Genuine question- Do any of ya like my Jack n Dave designs??
I've been seeing so many cool designs, I'm growing unhappy n insecure of mine
But...maybe I'm being too harsh on myself?
Or maybe my designs are just too bland?? Too..not interesting?? Ugg...brain is overthinking
I think I should mess with their haircuts more. And perhaps the head n body shapes more too
I'm terrified of overthinking so much I'll get burnout of drawing these weird colored fucks, cuz I'll be so focused on making the designs perfect, the joy may die...ugh!!
Thoughts are hard! I may delete this later?? I apologize for so many vent posts, I'm trying my best to survive my stupid silly brain!
I may try to look at y'alls designs into mind...study them and see what works n doesn't w what I'm going for...y'all are too talented its hard to keep up!!

ok LOVED ur blurb about trevor’s gf giving him head for the first time it’s doing something to me bless the anon that requested that 😵‍💫
can u write a similar one where it’s her first time giving head but maybe it’s just slightly softer, like she’s nervous and he literally talks her through what to do (“want me to teach you?” or something like that). he still has a dirty mouth tho hehe
OFC BABE, trevor is a sweetie at heart
─ warnings | NSFW! read at your own discretion!! soft trevor (for the most part), praise, slight dacryphilia???? but not really????? (big word for me lol HAHAH)
Tumblr media
your hands slowly gripped trevor's cock, your nervous expression not going unnoticed by your boyfriend. trevor's gaze never left you as you did, his heart swelling with affection for you.
"it's okay, baby. relax for me, can you do that?" his voice came out softer than usual but it helped calm your nerves as you gave him a smile.
you gave him a nod but his eyebrows raised, wanting a verbal response from you. "yeah,"
"yeah? good girl. now just take me, as slow as you want." trevor slowly explained as you did as you were told. your lips wrapped around the head of his cock, his tip feeling heavy on your tongue.
"fuck, baby." trevor's head fell back in pleasure as he let out a sigh. "so good for me, huh, princess?"
you tried to adjust to the feeling of his cock in your mouth, feeling your eyes sting with tears. but you weren't gonna lying, seeing him so fucked out already made you feel so powerful ─ you had him so down bad with a swipe of your tongue.
"fuck, baby. use your tongue, sweetheart." he moaned breathlessly as he tried to keep his gaze at you. you began licking up and down his shaft, feeling him in all his glory. "yeah, fuck. just like that, keep going."
his hand slid down to grip your hair before letting out a groan. "shit, can you take all of me now?"
it wasn't just an affirmation, it was a genuine question. he didn't want you to feel pressured to do anything, his gaze was adoring as he looked down at you.
you gave him a nod as you wrapped your mouth on his cock, slowly taking him in deeper. trevor let out a groan, a string of curses coming from his mouth as he felt the warmness of your mouth.
"yeah, just like that. fuck, baby you feel so fucking good." he rambled on as his head fell back in utter pleasure, his eyes shutting. his grip was still tight on your hair but you couldn't care less, making him feel so good made you feel good in return.
you bobbed your head up and down his cock, feeling his tip hit the back of your throat as you gagged. but you kept it up until you felt his grip tighten and then pull you off.
"please," you whimpered breathlessly. "i can swallow, promise."
trevor let out a cocky laugh as he heard your pathetic whines, his cock got harder at the thought. "shit, you sure?"
all he needed was a feeble nod and his cock was back in your throat, your head bobbing up and down subconsciously at this point. and as quickly as you got back inside of your mouth, he was cumming with a loud groan.
you tasted the salty taste of his cum and you moaned as you swallowed as much as you could. trevor wanted to pull out his phone and take a picture of you, you looked so fucking hot with your fucked out expression, spit on your cheeks and chin and especially the tears running down your face.
"fuck, baby. you were so good." trevor praised as he gripped your cheeks and pulled you in for a sloppy kiss. "so good for me, baby."

TWST BOYS AS YOUR BOYFRIEND
Just some headcanons on what I think they would be like as boyfriends ♡
Heartslabyul - Savanaclaw - Octavinelle - Scarabia - Pomefiore - Ignihyde (here!) - Diasomnia
Tumblr media
• how did you even manage to get him out of his room to approach you? nonetheless date—
• he rarely leaves his room
• but!!! he does genuinely like you, other than Ortho you’re the only person he’s genuinely comfortable with
• video game dates!!
• he’ll teach you how to play anything you want
• 1v1 games can get really competitive with him — he’ll try to go easy on you at first, but then his gamer mode kicks in and he can’t help it
• but he definitely prefers co-op games where you can work together
• sometimes Ortho joins you as well!!
• you guys also have dates where you binge anime and just hang out together
• eating junk food and just lounging about in his room
• he loves that you’re willing to listen to his rambles about the stuff he likes
• he’ll do the same for you btw
• anytime you mention something you’re interested in, he’ll do some research on it as well
• he will try to get you into some of his favorite idol groups though
• maybe at some point you can watch the concerts together? Or learn the dances?
