My gift for the @technoblade-gift-exchange !! i was assigned to @simplepotatofarmer who asked for dsmp rivals duo. i hope you like it Loyal!
rambling about headcanons, designs, and my process and stuff under the readmore, because i wanna talk about it but dont want the post to be super long !!
i had originally planned to not have a background and then at the last second i decided to speedrun drawing one in a few hours so um. quality difference but its fine. also unrelated but im pretty sure everything about how i draw animals and anthros makes it very obvious i used to be in the warrior cats fandom lol. anyway onto the designs!!
the gold on techno is scars from the totem at the execution, which i think is a pretty common thing for techno designs. he isnt supposed to be a piglin, but rather similar species of anthropomorphic pig. also his mane and tail fluff are naturally brown but he dyes them pink ^_^ so cool !! um. i maaayyy have forgotten the crown until i was way too far into the piece to add it. haha. oops. pretend its missing because. uuh. hes in a casual outfit. "but he still has the cape" yeah its comfy. "but dream has a mask thats not casual" dream is dream he does Not relax fully ever. see entirely intentional i would never make a mistake.
dream is an original shapeshifter species i came up with because i couldnt decide what i wanted him to be. i havent decided on a name for the species yet but i plan to make almost every solid-color or nearly solid color mcyt into this species. theyre mostly involuntary/unconscious shapeshifters. so like they change slowly over weeks or months to adapt to their surroundings, with little conscious control. basically i wanted him to be like five different things so i shoved them together lol, rabbit ears but in a pattern that looks like an axolotl, a cool tail, TOE BEANS tho you cant see them. this was actually the first time ive ever had a dream design im happy with so thats really nice.
i um. i made full use of my time lol, i spent a bit over a week on the lineart, another week on the coloring, and maybe a week and a half on rendering. unless i suddenly became shit at math(which is possible) that adds up to roughly the amount of time i had to work on it. im really proud of myself actually since i usually take a while to do art, and i wasnt sure i would be able to make something id be happy with in this amount of time. but i did! woah!! this was my first time participating in a fandom gift exchange and it was so fun, and also helped motivate me to draw more instead of getting distracted like i usually do (classic adhd moment) lol. anyway super cool!!
Loyal if u decided to read all this for some reason then again i really hope u like it!! u are so cool and i really love ur rivals duo opinions and creations so i hope u like this! i know theres been shit happening lately, i hope ur doing ok!!

piercer Dabi thoughts on the brain tonight 💔 I want him to be so condescending with light bullying every time I talk about backing out 💔 and he keeps grabbing my face to make me look at him when I act like I’m gonna back out forreal this time 💔 and even though he’s kinda an ass he makes sure I’m comfortable first and foremost and gives me a pep talk about how brave I am and how pretty I’ll be with my new piercing 💔💔💔💔

another out of context excerpt. this one was written a while ago and is just dialogue
Wash: When I set off that E.M.P., it was to kill The Meta for good. [content cut for spoilers]
Tucker: Wait. What do you mean, “when you set off the E.M.P.?”
Caboose (suddenly nervous): Uhhhhhh.
Donut: Yeah, what’s an E.M.P.?
Tucker: That’s not—
Sarge, Grif, and Simmons (in unison): He means emp.
Donut: Ohhhhh, why didn’t you say that?
Wash (already exasperated): We are not having this discussion again.
Tucker: I wasn’t asking about—
Simmons: You should really be using the proper terminology, Wash.
Grif: Yeah, no one knows what the fuck you’re talking about.
Wash: Everyone knows what I’m talking about! You are the only people who don’t know what I’m talking about!
Tucker (increasingly frustrated): I don’t—
Donut: See, Tucker didn’t know what you were talking about!
Tucker: I was not saying that.
Wash: Tucker agrees with me.
Tucker: I wasn’t saying that either!
Caboose: Maybe we should talk about something else…
Wash: Please.
Tucker: No—
Carolina: Look, it doesn’t matter how it’s pronounced.
Sarge: Right! It doesn’t matter that it’s pronounced emp.
Wash: Carolina doesn’t pronounce it like that
Carolina: Well…
Wash (utterly betrayed): No.
Carolina: I’ve… typically said emp…
Wash: Oh my god.
Tucker: Will you all stop arguing about dumb bullshit? I’m trying to—
Epsilon: Tucker’s right; let’s all just agree that Wash is wrong and move on.
Tucker: Shut up! That’s not what I’m—
Wash (desperately): I am not wrong! Please, Dr. Grey,
Grey: Oh, I have long since learned to stay out of these discussions.
Kimball: And that’s something we should all learn. Let’s get back to—
Tucker, screaming: EVERYONE STOP TALKING!
Grif: Whoa.
Donut: Oop!
Carolina: Do not talk to Kimball like—
Wash: Tucker, you don’t—
Tucker, furious, directly at Wash: SHUT UP! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KILLED CHURCH?

