A bit late, I adore your animatic in the most recent EPIC livestream, especially the choice of a painted background mixed with animation, was this your doing or did Jorge request it?

(Sorry if this was already mentioned somewhere asffsdsdf)

My doing! He pretty much lets me do whatever I want with visuals usually hahah. I'd warn him in advance what it might look like + a storyboard, and he was chill with it

After a month (well, actually, like three weeks of that was... not touching this) I'm finally done with the Leyendecker piece!!

I've only been drawing for a few months so any advice/feedback is welcome ^^

Edit: forgot to mention these are the wedding outfits from my narilamb fic, The Risen Lamb and the Fallen God!

Lady Glinda Upland of the Arduennas, formerly known as Glinda the Good Witch, spent the beginning of her career as a mouthpiece for the now-controversial Wizard of Oz, then transitioned to civil service after his abrupt departure in the wake of the Wicked Witch of the West’s death. During her long and illustorious career, she has championed Animal rights, campaigned for retributions for those affected by the Quadling Uprisings, and collaborated with the Vinkan people to improve infrastructure in their homeland. Her marriage to Lord Chuffrey produced no children. Famously private, the early years of Lady Glinda’s life and career are shrouded in rumor and speculation, innuendo and outuendo. She has notably refused to speak about her connection to the Wicked Witch of the West.

Until now. 

On the eve of her retirement, Lady Glinda sends an invitation to a young, struggling writer.

To hear the entire story.

To know the whole truth.

Canon Divergence AU (loosely) based on The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (AO3 link here). Galinda Upland/Elphaba Thropp. Work in progress (currently around 20k words and 5 chapters).

why a B? what was the critique?

this sounds kind of cope i stg its not i would go into it more if it was like helpful or insightful TRUST. but genuinely the feedback was kinda.. incoherent and contradictory...?!? and i got penalised a lot for stuff that i was pretty clearly told was fine during crit whilst working on it. feels a bit vindictive to me and if it was graded by a particular lecturer which im 99% sure it was i have a feeling i know why

Cannot stand the new Mobile Discord UI, actually. Like. Why? Just why? I liked that it reflected Desktop, it was simple to understand and use and all the information I needed (locations of unread messages) were all in one spot instead of split up by buttons on a hot bar.

Also that DMs tab is fucking trash, dude, that triggers every part of my ADHD so bad, why does it look like a screen of emails what is WRONG with you people?

And why is the settings button so stupidly difficult to find? Like it should not be that small and take that many steps to get to. What the fuck?

I've already used a process to rollback to an older version of the app but like why can't there just be a toggle? Why can't we let apps be unique and have unique interfaces instead of trying to make them all work the fucking same? I use Discord because it ISN'T Amino or Instagram or Google Hangouts or Skype or Steam or anything like them! That's the point! That's the fucking point!

Stop fucking homogeonizing everything into Messenger App #57! This fucking sucks!

OKAY, HERE’S THE FINAL DATA!

I started querying in January with the lefthand letter. in May I finally found success (!!!!!!) with the righthand query letter.

over those 5 months of querying, I picked up 65 rejections. the vast, VAST majority were copy/paste form rejections, but a few included personalized criticism, which actually helped me a great deal. I rewrote the first two chapters from scratch based off the advice in one of those rejections, and I think that proved vital in eventually finding an agent.

(one of the personalized rejections was also unnecessarily mean, so now I have this grudge against a random man I’ll never meet)

was I ready to start querying in January? probably not! I didn’t understand all the speculative fiction subgenres, so ended up bothering people that I never had a chance with, and because my letter + manuscript weren’t polished enough, I basically guaranteed rejection for myself early on. BUT I don’t think I’d have learned enough to know I wasn’t ready if I hadn’t just gone ahead and started. 

and in the end, I’m thrilled with the agency/agent I’ve found myself with. it took a lot of time and research and reworking of everything, but you gotta have the persistence of an annoying fly that refuses to be smacked to death!

Showing off the designs for Guardian Neos and Lady Glasswing, the premise for this idea can be found here: The Dueling Fates of the Guardian Neos & Lady Glasswing

There're multiple outlined versions of Chloe because when modelling her I found out about Freestyle Rendering and really enjoyed it.

I'm sort of mad that they only care about three Inquisition based decisions especially as we won't be using the Keep anymore. Like what was the point of DAO and DA2 if it doesn't even matter in any way in DAV? Like even just one choice each for those games. Something. ANYTHING. Even if it's just background flavour. It's only been 20 years since DAO like plenty of characters are only in their forties now and probably still active. What they did had to mean ~something~. The only blessing is I don't have to agonise over certain choices I made that I was worried about. Downside what was the point lol I am still looking forward to it but can't pretend I'm not a bit disappointed

It's a loss for sure

I can see why they didn't want anyone disclosing details on it, because from what was shared during q&a it seemed a lot more detailed and interactive

And as usual the community council is stuck in the middle, blamed for not doing enough to stop something, again, which is delusional

I feel for them I really do

✨🌸 Sunshine on your skin, flowers in my soul 🌸✨

🌊🫧Summary → In the midst of his reconciliation with Team Wish, Dusknoir begins coughing up flowers. This unfortunate brand of bad luck should be a cosmic joke. A spiteful punishment that the world has brought down on him out of malice, out of vengeance for his past deeds. A cruel, agonizing curse manifested with the single unjustified purpose of preventing him from realizing happiness, ever seeking redemption, ever righting his multitudes of wrongs and moving on with his life. But that's not true, and he knows it deep down. Knows it in the very core of his soul like the flood of petals building in this throat.

This is his fault because he is a coward, and that's all he has ever been. A backstabbing, lonely coward.

And now he is going to die because of it.

I’ve been really really depressed lately and I just feel like all the light has been sucked out of my life and there’s nothing to live for. But this community has made me feel better. Remembering my love for Total Drama has been helpful, and I have you guys (especially Peggy) to thank for that.

Dear college students:

I’m a TA. Your TAs are students too. I get it. College is a Lot. Sometimes you can’t come to class. Sometimes you can’t finish your work by the deadline. It happens.

We’re willing to work with you if you tell us.

I have 50 students in my “Intro to World Archaeology” class. I prepare the discussion sections, I grade the essays and exams. I have plenty to do. I am not going to track you down and ask why you didn't come to class last week or if you need an extension on your work or if you would like me to email my comments on your draft to you if you didn’t pick it up on the day I handed it back. I cannot read your mind. I do not know your life. You have to approach me.

If you didn’t get your feedback, let me know! If you can’t come to class, let me know! If you need an extension on a project, let me know! You don’t need to give private personal details, but you need to at least tell me ahead of time that you can’t make it! If you never email me or approach me after class or come to my office hours, I can’t know what you need! Your TAs are tired grad students, they will sympathize with you, it is our job to work with you and help you, but you have to be the one to ask for what you need.

And seriously, if you have any questions, go to your professor’s or TA’s office hours. That’s what they’re there for!!
