Hii! Idk if you’ve gotten this req before, but can you do the gang with an artist s/o? Thanks:)

↳10-4, no switichin’ sides!₊˚✧

—IN WHICH, the gang dates an artist s/o!

Johnny Cade ;

he loves watching you draw omfg.

he thinks your process is so cool!!!

tries to draw with you, but he gives up in the end and draws stick figures instead.

“what’re you drawin—oh.”

“i gave up, okay? don’t judge, y/n.”

if you draw him i think he’ll actually explode.

“whatchu drawin’ this time?”

“you.”

“what.”

he’s legit gonna be blushing so hard.

“re-really? can i see?”

“yeah.”

if you have a sketch book and theres pages full of him he might pass out.

he will pass out.

he’s just so flattered you’d draw him out of all people!

he doesn’t get it.

but, he loves your hobby so much and if you want to do it as a job one day, he’ll support you 110%.

Dallas Winston ;

doesn’t understand why you like art.

no matter how much you explain it to him, it’s like everything goes in one ear and out the other.

“plus, the finished product is always something gorgeous.”

“…i can do that if i take a picture, y/n.”

“yeah but, you don’t get that sense of pride.”

“i get that sense of pride when i beat the tar outta a kid. that pride don’t mean nothin’ to me.”

“…okay.”

if you draw him or he catches you drawing him, he’ll tease you so bad.

like actually, good luck bru.

“ouu, someones head over heels, huh?”

“a ‘good job,’ would also be nice, dal.”

“yeah, yeah. good job, sugar.”

if anyone else teases you about it? he’s onto them. they ain’t safe.

if you tell him like, anyone said anything bad about your art, he will go to jail for the 50th time.

he’s ready to go to jail for you, do not play with dallas.

if you want to make art your job, he still won’t get it, but he’ll let you because it makes you happy.

Ponyboy Curtis ;

when he finds out you’re an artist, he’s over the moon!

he’s so happy someone else can share his hobby :)!!

if you draw him something he likes, he’d probably hang it up in his room.

“i remember you saying that tiger lilies were your favourite flower, so, i drew it for you.”

“wow, y/n! this is really good!”

if you draw him, he will tear up.

he’s just so flattered you’d waste your talent on a guy with his looks.

“look, pony. i drew you! thought you looked real pretty in that lighting.”

“y/n…you didn’t have too.”

“but i wanted too! wai-wait are you crying?!”

“i’m jus—so happy.”

if you ask him for help, he will not sugarcoat shit. so, if you aren’t ready to hear the hard truth, i wouldn’t recommend asking him for help.

he will support you fully, no matter if you want art to be your life long passion or not.

Sodapop Curtis ;

thinks you’re the best artist out there, no joke.

he thinks you’re Picasso or something.

will not stop bragging about you.

literally, it’s all he talks about.

“dude, my partner does such good paintings. they’re beautiful!”

“i know, soda. it’s all you talk about.”

“so?”

if you draw him, he will show everybody.

“oh my glory, y/n! this is amazing!! i gotta show steve!”

“wai-wait, soda! it’s not finished!”

another one that will beat the shit out of anyone that bad mouths your art.

he isn’t afraid to sock someone in the mouth.

especially since it’s for you!

soda really wouldn’t understand if you wanted to art full time but he will be your #1 fan!

Darry Curtis ;

also..doesn’t get art..but he tries!

he thinks you doing art is fine but, why?

he’ll support you 110% you just, gotta explain to him.

“and also, because i just, love seeing the outcome after weeks or months of hardwork!”

“oh, makes sense.”

if you draw him something, he’ll fold it up and put it in his wallet.

he looks at it when he has free time at work and just smiles.

if you draw him, he might MIGHT just smile, teeth n all in front of the gang.

“this is, stunning, y/n.”

“yo, what the fuck?”

“holy shit, they made darry smile.”

“dude, go tell him your gay he’s in a good mood.”

“I’M NOT GAY, STEVE FUCK OFF!”

Steve Randle ;

he is obsessed with your works, oh my lord.

he will not stop looking at them if you give him one.

“wow.”

“is, is it good?”

“it’s wonderful!”

similar to his best friend, he also doesn’t shut up about you.

literally.

“and then they painted this cat and dog, and it’s so pretty.”

“you told me this, steve.”

“did i?”

he will not hesitate to throw hands in your name.

“ew.”

“what d’ya mean, ‘ew?’”

“i mean, ew. it’s just so ug—“

knocked out, on the floor.

Two-bit Matthews ;

he is so proud of you.

‘so proud,’ is an understatement, though.

he loves any and all of your artwork.

if he finds something from when you were 5, he’d still love it.

“i love the colours in this!”

“i made that in like 1st grade, two. what?”

“oh. it’s still super good!”

“did you just compare my work to a 1st graders?”

“…i ain’t mean it like that.”

another one who is willing to go to jail for you.

he will knock out a bitch for you.

he can, and he will.

if you draw him like mickey or something, he’ll love it forever.

“here. i know you like mickey mouse, so.”

“AHHH—this is amazing, y/n!!!”

he’s fangirling.

I think Hugo and Richard need to work together.

Hi my dear 🤍 and thank you for throwing yet another opportunity in my direction to talk about my main and my side-obession in one post 👀

Please hold the line, I need to process my immense love for men venturing out into fruity/feminine fashion, I'll be right with you 😀

Ok, now that's better 👌🏼

I think so too! And maybe they would get along well. You will laugh, but my delusional mind immediately draws some similarities between them (eventhough they have pretty different characters) - most likely just because they're both artists and I have a thing for them, but still.

