Hi sweetie! Rewatching the series has stirred ideas. 😁 Pretty please, SFW NSFW headcanons for Aizawa with a quirkless fem s/o. Although she has no quirk, she does have an amazing human talent. For example, maybe she composes amazing music, or she paints incredible paintings, maybe she has an incredible voice and sings, maybe she writes award-winning books. Whatever you choose for her talent, it’s something that she’s dedicated years of hard work (since childhood) to being the best, building a career, and she’s famous for her talent. Thank you! Sending lots of love & hugs! ❤️🤗
Tumblr media
Hello, lovely! I still need to catch up on the new series, but my Aizawa simpery has been rumbling in the back of my head for a while now. I feel like this man is about to make a comeback in a big way.
Characters: Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead
Contents: afab!reader, quirkless reader, mentions of quirkless discrimination, nsfw
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead
SFW
Of all the people least likely to judge someone for not having a Quirk, Aizawa Shouta is your man. Others, even with the best intentions, might have some lingering sense of pity that you don't have a special ability like the rest of the population. Or they might just not be able to deal with stupid comments other people make about their Quirkless partner.
Aizawa doesn't give a shit about you not having a Quirk or about what other people think. He doesn't consider his Quirk-having ass as superior to you in any way—the only advantage his Quirk gives him is to remove other people's, so he's not all that different from you, really.
Now, this talent of yours. The one you've been working on since childhood, the one you've poured hours of sweat, blood, and tears into and now have a thriving career in? That commands enormous respect from Shouta. He appreciates hard work in any form, but to gain such achievement in a skill you weren't born with, that you had to learn and grind and improve slowly, over time? Hell yeah.
That work ethic of yours is probably what drew him to you in the first place. People mischaracterise him as lazy, when he's just exhausted most of the time. When you consider his actual skills—hand-to-hand combat, his capture weapon fighting style, teaching, finding the perfect nap spot—you realise he's got a similar mind set, because none of those skills were part of his Quirk. He can only be a Pro Hero because of the amount of time and dedication he's taken to complement his Quirk and make sure he survives.
You have his full support in your career. Due to his schedule, he might not always be able to attend any associated events, but you knew that when getting into a relationship with a Pro Hero/teacher. He'll be there for you at the critical junctures, and he fully appreciates and supports whatever you create. He'll read your books, listen to your music, etc. It's something you've created and he's all about it.
People call him dour, but we've seen plenty of times where he isn't afraid to give praise that's deserved. You can always rely on him to give constructive criticism and praise what he likes about a certain thing. And he'll straight up admit when he doesn't know enough to give advice. It might not be the effusive, gushing praise you get from your fans, but if you're with Shouta, then you appreciate it nonetheless.
NSFW
Aizawa likes watching people do things they're good at, and this naturally extends to you. Whether that be you at your book signing, at a concert, or an art gallery hosting your latest exhibition, something about seeing you in your element makes him...excited.
You'll be at your event, performing on stage or mingling with your fans, and you'll look up and meet a pair of dark eyes across the room. Shouta, lingering on the edges as always, but watching you with eyes as warm as coals and this smirking smile half-tucked into his scarf. And you just know.
He waits patiently until the event is over, possibly even until the taxi home. But as soon as he has you somewhere semi-private, Shouta's hands are sliding around your waist and he's gonna be leaving stubbly kisses on your neck, muttering about how he doesn't know how you put up with all those people. How he's barely seen you this evening.
"You liar, you were watching me the whole time."
He gives a husky laugh. "True."
The cats are gonna be shooed out of the bedroom, because Shouta needs some private time to show you just how much he appreciates your talents.

Make It Till Midnight, a New Year's Eve one shot set in the Under the Northern Lights universe, is now live on AO3!
Hello everyone, I'm back!!!😁
Although I planned to take a little break after finishing UTNL, I never meant to take an entire year off 😫. I could ramble forever about all the reasons, but it basically boils down to needing to work through my personal issues with perfectionism and self-doubt, wanting to read more and improve my writing skills, and then just good-old-fashioned writer’s block. Even though I still wrote throughout the year, I was in that annoying headspace where I pretty much hated everything I wrote and just didn't feel good about it, so I decided to wait for inspiration to return naturally.
And now I'm finally here to share the story that I've been teasing for over a year! I meant to post this on New Year's Eve, but of course wasn't ready in time so here we are 😂
P.S. This is the filthiest smut I've ever written...consider yourself warned😏🤣
Rating: E
Summary:  Set in the Under the Northern Lights universe (contains spoilers for the final chapters).
Inuyasha is having a rough night.
