#beautiful #Trazyn’s ears and earrings are so pretty #I would wear those too

[zalmoxis-the-great]

OMG! Those are great !! Are Imeowtek and Szarawr the Purring King still fighting ?

I think Szarawr would be one of those Savannah cats (inspired by your drawings, they are super cute)!!! I also hope that he would be Sanguinius' outdoor cat half of the time and the other half he rules half of the nekon empire.

And I am dying, look at Orikan's kittens!!!! Did he had other litters with Szarawr when he was in his service ? Or how about with Imeowtek? Is one of his kittens with Trazyn, Vizier Mhelob ? He is a mix of the two after all.

Poor Trazyn, blazing 4/20 every day. I always imagine him as chubby too!!

releasing these into the wild i need them out of my mind

#idk how to draw digitally #but I am trying #yours are very very good #I need a hypoallergenic necron!!!!

Please share the cat lore !!!!

Orizyn feels like they would compare whose member is bigger and then "you come first and yours softens and I win" and then 💕💕💕

#A loving relationship if when both people win #whatever those two have is when no one wins #not them #not anyone watching them #not anyone that has to interact with both of them #only we win in this instance

Sending you some love too ♡

ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ your art is always a delight to see!!!!

Thank you!!!

Just sending you love. I know Archon left recently and I'm worried about my other favourite 40k artists now. So I just want you to know that you're fabulous, your art is fabulous, this fandom would be a much emptier place without you, I hope you are hydrated and happy today. 💚

Thank you 💚 luckily I’m not well known enough to draw any controversy or ire from chuds and I don’t plan on leaving.

If I’ve been posting less recently it’s just because of poor mental health unrelated to anything like that.

#and I think that you gave me the Orikan cat-bug #I used to see him as a snakey-snake #now I cannot think about him as anything but a cat #or #maybe a snake-cat? #10%-90% #=^◕⩊^=

[zalmoxis-the-great]

Good news! Orikan has two books that he features in.

Bad news! He still shares it with Trazyn!

Trazyn has so many appearances across different media and even a few short stories all to himself, meanwhile Orikan gets one book and has to share it with Trazyn. Somehow this is incredibly in character

#short story more like it #war in the museum

[zalmoxis-the-great]

#faking it til i making it#tbf ive literally written more about half the necron characters than GW has#thats just numbers#you're welcome james workshop

you ARE king dick of fanfic mountain, the silence and the storm is the pinnacle of necron fic and belongs in a museum, and your character interpretations are so compelling and sexy

Aw, thank you 🥰 Genuinely, I doubt my work ALL THE TIME, so your kind words mean a lot. I will happily donate this work to the Solemnace Galleries as a prime example of human weirdness and hyper fixation. (Orikan reads it and immediately smites me for that one scene with Trazyn y'all know the one)

#Ghost you are the filling of the Oreo cookie that is the necron Fandom #can I be a knight too ? #but like an Imperial Knight #cuz they look silly #The white part is the best part of the Oreo #I am willing to die on this hill

[zalmoxis-the-great]

A surprisingly mature response !

Orikan, being shown that it was Trazyn who had dragged him to the biotranference furnaces: I know what I have to do

what he actually did: accompanying Trazyn to the theatre and expressing his grievance directly and getting Trazyn's heartfelt apologies

that's what we call tsundere

#he is all bark #and (only for Trazyn) no bite

[zalmoxis-the-great]

@beril66 I did reach it, I about died ! Idk how I managed to miss it !!! I love this so much ! I wish I saw the tag sooner !'!

what if everything was the same but all necrons were cats🙀❓❓

#i legit couldn’t stop saying look at the tail/bby/toebeans #why is this so cute ? #(∩˃o˂∩)♡ #i about died from cutness overload

Happy one year anniversary, Ghost ! Yey, I am so happy you are writing! ♡‿♡

And that you had fun writing smut (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)

I hope that writing is at least as fun as reading your stories because they are always a treat!

One Year Fanfic Anniversary!

It is officially one year since I posted my first 40k fic on AO3 and really started putting myself out there in the online community (parts of it anyway). And I wanted to do a bit of a retrospective. Some stuff I learned about writing, fanfic, fandom etc.

it is much easier to start writing once you let go of wanting to get everything 100% “correct.” Characters, setting whatever. People don’t care nearly as much as your inner critic thinks. Or if they do…you can just disagree. It’s fanfic, playing around with ideas and interpretations is the point

i started writing with original work so transitioning to fanfic was a shift. But the things i learned about pacing novels are still invaluable. If you really want to level up your writing, definitely study how novels and short stories are structured

that said structuring a long fic is different from structuring the novel. Chapter releases mean each section almost becomes a short story in and of itself. This also means things get way longer than you expect (rip my word count)

referring back to the original texts often is 1) fun 2) helps you notice things you didn’t before and 3) helps prevent the spread of fandom misinformation. Cite your sources! Especially in Warhammer, our fandom infosphere is a mess

I don’t let the comments drive where my story goes in the broad sense, but they do influence certain details. It’s fun being surprised by what/who readers latch onto. And occasionally a comment has reminded me of something that exists I totally forgot about/didn’t even know. So I look super smart if I pretend that was my intention all along :D

Something should change between the beginning of the scene and the end. Internally or externally or both, something should be different

people did not bash me in the head with the judgement hammer when i decided to publish smut. This has been very liberating. Perhaps too liberating XD

smut is a great way to practice writing short stories. Sex has a clear arc (set up, build up, climax, come down), it is a great space for character exploration, it necessarily involves relationships between characters. and you only need a few scenes (often only one scene) so it stays short. This has been great practice as someone who could not write a short story to save my life

idk if this has mattered but i feel not allowing anonymous comments on AO3 has saved me a lot of grief.

carving out a small fandom space is the way to go. Curate your feed. Block liberally. Don’t engage with people who annoy you, it is not worth it

reblogging and interacting in the comments has been an awesome way to meet people. Highly recommend

Encouraging other people (especially newer creators) to create gets you more art so definitely do that (kindly of course)

robots really are sexy

#robots are very sexy #writing smut is surprisingly fun

Why am I seeing this only now ! I couldn't stop saying look at his tail for 5 minutes !@redsasexualdisaster, you are a genius ! OMG this is so good !

Zahndrekh/Obyron Shippers:

oh my god what if they fed robot pigeons in the robot park and did old man things together 🥰🥰🥰

Trazyn/Orikan Shippers:

KILL HIM AGAIN

#awww feeding robot pigeons #so soft #legit question #are Obyron and Zahndrekh #older than Orikan and Trazyn #being soft is a mental state anyway #<3

[zalmoxis-the-great]

I just accidentally deleted the draft I spend 6 hours editing on ao3.

This feels like the first time I spilled Nuln Oil.

#this is so cute #it is killing me #I keep noticing all those cute details #trazyn the infinite #orikan the diviner #he is holding his tail!!! #agahhhh #look at his squint
