#(idk i just wanted to tag the main characters hehehe)

[vanisa-ray]

being a purple hyacinth and school bus graveyard fan at the same time is seeing the word "phantoms" and getting confused whether the context is about a bunch of hot reckless buffoons running around blowing shit up just to prove their point, or about creepy ass gangly creatures made of black goo that have a very charming smile 😌✨

[eddsworld-the-masquerade]

hi! i rlly like the concept and the art and all that- but i was a bit confused. idk if i missed something or if im blind- so if this has been asnwered elsewhere im really sorry- but will this be like. a game? or a fanfic? or something else? ik you said you're redoing it- and i really wanna follow the story but im just kinda confused kdjf

Linear (no choices/branching story) visual novel, with additional game mechanics like random events and RPG-style battles

You should check the pinned post

Since it has a demo game showcasing the concept as a whole (though battles are not included yet)

You should also check some of the tags on the navigation page, like "main story" and "info post".

Main story for now includes highlights from the game's script I'm writing but all major updates (like in-game chapter development or distribution; since most seemed to prefer chapter-by-chapter development akin to BATIM) will go there.

And info posts are, well, info posts. In the last one I talked about possible game mechanics I'd like to try and implement in renpy.

The story itself is a bit hard to follow rn I imagine, since I'm mostly sharing "heheh funneh" dialogue or particular character interaction; I don't want to spoil stuff too much. But I suppose I could give a better synopsis than the one up on the "About" page:

Tord comes to London to find help with his "special Gehenna stopping ancient vampire killing project". He's struggling, until he meets Edd, who then in exchange for a car ride introduces him to Matt. Matt agrees to help Tord's venture if he, in turn, helps Matt with his debt to the local Camarilla. The task at hand is to locate three items that could in some way shape or form represent "eternal power".

So for the most part it's three separate heists/fetch quests (each "starring" one of the guys - Edd, Tom, Tord; Matt is busy directing them and doing his own thing in the spare time. Though he gets his own bit of "fun" during the time he gets paired with Tord, on the second quest).

However there's also something developing in the background (like people going MIA) and at a certain point it intervenes into the heist plot and turns it into madoka-esque grand-scale thing...a bit hard to explain but, you'll see ^^

Hi my angel 😘😘 do you have any writing tips when it comes to plot and description and dialogue?

Becuz I have read so many of your works and each time I’m blown away with how much amazingness your writing has!! You’ve inspired me to write stories so I just figured I would ask you writings tips 🙂‍↕️ hope you have a amazing day lovey

aaa thank u sososo much?? i can't believe i've inspired u to write that's so cool... 💗🙈

i'm really not too good at writing or explaining but here's how i approach these things... i hope it's helpful!! 😗✌️

here is a resource that might help;

helpfulprofessor.com on writing skills and text types and tropes

and here is kerouac's advice to writers which i cling to.

plot ✨

i base a lot of things on real-life 👀 ...of course i turn it into fiction and i'm not writing autobiographical form on tumblr... lol.

i just mean some stories are inspired by real life experiences. personal experiences are very rich and the plot will shape nicely.

this year i've turned lots of experiences into stories, of course i totally romanticized them bc that's kinda what we writer's do ig since real-life is not poetic, it's just kind of a mess lol

also asking second opinions and sometimes even stranger's opinions can help clarify plot points that aren't adding up.

try to outline plots or they can become a messy web. you don't need to plan it out neatly, you just need some sort of guideline for yourself so that you don't go off the rails or forget what your purpose for writing is lol (i still do that sometimes bc i am extremely lazy and don't plan things very often bc... spontaneous writing is more fun)

description ✨

honestly just say it how it is bc descriptions that come from a true place will feel true if that makes sense??

lots of times i find myself deleting descriptions bc i worry that the reader is getting bored bc i can get pretty wordy. using too many adjectives is generally something i try to avoid unless it's working well — literary devices are worth learning about.

but if you feel like your descriptions are boring or too long-winded then i'd suggest employing alliteration or other literary devices (like metaphors) that produce rhythmic effects on readers. imo the beats of alliteration make it fun to read stuff word by word, i just rlly go to town on it bc i love it hehehe 🌷 anything with repetition really

keeping it short can be fun too. ik it's hard to find specific words but try talking to people or reading lots of different types of literature to get the juices flowing. sometimes a good conversation can spark my imagination because someone has used very specific words. i'd say reading classics is really good for helping vocabulary but also be wary of dated words lol.

dialogue ✨

you could read this or watch this

i've gotten into the habit of analyzing the way people speak whenever i'm talking to them, even if it's just brief conversations.

the reason this helps with writing dialogue is because you start to understand how conversations actually flow, how people actually respond — it can help to make dialogue between characters more fluid and realistic and then in turn this makes it more believable for the reader. i like to observe what vocal inflexions people use and try translate it for myself as a speech tag.

idk i just sort of go about life with the attitude of like "how do i describe that with words" kind of like exercising your drawing skills by drawing anything you see day-to-day.

also i just want to say that it's not necessary to be talkative and extroverted bc you can also just like... gather this stuff from tv shows and literature and other forms of media too. i just yap a lot irl so it's my main mode of analyzing speech and stuff.

smth i'm just recently learning to employ more often in dialogue is implying responses from other characters.

so like character A says something, they're currently speaking to character B, and instead of switching to character B and writing a whole new line break for new dialogue, i just kinda wedge in a reaction into character A's dialogue like;

Character A: "nice weather we're having, huh? yeah, i know. i also like penguins."

ok this is like goofy and nonsensical, but it's just an example. so from the above text, you can gather that character B likes penguins without even needing to write their dialogue "i like penguins."

it's kinda neat and adds more diversity.

anyways ✨

i would highly encourage anyone to spend time learning how form, structure and language are used together in a text (literary analysis skills) bc even tho text analysis may seem boring and hard to learn, it will help with your writing and then u can do cool stuff 🍰

[liliallowed]

BRO ok i was reading your tags and you mentioned crimson not having a DT soul, but a soul of Obsession, and i just giggled a bit at that and got excited hehehe.

i like seeing people play with concepts but EXPAND them yk??? like not being bound to them but using them to make you think

i have an au i’ve yet to share about (because it’s. so convoluted at this point and is being rewritten HEIDBDJ) but a big part of it has to do with soul traits and such, at least in regards to the humans right

like for example, one of the human characters has the trait of justice, meanwhile one of the antagonists (with relations to some of the mains) is Retribution.

