#I'm dead serious

[birdieardley]

I need a Jegulus fic where Harry Potter is a teenager and James and Lily have a divorce (they're still very good friends and co-parenting)

I just like this idea of Harry being an angry teenager because his parents are divorcing and are seeing other people, his life is changing a lot and he doesn't like it. And Regulus being a bit confused, coming into James's life with Harry being a teenager who blames him for his parents not being together anymore.

I love when Harry is a toddler and where he loves Regulus, but hear me out on teenage Harry, I need it!!

Hey, Nipuni! First off, I want to say that i love your work sooosoooo much and i can’t even truly describe the impact it’s had on me. You’re an inspiration to me!! No matter what your interest is in i will always be a fan. I was really curious and wanted to ask, i think you’ve talked about it a looong time ago but, how long do you reckon it takes your to do your fully painted illustrations these days?? and how long do you wait before posting it, assuming you aren’t sure if you’re satisfied with it. I’ve just been struggling with overworking my art and feeling like it’s not ever ready to post so i was curious. 😟

Hello!! I'm so late to reply I'm so sorry!! Thank you so much for the kind words!! to hear that my work can have such a positive impact on someone is the greatest compliment truly 😭❤️ and thank you for sticking through all my interest hopping too haha

These days it takes me anywhere from 2 to 9 hours most of the time, non consecutive if I can help it, and I usually sleep on them at least one night before I share them. But I've held on for over a month to some just because I didn't think they looked quite right, so I keep coming back to them every now and then and do some small tweaking until I reluctantly post them either out of frustration or exhaustion haha I don't have the patience or the attention span to work on the same thing for very long to be honest, so I've adapted 😆

The truth I like to remind myself of is that once I share something all my focus shifts to my next idea every time so whether I could have done better or not doesn't matter once it is out of my hands. I can always do better on the next one, there is just the comfort of letting go and a fresh start.

I've struggled with overworking pieces to death a lot too. It stems from anxiety really so it's a matter of building confidence, the point at which art is ready to be shared is arbitrary after all. You can convey a message or idea just as effectively through the roughest of sketches to the most detailed oil painting, the rest of the work is mostly towards aesthetic value.

On the technical side of things, when you grow frustrated with a piece to the point where you start to resent it is a good indicator that you need a different course of action. Sometimes bringing in new references can help you find the issue, sometimes the problem is structural and buried under piles of unnecessary detail and you have to go back and redo or remove something you were reluctant to, and sometimes the best thing you can do is to let go and come back to it with fresh eyes when you have learned more. As for studies, working from big to small, training for speed and on a time limit has helped me. Anyway I think I've started rambling, I hope any of this helps!! Remember that art at any stage is better than no art at all!!

(Somewhat) Hot Take: My favorite part in Mouthwashing fanart isn't the Jimmy exclusion.

It's how when some of them draw the cast and then Jimmy's included, he is always the grumpiest little fucker ever. Hates sunshines and rainbows and puppies and everything beautiful. It's so fucking funny.

This is a not-so-gentle reminder to please, please only consume my writing if you're a legal adult. Let me repeat: MINORS SHOULD NOT BE INTERACTING WITH OR READING MY WRITING. This content is not designed for you, so if you're here/lurking, you need to leave. I understand that you think you're mature enough to handle it, but that's not the issue here. Your presence places me in legal trouble and it's just unfair and wrong for you to do that.

Please respect me and all other smut writers, and listen to this request. Please.

Similarly, if you are an adult but don't have any indication of that in your blog bio, PLEASE change that. You don't need to put your exact age, but have either '18+' or 'I am an adult' written somewhere in your bio. There is no way for me to know if you're 16 or 36 if you don't do that, and there is an obvious problem there.

I keep meaning to do this but can't find the time, so I'm going to do it within the next day: I will be blocking ageless blogs, so if you are an adult and you want to retain access to my work, please indicate your age.

Desmond's development throughout his arc doesn't get enough attention in the community, but hearing him in the Valhalla audio files is fascinating. At his core, he's still Desmond, but you can sense Altair's wisdom, Ezio's confidence, and Connor's unwavering conviction coming through in his dialogue and, even by AC3, in his actions.

How to Not Get Into a New Fixation

Completely ignore GIFs of that new fixation you haven't heard of/haven't seen/aren't watching yet

Absolutely do not under any circumstances (come on, you know you want to, though) look at, like or reblog fan art of that new fixation you haven't heard of/haven't seen/aren't watching yet

Definitely don't go looking on YouTube for that particular scene saw in the gif set

Avoid Tumblr posts about this new fixation at all costs. (Warning: you will probably spoil yourself and end up wanting to start the new fixation anyway)

tomorrow is my birthday and honestly, this might be the first time i've looked forward to a birthday in a very long time. :3

i haven't had a good birthday since i was sixteen. possibly even before that. actually, no. not since i was twelve, i think.

for the first time in a very long time, i'm actually looking forward to aging another year. even if it took ten years for this birthday optimism to finally happen. :)

Literally every single one Greek in the country: why isn't there ever budget for a half decent movie that isn't about a romcom taking place in a single room? Just once would have been nice!!!

plea for people who have ace headcanons and write those characters as ace "by default" to tag their fics with 'asexual character' even if it's not explicitly or implicitly mentioned so that I can find them without having to go through a hundred fics that hit me in the face with varying degrees of said-characters thirsting over their partner first

for explicit and implicit mentions of your ace headcanons you can use "asexual [character name]" as well. thank you.

signed: me, a tired asexual whose second main reason for not reading many fics is exactly this

There are mice and birds in the attic and the noises they make when they run are making me lose sleep.

I'm not joking.

I'm sleep deprived because my room is right under the attic and there are creatures running around like a toddler on cocaine.

There's also a bigass spider somewhere and it disappears whenever I turn on the light.

Edit: and bats screeching outside and a pack of dogs howling. Wtf type of horror movie I'm living in right now

Can I decorate my house with silly Christmas decorations now or is it still too early? What happened to our tradition?
