Tumblr media
So yeah, I finished the drawing of Asha's redesign from Wish :D, maybe I'll make some changes in the future, but I'm happy to have finished it, it should be noted that I haven't seen the movie. , so I can't give my opinion on it yet, but I found it very interesting that their fandom is mainly made up of people who rewrote or made their own version of the movie, they are all very creative and it got me out of an artistic block. that I had a few months ago, but above all I found the rewriting of @annymation which is the one I have been most hooked on, so I wanted to do some redesigns of the characters coming out of its rewriting, that's why everything that has to do with the story of this version of Asha, as well as her personality and her world on which I base my drawing are the ideas and work of this account: @annymation
I'm just making a drawing of her character and how I would design her as well as sharing part of the process I had to do to draw her because, why not?
BOARD:
The first thing I had to do was put together a table full of references that reminded me of the character and things that I would like to add to her design, so I used milanote to do it:
Tumblr media
-Looked for some Asha's concept art and save the ones I liked the most, and add the main colors that I used in the design. -I also created notes to write down the personality of the character and some of his data to have a better guide, I did a little research and found publications that talked a lot about Asha's discarded designs and how Disney workers had put that she had tribe ancestry Amazigh on his mother's side and since his father was from the Iberian Peninsula, that's why the next thing I wanted to do is research more about their culture. -I am not an expert on this topic, nor do I belong to the cultures from which Asha has ancestry, so you can comment on any correction regarding this topic, I wanted to implement details of this culture to her design and I would really like to give a correct representation :)
HAIRSTYLE
Continuing with the theme, I saw that the hairstyles in the Amazigh culture mostly had this type of colorful decorations on their braids and dreadlocks, that's why I also posted these reference photos for Asha's hairstyle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Finally I decided that Asha would not have all her hair full of braids or dreadlocks, but only a few accompanied by these decorations with a great variation of colors, although it was fun to sketch the many hairstyle options that I had in mind based on these concept art and other photos that I had saved
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TATTOOS:
-Another detail that I liked was giving Asha some tattoos with designs from the Amazigh culture, because I saw that it was quite common for women to get them, the tattoo on her forehead is a symbol of protection against bad influences, that's why the The middle symbol is responsible for deflecting it in the 4 directions, I also added a similar one in Asha's right hand.
Tumblr media
ASTROLOGY AND THE SPACE:
-An important part of Asha's rewrite is her knowledge of astronomy inherited from her father, especially with the stars for obvious reasons xd, so in addition to adding constellations to her dresses, research the meaning (or something like that) of the planets. Only 3 really reminded me of the character, which were: -Mars: Symbolization of the internal conquering function of moving forward, independent, self-determined, enduring failures with new energy, courage and energy to fight for your desires. -Saturn: Maturity, effort to solidly build realistic criteria, frustrations are transformed into objectives to continue growing, critical and realistic, far from getting frustrated when an objective does not work, you strive to move forward and obtain even more resistant and solid achievements, perseverance , and tenacity (I feel like yhis it the most similar to Asha :D) -Moon: protective role, feeling very vulnerable outside your known areas, feeling of security with your ties, importance of family ties. The one that reminded me the most of Asha was Saturn, that's why I drew those Saturn-shaped earrings :).
Tumblr media
SUITS:
I looked for references and placed some on milanote, I noticed that the concept art was mainly divided into whether the dresses have lilac colors or warm colors, I decided to draw 2 models based on the discarded designs, although at first I thought of using only one color palette lilac and bluish, I realized that the reddish colors of her dress reminded me of Mars which has certain meanings that in my opinion coincide with Asha's personality. In the end I didn't decide what wardrobe she would primarily have 😅, but I like to think that in this version of Wish, Asha would have wardrobe and hairstyle changes like in some older Disney movies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-These are some of the concepts that I mainly used for my version of the dresses
FINAL COMMENTS:
I am satisfied with the result, it was fun to make all this, although what I researched mostly seems little, it actually cost me several hours and I did it at night, so as a funny fact the next day I was explaining all this information to my mother and I felt like I looked like that:
Tumblr media
(Make this drawing was so funny LMAO)
(Apologies if there are errors in my writing, English is not my first language and my writing is very basic)

PAC/ What is going on with this connection? 💖
Hi my sweethearts! Here you have another PAC💕
I'm writing the cards as well so there could be some translations mistakes with the cards dropped, I'll leave the number of the card for you to find it easier. I'm using for the spread: Wisdom of the oracle for eachother energies; the Enchanted Love tarot to see what's going on; oracle of Shadows and Lights for what you are not seeing; Romance Angels oracle for the purpose of the connection; Thoughts from the heart for positive affirmations.
Think about someone in your life that you want to get answers about, they can be any connection you have, not only related to love. Take a deep breath and choose the pile you feel more drawn to.
Take only what resonates 🌙
I love you🌷
Tumblr media
Yellow:
- Current energies:
(Cards: 32. Here and now rev; 31. Why? Rev; 40. Creative collaboration // bottom of deck: 51. The kinder face of life rev; 18. Serendipity rev.)
You are ungrounded , my love, you might have so much mental activity right now that you have lifted your feet from the groud, maybe you are thinking too much about the future with this person or maybe if something from the past could repeat in your present moment. Whatever it is that keeps you so much in your head is leading you to get anxious with no need. I don't see your person acting in a suspicious way, it's more about the mindset you are having, you are not enjoying your present moment because if you would you could see that everything is going great but you are thinking too much. I feel it's your nature, you are more on analize and think and there's nothing bad about that but try to focus your restless mind in all the positive possibilities you have in front of you.
Your person is also overthinking, but they are asking themselves what are they doing wrong with you. They have so many questions in their mind and they don't know how to put the words in order to ask you, your mind is over controlling every detail but theirs is just mess. They look like the eternal optimistic kind of person and when a difficulty appear they get drown in a glass of water, they don't know how to approach you, they are feeling a lot of stress because they think that things between you two are not going well. They might feel you are not interestted in them and they think it's because of them, maybe your person has some issues with blaming themselves for no reason.
Your final outcome is great! You two will get into alignment with eachother. You'll get into the other's shoes to understand better your differences, you'll be collaborative and compassive with your thoughts and feelings. If you've been in a separation time soon there will be a chance to meet and have a deep conversation to solve the situation.
- What is going on?:
(Cards: Ace of gems; 2 of shells rev; 3 of roses; the Death rev; Prince of wings // bottom of deck: the Moon rev; Queen of roses.)
Woww pile 1, what a reading! 😅 I don't know where to start... Well, whoever your person is, the major obstacle here is your mindset, both of you felt something lovely when you met but you are refusing your feelings for eachother, if it is a friendship relationship here there are a lot more feelings that you two are supressing. I see the coldest part of the relationship is you but because you move more into the mental plane, anyway you know this person is important for you as you are for them. You two hold some fears about your connection but a lot of them are mainly because of your past experiences, perhaps you both are scared of opening your heart or fully trust someone, don't allow those fears to stop you from reaching out someone who makes you feel happy. You are clearer than your person when it comes to emotional balance but you tend to over analyze everything to preventing future damage, if you are honest with yourself you know that this is a trust issue you haven't solved, release this pain and open up. An oportunity for communications is soon arriving, don't be afraid to give the first step and ask them for a little talk to clear up the situation.
Idk why but the cards emphasize your emotional intelligence for good and for bad, you have learnt so much about your emotions and empathy that you can see clearer why other people act the way they do. When you learn how our inner wounds affect our lives you can appreciate it better in everyone, with this person you can see that they are wounded and that makes them act a little immature when it comes to commitment. The bad aspect of this is that you see too much, you can reach the deepest complex of a mind to understand their perspective of life, this is awesome but also dangerous for your feelings. You can't expect from other people to have your conciousness, you know how hard it is to heal your heart and soul but you need to be aware that not everybody has the courage to look within to find answers.
For some of you I see that this is a romantic interest that appeared as a golden oportunity after a long time of waiting, but something about them is not fulfilling you and you are not convinced and overthinking if this connection is worthy of your time. If this is your case the cards invite you to slow down your mind to see if this person could match you as something else and take a step forward and open up to talk about what you want and what you two are expecting about this connection .
- What you can't see:
(Cards: 19. Amara la Menahune; 5. Halloween spirits // bottom of deck: 39. Clockwork pumpkin; 30. Two witches.)
This exhaustion and anxiety you've been through has a meaning, it was something you had to experience to free yourself and heal your soul not just your mind. You are being called to develop your healing abilities not just with yourself but with the world, you probably have an important mission related to heal other people's soul wounds. You are feeling all this changes inside you, you are more happy, satisfied and aligned with your life, you might have found your purpose in this lifetime and you are embracing it. If you are open to it, try to connect with your spirituality, there are some lovely beings by your side, perhaps elementals, faeries, home spirits or a pet that is a witch familiar. You are very connected with higher realms and you are aware of that, this is a good moment for you to get close to them. A deep cleanse in your house or the spaces you spend more time in will refresh the energies.
