#And it's hard to capture exactly

What the hell is that thing. Where did it come from. Put it BACK 😤

Mani isn't a "unit" in the traditional sense, it's more of just. Some sort of lingering apparition in the back of your mind. I really like the idea of it wielding half a pair of broken scissors as a dagger, though. Old fashioned brass sewing scissors... very on theme! (And VERY HARD TO DRAW!)

Compared to Moe, it's very... poised, you could say.

I just finished your New Wave fic. I’m convinced everything your write is gold. I loved your TMA fics, with the most heartbreaking demon AU imaginable and the hilarity of Fahrenheit 101. I loved your moon knight fics, starting with Steven talking to animals on the reg at work to the system growing closer with a focus on Jake, i- there’s- it’s sooo much packed into it. When I’m on burnout, of art or writing (maybe life in general at times) I revisit your work and am thrown back into a creative headspace.

You are my favorite writer, you cram so much meaning and thought into your work and it shows. The characters are dumbasses and say the most ridiculous shit and turn around the next chapter and say the most thought provoking thing, and I don’t get whiplash from it because these characters just work! They just do, and I… am very much off track!

Anyways I just got into Batman and reading your fic is fueling that flame! I can’t wait to see what you have in store next, and I shall now stalk your blog for writing tips! I hope you have a nice day broski 💙

Thank you!! This is so sweet thank you so much! This ask is so nice!

Trust me, if there's meaning then it's because I get obsessive over these fics and I massively overthink them. I honestly wish I was better at making simpler, more elegant stories. I feel like nothing I do is truly going to be good until I can find that simplicity.

"Dipshit who says stupid stuff and then turns around and spouts ridiculous philosophy" is just how I talk. But I habitually approach my life from a standpoint of finding humor in everything, if only to soften the blow. I was once told that it's really hard to tell when I'm joking, because everything I say is always half-joking and always half-serious. I feel like that's pretty evident from my narration too...

As for writing advice...um, I was just speaking about this with somebody. When you're plotting a story, the first thing I like to figure out is what I'm trying to say. Everything else should be built around that. The joy of writing is that I think we all have something we want to say, or something we want people to know, or that we have an aspect of ourselves and our lives that we want to express. Most of the time, trying to convey those things verbally just results in a frustrating approximation of your true feelings. I find that when I manage a successful story, the depth and scale of what I'm trying to impart is fully understood and felt. It's rewarding. I think if people aren't understood on some level, by somebody, they kind of die.

Thanks for the sweet ask!!

Not maintagging because this is dangerously close to shitposting but her face as Nyn and Egwene walk in cracks me up:

About to indulge in a smidge of rhetoric mastery to persuade twenty-somethings to save the world.

just so y'all know inside (2021) and inside the outtakes (2022) still hits as hard as they did when they came out

Trapper Tuesday has really changed my opinion of Tuesdays; I look forward to this day all week

e, n, & x from the fanfic writer asks? :3

Thank you for asking, friend!! c:

(Fic Writer Asks)

E: What character do you identify with most?  Is there a certain fic of yours that captures these qualities particularly well?

Oh man, this is hard to answer. Each of my OCs is like a little piece of my personality, so I identify with all of them at different times lol. Right now though? Complaining long and loud about something of little consequence (for the bit), so Maria and Sportsmanship c:

N: Any fic ideas brewing that you’d care to share?

A couple percolating! I have another chess smut piece I've been slowly outlining and I had an idea click into place for this piece about Hawke falling into a crevice in Sundermount and Fenris falling after her (and it's weird because it's before they get back together, and of course they're both injured, and so on)...As well as some Exchange treats I'm trying to get a solid concept together for haha

X: How would you categorize your fanfic reading?  Are you a voracious reader?  Do you carefully pick and choose?  Something in between?

Ooh I answered this here, but the short answer is I am very picky. It's compounded by the fact that I have much less time than I used to for reading fic (tragically) so I really rely on recommendations to find things to read!

Working on some designs for one of my oldest OCs, “Cure” (Patreon)

I also managed to track down some of her initial concept sketches from 2018 - why 2018 considering I called her one of my oldest OCs?

Well, her design has always been rather elusive, even more so since she spent so much time in my head without being brought to paper - even these sketches make mention of it!

Pretty sure she got “Cure” in 2018 too - starting to take form!

Lockwood & Co. really does have the best book to screen adaption I've ever seen. And the changes that were made not only improved upon the source material, but most importantly - felt true to it.

[monster-noises]

I am experiencing... frustration.

[gachaparadise]

ahhh the Penacony leaks are really coming in now.

*chuckles* I'm in danger.

[xythlia]

I watched beau is afraid last night & honestly if ur mother was a monster u understand immediately why he's afraid bc my bf who has a nice kinda doting mom didn't get it at all

[insomtiny]

watching jigsaw and i was like it probably doesn't actually suck that bad and it does actually kinda suck that bad

★ thinking about ex!satoru who still stubbornly refers to you in conversation as his girlfriend, even after a few long months have passed since your breakup.

he simply can't (or won't) acknowledge the fact that the two of you are no longer an item, even going as far as to frequently send you texts updating you on his daily life and then spamming you with facetime requests that you have to keep declining until you eventually give in and respond to his original messages.

and when you inevitably block his number? that's okay, he'll just pop on down to the nearest electronics store and purchase a new phone. no biggie!

so later that evening when your screen lights up with a suspicious looking notification from an unregistered contact, you unfortunately already know exactly who it's from.

unknown: can't a guy talk with his pretty gf anymore? :(

unknown: oops, that was a typo! i definitely meant ex gf

and you're rolling your eyes in annoyance, finger hovering just above the oh-so-tempting bright red block button before the sight of a photo appearing in the chat captures your attention.

unknown: sent [1] image attachment

unknown: i think he misses u almost as much as i do

curiosity overtaking your rational thinking, you find yourself clicking on the picture... only to be greeted with the overly familiar sight of satoru's lengthy cock, hard and leaking between his legs.

unknown: see? he's cryin for u and everything

unknown: [incoming facetime request]

and this time; instead of just simply pressing decline like your muscle memory frantically urges you to — and in what can only be described as a moment of intense weakness... you answer.

yes there will be a pt 2!