After missing Kagome for a whole week, he finally welcomes her home from a work assignment, discovering in the process that she smells even better than usual. A lot better. Strangely erotic in nature, her intoxicating scent takes over until it’s all he can think about. But thanks to a delayed flight and pre-made plans, he soon finds himself at Yugen’s New Year’s Eve party, rather than inside his wife. To make matters worse, Kagome seems hell-bent on torturing him, flaunting her body and teasing him until he can barely stand it. At least he’s prepared to give it right back to her, leaving them both anxious to get home.
Will they be able to make it till midnight?
Read Make It Till Midnight on AO3
Taglist under the cut!
(I really need to update this and probably will make a new list soon, but for now just let me know if you want on or off!): @aelianadawn-deactivated20210806 @alisanangel @anisaanisa @alysssa-inukag @bluehawaiicat @born-for-eachother  @deactivated2431545484 @fawn-eyed-girl @goshinote @gruviyasharuto @inussunflower @kawaiichan67 @kazeinori @keks-creations @ladyaerilla @littlepumkinseed @littleredwritinghat @liz8080 @malditamigs @neutronstarchild @purplemys @redflamesofpassion @redwingedangel002​ @rocioanime4 @sailorlolo @sangoslays @sunsetskys @superpixie42 @theinuyashareader @themusicalshoo @zukkosbaby

Hellooooooo friend 👋🏽
For the fan-related ask game: F, G, N, and Z? Please and thank you. 😁
(P.S. I am one of your biggest fans. You da best!! 💕)
SONIA! (As you know) I am a huge fan of yours too. So, I guess we are even! Thank you for the ask :)
F - What is the longest you've been in a fandom?
Look, I've actually never published anything for Veronica Mars but I think I've been in that fandom since I was like fourteen or something! I've never truly left in the sense that I stopped consuming the media (as I have done in other fandoms), in fact, I was watching season 1 last night, and I do read the odd fic! So, I think I'd say Veronica Mars for the past *counts on fingers* SEVENTEEN YEARS (minus the two or so years after s 4 where I had to wallow in sadness).
G - Who was your first OTP?
I think it would have to be Logan and Veronica from Veronica Mars. The first OTP i was REALLY REALLY obsessed with enough to drag me into an entirely new fandom was definitely Alex and Henry from RWRB.
N - Three things I wish I saw more of in fandom?
I don't think I need to explain this, but more diverse voices in fandom. As a writer and as a person, I think I could learn a lot from others especially when it comes to life experience, culture, religious practices etc., and it's a gift when someone in fandom is willing to share those things.
More interaction in DMs and asks in a way which allows readers to know creators AND creators to know readers! I was explaining to someone last night that my extroverted personality really manifests in wanting to know other people beyond the surface level. I get that not everyone wants to reveal everything about themselves online (which is SO valid), but I'd like to have more meaningful conversations with people and interact with more people. I love WIP Wednesday and Seven Sentence Sunday and all that, but I also love talking to other people about THEIR writing or their passions or their lives. I don't want to just talk about my writing all the time lol. This is an open invite for anyone to chat to me about LITERALLY anything. I promise I'm very friendly!
Appreciation for the people who make writers as good as they can be - sensitivity readers, beta readers, the readers who leave really lovely long comments or any kind of comment that is funny or thoughtful or kind. I love writers in fandom, but from my personal writing experience at least, it takes a fucking village, and I want those people to have their virtual flowers!!! I don't think I've nailed this yet, but I'd really like to develop that skill.
Z - Ramble about something
In light of paragraph (N)(3) above, I would like to make a personal shout out to YOU, @rmd-writes @athousandrooms and @celeritas2997 who have lived in many of my documents and put in SO MANY HOURS of work over the past (almost) 2 years. I really think my writing has transformed so much in that time. I can see such a marked difference in sentence structure, grammar, CHARACTERISATION and plot if I compare my writing from 2021 to now. It's actually very humbling to see how far I've come and I have to thank you all so much for helping me improve! Also, @dustratcentral for being such an iconic cheerleader. love your work.
(Send me an ask based on the alphabet)

You are literally living my ideal life! (I dream of getting a degree in and working in chemistry) What are the drawbacks/ highlights of your work in university?
Hello!
I'm so happy to hear you want to major in chemistry :) It's a beautiful, fascinating science and the superior one at that. Keep in mind this is my experience as a first year student (and if any older chemistry students want to chime in, please do!)
Personally, I'm very much in love with my faculty, so it's hard to be totally objective snhfks but what I really enjoy about my studies is how I get to learn all the important concepts in depth. Everything I once learnt on a simplified surface level now I get to explore with more nuance: things like calculating pH, precipitation, solubility, it's all a lot more complex than what they can (understandably) tell you in school and it's really satisfying to be able to dig into that.
