Hello tumblr! After who knows how many years I hath returned.
For those who don't know me, I'm a cartoonist and illustrator based out of Portland OR. I have a couple of graphic novels out and am currently working on my third. I look forward to posting on this hellsite once again ✌️❤️
the hetastuck phenomenon is my roman empire btw what even was that. Why does the sentence "Hetalia fandom is in love with Homestuck fandom" exist. who what when where why.
I’m Mau, comic artist and illustrator from Costa Rica. I love drawing my OCs, as well as fanart. I like Soulsborne games, Metroid, Metal Gear, and a bunch of other stuff.
I’ll be posting lots of work in the next few days!
Life just feel like it’s kicking anyone else’s ass?
Things are kinda looking up I actually feel hope, hope that doesn’t feel stupid or false, but still kinda feel like I’m drowning. That whatever I do it’s still not enough for the people around me.
Not wild enough, not old enough, not loud enough, not enough free time, not making enough money, not pretty enough, not religious enough, not smart enough
Or I’m too much, too straight forward, too traditional, too boring, too quiet, too busy, too focused, too aggressive
I was debating whether to post one of these, then saw @gammacousin do so and decided to follow in their footsteps.
A gigantic thank you to everyone who interacted with my return post, who sent messages, who showed some love to Cracks Filled With Gold and/or old fics. It's really encouraging, and I'm excited to be sharing writing for BruceNat again.
To Be Posted:
Chapter 3/3 of Cracks Filled With Gold
Incubator (AKA Awaiting Edits):
A BruceNat nap drabble
AU BruceNat proposal + death drabble (prompt)
To Be Written:
Gamma radiation side effect fic (old prompt, smut)
Natasha is actually a little self-conscious about her scars (old prompt, smut)
OG6 Avengers organizing a reconciliation for BruceNat (old prompt)
Laura + Nat chat about Natasha's blossoming relationship with Bruce (old prompt)
...The "to be written" queue is quite a bit longer than that, but those are just the first up.
A note on "incubating" fics: I always let drafts sit for at least 2+ weeks before returning my eyes to them. Currently, I'm my only editor, and I find this time away from my own writing helps immensely with the editing process I also come back to my drafts hating them less, because I naturally hate all my writing when I first put it to paper.
A note regarding the recent troll on FF: I doubt anyone's seen this, but just wanted to assure that I've seen this person leaving largely incomprehensible troll reviews on several of my works posted to FF. It's fine (I think it's funny, and I'm also flattered, to be frank). Fics are still coming, this hasn't discouraged me in the slightest. :)
so i used to be super active on here between like 2010 - 2018 then went to twitter in the last few years, but it seems like the migration is kind of happening??
so HI 💗 you can also find me on tiktok @/satoruslander and twitter by that same username (if twitter stays afloat).
i will likely be active on tumblr again regardless though because i’ve been thinking about doing that even before this disaster
i’ll mostly be doing reblogs of anime, manga, gaming, and kpop content 🫡
