A couple of writer ones:
🏜️🔪🦴
🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
Oooooh. Obviously, I appreciate all comments. But I think my favorites are the ones where the reader clearly thought about what I wrote? Like they saw, and comment on, the nuance or the hidden clues. Given a lot of my writing is hella angsty, comments that along the lines of "...you know what? I get it" do my soul good.
🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
Hmm. Oh! I forgot about this one for the last ask. I definitely went into a deep dive about alcohol when I wrote from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed. While I knew a bit about wine and prohibition-era goings-on, I still did a lot of research about Malbec and various cocktails.
🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?
This is a hard one. Obviously, I'm a fan of HP book canon. And I love working around it while staying true to that material. But. I guess I'll have to go with music? Which is fairly obvious as well, given the number of fic playlists I have, but it's the truest answer, I think. I'll be driving down the road or sitting at work, and I'll hear a song and it'll just hit me. Lyrics or vibe or beat or whatever. I remember the moment I came up with the idea for Old Fashioned. I was on my way home from the grocery store, listening to girls girls girls by FLETCHER, and the lyric "I kissed a girl, and I liked it, sipped her like an Old Fashioned" just hit me like a ton of bricks. Or how Boyfriend by Dove Cameron sparked Sonnets & Submission. Or the way Miss Nectarine by Ashnikko is calling to me for an upcoming fic (that I haven't started yet.) Anyway. There we are. It's music. I'll shut up now. 💀
Writers Truth or Dare Game! Ask me things!

never change, man !
#phantom of the paradise#potp#swan potp#nightmaretheater#65 layers and about 24 hours . Eeeyyuppp#Look into my beautiful mind boy#Its a bit unusual to what i usually draw#but i had to push a specific look for this piece#hopefully you all are picking up on the corperate look . the advertisment look#Sneeze. Anyways my point is industry destroys creative people. This includes swan#I feel like phrases like these ; how he was put on a pedistal…. it lead him to be Like That#as awful as he is he desperately needed help#it might seem like vanity on the surface#but i think its… more than that#long story short: we need to destroy the beauty industry. the skincare industry. the anti-aging industry#It ruined his psyche forever and he cant let go of the ideal version of himself he will never truly be again#i dont think he can at this point. hes in too deep and hes suffering for it no matter how much he feels hes fixed his problems#he cant accept a version of himself that isnt that perfect young man. because he never confronted his problems. he just ran away#anyways . Hi swath *punches him**kicks him*#i dont care if nobody gets me lalalalla my truths and headcanons are awesome forever and i live in my own reality lallaallal#sorry i think im gonna be posting about swan alot for a few months hes making me sick#i wass gonna post this earlier but my internet was real bad#*lays down in my pile of pillows* eat up boys. haha#sidenote: drawing white blond people is horrifiying. Boy your skin and hair are the same color. Introduce some contrast to yourself. Please#adding on: its inportant to note this focuses on him looking st himself in the mirror alot on purpouse#to remind himself what he ‘’’’really’’’’ looks like#the 4 middle pannels all represent that too . u have to be in my brain ri get this#sorry for unleashijg another swan essay in my tags. will happen again lol

Back in winter 2022 I started working on a comic of one of my favorite nsfw oneshots, Practical Demonstration, made like five pages, and then promptly dropped it cause I was still in the midst of Art Block From Hell, among other reasons
but the fic series recently got an update and I read it on a flight last week, which has renewed the brainworms :)
The comic's FAR from finished (I've thumbnailed the entire thing and it comes out to twenty-eight pages, while I have thirteen of those pages in varying stages of completion) but I've been having a lot of fun working on it and forcing myself to try and learn new things (backgrounds/environments, in this case) in the pursuit of Harvey Smut LOL
I thought I'd post some WIP shit here, in case ADHD gets my ass and I end up dropping it again 😭 pray for me
#stardew valley#sdv harvey#stardew harvey#stardew farmer#my art#description in alt text#my favorite panel so far is shojo harvey lol :)#I started this so long ago now that my style has noticeably changed hdhrhhrh#I might end up going back and redrawing some aspects of the earlier pages#tbh I've also been doing this to get better at comics bc I want!! to make my original one!!! AT SOME POINT!!!!!!#legit tho this has been some of the most fun I've had drawing in soooo long#even despite me feeling like I'm juggling ten bars of slippery soap every time I draw backgrounds lmao#it's still been fun#now I just have to figure out where the fuck I can post this if/when I finish it since it's. yknow. uh#but that's a problem for Future Me