Retribution is like…a corrupt justice. when you decide YOU define what is just, and you take that into your own hands, it becomes more about vengeance then what is right.

sans has karmatic abilities as well, which is sort of an in between…. fair vengeance, the vengeance isn’t for HIM, he’s moreso a vessel for what is fairly brought upon someone??

ANYWAYS IM RAMBLING, both the justice soul (and kinda sans actually) have to grapple with their similarities with said antagonist. several characters have to grapple with the positive traits they have and the negative or toxic paths those same traits could lead them down. patience turning to passivity. bravery to recklessness and pride, etc

ALL THAT TO SAY i was curious, do you see “obsession” as an evolution/ sub category/ branch OF a determination soul? the determination to push on towards this thing you are fixated on to an inhuman extent? the refusal to let go of this thing you are fixated on (which i find a cool concept because, undertale a message has a LOT to do with letting go…)

ANYWAYShope you don’t mind rambling in your inbox i just find ideas fun and want to hear yours if you’ll humor me HEE HOO

ramble away dear friend!

I love reading these ideas!

as for obsession, yeah it's more like an evolution of determination.

I think there was a post about moral traits being used in excess can corrupt into harmful behavior...

ambition => obsession was one of the given examples.

but well crimson started with determination.

it's like muddied water. its been left to rot away.

but the water NEEDS to move or it will fade away so it spirals around it's contained pool into a whirlpool.

(idk if that allegory made sense but yea)

crimson NEEDS to constantly push themself. Ben if there's nothing to gain. even if their story has already been told.

you are correct! crimson's issues is mainly the lack of closure. the inability to let go.

they TRIED severing the bonds so dear to them by killing everyone but that only made them want to stay to suffer with them instead.

trivia:

obsession has a stronger density than a normal DT soul.

like it can take on 4-5 other human souls (not 6 tho. that's beyond them)

so you'd have to absorb not one not two but six or seven human souls to over power this bich's DT.

obsession also allows them to [refuse] death once, every 24 hours without a reset. even if you take away their reset they won't die that easily.

obsession has a higher LV cap than determination. it maxes out at 50 and can absorb [self inflicted pain] to boost the number up. if there's no one left to kill there's still ways to increase that LV. and their soul is one tank of an endurant killing mechine.

a direct jab at their soul won't kill them.

cutting their head off won't kill them (instantly at least. if they use a healing item in a minute or so their vessel would glitch back to a normal form.)

they're a lot like a zombie minus the infection part that can spread and the slowness and dullness of a shambling corpse. they're fucking FAST.

obsession can allow puppeteering powers and psychological manipulation through [ACT] but crimson doesn't use it. they think it's cowardly and they want to do things "legit".

if there WAS a new foe out there though... they have many abilities they don't use on dust to face them.

[halfusek]

Imma be honest with you, before BATDR came out, you literally held this fandom together with bandaids and stick glue. 2019-2022 was basically the dry age of Bendy content

haha thanks i tried my best

i Do enjoy being in a fandom, i've always looked up to the danny phantom phandom a lot cause the vibes there are just fantastic, there's a lot of things going on, people have many interactions with each other, so i wanted to try to introduce that to the batim fandom and i'd like to think that i sorta did

i know that it is a popular opinion to not engage with a large portion of the fandom but instead just grab a few friends and sit in a corner with them but like

engaging with a bigger portion of the fandom every now and then can be SO fun and give people an opportunity to meet other people and idk

fandoms are communities of people just united by liking A Thing so it can be challenging to make a space for many people to get along but i dont recall any super serious only fandom related dramas in batim?? weirdos are in every fandom and you just blast their asses into oblivion with a block button

and there have been cases when i felt kinda bad for blocking someone because that meant i'd exclude them from something i wanted to think of as a fandom-wide event for everyone who would obey it's rules but that's where this outlook on curating your experience into a smaller circle is very much the way to go lol

wait what am i talking about

aha yea 2019-2022 everything fucking DIED here but i was having a blast drawing my comic and also a lot of people who were into the sides of batim i was into mainly (the human characters) stayed around more than everyone else and it was really chill, i've met a lot of people and made many friendships :)

as the fandom was getting smaller there was a noticable drop in the amount of notes batim related posts were getting which is a very big symptom of a fandom dying but i think at some point it sorta stabilized who stayed there after batdr was delayed and delayed

i reblog and tag more than an usual tumblr user (when im active cuz sometimes i can not reblog anything for months because im busy lol) and that didnt start without a reason, it sure is a habit now and i really enjoy doing it, letting people know what i think about their stuff and putting nice things on display for others to see

reblogs are not just crucial for singular artists but also for fandoms as a whole, thats how you keep that train rollin

though here is a sad thing that many many artists dont reblog a lot, or reblog to their sideblogs that arent followed by nearly as many people as their main blogs

and thats like understandable, im the weirdo who puts a whole mess of many posts on my main but i think thats also the most effective way to help other people get traction and i never see this mentioned when people complain that tumblr users dont reblog as much stuff as they like

its even kinda funny to me when people complain about their stuff not getting reblogged when they dont reblog others stuff themselves at all xD though there is a bit of cyanide in that thought heheh

on the other hand reblogging doesnt work on stuff that i could see from other people: the stuff i reblog i get from browsing the bendy and the ink machine tag sorted by new + sometimes when i bored i scroll through my dash and reblog some random things but i follow 2k people so i dont really see any individuals art specifically, just a collection of random posts that i am able to scroll through in a few minutes (and every minute theres a bunch of new posts posted/reblogged by those i follow)

and that can take a long time! if ive been busy for months then scrolling through a few months worth of stuff people around the world made for bendy is so bad even on a beefy computer that it just pushes tumblr to its limits and takes HOURS to reblog and tag for me, and then i might even hit the daily post limit and have to continue tomorrow

but i enjoy doing this, bendy is my fixation after all and i fucking love art and what people can create for this thing that i like i soooooo desire to see it all

and i try to reblog as much as possible, though i dont obviously reblog *everything* from the tag, sometimes i just give a like or i just dont like the thing cuz its not in my liking and thats it

but i did make it a thing that during ink demonth i reblog all entries for the event no matter what my opinion of them is just to give some of that Exposure TM because hey maybe some of my followers Will like it

i dont run a super duper popular blog but there is a bunch of yall there and i think me reblogging something in this fandom at least may give a litol boost to the notes on a post

and its always fun to see peoples reactions that dont expect me to reblog from them but then i do and they freak out a little, i think i love it on the same level as getting comments on my own art :) its super wholesome

man by writing this post im procrastinating on something but fdnjkfdfd

but anyway thank you!! and im glad you think so because i did try to accomplish that :D

