For the ten ships and one character

Stan

Stan/Tolkien

Stan/Kyle

Stan/Wendy|Wendyl

Stan/Tweek

Stan/Cartman

Stan/Kenny

Stan/Michael

Stan/Peter

Stan/Clyde

Stan/Bebe

I am so sorry for responding to this so late, I've been so busy lately but as always, I really appreciate the ask! You seem to know me very well, I love Stan so much, let's ship him with everyone! 😂

Stan/Tweek - Just like Steek is my favorite Tweek ship, it's also my favorite Stan ship. You knew what you were doing by putting Tweek on the list 😏 I love Steek so much, I could talk about them for hours but I'm not going to right now because I don't have the time and I wouldn't really be saying anything that I haven't already said. I just think they'd work well together. Since I got Stan for Tweek in a different ask, I'll post the link to that ask in case you want to read my response but I don't really have anything new to say about them. But this ship is my OTP!

Tweek Ask

Stan/Kenny - I love Stenny! I don’t really know why. I think I just like the idea of Stan and Kenny bonding together while Cartman and Kyle are fighting. They get the cutest art but I don’t see many fan fictions for them. I saw one multi chapter one but the characterization was just really bad (in my opinion of course) so I’ve never really gotten the pleasure of reading a Stenny fic! If anyone has any recommendations then I’d love to hear them, Stenny is my jam!

Stan/Tolkien- I love Stolkien! Again, I don't really know why but I think they could just work together. They're really cute and funny when they're with each other in the show and they get really good fanart. I've never really seen a Stolkien fic that's appealed to me before but anyone has any recommendations then I'd be open to reading them.

Stan/Wendy/Wendyl - The only reason I probably like Stendy is because it's canon. I know that's probably not the best reason to like them but I just can't not like them even though they suck together. Stan x Wendyl is really interesting though, especially since I think Stan is gay. I saw some post on here where it was like "Stan is gay except for Wendy and Kyle is straight except for Stan." Yeah, that person is right. But Stendy gets cute content and I feel like they could work if they were just more mature I guess?

Stan/Pete- I've never seen much Stan x Pete but when it comes to the goth kids, I ship Stan with Pete the most. Once again, I don't really have any ideas for this ship, it's not something I think about a lot or see a lot of but I think it could be cute... or something.

Stan/Kyle- I don't really ship Style, I just prefer them as friends. I don't know if it's because I ship Stan and Kyle with other people or because their relationship has seemed really strained lately, maybe it's both but I'd rather them be friends. They get cute fanart and sometimes good fic concepts though so that's why they're at number 6.

Stan/Clyde - I've never really seen any Stan/Clyde content before, I think I've seen one fanart and a fic I never read but it seems kind of cute. Like jock x jock or dumbass x dumbass or both of course. I can see them both getting bummed out over their girlfriends when they break up with them but at the same time they don't treat them well so maybe they bond over that. Maybe the ship idea came from the fact that their girlfriends are best friends, I feel like I've seen posts where it's like Stan and Clyde becoming friends because of Wendy and Bebe. It's cute but the ship isn’t for me.

Stan/Michael - I've never heard of this before nor do I really like it, it just doesn't appeal to me. Stan x Pete seems much better.

Stan/Cartman- Again, I don't really see the appeal. There's some cute content for the ship but it's just not for me. It's the same thing as Style, I like them as friends, Style just gets way more content than Stanman does so I guess that's why it's higher on the list, I see it more. I really do like Stan and Cartman's relationship though, they do seem like genuine friends (for the most part).

Stan/Bebe- I like them as friends. I don't know why I do, I've never seen any Stan/Bebe or Stan & Bebe content before and I don't have any headcanons for them but I like the idea of them being friends. I do like how Bebe tried to help Stan get back together with Wendy. Maybe it was for Wendy's sake but she did move on pretty quickly so I like to think she gave Stan advice because she actually wanted to help him. Stan is 100% gay in my mind though (except for Wendy but again, I think I like Stendy because it's canon so I can see what the dynamic is like and Heidi because I think Stan x Heidi is cute.) so I don't ship him with any other girls.

✉ Anonymous asked: hi hi Liv ❤️ I just wanted to say I respect your choice to not post more of your oopsy baby series to prevent others from becoming uncomfortable, and I just hope it doesn’t diminish your own joy for writing and creating.

I think it’s totally fair to acknowledge that you hadn’t included a warning or anything about the kid (almost definitely) being Megumi and reader’s, cuz that happens sometimes! Things slip through! But at the same time people don’t have to keep reading if they get to a point they’re not enjoying it.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I just want you to be happy in your space, so whatever way you choose to achieve that is of course the best choice for you ❤️❤️

hi hi FRIEND!! thank you for such sweet words and for being so understanding and kind. LOVE UUUUUU

[sagessoftwings]

Hello!! May I request a JJK and Demon Slayer matchup please? Thank you in advance!

•••

Hello! I'm Estelle or Aster. I'm 18 years of age, a psychology student, and my pronouns are : He/They. I'm also Poly-Panromantic Asexual.

I'm an introvert who barely goes out, I usually stay in my room reading manga/manhwa while listening to music. I have social anxiety so I don't do well with a lot of people, especially if it's a crowd of strangers. Though, I have noticed and am quit grateful for, I have very low presence so most of the time, people around me doesn't notice I'm there at all, even if I walk in front of them, they don't notice nor see me at all.

I'm very quiet and awkward at first but once I warm up to someone, I can be pretty loud and shameless. I swear a lot, I tend to hug or have any sort of physical contact with my friends, and I make a lot of sexual and dark jokes.

I'm an indoor person, which means I'm not athletic at all. I enjoy watching sports but I don't enjoy doing them. I do play a lot of board games though, if you count that as a sport.

I'm a night owl who stays up until 3 AM in the morning and I'm usually dancing to K-Pop songs during those hours or coming up with weird ideas or thoughts ( Like those shower thoughts ).

Apart from all that, I am a kind and caring person, friendly too but lately I'm very cautious over making friends because I care too much that it ends up hurting me instead. I commit a lot to friendships and relationships, and I'm usually the therapist friend. I just care a lot and love a lot that I end up bottling up my own problems so that I wouldn't bother anyone. I have self-esteem issues and constant negative thoughts of myself, I cope by making jokes about it though. I do have a short temper and I tend to ghost or push people away when I'm angry. I love playing pranks on people, as well as having deep conversations about fandoms and making theories and such. I like to think I'm a chill person who, when left alone, can be weird ( talking to myself, doing strange dramatic acts, etc. ) Oh, I hate failing, so I work hard to win whenever I can. Be it on games, competitions or school exams, I don't like failing. It doesn't matter if I didn't win first place, as long as I didn't fail. I'm a passionate lover and friend ( though, I tend to call people I love and care for, a bitch, but lovingly 💗 ) Also, I suck at cooking, I'm only good at arts & crafts.

My style is completely androgynous.

My ideal type is someone who's willing to take the time to understand me and to be patient with me. I love a lot and will shower you with affection but I have moments where I need to go into hibernation from socializing so much because it physically and mentally pains me if I force myself to socialize more than I already have. My love language is physical affection, corny/cheesy flirts, and overly affectionate words. I will literally write you a long ass paragraph, declaring my love for you. I'm very supportive, so I want someone to support me too. Free of judgement as well. Also, communication is something I hold very strictly in relationships. If you don't want to communicate with me, we're done. I hate misunderstandings, so please be open with me. I won't rush you but don't hide it from me forever.

Hi hi my love!! I love your name it’s so cool 😪 anywho I hope you like your matchup <33

Warnings: sexual content (aged up), cursing, and fluff

For JJK I ship you with: Yuji Itadori!!

Yuji is the guy for you if you like a chill manga reading sesh

He’ll set his whole place up for the two of you with lofi music on the tv, candles and mood lighting and snacks

He really out did himself with this one bestie, It’s little things he does to try and show you how much he loves you

Yuji is the sweetest, especially when you two first meet and he could tell you were the type not to open up right away so he took the first step to let you know he was rlly interested in you

Yuji loves to just sit around and watch dumb videos with you, he also plays a lot of video games and likes when you sit on his lap and he’ll even teach you how to play if you want

I feel like Megumi would be his room mate and constantly have to tell you two to shut up while you two dance battle to k-pop

Yuji likes to sit on the bathroom floor while you take a shower and you two just have like weird ass conversations

He’ll join though if you want him too, he won’t tell but he secretly hopes you ask him to join you in the shower

He definitely has those crayola washable shower crayons to give you feel detail on why aliens exist and they truly don’t want anything to do with us

Yuji always notices that your perceived as the ‘therapist friend’ so he typically will pull you into his lap and ask you if your genuinely okay and if there’s anything on your mind

He cares so much he just doesn’t wanna see you unhappy

Yuji and you are constantly playing pranks on Megumi and Yuji has considered making you two a YouTube channel

Yuji always makes sure he sends you ‘Good Morning Handsome’ texts if you aren’t spending the night at his place

Yuji specifically bought one of those headlamps so when you two have random late night theories he can pull his ‘Theory Book’ out (which also double as his private diary which has a lot of thoughts about you in it ;) )

Yuji has always, since day one, put so much effort forth to understand every single thing about you he just adores you so much and honestly doesn’t wanna lose you

Yuji is the least judgmental person on earth, I mean this mans fkn farted on Megumi's pillow to really test if it gives people pink eye (it does)

He likes to send you stupid flirty (lokey cringy) vids while he’s not with you and be like “Haha I wanna fuck you so bad ahhh autocorrect I meant good morning-”

Mans pulls up with a notepad and pen and stares into your soul then be like “what pet names you like??”

If he gets drunk he will spam you about what he loves about you

If you get into a disagreement he will try everything in his power to just talk it out with you cause you can’t leave him now… he got you matching build- a-bears :(

Smutty Smut-

SUCH A GIVER, if you even try to give him head before he gets to you mans will tie you up “You always come first… no pun intended”

He makes everything so fun and carefree like yes it can be serious sometimes but he wants to make sure your feeling good and having a good time

LOVES TO KISS YOU THIGHS AND LEGS

He’ll sit between your legs with them thrown over his shoulders and just suck at bite at your pretty legs

His moans are so pretty but he can get kinda embarrassed so please tell him he sounds pretty

Bestie don’t be surprised if Sukuna pitches in too, he might be a million year old curse but god dayum shawty you is a fine one

Yuji has a HUGE stamina so babes your insides will be obliterated so you will need a wheelchair

Yuji likes to give you kisses while his hand uses Sukuna’s mouth for something better than being an asshole

After Yuji has cleaned you up and kissed over all the marks he left behind he’ll always pull you into him and tell you how well you took him

For Kny I ship you with: Genya Shinazugawa

HE IS SO UNDERRATED

Genya loves to stay in with you and will make you baked goods while you chill and read mange

AND HE’S SO CUTE, he’ll come up and cuddle next to you and always ask what’s going on in your manga, he’s so invested in you and your interests I’d die for him

Genya quite literally couldn’t get a word out when you two first met it was his brother that had to say “hey my dumb ass of a brother thinks your really handsome and would like to ask for your number”

MEANWHILE HE JUST GIVES YOU A LIL WAVE FROM ACROSS THE ROOM

Genya can always use a hug and never fails to give that amazing bear hug squeeze

Please teach him to dance, he trips over his own feet

He will however always stay up late with you to dance and he’ll even practice when your not there

You once went over to his and Sanemi’s apartment and saw him doing a lil dance routine in the kitchen while making sandwiches

Like Yuji, Genya will sit on the bathroom counter and talk to you

Genya is so cute, he has a problem with staring at you and just going “You’re so beautiful my dove”

YOU AND HIM PULL PRANKS ON SANEMI CONSTANTLY HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Sanemi has definitely thought about getting a restraining order on the both of you

Genya is the last person in the world to be judgmental towards anyone unless someone deserves it

Genya is like literally the best with communicating his feeling like this mans has the softest spot for you

-Smutty Smut-

He is so freaking gentle with you, his rough callused hands will drag over every point on your body with such a feathered graze and he’ll look up with the FATTEST blush and be like “is this okay?”

