And some days, I just wish you wouldn't look at me at all.
#ffxiv#sketch#wol#meteor survivor#zenos yae galvus#adventurer zenos#oh no#its the consequences of his actions#everything is fine until the only man on the star you care about looks at you with the same contempt your father did#(Meteor's not doing it intentionally- its a reflex after he comes back for quite a bit)#and zenos is getting bodied because its been a while since... you know... him being able to really feel anything at all#and no- its not him regretting anything that had to do with varis- just him regretting the thought meteor could look at him like that#little does Meteor know he's emotionally bodying the man he's trying to be cordial with#its a little okay because in how I write adventurer zenos this serves as one of his main wake-up calls to make some changes#and realizing both the mistakes he's made with meteor and that meteor hating him in any way is actually -not at all- what he wants#but not okay on the end that every time meteor does this he has to watch zenos actively dissociate right in front of him#until zenos just kinda autopilots and walks away#the second time (or perhaps third) in the last 11 years that zenos has felt regret to any major capacity-#on meteor's end I just enjoy seeing the progression of the WoL through subtext#and why meteor is willing to even entertain the idea despite how much he hates zenos- his decisions and the path he's walked#is the realization that there is high chance that he could actually be a direct catalyst for zenos' growth#and the realization the wol has that they were the only one zenos has ever genuinely reached out to#besides- i just like the idea of having your equal other half fighting back to back with you- or being able to handle threats you cant#and i find their dynamic neat- of meteor not forgiving zenos but giving him his last chance- and growing to enjoy being around him#and zenos being able to work on moving past being the weapon or the monster- finding the connections he's longed for#and giving himself purpose to finally truly just live- for him to learn to experience and have the freedom to find what he enjoys#(and curiously him having estinien's brand of accidently helping people even in StB gives me ideas...)#but enough tag ranting- ill get to zenos' actual adventuring in another post lol

wip posting just to get something out there, and it's def a mixed bag!! the only thing more inconsistent than my posting schedule is my art style RIP
#wip#yapping below#1. sinnohtrio group pic where nothing bad has happened yet... dedicated sinnoh post coming soon#2. personalizing dawn and lyra's togekisses with different coloring and markings based on region. there's lyra's omelette :]#3. timeskip red and leaf except it's just pikachu#4. top left is all the assets i made for my cs final project! a little cherrim themed browser game#then there's sprites for my champion dawn; cool concept methinks but it's definitely a work in progress. peep the giratina hairclips#some vaugely lugia/ho-oh inspired protag ideas for a hgss sequel#anddd a bunch of background doodles. goldenrod flower shop and a very saturated mt. silver#in timeskip there shall be a proper town at mt. silver's base to officially bridge kanto and johto (and make lyra's work commute easier)#5-7 is me spitballing ideas abt pokemon biology#dratini & dragonair are forever sea snakes to me!!! though i do enjoy the amphibian interpretations#also i didn't know dragonite island was already a thing from pokeani... rip wyverse dragon master lore#i think crobat looks goofy no matter how you stylize it. silver and his big bumbling bat that insists on grooming its trainer. so unserious#there's a togekiss page too but then i remembered egg groups are a thing so i'm revising parts of it#i spent so long trying to come up with a reasonable wing-to-body ratio for togekiss and crobat. literally useless when dragonite can#apparently fly around the globe in 16 hours. are you Kidding me. dragons weren't even merging with jet planes until gen 3.#OK that is all. sorry for the lack of uploads wah#i'm like a ferret hoarding all my doodles until the quantity > quality lever switches in my brain to give the ��� to post#i did made a spam blog but who knows if i'll actually post on there lol! probably for non-pkmn related stuff

Amber: Oh wow, you're like the hottest mess in Bingtown and completely doomed. Fully out of your depth. Not a chance you'll succeed.
Althea: 😡
Amber, fanning herself: You misunderstand me. I'm super into that, bestie. Let's make a friendship bracelet.
#realm of the elderlings#ship of magic#finally made some progress in this book lmao#amber#althea vestrit#hobb sure knows how to make me hate a dude this book makes me feel homicidal

making big strides now that I'm not crippled by pain and wanting to shout it from the rooftops but somehow feeling awful about it because I'm not doing it fast enough. #livelaughlove
#im fraid ill actually never be comfortable flaunting my progress on social media unless deranged via substances or the delerium#of plainly existing with a factory recall brain#anyway i finished the final chapter and made some incredible developmental edits and im kinda sobbing about it. per the usualllllllll#always feeling like the 'i cant hold all these limes'-guy#theres so much left to do and no victory until i have something (incredible and completely flawless) to show. thats a healthy mindset right#im going back to the mines. but if you heard a lil celebratory eep. that was me#adding delete later as a failsafe because even this vulnerability feels like an involuntary alien probe. GAH.#FRUSTRATION AND JOY AND ANGER AND HOPELESSNESS AND ALL OF IT LIKE POCKETSAND IN YOUR EYES

