Liam saying that Caleb wasn't in a good place before and was holding everyone at a distance and wasn't ready for a relationship--"but if he had 50 more episodes with Molly..." and Taliesin saying Molly would've taken him drinking and tried to get him to make friends and just live in the moment to take his mind off everything...I'm fine, I'm fine--

"two purple partners and Caleb?" "Why stop there?" asjsakdsjg anyway,, if Liam is still interested in a bisexual maelstrom......King definitely still has a thing for Caleb--

#aHHH #hmm many thoughts #i love that liam was genuinely open to the idea of that potential if they had the time to explore more of their dynamic-- #TALIESIN SAYING 'MOLLY'S A SLUT' ASJSDKFGDLD-- #anyway i will absolutely think of molly who couldve had any number of lovers before and yet!! it was only lestera and caleb that #he still had feelings for as king ;; #molly maybe spending the night with caleb just because he hates watching the man destroy himself and just wants to make him feel #good and loved for once #and then realizing he's getting very attached again and it is definitely more than just a bit of fun--

Am I hearing a Hunger Games AU Pocket? Or are you curious about the game mechanics?👀

No au, hunger games is something I wouldn't write an au story with unless I actually had something to say I think, but I was curious about the mechanics in fics that just do one fishbowl

#maybe an au to toy around with but not a fic to write #my favorite answer on the poll so far btw was 'double drawn tribute goes alone but gets a gun' #mcfanely #pocket talks to people #hmm many thoughts

on one hand its so disappointing when I go back to a fanfic i loved after ive moved out of the fandom only to discover it wasn't actually well-written, i just was blinded by my love of the subject

on the other hand does it really matter? they wrote it to express and share their love of the work and had fun doing so, and i had fun reading it. it's wonderful when fanfic is well-written, but it doesn't have to be. as long as it brought a little joy or relief or comfort or whatever to someone somewhere it's fulfilled it's purpose

enjoyment and quality are two separate, but related, axis and fanfic has an interesting relationship with both

#hmm many thoughts #idk how to tag this #fanfic #had this thiught while reading a fic- seeing that it wasn't well written- and choosing to keep reading and enjoying it anyway #would be interesting to do a study on this #but finding a reliable and quantifiable way to judge the quality of a work seems practically impossible #hmm i should make a list of all the topics i wanna research some day #but first essay time oop

i realised that you kind of have to be careful what you say to zevran after killing taliesan. i don't know if it's a bug or what but it took me a few tries to get the adore status changing into love 🤔

#i chose the 'if you want to go you should. i want you to do what is best for you' and he didn't offer the earring to ashara #which was interesting i guess #i had to go for the 'i want you to stay with me' for it to work #hmm many thoughts #🎮 vilna plays games

I was wanting to try doing an art piece in the style of the signature spell poster art pieces you create. But I’m not really the best at coming up with a composition for such a thing.

Do you have a process for how you come up with the compositions for them?

oh, awesome! it is an INCREDIBLY enjoyable style to work in; I hope you have fun with it! :D

I'm not great at putting my thought/art process into words, so my apologies if this doesn't make a lot of sense, but I'll try! my first step is always to do a LOT of thumbnails to figure out both the idea and how I want to show it; not trying to do a real sketch or anything, just little doodles to figure out what exactly I'm trying to portray. (I also call these "garbage passes" because they're not meant to be any good, they're just there to throw things out. aha. ha. ...anyway.) I think it's important during that first stage to really focus on the idea and the layout and not to get too bogged down in the actual drawing yet!

I tend to save my final thumbnails, so I'll use 'em as examples (I posted the ones up through episode 5 here if you're interested!) (and, uhhh, spoilers through episode 5 also in this post, hopefully that won't be an issue!)

the main thing I try to think about in composition is balance -- not necessarily in terms of symmetry, but in where each element is placed and how much space it's taking up. remember, empty space is still space! it's also really important to think about the parts that don't have anything in them, as much as the parts that do!

personally, I like to divide things up roughly by both halves and by thirds -- there's a lot more in-depth info out there on why the "rule of thirds" in particular works well visually, but in short, our brains tend to focus on things that are placed closer to imaginary division lines, instead of in the exact center of an image. so even when I'm doing something that is very centered and symmetrical, I try to keep that in mind and generally aim around those for landmarks like faces/eyes (or...where they would be, anyway) and other focal points.

it's not a formula of "the character's face should be in this division of this grid" or anything, more like "our minds like to focus on these areas, let's think about how to use that", if that makes sense! and of course rules are made to be broken, art is lawless anarchy, and so on. but it can be a good starting place for deciding where you want to put things!

