Also here is an interview snippet which I thought was interesting. I've never thought much about what his creative process might have been like. Also, I didn't realise that the panels he drew on were so much larger than what ended up in print. I mean, it makes sense, but I guess I always just assumed he drew up the squares exactly the way they looked in the end.

Levi with a female reader :)

Reader is feeling depressed and Levi tries to cheer her up in his own Levi way. You may choose what that is.

sorry for the delay in this ! trying to schedule out my posts while i’m on vacay 😋 i had to think hard about how i wanted to write this so i hope it does not disappoint 🙏💕 i would find a place to end it and think no… this won’t do… anyways, thank you for requesting!!

as the seasons come and go

wc: 0.9k

wrapped up in your comforter, you sigh as you look out your window, rain falling heavily against your window with a vengeance. gloomy winter days like this always got you down, your seasonal depression grabbing you and shaking you vigorously to remind you the sun wouldn’t be present as often as you needed. you sigh, continuing to stare out the window glumly as you squeeze your comforter tighter around yourself.

suddenly, a teacup is placed onto your nightstand with a soft thunk, and you shift your gaze to the male blocking your view before focusing on the steaming ivory cup.

“staying in bed all day won’t help you feel better.” levi says, his tone soft to offset the harsh reality.

the bed dips underneath his weight, and he rests a hand on your hip gently, rubbing his thumb against the thick fabric of your comforter.

“i just feel so down.” you say, the tightness in your throat trying to catch your words. of course, at the admission of your feelings, you feel tears forming at the corners of your eyes before you quickly unravel from your coziness to wipe them away.

“sit up.” he orders, though his voice is so gentle not even a mouse would be frightened.

you do as he says, shifting yourself so you have one leg bent while the other sprawls beneath your blanket. resting your arm on your knee and futilely attempting to bat your tears away with your other hand, you let out a shaky breath to try to contain the cries you want to let out.

lacking the words to comfort you, levi opts to reach out to grasp your occipital, gently pulling your head to rest on his chest, “you don’t have to hold back around me.”

with a short sob, what feels like a tsunami’s worth of tears floods from your eyes and you wrap your arms around his waist, squeezing him impossibly closer to you. he smells of woody bergamot and musk, and you take a labored inhale before returning to ugly crying all over his light gray shirt.

“i’m so sorry,” you cry, and his brows contort in confusion before you continue, “i’m going to ruin your shirt with my snot.”

he scoffs, “as if i give a shit about my shirt right now.”

you let out what sounds like a mix of a sob and a laugh before you return to both crying and snotting uncontrollably into his chest. he rubs your back soothingly as you catch your breath a few minutes later, your body heaving with exhaustion. truthfully, levi has never been good with dealing with emotions, but for you he gives it his best effort. he’s seen you depressed before, especially when the sun doesn’t shine for longer than ten hours, and though lack of cleanliness bothers him immensely, he doesn’t mind when it’s you.

even when your dirty clothes pile up in the corner of your shared closet with him, he picks them up without a word of malice. even when you leave your dirty dishes by your bedside, he cares so deeply that he repeats the process.

if it meant he got to be with you forever he would gladly clean up after you when you could barely get out of bed- a small price to pay for an eternity with you.

“do you want to talk about it?”

god, you thought, “i’m so embarrassing.”

“when you say stupid shit like that, yeah.”

“i just feel like such a loser, levi. i can’t even shower without feeling exhausted and drained after, then i just rot in bed again.”

he hits a wall here, how does he tell you you’re way too self-critical of yourself without coming off as harsh or uncompassionate, “you’re not a loser. far from it.”

“you’re not very convincing.” you say hoarsely.

“well, you’ll just have to trust me then.” he says matter-of-factly, dropping his hand to rub your thigh with his thumb. “listen, i’m not the best with words, but i won’t lie to you. i would never lie to you, especially about how i see you.”

“i don’t even know what you see in me.” you choke on your words, letting out a small and swift shit escape your lips before you turn to reach for the tea that you had neglected in the midst of your breakdown.

“i see alot of things, most- if not all- of them good.”

you sigh into the cup with a sense of relief, he’d made you a london fog- your favorite. your eyes widen, you had run out of earl grey a few days ago, and you had coffee this morning due to that fact. this meant that levi must have gone to your favorite tea trader almost an hour away just to make this for you.

just to make you feel better.

suddenly you feel like crying all over again, but this time out of adoration for the stoic man in front of you, “did you go out of your way just to make me some tea?”

he turns his head to look to the floor, “it wasn’t out of my way.”

was he… shy?

your heart swells so much you think it might burst behind your rib cage as you take another sip of the tea, “i don’t deserve you.”

“you’re right, you deserve more.”

“stop it!” you swat his chest, “you’re perfect for me. i love you.”

he looks back to you, a trace of a smile on his face as he places a hand on top of your head to ruffle your hair gently, “i love you, yn. now are you going to tell me what’s wrong?”

you take a deep breath taking a savory sip of your tea fusion before placing it on the coaster sitting on your nightstand. “promise you won’t judge me?”

