#Wanted to draw smth more realistic

[puppppppppy]

you are umasou

[wackywatchdotcom]

ive posted so much every single day on this blog for weeks now i feel weird having barely posted today . ive been busy but uhhh heres a random image i never posted from my tadc art folder?

[saptaincwan]

ohhh men with beards my artistic weakness (timelapse delayed but someday)

(UPDATE: timelapse here)

[exopelagic]

sudden realisation that the thing holding my art back is that I never had an anime phase

[arolesbianism]

If I wasn't a coward I would 100% throw more preexisting characters into my lob corp facility just cause. I got very close to adding a custom Siffrin a good while ago but chickened out and I shouldn't have because it would be funny. You thought that time loop was bad? Strap in buddy you haven't even begun to face the real horrors yet

[mosspapi]

"Create a realistic/accurate self portrait, and focus on representing ur psyche" ok maybe that's possible for a normal person but if you want an artistic representation of me it will look Nothing like the physical form you see in front of you. So which would u prefer.

Hello there, friend I'm here for fluff

OK, this has been on my mind for a while

But like

The reader is just becoming the biggest parent to the Benny's adventure team kids

And the wolfs

We are like a parent of like 27

Knitting and making food brushing razors hair(let's be for real, you would hear a crunch when you brush it)

I'm not gonna lie

Do these kids know what spices are?

Cuz when I think about it

Razor hasn't had shit so he's has the least tolerance for spice

He would probably cry if you feed him a pepper

Bennett has tried spicy food but does go well with it

And not completely sure if fischl has had a spicy food before

But what flavor does mondstadt add to their food??

These kids need the damn flavors

AHDHAKALL FERAL ANIMAL AQUARIUS- ANOTHER PLATONIC ASK AAHHHHGGGGDJJSFHSAK!!!!!

^^ The posts being referenced in ask, (OG Razor ask) (Benny + Razor) and a more direct sequel, a part 2? a part 4 atp?? of this post (Imposter/Not Dark AU + Razor + Diluc) ^^

OMFG

ALRIGHT LISTEN UP BITCHES

SINCE UR IN TEYVAT

YOU GONNA COOK LIKE TEYVAT

AS IN-

SHIT BE SUPER EASY TO COOK, AND MASS MAKE DEPENDING ON COMPLEXITY OF DISH

(So, like Zhongli's special Bamboo Shoot Soup is like getting made... once a year if you read the little desc. for that dish 💀)

AND THEYRE ALL LIKE-

ANIME GORGEOUS FOODS ✨️❤️‍🔥

OKAY SO

PROMO TIME-

U GUYS HAVE TO WATCH THE ANIME "CAMPFIRE COOKING IN ANOTHER WORLD"

Bc that's mostly where this inspo gonna come from to both be realistic cooking + best parts of video game cooking

A guy gets isekai’d and instead of hero powers he just gets the skill of "online grocery shopping" LMAO

and ofc he gets insta gifted whatever he orders and starts making dishes and adding spices and regular stuff you know. like soy sauce.

but the best part is the food in that world is like British medieval soup shit

like barely salted, no spices definitely, no sauces, its barren

so he ends up attracting all kinds of interest that want to eat his cooking ofc

And it gives buffs too!

dw i didnt spoil anything u don't learn in the first episode, but that's just to say that's exactly whats happening here

u DO have to manually collect more ingredients but its so worth it, also u can just buy in bulk or put a commission thru the adventurer guild

tbhhh now that i say that, that could be how u end up drawing in Benny’s Adventure Team even more, bc they just take all ur quests for collecting ingredients around Mond!!

(u have to actively sneak behind their back and whisper to Katheryne that you want to put in other food quests in other guilds tho, silly kids will absolutely go running around Liyue and crazy shit just to have an adventure and do smth for you + eat ur banger food lol)

omfg the first time u barbecue smth???

the wolves, Razor, and Andrius??? Go feral.