Speaking of calculations, I liked math a lot back in hs and I was good enough with it, but definitely not math student level - and I feel like chemistry is perfect for me, bc I get to do math nearly everyday, but it's not the terrifying kind that physicists deal with that hard (unless you choose theoretical chemistry I guess, but that's definitely not my sort of thing).
Then you have the practicals and it's so satisfying that you get to do everything yourself! First semester we mostly worked in groups bc we were babies, but now we work by ourselves and it's so cool to see how your manual skills improve, how much more comfortable you become working in lab, how what you learnt in lectures and what you learnt in practice come together.
I've always been very curious about the natural world and now I'm studying it with people who love what they do, who are extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, who want me to learn and succeed. Also, our puns are the best 😁
Now, for the drawbacks...
Tumblr media
Back to seriousness though: I'm not sure if any of the cons I'm about to list are chemistry specific, I think being in uni is just Like That™️, but I'd say the failures hurt like crazy. Sometimes I study so hard and do my best but still get a low grade. Chemistry is a demanding major. And the thing is, everyone around is also working so hard, and it looks like you're surrounded by absolutely brilliant people (I know I am!), so your insecurities may really flare up.
Consistency and discipline are absolutely necessary - once you fall behind, it can be very difficult to catch up and I guess you can see how that gets stressful at times. Similarly, you need to be mindful about what you study - you come across a difficult topic, decide to skip it to save some precious time, and I can promise you that each one of those without a fail will come up sooner or later like the hiccups. Basics first. You need to grasp them well and not shy away from things you don't instantly understand.
Each semester is a bit different, but my second one in particular has been exhausting in terms of the number of classes I had to take. After 7h (and a million reactions...) in lab I still had to go to another class and wrestle with Excel, and the only reason I was able to come home afterwards and do Nothing™️ was because I'd spent the entire previous weekend studying.
Every major has its downsides though. I used to study something else (biotechnology if you're curious) and I hated it, so I think I'm a lot more aware of what I like and dislike now, what I can endure, and what I care about - and I've found out chemistry is something I care about deeply, something I can picture myself choosing over and over again if given the chance. That means the pros outweigh the cons for me.
I hope this answers your question and didn't bore you to death 😅

So, wanted to get some hiatus rec lists going and encourage some self promo in my friends so how about sharing your top fics no matter how big or small - give us the links to your wonderful words with the Most hits/Most kudos/Most comments/Most bookmarks/Most words/Least words.
Thanks @welcomingdisaster @emyn-arnens for the tag! As an overachiever who spent too much time in school where quantitative success is everything, I have a very fraught relationship with AO3 stats and I wish I could stab them dead (in fact I have a skin to hide them entirely, which I will cautiously disable for this), so I was not going to do this.
However. I have managed to train my brain to be ambivalent about them (and it feels so good, I recommend!!), so to celebrate, here we are.
Most hits: The Seven Trials of Fingon the Valiant (rated T, 10.4k), co-written with @melestasflight. A crack idea that we ran with, in which Fingon comes back after 10 years away with a real glow-up and all seven of Feanor's sons pursue him in their own ways. My not-co-authored fic with the most hits is a A Proposition (rated E, 5.5k), Fingon/Maedhros/Maglor smut. With affection (I did write it), you are sometimes very predictable, Silm fandom 😁💖.
Most kudos: Improving Relations (rated G, 1.1k), a bit of brotherly fluff between Caranthir and Maglor, talking about Haleth. I have no idea why this one is so popular, it took me less than 2 hours to write. I guess it just hits a sweet spot!
Most comment threads: Hearken Still Unsated (rated M, 15.5k), the one I just said "more comints?" 🥺for, haha (and I got some really thoughtful new ones 🥹). Something I've learned from the reblogs on that post is that it's often not the fics with only one or two comments that authors really crave feedback on, so I'll be changing my commenting habits!
Most bookmarks: Who Shall Release Us? (rated G, 2.3k), Maedhros is reembodied without memories and has to come to terms with the absence of Maglor. I am really happy with the thoughtful feedback this fic received.
Most words: Whose Voice Is Like the Sea (rated M, 20k, Daeron/Maglor in the third age), actually a part of the first fic I wrote and I'm very sheepish about it. My ideas about the characters (and, I think, skill) have evolved a lot since then.
Fewest words: (yes I'm being a pedant about least and fewest). Greek Vase Art. Because it's art, not writing. My two podfics also have very few written words.
If you would like to do this and haven't already, @glorf1ndel @curumeaningwitch @maintogrey-gazania @rannadylin @carlandrea... please consider this an invitation!

