Well this is a bit disheartening to have as a first comment on a gift fic I did

heads up to any isat fic writers. do not reach out to messages like this. this user has no bookmarks, works, or anything, they joined ao3 this month, so this is either a scam or phishing.

be careful opening random discord or email links or finding users like this via a random comment. if you're an artist wanting to collab with a writer, NEVER send a message like this or else they will assume the same out of you.

i have a background in comics and graphic novel production so this is really easy for me to see the red flags but just in case any other isat fic writers are getting this. stay the hell away from this.

I’ve been on a traditional art roll lately and I don’t think I’m gonna stop anytime soon.

Time to write fanfiction about Megatron

(x)

[rubypasha1]

So, as some of you may k ow, I’m currently moving. I’ve had to pack all my art stuff (pencils, paints, art book) away just so we can declutter and get stuff done. I’ve been trying to come up with a proper design for my cybertronian reader’s helm at least and nothings stuck until-

What you know, im fooling around with a market and box and I get this! Definitely going to tweak some things but this is the one I’m happiest with so far.

And I can’t draw properly for around another two weeks. AHHHHHHH. Oh well.

I was searching for some pretty Hanukkah gifs to schedule a post tomorrow wishing my Jewish followers Happy Hanukkah and I found a fit/shape/body building site that posted this

And I thought to myself, I simply must show my Jewish followers fit Menorah Man

Who is your favourite Reader or MC that you've written?

Now that’s a hard one. But I think my it’s the one from Set the Sails, feels nice to write someone like that.

I think my one from Make Art, Not War will probably become my favorite as well as I flush out her character a bit. Funny how the two are different in so many ways but still both so enjoyable to write.

Thanks for the question ❤️

I've always admired the detail you put into your fics. Do you have any particular method of coming up with it all?

Wow, that was quick! And thanks a bunch, that’s a wonderful to say!

Honestly, I’ve always loved detail work with my writing. I have a very descriptive style. Although, I make up stuff as I go. The plot of all my docs starts out as point A, B, M and Y. Everything else slowly comes about as I go.

Usually when I have free time I imagine a few scenes and jot down some things I like. Playing through stuff over and over again in your head can plush things out nicely.

The main way I like to make sure I put enough detail in (at least for me) is physically imagine what’s going on in a scene. Especially emotions. The five senses are great with that type of thing. And I love metaphors and similes. I need to build a picture, the main goals is to allow readers to see what I see when I write. Or at least something similar.

Honestly though? I just let the story take control. I go with the flow and write what seems to fit, going back to flush things out with some added bits helps too. I have fun with it.

Thanks for the question! Hope you have a wonderful day/night ❤️

New chapter of Make Art, Not War is out!

Who is ready for some violence?

[rubypasha1]

Sometimes I imagine my eyes are someone else’s or that someone else can see through them. Perhaps another world where there is no sun and clouds, one where beauty is different compared to our own. I imagine that they look through my eyes just for a few moments, and it makes me look up.

Away from the screen, from books and art and other projects. It makes me look to the the sky, trees and family. Because if someone is looking through my eyes who search for beauty, I should show them. Because this world and some of the people in it, through all the pain and hellfire, are worth looking at.

Maybe I’m a little nuts, maybe I spend too much time looking down instead of around, but I like doing this. Just a moment or two everyday to take in the beauty around me and appreciate life in all its insanity.
