one thing i really wish people wouldn’t forget when it comes to suguru’s character is that his core desire is just to have a family. not in a nuclear family way, but in a “i want a place where i belong / i want to protect the ones i love” way…… literally everything else is just an extension of that desire. a means to meet that end. he broke down after being forced to realize that staying with his family meant having to watch them die, so he left and made a new one. and he got stronger. and his core wish was always, always always to create a world where he’d finally be able to protect them :(((((((((

Rhiannon: *calling Ianto*

Ianto: Hi Rhiannon, are the kids ok?

Rhiannon: Yeah they're fine, I was just wondering-

*sounds of machinery in the background*

Rhiannon: ...what's going on? Is this a bad time?

Ianto: Oh that? No yeah its fine I'm just tossing my boyfriend off a cliff.

Rhiannon: You're...what? What's going on? Is everything alright?

Ianto: Oh yeah. It's just that he's currently fully encased in cement so I've gotta break him out.

Rhiannon: ...

Rhiannon: But wouldn't that kill him Ianto?? If this is a bad time I can-

Ianto: *laughs* Oh don't worry about him he'll be fine. So what's up?

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you had any writing tips? I'm looking to improve on my writing skills and such, so I thought I should ask you for some tips

You're so sweet for asking me this ;v; I'm not sure how good my advice will be, but I'll do my best! You're never a bother, I'm honored you want my advice on this!

The main thing is find your style. Similar to drawing, everyone has a unique kind of style. It takes a long time to get there, and it doesn't even necessarily need to be something big and bold and 100000% original. Your style is what you're most comfortable or confident with! For example:

1st style: Third person vs first person

2nd style: Long and flowing paragraphs vs shorter and more to the point sentences

There's a million ways you can work on and find your style, and that mostly comes with practice! And you don't have to immediately start with anything big, but the best piece of advice is:

You wanna do a really big project? Go for it. Lemme explain, if you start off with something relatively difficult, then you can learn from each individual mistake and be more confident for the next big project. Writing is a form of art, and it takes time and patience to get to where you wanna go. Or, if the challenge seems too daunting, do something small, short, easy.

It's good to even it out! So in my case, Prisoner is the biggest project I have (aside from a challenge I'm doing for October), and I go through and do one or two requests that won't take as long to think and plan through than a longer story. Oneshots are an EXCELLENT way to get your feet in the water and start to find and develop a style.

Everyone writes differently, and no two stories are the same. The most important thing is to find your rhythm. Try new methods of getting things done! It could be anything that gets your creative juices flowing. An ambient ASMR video that reminds you of what you wanna write, making a flowchart on paper to remember what you plan to do with the story better, a google doc detailing all the different things you want to write and putting them in order.

Being yourself sounds like cheesy advice, but I feel like with creative arts...you learn a lot about yourself and what you're capable of. You can work and try new methods of writing, and finding out exactly what works best can be tough. And the important thing to remember, is art is subjective. Some people will send you hate, and remembering that you SHOULD be proud of what you creative will make a world of difference.

I rambled a whole lot, but basically I'm saying be patient with yourself. You're not gonna be perfect. No one is, but those little mistakes? They're reminders that we can ALWAYS improve, and create things we're truly proud of because it was the best we could do at that moment. As long as you look at your mistakes with an open mind, kind of like accepting constructive criticism, then you can get better and reach the place you want to be and are comfortable. Don't be perfect, and don't expect perfection. Expect to give it your best effort and learn from those mistakes you make.

I believe in you, you're kind and everyone needs to be told someone is proud of them sometimes. You're reaching out, which already means you want to improve and deserve to be told you'll create amazing things. Be kind to yourself, and know that as long as you do your best, you should be proud.

since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:

its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????

at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?

in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran

the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline

ahhhh I was trying to grab apollos fat ass off a window ledge he can't fit on and he scratched my throat

At it again.

I do intend to actually clean the Sand one up and do it properly because I do have it partially built in the Sims because that's who I am as a person, but apparently we're doing Ray's rich boy rooms first.

In crayola coloured pencil and crayon because I never actually went and got my architecture degree and I can do what I want.

how do you people study through extreme exhaustion? bc thats what always gets me during the exams & i cannot keep doing this forever

[trickstersaint]

Loved the uquiz you made. Do you have more?

man do i!!! fans of the new patron saint quiz + the poetry on this blog in general will almost definitely enjoy its older sister assigning you a catholic saint! lots more poetry in there but with a more specifically religious focus and it will not be as mean to you as the patron saint one <3

list of other uquizzes i've made here! they are all much older and anything past the saint ones will not be as well-written but i am going to try and make some new ones soon :) the supervillain one and the moomin one hold up i think... if you take any of the other ones and they are silly. be nice to high school me. he did not plan on them being seen by a wide audience.

Hey so im moving out of my flat tomorrow and due to my university* being Awful at Admin and me having to spend a lot of time and energy fixing shit, I have to pack down essentially my entire flat in one night. Anyone got any tips for how you pack quickly?

*technically former. I graduated and will only ever return for a) a brief stint as an advisor in a subject I aided in developing and b) the residency meet-up in like 9 months

your art style is so fucking sick i love the way your shapes are defined,,, is your hand still injured? because honestly the brand is fucking impeccable either way. the shakiness really gives it emotion and almost like. god. its just so... i want to study it so bad.

do you have anything in specific that really inspired the way you developed your shapes and the rest of it?? i keep saying shapes and its mad vague but i hope you know what i mean

like how you decide what lines should go where to define what, i guess.

enuff yappin tho. point is. ur shit is HYPE.

aaa thank youuuuu :')c <3 hand is sadly still injured 😎💀 have started drawing a bit with it tho! just gotta be careful with it(<-was not careful with it)

And agdhd dont worry, shape is actually the perfect word to describe it! So the way I approach things is well, shapes lol Literally, I try if I can to stick in as many solid shapes as I can They help keep things clean n uncluttered(which I am trying 2 get better at) and can help make things feel more solid I try and break down what I'm drawing into the most basic 3d shapes I can in my head without going 2 abstract or cartoony And then it's just kinda tracing those shapes in ur mind down 2 the page? I think this also helps with getting more like, volume/depth in, since basic shapes r easier to imagine in 3d then like, actual real life human anatomy i like to think of it kinda like sculpting, you start with simple big shapes and then slowly chip away n add more detail where necessary Asaro heads r a great recourse for this kinda stuff n theres some good ones u can just find online! actually, here are 2 link link (i actually gotta try n use these more,, u_u(oh shit just googled n theres actually also asaros bodies, i gotta check those out 2 lol)) Then it's just finding a good balance of curved and straight shapes, the ratio of which can change a lot depending on the vibe ur going for or character ur drawing

scribbled over some of my art 2 try n show what i mean better lol

sorry for the late response! hope any of that made sense!