ruminating endlessly over my sad circumstances... 😁
i just regret the wasted time and resources at this point. so many years wasted and so much pain. wowwww... well.
im trying to learn to live in solitude. i’ll never truly be happy and fulfilled in a normal way so all i can do is improve myself. theres no horrible damning flaw i have to work through im just mentally ill lol. i have to get used to solitude. focusing on myself, handling all my issues by myself, helping and supporting myself. the only thing i can do is improve myself and my skills, my work, try to enjoy the little things that i like by myself. its over bruh. im too exhausted and mentally ill and drained to truly make new relationships... so im learning to be quiet and solitary. i have a lot to learn yet in this life...
as all people do i yearned for fulfilling relationships/happiness/etc. but it doesn’t seem possible. i put so much effort and time into my relationships. and i just get burned repeatedly. what other people do is out of my control so i try to not dwell on it... i try to not be sad or angry...
i like giving gifts, attention, support to people. i like talking to people.😁 i give people so much but no one values or cares about it. okay. i know theres millions of great people out there who i would get along with great. and i even know them. but at this point my mental and physical health deteriorated so much and i’ve been burned so many times that i dont see myself making any really close friends in the future. maybe ever.
they didnt lie having no support system is truly worse for your brain than smoking, drinking and doing drugs all at the same time. solitude is detrimental to my health but i can’t do anything about it
 the life of a shy and lonesome guy is fucking hard. i would  go so much further in life if i got along with my peers and had supportive people in my formative years. thats whats really fucking with me. its hard for me to really try and achieve my dreams when theres no one who cares and supports me. its hard to make improvements on my mental health when theres no one to support or help me. living alone is hardddd... but i have to do it...

✨Weekly Progress 2022 #54✨+Demo 2.0 coming 1/28/23!
Colored 3 BGs
Colored 2 BGs
Made first pass of comments from proofreading
New list of remaining work for Jan.
Updated the BG +affected code in Demo 1.0 (basic changes)
This is it, new year starting soon. Will it somehow have 54 weeks again 🤔
I actually normally write my weekly progresses on Sunday, then schedule them for Wednesday so it looks like I have a post for every indie dev hour haha~ But since the last day of the year lands on a Sunday, I figure I can publish now.
Tumblr media
And as alluded in the title, the release date for Demo 2.0 is set for 1/28/2023! More info on what the update entails can be found here!
I have all the art assets done, but as I made a list of all the things I have left to do, it was half a page. =v=; There's a few changes that I intend for the script since I finished writing it. Ideally, these changes shouldn't take long at all! But I wanted to be sure so I ended up extending the release date a bit.
2022 & 2023 ✨
While I'm at it, I want to talk about the past year and the next one too.
The past year really has been a whirlwind of fun 😁 I never expected SYVNH to be as popular as it has been and I'm really grateful for everyone's support so far! It has been my main focus for most of the year, but I spent some time participating in other jam projects as well! I took on a variety of roles for:
We Were Forever
Lachesis V Atropos
ALICE
Mythic Meetup
Nature's Lament
All of which can be found on my itch.io page!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was hoping to do a little more for the full year, project-wise, but the scope for SYVNH blew up pretty fast on me. But I still did find time to write for a couple unannounced projects (that hopefully I'll be able to work more on 2023)!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Upcoming for 2023, of course, my number one goal is finishing SYVNH!
Other smaller art goals include:
Illustration sets
More fanart!
Make a short animated MV
Learn to use blender and live2D
General art improvement
I both love and miss drawing fanart for all my favorite series. I hope I'll be able to get back into it in 2023. Additionally, I want to spend some time making tutorials to teach others to do some of the things I do! Lastly, I want to improve my art skill. I've spent so much time on digital art that I've been lacking in things like painting and 3D craft making. So it's time to spend more time on that.
Tumblr media
I haven't quite figured out how to split my time to complete all of that yet, but hey! That's what the new year's for, right? 😄
Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for this year and I look forward to the next one!

Hey Bestie 🖤 I'm back with another Taligaro request 😁Let's say we're really close friends with him and also having some soft moments together, cause we secretly have feelings for each other. like him resting on our lap and us playing with his hair and braiding it. I can't get over the braid 😂But someday without warning our father decides that we have to get married to someone who is rich but very cruel and violent and he comes to save us and asks for our hand? I hope that makes sense 😬 You can also add things I leave it to you 🖤 Take your time Bestie 🖤 🖤 🖤
Omg yes! I am all for this one! I hope you like it bestie 🤗💚💚💚
For years now, you had been the strongest and most skilled warrior in your fathers army. Despite you being a woman, all the other men respected you, and also understood not to mess with you. Yes, your father was the leader of the army, but that had nothing to do with it, they knew what kind of warrior you were, and knew not challenge your fighting and weapon skills. Your father wanted to join forces a few years back, and the army he wanted to band with was controlled by a General named Taligaro. But Taligaro wouldnt let just anyone join forces with his army. In order for them to prove their worth, he demanded your father picked a fighter to challenge him, and if they succeeded, they would earn a place in his ranks.
