I am absolutely IN LOVE with this stunning art of Troy Hassan and Eva Archer by the extremely talented @oh-so-youre-a-nerd /@ascindio !!!!!!

Thank you so, so much Elliott for bringing my lovelies to life. 🥹 This scene had been living in my head for a while now - since I wrote Close Call - and I'm over the moon with your rendition! It's absolute perfection. I just want to live in that moment... Thank you!! 🥰💛

PRETTY PLS TY!

eeeep- it's been too long since i've gushed over these fools😭 let's get into it

a peek inside their…

enid:

9. "junk" drawer

pre-merger*: sweets (hard candies, sour gummies, chocolate, etc.), misc. beauty product samples, pocket notebooks, pens, tape (bc there's always tape in a junk drawer)

sugar is definitely one of enid's vices, so it's very on brand of her to have a stash of sweet treats nearby at any given moment. park & davis represents several high profile clients. the samples are a nice perk (along with the high billables✨) enid prefers to jot down notes by hand before/during meetings. her pocket notebooks are filled with shorthand version of her more polished work. it's a habit she picked up during law school to help commit lessons to memory.

post-merger*: wind's tchotchkes- an assortment of random gifts given to enid by wind. includes but not limited to: a miniature tea pot, crystals, a music box, sword keychains from his trip to the renaissance fair

at first, enid throws these things away- unable to stand the random clutter that somehow found its way to her desk. it's only after wind catches her tossing away yet another set of trinkets (with an ear-piercing shriek) does she make a point to store them away for safekeeping.

*= down the line in the windverse, park & davis merges with mcgraw byrne after eli byrne nearly runs the firm into the ground.

enid @ this question:

joaquin:

4. car glovebox

while joaquin moved coasts, his car did not.

however-

he was able to bargain for unlimited access to mcgraw byrne's town car in his employee contract. joaquin quickly befriends his drivers, who in turn keep their glovebox stocked with the essentials: a spare tie, cologne, hand cream, comb, an eye mask, and neck pillow <- joaquin has a tough time adjusting to mcgraw byrne's work schedule so he spends his rides catching up on sleep. he's known to tip generously in exchange for another slow lap around the block.

16. cd collection

selena- ven conmigo | d'angelo- brown sugar | alanis morissette- jagged little pill

this by no means is joaquin's full collection- but these albums were heavy on his rotation

zahir:

23. bank account

zahir is considered to be well-off. he always has a bit saved up in case of emergency, doesn't have to worry about rent since he currently lives with his family, and is celebrating getting his holiday bonus from the firm 😎

Obsessed with how many fan sequels yall have inspired. The fans are rising up!! (demonBibble)

we will take BACK our fandom!!! we determine our own fates!

[kiivg]

WOw just found your blog and your art is incredible!!! Do you have A shop anywhere??

.Thank you so much!! 👹 I don’t have a shop anywhere, I used to have an Etsy where I sold crocheted items but not any longer. Honestly I wouldn’t really know what art of mine to sell, plus it’s only 2000x1000px so I think it’d be too small for a print but idk anything about that tbh. I’ve looked into making it larger but ew I cannot get around those thicker lines haha 🥲. (If anyone knows about prints and things I’d love to learn 💫).

.I do have PayPal.me if anyone wanted to support me financially ✌️👹✨.

[choicesfandomappreciation]

Classic Hollywood Glamour with Thomas Hunt

The absolutely incredible and generous @oh-so-youre-a-nerd / @ascindio surprised me with this insanely gorgeous portrait of my beloved Thomas Hunt for my birthday!

Look at how stunning and perfect it came out! I am just in utter awe of this and honestly a little speechless. It's so perfect! Thomas would whole-heartedly approve of this portrait!!!

