Okay so I've just GOTTA know... how the hell do you write the way you do?? I haven't been able to get sucked into any written work since high school, trauma brain and all. I used to live in books so it's been hell, but your writing got me back into reading, and makes it so I can get lost into that little world again, which I've craved but been able to have for like... so long. Writing is something I've always been into, but I let my fear of failure and need for perfection stop me. Just... do you have any advice for beginners?? It would mean the world to me, but I understand if it's an annoying ask! Thanks for reading no matter what!

Well I am just a mess reading this (in the best way possible).

First of all, thank you so much omfg. And of COURSE it isn't annoying! This is so flattering I'm about to cry my dude.

As far as tips on writing, I feel like I am not the person to ask because I'm just this little weirdo on the internet who likes turtles lol. But!! In an attempt to try and give real advice here is my response... and it got a little wordy so it's all under the break lmaoooo.

~Gin's rambling attempt to give writing advice~

Practice! Literally the only reason I can string coherent words together is because I've been doing this as a hobby for like two whole decades.

Also!! Read! Consuming other fics and books really helps. Sometimes you find a way of saying something that sticks with you. Sometimes you sit and think "I would have done it this way/said it this way." Sometimes you come out on the other end and go "Wow I am a hack that was amazing." Sometimes you finish something and go "Wow that was fucking terrible I'm amazing." Sometimes you read something and it fires off your brain, and you are left itching to write your own story. But however you feel, it's all GOOD FOR WRITING. It helps you grow! It literally helps you find your voice!

Other little things; When I write, I truly immerse myself. I am playing out in cinema format what is happening in the "scene." How is this person reacting? How do they look- down to facial expressions. How are they feeling? Is this something they would say? (would they fucking say that??? is something I think to myself every time I open a doc) And when I write it all down, I try my very best to convey that "scene" that played out in my head. I try to capture that character's voice, their mannerisms, their habits.

Does this even make sense? I sure hope so.

Also, flow. Make sure we're moving right along. Keep track of where hands, legs, and torsos are. If they were sitting when the scene started, and you need them standing to kiss or fight or do a thumb war, at some point you need to make sure you say they stood up. If a hand was on a cheek, it can't suddenly be on an ankle without telling the reader what happened.

I also just think adding little details helps with immersion. When we talk to people, we don't just stand around. We fidget. We pick our nails or scratch our arms or shuffle our feet. All those little details can add to that immersion (or I think so, I'm no expert). "He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck before saying..." - Wow, what an awkward little shit. "They scrunched their nose and gave a near-violent eye-roll" - Oh ok they are annoyed! "She shifted her feet and replied"- cool she's being a person, I shift my feet too, neato.

Anyway, nothing I wrote 20 years ago is as good as it is now. I'm highly convinced that I'll think the same thing in another 10 years, about anything I've published recently. But it is getting better, and it's because I keep at it. Having friends in the fandom and beta readers really helps. Make sure you find someone who you know will be positive but honest. And remember, YOU are always going to be your own worst critic.

God why did anyone ever let me have access to a computer. Why the FUCK is this so long? Does it even make sense? Jfc, I'm going to post it and eat a fucking cookie.

I believe in you anon. Also, I love you and thank you so much for making my whole week. I'm going to be so obnoxious about this shit, everyone expect to hear from my ass an annoying amount (kidding, but seriously I'm so fucking flattered thank you so much. This kind of shit makes me wonder what the fuck you're all reading because I swear I am just a silly gal with seasonal depression who needs a haircut).