Fischl and Benny who were already on their way to u guys to hang out again start booking it thru the woods, dodging hilichurl camps (thatve since settled down and been v peaceful to the wolves + anyone in the woods of Wolvendom after u started living there)

they knowww ur cookin smth fucking amazing

(and u even have some hilichurls and mitachurl that wander close to Andrius’ edge of the woods to shyly beg for scraps,, u give them a portion)

Razor was actually lookin at u like u hung the stars just for him when u gave him a homemade barbecue sauce to put on his food

(u acc may have done that to Teyvatians according to Andrius + the stories u overheard from Springvale…)

ok but the amount of begging u get for desserts like-

No, Razor u cannot have chocolate cake/cupcakes after every meal, u need to take care of ur teeth

(u use ur collection of mora-monster-donations for comms for more ingredients and living supplies like fabric + furniture, u cant afford dental on top of that for ur boy)

Fischl dutifully declares you the “best chef in the kingdom” and writes down all ur recipes (u have them auto-stored in ur settings obv but it cant hurt to have a physical copy, and they look so happy doing it, u don't have the heart to tell them its not necessary-)

Benny insists on both giving u extra ingredients when he takes ur commissions, and giving u handmade trinkets or weapons for the meals!!

No!! He will not take “im good” for an answer!! ur sharing ur home-cave with him, taking care of his best friend Razor, and now feeding him food better than Liuli Pavilion!!! There’s no way he can just take all that and give nothing back!!!!

and theyre not the only ones getting some food tbh

when the knights begin patroling near Wolvendom and slowly all of Mondstadt to search for their “All God”, u break up the beginnings of a fight between 2 confused knights and the now peaceful hilichurl camp at the edge of Wolvendom

U offer some snacks u were going to give Benny’s Adventure Team when they got back (u made little triangle sandwiches, rice balls, etc. finger foods, and u made plenty extra bc u kno their teenage appetites lol)

the knights and hilichurls nearly cried with appreciation, which made for a hilarious sight when the teens actually showed up lmao

ur wearing ur cloak, bc u dont wanna take on that whole “creator of worlds” title just yet, and the kids helped verify u werent anyone suspicious (Benny + Fischl keep ur godly secret, theyre the best like that 🥰)

the knights just swing by for snacks occasionally (they also either pay u in trade or with mora, theyre not bullies)

another person who gets flavored food privileges is the lazy librarian witch herself

u also sometimes pick Razor up from Lisa’s tutoring and bring “the best tea and tea snacks in the world” along with to share with Lisa and him

(she is also fully aware after awhile of meeting u of what u are, and fully believes this is why the food must be enchanted to be so good, but u dont want to be treated super reverently she can tell, so she keeps ur secret too and is just extra flirty when u come by lol)

(Razor refuses to let his pare- Lupical move out of ur cozy cave to the library, so he sometimes hauls u away when Lisa flirts too much LMAO)

…and the moment you've been waiting for.

Yes, Diluc got to try ur food that night he was searching Wolvendom for signs of the god of Teyvat

tbh Diluc was half-convinced that shit was a fever dream.

a bunch of sleepy wolves, a coffee table in the stone colosseum, a giant spirit wolf licking a big plate clean, the wolf-kid glaring at him, and you.

you with gold eyes, staring right thru his soul, like you already know everything there is to know about him, (like the way Kaeya looked at him that night),

like he doesnt even have to introduce himself

and he doesnt, u just lightly smack Razor’s hands until he gets rid of his claymore w/a pout, since Diluc had long since dropped his,

and grab a plate, piling on what leftovers u could, and turn back around from the coffee table to smile at him, patting the cushion-seat beside u for him to join

The giant glowing wolf licks his lips and watches him, the wolf-kid’s creepily watches him, and you, with eyes gold in teh light of a simmering bonfire just past the table, watch him

he just sits down and begins to eat.

its the best food he’s ever had, its his dad’s favorite dish, but not realistically, but the way memory embellishes a dish so much it can never be tasted again, except its right here. in front of him. u pour some wolfhook juice for him, and offer him a napkin to wipe his mouth and eyes

Diluc visits often after that, obviously.

u give him snacks too, and when he lets the staff try some, Adeline will not stop harassing him abt gettin ur recipes/ingredeints so u get him to pay Fischl to get a copy of their recipe book :)

including blank pages for future entries, and Fischl is literally glowing with happiness, would not stop monologuing abt ur food for weeks (send help Oz wants some peace and quiet sometimes)

