FINISHED WORK?? on MY page??? it's far less likely than you'd think. and yet, somehow, here we are. :D

(well, finished enough to post and call "done", i should say. i may yet meddle with some details when i inevitably notice ten more flaws immediately after posting :D)

good old moss knight, such a devout follower of big slug. surely no wandering knight would ever end such a noble creature's life before he had the chance to speak with a certain fellow at a nearby bench! :D

this was essentially just me testing the waters with digital after some time avoiding it, and especially colours/lighting. it's been a while since i actually tried to make something fully fleshed out like this. i don't know, i feel like it could have come out worse :)

here’s the little october prompt list i drew up for myself! i’m going to be filling a single paper with one doodle a day, glass dip pen and pot of ink style!!

Inktober-ember Frost (?)

Truths: the one true commodity

It is my lifeblood, My true vigour, Need the understood; Mind is rigour. Even cold truths as bitter as frostbite Grant view-cocoon for you from its insight. Though painful as a lie or grievous wound, There’s absolute solace in being tuned.

Its weight holds true power, Magic of a kind, Even in the darkest hour, Truth can change a mind. I and truth, like an ex, love-hate, often we do fight, But the choice between it and bliss is far from a plight. Though I may be driven paranoid by feast-lacking, Quest consuming, my mind indefinitely racking

To lose light and risk footing, Swallowed by dark, See fake shadows while looking, For a lost spark The loss of truth is one of death, Perception withers its last breath. Deluded I pace in shallows. Lies drive me to my gallows. Truth based bliss, is like blood from bone. Blinded kiss, Is a comfort loan. I understand why truth is in short supply, Because poison’s a useful tool, like a lie. We lie to ourself, we listen self-credulous. Poison overflows to become venomous. Secrets are funds, Truth is minds tender you can’t refund, one sided vendor.

Complacency in current balance of truth, Self-indulging the fear of pulling a tooth, What if all is razed from what was once unknown, Best we rest in bed made before all is thrown. A Bed unclean. It can still be slept in. Poking unseen, fickle popped by pin. If all crumbles by truth’s might, That is a bullet I will bite, The strongest things weather the truth And so I prowl self-acclaimed sleuth. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The 8th stanza is my fav, it's so succinct and rich, though that's only because it surprised me; I didn't plan on it being that good. What can I say, I'm a sucker for spontaneity! Does 8th stanza make sense, terms wise? I still have not bothered to learn any terminology (or how to keep meter :p). I have learn't how to stay up to finish poems and then flop into bed too tired to do my night routine, I've got that on lock down :) ... well... time to go do that! Side note: I don't know how tags work HELP!!!

Drawing 1/30 for DAtober. Prompt: Introductions. A young Min Hawke meets a dashing dwarf who saves her purse from a thief. She’s immediately charmed… but doesn’t trust him further than she can throw him. (Yet.)

Inktober's heeere!!! It's like walking into a very very very very cool museum for free!!!

[wyervan]

Hello!! Everybody!!!

I’d first like to say~~~

My goodness gracious, if you told me 6 months ago I would have this many (and largely I imagine from the DCA fandom!?!), I would have been in utter disbelief 🫢 …but also absolutely delighted!!

I’ve had such a lovely summer doing fanart and interacting with the community. You guys are all so fun and welcoming!

There’s so much more I want to do and now that I’ve largely wrapped up @/dcazine work, I finally have time to explore other ideas!!! I’ve been thinking about it CONSTANTLY. Just art ideas and AUs and comics and yap yap yap

some specifics

Spruce up some sketches from a coupla months ago that i actually really like

fanart! God, i have seen so many cool designs and read SO many fics over the past few months and I have so many feelings and I’m going to pour them on other people through their screens. 👁️ 👄 👁️

Slasher!DCA AU stuff. It’s been at a rolling boil in my brain for WEEKS and i kno it’s a lil out there 😶‍🌫️ but i think i got a actual story to tell and some of u might be interested :3 ?

Lotta inktober sketches bc i love an excuse for dark inky monochrome spooky content. can’t wait. 😛

An actual about-me pinned post

Um! And i’m always good for a message! about anything, but especially art! Always feel free to @ me. i read all your guys’s tags and comments and stuff and it makes me all gooey in the chest 🫠.

Expect mostly sketchy stuff for the next while—kinda burnt out on rendering and i want to become a more efficient drawer anyway can still take me hours to do a simple sketch 😭.

But no yeah super excited for the next few months, see u all again vera soon :3

[rennikun]

Hi guys!! Today I had the wondrous idea to put together a little something I call ~Soultember 2024~. Essentially, it's like those Inktober challenges but it'll be Soul Eater themed and during the month of September!! I suddenly had the urge to set something up like this especially since I've been rewatching the anime.

