"For how long do you intend to play this little game of yours with me? When will you cut to the chase already? Or are you afraid, Taka?"

"Do you fear I will burn your heart until there is nothing left of it?"

Friendly reminder to all my followers that I'm ALWAYS okay with fanart and asks. If you wanna make something for me, GO FOR IT!! If you want to know something, ASK! Don't be afraid! I love it see it. :D

Question for anyone who've been in the fandom in Tumblr longer than I have, have yall seen that one AU where Reg is secretly an alien? I remember seeing it once before I had the app and now I can't see it any where, I tried googling it but got nothing.

Have a drawing of Alien!RHM too since I've been sick for a while so I haven't post much

I do want to talk about sharing art online from the perspective of a hobby freelancer but before that I'll just toss this tidbit I mentioned on my main

Reblogs are not numbers. Reblogs are meant to share and pass on artwork that someone may like. NO ONE is forced to reblog anything BUT it is a core of engagement in a space like tumblr. Engagement is what brings in interest after all and it's one piece of what makes it important for freelance artists here.

When you look at the numbers and the notes, we need to stop viewing them and comparing them with likes (me included) or total in general. It doesn't help.

Artists do self rebloging to both show or remind folks they've done some work as well as to nudge people to reblog their stuff. Tags are nice and comments in them are a nice way to engage too but passing on the work, especially to help someone to get noticed, is a good way to just work the site as intended.

It will always be about luck because we can't guess who wants to engage with what online. You also can't blame yourselves for this. Don't use the internet mentality of "content" (eugh!) and "flopping" and go about it that way. People find stuff I drew years back and find ways to engage with it now. It's really about luck.

There are things that can help but I'll go about it in another post.

One more thing. Don't be shy about "shilling". Advertise your open commissions, your patreons or ko-fis. I promise it has nothing to do with how big of an artist you are. Remember that you're doing that within your own zone so "bothering" followers is hardly the case, it's your house. Make a tag for it if it helps your mind. I say as someone with social anxiety.

Where to Start?

(Click under the cut to see the blog masterlist!)

To think that, to the veteran Sky theorist, we find a lore moth's question so preposterous. It's a simple question, an innocent, mildly curious inquiry. But upon hearing it, all of Lorechat and Skyblr collectively feel the imminent, eruptive, and possibly volatile pressure immediately swelling within their throats (on their keyboards). We start investing in an aggressive, passionate plan. We fill our notepads and documents and blogs and create visual graphs and boards and attempts at encyclopedias. And in the end we can't find the words, stuttering and drooling in our dumbfoundedness of the gap between us and the innocent newcomer. And the gap between us and the Answer.

All of this over just one question.

"Can you explain Sky to me?"

Longform reading isn't everyone's thing, and that's okay, but if you want to practice some reading while also hopefully making some connections about the world of Sky, I recommend checking out the articles posted on the Blog to see if you'd like to send a Follow to keep up with new updates!

Random Lore panic attacks and zealousy

Overly dramatic philosophical posts now and then

This blog will primarily focus on the world building of Sky, rather than specific characters, and is loosely inspired by Kurgesagt: In a Nutshell, as well as 1000s of fiction and worldbuilding.

Hope to hear from everyone!

[cuckhowell]

my biggest flex and also regret is that my little sister and i both got into our tatinof show with the weird stories from our childhood but my little undiagnosed autistic self couldn’t fathom that they were talking about us and making jokes so i just ended up being a 15 year old screaming at them as if they would respond in the middle of the show and that truly keeps me up at night.

There is no such thing as "balance" with haram and halal in this dunya. You cannot find a balance between a haram and halal lifestyle. Cut out the Haram for the sake of Allah swt and watch how your heart will heal. We convince ourselves that some sin is necessary, for temporary happiness and instant gratification and then cry ourselves to sleep at night feeling empty. We aren't made for this world, I promise you we weren't. We are meant to thrive in the Akhirah. May Allah swt make us amongst those he is most pleased with and grant us the highest ranking in the hereafter Ameen.
