#I might make a sideblog for my art ngl

[nocaffeineforlevi]

Hhhh have a Nine

[monscrow]

intro post, i guess!!!

last updated 15/nov/2024

⚠️flash warning for blinkies at the bottom⚠️

free gaza, free palestine, stop genocide. you don't agree? block me.

i go by both mons and crow.

my pronouns are they/them, he/him and any neos/xenos that you think would fit either comedically or off of vibes.

lvl 16, so, a minor !! beware

aromantic, graysexual, something like that; qprs are sick asf and all hail relationship anarchy.

art sideblog is @monscrowarts

super amazing pretty boyfriend !!!<3 🍎

audhdcd (asd + adhd + ocd 😻😋) and hEDS. i use tonetags, feel free to ask for clarification!!!

bday is oct 7. 🎉🎉🎉

i'm mexican 🇲🇽!! i speak both spanish and english.

timezone is cst/utc-6.

i say slurs i can reclaim (mainly the f and t queer ones) and swear a lot, though if that makes you uncomfortable please either block me or lmk so i can try to tone it down when around you.

i love interacting!! feel free to tag me in stuff, send some asks (be it on anon or not), or message me! moots can ask for my discord even if we've never actually talked before. though i suck at keeping consistent, nothing personal i promise</3 /gen

i tend to spam-reblog so do with that information what you will.

some tags you might see me use here and there:

#mons rambles ← just my thoughts, ideas, opinions, and whatever i feel like throwing into the tumblr void.

#ask a crow / #anon asks ← askbox replies.

#save / #art save / #fav / #hellsite faves ← these are more for myself, but yeah they're pretty self-descriptive. just in case you get curious or anything.

#🍎 ← beloved.

hyperfixations/interests/things i'm passionate about !!! i guess, kinda

→ mcr (+ most of the members' solo projects)

→ killjoys (california + national anthem, but mainly calif and fanon)

→ demolition lovers lore (i have literally written like at least three different essays about it for school help me i'm so serious)

→ emo/alt/diy culture

→ will wood

→ bandom in general

→ graphic design, arts and crafts, illustration (that's right y'all graphic design IS my passion 😔)

→ fnaf

→ cosplay/costume-making

→ d&d

→ crows (no way, crow, really???)

→ australian shepherds

→ the umbrella academy (s4 isn't canon in my heart + currently reading the comics !!! )

→ gravity falls

→ neurodivergencies/psychology/disabilities (this one's pretty meta ngl)

→ lgbtqia+ identities (emphasis on the aroace-spec ones + relationship anarchy)

→ politics/activism

→ linguistics + conlangs

→ fantasy in general (high fantasy, magic, vampires, tieflings, you name it)

→ boardgames

→ the count of monte cristo (2024) (also i just bought the book so i'll be reading that too !!)

→ parkour civilization

→ uhhhh there's more but i don't remember rn, i'll keep adding as i see fit (probably... maybe..... perhaps....... quizás........ puede ser..........)

dni

trump supporters, terfs, transphobes, anti lgbtqia+/queerphobics, exclusionists, ableists, racists, prolifers/antichoicers, proshippers/anti-antis, irl gore, pro-israel/zionists, pro-ai generated "content", pro-nft, non-critical media consumers, classists, ed blogs, sh blogs.

also, i'm aware that dnis tend to not be effective and i probably will still get shitty ppl in my inbox so i can and will block. though i'm p chill as long as you're chill. this blog is run by a very neurodivergent, mentally ill, mexican, transmasc, aroace faggot, and any kind of bigoted hatred will not be tolerated.

blinkies made with blinkies cafe !!!

pssst btw, before you go, if you read my intro post i'd heavily encourage you to like it, so i can know!!! :] (/nf though!)

[russenoire]

was gonna reply on my art sideblog, but i'll reply on main instead. chances are good that you've figured some of this out already by now, @basicallyjaywalker!

-what do the different settings like "burn, overlay, saturation" mean when using tools? How can I use them?

the meaning of these tools would take longer to describe than demonstrate... the best way to figure them out and how to use them is to play around with them yourself! most of the settings refer to aspects of color theory or photography effects, and the knowledge of what they're meant to emulate isn't necessary to use them effectively.