last year i found a wii at goodwill for 25 dollars and it came with everything except a wiimote but it was in such good condition i was like hell yeah ill take it how hard can it be to find a wiimote. the answer is it's nearly impossible to find them at thrift stores now so i've spent like 8 months looking for ones in thrift stores but there wasn't a single one and then online but i just couldn't bring myself to spend 30 dollars on one single wiimote so i waited so. patiently. and then 2 weeks ago i finally found one at goodwill for 9 dollars but it was absolutely disgusting and the battery cover was missing and the compartment was all corroded so i put it back and regretted it the whole week but then this last weekend i went to savers and there was an absolutely perfect wiimote just sitting there with no corrosion and a jacket and the wrist strap and motion plus and the nunchuck was there too and i got it all for 10 dollars so the moral of the story is that sometimes things seem right for you in the moment but you have to recognize that they aren't and leave them behind so the things that are meant for you will in fact find you when the time is right. peace and love <3
#for real though im so happy i cant even lie like i regretted selling my wii soooooo much but anyway im back baby <3#im disinfecting everything rn bc i have a germ problem but once it it's done.....i am SO back#when i first got it i didnt have the remote right so i couldnt plug it in and make sure that it worked but i did just plug it into an outle#to make sure it ran and it did and wii sports resort popped out of the drive so thats fun bc i didnt have that one#and anyway i might cry when i hear the menu sound ngl ngl.#but the city i live in is like an overgrown retirement home and so the goodwill is full of old people things and this wii had stickers#like explaining which cord was which so i just know it was a wii that they bought for like grandmas house and only played it when they were#over there so anyway cant wait to see what's on there and if the news channel and weather channel are still on the homepage even though#i dont think they work anymore lol#also shoutout to the type a kid who kept their wiimote in such perfect condition that i wanted to cry when i saw it sitting on the shelf#ty <3

Listen, I love Fiddlestan as much as the next guy, but where did we start getting the idea Ford was cold and dismissive towards Fidds during their time working on the portal???
I could totally be wrong because I haven't read every single GF related thing (hell, my journals aren't decoded because I'm a slacker), but like??? The first time he saw him, he bought him his favorite snacks *and* a whole ass banjo and said he'd make it his mission that Fiddleford would be comfortable in his home.
They go adventuring together and talk about things like fashion trends and the future and go stargazing.
Ford is *so* happy when Fiddleford returns that he hugs him immediately. Abd then he feels bad that Fiddleford feels bad about his failing marriage that he throws him a holiday party even though he doesn't celebrate and hates the holidays honestly. And he put on Fiddlefords favorite song (which he despises and honestly? ME TOO FORD. I HAVE BEEF WITH THAT SONG) and drank seemingly spiked eggnog with him despite not usually liking to drink. So that he could make Fiddleford feel better.
He also just openly adores everything Fiddleford does. Maybe it's only in his journals. You could argue he doesn't say it out loud but, like, he exclusively describes him as impressive all of the time-
And I get where it's coming from in like a "oh he's a workaholic who has the pressure of Bill breathing down his neck that he has to be working on the portal 24/7." And like yeah, but in the pages he's a workaholic he's a workaholic practically begging Fiddleford to stay up with him because he loves working along side him. Fiddleford and him work *together.*
Like the page where they're sorta fighting with each other because Ford wants to work more its not "leave me alone Fiddleford, I have to do this" it's "hey! How come you won't stay up with me! Ugh this is so unfair that you're going to bed even though you know I plan to continue working for another hour."
I'm just saying if Fiddleford wanted to cuddle, I imagine Ford's response would be "Oh! Awesome, I love spending time with him 🥰🥰🥰" but he'd just end up using Fidds' back as a table for his studies. Or they'd do that thing where one of them is working on a desk and they sit on one chair in each other's arms.
And, while we're here, realistically? Emotionally stunted, slapped by more women than He's dated, "I can't cry in front of people, and the only thing I'm good for is my fists." Stanley Pines??? He's not cuddling shit. He's got that toxic masculinity ingrained into him. It doesn't matter how incredibly touch starved he is, cuddling is too emotionally intimate and "girly" for him. Honestly if Fiddleford tried to cuddle him he'd probably throw him in a headlock because he's also been on the streets for years now with people constantly trying to attack him.
And I'm not saying this to diss on Fiddlestan. Again, I *like* Fiddlestan! But when I read "Ford could never appreciate him like Stan could" I don't understand it.
They so clearly bonded well together, and if Ford truly was being an asshole (or not an asshole, but just generally unpleasant even when he wasn't possessed) the whole time, I doubt Fiddleford would've stayed. Nostalgia and physical attraction can only get you so far, and Fidds is already facing the horrors in Gravity Falls, Stanford has to be a hell of an amazing person to make someone want to stay. Like, he's a grown adult. Sure he really wanted to impress Ford and allotted himself to be "the tech guy to Ford's smarts" but if he wanted to leave, he could've. And there didn't seem to much keeping him there. Especially when he was having doubts on the portal.
#gravity falls#the book of bill#stanford pines#ford pines#fiddleford mcgucket#stanley pines#stan pines#fiddauthor#ford^2#ford squared#fiddlestan#why do we have to squash one ship to prop another up?#My take might be biased though#because as much as i love the cutesy fiddlestan posts#i gravitate towards the 'fucked up' fiddlestan where they're toxic and looking for distractions#where Fiddleford never recognizes Stan as his own person and rather deludes himself that its ford until he actually looses his mind#and like hes gotta like Ford to do that lol#dont ask why i gravitate towards toxicity#i think i just like exploring human flaws in character because im sick of fandoms glossing over them#and im slowly getting more and more extreme with the flaws i guess#but like cmonnnnn the inherent problems in relationships are what make them interesting right?