• he would love that
• he gets super flustered extremely easily though
• and it’s obvious because his hair will turn pink and become more erratic
• he’s constantly making you laugh though
• which at first was unintentional, but now he does it cause he likes seeing you smile and hearing you laugh
• to him that shows he is, in fact, important to you
• sometimes his insecurities make him doubt that ):
• speaking of which, he does get jealous fairly easily because he believes there are so many better options out there than him
• when he’s jealous though he isolates himself from you, trying to distract himself
• he also thinks you wouldn’t want to associate with an otaku shut-in like himself ):
• please reassure him that he’s perfect for you
• he will be super flustered but he genuinely appreciates hearing it
• given that most of the time you hang out in his room, PDA isn’t much of a thing
• and even if you do go outside for a date, he will combust and die on the spot if you display any sort of affection publicly
• the attention will embarrass him and it’ll take a bit for him to reboot and be okay
• so it’s better to not do any PDA lest you have a broken Idia on your hands
• he’s okay with holding hands though, just know the tips of his hair will constantly be pink
• arguments aren’t super common, but when they happen it’s probably because of his shut-in, pessimistic attitude being too much
• Ortho will help you guys’ resolve the issues tho, especially because he hates seeing you guys fight
• if he hears someone talking bad about you or sees them bothering you on the cameras (don’t ask how he hacked the security system) he won’t physically confront them, but he will make sure their next few days are plagued with minor inconveniences
• Ortho will help him out with this
• or if they play online video games, rest assured he found their username and he is now beating them relentlessly in game and mocking them
• you’ll have to be the one to tell him you’re fine before he relents
• wearing his hoodie!!
• he’ll say it’s something that only normies do, but he absolutely adores seeing you in his hoodie
• he’ll also mumble about how he made extreme gains on the intimacy level
• anyways—
• if you’re upset, he doesn’t really know how to comfort you
• but he will let you come to his room and watch some anime to get your mind off it and Idia mumbles that you guys could maybe cuddle but only if you’re okay with that
• he’ll reassure you that you’re like an SSR character to him, and that you’ll always be his main, so there’s nothing to be upset about cause he’ll always be there for you
• being called his player 2
• Ortho loves you so much!!
• sees you as an older sibling now too
• loves that you’re helping his brother break out of his shell
• Idia is also extremely happy you two get along
• Idia doesn’t care about you meeting his family (other than Ortho) cause they aren’t very close
• over all, Idia is an amazing gamer boyfriend ♡
[[ BONUS!!! Ortho as your best friend ]]
Tumblr media
• because you’re dating his brother, Ortho immediately gets attached to you as well!
• he loves spending time with you and his brother — it makes him feel like you guys are a normal family
• if you’re ever sick, he’ll be scanning you to check your ailment, and then do a search on what the best solution would be
• if his brother can’t accompany you somewhere, Ortho gladly will
• loves hugging you
• the metal may be cold at first, but you get used to it
• plus the sweetness of the situation warms your heart anyways
• he’s just as protective of you as he is of his brother
• will annihilate someone for you
• makes sure you’re also taking care of yourself properly
• if not, you’ll get a “stern” it’s actually really cute and wholesome talking to about how you need to take better care of yourself
• if you’re ever upset, he’ll do everything he can to comfort you
• he’s always there for you whenever you need him
• Ortho would be the sweetest best friend ♡

heyyy do you have any advice on how to write smut cause its sooo difficult for me *cries in virgin*
ur like one of my fav smutty writers and idk if you have any tips 😭
first off thank u very much i appreciate that :)
this isnt the first time ive been asked for writing tips so im gonna give a lot of info. youre bound to find something useful in this mess
Tumblr media
im so sorry but one of my solutions to giving myself confidence in smut-writing was to literally fuck and fuck a lot
after losing my virginity it still wasnt enough experience tbh. so i gave myself room to explore my sexuality and was privileged enough to do it with a partner that encouraged that growth. that experience of fucking sure didnt hinder my smut-writing ability if you know what i mean ;0 but everything else about writing i learned from years of practice. ive been writing since i was in elementary school like id come home from fourth grade and read and write on quotev klsdjfsfj smut writing skills came later post puberty
when i tried writing smut as a virgin i genuinely couldn’t get past the build up. i was fantastic at writing the build up, it was the actual sex part that was hard bcos even tho i had done enough research (i read a lot of porn) it didn’t instill me with enough confidence that i could write it correctly, and so i never did. however! i sure wish i’d committed to it more, so let me see if i can write out some tips that would’ve helped me in the past
(this is just how i write smut, im by no means an expert)
my timeline
the way i write smut is pretty formulaic so i’ll break it down:
hook line ⟹ settings ⟹ build-up ⟹ foreplay ⟹ sex ⟹ ending
☥ hook line. maybe: a dialogue piece to kickstart; an ambiguous line that reels you in; an exciting action. i dont like starting my story with the name/pronouns of a character doing something boring. i.e. “you were getting ready for the day…” idk it’s not the worst thing in the world and we've all done it but just writing out what i try to avoid.
☥ build up is key to me. i have such a hard time reading and writing porn with no plot. i’ll do it sometimes if i like the writer enough, but i rarely write smut without the build up bcos i feel like that’s where the juice is. its whats fun and what you get to play around with bcos the actual sex part of the fic is pretty predictable.
focus on what’s said and unsaid in dialogue between characters. focus on the emotion each of them are feeling and how that emotion manifests into body language.
⟹ dirty talk is not for everyone, but god i love it. literally get nasty with it, this is your writing and we’re all just readin it. build anticipation using dirty talk, make filthy promises, make threats. make your characters talk about the nasty shit they wanna do to each other.
imagine someone you really wanna fuck, imagine the things youd do to them if you had the chance,,, write it into your characters.