[crepuscularqueens]

tysm for the tag @sambambucky <3 <3 <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

27

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

193,604

3. What fandoms do you write for?

marvel (mostly sambucky but i've played around with other pairings), the magicians (penntin, queliot, wickoff), ofmd, and one black sails fic (despite that being my main fandom i guess lmao, it's so hard to write for because i can't make it better. i just have to make it worse. and boy do i have plans to make it Worse.) (also i do have an rnm fic, almost forgot about that! i would love to write more i just need the inspiration and motivation to hit at the same time lmao)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

he kisses me softly to wake me up (by a wild amount, which i think was just luck of timing with that fandom blowing up overnight) flowers for the gentleman (first published sambucky fic. looking back on it it's like... cute but could be better. natasha is in it though) held by you (felled by you) (my fav of the ofmd fics i put up, personally) what you wanted (first of my tfatws series that accompanied the show. literally wrote each fic as the episodes came out, it was so fun and idk how tf i kept up with it) hear my name in your mouth and i'm done for (hahaha. yeah.)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i love responding to comments hehehe! bc i love getting responses when i comment on other author's fics idk it just feels so fun! and when you notice the same people commenting on your fics idk it's just. holding hands with all of you love you sm <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

omg uhhhh jinx i think mine also be a samsteve one lol. stuck in the bed where we lie bc i love writing angst but i usually resolve it? but they're my favorite tragedy forever.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

hmmm i guess after it all calms down? resolution of my tfatws series

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not on anything that's still up teehee <3

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

it's mainly what i write haha oops

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

crossover is when there are characters from two separate medias in one fic right? not like taking characters from one universe and putting them in the other? if it's the first then... no not anymore. no further questions.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of (i'm not like... overly concerned by the idea)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

someone once translated a teen wolf fic i wrote into russain

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

no, but i am open to the idea of collaborating like that (i've done events where i drew art to accompany a fic which was really fun and i miss that event a lot)

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

i am so so bad at picking favorites, but if you want to go by what i have the most fics and wips for it would be sambucky

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i want to finish shores begging for big moons so badly im so sorry to everyone because. it was so so fun to write! and i had this big grand plan and knew how it would all work out and then.... i hit a wall and now it's been years and i cry for her every day. i could save her! i could do it! but i also need to reread it bc i can't remember the details anymore lmao. it's a daunting task.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i think like... rhythm if that makes sense? like i get into a groove of this is what is happening, here are the beats, this is the action and this is the dialogue and it flows so nicely and has a good rhythm to it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

focusing. i get distracted soooo easily, what is that all about haha. ha.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i love seeing it in fic! i'm always scared to include it bc i don't want to mess anything up, so i usually have it from another character's POV and that they don't know what's being said. which is a cop out, i know. i should probably be better about looking into translations!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

harry potter (i know. there is no need to talk about it)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

how do i choose! tbh it's a tie between i bit the fruit and holy water. don't read into that.

absolute no pressure tags for @dr-lizortecho @unwholesome-gay @verdanthoney @nymhciv !

✨️author ask tag game✨️

✨️Feeling Extra today! Will choose to Focus on Crater City, but any future Author Tags shall be diverted to the next WIP in line✨️

Tagged here by @mariahwritesstuff! Much obliged :’)

Tagging these fine contestants: @doublegoblin @forthesanityofsome @lyralit @frostedlemonwriter @asterhaze @lostneedcoopcake @writernopal @an-theduckin @sabels-small-sphere

...

(1) What is the main lesson of your story (e.g. kindness, diversity, anti-war), and why did you choose it?

>> Free will is good 👍

>> Just because you can doesn't mean you should

>> Give life your own meaning

>> The dangers of being politically apathetic

I think these are self-explanatory! I think!

(2) What did you use as inspiration for your worldbuilding (like real-life cultures, animals, famous media, websites, etc.)?

Kind of expanded upon this a bit, oops

For the world-building, I'm inspired by things such as Fallout New Vegas, Night Vale, and real life. Music: tends to be a mixture of classic rock + alt + vapor wave + whatever I think is nice tossed in a dryer and pummeled to death.

For more world-building + story-telling/pacing, I am very much Inspired by these webtoons:

>> Solid State

>> The Prince of Southland

>> Lovebot

>> Electric Bones

When I tell you to go check these webtoons out, I mean Go Check Them Out because they're the reason I still have the app!

For characters, they are named/inspired by objects and it just kind of stuck until their names got rearranged. Everyone generally has a symbol/color assigned to them, idk it's probably synesthesia to some degree. But it helps me categorize things + it fits their vibes. To name a few:

>> Blair: heart, red

>> Elijah: star, yellow

>> Darcy: moon, cobalt

>> Melony: Venus flytrap, bright green

I could rant all day about their vibes and mood boards! But we only have so much attention span on this single post, yeah?

(3) What is your MC trying to achieve, and what are you, the writer, trying to achieve with them? Do you want to inspire others, teach forgiveness, help readers grow as a person?

Blair wants to prove to himself and others that he has worth and a purpose even though others/the government thinks otherwise.

Elijah wishes he could stop running from his problems and just ask for help, but that's kinda hard if [SPOILERS]. Yeah, so that's kind of a Huge bummer.

No one cares what Darcy wants. He's mean. (Any fanletters addressed to him that wind up in Frasier's pile get promptly thrown away.)

Aside from that, I've always wanted to inspire others through my work but kind of implicitly. Or like “oh have you seen that one story it's so wild” in an obscure way. Not really in a cult-following way, but like an urban legend or classic story kind of way. I would like to drop my story into the world and disappear without a trace, hehehe

(4) How many chapters is your story going to have?

42

(5) Is it fanfiction or original content? Where do you plan to post it?

Original content! Due to its Nature, I'm planning something Much Larger than a typical novel layout. Somewhere online... or somewhere else in a Metaphysical sense. Or implanted in everyone's heads as a distant memory of what could've been, hehehe

It all comes down to if I will ever be able to code as great as Elijah someday (we both hold ourselves to very high Standards, you know).