Both Richard and Hugo were determined to become an artist from an early age on - Richard telling others as a child that he'll become a rockstar when he grows up, Hugo stepped foot out of school and went straight into acting school without looking back. While both being immensely successful in their respective careers - Richard having world wide success with Rammstein and is filling stadiums year after year now, Hugo quite literally hopping from one modern classic to the next (Lord of the Rings, Matrix, The Hobbit, V for Vendetta, Priscilla and more), both make indications that they kind of prefere the quieter/more simpler surroundings. Richard emphasizing several times how he would like to do a more toned down stage performance to give the music more space (I have an ask about it here), Hugo prefering smaller sets more than the immense big ones like LotR and Matrix and finds a lot of joy in theater acting (more raw and direct than movies). Both really live for their familys - in the linked interview Hugo mentiones he would gladly give his career up for his family and rather stays in Australia than to move closer to Hollywood (which he isn't a big fan of anyway), Richard moving back to Berlin to ensure a proper surrounding for the upbringing of his child as well as gathers his loved ones around him a lot.

And especially, both are extremely passionate about their work and can get quite intense about it, and while watching and reading interviews, you can immediately recognize their drive and passion. Which ultimatively is one of the things I absolutely love in people the most, and draws me to them most of the time 😊

And they are kind of a tiny bit connected! 'Du hast' was included on the soundtrack of the first Matrix movie (only on CD, not in the movie itself) in which Hugo played the infamous role of Agent Smith.

In a parallel universe, like in a 'Richard ventures out as a producer and cinema-lover into the world of movies'-AU (producing a movie, writing music for it, etc.), maybe they really could work together 😅 And Hugo once mentioned that he really likes Berlin due to the vast amount of different theaters the city has to offer 😊

Oh, and some more compelling arguments in my eyes regarding silly similarities (mentioning them just because i can):

Both have no problem dressing up in women's clothing and seemingly find a LOT of joy in it (like you already shown so beautifully in your ask 🙏🏼):

Both also have absolutely no problem going all in when it comes to kissing their male counterparts:

And both have an ass that won't quit, this is beside the point but still:

(gif sources: x, x)

All in all, thank you for coming to my delusional TED Talk about the several connections between my two favourites I made up in my unhinged little mind 🤝🏼

#ask #a long post. yet again. which most likely nobody will read but i have so much fun writing my silly little brains out on here #thank you so much for enabling me YET AGAIN #SORRY DEAR MUTUALS i will not shut up about these two in the near future #richard kruspe #Rammstein #hugo weaving

260: Buddy Holly // Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits Buddy Holly 1967, Coral

As with following any artist who died young, being a Buddy Holly fan is like doing one of those connect-the-dots drawings where they give you part of the image and you fill in the rest as a wireframe. There isn’t a shortage of material exactly—he’d released 50 or so songs by the time he died in February of 1959, and recorded enough that “new” Buddy Holly records ensured he was a regular presence on store shelves well into the late ‘60s. But his literal absence gives all these assorted cash-in repackagings a fanfictional quality, exercises in instant nostalgia. As a fan, you can choose between seemingly half-a-dozen sensationally overdubbed versions of a song like “What to Do,” each based on a hushed demo he’d recorded on an acoustic guitar in his apartment; you can even decide that that set of demos, which are admittedly exquisite, represent the “true” Buddy, even though the singles he signed off on in his lifetime often had plenty of bells and whistles.

youtube

The fact is, we can never know where Holly might’ve gone as an artist, no matter how assiduously we sift through the pile of variously-incompleted sketches he left behind. Grim, unromantic precedent suggests we lost out on perhaps three to four years of his prime. Among the early prodigies of rock ‘n’ roll, none had a run of greatness much longer than six or seven: not trailblazers Berry or Little Richard, not the King, not even a singular songwriting genius like Orbison. Most of them rarely even managed a memorable single once they’d moved past their primes, let alone albums (with all due respect to the Everlys’ Roots and Bo Diddley’s The Black Gladiator). Perhaps something in the effort of instantiating a brand-new genre burns an artist out more than the work of refining one with an established foundation. Regardless, the shapes of these primordial figures in rock and roll are detectable again and again throughout the music’s history; for a rock fan, discovering the recordings of a Buddy Holly is one of those Rosetta stones that helps translate and connect so many of the currents you’ve followed in your own listening journey. He’s dissolved into the body and blood of rock like some bespectacled divine sacrifice.

But before he was dissolute, he was his body of songs. I don’t own either The “Chirping” Crickets or Buddy Holly, though both are great records and contain a good number of his classic songs. I also don’t own any of the more comprehensive retrospectives (of which 1979’s six-LP The Complete Buddy Holly is probably still definitive) either. I’ve just got this basic as mish Greatest Hits from 1967 and… that’s absolutely fine! It’s well-sequenced, has no bad songs, hits a lot of the absolute peaks, and even includes my preferred overdub of “What to Do.” It necessarily lacks many of his essentials, but in terms of single LPs you can find for like $1 in the year of our lord 2024, the list of records with more bang for your buck is short indeed. If Holly’s yet to hit for you, the hoopla can admittedly be a little perplexing, but take it from me: if you’re wired for rock music, you’ll get it one day.

260/365

I have some more smokeybat headcanons, got inspired now

#. Sam gets a big crush on Uzi, he wants to try impress her and hang out with her. So he tries asking her out whenever he can, Uzi oblivious to his crush agrees and hangs out with him a lot.

#. Uzi shows him anime and he ends up liking anime quite a lot, his favourite type being chill slice of life or the cooking anime. Makes him jealous they can't eat like humans can

#. He makes her a badge of their favourite anime character for her to wear on her beanie.

#. Sam is a talented artist and has a sketch book full of drawings and abstract work too. When he on magnets is when some his most colourful work is done. He has a very detailed drawing of Uzi he keeps special. It's of her in class reading, she looked so pretty that day.

#. Sam got a bit jealous when Thad started talking to Uzi , he could see Uzi seemed to like him a bit and was a little sad by that. He got more upset when N showed up because he could definitely see Uzi big crush on him.

#. He talk with Uzi about N and he encourages her to tell him how she feels, being a wingman.

#. Sam writes a love note to Uzi along with a drawing and sends it to her anonymously, hoping to impress her. He was too scared to sign it.

