HERE WE GOOOOO!!! Just thought these were funny/cute, so I wanted to have em separate

These are pretty recent, so I approve more of the designs 👌🏼

Anyways, first one is just a funny comic Idea I had, of what Asher would be like as an older man(like roughly 50s-60s), and he’s left in charge of some twerp while they’re all in an apocalypse or something.

Also, the “tch” part was a drawing made separate, not part of the comic lol woops.

Good stuff, tho, if I do say so myself *kisses fingers*

Lookit them besties

I should make that into a sticker

Anyways, REEEEEEEEEEEE I’m so excited to show the next couple sketches!! Cause UGH they’re so good so cute so demure I wanna eat them

But I did edit them somewhat after the pics were taken, so I’m trying to decide if I should retake them or not, so might give y’all a break from the sketches for a bit lol, well see REEEEEE

[bluejaysymphony]

I know I know

I’m gracing y’all with so much art, I bet y’all all really care about my lil blorbos, it’s ok I care enough about them for the both of us

ESPECIALLY THISS RAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It’s bebeh Asherrrrrrr he’s so cuuuuuute 😭

Oh and his father, lookit that handsome man~

Absolutely swooning I tellz yah

I hate this page don’t look at it

Trying out Emma’s design again, we love herrr—And omFG iS THAT LUMMITY??!?! FUCK YEAH

Then testing out markers with my friend’s(@pixiehobbit) OC again!! :D

I will eat them all

[bluejaysymphony]

And then this is more of my bbg Asher’s backstory(that I’m still figuring out), or really just him as a kid—he’s so cuuute LOOK AT HIIIIIMMMM

EMMMMAAAAAAAAAA MAH GORLL

Then I made a random guilty pleasure OC—i just like deer ok. Sadly haven’t used them since.

More Emma and Ash(some from rp) and trying out awesome paint markers for Asher!!

Anyways I love these guys~ 😭

I have a hate-love relationship with all of these drawings.

These afe a bit newer, probably September-October?? I’m guessing???

[bluejaysymphony]

SKETCHDUUUUUUUMMMPPP

Yeah, I’ve lost a lot of interest in posting these past couple years, but I still want to, so here’s some drawings I did…idk probably back in the summertime? And then I want to post up to my most recent sketches. Idk, maybe this’ll give me more motivation *shrugs*

In that case, fell free to ask me some stuff about them! The answers are subject to change later xD but it might give me motivation and ability to flesh them out~

Most of these are my OCs(with a lot of old designs)

Emma is the bird girl, Asher is the skeleton guy, and the one (clearly unfinished) colored pencil drawing of the dark-skinned guy is my friend’s oc (@pixiehobbit)

Most of it’s just messing with their designs, seeing what I like and whatnot. These are a couple months old tho, so again, not their current designs.

Oh also, see if you can spot the Maxley.

Aaaaw lookit them, your honor

They’re menaces to society

If you're a creator and you needed to hear this today:

You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.

People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.

My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.

idk if anyone else did this with broppy yet

[bluejaysymphony]

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

They’re just so cute, your honor ;-;

Happy Belated Broppy Day I guess!! I could have TOTALLY posted these that day, but I didn’t realize! Uuggh, I’m just really bad at posting and I should do it more even if the drawings are just sketches

Also, I realized later that he *has* fallen asleep around her(literally in the first movie), so let’s just say that this is more of a deep sleep…like he was able to relax, and he fell asleep…and that’s so cute I’m throwing up 😭

Might be silly later and color all of it idk

[bluejaysymphony]

Happy Broppy Day!! Here's a tribute to our favorite pookies <3 Hope you like them!!

A long time ago, two races lived peacefully on the Earth’s surface, HUMANS and MONSTERS. One day, a terrible war broke out between the two creeds. After a long battle, the HUMANS were victorious. They forced the MONSTERS into a mountain cavern and sealed the entrance with a magic spell.

Many years have passed since then…

I’ve been working on a role-playing game. It’s called UNDERTALE. Here is the demo. Please play it if you have Windows. If you like the game, please post about it and tell your friends to play it.

I've gotten a few Palestinian evacuation fundraisers in my inbox of late, and I've been able to confirm these ones as legitimate using resources from folks like el-shab-hussein. Please help these families however you can, even if that's just by reblogging this to spread the word.

Mohammed Alanqer and his family, including a newborn. On Tumblr @mohammedalanqer

Amal and her kids, one of whom is diabetic. On Tumblr @amlanqar

Fadi, a high school student, and his family. On Tumblr @mayadayyad81

I've given to all of these families just now. I hope you will too.