(6) When and why did you start writing?

I started writing this story July 27, 2022. Oh wait, that date has passed, it's now been a year!

But it's ok, I often forget my own birthday.

I started writing because I became fixated on the idea of just some chill guy in a hectic world then ran with it, and here I am a year later, still as obsessed with these hooligans as ever. I like the seemingly dumbass hero and intelligent villain trope, I suppose.

(7) Do you have any words of engagement for fellow writers of Writeblr? What other writers of Tumblr do you follow?

I tend to follow accounts that inspire me to write or become a better person in general. This can range from being a better writer to positivity to pushing myself to get up and be productive because lord knows I need some good ol peer pressure to jumpstart my brain.

The parting message:

Remember why you're writing. Keep your reasons somewhere you can see it, like a sticky note on your mirror. It can be a motivation/goal as simple as “because it's what Younger Me would have wanted to see.”

Also, Please organize your files/notebooks. Future You will be so thankful for that. Don't be like Blair and cover each page head to toe with multicolored pens, highlighters, and diagrams. Be more like Frasier, stay organized:

Blair has provided us with a Bonus Illustration for the readers whose attention has spanned thus far, Huzzah!✨️

Seeing people be disappointed with Disney's WISH and rewriting their own versions of it is giving me war flashbacks to when we Inuyasha fans were in the same boat with Yashahime and started our own rewrites to satisfy ourselves. Y'all remember that era? I wonder if anyone is still writing their rewrites....one of these days I really outta write that Daughter of Twisted Time fic...

Anyhoo I personally haven't seen WISH but I saw the concept arts for it and now I really wanna jump on the WISH Rewrite bandwagon. I even have a few of the characters somewhat rewritten already with the main conflict and moral of my hypothetical rewrite figured out. I even have the pencil sketch of Asha's redesign done (just gotta ink and color it)

Also I think my working title is A New Wish (hehehe, get it? Cuz it plays off that its rewrite, and a NEW version on WISH? OK, I'll stop now)

I don't know if I'd write fanfic for it, but maybe a few animatics? Idk, I've still got so many WIPS in FlipaClip....

Would you want to see my ideas for a WISH rewrite if I posted them? Let me know if you want me to tag you if/when I do post my WISH Rewrite stuff.

Mayoi in PriPara Outfits Part 3

This is the last suuuuper long post of me wondering what pripara outfits mayoi might wanna wear ! If you're somehow here without coming from part 1 or 2 (since again, i wont be tagging this....) here should be a link to part 1 and also part 2 (sorry again foosybit followers for triple posting)

Please congratulate mr placeholder for coming this far, he's really putting the best work out there im so thankful he's here with us. also there'll be more brands other than holic trick now (even if it's still the main brand) so i'll be naming the brand in all of them

Gaarmageddon Red Dia from Love Devi !! a card theme was present in an outfit i would die if i didnt draw it. no original masc version cuz it's literally a card wonderland theme so say hi to pathetic pushed over vermilion mayoi. also at this point i was admittedly getting quite pooped from all the drawing so unless i really wanted to see something i just didnt do it lol

Hello ninja association again, no brand for this one cuz it's actually from a merch line so idk if it even exists outside the merch line ?? Which. Lets slow down a bit lemme tell u my shock when i find out that not only is there boypara but theres a ninja idol boy with partially yellow hair ???!?!!?!???! shinobu come pick up ur little bro he's out here performing in a wrestling ring !!!!!! so of course i listen to all the grand total of 2 songs he has and try to find all the images i can of ushimitsu (name of the ninja boy) and find this silly merch line where he gets to work at the ninja monja (which i believe is established as a thing he actually does if the wiki trivia section is to be trusted cuz as i said im nowhere near learning about him thru the show or stage play or whatever)

what the hell look at this dam ninja i am literally nowhere near learning anything about him considering im not even at episode 100 yet meanwhile the episode featuring ushimitsu just barely came out recently on the pripara yt but hes so my fav and hes also the blue one in a duo that works at ninja monja which is just like dorothy west i love dorothy west i love dressing pafe someone any pripara enstars fans out here do u get me do u feel me do u understand that by me saying this u can already guess i like 2wink and souma do u understand how it all connects AAHHHRG i might explode if i keep talking so lemme stop here while i can

back to the drawing, shinobus having the time of his life spinning that omelette good 4 him and mayois been delegated to rice ball duty lol loser

Lady Pirate from Holic Trick !! say hi to origin of mr placeholder !!!! hiiiiii !!!! uve been working so hard how does it feel to be home u better cherish it cuz ur coming back later, luv u mr placeholder. but ya self explanatory why i chose this outfit

Gothic Lace from Holic Trick !! hes such a pretty boy thats all i have to say for this

Adult Jumper from Pretty Rhythm (the brand in pripara) !! such a sweet and simple coord i dont think it needs a second version :]

Aromat Card Aroma from Love Devi !! it looks like the original has tarot cards but a card's a card in my book so they got the symbols. honestly it's mostly just me vaguely tasking inspiration from the original to create my own outfit but whateva im near the end and im having fun and i really liked this one so woohoo !!!! also that dress length is supposed to go to the ankle, it's just scrunched up rn hehe

Moonlight Purple from Baby Monster !! Last one !!!! I think the pripara characters deserve to have bigger hats dam !!! I think this is a very pretty outfit hehehe he's bound to get little shorts like these some day (me hoping and praying) !!!!

not one that i did cuz im too exhausted from all the drawing but i thought u needed to see this and imagine ninja association, kitty kitty meow meow ninja mayoi is so real in my head

wahoo thanks for going thru the whole thing !!! I feel like u can reeaallly obviously tell which of mayoi's aesthetics are the ones i like the most lol are any of us surprised that my favorite 5star of his is his feature scout ^_^ BTW!! if any of u want me to draw any enstars character in any pripara outfit I WILL SO DO IT !!!!!! or even aikatsu outfit hehe cuz i'm also quite attached to that :] altho i may take a while cuz college is about 2 start orz rip my free time !!

one last thing b4 y'all leave !! ya as i just implied, i actually watched a bit of aikatsu (enough to get to the second protag is all i remember) i just ended up with a greater attachment to pripara cuz it was my very very first anime, but yea yurika's eternally flickering flame go listen to it and imagine it's mayoi maybe even wearing his fs trust me on this one u have to experience it please please please please heres the full version too (no shade to the vers w ozora i just think yurika fits mayois voice more), anyway im on my knees begging for this to be what his solo ends up like just cover the song it'll be fine no one will notice trust me mayoi u gotta sing this

ohh i haven’t done one of these in ages!! @sabertoothwalrus​ (check her out, gr8 content) tagged me in this art thing

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 8 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome work!  