☥ foreplay. goes hand in hand with dirty talk, its where the touching starts. decide how you want to play it. who gets oral, who gets fingered. both? one of them? neither and they just go straight to fucking?? i like foreplay, but if youre writing a “quickie” scenario then it may not be in the cards.
lets say it is in the cards tho. so some things to remember:
⟹ foreplay gets the dicks hard. when dicks get hard they leak pre-cum. balls have like no cushion and theyre soft and have little sacks in em that move around. the skin of this genital is often described as velvety bcos its soft. ive honestly never had sex with an uncircumcised penis so i have no idea if there’s a difference between how they feel.
foreplay makes the pussies loose and wet. the inside can be lumpy. it can be ridged or smooth. it can be all kinds of flesh colors like brown and pink.
without the foreplay (which can be verbal communication, or touching of the body or genitals) its a little painful for afabs bcos theyre too tight or too dry. and a flaccid dick is a little unpredictable to try to fit in.
⟹ afabs can have multiple orgasms, amabs are less lucky. afabs can cum and squirt multiple times, amabs can cum multiple times.
⟹ genitals get really sensitive after cumming though. so if you write someone finishing, write out how they might need some time before they finish again or start fucking, or that they get overstimulated getting touched still after they came and that sensitivity is a little uncomfortable.
⟹ the head of the penis is the most sensitive and that’s what makes it cum/orgasm. clits on pussies are the most sensitive and its what makes cum/orgasms happen. its very difficult if not impossible to achieve orgasm (if youve got a pussy) through penetration alone without clit stimulation
⟹ you can cum/squirt and not have an orgasm
☥ sex
⟹ changing positions can change angles and hit new pleasurable spots inside pussies.
⟹ probably write a couple different positions during the sex part, just to keep things fresh.
⟹ sprinkle in dirty talk to prolong the sex scene and to avoid sounding repetitive because if youre writing p in v it’s pretty standard to thrust over and over again until youre done. its a lot less glamorous when you spell it out like that, so you gotta add shit to make the sex scene more enjoyable to the reader whos not actively experience the sex.
☥ ending. i usually end the one shot after the fucking is done.
the smut tips
☥ think back to a time you were really turned on. from a show, from a book, something someone said to you, your own sex life, porn you really liked,,, take inspiration from it. use it and channel that own arousal within you.
if youve got a dirty fantasy and it gets you so hot and bothered thinking about it, write that.
if youve got a partner that fucks you crazy good and supplies you with inspo for dialogue or for settings or for scenarios, write that too. theres been a whole bunch on my blog that was inspired by my boyfriend. not everything, but enough to mention it.
also! another thing that people underestimate is the inspiration you take from other blogs. like mine for example, if you like my stuff take inspo from it. study my writing style and you’ll see all kinds of little tips in subtext id never be able to list for you. i do that with other blogs, i dont copy them but i definitely learn little things i like from them and incorporate it into my writing for a more cohesive story. if i take an idea though i ask for their permission & credit them.
☥ the most important tip i can give you is be as self indulgent as possible. youre wasting time worrying about other people. “will they like this? will people think im weird? what if they think im weird for writing this?” fuck that noise. warn accordingly, and go ham. your self indulgence is your best friend. it’ll guide you through all those dirty things you want to say or do to someone, let it take root and write what excites you. chances are you will find your people, and your fic will be set apart bcos it’s so specific to you that people will be drawn to that. and if theyre not? it ends up not being popular? it doesnt matter! because you had fun writing it right? fuck yea u did
☥ the types of words you use are so important. words that invoke a certain emotion or sexy feeling. its difficult to explain but i try my hardest to use “beautiful language” paired with dirty, disgusting, cacophonous language. marry them together so you can convey whether youre “love-making” or “fucking”. i dont like words that dont look or sound good in my head. like when you paint, you probably use colors you like looking at to create the entire picture on the canvas that’s beautiful. so pick out paints that are pleasing to the eyes. the bold ones and the soft ones.
examples of words i dont use cos i hate the way they sound and the way they look: “vagina” and “penis” LMAO
even “butt” isnt a word i like to use. i’ll almost always use “ass” or “backside”
⟹ the smut writer’s dictionary
☥ i keep comedy out of it for the most part, ive never really seem humor added positively into a smut that added to the experience. its usually physical humor stuff like the characters bumping heads or stubbing their toe or something its just cringy to me idk. if i add comedy (i am not good at writing comedy)i put it before the smut. and if you must have some sort of lightheartedness id keep it casual, light, and personal. like an inside joke or something tongue in cheek. you dont have to hide your deepest desires behind humor , you can be serious
☥ your pain tolerance is heightened so run with that. get spanked its fun
more important tips i love and stand by:
☥ call backs are important to me. it’s like if you have something in the future of your fic to be used, try to incorporate it in some small way in your establishing settings or build up. but it’s not as important to others as it is to me. an example would be in my one shot “talk huttese to me”, at the end anakin fucks reader on the tool table. at the very beginning of the fic, when i had reader taking in the surroundings of the “garage bay”, she scanned the drawer stack where she set his broth she brought him, and the tool table he’d later fuck her on. its kinda like,,, foreshadowing (i think?). you’re setting up your reader to be like “?? i wonder why the author thought it would be important to mention the tool table.. wonder if anakin fucks her on it later.” but even if your readers dont react that way, i still think it ties things together nicely
☥ try to write 15-20 mins uninterrupted. create a ritual. i use the bathroom, refill my water, grab a fun drink like sweet tea, put on a silent youtube video (like my ahsoka star wars lofi live i love so much), listen to a playlist of music (preferably music you havent heard before so it can fade into the background. maybe even cultivate a playlist for the vibe youre going for in your story, aids greatly in creating an atmosphere in your writing if youre translating the music in your ears), and turn your phones notifications off (ofc i leave on notifs for calls in case of emergencies, but i can answer my friends’ texts after my writing session). set a timer so you dont have to keep checking the time.
