CW for slight flashing lights and potential eyestrain; the flashing is brief, but a fair few of the scene transitions are quite abrupt, and some of the frames may have a flickering effect. I’ve done my best to minimize this, but please exercise caution and stay safe! More CWs are listed in the description of the video.

You've all been massive inspirations to me, and I couldn't have done this without everyone's support. Thank you all so much for being here. I hope you enjoy!! :D

Welp. Remember how I mentioned in the tags and replies on this post that the WIP was close-ish to being postable? I might've underestimated how close I was to getting it ready for that.

As in... Since then I may or may not have completely finished it (assuming I don't find any more last minute corrections to make) in a feverish daze of inspiration. Oops? Lmao

Anyway. I guess my little project is getting posted sometime tomorrow, bar any unexpected circumstances? So stay tuned, I guess? Either way, thanks for being here, and enjoy the second part of this out of context shitpost! :)

PANEL ONE:

Chat: Hmm... No, you're right.

Magical John: Phew!

PANEL TWO:

Chat, speaking with an arrow pointed to them labelled "(STILL talking to self)": Cannibalizing him is a better idea.

Magical John: What- NO!

Chat: We're a genius.

Out of context shitpost for the massive WIP I've been dedicating most of my time to! :)

Chat, speaking with an arrow pointed to them labelled "(Talking to self)": Hmm... How to deal with these... feelings we're feeling about Magical John? What do you all think? Hit him with a cinder block? That'll help, yeah?

Magical John: UM. PLEASE DO NOT?

Most of the adults on the Realm of the Fey team can be pretty intimidating. I imagine there was a time when Jefferson probably only felt comfortable talking to Obama, as the least intimidating person in the party. Even after Jefferson gets over this, I think they’d get along especially well. :)

how do you draw so often it facinates me

Hi, thanks for the question! I honestly had to really stop to think about this one, because truthfully, I'm not entirely sure myself, haha. I don't think I've ever stopped to seriously consider how my brain works during my creative process before. Which means I've got a lot to say, I guess. So hopefully this answer is insightful!

During these past couple of months in particular, I've been wildly creatively inspired, moreso than I think I've ever been in my life. I've been drawing and writing up a storm. And it's all for RTMiitopia specifically, for some reason! Which has been unexpected, but it's definitely nice. But honestly, I have no idea why, lol. I won't get into specifics much, but I've been pretty busy for a while, and only recently got some solid free time. But I was drawing a ton both while I had stuff going on and now that things have calmed down, so I'm pretty sure it's not just a stress thing. Even now, I'm not entirely sure what the deal with that is, but I'm grateful for it nevertheless! It's been really fun feeling so energized and inspired, so I guess it's better not to look a gift horse in the mouth and just enjoy it while it lasts, haha.

More generally, though, I think that the main reason I draw so much is because I genuinely have a lot of fun doing it! More often than not I really enjoy the art I make, and I usually find the process of creating it to be very relaxing. A lot of times when I sit down to draw it's just quick sketches. But oftentimes, when I'm listening to music or a youtube video, I find myself wanting to do something with my hands, so during that time I usually to ink and color the sketches I think turned out especially nice. It's not good to do that sort of thing all of the time, though-- it's important to make sure your hands get plenty of rest and that you don't overwork yourself, even if you're having fun! I'm not the best about that, as I tend to get caught up in what I'm doing and not realize how long I've been drawing without a break, but still.

I'd say that the key, at least in my case, is not to force it, and to go with the flow where possible. While I may be very inspired at the moment, this blog has definitely had long periods of inactivity in the past, during times where I've been caught up in other things. Sometimes that's involved focusing more on my OCs or other fandom-related stuff, and other times it's simply that I've been busy or needed rest. I think it's important not to give up on art entirely during these times, but it's also essential to be patient with yourself. It's worked out the best for me to draw whatever's the most fun when I'm up for it, and get plenty of rest when I'm not! Sometimes I get anxious when I feel like I haven't posted anything on here in a while, but worrying too much about consistency is likely to make me want to draw less, honestly. Or if I'm up for it and I have the time, I'll just post something quick and silly, lol. There are also occasionally times when I'm out of ideas but I still want to draw something, which is rare for me, but super frustrating whenever it happens. When that happens, I tend to consider what I haven't drawn before and what would be fun to try out. Which, for me, usually ends up being drawing Chat and John in different Miitopia outfits, lol.