Oh Diluc absolutely told the Favonius knights he found you. But he’s not saying where LMAO

Jean is actually begging him, Diluc ik u hate the knights but this is an international investigation-

this is the closest Diluc has ever gotten to getting under Venti’s skin.

when he told him this at Angel’s while bartending, he just casually ofc said this, just his smug little smirk, and the anemo god cracked a glass and everything- esp when he said he tried ur cooking??

he's gotta start looking over his shoulder in the city bc not only is Venti stalking him, the entirety of Mondstadt’s citizens are glaring at him in envy everywhere he goes LMAOO

(Venti now has a bar glass or too on his tab to pay off as well)

mans is literally paying u in weapon/artifact materials/mora to make him lunch one day and Venti nearly lunges over the counter

(Diluc purposefully ate it in front of him 💀)

ur food is the ultimate, “u could make a religion out of this!” /ref

like Diluc fully gives u offerings of ingredients he can pay for shipping from other countries + along with regular materials after grinding in domains

does the rest of Mondstadt + the world find out where u are?

only if Diluc lets them tbh. LMFAO

[buwheal]

[You've Got Mail!]

You can now send your favorite salesman emails!! YAY!!

Here's some rules and information about the askbox.

First and foremost;

I will not answer every single ask. Sometimes I just cant do anything with it that will work realistically with the perimeters of the world, and I apologize!! Its nothing against you guys!!

(Unless you break the rules ofc.)

So if you dont see yours after a long while, it’s probably something that wont work, sorry! You can always send it again for a second try or send more than one ask whenever and see if that one works instead!

Besides that, here’s the rest of what you need to know!

[RULES] :

Spamton can only talk through the computer, so dont send asks that have a physical interaction!! Sorry! Thats just how i decided to set up the world/situation, and is not really anything against you guys :-)

(more of a request than a rule tbh) Preferably try to send real questions or statements. most "joke" asks are funny, but are surprisingly hard to create an in character response for. You can still send joke asks if you really want to, just dont always expect an answer X-P (i.e. asks that contain nonsense,, you can still be funny and make regular jokes, and i should probably specify that, but things that are like "you look like a worm" or smth i have no clue what to do with lol)

I know he may be a personification of spam emails... BUT DONT SPAM!!! It clogs the askbox and is a real pain!! You can send him more than one ask, though, as long as you arent repetitively sending a ton in a short burst!! Send as many as you'd like as long as they dont qualify as spam.

Dont be overly sexual or romantic, please! Even "As a joke". I dont like Spamton like that and it makes me uncomfortable, and I can't really answer that in character in a way that wouldnt provoke more of that. (You can be a flirt, but not much more than that.) Thank you!!

Be respectful and patient!! I am just one person doing everything, and this got far more popular than anticipated, so i will take a long time. I try my best to get at least one out every other day but i'll need breaks eventually!!!

I cannot give/spawn/materialize things for/to Spamton if you ask because of the way it’s set up. You are really just lines of text from a computer to Spamton, BUT... You can still do a lot if you think outside the box. or,, errr,, outside the computer. More like IN the computer. Kind of. Your words and your actions affect him and his reactions to you, so word it correctly and you can get him to do something or say something. Hes not stupid though, and he CAN usually tell when your intentions are... less.. than good.

Try not to do RP as other characters please.(Thats my job…!) I literally have no idea what to do with them and i feel bad leaving them in there :frown:

[INFORMATION] :

(Optional read :-P )

[YGM!] is technically an AU!!! not only do the events of the game not occur, but this is also set before then!

Asks are put out one a day, regardless if i have more than one, UNLESS i need to connect two(or more) to complete one event. Or i feel like it. a little treat.

I am one person doing every ask and every unique frame of art, so expect 1 ask (If youre lucky, two) maybe every other day Monday-Friday depending on my workload per day.

This is just for fun!! I am using the askbox to exercise my drawing consistency, Spamton's personality, and the way he speaks and responds to different situations! This is a way I am using to improve my understanding of him as a character, so it wont be always consistent as I am growing and learning!

