Do you like psychological horror by any chance?

YES, probably my favorites type of horror, as I'm writing this, I literally just watched one that just works on the premise of parasocial relations and stalkers. It literally took my sleepiness away lmao 💀 (the paranoia is real) I love those games despite them hitting me hard, you don't have to create super scary monsters, use cheap jumpscares etc. People are probably more familiar with stuff like the backrooms, liminal spaces are the big thing nowadays (can't blame them).

What’s ur favorite type of horror?

Probably mascot horror bc of childhood, or physiological horror

Jshajajsnamaj 😭 @doyoureallyneedme

I wanted to render this better but my head hurts

[shaibonbon]

Btw, the person she is talking to in this silly dialogue is meant to be her best friend (Yes it does have a purpose)

She will very likely be my next new oc I'm going to draw. She will be a fox girl

This month marks 1 year since I first drew my reference sheet of Bonbon, SO I'M HAPPY TO SHOW Y'ALL THE NEW ONE I MADE!! We got the full body ref on her normal outfit, 4 different outfits for her, the furry version, the witch alt, an actual attempt of a description about Bonbon!! :]

So 1 week ago, I noticed my giant music playlist was about to hit 2k musics (it was at 1998), so I decided after years, it was finally time to clean it up a little Silly me thinking I could erase like 1k musics in 1 or 2 days, so far I managed to reduce it by 500 songs but im stil lonly half way through it 💀💀

Old pheobe??? She wasn't a cat the whole time??? 𓏗𓏗

Looooong before I posted here pheobe wasn't known as Phoebe yet, mainly her nickname, rock and rock was a deer

Look at her, so cute and sweet

She had freckles everywhere and had horns growing in and obviously some hooves

Is it narcissistic to think your oc is the cutest?? It's probably because I know all her lore so I just feel for her more 🐜

These were the other possible choices before I ultimately chose cat...by asking my sister which one was better-

(probably shouldn't have done it that way but whatever-)

Now she is cat!?

A toasted marshmallow cat with strange abilities

Oh right her mom, I don't remember if I posted this, but her mom is strong...and ditched pheobe

I erm didn't draw her body right so she got them chicken arms and drumsticks for legs, usually it's the opposite isn't it? ʱªʱªʱª(˃̣̣̥˂̣̣̥)

:0

Saw a random character with this hairstyle and thought it'd really fit Penny... I may also make a valentine's day special for the series?

(Reblogs and comments are very appreciated!!!)

[shaibonbon]

With the bonbon sheet done I should probably answer the asks that have been gathering dust since December 💀 shouldn't I?

Show, don’t tell

"Show, don’t tell" means letting readers experience a story through actions, senses, and dialogue instead of outright explaining things. Here are some practical tips to achieve that:

1. Use Sensory Details

Tell: "The room was cold."

Show: "Her breath puffed in faint clouds, and she shivered as frost clung to the edges of the window."

Tell: "He was scared."

Show: "His hands trembled, and his heart thudded so loudly he was sure they could hear it too."

2. Focus on Actions

Tell: "She was angry."

Show: "She slammed the mug onto the counter, coffee sloshing over the rim as her jaw clenched."

Tell: "He was exhausted."

Show: "He stumbled through the door, collapsing onto the couch without even bothering to remove his shoes."

3. Use Dialogue

What characters say and how they say it can reveal their emotions, intentions, or traits.

Tell: "She was worried about the storm."

Show: "Do you think it'll reach us?" she asked, her voice tight, her fingers twisting the hem of her shirt.

4. Show Internal Conflict Through Thoughts or Reactions

Tell: "He was jealous of his friend."

Show: "As his friend held up the trophy, he forced a smile, swallowing the bitter lump rising in his throat."

5. Describe the Environment to Reflect Mood

Use the setting to mirror or hint at emotions or themes.

Tell: "The town was eerie."

Show: "Empty streets stretched into the mist, and the only sound was the faint creak of a weathered sign swinging in the wind."

6. Let Readers Infer Through Context

Give enough clues for the reader to piece things together without spelling it out.

Tell: "The man was a thief."

Show: "He moved through the crowd, fingers brushing pockets, his hand darting away with a glint of gold."

7. Use Subtext in Interactions

What’s left unsaid can reveal as much as what’s spoken.

Tell: "They were uncomfortable around each other."

Show: "He avoided her eyes, pretending to study the painting on the wall. She smoothed her dress for the third time, her fingers fumbling with the hem."

8. Compare to Relatable Experiences

Use metaphors, similes, or comparisons to make an emotion or situation vivid.

Tell: "The mountain was huge."

Show: "The mountain loomed above them, its peak disappearing into the clouds, as if it pierced the heavens."

Practice Example:

Tell: "The village had been destroyed by the fire."

Show: "Charred beams jutted from the rubble like broken ribs, the acrid smell of ash lingering in the air. A child's shoe lay half-buried in the soot, its leather curled from the heat."

Traditional doodle dump because I have nothing else to post atm (rest under the cut bc I just really like this one)

If there's something uni does for me is resurrect my love for traditional art so there's at at the very least lmao

[shaibonbon]

Art from what I call the dark ages, well actually trying to pick up the ashes from the dark ages to make them a better thing (didn't work 😔)

These two are..old ocs who I do not like talking about or even showing becauuuussssee becaaaaause because uhm little traumatizing but maybe one day....when I feel.......not so traumatized.........𖠋

Thought I'd share recent sketches (lmao three years old) to open up a little maybe even talk about my old ocs and reasons why I don't show them anymore, I consider this puffpastry lore

Okay this last one's unrelated, I was just grumpy my drawings weren't turning out as I wanted them to ☠️