Elliott, you are so insanely talented, and every time you post, I am in complete and total awe. You are so brilliant, and I admire you so much. This truly means the world to me! I can't dully express how touched and blessed I am by this. Thank you doesn't seem like enough, but please know I am blown away!

to my moots/lovely lurkers: if you've been following me for a bit then you may remember my first post i made for amal and her family in late june.

in a short span of time- amal has become a dear friend of mine and her campaign has been able to receive a significant amount of traction thanks to everyone who has continued to share her messages with the world. i'm writing you all today to share amal's latest message to me:

several friends of mine have heard the same sentiment shared by other ghazzans: the rafah crossing may reopen very soon

the targeted attacks within the gaza strip are ramping up- with several massacres being executed by the israeli army in one day. this is a deliberate tactic used to conceal the true extent of their war crimes. families like amal are scrambling to raise enough funds to be able to cross into egypt. with this latest revelation of the border reopening- the time to act has never been more crucial.

so far, amal's family has raised ~44% of their goal (€13,288/€30,000)

please share her campaign as much as possible + donate if you can so they may all get to safety

amal was my inspiration to launch the art campaign boost. because of her, several families have been able to gain more visibility on this platform. please continue to give them all your undivided attention/support.

amal's message:

Hello Can I tell you all the words in my heart? I sent you back because I really need you Here in Gaza, news is spreading that the Rafah crossing will return to work at the end of this month But I did not raise enough money to leave Gaza Please tell the whole world to help me so that the campaign reaches its goal before the end of the month so that I and my family can get out of this extreme danger. Please do everything you can for me💔💔

December Creator of the Month: Oh-So-Youre-a-Nerd

Each month, CFWC highlights one of our talented fanfic writers or artists, and this month’s creator of the month is @oh-so-youre-a-nerd . We're very excited because Ascindio is our very first artist to be highlighted! We hope you will enjoy learning more about them and their work below! The writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page.

Quick Links:

Tumblr Blog Instagram

How do you want to be known on Tumblr? 

Ascindio 

More below...

1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

I started playing in 2016, I can't remember if I read Endless Summer or Rules of Engagement first, but I ended up deleting the app after like 2 weeks cause I couldn't stop buying diamonds 😅🤦

I re-downloaded it about, ohh idk 2 years ago?

2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?

I joined the Fandom specifically on Tumblr and specifically for It Lives Within, which happened to come out right after I read the first two books 

3- How did you pick your blog name? 

I always try to seem cool and mysterious when I meet people irl, and then as soon as I open my mouth, I ruin it with some niche trivia or something, and they say,  “Oh, so you're a nerd.” 😂 Can't tell you how many times this exact phrase has been uttered to me. 

4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  

This is the first Choices related post I made 😂 I was just thinking about the concept of what if characters make terrible decisions cause they're controlled by a player who is out of diamonds lol I was going to do a whole series of them (next was going to be lotr “fly on eagles to mordor?” *30 diamonds* or “simply walk”) but got lazy lol

5- Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both? 

Only art. God, I  WISH  I wrote too. I've thought about trying cause I have so many ideas floating around in my head, but at the end of the day, I'd rather spend my free time drawing. 

6- How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?

For Choices, since early 2022

For other fandoms, since well, forever, but I only started posting around 2017/18

7- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?

Favorite Choices book is probably It Lives in the Woods. All of the characters were so interesting, I never got bored reading it, and it had an incredible twist that made sense but I still didn't see coming. 

Favorite to create for is probably Blades of Light and Shadow though because I am such a sucker for the fantasy aesthetic.

8- Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?.

This isn't the first Choices art I made, but it IS the first I actually shared

And honestly, I DO still like it because I still remember the way I felt absolutely POSSESSED while drawing it (I hadn't drawn anything for *months*). I would definitely change the background, though. Those trees look like shit, and they're not even the correct type for the kind of forest they're in. 

9- What is your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created? 

My favorite Choices art I've done is probably this piece. 

10- Do you have a fic/art that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?

I definitely didn't expect this one to do well at all as it was so hastily drawn

And I was sad this piece didn't get more love, it was such a dope scene and I was so excited about how the sword turned out

11- If you could only draw one style or type of art for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? 

