*clasps your shoulders gently and looks you straight in the eye*
Keferon. Please read Ninth by Kyn on AO3. I think you would love it very much. It has a large chapter count, but don't be intimidated, it's very easy to get into. It is currently unfinished, but is being updated regularly.
You are the seventh person that recommended this fic to me so ahahahaha yeah
Iā€™m doing great Help I hate some parts of it but I love the other parts Iā€™m spinning in the blender
ā€¦..I made the moodboardā€¦.
Tumblr media
#chapter 37#of 120 or something#I must be like 90k words in haha#large word count is not an intimidation. Itā€™s an invitation haha#I love the fics that I canā€™t read in just one hour:)#I gotta say I donā€™t enjoy the concept of making robots into organic life#itā€™s just my preference#seeing them as humans or animals or whatever feels so fucking wrong#the concept itself drives me off#like. Strongly#But at the same time. This fic isnā€™t about them being ā€˜haha cute organicsā€™#itā€™s ā€˜oh god. I was turned into something Iā€™m notā€™#instead of teeheee theyā€™re fluffy#itā€™s please free me from this fucking nightmare. please let me be myself again.#idk how to explain. I resonate I guess#it often feels very disturbing but the characters are also disturbed#So now Iā€™m kind of stuck reading this fic because I just canā€™t stop lol#just politely skipping the parts that make me too uncomfortable#also#the body horror isā€¦.damn. Impressive. I didnā€™t expect to read about grotesque fleshy creature turning itself inside out#itā€™s not even aesthetic or symbolic#it literally looks like a fucking nightmare. Which is impressive also.#the flesh is g r o s s#the beginning got me struggling and skipping#but the intermission is currently ruining my sleep schedule#oh fuckā€¦.I usually send my posts to the authors of the fics I readā€¦..but I feel like I might offend the author of Ninth if do thisā€¦ā€¦..#thereā€™s a tiny chance theyā€™re following meā€¦.if itā€™s true then I wanna tell Iā€™m sorry pls donā€™t take this seriously#your fic got me waay out of my comfort zone#huge points for writing Ratchet. Drift in this fic isā€¦the grossest fucking thing I could probably imagine but Ratchet doesnā€™t even hesitate#he helps him and he cares for him. Which isā€¦..imma be real my first instinct would be to set Drift on fire to end his misery

I was thinking about the dynamics between Danwu and Edwu happening at the same time.
Using the 100% canon compliant Danwu timeline as reference lol. None of this is actual canon. I am just thinking about the timeline of events.
The Edwu situationship goes crazy the more I think of it.
Like Eddie being Wuā€™s partner in crime against nature is like. Yea going off of the Danwu timeline, Daniel and Wu have known each other for a good while.
But likeā€¦ does Daniel know about Wu almost dying to the Scorpios? Does Daniel even know about the whole secret hybrid thing going on? He obviously doesnā€™t know a good bunch since his company recruited Sammy and whoever to get insider information.
I mean it would make sense that Wu would still keep things hidden from Daniel when it comes to his work. Especially his hybrids since heā€™s so attached to them. Heā€™s still competition, owning Mantahcorp and all.
But you know who was thereā€¦ you know who does know. Because heā€™s right there. Because heā€™s trusted.
A situationship born out of convenience and seeking comfort after nearly dyingā€¦

I never post about it here but since the one year anniversary of its conception was on July 5th i figured I'd post some drawings that i haven't shared here of my persona 4 older nanako AU
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The last two drawings are unfinished but i figured I'd post them anyway cuz i like them :3
The story is in a very vague state right now but if you have questions about any of this please ask......i would love to talk about this with people.
The fact that it's been a year since i started working on it is crazy to me and I've improved a lot in various ways. I wish i posted about it here more but because the story is in such an early stage (and also cuz my art isnt that great) i feel afraid to put it on my blog :,) hopefully I'll post about it more now though cuz i really wanna start on developing a much more comprehensive plot to this which posting about it might be the extra push i need.

Hello I stumbled across your profile and I just say I love your art style! I've gotta ask, how'd your develop it? And do you have any advice for someone who can't decide what they want their art to look like?
Thank you so much!
To be entirely honest, I don't feel like I truly "developed" my style. I feel a lot more like I finally let myself draw it! But I am incredibly deliberate with my work, and I do have clear tendencies and preferences... So I'll do my best to explain how I got to where I am now as an artist.