I have more if you like to listen to it

i am SO sorry for taking so long on these lmfao???? i really wanted to think abt these. tysm for sending me all of these delightful thoughts to grab and run with i would absolutely be willing to hear more

1 + 5: it was a crush that's been there since the begining, uzi was always kinda cute and charming, the way she interupted class with sarcastic wit on occasion, the way she would go above and beyond what the assignments were just to have her own fun. sam has always been the more quiet, shut in type, always following rules, never usually being the type to speak up or make a sound, but whenever uzi does something particularly silly he can't help but laugh a little (and boy shes a whole fucking circus so lemmie tell you). though he had to eventually start making moves once thad god involved.

for the record, i do NOT ship thad n uzi, i get it as a ship, but it just aint my thing, however im a big fan of unrequitted love, and i can absolutely see uzi just not being interested in the popular jock type (shes more into the silent stoner type COUGH COUHG(J)), seeing thad as more of a close friend due to him being so caring when no one else seemed to be.

unfortunately for sam the only time he was able to fully talk and get to know uzi was AFTER she was already introduced to his oil (lmfao)

2: this dude wants to eat so bad, let this man manifest some robot mac n cheese for his ass. its not 'hunger' but its like, some fuckin program malfunction due to the magnets that you could compare to stoner munchies but lord does he get angry when uzi puts on a ghibli or some shit and they start makin ramen or some shit.

on the topic of anime tho uzi would absolutely be into anime and try and get sam (and by extention N and possibly V) into anime

current hyperfixation is firmly beliving shes be a nutcase over jujutsu kaisen (would love the curses and their vibe of 'we wanna take over humanity' but the humans are pretty cool too she GUESSES) but i think shed also be into shit like kill la kill, evangelion, maybe even a smidge of ouran on the side bc damn it she wants to be surrounded by a buncha cute boys (and low and behold be projecting trasmasc feelings onto uzi but boy she'd feel a sense of 'man i bet i could pull off a suit' and she WOULD)

3 + 4: him being obsessed w/ drawing n stuff is honestly a small headcanon i had personally!!!!! glad its a thing for another person ugh (positive) he would totally pay attention to the characters she hyperfixates on and go CRAZY making her posters and small keychain hangers and such (probably has an old laminator in his house that he uses to seal the all to keep them from getting ruined). i like to imagine he likes to draw/paint skyscapes, trying to find really interesting cloud formations or spots where the moon shines through them to draw cuz he thinks that kinda shits beauitufl, would absolutely love earth sky's so fucking much let this man see them

6 + 7: N IS BEST WINGMAN. i ship all of them together in one homoginous poly so i can confirm this happened and it was real. would absolutely help sam before he even considered allowing his feelings for uzi show

#fitz posting #fitz answers shit #murder drones #md #sam murder drones #uzi murder drones #n murder drones #smokeybats #bluntbiscuits #smokeybiscuitbites #these drones take up!!!!!!!!!!#my brain space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

18, 22, and 29 for the fic asks, please!

18 - Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

Oh this so, so depends on the fic, in part because every once and a while an excellent title descends upon me early in the process and also if I'm working on a fic for a while I have more time to think.

Usually my fics start out with placeholder titles that are whatever came to mind when I first saved the document; I'm yet to have one of those graduate to being a final title but that's partially because they're all things like this:

...and are often tonally different than what I'm actually going for.

As far as where my titles end up actually coming from, poems are a common culprit; I've got one or two song lyric ones, and some inspired by various other cultural references (ranging from like... pop cultural to Biblical). I tend to try to work in some wordplay, irony, or symbolism where I can, and love a title with layers.

Breaking down a couple recent ones:

Beharren ist eine Kunst -- German for "Persistence is an art," stemming from the longer proverb "Anfangen ist leicht, Beharren eine Kunst" (Beginning is easy, persistence an art), works particularly well for a story about an artist where "Kunst" doubles as a bit of a play on words.

Stemma Codicum -- A textual criticism term referring to the chart that can be drawn of different manuscripts relationship to each other (what was copied from what, where changes entered into the manuscript transmission process, and etc). Worked really well for a Pentiment fic about three "alternate timelines" all branching from a single change at a specific point in canon -- manuscript transmission as a metaphor for those critical points in people's lives that manage to change everything!

Long Upon the Land -- A tongue-in-cheek reference to Exodus 20:12, which reads ""Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee"," as a title for a fic in which a character with an overbearing abusive father contemplates art and things that can outlast us across generations. Really loved the irony with this one, it's one of my favorites I've come up with in a while.

Needless to say they draw from all over the places, but I feel like between them it's pretty easy to get a feel for what I like in titles.

22 - Are there certain types of writing you won’t do? (style, pov, genre, tropes, etc)

I don't want to say there's for sure something I won't do, just because it seems like there's exceptions to everything (Pentiment wrung a "Major Character Death" warning tag out of me which is a new one!), but in general I am pretty allergic to most romance tropes. I'll write romantic relationships -- although my fics rarely center on them, but that's one of those things I'd be willing to assume might have an exception one day -- but when I do, they tend not to be particularly trope-y. There's just a lot of amatonormativity steeped into ideas like soulmates, fake dating, etc, and I'm not interested enough in them to consider ways to rehabilitate them in my own writing. I am but a tired aro and while it means I'll never write the most popular fic in any fandom I'm in, I get by perfectly fine in my little gen niche.

I'm also not a big fan of writing in first person (reading can go either way! I'm less into it in fic unless the canon itself is in first person, but fine with it in original fiction), but even that one has an exception on the horizon! If and when I finally write my TOH Sherlock Holmes pastiche, it'll probably be in first person, to mimic the original source material. So really that's a great example of why I have a pretty solidly "never say never" stance on most non-romantic tropes and devices.

29 - What’s your revision or editing process like?

I have a horrible confession to make. I edit as I go. My terrible perfectionist brain struggles to make peace with messy first drafts, and while I'll often give things a final, editor's eye read-through once I've finished writing, the bulk of my editing happens on repeated re-readings of the material throughout the writing process.

This is not a good way of doing things and I would love to break the habit, particularly since I think it would result in me writing more and faster. Do as I say, not as I do, everyone.

