Make it Right

Chapter one- Love returned

┗━━━✦❘༻♡༺❘✦━━━┛

Pairing: Astrid Deetz x Fem!Ghost!reader

Context: Astrid and you have been dating two years before a tragic accident happened to you, ending your life. She spends a year alone somehow trying to contact you from the living as you're in the afterlife. When finding that all of her attempts are futile, she turned to her mother's ability but was quickly reminded of how her mother "somehow" could never see the people Astrid wished to see the most.

Warnings: Probably bad writing (I'm sorry), Death

A/N: I'm not so much familiar with tumblr other than reading. I'm not much of a writer either, this would be like the first piece I post ever. I'm sorry if there are any mistakes, I will correct as many as I see. Also, my brain was a bit foggy when remembering the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie so if there's a mistake in that too, I'm sorry. Other than that, I hope you guys enjoy. I have been heavily inspired by many other amazing writers and I hope I really do capture all of the characters as correctly as I can. Also, I'm not expecting this series to blow up, i'll add another chapter if I see many people interact with this one.

Letʼs be honest, Astrids life was definitely not one that usually someone finds themselves in. A ‘psychicʼ mother, who Astrid believes makes things up, an artist grandmother who seems to be an emotional wreck now that her husband is dead, and finally, a father who she no longer has. Astrid couldn't recall the last time her life was stable, from the beginning it had always be something with her family.

Now, with the passing of her grandfather and her mother suddenly marrying her manager who she is blindly following and clearly not seeing how he exploits her. She finds her world completely upside down and the one time she finds someone who makes her feel at least a bit normal, the universe seems to keep taking any form of normalcy from her. Once upon a time, it had been you and Astrid. The one person who kept her head straight as her world span.

Granted, you didn't come from the perfect family either but you always had found a way to excuse their actions despite Astridʼs constant nagging about your family and their almost pertinacious attitudes.

Your mother, a woman who almost seems to so desperately want to fit in with the women of the neighborhood. Your father who loved his image and his family's image. Your older sister who was always trying to somehow one-up you. Your family cared about the big things, you always found yourself content with the small things. You had always excused their behaviors with simple statements like,

“That's just how they are.” or, “No family is perfect.”

Astrid would cave eventually to your excuses but not with good attitude. Now remembering it, it felt like such a close but distant memory. It had only been a year, almost two, of your passing and yet Astrid finds herself dug in a hole the universe seemed to only bury her deeper in. Every memory had been bittersweet. Between every laugh shared, smiling in the middle of kisses, comforting smells theyʼd grow to find solace in, compliments, listening to music together, there had also been disagreements, comforting each other about things that neither of them had caused or been involved in, emotional damage, and trying to balance finding middle ground in each otherʼs crazy lives.

A year.

The thought of it makes Astrid almost wince, thoughts that seemed to be never ending and had loose ends. Why wasn't she there? She had always thought to herself. Why didn't she stop you? Questions to be left unanswered now that you were gone and she had no one to turn to. She had gone to her mother, who she had never believed was a ghost whisperer or paranormal insighter as everyone saw her, practically begging to have her somehow see you, hear you, feel you. But, like every attempt, they were once again futile.

This had made her more angry with her mother. First, she couldn't see her father and now she can't see you. Why is that every time she needs her mother to see a certain ghost for her, she never can but for others she can? It all felt stupid to her, how could people believe her mother?

Astrid found herself visiting Winter River frequently despite not liking staying with her grandmother and mother, especially when that daft man her mother called a “boyfriend” was around. She saw right through his act of the ‘caring, loving, and supportive’ boyfriend. Yet, she felt like she was the only one who could see that. How could someone propose to someone on the day of their father's wake?! She disliked the town, even more the people who foolishly believed her mother “abilities” to see paranormal phenomenons.

Yet, there she had spent most of her free time at the town during spring, summer, and winter break. Her relationship with Winter River had always been horrible yet she couldn't bring herself to say that she hated it there. How could she say that when it was this very same town that she had met you?

Standing there once again, in front of a grave that she became all too familiar with. Yours. It was almost comical how your parents had practically milked your death with every ounce they could get from it. Parading around the town, almost as if making it an excuse to gain from. They had quickly became the family in which everyone had gone to support when you had died. People would constantly go to your home, try to show their support, bring gifts even. Your parents loved every second of the attention.

No surprise that your mother had gained popularity among the women of your neighborhood's community. They only pitied her but masked it with sympathy as your mother would say, “She would've loved to be here” whenever someone had invited her to some so-called ‘important’ event among the other dull rich women. Your father had gotten a raise from his job after your death, again, out of pity of the poor family who had lost their ‘precious’ daughter. Your sister had gotten annoyed about how much you had been the focus after your death. She had expect people to move on after months but now seeing that it has been one, almost two, years of your passing and you being the center of attention, it had made her a bit bitter.

As Astrid stood in front of your grave and the flowers that adorned it, a small half-hearted smile on her lips. Many of the times that she had found herself in front of your grave, though she thought that somehow talking to the dead and getting a response back was stupid, she had always found herself talking out-loud to your grave, hoping for a sign or response that never really came.

