Everyday I get a little better! Yippeee!#I never imagined I would have the kind of support I currently do as I've been making these comics #Hard to imagine I thought art was something I wouldn't have a shot at. Much less have the opportunity to have a community behind me #I want to keep growing and improving! I appreciate every single comment and tag and encouraging message!#I have a *fanart* folder. The me from a year ago could have never thought that could be a thing #Just...wow....thank you all so much for everything. I mean it more than I can put into words B'*)

hey it's nanowrimo. i have tips bc i've done it about 34 times.

Don't edit. Ever. Stop it. If you just decide to start a new project half thru this one with all new characters, no problem. pick up and keep writing as if you'd already written the first half of that.

"but i spelled it wrong" whatever. "but the grammar" whatever. make it exist first. no time for sense. think like you're working on a typewriter. no backspace. only forward go.

Don't re-read further than a paragraph or two backwards. "did i mention the gun before?" listen - it doesn't matter. if you need there to be a gun there, the gun is there. put it back in once you finish the book.

"i forgot the specifics of X thing i already wrote" whatever. change it, make a note/comment to figure it out later, and just write what makes sense for the moment. "no raquel it's legit the characters name and origin" idc that character is now reborn as Claudius from Elsewhere. it's fine.

only you see your mistakes. nobody else knows. one of the ways writing and dance overlap - only you know the choreography. nobody else will know if you miss a step, so just keep dancing and pretend you meant to do it like that.

it's an illusion that you need to write linearly - from point A to point B to point C. Nah; that's just timeline propaganda. I've written a LOT of books out of order and just reordered them once i've finished. if you have a scene you'd LOVE to write but can't get there yet because of plot, just fuckin write the scene. I've always found its easier to establish "point F" "point J" and "Point A" and then wiggle my way between those scenes.

write what you WANT to write. 230 pages of smut? of well-researched discussion on bread? whatever. the point is to strengthen muscles however you can.

if you miss a day, a week, whatever. not the end of the world. we all have dry days. also time is a myth so u can do this challenge whenever u want.

as soon as you try to write for a specific audience, you kill your voice. you are writing for yourself. stop thinking about how people will take ur book. it don't matter. what matter is u, enjoying writing. i luv u.

play to your strengths. i have characters talk so much because i don't know how to write a plot if it kills me but i'm really good at dialogue so.

i love a flight of fancy. write a poem in there. shift tactics and write in code. keep it fun for yourself.

see what happens if you shift something major about ur main characters - gender, wealth, superpowers. or if you change point-of-view. or if you kill everyone in a big explosion. do NOT edit anything before this or after it. often these little weird one-off exercises teach me what interests me about what i'm working on. it is never what i thought. plus it is a fun way to add like 1k words.

stretch.

it's for fun and for practice. stop doing that project if it's giving you anxiety. once my nano was literally 50k words of half-started stories. just things i tried and tried and tried and wasn't able to flesh out. oops. but i am now 50k words of a better writer.

add dragons?

read books/listen to books on tape/etc. people often make the mistake of "buckling down" to just write. you need inspiration. you need to like. fill up on words. you need to remember how it feels to lose yourself in a story.

i don't have the time or space to really talk about this in this post but a lot of creative people turn to drugs/alcohol because it can help you be more creative. this is harmful, and walking a blade that only cuts deep. if you notice you and your loved ones are turning more to substances, please know i love you and i hope you are able to get help soon. i feel like this almost never gets mentioned because it's kind of a hazy underbelly to art. you are always more important than the work.

on that note. drink your fukin. water.

don't talk about a story until you've finished it. once you tell the story, it exists already, and isn't about discovery. i usually have a very canned "haha we'll see" response.

grapes :) tasty snack.

i love you be free.