Your father chose you, and you had to be blindfolded while dueling with the General. The sword you were given was lit on fire, but that didnt make you feel any less confident. You dueled against Taligaro, and won the fight very easily, knocking him to the floor. You removed your blindfold and held your hand down to him. "So General? Are you satisfied?" You say smiling down at him, he smiles back at you, taking your hand as you help him too his feet. He cant keep his eyes off you. "You most certainly have my lady" "Oh please, you can call me a lady when I start acting like one. My name is Y/N" He smirks at you, loving your confidence, then he kisses the back of your hand and says "What a beautiful name. I am General Taligaro, but you can call me Tal"
The army's joined forces and everyone was getting along very well. Your father was working along side Taligaro and the army was making a good name for itself, plus, you and Taligaro were developing a close bond, a friendship. You would spend lots of time with him, training together, strategically planning the next move for the army, and spending some quality time together. Taligaro had soldiers, and warriors, but not really any friends. But when he met you, that all changed, and he was a much happier man since he met you. One night, the army and your father were all drinking and relaxing by the large camp they had set up, and Taligaro had set up his own large tent a decent way away from them.
You went by his tent to see how he was. "Hey Tal, how are you?" He smiles happily while you enter the tent. "I'm very well thank you Y/N. Are you hear to escape the loud and boisterous group of our drunk soldiers?" "Partly, but also I'd like to chill out with you" He looks both happy and relived, and you both have a bite to eat, a drink of wine and a general chat. You both end up sitting on his roll out bed throw. "Aparently your father is suposed to be meeting with a powerful man tomorrow, he didnt say what he does, just that he could help with our army" "Well I will be staying very far away from that. I cant stand the whole politics of this army" "You may not like it, but I'm glad that your a part of it. Ever since you joined up with us, everything has improved. And I cant remember the last time I felt this happy"
"That's very kind of you Tal, thank you. Hey uhh, your hairs looking a little untidy there, hear, let me help you with that" You reach out and start tidying a part of his hair, and you end up putting a cute braid into his hair. "There you go, that looks better" He runs his fingers over his braid, and smiles warmly at you. "That's very kind of you Y/N, I like having things around that remind me of you" You blush at his compliment, and you try to hide it away from him. "Is that because I'm the only person in the whole army that was able to defeat you? You landed right on your ass!" You both laugh together, then he looks deep into your eyes. "Partly yes.... but just having you around has changed my life, and every morning when I see you... the beautiful light of your soul shines brighter than any star"
That was the sweetest and most romantic thing anyone has ever said to you, and the fact the it was Taligaro saying this to you, was just perfect. Both of you looked deep into eachothers eyes, and the tention was growing. Without realising, you both started to lean in closer together, your eyes closed and you could just about feel his lips closing in against yours... when a soldier popped his head into the tent. "General, apologies for the interruption, but you are needed" Taligaro sighs in disappointment and gets up to go with the soldier. "I'll leave you too it Tal, I have to go" "Alright Y/N, I'll uhhh...I'll see you tomorow"
The next day was very busy, the army was moving to a castle where your father was due to talk to a man in power. You, Taligaro and the army were waiting on the horses outside the castle while your father was inside. Then a sharply dressed man walks outside to us and says "The lady Y/N and General Taligaro are to follow me please" You and him look at eachother in confusion, but you both get off your horses and follow the man inside. You walk into a large room with swords hung on the wall, and your father is sat to a large round table with a very elegantly dressed man next to him.
"So? This is your daughter? I supose we can work this out. I can change her in time" Your very confused at why this man is talking to you like this. "Father? What's going on?" "Well Y/N, this is lord Faroe, and he has agreed to give the army more soldiers, in exchange for you" Your in complete shock! Anger and confusion fill you. "What?! Why would you think of this?!" "Well my darling, this army needs to grow, and this is a smart move to improve it" "What the hell is wrong with you?! I'm your daughter?! I am not some kind of inanimate object that you can use and exchange for your own gains!" "Now darling-" "Dont you dare call me darling! How could you even think of selling your own daughter? Especially to lord Faroe?" Lord Faroe looks down to you. "I beg your pardon young lady?" "I know exactly who you are. Your the lord who will torture and harm innocent women and children for your own sick enjoyment! Your a parasite! A cruel and nasty monster, and I would rather die than marry you!"