☥ don’t stop in the middle of your storytelling to check the thesaurus or dictionary. write out whatever word/phrase first came to mind and highlight it to come back to later to alter or replace it completely. you’re interrupted your creative flow and its difficult to come back to it when youre checking the thesaurus every five seconds. this hack was crucial to my ability to stay on task i promise you
☥ avoid sounding repetitive by using the same words close together. you’ll create a fuller story by adding to your vocabulary using the thesaurus.
☥ avoid listing actions, break them up with adverbs at the start of your sentences if you must, or description of things or the place your character is in, or explain the emotion your character is feeling or what that emotion is causing within your character. starting sentences over and over again with the character’s name or pronoun breaks up the flow for the reader.
☥ really try to finish your works in progress even if you think its bad, the challenge of it will help you practice and learn to overcome your own mind trying to hold you back
☥ if you dont like the direction your fic is going,,, and youre experiencing writer’s block:: cross out the most recent bit and take it in a new direction. “oh but indy!! i really have a certain goal in mind!!” great, find another way to get to it because youre blocking yourself from finishing this forcing yourself into a non entertaining corner. switch it up! challenge yourself. “but indy!! i really liked what i had for this scene!!” yea but youre blocked right? youre not writing anything else for this scene and you cant, right? if you like what you have for this scene (an action, a dialogue piece youre proud of, a plot twist) save it! use it for a different piece !
hope this helps you and others!

ur art iz soso cute and pretty!! do you have any tipz for when working with watercolor(or paint in general)?
Sure!
Dont bother buying expensive materials if youre just starting, cheap or intermediate stuff is more than enough to start off and decide if you really like it and want to continue. Plus some mro expensive materials are harder to use if you dont have practice. I would never recommend a natural hair brush for a begginer watercolorist Those videos about essentials skills to have, or most common mistakes made CAN help, dont let them limit how you experiment with watercolors though, there are no rules. Those are usually tips given to make it easier to do a technic the most common way. You're free to try different paths Aim for an in-between level of "too easy, i can do this" and "too hard thats not on my skill yet". You have to find a middle ground to do it because that's what help keep people interested. If you only paint the very easy watercolor tutorials you see, theres a chance you'll grow bored and tired of it as it has become "too easy". Doesnt have to be every time of course, but it helps alot to not grow bored. It'll take a while to get used to watercolors, even if you know of many technics, practicing them and knowing how they will turn out by experience is another story. Don't feel bad if something didnt go the way you expected, you can always try the oppossite next time and see how that goes.
Copy Master's works, this doesnt have to be just dead masters, living ones too! Copying is a genuine good way of studying. As long as you dont claim them to be yours and give them proper credit, it's not plagiarism. It doesn't hurt to ask though, specially if the artist you are going to be copying to learn is not a big name. In my experience though the artists i've asked if i could copy to study tehir work they had been flattered that i'd want to do that. Theres no need to ask for some big name tho just credit lol, like for example doing watercolor studies of studio ghibli's storyboards..... that's a good one btw! their storyboards are pretty and have GOOD colors but still are super simple! Usually just one layer of paint, minimal wet in wet shading or glazing.
Share Your Works, i know specially for begginers this one can be scary to do, but i promise you that the number of fellow begginers who will feel encouraged by you posting is a great number. And experienced artists who are GOOD people would never look down on a begginer. Rather than "man they cant draw lol" it'll be a sentiment of "i remember when my skills were a similar level! i hope this new artists has a fun time with art :D" Sharing your works and getting feedback and building a small community with other artists or even some fans is a massive encouragement ! [it's not everything of course but it's nice to be appreciated] Uh mind you, this step might take a long while. i've been posting art for nearly 10 years and it took me maybe 8 or so years of posting for something of mine to get more than 70 notes or so. [70 notes is already alot tho! wohhoo!

Ohio RTC live-blogging
I watched the Saturday stream, and I documented my thoughts because hyperfixation goes brrrr
HEADS UP
there was a lot of ableism in the chat (I do discuss what it entails below so you’ve been warned) so I was distracted at the end of the stream
-Karnak’s frantic tone during the accident + freeze frame moment, very cool
-them holding up the prizes
-Constance’s mumbled “sorry”
-post-possession Noel and Mischa stuff is so good (the o.e face and shoulder shake)
-I don’t like Ricky’s disability being stolen again, but I do like the fact that they’re happy that he’s happy, seems to be “bro”ing it up with Mischa a bit, I do love that
-JANE! (OVERANALYZES LIKE CRAZY) The way she tips her head a lot like it doesn’t fit her body comfortably. She sounds so timid…awww, honey…she moves a bit like her body is off-balance from the new head, I love the details
-I see evidence of platonic (at least) spacedolls already. Ricky waved at Jane!!!
