Ok don’t get me wrong i really enjoy Ameri but idk she’s felt a bit stagnant for me for a while? Ever since the arc where she got personality swapped I feel like she hasn’t had much meaningful character progression. Like don’t get me wrong, I love the little highlights here and there! Like for the music festival when she sends Ronovere (sp? idc he’s annoying) around it shows how well she knows her subordinates and what a great leader she is!! But like, with the way Iruma has been power creeping to Rank 5.5 it sucks that Ameri has been stuck at Rank 6 for like the past 2 years. I know she’s still a kid and Rank 6 is super high for a high schooler but still!! I want her to keep growing

ANYWAY my idea for how to incorporate her into the narrative is........make her join demon Border Patrol with her dad! “No doy” I hear you say, “that was always the plan”. Yeah ok I know but like, I want her to rise they the ranks as a hot shot, maybe go up a rank, and then meaningfully be forced to content with the Iruma v Border Patrol conflict thats brewing! I like Ameri and just want her to be a part of the plot godammit!!

Already seen victim blaming on xitter 👍 Lets not do that and lets leave the hermits alone. Make up your own minds on if you should support Iskall. But I feel like if one of his VH team members leaving for differing morals, the hermits going back 6 plus years to remove him from thumbnails and titles, and removing him from the site and merch should be enough Doc even said they can't talk about it which could mean anything, including something legal. Mumbo said there were no minors invovled but doesn't mean others weren't since there ARE victims Just leave the hermits be, and let the victims decide if they want to come out. And stop victim blaming lmao

hi….! any chance we can see your art process ? it’s fine if not! i was wondering if u do a sketch before your lines or you just skip directly to lineart? your art is very beautiful!

HI!!! AUGGHHHJHH THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH T__T my art style is kinda simple imo so my process is pretty bare-bones ^^;; there's not rly much too it!! it also kinda changes depending on how uhhhh lazy im feeling in the moment HAHA

probably around half of my drawings are straight to line art bc they're rly just doodles or things i decide to draw without any planning (but also im kinda impatient so i try to skip the sketching step if i can LOL...). but if i DO have a specific pose in mind for a drawing, i'll start with a sort of mannequin sketch or loose pass, then depending on how messy it is, ill either do the lineart pass on the layer on top or duplicate the sketch and then clean it up.

and then my coloring process is not sophisticated at all i just create a new layer and then paint bucket tool away LMAOOOO

here's an example of a drawing where i did sketch first ^_^

I can't read people's opinions on PH for ten minutes straight without feeling a little sick. People not only read with their asses, but also clearly don't care about translations

[daltonsnightmare]

I like to play a fun little game with myself where I take an edible and either start (or continue drawing, in this case) and I last as long as I can until I'm too high to continue. It's either the best decision I ever make or the worst. and right now I'm leaning towards the best

Thinking of a Frerard Halloween AU. Gerard's stuck babysitting tonight. Mikey's at a party, which Gerard guesses is probably code for "he's with Pete." He wishes his brother would just tell him, but maybe they do spend a little too much time around each other. Doesn't want them ending up like the Winchesters, always at each other's throats.

It's Frank's birthday, and he wanted to throw a party, but then he heard that Gerard wasn't going to go. Put out, Frank decides to go over and spook him. He's got his mask on and everything. On his way over there, he notices a tall figure with a white mask.

One minute they're there, next, gone the next time he turns around. He tries to laugh it off. It is Halloween, after all. Nerves get the best of him, though, so he high-tails it to the Haberman's front porch and starts banging the door like a madman.

Gerard opens it, squinting. His bubblegum pink hair is a mess, and he looks like a cute, albeit very sleepy goth turtle. Normally, Frank would rib him about it, maybe try for a kiss on the cheek while aching for more, but he's really freaked out, and he can't fake that.

"Took you long enough!" Frank grouses, locking up the door and the windows, on pure adrenaline at the moment.

"It's like... I don't know what time it is, but I know it's late," Gerard yawns, glaring at his friend. "You're gonna wake up Jessie!"

"I saw a weird fucking guy outside with a mask."

Gerard shoots him an impressed look. "Look in the mirror lately?"

"I'm serious, man! I think he had a knife!"

"I'm too tired for this, Frank."

"Whatever. You don't have to believe me. I'm staying the night. Not going back out there."

"Fine, just make yourself at home on the couch. I guess I'll fold myself in half and sleep on the ottoman..."

"Or we could share?"

"The couch?"

"No, a blunt."

"Frank."

"Gerard."

"Frank."

"That is my name, yes."

"This isn't even my couch!"

"And those aren't your pants. I know a pair of mine when I see it!"

"Alright, so they're yours!" Gerard huffs. It may be dark in here, but Frank's willing to bet his face is about as pink as his hair. "We're not gonna fit on that couch- it's meant for one Gerard, not one Gerard and one Frank."

"... Did you just-"

"Never mind that," Gerard yawns, eyelids drooping again. He usually stays up late, so for him to sleep at all is a miracle. "Fine, fine, fine... we'll... we'll share." He plops onto the couch, diving under the blankets immediately. He pops out his head to glare at Frank. "What? I'm cold."

Frank grins, a silly, stupid thing sitting in the middle of his face. "I wasn't gonna say anything!" He makes himself comfortable at the edge of the couch, snuggling as close to Gerard as possible. If he could bury himself in the guy's ribs, he would. "You're toasty."

