Do you have more of silly Hyde and Jekyll being chill with eachother? 👁👁

Here's a few more scenarios I came up with! They give me sibling energy lol

Jekyll is deciding what to wear. Hyde suggests wearing green and the two argue on why Jekyll would look bad in green.

"I don't look good in green."

"I know you don't, that's why you should wear it."

"I hate you."

"I know."

Jekyll having a dumbass moment and asking Hyde a stupid question cause he doesn't want to seem like a dumbass to anyone else and then the two have a conversation about the dumbass question neither of them know the answer to.

Hyde saying "Watch this." And then jumping around rooftops. Jekyll daring him to jump even further until Hyde ends up nearly falling.

Hyde getting into a bar fight and Jekyll encouraging him on.

Sometimes right before Hyde drinks the potion to turn back into Jekyll he's like "You know... What if I don't drink this and just stay as myself?" Jekyll tells him to shut up and calls him out on his bluff. The first time Hyde did that Jekyll genuinely freaked out and Hyde was like "You idiot I was just kidding I can't believe you fell for that."

I just kind of feel like these two would have at least been on somewhat good terms with each other before the beginning of the comic and some of this could have happened. But yeah. I'll probably think of more later!

Hola Cheeto! You seem like a good person to ask this:

I’m feeling like my writing is in a bit of a slump, like I’m saying things in the same way every time. Do you have any advice on how to spice up one’s writing?

:)

Hey! First off, I would like to offer an encouragement. A lot of times in the art world, they say getting into a slump means you're about to have a wonderful breakthrough/revelation. I believe that the same thing occurs in writing. So, don't worry. Just keep pushing, and you'll reach that breakthrough your subconscious is cooking up <3

Anyways, I do have a few words of advice, if you want to speed the process up :)

1. Read. A LOT

In general, I believe that input = output, when it comes to reading and writing. Not in an easy 1:1 way, but in the way that your style, your storylines, and your choices are influenced by authors you read. Thus, if you want to improve your writing, my number one piece of advice would be to read, and to target your reading. If you're struggling with vocabulary, read some poetry. If you're struggling with original plotlines and emotional turns, read outside of your regular genre in order to get yourself some more perspective. Bing some fics that capture the feeling you're going for, and figure out not only what they do right, but how. Heck, read a fic that makes the same mistake as you do, see if you can figure out where they went wrong and how you'd fix the mistake in your own work. We're all learning together, and it's a great process <3

2. Identify and analyze the problem in your own work

Reread one of your pieces that doesn't jive with you, and not only identify where it doesn't work, but justify why it doesn't work with evidence. If your words are repetitive, highlight them and perhaps make yourself a list of your crutch words. If your action isn't strong enough, figure out which verbs you can spice up and how you can streamline your cause/effect to get the most punch out of your sentences. If your scenarios are repetitive across your writing, you can note that too, if it bothers you. If you can't figure what's wrong---instead, mark the places that you DO like, and by process of elimination you can probably figure it out. Next, as in the step before, brainstorm how to fix it. Search up some synonyms to your crutch words. Read some professional author's advice on how to reorder your fight scenes. Search up tropes that you may not have used before, etc.

However, we are our own worst critics when it comes to self-evaluation, and paying attention while you read and taking notes can feel like a high school English class and can be rather unenjoyable. Additionally, insecurity can make us see mistakes where there are none. So, here's my final piece of advice.

3. Beta Read (And if you can, swap beta read)

This is the best of both worlds, in my opinion, and the one that has improved my writing the most. First, you get your eyes on another's work, and you're literally tasked to pick out the things that you don't like and to say why, which gives you more experience to do so in your own work and perhaps even lets you solve a few problems in your own work before they even crop up. Additionally, you now don't have to go through the horrible slog of evaluating your own work (although, you probably shouldn't give it to the other person until it's pretty postable (@needfantasticstories I'm so sorry I'm so sorry about Ch 24 Skip I'm sorry about the convolutedness of Arc 3 please---)). You can ask THEM to figure out what's wrong where, and, if they're open to it, you can brainstorm together how to fix it, which is so much more fun than doing it alone. Heck, if you have a good idea what's wrong, you can set them after it specifically. And obviously, you don't have to take a beta's advice if you don't think it fits (phrases that belong on wattpad) but it's a good way to get your brain chugging on how you should fix it.

Anyways, there's my little rant. If you're already doing all of the above---my advice would be to just keep pushing, friend. As I said before, I've heard that in the art world, a slump means you're about to have a breakthrough. It's not that your work has gotten worse, it's just that your taste has changed and gotten better---now, your skill just has to catch up to that new level. You'll do great things, whatever it is that you're cooking up. I know that you've got this.

In your Myosotis headcanon, where's Es in all of this?

Ooh, so for now, I’ve been picturing the happiest option: they’re an ordinary child, placed back in their home with family and friends, given the same type of memory-wipe. Milgram needed an unbiased party for their experiment, so they grabbed a random child and made a blank slate themselves. There’s also the slightly sadder option that Es’ amnesia occurred pre-Milgram, in which they’d wake up in a hospital after some kind of accident, still without a family/past, but at least they’re safe. Then there’s the much sadder option that Es is put on trial after the prisoners, and is found guilty – no matter where they started, they don’t make it out of Milgram.

There’s also a bittersweet theory – I’ve always liked theories that Es didn’t begin human. They’re a manifestation of us, or the victims, the prisoners, a brand new construct, etc. If this were the case, I can see Milgram returning them to whatever peaceful state they began as. If they were made up of other people, they’d have some kind of closure/revelation, and they would be much more at peace when they disappear (compared to an actual death as a human.) 

