Work in Progress Wednesday

Hey all! Long time no WIPW. I moved recently and my creative juices have been running pretty low, but I’m settling in now.

I’ve been working (since before the move) on a series of small paintings for @monbons��s lovely fic, The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch. Each piece corresponds to a particular chronological point in the 42,000 word fic, highlighting inflection points in the titular character’s life experiences. Here, then, are the first 2 of a planned 5 painting set:

And a close up of the tiny Baz, pencil lead for scale:

And yes, all of the paintings are on old floppy disks! An explanation of my intentions for each after some no-pressure tags and hellos:

@monbons @rimeswithpurple @larkral @raenestee @youarenevertooold @simonsnowsfreckles @prettygoododds @roomwithanopenfire @ebbpettier and anyone else who’d like to post something but hasn’t been tagged yet!

Okay now, warning, spoilers for Eternal Life ahead:

The first piece shows Baz’s scene in the forest behind his childhood home, a variety of trinkets buried at the riverbed as his aunt had taught him. In the thin moonlight, the too-dark shadow of the darkness-called-Lamb stands in stark silhouette.

The second piece shows Baz sitting under a tree in a London park at dusk, reading. He is framed by peonies and gladioluses on either side. The odd-numbered peonies suggest love and a new beginning, but also hint at bad luck. The gladiolus variety I chose literally symbolizes “I will pierce your heart.”

I missed WIP Wednesday, but have a WIP anyways cuse I imagine this one is going to take me a minute….

Edit: if you are seeing this now, the final painting is on my profile! I’d love if you checked it out :)

On a personal note, my first semester of my masters is done! Proposal is submitted! Crazy how much has happened in such a short time.

wip wednesday

thanks to @dimplesandfierceeyes for the tag! and somehow i have managed to actually do it on wednesday lol

here's a snippet from a canon-divergent patpran fic, where the faculties are not enemies but the families still are, which i'm hoping to have the first chapter of done soon 🤞🏾:

But of course, now that Pat knows that Pran is at South Tech, living in the Tinidee dorms, he’s suddenly everywhere. He’s studying engineering, apparently, which is another piece of profoundly bad luck for Pran, because it means that they have a lecture together. Pran doesn’t know how, in their first few sessions, he hadn’t noticed Pat among the crowd of blue shirts who tend to sit on the other side of the hall from his faculty, but the next time they have that class, Pat makes a beeline for Pran and his friends after the lecture is over. “Pran!” he says, smiling. “Can’t believe I didn’t notice we were both in this lecture until now. It must be fate, huh?” “More like bad luck,” Pran mutters. His friends glance at him in surprise. Well, they have a right to be – they’ve probably never seen Pran be this rude with anyone. Pat notices their reactions, because of course he fucking does, and it only makes his smile grow wider. “Aren’t you going to introduce me?” he says. Pran glowers. “Pat.” “That’s my name!” Pat says cheerfully. “What’s yours?” he adds, looking at Louis. Louis blinks at him, caught off-guard. “Uh – Louis. And this is Safe, and Wai.” Wai and Safe nod politely at Pat, still looking bewildered. “How do you know Pran?” “Oh, I’ve known Pran all my life,” Pat says airily. “Our families are neighbors. We grew up together.” “Really?” says Wai, with interest. Damn him. “Pran never talks about his childhood.” Pat seems to falter a bit at that, throwing Pran a confused look, but he recovers quickly. “Oh, I have plenty of stories, if you ever want them,” he tells Wai with a grin, and that’s just about as much as Pran can take of this conversation. “No time, we have to get to our Design Studio class,” he says, curt, grabbing his stuff to make his exit. Pran’s friends scramble to follow him. “Nice to meet you all!” Pat says, waving, and Pran shoots him one last scathing look. “What’s your deal with that guy?” Wai asks once Pran’s slowed down enough for his friends to catch up. “Did he bully you or something?” Pran groans. “No, nothing like that,” he says, begrudgingly. “He’s just – annoying. It’s a long story.” “Well, he’s also pretty hot,” says Safe with a smirk. “If you don’t want him, I call dibs.” Pran’s stomach drops. What the fuck? He’s pretty sure that Safe is joking, especially from the way he’s now waggling his eyebrows, but apparently that’s not enough for Pran to keep his reaction off his face, because Safe blanches when he notices. “Or – not?” he says uncertainly. “Un-dibs, un-dibs.” That, unfortunately, only makes his friends look at him with even more curiosity, but they manage to refrain from asking. Pat, on the other hand doesn’t refrain from anything.

