Ahhh ok see now this makes sense. So those biased against writers who don't read aren't only mad cause you are insulting the art in itself, they are also mad because they think that means you refuse to support other writers but expect massive support in return. Well personally, even when I was in the community, I was trying to support writers who had stories I liked. I was pushing myself cause their stories were interesting to me AND because i wanted to return the support. I did the support for support thing too in my first run and frankly that gave me a few readers too besides followers, but when I focused more on following stories I actually enjoyed on my second run, I got no new readers. Followers don't necessarily mean people will read your story unfortunately.

But that experiment aside, just liking and reblogging stuff but know nth about your work when they are asked about it shows me most people support back only to return the favor. And this is a big reason I got tired of trying and putting so much energy into this. Cause sure we can talk about our wips all day, but it saddens me when I take my time to remember parts of your story or your chars and you don't remember shit from mine so, at the end of the day, my being tired of trying to read more when I am personally not into reading just in order to belong and people to give a chance to my work doesn't look selfish at all to me.

To this day people still buy books of people they never met or talked to, so I aspire to be this type of author that got readers because they liked my story, not because they knew me in person or because they wished to return the favor for the times I supported them. I want to be judged based on what I write, not whether or not I support someone back enough for them to give me a chance.

You draw amazing art, make some of the most detailed cosplays, AND ur a physicist? Bro how many hats do you wear? Every single one of those is years of hard work

i owwn 10 billion hats

but shucks ty ;-; to be fair i worked on all three of those things simultaneously and the time just passed _(:3 」∠ )_ so its like sure it might take 10 years to get a physics phd, 10 years to draw the way you want to, and 10 years to learn how to craft stuff but those 10 years passed at the same time all mashed together

Shapey Puppington

Obsessed with his mother and always defers to her despite his seemingly strong and stubborn personality, unconsciously makes messes even though he purports to need things tidy, talks a lot and very loudly in a way where it's hard to engage with him (talking 'at' not 'with' you), reveals very little of his own personality and seems to more parrot things others say, doesn't ever want children because his wife would be "distracted" by them, hates alcohol but is almost always drinking milk, hates his father (or says he does), struggles with his faith but pretends to be devoutly religious, still throws tantrums which his wife cleans up as he's throwing them so it's like nothing happened, calls his wife 'mine' as in "me and mine" or "mine's the same way" to the point where it's unclear if that's her name or not, doesn't recognize her as looking exactly like Bloberta, had a bad relationship with Orel as a teenager but they're better now, protective over Block who he calls his little brother, always frowning and usually complaining, holds his wife's wrist or grabs at her dress when he isn't looking at her so she stays nearby, struggles with feelings of inadequacy and loneliness that he doesn't know how to remedy.

You know that feeling where you have ideas. So many ideas. Too many ideas. And they all would take way too much time that you don't have if you actually wanted to execute them. So you just sit there giving yourself a headache because you cant decide where to start? Love that feeling. And by love, I mean I want to take my brain out of my skull and wring it like a wet sponge.

I just need a piece of media that combines:

The humor and feeling of community we got from S1 of OFMD

The storytelling, world, and humanity behind Disco Elysium

Izzy Hands just for fun

You know?

2024 Art Purge (Part 2)

Fanart Edition! Once more, one again!

Immediately starting out with eyes! Not enough of them in the Original sketchdump, gotta make up for it here - you might recognize this little examination of Sans blindness as something that made its way into an actual set :3 A couple actually, if you wanted to include the skelebros' matching PJs from Requestober haha

More Sans eyes! He just has such pretty blues <3 I was testing out the difference between a light blue pen and my usual nonphoto blue pencil - pencil is the winner, as always, truly a colour of all time ♪

Dipping into fandom I normally wouldn't (except for that one other time lol), some HeavyMedic for @zarla-s​! I got a cute first, it was only fair to give a bit of cute back haha ♥ Also got its own full post, speed draw included! :D

Smol introduced me to the Katy Perry Sims 3 collection and it is...atrocious lol. She showed me a bunch of Sims 3 packs actually, but I had a specific bone to pick with this one in particular. Like - I am All for, 1000% For, in total and complete favour of candy and sweets and pastries as a theme, I think it's a delightful well to draw from but this was...not it lol. So I made my own! Loosely based on some of the designs that were just, slapped onto bras. Why?? Bras can be so cute! Or silly! Or both!! Why are they so ugly... You can see I took particular umbrage with the cupcake, mint, and ice cream tops, and you better believe I still have complaints in mind! It's been nearly a year and I'm still mad about these! Lol. I will never understand taking a design and like, Jigglypuff-from-above'ing it, just make it look how it looks in profile! No cherry nipples! Stop this! And why the wide shoulder bands, if any of these deserve thin straps, it's the cupcakes to reflect cherry stems off the top, plssss. For the mints one I was being kind of silly lol, but at least the underboob implies shape! Rather than being subsumed into boob-cylinders, and the wrapper is just, awkwardly out to the sides, not integrated into the flow of the design at all, smh. The ice cream one is the most egregious in my opinion because ice cream is Adorable, and they made it ugly. The cone does not go on top of the ice cream, how dare, get it out of a non-edible bowl right now and make it a waffle bowl this instant. It doesn't even look like ice cream, it looks like whipped cream! Make it recognizable! It could be so cute and this is what you give me??? I just have a lot of thoughts about candy fashion lol, and also it was fun to draw curves :)