Ok so heres a little analysis on one of my favourite fan comics ever, the path to freedom, drawn by Creantzy, my favourite artist ever who I honestly look up to art wise (I don’t post my art but I draw a lot too haha) love their art style and they have such based taste in shows-

Now, onto my analysis!

Starting with the characters

So when it comes to the way Creantzy portrayed Kolya, I find it very charming. He’s similar to the way he normally is in the manga and show, yet his base principals are different, or rather, reversed. As Creantzy mentioned themselves, the comic version “Seeking the truth vs seeking a chosen illusion, that's their difference”

Now some of my own observations about not only Kolyas character, but about the way the priests manipulation works are: back in part 3 you see Kolya trying to talk about the church and the priest, and his eyes turn green and blank as he says things he doesn’t agree with, yet he tries to pull himself out of it and speak of his emotions towards knowing that he's being brainwashed. But at times he switches back to that brainwashed state, truly demonstrating how you really can’t tell which thoughts are his own and which are planted, to the point he can’t even trust god. He doubts his own beliefs because of the priest's manipulation, also showing the toxic reality of being manipulated in the real world, and how it affects a person to the point they doubt their own strong beliefs. When Kolya says “I’m a filthy sinner” you can tell those aren’t his words, from the green, and that the priest is manipulating Kolya into believing that him doubting his beliefs and trying to deny the priest's manipulation made him a sinner. Kolya has gotten to the point of distrust that he can’t trust his feelings anymore because if his thoughts are being manipulated then feelings, which are in themselves a form of thought, are also being manipulated so that he can’t even find truth in himself. If there's nothing he can trust whatsoever, there's no point in living, and he wishes to be free from it all, just like in the manga/anime where he says he wants to be as free as a bird, and how earlier in the comic he said he would write in the book, a pair of wings, so he could be free and fly away from this place. Kolya is in himself terrified at the thought of not having free will. Kolya really only trusts Fedya, and I assume maybe because Fedya’s confident and doesn’t seem to be bound to anything. As to say that Fedya doesn’t find himself bound to the fear and controlling aspect of religion, and holds himself rather well, along with being incredibly smart and emotionally aware. He also lent his ear to Kolya from the moment they met and never once doubted what he told Fedya, something I don’t think Kolya must have gotten the chance to do back in his village where everyone is brainwashed too. I can imagine Kolya trying to tell his own parents that they're being brainwashed by the priest and his parents yelling at him and calling him the same words that the priest must have embedded into the minds of all the brainwashed. That anyone who doubts the priest is a “filthy sinner” I can imagine that “against god” is another saying that's basically written into the brainwashing code, since the priest clearly thinks of himself as god, with people worshipping him under the mask of them worshipping the lord.

Now I’m gonna ramble about part 5 too for a minute.

In part 5 Fedya asked Kolya just how far he’d go for freedom, in which Kolya replied that he’d go very far, including as far as to kill a man, thinking that bending and conforming to the fear of going to hell is in itself brainwashing. He’d rather go to hell by his own accord thento just be sent there, and he also said that he liked the idea of rebelling against god himself, despite how evil Fedya’s plan was. I personally think that Kolya was attracted by the idea of rebelling against god because of how controlling and brainwashing religion is, and that if he truly wants to be free, going against those divine powers really can prove to him just how free he is. He’s tired of being controlled by the priest and being controlled by fear (whether that be of hell or of god) is the same thing, and is not truly freedom.Fedya says the priest is foolish because of how he relies on his ability heavily, never learning much about human psychology (this was mentioned in the notes in part 7) The priest’s ego is so inflated that he can’t see that he isn’t in fact god.

By the way, before I talk about part 7, I gotta mention that I love the change in the cover page, now having Kolya covered in blood, since he kills the priest in this episode.

As mentioned by Creantzy, “When he was suddenly in a different room, his confusion was supposed to be bigger than his fear, so that when he asked Nikolai what had happened he wouldn’t use his ability on him since he wanted the true answer to his question.”

This in my opinion is just such a well thought out plot point, that makes so much sense it makes me giddy with joy! This way, it gives Kolya the little opening he needs to kill the priest. The priest then also got confused when Kolya said that the lord had shown him, giving a chance for Kolya’s lovely, satisfying one liner.

“GO TO HELL!!!”

Now, I love my little delulu Fedya, but as delulu as got towards the end of his speech, he raised a couple of very good points, all which loop back into the cycle of sin that Kolya’s church represents, and how, as humans, we will never truly be free of sin, as it’s in our nature as humans with free will. Free will often means that some people will use that for bad, and in this case, and specifically for Kolya (and ofc Fedya but focusing on Kolya), being bad is *true* free will, and *true* freedom. Also that crime and punishment reference…I see you. Can't talk about sin as Dostoyevsky without the classic Dostoyevsky. (Rodya my bbg 🥰)

Now Fedya joins Kolya all covered in blood, fyolai canon??

Now everyone starts violently dying, and we see Fedya’s ability in live action. And I love, by love I mean LOVEEE, Fedya crossing himself and praying as he commits mass murder. And how the prayer is written in cryllic, (my russian tutor would be so proud of how I tried so hard to read it before only making out one word and giving up-) it was a lovely detail that probably isn’t as big of a deal as I find it to be. But now also back to Fedya crossing himself in the light of the screaming: I think it really shows how delusional Fedya is, thinking that he really was sent by God as one of the few sinners who are there to cleanse the rest of the sinners. He saw no difference between men, women and children, deeming them all in need of cleansing, since that was his job, entrusted to him by God. I also think his delusional mindset must stem from a childhood where he basically had “gifted kid syndrome.” Where his mother, father, teachers and church must have told him he was “super smart” and “special” and “different from the others” leading him to truly believe that he is fundamentally *different*, even though he’s just a regular human. He would never get along with other kids and the only thing that made any sense to him was that he was just born different. And so that must have been god's message, he must have been born that way, since god wanted him to be different, and not get too close to other “normal” people so that he could carry out god's wish for him. Since he was born so smart and helpful, yet no one liked or understood him because of this, so he convinced himself it must be better this way. So Kolya, who seemingly was the first he ever let that close, his first real friend, the first person who understood him and trusted him, really meant a lot to Fedya. Key word, MENT, because CREANTZY decided it was a masterful idea to MURDER KOLYA!!! LIKE TF BESTIE??? Part ten brought me physical, emotional and mental pain, and I will forever cry over them.