“I miss you. Iʼm sorry that I havenʼt visited recently. My grandfather passed away, guess heʼd be with you now, right? Sometimes I wonder if youʼre with my dad or talk to him over there. I know if you were to be listening to me, you'd be rubbing it in my face how I always thought these kinds of things were stupid and now iʼm standing here like an idiot talking to myself and expecting a response from you.”

She smiled to herself as she thought about how youʼd tease her for this. She missed the banter between the two of you, her smile somewhat fading at the empty ache in her heart.

“I wish I could say that I hate you for leaving me here by myself, knowing that life is hard. We were supposed to be going through this life together, though. I wonʼt, I canʼt. I love you and my chest is aching every single day at this back and forth in my mind of memories that we should be looking back at together, happily, and now I just get this bittersweet feeling with the horrible reminder of your death. As much as I don't like it or believe it, I wish I had somehow gained this stupid ability my mother thinks she has.”

Astrids voice had faltered as she felt a frown tugging at her lips and her tears begin to faintly blur her vision. She took a deep breath, pulling herself together as she spoke again.

“I just want you to come home. I know that I always thought it was stupid how you had said ʻhome is where the heart isʼ, but truly I had just felt so bashful to think that someone like me could possibly be someone's home. The statement itself, I had always thought was a bit corny. Now, I find myself saying that I want to go home even while being at home. Funny, huh? You were always such a sap..”

With that and a sad smile, Astrid backed away from your grave. A soft sigh escaping her lips as she once again hoped that you had somehow received her words.

━━━━✦❘༻♡༺❘✦━━━━

Hours later, Astrid found herself, once again, in your room. She sneaks in through the window because she hates the idea of having to knock on the front door and have a conversation with your parents. They had been supportive of your relationship, yes, but like everything else, it was for their own personal gain. They had seen how other families were inclusive so they thought if they were too, theyʼd fit in more. Astrid had already known that they wouldn't dare to go into your room.

Your family had always hated the way that you decorated your room with endless posters, music, records and vinyls here and there, you loved your music. It was drastically differently from your sister and parents which preferred a more elegant and clean look. Thatʼs why whenever there were visitors, theyʼd never introduce your room to them. Yet, it was your safe haven and Astrid knew that.

After your death, she had taken it upon herself to take care of your vinyls, CDʼs, record player, and plants, all taken cared of. She felt that it made her feel like you were still here. As if she was staying in your room while you were out and about in the town. Her imagination took her far when it came to making up excuses for your absence rather than accepting the fact that you were dead.

She hummed to herself as she finished watering the last plant in your room. Once she was finished, she had gone over to your records, flipping through each of them, trying to find a song to play. Thatʼs when she had heard a small noise in the room. It was unusual to say the least, no one had ever dared to come into your room, it was just her. She shrugged it off as nothing or simply a noise coming from your window.

Then again, a small noise. The noise of a shoe squeaking from across the room. Her eyebrows had furrowed before she whipped her head around towards the direction of the noise. Upon landing her eyes on your face. She felt as if she was dreaming but it had startled her so that she felt her vision suddenly blacking out. When falling back, all she could remember was the feeling of someoneʼs cold hands catching her.

When Astrid awoke, she found herself lying on your bed despite having passed out almost across the room near your records. She almost dreaded waking up, she could have sworn she had seen you. Was it a dream? Did she make it up in her head because she missed you so much? Her vision blurred a bit before finally focusing, the feeling of a dip in the bed and a cold hand holding hers had startled her.

Quickly, she had shot up and off of your bed. Her eyes finally landing on you who had also shot up on the other side of the bed when she did.

“Where are we going?-” You had began speaking before you were cut off by Astrids loud exclaim.

“What the fuck!”

Your eyes scanned the room, your eyebrows furrowed as you turned around to see if there had been anyone behind you which earned a scoff from the other girl.

“Wait, you can see me now?” You asked as your eyebrows raised and your eyes returned to Astrid across the bed.

“Can I see you? Yeah, the better question is can I believe it? Is this another dream?” Astrid climbed over the bed and flung herself onto you. She clung onto your, now, cold body, that hadnʼt bothered her right now.

“What's the matter? You look like youʼve seen a ghost.” Your arms wrapped around the girl almost protectively, a soft laugh escaping you.

“Not funny.” Her words were flat, but a hint of a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. She almost didnʼt know what to say as she stared at you. She had dreamed of you before, sure, but never like this. This felt too real. Your skin was more pale and less live as she had usually dreamed, your body cold, your chest was stilled, as if not taking air in or out. She hadnʼt noticed her bottom lip quivering or the tears in the corner of her eyes that had began to form.

“Hey, hey... Donʼt get all sappy on me now, iʼve been watching you this whole time! I hope you know that I followed you literally everywhere.” Your hands had gone to cup her cheeks, gently wiping away any tears as they fell from Astrid's eyes.

“Youʼd better have.” She had joked which earned another soft laugh from you. The sound of your laugh - so familiar - seemed to set her off. Her arms tightened around your shoulders as all of the feelings she bottled up over the past few months seemed to just burst out of her.