((Also, anon, I wish you nothing but the best. Take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, and know that I am sending you like a million hugs))

#anon ask #oh also!#write what you want #like- don't write what you think the fandom wants #write what YOU want to see #What YOU like #You're never going to please everyone #So just please yourself #wait that sounds bad #fuck it #sure please yourself whatever I said what I said

and then took another long rest and got astarion’s confession scene and ive just been laughing

like. cordelia hovering over you blood vibrating with the sole intent of murdering you is what did it huh. tying her up and watching as she likely fought against her restraints, spitting everywhere and yelling vile things and astarion’s really like: yeah. shes the one

#bg3 spoilers #astarion #skdkfkdjskskfjdksksk #the event was just funny to me #oh also!#i didnt know he would confess before i settled his raphael deal quest #like i thought i HAD to get rhe info abt his scars first before it progressed #but i guess not?#bg3: cordelia #frankie posts

Since I’m me and I have no chill I’ve started a Big animation for the remnant AU! Plus I just hit 20k followers on my tiktok so I figured that warranted a big animation in celebration! I’ll be posting frames from it here as I go, and this is the first one that’s done!

Plus technically I guess it’s a bit of a sneak peak at Himiko, Ryoma, and Kiibo, who are the only three left that I haven’t gotten asks for yet!

Hope y’all like it lol!

I want to be able to make animations so badly ;-; (Specifically animatics)

But I don't think my art style would good for animations, and I have no clue how to do it. :')

#Don't mind me #Just rambling into the void #A song I like come on while I was drawing #And I feel like it would work perfectly for a animation of one of my OCs #Oh also!#I'm almost done with the Goober FanArt :3 #Just Chatting #Trans Chaos

hi everyone!!

sorry this is gonna be a VERY long post so if you’re not interested just scroll dw i’ll put everything under read more lol but i got this anon ask today and i wanted to address some of the points the anon was making in it.

this anon brought some things up i'd like to address bcs this does actually matter to me the things they’ve said and i want to try and clear any misconceptions up.

i know i don't really interact w much of my mutuals (again, that's on me) but i really don't mean to make myself seem self centered or like in a clique of some sorts (i feel like that's smth that's been going around lately?) and i really only talk to a few people online, which is who i interact with the most! if you see me interacting with the same few people on here, it’s most likely bcs i am close to them and talk to them outside of tumblr, i find it hard to talk to others bcs i’m just generally shy and when i first joined tumblr in the summer it seemed everyone already had an established friendgroup so i didn't feel like i fit in anywhere. for checking up on people, i do try but i'm not the best at comforting people, but i do see your point in that and i will try to reach out more to people when i see them struggling. i don't mean to just watch my mutuals go through hardships without saying anything but i worry that what i say will not sound genuine. this isn’t an excuse for me, ofc this is just my explanation

the constant attractions of jjk writers is really just a joke 😭😭 like i swear, i have never actually been serious or angry abt how many jjk mutuals i have LOL i just think its a funny pattern considering i don't really write for the fandom ykwim (i do see your point, but it's all just jokes) though i have some strifes w the jjk fandom which might be how this joke kind of got misconstrued? jjk fandom is just unfavourable imo but i don't actually hate any of my jjk mutuals!!

i'm a very impulsive and emotionally driven person so i do ++ i say things without thought bcs i'm just so in the moment i can't think 😭 and it leads me to wanting to deactivate like atleast every other week Imao. it's smth i've tried to hold back by just shutting up before i say smth i'll regret but also bcs i know that i'll probably be fine the next day and that i'm just being dramatic but yeah i have seen that i am guilty of it! i do acknowledge that of me and want to change.

if you're talking about the "not acknowledging others in conversation" specifically about servers since you mentioned we've been in a few, i also do see your point! normally i'm very shy in servers so i tend to just stick to writing channels where i dump all my wips, and i apologize that i haven't acknowledged the people who were in the channel before me! it's usually just one dump and then i exit out of discord, and also in just normal conversations like in general chat or etc sometimes i forget to reply to some people i’m talking to or i'm just more confortable talking to certain people in a server and i do apologize if i've ever done this to you. i don't mean to purposely ignore or make you think of me as self centered bcs of this.

think that was mostly everything i wanted to address, i really don't interact w my followers on here as much as i should / want to just bcs i'm usually on discord, inactive bcs of uni or i'm just so so late replying to asks 😭 i'm sorry to not only this anon but also any of my mutuals or followers if i've ever made you have a bad experience with me, i do apologize and it's not my intent to come across as self centered or unapproachable!

