reblog if you remember what it felt like to walk into blockbuster

[writing-and-roses]

(not including hurt/comfort because I think that one would win and it often includes both angst and fluff. Also not giving an 'other' option because I want you to choose xD)

#fluff all the way #i love angst but only with a happy ending #or if im in a really angsty mood #otherwise fluff #fanfiction

[writing-and-roses]

not to be boring but I like when evil characters…. well not become “redeemed,” more like they become domesticated. its just delightful when like an evil monstrous little bastard man goes from committing murder to getting mad someone misplaced their costco card or left the jar of mayo on the counter all day.

Hi, I'm Em ^^

My commissions are open and you can check out my current number of available slots here.

You can check out more examples of my art here and here.

Contact:

Email: [email protected]

This tumblr's DMs(although email is preferable)

I keep a waitlist for every coming month! If you'd like to be on the waitlist please contact me ^^

Payment:

Paypal invoices(only)

I request payment after approval of the initial sketch

If the sketch includes more than 3 characters or has a high level of complexity, payment is before the initial sketch is delivered (if you decide against getting the commission after the sketch, I'll return the value minus 10% for the sketch)

Relevant information and references:

Any images you may have of your character, people that look like them, clothes you'd like them to wear, anything pertaining to the piece, etc, will be useful!

Descriptions relevant to the character's appearance, personality, or to the piece itself are also helpful

I usually send the invoices myself, so it helps if you send me your paypal email either in advance or after I've sent you the initial sketch!

Do's and Don't's:

I'm alright with partial nudity and gore, but I don't do explicitly pornographic commissions.

I'm open to most things, but if there's anything you don't see in my previous work and are unsure about, feel free to ask if I'd be open to it!

On time:

The time I take to finish commissions can vary a lot depending on type and complexity of the commission. If you have urgency, please let me know beforehand!

DISCLAIMER:

I do not consent to the use of my art on any AI image generating programs, and doing so would be extremely unethical. This goes for commissioned work as well, since the copyright still belongs to the original artist.

Feel free to message me or hit me with an ask if you have any questions!

Thank you for reading! Reblogs are appreciated! ❤💕

Poison list

While it's important to approach writing with creativity and imagination, it's crucial to prioritize responsible and ethical storytelling. That being said, if you're looking for information on poisons for the purpose of writing fiction, it's essential to handle the subject matter with care and accuracy. Here is a list of some common poisons that you can use in your stories:

Hemlock: Hemlock is a highly poisonous plant that has been used as a poison in various works of literature. It can cause paralysis and respiratory failure.

Arsenic: Arsenic is a toxic element that has been historically used as a poison. It can be lethal in high doses and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and organ failure.

Cyanide: Cyanide is a fast-acting poison that affects the body's ability to use oxygen. It can cause rapid loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest.

Nightshade: Nightshade plants, such as Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade, contain toxic compounds that can cause hallucinations, respiratory distress, and even death.

Ricin: Ricin is a potent poison derived from the castor bean plant. It can cause organ failure and has been used as a plot device in various fictional works.

Strychnine: Strychnine is a highly toxic alkaloid that affects the nervous system, leading to muscle spasms, convulsions, and respiratory failure.

Snake Venom: Various snake venoms can be used in fiction as deadly poisons. Different snake species have different types of venom, each with its own effects on the body.

Belladonna: Also known as Deadly Nightshade, Belladonna contains tropane alkaloids such as atropine and scopolamine. Ingesting or even touching the plant can lead to symptoms like blurred vision, hallucinations, dizziness, and an increased heart rate.

Digitalis: Digitalis, derived from the foxglove plant, contains cardiac glycosides. It has been historically used to treat heart conditions, but in high doses, it can be toxic. Overdosing on digitalis can cause irregular heart rhythms, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances.

Lead: Lead poisoning, often resulting from the ingestion or inhalation of lead-based substances, has been a concern throughout history. Lead is a heavy metal that can affect the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, cognitive impairment, anemia, and developmental issues, particularly in children.

Mercury: Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that has been used in various forms throughout history. Ingesting or inhaling mercury vapors can lead to mercury poisoning, causing symptoms like neurological impairment, kidney damage, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal problems.

Aconite: Also known as Wolfsbane or Monkshood, aconite is a highly toxic plant. Its roots and leaves contain aconitine alkaloids, which can affect the heart and nervous system. Ingesting aconite can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and respiratory failure.

Thallium: Thallium is a toxic heavy metal that can cause severe poisoning. It has been used as a poison due to its tastelessness and ability to mimic other substances. Thallium poisoning can lead to symptoms like hair loss, neurological issues, gastrointestinal disturbances, and damage to the kidneys and liver.

When incorporating poisons into your writing, it is essential to research and accurately portray the effects and symptoms associated with them. Additionally, be mindful of the potential impact your writing may have on readers and the importance of providing appropriate context and warnings if necessary.

So I did a thing. This was supposed to be a quick sketch for the @linkeduniverse discord that devolved into me sitting at my tablet for a good 12 hours straight. Oops.

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.

24 non-romantic subplot ideas

Here are 24 non-romantic subplot ideas for your story!

- Real life gets in the way of the protagonist's adventure, causing them to have to take a step back (grades at school, layoffs at work, family member's death, friends and family's life events; like new relationships, weddings, pregnancies, illnesses, careers etc.)

- Not everyone roots for your heror, in fact, some characters might disagree with their ideas or be jealous and enforce their own way of action behind the protagonist's back.

- Pets! Give your pet their own little storyline, even something as small as trying to learn a trick or adapt to a new brand of food when their favourite one gets discontinued.

- A minor character organising an event that later serves as a setting for the main plot.

- Encounters with a wild animal.

- House-flipping!

- Bonding with a patient, employee or customer at work, who doesn't have anything in common with your character at first glance.

- Establisshing a fear or phobia in the beginning of the story only to overcome it towards the end, or use it for comedic purposes. (Think of Ron Weasley's arachnophobia)

- Friendship forming.

- Friendship falling apart.

- A long running rivalry between two of your characters.

- Overprotective parents.

- Pushy and expectant parents.

- Natural events or disasters. (Storms, tornadoes, floods, blackouts, fires)

- A character developing an addiction.

- A character developing a toxic trait.

- A character coping with traumatic events from their past.

- A character developing behavioural changes due to said events. (Great way to start negative character arcs)

- A character's sudden death by natural causes. (Heart attack, aneurysm etc.)

- A teacher or mentor struggling with issues at home but trying to conceal them at work.

- Your villain's right hand secretly planning to overthrow them.

- A character having secret meetings.

- A character running away from family or group.

- Having a hobby they are passionate over.

I’m so psyched to be launching NPA 2.0, and I can’t WAIT for you guys to get your hands on this one.

When we first launched the course last year (at half its current size!), we already had students who finished plotting their books in less than a WEEK, and then went on to finish their drafts in just a few months following. How freaking insane is that?

Sign up to my e-mail list through the [link here] or below to be informed as soon as this drops! (also, my email subscribers get all the exclusive details, discounts, and freebies first, so it’s worth being on it, if you aren’t already!)