“I literally watched over you for a whole year. Trust me, I heard every word you were saying to the sky or my grave, hoping I was near to hear you. I was and I canʼt believe you've gotten all sappy, Deetz. You always told me that I was the sap and there you were spilling your guts and hoping my ghost was near.” One of her hands unconsciously moving from her cheek to her back, gently rubbing it.

“They were never one-sided conversations, I was always replying you just couldnʼt hear or see me. I did have some one-sided conversations, though. Like when youʼd be listening to my music or watching a movie and laying on my bed, moping, Iʼd be laid next to you and talk to you. I was always geeking out anyway, you know how I am about my passions.” You added and a snort escaped Astrid.

Her grip on you seemed to tighten as your voice registered in her ears. You were here, you were real.

“I know I sounded like an absolute idiot - I sounded like a broken record begging for you.” Her voice said as she buried her face into your shoulder.

“Come on, I never really left your side, Astrid. I was just hoping the entire time that what you had said about your momʼs ability being fake was real and that you'd somehow gain her ghost whispering abilities. I just wanted you to see me, hear me, feel me. Iʼve been so lonely. Sure, I hang out and laugh with you all the time but I missed actually talking to you and you bantering with me.” A frown tugged at your lips involuntarily.

“You didnʼt sound like a broken record. every word youʼd hope I had heard was beautiful - sappy - but beautiful. Gosh, you donʼt know how horrible it has been watching you cry about me and not being able to do anything about it. My ghosted body was always reaching for you but you wouldn't feel a thing. I promise you, I always held you and trying to do anything I can to get you to seem me but nothing was working.” You added as you buried your face into her shoulder, trying to get impossibly closer to her.

“Iʼm not a ghost whisperer. Don't think youʼre on the loose. I am mad at you, for the record.” Her hands balling the fabric of your shirt between her fist. She inhaled and exhaled deeply - as if your presence was the only thing keeping her grounded at the moment.

“I know, I know. I promise to make it up for the rest of my afterlife. Though, you gotta to admit, you have to believe your momʼs abilities now that you can see me. I know you said you hated the attention that your mom receives for being... Well, her. But they weren't fake after all!” You shook your head with a small laugh.

“Ghost whisperer.” You mumbled with a small smile, her hand immediately smacking you in the back of the head. Which had earned a small, ʻowʼ, from you.

“I donʼt-” She had began saying before her protest had been interrupted by a shuddering breath and a few silent tears falling from her eyes as she held onto tightly.

“I donʼt hate them.” She mumbled before sighing.

“I just-” Again, cutting herself off with a scoff. She wiped her tears as she pulled away from your embrace to scan your face with a soft smile.

“Gosh, I canʼt even remember what I was about to say. Iʼm so happy to see you and i'm a bumbling idiot and-”

“Iʼm so sorry. I've been trying everything, I swear. I even read that stupid ʻHandbook for the Recently Deceasedʼ from cover to cover many times. Only the strange and unusual could ever see me and I tried to reach for your mom but I couldn't for some reason. Slow down, we have so much to talk about.” You said as a frown tugged at your lips again. If you had a beating heart, it would have ached at Astridʼs tears. All you could find yourself doing was trying to make up for the lost time of not being able to comfort her.

"I feel like I'm losing my make-up skills, I don't like any of my work anymore." You sighed.

You were a make-up artist for nearly 4 years, but now you're feeling like you're not good enough at your work anymore.

"What? Why?" Jake asked surprised, his head peaked out of the kitchen doorframe.

He absolutely adored your work, he was always excited to see new makeups you've done. Overall, he was your biggest supporter.

"I don't know, I'm just not feeling it anymore." You sat on the couch.

"You are saying nonsense." He entered the living room and sat next to you. "I love your work, and you know that."

You chuckled. "I know, I just feel that I need to practice more, I'm not as good as I used to be."

He rolled his eyes. "You are the most talented make-up artist I know!"

"And the only one you know."

"Maybe, but still the best one!"

"Thank you, but I don't feel like it." You smiled gently and pulled him into a hug.

He returned the hug. "You know what, if you want to practice, you can do it on me."

You looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah! As your biggest fan I would love that!" He said excitedly.

"You're really hyped up for this, aren't you?" You chuckled.

"Of course I am! Bring your stuff here."

You smiled and quickly went to your and Jake's shared bedroom for a bag of cosmetics that you used on your clients.

"You got any ideas?" You said, and placed the bag on the table.

"Anything you do will be wonderful."

You rolled your eyes playfully. "I hate when people say that..."

He chuckled. "Okay then, do something..." He stopped for a moment to think. "Green?"

"Green? Really?" You raised your eyebrow.

"What? Is green a bad color?"

"It's awful!" You laughed.

"I hope that's not what you say to your clients when they want green themed make-up..."

"You are not my client..."

"Oh, so that gives you the privilege to say that my choice is bad?" He faked a shocked face.

"Okay, okay, let's go with green..." You sighed playfully.

"Now I don't want green anymore, you said it's awful!" He pouted.