“i would never judge the person i intend on marrying.”

with a blush and your trillionth sigh of the day, you open your mouth to relay your shortcomings to him, suddenly feeling as if you could breathe freely so long as he was around.

lord why must I be such a perfectionist

[shhhhimwatchingthis]

Had a brainwave the other day and did some research and as far as I can tell Thailand does not have a screenwriters guild and holy shit that explains so much about how they produce their queer dramas/BLs/GLs

This is why they can make 50+ different shows a year.

This is why, with a few shining exceptions, most of them, even the really really good ones have some story element that leaves the audience feeling: hmmm felt like that needed another draft/pass

Because they do! But of course without a guild these writers probably aren't guaranteed multiple paid draft passes (and if they aren't being paid for it should not be doing them, to be clear) But that's why all these dramas are Written Like That.

Oh My God.

(For context of how it works in Canada, and probably most other international guilds though i can't guarantee specifity, screenwriters get their fees paid for an hour long drama script like below:

10% signing

20% outline

50% 1st draft

20% 2nd draft

What this means is writers are getting paid for three different writing stages (outline to second draft) getting notes from their showrunner/producers on each new pass. Most will also probably do some unpaid polishes (not heavy editing/rewrites but a few more revisions on final notes)

(this is also not to mention the production fee, a percentage of an episode's budget owed to a writer on start of Principle Photography)

Japan has a screenwriters guild. so does South Korea. I would imagine this is (part) of why Japanese and Korean queer dramas are often much shorter, but also very tightly written.

This is to all say, I've been on a bit of Thai drama binge lately, and I love their shows! I love how unafraid they are to play with genre (time loop! murder mystery! soul mates! hesists! vampires!) and also tone (sweet sugary teen romance! slow burn college kids! mafia angst!) I love how much variety there is, how many episodes they get to play with, how many of these shows play with complex themes.

But no matter how much I love some of these shows (and many of them are very good) I eventually come to a point where Something isn't working from a story/writing perspective. And it finally clicked why. They don't have to pay their writers!

Anyway i guess the TLDR is UNIONIZE

[crittaslink]

as part of clearing out my room, I finally looked through my art & design course portfolios from over a Decade ago that I shoved away and for some reason never glanced at since. most pages were 10min art exercises that, aside from some life drawing studies I still like and slips of class feedback from old peers, weren't really worth keeping around. here's some other stuff:

clay sculptures of baku-inspired critters I later painted loose directions on and dotted around the place, for the project prompt "vague"

typography class art of sparks with a brush made up of their names

brian eno in the inspiration moodboard apparently (ft. my ugly handwriting)

Hi! I just wanted to say, your every art of the Dealer gives me life with the way you draw each shape and expression! I'm late to the Hot Dealer brainrot development party and the fact that you are still here in it drawing is very encouraging. In fact, I might start drawing my own design interpretation because yours is so inspiring...

So basically, thank you for feeding me with your art! <3

another victim to dealer charisma. How Does He Do It™

there's a few other people who still draw him too it seems! i can relate to it being encouraging tbh.

as for me it's like. idk he's comforting to draw, which is kinda funny because i had to Specifically up my game on drawing fat (and also clothing folds now but that's relevant for art in general) to do my vision justice

even like making her slightly more fem is fun. it's not that different admittedly and can be easily confused with masc, but i've already expressed before that dealer is kind of both to me. it's just more clothing choices and extra curves to keep in mind

falling in love with a fictional entity really can do a lot for your art. can you believe it's been a year.

i hope you have fun too :3

[mabaris]

not to complain about the enshittification of the internet but ign walkthroughs are pretty useless nowadays huh

[ant1quar1an]

Can I have uhhhh… Witherborn Classic and Nightmare for the ‘SO being used as a hostage’ ask, please?

Classic's elusive and light-footed. If you've been taken, all hell is going to break loose. Not only is he absolutely hunting that fuck down but when he strikes it'll be swift and lethal- and very likely highly painful.

Nightmare's going to commit genocide.

Did u guys know I love making AUs in medieval-fantasy settings

[queenlua]

it's interesting how i'm willing to forgive HUGE continuity/consistency/coherency errors if a book has a pedal-to-the-metal, balls-to-the-wall, bro-i've-just-done-so-many-drugs-get-in-the-fucking-car kinda vibe

but if a book is merely "pretty good" and "pretty normal" but commits one-too-many subtle continuity errors i get irate

I thought I made good progress today but checked a video and what the fuck I'm not even halfway through. God bless. On one hand yesss I have SOOO much phainon content to look forward to on the other hand dear god that is a lot. Not complaining at all tho I'm excited... tho to be fair a good chunk of my progress today was spent exploring the city and I got all the chests... huge sprawling cities are always my fav maps, penacony golden hour is still peakest of peak cities to me but okhema is lots of fun too~

I gotta lock in... in preparation for maxing aven I had cleared all the content in the game up until when shackling prison released where aven stopped getting screentime and I was like what's the point of anything anymore BUT with phainon coming dear god I need to get back on the damn grind