1 - Korra with Raava staff

this was super fun to finally draw!! i had this idea of an AU where benders use staffs to control their element over 3 years ago (i think) and its great to finally see it beyond random doodles i did in class back then. i really want to design some other staffs too at some point!

2 - Just some gays in a field

This might be the only thing I posted this year that wasn’t fanart... I rarely get motivated to draw original stuff but I somehow finished this one. yeehaw

3 - BoTW Midna

a little before Age of Calamity came out, i started a new BoTW file and as i was replaying & thinking about the Lore, i kept thinking about the love of my life, Midna Twilight Princess..... and for like a week i was obsessed with the idea of a Midna reincarnation showing up in the sequel. my Midzel loving ass immediately shipped this dumbass teen version with Zelda, of course,

4 - My tabaxi child

I started playing D&D regularly this year!! it’s one of my favorite things about 2020!! i absolutely love this character too, druid is my favorite class so far and playing an impolite 13 year old with a bad french accent is SO funny. every other player immediately adopts them its great

5 - The background map & front page art for the Critical Role Wiki

I finished catching up to all of CR earlier this year, and since i had a tendency to zone out and miss stuff, i would look up a ton of stuff on the wiki, and i always thought it looked so bland! it was still using the default theme and i thought it deserved something nicer. so i decided i would just Do That Myself! and since then i started editing the wiki super regularly, it’s one of my main hobbies now (ranked 19th out of the wiki editors babey)

the map i can’t take full credit for, as it’s only a traced version of this map. the original wasn’t big enough to fit the wiki, so i thought, why don’t i just. ya know. trace over the entire thing by hand. that way i could also decide on the colors and font, etc (plus i love drawing lots of lil tedious details). later on i also made this graphic to put on the front page! both of these had to be WAY downsized to fit the wiki formatting but at least i can share the full size files on here

6 - “Human” Raava 

idk who remembers but I used to be OBSESSED with the AU where Raava looked like a human, and became younger as she lost power. i suddenly wanted to redraw the concept after all this time and reworked my old design a bit. twas fun

7 - The unfinished Pearl/Rose comic

in the end I only colored this single panel, but i did post the first 8 pages (which is as far as i got) of an old comic idea from over a year ago. its kinda crazy how hard it is for me to post unfinished stuff.. but in the end i’m glad i did. its very validating to read the tags on that post and see how many people got mad/sad after reading it hehehe

8 - Mighty Nein redesigns

i started this series of character sheets almost exactly one year ago! so far i only finished Jester and Beauregard (altho i need to update with her winter outfit), but i’m actually nearly done with Caleb, idk why i haven’t posted it yet... in my heart i believe that one day i’ll finish them all. but that might be 5 years from now. special shoutout to all the other CR art i made this year!! i actually got featured in the slideshow a couple times which is pretty unreal

Honorable mention -  New Nameless designs

this is the only one i posted, but i actually spent quite a bit of time this year developping a webcomic idea. i made a good amount of concept art and wrote a lot about it. it still feels way too ambitious for me to consider starting the webcomic any time soon (i want to make at least one other comic before) but the idea really grew this year!! anyway this is Nameless and her funky animal companion, they are travelling around a fantasy continent and uncovering mysterious lore

im blanking on who to tag uhhh @officialrocketjumper​, @cadetheespeon​ and @butchlinkle​

[unolvrs]

i read your tags and was wondering what you meant by saying jjk is easy to write for? :0 coming from a reader's perspective i don't rly know much about writing so i was wondering what makes a fandom 'hard' to write for. thanks for your time! :DD

i'm supposed to be writing new chapters right now since i postponed a bit for... idk what i was doing tbh, but this question seems to be interesting to answer so here we go. this is all entirely my opinion, by the way. i just find jjk easy to write for

why jjk (and shounen manga) are easy to write for:

jujutsu kaisen’s formula is similar to shounen manga straying into the seinen line. unlike, say, shounen manga like naruto, one piece, jjk is shameless with the dark themes. (shibuya arc, man. you don’t see that in naruto.) jjk is still a shounen manga and is being published under shounen jump. these kinds of seinen-like shounen manga are actually starting to become more popular like jigokuraku and chainsaw man, and those two are both under shounen jump. they’re fr pushing the shounen genre. those two are obviously seinen at least.

but at the end of the day, jjk is a shounen manga and follows a linear plot. the timeline, worldbuilding, and the plot isn’t that complicated to understand as much as the difficulties itadori has to go through is vastly different from most protagonists. it’s not anything demeaning or bad, of course, i’m just going to be honest and say jujutsu kaisen follows the formula of a shounen manga like this new booming manga, tougen anki.

if you’re writing an oc / reader-insert, you need to establish something plausible as to where said oc / reader came from, and in jjk, you can have lots of characters coming from literally anywhere. the school setting makes it easy too since you can easily pass the oc off as a student or as a teacher, or generally, as a sorcerer. there are lots you can enter from.

then we have crossovers: jjk’s laws are well-expanded and explained, and the main characters are in an appropriate age to be pushed into another fandom since they generally have the same age group. and the linear plot line makes it much easier to separate things into arcs and settle a difference for each one.

it’s what makes boku no hero academia and harry potter a go-to for crossovers because their world is very easy to write for: linear, has lots of openings to come from, and etc.

what makes a fandom hard to write for?

the first few fandoms i thought is hard to write for are baccano and lord of the rings. 

lord of the rings, as individual stories, may be quite easy but if someone’s going to go full-on lord of the rings, there are many things to consider. though there are a few places to come from, the problem is: there are too many. there are too many ages to consider, timelines, characters, and ‘if this happened how is this going to get affected’, because there has to be something different with your story that will pique your readers’ interests so you usually don’t want to make things linear and exactly as the plot usually goes.

there are too many things to consider, too many things to take note of, and basically, it’s really hard to keep everything in track.

as for baccano, though it’s a lot less popular, the point of why baccano is hard to right for is because of it’s unique storytelling. there are lots of time jumps and ‘unrelated stories somehow connecting to each other’ is always such a pain in the ass to write for because you have to connect everything in just one way or another.

but it’s what makes things challenging and fun!

for example, i enjoy writing for fandoms i don’t like and writing characters i also don’t like because it makes it really interesting to delve and expand on it. why do i hate this character / this fandom so much? and things like that. hehehe.

i hope this helped. i was mostly rambling and i got told a lot by my other friends that i don’t explain things i like very well because i get too mouthy, but here you go!

