Basically, my philosophy around disability fakers is: I would rather a thousand people fake a disability than have one disabled person suffer without care, aids, compassion, or any help.
I actually really love having a bunch of WIPs on the go. I love being able to pick and choose which one I feel like working on at the moment. I love being able to flip back and forth between a half dozen different stories just writing a scene or two on one before moving on to do the same thing on the next. I love the comfort of that story that's not quite fully gelled in my brain yet but it's there waiting for me to continue it once I've figured out where it's going. I love being able to choose which vibe is flowing right now. I love having some stories near the start and some near the end and a whole bunch at the midpoint.
Just wanna put Alastor (Hazbin Hotel) and Luffy (One Piece) in a jar and shake them. Just imaging these two chaotic aro ace in the same room brings me so much joy.
I feel like they would viscerally hate each other if they ever had to meet ahah :'D I drew them reacting to their flag instead! I haven't drawn Luffy in a hot minute damn I missed my boi
Now that I think about it, it's funny how similar yet completely different they are. Luffy's whole deal is about smiling, laughing and make people around him happy, while Alastor's whole deal is also about smiling, but he uses it for control, to hide his true emotions and make people around him uncomfortable/second guessing him all the the time.
Luffy is aroace, but still full of love for everyone, he cares so much and shows so much affection, while Alastor is aroace and mostly touch averse, takes a long time to get attached to people and shows very little affection (or maybe has his own definition of affection idk)
And they both have a weird moral code and hate people in power who uses it to exploit the weak?? Not to the same extend ofc but still, that's an interesting trait they share .
The Meeting on the Turret Stairs but Make It Shadowgast
After more than a year, this painting is done! This is one of my favorite paintings, and it was wonderful to reimagine it to suit one of my favorite pairings. :D This is by far the most I have ever worked on a painting, and I learned so much while making it. Please enjoy all the details I crammed in there to find.
Some close-ups under the cut!
And where it started, the original painting and the sketch:
“keith is a top” “no keith is a bottom” KEITH STAYS A FUCKING VIRGIN UNTIL HE IS LIKE 25 THAT MAN IS NOT A HOE STOP TWISTING THE NARRATIVE HE IS NOT BEING INTIMATE WITH ANYONEEEEEEEEE
none of these are set in-stone and i didn't draw most of my designs with weapons but here's what their weapons are in my head! (debatable/up for change)
WHAT A MONTH. and here we are, at the end of it. somehow. obligatory "congrats for surviving february" to you all. it was certainly hectic for me, but I crawl on. we all crawl on.
also, yes, my cat decided to use my tablet as a sleeping pad every single time I sat down so we were dealing with some obstacles along the way. you know how it is with cats. (she was rewarded handsomely for allowing me to use her sleeping pad to draw, don't worry.)
BUT in any case, please check out all the amazing entries this month that people have contributed to the tag: minifemslashfeb2024! I'm so happy to see so many people participating this year, definitely go take a look, there's so much epic sapphic content, we LOVE to see it!! other femslashfeb events ran this year too, so go feast. go on. lots out there to discover. wonderful world.
as always, stay awesome, stay loving, thanks for keeping me company once again.
one of the reasons taylor’s music connects with so many people is because she has a unique ability to convey a spectrum of emotions solely through her voice that many other artists lack. it’s why covers of her songs don’t hit the same