Stuck In Her Head
short contemporary YA coming-of-age set in Hong Kong, following two teen girls who are friends
one is a musical prodigy but has lost her passion and wants to explore different possibilities for her future
the other is passionate about music but dealing with mental health & family issues
the latter develops a crush on the former, who is aroace, and they have to re-navigate their friendship, while working on a music/coding competition project together and dealing with their own issues

feel bad bc my writing isnt as good as it could be like 80% of the time bc i dont put the time & effort into it that i should but i know if i strive for perfection ill just never post anything & id rather post a bunch of mediocre little things than not post at all. i do wanna try & actually plan out a decent story again one of these days but part of the thing that makes it hard is coming up with scenarios i like that i havent already written 20 times😭😭😭😭😭

Gf and I watched wish yesterday and I’m still marinating on it. All the misses just oozed exec meddling to me, especially w all the untapped potential we’ve seen in the art book. The heck happened here I feel bad for the people who drafted up some of the concept art what a waste

Early on into their friendship, Sunny starts sleeping in Levi's room quite often. It originally happens as an accident like she falls asleep while watching anime/him game late at night, and Levi is too awkward to wake him up, but it soon becomes a normal habit between them.
Not in his bathtub (yes, Levi sleeps in a bathtub) because it's too small, and also, there's no reason for Sun to be in there at that point. But there will be a pile of like pillows and blankets in the area in front of his TV, and that's where he ends up sleeping fairly often.

one of my very stupid and very specific little issues (that I don't know if other multilingual people experience) is that sometimes, I can only think of a word that feels perfect for what I want to say, in a language that isn't the one in which i'm currently writing. and it's almost never a word for which I just don't have a translation, or it's not like one of those "untranslatable" expressions/cultural phenomena/whatever, they're just... words. that have a vibe their equivalent in another language doesn't have the same exact way I want it.
like right now, I'm trying to write something in English. I'm trying to describe a character saying something quietly, and tenderly, but my brain is being very helpful by supplying me with only the Spanish phrase "al oído". Which has the perfect feel to it: it's soft, it's round, it essentially means "to the ear" or "by the hearing", and to say something al oído is... kind of to whisper in confidence so softly, that it can barely be heard. The words are more breath than sound, and you're saying it in private, for that specific person's hearing only. But that's just so many words, compared to saying that he whispered his agreement al oído.
or I want to say that someone is "szabadkozik", which is Hungarian for... kind of to make flustered excuses? Not really in a way that's reluctant necessarily, but it is to... kind of faff, and play at reluctance in a manner that may be slightly embarrassed, or just politely playing at embarrassment, being coy? And I could circumscribe it like that, I could say that he's excusing himself coyly or something, but my brain just keeps going "no, that's wrong, he's szabadkozik, you should say that". It's frustrating.
I kind of want to write a piece where I just... let myself code switch as many times as I want to. Just to see what it feels like to let my brain do its thing without trying to contain it. It would be fucking incomprehensible.

(This is personal post that is mostly talking about my frustration with my writing. Feel free to skip if you want.)
Ugh. I hate when I’m writing something and I can’t seem to find the words I need to make it sound natural and just… human. I have a bizarre way of speaking sometimes and when it makes its way into my writing it gets super frustrating to figure out how to fix it. Because how can I completely change the way I think and write??
And then there’s the thought that maybe my writing is actually just fine, it’s just my state of mind that’s the problem, making me see everything I do as terrible, since that happens sometimes. Where I will go through days of hating everything I’m doing, and I can’t tell if I feel that way because of something unrelated, or if it’s related to how godawful my writing is. I try my hardest not to feel like that, to tell myself that it’s fine, but when I get in one of these moods it’s so, so hard to make myself see it.
It’s even worse when the story I was writing was one that I was actually really excited about, the idea something that could have been really good if it was written by someone competent. But because of either my lack of skill in writing, or because of the weirdness in my head, it’s getting ruined and I don’t know how to make it better. And I just keep spiraling more and more, my inability to write properly affecting my mood, which then affects my writing more, in an endless downward spiral. But I still want to write, I still want to be working, but forcing it is making everything worse, and it’s all just…
Bad. Very bad.