since you said this is a quality that some people are noticing, it does worry me that this behaviour of mine is to the point of where multiple people see me in this light and i do want to change that which is kind of why i’ve calmed down on this account and just queued up posts

this anon ask came from a different blog of mine (a blog i haven't announced yet cuz i was just semi-quietly posting there, it’s not a huge secret that it was me but i didn’t want yall to think i was moving or deactivating again 😭) but i wanted to post it here as well just to clear anything up!

i probably won't be on this acc for some time (no i'm not deactivating lol i just priv my works for now while i'm frolicking elsewhere while uni kicks my ass) and i won't delete this post or anything, bcs i don't want to hide from this. i do see your points anon and realize my own faults and i'm glad this was brought up, and i am in no way a victim so please don't treat me like one just bcs this anon brought these up LOL

anyways sorry for all of that! that was super long but i wanted to touch on all the points they had and if you have anymore questions i'll try and answer as best as i can but i’m also not gonna be on this account too much atm again so if i’m late to replying (like usual) i’m sorry </3 i do try to log in here once a day tho to check notifs so anything sent in i’ll probably see when i have time!

sorry for any typos in this too i’m writing this all at like 1 am😭😭😭

#( 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄 )#i hope i’ve cleared some things and again i do acknowledge i am not entirely innocent in this #i will definitely take what you’ve said into account when it comed to my behaviour!#oh also!#if anyone wants my other acc btw you can ask for it ^_^ i was going to announce it at some point but i wanted to set it all up first LOL #and also it was a tokyo rev centered acc and i hadn’t posted any tr content on here so i wasnt sure if anyone would be interested 😭#am i suppoded to tag this as discourse??? idek anymore

Talking to you is fun, and I just overall think your a very sweet person I'd love to get to know better!

#I'm apologizing again for the fact it took me a while to reply #I saw the ask this morning but I didn't have time to reply #And then I forgot by the time lunch came around and I had time #But I remembered now!#Your are sweet and amazing and everything I see your art It's like cute aggression #It's so cute I want to squish it #Heheheh:3 #Oh also!#Since I'm thinking about it #I mentioned a bit ago I'd draw ieyasu in a bunny boy suit #Which I have drawn it #But I was thinking that it'd probably make more sense to post the bunny boy stuff for the characters birthdays specifically #So it'll be a while before I post it-#Anyway!#I hope you have a lovely evening im going to go eat supper :P

Would you be open to selling prints of your work?

I’ve actually been looking into it for a while! I’m gonna be honest, might even try and open up a shop sometime this or next week if anyone is interested 👀

so yeah, probably really soon! keep an eye out, I’ll keep y’all updated :]

(I’ve been kinda stuck on deciding if I want to go with a print-on-demand service like inprint or something of the sort, or go for the print everything myself route. for now though print-on-demand is the option I’m probably going to go with!)

#planning on applying to some cons later this year so being able to print everything myself would be nice #but at the same time there’s the cost of a wholeass printer #andddd the unfortunate lack of space for this in my dorm 💀#I will be looking more into in when the next semester starts! but for now POD is the better option #oh also!#to people that have used print-on-demand sites for buying or selling prints: which ones would you reccomend?#I do have a list of ones i’ve looked into but as always getting a second opinion from someone experienced is way better #or if anyone experienced with making prints has any recommendations for printers that won’t break my bank i am begging you to share 🙏#mango rambles #might as well make that a tag

When it comes to the Tails Polycule what would other characters think of them?

Hmmm...good question!

In general, I think others would feel a bit weird about it (but largely they'd get acceptance from friends) for the most part

But under the cut I'll put some prime characters down and how they'd react to the relationship

ㅤ

Sonic:

I think learning about them throws Sonic off at first, just cause he doesn't expect it. While he'd feel a bit weird about it at first, I think he'd grow used to it pretty quickly (especially in a situation where they're already dating and clearly hanging out more/being more intimate in front of him and he doesn’t learn for a while).

