#IM MAKING AN ANIMATIC OF THEM RIGHT NOW I SWEAR !!!!!!

[phosphorus-noodles]

I might have to start relabeling you as "obsessed with chilchuck" over "joli shipper" soon

NO PLEASE-

[strawglicks]

Sorry for the ramble in your inbox incoming- I'm a really huge fan of your analysis type posts like the ones about Cathal and recently Flint ;A; So I hope its ok to maybe throw in my own 2 cents about Cogs/their society- (Sorry this gets rambly I thought about this last night and writing this like an hour after waking up lol)

I think what alot of people kind of (I wouldnt say ignore- more of:) don't really get is that I dont believe characters like Cathal or Flint have bad tendencies because they really want to in a way, (I kind of worded that poorly but point is) but because their society rewards and encourages that type of behavior. I think you said something kind of similar on Cathals post- But especially for Flint, whose a Bossbot (Who are literally the embodiment of a toxic workplace and elitism. I believe a old snippet from the TTO magazines says "They have no real skills of their own, just the ability to push down others and stay on top!" Or something to that nature.) he has to be demanding and imposing. There is no benefit to him in being kind. (Like looking at Misty for example) And don't get me wrong I don't believe that if Flint and Cathal were removed from Cog society they'd be better/objectively nicer (Like Flint not being condescending to Toons and Cathal not making people do things for him and being encouraged to try) But I do wonder how much of it is pressure, or how much of it is egged on and rewarded. Atleast in the aspects it relates to how they treat others.

(..And also I wonder what happens to Cogs that don't get jobs and are seen as ..not functioning. Since Graham was freaking the hell out in "Meeting Of Two Minds" over the possibility of not getting the job. I have a whole thing about this actually in my oc lore but thats another thing entirely I'll write about someday I swear)

Also I gasped when I saw the doodle of Graham in the MSI shirt finally a MSI listener Graham truther. I think he'd like the album "How I Learned To" and of course "You'll Rebel To Anything". I associate him mainly with the songs "Lights Out", "On It", and "You're No Fun Anymore" :p (This has been my favorite band since I was like 13 and now I get to spill all my opinions xD) I always imagined him doing the guitar backbend their bassist does! And my final hc is that Flint plays bass and Graham plays the main guitar. I think it fits them .. some people overlook bass when its actually pretty hard to learn from what I hear and vital to the song. (Like heres Feel Good Inc w/o the bass.. feels wrong x_x)

Anyways thanks for reading ;A; take care and happy new year!

RAHHHH EATING THIS UP YUM YUM YUM YES YES YOU GET IT

THe biggest issue with Cogs Inc is that it REWARDS and ENCOURAGES these poor behaviors, worsening these characters as people. ESPECIALLY cathal considering the position of power they’re in. I’m sure it applies to a ton of other cogs too, but unfortunately I haven’t gotten to them yet bc I’m not as insane abt them . LMAO

And yeah since cogs are literally built for work, it’s a wonder what happens to those who can’t find a job as easily as others. Hoping that gets built on since it’s clear in MOTM that these cogs have to actually apply and go to interviews and probably face some trial and error to land a job, just like people IRL.

ALSO. THE BAND HCS. I love it and you’re SOOOO RIGHT about the backbend that is so grahamcore. And yes I’m pretty sure Flint does play bass, I think his creator mailman said smth abt that on their blog . AND IM SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP FEEL GOOD INC bc i did draw flint in a demon days shirt in that same animatic . And ive def drawn them in the same shirt a couple times in the past too . I’ve always imagined him to be a Gorillaz fan, maybe graham too

Anyway ty for these thoughts im eating them up and leaving no crumbs . I love when ppl come to ramble in my inbox bc discussing this stuff IS SO FUN and a good outlet for me esp when i might be having art burnout rn .

[a-very-tired-raven]

Okay, since ive been getting a lot of love for my ary lately, id like to give you guys some top ary blogs ive followed for years, that i feel they dont get enough love.