Your full of rage and lord Faroe looks very unimpressed, but your father slams his hands on the table and stands up to address you. "You dare speak to the lord like that! This is happening with or without your concent. And besides,the only way you could possibly get out of this is if someone else was to ask for your hand in marriage. And it doesn't look like anyone will ever do that for you" You feel your stomach twist in fear, you cant belive your father is doing this to you. And before you could say anything else, Taligaro stands forward. "Well that's where your wrong sir" You turn to look at him, and your father and lord Faroe look confused. "You did not know this sir, but I have been in love with your daughter from the moment I laid eyes on her. She is the most beautiful and wonderful woman i have ever been lucky enough to meet, and i will not alow you to do this to her"
Your heart felt like it was about to burst, he felt the same way about you as you did, and he was admitting it infront of both of them. Taligaro steps towards you, took your hand in his and knelt down onto one knee. "Y/N, I would love more than anything for you to be my wife, will you marry me?" "Yes! Of course I will Tal" You shout out loud. His smile is bigger than you had ever seen, and he jumps up and kisses you, holding you close to his body. "What is this? You want to marry my daughter? You-you cant! She is to be traided!" "Y/N is not your property, I love her with all my heart, and I will do what ever it takes to protect her. Including keeping her away from you. As leader of our army, I hear by banish you, and Y/N will be taking your place at my side" He is in complete shock, and cant belive that he isnt part of the army anymore. Taligaro leads you out of the room before your father shouts out to you. "You cant do this to me Y/N, your my daughter, you cant leave me!" "Says the man who tired to sell me.....goodbye father, and good luck"

an explanation…
HI EVERYONE!! First off, I would like to apologize for being away for so long with no word as to why, and for disappearing off the face of the earth for half a year. I apologize for not posting in so long, and for not even finishing setting up my blog. I’m not going to give excuses, I will only tell you the truth.
During these last few months a lot of stressful things have happened. I lost my job, familial drama, and my depression suddenly just hit me full force and I ended up in a big bad slump. I lost all motivation I had to finish this blog and my stories, and I ended up just wasting away as much as my unfinished stories have in my drafts. But it’s okay now, and sometimes people just have bad days. For me, it was a few months. Those things happen, and anyone who struggles with mental health will understand that when those moments happen, they really hit you 😭.
Anyway, as I said before I am feeling so much better now, and things are starting to look up for me. I got a new job, and I’m finally out of that several month long slump, and I’m starting to really focus on me and my health and happiness. I’ve really improved on my writing skills, and my inspiration and love for writing has just hit me full force. I feel ready and eager to really finish and update my blog, and really get things started again. I’m not sure how long this joyous feeling will last, but I’m going to make the most of it while it’s there.
Im not saying to expect anything tomorrow, or maybe even two days from now, but within these next few weeks I will finally finish updating my links and creating my pages. I will have a fully functional blog, and probably some stories out as well 😁 Like I said before, I have so many ideas now, and my passion for creating things and writing stories has come back (thank god). I may have to delete everything and start brand new, as I’ve noticed a few problems with my links and posts that were due to my lack of activity. Of course that would suck, but I’ll do whatever it takes to have a successful blog that I can be proud of.
I’m grateful to have a platform, even if it is small, to share my stories and thoughts with such kind and encouraging people 💖 I’m so happy to be able to share my stories and ideas with an audience who likes them, and create things for other people to enjoy them as much as I do. I’m grateful for every single follower I have, every repost I see, every like on a post, and every sweet comment under a post I’ve made. I’m glad I make people happy with what I create, and I hope I didn’t let anyone down.
Anyway, to conclude this long apology 😅, just know I’m thankful for all of you and everyone who’s supported me in this endeavor. You all mean the world to me and inspire me so much, so I’m sorry for being so absent on here. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Again, expect greatness in the weeks to come, and thank you for being a proud member of Anitalenia Land!!!

Hey, I'm KK. Star Commander, I'm glad to see you being active here again, I missed you 😘
As for me, during the period I've been trying to focus on my studies/career and it went more or less successfully resulting in me doing some jobs and realising that I should actually focus more on my soft skills now, no matter what the job is. I've learnt to be more acceptable of myself and of others, I believe this is my main achievement, as well as learning more about gratitude and sort of freeing from this "perfectionist" mindset. The shift is happening in my 10th and 4th houses, i believe, so I guess it will actually help me on improving the spheres I lack in, and honestly now I'll be glad if it's gonna be even a slight change for the better)) 😁
Have a wonderful day, Tulips! ✨
Hello Star Cadet =D
It's so good to see you here and I'm happy that you decided to drop in an ask ;o; -- I have not been too far away. I've been on tumblr, I just... haven't been doing much posting. Not that I haven't been inspired I just ... I don't know, it just feels like my talents are ... being pursued elsewhere. I've been doing a lot of research and such so, still here. just observing haha.