Regardless, I think the prisoners have very mixed emotions on them once they remember everything. Some would be angry once they saw which prisoners were executed. Some would recognize they were just a kid and feel sorry they had to go through all that. Some would be plain curious about who they are in the outside world. I think searching up a minor with only a nickname and vague physical description would prove to be very difficult, but I can still see them succeeding after enough time, or with a meeting-coincidence like Yuno and Fuuta’s.

Ooo okay for the asks, how about ✒️ and 🎵 and 🎭 ? (you can answer all of them or pick n choose!!)

✒️you are hired to write/draw a new bttf comic, and it can be about whatever you want. what in the bttf universe would you want to expand on?

funny you ask this one bc technically it's already happening hahaha. ive got many drawing ideas and they're quite lengthy is what im sayin

hmmm this is hard. bc there's like so many things i'd like to see! life-threatening adventure stuff, everyday slice of life stuff.... probably something post-canon tho. i think it would be cute to just have doc and marty visit different time periods and get into trouble! so like. sort of the cartoon but if it was actually good.

🎵if you have listened to the musical soundtrack, which song is your favorite and why?

ive really only listened to it front to back once so far (soon to change) and it takes a couple listens for songs to jump out at me when it comes to these things (ex: i used to get stuck looping candy store from heathers until i realized actually the whole entire musical is also a bop haha) but wherever we're going is like. the cutest song ever. the opening number is also pretty catchy, i remember getting jumpscared by the actual theme song as a motif in there! and hello, is anybody home is also really good. bro is going through it </3. honestly might just make a whole separate post to yap about the musical

🎭what bttf cosplay do you want to own?

[doc brown voice] MARTY. MARTYYY. it's simply a classic im sayin. would also really like a doc fit tho. his hawaiian shirt swag is unmatched i fear

[lazorbeanz]

15, 21, and 25?

15. Comfort food?

Sushi :3

21. Tea, Coffee, or hot cocoa?

Tea. Never had coffee before. Wish I could say hot cocoa but my digestive system hates me

25. If your soul was a color, what would it be?

I think it would vary between orange and grey (This did not take me like 10 minutes to figure out-)

[redo-rewind-if]

The first thing I said reading this is

"fuck my life please don't try to Romance the dude that killed you.."

Also me: I'm probably gonna romance the dude that killed me... 😬

Is romancing the guy paid to kill you a good idea? Of course not.

Is there a solid chance your attempts to get closer to him blow up in your face? Absolutely!

But really, August just wants to manipulate manwhore manslaughter his way into your heart. Is that so wrong? 😔

In Boruto, Sasuke only has 1 arm. So you can expect that Naruto and Kakashi make puns out of it while Sakura does it accidently.

Remember how I said as far as Naruto's concerned, Sasuke's the harmless one and Sakura's the actual threat?

Well, when eventually the kids all badger their parents for stories and ask if Sasuke looked/was just as "scary" when he was little, Naruto immediately goes "Nah, just look at him. He's 'armless." He didn't even think, it just came out so naturally that Naruto himself was shocked by it, and Sasuke just stared at him with his jaw hanging like Bro did you just go there?! and Naruto just looks at Sasuke's shock, and looks at Sakura, and then looks at Kakashi. The kids are all silent.

Then the old Team 7 (minus Sasuke) fall to pieces laughing to death and Sasuke's like "oh ha ha very funny guys absolutely hilarious"

After that, the next time Sakura needed a favour from Sasuke she went, fully calmly, "Hey, can you spare me a hand-"

It was impossible to tell whether Sasuke or Sarada choked more.

Sarada later asked Sasuke for help with something going "Dad, can you give me a hand-" and then. Just FROZE. That was the most awkward five minutes ever for both of them. Sakura was laughing for the next hour.

The jokes haven't stopped since.

AAUUGGH I just read TLLR and your vampire fics and I honestly need more :p I don't wanna be pushy, but when can we expect more writing?

AAHH THANKS SO MUCH!! i’m glad you like my writing :D

you can expect AT LEAST the next two tllr chapters before the end of october since chapter 21 takes place during halloween so i really wanna get it posted on halloween! i’ve been pretty much writing a whole bunch of stuff simultaneously, the next like 7 chapters of tllr, a bunch of brc, and a bunch of tllr aus. eventually i’ll get motivation to finish them (i’ve also been super busy with college and my new job) but for now, FOR CERTAIN, tllr chapters 20 and 21 will be finished and posted before or on halloween so yay :3 i’m so excited

[spinnysocks]

ok but like. what would the skinks even do after the events of season 2/3?

ok ok ok SO

the outlands reforms when jasiri becomes leader, and she slowly reforms all of the inhabitants/scar's army. though the skinks are one of the last groups since, you know, they're sneaky and they don't really care that much. jasiri eventually convinces shupavu to remain in the outlands as there's plenty of room for them to stay. along with the rest of the outlanders, the skinks gradually become better animals. though still with their devious personalities, they improve and have less of an evil drive, eventually letting go of ushari's death. he was the only animal who gave a shit about them, until jasiri, but that doesn't mean they're immediately gonna drop everything to reform for her. still, she does hold a vigil for ushari and that earns their respect for her. they still enjoy sneaking and spying, it's what they're good at after all, so over time they become jasiri's unofficial spies! though this time they're spying for "good". there's not a lot of drama or action going on anymore, so they tell jasiri how everybody's doing :) and by doing so they learn to be more compassionate

for example, @devilsrecreation and i thought of this scene where the skinks see janja all sad and they ask him what's up. they never really got over the mutual hatred, until this moment where they show they care, even if it's in a small way of looking out for him and everyone else in the outlands, so ya :]

TLDR; they remain spies but eventually, slowly, reform and help jasiri check on the rest of the outlanders
