This year has been one filled with immense inspiration, with side quests through interior design, live figure drawing, natural landscapes, and sooo much more. I love seeing what this redraw reveals about the artistic journey through the years, and can I just say-

NICE GAMS DARLIN’!

@usukweek Day 4: Reverse Tropes - Too Hot To Cuddle

this was... SO FUN TO DRAW. Tangled and Tied by otakuashels and Shuriken7 has been my go-to airplane fanfic since i was 14. It was a real joy illustrating a scene I've read dozens of times over.

the prompt "reverse tropes" left me head empty, so i googled it n found "too hot to cuddle" (as opposed to hypothermic-uh-ho-we-have-to-naked-snug-to-stay-alive) and i was like hmm but then AH-HA! scene already written,

Thankyouuu decades-old usuk fanfic community!!! <333 You keep my artistic spirit alive and air travel a delight!

Life Update (Good!)

Good evening my beautiful, fabulous friends!

I realize I haven't been active much. Although I've been medium motivated to write and art (been frequenting figure drawing classes in Oakland. The 510 Firehouse- highly recommend!) there's been so little time between work and moving preparations. MOVING!

It's been exactly a year since I took a gap year following freshman year in DC, and in about three weeks I'm heading back! I was recently scammed out of $1600 and a secure identity in my rental search AND the company I work for has no DC availability (even though i spoke with the manager and she said yes arg)- we soldier on! As of now, we've got no accommodations, no job, and no internship

But i have a one way ticket and by GOD i am getting on that plane.

Sigh-

Ahem. anyways. so between applications, meeting with potential roommates and landlords, securing an epic fall course schedule, planning a 3500 mile move, getting my license (behind-the-wheel test on Tuesday- wish me luck!), working through some very intense trauma-related revelations while trying to stay sane, working 13 hour days, and saying goodbye to friends, family, and co-workers I've been very busy

I'm so behind on usuk fanfics on ao3 its driving me crazy TT

With my gap year almost at an end, I could not be more grateful for the ability to take a step back from school to reassess my mental approach and gain some much need experience (we do the SEX, we WORK, we DRIVE, we make $$, it's all good stuff). I think the best thing I've learned over the last year is the amount of initial effort you've gotta input into just about everything to get anything worthwhile. There's been so must rejection when I've poured my heart out. That type of rejection is absolutely devastating, but learning to not put all your eggs into one basket and the usual outcome that something does work out is an unbeatable high. Like FUCK YEAH. I DID THAT SHIT.

I've gotten much more comfortable being uncomfortable.

I thought I was when I entered my freshman year, but instead I used the unconscious coping mechanisms learned as a kid dealing with an alcoholic parent. In the face of prolonged discomfort, I self isolated, slacked on school work to engage in solitary activities like hiking and art and writing and jogging, and only managed to get work done by bullying myself into anxiety and hate-induced all-nighters every two weeks. I didn't join clubs, didn't make friends, and felt miserable.

A part of me is terrified I'll repeat the same mistakes, but I really don't think so. I hope I don't. If nothing else, I have a new perspectives of what's to gain by putting myself out there, socially. There's so much to gain and i can see that now. I knew the consequences of not, but this year revealed the outcome of.

Anyways. TLDR I am extremely busy, but I'm catsitting two very sweet babies right now, and hope everyone is doing exceptionally.

Love,

Help Wanted: Knowing TF2 Beta

Anyone potentially interested in beta-ing my first ever TF2 fic? The noob gameplay knowledge is lacking.

It's essentially an Upward Payload set-up, then storm cuts off tele communication n medical shipments, revealing an unfortunate team-wide dependency of the medigun's headache-like alleviating abilities.

The vibe's meant to be comedic, gory, and whumpy

[hwsforeignrelations]

Really appreciated y’all’s feedback on my last redraw. I totally agree that the first one (2021), while lacking in many areas, had MUCH superior vibes of intimacy and general composition.

I’ve been marinating in an art funk (the bad type) but redraws come easy enough and I survived many hideously long air and trains rides last week to put more attention into this guy.

Check out the first redraw and I’d love to hear some feedback/key smashing tags/comments!

Day 5 of @historical-hetalia-week, 1800-1945

For my first time working with animation, love the final GIF! Been obsessing over cowboy fashion lately (recently came into possession of a mighty fine cowboy hat). Chaps, stirrup pants, dusty horse kisses, western bowties, western saddles- GAH! Gotta love a cowboy!