Furthermore proving that artists and authors thrive off of their fan bases suffering.

(I am not excluded, I just don’t post my writing cuz no one reads it)

Fedya really wanted to free Kolya, and help him heal. Yet Kolya had the intention to kill himself like this, I’m assuming, since hearing Fedya’s plan. He wanted to do something unscripted, something outrageous, something to prove he wasn’t getting controlled, and that he did this of his own free will. Besides, Kolya was far too far gone, already succumbing to his lack of trust and belief that nothing in the world will ever make him free. Again these are the real effects of manipulation on a real human, (I should know 🤭) and if you get to such a point of no return, as Kolya was, he only found his freedom in the free will of ending his own life. I think that Kolya mentioning that he didn’t want to live in a world of ability users like that, who all have the potential to control him whenever, kinda ties to how Fedya’s goal in the manga/anime is to use the book to rid the world of the sin that is ability users. Fedya had always considered Kolya as very similar to himself, being one of the extraordinary, yet Kolya himself never even wanted to be one of the extraordinary. Now I was sobbing and kicking the bed crying when Kolya said he was nothing but Fedya’s “dear friend” since I know that to Fedya that must mean so so much more. Fedya had no friends ever, so having one just to lose him like this must have totally crushed him.

NOW THE FACT THAT MOLYA IS REPLACED BY A BLOOD SPLATTER IN THE PART 12 COVER IS PURE EVIL, WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME!!

“I wanted us to become partners in crime, and work to fix this world together. I will not allow myself such wishful thinking again.” Clearly the loss of Kolya changed Fedyas mentality, really reaffirming in his mind that as one of the extraordinary, he is not allowed friends or partners to assist him, by the hand of god himself. As one of the extraordinary (Fedya delulu again) he cannot afford such things, but really it's just that he doesn’t want to replace Kolya too, even saving him a place by his side, so that he can write him back into existence. Fedya plunged into solitude and studying once Kolya died, leading him to learn things about abilities manifesting from trauma and that Abilities are innately sin, and will only cause more suffering. So now he references back to his canon goal, yet here, I think it's fully inspired by Kolya’s words, and only fuelled by Fedya’s delusions that he is sent by god as an extraordinary gifted.

Anyways, that's the end of my analysis!

Thanks so much Creantzy for making such a captivating and beautiful comic with my favourite boyss! The plot was excellently thought out, written and wasn’t told too fast or too slow, just perfect. I like to head cannon that Fedya comes to talk to Kolyas grave regularly, and have regular chats with him about anything and everything, because when he writes him back to life with the book, he will remember it all, and it’ll be as if they’d been together all that time- Idk tho!! I’m excited to read more on Fedya’s backstory though, so far all my guesses were right, he's a little gifted prodigy child whose parents always told him he was special and so he had no real friends and felt super disconnected- me too buddy, me too 🫡 and I loved all the mtp william references in his childhood, he’s such a william kinnie in the canon anyways, your just doing it justice.

ANYWAYS IF YOU READ THIS, I LOVE YOUR ART AND WRITING FLOW, IT'S SO GOOD!! Look up to it a lot, I use your art as one of my references for the art style I’d like to have someday, just of course mixed around with other artists I like and then made into my own thing! Thanks a lot for encouraging the idea of this analysis too!!

This felt more like a rant really but, I hope you find it amusing haha @creantzy !!

#notice me senpai #🥺#JUST JOKING #I’m not weird I promise #I’m rly not even gonna bother tag this lolol #rice dying #bsd

In defence of art that no one sees

I'm having a lot thoughts emerging from @koyoba's Twitter thread about how social media has made the experience of fiction a compulsory public practice, and how it's been leveraged as "organic advertising"--but specifically on the subject of fanart.

I used to force out fanart for exposure. I spent literal years playing to the algorithm: I'd see that a work of fiction I liked was popular in the current zeitgeist, and think, "an opportunity to earn Social Media Points and get more visible!" Around 2014-2016, I made it a personal rule to post at least 2 pieces of fanart a week.

And like, it worked. I got thousands of followers out of it. I was a half-competent artist, had ideas, and did sincerely love those stories--and also very much felt a need to capitalise on that love. So a lot (not all, but a lot) of the fanart I made began as a fleeting thought, inflated into a full project solely by the prospect of likes and shares.

This tendency is made quite clear when I think about what stories I chose to make fanart for. Steven Universe and Homestuck? I loved them both, and both had very active fandoms, so I spent years of my life making fanwork--there was an ecosystem, a captive audience. But my actual favourite works of fiction--typically standalone films (Inception, WALL-E) and books (Lord of the Rings)? I quietly read, watched, revisited them for years without drawing a single thing for them. Fanwork production was not my default mode of engagement with stories I liked--it was one I was slowly absorbed into as I observed these active networks of shared imagination and the resultant high levels of engagement. The first few pieces of fanart were always sincere, and then it gradually lapsed into the territory of obligation.

It was such a dishonest reflection of the pattern of my interests, though. I've rarely stayed at the "actively conceptualise and make fanwork" phase of fiction investment for more than a year. It's just not how I work. I skate from one story to another, and eventually end up back at my own narrative projects, which are infinitely more rewarding to me.

But other people do find an equal fulfillment in fanwork. In the past, I'd come back to someone's profile years later and be surprised that they were still actively producing fanwork for it. Now I understand that this is because the niche filled by original work (for me) is where fanwork sits in many other people's creative repertoires, and I respect that completely--this post isn't about those people or a criticism of their work.