-how do you add shadows/highlights to faces and bodies? How do you judge where you need them?

this is also a deep, deep topic, and there are a ton of resources available on how to draw/paint effective shadows and highlights, but this knowledge mostly comes from paying closer attention to objects in real life. pick something mundane in your home--an egg, a pair of glasses, your hand--and place it on a flat surface in front of a window during daylight hours. then take a look at it under an overhead light. you'll see light and dark areas on the object itself, as well as the shadows it casts; and they will shift depending on the light's source and the object's position.

-what were the best resources you had starting out?

my own body, and big emotions i couldn't make sense of otherwise. when i was a child, i used my body parts as references and channeled the pain and confusion i felt into drawings. (i no longer have any of these, else i'd share them here.)

later in my life, i found robert oliver's the sketch and dr betty edwards' drawing on the right side of the brain super useful. i highly recommend these books to you too.

-tips for drawing hair (esp textured/wavy/coils)? 4 of my OCs have wavy or curly hair and ngl I had to stop drawing tonight bc I got lost trying to do one of their hair

simplify, simplify, simplify. and then simplify some more.

every head of hair has an overall shape (or shapes!) to it: a sphere? a cone? a collection of springs? or it might remind you of something: a bunch of grapes? bubbles? flames? get down to that and start with the outline of the shapes you see. then you can draw some curly, springy, wavy shapes to suggest what the rest of the hair looks like; this basic suggestion is often all you need to communicate the message. knowing how much detail to include is a useful skill to have, and it can save your wrists. here's a couple of examples from my own work of what i'm talking about.

i kinda feel like a hypocrite here, 'cause several of my drawings involve what looks like an attempt to capture Every. Single. Hair. but this was a deliberate stylistic choice i made. it also looks far more complicated than it was for me to draw.

-what kinds of practice exercises can I do to improve?

some people find drawing three-dimensional boxes or flat planes from different angles helpful. others have benefited from learning different models for drawing heads, or studying anatomy and doing quick sketches of posed human bodies. these exercises *work*.

but it all depends on where you want to improve, really. improvement will come with time whether or not you chase it for its own sake... as long as you keep making art. i didn't learn how to paint my lineart until last year; my desire for more color in my work is what drove my learning process. your process may not look like mine.

hope all this helps, OP!

General question for the artists here!: recommendations for improvement? Im trying to devote myself too and get better at digital art (and physical but that's on the back burner) but I feel so lost, here's what I've got so far

-what do the different settings like "burn, overlay, saturation" mean when using tools? How can I use them?

-how do you add shadows/highlights to faces and bodies? How do you judge where you need them?

-what were the best resources you had starting out?

-tips for drawing hair (esp textured/wavy/coils)? 4 of my OCs have wavy or curly hair and ngl I had to stop drawing tonight bc I got lost trying to do one of their hair

-what kinds of practice exercises can I do to improve?

Thank you in advance!! Since most of the art I make is going to be Ninjago related I will probably be sharing it to here as well but I want to improve more before I share :3

[rainbowdelicsunshine]

got tagged by @pencil-amateur to do a tag game and I'm actualy pretty happy to do so!

1. why did you choose your url: My overall online penname is both a combo of the words "Rainbow" and "Psychedelic". Thus: RainbowDelic! I add words to the end of this depending on my needs (for example my art blog is called RainbowDelicArtz cuz, well, I post my art there)!

2. any sideblogs? I currently use this one (a personal blog), my art blog, my art blog, and my writing/headcanons/rambling blog. I have a Danganronpa sprite edit blog and a kin help blog that I don't really use anymore, but are still free to look at (might use my sprite edit blog again one day,,,,,). I also used to have several RP and ask blogs that flopped!

3. how long have you been on tumblr: Oh man..... I think since I was, like, 14 or 15 when I made my very first one (which is long gone now)

4. why did you originally start your blog: I really LOVED the MLP ask blogs that were coming out at the time and loved how the inbox system seemed to work at the time, so I joined originally as an attempt at an ask blog (it flopped lol)!

5. why did you choose your icon: For this blog, I chose Karin Kokubu for Tonde Burin for March since she's one of my all time favorite magical girls!

6. why did you choose your header: For on here, I just really love fruit!

7. what’s your post with the most notes: For my art blog it's this one! (as of typing it has a total of 113 notes)

8. how many mutuals do you have: I don't really know since I'm not good at keeping track of those kinds of things (sorry!) But I think I at least have 7-10 of them

14. how do you feel about “need to reblog” posts: Meh..... not into it!