#edit: the command not to talk about it is from personal experience!#i have heard Otherwise in the tags so i will edit to say:#if you've noticed that you tend to like Talk A Lot about ur piece but never WRITE it -#consider voice-to-text #also #u might be like me and ... need to figure it out on the PAGE and not OUT LOUD #i am often an auditory processor so i wont tell people specifics but i'll be like #huh. so i have a character who is in love .... and they don't know it #and my friend will be like ''oh they should kiss' and meanwhile #somehow #saying it out loud im like #yeah thank u ur right the dress SHOULD be purple that's what the problem has been <3 #idk!!! it's up to you!!! my suggestion is to say LESS until you know for a FACT that saying MORE works better for you #-- always better to slowly unspool in ur exploration of that #than to accidentally talk too much and get Bored Of Project #idk idk idk #i have adhd so every book surprises me bc im like #wait where did any of this even COME FROM #and whatever little gremlin in my brain that writes is like :)#''heyyy girlie.......''#WHICH IS A LONG WAY TO SAY:#i didn't know about Not Talking About It as an option until i'd ruined a few projects!!#but there are people who need to do the other thing!!! and i love us both!!!!#wow brains are so funny!!!!

Releases pikmin creatures into your home

What will you do?

probably have sex with them i guess

oh fucm *slides my hair back and sprays perfume into my mouth* agh agh cough fuck wrong thing *sprays that other shit into my mouth then pops my shirts collar* what's up lil mamma. how about we find a quiet place to sit and make the whole place wet... EUGH!!! what's all this then!!

anon. anon. what do i do if she's a milf

#ask #anon #anonymous im so sorry. im sorry.#to actually answer your question though. depends on what creature #and ik theres like. a lot of creatures.#i think id like to have a bunch of bulbmin. or bulborbs. they remind me a lot of opossums. mostly in their mouth shape and fangs.#but generally i think id either release them outside or just watch them for a bit for the most part. in terms of most pikmin creatures.#breadbugs would be funny to watch but i imagine they'd probably be pest-like if not taken care of or kept in an enclosure #theyd be constantly trying to take random shit back to their holes or piles of dirt or whatever #like listen i never lose my keys since i keep them in the same place. and also theyre on a bright red lanyard.#but a breadbug would steal those keys and i would be in distress #for pikmin themselves. same deal i think. id prefer to see them outside than inside my house #i think bulborbs/bulbmin would be the highest on my list of creatures to take care of maybe #otherwise LEEEAVE my motherfucking home NOOOWWWW!!!!#except less like dr breen #anyway. anon. sorry about the initial reply. i hope my tags sufficed #i like to say dumb shit i cant help it. favourite activity.#anyway thank you for the ask anon :)

I just finished watching Philza’s vod about the syndicate’s finale, and I really liked it! I really appreciated Philza and Niki giving their characters a good ending, how they went out of their way to mentioned that Ranboo and Micheal were also safe. Hell, we even got an appearance of ghost!Connor, which I thought was really funny and very on brand. I think it is safe to say, that this ending is by far my favorite out of all the one’s I’ve seen from the Dream smp.

However, I’m now going to talk about the hard part.

Right at the beginning of Philza’s stream it hit me that this was the first, and now only, syndicate stream I’ve watched that wasn’t from Technoblade’s perspective. And that hit me hard. I had to pause the stream to collect myself enough so I could finish watching, but I can assure you, I had tears in my eyes through most of it. I loved when Phil walked around and fed the dogs, I loved seeing Steve, seeing Techno’s base again, and I laughed so hard when Niki and Phil rang the bell. I know it must have meant a lot to them, as well as all of us.

And at the end, as Philza looked around the syndicate room one last time before he jumped into the end portal, it made me start thinking about Techno, and how much he loved this server and the stories within it. How he wouldn’t shy from cracking jokes even in the midst of it all, how he would go out of his way to make sure people were included, how he was working towards creating more stories.

I don’t know how much of this is actually canon, but I do remember seeing somewhere that Techno’s character went on a journey as a way to explain his absence within lore. Whether it was to train, to find something, to explore, I honestly can’t fully remember. However, I would like to think that, within this journey of his, he made some discoveries. He found yet another stronghold, and maybe this one had more information about what lies within its walls. Maybe he found a book within the long abandoned library that talks about some kind of portal to an end. Maybe he took this book with him since it peaked his interest. Than maybe as he kept searching around the stronghold, he turned a corner, and hey look! Another cool looking table! Except as he looked at it this time, he realized that it was similar to a sketch he saw in the book. Maybe, out of curiosity, and maybe with the slightest feeling of adventure, he chose to test an old legend he found in an old book.