- The purpose of this relationship:
(Cards: release from your ex; calling in your soulmate; true love // bottom of deck: forgiving and learning; very soon.)
This connection is helping you to free yourself from the chains of your past, you can even feel that this person is a good influence for you even if it's not in a romantic way. I feel that you had some hard experiences with trusting people but you asked for an honest and caring connection with a soulmate and here you have it. There is true love between the two of you, you two want to see the other success and reach their goals, you get happy with eachother victories. You have to leave some attitudes and patterns in your past to keep going on, not just with this connection but with your life in general, release the pessimistic mindset you can be having. What happened in your past is not going to happen ever again, don't worry sweetheart, you are protected by the Divine, you have earned a lot of wisdom through your journey, trust your intuition and inner power. Very soon there will be a close up with this person, if you've been in a no contact or stagnant situation after this meeting that tensions will disolve and your bound will get stronger.
- Positive affirmations:
I am always perfectly protected.
All of my relationships are surrounded by unconditional love.
I heal myself in every level, I heal my soul, mind and body.
Tumblr media
Red:
- Current energies:
(Cards: 48. You are ready; 36. Take the risk; 30. Tic tac // bottom of deck: 47. Don't give up; 25. Cicles rev.)
I see you very excited about this connection, you see a lot of potential in this and your person does as well. You feel ready to give a step forward, maybe it's a friend, a work partner or a love interest, whoever this person is they make you get the feeling that you can trust them. I feel that you have waited so much for this kind of connections to reach your life and their arrival means a lot of happiness and joy, you have the feeling that this is for the good, that you deserve this blessing after all this time you had to wait for them.
For your person is more complicated, perhaps getting into a commintment with you involves a change in their routine and their are very attached to it. For some of you I get the feeling that if this is a romantic connection your person has been single for a long time and they get used to the peace of their solitude, the could even had a hard experience with love and they prefered to spend time alone after that. It's hard for them to leave their repeating cicles but they are very excited for the opprtunity in front of them, I se that they needed so much to feel so good as they feel everytime they spend with you.
For the outcome is just a matter of time, be patience with your person because they don't have the same understanding of life as you, it's difficult for them to make important decitions and they need more time to think and take the right step. Don't give up on them, is just their way to process what happens in their life, they need time but soon your relationship will get more solid and stable.
- What is going on?:
(Cards: 3 of roses; Queen of gems; 2 of gems rev; 9 of roses; 9 of shells // bottom of deck: The Temperance; The Lovers.)
If this is a love connection I must tell you that this person is deeply in love with you, they see you as their counterpart and the person they could build a life with. In any other case this person love you deeply as well, you have become someone very important in their lifes. They are planning how they can involve you in their routine and make you a constant presence in their life, they might be slow because they prefer to give steady steps and don't rush any situation. They will try to give you quality time and probably introduce you to their closest ones, this is a very important step for them but they feel so fulfilled by your side that they can only see the great things in your future together. Be patient with them, they are trying their best to let you know they love you but perhaps they are a person of actions more than words, trust the connection you both have created and the mutual feelings you have because this person wants you to be part of their life, their future actions will make you very happy.
- What you can't see:
(Cards: 30. 2 witches; 32. Stormy sea // bottom of deck: 4. Snow angel; 20. Faerie of the High lands.)
I feel that you are the kind of person that likes to have everything in order, maybe you could be dealing with some control issues and now is better to face your demons and be brave. This time is a test for patience and commitment with your feeling, to keep loyal to your emotions and keep your peace in times of uncertain, trust your inner wisdom when you feel lost. This moment of your life is Divinely guided, your guides will be sending you a lot of signals, I see the image of a sword and an eagle or falcon, maybe this is important for you, also the color red could be relevant. Approach to your guides and spirituality, they will make this time of uncertain a lot more peaceful, as an advice they tell you to make a deep cleanse where you spend more time in. If you are into it burn some rosemary or rue incense to clean the energies in your home.
If you felt drawn to pile 1, I recommend you to read it, maybe there's a message for you there.
- The purpose of this connection:
(Cards: Attraction; chemistry; playfulness // bottom of deck: retreat; getting to know each other.)
The major purpose is to allow yourself to enjoy the first steps of a connection, to let you feel more and think less. There's a mutual attraction here and you both know it, you two share an special bound that can't be described with words by any of you, it's something that you just can feel. Maybe right now you are in a distance or coldness moment, maybe talking less or having less meetings, this is just for this moment. You'll be spending more time together soon, I see a lot of talking about your lives and what you both been through, the chemistry will grow everytime you see eachother. You will start knowing eachother in deep and this will develop in being the best friends, always by eachother side in times of joy and sorrow (In my opinion these are the kind of connections that last for a lifetime because your two know your shadows and your lights and accept them unconditionally). This person has come to teach you how to flow with other people's cicles and rythms, to be patient and trust the process.
- Positive affirmations:
I deserve joy and happiness
This world is my Heaven on Earth
I am always receptive to learning new things
Tumblr media
Pink:
- Current energies:
(Cards: 10. The unfinished symphony; 38. Being fair; 11. At all cost // bottom of deck: 31. Why? Rev; 49. The observer.)
You might be feeling like there's something you have to do with this person, if you are in a no contact situation you feel like something needs to be done in this connection and it's no over yet. Overthinking this connection is draining you but deep inside you know this situation needs a solution, maybe you have some fear of commitment and when this person gives a step torwards you it might feels like your comfort zone is being a little threatened and you give a step back from this connection. (if you felt drawn to pile 2 read it as well, maybe there's a message for you there).
You person is keeping their guard up, they feel like they are giving too much and not receiving the same from you, they are protecting their feelings from being broken. They feel so much for you but they are very scared of you taking advantadge of them and break their heart, they are very sensitive people and they are trying to be as fair as possible with both of you and the situation. They are very open to talk but just if you are receptive for a deep conversation to reach a balance in this relationship, by the moment they prefer to keep observing but not making any action, somehow they are trying to respect your rythms and let you take the first step. They are probably watching over your social media or your photos a lot.
You know what you have to do and after a time of reflection you will finally make it, maybe it's that conversation or pick up something you left in their car. Whatever the situation is you know this needs to be solved.
- What is going on?:
(Cards: King of shells; 8 of gems; 10 of shells rev; King of gems; The Lovers // bottom of deck: Queen of roses rev; Judgement.)
This person has deep feelings for you, whatever your connection with them is, they really appreaciate you. They see you as someone important for their life but they feel like they have to set some boundaries with you, they are trying to make everything the better way possible but they feel like they are trying to hard and you are not offering them the same commitment. Right now you two are having a hard time when it comes to the relationship, there's a feeling of sadness and missing eachother's presence. If you are in no contact situation they are really missing you but they know they have to give you this space. For some of you I see that they are somehow protecting themselves from you, perhaps you have done something that was a red flag for them and they don't know how to handle it because they love you so much but are very afraid of you being toxic for them, by their perspective they are trying to be fair with their feelings but keeping in mind your feelings too.
This person is very emotionally mature, they want to understand your point of view and what you expect from this connection but things haven't been clear between both of you and that led to little misunderstandings that ended up in a bigger one. You need to be more grounded to think clearly, right now the choice is in your hands to give a step forward or stand where you are, if you take the time to see things with perspective you will realize that this person has been truthful and honest with you but you may dealt with this relationship based in patterns from your past. Deep down you know there's a lot of love here and you know your person has an special place in their heart for you but you could feel scared of being vulnerable, don't be afraid to open your heart to this person, they will take a good care of it, the last thing they would want is to harm you and you are aware of it. Try to be realistic and watch the situation in a colder view, don't let your inner fears stop you from being happy.
- What you can't see:
(Cards: 1. Ghost of the pumpkin field; 5. Halloween spirits // bottom of deck: 4. Angel of snow; 17. Surprisingly lonely.)
Well baby, your heart screams for tender and care. There's a deep wound you have inside related to love and trust, you might have been betrayed, rejected or cheated in your past connections, you had lived stressful situations where you had to keep in alert to prevent the damage. You have this alert sense activated and is holding you from trusting other people intentions but I feel that you are aware of this tendency but it's hard to change old patterns. You have some phychic talents that talk louder and clearer when your mind is at peace but when it comes to people you tend to get blocked (if you are dealing with social anxiety or you are neurodivergent the contact with nature and animals is very helpful to release stress). Take some days for you to find the answers within you, your guides are really close to you in this moment of your life and want to help you. Remember and reclaim all your power, you deserve to be happy and the Universe is waiting to fulfill your life with blessings but you are the only one responsible of opening the door for them. Watch over the signals of your guides, the will try to approach you through signs and synchronicities.
- The purpose of this connection:
(Cards: engagement; wedding; reconciliation; this could be the one // bottom of deck: heart to heart conversations; forgiving and learning.)