All in all, he loves Prime!Tails, Nine, and the variants, and this kind of just fits in as an extension of his goal to be able to travel and adventure and have fun with his best buds, so I he'd be the last to complain about Tails getting along with Nine and the other variants. Honestly, whenever the polycule hang out as a full group I think Sonic is most likely out of the other characters to tag along.

ㅤ

Shadow:

He acts like he doesn't care or is indifferent to it. Deep down he doesn't really know how he feels about it and tries not to dwell on it. No matter what he probably feels a bit odd about it deep down.

ㅤ

Amy:

Completely depends on the context.

Like if Amy finds out alone or gets to have the first word about it, I can see her a bit thrown off or initially weirded out. If someone else makes an exclamation that even implies the polycule's situation is weird, though, I can see her sticking up for Tails' polycule by waxing poetry about how beautiful and precious love is and how it's none of their business even if it is a bit...unorthodox.

All in all, she’d be a bit weirded out, but she'd support them in the end I think. Kind of in a "Well, I'd never do that but you know live and let love" way

However, in a hypothetical situation where she meets the other Amy variants and ends up having something going on with him, I can see her start to understand Tails.

ㅤ

Knuckles:

Probably raises an eyebrow at it and finds it a bit odd, but he's got the same attitude about it as that one anime clip where the guy is like "Woah! That dude has horns! Well, not gonna ruin my day".

He doesn’t really get it, but Tails can do what he wants so he doesn’t care

ㅤ

Rouge:

I'm sure she's got some thoughts at first (probably finds it odd at first also), but in the end she doesn't really care and learns to get used to it. She probably started covering up for being weirded out and tried to be supportive by teasing them about their relationship. Like Knuckles and Amy she kind of adopts the "Tails can do whatever he wants. Not gonna ruin my day" approach

ㅤ

Omega:

He could care less.

However, I could see him getting into a situation like...idk...fighting some Chaos Council eggforcers with Nine (with Nine using other weapons he developed for combat, which would include some explosives) and being like "Tiny animal based lifeform [Tails]. Do not let this one get away." or something 😂

ㅤ

Big:

Eh largely indifferent. If someone told him about the polycule he'd be like "Huh. That's cool I guess." If the polycule wants to go fishing, who is he to refuse? But on their relationship itself, it doesn't bother him.

ㅤ

Eggman:

He would be the most vocal about how weird it is I think. But if they become enough of a menace to him and his plans he'll probably be too focused on how annoying they are to think quite as much about how strange or weird he finds that relationship.

It's also Eggman though so I think he's liable to change his tune from "this is so odd/weird/gross to me" to being able to make fun of them or tease them or use their relationship for his own gain in some way

ㅤ

Black Rose, Thorn Rose, Rusty Rose:

While I think they may take some issue with some of the individual relationships here, all in all (especially after they decide to trust Nine) they very much support them. They get it, after all.

ㅤ

Rebel Rouge:

It weirds her out, and it especially surprises her that Nine managed to land them all. She largely tries to ignore it and focus on business at hand.

ㅤ

Renegade Knucks:

Weirds him out. I can see him being vocal on how surprising it is Nine landed them all, and vocal (within Nine's earshot) about how weird it is.

However, I mean it with my full chest when I say that Renegade could make out with Dread, turn to Nine, and then tell Nine about how weird the Tails polycule relationship is. Even if it's just to make Nine annoyed or to make his dislike of him known. In a case like that, though, I think he'd start out being kind of weirded out and shift to being indifferent but still vocal about how he can't understand why the others would pick Nine (the case being that he starts to uh catch some feelings for some variants himself).

ㅤ

Dr. Babble:

Honestly, can't decide whether the baby even cares at all. I feel like he'd get more fun out of playing whackamole with them then worrying about their relationship in any capacity.

ㅤ

Dr. Don't:

Vocal about how weird it is, but mostly because I think he would just dislike the idea of others in a relationship or being obviously in a relationship in front of his salad. Fictional stuff or fantasizing about being in a relationship/pinjng is one thing (specifically something he can choose to engage in on his own terms), but being subjected to someone else's relationship is another. He tries not to dwell on the polycule's existence.