Keep in mind that these are not in order from best to least, just in numbered order to make things easy.

(Another thing! While i may have found the majority of these blogs from undertale content, i need you to understand that a lot of these either dont do undertale art as frequently as they used to, or not at all. So please dont go in expecting that these are all undertale blogs based on MY intrests. Thank you.)

1. @springbon-t-art /@thecoolerspringbon-t has WONDERFUL roundhouse like style, and her fanart and characters range from all over(cuphead and bendy and the ink machine are just two examples, she has so much more unrecognized works and animatics on youtube that i think deserves much more love)

2. @twitchydoodle i havent visted this wonderful blog in a while, but i have followed for a good time(lets just say for a few years lol) so i cant say for sure what art is posted there at this moment, HOWEVER, i CAN say that twitchy has a Breathtaking art style, and has some of the most interesting and fleshed out ocs!!! Definitely check em out!

3. @calcium-cat i know cals been gettin a little bit more attention over the last year or so, but i still think she deserves much more recognition for her art. She has wonderful and thought out fanfics, not to mention the funny and well drawn fanart she posts for them!

4. @glitchysquidd I dont pop in as often as i used to, but glitchy's blog is one ive looked up to for a while. Here you can find very well written fnaf fics and fanart, chill energ(not to mention hilarious shenanigans),and a very unique and distinct artstyle.(seriously broski ive used your art for reference so many time 😭🤚🏽-). I suggest you guys head down to the basement and enjoy the tour.

5. @meatygutsy oh gee where do i even start- this blog has some of the most unique and well thought out ocs i think ive seen in a very long time. The artstyle here and style of coloring and shading is like nothing else. All of the colors pop and go together just right, not to mention the well fleshed out backstorys of each character.

6.@glaucus22 while this blog certainly isnt as active as it used to be, this is yet another artist that ive used as reference for countless times. They have a very distinct artstyle, and put much thought into their characters and their lore. I highly recommend going through the art tags here and taking a peek, along with a reblog or two!!!

7. @ijustwannahavefunn another blog with VERY well thought out and styled ocs, and a to die for artstyle. I also recommend checkjng out their youtube channel, which has VERY smooth animations and animatics. Definitely a hidden gem.

8. @vrnicky is a very good friend of mine that is WAY WAY WAY too unrecognized. They dont get NEARLY enough love for the anount of love and hard work they out into their characters and art. Please show em some love for me!!!

9. @loupy-mongoose is a favorite pokemon ary blog of mine. While you might find mostly mewtwo and mew stuff, please know that this is because of this creators mewtwo comic. You may know what im takling about if you know about similar more popular blogs (@/xxtc-96xx @/mewtwoandme and more ) but what separates this blog from many others is their very very different story, and an artstyle that'll put you at ease. Not to mention unique and well thought out mew and mewtwo designs.

And lastly, for now at least ,10. @whiteartblood an art blog that i havent visted in a couple months. This creator has some of the best undertale art i swear. One of my favorite styles!! A very lovely and instantly recognizable artstyle(that again, i have used for reference...i dont even know how many times), and even better ocs.

Now i know there are so many more blogs that are deserving of recognition, but its late and i cant look up 50 usernames at the moment.

However, while you are not obligated to, I sincerely hope you go show these guys some love(and reblogs!!!!!!!) For me. These guys have been a very big influence on my art, artists ive looked up to for YEARS now, and luckly for me some of them even being friends of mine, which im so very thankful for.

Ill definitely be making another post like this, with more writing inclusion and even more deeply hidden gems that require some digging.

I apologize for any typos that are unfortunately guaranteed as thats kind've what im known for lmao <- has made a fool of herself countless times) and i cant help but feel nervous that these talented people will see them, but know ive done the best ive can.

Thank you, and have a great time everyone!