Just a little disclaimer, he WILL be mean. He is a sour, nasty, grumpy, bastard and I am absolutely not opposed to him responding as such. Just keep that in mind when sending an ask if you dont want that!

If you want a common outcome, talk to other people about it! go crazy! I dont mind long threads on my posts if you want to create a plan. Infact, I can even help and tell you things occasionally!!

What you say to him DOES and WILL affect the way he responds. It is possible to regain his trust, but still a little hard. He is not a trusting person to begin with and being mean certainly doesnt help. BUT.. I am not opposed to being mean. Infact, they are quite fun to do. Either way is entertaining for me, so do as you will. YOU can choose to hurt or help him, because it’s basically always reversible in a way.

Using tone tags, while not required, are really helpful and assist me in understanding the intention in your ask if you think it may be interpreted another way! (i.e. sarcasm) :-)!!

I pick and choose asks depending on his situation, or if i have a good idea for a response, so you may need to wait a bit before i can get to yours!! Ones that i have an idea for take priority, especially when its to progress a scene. Or, alternatively, i am saving your ask for something i have planned.

I WILL reuse frames and poses to get these out faster and for my convienence :-) especially for the frames where there is no need to change his pose! So like.. dont think too hard about it lol.

Also, i prefer if you specify if the ask is for me /or/ Spamton. I do still do normal asks!! If its for me, just let me know!! I can usually tell, but most asks will be interpreted as for Spamton. I appreciate ones that start with his name before said thing is asked/stated specifically!! (i.e. "Spamton, __ __ __")

I wont be consistent with the way its answered. Sometimes it's one panel, sometimes its a couple panels, or sometimes they're animated gifs!! It varies depending on what i feel, so if youre lucky you can get a gif, lol. Those take longer usually though. Ive mostly switched to a gif format rather than multiple panels in a comic style, because its much easier to view! The animation quality can vary :-)

Thats about it!! Have fun!! ^_^

[nwarrior777]

when I look in the mirror I see your art. Idk how you were able to put a piece of a fat persons soul in your art, but you did. Iv never been able to see someones art in the mirror like I have with yours. Where fat people are drawn with the amount of love that you put in.

not me crying about ask on tumblr- thank you qwq i am always so happy to receive feedback like that! then people see themselves in my art. or like here, my art in themselves?? that's smth new! I choose my sphere of art to be representation, and goal to bring my part for shifting balance of media image of people, to realistic side, which celebrates the beauty of differences of our appearances I have joke about it like "Being representative artist has pros and cons. Pros: you will never have artblock. Cons: you will never have artblock". Because there is sooooo soooo SOOOO much work here needs to be done. And i am sometimes worry that i will never be able to draw all i want, ideas i have in 26 are already would take all together more than 100 years. But then i see reactions like this, i think "oh! i've already done something! a lot actually!" and it calms me a bit. It's a honor to know that thing you do made positive impact, that you did your little part of making word a better place, more kind one.

And i guess the secret of Love in my art is my attitude? I think Love is most important thing in life, i don't mean only romance but like, in general, Love for everything and in every form. Love for your partners, Love for friends, Love for thing you do, Love in cooking, for park near you home, for a frog plushi, for Life. My statement is Life itself is driven by Love, and, appearance of people is like flower field to me: everyone is Beautiful in their Uniqueness. I came long path and there is no ugliness as a concept in my mind at all now, and it gives me so much of inner freedom. And if about fat people - honestly how NOT to see beauty in fatness??? And it's so delightful to draw... Like, it is Love in these drawings because it is literally that i feel and projecting into screen. And like. I follow one women on insta, her posts are absolutely Ethereal. Imagine that impressionists pastel drawings with cute cottage core dresses but it's videos with very big black women in this dresses running on grass, on that almost painting landscapes, like. Then i saw this i felt like my eyes were blessed, like, she is literal Goddes. And then i knew that she have some haters comments... like. It's just. I don't know how there are two so polar reactions on that. But i prefer my side. Because there is no better feeling than Love

[revivemyreverie]

(pt.1) Congrats on completing Toytoria's story!!! How's life been-treating you? First-off, I respect ur dedication to ur craft and I love to see ur big brain in action, and please give urself more love and care bc you calling ur art shit --> toll of crashout --> I was scared for you. Take care of yourself---not just recovering, but also getting your schedule and pacing at a place where you don't stretch yourself thin---before jumping into the next project. - Anon

UEEEEEE WHAT IUF I CRODE....TY FOR COMPLIMENTS IM PASTIGN THIS ON MY HEART ANON

LIFE HAS BEEN. ok. college is back so we grind. more twst ocs on the way as usual. I'm just happy to not be worrying over this anymore LOL. As much as I love my children, I also put a weight on my shoulders by doing this!!! Will definitely try to actually plan out a schedule next attempt JAHJDSAHJ.

