2024 Writing Year In Review

tagged by @persnickett :~) thanks friend

speeding 72 - january 27 - the maze runner, brenda/teresa (90% written in 2023 )

“Do you wanna go somewhere?” Brenda asks you. “Somewhere else. Somewhere we choose.” The stoplight reflecting in her eyes turns green, and you nod. You are Teresa Agnes, and you fall in love in the passenger's seat of a truck.

2. longing needs the leaving (loving needs the bleeding) - april 1 - the chronicles of narnia, caspian/peter

“You’re gone,” Caspian growls. “You’re never coming back.” “But I could!” Peter insists. “I could come back. The island can make it happen.” -- A reflection on Caspian's life and relationship with Peter, alternating between the events of Prince Caspian and The Dawn Treader.

3. my girl's girl - may 7 - the maze runner, teresa/brenda/minho

When Minho jokingly suggests that his girlfriend Brenda ask out her new coworker she seems quite smitten with, it turns into a real shift in their relationship.

4. survival is insufficient - september 29 - the maze runner, teresa/beth

Years after a deadly virus wipes out most of Earth’s population, Teresa roams the wastelands as The Traveling Doctor, offering her services from place to place rather than settling down at any one. When she comes across a new group led by the former firefighter Beth, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her purpose in this new world.

honorary mention: put down your weapon, child - january 4, 2025 (was almost entirely written in 2024) - the maze runner, gen

He was trying to protect me, Chuck realizes. Just like Gally did. Just like Alby. He surprisingly thinks, for a moment, that he’s getting a little tired of people trying to protect him, if this is how it’s going to keep turning out. - Chuck survives the escape from the Maze. This is the trilogy through his eyes.

A very late Birthday + Christmas present for @gen-is-gone based on The Year of Intelligent Tigers by Kate Orman

I designed it to function as an alternate cover for the book as well!

The similarity is uncanny... Fairy godmother being Azul's grandma is starting to look more and more canon /j

And what if I say I had a secret fem azul ver I mean what. Who said that

Anyway, non-sparkle ver is utc! (Coincidentally, Sparkle from Your Name just started playing)

I bet you didn't expect to see the ver I made last year. But yeah bro when I colored I made them look like ghosts idk 😭😭 The glow up goes crazy, all in the span of 11 months (tbf to past me, I was also lazy and speed ran it)

waow 2024 is almost dead!!! gone too soon. feels like it’s been a big year for me art-wise for many reasons, BUT. i’m making 2025 bigger.... hopefully....i’ve made some art goals for next year which i won’t explain in detail but they boil down to 1) do more studies 2) tackle my weaknesses (backgrounds, dynamic poses/angles, uhhh lots of stuff i am a one trick pony right now) 3) get into drawing comics, all of which are in preparation for 4) take my story ideas more seriously and get started on one of the many graphic novels living in my head. i have one in mind i HAVE to complete in my lifetime or i will die, but firstly i’m gonna mess around with some little standalone svanhildr comics perhaps. goat fans rejoice. 

anyway i wasn’t meant to ramble so i’ll just say THANK YOU for the support as always!!! i’m very flattered all of these have more than 1000 notes.....crazy. thank you. muah

random note about king on that animation, i got really lucky with how simple his animation was and how clean my sketches were to begin with that i was able to do very minimal cleanup on what i had sketched (and add back. his horn. it's supposed to take place just after echoes of the past, Oops) and call it done that way instead of having to redraw the entire thing like i had to on his dad

first sketch > line cleanup > nearly final animation (i'd added slight eye movements last-second but otherwise that's the final)

Well. It's that time of the year, isn't it? Hoo boy, where do I even begin.

This year was a rough one in so many ways, but god were there so many good things in it as well. Memory is hard to follow sometimes, I blame the mental illness for that one, but y'know what can you do. What I definitely have never forgotten is the fun I've had on this blog, and all of my other ones despite any lack of activity over these past few months.

Time really flies when I no longer have it, these past four months have just slipped past me as if they didn't exist now. After having moved out in August with my lifetime bestie Gryffon, most of my time has been working and stuff to keep our place together intact. I'm more than grateful for the shit they've done for me over this past year in general as a friend, and frankly without them I wouldn't have made it to where I am today.

And to the rest of you, the people this post is really for lmao. What a fucking wild time to be alive now, huh? I know this might have been my weakest year in terms of activity compared to my previous ones, but that doesn't take away from the fact that I still have met some amazing people and still wrote some amazing things and threads. The amount of creativity in this community that Tumblr has brought to me is astounding and not a single word I've written has gone to waste with the time I have left put here.

2025 is a scary number. I'm nervous about what this next year will hold, but that's okay. In the end, nothing can break my drive to entertain, to be creative, to build worlds and relationships between characters I love to see and portray as well. I think even if I'm not going to be as active as your favorite Thespian has been before, it'll still be good.

To everyone who read this and to everyone who has made it here. Thank you. I'm truly proud of you for making it out to the end of this year. And I thank you for being by my side and supporting me while you were doing that, too. We'll get through this next year together as well, though all the ups and downs, through whatever pain and whatever losses might occur, and through all the wonderful moments that make us appreciate what life is. Truly just. Living.

You all are important to me. More than you know. Every single person I follow, just know I look up to you in some sense of the word. I hope I'll be able to enjoy life with you as we move forward. You all continue to inspire me with my writing, and I'm lucky to be able to call you my friends as well. And if we aren't there yet, I hope to be able to get there sometime soon.

Thank you all. Have a wonderful year, a safe night, and take care of yourselves.

With SO much love, ~Thespian