#FridayKiss Tag Game
This scene can be entirely blamed on is for @bloodlessheirbyjacques (thank you for the tag this was really fun! 💕)
Rules: Post a smooch between your OCs for Friday. It can be as light as a peck, or intense as a makeout. It can be romantic, platonic, or familial. As long as a smooch takes places, it's free reign!
Ship: Taiden 💚
Okay so context: Aiden and Talon (not dating, just pining) are on a feast. Talon just saved Aiden from some fae that made him drunk on fae wine and tried to seduce him. He confronts Aiden and the two end up fighting (Aiden tells Talon that just because he doesn’t want him, doesn’t mean no one does). To make Aiden shut up, Talon kissed him, as you do and that’s where the scene starts
“So you like me after all.” Aiden grinned smugly, leaning closer. His hand was gripping the front of Talon’s shirt.
“‘S good. Cause I like you too,” he whispered, like he just shared the most precious of secrets.
Maybe he did.
Talon turned his face away, cheeks burning red. “You do not know what you say, Aiden,“ he mumbled, trying to gently push Aiden away from him and get some space between them.
If they stayed this close, Talon might do something stupid again. But Aiden kept holding on to him.
„Or you can’t handle the truth. Cause you’re a coward.“
„Im not a coward,“ Talon said fiercely, still not meeting Aiden’s eyes.
„You are,“ the other boy said. „You can’t even look at me.“
Talon’s mind was racing. He turned to face Aiden abruptly.
Do you know, he wanted to ask, do you know how hard that is for me? To always tear my eyes away from you so you won’t catch me staring?
Aiden was still grinning like a mad man and Talon wanted nothing more than to wipe that stupid smirk out of his face.
So he does.
Against his better judgment, he leaned in and kissed Aiden again, pressing him against the marble wall.
Aiden was quick to respond, kissing him back eagerly, pulling Talon even closer by the collar of his shirt.
One hand he rested against Talon’s chest, right over his wildly beating heart and his touch set something within the guard aflame.
He deepened the kiss, his hand moving to Aiden’s jaw, tilting up his head, before wandering back to his neck.
Aiden opened up for him immediately, gladly letting Talon take the lead. He tasted like sweet wine and Talon wanted to get drunk on it.
A pleased sound escaped Aiden’s lips and he buried a hand in Talon’s blonde locks, making the other boy gasp. He hooked one leg around Talon’s waist, the guard’s hand supporting his thigh, holding it in place.
Talon knew he shouldn’t be doing this. Aiden wasn’t quite in his right mind after all, still kind of drunk on fae wine. And Talon was his guard. This wasn’t supposed to be.
But the feeling of Aiden’s lips against Talon’s own felt too good, too right, for him to care.
In the morning they might both come to regret this, but right now Talon didn’t regret a single thing, lips moving away from the other’s mouth to trail kisses down his exposed neck.
I tag @deadlycupid <3

i love how the worldbuilding in season 1 of mlp is done omg. i love that the world and seasons are all managed by ponies, that sorta gets less emphasis in later seasons from what i see. i just thought it extended to rainbow dash’s clouds or the royal sisters with the sun and moon, but nah they physically change the seasons and are in charge of the weather. its super cute i love it

I wish I could telepathically transfer my shower thoughts onto pen and paper because whenever I try to replicate them after the fact something fundamental is lost and it just sounds like I'm making a poor attempt at writing my first ever philosophy paper

WIP Wheneversday
So @devilbunnyking tagged me earlier this week for WIP Whenever, and today happens to be Wednesday, so uhhh it's WIP both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've never written a fight scene and it is s l o w going, but I have a little bit of an after started. So there's basically two parts that I'm working on simultaneously, how Darlin' got into the fight and then the gap leading up to answering the call from Sam.
There are a few benefits for having a shitty apartment in a questionable building, surprisingly. One of them is antisocial neighbors that won’t check the halls when someone limps in, won’t pry even if they catch sight of blood. There’s an unspoken accord that it’s no one’s business except the bleeder’s.
It’s nice that that’s one less thing to worry about right now, they think, as their spare hand shakes in their pocket for their keys, the other firmly clamped over the worst of the bleeding. The adrenaline hits differently now that they've shifted back, and they can feel their head beginning to spin as the keys evade their fingertips. After too many attempts they grab them, and upon fishing them out they rattle to the floor. 
They leave them there as they draw in a slow breath to calm the spinning, then inch down to pick the keychain up again, gripping them hamfistedly. Something in them tells them they need to be moving faster than this if they have any hope of handling their injuries on their own, that they’ve already lost enough blood, that any stalling could be—
do I want to tag anyone uhhhh next time. For today consider yourself tagged if you read this and want to be tagged <3 please, I'm not kidding, I crave human interaction but am just awkward about initiating it ( ̄y▽, ̄;;)╭ Bonus: you can consider this a WIP Wednesday for next week OR a WIP Whenever!
