#After a few weeks break
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Text
So, I finished my third draft with 54625 words today. I was considering on editing some of the other parts a bit more, but I'll leave that until my forth draft. (I don't want to edit parts, and then after going through all the hassle, something changes from it anyway.)
But considering that I did at least 8,700 words of dialogue outline, 30,806 words for my first draft and 47,936 for my second.... I am interested to see how it'll turn out next. Especially since i get new ideas each time I write a new draft.
I'll probably wait until March to start reading it and see what changes I need to make. But for the time being, I'll probably be writing about my characters more. And perhaps create some profiles of different things.
We shall see.

I know those eyes.
[First]Ā PrevĀ <ā-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#Sibling similarity but you only see it when you realize they have the same soggy eyes.#These two always struck me as a bit of a play on Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli for 'siblings who contrast each other.#But after spending a lot more time marinating on Wen Ning I actually think they are way more similar that is initially apparent.#Sure their surface level personality traits are pretty contrastive. But they both are so willing to risk their lives for what's right#Who raised them? In a story so full of examples of how parents shape their children - why are these two lacking in parents?#I imagine that Wen Qing is the older sibling and so her morals of 'help those who need it no matter who they are' got passed a long.#But how did *she* arrive there? Was that instilled within her or was it a reaction against bearing witness to callousness and cruelty?#We'll never know..the only thing I can say for certain is Wen Qing is *so* soggy in the audio drama.#She's like the ant with the bindle. It's a hell of a way to bring a previously sharp tongued character back into the narritive.#Side note: Thank you all for being so patient and kind while I took my break!#It's been a very chaotic few weeks and I didn't realize how bad my burnout was getting. I'm back and ready to keep drawing again!

Thinking about vampires, death, life, and the space they occupy in between
#to be or not to be. that is the question#ty adam for being my model for dramatic vampire moment#musings on the thinkings about:#when to live you are required to hurt others. you must repeatedly ask yourself what the value of your life is#To sleep... perchance to dream...#ah. THERES THE RUB.#ok I actually couldnt come up with too many thoughts. I had a lot more while I was drawing this but I guess I put them in the painting LOL#reading that soliloquy and being like damn this is just like vampires#the reality of course is that the soliloquy is a debate over suicide and ultimately making the choice to live#even if just out of fear of the unknown#and vampires are about dying and then in undeath choosing to continue to live#despite the fear of eternity and loneliness and hurting others#theyre not the same. but like let me thiiink come onnnn I'm allowed to thiiink and have incomplete thoughts#I would have to write like a proper essay about this to organize my thoughts. this is the tags on a tumblr post.#anyways finished episode 79#working on patreon stickers for this month (and next month soon)#and working on book 4. taking a pause from episodes cause I've got 3 weeks of buffer now... UGH#I'm so mad that they changed it. it would have been 5 weeks before but it's fine it's whatever#anyways yeah taking a break from episodes to make my book now!#its good stuff.#and this painting is good stuff#banger after banger from me tbh#this was a little relaxing giving myself a couple hours to muse#it's necessary for my health and I always forget that til I do a painting...#I loved doing the little landscape in the background too I should do that more! I love how plants are just like whatever shape you want#like you can make up any plant you want and not only does that plant PROBABLY exist somewhere#a weirder plant exists somewhere too. so. literally whatever you want#ok bye again for a few days while I get back to work

Harringrove AU
Steve and Nancy got married right out of high school, because Steve was madly in love and it was the thing to do, and Nancy always liked him, she really did, and she thought. Y'know. He's a good guy. He's a catch, everyone says so.
They stay married for years, and they grow apart. And they argue. They get mean. It wasn't malicious at first, but the longer it goes on the more they resent each other.
Meanwhile Billy got his shit together enough to put himself through university. Get a degree. Get a cushy job helping rich people avoid messy divorce. It wasn't his first choice of career paths, it just sort of. Happened. Partly to spite his father, like a lot of the big choices he makes in life. Neil was always very down on the concept of therapy. When Billy was a child teachers would occasionally tell Neil he should think about getting Billy professional help. Which Billy was always punished for when they got home.
So maybe he wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this therapy stuff. Psychology turned out to be interesting. He ended up being good at it.
Until he isn't. When Steve Harrington walks into his office and fucks everything up by being everything Billy wants in a man and married to a woman who does not appreciate him. And Billy gets incredibly unprofessional.
Also I think it would be super funny if Jonathan was Billy's secretary, so Steve and Nancy are both like, yes, totally, I want to go to this couples counselling session for our relationship, not because I want to fuck the person trying to help us.
The mess. The chaos. Imagine it.
#harringrove#billy hargrove#steve harrington#stranger things#a raven's writing desk#i like to think that when nancy finds out steve boinked their therapist she's like. mostly relieved to have a legit reason to get divorced#and it only takes her a few weeks after they break up to start laughing about how ridiculous the situation is