"C'mon Jake!" You tried to hold your laugh.

"Pretend that I'm your client! Suggest me something!"

You grabbed a hair tie and tied his hair back from his face. "Pink?" You said jokingly.

"Sounds good." He smiled as you finished tying his hair.

"Okay let's get to work then." You said with a big smile.

⭑⭒⭒

"Okay, I'm done." After an hour and a half, you were done with his makeover. Still, you weren't really happy with your work, but it wasn't that bad as you thought it would be.

You handed him a mirror so he could see himself for the first time.

"Oh fuck, I look fucking awful with make-up on." He gasped.

You laughed as you threw yourself against the couch while he was dramatizing about how bad he looks.

"I told you, my make-up skills went down..." You sat back up and zipped up your makeup bag.

"No, I mean, it looks amazing, but god I look fucking awful!" He said, still staring at himself in the mirror. "I don't think I'm a good person to practice make-up on..."

You smiled and pulled him into a hug. He put down the mirror and wrapped his arms around you.

"You look hot" You joked, trying not to laugh.

He rolled his eyes playfully. "Oh, thank you"

You chuckled and untied his hair, styling it a little after. He pulled you into a kiss and you broke away immediately. "I'm going to have this stupid lipstick all over my face now!"

He laughed and kissed you again, you sighed and kissed him back this time.

"Besides, the make-up is really good." He said breaking the kiss.

"You are the most supportive boyfriend in the whole world." You cupped his face with both your hands. The lipstick was smudged all over yours, and his lips. "You can wipe everything off if you don't like how it looks on you."

"You spend half an hour on this! I'm not wiping it off until it's time for bed."

"Are you serious?" You tilted your head to the side.

"Yep, because I'm the most supportive boyfriend in the whole world." He repeated what you said earlier and grinned.

"Let me at least fix your lipstick." You unzipped your bag again and took out the lipstick you used on him earlier.

"Anything you do is perfect, love." He said kissing you for the last time before you fixed the lipstick on him.

Even though Jake said that he looks awful with make-up on, it wasn't the last time he suggested you to practice on him.

[elitadream]

My dear, I just want to send a proper message that I’m happy for you that you took priority in your mental wellbeing and health. I will miss your art but I will say that I’m glad that I got to view your masterpieces before your art purge (which I totally understand, don’t worry). I think you’re among the best artists to inspire me to find my own footing and interpretation in the SMB fandom in terms on how I view the characters’ personalities, social dynamics and making my personal headcanons and lore posts and of course, in writing my stories.

Your feedback means so much to me when you commented on some of my stories and they make me smile, knowing that you enjoy them. So thank you for taking the time to read them and telling me what you like about them.

I know that I have previously tagged you in some content and especially in some of my newer stories, my dear. Is it okay if I can continue to do so on occasion? If it does make you feel uncomfortable, I can cease the tagging…please let me know.

Know that I’m glad to have come across you, and that your writing and art have inspired me greatly alongside of many other prodigious artists, writers and other content creators in the SMB fandom.

Thank you so much, my dear.

You're so sweet, thank you! ^-^🫂🩷 It's always amazing for me to hear that I've inspired others in some way, and I'm glad that you were able to build your own vision from it! ✍️✨

Oh, but sure! 🤗 I don't plan on being as active as I was previously, so there are posts that I may occasionally miss along the way haha, but I don't mind being tagged. :3 I also welcome direct messages at any time if people want to discuss something with me that isn't necessarily meant to be made public. 👐

I'm happy to have met you too! We haven't known each for long, but I can see you're a very gentle and considerate person who's very appreciated in this community. 😌 Thank you for the lovely encouragements, and you're welcome! 😁

[papaziggy-devblog]

Hey Mama! I just wanna say that you're an amazing artist! I don't know you as a friend, but I can see through your posts that you're a good person, an incredible one, you inspire others to give the best of themselves and to make an effort for the things they want, at least that applies to myself. I love how you always look for the better for your friends, always being there to help and support other content creators and friends. You're a great friend, an awesome person, and one of the best artists I've ever met. Sending lots of love to you ❤️

*INCIHERENT SCREAMING*

[mintsuwu]

You're literally one of my favorite artists EVER! I wish I could draw/write like youuu >w<

Seriously, you inspire me!!

Also you're SO GOOD AT DRAWING BUBBA!!! AS A BUBBA FAN, THIS IS PEAK BUBBAPHANT-

Also, YOU DRAW SHEEP SO WELL TEACH ME UR WAYS-

Anyways, yeah, your art is amazing and I love seeing it!! Keep it up ^w^👌

THANK YOUUU It's such an honor to hear that other people and feel inspired by my content!! 😭💖🙏🏻 It's something I always wanted to achieve, so knowing that makes me really happy!

But hear me out I KNOW YOU TOO HAVE POTENTIAL, Y'ALL DO, DON'T GIVE UO IF YOU'RE WILLING TO TRY!! 🫵🏻✨

Also thank you!! I'm not gonna lie, I kinda struggle when I draw him, specially his trunk... But at the same I think he deserves justice because he's really overlooked by the fandom me thinks. I didn't like him much at first but as I drew him he grew into me xD

As for the sheepies I am always glad to provide my knowledge‼️

All that being said, I hope you have a wonderful day! <3

[enden-agolor]

Hey enden! I just wanted to reach out as I know these are hard times for you. I’ve been wanting to say something and give you some support, but I have never known what to say, so I’m just gonna wing it.