[rui-drawsbox]

i saw that you animate using krita? i use krita too but im not really familiar with how to. animate. at all. i was just wondering how you do it (like basic steps or smth!!) you dont have to reply to this ask at all if its annoying tho!!

hoho yes ifc i love talking about myself and the things i do hehehe★★★

still i dont guarantee any type of quality bc 1. Im bad at explaining things in general 2. im no english grammar expert haha 3. tbh the only parts of krita i understand are the basic animations, i dont even know how to configure the cube haha and 4. it's 1AM, it's the second time i write all of this bc i did ctrl+z in accident and 90% of the mf post dissapeared and im goddam furious hahahaha.

now, with no more further ado, lets begin with my class!

First of all, i recommend you to save your workspace and put the Animation one that come by default, right here:

Looks a little messy, right? Worry not! Just configure everything in the Dockers until you're satisfied: (yes i dont have windows activated, fightme microsoft)

Now, i always use the default Animation Template (Animation-Japanese-En), but they usually come with lots of layers/groups that we don't really need, so i always delete them until the Layout Paper is the only group. Then i create a group for the Characters and another layer for the backgrounds (we'll get there later!)

And before actually getting in the timeline and shi, letme explain two points, they're important i swear!

Onion Skins menu: (at the right bottom of the screen)

Here you can configure all that has to do with seeing the past/next frame in the timeline for when you're drawing. The bars show how many past/future frames you want to see and their opacity, you can also change their colors. Once you're done with the config, you can just close it, to open it again just use the weird striped drop shaped button or choose it from the Dockers.

And the Animation Settings menu: at the right of the Onion Skins button.

Here you can see the starting frame from your project and the last one, but we're focusing in the Frame Rate. It comes with 24 FPS by default, but for simple animatics like mines 8 FPS are more than enough.

Now, going with the actual animation things.

To start drawing you don't actually need to make a first frame, but i think is more practical make that type of start an habit to yk, dodge bad moments haha

This move also works for imported images, since they come as layers and we need to make them actual frames by creating another frame at their right.

Talking about imported images, all my backgrounds are done in Sai2 since i feel more comfortable drawing there haha.

When we import more than one image, they become separated layers, and to combine them all in one we must make them frames and move all to one timeline (?)

+ if you dont pin the layer in the timeline they dissapear from it, but you can just select it again from the layer menu and they will appear again (you gotta pin it so they dont go).

now some personal preferences,,, i don't actually organize my timeline in any specific way, the only thing i want is having all the important layers at the display, so i re-use layers for different things (like the arashi/izumi layer is also used for tsukasa's hair that i forgot to draw in the first scene haha)

Still, to simplify and organize things a little more you can always color the timeline as you want, selecting a single frame or many as you want!

My last tip is that Copy a Keyframe is nOT the same as Clone one. Copy will make them a complete separate frame, while Cloning one will make them into another frame, but whatever you do will affect the original frame. I learned that by force :)

That's all i honestly know about animating in Krita, in terms of theory i have no idea what im doing 120% of the time, so forgive me if its messy or hard to understand hahaha.

That's all! 2AM! It only took me one hour to re-write all of that letsgoo

With love, Rui, almost having a breakdown for pressing ctrl z ★★★★

my 2020 fic writer wrap-up!!

this is going to be incredibly long (a total of 1.1k lmao) so imma put a cut here, but basically thank you for being here all throughout my 2020! i appreciate you all very much <3

fav kind of fic to write:

i love writing about mutual pining slow burn process of getting together but i have NEVER WRITTEN ONE IN MY LIFE so i hope to change that in 2021

in 2020 i discovered??? humour??? so i enjoy writing about that and when people tell me i’ve succeeded in making them laugh it’s all 😳😳😳 for me

hardest fic to write but also most proud of:

to write you a song was a fic i struggled with from all of april to june which is very long?? to me??? considering i usually sit down and write things in one seating. fully fleshed ideas don’t usually take me thaaaaaat long to crunch out, but for some reason i struggled bad with this bc I really didn’t know where i was going w it lol

