This screenshot represents Ollie, Ivy, Bernie, Cleo, Pyper, Dahlia and Mayor Vicky at Woody's Xmas Bonus Party.

This one represents Ollie, Bernie, Cleo, Pyper and Mayor Vicky joining Bobby and BoDean's Militia.

The next one represents Dahlia is revealed to be in Bobby and BoDean's Militia, while Ivy and Mayor Vicky are also held hostage along with Woody.

This one represents Maria and Stu doing what appears to be "sharing the bedsheets" while high on marijuana, while the Pupa glares at them suspiciously...

This one represents a tired Pupa in a slumber party with Audrey, Dot and Lotta.

This one is just crossover fanart between "Cupcake & Dino: General Services" and "Ollie's Pack", I even got the Pupa from "Solar Opposites" to appear in this picture.

In this picture, Mayor, Cup, Dino, Chance, Hugo and Steak are spending some alone time together, not noticing the Pupa, of course.

This one shows Cleo, Bernie and Ollie, taking a break at the school hallway, without noticing the Pupa as well.

This one shows a neutered Malloy, but with Cleo and Dahlia enjoying his pain, while Ollie and Bernie are suspicious about his vasectomy.

This one shows Audrey worried about Hopscotch, but with Pyper babysitting the Pupa.

[lady-owl]

Hey everyone, long time no post. Just been... bleh lately.. and chilling with some Halo Infinite off and on over the holidays as a much needed break.

But of course that leads to a Halo fanart itch I gotta scratch so lets get the ball rolling with a warm up sketch I did on Xmas day. Had to stretch my Sangheili drawing muscles since it's been so long. 

I’ll be catching up over the next few days posting WIPs, and while a lot of my newest WIPs are Halo related, no worries to those who enjoy my Mewtwo / Pokemon fanarts, I got you covered, too. ;)

HAPPY KIDLAW EXCHANGE 2020 @eloha !

I was your Secret Santa and I’ve done this fanart for you. Nop, that’s not all of it: that’s only a preview since I don’t know how far can I go through Tumblr’s censorship, so I invite you to visitr my Deviantart CerezaSP

And, of course, here’s your little gift: KidLaw4ELOHA

The prompt was “Law in a corset, maybe Kid tightening the ribbons up for him. Like Law blushing while Kid is smiling sadistically. Modern setting.” Hopefully it satisfied your expectations!! It was totally fun :) I’d resume it like:

Law: You are definitelly enjoying this too much, Eustass-ya.

Kidd: Haha, you bet!

As extra, I added its lineart both from the background (proudly hidden for the lovely lovers) and the Captains (on which I added a erections because, why not, it’s Xmas time!)

Special thanks to @kidlawexchange2020 for this proyect and their wasting of time doing this for us!!!! thank you very much :)

BNHA Chapter 242: The Christmas Chapter, 1 year later

Hey everyone! Since I wasn’t doing the MHA chapter reviews back in September (I really wish I had at the time, cause that arc was amazing) I never actually did a formal review of the Christmas Chapter. In honor of the day, I figured I’d go back and reread it, post my thoughts, and just generally have fun looking at Class 1-A having fun (because dammit it’s been a long time since Deku and co were actually happy.) 

Let’ go!

I’m sure that plan’ll go great. (Oh who am I kidding, the actual internships were awesome, it’s just the aftermath that sucked for all)

But all our fandom theories! I cry, pointing at the thousands of pages of speculation.

NOW ONTO THE PARTY

BEST PARTY EVER. My god they all look so happy and festive.

BONES. My folks at Bones. You know me and filler, we’re not friends. But you guys do such good original MHA content in general. At the very least - an OVA, a filler ep, a movie, whatever - you must find a way to give us some of these ladies internships from this arc. I have to know how Jirou (and Shoji) get along with Gang Orca. Show us what Majestic is like. Give us some idea of Ryukyu’s agency.

Mostly posting this cause  Deku is too goddamn cute to be allowed. Also, feels.

1) Mina and Kaminari doing the good work this chapter. Lowkey MVPs. 2) Bakugou in that lower right hand panel=Really Really Pretty. Damn. Prettiest Kacchan since the Glamouroki incident.

