jade who got heartstruck by someone who listens, and trey who generally takes interest on really listening to what people have to say, about things he doesn't know yet

#referring to outdoor wear trey's lines who said--#People get to research whatever they want in the Science Club which means I get to hear about all sorts of fascinating stuff #Rook lectured me on proper hiking technique before we left. His tips have been pretty helpful—I haven't taken a spill yet #he listens #twisted wonderland #twst #treyjade #trey clover #jade leech #cater diamond #floyd leech #and also i just watched jade's outdoor wear vignette who mentored cater who wanted to run away already fshdshd #trey might do things minimally #but he seems to be packful of information about handling any possible situation or encounter against random things #that he obviously ; doesn't show #unless for desperate measure

First drafts are SUPPOSED to suck

IMPORTANT Reminder that it’s totally okay to hate that first draft with a passion.

The first draft is for making it exist. That’s all. You can edit the shit out of it later, and you’ll need to if you ever want to do your story justice, but not on the first dang draft.

STOP letting that voice inside win and make you feel bad about your writing! It’s the first draft.

Fix it later.

Try to just have fun. Make it exist and make it as ugly as it comes out. Just make sure there’s something to edit later. You can’t edit a blank page, remember.

Something I once read:

Think process, not product.

Hi! Love the excerpts of your work that you've shared here. Do you have any advice for someone just starting to dip their toes into writing? Fanfic, or just generally? Thanks! :)

First of all thank you for reading and I'm so, so happy you liked my snippets :D

Second of all: Ummm giant disclaimer that I have almost nothing actually published to my name, so altogether I also consider myself a new writer. But I love to rant about writing anyway so here goes:

Don't listen too much to writing advice. When I first tried writing, I would spend way too much time on writing advice blogs. Many of them aren't that good, to be quite honest. And even for the good ones, there is such a thing as right advice given at the wrong time, or at the wrong place in your writing journey. If you're an overthinker, reading too much advice can make you start worrying about small things, and/or not have the confidence to try something wild but important on your own. Frankly, all it really comes down to is: 1) Having a vision, 2) Writing the vision down, 3) Noticing the ways your writing falls short of the vision, and 4) Tweaking things until they reach the level of imperfection you can personally live with. For me, writing advice is best searched for to apply to the specific issues I have in Steps 3 and 4. I apply any advice only in so far as it helps me get closer to the vision in my head. putting the rest under a cut because it got long - sorry!

2. Be uncompromising about writing things that bring you joy.

Kind of similar to #1, but it's doubly important when you're really just starting out. Or when you've been writing a while but always find it hard to begin. Double that importance again when what you're writing is fanfiction, because then you really have no genre definitions or deadlines or publishers or any other actual reason to compromise your vision. You already have some amazing ideas, and for each idea there is probably a feeling or a vibe or a message that you want to capture. Give yourself time to get lost in that feeling, to really indulge in it. And then write it down in its full glory, even the parts that might make you cringe a little from how dramatic or vulnerable they are. If there is a way to make your story more indulgent, do it. Because it will keep you writing. And if you really think it's too much, you can always edit stuff out before publication. You know, after you've actually written the story down. The thing that made me start writing in the first place was a giant longfic/possibly trilogy Canon Divergence rarepair plot idea that is still not finished, and on paper that's pretty much the last thing one should start their writing journey with. But if I stopped myself from writing that in favour of forcing out some oneshots, I never would've written anything at all. Give yourself permission to write exactly and only the ideas that make you excited to write.

3. Bonus advice that might or might not be useful to you, but it was ground-breaking in helping me write the way I want to write - in this excellent post, @little-hermit-crab56 makes a point that dialogue is a dance. I'd take it further/in a slightly different direction and say that storytelling as a whole is a dance. Juts like a dance, dialogue feels most dynamic when you allow it to go back and forth a little, to have short breaks and pauses here and there. I think the same can apply to an action sequence, or a bit of internal monologue, or an emotional trajectory of a whole scene. Just like a dance, it's less about the exact movements (e.g. describing precisely what happens in an action scene) and more about the rhythm of the back and forth (e.g. describing just enough to let the reader know that the protagonist is winning, but then - oh no! - the villain has the upper hand, but then the protagonist gets lucky and they're winning again). I swear that with enough skill to set up the right back-and-forth, even a character tying their shoelaces for a page and a half will feel dynamic. You can alter that rhythm, make it faster or slower, more dominated by "ups" or "downs", but even a little contrast can elevate a plot beat or an emotion more than I had initially thought possible. Of course, there is no need to simplify the "ups" to being good and "downs" to being bad - the back and the forth can both be morally grey or both similarly convenient/inconvenient to the protagonist. They just need to be meaningfully different. You can zoom this out even more and apply the back-and-forth to character arcs, or dynamics between characters, or entire plots. (The three act plot structure is, IMO, simply a choreography for a satisfying back-and-forth). In a longer work, you can have many "dancers" doing their own back-and-forth simultaneously, at multiple levels of the story structure. In a oneshot, you can have one or several backs-and-forths distilled to the most dramatic steps of the dance. In my experience, the whole thing gets quite addictive once you start seeing it.