I had to make something about it all my doodles are secretly just a way to smuggle unrelated headcanons out lol#Pipes bursting in Snowdin probably would be a problem for at least like kitchen sinks :0 Need reinforced cold-proof pipes haha#I haven't gotten to Hotland in my current playthrough but there was also the water cooler wasn't there!#Only Waterfall convenient to take showers in lol#ANYway so distractable lol#Gaster doesn't feel even a little bad asking favours lol casually waves it away as ''It needs to be done so it's fine''#Aren't you worried about being an inconvenience! No he's not lol#And obviously Alphys doesn't mind hehe ♪#Alphys is the best because basically no matter where you drop it in the timeline she's always going to be awkward and thirsty lol#They've known each other for a few months?

sometimes people negatively criticizing DR will say things like "it must be bad writing otherwise it doesn't make sense why the ninja act differently in [DR situation] than they did in [MOS situation]" with no further justification for why that would be the case and it's like. my brother in spinjitzu the Situations are Different
#the core problem is really people believing good characterization is having a character act exactly the same in all situations#but in truth it's rare to see someone doggedly adhere to one way of going about things regardless of what's happening around them#i think this is worst when people want to believe the ninja have always cared more about each other than they have cared about their jobs#i get why you might adopt this belief. there are times when the ninja certainly have prioritized love for each other over saving the world#but much more often. much more FREQUENTLY. they have disregarded themselves for the sake of the world#so really no it is not that weird for the ninja NOW to be prioritizing the tournie over finding jay or finding arin's parents#just as it wasn't weird or ooc for kai to be hesitant to give up their powers in s9 for lloyd's sake#which was a thing people complained about too lol but i digress#dr spoilers#drs2 spoilers#Just for the tags tho lol

what do you think about zora design? about past and current designs? how would you change it? actually!!! what are the zora (and other races) like in your sword of fate au???
got distracted by the second question. look at my little guys:
these are some of the current (working) designs!! from left to right it's sheikah, zora, hylian, goron, and gerudo! these aren't necessarily the average builds/designs for each race but they're the most important character from each race lol. sword of fate takes place really early-on in the timeline, so the culture and separation of races is still kind of loose especially among the humanoid races. the current generation of zora is basically the first generation to call themselves zora and attempt to establish a government or hold any authority alongside the other races of hyrule, and because they're kind of a young race i imagine they're less fishy and more invertebrate-like in this stage, hence my jellyfish princess! (her dad is a giant squid lol.) the sheikah are descendants of the original surface humans, whereas the hylians and gerudo are two seperate sects that both originally came from skyloft. the hylians built a few villages which each have their own distinct vibe while the gerudo took a more nomadic approach and roam the desert in small independently governed groups. The gorons are the most well-established race at this point, having been on the surface a lot longer than basically everyone else, and so they have a much stronger culture and shared identity than a lot of the other races that are still kind of getting their footing.
#no rito because sof is like 200-300 years at most after sksw and the idea of bird people existing in such close proximity to horse birds#weirds me out ngl. i think some of the hylians in skyloft village (not actually in the sky but built way up in the mountains to mimic it)#might actually still ride loftwings. havent decided yet. anyway#the sheikah and hylian villages recognize the authority of & are (loosely) governed by the hyrulian royal family#the gorons & zora recognize the royals as a foreign governing body but don't submit to them--they have their own governments#and the gerudo just kind of have a mutual 'you don't fuck with me i dont fuck with you' agreement with the hyrulian government lol#& then of course their are some fringe sects like the one ganon comes from. who are also basically ignored until they become a problem#asks#loz: sword of fate#< wow it's been a while since i used that tag lmfao#um anyway. i can do a seperate post abt canon zora designs if anyone wants it ig lmfao

