also these edits were over the course of twenty full minutes. i got another email while writing this post and had to update the image. please do not spend 20 minutes agonizing over your comment and changing the capitalization and adding a few words. it's okay, i promise. i love your comment, and i'm very very grateful for it, regardless of how "polished" it is. i'm not your english teacher in disguise.

tl;dr, i love you all and i hope you don't feel anxiety or a compulsion towards perfectionism in my ao3 comments section. i won't judge you, i promise <3

#squido's op #squido rambles #i hope i don't sound annoyed because i don't want to sound annoyed #but also that was a lot of emails #if they were different comments that would be sick i love that #but on several occasions i've had edit spam #and i don't really understand the logic behind it #i figured that people just don't know that we get notified every time you edit a comment #so that's all i wanted to say really but i got sidetracked with appreciation because i think someone plugged some of my works somewhere #because i've been seeing a big uptick in comments lately and it's really really sweet #i haven't written for this fandom (or at all really) in a long time now so i'm always really really happy to see my works are still #out there and being read and loved and affecting people. i do still plan to finish hfwkadwm i promise #i guess i have writer's block >:/ never had it quite like this before #BUT I SAID I WAS GONNA FINISH IT AND I AM #MARK MY WORDS I'LL FINISH THIS FIC OR DIE TRYING #eventually

is it ok if people use your art for layouts with proper credit?

yes, you can use my arts for your profile pics, banners etc; personal use only, with credit! and that it's not for your own profit and benefit. we're all people who create things for fun and enjoyment ^^

though i'd like to emphasize that i also don't allow reposts and edits on my art anywhere, even with credit. what i've allowed so far is what you can do to enjoy em!

#i've got a lot of ppl asking this so there's your confirmation #bc i forgot i don't have much of a presence or activity in tumblr sdjhf really sorry #also extra note to those in my inbox; i appreciate the reports on the cases of reposting- and to anyone else who will stumble it soon #i hope you can report those posts as well! #still trying to figure out how i'm gonna answer the rest of my inbox rn forgive me i just got back into my semester T__T #qiiasks #anonymous

I wanna thank my irl friends who follow me here and also my beloved mutuals as well as followers who still send me kind messages and try to interact with me and my stuff even if I'm bad at doing it myself.

Honestly, things haven't been that great with me lately, so... it means a lot to me. Honestly. <3

#personal #i had to make the tough decision to drop out of school last week #i didn't exactly want it if i'm being completely honest here #but certain stuff was preventing me from getting further so i knew the teachers are gonna ask me to quit over at our teams meeting #i instantly contacted my nurse about my situation. and she got me a doctor's appointment which was yesterday #where i kind of broke down a little. not because she didn't grant me the sick leave i thought i was going to get #after feeling down and sleeping terribly for weeks #but because she actually *got me*. like. she actually listened to me and figured out some stuff and told me that #what i'm going through and what i've been going through for years would make anyone depressed #so i couldn't help but cry a little because yeah. i'm so tired of never being enough no matter how hard i try #because my brain's wired a certain way and it makes me slow and kinda clumsy and inattentive at times #which. you might guess is not ideal at today's work environment. or studying-wise even #so instead of granting me sick leave (she did say we can change that at anytime though) she told me to wait for that phone call #from the unemployment office. which i should be getting tomorrow. or well. later today #and talk to them about this. to see if they can offer some solutions. or if we can figure something out #'cause i'm getting closer to my 40s and not getting anywhere and it's wearing me out and tiring me out #because i clearly can't help myself or change my ways on my own #i managed to get some work last week though. at the local youth house. one shift though but money still #but i haven't been getting those offers a lot during the past few months so it's not enough to support me obviously #so i definitely need something else. and i hope i can get help. that someone could help me #i should finally get tested for adhd next month too. i don't know if i even have it or if it's gonna change anything but #at least i'd know #anyway i needed to get this off my chest. cause i'm kinda crying a little bit even now just thinking about this whole thing #sorry

I’ve finished the third Fëanorian Week drawing.  Only four more to go....  In the meantime, here’s another Star Trek post for you because 1. it’s April Fool’s Day which makes me want to post something funny, and 2. I just recently finished the third TOS season and am in denial about having run out of new episodes.  But now it’s on to the movies!

