have you done the "type the problem into a calculator and copy the answer back" encounter?

[pastelaspirations]

For totally not art related reasons, do you have any refs or drawing of Dream and nightmare? Or Ollie and Oren perhaps???

....Ghost. What are you doing. S t o p. You've already drawn so much, my heart can't handle, I can't keep up, you're literally out here making more art for my fic than me, I need to lock in, please-

O k a y. So the short answer is n o. I keep their appearances vague enough, that you can sort of imagine whatever clothes you want on them :D That is definitely not just an excuse because I'm... really bad at imagining clothes on people, but that's besides the point-

The long answer is, Dream and Nightmare should be easy right now. They don't differ much from their canon appearances, so you can draw them pretty close to how they appear in canon. Just, I like to imagine them in posh sort of, fancy 𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓭𝓸𝓶 clothes. Nightmare in a lot of purples and dark colors, and Dream is in a lot of yellow, golden and ivy colors :D Idk, man. Just. Any flouncy sleeve shirt, kingdom-esque, fairytale clothing would probably work for me, I have not put a ton of thought into what they wear besides the general colors they tend to wear-

Ollie and Oren are a lil different since I have to describe their general appearance lol. The clothes, they're the same deal as the Catcher twins; just give 'em whatever the hell fantasy clothes you want. Only exception is Oren's Royal Guard outfit is like a set of armor with the Delta Rune logo on the front like Boris lol

But, basically, to try and be short, Oren = crimson red dragon with sort of jagged horns that point backward if that makes sense. His horns/claws are darker red than the rest of him and he has orange/amber looking eyes. Also, wings of course lol (Maybe they've got a few holes in 'em now after Ink lmao)

Ollie = Turquoise, blueish dragon with a purple right eye and an opaque, cloudy, scarred white eye on the left. The left side of her face is just generally scarred and you can probably see a tooth poking out because her mouth doesn't close like it used to lol. Her horns/claws are a darker turquoise/blue color, and her horns are just smooth curves and not sort of jagged like Oren's if that makes sense lmao. She has wings too that look pretty normal (even if she can't fly with them. Invisible disabilities, babyyy-)

But yee! I hope this sort of helps! Kind of. Maybe. I haven't drawn them yet, but I can sort of describe them-

Brenda Miller has always been good at acting. Faking. Pretending. She’s been doing it her whole life, acting like her home life was fine when her parents were in the middle of a divorce. Faking the perfect cheerleader. Pretending she loved being at the top of the high school food chain, being the Queen of Jeanes High.Her whole life, she’s been acting without a script.Now it’s time to write one, she thought, picking up Jackson’s diary.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

attention, all glittering cheddar miners: melon bun cookie is in great danger and she needs your help to wipe out the goblins in the secret goblin mine. but to do this, she needs an upgraded pickaxe and a couple of cheese stones. to help her, all she needs is your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year. but you gotta be quick so that melon bun cookie can secure the bag and achieve the (radio static)!

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

If you saw me agreeing with being annoyed about wasted helium in a fictional context and were like "I bet she has some more helium based anger in her life" good news LAPD fucked up a raid on a medical facility they thought was a pot farm and flat out ruined thousands of gallons of the stuff.

Male character: I'm not attracted to women.

Fandom: Oh, he's gay.

Female character: I'm not attracted to men.

Fandom: Oh, she's a lesbian.

Any character: I'm not attracted to anybody.

Fandom: Well, we don't know that they're ace/aro/aroace. It's open for interpretation. They're not canonically ace/aro/aroace unless they specifically say they are.

Hmmmm. I wonder why we're so frustrated in fandom spaces. I wonder if there's a reason.

did this as a quick scribble at like 1 AM last night and...immediately lost all motivation to ever clean it up. ( ᐛ ) but I had to draw my son being the fanciest little flower boy who ever threw petals down an aisle. oh my god.