-BREASTMILK CHEESE SANDWICH EATING BLEGH
-even in the “ocean’s life” segment Jane’s movements are just a BIT off. I think it’s cool when the Jane is taller in the cast, makes me think of a Barbie/pos
Poor gal seems real uncomfy in those lenses tho, can’t blame her
-all of the cast looks like they’re having the time of their life
-Mischa’s mannerisms are already cracking me up
-I am appreciating Noel very much in this production tbh, very sharp-tongued and excellent emoting in the face
-Jane’s delivery of That One Line (I hear it gives you an—)
-despite the small theatre and tech limits because of that, they really do well getting the point across with the props
-gosh props to Noel that change takes too long even in the main show, but he works it
-RICKY’S LIL SHIMMY IN THE BEGINNING OF NOEL’S LAMENT AND HE SEEMS TO ACTUALLY BE PLAYING ACCORDION!!!
-CAN ALL MISCHAS EVERYWHERE STOP BEING SO PRETTY, RESPECTFULLY!!
-THAT NOIR FILM IN THE BACK, I LOVE!
-ngl I’m in love with this Ricky
-these dances are so fun!
-not a ton of Nischa in here with the end of the lament but—
-Constance’s “w h y” after the F word joke
-B O N S O I R
-them adding improv in ESGAL is a bit silly, but oh, RuPaul ref. That blindsided me lol
-RICKY AND JANE ARE GROOVING TO MISCHA’S INTRO TOGETHER AWWWW THEYRE HAVING SO MUCH FUN!!!
-they seem to be sort of un-possessed in TSIA, and Mischa seems a bit more friendly in this production so I think that fits decently
-RICKY HAS A LOW RANGE HEYYYY (Debby Ryans)
-I love how they try to make it like he can’t remember his rap—or can he actually not remember? Either way they played it off like it was on purpose and I appreciate that
-interesting how Jane’s a stand-in for Talia, cuz she could be anyone, she’s a blank body sorta
-I love the dances so so much, how they seem to be fencing Mischa in, and HE SINGS SO WELL, they did their best with the projector and got it across
-The way he just SITS DOWN AWWWW HON HE LOOKS SO SAD
-NOEL AND MISCHA HUG? NOEL AND MISCHA HUG!!!! AWWWWW IM CRYIN they seem so genuine about that whole part! person I’ve tagged said they noticed Mischa is audibly crying for quite a bit, poor dear
-again, Mischa encourages Ricky, I appreciate this! They see the Ricky and Mischa friendship supremacy!!!
-Mischa and Jane acting like generally strange parents and tHE FAKE ACTION SCENES which I genuinely think should have been in the original
-the implication that zolar daydreams came from food poisoning, this poor lad, I know it’s not exclusive to this version but dang
-this Ricky is just very captivating, I think this is a part that takes a lot of…uhhh, chutzpah, to play
-(sees Jane being a very passionate kitty) … (adds to spacedolls evidence folder)
-hehe I love that Mischa is Count Dogula
-also that black hole sound frequency reference made me so happy (“68 octaves below the middle C”)
-this Mischa has ADHD imo and I live for it
-AW JANE HAS SUCH A TINY MEMORY BOX. …big enough for a head. Cruel.
-they really worked with what they had for the background on Jane’s song. The way she blends into the scenery fits. That’s what she’s been doing this whole show. Also her trying so hard to grab her memory box and it’s always out of reach ;A;
-HER VOICE IS EXCELLENT this is impressing me in a bigger way than I thought it would
-the shadows moving!!! the way she can kind of recall knowing them, but not enough to know their faces or names
-the circling with the lights does make me think she’s falling, and the fact that she’s holding an umbrella…and sounds like she’s crying at the end…she’s so alone dude, I care her
-that last note was like a final scream
-Noel and Jane interaction!!! something I never see!!! I love it!
-Ricky is so gentle with Jane ;-;
-THEYRE HAVING FUN!!! SO CUTE!!!
-(chat is ableist about someone either ticcing, stimming, or having a meltdown in the audience and distracts me)
-Sugarcloud was excellent sorry I was too busy being full of rage
-Piano go breaking noises
-“you will soar to great heights” o u c h
-THE GROUP HUG AND THE BACKWARDS ROLLERCOASTER SOUNDS
-AW CONSTANCE AND OCEAN AND RICKY AND NOEL SPINNING EACH OTHER
-MISCHA AND NOEL DANCING!
-THEYRE SO HAPPY
-ACAPELLA DREAM OF LIFE WITH GROUP HUG HITS REALLY DIFFERENTLY
Do I have criticism? Uhhh well it wasn’t perfect but hey, from what I saw they didn’t have a ton to work with (nobody’s fault there) and they used their resources well.
I also constantly have to remind myself of the fact that this show has a cast of at most eight people acting, and it makes sense that it’s difficult to remember all of your lines, and the fact that everybody has a solo song!!!