ㅤ

Dr. Deep:

I think he'd be vocal about how weird and "obviously gross" it is, but like...noncommittaly?

I don't think he actually cares at all whether any mobians are in a relationship, nor does he really care to hear about it. Rather, I think his outward reaction is simply out of a sense of saying/acting how he should act after learning this information rather than saying what he actually believes. If it came down to it, he'd use their relationship for his own gain if it was possible to.

ㅤ

Mr. Dr. Eggman:

So he does find it a bit odd and largely tries not to dwell on it, but how he acts outwardly (super weirded out, supportive, whatever) completely depends upon the context of the situation and what he's trying to do or make someone think. If you asked him how he felt about them being in a polycule, I think one of his answers would be that he finds all mobian relationships weird/gross anyways.

ㅤ

Dr. Done It

He simply does not want to know about this, and I think he'd largely try to ignore it

However, I think depending on the situation at hand (like if he was planning on manipulating someone to do something or feel some sort of way), or even depending on his mood at that moment he could be vocally weirded out or supportive or whatever.

ㅤ

Prim:

It definitely throws her off/surprises her when she learns of it, although I think she'd be fairly supportive (especially once she trusts that Nine and the others really do care about Mangey). I think over time she'd kind of get used to it and it wouldn't really bother her.

ㅤ

Hangry:

It could confuse him at first but he ultimately does not care. I think even if he did feel weird about the relationship or oppose it in any way, he'd change his tune if Sails, Tails, or Nine (or a combination/all three) made a delicious meal for the Boscage gang that he liked.

Kinda like the situation with Omega, I think it's funny to imagine Hangry shaking Mangey by the shoulders telling him to never let go of someone who gives you free food😂

ㅤ

Gnarly:

At worst, he does not care and gets distracted by some conspiracy or another he ends up going on about

At best, he reacts supportively but by stressing how Mangey should always be on guard

Although, I also think it's funny to imagine him thinking about the relationship on occasion until he ends up dreaming of kissing Knuckles variants under the moonlight.

ㅤ

Batten Rouge:

I think she'll be surprised at first, not expecting it, but eh if Captain Rose and Rusty Rose can be like that and support it, who is she to judge? If she finds it weird, she doesn't really dwell on it. All in all, I'd say she'd (at worst) want to trust Nine, but I think she'd trust Sails can take care of himself regardless of how she feels towards Tails and the other variants

ㅤ

Knuckles the Dread:

I think by post canon Sonic Prime the polycule would not weird him out. I don't think he'd really care too much all in all, but he'd express support in Sails' relationship.

ㅤ

Okay, and now for the bonus round!!

ㅤ

Chaos Sonic (Specifically in an au where Nine revives him)

He could care less about the selfcest angle or whatever. Nah. He is so jealous. I think especially at first he'd act like he has to make sure the other variants are good enough for his "best friend". Although I'd think he'd warm up to the other variants over time and at least form an amicable relationship with each of them, even when he's on good terms with them Nine has to order the robot to leave the room if he doesn't want to the robot present when he's hanging out with Tails and/or the other variants (during normal or more...intimate moments)

ㅤ

Alpha Grim Sonic (specifically from my musings of an au where Nine rebuilds him post canon)

Again, the robot could care less about the selfcest angle or whatever. I think he'd be fine with Tails and the variants once he's sure they're not a threat and that Nine doesn't hold ill will towards them. I think that he'd comply to commands to leave Nine and his boyfriends be with less reluctance than Chaos Sonic (or at least, less visual reluctance. Even if he wouldn't want to leave the room, he'd leave pretty much immediately when asked), but I think he'd also be jealous of the relationship Nine has with his polycule without realizing that the feeling he is feeling is jealousy. I think, deep down, he'd want to be like that with Nine, even if he is fairly close to him already with his position.

Essentially, it's...complicated. But what he cares about most of all is Nine's well-being and that his wishes are fulfilled.

ㅤ

Thank you so much for the ask, anon! I actually wasn't originally planning to put so many characters under the cut, but of course I got a bit invested. I definitely enjoyed writing this😊