This foreshadowing didn’t really go anywhere. Though I still hold out hope that since Jeanist didn’t like the Current Hero Name either that he’ll change it to something more interesting in future. (Literally everyone but Shoto, Ochako, Toko, Tsu and Iida needs to change their hero names anyway.)

Mina developing Nana/Ochako’s powers and floating in the air to get the coat on. Also, Shoto is only shown watching Kacchan this chapter, not Deku. The TDBK is strong with this one.

See what I mean?

Posting just for the Foodservice. Damn that’s a nice looking turkey.

CuteService time. Merry Xmas Eri, you lil badass. You and Deku both are just too adorable for words.

More festive imagery just because I need it. I wonder if they’ll bring back Jirou’s singing  voice for this scene in Season 5?

So Jirou got Sero’s, Sero got Tsu’s, Mina must’ve gotten Kirishima’s (MY SHIPPER HEART) and is being really irresponsible with it, Kaminari got...I don’t know who would’ve given him a basketball but he seems sad about it. Iida got Momo’s I think? That rarepair getting some love. And Bakugou...glasses, maybe? Are they Iida’s? 

Eri easily got the best gift of all. I want future ProHero Eri fanart to include this sword.

Deku looking adorably androgynous here, with the suit cinched in in the middle. Also DekuJirou is lowkey becoming my fave het ship for Deku (possibly for Kacchan too, actually) so seeing her offer him help brings a smile to my face.

Though of course WonderDuo’s true OT3 steps in quickly to reclaim his crown.

1. More Androgynous dress-like Deku which is too cute. 2. Shoto wasn’t shown listening to Deku’s problems earlier but just offers him anyway, can’t forget that TDDK, 3. That direct look at Kacchan though. 

Merry Christmas, Wonder Duo. Want a job?

Those three panel shots are really nice. It’s weird to think that before this arc, the concept of Todo, Kacchan and Deku as a trinity wasn’t really a thing. Like, there was the three separate  rivalries, but they were all their own separated things pretty much. You didn’t see all three of them together on their own, but now it’s so established the third movie’s gonna be about the trinity. There is something kind of amazing about the synergy of Class 1-A’s Big 3. They have trouble getting along, and yet they just fit together so neatly. 

Anyway enough OT3 Gushing. Christmas time is here and this chapter is a blast. CANNOT WAIT FOR SEASON 5. GET YOURSELF WELL AND OVER WITH 2020. 

[marauderssequels]

for some reason i cant send in asks, so ill do it as submissions, i got quite a few hcs (some of which are way too specific for this stage of planning, but whatever)

James:

Some other girl(s) polyjuicing into lily to get with James

James being cis-straight and a great ally (who still makes mistakes, but listens when its being pointed out, and educates himself)

Bad valentine’s poems

Peter:

peter either being explicitly a-spec or having serious partner(s)

i could imagine trans peter, however there would have to be other rep, because he ultimately is a bad character

peter being competent

Sirius:

Sirius speaking very good noble french (black family requirement)

Sirius being a big flirt but actually being very self conscious about his sexuality and stuff and getting very flustered when things are actually going somewhere

Sirius getting a magical tattoo of the moon that changes with the phases

Sirius being jealous of James when he meets his parents

Sirius growing his hair out every year, but having to cut it over the summer (it’s not too long yet at Xmas, so his parents let it slide)

Remus:

Remus having anxiety

sarcastic Remus

in canon it says somewhere that ppl thought Remus had a problematic bunny at home, and i need more of that

demi-bi Remus (if lily isnt)

its pretty much canon that Remus loves chocolate, but i like to think that sirius loves chocolate and Remus gets it from him

Remus and Pomfrey being close in some way

Remus having an extreme glow-up thanks to lycanthropy

Remus liking his meat less well done around the moon

Some ppl thinking Remus is Trans, bc of his “time of the month” (him getting moody, and the guys calling it that)

generally marauders:

late night map sessions

The boys definitely have a charmed record player in their dorm

James and Sirius taking mugglestudies and always asking Remus for help

just all kinds of stupid rumors about them, half of them they made up themselves

being friends with the house elves

marauders staying at hogwarts for a few days/the whole winter holidays because of the full

portrayal of the process to become an animagus (i think its official, there was a SuperCarlinBrothers video on it)

having them not just be “gifted” but actually be better and worse in different subjects and work together to balance that

