Every once in a while we will read a fic where it's blatantly obvious that the author is deeply, deeply mortified to be posting A Fic Like This, where the mortification of posting that which they Wanted to write and presumably put effort into writing leaks right out into the fic to the point that it actively dilutes the emotional beats.
Like, you probably know the sort. It pulls its punches, even more so the more embarrassed the author is to be Writing Something, to the point that you can practically taste it in the writing - the author expects you to be just as uncomfortable with this as them, that the mere suggestion of something is so deeply Gross and Offputting and oh, it's weird of them to be even Considering writing this, that they pull back in actually selling the discomfort - that the prose grows oddly detached, telling rather than showing and cutting out reaction and follow-through and anything but the barest sketch of action.
The author's lack of willingness to follow through, their chains to the invisible audience in their head, actively impact the work, and purely to make it Worse - dulling the impact, dulling the edge, dulling the story itself until it says nothing but the echo of that invisible audience. It becomes less about what it is, and more a simple refrain. "I, the author, am afraid that you will read this and deem me strange and offputting and Bad", and that in and of itself offputs you from the story. The same impact as "oh this is probably bad", the same impact as "oh im inexperienced so don't expect too much of me aha", the same impact as talking yourself down for some illusion of Modesty.
It sucks to read. It, presumably, sucks to write. It also knocks us right the hell out of spirals on occasion because whenever we think poorly about our work remembering how much worse it gets if we pull back from what we want to write will knock us out of things enough that we'll start making an active effort to feel less ashamed of stuff we wanted to write or draw or whatever.
We should all get rid of the concept of shame entirely and just start making whatever the fuck is what we're saying we feel more secondhand embarrassment than we do firsthand nowadays and we want that to happen Less.

#we speak#misc.#writing#fanfiction#reading a fic where the author is clearly cringing away from their own premise. thinking to ourself wow we could write this way better#and it would also probably have more impact even if we made literally everything that happens here Milder#you could have more impact with a work where they never even touch hands if youre not embarrassed by your own premise#something something we may be cringe but youre embarrassed to write a fic where all they do is cuddle and talk about their relationship#and thats worse

Hello!! Finally!! Here is my final comic project for class :] And also the subject of my final major project: DEEP, a horror comic that’s basically a homage to my favorite horror movies and tropes! It’s a few months old already (Finished it in January 2022) and I kept debating how to share it (just post it or through a pdf) but I thought this way would be best!
I would have liked to have this post be able to have the cover and guards in their respective places, but unfortunately photo posts only allow 10 pics and thankfully the comic itself is only 10 pages long x) Either way, I hope you enjoy it!! I had a very limited amount of time to work on this but I poured my heart into it :] Wording might be a little funky as I originally wrote the script in spanish and then translated it to english, but hopefully it’s got the same impact
Here is the cover as well!! And ty for reading:

Mantis mob for the dye mod! This is a new mob that will attack and consume other bugs, and is (mostly) neutral to the player. The mantis can rarely spawn on the surface during the night, and they can spawn in dark oak forests at any time.
The mantis will attack the player if especially hungry or if they feel threatened, but will usually leave them alone. Mantises can be tamed if the player builds enough trust with it by bringing it bugs to hunt - this will allow them to attack and eat more types of hostile mobs, like zombies and husks. Mantises prefer to walk, but they can fly short distances if need be.

I guess these needs some context, they were both done half jokingly and seriously.
I would assume Muse will want to be buried next to her late husband once she passes on, and since there was no body to be buried they made a grave anyway out of respect and such. And so this scenario arrived.
Bad end Zommoth fight, but you know the Pokemon Creepy Pasta buried alive? Yeah I based the pose off of that lose screen. But I also wanted to draw the Zommoth.
Fun for the whole family. :)
#bug fables#art#Leif Visits His Own Grave our favorite activity for him to do#you were mourned. you were cared for. and yet nearly everyone who might know who you are is too dead to know you are still alive#we wonder if he eventually tells his family or if hes just gonna try and pretend hes normal for the rest of his life#anyways they call it fun for the whole family because the whole family is there. zommoth is included in this.#they fucking stole him from the family reunion and he did not enjoy it. he had little choice in the matter though#zommoth is so fun to draw that we keep like randomly generating new pieces of them#surprisingly popular at ATC meetups#anyways very cool art we're eating this