But if you want it rough mans won’t hesitate

His aftercare is phenomenon and if you want something cooked he won’t falter to run to the kitchen and slave away

Such a innocent soul but please teach him to kiss, you’re his first and genuinely doesn’t know what he’s doing

Please tell him sweet nothings while he thrusts into you, tell him he’s pretty and such a good boy HE’LL GO FERAL

His biddies are also very sensitive so don't be shy, give em a kiss kiss

He likes to place one hand on your cheek while his forehead rests on yours when he cums

Genya always puts a cold glass of water on your side of the bed when he’s done cleaning you up

He’s so warm so great for after sex cuddles

[bereft-of-frogs]

Personally I'm not bothered if something's ends up being kind of standard MCU stuff if it's good MCU stuff. I'm not expecting like an art house movie. I'll watch something else if I want that. I just want the standard MCU stuff to at least be good.

Yeah, I hope you don't mind anon that I'm going to use this ask as a bit of an excuse to talk about how frustrated I am by the responses to Marvel criticism lately.

I'm so annoyed by the way people just immediately dismiss any arguments by being like 'uh it's not that deep, what were you expecting, an arthouse film, this isn't A24'. Like. Yeah. I know that. But I'm still allowed to want the blockbuster action/adventure movie to like...be good? Or fun, at least? And they just...haven't been, for me, lately. I think I'm fairly judging them against similar genre films. Like, I liked the first Doctor Strange a lot better than this one. I liked most of phases 1-3 a lot more than phase 4. I feel like we're being asked to accept more and more mediocre content as the best thing ever just because it's the latest MCU entry.

This also gets into the 'let people enjoy things!' argument and I agree, if the situation is someone posting about enjoying a movie or show, and you're coming onto their post or comments section and being like 'uh, it was trash' sure, let people enjoy things how they want, leave them be. But I'm increasingly seeing people having valid critiques be utterly dismissed with this 'how dare you not let people enjoy things.' Pointing out that there was a lot of unnecessary exposition that dragged down the pacing and that the themes were confused and not ever properly developed is not impacting someone else's enjoyment of it. That's just how film critique works? And it's not 'betraying' or hurting the cast, crew, or studio? I've started to see that dismissal as well, like 'oh you can't say that, people worked really hard on this.' I'm sure they did, but that doesn't mean that there aren't parts that went wrong, or the movie as a whole wasn't very good.

This is also like...a billion dollar-studio with a near-monopoly on the industry. I'm not sure why some fans feel like they need to defend it with such a passion from like...tiktokers and bloggers with less than a thousand followers.

I also think it's kind of interesting how reviewers have started to get preemptively defensive about their positions. I'm finding it interesting to watch Tiktoks that are like 'I felt like MoM fell short in x, y, z ways, I wasn't really a fan of these things, this could have been done better....I STILL LOVED IT.' And on the one hand sure, you can love something and still point out the ways that it fell short. But it does feel like these people are really ranking it like, mid-tier at best and yet still have to add in that they 'loved' it. Maybe I'm off-base there. But those tiktoks have felt...defensive...

Anyway. This is probably kind of rambling. I hope it makes sense. The tldr is I'm getting increasingly annoyed with the way that any critique of an MCU film is dismissed with this attitude of like 'well, what were you expecting, an arthouse film?'

(Or: "you had too high expectations, you all just hate it because you wanted a thousand cameos!" I wanted less cameos. And I wanted the cameos to make sense. And also I had the level of expectations the trailers, promotional material, and previous films set me up for, I do not see why I should adjust my expectations to accept movies that I didn't enjoy?)

Final Aside:

I also think, as someone who also does like auteur cinema and horror, that I would prefer to have the MCU be kind of standardized in its style because, well...I don't really like Sam Raimi. I know the Evil Dead series is super popular, but yeah. I've never liked it that much. I don't really like his horror style. And having it sort of shoehorned into a serialized story, that the viewer kind of has to watch to figure out the story...it's kind of annoying. Because I just wouldn't watch Sam Raimi films normally. But I felt like I had to, because of the serialized nature of the MCU narrative.

(Honestly, I actually would have preferred Scott Derrickson keep the reins and be let loose with the horror elements, because I really like Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose isn't perfect but I like how moody it was. But again, that's a personal preference that not everyone would agree with and it kind of sucks that the way the MCU is structured now, you have to watch all the movies to get the story. Like, if Doctor Strange had been able to have a standalone film in the same way that the earlier phase films could be watched on their own, there would be room for a full horror Doctor Strange or even I saw a tiktok suggesting that it would be a fun experiment to have like, arthouse-style character study short films set in the MCU but like...it feels like it's all such a mess right now.)

Ok, I did like some Raimi-characteristic shots. I liked the montage of Wanda's spell with the guitar riff in the score. And I liked Wanda's fourth wall break when she finally took over other!Wanda. But the Bruce Campbell cameo made me roll my eyes.

DownRight Fierce Dev Update (9/2021)

Not sure if this is something folks here would want to see, but I'll share this update I shared with patrons for the original visual novel I've been working on, DownRight Fierce. It was conceived back in, like, 2014, but since just before the pandemic hit, I've been working on it as a visual novel. It's sort of like...if Street Fighter and Butterfly Soup had a kid? That was born before Butterfly Soup came out? And has been slacking off for a few years? There is a fully playable, mostly presentable demo of the prologue and first three chapters, feel free to contact me if you're interested in trying it out and providing feedback.

Thanks to the support I've received on Patreon lately, I've been able to commission more outfits for the main characters, new expressions, and was able to pay Hayley to re-organize the sprites so I have some more control over mixing and matching different things. We've also implemented a new pose for Nishiko's sprite when they're sending text messages (on their antiquated cell phone).

(all of the character art so far I have commissioned from my friend Hayley Sakura-Rose12)

I ended up deciding to have that sprite made when I implemented a whole text convo with Seiko near the end of Chapter 3. (or partway through the chapter, depending on what the reader chooses - OR they can even skip this conversation altogether, potentially)

The biggest updates to DRF lately have mostly been cosmetic: adding in more facial expressions and effects.

One example of this has been incorpating a more seamless and atmospheric effect for moments when Nishiko gets lost in thought.

There will be a recurring and increasingly important component tied to this, so I'm glad Jenny helped inspire me to pursue this kind of idea. You can also see here a version of Nishiko's sprite which has been visually updated with more texture, alternate color, etc., and that's something she intends to do with the other characters when time allows (she's been very busy for like, over a year now).

Fire and smoke are key visual symbols for Nishiko's character, so Jenny has been helping me figure out ways to express this more through the UI, etc.

(my wife Jenny has worked on the UI, giving it a more gritty look, and she's modified Nishiko's sprite in this image to give extra atmosphere to the character sprites; she also took a placeholder image and did work on it to showcase a potential art style for the backgrounds; we're considering something like this, though maybe including more color, perhaps intentionally depending on the setting)

But it's not just been visual stuff. I've also been adding in extra content, and incorporating more choices and elements that affect and are affected by the stats running in the background.

I've added in new short classroom scenes to help better illustrate Nishiko's experience inbetween social activities, while simultaneously using them to imply elements regarding Nishiko's attention span, as well as flesh out the lore of the world.

I've been a bit inspired by Tuca and Bertie in some weird ways, as well, trying to build lore within my own fighting game inspired world with references that double as, well, world building (like alluding to Street Fighter antagonist M. Bison via a political dictator who existed in this universe's history), including entire chunks of conversation that go in different branches based on weird Capcom humor that also serves to establish backstory.

Nishiko and Kayla bond over love of a dumb cheesy horror flick that's essentially one big meme featuring the 90's Street Fighter cartoon.  The drinks in the vending machines are all Capcom references, but serve as a means of letting the reader more manually increase a stat of their choosing - and since they're vending machines, they recur, so as the reader might get to know what each drink is, they might make a deliberate choice to increase a specific stat on purpose, in a similar way to choosing to exercise, or meditate, or study.

A convo about Nishiko's prior schoolyear incorporates Dark Stalkers references while also, again, letting the reader affect stats in a narratively retroactive way.

I've fleshed out conversations in Chapter 3 to have lots of dialogue most readers won't see in a single playthrough, as well as making more efforts to lean readers toward experiencing certain scenes or moments they might have missed earlier, while allowing the possibility of skipping or missing out on scenes entirely should they choose.

For example, the end of Chapter 3 is focused on Nishiko's relationship with Seiko. There is a text chat convo that can happen in one of two different parts of the chapter, and an in-person convo I'm currently working on (the last planned new content for the demo). Both can be experienced, or one or the other, or the can both be skipped. I don't want to make the entire social life something optional, but I do want to have there be parts like this where the reader can choose to skip interacting with a character if they truly don't want to, to help reinforce the idea that every interaction is, in a sense, a deliberate choice.

Even something like picking 'the BAD' choices is something I want to not just feel like, say, Undertale's infamous 'genocide run' but rather something that is an expression of anger at the world around the main character, which even has some specific benefits - because people don't just become jerks because they like to feel bad, but because it serves them in some beneficial way. As a slight example, if the reader pushes Nishiko to become aggressive, their 'Psycho' stat will increase, which can lead to them having even more aggressive choices later, which further increase that stat. But as that stat increase, Nishiko will become more physically perceptive to certain details about the world around them, but in material ways rather than social ways. For example, they might sense certain inklings of things that allude to later plot points earlier than someone who is more cooperative and might learn more social backstory elements. It's likely not going to be some huge, monumental difference, but it hopefully will make a second playthrough feel noticeably different and give the reader more insight into certain things.

The planned demo will feature the prologue and the first three chapters. By the end, all four main characters will be introduced, and the reader should get a pretty good idea through bits of writing and visual presentation that the choices they make won't change the primary narrative, but will affect certain details and aspects of how things play out. This is actually related to a big plot element itself that will become important later. But for now, it's been really fun adapting content I wrote over five years ago into this format, fleshing it out, and trying to work out ways to not only make that content function better in an interactive format, but also just how to lay more foundation and foreshadowing for what's to come.

While the visuals are still far from finalized even for this demo, I do have a private build uploaded for anyone genuinely interested, as I still haven't received much in the way of feedback so far. I'm planning on releasing a public demo to itchio later on when we can get the visuals to look more finalized.

Feeling detached (?)

The graphic novel is feeling messy--trying to get it in a "lower content" kind of version, something that I can publish a little faster online, because on average, I can actually ink about a frame an evening (lately I've been eeking out this part that's a lot more detailed), and I can basically trace my linework into a cleaner version on consistent "paper" (I have two different sketchbooks right now, and I've been trying to use up some paper that I've had laying around, so that's three different papers and then sometimes, there are smudges and smears). Obviously tracing my own lineworks, I can do something like five an evening, if that's all I do.

Somehow it's Friday again. Since I decided that I need to finish this diamond painting so it'll stop taking up space in my closet, I've been spending Friday nights just obsessively placing crystals. It's a big boi-o, at 85cm, and I'm bad at getting the crystals to go on straight, plus with the type of adhesive it is, even checkerboard doesn't help straighten them like on a poured glue.

