QSMPblr positivity >:D

hepppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

Your writing is so good. I know i've told you this about 5 times now, but I don't cry at fics often, but you made me do that. I hold your kiss week series and Ramon's eyes changing fics so closely, they all wonderful.

Your angst writing is amazing too. Thought they don't make me cry that doesn't mean they don't make me feel. You are very good at writing the sadder scenes and quiet moments. The little things that don't always get seen. You write our little family so beautifully (and you include all four of them *cough*) Thank you for all of your stories. I always look forward to your writing <33

~lills

Lillsssssss

You're always so kind to me (which I know I say a lot) but thank you <3

Your compliments on my angst writing make me so happy, as is knowing that there are people who see and enjoy them enough to properly ingest the fic and see the details.

I will always include all four members of our little family because why would I not? They are a jigsaw puzzle that cannot be complete without all the pieces. Without them all, it feels incomplete.

But now, time to turn the table onto you! :D

Talking to you, both here and on discord has been wonderful, and I hope to continue doing so in the future for I don't think that our shared spaces in qsmpblr would be the same without you.

I look forward to whatever you post, whether that's art or you're sharing amazing animatics that deserve more love, you share such love and care around.

I cannot wait to see what the future brings you, for I know it to be bright and full of love <33

…….We are so back🗣️‼️

Twisted from the Mouse himself. By all means an art prodigy, Lille longs for the creatively pure years of his childhood. He’s been burned by corporate interest too many times rendering him distrustful and tired. Perhaps he might reignite his passion in NRC…

He contracted pretty Princess syndrome N cannot be cured-

This Slovenian prince is ready to reassure the pretty princess that he doesn't even need to be cured by serenading Jerč😋

Hi Ed!

I really really love your drawings, specially the ones with holmes and your penciled ones. I hope it’s not to bold/rude of me to say but I’d love to draw like you, do you have any tips on where to start? I have some basics from forever ago but I very rusty on my abilities. Should I draw using references? A particular tutorial on YouTube? Something entirely different?

With love, from a fan of yours

Well first step you want to be a 11 year old that gets absolutely obsessed with Warrior Cats-

Ok jokes aside (and thank you very much first!!) I'll see what actual advice I can give you! My approach to art is not really actively focused on improving (as I do not want to do this as my job and so just take the motivation to practice something specific as it comes.) but I'll try and recall what has helped me over the years.

Using references is definitely a very useful thing, I'm currently trying to use them more when it comes to drawing fabric but they're useful for all sorts of things. what I did and do personally as well is just. Watching people. Trying to figure out how the movement of a body works, the way arms can bend or legs are stretched. This works both with your own body (sometimes I just stand in front of a mirror trying to see how my arm bends over my head to get a feeling for it's movement.) and just observing people in day to day life! I find this technique easier than "static" photo references cause I get a better feeling of the body but they can both be useful.

I never really watched YouTube tutorials however what I did watch is hours and hours and hours of speedpaints - i think they're really fun if you are looking for different tricks and techniques to try, the way this artist does linework vs how this one colours- i have a few up myself.

Third, if you're anything like me and thrive on compliments; get yourself a buddy who's as hyped about your own art as you are. I feel like this helps with both inspiration and motivation, most of the time when I had art, be it when i was still drawing cats or Star Wars OCs to now drawing Sherlock Holmes - I also had a friend who was currently into the same things I was - or even better, was actively creating characters and stories with me which gave me lots of ideas to draw.

Oh also a little side note if you ever find yourself frustrated with your art or struggle to find inspiration, it often helps me to switch things up a bit, do something different. Get out actual paint. Try (and fail, in my case) to carve something. Paint a wall. Learn origami. Do something with model clay. Convince yourself that you can sew anything if you just tried hard enough.

I hope at least a few of those things are useful - explaining how I got here art wise is a bit difficult cause I mainly just picked up a pen and then just never stopped. But art starts somewhere for us all and I hope you can find joy in creating!!