After Philza’s leap of faith into the end portal, and after falling through what felt like time and space itself, Philza finds himself on a platform. Before he can even get his bearings, he hears an utterly familiar voice say-

“Hulloooooo”

#technoblade never dies #technoblade #philza #syndicate lore #dream smp #dsmp #dsmpblr #When I first found out about Technoblade's passing #writing something about it helped me process my emotions at the time #and as i mentioned above realizing that i had always watch techno's streams for sydicate lore hit me hard #so this is me writing through my emotions again #which lead to me making headcanon on how c!Techno's ending could possibly be like #sorry for the really rough start to this post #but i really like how it ended and wanted to share it #thank you for reading all the way to the end (even to the tags no less!)#<3

Alright, I've been meaning to do this for a long time, but I'm finally starting a patreon.

I've spent the last ten years doing shitty retail and food service jobs and honestly it got pretty bad for me for a few years, and it was hard to do anything besides work and eat and sleep.

But I've been doing better this year! And I want to make things. My own things. I'm feeling inspired and like I actually love drawing for the first time in a long time. And I want to hold onto that and keep going. I want to do things I actually care about and believe in and even if this doesn't fully replace having a job I can spend more time doing art and less time making coffee for strangers.

There's not going to be a bunch of big fancy tiers to the patreon just yet. I mostly plan on using it for posing design and concept work for projects I want to work on. If that's something that sounds interesting to you, or if you've ever appreciated the various gay horses and lesbian animals I've drawn over the years, please consider throwing a few bucks a month my way.

Thanks for everything!

#I've also been trying to be less of a fucking hermit all the time #maybe say things and talk to people every now and then #cause it's something I really miss #I used to share my thoughts about media all the time and I almost never do anymore #which is wild cause thinking about media is one of the main things I do #anyway thanks to games like slarpg and roadwarden for making me go 'oh right I wanted to do this too'#and giving me the energy and inspiration to start un-depressing myself #I want to stop being scared of not finishing things and just start them #thank you to everyone who has ever shared and commented on my stuff in the past you have no idea how much it keeps me going #I read every single tag on everything

Boy King Seb :D

#thank you to Grace for the idea of making his chivarly collar red bull instead <33333 #he was gonna have both collars but then making that one made me suffer so no not today #this was a lot of fun but also made me suffer. but i keep looking at it and being like AAAHHHHH BABY!!! BABY BOY!!!!!!!#can you believe i tried to do this in one night? i cant #i stopped and came back to it and was like 'no way you could do this in one sitting at 1 am'#this is kinda the ascended form of that very first sketch i made for this au! concentrated boy king sebby!!!#i say to myself i need to take a break from drawing complicated things but youll prob see a nando version of this in less than a week ;;;#okay about the drawing(i wrote good tags and then tumblr deleted them so these are a bit inferior AGH):#this is typical pouty seb but is also referenced off a specific pic from AD 2009(beloved)#its very important to me how emotionally open Seb is. im not sure the specific context of this. maybe after a triumph?#but instead of being that typical stoic serious detached kind of ruler; i like him being openly emotional(think AD 2010)#its important as well for his dichotomy with nando and how they choose to portray themselves #seb is very assured in himself and his rule vs. nando who is more insecure and bitter about his #so nando takes strides to portray himself in that more stoic calculating way bcs he feels like it helps him legitimize himself better #whereas seb has absolutely no care for outward public image and shows how he feels and is loved for it(nando hates it but loves it)#not that nando cant be fun and whimsical!! but to me he always seems a bit more mysterious; like i can never tell his true thoughts tbh #anyways i feel like ill finish 10 more drawings before i end up posting the lore pt 2 LMAO #its just a lot harder to organize and layout compared to part 1 which was just an explanation #pt2 would be a mix of more world building/characterization/anecdotes ive talked about with mutuals(LOVE YOU GUYS!!!)#i have a *lot* of ideas (gotta whip out my notes app every once in a while to write down stuff abt it) just hard to put into a coherent pos #sebastian vettel #f1 #formula 1 #f1 art #formula 1 art #f1 fanart #formula 1 fanart #catie.art.#*ill prob make a process post later if anyone is curious!! its fun to write abt my process and influences and such #boy king au

