Double time

It's #GivingTuesday, and the #ChristmasChallenge is on!

Dear All, We can’t believe it’s Advent already, and 2024 is drawing to a close. The last few months have been hectic for WWR and our staff. In October, we were forced to find a new property to rent for Glory House (Mahima Griha), so some of our ladies are now living in a new home. I’ll bring you up to date with everything that has occurred in our newsletter (the link is below). However, if you…

Child?!? SINGULAR? Nonono that won’t do. Jade already said we’re having twins 😫 plus do you really think he’d just stop when he could have a big family

Oh, he is such a family man!!! orz he's that annoying guy with the wallet full of pictures and he takes every opportunity to pull it out to show anyone who asks (most times they haven't asked) because he wants to dote on you and the children. He loves the idea of family and, admittedly, becomes much too greedy after each pregnancy. Magic helps make it possible and not nearly as strenuous, even more so if you do it the mer way, and he'll always have your best interests in mind when it comes to your health. <3 he just likes being a parent and making you a parent and having you depend on him to protect and provide for you when you're so gravid.

You'd think they'd have to tell Floyd to keep it in his pants, but it's actually Jade who is showing up to every family gathering with you, very pregnant and expecting, in tow. orz orz his appetite is insatiable and that doesn't just apply to food. T_T

The Process ✨

does kuroba have an assigned sanrio? possibly nana and hisoka too 👀?

hehe i was hoping i'd get this question!! i think sweetcoron would be a cute match for kuroba since he was born in a field of clovers and lotus, ( also he's super underappreciated despite being so precious. ) i also tried giving them a design to fit in with the sanrio matsu merch bc why the hell not?

big challenges is an honorary character assigned to kuroba, i feel like they'd like him since they really love reptiles. also, greem.

as for my other ocs, ( i decided to throw kuroba's siblings in here, too ) — corocorokuririn is a perfect match for nana to me, they have very similar vibes. for rika, i think my sweet piano is a good fit.

i actually had some trouble figuring out who'd be a good fit for hisoka, but since i assigned pochacco to keshiki, i think choppy, ( pochacco's best friend, ) would be cute for him.

any tips for writing bingmei pov?

oh jeez, i'm not sure i'm actually all that qualified to answer this question 😅💦

bingmei is... very difficult for me to write personally, so please take all this advice with a grain of salt. a large grain of salt. perhaps keep the entire salt shaker handy while you consider this advice, in fact. that being said, these are some things that i personally try to keep in mind when considering his character:

even as a disciple, he's not actually a pure white lotus - he still spent some long, formative years experiencing misfortune and bullying. from sqq's pov this is less visible, but from bingmei's pov this reflects on his thought process a lot. he isn't going to be blindly trustful, and his predisposition to be a bit of a schemer/borderline manipulative is still there, even if his goals are different. it's just the difference between pre-abyss manipulating the disciple roster so that he's the one always available to help out sqq VS post-abyss manipulating huan hua into being his biggest supporter.

in the abyss and up until sqq's self destruction, lbh's motivations are very much along the lines of "i can fix this, so long as i have the chance to, everything can go back to how it was before." if he can just prove himself to be a righteous cultivator by making a name for himself with huan hua, then sqq will no longer have an issue with lbh's heritage. if he can just get sqq to sit still and have one solid conversation with him, then surely sqq will understand lbh the way he used to. the more things go wrong and prove that it isn't so easy to go back to the way things used to be, the more frustrated lbh is, and the more willing he is to take drastic measures (going from slowly building a reputation for himself at huan hua to allowing sqq to be locked up in a horrible prison, for example).

personally, i attribute a lot of lbh's willingness to hurt sqq to xin mo. he's willing to take more drastic measures on his own, and some things that sqq considers 'harmful' are things lbh doesn't necessarily think of as actually hurting him - for example, forcing sqq to consume his blood parasites - but lbh is truly taken off guard when something he does results in sqq being harmed in a meaningful way. that being said, because lbh does still act on those things, i think it means one of two things: either lbh interprets xin mo's influences as his own impulses, or xin mo erodes his own ability to understand consequences. either of these can make for interesting narratives, so i go with "whatever works for the specific au i'm working on," usually.

dfjgh that was a lot of rambling lmao. i wish i had more solid tips, but for as long i personally am unsure how best to write bingmei, all i can offer are the things i try to keep in mind when characterizing him 😅

also, a final tip that is purely selfish and maybe not a hundddreeeeddd percent canon driven and instead motivated by my desires to see more bingwife in the world: #1 tip is to wife that boy up / have him pursue being shizun's pretty little wife 😌😌😌

Danyal Al Ghul doodle dumps from my Danyal Al Ghul Au. I was thinking about Him earlier today, and thus decided to draw him. Tis good headshape practice, and just drawing practice in general. You can spot the time difference not by the lighting but by the fact Danny suddenly has curls. Plus an honorary colored version because it twas one of my favorites

Mecha-Sonic, Dr. Robotnik has created other robots based on Sonic and thrown them away before he created you. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Whatever I am going through, I only need to keep my focus on my God and not my circumstances. Jesus will personally hold me up when I can’t go on another moment. He doesn’t do it because He has an obligation to me. He gives me His strength because He loves me. Always and forever. ✨️