I’m sure this joke has been made before, but I can’t believe this was literally a plot point in an episode.

Transcription:

[Garth as Kirk:] “Shoot him, he’s the clone!” [Spock:] “The real Kirk would never pass up an opportunity to die!”

#kirk #spock #million dollar writing on a five cent budget #my trash #is this actually funny or am i just tired #heck yeah bromance #emotional support alien #/end classification tags #the episode was ''whom gods destroy'' in case anyone was wondering #also you wouldn't be able to guess from the detail level but this comic took me almost an hour #lots of drawing and erasing and redrawing and reerasing #i've still not drawn these characters enough to be able to doodle them quickly #also kirk looks like chekhov and spock looks like the spock from the new movies #maybe someday i'll figure it out but so far this is what we've got

Undertale Orange Routes

“Pacifist”

Where Leo unintentionally murders the first couple monsters he comes across. What he does is still technically a Pacifist Route, as he was unaware, and spared every other monster he came across once he got the “MERCY” option.

True Pacifist

After realising what he did, Leo RESETs with the help of chara. He spares everyone else and shows complete MERCY to everyone.

… But he also loses the one monster kid that liked to hang around him. They got killed in the crossfire between Leo and The Judge.

Vengeance Route

Same as True Pacifist and “Pacifist”, but instead when he’s capable of giving the Royal Judge mercy, he slaughters them for doing what they did.

Genocide Route

Also called the “Rage Route”

Slaughter everyone. Everyone. And then don’t escape, but free the SOULs and continue to stay around the Underground with Chara.

Aw Buddy Route

Gives Leo Platonic/familial-yandere vibes. He keeps the Monster Child safe, at the cost of everyone else’s life. This is the only route where the Monster Child doesn’t die.

Pal Route

Leo kills everyone except the Judge, and stays underground to torment them. Becomes sadistic and uncaring, only living to toy with Judge and make them just as crazy as he is.

I was stressed but now i'm more chill and really sleepy...

#overall my mood has been better but i am so incredibly terrified of the future... its like.... #like i feel as if someone has holding me at gun point and got told thst if i did any mistakes they would shoot #but then im not given clear instructions on what i need to do and i have to figure it out myself #i am really scared... even tho all of this gave me a new objective... i dont wanna be obsolete... #... so... that what we will work on... also... i wanna work towards my dreams... #I've been putting it off for so long i want to do it #people support me and actually enjoy my voice... i want to... #the things on my plate right now are things i can achieve... but i want more... i want things i actually want... #i want... #my house has a constant buzzing sound. i believe its because of the small power plant behind the lot. which makes it difficult for recording #since i have to get rid of that and that messes with the rest of the audio #its comforting to know it wasnt the mic tho... heh... #tomorrow lets try to take the first few steps... well more like lets try to continue with the set up #we have already a couple stuff but we still have a lot missing... #... today the girls said some stuff that impressed me... thats how im perceived?... is that what people think of me? #i kinda want to... fulfill those 'expectations'... they dont expect anything but its more of a me thing... ive been dreaming and hoping for #so long but i dont take the next step. i never do... and its because of the executive dysfunction... but... once i get the hang of it... #once i do... everything will be excellent... and we will take it easy #i am so tired already... i feel im gonan falla sleep #seari talks

Thought my physics lab was two days late and I had only three hours left to get it in at all, but it turns out that there was no lab this week at all.

Hallelujah 🙌

I fucked up absolutely everything else last week but at least I accidentally didn't fuck that up.