Just barely continuing the train of thought lol - another little something I made for smol, much like the Punch Out Characters from last time :) Animated Two Face is a handsome lad, his droopy eye on the one side and wide on the other, cute <3

I started reading a Mob Psycho fic that unfortunately didn't quite vibe with me, which sucks because I love the conceit! "Oops I adopted this child" is one of my favourites but it just wasn't meant to be, ah well. Did get a couple long-haired Mob doodles in tho :)

The original sketch for Satine! It was fun to make a new outfit for them

ISAT ahhhh ;;♥ Few SIF eyes, one Loop eye, maybe they have a scar under their bright light? :0 Obscured by overlighting ahh

Had to doodle the ladies of the group a bit more as well, the cutes <3 Mira is adorable, sparkly heroine aww, love her ♥ And Odile is so pretty, I love her wrinkles and glasses :D Bit similar to how I draw Kabu's eyes now too actually! :0

The original sketch of this fanfic piece! I'm still rather a fan of how Loop's heels look from behind, and Sif's face, angle, hands - it's not clean or prettied, but it Evokes, y'know?

An unusual one-off from me as I still don't really know how to draw horses haha, the alicorn from Unicorn Tails! I still want the silly horse game! The deep lore...

While working on Pokeball papercrafts, I wanted to see if I could design a circular Pokemon stats screen to glue onto the back, as if they were "inside" that particular Pokeball, like circular trading cards! I never was able to settle on a design, but the last one isn't terrible... The text would have to be pretty small though. Maybe I'll try again another time, it Is an enticing thought, having a deck of Pokemon cards shaped like Pokeballs

Rick and Morty heckin' got my number on this one, Clone Beth coming around to hang out with the Smiths was exactly the thing to get me drawing these guys again smh doesn't help that she's hot

She participates in Self Love, what exactly am I supposed to do about it. Not draw them making out? Who do you take me for

Also ended up drawing a speculation of what Drizz might look like as an adult - if she's just a little baby there, will she grow to be a giant octopus lady?? That'd be pretty cool I think

Around the time of Requestober, @joh-nny-c​ invited me to an art trade but everything kinda got lost in the shuffle of the season ahhh, sorry! 😫 Please accept a couple doodles in apology, now that I'm less busy I'd be up to trying again haha :'D

Lich is quite cute so I had fun doodling a few silly little things haha

These were the two I was most strongly considering seeing through and then all the everything ahhh - I still quite like both tho :D Especially for not being the most confident drawing muzzles and the like haha, but big floppy ears? Yes ✨

Got way the heck into Poison for like a week straight - the original, the various language translations, 8bit cover, yes, all the every Poison. It's so sad! And I might be biased because spider (NSFW and SA trigger warning but: he does the spider defensive position in the MV!!!! AH!!!!) but I really think Angel's design is beautiful. Some of that could also be the whites and pinks haha, he's cute!

Thinking about these two rough-and-tumble girls lately <3 I still haven't gotten back into Mother 3 so I haven't met Kumatora but when I do!!

The stretch contest! Ditto looks so cute and silly haha, determined Eevee and good-spirited overseeing Ekans, they're friends! ♥

Smol with an Ekans :) She needs a snake!

And then just an Ekans lol, they always look so startled in their art, and always without a snake tongue?? They deserve a forked tongue

This guy, who took over my internal voice for a few days. Made everything ridiculous to read in my head, sheesh

He does crack me up tho so how can I complain really lol

I would like to make it clear that I am an adult therefore I will post, interact with, and reblog suggestive and not-suited-for-minors stuff!

I have so much stuff I want to be doing but I've been listening to my video game music playlist which is all fun and good until you remember that it's a devilish trap invented purely to make me play my favorite games again. I want to be writing and drawing and playing my new fun cool game interest I don't need to start ANOTHER playthrough of terraria calamity mod I don't I don't I don't

[moonstandardtime]

i read the hunger games books multiple times over as a kid, and i didnt like katniss' ending at first, bc my hyperlexic ass could read the words long before i could REALLY Comprehend the concepts, but as soon as i got a firm understanding of aromanticism and trauma and and etcetc... i like it a lot now

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

It's so strange to think back on my pre-mcyt era because I really had no idea what mcyt was. I thought it was all just speed running and pvping, generally just y'know. Boring sweaty gamer stuff. And as such I fully discounted it as something I wouldn't be interested in, as someone who has never cared about sports.

... Then one day I saw the phrase Minecraft Roleplay and some mentions of Characters, and bam! I've been here ever since