(blue - thirds, red - half)

and against the finished versions, because they do usually end up changing a lot (including the empty space of the border):

(...these actually lined up a lot better than I thought they would. :') it makes me look like I do things way more intentionally than I do.)

other stuff I just try to keep in mind is that our eyes like following arcs and paths, which can be a good way to guide the eye:

and frame and control the focus:

honestly, composition is one of those things I feel like I struggle with a lot, so I'm not sure how much of this is helpful or actually makes sense outside of my head. but hopefully it helps a little! it's all just stuff to think about while drawing and not anything hard-and-fast, so don't, like, stress out about making sure things are lining up exactly on the thirds or anything. again, it's more "our brains think these are the dopest parts of the rectangle" than anything else! take advantage of the cool parts of the rectangle!

NOW GO HAVE FUN DRAWING seriously though, it is always super cool that other people like this idea and style enough to want to do it themselves and for other/their own characters! thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

NOT an accident at all! #my eyes darting back and forth shiftily are just ✨following the paths✨

I liked it when I was like 13 and I was rewatching it for hahas when I couldn’t sleep #but im so scared guys that im going to get INTO it #like yesterday I felt the urge to draw fanart for it and I had to quickly slam my head on the desk until that idea went away #okay yeah this is a good amount of oversharing in the tags #I feel good

It's alright to scream

I'm screaming too

Why'd you think I do the things I do?

For shadows haunted me like ghosts

So I became what I feared the most

I conduct fear like electricity

Insecure jealous scara keeps on infecting my brain -🐛

before-healing scara is actually a nightmare of a partner because of his trust issues and, by extension, his intense jealousy. and not the cute kind, but like.. genuinely atrocious behavior like silent treatment, phone checking, cheating accusations, etc. like oh my god. horrific. healing scara is able to identify those unhealthy thought patterns, be like “woah, i’m fucking crazy,” and move on without making it your problem. but now his jealousy is more external to the relationship than internal and therefore very cutesy. like, if someone gets a little too flirty with you at a party, giving u heart eyes and shit.. he’ll pull you off to the side and make you give him your jacket and keep your arm around him the rest of the night. his beef with random girls and guys is insane, not because he doesn’t trust you, but because he doesn’t trust THEM. he’d make those stupid tweets and tiktoks that are like “having a pretty partner is so fucking hard everyone wants them” as if he isn’t crafted by a god himself lol. when he starts feeling a bit icky (worried you’ll wake up and realize you want someone better, etc.), he’ll suck it up and go straight to you for old fashioned reassurance in the form of proper emotional vulnerability. trading “i love you”’s till his body is body’s warm and fuzzy like he’s drunk.. letting you list off every reason you love him, whispering by his ear with your arms wrapped around his waist as he turns pinker and pinker and pinker.. flicking your forehead and keeping his face down because he’s too embarrassed to look you in the eye. nothing tooo worry about silly scara

#thought #zushi 🐛 #more jealous scara behavior .. hmm #loudly talking about his ROMANTIC PARTNER #and how HAPPY HE IS WITH YOU #around someone he suspects has eyes for u #getting matching couples things but gaslighting you into thinking it was your idea #(keychains outfits etc etc.) #its his way of being like ‘look i marked this its mine’ #<<and u know it.. he is a biter a scratcher a sucker in bed #like literally u have to sit him down and look him in the eye and be like #people r gonna think im getting mauled #i can only wear so many turtlenecks in the springtime before someone becomes suspicious #etc etc #scaramouche x reader

jaykyle au where they're theatre kids in the same school but they're not the actors jason's the scriptwriter/director and kyle is the prop manager (i don't know the official terms sorry) and they'd probably do an amazing job on the backstage setting if they could stop arguing for 5 whole seconds about their artistic visions and ideas and how "this would obviously work better this way"

The cloud maiden and the river god.

It’s an old story, worn soft round the edges from generations’ worth of retellings. A cautionary tale for those daring to reach for greater things beyond their station. A story to teach young children not to be greedy. A warning.