It's important to remember that "style" is something of a nebulous concept. It changes with you as you grow as a person, and most artists can work in and emulate many art styles! Art really is a form of communication with yourself, and your "style" is a reflection of the tendencies and preferences you have. My art does not look how it looked 5 years ago, and my art will look different 5 years from now too. I've changed, and my art reflects that!
(2012, 2018, 2023; two pieces I remember being incredibly proud of and considered my best work up til that point, and then my most recent piece)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What you need to do, as everyone will tell you, is study the fundamentals (anatomy, perspective, form and structure, lighting and shadow, color, and composition) so you have the proper tools to make the most informed decisions possible about your art, and so you can deliberately break or follow rules as you please for your desired effect. I know it sounds silly to learn rules if you're not gonna be following them anyways, but they help you be much more consistent and intentional! More knowledge is NEVER a bad thing to have!
However, I know it's a bit demoralizing to just be told to study fundamentals. Everyone knows you're supposed to do that, but it takes YEARS to learn, and people want their art to feel how they want it to now (which is very very very normal to want!)
So on that front, I have 2 follow up suggestions that I personally find helpful (of course, everyone is different, so it's not like this is the only way to learn! But, if it resonates with you, it might mean it will work for you too.)
1: Separate study from application
I believe this is beneficial for a few reasons:
If the goal of every piece is learning, it can become frustrating, overwhelming, and boring
It's harder to self critique when there are multiple variables to investigate. I like to study one fundamental at a time
Study (usually) works best with a large quantity of output, whereas application of knowledge (finished pieces) is often more satisfying and effective when you get to take your time
Deliberate practical application of what you've learned in a finished piece helps cement the learning in your mind, and also lets you get satisfying finished pieces with noticeable improvement after a good study session!
I've found that keeping these things separate helps me improve faster and more deliberately, and it takes a lot of the pressure off of both aspects! I'm not worried about my studies looking beautiful, they're just to learn! And I don't feel pressured to critique my finished pieces, cause they're just for fun and to make something pretty. I personally find this helps me have a much healthier relationship with my art.
When studying, copy! Copy things as best as you can, all the time. It gives you something to compare to for self critique (and of course, if you're copying someone else's work and you share the study, ALWAYS give credit, share the original, and say it was for study.) In application, don't copy: reference. Make it yours!
2: Let yourself do the things that feel "easy" or like "cheating"
This one is simpler: nothing in art is easy.
If something feels easy to you, most of the time it's not because it's actually any easier... It's because it's part of your natural tendencies and preferences! This took me forever to realize, but as long as you're actually doing some study, then you're learning. You don't need to learn All The Time. When you're doing the "application" portion, you should let yourself do whatever is actually the most fun and feels easiest! This is where your style will start to come through, and where you get to learn about yourself. Take the pressure off, and have fun!!!
The only cheating in art is theft. If you're not stealing, then it's allowed!
My whole life (and yes, still!) I'd get regular criticism about both my style and my subject matter. You will too. You'll see a thousand different styles, and a hundred different things to admire in each. Your heart will ache that you don't draw like others do.
But art is a form of communication with yourself. It's like your voice, or your accent; just something that's a part of you! It can be fun to mimic others', but when you sit to have a conversation you speak naturally. (I know some people want to and do change their voice, but this is a metaphor and metaphors aren't perfect)
Don't stress so much about what you want your art to look like, especially if you're not sure. There's a lot of value to be had in constant experimentation, I think it'd be rather boring to only draw one style the rest of my life. What I draw is what I want to see, right now, for who I am now! It's a part of me and comes naturally, if I let it!
I hope this helps!

2. digging your fingers into fresh dirt // renee walker, after lazarus
When Renee gets to the garden, her fingers are still stained with blood.
It had taken Abbyā€™s most soothing tone and Wymack doing a passable imitation of Aaronā€™s impatient candourā€”the same language as Wymackā€™s, but less heart-filled bluster, more blunt force traumaā€”to get Renee to leave the room. Sheā€™s still not sure she should have, but Abbyā€™s voice had been gentle when sheā€™d said, this isnā€™t like Matt. Giving him something to believe in will come later.