LA LA LAND gets an honorary mention of it’s own simply because it was 44k, and it took me all of july-september, but it’s something i still am proud of! to show how difficult it was to write/plot here’s the spreadsheet i had to use to keep track of the scenes and the chapters djkgfsjdfkjhgd

Shout out to kiroiimye , sweet , sirius and krypt for keeping my sanity intact

easiest fic to write:

this genshin impact fic: The Land Favoured by the Wind but its because ive been thinking about this idea for more than a month lol so the actual writing and editing took me less than 3 hours

there were several others too, bc ideas then to hook themselves to me then refuse to let go fjshlfgdfsg

fav fic to write:

Most definitely this sakuatsu monstrosity here by the name of Miya Atsumu's unwavering love for Sakusa Kiyoomi and an unholy amount of terrible food analogies that should not have the right to Exist lol, I only came up with the idea of Atsumu asking Osamu how to make friends bc I was friendship pining for someone at the time and then proceeded to write the entirety of it in a feverish daze! It’s as of rn my top hit / kudoed / bookmarked fic on ao3 and man, thanks for liking this as much as i did :’D

writing sequence:

i have to write from start to finish lmao i cant move on if the fic isnt chronological? the only exception was la la land bc it was too long and i had help from the spreadsheet so i alr knew where i was going i just had to write it down dfhdsfksfksdfhjg

deleting works:

the only fics i remember deleting are both first chapters of a multichap, bc i dont like having unfinished pieces on ao3, and far less if im not sure if ill finish them/if i dont know where im going w it!

if it’s dark history of shit 15 year old me wrote imma keep it there! it is an archive after all. go on, judge my fics from 5 years ago ahahahaha

best writing advice:

not a general thing and might just apply tome, but i tend to write in very convoluted ways and squish a lot in my sentences, or add to many unnecessary commas, so i received advice recently about being more mindful of the pacing and it’s helped me a lot!

worst writing advice:

none at the top of my head djgfkdsjfh if it’s bs to me i just forget it entirelyyyy

collab:

@actuallyasweetpotato​ (also aforementioned sweet) and i did a thing for bokuaka week!!!! you can find it here:  under my breath and into your scarf

wips:

9 unfinished zine pieces, 3 commissions, 1 exchange piece, about 10 or so other things

fav story of another writer:

favourite things 

manly man falls for manliest man krbk fic!!!

gently, like a winter wind iwaoi birthday fic

sunchaser krbk fic

JUNO atsuhina fic

best review:

dude i cried

and shoutout to tien , sirius for fan art, fan comics, fan animatics of fics ive written, and shoutout to akemiiiii for this song they wrote i am eternaally grateful

worst review:

no negativity today!

prequel/sequel to other people’s fics:

none at the top of my head hm, but if anything probably any of kiro skk stuff 

do i reread my stuff:

yes, but only if they’re old enough for me to go “it’s okay even if i dont like it bc this is old”

published:

hopefully! even though i do take part in zines and i guess they already have been published in a broad sense

fav/least fav chara to write:

no one at the top of my head! it’s instinctive for me to go ahead and think about character motives whenever i come across them, so if i ever write about someone, i usually just put my spin/interpretation of a character in a way that i can comprehend. the pros of this is i can write about many people, and the downside is that these characterisations can come off as out of character to anyone who doesn’t agree w me hehe

deadlines or goals:

if it’s a oneshot that’s under 3k i usually aim to have it done within 24 hours of beginning the fic. even tho i rarely succeed, having that as a goal usually pushes me to get it done faster than i would have if i had no goal altogether! if it’s anything long i aim for 1k a day, tho rn all my deadlines are zine deadlines and on top of that there’s uni, so to say im not stressing about writing would be a lie LOL

fav writers: (am too shy to tag but i swear these people are literal gods)

chonideno (mag): tumblr | twitter | ao3

batman (teesta): twitter | ao3

maplefudge (raei): tumblr | twitter | ao3

trope never written, would like to try:

aforementioned SLOWBURN MUTUAL PINING ANGST W A HAPPY ENDING GETTING TOGETHER!!!