yet another reprise of the same post i’ve made dozens and dozens of times before but GEEZ! i am so incredibly lucky to be doing what i’m doing! to think i spend hours and hours and days and weeks and months and years and hopefully DECADES pouring over animation history, lauding the masters and studying their work so intently and absorbing it and feeling and identifying with it, and the fact that i get to walk the same turf they did. that i get to be a part of this business that they established. that i get to carry the torch and that, some day, no matter how small or insignificant, my own work and contributions will be regarded as “animation history” because i work in animation and all history is history. i just can’t believe that i’m privileged enough to indulge in some of the same practices that The Greats did, that i get to study their work and, if i’m so lucky, channel and make homages to it where possible.

this isn’t to say “i’m just like Tex Avery because i work in animation TOO!!!!”, but, rather, an expression of my sheer GRATITUDE and amazement that i get to do what i do at all. i’ve met so many nice people. blossomed so much as an artist and cartoonist. get inspired each day by the talent i am constantly surrounded by. and to think that i get to be a part of it!!!!! that i get to carry the torch! i know this sounds so conceited and pompous and i really don’t mean it that way at all because i don’t WANT to be known as someone who people are only interested in because i work in cartoons. i just wanna be known for me! what “me” is i guess is for you to decide! but, regardless, i’m just feeling extra thankful tonight that i’m able to indulge in my passions and SPREAD my passions and have said passions fostered. that i’m lucky enough to tread the same ground as some of the greatest creatives that gave me this ground to tread on. there will never be enough words to properly articulate just how deeply and passionately my gratitude extends.

#not naming names because i feel weird bragging about them behind their back but one person who works on our show i look up to very very #highly. I MEAN I DO FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. i am literally surrounded by some of the best in the business. but one person i particularly revere #said they were a ‘big fan of my work’ and when i was told that i legitimately went lightheaded for a few seconds #or again Ruth Clampett commenting that her dad would ‘love to see this cartoon live on’ on my art and making me bawl like an absolute baby #IT’S JUST SO CRAZY #i just. man #it’s really beyond words #and so many other kind words from bosses coworkers friends mutuals acquaintances total strangers #i don’t take any of your kindness or even just. awareness for granted #i know i’m not often vreat at responding but i do read every single tag every ask every DM! please know i never take it for granted #thank you for keeping me company and deciding i’m worth the company to keep #okay i think i have officially gone into word salad territory so it’s time to retreat #i’ve gotten much less candid for fear of maintaining some semblance of professionality but sometimes you just need to speak from the heart #(and i’ve gotten much less neurotic about that in recent months thankfully. Tumblr is my little safe haven)#so thank you for making it a safe haven at all

#jeez. i wont say much there's a lot of emotions behind this for me for numerous numerous reasons that i won't get into too too much #so i put it in the tags how i feel in this moment of clarity yet also somber #i am going to miss matpat in ways i do not believe i can express in words and i know that sounds like a lot to put into some guy #some guy on youtube no less; but he has helped with through so so much turmoil and sadness that would not have been pushed through #had it not been for him and the way he is genuine and kind to his fanbase #im sad ill never have met him in person; he is by far one of my favorite creators from my wee ages to now and a huge inspo to me to do what #i love and not want works; but to strive to be a better person and to make a difference where i stand.#this blog means a lot to me and is in my own way my little child that i was sad to part with time and time again #i think this is my sign to mayhaps retire this blog fully; but who knows! i wanted to post something funny and acknowledge this was happeni #because it honestly hit really hard all of a sudden #sorry for rambling and thank you if you read all of this!#▇ 🌟┊🎮 ❝ isucc ❞ 🎮┊🌟 ▇ (isaac murmurs)#▇ 🌟┊🎮 ❝ just an adoring fan ❞ 🎮┊🌟 ▇ (ooc tag)

First of all it is a pleasure. To the point, what was your inspiration to start drawing? and… How did you hear about Cuphead?