Anyway. So I have over a hundred frames that I can convert into some nice linework art for like WebToon or whatnot. I'm obviously not going to just sit there and catch up the digital lineworks; I'm going to do them whenever I feel like doing them. Mostly, I obviously just want to start the new year with enough pages (and now I'm thinking these pages I'm working so hard on are not quite big enough for the webtoon and similar crowds). I was thinking five frames, three times a week in January and then twice a week for literally just a couple months. But if I increase the strips to ten, I might have to do twice a week for the first month, once a week for the second, or maybe just post like five strips at once and drop to three strips every two months? I'll have to see how things are going. I kind of want to drop the first issue on WebToon within the first six months, and maybe let people know they can show their support and check out a physical book of the art.

That would give me about six months to start working on issue two, if people like issue one, and then the six months that I'll try to post issue two, to work on the low content for issue two. If I want to post that in six months, if I have about fifteen ten-frame strips, I could post twice a month...... However....... maybe posting the first issue in six months isn't quite the best move? I do want people to have enough material to get interested in the story..... I'd like if people who would like to see the story in full color could go do that.... I just don't want people maybe getting the wrong idea? I did draw the great, great majority of the linework for issue one in under a year, even with work and errands and coloring, so I can do the linework, no problem. Even less problem when the frames are easier, which most are. I definitely want cushion for major illness and frames that make me ask how long I can spend procrastinating.

So I just have, y'know, all these loose ends hanging out there. Then there's the matter of really plugging through these more difficult frames that I've been struggling with. And I have lineworks that I'm struggling with as well as colorworks that I'm struggling with, so it's fun feeling like everything is hard.......

Obviously, I'm technically not supposed to have my phone on me while I'm at work, but I do my job well, when there's anything to do and there's little to do right now. So since I'm bored, depending on what I'm doing, I've been flipping between trying to work on linework, and coloring. I guess maybe that's why my project feels like it's getting messy.

I don't presently, actively need to work on more lineworks other than to just keep the style as consistent as possible and to keep the story moving forward on at least one of the many, many levels. Not to mention, it's kinda the point, but the low content version is going to rapidly outstrip the fully colored version. Naturally. But still.

I do love the way it looks fully colored. I don't think I would pass that up. At the same time, if between having to work and spending as much time as possible on the graphic novel--I can't reliably outsource ALL my chores, we've had a lot of trouble with just getting car rides and groceries, not to mention, in our situation, it's just easier to do the garbage and laundry and dishes. Not to mention, I am obligated to leave the house occasionally. If only for my sanity. It's just going to take time. About fifteen months. Y’know.

I don't know if detached is really the right word. It feels out of my present control. It feels messy and like there's too much to juggle at one time. It feels like I've spent too much time on these frames--they're little mini-story frames, one frame broken into four segments, and there are two frames dedicated to the story of the founder, and two for the evolution of the school, and I was trying to keep it visually interesting enough while still simple and informational enough......... I hope. I'm gonna check with my one and only beta.

I think it's the depression speaking. I just don't know where to begin with this thing, I partially want to hold off on coloring for a while, or at least finish this volume, get it published, and then maybe just focus on working on the linework? At least with the linework out of my way, I could give more of my attention to coloring. I think I'm also making a little more trouble for myself by even mentally breaking off issue one from issue two, rather than treating them like the same story.

Either way, it's always so exciting in the first place to see the lineworks, and it's exponentially more exciting to see the colored frames. I don't know why I didn't just do this in the first place.

hi! i've really been enjoying ur blog since i found it a day or so ago. i was wondering if you have any tips for getting started in dreamwidth fandom? it seems to be where a lot of interesting meta and fannish blogging happens, but i'm totally lost trying to figure out how to use it for anything besides closed RPs (the first context i used it in).

The key to DW is making a connection with people. Usually, people are interested in a poster who writes meaty meta posts in their own journal or who leaves really interesting comments on posts. Having that kind of presence where people have a sense of your personality and views is also how you get people to let you into their locked posts.

People also post resources/roundups/links, but it tends to be in a more organized, curated way than tumblr--more newsletter or wiki-style, less endless stream of gorgeous reblogged photos.

Here’s an example of a resource post.

Here’s an example of a meta post (also on tumblr, and the DW one only allows comments if the person follows you on DW)

Communities are a way to find more people. They can be about all kinds of topics:

due south newsletter

support com for people working on Guardian fanworks

Everything about HIStory 3: Trapped

The biggest difference I see from Tumblr is two things:

1. The balance of visuals to text

DW does allow visuals, and there are even whole coms that just post a pretty picture per day. But unless you run said com yourself, images probably aren’t the way to make friends and meet people on DW. Commentary is. Words are.

DW also tends to be more into either screencaps or art you did yourself and more sensitive than tumblr/pinterest/the rest of the internet about art theft.

2. Lurkers who?

On DW, there’s more of a sense that each account is a person who you might or might not decide to get to know. There’s less of a sense that it’s probably someone’s side blog where they just reblog pictures of trees.

How people typically meet each other on DW is that someone posts something interesting. Person 2 leaves a comment with their thoughts. A comment thread starts, and both return to it repeatedly to continue the conversation.

A meta post on DW is absolutely an invitation to interact.

If it ain’t locked, you’re supposed to comment. None of this tumblr thing where the “respectful” approach is to reblog with a tag like “#wow I never thought of that” and not actually say anything. Gah!

You can certainly make signal boost DW posts pointing to where discussion is going on, but it’s hard to get known just by curating unless you’re really formal about it. On tumblr, people can get really famous just for reblogging a good set of content. On DW and on LJ back in the day, you kind of could, but usually only if you were very single-topic and it was the thing everyone was obsessed with.

There’s very much a quality over quantity approach in journal fandom, and all the more so now when it has slowed way down and mostly contains the die-hards whom tumblr didn’t work for.

This is also, incidentally, why some oldschool LJ types now find DW too tiring: you have to be able to put in significant social energy to be a member of the community. That’s because you’re forming actual social connections, and those always take time, online or off. If your RL is in a state where you just need to look at some pretty pictures of MCU and some pretty pictures of nature and not backread your tumblr dashboard, DW can start feeling like an obligation.

So I guess my advice is to figure out if any fandoms you like are active on DW and join those coms/follow those people. If you have any Big Meta Thoughts, post those in your own journal and respond to comments if you get them.

IME, it’s fine to leave comments on hugely old posts. Just be aware that if it’s 10 years old, they may not agree with their own meta point anymore.

Most people do get notifications of comments, and those notifications actually work, unlike tumblr’s hot mess, so even if I’m on tumblr 90% of the time lately, I absolutely will see and eventually respond when someone finds my old DW posts.

Yo, friends, what do you think about cultural differences between journaling fandom and tumblr?

How would you get started on DW today?

Bakugou with that undercut is everything. I'm absolutely in love with your art!!

!!!!!!! thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:SORRY BUT…. ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE MORE OF THAT VIGILANTES AU???? THAT CLIFFHANGER

I wouldn’t really call it a cliffhanger tbh lol but yah, sure, someday, as soon as I feel like it again

Anon said:We want seme kirishima and uke bakugou

Then I’m really sorry to let you know that you’re on the wrong blog

Anon said:Do you still ship BakuKami?

Yah

Anon said:Your page is glorious, I await every update you have impatiently but it’s worth it every time. Keep up the absolutely stunning work. And would it be possible to ask for a Ferris wheel date (kiribaku), if not all is good.

Thank you so much! And I dunno, you’re asking for a pretty complex thing there (and I’m not a huge fan of ferris wheels myself so there’s that) - but, sure, if I find myself with the motivation for it why not? It’d make for something pretty scenic, if I could manage to find the strength to put in it all the effort it’d need!

Anon said:Literally I just wanna day ur probably my fav BNHA artist.,,.,, especially kiribaku.,,.. they way you draw them is so cute and wholesome ;-; thank you for my life..,..,,,

Nuh thank YOU for being so kind to me!!!!

Anon said:i miss ur bokuroo art so much. i get it u are more into bakushima and bnha now but do u think u will still draw for hq? love ur art either way

Thank you!!! And maybe? Depends a lot on inspiration, ngl

Anon said:Hey! I was wondering when are you gonna draw the kids again ? I just saw your posts about them and I love them already aha

I’m glad you like them!!! And I’ve been answering “soon” to this question for a while now but I still haven’t gotten around to it, so who knows? I’ve especially been itching to draw Baku and Tai lately ngl………..I wonder when that’ll happen

Anon said:Your art style is really amazing and I love it! Your Kiribaku content gives me life ❤️❤️❤️

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;O;

Anon said:Fran, I have the KiriBaku suit art as my phone wallpaper and show it off to everyone. Is so beautiful and it makes me cry whenever I see it. You’ve drawn their faces and expressions so perfectly in that that it makes my heart ache every single time I unlock my phone. I just wanted to drop by and tell you how much I love it and appreciate you for drawing for this fandom.

GODS I’m happy to hear you liked it that much!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TTOTT

Anon said:Your art of todoroki is so cool! His hair looks so fluffy!

Thank you so much!!! His hair is a lot of fun to draw!!

Anon said:I Fucking LOVE your art ! Honestly, you are the person who have me get back on tumblr. Your Kiribaku gives me life ! But I am too shy to say it with my account.

HECK THANK YOU!!!!!!

Anon said:hello!! i know reposts are not allowed under any circumstances, but i was wondering if that was limited to video edits? i really love your art and was going to make an amv with it but of course since you don’t allow reposts id be best to ask before doing so

Nah videos are cool as long as you link back to every post with the pieces you used for it 👍

Anon said:Are Bakugo or Kirishima or both the jealous type?

I headcanon them both as the reasonably-jealous type, I’d say - not an unhealthy amount of it, but still jealous now and again. It’s born mostly from the fact that I hc them as not necessarily being popular to the point of having people often hit on them? The general status-quo is that the only person actively interested in Bakugou is Kirishima and the only person actively interested in Kirishima is Bakugou, so usually they’re pretty chill about jealousy and stuff because they don’t have to be jealous. It does mean that it’s all the more irking to them when someone shows interest in the other, since they’re not used to feeling “threatened” like that, but they tell each other how much they love each other often enough that they don’t really have any reason to be worried anyway.

It’s like, yeah they don’t like it when people get touchy with thir bf, but they trust each other enough to not be actually worried about it. To be honest with you aside from very specific scenarios more than jealous/possessive I prefer my krbks as the protective sort 💕

Anon said:If Kirishima and Bakugo got into a huge fight what do you think it would be about?

I don’t… actually think they would fight? For them to get in a serious fight it’d take either a serious misunderstanding of sort or a situation in which both of them are stressed for other reasons and it comes all out with them taking it out on each other. Aside from that, the most probable thing I can see them fighting over is anger fueled by worry for each other’s well being tbh - Kirishima doing something extremely risky and Bakugou turning his fear and worry into anger, and Kirishima being angry right back because they’re heroes, Bakugou can’t be angry at him for acting as an hero should, and Bakugou’s anger getting even worse because Kirishima isn’t valuing his life as much as Bakugou values it, for example. Or Kirishima being worried about Bakugou and for one reason or another pushing it too far and having Bakugou get on the defensive as he does and it all just turning into a fight of “I don’t need you treating me like I can’t take care of myself” and “why must you always be so uselessly stubborn” and so on.

But all of these wouldn’t actually be about them being angry with each other, it’s all stuff that comes from love? From them loving each other so much that their care can turn into something ugly too, that is. At least, that’s the way I see it

Anon said:After seeing the asks abt the nsfw, may I ask why? I totally understand and respect your choice, I just want to know why would you never draw it? It’d be very interesting to see!