15. do you like tag games: I like them, they're fun!

16. do you like ask games: Man I LOVE doing ask games, they're always so interesting and fun to answer them and keep myself distracted via my inbox! I just get them very often whenever I do reblog them

17. which of your mutuals do you think are tumblr famous: Not really sure about that and I don't really care to know the answer ngl

18. do you have a crush on a mutual: Very small ones but since I don't talk to people on a regular basis much, I'm not really at the point of crushing hard on anyone atm. I'm trying to take things slow and let things come when its time

19. tags: Anyone can do this if they want but I shall tag @majobun @stupidsunny-d and @jenniferlovesthebeatles

[foryouthegays]

[canonlucidia]

Answer the questions and tag 11 people you want to know better!

I got tagged to do this by both @figlasagna for this blog and @obeyme-life on @morningstar-descended. Since I’m the same person on both, I figured I’d do this only once & on this blog haha since it’s more general.

1. What do you prefer to be called namewise?

Just Bee is fine. c: I don’t have a lot of nicknames. mostly i just get called a bunch of pet names

2. When is your birthday?

December 24th, which makes me an Capricorn lol

3. Where do you live? (You can just give the country’s or state name if you’re not comfortable with sharing the city name)

I live in the state of VT, USA

4. Three things you are doing right now?

Listening to Music, working on my ask queue for Lucifer’s Blog, chilling

5. Four fandoms that have your peak interest right now?

Obey Me

Mo Dao Zu Shi

Tian Guan Ci Fu

hhhhh Naruto’s always running in the bg, unfortunately

6. How has this pandemic been treating you?

Bad ! Lol. I lost the job that I loved & the omnipresent fear has been getting to me lately

7. A song you can’t stop listening to right now?

Brutus by the Buttress is kinda stuck in my head ngl

8. Recommend a movie

Trolls 2. No I am not kidding.

9. How old are you?

25-- which makes my previous answer look a lil stupid bUT LISTEN... it’s... it’s good, okay? The art is phenomenal, they didn’t lose the charm of the jerky way the characters are animated in the first one, the story is actually complicated and tackles a lot of complex issues without chickening out on taking a hard stance...

10. School, university, occupation or other?

Other I guess rn, since I’m still job searching

11. Do you prefer heat or cold?

Cold! If it gets any hotter than 72 degrees F I start to die.

12. Name one fact about you that others might find unusual

I’m the shortest in my household & also the physically strongest.

13. Are you shy?

I don’t think so, but I’m not also outgoing either I’d say. I just kinda do my own thing haha

14. Do you have preferred pronouns?

Doesn’t everyone have pronouns they prefer to be called? (They/Them)

15. Biggest pet peeves?

Dishes getting left outside the sink

realizing I made a typo well after a post has been made & it’s too late to edit it so I just have to live w/ the knowledge that it’s out there

Being told how I feel about something / what I meant by something

16. What is your favourite “-dere” type?

Kuudere ! hands down. Although I’m always a sucker for a Tsun

17. Rate your life  1-10. 1 being crappy, 10 being amazing.

In total or just right now? total wise I’d say 7. rn maybe a 5.

18. What is you main blog?

@polyworth is my main blog haha

19. List your side blogs and what they are used for.

oh dear god alright

@canonlucidia - obey me sideblog

@morningstar-descended - Lucifer Ask & RP blog

@lovelyichor - personal aesthetic blog

@recibees - blog I use to save recipes on lmao

like 4 different aesthetic inspo blogs for different projects

and a bunch more that I don't really use for much but I refuse to delete anyway gdsjkd

20. One thing you think people should know about you before they become your friends?

I’ve been in fandom for too long so I have a lot of hard lines I don’t cross / don’t entertain anymore. Overall I’m very relaxed abt it, & I’ll never come at anyone aggressively in conversation, but there’s lots of stuff I won’t like... deal w/ anymore lmao I’m just too old to want to debate haha

Tags!