I am with an sonic au idea that's slightly based on pmd stuck on my head

Something something, what if little sonic and little silver used to be the best little buddies in the iblis apocalyptic future, but sonic ended up getting his little gremlin hands on one of the chaos emeralds and accidently chaos blasting himself to the past? And he just started to live in the present from then on

Both Sonic and Silver still vaguely remember having a buddy when they were younger, but that was too many years ago for them to recognize eachother right away (Sonic was so young back then that he even forgot he was from the future, and as far as he remembers he just popped into existence one day, no questions asked)

And yes silver is still trying to kill sonic i love when silver kills

"Infected will not be able to answer asks for.. an uncertain amount of time. Sorry guys! He's extremely fucking sick right now so yup! You're stuck with me!"

If he can bring back Arrancars, I genuinely need to know the answer from Mayuri himself

Why he didn't resurrect Starrk too?

[cupcraft]

Typical. Also something something fake plant dsmpblr incident (I'm connecting things....im sorry)

[hepbaestus]

Hep, I wrote you a little thing on the positivity day (it was under anon but I did) but I wanted to write a little something else.

It was small but your mention of me in your past year thoughts post made me tear up. I feel like I haven't been here for long at all, and I don't post my own stuff very often, but somehow I did something where I stuck out enough for you to remember me.

Also thank you for the nickname. I've never been one for nicknames (my parents purposefully gave me a name that couldn't be nicknamed) so the fact that my online name has one feels really cool and special. I was never a fan of 'lilly' but I love 'Lill/Lills' so much. I don't really know how to describe it, it just feels gentler? im bad with words, but I love it.

Wishing you all the best and looking forward to whatever you wrote today. <333

-Lills

Lills <3

You may not have been here long, may not have posted your own stuff much but despite all that, seeing you reblog things and talking with you on the PoaR discord server has been enough for me to hold you in my heart like a close friend.

Everyone deserves to feel cool and special so I'm glad that by me calling you 'Lills' does that. I understand what you mean by it sounding gentler, for me I think of saying it in fondness, like a 'hello again dear friend it's good to see you ' way.

I wish you all the best too, Lills. I'm glad to have met someone like you in this fandom.

Girl, aint no way! How are we so similar? I'm also trying to learn korean (recently gotten into kdrama a lot), I'm a book girly too (love me some fantasy romance) and love doing art. Sorry to break it to you, according to your theory you may be my clone...It's actually my bday on Sunday I mean who can blame us for the same bias 🤷‍♀️ Also thx for checking out my blog. I'd love to be moots (but no pressure) 💜

My whole life has been a lie… I’m just a clone of someone else 😭😖😭

No but that’s actually wild and I love it!

Goodluck with your Korean, sometimes I want to throw myself at a wall because it can get so hard, but I think because I took Japanese in school, that’s kinda helping? Maybe it’s actually making it worse idk, I pronounce stuff wrong all the time lmao because it’s so different, sounds of different letters and things.

Taehyung and Hobi both have me in a choke hold. Namjoon is trying to squeeze his way into being my 3rd bias too 🐨

I’ve recently gotten into painting again after giving up a few years back. I’m not great at it but it’s fun! I can also just paint random things now like rocks and different clay things that I’ve made 😃 (the moon/ocean painting at the bottom was somthing I did)

I’d love to be mutals too!

Happy early birthday btw! Hope your day goes well 🫶 💜

I hope you don't mind me asking, but my friend and I were saying that Jan and Nace's recent stage outfits gave us 1980s/1990s AU vibes where Jan is a racer and Nace is the mechanic who fixes his car, and since you do such brilliant AU ideas, I wondered about suggesting it to you for a moodboard. Is that a request you'd be willing to take?

anon I love this idea sm!! Jan conveniently having an excuse at hand every week to bring his car into the repair shop so he can talk to the cute mechanic 👀💞