but also royalty au

trope you will never write:

haha loads

how long have you been a writer:

began writing around may of 2014!! it was a horrible piece but im glad i started somewhere

influences:

chonideno/mag is one! maggie stiefvater who wrote the raven boys is also one, among many others

hardest part of writing: 

writing action? writing things that are happening right now, describing people talking, eating

easiest part of writing:

descriptions of people, places, feelings. internal monologues, the like

best part of writing:

sharing how i perceive the world w other people, and discovering other people agree

wip sneak peek:

cw: hanahaki, falling out of love

this was written in a friend’s dms lmao this is why i sound like this

something unique i bring to all my stories

i had a revelation the other day after talking to all my friends and realised i have really pretentious titles

IF YOU’RE HERE

did you know the wc of this thing is 1k words? idk why you stuck through all of that but thank you. i’ll keep writing in 2021, and all the years after that, and i hope i’ll find you doing things you love too :)

[haaawaiianshirt]

i like to talk about my music so here’s a list of songs that make me go all day-dreamy in the car and storyboard an animatic in my brain and make me wish i had a Tik Tok (IT edition) lets go

I say IT edition bc its like My Current Interest so yes uhhh here

1) Pyjama Pants by Cavetown - (huge Fix-It vibes i wish i could write)

2) Angel Eyes and Basketball by Foot Ox - (please listen to it its just the Losers)

3) Snail by Cavetown - (EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE SONG)

4) The Lions Den by McCafferty

5) & by Tally Hall - ( if you focus on the lyrics you’ll see what i mean)

6) Funny You Should Ask by The Front Bottoms - (lil bit of,, eddie pov? perhaps? i don’t know but i have a story and i want to animate)

7) Misery Fell by Tally Hall

8) Birds by Thomas Sanders - (im really surprised i haven’t seen this one anywhere maybe i missed something but STAN) 

9) The Suburbs, Suburban War, and City With No Children by Arcade Fire - (three separate songs because i didn't want it to get too long but give them a listen like hello????? The Losers Club?? if i had the skill and drive to make a three part animatic this would be it) 

i also have some miscellaneous songs that make me wish i could cosplay SO bad because they have really cool audio so not like the whole song just tidbits (most of this is Tally Hall im going through a lot right now) 

1) The Bidding by Tally Hall - (but like silly, honestly)

2) Welcome to Tally Hall by Tally Hall -  (for ur circus AU’s)

3) Ruler Of Everything by Tally Hall - (the conversation that starts at 0:57 gives me like huge Neibolt Kids or like richie vibes “i know that your facade is a scam/ you know you’re making me cry/ this is the way that i am”)

4) Spring and a Storm by Tally Hall - (last tally hall i swear listen to the whole song because its wonderful, but the bit im thinking about is at 2:21 please its really cool) 

5) The Fued by The Front Bottoms - (”that he is the sound you want now / and i am just the noise you don’t”)

i have more but a lot of them are songs i’ve seen used already so i wanted to bring up some i thought ya’ll would enjoy :) 

feel free to add on!!! please!!!

DEAR AND FREELANCER I KID YOU NOT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE FREELANCER SHIP

LIKE HELLO??

I always like to imagine that dear loves helping freelancer when it comes down to water elemental stuff

“Yk i could help with your homework if you’d like?”

“Thanks dear that would mean a lot to me right now,”

Dear and freelancer would talk about bridging sometimes and maybe eventually do it very very slowly,

talking through every step,

and dear telling freelancer they can back out and comforting them throughout

Eventually freelancer gets so comfortable like this they start asking to bridge when they fall asleep to feel closer to them

I talked about lovely/darlin already but still!!

