I hope Siffrin made his lil shitty faces from act 5 when he was a teen because holy fuck does he deserve to go ham around that age. Imagine not knowing the language of the country you are in, have no money, no memory, and no one exactly helps you past "here young one have some soup and a place to rest before you head out for your journey :)" because they don't understand you, and you're also trying to figure out your gender. They deserve to make the shittiest fucking faces while doing vaugardian McDonald's esque jobs while getting microaggressed every five minutes as a TEENAGER

Mayor Mingus Birthday.

I have prepared an image that perfectly encapsualtes the nuances of Mingus' character, one that fits someone of her stature. Thank you. Thanks for dreaming with me. Thanks.

(Also, for those who haven't seen it, I wrote a short Mingus story featuring her YEARS before DT takes place. Seems fitting to plug it today, since it's her birthday and all. Y'know, even though she'd likely hate it... Thank you!)

Yeah!!! So!!! I like this game!!! Here are some doodles of me just figuring out how to draw some of the goobers. Sif may not be my favorite (it's Odile. Odile's my favorite.) but they are the most fun to draw

Less polished stuffs under the cut

Decided to recreate a dream I had. I really just need to make a dream tag at this point I have so many strange ones.

Hi there!!! I'm a big fan of the way you draw Susie in particular, and as someone who's having a hard time getting her face down, I must ask, what process do you use when drawing her?

Anon you're in luck because I already made a post about drawing susie's face a while ago!!

EDIT : I HIT ANSWER TOO QUICKLY!!!! SORRY!!!!! here's the post : link

I can't be too detailed currently since I'm not home. But once I am home, I'll try to explain further!

I'm sorry to announce that earthworms are not bugs in the slightest. Good news, though! Crabs are!

I think if roger got up too fast and fell over on his face instead of getting back up he'd just lay there for a few minutes just spacing out. Peter would find him and be like "oh no?? Has he been drinking again???" But as he worriedly asks Roger if he's ok Roger just tilts his phone upwards from his face planted position on the ground and gives a thumbs up like "yeah I fell down five minutes ago but I just haven't felt like getting back up. I will eventually though."

fuck the hero's journey you don't need all of that you only need 4 points to kickstart a story basis you can build on top of

who: want: obstacle: need:

define your character. tell me what it is they want in this story. what obstacle is preventing them from getting what they want? now, what do they need to realise in order to resolve their conflict? in some cases the need may result in the story ending without them getting what they want, and that's real bc they still went through an emotional arc. examples + rambling under the cut

i will bullshit something right now just to show you

who: a gay bartender. want: to get with the guy he's serving. obstacle: no matter what the bartender mixes and serves to try and impress the guy, the guy doesn't seem invested. need: to realise the guy wasn't interested in the drinks bc he was more interested in eyeing up the bartender, and that he only ever needed to ask the guy out in plain terms.

who: someone who sinks into the background and is very shy. want: to become famous and the life of the party, for everyone to know and like her. obstacle: talking to people is scary! and really hard to do consisently! need: to realise she didn't really desire attention from all sides, but just wanted one friend she could grow close with. turns out the quiet life is quite pleasant! and even more pleasant with a pal.

sometimes throwing down stuff like this will lead u onto more developing thoughts which tie stuff together more. such as: maybe girl in example 2 learnt she only wanted 1 friend bc she found someone who thought her shy personality was charming. so now you wanna develop who this friendly friend is, and so on.

you can apply it to stories you already know too. try and reverse engineer some stories you enjoy to figure out their basic structure.

ofc this method has its limitations, it kind of relies on some sort of moral throughline to tie things together instead of just letting things naturally exist and progress and find complexity, but as a way to kickstart writing a story from scratch it tends to help me out so i hope it helps u out toooooo

also just so we're clear dont worry hero's journey u are brilliant as u are and a fantastic tool for story-making. i just dont have enough braincells to do all that when i need to just chuck something out as a foundation which i can then play with and reiterate upon asap
