[basketobread]

You’re genuinely so funny. You should seriously make some kind of comic

omg this is such a late response but i hope you know that i made this EXACT face when reading this. thank you SO much!!! i really would love to make a comic soon featuring my oc's or something... maybe i'll get around to planning one eventually. but comics aside, your words mean SOOO much. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! 😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

[ecoplasma]

All of your art is so amazing, even if it's just for a con I would really be looking forward to seeing jjk art in your style! (If you do end up drawing that) You rarely post for fandoms I'm in these days but it doesn't even matter, I just love staring at your art regardless of if I know the character. Congrats on getting the con booth and I hope you're doing well!

It's the big downside of drawing for multiple fandoms, a lot of people will end up disappointed if they follow for just one. So I'm always happy to hear when people stick around for the art no matter who I draw, so thank you very much for telling me this! About jjk, there is a character that's been giving me brainrot. Before I started, I figured I would probably have Gojo as my fave. but alas:

Hey Momma Bean! Just wanted to check in and make sure you’re doing alright! I hope you got some good news from the doctors. Love you <3

Hi bean! You're very sweet for checking in on me, I'm sorry I've been gone so much!

Doctors haven't found anything so far, and I've been low on energy trying to get my head back in the game while dealing with this. I will say I am no longer bleeding! But i still have an odd soreness in my upper back sides, but again, they don't know what it could be as the tests show nothing at all. I'm thinking, with the toxic and abusive place I live in, it's just stress related. Along with little food and money issues and peoples...less than OK nature around here, I think I've just been stressing so much and not eating enough and need a place to rest and really recover. No jobs wanna call in either so it's a waiting game until I get a more full time position and can save up for a car or my own place :T I'm alive though! I'll find my groove again soon I hope, writing and talking to you beans is a big help and escape from everything for a bit so I wanna be back and making more stories as soon as I can <3 I love you beans, I hope I haven't worried you too much!

Nic!

Your latest artwork is fire! I remember when you first started sharing art on here and it's just so lovely to see the progress of your craft. I just wanted to say I'm proud of you and I'm always very happy to see you create something new whether that's with artwork or your writing. I hope you're having a wonderful day!

[somegrumpynerd]

BOOPS FOR THE VERY COOL ARTIST AND STORYTELLER!!!

Oh they're for Pigeon? No worries I'll pass them on!!

[actuallycassidyiambusy]

I want you to know that I am officially obsessed with Buggy x Luffy. I didn't see the potential before but damn do I see it now.

I love love love the way you draw them! Seriously, I am always waiting for more art from you! And I've read both of your fanfics like three times.

The power struggle between the two makes for such an interesting read. Luffy is a total brat and it's 100% canon. He just doesn't listen😫 I almost get scared for him whenever he talks back or shows defiance. But deep down Buggy loves it when he does that shit.

Your work was definitely made for the risky/toxic/dark romance lovers 😍😍 I seriously love it so much. I share your art with my friends all the time and they love it too! Hope you know you have a nice little cult following🤣

Also, THANK YOU for not making Buggy human! I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THAT TROPE OMG IDK WHAT EXACTLY HE IS YET BUT I'M JUST 🫠🥵ADSSJSKSKKEJESHEGSGFEFWSSJ

I'm sorry I'm simping lmao anyway, I was wondering if you were open to drawing Luffy actually telling Buggy to attack someone. Almost like he's telling a dog to go into protect mode😍

I had the biggest, dumbest smile reading this. Glad you saw the light, my friend🙏🏻 Buggy absolutely loves when Luffy acts up. Gives him a reason to get mean 😏 and OF COURSE I made my version inhuman. I'm a serious sucker for that trope too. And apparently, so are many people lmao. It is literally my HC that Luffy would ignore someone until they open their mouth about Buggy.

Talk shit all you want. Just not about his man.

[eggyolkguzzler-archive]

Will never get tired of fluffy hair Alex lol

No need to post this

Just know you are lived and don’t feel forced to answer every ask 🫶

And I'll never get tired of you, Anonnie.

Thanks.

came here from ao3 because you do god's work. (actually I guess you can find me in your comment section there tehee)

but my question is a little silly. but what AUs (if any) do you think suit chenrich the best? besides kinda obvious options like band!au (because they're already a band, duh). i personally think about quite a lot and right now working out an online friends au, where alex has a yt with covers and steph falls in love. i'm silly.

First of all, thank you SO much for hanging out on ao3 and coming over here!! 💓

Your question isn't silly AT ALL! I love thinking abt the girls in situations. I'm an angst lover to my core so most of my AU ideas revolve around angsty concepts 😅 A friend and I tossed around the idea of a friends with benefits situation that they use to cope after Gabe's death (Alexa play Casual by Chappell Roan). I always love a good band AU and I think there's a lot of good stuff to explore there! I also recently rewatched Twilight and the idea of a vampire au has me foaming at the mouth a little 👀 It's definitely subjective, I think almost any AU could provide some really interesting angles and dynamics to their relationship!

Your online friend AU sounds ADORABLE, please feel free to drop me the link if you ever decide to share it! Thanks again for reaching out!