Lovely being the reckless driver they are and darlin fearing for their life sense they’ve been in a car accident before

(Another head cannon that I got from a animatic I saw is that darlin was in the car with Gabe on sep 3)

“Lovely I beg of you to actually stop at a stop sign this time!!” - darlin

*turns to look at darlin * “No ones around it’s fine darlin!” - lovely

“EYES ON THE ROAD OMG.”

Darlin never let lovely drive again with them in the car after that :,)

Lovely/treasure seem like they would def be childhood friends with mutual pinning that NEVER was talking about and broke apart due to one of them moving schools or smth

They meet back up at some random place that meant a lot to them as kids,

randomly realize who the other is,

catch up,

fall in love,

and then literally beg and plead with Vincent/Porter to do a poly couple just so they (lovely and treasure) could be together

Then continue to talk shit about their respective “first” partner,

“Vincent will randomly start doing shit in his sleep. I swear one time he was asleep and just tried to do the laundry?” - lovely

“Oh my! Well I guess something i could saw about porter is that he got horny when you punched him?” - treasure

“He got what.” - lovely

High school almosts between darlin/treasure sounds so agonizing??

There’s definitely so much tension between those two??

And I love tension don’t get me wrong.

But it’s like so much tension you could feel it from a mile away when they’re together, and their like flirty about it too?

“Did you do the math hw last night? I need some help with doing #7 if you don’t mind” - treasure (definitely a person who does all their hw and stuff on time and gets 100% almost every time)

“No~ but I could help do you? Come on, there’s a empty classroom down the hall” - darlin (not a school person, would rather be anywhere but school and never does any hw, it a miracle they graduated to be honest!)

*whisper yelling but still filled with giggles from being flustered* “DARLIN! I BEG OF YOU TO QUIET THOSE DIRTY THOUGHTS FOR 2 SECONDS!!”

“Mmn. How could I? You never wanna act on them and until we do I shall continue to ask if you want to, respectfully of course. My treasure this tension we have is bound to get of somewhere will it not?”

DARLIN BEING A HELPLESS FLIRT IN HS WITH CLOSE FRIENDS MY BELOVED OMG

(I wanna make that last one a fic now I’m gonna be honest with you…)

THIS IS SO LONG OMG IM SORRY :(

What are yalls favorite listener x listener ship??

Doesn’t need to make sense

Hit me with em.

For me personally it’s Angel and sweetheart

or freelancer and lovely

There’s no in between for me tbh.

My Personal head cannons about their relationships below!!

Lovely “died” which brought upon more stress for freelancer sending them into a panic over a person who was already in a (what seemed to be) happy relationship.

They didn’t wanna fuck that up.

And never got the chance to even try.

Then with Angel and Sweetheart

(my ver of Angel was in the army!!)

They were Highschool sweethearts (hehe) who broke up due to Angel wanting to go to the military

And Sweetheart didn’t want to get a call or a person at their door saying

“I’m sorry. But Your partner has died on the field,”

Angel only saw them again AFTER sweetheart had got with Milo

(Also two females at birth, lovely and freelancer, and female at birth, Angel, with basically a trans fem intersex person, sweetheart my beloveds)

I don’t wanna hear about how these wouldn’t work.

These are my rare pair ships and you will not take them from me. /LH /POS /HJ

[sleepibots]

ok discourse time over. i normally dont do that stuff bc putting my opinion out there like that can make me really anxious but i want to make it clear that i dont want gross ppl interacting