Renee doesnā€™t know if sheā€™s ever seen Abby so angry and horrified. Itā€™s worse than how she looked at Kevinā€™s injuries, that very first night. Itā€™s worse than how she looked at Neil, both times, after the Nest and after his father. Itā€™s almost as devastated, Renee thinks, as the way she looked when she held Allison tight to her chest that first night after Seth.
Wymack is better at holding his expressions in check, but Renee knows him. There had been a tremor in his knuckles when he opened the passenger car door. Heā€™d gotten it under control fairly quickly, to his credit, but Renee had noticed.
Renee had thought, I am not the only one who must draw on all my reserves to keep steady.
She breathes out, then in, as if the smell of growth in the world around her can flush through her body. When she was a second year, Seth had taken a biology class with Dwayne. It had nothing to do with either of their majorsā€”she remembers Juan making some sort of joke about growing pot, and Seth elbowing him with a sidelong glance at Allison, who had rolled her eyes and told them both that she thought theyā€™d be lucky to keep a fake plant alive in the shithole they called a dormā€”but Seth had liked it better than anyone had expected, occasionally offering up things he found interesting from the units on horticulture.
There had been a joke about photosynthesis once, something that had been mostly earnest information, but he hadnā€™t been able to resist throwing in some teasing at the end, always trying to make Allison laugh. Renee feels a sudden wave of indescribable, quiet grief when she realises she canā€™t remember how his joke had gone.
There are four plants to her left, still in the plastic pottles you buy them in at the store. Renee remembers Abby talking about a sale a few weeks ago, and wonders if these are those same plants. Itā€™s been a demanding few weeks, she thinks. Life is often unkind to those that cannot move of their own accord.
Sheā€™s not really thinking about it when she walks over and picks them up. She puts them together, two by two, and squeezes her fingers around two pottles per hand. There are probably gloves somewhere; a trowel too, maybe.
Renee does not care.
Kneeling down at the edge of the garden, thereā€™s a patch with looser soil than the rest. It is poor behaviour, she thinks, to start messing around with Abbyā€™s things without asking permission first, but Renee does not have the space in her yet to hold back. Abby will forgive her, which is not an acceptable reason to do something, but Renee is so angry. She spent her whole night transforming terrified grief into determination and a plan, and then the six-hours-and-then-some drive from Castle Evermore back home with nothing in her mind but Jean. The impossibiity of him.
The impossibility of him still being alive. The impossibility of her getting there in time, and even thatā€™s still to be determined. The impossibility of how much she aches, looking at him and thinking about him and praying for him. Four hundred miles on the I-77, and all she could do was pray.
It was a very human thing, Renee thinks, to walk into Evermore to get him out. Stephanie had been proud of her, and Abby had called her brave, and Andrew had looked at her with that innate knowledge of someone who understood what it meant to take someone under their wing, and absolutely none of their thoughts and love and understanding change the fact that Renee walked into Castle Evermore with more fear than faith.
She digs. One hand into the soil, then the next. There is blood on her fingers still, beneath the nails. Part of Renee has the uncharitable thought that she hopes itā€™s Zaneā€™s, stray flecks from when she punched him. More of her accepts that itā€™s Jeanā€™s. She does not know when it is from: when she first knelt at his side on Rikoā€™s bedroom floor, when he was carefully settled into her car, when she and Wymack lifted him into Abbyā€™s house, when she sat beside him and held his hand as those broken, wounded sounds ripped their way from his throat and drove right into her heart, piercing it through, over and over, just as the way the ugliest part of her, buried beneath therapy and anger management and the most wilful calm she has ever had to cloak her body in, wishes it could do to Riko.
Jeanā€™s blood beneath her fingernails, spattered across her hands, buried into the soil. Sheā€™s planting a flower she does not know the name of, and all she hopes for is that Jean will bloom.
Please, she prays, tugging the roots apart with a care and precision she did not feel capable of two hours ago, listening to Jeanā€™s screams. Please, she prays, pressing the plant into the soil, cupping her hands together to scoop the dirt, helping it settle into its new home. Please, she prays, patting down the soil, warm earth meeting her palms like a balm.
Please, she prays. Stephanie says you are not done with him yet. She was right about me. Thank you for getting us this far. Please. Please. Please.
