Hello! For the big bang ask game:

1. What was the most fun thing about the event?

2. What got you into royai?

3. What was your favorite/most challenging thing to draw?

Can't wait for everyone to see your work! ☺️💕

Hi! So happy to get an ask from you 🥹🩷

the most fun thing about the event… hmmm that is a hard question, but I think it is just a HUGE mix of meeting people I look up to and admire their work ( artists and authors ) and getting to know them, PLUS I was able to work with my idols which is a big deal haha. I got to draw many great scenes and now I have a very beautiful community that I wouldn't have if I had taken a chance and signed up in the event 🙂‍↕️🩷🩷 ( I love you big bang group )

2. Okay so, Royai - it all started when my brother was nagging me to read Fma’s manga, but I was just wasn't pulled ( anime wasn't a thing that I liked ), so as a bonding activity, My brother and I started to watch brotherhood. RIGHT at their ( Royai’s ) first appearance I looked at my brother:

“ tell me they are married.”

“ no they aren't,”

“ dating?”

” 🤷🏻‍♂️”

After the Nina episode, I was just disgusted and didn't want to finish the anime, but he promised me that they would kiss at the end. So yeah haha throughout the whole thing, I just kept shipping them hard and my love grew over each episode 🩷

3. Favorite thing to draw? Honestly, the joy I had of just drawing these two over and over is one of my favorite things haha I loved coloring Riza’s hair and doing Roy’s eyes. Each piece had its favorite parts and difficulties The most challenging parts- I would just give a few hints.

Hands, lighting on some arts, RIZA’S LIPS. And a hug between two females ( I won't spoil. ) and just after taking so many projects, drawing became a challenge, I just literally handed the last project’s arts last Thursday 😭

This event has been a blessing, I can't even thank @royaibigbang for organizing this 💋

Ok so hear me out folks.....

I’ve been hearing word on the street that “Hey, Encanto is dead” or “Encanto is soooooooo last year” or “Well, I think the Encanto craze is all over because there’s no news of a sequel or series”.

But you know what? So many more achievements have been unlocked by the Madrigal family in the past few weeks. Here are some of them:

- Encanto bagged three Grammy awards including Best Compilation for Visual Media, Best Film Score and Best Song for Visual Media (for Bruno)

- Nielsen revealed that Encanto was among the most played streaming movie or TV show in the United States for all of 2022

- A whole new sequence for “Dos Orugitas” was added at Disneyland’s new nighttime spectacular “Wonderous Journeys” as part of their celebration of Disney’s 100 Years of Wonder

- The Encanto community just concluded its first ever “Big Bang” uniting artists and fanfic writers in more amazing original stories based on the Madrigals

- Gameloft confirmed that Mirabel is coming to Disney’s Dreamlight Valley, the Disneyfied version of Animal Crossing or the Sims (I hear it is such a cool life sim game), and the Encanto realm will be unlocked by all users on February 16th, meaning those who have Dreamlight Valley can now experience Encanto!

And all of these events happened in a span of a few weeks????? It is such a big deal for Encanto fans and brainrotters but there is a part of me that feels very boggled over the speed of these events exactly a year since Encanto had exploded.......

If these can be indicators for something, then I have to safely say that ENCANTO IS NOT DEAD! The magic and beauty of Encanto will continue to touch and inspire us to radiate love and express our own special gifts. We will continue to make and tell stories about the wonderful Madrigals even if a sequel or Disney+ series are still miles and miles away. Everywhere I look, I see Encanto. Fanarts and OCs populate my Instagram. I see even more Encanto fanmade stuff on Tumblr. And my Twitter has also been bombarded by Encanto headcanons and whatnot........

These are signs that Encanto will never fade out into black, we fans will be there to make the universe better and better! After all, it’s Disney’s biggest hit of the 21st century for one simple reason: We don’t just watch Encanto, we FEEL IT.

Nica: How do you feel about children?

Andy: They’re okay, I guess. I mean, if I saw one, I wouldn’t throw a rock at it.