There are actually a lot of reasons why, tbh, but the most practical and obvious one is that as things stand right now in fandoms posting nsfw content is exactly the same as lighting up a very huge arrow pointing straight at you and yelling “please be an ass to me”, and that’s absolutely not what I want my fandom experience to be like, considering I already have enough of that without adding posting nsfw to the mix

Anon said:Can I ask if you like uraraka? Mostly bc you said she was reduced to her romantic supplot, and I wanna know your opinion of her (sorry if I worded this wrong)

Hm, what a question. Overall, I’m pretty indifferent to Uraraka as a whole? I like her design and she’s fun to draw because she’s easy to draw, so that’s part of it. I’m incrdibly unhappy with how Horikoshi is writing her, because he’s given her a lot of potentially very cool traits just to make literally nothing of any of them, and that’s just disappointing. As she is in the manga right now, whether she’s there or not doesn’t change anything for me because A, she’s barely there ever anyway and B, she doesn’t really have any sort of relationship with my faves so my attention doesn’t gravitate much towards her all in all. She’s said a couple of things in the past I’m not much happy about, but I realize they were mostly things said to move along the plot so I made peace with it. I’m not much of a fan of her fanon characterization? So I generally prefer it if she isn’t part of the fancontent I cosume, but that’s on the fandom and not on Horikoshi. 

All in all, lots of wasted potential, but she’s cute I guess? She hasn’t done anything worth notice since the sports fest lbr so I’m very ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about her as a whole

Anon said:i loev your art. have a brilliant day.

Thank you!!! I hope you have a fantastic day too!!!!

[icharchivist]

Hey, how do I get into hypmic? Is it an anime? A song based thing? Like I see some music videos but also there's apparently a plot so that can't be it right? It seems interesting but I'm lost

aaHH HEY!! welcome welcome! 

Oh my god i’ll try my best to make it not sound as complicated as it is. 

Hypmic is a mixed media series that is mainly told via songs and drama tracks, so it’s a little tought to get into, but we also get side content with a manga. The only struggle is to find all you need online but i have a drive file with all the songs/elements in chronological order, so i can send that in private if you want to (the fandom tends to try not to share stuff publically because the right holders are very serious over not letting things spill too much)

the plot is a little cheesy and it’s mostly just for characters’s moments and excuse for songs but tbh I have so much joy out of it i don’t even want to belittle it for that, it’s the best kind of cheesy i love it so much.

the place to start is here, this video:

The translation of this song in particular can be found here. As you can see in the video there is also the profile (name/age ect.) of each characters.

You’ll find all the translations available on this website. They only translated the first battle season (the second one just started recently) and so far we only have summaries of the new seasons thanks to this twitter account.

The general structure of the series, as it is narratively intended to be consumed, is that each Album has about 3 songs and 2 drama tracks. So you just need to get into the albums in a chronological order to get about everything. The rest is honestly just bonus, even if we’re starting to get more unique content in the manga adaptation lately. 

(there are previews of each albums on youtube, and the full songs of all the ensemble songs and of the latest album’s songs, you can find them in this playlist to give you an idea at least of if you’re interested in the sound.)

The Project: Was started by Ichiro’s VA specifically to bring spotlight to the Rap scene in Japan. Each songs are made in collaboration of multiple rappers who get promoted with it. Meanwhile it is also a passion project for the 12 main seiyuus involved who all get to develop their characters with it. Each divisions generally works with different styles of music and ambiance. Each Divisions also get different plots and different development through them, evolving with very different themes.

The Story (at least what you need to know before getting into it): 

After World War 3, the new Government in place in Japan banned all weapons, only allowing them to be remplaced by Hypnosis Microphones, Microphones that can cause multiple physical and mental injuries depending on your flow, your way to use words, the truth of your words, ect... Some more extreme uses in skilled hands can do as much as create violent hallucinations or even healing.

Originally the Government barricaded itself in Chuukukou, the center of the city, and left the rest of Tokyo to fend for themselves in territories battles. As time went by and the territories battles were organized in a way for only 4 major divisions to be in the control of the city, Chuukukou however siezed the opportunity to organize Gladiator Battles with said 4 representants and fight for more territories between themselves while entertaining everyone, as the battles are treated also like they were idols. It’s of course more a way for the Government to keep a control over what’s going on outside and keep a close eye on the powers outsides its walls. 

Those Four Divisons are divided as presented in the above video: 

Ikebukuro Division is taken care of by the Buster Bros!!, Ichiro Yamada, Jiro Yamada and Saburo Yamada - three brothers working odd jobs together. Yokohama Division is taken care of by Mad Trigger Crew, Samatoki Aohitsugi, Juuto Iruma, and Riou Busujima Mason - a Yakuza, a Corrupted Cop, and an Ancient Marine  Shibuya Division is taken care of by Fling Posse, Ramuda Amemura, Gentaro Yumeno, and Dice Arisugawa - A Fashion Designer, A Writter, and A Gambler.  Shinjuku Division is taken care of by Matenrou, Jakurai Jinguji, Hifumi Izanami, and Doppo Kannonzaka - A Doctor, An Host, and a White Collar Worker. 

I am keeping it as vague as possible so if you get into it you get to discover why those bands even formed and what sort of dynamic they ended up creating with each others. If the fact those combinaisons of characters intruigue you then i’m encouraging you to get into it even more because it is fantastic ahah.

And to make their battles worse: the Four Leaders, Ichiro, Samatoki, Ramuda and Jakurai actually used to be part of a band together, The Dirty Dawg and were very close. Until something happened leading to their breakup and some level of resentment- different for everyone of course. And obviously this gets addressed as the battles go on. 

I’ve personally got into the saga by just knowing vaguely about the characters and listening to the music available on youtube and ended up... well. Loving the songs so much I needed to know the story behind them. So i personally i do recommand listening to the songs on youtube, and if you like the vibe, just dive into it ;O

Before moving on, reminder, all of the translations available for all i’m talking about are on that website. 

The Structure of the Main Series, is therefore by Albums: 

The four first albums (Buster Bros!! Generation / Mad Trigger Crew Bay-Side / Matenrou  Clinical Sound / Fling Posse - F.P.S.M) are the Introductions albums: Each about one of the division, has one song by character to present them, and 2 drama tracks setting up their dynamics (the first drama tracks of each album is available on youtube if it serves as a starting point - the second drama tracks explore the relationships more in depth and are not available online.)

Then you need to listen to the Battle Anthem / translation

Then comes the Battle Season: 

-War War War, BB VS MTC. It has one group song per band, and a rap battle song where they face off, alongside with two drama tracks that basically moves the main story up while establishing the dynamics between the divisions. (as a word of advice storywise, listen to the group songs before the drama tracks and to the battle song after the drama tracks) -Battle Battle Battle, FP V M. Same formula as Warx3. -Death Respect, The finale of the winners (that I won’t reveal yet). The album itself only has the battle songs and remix of the groups songs. -The Champion, with a song announciating the Champion, AND a Song about the Past of the Four Leaders when they used to be together. Along with two drama tracks, one basically concluding the Battle Seasons and the characters’s arcs, and a Prequel Drama Track about the leaders’s past.

There are yet no translations for the Prequel Drama Track. 

Then we have the preparation for the second Season as it starts with Hoodstar.

The last released Album’s name is Enter the Hypnosis Microphone.   The album countains:  -All the 3 ensemble songs -All the 4 group songs  -4 New Group Songs that are all available fully on Youtube. 3 out of the 4 had been translated. (Ohayo Ikebukuro, Stella, Papillion. Dead Pools wasn’t translated yet) -5 Drama Tracks: One per division and one finale one that conclude this arc in particular. Only summaries are available. 

That’s the core of the story, that’s where you should focus on. Like I said I can share the full discogaphy in private. We’re being secretive but we just keep it private, so if you are interested my file should be clear about the Order and all.(I also have the translations saved in those files for better accessibilities - if i share this file you will just need to follow the numbers and you should be fine, just ask me about it and i’ll send it gladly, i just don’t post it in public)

ON A SIDENOTE: we get mostly Official art releases via magazines and such so it can be hard to find again. as much as i hate zerochan in term of how it deals with fanarts, its official art sections is pretty solid so you can find a few of the official arts HERE if curious.

Another note: the winners during Battle Seasons are determined by the audience, the fans, us. As a result the plot is always everchanging by our own involvement with it. We get to decide the winners just like Chuukukou is supposed to do and that’s a fun gimmick. for now we’re not in a battle season but soon :3c

If THEN you decide to go into deep, There a few manga, and you can find the translated versions of it there. (only three of them had been translated). 

the manga are hard to find and incomplete so i wouldn’t encourage you to seek them yet unless you get into deep. The two first manga that were translated are adaptations of the first drama tracks. it seems the volume version that recently came out also adapted the second drama tracks but we hadn’t got to see them yet.  The Third manga (ongoing) is set before the Prequel about the Leaders, before the met each other and it sets up more the politics of the world (warning the politic worldbuilding is slightly cringeworthy). I wouldn’t recommand it before you’ve reached the Champion album. It is also not over yet.  Now two new manga are ongoing and i only have chapter 2 of each in Japanese so @.@ but they seem to cover unique new side stories for the characters with some lore dump. We get translation threads over the twitter i linked once in a while.

Other bonus: They started releasing Duets for some characters, which are super hard to find (i have them though so it’s fine, we just have no translation of them except the translation threads). The Duets so far are mostly joke songs + a drama track to give it context. We got a Samatoki&Ichiro, Jiro&Saburo and Hifumi&Doppo duets so far. More seem planned. They came out with the volume versions of the manga. 

Others bonus: They have made 2 full lives yet where the Seiyuu came out as In Character as possible to play and sing their songs. It’s mostly bonus content to see how they set up some of the songs ahah. (I have them but it would take me time to share them)

Upcoming: there will be a ryhtmic/visual novel mobile game, but we have no idea how much it will be involving plot or just gaming device ahah. But it’s coming. 

I think this is as much as a vague taste i can give about the series. If you’re really curious i can send the file right away, and you can take it at your own rythm.

and since i’m publishing it that’s an invitation for anyone who would want it. 

I hope it makes it clearer and i sure hope you are still curious about it :3c 

Take care! :3

21. "I'm better when I'm with you." USUK with delinquent Arthur and nerdy Alfred

Better.

From Super sappy lines. (Requests closed)

A/N: I admit the delinquent/nerd thing has never been my particular style, but I really enjoyed writing this. And I may have taken a couple of liberties with the prompt.

Alfred’s parents didn’t like Arthur.

They had liked him once; when he was younger and cheerful and more reserved. He was in the year above, the first person to talk to Alfred when he’d moved to England eight years ago. And in Alfred’s opinion, his first friend.

It seemed like Arthur had changed a lot in that time. At first, his parents had been happy and excited to know that Alfred was already making friends, especially with a boy who was kind enough to help Alfred find the right bus when he forgot which one he was supposed to take. But they grew up. Alfred stayed much the same. He was still hyper-focused on his studies, still had niche interests that only Arthur listened to, still clumsy and still had a little bit of trouble expressing himself in front of others.

Arthur, however, had changed. It had started with a few piercings. Then a leather jacket instead of his blazer. Then dress code detentions had turned into late work detentions, skipping school detentions, and one suspension for getting into a fist fight with another lad in the car park. Alfred could hear people in their form group whisper about how different Arthur was from the nice, quiet guy he used to be, how much he’d changed.