I'm proud of you c=
It's funny that you say all this because your themes are just that. for this nodal shift, I want to REALLY emphasize the importance of taking your time. Patience is going to be a really big thing for you because I see you struggling to understand where you are going in life. everything will be revealed to you within the next year -18 months- but you need need NEED to be gentle on yourself because you are going to feel so lost sometimes. the funny thing is, you won't have to make a choice but you'll feel like "it's either this or that". you'll learn that so long as you are willing to just wait, and allow things to come to you, you can have your abundance.
You might feel a little stuck in the beginning here. but I don't see that lasting too long. I do think you're going to be meeting people who are going to help you really grow ;o; it's a very sweet year for you but you need to put more love into yourself and be gentle with yourself this year.

Hi.
I've been wanting to write here pero lagi akong tinatamad. Awit. But today, I've found a deep reason to write here.
Here's an update with my life.
Officially, 4th year na ako and I've felt this wanted feeling of fulfillment sa mga accomplishment ko this semester.
I'm the treasurer of the class, sa rami ng bayarin sa school ang dami ko ring hawak na pera (na hindi sa akin haha). But I'm glad that my classmates abide with these expenses kahit na masakit sa bulsa (kasi naman, linggo-linggo may bayarin). Ito talaga yung isa sa mga kakambal ng F2F, maraming lilitaw na babayarin at pagpoproblemahin ka kung saan kukuha ng pambayad. Gladly, hindi sumakit ang ulo ko sa pagsingil.
I'm also the class representative para sa Field Study namin. Isa pa 'to kasi naman sa akin din bumabagsak yung babayarin para sa field study. Yung uniform pa lang masyado nang maraming gastos. But goods lang namin sa akin ang pag relay ng information saka pagbibigay ng needed documents. Sobrang saya rin kapag nakakausap yung mga teachers tapos they'll give you advice para sa practice teaching through their experience. That is one of the perks of having responsibilities kasi nagkakaroon ka ng connection na pwedeng makatulong sa'yo in the future. You'll appreciate your teachers lalo na kung mababait sila.
Third, mas lalo kong naappreciate yung assistance ng mga kaklase ko. I've posted it on IG recently and tagged them pa pero dahil isa akong mahiyain, nahiya ako na pinost ko yon huhu. Kaya napagdesisyunan ko na lang na magpost but ako lang din ang nakakaalam haha. Mababait pala classmates ko?😁
Lastly, I've been challenged in the student publication. Akalain mo 'yon, I'm part of Flambeau ng Educ Dept. tapos yung isa pang major and official student publication. Narealize kong sayang yung mga oras na ginugol ko sa mga walang kwenta bagay na dapat ay pinapractice ko ang pagsusulat at pagbabasa para sana lumawak yung vocabulary ko. Sobrang gagaling kasi ng mga writers ng main student pub tapos ako na two years na ron parang baguhan.
I've faced leaders na hindi ko aligned ang profession and nahihirapan din ako makipag-communicate sa kanila. Sobrang ramdam ko kasi yung intimidating and powerful aura nila haha natatameme ang person. Nasanay rin siguro ako na ako yung leader and one of the initiator tapos hindi ako sanay maging follower only to learn that I've need a lot of things to improve. Kinakalawang na yung braincells at writing skills ko kasi hindi ko naman madalas i-practice. But at the same time, nakaka-amaze yung writings ng mga writers. Parang hinasa at hinubog ng panahon or am I just really interacting with the best of the best journalists in the province. Yung mga nakarating na sa regional or national school press conference compared to me na di naman nakakalusot sa division wahahaha.
Grabe yung energy ng mga tao sa main pub, ang intimidating. Para akong nasa isang anime where side character lang ako tas mga powerful main characters yung kasama ko haha. Then after some time, lalakas din ako with intense training and dedication to improve hahaha.
Anyway, what I'm saying here is that if you have spare time, use it to improve yourself. Read, write, draw, edit, etc. Anything that you find yourself interested with, I'm telling you, makakatulong yan in the future lalo na kung napapractice siya.
Marami opportunities na either lalapit sa'yo or you will accidentally find kaya dapat may asset ka. Be the best version of yourself.

Whisper q: Have you thought of creating a story? how long have you been into art? is there any other type of creativity you would like to know about or use? What got you into art? How do you deal with art block? Are you plan on creating a webcomic? How dose it feel when you look back at your old art? Compair your old art vs today, what did you improve on for example( lighting, shading, details etc.) Do you collab with other artist?
And finally, How many sketch books do you have?