This is a challenge for you my dear, your commitment is being tested. You wanted a real connection with pure feelings and Universe listened to your requests, you are seeing your desires manifest in your reality but fear is clouding your sight. If this is a romance connection this will end up in marriage, if you are in the first stages of the relationship the will have an offering of engagement and make your relationship more grounded. Soon there will be a chance to openly talk about your feelings and your perspective of this connection, this talk will give you a lot of hope and peace, they will clear up all of your doubts and will listen carefully with a lot of interest for everything you want to tell them, they really appreciate if you open up to them. After this you will feel lighter and hopeful, the past will weight less everyday and everything you've been through will get a meaning,
While I write I keep listening in my mind the song "I won't say I'm in love" from Hercules movie, Ariana Grande has a cover too. I recommend you to listen the song and then come back to tell me if it resonated 🥰.
- Positive affirmations:
I am healthy and full of energy
I live everyday with a positive mindset
I am aligned with the Divine in every aspect of my life
Tumblr media
Green: -Current energies:
(Cards: 40. Creative collaboration; 16. All that glitters rev; 1. Yang rev // 37. Never ending story rev; 46. Regeneration.)
You are very open to dialogue and comunication with your person, you really want to make this connection work great and develop into something more. You are giving the best of you for this relationship trying everything in your hands to keep this person in your life, there's a lot of loyalty and commitment by your side but from your person I don't see the same energy. Your person is wearing a mask with you, they are not being completely open with their intentions torwards you and deep inside you know it. They are not being trustworthy and probably there are some lies around them or they have told you some lies to introduce themselves so much better that they really are, be careful with this person they are not what you think they are. They remind me of Prince Charming from Shrek, looking very graceful on the outside but with a huge ego and narcissistic tendencies.
Keep yourself safe from this person because they are delaying your healing process, even if you aren't aware of this they are draining your energies because yours are pure and sweet and theirs feels like a jar of tar. You are in an evolution process but I feel like you repeat a pattern when it comes to relationships of this nature, idk if it's romantic, friendship or family but something keeps repeating in your life. Sensitive people use to attract narcissistic personaliities to our lifes because we are their mirror of what they want to become but their ego doesn't allows them, if this is your case you owe yourself and your feelings protection and caring.
For the outcome of this connection you got the Yang card in reverse, the ones that are protecting you from higher realms are trying to protect you from a painful ending. This connection is not going further because they got nothing positive to give you and you need to accept this. I know it's disappointing, my dear but you have so much more to loose if you keep this connection going and you don't deserve someone emotionally irresponsible who's going to drain the happiness of your life.
- What is going on?:
(Cards: 6 of shells rev; the Tower; 2 of gems; 4 of shells; 3 of roses rev // bottom of deck: the Hanged Man rev; Princess of roses rev.)
There's a lot of imbalance in this connection, the care and affection you are handing is draining your energies and a Tower moment came to stop this harmful situation. For some of you I see a no contact situation with this person after that Tower, despite of the dissapointment this situation has made a positive change within you. Something inside you has made a click in your perspective and attitude torwards this connection perhaps even the way you deal with this kind of connections, you've realized some hidden truths about this person while that Tower moment, maybe the way they acted or perhaps they said something that made you start having doubts.
After a time for thinking and reevaluating the connection you will get clear conclusions, you'll end up giving a step back and leave this connection in the past to find more fulfilling and balanced connections. You will set healthy boundaries for your own wellbeing and I see like a time for healing your heart from past connections that were painful experiences too. Your perspective will shift and you will be your priority, congratulations sweetheart.
- What you can't see:
(Cards: 26. Carousel faerie; 17. Surprisingly lonely // bottom of deck: 29. Shallow grave; 2. Absinthe faerie.)
Maybe you are feeling like you repeat always the same situations but with different people, if you feel like this it is because it's a pattern you repeat in your connections with other people, this could be a karmic lesson as well. For some of you I see that the loss of someone you loved so much left a deep wound in your heart that you haven't taken the time to heal and it's conditionating you current life, you really miss this person or what they represented in your life. If they were someone you felt a very strong bound with you're unconsciously trying to find someone that complements you the same way this person did.
This hurt is leading you to have a mindset that attracts negativity to your life, your holding to tight to your chains and you're not allowing your beautiful soul to feel free. Cut this karma and never let it control your life ever again, take your time to close this cicle of your life and move forward to brighter horizons, you deserve honest and caring people in your life and they are out there somewhere in the world waiting to meet such a lovely person like you.
- The purpose of this connection:
(Cards: you deserve to be loved; chemistry; deception // bottom of deck: karmic relationship; pay attention to red flags.)
As I said this is mostly karmic, a person who comes to your life to teach you everythinng you don't want for your future. With this kind of connections we use to feel an strong chemistry from the first moment, almost like fireworks but as fast as the feeling comes as fast is leaving, this can be felt as a big deception for you because you had such high expectations of this person. You trusted them and you overlooked the red flags this person had, there's nothing wrong about that, it just means that you tend to look the good in everyone and that's something admirable, if there were more people with your heart the world would be such a more beautiful place. Remember that we give and see what we have on the inside, you gave love, compassion, understanding and care to this person, you focused on the best traits about them watching only the good. Feel proud of yourself for being so emotionally strong and wise and put yourself first, you are the only one who knows your emotional needs and you are the best person in the world to satisfy them, you deserve all the love in the world but first you need to know what kind of love you are able to accept.
- Positive affirmations:
I express my true self with no fear
I express myself in positive ways
I am free to say no when something isn't the best for me
I am safe when I look within to find inner peace

Shipping thingy, go ig? (Also kinda ranting about my ships)
(Romantic and idk of sexual can be applied here (points to my aspec headcanons)
Now I may or may not be the one behind the term "poliamroy", now known to show Poli, Roy and Amber in a polyamorous relationshio, but I just adore these gals.
Although I do like Polroy, whatever ship name will Mark × Bucky have, and Sandber, although Sanber is so far the only one not canon in most of my AUs so far (maybe in (In)Security? And yes, that parenthesis is important)
My crack ships, however, are Carry/Keaton, Truck X/C4L4M17Y (aka a psychopatic and monstrous vehicle...thing...she'll be seen soon on WTPB/P.O.L.I.), and Poli/Amnesia (WTPB/P.O.L.I. is not the only AU of mine that have that ship...shhhh)
For kiddos (mostly Daily Life, but I'm comin' to get the ones shown in the main show like Annie and Jessie...I'm coming to yeet angst and lore at Mach 88 at those who I find >:) /j) I got something going on for the Modfall versions. But so far, the only thing I can tell you is Jenny/Mary because it's both obvious in my designs of them and any interaction I'll show about the AU. Don't worry, none of the ships are sexual, just crushes that can work it out, and the Modfall kids are also teens.
(Platonic)
Now don't get me started on this one, especially for Helly. Bro will get all the bitches because of his personality but instead of starting a harem, he just starts a breakfast club that may or may not be plotting the end of the world. /hj
Mostly, it's just gotta be Jin&that gas station girl (using the & and / system of AO3 identifying ships, &=familial/platonic and /=romantic/sexual), the rest of the Rescue Teams unmentioned, also Helly & anyone from outside of RCP, most of the Daily Life kids, and I haven't got into this part well yet.
(Familial)
Oh boy, this is where the lore fuck-ups happen. Depending on AU, it varies A FUCKING LOT, but what is consistent are 1) Helly treating the older RTs as his parents, 2) Poli getting uncle status on any young RT member, 3) and Roy always vibing with any Jin AU's mother.
For WTPB/P.O.L.I., there are a lot of adoptions, and even there will be a future plot point surrounding it. This one is highly confidential, but as I can say here...Jin knows Poli more than Poli knows himself, Helly still have connections to someone in the military he calls bro, and Roy is adopted by a WW2 veteran when he was a juvenile.
For (In)Security, Amber is Helly's foster mother, Helly's bro is...dead, Poli/Price's parents are fucking homophobic cray-cray, and Roy/Rhode got a bad relationship with his father. Jin has a similar role to Tessa, but her parent is still Steve Harrison (also WTPB!Jin's dad).
As for Modfall...shh......
And for that new AU, "Poli"/Mr. Robinson is Harley/Helly's godfather.
That is all...Dave away from this bullshit!
*screams in ace*
woah, thats a LOT of relationship hcs you have there!
youre so creative!! to think you can make so many relationships and write so much amazes me, love your aus! they're great
rooting for your aus honestly!!

Its been a decent couple of months of productive work, so it's sadly time for a schedule change. I'll be posting pages two weeks apart again. Details provided below if you're curious as to why.
In all honesty there's no big dramatic reason this time around. I've just slowly lost drive to work on Dread Not as often and as thoroughly as I used to be able to. As I said in one of my previous posts (that sounded suspiciously like this one), I want to focus on other projects as well. One of those is my personal art blog, which I've neglected even though I've had art on the backburner that I've been meaning to post for AGES. Kingdomrune is another one of those, where I have shit I could post that I just... never did. Dread Not takes a lot of time and I miss being able to dedicate that time to consuming media instead of just grinding and trying to produce my own. One of the most important things to do as an artist is to broaden your horizons and take in as much art as you can, to diversify and expand what you know and what you can make. But, when all day every day I'm just sitting and drawing my own thing, it's like I have tunnel vision and my creative resources run dry. It's starting to feel weirdly soulless on my end, because I don't feel nearly half the inspiration to make the pages as I did when the big hiatus ended. It's all dependent on time and exposure, and I can only crunch for so long before it starts to feel damaging to me instead of fun and creatively fulfilling.