ā€œRenee?ā€
Itā€™s Abbyā€™s voice, exhausted and haunted and utterly wrecked. She still manages a wan smile when Renee looks up at her. Abby doesnā€™t seem to notice that Renee has been co-opting her garden, or maybe sheā€™s too raw to care.
ā€œYou can come back in now,ā€ she says, like she knows itā€™s both a gift and punishment at once.
Renee nods, then stands, brushing the dirt off her trousers. She looks at Abby as she approaches, trying to choose her words. To ask how he is would only invite more sadness; to ask if heā€™ll live betrays how deep her fear has run.
ā€œIā€™m sorry,ā€ she says in the end, quiet but sincere. ā€œThat must have beenā€¦ very difficult.ā€
The look Abby gives her is brief, but pained. ā€œHe breaks my heart as much as any of you,ā€ she says, quickly, fervently, ā€œbut that is never a thing to apologise for.ā€ Abby looks so sad. It makes Renee ache, but this is not the type of thing she can wipe away. ā€œThank you for bringing him here,ā€ Abby says, and Renee feels rocked with it.
ā€œThank you for letting me,ā€ she says in return, and neither of those are entirely what they mean, but it is enough. Renee will always walk into Castle Evermore to save Jean, and Wymack and Abby will always open the door when she arrives in South Carolina. There is no version of this story, Renee thinks, where they follow any other script.
This is what it is to be Foxes, after all.
ā€œHeā€™s still not quite himself,ā€ Abby says. There is a part of Renee that finds this sentence amusing; Abby has never met Jean, not truly, only from Kevinā€™s stories. More of her is somber. She knows what Abby means. ā€œBut I think heā€™ll feel ā€” perhaps only marginally, but I think heā€™ll feel more at ease having you beside him. Iā€™ve done what I can, for now, and there will be more medication and treatment and dressing of his wounds, much more before the night is through, let alone before he is recovered, but ā€”ā€ She exhales, long and low. ā€œHe is alone, and in pain. We canā€™t do much more about the second one. But he can have you back.ā€
Renee nods, setting her jaw as Abby steps back to allow her through.
ā€œThen he shall have me until I am no longer needed,ā€ Renee says, and thinks, and perhaps some time longer after that.
Abby gives her a careful look. ā€œThat could be a very long while,ā€ she says, but she does not offer any sort of objection.
ā€œThatā€™s okay,ā€ Renee says. ā€œI donā€™t mind waiting.ā€

You ever just want to talk about Bertl,
#i  .   ooc  .#The tags got so long just warning U now!#OK I know his appearance wasn't the longest but like. I'll never stop talking about him because he doesn't get enough credit? rip.#I know it's not really relevant any more because post-timeskip everyone is a lot better but. Referring to everyone's skill as of pre.#Reiner said Bertolt was the strongest of all of the shifters but he held himself back. He came 3rd without giving his all. Or really trying#I hc he held himself back to try not to let too much of his strength show bc people forget he had military training b4 joining the 104th.#And ofc. Also to not bring too much attention to himself bc of who he really is???#The way he mastered his Titan straight away and also has such a good handle on it.#Out of the 3 shifters he was the one that stayed true to the mission. Despite his reluctance he's got the strength and commitment.#People are so quick to say he relies on Reiner too much. And while he does at times. Reiner relies on him just as much if not more. Even if#Reiner doesn't realise it. Bertolt keeps him on track and has no one supporting him at all.#In COTT arc... U see him dodge Mikasa who is an Ackerman and seen as one of the strongest characters in the series...#And the same in RTS. Everyone gets too distracted by Mikasa to actually pay attention to how he dodges her 4 times?? Even tho she attacks#from behind? And the way he lands a hit on her. I just *screams*. I love how many times she tries to kill him. lol#How effective he is when he abandons his guilt and this is sort of irrelevant but. It's so special to me because as someone who is#a quiet person irl round people I don't know well. Who has it brought up a lot. I just adore when a character that remains in the#background just comes out and says enough is so hhhhh I know his reasons aren't good BUT RTS BERT... AH.#Also gotta talk about his marksmanship skills in a thread at some point?? Maybe Mp bert I J UST..#Anyway I might do a cheeky revamp of graphics n icons and that. Dunno yet. Need to actually write that'd be good lol.#This account is a lovebot didn't U know.