My new job has so much less downtime than my last one and I'm being slowly tortured right now as I'm brimming over with horny thoughts and ideas for scenes for the hardcore punk story but I don't have time to write bits down on my phone to email them to myself for later, or or making little doodles on post-its, or even really spend much time daydreaming about them and my brain might explode

Wednesday is my Edgerunners of late 2022

[ashdoesfandomarchieved]

anyway my final take away from wednesday (netflix) is that whole narrative around wednesday owing anyone anything was dumb as shit. girl rolled into town and literally told everyone she didn't want to be there an didn't want to make friends. some guy was like "you're giving me mixed signals" when the only signal she gave was "go away." her roommate and other ''friends'' made a huge deal about her being an awful friend when she didn't want to be friends with them in the first place.

like yeah wednesday wasn't a good person but she literally wasn't pretending to be. why tf was the narrative punishing her for living up to her own standards.

[90s-batfam-week]

'90s Batfamily Week Masterlist

Due to an overwhelming amount of support, we are excited to announce that '90s Batfamily week will be happening! All the information for the event can be found in this masterpost, so please read!

90s Batfamily week will be occurring from November 4th-10th, so mark your calendars!

The prompts will be the following: Monday, November 4th - No Man's Land // Found Family Tuesday, November 5th - Knightfall // Secrets Wednesday, November 6th - Batman the Animated Series // Undercover Mission Thursday, November 7th - The Long Halloween // Horror Movie

Friday, November 8th - Contagion // Long Nights Saturday, November 9th - Prodigal // Western Sunday, November 10th - Teammates // Angst

Purpose

We wanted to celebrate the exciting dynamic of the '90s batfam, and especially feature some characters who haven't been utilized in more modern batfam media. We hope to engage with a community of fans that are excited to create and pull from fun '90s tropes and media.

How it works

This is an opportunity for people who'd like to explore the '90s Batfam characters, dynamics, and relationships through a variety of prompts. Romantic ships are allowed, but please make sure the Batfam is the focus of your work. This fanweek will have a dedicated blog. These prompts are free for anyone to use. Because it is a non-traditional, non-monetized, and free-to-opt-in casual event, there will be limited mods, no advertising of paid services. I will open a collection on AO3 at the end of October for anyone who wants their work collected for this event.

Rules

This is a SFW (safe for work) event. As a loose rule, please keep your works PG-13. For those posting on tumblr, please follow the site’s guidelines. Please no batcest.

What can I contribute?

Fanart (standalones, comic strips, etc.), fanfiction (one-shots, multichapter, etc.), fanmixes, gifsets, graphics— and more!

Some Final Thoughts:

If you engage with any of the fanworks, please reblog! Share the work with your followers. Support your fellow creators.

For this event, as you post your work, please use the following tag so we can repost your work on our blog!

[hermitadaymay]

WELCOME TO HERMIT-A-DAY MAY!

A challenge inspired by Hermitober, but with a twist: instead of theme prompts, we focus on a specific Hermit every day!

THE RULES: There aren’t any! Participate as much or as little as you want, doing any type of fanwork you want, as long as it features or is inspired by the Hermit of the day! Use Wednesdays to catch up or do bonus challenges, which are explained below the cut. Tag your posts with #hermitaday to have them reblogged to the blog, or you can submit them directly!

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day 1 to those who only joined last season! And because challenges are fun.

WHO’S RUNNING THIS? Hi! My name is Luna! You can use she/her, he/him, or ze/hir pronouns for me. My main blog is @as-if-unreal.

BONUS CHALLENGE WEDNESDAYS

FAVORITE BUILD - May 3rd The Hermits have built a lot of wild stuff over the years. From cute starter bases to massive organic structures to groundbreaking redstone contraptions, they’ve put thousands of hours into their builds. Which one has inspired you?

FAVORITE “ALT” HERMIT - May 10th Evil clones, camera accounts, NPCs, and alter egos abound on and off the Hermitcraft server. Show your love for Renbob, Evil Xisuma, Helsknight, the Demise spirits, or any other characters the Hermits play on this day!

FAVORITE PET(S) - May 17th Scar wouldn’t be the same without Jellie. Joe wouldn’t be the same without his armies of dogs. From the in-game Gigapies chicken farm to the real-life friends we see on @mcyt-cats, animals play a big part in the Hermits’ lives! They deserve a day all their own!

FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 24th Hermitcraft doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The Hermits are constantly working on other projects with other amazing creators featured in the Life SMP, MCC, Empires SMP, and beyond. This is the day to appreciate all the cool friends from off-server that enrich the non-Hermitcraft content the Hermits make!

FREE SPACE - May 31st Got an idea that didn’t fit on another day? Want to wrap up the month with a big group photo? Inspired to make something for a Hermit after their day has passed? Get it all in on one final day!