Lily:

lily being bi and being with a girl before James (id love to see her with someone from a different house like Pandora lovegood or narcissa malfoy(black))

Lily writing with pens because it’s easier

Sassy lily

Demiro lily, oblivious to Snape liking her, falls for a girl she’s close to in 5th/6th, only falls for James after they become friends

Mrs potter telling Sirius/lily shes “heard a lot about them”

id love it if whichever book lily breaks her friendship with snape in would be her pov

idk if there’s canonically a certain year when the incident(Sirius telling snape how to get into the womping willow) happens, but it should probably not be the same as snape&lily ending

i believe the incident is earlier than that, so prob in 5th while lily ghosts snape in 6th

Remus and lily being (study-)friends before 7th year

i imagine lily to be a demigirl/female aligned nonb

Lily looking up to alice

other characters:

Pandora lovegood being lucious malfoy’s younger sister

generally Pandora and xenophilious lovegood

the black sisters and their relationship to Sirius and Regulus

Marlene&Sirius friendship, her teaching him make-up (regardless of what his gender will be)

i understood it the way that Fabian and Gideon weren’t twins, because i think it was mentioned here that way, but i might be wrong

I’m pretty sure hagrid was already whatever his position was called

i think Augusta longbottom would be a lot like molly with letters and stuff

idk how old rosmerta is but she could be a boys magnet as a student

Edgar bones in hufflepuff, Amelia in either hufllepuff or ravenclaw

Marlene and Dorcas at some point fuse wardrobe

snape not being that good at potions at first but when lily turns out to be good at it and enjoy it he throws all his energy into it to become as good as he is

I imagine frank (and alice) to be a year older than them, mostly bc I’d want the marauders to have the dorm to themselves

Trans McG

some more thoughts and hcs

prank traditions, id think they would do their biggest prank of the year on Halloween, which they’d start planning on the train ride

prank wars (maybe the girls challenge the marauders, or there’s an unofficial house cup)

two character’s owls hating each other for no reason (ik how random this is)

magic drinking games (later on)

Period cramp curse (a curse that causes pain comparable to period cramps)

The spell to hang someone in the air by their ankles gaining so much popularity that they start using it to wake each other up

girls’ dorms rejecting trans guys, and letting trans girls in

unicorns disliking trans guys, and liking trans girls (unicorns are said to prefer girls over boys)

sirius and/or remus are often smoking in fanfic/fanart, but I would dislike that to be the case here

they might be asked to tutor some younger students in later years (great way to have a bit younger characters in there)

inter-house relationships (including slitherins)

slug club, who gets in (lily of course, but else), what do they do, how important is it to the students

Some stupid professor giving muggleborns bad grades

Thestral lesson

id like every book to have a focus on a different character, but not be too strict about it? so like have a few chapters with a different pov thrown in there

a-spec rep!! (i could help with that)

allergies, like someone there gotta have some right?

even tho this is set in 1971-78, you could use modern day terminology for gender and orientation things, at least id prefer that

gender euphoria!! its a great feeling and needs more rep

eating disorders

not having all characters leave hogwarts in the relationships we know them in

ocs!! just a bunch all over the place, some more in the foreground than others and in all houses

they’d have changing dada teachers

having more diverse religious rep

I imagine them to be in the same dorm every year

I think there was a dragonpox epidemic going on (which later killed the potters)

id love to help with this project, idk how good id be as a writer, but i could prob edit and research/brainstorm, also i could help if you wanted to make any German characters

Finally set up my Magnus (well, RQ-extended) shrine!

Listing of things, top-to-bottom and left-to-right:

-on the window: calligraphy of my favourite Magnus quote in history (from MAG123) from @soveryanon​, fanart of the ocean-door quote from MAG127, by me

-on the grid: novelty owl clothespin, Red String brought by @aneilert & @bittercape and knitted by... i think Ky? whose username i don’t have? at the May 2018 fan meet-up, London pin badges, @visitorpasszine goodies by artists @jaegerfker420, (polaroid), @emperiocism, @kalgalen, @saphizzle, @galway-bae, @sarakipin, @mygys, @marimo-art, @snail-drop & @glassesblu

-on the grid: xmas polaroid in the top right by @megzilla87 and coma miniprint+Entity stickers in the middle by @saphizzle again that. i thought i got with the zine too? but apparently must have got from them at RQGG 2019 (it was my London-December goodies pile okay) (of COURSE i got more Entity stickers but they’ve been used.)

