How do you write tension so well? I noticed it in your one shot and parts of your royalty fic !
Thank you! That's kind of you to say.
I don't think I write it *so* well, but more like I drag it out. I'm not fazed by much anymore due to the nature of my job and life experiences I've been through.
For me, it's important to build-up certain aspects, so you can get to the explosive parts. I've honed in on longing and yearning and wanting things all my life. When I've had a bite of something, all I want to do is devour it. I have an appetite. But if that appetite is too easily satiated, then it's boring. The reward doesn't taste as sweet (to me, at least).
You know what does? Being deprived. It's counter-intuitive I know.
Be it pleasure or winning or attaining something, it's only delectable if I can't have it. If the chocolate is just out of reach, almost within my grasp...well it's even better when all of that pays off.
Writing tension is a dance. The reactions. The sudden movements. The clumsiness. All valid ways of ramping it up while getting just a taste. I live for illustrating the growing intensity of wanting something...but the danger of never being able to have it is so real.
And that's a real threat.
That's how I'm able to write it.

All the Danny Phantom artists who draw Danny with lichtenberg figures should, logically, also draw Vlad with acne scars, but they won’t. The world isn’t ready for that yet.

Honestly a big reason for why I don’t get over shit as quickly as I can is because I can’t fucking stop talking about it. And by that I mean I’ll quietly resolve w myself that I’m over something or something, and then in my typical indecisive nature I’ll either ruminate on it hours later or vent about it w a friend. I hadn’t realized how powerful just TALKING about something bothering you was until now. Even if you’re close to getting over something, just verbalizing that it bothers you can bring you 3 steps back. Yeah processing emotions is important, but the moment that’s done I need to actually be firm w myself about moving on. Like it’s done. We’re over it. We’re not gonna waver when someone asks us how we’re dealing w it. We will not complain about it unnecessarily. We simply keep it pushing

I’m laying at the foot of the bed waiting for the bathroom and Leeloo was perplexed that I wasn’t in the accepted bedtime position. But she’s a social creature and made it work by laying on my face.

cant stop thinking about how elation might have played out if:
a) marinette did not repeatedly refer to herself as a "fan" but rather a friend, since they have been through a lot together and have hung out and gone to the movies. and she has also yelled at him angrily multiple times, unlike any other starstruck fan he's ever met
b) andré ran a normal business and just like. served the customers who approach his cart lol

so i started by looking through the 2009 all star blogs and have finally hit the 2014 oly*mpics and :
this is so funny and confirms my silly tag:
the idea of insanely tall geno trying to hide behind anybody is adorable and obviously would work about as well as covering your eyes to block out the sun but the description of geno just:
awwwwwwwwww ;_;

Toska, the Elemental Spirit of Solitude
The draft and sketch has been sitting as a wip for MONTHS and only now I managed to draw Atropa's soulally!!!!! He went through tons of changes from the early draft because I was so lost but at the end I did it✨
His element is darkness btw
Also lore tidbits under the read more!!
Toska, the Elemental Spirit of Solitude, oddly enough was attracted to the anomaly known as "Miss Lebedeva" (how odd, he knows her name, the old name, yet it never managed to be vocalized nor thought about). A mess of a soul, he would say. It was colorless, soundless, and most especially not attuned to any elements of Lore. It was just ... empty.
But there's something residing deep within her soul. Tied to a bound, it seems. But how whoever that being is harmonized with the lady that currently known as "Commander Atropa", Toska was left in awe.
Maybe it's the fact that she doesn't fit in. Maybe it's the fact that she seems to be just a lone, empty soul. Maybe it's the fact that she was what Toska would thought as "solitude" itself.
Who knows.
Toska still adores this lady known as the Vessel of Misfortune.