BUT ANYWAYS WHO WANTS SOME NEWS ABOUT GHOSTED! NOBODY? TOO BAD I’M RAMBLING ANYWAY

so ive been. VERY inactive and i’m sorry for that. i’ve been VERY unmotivated recently and it’s been hard for me to write down anything abt my au or even draw anything. though i’ve been thinking about ghosted a LOT throughout all that and i’ve been having some good ideas

i have a good idea of the backstories of the characters and the AU’s story in general; i just gotta write it all down bc right now its like. a tangled mess of concepts. i’m also gonna be updating the designs of the characters and giving them their own ref sheets! i hate to admit it but this mostly came from fucking around on picrew and thinking “hey that...fits (X) REALLY well”

so hopefully i should have some content out soon!! also i swear i’m gonna like...actually write stories for the AU too BFNHDJSKVBN ive just been really focused on art lately

ALSO!!!!! ive been REALLY getting into animation lately and in the future i really want to do animation memes and dumb animatics/shitposts of the characters bc i have so many good ideas HHHH i just need skills

OK RAMBLING OVER thank you to whoever read all this and have a wonderful day remember to drink water

im gonna go sketch now-

[zoopzaper]

@greensagephase NO WORRIES!! FINALS WENT WELL! i did fail one class 😭 but that’s my fault for not taking it as seriously as my core classes. plus work kinda made it difficult to have motivation—but my other classes i passed! i’ll just have to retake that one class next semester

YESS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE TWO BABYSITTING I REALLY WANTED TO SEE HOW IT WOULD GO AND YOU READ MY MIND LMAOO

yes being their favorite does come in handy hehe they always hug me and stay near me even when friends or family is over. it’s so cute!

yes. hand in marriage miguel. now. reader is better than me, i’ll say this again i would’ve folded in part one. IMMEDIATELY CRUSHING. immediately planning our future. immediately wanting to get married. BUT THAT WOULD SCARE HIM OFF SO READER WENT THE RIGHT ROUTE 😭😭

his progression is so beautiful to me!! i love seeing how far he’s come and seeing him interact with mayday. i’m so glad that he’s come this far—even if it’s not as far as being fully healed—which i also think isn’t exactly 100% possible but you get what i’m trying to say :P i’m glad we were able to see more of his fatherly side!!

ALSO HELLO?? OTHER METHODS TO HELP MIGUEL SLEEP?? TELL ME NOW IM GONNA GO INSANE. GONNA LOSE IT. KXHXJXHXUXBSJ STOP.

YES AGAINNN MAYDAY MAKING THEM KISS HAD ME DYINGGG but also blushing tehehe i swear kids do the most extra stuff to make people embarrassed. i said in my original post that they either do that or ask ‘ooo is he your boyfriennnd?’ makes me die inside. but i mean…i wouldn’t mind for miguel 🤭

BYE STOP SHHHHH i never said anything about anything being big. or imagining. NEVERMIND SHSHAHSHAHA. i mean cmon now if his hands are literally HUGEEEE…then…yknow….okay i’ll stop. what’s his shoe size? LMAOODDJKS JKJK..unless? SORRY NDHZKSHAHAH

YESSS FANART FOR PART 11 COMING SOON!! just working on a small sad animatic for nc! it’s sad. super sad. not like the sad/hopeful one i was originally talking about. my brain drifted off into the angst side and i couldn’t resist.

AHHHHH IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED PONYO ITS MY FAVORITE. ME AND MY BROTHER WATCHED IT ALL THE TIME. I THINK YOULL REALLY LIKE HOWLS MOVING CASTLE AS WELL! howl is soooo…🤭 i think miguel would enjoy ponyo as well!

NO WORRIES ABOUT IT GETTING DELETED!! ITS ALL GOOD

@zoopzaper I wanted to let you know that I received your ask but it somehow got deleted 😭😭 I've reached out to tumblr's support team to see if I can get it back and I'm still waiting on a response. If I can get it back I promise I'll answer it!! I got to read it at least and I'll try my best to remember as much as possible. I'm really sorry and please know I feel so bad 😭😭 if I miss something and you don't mind, let me know or send me another ask.

I saw that you had the opportunity to read part 11 at last!! I'm sorry that you got sick and I hope you're feeling so much better now!! ❤️ also, I hope your finals went well!!