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.
I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.
Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D
Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!
It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!
As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!
Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),
but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--
you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!
#replies#novella november#long rambly tags to follow lol#including anti royalist / anti billionaire shit#ominous october#this is what my novella november is going to be#something that WAS a huge earth-shattering fanfic AU#but before I even got past a WIP Oneshot I'd already realized that what I was planning was going to turn canon so far on its head it would#be unrecognizable and it would be much better off and more coherent if I made it entirely original#so now it is!#not only does this involve changing every single characters name#everyone is now a completely different species other than human because thats always fun#and of course we're also tackling all the issues that had annoyed me in omega verse fics since I was like 14 and liked the#creature aspects but hated the biological essentialism and misogny / caste systems#if your fantasy people have an enforced caste system you gotta actually treat that like the horror and systemic oppression it is#not just say 'biological = right' like dude what do you think people have been saying about real women this whole time????#people literally insist women are biologically inferior to men do you really think supporting that idea is going to make you sound#progressive just because your main character is a tomboy independant woman?#also like she lost all her independence as soon as she found a man to marry so uhhhhh#what happened to being ready and willing to hit the bricks if people kept talking down to you and condescending you for being a woman????#why did you go from independant badass tomboy to fainting damsel who spends all her time worrying about failing to produce an heir#so her husband can take power#instead of just straight up telling your husband#'hey I don't want to deal with the bullshit from your father how about we do the-#- socially acceptable thing and just go off to make our own independant settlement with some of the villagers who are on your side'#like your husband would literally be escstatic about this idea of finally getting out from under his dad's tyrannical thumb#and its more like way more than half the villagers would go with you not just a handful#theyve been sick of the kings shit for years and only your husband's potential rise to rule kept them in check#cus he actually cares about the villagers and goes among them#while still clearly having some biases to work through when it comes to class and gender equality

welp that's a wrap for this year ig. it's funny i think this year would have been another oops all trigun except that whenever i got really super busy FAR too busy to make trigun art i did usually end up doodling something else lmao
december's spot is @stardvst-diving's lysithea :)
#art summary#2023 summary of art#2023 art summary#txt#honestly. i think this is the first year in a long time where i really don't feel that happy with the progress i've made with my art#like in 2020 i finally got comfortable with drawing digitally after SO MANY YEARS of chipping away at it#and 2021 i finally pinned down some stylistic choices i enjoy working with and figured out how to color#and 2022 i mostly just pushed the limits of what ''finishing'' art even looks like for me#since in the past i'd tend to leave everything pretty half baked#2023 was SUPPOSED to be the year i started into things like comics and composition and increasing dynamism#but i think mostly i just ended up hammering out more stuff in regards to color and line confidence#which are both good. i'm glad i made that progress#but it's a little disappointing i didn't finish the year with the specific takeaways i'd gone into it wanting to have#sighhhhhh maybe next year idk

sorry for the weird pauses this video is multiple recordings edited together. because im playing the switch version and screen recording on switch is kind of weird. but anyways. as promised heres that glitch i was talking about the other day. girl help they locked me out
#sonic frontiers#sonic frontiers spoilers#sonic frontiers the final horizon#this was really funny at the time but i probably would have been mad if this happened at wyvern or knight#because it was seemingly impossible to beat the boss like this and i had to start over#like its funny and no big deal when it happens at giganto because its just giganto.#its the first boss and ive basically mastered the art of beating it as quickly as possible. no big deal if i have to start over there#but with the other two its like. come on ive already made some progress here and youre doing this to me.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Nine Realms really should have been called How To Disrespect The Original Movies And Fuck Up Anything To Do With Hiccup because what the fuck-
#not only is this series just a waste of time because any progress made is reset at the end because the dragons go back#into hiding for more time because the world STILL isnt ready despite it being modern day now#but also the way the finale dragon is the world serpant who...was locked away by....hiccup....and has been for years#meaning hiccup locked a dragon up with zero ways to keep going#aka the total opposite of hiccup who never wanted to harm dragons#let alone didnt like imprisoning dragons#and this show really liked destroying family heirlooms i swear#as hiccups moms staff??? gets eaten by the world serpant#hiccups prosphetic leg that for some reasn is in the nine realms??? gets destroyed when the kids use it to stop a dragons mouth#also like hiccup has been back and forth in the realms so???? how???? because isnt he busy as chief and a family man#he seemed to only be fine making visits to toothless and his family with his own family#but not abandoning his family and people constantly for trips through the nine realms???