I dream of some day playing an alto Jane, although I doubt it will ever happen, but I’m not sure I’m talented enough to do with this cast attempted
Also frick the people in chat who were being jerks about that audience member. git gud, Ricky would hate you you’re breaking the one rule

Rain world is really good but the difficulty is defo one of my biggest gripes. Like, it sets out to be a hard game, and it is, but there are straight up some areas you may fall into that are so hard to get out of people suggest just restarting! Which feels weird and bad, to me at least. The wall jumping also drives me crazy, I feel like I can only sometimes get the rhythm right for it. I’ve found tho that if possible, putting a stick in the wall as a kind of ‘check point’ helps (you may already be doing that tho haha)
I am all for a game being designed to challenge the player in whatever ways because you can genuinely get some cool things out of it, and it's fine if that's considered the 'default' mode. But there's two caveats to that.
There's a difference between well-balanced and reasonable difficult and stuff that's hard either just for its own sake without thinking about whether it's enjoyable to play/overcome or hard because it's not designed as well as it could be. I'm by no means an expert on game design but having parts of the game where the common advice is just "yeah if you end up here just restart the game" that's not like. a glitch. Doesn't seem the greatest to me.
People have said this way more eloquently than me but even if the intended experience is for the game to be difficult, even extremely so, putting in features you can select that make the game literally as easy as possible should just be the default because that just means there are now more people who can or will play the game and it doesn't actually take anything away from people who want to play it with the highest difficulty.
Literally I think my game experience would be so much improved if there was just an option for more forgiving wall-jumps or even just a plain wall-climbing option. (I don't have that much platformer game experience overall but like. I've done all of Hollow Knight's platforming challenges except the White Palace and I'm almost done with chapter 7 of Celeste and iirc those are at least considered somewhat challenging as platformers. So I think I'm allowed a little bit of saying this is related to how this game's mechanic works). And if there were other options to make things easier I might take those too and that's fine! Because otherwise you have me sitting here contemplating whether I can keep playing a game I genuinely like because of it just being too much stress on me to be healthy probably! And y'know, maybe not fun enough to be worth it, I don't know yet.
It's like how about halfway through playing Subnautica I got too frustrated with being attacked and just put in the cheat code that let me not be attacked by the monsters. Even turned off oxygen a couple times when watching that made me too claustrophobic and it was great because then I just got to concentrate on playing the game and enjoying it; and it didn't feel like a lesser experience.
And yeah depending on how popular the game is overall and how many people might feel the same there may be a mod for this kind of stuff out there. But! As I said I have the switch version and I shouldn't have to buy the game again and play on a platform that doesn't work as well for me (or at all depending on how much it demands of a computer) just to get a version that's more accessible!
All that aside I do still think it's a neat game with some great design aspects to its gameplay. Wouldn't be talking about this so much if not or contemplating other options to experience it; I would've probably just dropped it.
(Oh yeah I definitely have been doing the spears-in-the-wall to facilitate climbing. All the time, including some spots where I made a ladder of several because searching for more spears was easier than doing the climbing. Super appreciate the tip though because if I hadn't that would've been SO useful to know)

rating the glee kids based on how easy it was to animate them
finn: 9/10
-1 bc i kept underestimating how long his part was and had to go back and add more frames at least once
all of the frames were pretty similar and tbh that was simultaneously a blessing and a curse
britt: 10/10
im a britt apologist, she can do no wrong to me, so she's the only one whose bopping around did not cost her any points
honestly the best person to get me started experimenting with smear frames here! i love her
-1 bc these aren't my best britt drawings (sorry babe)
+1 bc she somehow managed to look cute in her transitions from finn and to puck. i didn't think that was possible. who else is doing it like her <3
puck: 2/10
did not need to be moving that much. sir pls stop why were u whipping ur head around like that
also the mostly bald head keeps tripping me up but that's just a general puck thing
mike: 7/10
pretty quick, pretty easy! no complaints there he is vv cute and it's nice to draw him more
rachel: 1/10
i was feeling pretty neutral about her for a while but i'm back to hating her just bc of this
i can draw her from one angle only so everything else was a nightmare and i learned to draw her out of sheer spite
she was singing the "it's tough for you to get by" part so a. i had to sync her mouth to the words and b. it felt like a personal attack 😔 yes it was tough rachel thank u for rubbing it in
every time i thought i was done with her i had to go back and add more frames and i was seething about it
mercedes: 5/10
still not used to drawing her so genuinely who knows if the resemblance is there or not
very short segment for her tho so i suppose it could've been much worse? but i don't love what i did
sam: 8/10
so little screentime (literally 4 frames rip samuel)! quick and easy, i have to appreciate that
the hair transition from mercedes to sam was so fun actually
kurt: 9/10
literally the same :D expression the entire time! adorable <3
rory: 5/10
i have never drawn this man in my life and i may never do it again (not an insult)
santana: 9.5/10
the "go girl give us nothing" lack of movement in her shoulders is everything to me
thank u for making my life easier and looking flawless the entire time ily queen
-0.5 but only bc i got really sad the entire time i was drawing her and tbh that's not her fault in the slightest
also shoutout to her for getting The Best frame in this entire animation??