Star: wow, this is a lot! So yeah, I've been working on a few stories. I've been writing most of my life so making stories is absolutely going to be a step down the line! I've been doing art my whole life. I was always the kid that would pick up skills quickly so drawing and painting were always super fun for me. I want any art skills I can get my hands on! If it exists I want to learn it! I got into art because I find nature so beautiful. Trying to capture that beauty and share it with others. For artblock I usually move on to another project or work on shapes and colors. Sometimes artblock is your body saying I can not learn anything new right now. So I will practice some basic skills like shapes. I personally LOVE looking back at old art at least what little remains of it. I like to see how far I've come and the things I'm learning.
In comparison from where I have restarted to now my art has improved significantly! Specifically my line work, which is what needed the most practice tbh.
I would be super happy to collaborate with other artists! I might not always have time but feel free to reach out and ask I will always do my best to help out! I have a Grand total of
One. For now at least. I kind of have a TRAGIC backstory where all my art got lost or destroyed by my mother who does not appreciate art and basically forbid me from being an artist. So I've had to restart recently after about 9-10 years of letting it go. I'm really glad to be back to doing art 😁
Those were huge! Thank you!
Feel free to leave more questions at

Practicing drawing has really paid off, and I leveled up my skill by 50.🤣 What a way to end off the year! I started drawing again in March after a 10 year hiatus. I can say I am incredibly happy with this!
----
Kagome:
"I love you as a half demon, InuYasha!"
----
I wanted to portray InuYasha more in control, hugging Kagome. Inspiration came from the 2nd movie. Reference was used for the forearm position and Kagome's head placement. Kagome's hair may have taken my the longest, and InuYasha's I was just indecisive. There was a long strand on the top of his head, but I removed it.
The inspiration didn't come to mind until after I began rough sketching, it reminded me of them in the second movie.
After this cel shading take, I am contemplating the black and white manga approach, lol. Maybe to just expand my poses and get more work completed quicker.
What do you think, have I improved? 😁

Hello frens! I’ve finally finished TAFE for the year, and you know what that means? I’m on my summer break until February next year! so I finally have time for tumblr and sims again! 💃🥳🍹✨ I’ve missed so many peoples here and I’m so glad to finally be back~ 🥰 I’ve missed a LOT so I might not be able to catch up on everything, but I’ll be back in your notes soon! 😁💗
Working on Winter Echo made it difficult for me to keep up with TAFE as well as I wanted to in first semester this year, so after I finished the story I decided to take a break from both tumblr and sims and throw myself entirely into my studies. I had some great results from this and learned a ton, and I’m excited to use my new skills to make stuff for sims! xD
Under the cut ~ my major project works for this semester 😊
Rendering & Lighting
Tumblr media
For this final assessment, we had to light and texture a fruit bowl matching a photo reference we were given. I find lighting relaxing but it takes a very long time to get right (especially trying to match a reference). I’m pretty happy with how these textures turned out, they also took a really really long time to perfect. The apple and bananas were textured in Substance Painter and the grapes, orange and basket were procedurally textured in Maya. I think those grapes took me two full days to get right 😅 (the pear and table aren’t textured, we weren’t actually supposed to texture this many fruits, which I found out far too late lol)
Animation
youtube
Our last animation assessment for the year was to animate a character jumping. A lot harder than it appears 😅 I also modelled, textured and lit this scene for it and I think it might be my favourite thing I’ve modelled/textured so far 😄 I’m very excited with how much my skills with 3D animation have improved over this semester! definitely an elective I’ll be taking for 3rd year 😊
Compositing
youtube
So I really think compositing is super fun, as you might have guessed by the amount of compositing I do for my sims shots xD For our final assessment for this class, we were given an animated spaceship (modelled and textured in Maya by our teacher) and had to composite it into an animated background scene of our choice using Nuke. Nuke is a very complex program, kinda like uber-Photoshop 😅 This very short shot took a ridiculous amount of time to create and I’m still not 100% happy with it but at some point you just gotta submit the thing, lol 😆
Production Studio
youtube
My major major project of this semester 😆 This was a group project that challenged us to use all our skills from our other classes. The brief was to model cars of the future, based on cars from the 50s, and they had to light up, talk, and fly 👀😬 I did have a lot of fun with this over the semester and I’m really happy with the final result, although there was quite a lot of drama with one member of our group who caused us a lot of troubles. 😅 The final renders for the film took such a long time that we had to get a full on render farm going over a weekend with multiple people rendering out different shots, and even then we had to render at fairly low quality to get it done. Very eye opening for the amount of time it must take to render out a full 3D animated film 👀
Thanks for taking a look at my work if you’ve gotten this far! 💗 I’m super excited to use all these new skills to create some cool stuff over my break for sims! Starting with a proper airport set... I got big plans 😁