"...Best friends?"
"That's what I said. Why, do you not want to?"
Of course he wants to. But... "For how long?"
"Forever, dummy. Here." You grab for his hand, twining your little finger with his.
Bachira looks from his hand, to yours, to your face, waiting for your explanation.
"You and me will best friends forever. Pinky promise," you smile at him, eyes closing. A sign of trust he’s not sure he deserves. "Say it back, so I know you mean it."
Oh. Bachira blinks and a wide smile forms on his face, something clicking in his mind that sets the rest of his life into motion.
"Best friends forever."
#I made some progress today on a thing I’ve been working on in bits and pieces so#so I finally feel happy enough to share this little snippet of it :)#it’s for a sfw/dc platonic yandere Bachira >:)#bachira x reader#bllk x reader

Reading shit comics kind of sucks but at least I get the satisfaction of proving my own point w this
#like damn if i really was 100% right about this before i even knew what i was talking about#anyways one of the many many problems with new 52 wonder woman is the fact that diana isnt religious enough#also that azzarello and chiang are incapable of imagining a feminist utopia which is the original genre that wonder woman comics were based#in in the same way that batman for example is connected to the noir genre. and the mythological aspects of the og wonder woman comics were#in fact a common framing aspect of the feminist utopia genre of the progressive era (with many of the deeper greek mythology aspects being#established as the foremost ww genre later on)#anyways this failure to understand this layering of genres in the ww mythology i believe is the principle contributor of why this run which#is popular with many and has such a footprint in other more mainstream media is hated by so many longtime wonder woman fans in that it not#only neglects but actively goes against key parts of her premise#a comparison could be made to a superman run that is heavily based in science fiction and exploring deep sci fi genre plots without any#understanding by the creators of why it matters that superman is champion of the oppressed and disrespecting that core part of him by in#some ways making him actually go against that in service of the high sci fi genre plots and conflict#and then ofc to translate better in this reality this run would function like a can of worms in that while dc in comics would eventually#course correct back to the base version the public opinion would become divided and especially adaptations would need all the canon changes#from that run torn viciously out of their hands bc they refuse to LET IT GO#anyways yeah teehee i swore to someone id never read it but i needed it for fic research purposes unfortunately so i started it. only read 6#issues but meh. first one wasnt terrible tbh id read worse but after that i got much more unhappy#anyways they simply dont understand why people like the amazons or why people should like the amazons. which again is like half the freaking#point bc like. feminist utopia genre. but i digress#its bad but its bad in a way that proves me right about why its bad so at least theres that#someday when i post my rebirth ww fic ill post the analysis of nu52 ww and the comparison to the beat movement/ginsberg that ive got in my#drafts. finally get that A in comic book literary analysis#blah

hello would a wip be in store today 😏
welllll, since you asked, here's a lil bit from the cfdau nancy pov
-
So Nancy had learned better. She learned to sit up tall but keep her head bowed, to fold her hands in her lap and speak gently when she answered questions. She learned not to run, not to get in the way, not to be too curious or too loud, to be the best but not draw too much attention.
It had worked, too. The press adored her. Directors remembered her. Steve was head over heels for her after just two weeks of rehearsals, and the reporters ate up their relationship. Nancy still squirms when she thinks about the photos of her and Steve holding hands at stage door.
But Robin doesn’t do any of those things. She isn’t proper or patient. She speaks loudly and laughs louder. She sits in a way that takes up the whole chair. She lets herself be clumsy and casual and snarky and wrong, sometimes, and people adore her anyway.
#ronance#celebrity fake dating au#i have finally made some form of actual writing progress with this fic#and i am very very sleepy and cannot keep going tonight#but DAMN do i want to because i'm falling in love with this au all over again#asks#anon#excerpts