2ND PART OF THE ASK SHATTERS LIKE A BURNT COOKIE. YES YES U GET IT....smth smth. I knew twst, even as a land of villains, is not a world where they win. Often times the characters lose even after trying their hardest. Vil still lost to Neige, Leona never got to be looked at as worthy royalty, Jamil can't escape his social role, and Malleus won't be able to hold onto his relationships forever. Its harsh, its hard, and its unfair. Yet! Isn't it also really realistic? I wanted to capture that through Lotsie and his relationships with everyone. And yes! A lot of the characters did make some poorly-thought out decisions (except Zackery according to my bff), but this is the dorm known for their immaturity, after all!

Oh!! I forgot, it was actually that trait that made me have the story end the way it did! During the first draft, everyone was just going to apologize and make up, but I quickly realized how out of character it would be for everyone to just be ok with it, especially Pat!!! I wanted everyone to still hold a little antagonism towards eachother, so I did. Not to mention, Lotsie's control-freak tendencies wouldn't just stop completely, or he wouldn't be Lotsie DHJASDJH. Thank you again for the ask!!!

Also I realized I have nothing to draw for this. hrm. have Lotsie OB and Past fullbody <33

[starlitecryolite]

OK SO I’m a little late but I read the new OGTDWV chapter~

UR WRITING IS AWESOME *bonks u with the ‘get appreciated’ stick*

Red, my poor boi! Permission to draw him receiving hugs and cookies? His struggles are actually so well-written though, his thoughts and actions flesh him out enough that he feels like a real person you could run into on the street. You represented self-depreciating thought SUPER accurately, almost like- hey wait… *narrows eyes in suspicion, getting ready to bonk u with the ‘get appreciated’ stick again*

Also, the whole scene with Green and Blue helping Red cheer up is so cute!!! I diagnose u with Sibling, the way the CG acts is EXACTLY like siblings irl (HOW).

Purple’s nightmare happening, let’s go!? I mean, poor blorbo ofc, but reading the scene just made me go, “HOLD UP, I’ve seen this before!” And that’s honestly such a cool feeling to have. Red and Purple can be inferiority complex buddies lol

GRAPEDUO (it autocorrects to all-caps now; I have truly fallen down the shipping rabbit hole)!!! The gays be gayingggg~ :D Blue and Yellow’s commentary on the grapeduo sparring match was something I never knew I needed, ty. Green singing to Purple is rlly sweet!

But if Green’s powers work through a phone, could he hypothetically just. Buy a bunch of speakers or smth, then throw them ahead of him and use them to knock out enemies without entering the same room?

Or was the Power of Gay strong enough that the singing itself, without the enchantment, was what Purp to sleep?

*taps u with the ‘get appreciated’ stick again for good measure*

HAVE A GOOD DAY BYEEEEE

Hello there!!

Thank youuu!! I tried really hard with Red's character. And yes, he deserves all the hugs and cookies in the world after what he's going though. I wanted the self depreciation to be as realistic as possible- what, me? Projecting? PSSSHHH NEEEVERRRR...

I love taking inspiration on the CG sibling dynamics from my own. I have three siblings, so it comes quite easily for me to write about that, lmao

Purple's nightmare was fun to write. I wanted to reference the flashback of their backstory in a way, so not sure if that was noticeable.

GRAPEDUOOOOO!! I yell that A LOT in chat. It was so much fun having to write the CG's commentary during the sparring segments as if its all normal to them- because it is.