But also, and here is where I would broaden the scope a little: fanart is heavily incentivised over other kinds of art. (Specifically fanart, I don't think fanfiction has quite the same sort of ecosystem.) It's free advertising for franchise fiction--consider how Overwatch's publicity managers released character sheets, hired cosplayers to dress as their characters, and generally supported fan work--it's a seemingly benevolent gesture, but it is also very much an advertising strategy that works. Organic, word-of-mouth publicity. Publishers, social media platforms, and even we ourselves, have a vested interest in keeping franchise fiction in the minds of artists and rewarding the production of fanart: it's "content" that'll get clicks, impressions, followers and ultimately money for everyone along the food chain of creation and dissemination.

And when the algorithm is designed to amplify click-attracting content, art that people can consume and forget quickly become orders of magnitude more visible than art that means something to just a handful of people (sans any additional effort to research and bond with it). With fanart, there's no barrier to entry, since you already know the characters and relationships--no need to find out more and form a connection with the work they're from--and you can simply hit "like" and "share" and get the full experience out of the art within a minute. And it becomes so, so much more popular.

And this wouldn't all be so insidious if we (or at least I) haven't been trained by these platforms--by unread badges, push notifications, follower counts--to crave engagement. I've felt the pull of that compulsion, to make more fanart I don't really care for, every time I wake up to hundreds of interactions on fanart I posted months ago and none on original art I posted the day before. Or every time I post original art and lose a follower. The numbers get translated in my mind into relative indicators of like/dislike. So just like people repost comedic or outrageous takes because they get popular, I (and surely people like myself) make more fanart than I would if it weren't incentivised by revenue-motivated social media algorithms.

I know in some cases, attracting engagement is a necessary evil, such as when you're hoping to make your living off of art. If this is your publicity strategy, I'd say go for your life, we need to put food on the table and we deserve to do so with a job we like. I also can't deny the pleasure of having someone engage with one's work fully invested in it. But l think there's nothing trivial about even one person being genuinely invested in your original work, particularly without the boost of publicity channels, and numbers belie that. One person taking the time to think about your original characters is so much more valuable than one fanart reblog.

How does my thinking outlined here affect how I'll approach art and fanwork, and what do I think would be a good response to algorithmic bullshit? I don't think the point is to guilt trip people into reblogging original art if they don't otherwise feel a desire to. Like, it would be really cool to make it a social norm to reblog any art you like--but we kind of have to accept that by the force of platform algorithms amplifying the statistical tendencies of users, fanart is always going to attract more visibility.

I just hope that anyone who's read this far is willing to look into any original work that crosses their feed, if the person who made it is someone they like. Also, those ad hoc grassroots efforts to make original work more visible--"share your OC art"/publicity threads and events--have actually been great for discovering others. And as much as Toyhouse sucks sometimes, it has the highest concentration of people who will go to the extra effort to learn about the original projects behind the art, out of anywhere on the internet that I've been.

I'm a person with shifting interests. Im the sort who will draw a handful of pieces for one fandom, and then quietly enjoy the rest of the fanwork while moving on creatively. The fact that I feel a need to ossify and continually perform my interest in franchise fiction to "hold" followers is frankly depressing. Realising that it's all part of hostile platform design has helped me wean myself of the need to do things for the algorithm, but I still have some way to go.

And well, you're gonna keep seeing my OC art, because that's where my love lies, and the joy I feel when others engage with those is rarely motivated by numerical success. I would like to commit to interacting more actively with others' works too, and maybe emphasise how cool I think it is that we're materialising entire lifetimes from our minds. If people wanna unfollow me for that, then I guess they can be my guest. This blog is my sanctuary for posting whatever the hell I want, including my ongoing OC project brainrot :)

aus:

lord of the disambiguation - often called disambiguation for short. an extended version of lotf that picks up right after jack splits off from ralph's group. no one dies. the two groups just have to find a way to live and work together to survive

lord of the high school - a semi-modern au that follows the kids as they try to navigate british private school life. the name is a misnomer since they're actually in middle school, not high school (i didn't change the ages) but it's too late to change it now

lord of the epilogue - picks up right at the end of the book. just a continuation of the story. features the crew of the naval ship, who happen to be led by ralph's father. unfortunate events happen

land of tall faith - also called forgiveness of a god unknown. a story based on my prediction for what lotf would be about before i read it. follows a european girl entering a foreign society and experiencing their culture. after connecting with their god, proving her loyalty, and being sacrificed multiple times, she eventually decides to stay with them instead of returning to her society. characters' appearances are based on lotf characters

woodingham manor - a criticism of lotf, which seeks to show the flaws in the book's message. presents the story of a detective group investigating a cold case that visits an old manor to find clues, but find themselves locked in. things happen, people die, and truth finally sets them free. the plot and characters need reworking, please bare with me. all characters are based on lotf characters

OK let's talk about some ideas for Eddie Munson in fanfiction

Ok, so if you are for some reason reading this without watching season four of stranger things I'm just going to say that is on you. Ok.

But let's get down to business. First off I would like to say that all my ideas that I'm tossing out are just ideas ok. I’m really new to Tumblr and I’ve only encountered people who are just trying to start drama for no reason 😂 if there is something that you don't agree on, and you have a different idea that you feel like fits better go on ahead and respectfully share it in the comments/ my ask box/ my pms/ reblogging/ etc. With that being said here are just a list of ideas that I feel like would work out with Eddie in ANY fan-fiction.

He hyperfixates on stuff very easily. (Examples; Music, DnD, etc.) Which could explain why he takes who comes into his sessions seriously. He’s learned that if he just lets anyone in that they laugh at how far he gets into the thing he’s doing easily. Plus! He sometimes has to translate stuff like it’s coming from one of his hyperfixations to understand it. (Example; lord of the rings) like I don’t think I’m explaining this well enough but as someone who hyperfixates really badly on stuff and can’t let it go I feel like Eddie is the perfect character to have the same issues. (Hyperfixations aren’t a bad thing at all but I personally know when I’m hyperfixating on food like chicken pot pies, I refuse to eat anything but that for over a week and after that I can’t eat it for months or for a very long time)

(This might go hand in hand with the first one) but maybe he could be on the autistic spectrum. For example; he doesn’t understand personal space or peoples tones at all. Plus! Maybe it’s not him purposly failing school, maybe he has a learning disability. And if I’m honest I find his character really cool and in my head this makes sense to me. But if anyone doesn’t agree that’s cool :)

He’s a huge cuddler. Do I have to say anything more? When he’s stressed he cuddles. When he’s bored, he cuddles. He’s a very cuddly person, in my mind it just makes sense.