quinn: 4/10
listen usually i like drawing quinn but this was a struggle
miss ma'am did not need to be tipping her head up and down like that :(
honestly i did my best but ive definitely drawn much better quinns than these
artie: 3/10
by this point i was ready to commit murder this lil fucker would not stop moving and i wanted to cry
why. what was the point of all that. he was doing the most like his part wasn't already The Longest by a lot
every time i thought i might be getting close to the end i realised i was wrong. genuinely so emotionally devastating u don't understand
he earned himself points back tho bc i drew so many good arties and im proud of that. growth babey <3

I am the anon about the Lewis thing while I agree with some things you said I also disagree with certain things « I think these are people affiliated with his environment. They're everywhere, so it's hard to avoid them. » is not really true tho a lot of these people are not his environment the only common point they have with each other is being rich it’s more due to the fact that Lewis incorporated himself in others environment than F1. As I’ve said I respect him a lot and appreciate all the efforts he does concerning all these types of topics but where is the limit goes ? Is him talking about women inclusivity in f1 erase and excuse the fact that he was pretty much friends/close with people being accused and classified as sexual assaulters ? I don’t know the relationship that he has of now with these people but he did go in vacation with them at the start of the year in 2023 (so it’s not something that you do with acquaintances) while he was already making comment about « women rights » in motorsport If he genuinely is not in contact with these people then fair enough but it’s pretty much off putting. Because being friend with ex SA is a high level like SA is not a opinion it’s literally an act and a crime done against women. I appreciate what he is doing genuinely such a inclusivity for women and POC in f1 and for LGBT rights but it’s just that as I’ve said it’s such a pattern with him that it makes me a bit reticent ? Like of all the rich famous people he encounter he choses the worst ones (even if pretty much almost all rich people are bad in a way) to associate himself/ be friends with each times. He had a lot of prejudice in his career about his race and identity I don’t deny that so maybe he is trying to find himself in a way and to fit in with all those people ? But when you choose to be the role of « activist » obviously people critism towards you will be more harsh. That’s it 🫡
And we can please once again not bring any other driver in the discussion to not change the subejct and to not lose ourselves with all sorts of arguments/topic
So I agree wholeheartedly, but I think it's also important to remember that every behavior (no matter how horrible) can be explained, not justified. A very big nuance that may seem silly. For me, but that's just me, the fact that he speaks out as few do in this environment, shows what his real convictions are. I think it's important to remember that Lewis has learned, over the years, to be open-minded. And to shout it out in his very closed-minded milieu. That doesn't excuse the more than problematic friendships he seems to have. I don't think it delegitimizes his discourse on women either, he always has. Without being pushed by any particular movement, by his team or whatever. It's the day he'll stop all that that I'll sincerely ask myself some big questions, tell myself that in the end, yeah, these friendships were probably a reflection of who he could be and that the rest was a bit bullshit.
After all, as I've already said here, nobody's all black and white, but it's our actions and words over time that tip the balance more to one side or the other. Lewis remains a very ambivalent personality, very... inaccessible I'd say in his personality. After all, he's also a reflection of the tipping point between the two worlds of F1. He's tried as hard as he can to change things, but there's still a lot of work to be done before he's fully educated on certain subjects.

Hi! I’m the anon asking about how long the fixation lasts. I mean no harm! I’m sorry if you thought it was a mean ask.
I was just wondering because I’m onto the same fixations you have. I was into F1 (not the gossip part tho haha) and then I checked your Tumblr and now your an F1 fan too! I’m just excited really!
Altho my excitement for it has subsided a bit now and I’m back in a David Tennant hole/fixation bc of the new Doctor Who content.
That and HOTD and everything else. I seriously need to make a list- anyhow, I really hope you’re having a lovely day and don’t mind the haters! Those people are jealous x
Hi!! Sorry for my response it's just that at the time that you sent that in I was dealing with so much bullshit from anons and they weren't leaving me alone so when I read that I was a bit like could this be another one of those bc they want me to leave or are they genuinely asking, so that's why I didn't really respond how I would to someone being rude to me, but I also didn't give you a response to your question bc I really didn't know how to feel, but thank you for coming back to clarify and now that I know that it's with no ill intention I will totally answer, hopefully it makes sense.
So my interest for F1 came very suddenly and in a very weird way that I'm embarrassed to even admit how lmao 😂 and it's something that has been gaining my attention more and more for example now I'm trying to learn more about the actual engines and the details of the cars (so if anyone has any tips or places I can go check out for that let me know) so it's constantly catching my attention in a way, and that's how something needs to be to continue being my fixation bc I have ADHD, and I've heard that this is kinda related to that apparently Idk, but so far I don't see my interest going away and I really hope it doesn't bc I want to experience a full season you know, which considering it will take months it really depends on how I can keep myself entertained until then.
But then there's other stuff that I'm still obsessed over but I guess I can't really call it an fixation anymore, for example, my fixation that lasted the longest and even when it got toned down I was still so obsessed and in love and now it's coming back, is hotd since the show came out I never once stopped looking at stuff about it specially Rhaenyra like when I tell you I am obsessed with that woman.
But then there's other fixations that I still have a huge love for but (and it honestly breaks my heart to say it) I don't focus on it as much and I can't explain why bc I still absolutely love it and that's Marvel.
So basically how long will it last?? It depends on how much content I can find to keep me entertained lol
And thank you anon for that last little message I appreciate it, I hope you have a great day/night too

Hello, as a response to your last post, I'd like to see your work in progress stuff, love to see how you go about your colouring cause it's such a treat to look at.
A lot of the stuff you post is hyper polished and seeing some of the roughs would be nice.
And on what might help gain a firmer platform, I'd say that it seems that posts that include both text and images are the ones that tend to get the most traction. E.g. comics, art tutorials, character design/world building concepts with annotations. Stuff that the viewer can engage in and add their thoughts on it.