"Sorry," Gerard mutters sheepishly, looking away.

"Why would you need to apologize for that? It was a compliment," Frank assures him, getting closer. It's a shame they're both wearing clothes, but he doesn't say that out loud.

Huh. The first OrangeHook fic I wrote now has the most hits out of anything I've written in the last two years. Weird.

I guess you never really know which fics are gonna take off. But still, this is hard for me to wrap my head around. I figured nothing would ever overtake the previous top dog, since that was for a very popular pairing (at the time) and also I wrote it as part of a fandom event, so naturally it was gonna have a few more eyeballs on it than usual. For a rarepair fic, of a pairing that's almost completely dead (the 'almost' being there due to the tireless work of my good buddy Dah, single-handedly keeping the OrangeHook train a-rollin' in 2024 *blows a kiss*) to overtake that, and still be getting traction here and there after over a year, is kinda nuts.

I have a weird relationship with that fic, in general. When I posted it, I really wasn't happy with it. It has Problems, LOL. The more time that passes though, I've kinda warmed to it more and more. It still has those Problems, for sure, but it came together pretty good in the end, I think? Probably some of my best dialogue, at least. That fic was only supposed to be two scenes - the opening scene with Best Friends, and the Awkward Hotel Room Seduction Scene - but it kinda ballooned as I was writing it, and I kept adding more and more. I don't think I realised at the time that OrangeHook was gonna become My Pairing for a good while. But it certainly did.

I'm in a...weird place, at the moment, regarding writing. Well. I don't know if I'm even qualified to say that, because the short version is - I ain't writing no' mo'. Haven't finished a fic, or even written more than a couple words, in over two months. Considering I was averaging one fic a month since January 2023, that's a downgrade for sure. This definitely isn't one of my usual writing slumps. I have Ideas (Such Ideas!) but zero motivation to write any of them. This isn't fandom's fault, to be clear. I do feel very out-of-touch and like the fandom's passed me by, but that's just because I don't watch AEW anymore because *almost falls back into old habits and launches into one of my annoying hater rants that I used to do all the goddamn time before I realised how lame that was and made myself act my age for once* reasons, and so I'm not particularly interested/invested in any of the popular pairings these days. The only pairings I do care about are ones like OrangeHook - microscopically small rarepairs where it's literally just me and one other person, and that's it. As much as I adore those folks (Gato <3 Dah <3), it's hard to find motivation when you know there's no audience waiting for you. Makes you feel like there's no point, y'know? Doesn't help that all of my ideas these days are goofy, self-indulgent AUs or bizarre crackfics. Even if I could put pen to paper, so to speak, I wouldn't exactly be giving the people what they want, LOL.

After I failed to get my Halloween fic done (it was, predictably, a goofy, self-indulgent OrangeHook AU about Jim falling under the sway of Hook, who's an incubus. Y'all are welcome that I didn't put that out into the world, LOL), I kinda figured that I might be done with writing again. Before January of last year, I hadn't written a word in years. I gave up on writing after some Bad Stuff happened. It felt like a gift to be able to do it again, after so much time. Kinda sucks to think I might be back to just Not Being Able To Do It At All again. Kinda really sucks.

There is this one idea. I've had it rattling around in my brain for a long time. It actually started as a Hookhausen fic (remember them? Where does the time go?), but I ended up adapting it to be OrangeHook over time. I have a lot of scattered ideas for scenes, bits of dialogue, and a pretty strong sense of what The Point would be. I did toy with the idea of starting it a while back (or at least trying to) and making it my swansong for the fandom/my writing in general. One last self-indulgent rarepair fic that no one cares about, and then I could peace out. To draw a line under things, y'know? Tie a little bow on this whole writing experiment of mine and then move on to...I don't know. Something else. Nothing? *shrugs* But that fic would be a big undertaking, at least for me. Would probably take a long time. A lot of work. And I ain't exactly drowning in free time. Plus, the aforementioned not-having-written-a-word-in-ages thing. I don't know.

We'll see, I guess.

If you read all of this, first of all - I am so very sorry, LOL. Second, thank you. If you're someone who's read anything I've put out there in the last two years, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. There's been...a lot of ups and downs, but overall, I'm really glad that I was able to get back into this, even if it didn't last too long. I'm pretty proud of a lot of the fics I managed to write, and while I know I was never the most popular girl in school, I hope that some of my silly stories entertained you. Made you laugh, or distracted you from the awfulness of reality for a spell. God knows, that's what all of your fics, and this fandom in general, did for me. Y'all are so nice. Creative, supportive, funny. It's kinda comforting, knowing that the fandom is still going strong. You kids have fun! Maybe this is goodbye, or maybe I'll channel that wrestler mentality and have 'One more match!' and then I'll retire. Who knows? But regardless, I'm glad I got to do this. No regrets. Well, maybe some, LOL. But for the most part...yeah. Shit was fun, yo. I did the damn thing.

OK, I'll shut up now, I promise *awkwardly finger guns my way out of the room*

i don't feel and process certain emotions as they come up like a normal person, instead i like to spend some time just feeling vaguely weird and numb and uncomfortable in my skin wondering why i feel like there's just something wrong with me that i cannot grasp until i finally have a crying breakdown when listening to a certain song or something and then i'm like oh. it was just a complicated emotion that needed to be expressed and let out of my brain ig