-on the sill: novelty cassette loudspeaker I bought at the British Library, (one of?) the first beaded owl(s) by @soveryanon, official Magnus Institute pin from RQGG19, official Redbubble Magnus Institute mug filled with my well-worn game of Slash! TMA, a kitty ace pride badge whose source i. can’t find, novelty owl terrarium, Vast badge handmade by @chyww for Halloween ‘19 francophone meetup.

-on the window: Original™ Dasira art @saphizzle made me at the May ‘18 meetup <3, miniprint by @planetsandmagic from Visitor’s Pass zine, The™ deliciously fucked/fogged up copy of miniprint by @thisriverdraws and apocalypse boyfriends by @kalgalen obtained from them at RQGG19, French shitpost drawing of Tim & Elias (+ Jon in the top left corner) by @juicywizards, sticker sheets from Visitor’s Pass zine by @yumbles and @borntoshrivel​.

-Visitor’s Pass zine, Run. minizine of @kalgalen’s shitpost comics, cassette tapes by @onyxior​ of the playlist they made for my Big Bang fic which are SO FUCKING COOL and make me smile every time i see them, Little Prince Moleskine notebook where I’ve been taking notes for said fic, Vast-y hairpin gifted by Cass that I worn at RQGG and DttM, a small fake book that’s actually a secret box because it’s cool and looks like a Leitner, London skyline bookend.

-RQG corner: kobold sticker by @megzilla87 which I’m fairly sure was actually made before Skraak came in but hey!, official RQG pin, dragon hoard pin obtained as freebie from Squidyjen, and a copy of 50 Queers Who Changed The World by Dan Jones because i bought it at the British Library bookshop on one of the RQ trips to London, it features Oscar Wilde, and I just thought it was morbidly funny to put it in the shrine right now.

-Mechanisms corner: mini-posters for High Noon Over Camelot and Ulysses Dies At Dawn, Aurora pin, and map of the Bifrost Incident signed by the crew, all obtained at the Death to the Mechanisms Saturday show.

ignore the box if you recognise what it is, it just made for a convenient and pretty platform

This is right in front of my face when I’m sitting at my table/desk, I am Ready™ for Magnus Season 5.

follow/reblog for more ActionFigures FanArt

dialogue and image descriptions under the ↓ readmore ↓ 

this photostory uses my old half-TARDIS (the front half, of course) that i got second- or third-hand from a doll buddy on fb, with a bunch of printed-out posters and things stuck to it ‘haphazardly’.  there are the classic VOTE SAXON [X] posters and then over them are some contemporary-ish protest stickers, like against brexit or trump, pro-refugee, ACAB, that sort of thing.  

there is a dirty grey brick wall behind the TARDIS. on the door that opens is a letterbox slot with a worn, weathered card below it with the names “J. Smith” and “H. Razor”. maybe they’ve been ‘parked’ here for some time. it’s not a busy street with passers-by, more like one of those alleys or lots that the TARDIS prefers to land in. (i really should have put some rubbish around but tbh i forgot)

Tenth Doctor (standing outside the TARDIS): hey, Master, come have a look at this?

Simm!Master (peeks one eye out the door): huh?

Ten: someone seems to have vandalised your vandalism

S!M (comes out the door, trying to look bewildered): how could you accuse me of that?! my dignity is dealt a mortal blow! i would NEVER--

Ten: i'm sorry... but... do you really think anyone else has kept a stack of VoteSaxon posters for sentimental reasons?!

S!M: ...i would NEVER hang posters CROOKED. don’t you know me at all?!

Bill Potts appears and takes in the situation: oh nice! look, Razor, there's already some great protest stickers over the posters you put up when you were drunk after the xmas party... (S!M is grasping his hair in an OH CRAP sort of gesture, behind her)

Bill (putting her hands up to her face):  Oops!! (Ten and S!M are already sort of trying not to smile, especially not at each other)

Bill: I mean... fkn London, yeah?  Ten and S!M: yeah, fookin London!