His parents had wanted him to stop spending time with Arthur. They hadn’t said it in so many words, only implied it. They thought he was a bad influence. That his fighting and skipping and antisocial behaviour would lead Alfred down the wrong path. But as long as Alfred’s grades were doing fine and he wasn’t getting into trouble, then they couldn’t force him.

Everyone thought Arthur was a bad influence. Even their form tutor, who saw the most of his and Arthur’s interactions, had pulled him aside before lunch once and asked him if he was okay. If Arthur wasn’t being mean to him. He even had the audacity to imply that Alfred was only friends with him because he was too scared to say no to Arthur.

But Alfred knew the truth.

Arthur hadn’t changed. His behaviour had been a way to lash out, to get some relief from so much internalised anger that came with having shitty parents who didn’t care what he did either way. But he still helped Alfred get home. He still checked that Alfred was doing his homework. Most of the time Arthur was making sure that Alfred didn’t get into trouble, not trying to get him to join in.

Arthur was a rock. He was a spiky, troubled rock, but he was Alfred’s rock. He was the only person who didn’t ask Alfred questions like he knew what was best for him. He let Alfred ramble about the latest episode of tv shows he liked and asked genuine questions instead of just saying “that’s nice” and shutting him up. He only asked about Alfred’s schoolwork to make sure he was keeping on top of it and not because he needed to know that Alfred was on track for As. He laughed with Alfred, not at him, and never had Alfred felt like he was inferior when Arthur was around.

Most of all, when he was with Arthur, he didn’t think so much.

Alfred didn’t know what was wrong with him. Arthur had suggested a great deal of things, googled stuff for him and laughed when sites like Web MD gave the only option as some kind of tumour, and insisted time and time again that there was nothing wrong with him. If he needed help, they could get him help, but that didn’t mean he was broken.

He was the only person who said stuff like that to him. Alfred had a tendency to overthink, to overanalyze. He stared at homework tasks that were only cheap practise for exams and worked himself up into a panic over whether he was using the right words or not, if he was right about a certain fact, even getting to the point of doubting everything he said was even accurate and he’d imagined the whole lesson he was working on. His parents had told him to focus, to stop crying like a child, just keep working. When he’d come home with an essay just two marks off an A+ that he was incredibly proud of they’d said he could try harder next time. He was stressed, all the time, he had been since he started upper school and Arthur had commented several times that he was sure Alfred was going to get an ulcer before he even finished his a-levels. Which had been a mistake since he’d begun then genuinely to worry that all his stress would cause an ulcer every time he worked himself up over a typo.

But then Arthur would text him. Say he was going to go out and stargaze and practise his guitar and Alfred could join him if he wanted.

So Alfred would. Arthur would have a beer he took from the fridge that his parents didn’t notice, he’d push Alfred away when he asked again if he could try it, and they’d sit on the roof of a multi-storey at the corner of town and watch stars while Arthur played his guitar.

“How’s the essay going?”

Arthur’s voice was soft. It was always soft when he asked about school. Alfred wanted to be annoyed and think it patronising, but it was accompanied by the gentle strumming of his guitar and a look of disguised concern that he couldn’t find annoying.

He picked up some loose pebbles, tossing them at the raised wall at the side of the roof.

“Awful.”

Arthur kept playing, a quiet snort his first response.

“Yeah. Essays are shit.”

Alfred laughed. He should’ve curled up, should’ve felt his chest tighten with worry and panic and let his mind run over with possible scenarios and answers to his failing essay. But he laughed. A high, peeling laughter coupled with hiccups of giggles for Arthur’s blunt and ridiculous reply, smiling even more when he glanced over to see Arthur grinning right alongside him.

Alfred’s laughter died down into a sigh, his lower lip pulled between his teeth.

His mind still spun with endless thoughts. He’d never been able to shut his mind off, not since he could remember. It was always loud and contradicting, an endless stream of thoughts and ideas that took over whenever there wasn’t anything immediately occupying his attention. But Arthur’s quiet guitar playing could lull the thoughts into a murmur. Still there, always still there, but not deafening.

Arthur was playing something Alfred didn’t recognise; maybe something improvised, maybe messing around with the chords of a familiar tune. It was probably just a cover of some obscure band Alfred didn’t know. But he didn’t care. It was soothing on Arthur’s beaten up acoustic, and Arthur’s steady, deep breaths were enough to ground him too.

He didn’t like to stare at Arthur. He knew it was rude, and weird, and frankly just a little frighteningly intimate. But he liked to watch him play. The way his hands moved so easily on the strings of his guitar, the way his breathing would even with the rhythm, the way he’d sometimes start humming subconsciously and Alfred could quietly try to decipher if Arthur was humming the vocal line or another instrument of the band.

Arthur was an art piece. He had a clear outer shell, the thing everyone took for granted when they grazed over his pierced eyebrow and worn leather jacket and steel toed boots. It took you time, a long time, to look at him and start to see the other things. Like the deepness of his green eyes, or the roughness of his hands from playing his guitar endlessly. The scar on his lower lip from a time he never mentioned. The way the corner of his mouth would tilt up just slightly when he was truly content.

Alfred knew a lot about Arthur. It came with the package of being best friends. He just didn’t like to dwell so long on how he felt about every detail.

“What are you thinking?” Arthur spoke up again, soft, quiet voice carried over his music.

Alfred looked at him for a long moment, looked at Arthur’s carefully kept gaze on the stars above. Arthur wouldn’t startle him by looking him in the eye when he was thinking. But what was he to respond when the subject of his thoughts had asked the question.

He swallowed, looking away and up towards the sky again.

“Just…stuff.”

Arthur’s playing slowed, but didn’t stop. From the corner of his eye Alfred could see Arthur glance in his direction.

“Bad stuff?”

“No…Just stuff.”

“Too much stuff?”

Arthur knew him well too. Alfred didn’t like to admit it, didn’t like to think of himself as a burden or so easily read. But Arthur understood him.

He looked back to Arthur, staring into those deep, questioning green eyes. Arthur would never push, never insist. He’d never made Alfred tell him what was wrong, just sat with him until he felt like talking. Everyone said he was so tough, so cold, so hard and shut off and mean and such a menace. But to Alfred, he was open, honest. There was nothing but understanding in those eyes.

And Alfred smiled.

“No. It’s just one thought.”

It was just a small smile, just a little tilt of his lips. But it was there, and it was warm, and it was only for Arthur to see. And Arthur smiled back.

“Just one?”

“Just one.” Alfred brought his legs up, wrapping his arms around his knees and perching his chin on his arms as he looked at Arthur.

Arthur had told him many times that Alfred was the bravest person that he knew. He couldn’t imagine why; he hadn’t done anything courageous, nothing that traditional bravery would bring to mind. He couldn’t even bring himself to say things unless he was alone with Arthur, and even then there were things he wanted to say to Arthur and lacked the confidence to do so. He wanted to thank Arthur for being there for him. He wanted to tell him how glad he was that they were friends. He wanted to tell him how much he meant to him.

But maybe he didn’t have to say all of that in so many words. He was tired of a life with too many words; too many hours of studying, too many subjects, too many words swirling about his head all the time. Except from when he was with Arthur.

Few words had been a comfort. A freedom. It wasn’t so scary to look into Arthur’s eyes and tell him how he felt with only a few words.

“It’s better…I’m better. I’m better when I’m with you.”

Arthur stared at him for a moment, a long moment. Long enough that Alfred felt he should’ve started to worry. But it was Arthur. Arthur had never once given him reason to worry. And he still didn’t. He just smiled his easy, lopsided smirk and slowly looked back to the stars.

“You’re better when you’re with me.” He repeated, slow and quiet, like the words had meant some great deal to him.

Alfred wasn’t analysing his reaction though, just following his gaze up and looking for constellations.

“I’m better when I’m with you.” He repeated.

He didn’t look when he heard the gravel under Arthur shift, he could feel Arthur’s body closer to his own, the head of the guitar in front of his legs and Arthur’s forearm resting against his shin as he resumed playing.

“What are you thinking now?” Arthur asked.

That your shoulder is touching mine.

That your guitar playing is perfect.

That I want to stay in this moment forever.

“The stars are beautiful.”

Arthur hummed, a quiet agreement, still focused on his guitar.

He’d jokingly named it Al once. He’d told Alfred how musicians sometimes named their instruments, that it was just a silly thing of connecting with music. Alfred had laughed, said it sounded stupid. So Arthur had said what if he named it after him, would it be stupid then.

It was. They’d both laughed and Arthur had shoved him for being a twat. But he’d declared he was calling his ridiculous guitar Al then, in honour of his best friend.

His playing slowed, Alfred was hardly aware of it until Arthur shifted and carefully put the guitar down. He glanced over, wondering if Arthur was about to get up, say he’d take Alfred home now. It usually went that way; he grew tired of playing and Alfred grew tired in general and Arthur would drive him home and say goodnight.

But he didn’t, he just rested his hands in his lap and turned to look at Alfred.

In the quiet, he saw again how close they were. It was a little cold, being late, but Alfred could still feel bodyheat where their shoulders brushed. Arthur blinked and he could see every eyelash, the faint freckles on his cheeks, the scar on his lip.

He’d spent a lot of time thinking about that scar.

“What are you thinking now?”

It was a murmur now, a soft, barely-there request and Alfred tried his best to look at Arthur’s eyes and not his lips. He didn’t know what he was thinking. There was no music, no homework, no pressure. There was just Arthur, staring at him, asking him a question he didn’t have the answer to.

“I’m not.”

“Good.”

Arthur’s hand was on the back of his neck, fingertips cold but palm warm. He pulled him in, gently angling his head and Alfred let his eyes shut and Arthur hold him there as their lips brushed in a soft, barely-there kiss.

“How about now?”

The murmur was against his lip, he could feel the movements of Arthur’s mouth, feel the breath on his skin. His mind was still blank. Nothing more than Arthur’s eyes and Arthur’s lips and the overwhelming feeling of utter contentment.

“…I want to kiss you again.”

So he did.

[purplefictionmom]

I'd normally be like "ALL THE QUESTIONS" but I'm really interested in 7 and 15 (but like if you wanted to do them all then hell yeah pls do)

You know what, Imma answer them all, cause I love you darling~

All answers under the cut, cause I’m sure I'll get long winded, as usual haha

1) is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason?I mean, there was a story that I had been sitting on for...10 years, I think? I just didn’t know how I wanted to tell the story. It started as a mockumentary type of thing, then when that didn’t fit the narrative style I wanted to tell, I moved to a classic modern fantasy style, but that didn’t pan out either.

Then, the game called “What Remains of Edith Finch” came out and it hit me so hard that I nearly passed out: that is the perfect narrative style for the book idea I’ve been sitting on!!

Incidentally, if you haven’t played/watched someone play it, “What remains of Edith Finch” is an excellent game and Jacksepticeye does a wonderful let’s play of it :D

2) what work of yours, if any, are you the most embarrassed about existing?Not as much anymore, but I used to hate bringing up “...And the Things That Followed.” Just for a short what-for: ATTTF is a Left4Dead/2 fanfiction, reader-insert that started as a sort of experiment: I perused lunaescence and picked a fandom that I was familiar with, but that didn’t have a lot of fanfiction to choose from. I mostly wanted to see if smaller fandoms stay active, even with very little content to choose from. And boy, did I get my answer.

The biggest reason that I ended up embarrassed over it was because I hadn’t intended it to be a romance fic (I mean...the two main characters are the reader and a Hunter, and what with necrophilia being really gross and all...), but I had readers out and out demand for it, to the point of going on strike from reading my fanfic. This was years ago, mind you, so I caved like a wet noodle and now hate that particular fanfic, to the point where I don’t even want to write the two sequels that I already had planned and half-written.