#ah the irony of writing advice that advises you to disregard writing advice #ah the way how every time a writer gives this advice they must make a joke about how ironic it is #ah the way that writers make fun of other writers through the ever-escalating layers of excessively self-aware irony #i'll shut up now #I'm so sorry this ask got so long and lecture-like #hope some of it is helpful #asks #writing #writeblr #writing tips #writing advice #fanfiction

not to bring up the taylor discourse again but I think it's an extremely shitty take for non-fans to respond to fans saying "yeah I'm disappointed and do not condone this and it sucks" by being like "well ACTUALLY she's always been a horrible bitch and her fans are all just too ignorant to see it and it's their own faults for being a fan of someone so awful" like ok congratulations! good for you for never having enjoyed a single problematic thing in your life! but you're annoying and I hate you

#this was the topic of many a typed and deleted post already #but i have just been tipped over the edge by someone going on a rant in the tags of one of my posts #in a weirdly overdramatic way like 'she was always dating teenage boys and weaponising the funerals they were at' ???#but the worst part is they are a LARRY BLOG #and i will NOT be lectured on how to be a fan by someone shipping harry styles and louis tomlinson in the year of our lord 2023 #anyway i just think that if you think something is bad and someone else says 'yeah i'm figuring things out but idk maybe it's not that good'#don't be annoying and use it as some gotcha moment #talking #ts discourse

you listen to me now boy. fuck midterms. fuck finals. what you do is grind out homework assignments and mini quizzes and projects and you get those minty fresh and you show up to class as often as possible and take notes even if you can't bring yourself to look at them later it'll help you to remember shit more if you write it down. unless you're in a Weirdo Class that only has a midterm and a final or if that shit's like 80% of your grade or whatever you can almost certainly be sure you can pass with a low grade and still have a b in the class these websites (2 of them) are your best friend when it comes to trying to figure how hard you have to study for finals and chances are you've been tryharding finals that you only needed like a 61% on

#college #finals #collegeposting from someone who has been through the college ringer (BS in CS and a math minor) and Completely Gave Up at the end-#because of funny :b:ovid but trust me on this one i never had a class final score that went below a b (80%)#there's no shame in flunking the shit out of your finals if your grade is high enough going into them i did that shit all the time-#junior and senior year. of course exceptions may apply etc etc use your better judgement etc etc con the game but do it with caution #purple philosophies #and for those who want cramming tips: when i needed to cram i just literally either a. binged all recorded lecture videos or-#b. re-read through the textbook and took notes. yes even if you took notes on them during actual lecture. the idea is to write them down-#because (for me anyway) the physical act of writing notes helped me remember the content of said notes #train and fight warrior male remember that your most powerful ally for finals is a good night of sleep ilu all good luck

Sorry if u been asked this before but what brushes do u use? And what app 😭🔥 also ur art is DIVINE 🙏🙏

Oh my gosh thank you, you're so sweet! I can answer all of that in a convoluted little tutorial I shall give now without anyone asking~

I use Autodesk Sketchbook for Windows, as it is free and versatile enough for a digital art babychild like me to adapt. Here's a basic run-through of my work process:

Sketching:

As a self-employed rule, lineart is fucking dead to me and I'll never use it because it'll always show off my shaky hand and blase drawing style as less of a quirk and more of a deficiency. Sketching however is my best friend in the whole world and I'll usually use a thin rough pencil brush (see above) to keep a traditional look about it. I'm oldschool what can I say.

Colouring:

Although for the example work I actually dove right into building tones without adhering to my usual system, I always use the stock paintbrush to fill in the form. Call me a troglodyte because I certainly am one, but hey it gets the job done, and I can always have fun later with the groovier brushes.

Now this is my favourite part, making the form look less like an unevolved slime worm was here, by utilizing the super ultra groovy brushes, like my favourite two shown here (and usually the only two I'll bother with). The Synthetic flat bristle brush I use as a substitute for the blending tool (another one I heavily depend on in the stock brush phase), because it makes the work look less manufactured and more real, like a real life human did it. Typically, I use it for hair and clothes, but sometimes skin too, when I want it looking raw.

And the rake brush! Not a single work of mine will be without it, I'm fully obsessed, and I'll use it wherever I can get away with. It looks fantastic with hair and using it as a soft highlight.

Editing:

Actually I lied, THIS is my favourite phase. Editing baby!

Although a brush isn't involved in this stage I'll mention it anyway to shout out Photopea, which is a free online photoshop substitute with nearly all of the same features, without that hefty pricetag. I use it to enhance or muck around with colours and tones, or sometimes just for ideas. It's goddamn brilliant and I couldn't recommend it enough.

Finalising:

After playing around with values and tones, I can go back to sketchbook and finalise my work, adding anything it needs before I put my pen down and say enough. Sometimes the process is helpful because I can take a break, look back, and see elements I need to fix and improve that I didn't see before, and huzzah! She's complete!

Anywho I hope you found my drabble helpful, and someone please help me find the torrent to procreate for windows because goddamn I wanna try it so fucking bad. But not enough to let the fly out of my wallet, it's currently the only thing in it XD.

#thanks for the ask man I'm sorry that i babbled on so much i just cant help myself #asks #art tips #art tutorial #goddamn lecture more like #digital artist #digital art #autodesksketchbook #photopea