Bill (waving): i'm off to work, seeya next time! S!M (waving): give my regards to UNIT.  Ten (with one arm round S!M, either protectively or restrainingly, lbr it’s probably both): NO, REALLY, DON'T.

PS: i think they will end up leaving all stuff stuck to the TARDIS... as long as the ship herself doesn’t seem to mind (and i’m pretty sure the outside is developed not to feel pain or discomfort, that would be very impractical in some of the situations they get into), it probably makes for better camouflage.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

truly unbelievable stretch in this oeuvre this year like making it to the billions conclusion? incredible. of course it was [disappointed but not surprised] material and a fascinating completion of the data set regarding billions' counterproductive self-imposed limitations in the questions it will ask and but even so they still name an episode after winston and his dick and they still provide the key essence of [best taylor mason finale] and even more little wins beyond that including simply the feats from will & akd whenever given any material and screentime no matter what and despite it all and just fucking remarkable. having summer stock during that time too and learning oh shit it's a delight, oh fuck orville's getting to be theatrical, and blossoming, and gay, and here's his personal & professional likewise delightful collaborator guy, & their performing the love song for which the show within a show is named together beautifully, ft. metaphorically meaningful kneeling, the lucky day number, the lines, the deliveries, the enthusiasm, the testimonials, and my cup just runneth over. then the 13th annual joe iconis christmas extravaganza being announced like auugh and then the site updating like yes and as a bonus william's in it like aaaaaugh and then as a further bonus suspecting and having it confirmed he's cyril von miserthorpe christmas villaining again And relayed like and it's a [villain fucks the krampus] variation year again like turning around jumping for joy did you hear that, cyril fucks the krampus this year!! which isn't even to mention all the other glimpses of delights and treats just bolstering everything as per the nature of the extravaganza, as a bonus of a success again managing to create some xmas xtrav fanart for myself and anyone and a thank you note faxed to joseph in the midst of the ongoing shows and then being like star light star bright please three in a row let us see this full baby it's cold outside scene now of all times tonight and then there's joe posting like "okay xmas clips and first out of the gat, full bico scene" and i'm living and revelling and like. all of this is unbelievable, my heart is full

Philes’ Xmas Advent Calendar Prompt Days 22 and 23: reindeer and Santa Claus. Tagging @today-in-fic @txf-prompt-box @only-txf-fanart

Set sometime in Season 1, before all the minor character deaths occurred. Scully’s first time at Mulder’s apartment.

Significant Gesture

Scully takes a moment to take in the dated, brick brown building before stepping out of her car and being greeted by the mild late-November afternoon weather. Putting on her trench coat, she notices that there were some trees still hanging onto their gold-and-red colored leaves lining the building. She reads the address located above the archway of its main entrance: 2630 Hegal Place. A couple of residents exits the building without a passing glance her way as she stands aside for them before entering the main hallway, and passing by the row of mailboxes to the single elevator that services the complex. Scully pushes the number 4 button and waits for the elevator to slowly make its way up to the fourth floor. She steps out of the elevator and notices that the even-numbered units are on her left. Scully reaches unit 42 and knocks on the door. She notices that the number “2” is slightly askew, but before she has a chance to adjust it, Mulder answers the door. He is casually dressed in a long sleeve dark grey top with the sleeves rolled up and jeans.

“Hey, Scully. Thanks for swinging by after visiting your parents,” Mulder said as he ushers her inside.

“It’s no problem, Mulder,” she answers as she takes in Mulder’s apartment. It definitely has the bachelor pad ambiance with its eclectic furniture pieces. She notices a telescope propped beside a window nearby the entry to his kitchen. There’s an empty laundry basket atop his dining table with a basic turn-style kitchen timer beside it. He leads her further inside where she finds that he is in the process of cleaning his fish tank.

“Hold on just a moment, Scully. I’m almost finished…” Mulder trails off as he pours a large jug of water into the tank, sending his three goldfishes scurrying to one end. She watches as he tests the pH levels of the fish tank before replacing its top.

“Let me dispose of this,” Mulder said motioning towards a pile of wet towels and a bucket of dirty tank water he’d siphoned before she arrived. He quickly gathers the items and makes a beeline to the kitchen while shouting, “Oh! And welcome to my humble abode, Scully!”