Green's powers can work through calls, yeah. (Hopefully not contradicting myself there, it's been a while) and while he CAN do that, he prefers not to for the sake of drama and theatrics. His powers are more like "If you can hear his voice, you're within his range and at risk", like a siren in mythology. I love that about it :D

Thank you for this!! <333

[schwarzgeier-side]

HI GEIER A FUN QUESTION FOR U but do you have any particular artists and/or pieces of media (like movies shows videogames etc) that inspire your own art style/you want to take inspiration from?? Ive asked a couple peeps and I'm curious abt you!!!

OMG MY TURN?? THANK U HHH Im still baffled sometimes by you knowing i exist dhdhdh but im honored.

Sooo Inspiration huh. Very interesting topic for me because i am. Very much shaped by the art and media I like / consume. And yet i dont feel like much of it shows up in my own art style really. I am not sure why, probably because i never fully. Studied art tbh. Went to art school in free time ever since i was a 1st grader but i still feel like i skipped some major steps in actual art teachings. Color theory is my enemy.

But as direct inspirations I would say I have wayy to many to count.

Signalis (unsuprisingly) has been a literal life changing experience and I am putting down here because i cannot fully express how much it fuels me and my artistic aspirations ever since i played it. I truly wish to make a story on signalises level that can impact others.

As a second biggest inspo , i have to go with my long term soft spot that i have for the Dishonored series , specificly the art of Dishonored 2 will never leave my soul. There were multiple incredible artists working on the design team but the general feel and dedication they put into this world is smth i wish to do similiarly. Arkanes general philosophy aligns with mine.

For final big game i suppose ill put Ultrakill. I dont know what it is specificly about it that makes me so. At awe of it but it scratches my brain in similair way signalis did with its low poly style and striking colors and solid designs.

For artists god uh theres to many fjfhshdhg my own art changes style everydamn week i feel like but at least for people that impact me lately . @mrzuddie(sorry for the tag)s style has personaly spoken to me on a lot of levels , dont know why specificly but it scratches my brain so well . I always admired the more. Chaotic artstyles ? Sketchy , or rough looking pieces speak to me more than smth hyper realistic or shaded. Thats why i like pixelated stuff too. Remarins speedpaints on youtube were big part of my teen years i would say and they shaped me into being a digital artist mainly. Shiwasu Hoshikawa's Bungo Stray Dogs art also falls under the scratchy wild art category i love and wish i could replicate more .

I cant really think of any movie funikly enough that shaped me artisticly much. I like Top Gun Maverick but thats cause im a pilot and have a history with it fjfhfj. 9 film from 2009 was striking though that might have been subconciously affecting me. Also as most i think Into the spideverse and any recent well animated movie can fall in this category.

Idunno i just. Like to draw. I need to create stuff. And everything around me influences the way i draw. Including you btw your art is incredible and It is honestly fascinating studying the texture of your brushes and strokes. Thank you for asking me :]

[blixabargelds]

do u have tips, inspirations etc for creating emotional resonance in writing?

wahh sweet anon i’m so flattered you’re asking me 🥹❤️

i think a combination of personal experience and intense research and empathyyyy. and when i say personal experience i don’t necessarily mean that someone has to have been through something specific to write about it but you need to have some real emotion to draw upon to translate into whatever situation you’re writing. like i’ve never been to war but i have had struggled with dissociating for example so when writing combat fatigue i walk myself through every step of what i’ve felt in a dissociative episode so when applied to something i haven’t experienced the writing feels real because in some ways it is. truly ‘write what you know’. and if you don’t know the whole exact situation you’re writing find something within it that you do know. this is always going to make your writing feel more raw and realistic and your readers will resonate with it deeper because you can just always feel when someone has put an honest part of themselves into their work.

relating to this, emotion is multi-sensory. when i’m trying to depict an emotion i run through All the senses linked to it. im gonna use my own writing as an example bc it’s easiest but please don’t think i like think i’m really any voice of authority on writing. but so like, here i could have just said smth like ‘gale feels immobile’ but instead i’m paying attention to everything he hears and can touch which (i hope) helps the reader put themselves in his position in a more tangible way

Gale lies like a board as John pulls out. Arms at his sides, hands perfectly flat on the sheets. His cock is softening and uncomfortable where it’s still trapped, cum both wet and drying tacky in his pubic hair, on his stomach, on the bed. He breathes. He keeps his eyes shut.

