~*Our...Darling Siblings.*~ (Reupload from Wattpad!)

...I suppose it would be easiest to start with the elephant in the room. 

Or, rather, in the Kingdom. Basil Auralius Bareroot. How does one speak the 20-year-old's name without a shiver of terror- of sheer rage- speeding down one's spine? He is the definition of a wall-skirter; he is a water-wader to avoid at all costs.  This is why Kinoko Kingdom, though she hasn't a single relevant charge against him, closes her ears when she hears his rambling whispers. Why she greets him with a sneer when those eyes- those deadly curious eyes- happen to look towards her castle.  Just look at him, children! Heed not his thoughts of treason. I assure you, good people...one of these lovely days...he will be revealed.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dang...wait, he doesn't even look-"

𝕾𝖍𝖍! 𝕷𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖓 𝖙𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖘𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖞, 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖌𝖔𝖔𝖘𝖊.

...Well. Okay, then. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then, there's his sister. Estera Catherine Bareroot. 

One wouldn't think it, but despite her...unfortunate lineage, she is actually the prime example of a perfect Kinoko adolescent. Her attitude towards the kingdom is profoundly wondrous, her grades have been exemplary ever since childhood...everything about her demeanour is wonderful. No surprise there, really; her parents- Dyana and Noah- were sure to tighten their iron fist once Basil was old enough to leave the house. Now, at the ripe age of 16, she is blossoming like never before. 

But...well. There is still something a tad strange about her. Sometimes, if one happens to glance at her during class at Upper Kinoko Prep...one can see the deepest of sadnesses behind her eyes. 

Ah...some roots run quite deep, do they not? But it is inconsequential in the end- after all, once Estera becomes a legal adult, she will be able to truly reap the rewards of her harvest. 

Then, all traces of sorrow will surely leave her eyes. 

Such is the blessing for those with a strong dogma, a faith devout and everlasting. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So...yeah! These are the main protagonists of my DSMP fic. Don't worry, they're fine...completely fine.

This was drawn traditionally, and considering that 75% of all this was done in the dead of night, I'm pretty freakin' happy with how they turned out. (This was actually my first time ever drawing out Basil, too, so that's even better!!)

I do have one or two sketches of Estera from the past, so I'll go ahead and post the most recent/lore-accurate version of her here: 

(Yes, she is indeed capable of smiling. Not gonna lie, it took a hot minute to figure out how to make her look sane in that first drawing. Seriously, those rough drafts of eyes bordered on psychopathic. XD) 

Thanks so much for viewing, guys, and remember to never put popsicles in your coffee!!

With Platonic <3,

~*Background Art*~ (Reulpload from Wattpad)!

Basically, the story behind this is that Wattpad only accepted around 2 megabytes worth of photo space for profile background images, and the drawing I had tried to do was around 6 or 7. Full post chaos ensued. XD Oh, and also: the shadow in the background is supposed to be a girl fidgeting with her hair or tying a necklace back or something; I don't really freakin' know anymore. I realised a while back that that looks like one hell of an optical illusion at first glace, so I figured I'd clear that up for any askers in the comments! I hope you guys enjoy! Hope you have a great one, and as always, remember to never put popsicles in your coffee.

With Platonic <3,

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 

1. Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.

2. Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.

3. Concussions

This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.

I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.

4. Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.

5. Road Rash

Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.

6. Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.

7. Deep Laceration

A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.

This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.

8. Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.

If you want to explore writing burns, read here.

9. Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.

10. Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

Oh-! Fancy Seeing You Here, Man!

Don't mind my mildly omnipresent OCs up there/down there (depends on what link you clicked on to get here). Yes, this is the break room, but it's not a "blogger-only" break room. Sit down, man; rest a spell. And while you're here, lemme tell you how things are around these parts!

~ From here on, please read. I know it's a lot, but it's still important. ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: What plans do you have for this page?

A: I'm thinking of making this a half-art, half-update blog. Up until this point, I've mainly been posting life updates and stuff on Wattpad, but I'm fairly certain that people can't access these posts without making an account with the site first. And since a lot of people on the great World Wide Web have Tumblr accounts, why not transfer some of those posts here? However, in order for me to do that, you first need to know a few things:

~ I wrote a futuristic, Kinoko Kingdom-esque DSMP fic on Wattpad called "An Herb's Guide To Drowning". You can access that while signed out, so feel free to give it a read if you'd like! ~ As far as writing goes, I'm currently on hiatus until further notice. Life do be busy as hell sometimes, y'all. ~ The fic itself is long. Like, we're talking nearly 700 Google Doc pages long. And it has a Mature rating stamped onto it on top of that. So if you're not at least 15, I'd really prefer if you didn't read this thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: What fandoms are you in? What sort of art-based nonsense can we expect from here?

A: Oh, God, a lot. Recently, I've been drowned head-first into the lovely world of indie animation- specifically (and not in order of importance), Murder Drones, Lakadaisy, The Amazing Digital Circus, ENA, Spooky Month, Cardinal Garden (when it comes out), and possibly a few more that I can't think of right now. I also love the Dream SMP/Quackity SMP, Animaniacs/Pinky and The Brain (both the original and the reboot), YouTube storytime animators (Jaiden Animations, Rebecca Parham/Let Me Explain Studios, etc.), Vocaloid/UTAULoid, and Broadway...a lot of freakin' Broadway.

Basically, expect chaos of the highest degree. XD

(I also have a small art book on Wattpad, if you'd like to go check that out! When I make art, I'll post both on the book and on Tumblr itself.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: What other socials do you have?

A: YouTube and Scratch. Keep in mind, though, YouTube is, without question, the more active one out of those. I've had the Scratch for nearly three years now, and it's literally just for DSMP roleplays at this point. (Help me.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: Who the heck are the OCs?

A: Ichabod and Rosie! Ichabod's a Tale Foundry-ish robot with a bit o' a Southern twang to his tongue, and Rosie's his...creator. Kind of. I haven't quite finalised their lore yet. They're crazy. XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: Anything else we need to know about you? Any guidelines for behaviour and stuff?

A: I'm so glad you asked. XD

~ I am Christian. There are heavy amounts of Christian references in the fanfic, and there will most likely be Christian talk/references on here.

~ There is a possibility that mature topics will be discussed on this blog, mainly along the lines of violence. As a good guideline, if you're under 15, proceed with extreme caution before scrolling.

~ Do not repost/reupload any of my art/stories without first asking me on here. Keep in mind, if you just ask, the answer will most likely be yes!

~ You ARE free to make fanart/animations/continuation stories of my stuff, as long as you put in your description something along the lines of "this was inspired by ______", along with a link to my profile/whatever you're referencing. If you have any questions about what you can and cannot make, please, please, PLEASE ask me.

~ No explicit discussion/topics on this blog. Not even in the comments, please. I'm going to say the same thing I said on Wattpad- if you wouldn't say what you're about to comment to a 13-year-old, then please don't say it at all.

~ No commissions, please. Again, life do be pretty darned busy at the moment. <33

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...Well. I think that's pretty much it! If you guys have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask! I hope you guys have an awesome time on here (and an awesome rest of your day/night). And as always, remember to never put popsicles in your coffee! With Platonic <3,