First off, I would like to preface by saying you are an incredibly humble artist and writer. You carry great talent, yet you seem to almost expect people to not notice that. Never forget your talent, and that even something you spill out at 2am will most definitely be praised. You inspire me to create, I have been in a art and writing slump for so long. I got caught up in life and lost the love for it. You’ve lit that spark in me once more and want to get me creating, and most definitely writing, in honor of you!! That’s amazing man. You have some real special talent, and the mcsm fandom alongside others are seriously so so lucky to have you.

Second, I send nothing but love and support to you and your boyfriend. I know everything will work out just as you guys need it to. If she doesn’t get her karma legally, she most definitely will another way. I know you guys are so strong and will pull through with flying colors!! Death of a loved one is never ever easy, and the worst always happens to the best people. Know that none of what happened is your fault, don’t let guilt consume you, and both of you take care of and love yourselves. You guys seriously deserve it.

Lastly, on a less dreary note, I would like to ask if you had any fan fiction prompts for Jesskas? I want to write so bad, but I cannot come up with a proper idea that is really interesting and solid, yanno? I want to write something long, that I can really pour my heart out into. So if you had any tips or story prompts, it would seriously be appreciated, and you of course would get a huge shoutout, as you would with or without helping me since you are such a huge inspiration to me.

Best of wishes Enden!!

This may be a long response, so here-

First off, I suppose you are right when you say I don't really expect people to enjoy the content I create. It's not an easy concept for me to grasp. I have a lot of trouble seeing how people can like my stuff so much, or god even say I'm their favorite mcsm artist when there's so many others out there that carry so much more skill with colors and backgrounds and such. I know I'm not supposed to compare myself to others, but it is an incredibly hard habit to end. It's why I'm so shocked when I see actual fanart of my aus, or god even my writing. I cannot go back and read me own works for the life of me because I just cringe so bad at it, so when people say it's good I really just have to trust them and believe it.

All I could ever dream to do is inspire people to create and grow with their own imagination, so hearing that my stuff has done that sort of thing for you (and others who have told me the same) it brings me so much joy, but it truly is entirely hard to believe that it's me and not someone else being the one to do that. I don't know, but I am very honored to hear this from you. It only inspires me to push myself further and I don't know. Maybe some day I can push my imposter syndrome aside and really get a firm grasp on my full potential and be proud of it.

And thank you for the love and support towards our situation... As the days go by I fear more and more that that woman will get to keep her dog and nothing will come out of this other than we just have to move past it. So I hope you're right when you say she'll get her karma some other way. I've never in my life wished something bad to happen to someone. Not like this... So if karma does catch her, let it be as devastating to her as it was to us.

Now, real life shenanigans aside, we can get to the jesskas stuff 😏

For fanfic prompts, I always suggest exploring canon before getting into anything truly ambitious. If there's a certain scene in the game you'd like to further explore and add on to- do it! Like I've always wanted to write a fic that gets into a deep emotional moment between Jesse and Lukas after Jesse rescues Lukas and Petra from the Nether during episode 8 and they all enter the player dorms for the night. Just those off screen moments where you can take the characters and add more to the story is easy and fun in itself. I always like to look deep into the emotional aspect of it all, and really dive into how the characters might be feeling after a situation and how that gentle moment alone together could bring them closer. What I already mentioned being a good example because it's directly after PAMA, Jesse having to watch Lukas and Petra(or Ivor) die, and so on. There's a LOT of feelings to explore there. If that's something you'd want to try and tackle, go for it!! But if there's another scene from the game that really sticks out to you that you feel could be so much more, go for that too. It's good to start small and practice how you want to write the characters. Only reason I started a huge fic like Recovery straight away was because I'd been rping jesskas for like a year and a half already and was confident I knew how to write the characters and I wanted to do more for the little community by writing a nice big fic.

And again, it's Minecraft. There's a whole world to explore and put these two right in the middle of it. Think up certain scenarios you like and add on to it! Like if there's a certain scene you really want to do, build to it. Give the characters a goal and put obstacles in the way so you can really flesh them out on the way to that goal. What made them want to go there? How do they get there? What do they do when they get there? How do they communicate with others that might also be there? And how differently do they treat eachother compared to how they treat the others? Those are all things you really want to know ahead of time. Also pay attention to the scenery. Really look into the visuals your mind creates and do your best to get into the details about it all. There's a lot to get into with writing, and the best part about it is you're in complete control, so go crazy with your imagination, especially since it's Minecraft. It could be entirely self indulgent, or even something out of your comfort zone. No matter what it is, it's still growth and it's still progress to being a better writer. Just make sure you're having fun.