He is at least a little queer, or just a ally in general. He honestly looks like he doesn’t give a shit about what you are just as long as you are good at DnD

Artist- he fucking draws okay. There is no way he hasn’t drawn some metal ass shit on his homework.

He’s a asshole first so people don’t purposely bully him. But the second someone confronts him he’s a flight person.

Panic attacks/ Deppression- I feel like he would be very aware of these before everything hits in season four and it’s not all new to him

He prefers to hang out with those who are younger then him because he can leave a impression and doesn’t have to worry about them leaving first

Ok but very manipulative. Like I love Eddie but I feel like he would be a sort of gaslighting kind of guy. Though I don’t think he would be aware of it. Maybe he picked it up from seeing others doing it growing up

Cowardly lion- do I have to say anything else

Eddie chews on a lot of shit, anything from his hair, nails to pencil. I don’t know why it just makes sense to me

He has his rings for anxiety reasons. He picks at those whenever he gets nervous

He has handcuffs in his room… if you don’t believe me go watch the scene where he’s looking for drugs

Ok but hear me out. I feel like he would be very very into Robin AS A FRIEND. The amount of banter they would have would be crazy!

There are sooooo many ideas I have of this guy it’s crazy.

Ok but anywho, that’s all for now. I’ve been posting a lot lately. So if you have any one shot ideas send them my way! (I typically mostly do bxb)

#I’m sorry but Eddie is a soft and loveable character and he’s only trying to be tough #please someone just request a one shot i’m bored and i need something to do so i can say i was being productive #eddie stranger things #eddie munson #steveharrington #stranger things #steve harrington #stranger things s4 #robin stranger things #ideas

fan artists upset that he is not the blond twink they’ve been drawing for the past 3 years or whatever

ppl who go bat shit fucking crazy over the fact that his reason for revealing it now had to do with being best friends w George (dnf stans r probably frothing rn)

the undying loyalists who are fucking STOKED even tho he’s Just Some Guy

the trolls i already saw in his comments section saying he looks like lord farquaad 💀

My #1 post of 2022

youtube

“Arbor Square” is a goofy & introspective adult animated comedy series created by Eli Murphy and Stevie Maxwell. It follows Quinn and Jonathan, a pair of incompetent roommates-turned-baristas trying to make lives for themselves in the quirky titular borough of Arbor Square.

Quinn is a non-binary wild card who spends their free time getting up to (semi-legal) shenanigans!

Jonathan is a neurotic but soft-hearted lover boy who is often the only thing standing between Quinn and a prison sentence!

Their boss Cassian does his best to maintain order and drive up profits for Arbor Square Coffee & Kombucha, but he’s locked in a bitter and potentially steamy feud with Jessica, the manager of the Skybears coffee chain across the street!

Glenn, an eccentric hippie from a bygone era, is the cafe’s number one patron and rounds out the main cast!

Together this odd group will discover what it means to be neighbors in the age of wage work and late-stage capitalism >:)

Hello! Welcome to the Blog!

Requests: Closed for commissions and open for writing

Introduction:

Hi! My name is Taff. I occupy exactly zero braincells most of the time but feel free to message me or send me an ask! I'm a budding (insecure) artist that honestly needs a lot of practise but I think I feel ready to show some of my work. I write as well and have been writing more than I have been drawing, especially digitally, but I love learning new techniques to make my crafts better. This blog is centred mostly around OCs of mine for LEGO Ninjago and as such is recommended for those 18 and over considering the nature of my OCs and the world that comes with them.

This blog is a side blog, so likes, follows and replies in the notes will come from my main, @friedchocolate

Besides LEGO Ninjago, my other interests/fandoms are:

Marvel

Baldur's Gate

Fallout

The Elder Scrolls

The Witcher

Red Dead Redemption

The Last of Us

Uncharted

The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings

A Plague Tale

Rules:

Not much really phases me but there's still some lines I won't cross

I'm okay with writing/making art of nsfw topics seeing as my characters and the Aldmerrow Chapter do contain nsfw themes, but for now, I'll take writing requests because I personally feel that my art is not up to standard for frequent art posts just yet.

Do NOT repost or edit my art. This includes using it in a video edit and posting it onto sites like Pinterest or Deviantart. If I make a piece for you to use, do what you will, but I will not take off my watermark.

I'd prefer to keep my OC content to myself so please don't claim such things as your own. It took me years to develop everything and it's very precious to me

I will not answer asks regarding ships about Lloyd that I feel are inappropriate, such as ships with him and other ninja/older characters

I also have tokophobia (fear of and general aversion to pregnancy) and am not entirely fond of children so I would appreciate such topics to not be brought up.

Where writing requests are concerned, the above is relevant. Regarding nsfw themes like those of a sexual nature, there are things I can and cannot do for personal reasons. If you want to request such a thing from me, please see my writing rules page before sending an ask.

Note: If I'm tagged in something or mentioned in the notes/comments and I don’t respond for a little while, like a day or so, it's because I likely didn't get notified and tumblr likes to not let me see notifications so feel free to message me the post just in case re-tagging doesn't work. Usually it should, though.