I can't believe that you were thinking about a babysitting part and then part 11 was about that haha, perfect timing! I'm so happy you found it cute despite the sad bit about Miguel's backstory. I had a lot of fun including the babysitting element, though, as I really love Mayday! Also, I'm glad you were able to relate to reader being good with kids because of your cousins! I relate but with my aunts' kids as my siblings are younger than me and don't have children lol but haha, I bet you being their favorite comes in handy!! 😂

Omg, I love that you noticed how Miguel was instantly worried about reader's sudden change of plans! He was so quick to request a live hologram 🥺 he really does care for reader!! And when he offered to take dinner to her universe, and he had everything ready?! And then also offered to help with breakfast??! I want his hand in marriage!! 🫴🏼

Also, haha, I'm glad you weren't expecting Miguel to be so close/engaging with Mayday this much! This was interesting to think about because I was trying to see what were some things that he'd be okay with and then the parts that are still too much for him but despite his heartache because of Gabriella, we saw that Miguel is naturally good with kids and just thinking about his fatherly side gets me! But omg yes, guys that are good with kids?! Why is that so attractive??! 🤭 he's definitely a green flag!! Also, yes I agree that Miguel from part wouldn't have been able to do this. It would've been too much for him so it's truly so beautiful to see how far he has progressed 🥹

Regarding reader and the years she spent alone and how you said you could imagine her apartment suddenly being so silent 😭 In my head, she spent a lot of time in silence at her apartment. She couldn't even listen to music or watch TV to fill the growing and painful silence. Sometimes, the only people she talked to on some days were people she saved/helped, villains/criminals, officers, or maybe fans, but those interactions were always short. It makes me so sad to think of this!

I believe you mentioned finding it cute that Miguel didn't want to leave reader's apartment because of how much comfort he finds in her space and her presence, and yes, omg! His penthouse is still a working progress to make it homier (I'm thinking future chapter maybe? 🙂) for himself but there's no denying he finds so much comfort from reader and her home! Also, the sleeping arrangements 🤭 the sweatshirt and reader's breathing are still working perfectly! Will it stop working at some point? Maybe? Will other methods be incorporated? 😌

Omg, Mayday making the action figures kiss and both reader and Miguel becoming embarrassed - Miguel blushing and covering his face to hide it!! 🤭 this part had me GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEET when I was writing it. Mayday and Lyla are on this now!! Also, Peter B. and Mary Jane giving each other a look when reader and Miguel leave 👀👀 they definitely talked about Miguel and reader afterward!!

On Miguel's backstory and his family, it's so sweet that Miguel finally talked about it because he trusts reader!! I found it kind of sad to write about but also it just shows Miguel's progress!! Gabriel and Miguel definitely deserved better and it makes me so sad that they were in that environment for so long. It's really on sight for George, Tyler, and Conchata!!

Okay and the big moment when Miguel wrapped his pinky around reader's and gently squeezed!!! I was screaming at this but then also the size difference!! I was giggling at the thought of how much larger and longer his fingers are for real!! And omg @zoopzaper not you thinking about something else of Miguel's being on the larger side 🤣 same

I'm so ready for more fan art for part 11 🥺 there were so many cute scenes and I'm m gonna be screaming at every single drawing that is posted!! It's gonna be like Christmas gifts for me ❤️❤️

Also, I was gonna send you an ask and tell you that I watched Ponyo two nights ago!!!!! I LOVED IT 🥺😭 I think I'm gonna rewatch it again but I also want to watch Howls Moving Castle!! Thank you for recommending both films!! I think Miguel would absolutely enjoy Ponyo!!!

Thank you for sending your ask and I'M SO SORRY that it got deleted. I just now got an email response from tumblr and for some reason they said my issue was a follower count?? I'm gonna reply and see whats happening. I promise I'll answer it if I can get it back! If I missed something, please let me know 🥺❤️