His blood rushes in his ears. The clock on the wall ticks. Cum continues to dry. Gale lies stiff as a dead body.

re: sensory emotion too, this i think expands into headspace and how that’s written on a page. playyy with your words. if you’re writing from a limited pov, ask what’s the difference and what’s the distance between what the character is experiencing vs how they are experiencing it. so for example in this bit of superstar gale is nodding, and as it’s written from his pov instead of saying like ‘he feels himself drifting off’ i’ve used the actual choice of words as a way to follow that feeling.

Without John’s cock in his ass, his thighs over his hips, Gale starts to float before he can begin to recollect his senses. He has a million questions. A million somethings, a million things to say, drifting up and out of his brain like steam. John lifts him gently, dragging him into something hard and curved. Gale is going. See you later, he thinks. Their bath.

is your character thinking clearly? if not, then try making your writing more muddled. is your character tense? try using shorter, clipped sentences. etc etc

next bigggg thing is research. if you are even a little unsure about the topic you’re writing about do so much research into it. me and elo have an entire huge page on our superstar doc of essays and books written by real life addicts, because you can’t just assume that the experience you know or have had or heard of is universal.

and tying into this is empathy. you cannot be writing angst for angst’s sake. and i don’t mean like don’t write angst fic how hilarious would it be if i of all people said that gkgjkfkf but what i mean is that the emotional weight always comes from the care and love you’ve put into thinking up the angsty situation. like i was talking to beloved @irregularcollapse (someone else to pay close attention to when it comes to visceral emotion in their writing) about this the other day like. when i wrote my cnc fic i set out to write a cnc fic. like that’s fine it’s fine to say i’m gonna write this bc i want to write something emotional. but then i put a lot of time and care into trying to really accurately portray the reactions gale has to that situation using like. everything i’ve spoken about above kfhfkfjf. i think sometimes people write something with the intention of Making Readers Cry which almost always ends up in something at best ham-fisted and at worst (and frequently) just offensively sensationalist. you have to really care about the characters to successfully beat them with the metaphorical pipe. show their internal conflict, hint at their relationships to others, follow their thought process. all this Builds to creating emotion that resonates, and if you do all this then the emotion comes naturally and feels real as opposed to A Little Life: Fanfic Version. work forward to the emotion and not backward from it. why is your character feeling this way? how does it manifest? the majority of the time when someone is emotional they’re feeling a mix of several emotions, often can’t even name which. i think when you focus less on This Person Is Angry for example and more on how they’re actually reacting to and processing whatever situation they’re in, it’s going to feel more real bc that’s how emotions manifest in real life.

sorry this is so long i hope it helps!!! i may list some inspo another time when ive had time to collect some in a list ive had. the longest travel day ever and need to turn my brain off now kfjfkfjfj the ones i can think of off the very top of my head rn are dearest B, elo, succession, my dark vanessa, and oslo august 31st but there’s definitely a ton more sources i find profoundly emotionally effective i will have to make a proper list soon 😭❤️

This man made me cry.

In the sense no fricken hairstyle fit him.

I drew him, 20 times. And I'm still not satisfied.

Why am I sending this to you?

You seem nice

SHFOIRGHE ty i am too nice i should start biting ppl ... anyways if u want, id suggest looking at fanart (that depicts him w locs ofc, cus thats what ur going for, dont fall into the curse of straight haired cole) and try mimic what they do !! then u can play around!!

the best way to draw what u wanna (in my experience) is first to practice some more formal/realistic depictions of smth, so u get the hang of it enough to start playing around!!!

Happy birthday Henry, sry I’m posting your grandson instead of you Bbg, but like when I was first drawing scary I gave her a little friendship bracelet like “lol normal gave it to her” (cause I think their friendship is cute) and my plan was always to give normal a similar one post canon because it was clear they were gonna be friends again and scary would probably be more open to that kind of affection! But as the finale got closer and normal happy ending because less realistic I kinda thought what was gonna just be straight up silly posting was gonna feel more bittersweet, but I still wanted to draw smth cute, normal and scary you will always be famous to me