Nica: …w-why would you throw a rock at a child?

Andy: …I just said I wouldn’t??

Remember that background I posted as a teaser for the 2021 fratt bang? In April of 2021? WELL HERES THE FULL PIECE.

The background to this AU where The Defenders aren’t superheroes is that they all know each other because they were in a terrible band together while in college in the 90s. They were Not Good, but that’s okay because the band was mostly an excuse to hang out and drink together. They played exactly one (1) show at Josie’s, and none of them discussed what they would be wearing ahead of time, beyond generally agreeing to really go all out. Danny was baked and didn’t get the memo, Foggy styled Matt but Matt got cold and put on one of those amazing colorblock wind breakers, and both Jess and Luke are kinda stuck in the 80s.

They were banned from playing in her bar again, but Josie keeps photographic evidence on the wall.

This will eventually be present in @sevdrag’s Fratt fic, He Thinks Like a King, too.

Here it is without all the “it was the 90s so I took film to get developed at the pharmacy so I could look at the picture” effects.

The last of my art for the Crowley BigBang 2023 : Crowley Against Humanity event. This one is a colab with the lovely author Moony (SilasBaran on AO3) who really pulled out all the stops writing her fabulous fic, so I tried to do the same with the art to match.

“This Gentle Concord-”

Fergus MacLeod, manager at a nightclub, gets rescued from a robbery by Jimmy Novak. Impressed by the latter’s fighting skills he offers Jimmy a job as a bouncer at his club. Jimmy, who just lost his retail job accepts.

What seemed like a normal coincidence rapidly escalates into a hunt involving demons, angels and a mysterious carnival, during which both men have to face one final question: Do they want to stay human or get their powers and memories back?

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Check Please! (Webcomic) Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Eric "Bitty" Bittle/Connor "Whiskey" Whisk, Denice "Foxtrot" Ford & Tony "Tango" Tangredi & Connor "Whiskey" Whisk Characters: Connor "Whiskey" Whisk, Eric "Bitty" Bittle, Tony "Tango" Tangredi, Denice "Foxtrot" Ford, John Johnson (Check Please!) Additional Tags: One Night Stands, whiskey kind of has an anxiety attack, whiskey was in a bad previous relationship Summary:

Connor climbs the steps outside his apartment building and reaches for the pockets he doesn’t have. He pats the front of his hip bones where his jacket pockets should be, and it dawns on him.

He rewinds the tape of the previous night and watches it happen: soft hands unlock the apartment door; soft hands pull him inside, past the doorway, towards the couch; soft hands nudge well-worn jean off his shoulders until it drops onto the back of the couch. Connor lives out of that jacket, and he forgot to grab it on his way out.

“Fuck.”

---

After fleeing a one night stand and leaving his jacket behind, Connor gets a hold of a certain Eric Bittle the only way he knows how: utilizing the bar where they met as a post office to exchange letters penpal-style.

title is from "sending postcards from a plane crash (wish you were here)" by fall out boy, bc i'm hilarious

Trying to divine meaningful and fortuitous posting dates for my WIP Big Bang fic. So far, I've got

October 8: the 2nd anniversary of "Inverting the Pyramid of Success" (the episode where my main character begins his journey toward becoming The Friend who Tells You the Truths No One Else Will)

October 4: birthday of Nick Mohammed (actor who plays my main character; and real-life person who--god willing--will never, ever read this story)

September 18: birthday of Keeley Hazell (actor who plays my harried ingenue; and another real-life person I pray doesn't read my work)

October 6: a date that adds up to 16, which iirc was my uniform number on the one and only soccer team I played on (I was 4)

September 11: fic automatically not the worst thing to happen on that date

Open to suggestions from those with divining experience.

Junior: I admire you, Jake.

Jake: Really? Why?

Junior: You’re happy with who you are. You don’t get jealous of other people. Instead of being weighed down by ambition, you just float along like a dead body in a river.

Jake: I couldn’t just take the compliment. I had to ask why.