Also it seems that stuff that caters to mobile users gets more attention, so bigger, less dense text.
(I'm basing these observations from my time running an ask blog back in the day so I might be biased towards comics)
Of course this all relies on whether you would enjoy doing stuff like that? I recommend if you would try doing something like that to do something small to see if you would like it, like maybe annotating the roughs of one of your illustrations to explain what choices you made while drawing it.
Of course take all of these words with a heaping of salt, I'm very much not an expert by any means. I just hope I could be of some help.
Toodles!
Thanks a lot for your feedback~ These are genuinely really helpful tips! TBH I struggle to understand why would WIP's and drafts have broad appeal, but I may just be a little insecure over how my workflow currently is, so I keep it to my Patreon (that only has 2 ppl rn :D, which is still incredibly cool and I appreciate them greatly). I did some of this stuff before, but the engagement was pretty unstable. I am planning on a big worldbuilding rant but it requires a lot of prep and I don't know when I'll gather enough energy to see it through. I should have more faith Anyway hearing this again from (presumably?) a different person is reassuring and motivating? I'll think what I can do about it! Tutorials tho... it's this thing when if you're good at something doesn't mean you're good at explaining it to other ppl. I wouldn't mind answering specific questions tho! But it does mean someone else is ought to initiate it? Unless I ask for questions ahahah (doesn't hurt to try I suppose!) Overall, once again, thanks for stopping by and adding in some advice, these did give some food for thoughts and new things to consider!

Can you please give me a tip on how to be positive I’m struggling I want to be happy but I’m so hard on myself
tbh im not a very positive person in general but im very realistic like if u ask me if the glass is half full or half empty i will always genuinely see the glass as in the middle aka both (i know very typically swedish of me. ”lagom” and all that) but i do think thats a healthy outlook and attitude to have bc its balanced. i do have a very solid foundation of self esteem tho and thats what makes me so self assured and confident and im not even sure how to give advice on how to achieve that bc its just something that i developed pretty early like ive heard most ppl reach that when they are in their 30s-40s but i started slowly getting to that point already in my late teens and it just sort of happened.
i guess my tip would be to just sort of look at urself from another persons perspective like srsly take a moment and look at urself from the outside of urself. just imagine ur one of ur friends or anyone who u know loves u, what do they see in u? like ur this person, and these ppl love this person, look at this person from their point of view and with their love and admiration and appreciation. now think of this person (aka you) as a friend. like look in the mirror. the person ur looking at in the mirror rn is ur friend, shes someone u love, someone u care about. how would u talk to her, this friend ur looking at rn? if she was putting herself down right now, feeling shitty about herself, what would u as someone who loves and admires her tell her? u would be like girl no ur amazing shut up right? ok so that person in the mirror is u like ur literally just looking at urself. surprise u are ur own best friend. how u would u treat ur best friend that u love and cherish? with patience and empathy and affection? yeah keep that same energy when ur talking to urself. u know what actually fall in love with urself next. do this little mental exercise or whatever u call it again and this time the bitch in the mirror is ur lover and ur gonna just admire how beautiful she is and how much u desire her. next u can look at urself as if u were a painting or some great artwork and admire the little details u see as if u were an artist admiring art. thats pretty much it.

yeah, that's anhedonia. surprisingly not many know what it's called; it's often associated with depression but happens with stress and anxiety too i'd say take a break instead of trying to push through it, try distance yourself from whatever's stressing you out and let your brain recover, it's usually temporary. serotonin tips like doing small cleaning and stretching routines sound condescending but they work sorry you can ignore this if it comes off rude kajdhf
It’s not rude at all I just genuinely don’t remember what I posted that has to do with this, im assuming a vent from awhile ago or something
Thank you for caring tho! I appreciate it a lot, and I am doing a lot better nowadays :) life has been good to me recently

as someone who doesnt emote ive learned to be less concerned with showing my emotions (im not interested in changing whats natural for me) and to start stating them instead. you dont need to have a "show dont tell" approach to your real life mannerisms. if youre joking about something you can follow it up with "im joking BTW" and it doesnt take any of the comedic effect away. in fact it might make it funnier because of the shock value of briefly thinking you were serious. i also find that following it up with a casual phrase helps it register as 'not as serious', like how some people will add a "y'know" to the end of their sentence even tho it doesnt really need it (but it depends on your speech patterns). if youre serious about something you can start it with "but seriously, [...]", among other things like that. even trying to remove filler words such as "like" will make it sound more genuinely serious. a beat of silence after you speak (an indicator that theyre trying to figure out how you meant what you said) is a good time to clarify. online you can just put (joking) or (serious) at the end of your sentence. these clarifications dont remove the depth/hilarity behind your words even though it might seem like it. generally the tone of the conversation should make it obvious whether youre joking or not regardless of how you say it, and if your friends still miss it then its no ones fault cus you are all different people. IDK if you wanted like actual advice but i hope it helps a little lmao ...
NO NO I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS ADVICE IM WRITING JT DOWN AND ILL DEFINITELY USE THIS TO CLARIFY MY TONE tysm i think my friends will also appreciate the clarifiers because despite them knowing me well enough to know when im not being serious while sayong something seriously there are just times where theres confusion :] thank you tho these tips are very good