Note: if you do decide to use these drawing (or even writing!!) prompts during any day in September, PLEASE credit me and make sure to tag me as well as tag the challenge, which I'll set as #soultember2024 !! I'm excited to see all the creations and ideas you are all capable of bringing to life :3

Please also don't forget to reblog, comment, share, and like so I know it's gaining traction!! It would make me very happy if everyone who wanted to do this challenge could participate<3

*More of me yapping under the cut!!*

Of course, I will likewise attempt to participate. September is when I start my first year of college, so I'm excited but I'll be busy. That being said, don't feel forced to complete a work for each day!! I understand that life can be busy. Still, I encourage anyone and everyone who sees this who like Soul Eater to participate, even if it's just for a day!

Even if your art isn't how you'd like it to be, Soultember 2024 is a good way to practice composition, color, etc and to share it with others who will be able to appreciate your hard work<3 I hope this challenge will bring people closer together and serve as a lighthearted, fun activity to do whenever you may be feeling bored during the month of September.

Additionally: Feel free to use all / any of the prompts set for each date! I myself am going to try to hit all prompts, but don't feel like you have to.

Let's all have fun!! <3

Sternentreue | Oath / Promise

Yes, I have finally done it, I have named one of my creative ourbursts after the German name of Oathkeeper (which I LOVE because it's such a great, poetic name IMO - it roughly translates to loyalty to the stars, which can be read as staying true to a chosen destiny), SoKai shipping lifegoal accomplished, let's move on.

Also, it's still Inktober, but I might do a colored version of this once it's over. As always, I'm using a prompt from my own prompt list (feel free to use it for your Inktober project as well, and please tag me if you do, I'd love to see it!!).

As always, please reblog on Tumblr instead of reposting. I'm fine with having my work reposted on other social media sites that I'm not on, as long as I'm credited (ideally by linking my blog or my main). Do not claim my creative work as your own! Thank you 💗

The Suptober23 Check-In!

As you may have noticed, today (October 15th) marks the last consecutive day of our prompt list for 2023, and that means no more daily reminders. But that doesn't mean it's all over--and I'm not just talking about that day 31 prompt either! If you're anything like me, you've still got a few days to catch up on (including today's haha oops!) Or, maybe you wanted to join, but you missed the start and thought you couldn't. Jump on in and post those things! Use the rest of the month to get them done! And don't forget to add them to the Ao3 Collection. Also, hey, keep on using that #suptober23 tag so we can find your stuff!

If you managed to knock this challenge out of the park and complete all 15 prompts already, this doesn't mean you have to stop creating. If you're still hungry for more, I'm betting you can find some prompts on old suptober lists, or from friends, or, hey, you could even jump onto the #inktober prompt list if you wanted! The sky is the limit, and you've unlocked God Mode. Congrats to you, my friend. I am envious of your time management skills.

I want to give a massive shout out and thank you to all of you who have worked so hard these last two weeks to bring us such a treasure trove of new art and stories. Thank you for the time you spent creating, and thank you to all the people who've been so kind and encouraging to each other throughout the event. Suptober only is what it is because of all of you. And it is pretty incredible, if you ask me.

Saz's Sandman Masterpost

Hi there! It's about time I sorted out this blog and put all my Sandman posts in one place. If you're new here, I adore the Sandman in all its forms and my blog has become a bit of a love letter to this masterpiece of media lately. I mostly write meta analysis, love to discuss the work and the characters, and occassionally try my hand at running fandom events. My ask box is always open and I am always happy to answer any questions about Sandman so please do reach out to me if you like my meta :)

I welcome all fans of The Sandman here, though I can occassionally be NSFW so if that's not your jam make sure you have "NSFW" tag blacklisted. I'm a multishipper of the firm believe that Dream of the Endless should be passed around the other characters like a bowl of goth candy. I don't tolerate ship hate. It's all good here my loves.

I have a fairly decent tagging system. I tag all ships, characters, fanart, meta discussions, fanfiction, etc. You can find the list of common tags below.

My Meta Analysis

Masterpost of Dreamling meta - this is an eight part highly detailed analysis of Dreamling in the show and how it differs from the comic and audiobook, with a focus on how queercoding was used to emphasise a deeper relationship between Dream and Hob.

Hob Gadling - A Queer Romantic - a meta about unreliable narrators, Jim/Peggy and Hob's queer potential.

The Problem with Thessaly - an opinion piece on this problematic comic character and how the show could solve this issue.

