Meeks tries to explain how they color, except it is disjointed because you can’t explain years of color theory and practice in one post.
I wanted to beat the allegations that I only draw warm colors so I made this Javier drawing with cool colors. Okay… well, cooler colors. I will never draw with strictly blue. Dark blue is my enemy.

I'm gonna go ahead and say this one more time, as someone whose ancestors literally evolved traditional medicine, 'cause I been seeing some dumb shit on social media again.
The average joe schmol doesn't possess enough knowledge of actual traditional medicine to know what the hell they're doing. Chances are, they end up whipping some rando concoction that at best does nothing, at worst is toxic.
The difference between medicine and poison is often the dosage.
Herbalism, alternative healing, home remedies, they do have their places in the modern world. But unless you really know what the fuck you're doing, you're better off and much safer with something FDA approved, than listen to some white lady with dreadlocks on TikTok who calls herself a "natural healer" and literally teaches you how to poison yourself.
I research and study herbs for fun, and my herb collection is way bigger and more practical than some souped up pretty picture on the internet. And you know what's the first thing I go for when I have a migraine? Excedrin.
When in doubt, modern medicine first, everything else supplemental.

I’m afraid my character has stereotypical traits. How do I avoid making them a caricature?
Is your character composed of several stereotypical traits, or is it just the one? Are they allowed to act and think in ways that are not confined to stereotypes? The more three-dimensional your character is, the less they are defined by the stereotypes.
One strategy that works in some cases is the “offset” character. This refers to weakening character A’s stereotype by including a character B of the same identity who isn’t stereotypical in that way. Say you have a selfless, “motherly” Black woman who looks after the cast. In addition to developing her own arc and her own desires, try adding a Black woman character with 0 maternal instinct who goes full steam ahead with her goals.
Trace your logic as to why you decided to give certain traits to a character of a certain identity. Our aptly named #trace your logic tag contains examples where we prompt the asker to interrogate their intentions behind certain ideas. Try to ask yourself the same questions.

And for those who don't know, you can't get magenta by mixing. You'll need to buy it.
Edit: Quick observation, this advice is for mixing paints and pigments, other mediums have different color specifications.

Hiiiiii for that pre king wish au. Is Loop going to deal with the repercussions of Siffrin always drifting and never finding an anchor? He was just a traveller, moving forward day by day, with nothing new or exciting to live for... until he met the family :3 BUT NOT WITHOUT THE KING-
OK SO. i have Many Thoughts about this, so bare with me here.
Loop, having gone through the Same Two Days for so long they've lost count of time, has a complicated relation with predictability and stagnation. On one hand, if nothing changes, then they can just follow the script, and they'll know what to expect. On the other hand, they'd rather die than be stuck repeating the same lines over and over again, not after finally being freed. And now, by a twist of fate, they're face to face with the past version of the monster they were fighting so hard to defeat.
I think, at first, they stick around as a helpful "guiding figure" while they sort through their own feelings and decide if they're gonna kill this guy or not. After much deliberation and one failed murder attempt, they decide to let him be. Unfortunately for them, in this time they've grown attached to the sobbing wet cat of a man they were stuck with (the King is actually very similar to Siffrin in this AU, so he probably hits a soft spot within Loop, that remembers the horrible feeling of confusion when they first landed in Vaugarde).
After the emotional tumult settles, I think that King intends to go to Corbeaux as per cannon, and Loop (without any better things to do), follows. On the way there, though, they pass by Bambouche, and Loop is hit by the Dread as they watch a slightly younger Bonnie with their sister run by them without giving them a second glance (well, they do look their way, but with confusion and curiosity instead of recognition). That's when it hits Loop that no one in their family is ever going to meet each other because the disaster they bonded over never happens.
I'm still mulling over how I'm gonna make this happen, but I want Loop to put the gang back together with the King's help (maybe on the pretense of finding more about the forgotten nation?). Loop clings to this purpose like a goddamn lifeline, because otherwise, as you mentioned, they would just go back to wandering aimlessly, stumbling around in a land that is not theirs. They want their happy ending because, after All of This? They deserve it.
(On an addendum, there is also a Siffrin in this AU, back when they still kept his hair dyed black.)
(On a second note, I'm currently making those in-game character profiles for the ones who don't have them yet - Loop, King and Nille - so. Uh. There is more to come 👍)
#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#two hats spoilers#isat au#it never happens au#oh ye btw#you know those art advice posts#that say that the best way to get better at art quickly is to get obsessed with one (1) character?#yeah i have to agree with them#drawing the sillies has made me surprisingly competent at copying the game's artstyle#and a lot better at working with a limited color palette#ANYWAYS! character portraits Soon (in like a few days maybe)

WritingWithColor FAQ: How do I start writing a character of color?
First, be mindful that no race, culture, or ethnicity makes one inherently predisposed to certain emotions or personalities, despite what stereotypes or TTRPGs may suggest. We are all humans who share the same range of emotions and ways of thinking, even if we have different values.
Understand that there is no single template for a good [race, ethnicity] character. A person’s social, economic, and geographical background influences their life and values just as much as their race, culture, or religion. Consider: a Black American boy who grew up in a California mansion versus a Black American boy who grew up on an Illinois cornfield versus a Black boy who grew up in an apartment one city over. All three will have very different privileges, disadvantages, and outlooks on life.