Also, thanks for taking the time to send this ask. I appreciate you 🩷

OH MY GOSH YOU ARE SO AMAZING!!! I LOVE HOW BRAVE YOU ARE ABOUT YOUR SELF-SHIPS AND YOUR F/Os LIKE I COULD NEVER!!

the first self ship art i saw by you was a spongebob x oc one and I'm gonna be honest, i was like "damn, that's cringe," but also "damn, they're really brave, i could never,"

you're really admiring, and i've always sturggled sharing my self-ships because i always think they might be too cringe, or that it's weird, or that i don't see anyone making content of a certain show so it'll be SUPER awkward if i draw stuff from that show, or that my self-insert won't fit in the show, or that my self-insert is not interesting enough, and many other reasons i can't think of at the moment :')

you've inspired me so much and although i still struggle with sharing my own self-ships and creations, i hope to one day be as brave as you! :3

THANK YOU!! Honestly I still get embarrassed at times sharing my stuff, but drawing self ship/insert stuff makes me happy! Like just knowing my work inspires people like you, it makes me feel proud and encourages me! That something I pour my heart into is inspiring others the same way as others’ stuff inspires me.

And for me it took a few years to gain courage to share my self ship work since I remember looking up to self insert artists on the sidelines, wishing I was doing what they were too. But I do understand the awkward feeling. What I had to learn after years of fear is that it’s better to try than never trying at all. And I hope that one day you get the courage to share your stuff too!! Because you should if it makes you happy!

Hello there! I just wanted to drop you a message to express my gratitude. When I first ventured onto Tumblr back in 2019, I was a bit lost and unsure of where to start. But stumbling upon your blog changed everything for me. Your content consistently brings genuine joy to my day, and I eagerly anticipate each new post you share. Despite life pulling me away from the platform, I'm overjoyed to be back and to see that you're still active.

I've always admired you as an artist, and you serve as a major inspiration for me to continue honing my own drawing skills. Your posts never fail to brighten my day, and for that, I am truly grateful. Please forgive the length of this message, but I couldn't let the opportunity pass without expressing my appreciation.

Wishing you nothing but the best, and hoping your day is as wonderful as you are!

- boopsie anon

Awwwwh thank you love that’s so sweet❣️❣️

I wish you the best as well, I hope you have an amazing day!!!

[nebelihood]

Hi ibcome here telling you that you're an inspiration and have a lovely art!! They're so fluid and expressive I got nostalgia watching them out, truly amazing!!

wish I could become a Patreon one day in the future (hope get a better pay on my job for now) If you don't mind asking would be be seeing more updates on your baffy comic and others or they would be become exclusively for Patreons??

Anyway hope you have a lovely day bye!!

THANK YOU SMMM!!!!<3<3<3<3 REALLY APPRECIATE IT QWQ<3<3<3 Nostalgia is such a beautiful compliment<3 And sure! I try to make almost every patreon content reach tumblr! Here's a little guide uwu

Acting au

Sorry for the delay with Acting au! I've been struggling finding a pace I don't feel confident programming posts yet on tumblr cause I don't always have the next part for patreons ready for friday! So I'm waiting to have some more parts to fall onto them

Unlisted comics

Those every time I post something new content on patreon I give the chance for someone to decided which comic they want to see! So that's what those repeating posts with a bunch of random drawings of looney tunes are

The Hey Arnold teen comics!

Not promises with this one! but I did advance a little on that comic, I'm a little unconfident with the dialogues ahjshd but I'm waiting till I don't care to start posting it here, probably will start in the next 2 weeks and if I advance more ajshdj qwq

[tumblebagel]

I'm not sure how to make this post, because I know that Valerie is very much active on this site and very well may see it.

So, uh, hi. If you're reading this, I want you to know that you're an amazing person. Genuinely a big inspiration in my life. I'm going to express a bit of disappointment and sadness in this post, but I want to make it explicitly clear: I am not disappointed with you. This isn't your fault, and I need to make sure you know that. In all fairness, I DO know you know that. I read the confession. I just want to make sure that you REALLY know. Progressing a story that's hurting you more than its inspiring you is not worth it. Nobody deserves that. Emotions are messy and complicated and I'll be over it eventually. C/K/C looks amazing, and I cannot wait to see what you do next.

With that in mind, we get to the heart of this post. An incredible comic, only 1 and 1/2 chapters long, called Goodbye to Halos.

I discovered the comic right after I discovered I was trans. Literally the first thing I did after my egg cracked was look up: "trans webcomics", and there it was. Safe to say I didn't know that I was getting into SO much more.

I was instantly hooked by the worldbuilding. Even before it started to branch out, the visual contrast between skyport and lionsbridge was so striking. And as a developing artist, I got to see firsthand things I didn't know were possible to do with color. It was about at the time that I got to the "Why can't love just be a matter of fact?" page that I understood I was truly reading something special.

While reading I discovered parts of myself that I didn't know were there, like the often repeated philosophy that refusing to care about people is, in the words of the comic, "just so boring". The complexities of gender expression. Body positivity and the concept of non-sexual nudity.

I binge read the entire comic up to until Fenic waking up under the dragonfly. From that point I was glued to the page every day, constantly checking for updates.