#gillianthecat goes back to school #my life with adhd #instead of doing hw cleaning my apartment or seeing people i want to see #i've been reading terrible romance novels that i've hated. decent romance novels i still kinda hated. watched lots of figure skating. #that i often enjoyed. decided to find every bolero skating program in existence to see which of any of them worked #(there's about five or six imo. feel free to ask more) #started to watch the entire pairs event from the 2022 olympics to figure out my feelings about pairs #uhh. slept and woke in strange overlong cycles. #got a migraine and slept for like two days #watched His (the series) and two thirds of His (the movie) which were my first bl in over a month. i think. #gave random people on reddit recommendations for kdramas and bls. #and #bookended it all with two live dance performances that were both transcendent #and which i would love to talk about on here if it didn't make it too easy to figure out what part of the world i live in

i am once again on your dash begging for your patience —

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #i've been lurking as some of you may have noticed by your notifications getting flooded — #but i realized i never made that update post i said i was going to #so here goes: #work has been killer. as usual. expect me to be more active on the weekends ( sun - mon. ) #and we're still fighting for three day weekends. if that happens i'll be A LOT more active. #as my sun and mon tend to be pretty well occupied with chores and gaming with the boys. another day will give me a lot more time to be here #but anyway that's not the main point of this post — #for the past few years or so i've been dealing with a few health issues #and it's just been getting worse since i didn't have affordable health insurance last year. #( i'll never understand how i was paying $300 a month for health insurance and still had $100 co-pays...smh ) #i do have good insurance this year though !! #and i've been able to pick back up on the endeavor to figure out what the fuck is wrong with me #and in doing so we have deduced that i have a heart condition. an av blockage that worsens when i exercise / lay down / and with stress. #which is probably the cause of my extreme fatigue and general fogginess. and of course the cause of my chest pain and heart palpitations. #i've got another appt with the cardiologist to figure out the course of action from here #but there have been talks of everything from medication to a pacemaker — so we'll see what happens... #and of course if anything as serious as that happens i'll let y'all know in case i just disintegrate into the ether for a while. #but that's not until next month — so until then we here #we vibin' and survivin' — #replies and things just may be mushy for a bit. or...well...even more so than usual. because i won't lie things have been getting worse #and i think it's the stress from work — BUT ANYWAY #i have not forgotten about that inbox call i promise #this shit just sorta popped off and i lost track of time. #i will say this: i will EVENTUALLY get to them. #i may answer drafts & asks in the meantime so it's not completely dead around here ( and i also don't wanna keep y'all waiting on those ) #but i won't be posting anymore memes or inbox / starter calls until that one's taken care of. #inbox is still open — if you'd like to send something to me from the memes i already have on my blog though ! that's never gonna change. #or just random things. #okay — anyway for real:

Another year of art! I think I'm finally starting to get lighting.

#ao no exorcist #blue exorcist #bonrin #my art #not nearly enough bonrin this years #gotta draw some more of them #and really start on full body poses #gotta figure out backgrounds too #and some consistency with hair #also #i posted 46 Ryuujis this year #I want to try and keep at one a week #so let's hope for a full 52 next year #i posted two december #because i didn't have another tall one #and the column was too short #xD #i've still got a lot to work on #but i'm proud of how i'm coming along

There's no moment of writing triumph quite like the moment when you've been struggling over a plot problem and you suddenly find the perfect solution that makes everything fall into place.

#adventures in writing #i've been riding this high since yesterday evening #i'd been wrestling with the 12 huntsmen opening #trying to figure out how to introduce the princess #i'd brainstormed a couple of limp and floppy ideas #bland talky scenes leading up to her coming on page and impressing everyone #and then a couple slightly more exciting ideas but ones that still felt like you were trying to force in a puzzle piece in the wrong puzzle #but then #i got an idea #that made me grin just imagining it #it's fun it's memorable and it's perfect foreshadowing #it's so perfect i'm almost afraid people are going to think this was the obvious idea and not understand the creative work this required #so i'm saying it right now: this scene was *not* obvious and required a lot of false turns before i came up with it #so please appreciate it