So what does this mean, practically speaking? Well, for one, I'm spacing out the page upload for the rest of Act 1, as previously mentioned. I'm well aware this will kill the pacing and it'll drag out longer than it theoretically needs to, but I'd even rather that than trying to rush out a page in the Two Days I have free this week (yeah, ONLY two days free out of the ENTIRE week. Don't ask me why it's not even my fuckin' fault this time). If pages become even more scarce than 1 page per 2 weeks, blame it on college. I'm getting new subjects and I don't even know the class schedule yet. Concerning Act 2 though, I'll be changing the structure of the pages from their core. I'll be switching to a different drawing software (probably Krita, suck my dick Photoshop) so it'll take some getting used to. I can't even promise bonus content or anything during the necessary break between acts because of that shift in software happening, I've never done a massive technical move like this. However, it'll allow me to, not only work on Dread Not better, but expand my art overall, so it's definitely worth it. I've wanted to get into animation for YEARS and Krita seems like an okay place to start (the gif on this post WAS made with Photoshop, but shitty gifs are about all I can make as animations in Photoshop). Act 2's style will, predictably, differ heavily from Act 1 and (with how long writing the dialogue alone for it is taking), it might end up being Longer than Act 1, too. Visually, it'll probably be something like cleaned up and coloured sketches, with simpler colour palettes and simpler (big airquotes) visuals overall, and it'll speed up the process and possibly allow me to post more than one page at a time. Possibly. That's not a promise.
I'm sorry if that's disappointing to anyone, but I physically can't make myself continue the current artstyle across all acts. It's just not feasible.
For those curious about the FARTHER future of Dread Not, I have plans to turn Act 3 into a series of fics rather than full comic pages, and something maybe a bit more insane for Act 4. I don't have everything figured out yet, and I don't want to make any false promises or give any grand ideas I won't be able to commit to, since only time will tell how my creativity will flow years from now. If you all want more content from me specifically, again I'm planning on reviving my art tumblr like a half buried zombie, and you'll probably see more there than you bargained for once I actually get into the habit of posting things. If you're mayhaps interested in my original stuff, keep your eyes peeled for a guy called Duro, I might start posting about him some time soon.
As always, thank you for your patience, and apologies again if this news was disappointing to anyone. I'm just one guy and this comic is a titan of biblical proportions. I'll keep you all posted on any further developments and plans for the future! Stay tuned!

Sketch Showcase Time!!!
Sooooooooo, these are days two and three of my "Learning How-To Draw Pinky and Brain Phase." And, y'all, I think I found my groove! This is attempt 2 of drawing Pinky:
Tumblr media
Already, I'm very pleased with this. I mean, this was my attempt to re-create Pinky's design by @goosieboosie. I'm not a digital artist, so I couldn't capture all the majesty of this design perfectly, but I did a decent job. This style allows me to draw Pinky's face a lot easier, and I can get more creative with facial features. I was really happy when I finished this, I kinda freaked out because, he looks great!! I even drew my gender/sexuality headcanons for Pinky beside him, as well as his signature because, why not? I tried to re-draw this picture a few hours later and I made a new discovery:
Tumblr media
Sorry for the blurry pic! But yeah, I think I invented my own unique style!! This is the first version of this; there a few changes from my first re-draw. The main changes are Pinky's eyes being rounder, and his ears a little bit larger. I think the base shape of his head is also a little different. I think he looks so derpy!! I was instantly in LOVE with this updated design, so I decided to draw it again and:
Tumblr media
The design is a little different again! And also, my first expression!!!! (Ignore the weird as hell erased Pinky head you see; it was a massive failure and I couldn't erase it all :( ) I really think the Pinky on the left turned out better than I thought!! I love his cute little face and his extra floofy head. The second pic is another kind of model pic, but I added a little tongue because it looked cute. I also added the mind bubble and the little blurb just for added effect. I think he looks cute, what do you guys think?
On day three/attempt 3, I actually doodled a Pinky without looking at a reference in one of my books because I was in school. Here's how it turned out:
Tumblr media
I LOVE IT!!!! I was so shocked when I finished with this because I think Pinky looks amazing!! It's not perfect, but when compared to day one, it's like night and day. This is my favorite Pinky I've done so far, and it only took my like 25 minutes; what an improvement when compared to over an hour just for one drawing lol! I've made some small changes here, and I will continue to make changes for the time being. I'm still finalizing my style.
Later on, I did something I'm very proud of:
Tumblr media
My first full-body Pinky!! I drew the body first and then added a head in later. I also marked certain areas that I might improve upon later, and little personal touches that I added for fun. Yeah, I think his head is a little too tall, but I'll fix that. I implemented some unique elements such as his muzzle area being based on the OG show, the tufts of fur on his head being longer, the chest fur, his feet being stuffed-animal like, his short legs (which will probably be longer in the future), and his tail being from the reboot. I am currently working on hands; they're just not ready yet. I'm very excited to see my own personal style being formed. I like all the touches I added and I'm excited to maybe work on some screenshot re-draws and other things like that.
Tumblr media
Here are some hand sketches. Hand are EXTREMELY HARD for me so I'm trying to get an idea of what I want to do. I was either thinking of the one on the left (larger fingers, rounder shapes) or the one on the right (more angular, slimmer fingers). Idk, which hand style do yo guys think would work better?
I'm very proud of the progression I made on these designs. I'm currently planning on drawing Brain very soon and I will be doing screenshot re-draws, experimenting with changes to eye shape, and more expressions. I'm also writing still (new fic currently a wip), and I'm very excited to be contributing more to the fandom!! Let me know where I can improve and some tips on how to draw their hands. Also, special thanks to @cosmicangel139 for the drawing tips for Brain!! You are amazing and I will definitely keep those tips in mind!!!!

If there’s a third season in the future, what do you hope to see?
Mine are:
1. More Mkulia. And they somehow find a way to gain control of their team.
2. Raj and Wayne got separated into two teams, I want to see how they deal with their own team and their thoughts of compete against each other.
3. Add two more characters and make it 3 teams with 6 person.
4. An unexpected villain arc for a originally good character and let them win. (I kinda want to see Damien got one after he knows Total Drama well enough.)
gonna ramble about my s3 wishes under cut. i'll probably come up with more as the days go by:
i just think we deserve a girl vs girl finale. too many missed opportunities for one. i need to see girl success.
i love julia, but let's give the main antagonist role to someone like, oh i dunno, the contestant who has sworn vengeance on this cast during both of her eliminations maybe? (i'm looking at you scary girl. keep your word! make it to the dang merge and make their lives hell! i've written an analysis for you and everything!)
i don't even care if nichelle wins anymore (and that's saying a lot coming from me), but can we PLEASE just PLEASE get her to the merge at least? i am so sick of people calling her niche-L like STOP 😭 can we TRY with her character instead of making it into a gag? just a little attempt?? for me??? (as you can see, i am staring hard at the only two contestants from this gen who didn't make the merge in both seasons)
give us a challenge at night. give us a swimming challenge. give us alt outfits. give us new settings. give us some creativity and fun. we deserve it. the island is cool but imagine if we were quite literally anywhere else. your ratings will peak.
i would also like to see the hockey bros on separate teams, especially after wayne has seemingly gotten over his fear of being on a different (hockey) team than raj. it would be interesting for their characters imo!
no central romance plot i BEG. put that big binder AWAY. not saying we can't have a romance plot (i think they can be cute and nice!), but let's just make sure it isn't the central plot or i'll lose my mind <3
make mkulia canon you cowards. i know i just said no central romance plot but like. we can still make this a subplot if we try hard enough.
i need more drama in total drama. like. let's make the drama STICK instead of having it rushed and solved in the span of an episode. long lasting tension leaves the audience gagged and wanting more. if we gotta make longer seasons then so be it! (oh how i miss the longer seasons...)
if y'all don't make emma and bowie talk next season like........... do not separate the besties like this! bring them back!
and speaking of my fav white girly—we need her to get some plot. i do not ever want to see her eliminated the way she was ever again. that was heartbreaking!
if we can't make a world tour/musical season happen again, first of all, BOOOOO THAT SUCKS, and second of all, can we at least squeeze in a musical episode? i gotta hear them sing, i'm sorry... my musical phase is never-ending i fear
you know that one intern? the one with the really good design? it would be soooooo cool if they made her a contestant to fill in a contestant quota or something. it would be sooooo cool 😇 don't you guys think it would be sooooo cool?