So, it started out as embarrassment, now its more I wish I could just delete it and forget it exists, but I’m one of those authors who has a really hard time deleting anything, even things I hate haha.

3) what order do you write in? front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?For the very first, ultimate scene I picture in each fic/story/novel, it could really end up anywhere in the final version.

After that first initial scene I see, I try to start as far back as I think I can get away with and move forward from there, so I guess the short answer is I write from beginning to end, no matter how it ends up being at the end, haha.

4) favorite character you’ve writtenI guess this is supposed to not include characters I don’t own, but that’s no fun so here you go:

OC: A supernatural Hunter named Silva and another hunter (who I have an rp blog for) named Theodora ‘Timmie’ Wilson

Non-OC: Writing Yusuke from YYH and Asgore from UT

5) character you were most surprised to end up writingI’m not quite sure what this question means, so I’ll just take a stab and guess it’s talking about how a character can end up differently on paper than how you first envisioned them in your head.

And that award goes to Silva. I expected her to be a hard, cold killer, but she had so much inner turmoil and hidden thoughts that she was definitely the hardest character to write until I actually started to understand her.

Which took an ungodly amount of time, tbh haha.

6) something you would go back and change in your writing that it’s too late/complicated to change nowProbably how often I use the double-hyphen. Its meant to be an alternative to using commas (which, I use to many as it is anyway haha), but now they litter my writing like popcorn on the floor at a midnight release, haha.

7) when asked, are you embarrassed or enthusiastic to tell people that you write?Honestly? A little of both.

I’m someone who sees fanfiction (and any fanwork at all, tbh) as legitimate art forms, but there are so many who not only don’t agree, but they belittle and question those who participate in fandoms.

There are days I have all my shit together and I’m ready to defend my fanfiction to the death, along with all my original content; I have my sources, I have examples, so on and so forth, but other days...

Well, let’s just say there are days I don’t even volunteer that information to people willingly haha.

8) favorite genre to writeOther than fanfiction, I love horror, fantasy, and scifi the best, though there are plenty of times it feels like I’m hardly writing for any of those genres at all, haha.

9) what, if anything, do you do for inspiration?Fanfiction, most of the time, but I also listen to songs on the radio, discuss ideas with friends/family (my step-dad was the only person when I was growing up who nurtured my love for telling stories and many of my ideas for novels came from talking with him over the years), or I also like to free-write.

At least, I think its called free-writing haha. I basically just put my pen on paper and just talk to the page with my pen. Sometimes, its just a rant, but more often then not, I’ll find a story or character hidden there.

10) write in silence or with background noise? with people or alone?All of the above, haha. In the perfect atmosphere, music is playing in the background, and I’m completely alone with no distractions, but since that’s not reality, I’ve sort of forced myself to adapt to what I can.

My computer (where I do 90% of my writing) is in the living room of my house, so my hubby is usually around, and if he’s playing overwatch, then its usually a few voices playing in the background.

If it gets to be too distracting, I just put headphones in, but I also write in notebooks and I take those everywhere, so for that, I just write when/what I can as I go along.

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?Definitely dialogue, but also my prose. Honestly, all of it, haha. I look back at stuff I wrote years ago and I wonder how anybody thought I was any good, haha.

12) your weaknesses as an authorIf I had to pick one, its probably that I tend to either over-explain, or under-explain. There is no in-between, haha. My first drafts are often a mess of me focusing in on the details of one room and then not describing a setting for two chapters or more.

13) your strengths as an authorProbably my ability to logically follow order of events, even though I don’t plot, like, at all. This also makes it easy to see where I can divert from what’s expected and explore different avenues.

14) do you make playlists for your current wips?Not really? I tend to either put my whole library on shuffle, or I have a dedicated writing playlist that’s full of background music from video games and other things like that.

15) why did you start writing?It started as an outlet.

When I was about 10, my dad came home from work one day while my mom was still at work and while I watched, packed all his stuff into his car, called my mother and told her that if she didn’t get off work soon I’d be home alone, and then left.

I was in a complete and total depression from around then until well into my late teens (I have a little depression now, and a slew of other problems, but now for diff reasons). On top of my dad leaving, my mother, step-father and I all moved to a completely new state, where I started to bomb academically and had literally no friends until almost a year later.

It started out as angsty pre-teen poetry (a lot of which actually still pretty good, even as I go back to read it), then it spilled into fanfiction and fandoms, and around the age of 13--once my step-dad found my love of writing and wanted to pull me away from fanfiction--I finally started writing original ideas out.

16) are there any characters who haunt you?Silva, and a few others. Not so much because their stories are left untold, but moreso because of the way they helped shape me as a writer and the things I was interested in writing about.

The debate about whether or not a writer should write about a certain subject usually stems from readers, but I tend to lean toward the argument from a writer’s point of view: there are subjects that I broached as a teenager that I needed to explore in order to be who I am today, as a person and as a writer. Not to say I have something horrible in my writer’s past that I wouldn’t be able to share, but more that it might be questionable about the age that I delved into those topics. (and no, I don’t mean just smut, though that is included in what I’m talking about)

17) if you could give your fledgling author self any advice, what would it be?Stop wasting your time trying to please family members with what you write. Most of them are going to ignore the whole of your writing and focus in on the one swear word you threw in for characterization anyway.

Write what makes you happy; whether or not its publishable isn’t the point. You’re just starting out and you need to write; to get better, to learn the ropes, so just go WRITE!

18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?Oh geez...at the beginning, everything I read affected my writing style. Fanfiction, published novels, everything.

Probably my biggest influencers would be “The Green Mile” by Stephen King, “The Hobbit” by JRR Tolkien, “This Present Darkness” By Frank Peretti.

And while these are hugely different authors with different writing styles, they more influenced me in my way of thinking. Of expanding my imagination of what could be if I just had the courage to write it.

19) when it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?I either have a notebook filled with notes about characters/information, or I use a website called Hiveword(dot)com. It’s a novel tracking website that also advertises its program (which you have to pay for), but the website itself is free and you can store all the information about your book, characters, timeline, etc.

20) do you write in long sit-down sessions or in little spurts?Both, but I get more done with longer sessions. I know that seems like a no-brainer, but its more because of how I prep myself for my writing time:

I have to have a glass of water or cup of coffee, I have to have my music playing (which, with spotify could take a few minutes to load), I have to re-read the last page or so of what was previously written so I can get back into the feel of it, then I can actually sit down and write.

the little spurts end up being in my notebooks and they’re a mess, honestly, haha.

21) what do you think when you read over your older work?I used to cringe and close it immediately, but I’ve been trying to analyze and see the biggest differences in my writings from a then and now standpoint. Sometimes its really hard, if its particularly bad or whatev, but its been a real confidence booster when I can see where I was and where I am now.

22) are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?Not uncomfortable, per se, but I tend to try and think of things from a reader’s perspective at the same time I write, so there are times when I get a little too involved in what’s happening on the page, haha.

HIAPOTS was a terror to write at some points because of this.

23) any obscure life experiences that you feel have helped your writing?All of it, if I’m being honest, but obscure things specifically? Hmm...

I mean, probably the fact that I give all my pets personalities and conversations between each other? I do it without thinking, but there are times where I’ll find myself using lines or situations from this weird little thing in my actual writings, haha.

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?OMG SO MUCH. Like, idk about ‘expert’, but I have so much useless trivia in my head because of being an author. Talk with me for an hour and see if I don’t throw ‘fun facts’ into the mix of our conversations haha.

25) copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud ofOh ugh...umm...let me to look...

From a currently unpublished reader/sans fic I’m writing:You understand, don’t you, Sans? 

Sure, Sans understood. Sans always understood. He was the one who didn’t make waves, or overturn boats--you could always count on Sans to be the reassuring nod when you felt lost or the understanding ex who’s perfectly okay with just letting things die, even though the ending came as the greatest punchline ever written in history:

He hadn’t even seen it coming.

(I love delving into characters’ heads, and i love it more when i can do it well enough to feel comfortable with letting other people read it, haha)

From Part 6 of my Garrus/Reader serial fic:“They were my cases,” Garrus admitted, his eyes finally leaving Castis’s in favor of looking at the floor, “And I can’t watch it happen again.”

If Castis didn’t have such a steely reign on his composure now, Garrus might have been clued into his father’s line of thought. As it was, Castis was being forced to realize that he had been wrong in his assessments of his son.The older turian had always thought Garrus shirked the rules and regulations as a form of rebellion, since Castis stepped in and forced him to quit training for the spectres--as if to prove he didn’t care about what his father cared about. Now, Castis realized the reason Garrus pushed them aside so easily was because he did care, maybe too much.

(Honestly, the whole argument between Castis and Garrus in this part of the fic is something I’m proud of)

#wowee look at me go #elainapoststhings

[fyrapartnersearch]

Looking for partners that will allow me to write some pre-made character ideas that I have!

Hello! My name's Rain, and I'm a 21-year-old who has been roleplaying for approximately 6 years (but only in the most recent 4 or 5 have I really been "serious"). After being dragged by the ankles (although not without a struggle) into a hellish chasm of personal issues that has kept me from writing, I’ve finally managed to work everything out and am now itching to get back into the roleplaying-game! I'm hoping that I can find some good partners to satiate my cravings, and hopefully I can satiate some of yours too. I'm particularly looking to write some ideas that I have for characters. If you emailed me in the past and I didn’t respond, shoot me another email! Like I said, I had some things get in the way, so I’d be up for rekindling a past roleplay or picking up planning where we left off.

I can write replies ranging anywhere from 500-1200 words average - I know that's a rather big window to call my "average", but I don't want to make it sound like that's my strict length. This equates to around 3-8 paragraphs, but that obviously will vary depending on the size of the paragraph. I can certainly go upwards from 1200 and have gone on to posts with 2000+, however that's usually too much for most people. Essentially, I'll write the same amount you write so that it's not over or underwhelming. Let me know your range and I'll adapt! Although, if you would be willing to write 1500+/2000+ words a post, then you’d earn quite a bit on bonus points from me.

In terms of writing style, I write third person, past tense, multi-paragraph to novella. HERE are some samples of my writing! The first was an intro so it’s quite long, and the second is from the same roleplay as the first. The third is from a separate one.

I'm also putting this up front - my schedule's a bit wonky. There will be some days where we can go back and forth multiple times with multiple posts each and there will be some days where I can't reply at all. I'll try my best to let you know in advance if there will be a period of 2+ days where I can't reply, but things happen. My activity rate is partially dependent on interest level as well - if I'm really into and excited about our roleplay, I'll be able to reply more often!

On a similar note, I'm on the east coast (EST) if that's an important factor for you.

I'm open to playing multiple characters if that suits your fancy, or, if you'd rather just play one each, that's fine by me as well.

For relationship pairings, I do all different kinds: romantic/sexual, platonic, familial, and antagonistic. I think it's fine to mix and match all these different kids because they can make for some interesting character interaction! As for the gender pairings of the characters, I'm mostly looking for m/f, but depending on the idea/character I may do m/m (but please, make sure you ask first!).

Regarding the above, I very much prefer the female role in m/f pairings but of course in m/m pairings I will play a male. I also find it interesting to write against more dominant male characters for heterosexual pairings, but that's certainly not required. I can totally get behind a shy sweetheart of a guy as well! In the end, it’s your character, so it’s up to you! I don't usually double in terms of each partner playing one male and one female, either - I know that is a deal-breaker for many, so I apologize for that. I may be willing to double in certain cases, but I’m not easily convinced - however, if you think you have mastered the arts of persuasion, then by all means, try to persuade me. I’m open to it.