[the-pigeon]

hello please tell me about your AU? :D

echo echo echo i am sniffing you like an excited dog << why did i say that BUT MY AU :O

it's called elephant paths and it mainly features fundy ranboo and tubbo and it's a fantasy au and here is some art i literally just finished right now

and im gonna ramble about it now ヾ(≧▽≦*)

main main main (tm) character is ranboo and you're never gonna believe this but he has amnesia :O they dont remember anything except what was in their book bag which only had a book of spells but it was signed with the name ranboo so he was like 'yeah aight thats me'. in his book of spells is a ripped out page that has a spell to cure amnesia which was like.. stuffed in? suspicious

they wake up in a weird little grotto which is fundy's! fundy is like.. a lesser deity?? like he's not exactly a God but he's still like.. powerful enough to be? idk how to describe it ANYWAY he finds ranboo in his grotto/cave/den/home/thing and ranboo promises that if fundy can help them get their memory back, then he'll help fundy with something. fundy, a mischeeeeevious little fella decides to agree to the deal so they set off to try and get everything listed in ranboo's anti-amnesia spell

along the way they meet tubbo who is also a witch (i think i forgot to mention ranboo being a witch) and he decides to tag along because of a really important reason that i've definitely decided on. most of the story is just them going from place to place to gather the ingredients and they meet a bunch of other characters along the way (mainly sbi-leaning because i,, have favouritism) and its mainly just silly little goofs

ALSO heres a wip that im gonna clean up later but look at them :D

fundy can also shapeshift bc why not

there's other stuff happening in the background like the thing that fundy wants (which i do know >:) but im gonna keep it secret hehehe) and also maaaybe married bee duo??? idk i havent decided but i think it would be cool if the spell needed them to get married or something that would be funny and also there's the weird black/purple stuff on ranboo's skin that is spreading across his whole body but im sure he'll be fine ^_^

that's mainly it for now but i just brrrrrrrrrrr << thats the noise my brain makes when i think of this au hsjdhjdsfh

Hannibal Related Questions

thank you for @margotisopenlylesbian and @cannnibal for tagging me!!!

Favourite episode and why: maybe this makes me mainstream but definitely mizumono.... i just think it does such a good job at building tension and then never really having that tension resolved since we dont know at the end of season 2 who survived and who didnt. it has some of the best dialogue and acting in the series too in my opinion

Least favourite episode and why: ummm i think the angel maker episode. not because its bad but just because it kind of drags a little in the middle of the first season and feels like other than wills and jacks fight at the end of the episode, it really has no bearing on the larger plot as a whole. also it still confuses me how the angel maker flayed off his own back and hung himself from a barn 

Favourite side character: BEVERLY!!! abi too 

If you could bring back one character who died, who would it be?: see idk bc while i personally hate how bev and abi died i do see why they did and why its necessary to the plot as a whole so idk. in my dream world bev and abi are alive tho

Dish prepared in the show that you would like to try eating/ making: honestly im a really picky eater plus im allergic to some food stuff so like... idk if i would actually eat anything... maybe the blood chocolate stuff that seemed kinda good 

Which side character would you kill off?: i would say mason but i guess hes a main character so matthew brown i guess hes already dead i just hate that he has stans like he was in 1 episode 

Was there any scene that you didn’t like to look at?: the scene from the human eye episode where the guy rips himself out of the eye and he sounds so in pain.... its hard for me to watch stuff like that 

Biggest ship: hannigram.... marlana.... and bev and freddie my fave femslash crackship 

Why did you start watching Hannibal?: i dont even remember i think id vaguely heard of it while it was airing and thought it sounded good so much later when i got rlly bored i started watching it cuz a couple friends of mine liked it too 

Favourite Hannibal fic if you’ve read any?: anything by emungere by particularly two solitudes and their ladders series umm also the wishbaby fic by thehoyden i cant remember what its called

Have you watched any of the Hannibal films?: only silence of the lambs and tbh you guys its not that good

Have you read the Thomas Harris books?: no but maybe if i get bored enough ill read them

Favourite murder tableau: omg ummmm suddenly i cant remember any of them i guess i really liked the violin guy 

Favourite blood spill: anytime will imagines himself killing hannibal

What’re some of your headcanons?: OH BOY 

-he/they will 

-lesbian alana (AND I CAN EXPLAIN) 

-nonbinary lesbian abi 

-bi bev

-listeni know its unhealthy and unrealistic or whateva but i love murder family............ 

i tag @acheforyou and anyone else who wants to do it hehehe

[pinkykitten]

I was tagged by @writing-with-melon I hope my answers aren’t complete waste or if time and if so I’m sorry and I love you

Rules: Answer ten 10 questions, ask 10, and tag 10 people

1. What song automatically plays in your head when you look out the window on a long drive? 

i dont really have an answer for this. i think i just automatically think about any song ive been listening to recently or any song that has been stuck in my head. 

2.  Do you have some snacks nearby when you write?

well i live in a two story house so the kitchen is downstairs and im usually lazy busy so since i have a mini fridge upstairs i just usually get water to drink while im writing. its kinda hard to eat and write cuz i loose focus really easily so when i am writing i am writing! i am in the zone! but if i am a little hungry ill usually snack on candy like chocolate kinder joys i love them but they r so expensive or snack on chips but i get like salt on my fingers or i like cheetos so cheetos dust and that just gets everywhere and later my hands and keyboard kinda smell like fart. 3. What do you do to combat creative burnout?

so burnout happens to me a lot so to get inspiration i either read other stories or fanfics which gets my head gears turning or i admire a piece of art or photography or a song. whats so unique and satisfying with writing you can explore and go anywhere with it, hehehe erotic if you know what i mean lol jk there are no barriers with writing just your imagination. there is inspiration any where you go and id advise to never stop writing. even if its a few short sentences or paragraphs about anything even bird poop its still progression and your mind is working and your searching for words like its all good for you bby.  4. Do you use (or like to use) prompts? 

i do ill put the link here. im thinking of changing it though to do something different. 