Welcome everyone to Neo's personal ASKBLOG!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
->Where we shall discuss everything from favorite things to munch on to whatever happened while at the Nexus :D
a drawing is meant to be here just gimme a minute to finish it teehee
--SOME QUICK RULES BEFORE WE START--
I feel like every askblog needs to have a set of them, so here you have some really (i guess) basic rules
1.- THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This is an oc AskBlog taking place in an OC centric Rise of the TMNT apocalypse AU in which earthlings managed to get the upper hand before and at the moment of the apocalypse that happens in the first segment of the movie, leading to much more of a "normal" life while still in the ruins and in imminent danger thanks to the Krang. My OC is in this universe alongside some of my friends' OCs that started this AU, some of them have followed my lead and created askblogs for themselves :D I'll leave links to them right here if you wanna check them out (will update as more askblogs are created)
Dahlia a.k.a. the mother &lt;3
Sho a.k.a. the other (technically first) grumpy emo child
Tysk a.k.a. the sweetest sister :3
Glitzi a.k.a. sciencey chaos child
!!!! I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT THIS BLOG IN BOTH THE ROTTMNT AND OC LORE CONTEXT IS SEMI-CANON !!!! Anything that happens here is affected by pre-established lore but may not necessarily affect future events! so I don't have to worry about timeline issues lmao My sona might make some appearances too from time to time so if you see a star themed gremlin from time to time that's me hiii :D
2.- THE MUSE/CHARACTER
Neo "Turmoil" Sone Cruz, my silly RotTMNT hybrid oc that you'll get to uncover lore of as the askblog progresses! Basic information would be that they were a child fighter at the Nexus from 8-13 years old, escaped, and much later in life at 17 got adopted by the Kaylus family. Now, at the age of 19, they're moody and sarcastic mostly but for this blog they get to be a bit more laid-back since most of the sad stuff has already happened to them. most of them.
3.- THE MUN/OWNER
DeesOhTee/superneovastar which is ME!! and just me (for now unless a friend offers to co-manage the blog or smth)
4.- MY BOUNDARIES N STUFF
No NSFW pls!!! even though the character is not a minor I'd feel very iffy since this character is still very much a teen and means a lot to me personally :)
Anything that makes me uncomfortable will be rightfully deleted.
If you have any questions that are not related to my OC directly but more like the worldbuilding or me the creator, ask away! Also counts for any confusion you might have about these rules but AS ALWAYS be decent about it and don't be a weirdo ty :3
5.- ASK AND ANONS
1. One question per ask please! You may have two only if they’re directly related.
2. M!A is allowed, to a degree. M!As need to be something that could reasonably happen in the apocalypse and mystic context of Rise. For example, if the situation allows it, something like “Neo loses connection while on a mission” or "Neo accidentally stumbles upon a stash of mystic potions and shenanigans ensue" would be allowed. If it's a rlly creative ask maybe I'll give it a chance for the sake of "the funnie and the sillie"
3. IF YOU ARE GLITZI you may have a pass for M!As but only if you run it thru me personally beforehand. But nothing too wild and please always think about stuff that would, again, fit in the context (plushies and alt timelines r fine with me cus i love them as long as u follow these rules :3).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given these rules into consideration, I wish you a happy time asking away ur most ridiculous questions to my wet cat of a character :) have fun!!

craft essay a day #5
my response to this one maybe derailed a little.
"On Imagination" by Mary Ruefle
beginner | intermediate | advanced | masterclass 
filed under: process, poetry
summary
first i must describe to you the physical object that is this essay:
it is a chapbook (published by Sarabande Books, an indie poetry press i really admire), which means it is more or less a staple-bound pamphlet. there is a goat on the cover. inside, on each even-numbered page, is a picture: an ocean wave, a lettuce leaf, the night sky, a bed, 3 fish, a bird in a tree, a pie, 4 dyed eggs, a human ribcage, grass, trees, a slug, and the goat that is on the cover, whose presence permeates the essay.
on the back of the chapbook, instead of blurbs, there is a quote in very small font:
"My imagination was roaming at sunset and placed his bare foot on a blade of withered grass, which ran into it like a thorny needle, and injured him."
this quote appears not to be attributed, which makes me think i should know what it's from, and i don't.
Ruefle has a collection of essays called Madness, Rack, & Honey (published by Wave Books, another great poetry press) which is one of my favorite craft books and i highly recommend it. it'll be a while before i summarize the chapters, though, since i only recently finished reading it.
i've been lucky enough to attend several of her lectures, and although i got a lot out of them, when i go back and look at my notes, they are utterly indecipherable:
Tumblr media
partly this is because, as you can see, my handwriting is not legible. but it's also partly because this particular lecture was kinda bonkers. i've been waiting for her to publish it in written form but i don't think she has yet. "Hell's Bells" is my second favorite of her lectures (Ruefle's lectures and essays are one and the same), my favorite being "On Fear" which i'm sure i'll write about in a future post.
still laughing at "does the artist...become time?" with the star beside it (which in my notes always indicates an Action Item, so in 2018 i clearly intended to Do Something about becoming time). also "put a hole in meaning - give space, aerate?" then in pink, "(how?)" i also apparently intended to Do Something about "Beginning of universe was striking of tremendous bell."
another lecture of hers i attended was a recreation of John Cage's "Lecture on Nothing," and i am ashamed to say that it took me so, so long to realize it was literally a lecture on nothing. i wrote like 3 pages of notes and about a half hour in, i flipped through the pages and realized literally nothing of substance was being said. and i was furious. like, why am i wasting my time here? and i realized i was supposed to be having a reaction to it, and thinking about the nature of the concept of a lecture at a creative writing workshop, and what am i even doing here, etc.
in retrospect, that spoke well to the "Hell's Bells" lecture, which, for me, was all about how listening is sometimes just about hearing, and not trying to make meaning of all that we hear. as someone with an audio processing problem who has to attend a lot of readings and can't understand a word of them, it made me feel a lot better. like i could attend a reading just to appreciate the voice of the writer (which Ruefle likened to a bell), and not what's being said.
at the end of the lecture on nothing, Ruefle took questions, and responded to each of them with the answers provided in the original lecture. it was quite a time.
back to "On Imagination."
in any Ruefle essay/lecture, there is not much to summarize because they function more or less as poems: each is a series of thoughts or anecdotes on a general topic, and never firmly declare their point. however, on the first page, she does make a pretty big declaration:
"I am going to tell you now, before I begin, what my conclusion is to my thoughts on the imagination: I believe there is no difference between thinking and imagining, and that they are one."
to me, that's the kind of statement that's so simple it seems almost meaningless, but i know if i consider it long enough, i'll reach a deeper conclusion about it. since i finished reading this essay 37 minutes ago, i have no such deeper conclusion as of yet.
i appreciate that on page one, she also points out that thought is only ever an interpretation of reality, and words exist only to conjure meaning in the imagination. when a person says the word "tree" to another person, the recipient of that word can mentally conclude or conjure the object that is a tree. we can always refer to a tree, but in speaking it or thinking it, it does not become real.
she declares that imagination is not necessarily good; imagining things can hurt us as equally as help us, and we don't really have control of it.
"...the imagination has its own life and its own autonomy, the imagination is not what you play with, the imagination plays with you."
she introduces an anecdote in which a poet, after a reading, is asked, "is that a real poem, or did you make it up?" and concludes her point with a fact that punched me right in the face:
"Real things are made things."
she goes on to talk about an elementary school reading primer from 1880, Ukranian dyed eggs, Johnny Cash, a misinterpretation of the bible by Keats, and a goat in Emily Dickenson's attic. each of these, somehow, connect and make sense, yet i cannot attempt to do so in a (not so) brief summary.
"Imagination, deep in each of us, can give us what we need and want, that which we dream of, the reality of love and communion, help in our tired loneliness."
yeah :(
she notes that many believe some people have more imagination than others, and that's why there are artists and not-artists, but she claims we all have the same amount of imagination; it's just that some of us don't discriminate between "imaginative and unimaginative acts" and that paying close attention to the mundane "paradoxically opens a new door to the imaginative."
i am having trouble figuring out how the end of the essay is about imagination. she talks about how, in her old age, she feels isolated in her interests, and that because she has a limited future, she's only motivated to dwell in the present.
