I'm looking for a birthday gift for my nephew and some websites have super weird suggestions for a 6 years old
Why are they proposing so many Funko Pops ? I mean the kid started primary school today so I'm definitely not getting him a Red Hood figurine. Also while he likes rock music, I'm pretty sure he couldn't recognize Freddy Mercury
I also don't think a 1000 pieces puzzle of Hokusai's Wave is appropriate somehow
Or that "Fashion Designer Studio" drawing stuff. I mean, the kid's a better artist than I ever was but his interest for designer clothing is rather limited. His idea of fashion is a t-shirt with glitter on it and trousers with pockets large enough to store treasures (he's right)
I didn't expect so many chessboards either. I know a few people who've started playing that early but not that many
Also why so much text everywhere. He's learning to read, not taking advanced literature classes

I was recently gifted some Funko Pops and bought a few too. I enjoy taking pictures of them and adding backgrounds in Gimp to make wallpapers to use on my laptop.
Top to Bottom:
James “Bucky” Barnes (Winter Soldier) x Sam Wilson (Falcon/Captain America): I adore them together ever since they were stuck in the blue VW Beetle.
Freddie Mercury and Mr. Knight (Steven Grant): I don’t ship them…although I am sure they could have a bunch of fun if they so choose too lol. I don’t normally get single Funko Pops. My friend got me Freddie for Cmas last year and I wanted Mr. Knight from Moon Knight. Since they were the only single Funko Pops on the shelf, I put them together lol. I plan to add Bruno from Encanto soon.
Eddie Munson x Steve Harrington (Stranger Things): Like everyone, I fell in love with Eddie during season 4 of Stranger Things. Then I kept seeing fanart on Twitter for Steddie…and I fell hard. Add in some AMAZING AO3 stories and I was hooked. is your light on? by Adure https://archiveofourown.org/works/42500484?view_full_work=true Summary: "Tell me a secret." Steve says and Eddie shakes his head."Why would I do that?""I'll tell you one." Eddie looks intrigued, smirks in his direction. "A secret for a secret? Okay." He looks up. "You go first." (Steve always noticed Eddie. He's been there on the peripheral, easy enough to ignore. Until he's standing right in front of him, unavoidable. And then they collide over, and over, and over)

7, 23, and 29 for the writer asks?
Hi there!
Thanks for asking, these are very interesting! èwé
7. What is your deepest joy about writing?
Right now? Writing for the sake of it.
As per the last ask, I'm going to prose again after years of believing I sucked ad prose. Writing and posting it... It's great and it's happy and each single comment makes me so happy.
Also, the immediacy of it. Comics are LONG and difficult to correct. I love them and they're my favourite expression for but... Being able to correct a passage with two clicks, without doing collages or redoing something difficult...
*elated sigh*
23. Describe the physical environment in which you write. Be as detailed as possible. Tell me what’s around you as you work. Paint me a picture.
I'm at my desk with my laptop, it's a little dark wood dest in the corner of a room. Behind the screens there are 5 penholders full of various writing and drawing tools. Pencils crayons, coloured pens, brushes, markers, uni poscas. Also some knick-knacks: I don't really believe in crystals, but I like shiny coloured things. Under my desk lamp I have a pink agatha, it's oval and very smooth and I like to touch it, a labradorite with some lovely gold speckles, a small lapislazuli stone I bought from an Afghan stand in a fair in town which has the most wonderful, deep blue EVER. On the backwall are hanging poscards of Maigritte's paintings, from an exhibition I saw in high school and that I LOVED. Also a printed page of my comic The Last Bacchae that I made with one of my best friends and I like to see. Above, two bookshelves: on one there are my finished sketchbooks, some funko pops and Star Wars figurine (an Anakin watching over me, I'm particularly attached to his character), my glass case with my glass and some products to keep them clean, and a small box with the jewelry I use.
On my left there's my bed, a carpet and the door. It's closed, so there's a big Freddie Mercury watching over me (I have one Freddie Mercury in every space I'm in).
On my right, the window. It's night right now, I have blinders shut but some light from the outside courtyard filters through. Below the window, a small table with a stereo and way too many books. There's pile number 2 and 3 of books to read (mainly non-fiction), a box with my inks and ecolines, a couple of candles I like to light from time to time, and the stash of papers I use for comics, and the completed pages I have to scan/ink. On my back, a bookcase full of too many books, old university notes, drawing materials. And an acustic guitar lying over it, I should really play more (but I like ukulele best)
29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry?
Other books and movie I see, pictures I find on the internet, videos or things I see outside.
I majored in English Literature, so I tend to be more analytical than other people when reading books or watching movies. I think of what I liked about what I read, what struck a nerve, or what I maybe would have done differently.
Or a song that evokes a particular feeling or image in my head, that I thus fill and expand.
For illustrations, it's usually other illustrations, styles I'd like to come closer too, or photo references on pinterest or here as well music.
I rely a lot on music. I'll try to recreate a feeling or a scene. Often, I'll attach a story to it.
And that's how my eighty AUs were created.
When the inspiration runs dry I learnt long ago not to force it too much. Beside the fact that originality is a myth (no big author is truely original, they ALL took inspiration from someone else. It's normal and it's inconscious.), I like to just... Open pinterest, look at pretty pictures and study. Doodle something, no pressure.
Watch a movie. Have a walk. I'll see something that will strike my imagination and here we go again.
For some it may be harder and I won't give advices, everyone works differently. I just use creativity as an emotive outlet, I express myself that way. The times I was seriously art blocked where in university when I was really, really, REALLY stressed (and panicking). Everyone works differently tho.