...I... I do not know what on earth compelled me to make this nor why, but I will not be taking criticism at this time
#Moon posting#Break Week is rough y'all#Please I just needed to shitpost a little let me have this#OP Meta#I know this chart is incomprehensible you just have to accept it for what it is#No I was kind of thinking to myself it was kind of funny how of the OG Shichibukai half of them are either dads or borderline dads#And I was like. Can I make a chart of this. Can I make a Dad Chart of the Warlords.#I don't know why I made this nor what to do with this information but. Sure. Let me yeet this out.#Kuma is the Dadliest Dad to Ever Dad in One Piece. Moria canonically adopted Perona when she was little. We love the OG Goth Dad#Crocodad is real TO ME but if nothing else he does have the energy 100%. It's just short of Canon Confirmation at this point#Mihawk is a weird uncle to me. He has no dad energy. This man does not fuck. But he'll look after some kids (Zoro & Perona). Sure.#Blackbeard is like the opposite of Mihawk. He has never looked after a child but I'm sure he has spawned a bastard or two or three#(He may be a father but he is not a Dad) (But canonically as far as we know BB has no kids yet so I'm putting him in Not A Dad)#Jinbei is the new Token Father of the Strawhats according to Oda and so I'm putting him where he is based on that. Also vibes#Law's where he is kind of for similar reasons as Jinbei. This boy is too young to be a dad but dealing with Luffy gave him a few grey hairs#Doflamingo did arguably watch over Buffalo and Baby 5 as those two grew up so he's The Most Qualified in that square#Weevil is baby#Hancock could have Dad Energy in the right circumstances. Like she has THE POTENTIAL#Buggy does not fuck#...Thinking about it I probably should've switched Hancock and Buggy's placements on the chart but whatever it doesn't matter

ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!
yup š still trucking on! Been having to step back from art a bit. At least stuff that I would post! I'm still working on stuff behind the scenes though :) I appreciate you checking in!! ā„ I actually have some more dead plate stuff to post rn!
#had a scary time with my partner's health and then I didn't really talk about this part much but right after i had my own health issues :')#my issues weren't as bad. but still pretty concerning.#so it's been a lot of resting and taking it easy where I can while still staying financially afloat!#for anyone worrying#im thankfully okay! the past few weeks my body has been reaching a more healthy state :)#so i've been taking this time to take a semi break and work on some other projects#but i can feel my drive for drawing creeping back šš which im super excited for!!

āThe Bo-Staffā
Some angst based off my Ninjago redesign! Thereās a reason why I gave Zane a bo-staff from the start and if youāre interested in reading it, proceed to the tags cause Iām too embarassed to do it in captions lmao (Spoiler- it has something to do with the Ice Emperor)
#ninjago#ninjago fanart#zane julien#ninjago zane#ice emperor#ninjago ice emperor#doodle#fanart#drawing#art#artsy ari#((I got some story behind Zane with a bo-staff too so prepare to read me ranting in the tags cause I'm too shy to rant in caption))#((The quote I stole from TMNT 2012 when Splinter gave Donnie the staff and I thought ok now put Wu and Zane in that position))#((Contrary to popular belief- Zane very rarely breaks his staff and even if he did it's cause his opponent breaks it. He never breaks it))#((The Element of Ice is associated with 'thoughtful soul and peaceful heart' and the bo-staff. a sensitive weapon. is their main thing))#((According to Wu. No Ice Elemental Master ever broke their staff because of their famous patience and sensitive kindness))#((Zane is the first one to break it with his own hands. Lingering frustrations led him to hold it too rough and while sparring broke it))#((When he was the Ice Emperor holding the scroll- he had no thought of his grip on the staff and it lingers for awhile))#((After being brought back he might've left behind the Ice Emperor but he becomes more impatient and he's easily agitated))#((The first few weeks were rough. 5 days after returning from the Never Realm the group thought it would be a good idea for a spar))#((He's wielding a glorified stick. he's losing. he gets frustrated. held the staff too hard and hit Kai until it fucking snaps in half))#((That's basically it lmao))