"All I can tell you is that at long last I am myself and free, even if isolated, and I am happy when I want to be and sad when I feel like it, and about the only thing that troubles me is knowing how many people on earth do not have that privilege...and to these I bow and for these I pray."
my thoughts
this got kind of personal, so i'm putting it under a cut.
i rated this essay advanced, not because i think it's hard to understand, but that it goes beyond the work of beginner and intermediate essays, which focus primarily on mechanics and concepts and how to get the work down on paper. this essay makes no real claim about writing, and i imagine wouldn't help anyone looking for advice on how to write.
a few days ago i wrote about Smiley's introduction in 13 Ways to Look at the Novel. that, coupled with the Ruefle essay, have fucked me up a little. in Smiley's intro, she talks about how she always had one foot in the fictional worlds of her novels at the cost of her presence in reality. in Ruefle's essay, she talks about the uncontrollability of imagination. i've never considered myself a creative person; i think in expected patterns and can't really devise anything truly novel. that's why i consider myself more a teacher than a writer--i'm better at fostering creativity in others than developing it in myself. i am, however, an imaginative person. i never stop imagining. i'm so imaginative that existing in reality is sometimes unbearable. even things that make me happy--seeing my family, hanging out with friends, reading a book--come second to dwelling (drowning?) in my imagination. i have to pry myself away to go do those things. when i'm really into something i'm working on, i can write over 10k in a day. i can write from the second i wake up at 9am to the moment, usually at 3am or so, my brain can no longer make clear sentences, stopping only throughout to eat a spoonful of peanut butter and maybe reply to a text.
these are the kinds of days i live for. they make me truly happy. and yet there's such an enormous cost to them: i'm beginning to have hand problems, and i have so little control of writing that i can't force myself to stop and let it heal (i did upgrade to an ergonomic keyboard and mouse but they're not helping as much as i'd hoped); i'm no nutritionist, but i'm pretty sure 3 tablespoons of peanut butter a day and walking fewer than 100 steps is not particularly healthy; and big picture, i want to get married and have kids, and that's not going to happen if i'm spending all my time in my imagination with fictional characters getting married and having kids. and if i somehow against all odds do get married and have kids, will i be able to be fully present with them, or will i always in the state i am now, counting down the seconds when i can escape reality and return to the peace of my own head?
i think this is a conflict i'll always have, because ultimately i'm writing work i'm proud of to an audience that (i hope) appreciates it. writing and being read is the greatest privilege i can imagine. but i'm also always thinking about my dad, who died at 59 after enduring years of agonizing pain and a lifetime of trauma and depression, and how he never got to do a fraction of the things he wanted. i imagine myself at the same age less than 30 years from now with the same fate, if i am even so lucky to make it to that far. i'm in this between space of the hopefulness of being young, of the gross entitlement of believing things will keep getting better for me; and the hopelessness of ptsd, the kernel of doubt that remains even after so long in recovery, that joy and success are never owed to me. rationally i know both of these to be true, that there will be some good and some bad, and whatever happens will never turn out as i expect. and yet that doesn't abate the conflict or quell the fear that the conflict creates.
it is probably a bad idea to write about my deepest fears and insecurities on a blog with thousands of followers. it's easy to be misinterpreted and taken out of context. honesty is totally antithetical to branding or gaining a following. and yet i think i'd rather be known than not. i think i'd always prefer to take a risk in the hope of being understood.
i'm sorry i have no conclusions or advice or anything helpful to say here. but imagination is a big thing. it's the biggest thing. in allowing us the power to interpret and create, it might be the only thing.

Anything about any of your fics ⭐💜⭐
Hello!!! Thanks for asking <3 Okay so I'm going to talk about the Steddie LARP AU in general!
[ AO3 Link to the series ]
I've said things here and there about it, but the reception to it had been so good for something that I gave maybe two seconds of thought to when I opened the empty document and started typing.
Originally it was supposed to be a whole 'omg STEVE is asking ME to teach him how to play DND?' thing where Eddie falls in love with Steve (ofc) and they play relatively normal games together and slowly discover things about each other that they can carry into real life - a type of fic that explores their personalities in depth and is kind of interwoven in a more subtle and Themes kind of way (For example, personality traits that Steve has that come out through his character, NOT on purpose, just things that influence things anyway. And maybe Eddie falls in love with the kind of guy his character is first, and THEN realizes Steve is who he's actually in love with, I never really got to that part) Instead what I wrote was like. Way hornier and maybe a less direct way of exploring their personalities but somehow way less subtle too. Usually when I write I try to add in lots of clues to the other person's experience despite not having their POV in the fic, lots of body language and guessing/assumptions from the POV character, etc. But in this one Eddie really sees Steve as like... maybe on a pedestal still even after the events of the fourth fic, STILL untouchable despite all of the sex, even if he's in love with him. I don't know if I'll ever write a Steve POV for this because I think a lot of the tension and mystery comes from Eddie just... not fully understanding Steve because he just doesn't ask - he assumes a LOT, is scared of a lot too (not the sex itself, even when he knows he's letting Steve push his limits, he LOVES to push his own limits he gets BORED) I have some things cooking up - mostly more sexy limit pushing, but I do have big ideas for like, Future LARP AU, things I've talked to with a friend (and other things I've talked to a few people about). I'm making no promises, this was originally a lowkey no pressure thing to write and I'm keeping it that way, but it IS a great way to write certain themes.
Also, I don't know if it shows, but it was actually a struggle to write Eddie being in charge in the fourth fic, I got so used to this version of him letting Steve do whatever creative and crazy shit his mind cooked up, but I think I managed to turn it out well! I think domming for him specifically is less of an intense experience to begin with, having the control that way and keeping his head on straight to stay responsible for everyone's safety is going to keep him rooted in reality more than being able to just let go and stew in whatever Steve's making him feel.
I think he also could really get into it if Steve ever lets him take control again - depends on what I feel like writing/how the story ends up flowing, but Steve REALLY enjoyed kneeling for Eddie - because like anything it'd take practice and experience to feel comfortable getting super into it without worrying so much.
Also, I know they have a lot of great sex and cum a million times, but one of the major themes of this series is edging and anticipation. I know at least one of my friends is ready to chew on drywall because they haven't kissed yet <3

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #5
As predicted, the mild sniffles I had yesterday are just about gone today! But also, since I got my immunity to The Plague boosted, I'm just a little bit tired. But that's okay. Unpleasant things are often only temporary, and if you leverage them right, you can weave unpleasant things into good things in the future - good things like temporary immunity to The Plague, in this case! Ahahaha~! Though I'm a bit tired, I still had enough energy to strain the broth today! Check it out:
Tumblr media
It looks a lot better now, doesn't it? I'm pretty pleased with how the color turned out! And my house still smells AMAZING after letting it simmer for a day and a half. Right now, it's in the fridge to let any fats rise to the surface and solidify. Later, I'll scoop out the fats, incorporate them into some flour, and then incorporate the flour into the rest of the broth; the result will be a very smooth, rich consistency that is good for a variety of things! I thought I would have energy to get it all done today, but I don't; all that squishing of the excess water out of the scraps and back into the pot has left my arms and hands super tired, because unlike you, my body is kinda weak and noodley, hahaha! So instead, I decided to make myself some tea and relax a bit. I make tea a lot, and so by now, I have what I like down to a science! I'll show you:
Tumblr media
This is my tea thermos! It holds 34 oz of fluid (or about 1 liter, if metric is more your speed)! This morning while I was doing my things, I was delighted to find a box of apricot tea that I thought I had lost! So I made some, and added 2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of honey, and 3/4ths of a cup of milk to it! After a lot of experimenting in the past, I found that this is the tea-sweetener-milk ratio that is ideal for my body's sensory hardware; someone else might have a different ratio that is better for them, and that is good too!
I wish I could make a mug of tea for you. But... when is the last time you've had tea, anyway? Do you even like tea? I ask because not everyone does, and that's all right. Maybe you'd prefer coffee? Or juice? Maybe even some kind of fizzy drink? Or just plain water? I wonder... If you do like tea, I wonder which kind you like best! In my world, we have an overwhelming number of different kinds of tea - thousands and thousands of them! Lots of them use the leaves of camellia sinensis, but others use different kinds of herbs, fruits, and whatever else people can think of! Often, people will blend various different things together to come up with entirely new teas! The folks of my world are astoundingly creative, and so there's almost no limit to the number of very beautiful and very delicious things that exist here! I wish I could show them all to you! In particular, there was this one kind of tiramisu tea that a company called Teavana used to make, back when it still existed. This was my favorite tea until it ceased to exist; I've not found any other suitable substitute quite yet. It had black tea leaves, blended with bits of dried coffee, chocolate, and mascarpone cheese, amongst other things. It was really good all on its own, but if you added just a touch of milk and sugar to it, it became unbelievably decadent, oh my goodness!! I wish I could give you a mug of this stuff! Alas, at this point, it only exists in the memories of the people who used to enjoy it, as far as I know. But I can show you a picture of what it used to look like! Here:
Tumblr media
I hope you get to enjoy tea again soon if it's something that you like; I can't imagine that The Edge of Creation is especially well-stocked with anything that would offer comfort, nourishment, or joy to a living creature, ahaha... ...It's actually really sad to think about you being over there because of that. I have no doubt that you must have seen some astounding and hauntingly beautiful things during your time over there - surely much of it is stuff that I can't even begin to fathom. But a world without things like soup, tea, macaroni and cheese, soaps that smell nice, warm fluffy towels, blanket forts, and people to enjoy stuff like this with... it seems rather empty to me. Or maybe you have a different perspective? Maybe someday, those of my world will be blessed to hear you tell us about what your experiences over there have been like and what you've learned along the way. Maybe you could tell us about it over tea and snacks, even! Wouldn't that be so nice? Please come back to us safe and sound so that such a thing could occur, if to do such a thing with us would be a source of relief, comfort, and joy for you. And if that doesn't sound like a good time to you, then please come back to us safe and sound anyway, because you're still loved and important, even if tea and conversation, as a concept, might seem overwhelming or uninteresting to you - you don't have to perform for others or do what they want in order to be cared about exactly as you are. Until next time. Your friend, Lumine

JESSIE'S 2024 ROADMAP
So, I just wanted to ramble about the projects I have planned out for 2024. I've been very ambitious about some due to being able to afford to invest in them. Of course, art will forever be my #1 ambition and will continue to improve my craft. I'm always finding new ways to improve and exploring new ideas. However; I do have various non-digital art related! And I want to tell you all on my own personal blog about them and what you can look forward from me in the future!