@luciferswerthersorginals & @indiavolojones are my victims this time

[samuraisharkie]

results are in! I’m ngl I might do a compromise and do both. I’ll post art here and also on an art sideblog in order to make sure my shit doesn’t get buried forever. also NONE of you explained ur answer tsk tsk

[dojaeism-archived]

Ah, don't fret it asfhgkshj I hope you're feeling better after that not-exactly-a-break-but-a-break anyways! Ooh, is the same as Socio-cultural anthropology? I've found it quite intimidating for some reason but sociology along with it are both such interesting disciplines, maybe that's because it has to do with behavioural cycles; thus is close to Psychology in a way - ❄️

ive been trying to put these under a cut but i dont think they’re working ;-;

Wow your brain is incredible! I never liked theories in either Physics or Math but the practical parts and numerical analyses were always my strong point... Bio + Chem both made much more sense than any law or theory I have ever studied during the few years I had with Physics haha Ah, ok; I was confused as to whether it applied to blinding pink alone or other striking colours too! - ❄️

It was rather relaxing, and I used to be so happy if anyone complimented mine ;-; Oh, I did enjoy cooking/baking & drawing but other things I've taken up this year are gif-making + learning French because quarantine had me bored to no end 😂 I've still got a while before I start going to college so I'm also writing quite a bit these days! - ❄️

Mario Kart XD I think I'll give thought to that but omg you play Genshin? That's such a cool idea to play with, so many directions this crossover could go to! Oh god, how can one drink so much coffee? I like it too but you're on another level sjsjsjsjsjsj (pst, Uni; stop being so hard on her!) My day has been fluctuating too much for my liking; one moment it's good the next something just ruins it but I've been okay~ you too 🥺 have a wonderful day/night! - ❄️

im putting the asks all together as its easier to answer like this and i dont wanna clog my dash haha but hello!! i wouldnt say im feeling better, unis still kinda crazy rn but i managed to reschedule all my classes into the same few days so hopefully it’ll be better!! i hope you’ve been keeping well 💗

and yes, social anthropology is the same as socio-cultural anthropology but its just a different name i suppose. it is kinda intimidating, in the sense where there’s always a million different aspects of something to think about and to consider whenever you’re talking about anything, nothing is ever just as it is which gets a little frustrating sometimes bc its soooo open-ended haha but its definitely super interesting because of that! and you’re right, it’s super close to psychology too! a lot of my mates do like... soc. anthro with psychology or choose psych modules bc it ties in a lot with the main module, which is really cool! i think psychology is super interesting too, and some days i really wish i’d chosen it as a major instead hahaha

but omg noo my brain isnt incredible, i just really enjoy maths and so physics naturally as well, i wouldn’t say chem and bio were difficult subjects for me, but i just found them so boring compared to the rest that i never wanted to try 😭😭

oh i’d love to see some of your art someday! (not sure how that’d work but im sure its amazing welp) and you like to cook/bake?? that is sooo cool, do you have any fav dishes to make? i used to be a complete hazard in the kitchen before going off to uni, i literally didnt know how to do anything but boil water lmao but turns out that living alone forces you to learn a loooot, and im actually a p good cook now hhhehe and omg!!! i picked up gif-making in the summer bc of quarantine too 🤣 do you mostly gif exo only? i have like 6 different sideblogs so im always a mess abt giffing people hahaha how’s learning french going? mon français est si mauvais que c'est embarrassant 😅 and wow, when do you start college? 

ngl tho, i know absolutely nothing about mario kart, gaming in general is Not my forte unless you’re talking FIFA (literally the ONLY game i know how to play LOOOL) but yeah i recently started genshin bc my sister plays it and i was just sooo bored (if ur in the europe server, hmu!) but idk, i think it might be a genetic thing tho bc my dad doesnt drink anything but coffee (literally never seen him drink anything else my whole life) haha

i hope things calm down soon!! its so hard to keep up when things keep fluctuating, so for your sake i hope they get better 🥺🥺 take care of your health, and don’t stress abt things too much! <3

[bleakishblooky]

so, my old rules were ridiculously long, so I’m gonna try my best to make it shorter. TL;DR in bold

THE BASICS:

　• This is a multiship blog! All relationships are put under a separate verse unless otherwise stated, so in other words, my muse is not cheating on your muse if they are indeed shipped.

　• Semi-selective but not mutual-exclusive.

　• Mun ≠ Muse

　• This blog does accept random asks, anonymous asks, and magic anons. I reserve the right to not answer certain asks or magic anons for whatever reason, however.