The future of the comic has changed a number of times since that point. Including art style changes, hiatuses, video entries, and reboots. Until yesterday, the last I had heard was that the world of GtH would continue in a reboot-esque way with Unsave the World, a story developed in the same engine as C/K/C, focusing on Clarissa and Selin.

As, anyone interested in my blog will note, I am very new to Tumblr. Only joined recently. Yesterday, I had the idea to seek out Goodbye to Halos content, and Valerie Halla, which is where I got the confirmation that lead to this post.

"[Goodbye to Halos] was a hiatus when it went on hiatus. it took me a long, long time to come to terms with saying that it’s probably not just a hiatus, though. i will always love that story and those characters, and their spirits will live on in what’s to come, just like portside stories before it."

I... slept on it. I was distressed at the time. Honestly, I think writing this right now is still me working through it. Like I said before, emotions are messy.

But. That's it. Part of me is fixated on the word "probably", but the rest of me understands that thinking like that is only going to hurt my views on it over time. Not worth it to poison the past.

I've spent the time between that and now thinking, as much as it seems I've only done sulking that whole time. And from my thinking, I've come to a decision. I've figured out how to come to my own "don't be sad because it ended, be happy because it happened":

I'm going to make

So Much

FUCKING FANART

You're not gonna believe it. If I feel inspired by this story, and my brain's not satisfied with how the characters/worldbuilding/themes have been explored, I'm gonna do what everybody's done before me since renaissance painters after reading the Bible.

I'm going to make a frankly ridiculous amount of unofficial fan content, and when my brain finally burns out, I'll be over it and I can finally move on.

Look out Tumblr, I'm about to start chopping onions

[mr-laveau]

Ahhhhh!!! Hello!! I just recently got into redacted stuff and it’s been so amazing to see other poc interact inside the fandom, especially with your designs of the characters! I’ve been feeling a bit isolated and afraid to really jump into fandom posting or art about it because of the kinda…lack of poc rep or communication within the community and it’s great to see you be like…active and open wiht your opinions and thoughts when it comes to the fandom space and content!! I just wanted to say thanks for doing what you do and having fun!! your stuff inspired me to try my own lineup for the characters sooo wooooo!!

Hello there!!! I got to this late cuz I was taking care of work but I get to drop in on this now!

First of: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Second of all: That's great to hear! I'm always excited to see any new iterations of characters and designs and I'm glad you're starting to feel more comfortable being here!

I do share a lot of your sentiment tho, when I just started dipping my feet into the redacted pool, it was on Redactedtok and let's say that it wasn't really a space known for its incredible diversity-but, after I did some digging, I came across an artist who drew a lovely lil Milo and Sam which got me into it. You guessed it, they were black. The fact that I had an excuse to envision these characters however I wanted because of their ambiguity meant the world to me because now I could have POC characters and ain't no one was gonna tell me shit cuz what? I'm designing them wrong? How? They canonically don't have faces.

All that's to say that I value seeing POC happy and comfortable in a space where they can just be instead of feeling alone all the time as we deserve when we wanna enjoy media! We deserve to feel comfy, safe and happy and I'm excited to see more and more POC artists and writers join the fray!

P.S. I'm excited to see whatcha got!

[wololo-01]

Wolo, thank you so much for the little honorable mention in your recent post it's such a huge honor to be seen as someone who inspires others and to hear that the way I write villains is positively amazing! I LOVE villains, both the cartoony not so harmful kind but also the dark fucked up bastard flavor kind as well! As a kid I always thought heroes were cool but I grew to love and appreciate the dark evil villains I read about from books I own and fanfics I discovered on AO3!

I've also made so many wonderful characters in THSC Fandom it makes me smile knowing so many people and friends love them and their stories or want to know more! I truly love your art style and find it so squishy and shaped! You're a good person, a wonderful artist and a sweet soul just like Minnie and the others I got to know through here! Don't ever sell yourself short Wolo!

Stay awesome my friend!💕

[bioshoook]

okay your ask inspired me so more AH asks for you: 1, 5, 8, 25, 34, 48, 51!! <3

Thank you for the questions Emrys :3

1) How did you get into AH?

Already answered, but I got into them by seeing a video somebody made on youtube with a bunch of other fandoms that were popular on Tumblr in 2014.

5) Favorite team?

Whatever the hell team name Trevor and Alfredo have now (tho Team Nice Dynamite is always right behind them in my heart)

8) Favorite AU?

Hmm favorite AU would have to be the Fake AH Crew AU just because of all the memories I have of messing around in that AU and all the great content that people have created using that AU. There's just so much to do when the characters you're playing with are literal criminals.

25) Has a video or specific moment ever made you emotional?

Not sure if this is for like sad emotional or happy emotional or whatever, but the first video I can remember off the top of my head that made me emotional in the sad way was when Meg had to host The Know after Monty passed away.

34) Have you seen the musical?

Yep I have! Watched the whole thing when it was mixed with the GTA video.

48) If you have one, who’s your favorite fic author or fan artist?