I'm smut friendly as well and don’t mind including it in my roleplays, but it's really dependent on the content of the story itself. I don't necessarily want a story that is focused solely on smut, but I wouldn’t mind having it play a part (whether it’s small or large, that’s for you to decide). Going along with the NSFW theme, I'm all for most kinks - you name it, and more likely than not I'll be willing to write it, but I would still rather you check with me first. The only ones that I won't do and can't be convinced to do are pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, anything with body fluids, feet, pregnancy/lactation, vore, and gore. Everything else is fair game. Note that of those, gore and only gore is fine when not employed sexually (i.e. if the characters are fighting or in battle or are doing something violent of the sort, then it is totally fine). If you’d like to include smut, ask me for my list of kinks and share yours with me as well!

I use face-claims for all of my characters and only use realistic images.

I'm only interested in roleplaying over email at the moment. My email is [email protected].

What I'm Looking for in a Partner

Now that we've got those basics out of the way, there are certain things that I would like out of a partner that hopefully someone can provide!

Be 18+, please. I know I'm technically on the younger end of the adult spectrum but I still feel uncomfortable roleplaying with minors (especially because some of my plots can contain smut).

I would prefer if you were female, just because I am more comfortable roleplaying and writing with someone who is the same gender as I am, but that isn’t a requirement, as I don't want to totally limit the partners that reach out to me and potentially miss out on a fantastic male, nonbinary, etc. partner just because they aren't female.

I'm looking for someone who can at least mirror or match my minimum post length, so no fewer than 3-4 paragraphs or 500 or so words. Again, if you want to write longer replies that span the 1500+ word range, than that would be even better!

I would like if you wrote in the third person. Tense doesn't matter - write present or past, that's up to you. But I won't roleplay with anyone who writes in the first or second person, as it is a little weird to me.

If you can get me at least one post every other day, I'd be happy! If you can get me more than that, even better! Also, let me know if you're not going to be able to reply for a prolonged period of time so that I'm not sitting on my hands wondering where you went.

Likewise, if you want to drop the roleplay for any reason, just let me know! I won't be mad if it's not working out, I just don't want to be ghosted by someone who doesn't want to continue and instead never replies again.

If you can play multiple characters, that would be wonderful, but again, it's certainly not a requirement.

Use realistic face claims for characters, please! No anime or cartoons, but if you are an artist that has a more realistic style and would like to use your own art, then that is fine by me!

When you email me, let me know which things listed below interest you/you would want to include! Tell me a little about yourself and the way you write as well (including whether or not you would like to include smut in the roleplay as well as your limits if it's the latter).

Also, if you have an idea that I haven't listed, ask/tell me! I'm very open to suggestions!

Roleplay Information/Characters

On to the part that you've actually wanted to see! I’m not quite sure what to call this section, but it’s essentially a summary (more like bullets) of some characters that I already have ideas for that can be used in various different scenarios and plot-lines. They are in no particular order. If you are willing to let me use one of these, that will earn you major bonus points with me! Let me know if you are interested in any and I can elaborate. Most of them don’t have names yet (and the ones that do are subject to change) because I am very picky with names, aha, but I’ll think of those later. There obviously aren’t many of these at the moment, but there will likely be more of these added in the future. Anything with a plus (+) is one I am really dying to use! If you have an idea for/an already made character that you think would pair well with any of these, please describe them to me! Or, alternatively, if you have any characters you’ve been dying to use, let me know! Perhaps I can create a character to write opposite them. I'll note what type of relationship I would be interested in writing for a particular character (romantic/sexual, platonic, familial, or antagonistic) as well; we can also combine some of the four (like a romantic/sexual and antagonistic would be fun). I’m up for fluff or action or anything in between, so let me know what you want!

i. anny // female // early to mid twenties // heterosexual // asian // american // laid-back; quiet; passive-aggressive; collected, sly; manipulative; understanding; charming; grew up wealthy, still is wealthy, doesn’t bring up financial situation much; has danced in various genres since she was little, still does; english major, cognitive science minor; plays the violin; dislikes uncleanliness; editor.

ii. olson // male // mid twenties // bisexual, prefers men // caucasian // american // + // bitter; sarcastic; serious; aloof; intelligent; private; defensive; lost hearing in his early childhood, received cochlear implants in late adolescence, speech still sounds “different” from a hearing person’s; knows American Sign Language (ASL) and English; film/television production and mathematics double major, art history minor; likes maps; doesn’t particularly like physical contact; photographer [note: would prefer to write him against a character who is hearing and able to talk rather than another character on the mute/hard-of-hearing spectrum].

Contact

That's all I can think of at the moment! Again, if there's anything else not listed that you've been dying to try out, let me know! More likely than not, I'll say yes and jump right on board. Shoot me an email at [email protected] with your interests and a little information about yourself (ex: average post length, activity, etc.). If you shoot me a message just saying a pairing you were interested in without telling me about yourself, then I won't be as inclined to reply since I don't know if our styles would match up! So please, tell me about yourself - I promise I won't bite!

how did you come up with your style? how long it took? i used to draw a lot when i was a kid, but stopped drawing for about 5 years and only now i'm having more interest again, since i got an ipad pro + apple pencil and it's so easy to draw and stuff, but i feel like i never draw something of my own??? you know what i mean? i usually get inspired by other people's drawing and then draw something similar... please help a sister

Hi! I’m really flattered you would ask me this question especially since i’m no t the be st p erson tal k abo ut art s tyle. But I will try my very best to help and talk about some of my experiences. 

Alright, so first of, we need to understand what an “art style” is and what it sometimes indirectly implies. When I talk about “style” I’m thinking of art having a distinctive appearance that consistent, and a really developed/ unique one just screams the name of the artist when you look at it. 

So I don’t really have one, what I draw is a mixture of what I see, my previous experiences, the media I’m using, and the loads of artists I have been inspired by. Maybe the things I post here might appear to have some degree of consistency but I know I definitely don’t only draw like this, and categorizing the things I create in types of “styles” can dangerous and confining. If you put an apple in front of me and make me draw it, what I draw today will look different from what I draw tomorrow, or just a few seconds later. Unlike computers, we humans are incapable of replicating exactly what we did before (plus if you only draw the way you did before, how can you evolve and improve?!), it’s not a perfect reflection of what we see or what we imagine we see. 

I believe every piece of artwork we draw is an experiment, “what if I use my wrist more to create softer, rounder strokes?” “what if I use a but more rigid and angular ones here?” “what if I just replace lines completely using blocks of color?” “what if I use a vibrant color to outline this?” these questions guide me through my drawing process and what comes out is different. 

When you see artists create something and it’s consistent and beautiful and you can immediately recognize it, it’s because they’ve experimented so much and might just be content with settling down with a drawing process that is familiar and comfortable and likely incredibly relaxing/fun. Thus the fantastic style. But I personally don’t think there’s just going to be one day where you wake up and go like, mhm yup, that’s my style, nuh-uh, not ever going to change it, took me exactly 6325 hours to create it! To some this might be uncomfortable because there’s never a clear end goal in art, it’s endless and consuming. But thats where the beauty is, you can never be done exploring yourself and the world of “art”. (if you don’t believe me, just look at one of your favorite artists and scroll allll alllll the way back and just see how much their art has evolved and will keep on evolving) 

Forcing yourself to draw one way only, especially when your not completely happy with it, can definitely take the fun away, limiting your choices and making your art static. Please don’t be so influenced by “needing a style” and “having to draw and make my art look this one exact way” that you don’t branch out and let your art express itself. 

Also the fact that we sometimes can’t help but think of what other people want to see our art to look like, what’s expected of us. But what you draw is what YOU want to create, what YOU want to express, what YOU want it to look like. Not saying you should disregard what other people have to say because feedback is incredibly important, and a driving force to help us improve, but focusing too much on it can definitely bring lots of unintended stress and pressure. 

I get it. I really do. I’ve been having some trouble with my own art lately too regarding this because I just look at everything other people create and go like “I want my art to be realistic as heck like that!” “I want my art to be bubbly and cute like that!” “I want my art to look aesthetically pretty with those pastels like that!” “I want my art to have those strong expressive linework like that!” “I want my art to be minimalistic with vibrant colors like that!” “How in the world do they do that?!?” and here I am again in this endless battle against my own thoughts because there’s simply so so many different ways art can look like and I CAN’T JUST CHOOSE ONE. And even if you do it 99.99% of the times it won’t look the way you intend it to and you’ll have to try again. 

But it’s important to note that the process is valuable, there’s always something you’ll learn each time you draw, and enjoy it. Drawing only for the sake of “catching up to someone” or to “improve as fast as possible” is such relative and unreliable and fragile motivation. We all draw differently, how can you rate someone above another? Improvement will come naturally as you draw, forcing it will only make you more impatient. You’re only real competitor is yourself. I got discouraged so much before because I kept on thinking “I won’t ever be able to draw like that” and I really do regret those 3 years of my life where I technically “quit art”. Look back on what you were able to create a year ago, and look at what you can do now! Drawing because we want to is the only consistent reason that can keep us working hard but also having fun and loving every moment of it. 

Sometimes I just want that non-existent one definitive answer as to what my art should look like and who I should be as an artist but it just isn’t there. Art is such a broad notion, so so so many factors that can mold it to be ANYTHING. From the media you use, you’re creation process, the color choices (or no colors at all), what you’re feeling, what you imagine the end product to look like, everything and anything can leave an impression on what you create. 

And that’s why no. one. can. art. like. you. do. I can’t stress this enough. NO ONE can draw exactly like you do. It doesn’t even matter if you don’t have a consistent “style”, no one can mimic you exactly, because they’ll have to completely replicate your experiences, thoughts and feelings to do that. Everything you create is you’re own, even with all it’s inspiration from the world around us, to the artists you love. If it come out from your hands, it is yours, because no one can draw something exactly like it (ahem not counting art stealers but that’s something else)

Haha congrats on making it this far! I want to say, it doesn’t even matter if you can only draw stickmen because you can bet no one can draw a stickman perfectly fabulous like it. Even if you don’t like what you create, everything that comes from your hands is still yours and it is you’re time and effort poured into it. Don’t regret a moment of it. 

#also congrats of your ipad! seems amazing #again i apologize for the long long long response #asks #why do i do this #i keep on overdramatizing and going off topic #sorry anon #i promise to post something tomorrow while juggling all the work i've managed to ignore over the break #Anonymous

I'm so sorry, summer flew by and I can't believe it's almost September. :c But I'm glad to hear you're doing well, that's fantastic news!

*SOBBING*

IRIDAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! IT’S YOU AGAIN!!!!

*GLOMPS AND STAYS HUGGED TO YOU*

HM~!!!! ( ˙꒳​˙ )♡

FLOUR, HEWWO AGAIN!!!! IT’S SO NICE, IT’S SO GOOD, IT’S SO WONDERFUL AND CUTE TO SEE YOU AROUND ONCE MORE IWASNERVOUSTHATYOUJUST DIDN’T WANT TO TALK TO ME ANYMORE AND IWAS LIKE KASJDFKDLG LAKDJAD AAAH, BUT THEN YOU DROPPED BY AND SAID HI AND I SAID HI AND THEN YOU SAID HI AGAIN AND I’M 

SO HAPPY

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FLOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR!!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ

*STAYS HUGGED TO YOUR HEAD*

I’VE MISSED YOU LOTS, BUDDY!!!