i've been playing veilguard lately and i have to say the dialogue in this game is some of the most frustrating i think i've ever seen in a choice RPG like this. Rook is locked as a friendlier character, which isn't a problem, but this lock out has resulted in a lot of the dialogue lacking in variation.
i chose the "Block it out" option here only for my Rook to say "Block it out. You're safe" but "You're safe" was already its own separate option-- this isn't how you write dialogue choices. again, i don't have an issue with Rook being friendly, but you shouldn't railroad players into certain dialogue.
if they wanted "You're safe" to be the common/reconvening dialogue, then it shouldn't have been made a choice at all. the wheel could have been something like this:
nice: "I'm right here with you."
aggressive: "Block it out."
panicked/confused: "Shit. Talk to me. Please."
-> all reconvene at "You're safe."
and this is a repeated problem. i've favored the aggressive options this entire time (which aren't really aggressive to begin with) but Rook will almost always still wind up saying the nice option instead. another example is early on:
again i chose the more aggressive "Maybe you should have" choice only for Rook to say something along the lines of "Maybe you should have [...] But we have to support each other now." (it's been a minute since i played this part so it may not be exactly word for word but i remember even then at the start of the game being annoyed that she still worked her way back around to saying option 1)
it's not that Rook is friendly, it's that she's literally saying dialogue options that i did not pick. it's fine for there to be a common dialogue repeated across choices/flavor texts, but not when it's the literal choice text itself. it feels like i'm being railroaded with every dialogue.
#yes ive been posting about this on my private blog if you've seen my posts no you havent#but i wanted to post this one here too because i think it's a really (unfortunately) bad example of how to do choice dialogue#it's a shame because i've never had this problem with bioware games before#and i get that rook is a Nice Guy. that's fine. but i do not want her saying dialogue options that i did Not pick#also i have so much to say about taash but that's another post. i might just reblog the post i already made#datv spoilers#sorry the screenshots have dialogue wheels but they're vague#datv critical#<- just in case i dont want people to get mad at me lol. sorry the way i enjoy DA is by ripping it apart<3

Happy ten years to transcendence au and almost as long to Brian the organ duck! How time flies...
I haven't drawn anything for this au in ages but I did remake the 8tracks playlists on Spotify if anyone uses that. Before Brian shows up, imagine Dipper and Mabel are discussing songs to add to the answering machine playlist (which. that's. Did I mean hold music all this time? lol)
#transcendence au#carliedraws#carliedrawstau#traditional#sketchbook#i stopped being a mod like nooot even a year in because. life. but i have always held affection for the au since#might take a spin through the blog to see what happened on there since i left#yall are so creative#maybe ill do an actual entry for the raffle contest thingy? or is that weird cause i used to mod LOL#but for now this because i was feeling nostalgic#audio#did i have a playlist tag#organ duck#body horror w#the thing I can't believe about this character#is that the initial idea for him came from someone making fun of how i said oregon ducks in a stream#i should stream again someday#i dont do digital much these days because of eye problems but i can do it in limited stretches#(how ELSE is one meant to say oregon ducks. no one i know around here says ore-uh-gone)#(i live in non-OR part of the PNW tho and my dad is from OH so. who knows lol)

Loz fandom stop being angsty and give the daydreaming kids on big fun adventures with a cool glowing sword some actual whimsy and joy challenge
#It's like the happy media equals angsty fandom and vice versa but like. Video game series about the dreams and adventures of childhood with#A fandom full of angst and abandonment and depression and smut#It's why I don't really stay in the loz fandom long each time I circle back around#There's so much potential for good things and comfort and snuggly warmth and lightheartedness.#Like yeah messed up things happen in front of and to link but kids are resilient beasts and most importantly they fix it#He's literally wearing the Peter pan hat to invoke that sort of eternal wonder that's the DESIGN of the hat that's why it's so identifiable#Fanart captures it a lot.

Oh lu fics are just full of miscommunication and resentment and sour interactions and pain and simmering anger#I prefer to read trusted authors because it's so wearing but the problem is you have to go out and find them lol#It's a very controversial belief of mine that every link enjoyed their adventure even if it was scary or sad and would not be averse to#Another. Oh the circumstances they might hate. But link has never been one to refuse the call#That's the POINT they stepped up when the adults couldn't it's their COURAGE that they'd be fastest to volunteer.#Unrelated but post game botk is adhd central you can do literally whatever you want and whatever pace and you just drift around getting#Distracted and teleporting all over and setting challenges and poking around every nook and cranny#Like botw I had over 300 koroks and 98% map completion.