MUSIC PROJECTS
I've actually been taking my time to figure out how FL Studios work, and how to work with it with Audacity. I've been attempting at voice training, so once I'm satisfied with my voice, I'd really love to do lyrics. I'm planning on working out something special for the first quarter of 2024. An EP called "Hear my Voice! (Existence)". I want it to be focused on the progress of HRT and Voice Training and just the idea of artistic freedom and the great feeling it is to be able to create things the way I want after being so long unable to. I don't know, 3 songs sound good for an EP. I want to be crafty and creative with them. I'd love for it to be Lo-Fi Pop Punk. As in, actual Lo-Fi, not the Synthwave kind of Lo-Fi. I want it to be the classic lower quality and lower frequency sounding music. I have a grudging respect for Lo-Fi and what it can represent, so I want to have my own take on it. The other project would be a proper album for once I get the hang of it all. I plan to call it "Celestial Wishes". I so far only have the plans for it to be Pop Punk and be very angelic sounding. I want it to be like heaven answering my wishes to finally do music. Obviously I won't sing about that-! I want it to carry the story of Ponies living life and miracles happening in various ways. How many songs ? God knows! It's only an idea thus far, and will take shape later. Right now I want to focus on making a couple of singles, maybe having one done in December still even. That and focusing on the overall theming and style I want for "Hear my Voice! (Existence)". I'll post all of these on a new Youtube Channel I've created, StardustJessie Music! Subscribe for when I start posting some!
YOUTUBE VIDEOS
I don't know how aware you are, but I do have a Youtube Channel. I primarily post Video Game Analysis Essays. I'm extremely proud of the ones I made this year, those being Deus Ex 2 and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Well, I have two more videos planned out! The first, POKEMON SUN & MOON ARE GREAT AND HERE'S WHY; Which I'm very ambitious and passionate about this idea. Everyone was very quick to defend Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon didn't get that same treatment. I want to be one to defend Sun & Moon, which I have a lot of argument for, and have a lot to say about its history and the state of pokemon in that age. I actually really hated S&M when I first played it and deeply regretted buying Ultra Sun (Which I still do.), so it's almost like a redemption arc for me! I'll have to gather up a shitload of footage though. Pokemon Red, Silver, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Black, X, Alpha Sapphire, Red Team Rescue, Explorers of Sky, Gates to Infinity, Super Mystery Dungeon, Sword, Violet, Rescue Team DX, Sun, Ultra Sun, and more! These are just the pokemon games I'll have to record! Not to count other games I bring up as a precedent and examples like Persona 4 which is some 60 hours of gameplay! So yeah. It's a lengthy project. Thankfully I'm purchasing a 4TB HDD this week so I should be able to gather that much footage without a worry. I imagine I'll only have this done in a year or even 2025! It's a tough project. However; I want to also work on another video! MORROWIND WALKED SO SKYRIM COULD RUN (AWAY WITH MY MONEY); I really despite Skyrim for a lot of reasons. But I really love Morrowind. A lot of the things I see people praise Skyrim are things I genuinely believe they'd have a better time and enjoyment of those aspects if they played Skyrim. I believe I can actually get this video done in 2024 as these games are waaaaaaaaaaaay shorter than all the shit I have to play for a Pokemon project! But even then, Skyrim would be some 30 hours and Morrowind some 15, not to mention any other games I talk about. It's a great topic to analyse and I'll be very ambitious. I should get to write it sometime and have a W.I.P project in mid 2024 so it'll be my annual essay.
BOOK PROJECTS
I'm very interested in writing my own book honestly. Ever since I read Dracula I've considered writing a story that touches on similar themes and ideas and can evolve them further through the lens of 2024. I'm slowly taking shots at it. Sometimes I write a sentence or two. As any Tumblr Writer knows, it's very tough. Be on the look out! Once I have anything concrete I'll definitely post!
I believe this would be it! I don't have many individual projects, but they are ambitious and time consuming projects that I want to have done next year or have something substantial to show in 2024! There are more projects, like my Game Project which I'm very passionate about and have 74 pages of documentation of and still working on it! Since it's on very early planning stage I rather not talk too much. But maybe 2025 roadmap ? Thank you for reading this if you have at all! I just want somewhere to put all my ideas. Who knows. It'll be interesting in 2034 to look back to 22 year old me being so ambitious, while 32 year old me has those ambitions fully realised and onto new projects. This is almost like an archival of my personal artistic ambition and my passion for the crafts of Writing, Visual Arts and Music.

Update on the Chapter 3 Mock Stuff + Some Other Stuff!!
Hey all! It's me, your favorite purple goat with a booty stank upload and sleep schedule, Pompom!
Ever since the newsletter Toby had published on Halloween, I have started to feel less and less encouraged towards continuing my mock Chapter 3 content. On top of lacking any sort of consistent motivation towards making music like I used to have, it seems like we're nearing the release of Chapter 4 sometime within the next couple of years. Now, that's exciting, for sure! And, while it may seem like a long time, it's been, like, almost half a year since my last uploads, LIGHT THE LIGHTS and Written in Stone, and, while I certainly feel better than I had during that time, there's no denying that I still lack so much of the creative potential I once held, and I'm afraid my motivation has been so lacking, that I can't fathom when I'll ever feel the same again. I would kill to upload consistently again sometime, but it really does feel like I have to be on this little forced hiatus. Darn you, brain!
Well- Apologies for the pseudo vent post! But I only bring this up because, due to these complications, I've decided to just drop what I have now here. This doesn't mean I'll never pick these back up, but I feel terrible for leaving my last upload five months in the past, and I haven't really added anything major to any of these tracks since, well, forever ago! So, if it's something you're interested in, these three are among the primary tracks I was developing for my mock Chapter 3.
"Obligatory Field Area"
Obviously, this track holds no title. I mean, technically speaking, none of them do, but the other two I just decided to play along with the existing naming schemes of Deltarune character tracks (Like "Queen", or "Lancer" (But is that called "I'm the Bad Guy?" I don't really know...)). Meant to be the primary area of the mock chapter, resembling a similar, sprawling "field" to that of Hopes & Dreams and Cyber, this is where you would, inevitably, meet Tenna. The art was just a quick mockup I made and never expanded upon, so excuse the poor quality.
Mike
A (very short) song doodle I was making for Mike, the day host (Think of him and Tenna like Nickelodeon and Nick @ Nite, or Cartoon Network and Adult Swim!). Mike holds a more mature, thoughtful attitude and is much less of a "threat" to the Lightners. Even if he has a notably short temper, he knows how to keep his cool and to remain with his stage face on! Instead of directly stopping the Lightners, he more so just likes fooling with them to keep his audience entertained. That is until partway into the chapter, when a mysterious foe comes to bust the party and kick Mike off the stage...
Tenna
A theme for the Big T himself, Tenna! He's a lot more, uhm.. Obnoxious? Than Mike? Being the night host, he holds a more brash attitude for his more mature audiences, and is a lot less thoughtful than Mike. There's not a lot else to say about him, as that's all I've really had in mind up to now, lol. Probably my favorite theme out of the three, though; Obviously, it's kind of a re-take of my previous "Mike" theme that was just made for funsies.
And that's it, really! Those are the three big songs I was doodling out before my brain said, "No." Perhaps sometime in the future I'll pick these back up and continuing developing my ideas. Thankfully, other than music, I've still been trying to get some stuff done, including prototyping various game ideas pseudo-privately. I do anticipate uploading on Tumblr more, I've just never really had a reason to do so as of yet, lol. Sometime, though, I'd love to eventually start posting about my coding projects, and maybe my art. I've never really worked with social media platforms before, admittedly, but I'll definitely try to at least consider branching out and experimenting more with Tumblr going forward.
Thank you all for the continued support! I hope to continue posting sometime, whether it be about music, coding, or whatever.