A pleasure to speak to you too!💛

And as for your question-

I had to dig deep for this information lol my memory isn't what it used to be!

But I remember I heard about the Cuphead game back when they released that awesome trailer at E3 2015! I have always been a fan of rubber hose cartoons and my favorite games growing up were platformers, so when I saw this labor of love video game I couldn't be more excited! I didn't talk about it much on here but HOO BOY my excitement for this game was insane!

When I finally got to play it I was SO excited! I fell in love with it! It was challenging and charming and clearly the product of a passionate and skilled team! It remains one of my favorite games! It took me a while to come around to watch the show. I watched it only a couple months or so before the release of the final couple of episodes on netflix aired. I love both the cartoon and the game with all my heart, they both helped me through some hard times. It's crazy to think I only just now got into the online fandom considering how long I've been a fan! But I've loved all the mutuals and followers I've gained through making art for this and I can't wait to see what else comes out of this wonderful fandom.

Here's hoping they renew the show and also here's to supporting all studio MDHR has to offer!🥂

#Thanks for asking!#Sorry for going off lol I just REALLY love this game/show #I was being abused during the time I got to play the game and It really helped me escape in times I needed to #And we had lost a dear pet the day we decided to watch the show and it was the only thing that made us laugh #Cuphead is really a one-of-a-kind creation. I can admit it has faults but that will never make me enjoy it any less #I was smiling like an idiot thinking bout all this #This game is actually what i play when I've had a bad day and it always makes it better. it's so charming and amazing #sorry im still just going off lol-#staroflight on blog #This was nice #sorry for the rambles though! I just get passionate and excited 🥹#ALSO FUN FACT my first cuphead OC was a Tea cup with a tea tag hanging from her head. I think ribbon suits me more though :)

anyways i'm enjoying the pjo series but i do think that the god of war & his children should be built less like dehydrated marvel muscle shows and more like contestants in a strongman competition . be nice to see some fat people on my screen once in a while idk

#not gnna tag this w anything directly related to the series bc i do not have the emotional energy to debate this #but idk man it'd be nice if smth with such otherwise great & diverse casting didn't sem like fat ppl are never allowed to exist #i got so excited when i saw a camp halfblood resident in a wheelchair !! it made me feel so happy !!#but then the recognition that ppl r only allowed to be diverse when theyre hot & slim is a bit of a hut punch idk #it's taken me a rlly fuckin long time to accept my body n recognise that fatness isn't the enemy #n i think that realisation might've come a fuck of a lot quicker if id seen more fat ppl in media who weren't there for comic relief or pity #like i'll be so real . watching world's strongest man w liv did more for my body image issues than Literaöly Anything Else #bc recognising that body fat and size and heft is actually a Good And Useful Quality did wonders #i think ares should look more like tom stoltman anf less like chris hemsworth ok thanks cool bye #jay screams into the void

minor arcana iii.—wood

(unrated/non-explicit; 12.6k words)

When she wakes up, the first thing she realizes is—she's not alone.

[ » continue reading on ao3 ]

and if you enjoy, perhaps consider a reblog? 💖

#nari #nari of the eternal forest #arcane order #toa wizards #tales of arcadia #my fic #IT'S DONE. SHE'S FREE #i think i'm. as satisfied as i can be #the dissonance from the other two parts is intentional; there's been a substantial timeskip since the last chapter #(which was. roughly. within a few years of the first one anyway)#but my thesis is twofold.#1.) nari is fundamentally different from bellroc and skrael; AND #2.) she has never been anything less than their family #anyway as always mind the tags reboogle if u enjoy thanks for sticking with me on this long strange ride 💖