[novakiart]

are you comfortable if i use your art as a pfp if i credit you in the bio ?? i get it if not i just wanted to ask to make sure :]

oh absolutely!!!! it would make my day in fact

[redo-rewind-if]

Yaaay I got so excited about the Chapter 3 release that I stopped everything I was doing to read ˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶ (Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my language)

Ahhh, thank you so much!! It makes me really happy to hear that. I hope you've enjoyed it!

And don't worry, your English is great, no mistakes at all! (*^▽^*)👍

hi! i think about your stories every day, mainly because i think your joels are one of the best ever.

i really want to know, in your opinion, what is the most integral aspect of canon joel? and do you think its important to maintain it in canon divergent stories like yours? 

sorry for the stupid analysis question i just really love your writing and want to know more about your thoughts on this character!!

yeeeha my two fav things joel miller and character analysis

i think i look at joel and see an umbrella of traits and attributes. he's incredibly strong-willed, he's courageous, he's loyal, he's observant (to name a few). but he's also burdened with this sort of...fear, i guess? this hesitation to allow himself the experience of loving, of needing and wanting - and i think all of this lumps together and sits comfortably under this protector, provider character i see him as.

he is fiercely protective of those he loves. zero hesitation. he'll show up every fucking time. regardless of who or what tries to stop him. and he cares; even when he doesn't want to, even when he knows he doesn't need to, even when it's buried someplace deep inside him and he doesn't necessarily feel safe or comfortable enough to let it show. to me, he's an incredibly complex character whose motivations and biggest strife all stem from this one thing: he can't not protect. he can't ignore it. it's in his nature.

as for your second question - i think it's a personal preference! each writer will do it differently, each reader will enjoy it differently. i personally like to stick to how i think joel would behave in any of the situations i put him in, because canon joel is legit everything to me lol. but the way i see canon joel will be slightly different to the next, and the next, and so on and so forth! that's the beauty of fanfic and creating art from art.

most of my stuff so far has been very canon-divergent, but i still stick to the core characteristics i see in joel: sometimes, a story requires more of one side to him than the other (e.g. in sof, he resembles the joel we see in the pt ii flashbacks with ellie - his wit and humor - rather than the stoic, emotionless joel we first meet in pt i), but still very much traits i see in him.

personally, for my writing and my joels, it is important to me that they hold onto those core aspects. as long as he's a little grumpy, a little funny, and would watch the world burn to keep his loved ones' toes warm, i can make him do anything. that's the fun of it to me.

(big shout to @familyvideostevie, who let me talk her ear off about this ask and is an excellent student of joel's character.)

Hi, I hope youve been well 💕💕 I hope life isn't still imploding for you! what happened to little nathaniel is one of my favorite fics and I hope you know how appreciated it is!! I rly rly hope this doesn't seems pushy or anything, i know authors hate when people ask about updates. But I was just wondering if you had any idea of when the next chapter will be out? I am willing to wait for years lol. I hope you're having a great new year!! 💕

anon i am so sorry it took me a couple (read: four) days to answer this, you're so sweet thank you SO much. i'm so glad you like the fic! life continues to implode unfortunately (i should have believed people when they said the second year of uni is miles worse than the first. (but also yay the joys of education! and debt!)).

i do have 4,000-ish words of the next chapter edited & finalised (and we are not even a third of the way through the chapter outline so that's probably going to increase significantly). i honestly have no definitive idea when the next chapter will be up other than that it will definitely be no more than a month at the very most so yay.

but i can offer a snippet instead:

Neil seems content to wait him out, eyebrow raised. That scar by his bottom lip is as infuriating as ever. “I don’t care about any of it,” Andrew finally answers.  “I don’t believe you,” Neil says, and that faux-cheerful edge to his voice is gone. Those blue eyes are keen and bright, even in the dimmed fluorescent lights of this god-awful bar. His mouth is a thin line, tugged downwards slightly by the intensity of his concentration. All of this focus on Andrew. Why? “I hate you,” Andrew says, as his gut twists and his blood curdles. The thrumming in his veins is similar enough to bottomless rage that it cannot be anything but.

hi! i don't mean to spam your inbox, i was just wondering if you received my user box requests? they were for c-ptsd/sapphic/gray-ace user boxes specifically >< i know tumblr's ask system can be glitchy, so i just wanted to make sure just in case! please take as much time as you need and there's no rush or pressure, thank you so much for everything you do! 🩷

I see them don't worry ₊˚⊹♡ ^-^

There are like 40 messages in there but I try to respond as fast as I can ♡ I'm going to try to make the lgbtq+ ones I got today so they're together. Also I kind of love that there are so many? Thank you for so many? It sucks that I can't respond to them as fast as I would like to but I love how into this you all are it makes me so happy ^-^ it makes this blog feel a bit more like a communal effort than just my blog and I really like that - also I haven't responded to a lot of them yet but so many of you are SO UNBELIEVABLY KIND in the ask box I have read them & you guys make my heart absolutely melt you're all so sweet

(The longer resource post asks have been taking much longer to respond to than I originally intended but pls know I do see them I promise; sorry it's taking like 2-3 weeks to actually get to them T_T I want to give them my attention & respond like fully / properly)

I'm going to try to make a schedule when I have time to sit down & think about it so I can have set days for things & queue them ahead of time so that way I don't disappear randomly when I'm picking up extra shifts or having hard weeks ♡