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the question right, but if I had to pick like a specific type of art, it would be digital, and I would want to do fan art. I have a hard time painting anything that I don't already have a deep connection with (so original art with no story behind it is usually a chore for me), and digital art is just so incredibly convenient and not messy and so so versatile. 

12 - Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?

Because I use fiction as a way to safely process trauma/ grief/ other big emotions, each MC I make has a small part of me, whichever part I feel the need to explore at the time.

There's an amazing quote by Patrick Rothfuss that I feel explains it perfectly. 

It's from Wise Man's Fear

“These folk knew all about death. They killed their own livestock. They died from fevers, falls, or broken bones gone sour. Death was like an unpleasant neighbor. You didn’t talk about him for fear he might hear you and decide to pay a visit.

Except for stories, of course. Tales of poisoned kings and duels and old wars were fine. They dressed death in foreign clothes and sent him far from your door. A chimney fire or the croup cough were terrifying. But Gibea’s trial or the siege of Enfast, those were different. They were like prayers, like charms muttered late at night when you were walking alone in the dark. Stories were like ha’penny amulets you bought from a peddler, just in case.”

13 - What element of writing/art do you struggle with most?

I have a very difficult time making the poses seem natural and flowing. My all time favorite art is Baroque/Renaissance style and how fluid the poses are, how soft the skin looks, how delicately it's all done. Obviously, I will always have my own style, but those are things that I so want to incorporate but never seem to get quite right, and it drives me crazy 😂

14 - Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

Not really. I mean, I have a ton of unfinished work, but as soon as the window of inspiration passes, I just can't get myself to care enough about it to finish it (insert Jake the Dog, “now it's gone, and I don't care about it anymore!” )

15 - If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first? 

I would, and have.  I typically show them whatever most rendered recent picture from my Instagram because I don't post any nsfw there and usually try to post only my prettier work for this specific reason haha. (As opposed to here, I post everything here, ain't NO ONE from real life invited to see my tumblr 😂)

16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?

Writers: Brandon Sanderson, for sure. He's the reason I got back into art back in 2017 ish. His stories are just so emotional they push me to create. Same with @saibug1022, there is always at least one scene from every story he shares that I desperately want to draw to try to capture the emotions. 

Artists: God, sooo many, here are just like my top 3 favorites and their instagrams.

Audra Auclair

Obsessed with her unique style, and specifically the way she draws eyelids and noses

f3lc4t

The way they draw those dripping, glowing wisps. I stare at their pieces for hours (no lie) trying to dissect them stroke by stroke to figure out how they do it.

Miho Hirano

Their art has a delicate whimsy-ness I would SELL MY SOUL to achieve 

17- Which one of your creations would you like to see a fiction written about? 

JC, this is the shit I DREAM of.

Definitely this one. 

So this is love.

This little comic means a lot to me. 

18- Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art? 

Very rarely, but I do, every so often. This is my favorite original piece.

20-  What other hobbies do you have?

Gaming, singing, walking through the Cemetary with my wee daughter, reading, that's about it 🤷

21 - What’s your favorite emoji? 

🙇

22: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).

I really wanted to say that I don't believe in “good” art and “bad” art (just ethical vs non-ethical). That being said, I know what it's like to hate your art, like soooo intimately. If you ever are feeling shit about your art, you can ABSOLUTELY message me (I don't care if we're mutuals or not, I don't care if we've never interacted before) and just say, “I am feeling shit about my art” and I will go through your art and tell you every specific thing I love about it and why it's wonderful. I am not joking; I am so so serious rn. 💗💗💗💗 

[artfulchoiceswithdani]

I've had the privilege of working with over 60 different artists during my time in the fandom. Some are on Tumblr. Some are on Instagram. Some are on both! Some are no longer on either. I will link their account(s) when possible as well as link my art with each so you can see some examples!