5. What is your favorite place to write?

lol boring, i know but my room. my room is really bright in the mornings and comfortable and chill and i have a candle of the pandora ride in disney that smells like the ride so its all good and relaxing and super peaceful plus i have a picture of myself the age of like 9 on my desk idk why but it encourages me and makes me focus to make sure i never get that cringy again. 

6. What is a hobby or yous that you usually don’t talk about?

well i like working out HAHAHAHAHA jk that was a joke...get it...cuz i much rather be eatingokillstop. but i really like to draw which i have a art page you can see it if you click here pls look at my failed attempts to be hip and cool with the cool kids and being artsy fartsy. another hobby is i really like to do makeup and nail art, nail art is really tough guys no joke if you do it like you got wizard powers are something. maybe its bc my nails are shorter than pete davidson and ariana grande’s relationship, alright im trying to stop i swear!

7. Do you play an instrument? Which one?

no i wish though. i always wanted to learn to either play the piano or electric guitar cuz H.E.R looks so cool doing it. 

8. How do you feel about your handwriting?

it sucks dont even try me. my sister can barely read it like no wonder nobody wants to steal my signature heck they can’t even read it!

9. Can you tell us of a story that marked your development as a person? As a writer?

ok sit back guys, sniff a nice amount of crack and get ready for the most cringy moment of my life but also a time when i knew i was meant to be *inhale* a fanfic writer. 

so it was elementary school, i think 3rd grade and for my writing assignment we were given a prompt of idk what the heck tbh i think it was like be outside the box and im like ok imma nail this cuz im a weird child and yeah so i got my papers and pencil and i went TO TOWN on this paper. so i wrote two stories. one short story with a picture to go with it and one long story that yeah i buried years ago. so my first story was about a farmer was about that farming life. he had chickens and dairy. so i cant remember if the cheese was spoiled but doesnt matter. anywho these cheese and a chicken were alive like they could talk in the story and i gave them faces, yikes. but the whole story was the farmer was a b*tch and he was trying to eat the chicken and cheese so they hatched a plan to get away from the farmer. they did it successfully and they ran away. yay happy ending my teacher actually liked that one me too and my school mates were thinking what they heck is this girl on i made a story about how me and justin bieber made cookies for Christmas you know. so then my other story i was more proud of this one cuz it was a tone of paper, sorry trees, and this story was about how a female hippo (girl i was all about plus size and thicker girls and no body shaming) and an male ostrich were kidnapped from their own habitats and taken to become circus animals. failed version of Madagascar hey mine was before the circus movie OK THEY STOLE IT FROM MEEEEE. so they get taken and are treated to harsh punishment and the animals can talk and i think its in the point of view of the male ostrich guy thing. they are in the circus and they start to have this relationship happening. love starts blossoming its all good. im happy with this cuz i believed in love at age of 8. they find a way thru a kick butt scene of the animals escaping and the hippo and ostrich are so in love that they run away together and they have half hippo half ostrich babies and i think i named the species  hipstrich or like ostppo idk but i was so proud of this story and when my teacher read it she was worried about me lol i think she thought i might like mate these two animals like secretly idk but she was like it was ok and i was like what this is frickin William Shakespeare writing or like F. Scott Fitzgerald writing. nevertheless it taught me a lesson that nobody else needs to like what im writing the main point and only thing that matters is if your proud of it and you like it and i really did. i will remember that story forever and thats what made me want to be a writer. lol sorry that was a lot. 

10. @emdop I’m going to use this great question: Explain one of your WIPs in the most ridiculous way possible.

i was tagged by @writing-with-melon again ty btw, ps i felt so much pressure lol jk 😊

Rules: Answer 5 questions, Ask 5 questions, Tag 5 people.

1. What is your favorite book?

fifty shades of grey hahaha naw my favorite book is obv you all know this is series of unfortunate events but i never usually cry period and i never cry for books ever so when i read mrs. tom thumb by melanie benjamin, its the part when her sister minnie dies i cried so hard idk it was just emotional the wording the way she described her pain it was so beautiful written yet so sad and that was just amazing to me cuz im like this book made me feel things and im like wow i would love to write a book one day and make someone feel something whether it be sadness anger happiness annoyance anything they are having an emotion and that is super powerful to do that with just words. pls go check out that book its a good read. also im a fan of the greatest showman so i really enjoyed it. there are many other books tho that i thoroughly enjoy so much. 

2. What piece that you’ve written are you most proud of?

oh my god ive always wanted to be asked this question hands down i am always proud of my platonic gender neutral tony stark fic called in·con·sol·a·ble window to me i wrote it so sad and i was feeling like depressed lol when i saw peter die in infinity war like i didnt know what to do with my life tbh but im so glad that @impetrichorny requested it tysm i just like how its not based on romance or fluff or happiness it is based on when you lose someone the nightmares and sadness you go through and that there is nothing nobody can do about it except just be there for that person so i really like writing angst and something that was out of the box. ive been thinking tho of doing a part two since the fate of all the characters has changed after endgame. who knows tho. 

3. What is the last song that inspired you? 

well for art it would have to good news by mac miller when i did that kobe bryant memorial on my art page. i dont want to give it away though but ill just say some very powerful womens music inspired my oc writing and making. 

4. How do you feel about letting people read what you write?

at first i was scared cuz i thought i wrote like trash which that feeling kinda doesnt go away like some days i feel that way others i feel confident or it depends on the request it just depends but anyways i was always insecure about my writing so when i started writing it was more like lets see how this goes if not ill delete the whole page. im glad to say it went great but in the begging it was hard cuz i kept putting myself down but i learned to accept or just understand that you keep learning with writing you always learn knew things with writing how you can explain something better or you words get more intricate and people see the improvement and you do too thats why i applaud those who dont speak english that english isnt their first language. you are doing a tremendous job and keep practicing cuz you’re gonna make it to the top. ive also learned that some days are not my days and you can take time off when youre not feeling it when you have writers block. just recollect your juices sip some tea go to the beach relax your mind a little and take as long as you need to come back and give it your all. also comments and reblogs and likes a follows those meant so much to me and encouraged me. thats why i cant express it enough how much all those mean to writers, artist, photographers, anybody who is truly trying their hard in this area of social media. its makes a person happy smile and confident in their writing but first train your mind into loving what you make not what others thing. you have to be happy with the outcome that is what truly matters and what makes your writing the best. look at me getting philosophical. 