He leaves her alone giving her a chance to observe his living room. She glances down at the coffee table and smirks at Mulder’s idea of a coffee-table book— Playpen magazine—next to an ashtray filled with empty shells of sunflower seeds. A cream-and-black afghan blanket with Aztec designs is haphazardly strewn on the black leather couch. Scully gathers the blanket and folds it, placing it neatly on the end nearest to the fish tank. She notices something red in the tank among the aquarium plant décor as she steps in closer to take a look.

“Think my fishes like their new neighbor?” Mulder asks returning from the kitchen. He stoops beside her to observe his fish tank, his left arm brushing against her right shoulder in the process.

“Santa Claus in a snorkeling outfit?” She gives him a sideways glance and sees his upturned lips in profile. His hazel eyes are shining brightly from the light illuminating the fish tank.

“I figured the fishes could be festive for me this year. It’s a shame; I couldn’t find any reindeer to keep Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick company.”

“Hmmm...guess there aren’t any snorkels that would fit a reindeer.” Mulder turns his head towards her giving her a lopsided smile. He stands upright and grabs the fish food from the second shelf. Scully watches the goldfishes madly swim up to the top fighting for the pellets scattered on the water’s surface.

“They act as if I never feed them.” He sets the fish food down on the shelf as he perches on the sofa arm rolling his shirt sleeves down. “Take note how much I fed them, Scully.” She arches her right eyebrow at Mulder. He gets up and walks over to his desk, and opens the drawer, briefly rummaging through it until he reveals a key. Scully looks at him questioningly.

“Here’s a copy of my apartment key, for when I need you to feed my fish.” He drops the key into her outstretched hands. Scully looks at the key and feels its ridges with her right index finger. This is a significant gesture, she thought to herself, another degree of trust. She glances up at him and must have had a troubled expression on her face, as he raises his hands upright as if in surrender.

“Hey, don’t think there’s any obligation nor pressure for you to return the gesture, Scully. I just figured since you’re my partner now…”

“No—right—I mean, it makes sense,” she stammers nodding her head, “It’s actually long overdue. I should’ve given you a copy of my key since Eugene Tooms’ incident.” She takes out her set of keys and threads his onto her key ring. “I’ll give you a copy of my key tomorrow at the office, Mulder.” He worries his bottom lip still eyeing her.

“Also, um…I was wondering if I can have you be my medical power of attorney if anything happens to me while on duty.” Scully nods.

“Yes, of course, I can be your medical power of attorney, Mulder.” She averts her eyes and starts to chuckle at the weight of it all. “Geez! Way to spring this all on me without even a proper date!” She glances back at him to see a surprised expression on his face. Oh. She feels her blush start to spread across her cheeks as she stuffs her keys back into her coat pocket, her eyes downcast in embarrassment. She didn’t mean it that way. Mulder lightly taps her on her left elbow to get her attention.

“Hey, I’ll treat you out tomorrow. Any place you like,” Mulder replies smiling softly at her once he recovered. “I can’t wait to tell my former ASAC that he’s completely off the hook to call the medical shots for my sorry ass. He’ll be jealous to hear that my partner is also a certified doctor.” Scully smirks.

“I’ll draft something up for each of us to sign, then. We can go over it during lunch at the Old Ebbit Grill.”

“Old Ebbit Grill?!”

“No take backs. You said any place I want,” she replies as she pokes his chest with her right index finger. Before he could respond, the timer buzzes from the dining area.

“I guess that’s my cue to head out,” Scully said looking at the front door as she drops her right hand to her side.

“I’ll follow you. The laundry room is located in the basement.” He grabs his keys off his desk and grabs the laundry basket off the dining table as the two head out to the hallway. Scully looks at him curiously when she sees him heading towards the stairwell instead of waiting for the elevator. He turns to look at her, his back against the stairwell door as he props it ajar.

“It’s just faster this way. I gotta make a run to retrieve my clean laundry before somebody else decides to leave it on the countertop. See you tomorrow, Scully! And thanks!” He shoots her a shy, boyish grin as she waves goodbye to him. The stairwell door closes behind Mulder. Scully reaches into her coat pocket for her set of keys. She looks at his key hanging next to hers and smiles.