Lucienne/Lucien - How the Librarian Became the Chief - a thorough analysis of Lucienne's character in the show and how she differs from the comic and makes everything so much more hopeful.

Tales in the Sand/Men of Good Fortune - How a small swap in story placement can drastically change the tone, and foreshadowing.

Dream of the Endless - A Romantic Fool - a deep analysis about Dream and his love of romance

How to Adapt Orpheus - Theories and discussions about how the show can navigate that particular element of the comics.

How to Adapt Orpheus x 2 - definitely worth reading all the discussions on this one as well.

Shipping comic!Morpheus and merging characters in the show - can I hear it for Morpheus/Pharamond PLEASE!

A Collaborative Post about Morpheus as the villain of the story

Could Morpheus ever be content to be single?

Morpheus and Sex - an analytical point of view

Obsessive Desire - Their complex feelings for Dream - an answered ask about the siblings relationship. (I have a draft meta in the works elaborating on this that I can't wait to finish).

Fandom Events

#Death Appreciation Week - To celebrate the release of Dead Boy Detectives which guest stars Death of the Endless, I ran a Death Appreciation Week where anyone could submit fanworks focused on Death. Follow the tag on my blog which also includes a lot of reblogged older works of Death, or follow the main tumblr tag to see just that work created for the event.

#Sandtober2023 - For inktober 2023, I ran a Sandman themed inktober event which was a huge success and inspired hundreds of amazing Sandman art pieces. You can check out the Sandtober2023 main tumblr tag here. I am probably going to run this event again in October 2024 so watch this space nearer the time for that! :)

If you have any ideas for Sandman fandom events you would like to see please send me a DM.

General Blog Tags

I have a relatively consistent tagging system on my blog so to cover the main ones:

#The Sandman - literally every post about the Sandman will include this tag, so if you are a loyal mutual from fandoms past and you want to block this tag you won't see me cluttering up your feed with Sandman stuff (and thank you for still following me even if you're not a Sandman fan!)

#Dreamling - tag for the Morpheus x Hob Gadling fandom ship. I will tag all things Dreamling - fanart, fanfics, fan theories, crack posts, gifsets etc.

#Sandman Meta - any analysis about Sandman will be tagged with this. This includes both my own analysis and reblogged analysis.

#Sandman Comic Spoilers - I tag for any posts that include Sandman story information not yet revealled in the show. In case there is anyone left on Tumblr who hasn't already been spoiled for this 30 year old comic story.

Character Tags - I generally tag for any characters I reblog or post about. So if you ever want to search for posts about a specific character, you can just find the character tag in my blog. For example #Dream of the Endless or #Johanna Constantine

Ship tags - like with character tags, I always tag fandom ships. Usually by the most popular fandom name for them. #morphanna #Gaultienne

Other fandoms - I will also always tag other fandoms. I have a very long running #destiel tag, I also tag for #good omens and #ineffable husbands and I will always tag the show name, abbreviation, and ship names for any other fandoms.

Other tags - I do try to tag for content warnings where I can, but usually only extreme things. Then again, it is rare for me to post about triggering content. Even squicky content is unlikely to be found on my blog. If you ever come across something on my blog that you feel isn't tagged appropriately please just DM me and I will correct that.

A bit about me

If my blog intro hasn't covered it so far let me clarify here. I am an adult, in my 30s and have never stopped being a passionate fan about the things I love. You don't stop loving things when you hit a certain age, you just find you have less time to devote to your hobbies because of work. I am a professional with a full time job, I come here to relax and unwind. I have been in fandom far too long to be remotely interested in fandom drama. Ship wars do not interest me. Weird anti-sex anti-kink purity policing has no power here. I am fiercely anti-censorship. If I hear the word "proship" in a negative sense I will roll my eyes and assume you are a minor who has been horribly mislead by puritanicals. I don't tolerate hate, accusational bullshit, bullying behaviour, cult-like fandom worship, or any form of fandom policing. I have no time for "big name fans" and the culture around them. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the trauma. Learn your fandom history lest you be doomed to repeat it.

I do not engage in performative social justice. I have my beliefs, my politics, and they generally revolve around the concept that people should be fucking decent human beings and let people be free to live as they choose. Don't come at me for not yelling about the next big world ending event. The world is always ending, people are always dying, there is always a genocide happening, its fucking exhausting. Just do what you can in your actual lives, donate where you can manage, provide support to those in need, and vote out the bastards who fucked it all up.

If you've read this far and are still here welcome! I hope you love my blog and want to be fandom friends. Come send me an ask, a DM, reply to my posts, engage with my meta, and just generally scream at me about Sandman. I always love it when people scream at me about Sandman. :)