And, of course, looking at everyone else's art is incredibly motivating for me as well!! Seeing so many talented people and all of their incredible RTMiitopia stuff always makes me want to draw more. This is a pretty small fandom, so I often get feeling of wanting to contribute to it and give back to the people who've inspired me in some way! I'm majorly grateful to be able to see everyone's cool art, so I try to provide cool art for others to see as well! That's also why I've been trying to be less shy about commenting on other people's posts recently. I can personally attest to how awesome receiving positive feedback is, so I've been trying to reply to posts I like more often. All of the drawing I've been doing recently is also an outlet for those warm fuzzy feelings, in a way!! And whenever I get any kind of positive feedback, it tends to get me SUPER amped up, which helps feed into my creative energy even more. It's like a never-ending feedback loop of artistic inspiration! Admittedly, I'm more extrinsically motivated than I'd like to be, haha. Remembering everyone's kind words over the course of my time here has always been a surefire pick-me-up when I need it! I go back to reread the tags and comments on my posts fairly often, and it always makes me smile. :)

So, TL;DR, my general strategy for drawing so often is to not stress too much and have fun!

Anyway, I know this was sort of a long and rambling answer, and that my method definitely doesn't work for everyone, but I hope it addressed what you were wondering about well enough. Thanks for the ask, and I hope you have a wonderful day!! :D

Noibat is an excellent pick for him!! Gliscor is great too, but I like the reference to him being a pop star a lot!! That's a perfect Pokémon for Barackula!! :D

Look at him go!! If you don't mind, I'll absolutely be adopting that headcanon as my own as well!! :)

Their Pokémon Mystery Dungeons AU would be legendary, honestly...

I think that in a PMD Explorers of Sky adjacent situation, Chat would be the protagonist and Magical John would be the partner character. Chat would wake up on the beach with amnesia and see Magical John passed out next to them. They poke him with a stick and when it turns out he's alive, they initially assume he's in the same situation as they are. But it turns out he just got mugged by the Team Skull equivalent for his Relic Fragment, and his memories are totally intact, lol.

They'd have to talk to Cupcake on Magical John's behalf to help him join the guild because everyone's too afraid of him to hear him out when he tries to ask alone, lmao.

Cupcake would be the cheerful Guild Deputy, and I Want Die would be the intimidating Guild Leader that everyone but Cupcake is afraid to talk to. He looks scary, but he's actually really caring and compassionate on the inside! And the other Miitopia party members would be the guild ensemble! :D

Jefferson would be a Piplup, of course, and I think Gilbert would be an Impidimp. Not sure about the rest. Lemme know if any of you have any ideas! :)

Ooh, those are both great picks for Chat too!! I like Chat as Combee because of RT's Brilliant Diamond playthrough (RIP to Chat the Combee, lol) and because it matches Sunflora so well, but Lampent and Mimikyu are great matches as well! Lampent already kinda looks like it's wearing a little wizard hat, which is adorable. And the lore with Mimikyu and how you're never supposed to look under its disguise and how that would apply to Chat is fascinating!

Combee Chat is still my personal headcanon, but I decided to draw Mimikyu Chat in particular regardless, because they're adorable. :)

I imagine negotiations to join the guild would go a bit less smoothly if Chat was ALSO a fairly intimidating Pokémon, but they'd manage, lol.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts in the tags!! :D

(Also, unrelated, but:)

(When I say I genuinely laughed out loud, I 100% mean it, lmao. I felt the same way drawing him! He doesn't look right without hair...)

Bothering him <3

(Do not let his stern expression fool you. He's having a great time. She's absolutely his favorite.)

[miitopiaenjoyer]

You ever think Magical John assumes HE'S the normal one in the Realm of the Fey friend group? I mean, between I Want Die's whole deal, Jefferson being an alien Pengwing child, and this whole incident...

Redraw of that moment near the beginning of RTMiitopia episode 5, "The Burning of Magical John"! :)

Obama: Here's the deal! I'm going to drink the mysterious piss-colored liquid!

Action note: ?!?!

PANEL THREE:

Magical John: ...

[miitopiaenjoyer]

Shenanigans. :)

Magical John fully expected Chat to just eat the entire apple themselves, and he didn't mind that at all. They like to eat! He's just happy to help!

But them actually sharing food is a HUGE show of affection by their standards, and he recognizes that. Cute :)

[miitopiaenjoyer]

The following weeks were rough, to say the least. Magical John was still incredibly ill, after all. He wouldn’t change anything about how things went with Chat, from pouring everything he had into protecting them in their initial confrontation to their emotional conversation afterwards, but it had overexerted his already-weak body greatly. When Dread had found out about what had happened, they’d very nearly strangled the both of them. 

Some post-argument art for "Of Yellow Roses and Glaring Eyes" that I drew a while ago and recently colored and shaded!

Honestly even more applicable to "Not Until The Injury" if you ignore the outfit inconsistencies though, lmao.