Tags:

My usual tags consist of:

#anon – in this tag you can find posts with asks from anons

#mutual – in this tag you can find posts with asks from mutuals

#tw [blank] – in this tag you can find posts which may have triggering content or content not for minors

#ninjago / #ninjago oc – in this tag you can find posts that include talk of the original characters or ninjago as a whole

#oc: taliah – in this tag you can find posts that mention or are focused around taliah

#oc: erebos – in this tag you can find posts that mention or are focused around erebos

#art / my art – in this tag you can find posts that have art that is either submitted to the blog or art that is of my own work

#writing / my writing – in this tag you can find posts that include writing submitted to the blog or in which the blog is tagged, or my own writing

#aldmerrow lore – in this tag you can find posts that are focused on the lore of the made up world of aldmerrow from which taliah and erebos reside

#headcanon – in this tag you can find posts that have headcanons that are either submissions, asks, or my own

The Aldmerrow Chonicles:

The Aldmerrow Chronicles is something I've been working on since the show first came out back in 2011 alongside the two OCs that gave birth to it. I never intended to make a fan-season, but as I developed it over time, it's begun to feel that way. It works as the focus season for my two OCs, Taliah of Gideon and her partner Erebos the archgriffin. I post concepts and designs for it from time to time because actually writing the damn thing has been an on and off thing (but lets ignore the multiple info dumps and roleplays I've done with friends about it) so a fanfiction for the time being will be unavailable to the public. You can find all sorts of content for the Aldmerrow Chronicles under the allocated tags.

A brief intro, but as time goes on I'm sure more will be added and changes will be made!

I am in too deep. I played with a generator and got a stand idea perfect for me and now I am refining it and this is how I have ended up starting to do the end of a fan Stand and user.

So far this is ridiculously fun though. I have a few other projects I need to get done, but maybe doodle some other people's fan stands after for fun and as a challenge.

For now, I love how mine is coming out.

I went with a more humanoid look, given the nature of the stand and the fact it reflects back. Being nb myself, I wanted the stand to be more androgynous than some stand designs. This is going to be a lot of fun to build up. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to try and recreate the hard lines seen in Jojo's art style when my own is so soft.

But I thought about the uses and it's and interesting one because "desire" is an interesting emotion. I don't think you could pull whatever you wanted from thin air, especially with a low potential/power rating.

So my thought is instead to link it back to the idea of the song lyrics of Somebody to Love. The sense of desperation and earnestness. The Stand can give the user whatever they desire, but it must be an intense desire, meaning the stand works best when an emotional connection is forged. (Be that wanting something because you love, care, or are afraid for your life. Or maybe extremely frustrated.)

This is a stand of intense self-preservation. A desire to connect with a few people closely and protect oneself. "Can anybody find me somebody to love?"

I'm going through a lot medically right now and have chronic health stuff, including pain, so the idea of a Stand that hinges on your sense of self-preservation is a fun idea because if it gives you what you desire, if you were desperate enough to help someone enough, it might be capable of healing you or them, but you have to feel it sincerely.

As far as the design goes, material-wise for the body, I'm looking at kintsugi for inspiration. A stand that looks cracked by is repaired by gold feels very fitting. The feet are something like heels and boots to stick in androgynous pattern, and I think part of the back peeling off in almost a tux fashion is a fun touch on the romance angle. I wanted a more humanoid stand due to the "softness" of the abilities but also to have it look equally delicate as a result. Fitting this and with the song lyrics, I'm thinking it's default state will have Somebody crying.

"Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet

Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry) Lord, what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)"

I do have a problem though. This is all making me want to start a Jojo blog and it has been years and goddammit I don't know that I have the energy for that right now but also I have seen some lovely fan artists and writers here and I want to say hi.

I'll post again when I have more of this draw but at the moment I just wanted to spit this out because I have had it bouncing in my head and I wanted to share.

The hard thing about having an original character who is harmful or even is abusive to other characters, is that it is scary to get into that headspace at times. You have to either try to understand a character truly- their motives, their core world/life views, the networking of their brain. Either you do that or you rely on the patterns you have seen of real people who share some traits those abusive characters have, or the things you have experienced yourself, think about your own cogntive distortions and how those affect your behavior so you can better write an OC ...

Then theres the way you present these characters who do harmful things in a story- some people rely on you to walk them through everything about a character. Or want you to clearly state whether a "character" is good or bad, as if the world is that black-and-white.. To have an audience is a very stressful thing. Oh lord! :^P i commend people who share their gritty stories when it is so normal for ppl to act like this nowadays, even to small artists who do not even make a dime, but share their stories anyway (whether its a book, web comic, independent animation or cinema.)

Honestly. writing abusive OCs of certain calibers is difficult. Even if its based on real people in your life, its still difficult. I may omit things because I do not want the story to be a personal vent piece, nor for it to glamorize abuse or depict any of it as okay (although some stories do and I find those intriguing. Not in a good way but in a "well.. why does the creator do that?" way). In my story I'd just want to show why the abuser acts that way and how easy it is to sympathize with these abusive characters, (to show why one vulnerable OC fell into the trap. But your vulnerable OC is not a perfect person and you knew if you told your story to the general world, people might say the character "deserved that abuse") ( you just have to take that risk when you tell a story so personal and be strong. People will have their own opinions. Whether its a real story or fictional, actually..)(is getting that attached to your own characters normal? Probably not.)

So to that I say to myself: Maybe you shouldn't let your OCs be so personal, so you can more easily detach from how others see them (bc ppl can interpret art however they like. Thats a fact!!) but then whats the point of making them then if you cut away the personal intricacies? (For me. Just as someone who doesnt make money from having random characters I write about in a notebook haha..)

Are original characters in storys *always* supposed to be mere narrative cogs ? Do i think too much about their brains, upbringings, the "neural network" of their mind, personal cognitive/physical struggles, their environment, ect ect ect????

Bc real people are that complicated. I don't even wanna write a story for others, which is what is so funny abt me typing all this on my lil ramble blog. I just write it/draw it in my head... very vivid imagination.. but if i ever made a public story, these would be the things Id be thinking about, I guess. It seems so overwhelming to be a story teller...

Which is why i dont really talk about my OCs at all unless its silly funsy fan OCs or something. My OCs are like... shitti, flawed, real people. And thats why I feel drawn to media that has mostly shitty, difficult to sympathize with characters. Bc Im Like... there are shreds of reality in those fictional universes. Or im just a cynic drawn to other cynics' fictional works. Ooooopsies. Uh. May delete later. Gah. thats my random high thoughts on all of that.

#rambles about the difficulties of having OCS that abuse/do harmful things and how that can be difficult in many ways to write #or think about these darker fictional stories. lol.#txt