　• This blog is OC friendly!

　• This blog is multiverse and same-muse friendly

　• Please don’t be a rude person. No god-modding, being a dick, pestering for replies (because I do have a life outside of tumblr and roleplaying), force-shipping, etc etc.

　• Robot Napstablook is my main muse here, but I do roleplay different versions/AUs of them, such as Underswap (one of my favorites to write, ngl), Underfell, and… swapfell I believe? If you want to interact with the other muses, please let me know and I’ll be happy to plot or write a starter!

　• I can roleplay smut, but mun and muse must be 18+. I won't be roleplaying smut on this blog, but I will have a sideblog where I'll rp and draw such content. If you are 18+, please feel free to dm me and I will throw you the link! Suggestive themes on this blog will be tagged with "suggestive tw" (please check out the rules of my 18+ sideblog for more details)

　• I’m fine with writing violence, angst, and overall dark themes. However, I do not like eye horror and imagery of needles poking things. I will tag triggering content as “___ tw”

　• If you need me to tag anything, please let me know!

　• The mun does have triggers. The only thing I could think of that could apply is to please not use the word “demented”, “dementia”, or “senile” around me! No need to tag it in other roleplays if I follow, I just ask for the reminder in threads between us. If for some reason any of my other triggers do come up in roleplay, I will let you know that I can’t write certain content and may need us to work around or edit a reply.

　• I like talking through the IM system, but I do not rp there.

Quick FAQ things

　• Can I reblog your art? Yep! In fact, I have an art blog here at hannatokki, please feel free to check out more of my artwork there! I’m more active on twitter these days though, so feel free to check me out here as well!

　• Can I reblog your headcanons? Yep, I don’t mind! I also don’t mind comments or feedback on them – in fact, I love hearing other people’s thoughts and whatnot!

　• Can I reblog your roleplays? Nope, it’s a bit rude and I’m personally not comfortable with it.

　• Can I repost your art? That is a very hard nope.

　• Can I use your art? Depends on the scenario, ask me. If it’s for roleplaying a robot Napstablook, for example, I will say no because I created their current design. But if you want to use it as a cover or visual for music or other media, I might say yes as long as there is credit back to either this roleplay blog or my art blog. Again, run it by me.

　• Can I reblog your drabbles/fics/ic status posts? Yeah sure, I personally love it if people share that and I enjoy feedback as well!

　• Do you have a discord? Yes, but I only give those out to mutuals.

　• Why is Napstablook a robot here? I like robots, bruh. What else can I say

[builder051]

Survey says...

Ok, time for a little (jk, intensely long) debrief on the survey results.

I’m glad you guys like the writing-to-art balance I have going right now.  I’m gonna keep it up.

I’m glad you’re cool with the life updates too.  I’ll keep up the surface level/important stuff kind of posts I’m doing now.  If you want more detailed mouthing off/journal-style meditations on my life (mainly my transition), you can follow my sideblog @my-wayward-son.

I had a feeling most of you were here for the fanfic, but there’s a solid number here for the OCs as well.  That’s awesome.

Your favorite OC group is Casa Deangles-Carson.  They come out way on top, and everyone else is pretty equal in terms of popularity.  I’m loosely organizing an arc for them, but I don’t have a ton of ideas.  I plan on rotating groups and churning out about 1 OC fic per week.  I have longer arcs planned for H and P (ofc, they’re still pregnant) and Jax Beach.

I’m pleasantly surprised you guys like the slice of life fics so much, and that helps a lot with moving the characters forward.  Sickfics are my fave too, but there’s a different kind of character development that can happen without whump as a factor.

You guys are split pretty equally about whether you’d enjoy a Troy backstory novel.  A lot of you are undecided, and I’ll poll you again when it gets closer to November.  I’m tentatively thinking I’ll split the difference and go ahead and take the time off to work on the book, but maybe open short drabble requests on weekends to keep up my content presence (I’ll still be around for headcanons and random chatter throughout the month).  I’d probably post the finished book on AO3 once it’s done and edited, so you’ll get to enjoy the completed project for free and within a few months of completion, if that sways your thoughts at all.

You’re also split pretty evenly about introducing Kris and Khalil.  I think what I’m going to do is let them pop out a little bit more in H and P’s arc, and maybe bring them out with a solo fic and character information around December after you’ve had a chance to see them in action as side characters.