Let us continue under the keep reading, okay? c:

That’s okay, Iridae! Real life happens and sometimes we’re just not in the mood for blogging, or any other reasons, so I truly understand!! Sometimes I do have the time to answer but prefer not to and do other things, if I’m honest. So I totally understand that summer flew by without you noticing! Especially summer, aah, you were free of routine I guess? So of course you would take it and do other stuff!! 

No worries, buddy, I’ve missed you a lot, a lot, a lot, and wondered where you had gone, but I didn’t want to pressure you or anything, because as much as I miss you I could also wait for you whatever it takes! I’m so happy to hear from you again ( ˙꒳​˙ ) ♡

GASPS

You got to travel!!! And see old friends!! FLOUR, BUDDY, THAT IS PHENOMENAL!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ

Traveling is one of the things that does best to the heart and soul, it makes you grow and learn and experience and that’s what life is supposed to be about! And getting to see old friends, that just adds so much, much, much more to the wonderful experience! Traveling, art, and friends make life so beautiful and if you have those in your life, even if just every now and then, then you’re living correctly

I’m SOOOOO, SOOOOO, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY TO READ ALL THIS, IRIDAE, THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I’m so, so, SO happy for you, buddy, I’m happy to know that you’ve been travelling and seeing friends and watching movies and everything. It means you’ve been mostly good, I assume? And having fun. That makes having waited for you so worth it, buddy, at least now I know that all the meanwhile as you were quiet you spent living life as you should and having fun :3

And you watched Christopher Robin!!! That is WONDERFUL! :D

Personally, I haven’t because I feel that it’s going to make me cry so much ahahaha ;w; Ever since I played XV, and it may sound exaggerated, but truth is that after it I noticed I’m TERRIBLE at handling all this “let go of the things you love” thing and I feel that I’m going to bawl my eyes out when Christopher goes back to seeing his friends (not sure what the place where Pooh lives in is called in english), and they welcome him back and haven’t forgotten him despite the decades in between and when he has to leave agAIN AND AKLSJFLAKDJG LKADGJAKLDGJ

I CAN’T 3

But I’m so, so, so, SO VERY HAPPY to know that you watched AND liked it!! :D Despite feeling like it’d make me cry, it does look like a very beautiful and very heartwarming movie, so no wonder you liked it so much!! :3

OH!! I hadn’t heard about Odin Sphere, so I googled it and it looks interesting! RPG, isn’t it? It looks sorta like something Kemco would do, etcetera. I bet it’s INCREDIBLE and lots of fun! o(>ω

Playing older games is AMAZING, there are SOOOOO many that are SO BEAUTIFUL. It wasun’t until two or three years ago that I first played Tales of Symphonia (a game…for Gamecube!!), and I love to go to this “mall” of sorts of gamers and otaku stuff where it’s like old game haven and roam through them. Sadly, I don’t have many consoles so I’m missing out SO MUCH stuff, but I love going through older games the type of Gamecube, Nintendo 64, etc. It’s in my plans to go see if I can grab Super Mario 64, lately I got a lot of nostalgia for it (and the Bomb Omb Battlefield theme, ahahaha), or see what other old game catches my eye :)

But I digress!

What I mean to say is, yes, playing older games but “new-to-me” is a wonderful experience, at least most of the times!! I’m happy it’s been a pleasant and wonderful experience for you too, trying out Odin Sphere. Sounds like a wonderful game and now I’m curious, as you said about the beautiful art and the engaging story hnhgfg. Glad to know you’ve been having fun with it!!!

AND READING IGGY AND THE BEAST!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It made me so happy, it truly has made my week so pretty, you have no idea :’3 

I’ve missed you lots, so I’m really excited and so happy to be talking with you again, my dear friend, you sweet creature, you!!!!

Even happier I feel at the fact that you’ve been having a good time. As I said, having waited for you has been SO worth it knowing that everything has been okay and that you were missing because you were living life and having a good time doing so, traveling, meeting friends, watching movies, and playing games. That is SO wonderful. I dont’ doubt downs happened too, but that’s okay! You “look” radiant in a very pretty way to me (as in how I sense you through the computer, at least), and you told me about wonderful things, so that’s all that matters

I’m so, so, SO HAPPY for you, Flour, so happy you’ve been okay and having good times!!!

I’m hysterically happy for me because I get to talk with my buddy again, and so happy for you for all the nice stuff you’re telling me about!! It’s WONDERFUL, Iridae, I’m so happy for everything, you have no idea!!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ

Hey hey hey, so I've seen your lack of Bokutoo art (or haikyuu art in general) and at first I was going to comment on it, but then I saw your art theft post and I hope that won't have too much influence on your haikyuu art? Of corse I'm gonna let you post whatever you'd like to post, I just miss it a lot y'know :0

Well. Okay, I’ve talked about this a lot but I understand people don’t just read all my answers and it’s totally my fault for procrastinating on that faq page so let me just go through this again in an as clear way as possible?

I haven’t stopped drawing for hq! As a matter of fact in the last week alone I have posted one, two and three things for that fandom for a total of five portraits and a three panels comic

That said I understand with the rhythm I update this blog you might think “well, that isn’t much at all, is it?”, which, again, is my fault because - even though when compared to most art blogs’ update schedules eight drawing in one week is more than enough - I’m the one who set the rhythm here

The “problem” with hq is that all my favorite characters are currently absent from the manga and there’s no anime airing, while at the same time my other main fandom (bnha) has both an interesting arc going on in the manga AND an anime season airing right now - I hope you’ll understand if my interest at the moment is mostly focused there, that’s a continuous stream of inspiration I have coming my way

To add to that some parts of the Haikyuu!! fandom are being unrespectful of what I post (this includes reposting, treating my stuff as if it were templates for their own art instead of ship/character specific content, honestly unrespectful comments and tags under a lot of my main ships posts and so on) which, you’ll excuse me, but dampens the joy I get from posting art a lot

Moreover, the creative side of the hq fandom is being, at least for what concerns the zones I frequent, pretty damn quiet lately, so I can’t say I get much inspiration from there either

I haven’t stopped and I can’t see in my foreseeable future myself stopping posting stuff for haikyuu!!, and all things considered I don’t think I’m posting too little for it either? Art and inspiration aren’t things I want to force, if I started I would stop finding drawing enjoyable really damn fast and I can’t let that happen - please be understanding, I first and foremost draw for myself, I can’t help it if sometimes I get stuck on one fandom or another

Anon said: Have you seen the latest chapter of haikyuu? I like how they are showing more Daishou. It’s fun to see his reactions and thoughts about nationals! And I will love to see him in your art style.

Anon, my friend!!! I have drawn Daishou in the past! As a matter of fact the last one was just after he appeared again in chapter 251! I love that snake boy a lot, seeing him there made me really really happy haha

Anon said:SAEKO NEE-SAAAAANNNNNN

SHE WAS AMAZING WASN’T SHE OH MY G O D !!!

Anon said:Kirishima and/or Bakugou being good at singing. And then gay happens.

BOI ANON I have drawn these boys singing to each other a whole lot already (like here or here) at this point I would assume you guys were fed up with it hahaha (… can’t say I won’t ever have them sing to each other again, though)

Anon said:DADZAWA IS SO REAL! But I’m actually so amused because Izuku is basically Ron Swanson with his “I can do what I want” permit except Aizawa wrote and signed the permit

No no anon it’s even better because Aizawa wasn’t like “you can do what you want” he was like “you can do only what I tell you you can do and it just so happens that I’m deciding that you can do exactly what you want to do but it’s still my decison” it was amazing lmao I love Aizawa so much poor man

Anon said:friendo, whats your opinion on the traitor kaminari theory? it breaks my heart but it has a good backbone to it?? like in the new chapter, theres a character that looks like kaminari’s dad/uncle/older family member and im worried for my electric baby

I still don’t think Kaminari is the traitor - as a matter of fact, I still don’t think the traitor is any of the kids. If that’s how it’ll turn out to be I’ll be sad about it, for sure, but right now I really, really don’t believe it. It’s true that the Kaminari-is-the-traitor theory is very cleverly worded and super convincing, but a lot of the things in it are really stretched out as far as I’m concerned

ie, taking the weird faces Horikoshi makes him make in the sketches and using them as proof that he’s got a double face? Too far out for me; his original design being that of a villain? Deku’s original design was villain-ish too, no one is calling him a traitor; taking the expression he made when Aizawa told him he could go to the camp and making it sound like he didn’t want to go? Might be believable as long as you don’t take into account the fact that he had just had a conversation with Midoriya in which he told him it was impossible Aizawa would let them go and that Midoriya was just being too optimistic, the “what the actual fuck is this” expression makes a lot more sense in that context; the fact that he makes clever quotes and uses a complex vocabulary used to say that he’s pretending to be stupid is unfair towards the very real possibility of him just not liking studying or thinking things through analytically but otherwise enjoying reading and being fairly intelligent in his own way?? - in the theory it’s also mentioned that it’s weird how during USJ he was worried about an electricity villain overcharging him as if that’s not perfectly normal, having an electricity quirk obviously doesn’t stop him from suffering overcharges, and later during the end of term exam they say it’s “weird” he refused to go all out with his qurik from the start, again, as if that weren’t a perfectly sensible decision in that context (you have to keep in mind that Kaminari is also studying to become an hero, him going “wait a second, maybe keeping on going stupid and putting myself out of commission every time I fight isn’t the right choice” is perfectly in line with him growing up and learning)

Now I don’t have the post open in front of me and it’s been a while since I’ve read it, but most of the theory as far as I get it is based on the idea that Kaminari can’t be lazy and an airhead and might talk without thinking now and again (the Stain comment), but at the same time be clever in his own ways, which just isn’t convincing for me. It’s taking this character’s three dimensionality and making it a plot-hole, why would you want to do that

(on a similar note, the Kirishima-is-the-traitor theory doesn’t convince me for the same kind of reason, it’s all based on the idea that he can’t just genuinely like Bakugou for who he is without having second reasons for it, which is just unfair and cuts too much off the personality of a really good, well written character)

As far as the new villain guy goes, I understand why most of the fandom might be weary and linking him to Kaminari, but we don’t know his color scheme nor his quirk and the pattern on his hair isn’t even a lightning bolt - Horikoshi has had to make up unique designs for a whole damn lot of characters, the fact that one random guy might have something similar to Kaminari isn’t really enough to make him his dad (again, it might turn out to be true, but in my opinion it’s still too early to make theories about it). Also, this guy is from the Eight Precepts. Weren’t you all trying to link Kaminari to the League of Villains? Isn’t the traitor supposedly tied with the League? How many people is this boy working for even

By the way, during the USJ attack the villains had informations they couldn’t have gotten from any of the kids aside from Midoriya (the “they told me All Might was getting weaker” comment) and tbh that’s enough for me to not believe any of the student is behind the informations leak, but all of this is just my opinion

Anon said:Your thoughts on mob psycho 100??

LOVE IT  one of the best anime I’ve watched lately, without any doubts

Anon said: Being a bokuroo artist? More like drawing art but every time someone says brOTP, you get steadily more annoyed, lol - love your art, btw; you have a really cute and fluffy style

Yyyyyyyyeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh… sadly you kind of grow used to it but it is incredibly annoying and one of the reasons why I’ve been drawing it less, t b h

Anon said:I love the concept of the bakubowl because unlike with other characters where everyone’s like “omf they’re so cute!!” the bakubowl is just “why is he like this. why do we ALL like him for this ffs”

WELP I don’t ship Bakugou with everyone so I can’t say I’m fond of the idea as a whole, and the ships I do ship Bakugou in are with the people that actually do like him for whatever reason (lmao), but I can understand why you’d find it a fresh take on the concept!