OOoohhh boy do I *cracks knuckles*

Since I know I can't narrow this down to like one author and artist I'm just gonna do a handful of the large amount of people that have created some of my favorite works and inspired me/influenced me with how I write.

So author wise I have to first give it up for @confusedeevee who without her I would most likely not be writing AH fanfic like I am today, plus she's an excellent beta, amazing writing partner and always helps me brainstorm when I need it and will listen to me rant and rave about all my au ideas even tho it's probably 3 am for her :') and her fics are out of this world, please go read them.

Next is @futureboy LIGHT OF MY FUCKING LIFE who fed (and continues to feed tbh) my alfreyco cravings and has some of the best written dialogue out there and a head full of incredible ideas when it comes to writing! They just have some of the best writing out there and they're honestly killing it with the ST fics right now.

And since we're talking about Alfreyco (because how could we not am i right??) @jusst-you-wait is honestly really to blame for me still writing AH fic to this day, because this lovely alfreyco obsession of mine started when I read her Fake AH fic about Trevor and Alfredo investigating some abandoned building for Geoff and that's all she wrote. Also one of the best hype mans out there and such a great writer!

And I can't forget @shadeofazmeinya and @sorcererinthestars who also have some of the best fics out there in my opinion. And tbh I included both of them in one thing because one is not far from the other when it comes to fics and tumblr and there places in my HEART! Love these two so much and both have them have produced such fantastic work in this fandom and appreciate that every single DAY.

Ok now with artists unfortunately there aren't as many as there used to be in the ye olden days of the fandom, but that doesn't mean we don't have some excellent artists still!

Firstly is @keeningthoughts who without them I would not have the lovely alfreyco outlast fanart that I cry over almost daily and would not have known the joys of being in a server dedicated to a podcast co-lead by two very silly boys. Clay, your everchanging art style and the art you've drawn, no matter how silly, have always made me so happy when i see them on here or twitter :3

And then @ursifors who has created some of the most awesome art in this fandom. Just the way you draw the AH members (and Jeremy lbr) is so incredible and fun to look at. Your shading and the way you draw expressions are always the best. Like the way you nail people's faces is just 👌👌👌👌

51) Any videos, series, podcasts, etc. you’d recommend to new fans?

Would definitely recommend Red Web (how can I not?) if you're into spooky things and conspiracy theories, but for general AH stuff I would recommend Off Topic because that is always a good, tho sometimes chaotic, way to get a feel for the vibes at AH. As for videos, any Between the Games and Shenanigans videos are always great to watch. Series wise, there are always MC and GTA videos, which are CLASSICS even if they're older and Play Pals which is 👌. Always recommend those. Some more recent ones would be GMOD and 7 days to die. Also the Rage Quit anniversary video they came out like two weeks ago. That was an excellent video.

Ask and ye shall fucking RECEIVE, here's a list of things I plan on drawing at some point

1. A plantperson x PC piece inspired by Klimt's The Kiss and also some lovely plantpeople art that's been going around recently

2. Harper hypnotising someone (PC lmao who am I kidding) into giving them head

3. Night Monster, because I am a monsterfucker first and person second

4. A variety of horny drawings lmao

5. Briar because I'm fucking obsessed with them but No One Else Seems To Be So I'll Fill The Void Myself

5. Wren because they've been requested and also I Love Them

6. Syd for the same reasons as Wren

7. I haven't decided on if I want to write a full-on fic or draw a short comic of it yet but it's Bailey getting fucked up physically and the PC saving him which fucks up Bailey psychologically

8. And many more, please send help (or tell me in which order to do these, ADHD makes me want to do them all at once lmao)

Puts these in my mouth thank you for these ingredence to rotate in my mind

1. FUCK YEAH GUSTAV KLIMT THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS AND I CANNOT WAIT AND ALSO PLANT PEOPLE CHEFS KISS

2. As Harper do. I support.

3. Good fantastic I love that omfg cuz I am also a monster fucker and I crave more content for this creecher

4. As one does 💚💚💚

5. YOOOO I was just talking about briar the other day I said that one day I wanna draw masc briar in the red dress with plunging neckline cuz god that sounds amazing can't wait to see what you doooo

5.2. more wren is a fantastic idea as per always I love how you draw them too aaaaa

6. SYYYDNEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY-- Coughs sorry something came over me

(I'm in love with them I'm biased but I wanna see your draw of Sydney asap hdjdhd)

7. Absolutely the best idea we love a good Angst Driven piece of media in This House

(this house being my house)

(you're in my house rn--)

But I love the idea of like oh Bailey sees himself so fuckin untouchable and strong and can do no wrong but Something Unexpected Happens and suddenly he has to get help god can you imagine

Love that shit

8. Gives you a leaf in this trying time

You know I'm gonna be biased and say Sydney is on top of my list--

I really would love to see the Klimt piece soon too! Or the Bailey narrative depends on how much time and energy putting into these

I'm also super indecisive but those stand out to me the most ATM hdjdhd

I find a way to figure out what I wanna do is do eeny meeny miny mo and if I am disappointed in the result I chose the other one dhdhd but that's easier said than done and all of these sound so sick and I would love to see any of these aaaa so excited!!!!