As for fanfic, Spider-Man is predictably the favorite.  You also seem to really like Stucky, Iron Man, and Daredevil (that one’s really surprising; those fics get low notes and I get very few DD prompts).

Criminal Minds has a slightly smaller but extremely loyal and vocal following, which I’m well aware of (and I’m sorry I put Spencer on the back burner so much).

Black Panther is also pretty up there, which is super awesome, and the ladies (Nat and Jess) have small yet solid popularity as well.  There’s some interest in Loki, but ngl, I have a hard time writing him, so I’m not sure how often he’ll pop up.  But if you have short drabble prompts for him, send them my way because you never know when something’s going to light a spark.

I don’t think anyone knows what Titan A.E. is, and that’s ok.  I’d flip my shit if I ever got a Cale prompt (but I’d looove it).

I’m going to keep up mostly the status quo in terms of content and themes (it’s what you guys seem to like, and it’s what I like).  So that means a lot of emeto, some fevers and other illness, migraines, motion sickness, and angst/depression take center stage with some injury and other mental health/ED stuff on the side.

RE: writing eating disorders, I figured there were a good number of you who don’t prefer that content.  I totally respect that, and I realize I’m taking a risk when writing it.  It’s a pretty big part of the canon for some of my OCs and fandom characters in the ‘verses I’ve created, so I’m going to keep writing it.  I’m hoping that as it becomes less of a pressing issue for me personally it will kind of fall off the list of things at the forefront of my mind and therefore maybe show up a little less in my fics?  That’s one we’ll have to feel out.

RE: writing depression, I got several responses saying you like it, and a couple saying you don’t like it.  I personally like writing it (but it’s also a big issue for me, so it may be on or off my radar depending on how I’m feeling).  I’ll always be sure to tag it and/or put a warning at the top so you can avoid it if you want to.

As for other content you don’t like so much, if you ever really want me to avoid a topic, don’t be afraid to call it out in a prompt (such as specifying you want to see illness without emeto, or you want the person to be sick at home only).  That said, though, I write whatever comes into my head, and it's primarily either angst, emeto, or both.  As far as hurt/comfort goes, I prefer way more hurt than comfort, and I’m a little picky about which characters I like to use as whumpee and caretaker.  I realize I fall into ruts, but that’s also just how I roll.

If I filled a prompt for you and you weren’t satisfied, I’d love to take the (private, non-confrontational) constructive criticism.  You’re not going to change how I write, but I’d still like to know.  If you’d like to provide input to a requested fic during the writing/editing process, I do take commissions ($1 per 100 words), so if you’re looking for me to write something extremely comfort-heavy or otherwise different from the norm, this would be the route to take.

You guys are very interested in Starbucks Sundays, so that’ll be a go for sure.  I’ll let you know my schedule as it rolls, but I’m looking at something like 1 or 2 in the afternoon to about 5ish (US Mountain Time [-7]) on most Sundays, starting TODAY (in like an hour).  That would make it afternoon in most of North America and late evening in most of Europe, so I think I could hit availability with a lot of time zones.  There will be a few weeks here and there that I’m busy with other things, but this is looking like a solid addition to my schedule.

For the holiday mailing, that’s another pretty even split.  I’ll poll you again when it gets closer, but here are a few clarifications: you would not be required to use a real name, though cards would have to be sent to a real physical address or PO Box.  It would be open internationally, though the post might be slow.  I would not keep your address on file.  It would be deleted as soon as it’s written on the envelope.  Custom cards have to be purchased with a minimum of 15, so if I knew I had at least 15 interested people, I’d do it.

To the few of you who have said you’re too shy to reach out to me, I 100% understand the anxiety (I still feel it sometimes, and when I was a Tumblr noob I was way too scared to talk to a lot of people).  I admit I’m kind of awkward on chat during the getting-to-know-you phase, but I love hearing from you through asks, submissions, chat, whatever (and as long as there’s no hate, I will always respect a desire to remain anonymous).  I know there are times when I’ve been a little frustrated, but please don’t be scared to reach out if you have something to say.

Thank you a million times over for your kind comments and compliments on my writing.  I do a lot of my writing for my own health and happiness, but your feedback really means the world.  I appreciate each and every one of you so much.
