So many art styles….

Anyway I’m gonna use this as like my pinned intro thing,

Hi my name is Menchú!!!! I like Homestuck, and I’m kinda shy but I really do like interaction and stuff, and I’m trying to get better at talking to people on the internet.

I usually just kinda tag whatever is in posts, and when it comes to reblogging I’m not sure how the queue works so I’ll just keep stuff in my drafts until I feel like it’s a good time to spam them all at once >__>

Do not interact if you are of a cruel nature, unless you’re able to put a spin on it in such a way that it is charming.

All my drawings and stuff are done on my phone with ibisPaint and the digital brush.

Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds~

Special adopt monday is here, and today, I bring you a pair of Masquerade themed ocs, with a bonus fancytier sprite! You know I usually don't post the whole spritesheets for adopts but listen, I spent a lot of time on this I want people to see them.

In my personal HC, the troll wears the Carnevale-esque outfit for when he taunts/punishes highbloods while the kid makes costumes for their local theater production. They made both of their outfits themselves. I hope they look cool to you, because it should be illegal to have a carnevale/jester inspired oc who looks boring because they're aesthetically so cool by themselves already,

If you're interested, you can get these cool guys from my ko-fi through the links below!

Ducasé Geller! (Old Art)

A chef with incredible prowess and a fight like no other. He lives in spite of the cards life has dealt him. He leads several kitchens, and is determind to put out the best food possible.

Ducasé has an affinity toward all things food, and has gotten into some very elite spaces because of it. He often works himself to the bone, because he will never trust anyone more than himself, often doing things on his own.

You inspired me to write! And I got up to 2k words for the first time ever when it comes to writing for myself... but I'm struggling a bit 😅 Do you have any advice about narrator POV and how you use your verb tenses? It's like I have no idea how you manage to "head-hop" while still being an omniscient narrator so smoothly & effortlessly. And verb tenses. if I write "was" one more time I might pop a gasket lol. any help is appreciated <3 have a good one!

First of all, that's freaking amazing! 2k is a lot, congratulations! That might sound weird coming from me considering how many words I put out, but I 100% remember the struggle of being newer to writing and hitting multiple thousands of words for the first time - I'm so happy for you!

Second of all: I actually write exclusively in third person limited POV, not third person omniscient! Even though I'm writing in third person, the narration is fully from the perspective of the point of view character, which I personally enjoy a lot because it allows for a lot of unreliable narration and also characterization through how their train of thought manifests (choppy, stressed, dreamy, etc). That's why when I'm writing from the point of view of character A, for example, any assumptions about character B's motivations are what character A is thinking, not an omniscient narrator informing you.

That said, you still have to head-hop specifically to write the actual visible actions and dialogue of the second character, and that's actually the most recent thing that I used to struggle with in writing specifically because I got most of my initial writing experience doing roleplay where I was only ever responsible for one character's thoughts and actions at a time.

Honestly, the main thing I can say is that it gets much, much easier with practice. When you start out, it will genuinely just take you longer to switch from the mindset of one character to another! I used to take character notes to put together little snapshot profiles of character headspaces to re-orient myself between the characters I was writing when I felt like I was getting lost. They included things like a few traits to keep in mind, behavior mindset, and snippets of dialogue that I thought were very representative. I don't use these anymore, but I do still do things like rewatch episodes or reread portions of books when I'm learning new characters to orient myself to their personality. It's like code-switching to me nowadays.

As for verb tense: I was a consummate Homestuck, so I started out writing in second person present tense, hahaha, and while I've adopted the third person POV (and believe me, this took adjusting), I've kept writing in present tense as a personal preference. I like it because it makes things feel more in-the-moment as they're happening, because there's less grammatical fuckery involved when describing the past vs the present, and just because I'm used to it. That said, past tense is more common and stands out less to people, and I think that you are finding all of your "was"s a lot more noticable than a reader would! People generally don't really notice the tense of what they're reading once they get into the flow of it.