Today my boss told me that she used to draw a lot in middle school, but she wasn’t very good. I told her I sucked in middle school, too, but she didn’t seem to believe me. I may have to try and find some drawings from back then to show her.

Like, I SUCKED in middle school. I first started trying to draw people (well, more substantially than just stick figures) in fifth grade. I could only draw on lined paper, and I still couldn’t make things line up. Not even horizontally. I started folding the paper in half, drawing one side of the face/person, then folding it back over and tracing it to the other side in order to make it symmetrical, but that just brought up different problems (like, I couldn’t judge how far away the eye should be from the center line, for example). And it still wasn’t symmetrical half the time.

About halfway through seventh grade, I switched over to unlined paper, and I don’t know if I actually was able to line things up better or if it was just less obvious when I couldn’t, but either way, after I got used to drawing on unlined paper, I was never able to go back to lined. And my anatomy then was completely wacked out. The heads were too big, I really only had a vague idea of where the different parts of the face went on them, the backs weren’t curvy enough, the arms were too long, the legs too short. I was better when drawing directly from a photo, of course - but only if it was a drawing in an anime style. I could not draw real people. My style was extremely shoujo, and I had no idea how to translate real people into that, especially with my tenuous grasp of anatomy. And even though I could more or less emulate a different style if I drew from it, I could not draw realistic people, from a photo or otherwise.

In tenth grade - I can’t remember if it was for my birthday or xmas (you’d think I would, since they’re 4 months apart, but nope) - I got an anatomy book for the manga artist, and suddenly my anatomy improved drastically. From the chin to the eye line is the same as from the eye line to the top of the head. The crotch to the top of the head is, in anime proportions, equal to the crotch to the ankle. The wrist is level with the crotch, and the elbow is halfway between the shoulder and the wrist. The hand is as tall as the face, and the base of each finger falls midway between its tip and the base of the palm. And - backs have curves!! Regardless of whether a person’s body primarily has testosterone or estrogen.

In high school, I also started adding more shounen elements to my style. It still leaned toward shoujo, but it was no longer overly so. The eyes were still a bit oversized, but they no longer took up like half the face, practically. I still had trouble with anatomy, but it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as in middle school.

I discovered fandom in college, and I started drawing fanart. I drew quite a bit for Tennis no Oujisama, but I drew even more for Bungou Stray Dogs when I got into that when the anime started airing. I incorporated a lot of elements both from Asigiri’s style and from the anime’s style into my own, and I later incorporated a bit of the Kuroko no Basuke anime’s style. My style could no longer be called shoujo, but I don’t know that it could exactly be called shounen, either, or if it was somewhere in the middle. Anatomy would give me a bit of trouble here and there, but nowhere near as much or as often as before.

About a year and a half or so later, I got harassed out of the BSD fandom by asshole Fyodor apologists, and I turned to live-action sci-fi - mainly Star Trek and Stargate. I stopped drawing as much, but I’d still draw a bit, but now it was all real people, and my style took yet another turn toward being more realistic. Most of the time, when I tried to draw real people, they would end up looking more or less like who they were supposed to. But soon enough, my depression from having my biggest, most important hyperfixation (BSD) ripped suddenly away from me caught up to me, and I stopped drawing altogether for a while. I left behind my old blogs and made enbyboiwonder, starting over. I tried to start drawing again, but I’d all but forgotten how and I no longer had that drive to create that I’d had when I was in the BSD fandom, so it never really went anywhere.

Then, last year, I got back into Dragon Quest - and not just the DQIX game like in high school, but the fandom and more games from there - and after a few months, I started drawing again. And here I am now, trying to relearn everything I had learned since getting that manga anatomy book and trying to find a style that works for me again.

I still suck now, but like, nowhere near as badly as in middle school. That shit’s cringy af

Hello! First: your art is amazing! Second: can I repost the fanart you made of Victor in a Christmas sweater sticking his tongue out on the Facebook page I coordinate? With credits and links to this page of course... Third: I didn't understand what he is "saying" in this drawing. Can you enlighten me? 😅

Hi! thank you so much. Ummm, I have a Facebook page so I’d appreciate it a lot more if you’d find the post there and share it directly from the site. (it’s from xmas last year hah) it says “cheese”!