5. Do you get distracted easily? If yes with what?

yes and with porn haha i get distracted easily like very easily homeschooling was really tough for me. music distracts me, netflix, the urge to watch david dobrik or unus annus or buzzfeed unsolved on youtube, heck my farts distract me. i gotta be like troy bolton i gotta get my HEAD IN THE GAME!

Writing quiz

I was tagged by @adachicuto (I swear I almost cried when I saw it lool)

what is your ideal setting for focusing on your writing?

I actually prefer to write when I’m outside, especially if the scenery is nice<3 I usually end up sitting in the corner of my livingroom tho, heheh

what if your favorite genre to write?

I’ve just kinda stuck with fluff and like some angst bc it’s kind of more of a “safe ground” for me, bur I’d love to write science fiction or more like fantasy because that’s what I enjoy reading! I might try to do it sometime, but I’m still not too confident in my fantasy and writing-abilities, so I’ll probably wait for now</3

do you prefer to write on paper or digitally?

I write everything digitally, but a lot of the time I get ideas at kinda unconventional times, so I’ve got a notebook that I use for outlining stuff and exploring ideas!

it’s the middle the middle of the night and you suddenly wake up with an idea. what do you do?

It really depends on the idea, I think! Like if it’s something I think is cool then I’ll write it down on my phone, but if it’s like one of those “big” ideas then I usually won’t be able to sleep until I’ve at least written a little bit!

who is your favorite person to write about?

I definitely like to write about Kun and Jeno, like idk, they’ve just got personalities that are kinda similar to mine, so I find it easier to write about them<3

I definetly think that I’d like to wreite about Yeosang and Hongjoong from Ateez as well!

do you like making your own character, or do you usually write about real people

I mean, I obviously prefer to write about real people, heheh! I think a big reason for that is that it usually takes a lot of time to build a good character, and I know that I’m usually pretty picky about the fictional characters I like, so I think I might get too invested in the characters and loose the plot

have you ever written a book, or a story with more than 15 chapters (100k words)?

I haven’t done it, but I definitely want to try to write a series sometime! (I don’t know if I’ll ever have tha patience to write 100k words for one story tho, heheh)

how often do you get ideas?

Idk, it really varies on how busy I am! I the periods when school is stressful my creatvity is usually dead as abrick, lol, but since the summer holidays are coming up I’m expecting to be able to write some more!

do you ever get an idea that you really like but just can’t seem to finish?

All   the    time >:(((

I think my main problem is that I have a lot ideas for outlines to stories without any plot, or I’m not sure if people would actually like the plot uknow</3

what is your least favorite plot?

I’m not too fond of the whole fuckboy-turning-good kinda thing, especially not when it comes to kpop:/ It just kinda makes me a bit uncomfortable heheh

tag at least 5 other people

I don’t have a lot of writer-mutuals, so I’ll tag some lovely writers that are following me instead<333 (pls don’t feel pressured to do it tho<3)

[reelybadfnafocs]

so i sent in this submission about .. oh gosh, it’s really been 3 years! and, ah, man, it was bad. i’m not at all into fnaf anymore but i decided it’d be fun to revisit! (also im not sure what to tag this as eee). please don’t keep in mind how human he looks idk how to draw robot people

*cracks knuckles*

I am so sorry, you’ve been in the submission box long enough. (Hey, Mod Bright here!)

his name is lori as it’s easy for young children to remember and pronounce. (heheh cute) he works at a more successful rip-off of freddy’s pizzeria called ‘fun business’ (think no-name brand) and his job is now to provide comfort to small children who may have become unexpectedly frightened of the animal animatronics. (good idea!!)

he has his own 'quiet corner’ in the restaurant away from the main show and he is capable of:

reading to children, or reciting poems he “wrote” (pre-programmed into him) (endearing, sounds plausible/like something that WOULD be programmed into a robot)

singing lullabies

drawing with children (he has designs programmed into him that he can replicate) (not fully sure how this works but the idea sounds fun! reminds me of the tasbot brain age speedrun!)

“eating” (this is to encourage children who may be acting difficult and refusing to eat. he has a safe compartment that allows him to do this without damaging his own inner workings.) (sounds kind of like a hassle to clean out, but specifying there’s a compartment that lets him do this does help with believability. what happens if the compartment doesn’t get cleaned out? i mean, that probably sounds obvious, but wanted to ask.)

and dancing! (cute. im assuming thats like...exactly what you’d expect it to look like.)

he was originally meant to be an a.i. project but the original company had run out of funds and were forced to sell him at a massively discounted price, which is why he is so human-like, capable of expressing emotion and (relatively) fluid motion. his earpieces are wireless sensors so staff can communicate with him. like amazon alexa or google assistant, he is able to receive and follow set commands. (sounds interesting! it makes me wonder just what the budget for the restaurant is, though, given that a massively discounted price for a robot like this (fully working, very developed, fluid motion) would still probably be kind of expensive.)

his a.i. programming was partially kept, so children can have real conversations with him and he can even remember children and conversations they have had! though sometimes people will try to abuse this and give him political/religious views or teach him to cuss as he learns through conversation, in which he is reset and will sometimes “forget” kids. (oh yeah, makes sense. that one twitter ai that google set up comes to mind.)

at night he tends to wander and look into the cameras. sometimes he will attempt to enter the office although he will not kill the protagonist, instead he will attempt to treat them as a lost child which hampers the player’s ability to check for the other, deadly animatronics. he can only be deterred by being ordered via the cameras to return to his original spot. 

if he does enter the office he will not go away as his “lost child” programming will override everything else for safety measures. he will repeat things like “come on, i can take you back to the party room, okay?” and “i’ll help you find your parents, what do they look like?” in an endearing tone which will lead sound-sensitive animatronics to the office. (i wanted to keep that “helps the nightguard” thing, but i wanted to make it a bit more… realistic aha. he thinks he’s helping!) (oh i love him?)

yea i thought this up in like 15 minutes i hope you like him and i am so sorry for the novel

I enjoyed reading it, he’s a good boy. To sum it up, he’s solid as a character! Other than the like...two things I’ve mentioned, he makes a lot of sense and has some interesting quirks that make me wanna know more about him! He’s just a sweet boy, thatse it, he cannot change this.

Also, your art is hella good! I like your art style!