if clichƩ bad, why grey restraining tim from following lucy into the o.r. after spotting her being pushed in on a gurney so, so good????
#*carly catalogs#..... i'll shut up now#(actually no i won't) cause imagine tim finally caving into his emotions and breaking down in tears in gry's arms#ooohhohohoho i know it's extra cheesy but what is life without cheese anyway??????#i'm just picturing grey holding him back like 'hey hey hey bradford! stop! you can't be with her right now!'#omg and it would parallel so well with the time boden held kelly back from seeing shay after she got that first head injury#ya know from that one time her and gabby got crashed into while in the back of the ambulance#okay okay i swear i'll shut up about putting lucy in the hospital again#....... until i think of the next thing in a few minutes/hours/weeks/months whenever really#the rookie#sergeant grey#wade grey#tim bradford#lucy chen#chenford#otp: you know me so well

Good morning, Sleepyhead.
[First]Ā PrevĀ <ā-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#'WWX was asleep for 4 days' is an incorrect factoid.#The average WWX sleeps for 8 hours. The PD-MDZS WWX who was asleep for 40 comics and 4 months is an outlier.#We are back to present day! I have missed drawing them!#Ah...the contrast between how the flashback ended (cold and distrustful) to how wwx wakes up (warm and watched over)...#The gap between the past and present is very important. Not just in this story but in our lives too.#The past can still hurt and it doesn't just go away with time as some say. It is the power of realizing that things have changed.#We can't get the good back. The bad memories have concluded. Those live somewhere else now.#It is hard to realize that you have to live for today and tomorrow. The past is so loud.#For WWX it is realizing that despite the mistrust in the past - He really does have faith that LWJ will be there for him.#It is the reflection of knowing that you changed and will keep changing and that change is good and kind sometimes.#But more importantly...and this I really do mean with all my heart:#It will all end up okay in the end. Even after the worst day. The most painful losses. You will get through it.#What feels like a breaking point is truthfully just another step you have to take. You'll get through it even though it feels like the end.#There are wonderful things you have yet to see. Friends you have yet to meet.#Even if it hurts so badly...one day it just aches. Someday you'll go a few weeks not remembering that it ever hurt.#Oh and because my izutsumi comic revealed many people were in need of hearing this:#You are loved. Right now. You are so loved right now. We just forget to tell each other that.#Go tell the people you love that they matter to you. I'm assigning you homework!!! You are graded on completion.

Any Rewind updates coming soon? š
If I was a very lucky person. I'd say we might see one as soon as this Friday.
But then. It may not be a very good chapter, and it may actually be a part one of a chapter.
But if it is finished, and edited, and the people want the not-very-good chapter...
Then perhaps. Perhaps we will have one on Friday.
Kindly,
The Void
#apologies for the formal speech#it just gets me sometimes#I have been writing more#I think I did decide to break up this chapter I'm working on into a part one and a part two#so really I just have to finish writing a scene. Wait a few hours for it to simmer. Come back and edit.#and then I can post it#I might have to go back and re-edit it after I post it#but.#it'll be a chapter.#After so many months...#I wouldn't bank on anything.#but perhaps.#perhaps one.#soon.#and if I am lucky#I will have the next chapter after that done by next week. Because I have finally figured out the plot.#and after that is a finished chapter I can polish up and post.#and by then I will have had three whole chapters up and loaded.#imagine that.#I might even have the one after that done. But let's not jinx that.#ask#rewind series#bbc merlin#hope this answered! thanks for asking#sorry I got to it like many months late. or weeks. I don't know how to tell time anymore. :')