Tumblr media
PICK A GUITAR
PILE 1 Channeled song ✰ Mercury ✰ Steve Lacy 9 of pentacles ✰ 8 of swords ✰ strength rx ✰ 3 of wands Don't lose sight of the future, I feel like you get soooo wrapped up into your moments of weakness sometimes. Perhaps you had a severe meltdown recently, or your mental health is just not too great atm.. Be patient, and remember that the future is still bright. There is still abundance in some form that appears in your day to day life. Whether it be an abundance of love, support, money, or creativity. Spiraling & attaching to your negative thoughts/feelings can be addicting because you tend to stonewall shit. You might be someone that people depend on or usually see as their rock- so because you are emotionally starved it can feel addicting to feed into negativity. Prioritize your needs take space more often. Have fun sometimes, engage in casual convos. Maybe take a few days to just disconnect from everyone. king of swords ✰ knight of cups ✰ page of swords ✰ strength This feels like someone's opinion of you? but also in some ways a reflection of you. Perhaps a new connection entered your life, for some it's romantic and for others it's platonic! This person thinks really highly of you and admires your strength, wit, and intellect. There is a sense of mutual excitement and mental stimulation in this connection. A lot of curiosity. I also feel like for those that this is a romantic situation you could get a relationship offer. Or that feelings will be confirmed between you two. This connection might be extremely fulfilling & life changing. I feel like there is also going to be a message of some kind that comes to you soon. It will be something positive, I heard something about a job offer in my head. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ PILE 2 Channeled song ✰ Are you in ✰ Incubus 3 of cups rx ✰ 2 of pentacles ✰ the magician ✰ the fool
So, it's like there's 2 separate circumstances here. Romantic, and Friendship. I'll separate you guys. Romance: Perhaps some of you have either had a wandering eye, or your partner has had a wandering eye. I feel like there was a lot of distrust, pain, dissatisfaction & general chaos regarding 3rd parties of some kind. I see that whatever the situation is, if you two chose to stay together that things are currently balancing out right now. If you're experiencing a lot of weird chaos and full circle moments here's why: a new beginning is right ahead of you. It's possible a lot of manifestations went into this relationship. You won't be disappointed at all the blessings and abundance coming. Friendship: Its possible there was some kind of falling out. Some of you will reconnect with this friend, but others of you will move on just fine. They will pay for what they did, or for those who reconnect you will both take accountability and do better in the future of your friendship & start over. I feel like some of you could've started out in a toxic friend group with this person and you both went off on the side and are still unlearning vicious cycles. on the other end, some of you dealt with a draining, toxic, and GOSSIPY person who betrayed you behind your back repeatedly. Expect the betrayal to go right back to them. You will feel so much freer and happier.
6 of pentacles ✰ ace of cups rx ✰ queen of swords ✰ strength
Okay- so I feel like you guys are honestly really sweet people but have some toxic tendencies. One of them being this tendency to overgive to a point that you are literally unable to function. If your cup is empty you literally cannot fill anyone else's. Common sense babe. You are honestly so intelligent and strong. Don't let people who take advantage of you or make you feel weak bring you down. You need to lean into your communicative nature in a healthier way. You have the strength to overcome ALL hurdles. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ PILE 3 Channeled song ✰ Peso ✰ A$AP Rocky dreams ✰ page of wands ✰ ace of swords ✰ 9 of cups ✰ anchor I feel like this group is locked the fuck down on what they want in life. I honestly have minimal advice for you, nothing you don't already know. Your dreams are attainable, keep exploring ideas. You're doing good not sharing your manifestations and plans with people. Be aware of people trying to look over your shoulder and get intel on you. I can tell that you guys are really focused on the future, ignoring haters & people who try to tear you down with negativity. Keep it up guys. 4 of wands ✰ 4 of pentacles ✰ knight of pentacles ✰ knight of wands There is so much stability here, I really love it. It's clear to me you have a clear idea of what you want and that you have made a lot of headway into whatever it is you're working on. Whether it be yourself, a creative project, or a raise. I feel like whatever you're working on started out really slow, and then picked up a steady and abundant pace but be prepared it might be kicked up a notch. Someone with a small business might expect a lot of orders. Be sure not to overwhelm yourself with your duties. Pace yourself. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ PILE 4 Channeled song ✰ Handful ✰ Father 3 of cups ✰ 8 of wands ✰ queen of wands ✰ strength This group seems to be split like pile 2. I'll be separating the 2 groups. Okay, I feel like some of you really need to shoo away some pests in your life. People who are feeding on your energy, strength, and trying to tap into your possessions I heard? I feel like you know it's time to take action, you have the backin you need. Even if people get mad or "turn their backs on you" they're literally leeches fuck them! It doesn't matter if the fakes feel slighted by your boundaries. Set them, don't live in fear of asserting yourself. For those who are not experiencing that, I feel like you will be celebrating a success soon. Like there was this road you took to self empowerment. Taking control of your life, maybe leaving an abusive relationship, friendship, etc and you've come into a more stable point of your life. I feel like you are being told to use this surge of confidence and energy to put more work into healing and creating a solid emotional foundation for yourself. 8 of cups ✰ the king of wands ✰ 3 of cups ✰ king of pentacles I feel like those of you who are leaving an abusive partner, or friendship are going to find new friends and stability. I feel like there will be so much more consistency in your life. You guys are really likeable and interesting. I feel that people admire your strength and capability. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦
PILE 5 channeled song ✰ king of the hill ✰ Thundercat 8 of cups ✰ 8 of cups ✰ 8 of wands ✰ 8 of swords
The song I'm listening to rn was literally just like "run, run, run" and tbh, RUN. Idk what's going on, or who you're dealing with but you gotta go like yesterday. I feel like there is nothing left for you there or with that person. Whatever the circumstance, it's dead, it's over. If you're looking for a sign this is it. Stop looking for signs that "oh it'll change they'll get better" NO. leave, now, please. So, I decided to pull some more clarifying cards bc these cards are insane. The imagery of this 8 of wands card is a heart shaped target with the wands being spears stabbing into it. One of the wands goes directly through the middle. queen of wands ✰ death ✰ 3 of pentacles ✰ 3 of cups
Romantic: It's possible that whatever situation comes with this individual has run its course. It's possible they are more interested in other people or situations. Maybe they are emotionally unavailable and more interested in friendship. For most though, it's possible this person is just romantically checked out if it's romantic that is. Non-Romantic: Alternatively, this could indicate that there is someone in your life who embodies all the worst traits of the queen of wands. (Violent, savage, unstable, emotionally chaotic, immature, verbally or physically abusive.) Whoever this person is that embodies these traits, you need to let them go. You should also be aware it's possible this person is actively trying to manifest you and cause you some form of harm. Bad news could come to you regarding this person. Perhaps they are trying to re-enter your life. Please be careful.

5 things you never get tired of writing
Tagged by: @professorlehnsherr-almashy 💙
Rules: List five things you never get tired of writing. It can be tropes, themes, characters, phrases, whatever brings you joy. Then tag more writers!
1 - Hurt/Comfort
I think everyone knows by now that this is one of my favourite genres. It's not so much the hurt that draws me to it but the comfort because it often allows the story to end on a hopeful note. Some lovely readers have commented before that reading my fics can feel like being wrapped up in a warm blanket, and I think that describes what I'm aiming for when I write h/c pretty well. I want my stories to be something people can turn to when they have a bad day and are in need of some comfort themselves. If just one of them makes someone smile and feel better then all the time and work that has gone into it will have been worth it.
2 - Small gestures
This goes hand in hand with the above because I love using meaningful / understated gestures as a form of comfort in my fics. My first drafts tend to be a bit self-indulgent when it comes to overtly emotional gestures so I often replace those with something simpler during the editing process: a gentle touch to someone's hand, shoulders brushing against each other, a head resting on someone's shoulder, a heartfelt hug. I find it adds a bit more realism and sometimes even tugs harder at the heartstrings than a kiss would.
3 - Adding something personal
This is purely self-indulgent but I love writing little things into my stories that hold personal meaning. For example, in my Singing Club verse Thomas loves sea shanties because I'm a big fan (and because I figured he might have heard this kind of music on his travels and probably liked the songs about sailors pining for the loves they left behind). I also sometimes draw from personal experiences and include that in my fics (most notable in my Jurassic Park III stories). What I love the most about doing this is that readers won't notice these little personal details I include here and there but I will, and they always make me smile.
4 - Missing Scenes
Expanding on canon will always be my favourite thing when it comes to writing. I know people like their coffee shop AUs and whatnot but I've always been more interested in filling in the blanks and building stories around throwaway lines - canon worldbuilding, essentially. I love coming up with my own versions of what might happen next or what might have happened before, and I love getting into characters' heads and figuring out why they did x in a scene.
5 - Songs
After playing music for decades, I started writing and composing my own songs two or three years ago and have now a list of 30 songs I can call my own, 10 of which have been inspired by Ghosts. It's been such a joy to channel my creativity in that way, and while I know I still have a lot to learn, I can already tell I've made some progress in that short time, especially when it comes to figuring out my own style. I can't wait to see what songs the future will hold for me, and maybe one day I'll feel confident and comfortable enough to share them with the world.
Tagging @magicaltear @ginevralinton @unusual-ly @viola-halogen but as always no pressure 💙
