Were you someone who was or is fond of reading books, growing up ? Because you're so excellent at writing. Like, nowadays its so difficult to find any book with half the narrative structure or interest your writing has. Feels like you were someone who liked hunger games at some point.
no yeah you read me and my preteen hunger games obsession like a book T-T admittedly tho, i am kind of currently in a reading slump not for lack of trying, but just because,,, i feel like a lot of recent horror/thriller/mystery stuff has been kind of preachy, lately? idk how to explain it, but i feel like darker genres feel the need to come with some greater life lesson they can serve up to the reader on a silver platter within the first hundred pages which very much goes against my 'tell your silly little story and i'll decide how it's changed me as a person later' mentality to fiction. i will resist the temptation and forgo posting a detailed list of all the books that have been added to my DNF list in the past month and their many issues but know that it is exhaustive.
#is you ARE looking for more recent/less mainstream books that i take a lot of my writing cues from#i could not recommend the author darcy coates highly enough#specifical her survival horror stuff#even MORE specifically Hunted and Dead of Winter#maybe even Craven Manor if you're good with a supernatural element#or fuck it#go back to the classics#read rosemary's baby#there's a sex scene that involves both first lady jackie kennedy and the devil (from the bible)#and that's what it takes to be REAL literature#personal#anon ask

We have one more Saturday before Christmas hits. And I’m just saying. Smg4 has the funniest opportunity for a Christmas special.
#not to rush any comeback for him or anything#I’m just saying#if they did want to make a parody of a christmas classic#theres the perfect character for that#blinks bigly#hell it could just be a parody#let this play out in his little mind palace#my art#I am not putting more effort than necessary on a joke#I say as I go back and add minor shading#because I am a LIAR and cannot help my perfectionistic tendencies#smg4#smg4 mr puzzles#mr puzzles#smg4 leggy 2.0

reading Dracula has permanently altered my brain. i can never see count dracula as a generic character anymore. he isn't an ooky spooky horror monster he's the old bitch that imprisoned my boy johnny in his shitass castle and killed my beloved lucy and quincey. abraham van helsing isn't synonymous with badass monster hunters he's a 50-year-old dutch doctor who talks funny. i see things and think oh wow this is just like my favorite characters from my book that was written 126 years ago.
#count tagula#dracula#dracula daily#dracula spoilers#dracula daily spoilers#count dracula#lucy westenra#jonathan harker#quincey morris#abraham van helsing#classics#bram stoker#there is no dracula like *the* dracula and i can never go back#i can never think of dracula as just like. the generic vampire. no he's the original. the progenitor. he's the baddest bitch of them all#vulture chatter

Even MS Word has generative AI now. We can't get away from it, can we?
#imagine my surprise when I got an AI making suggestions on my text#thank god there are millions of books written before 2020#I genuinely believe most books produced in a year or so will have used some form of AI#back to the classics I go

Espio finger gun...
#espio the chameleon#sonic the hedgehog#classic sonic#sonic fanart#sonic series#fanart#sonic generations#making frowny characters smile with S ranks is always the best reward#him immediately going back to his frown is hilarious though#the contrast is so strong between his precious smile and his usual frown

oh yeah also jayvik are extremely orpheus and eurydice coded i don't make the rules
#arcane#arcane s2#arcane season 2#jayce talis#jayce arcane#viktor arcane#jayvik#jayce x viktor#you mightve guessed that ive been listening to the hadestown soundtrack again recently#but anyways. jayce going back over and over and failing in timeline after timeline in the hopes that maybe this time. maybe just this once#he'll succeed and get his partner back#viktor putting the whole of his faith and trust in jayce that jayce will come back for him even though he fails again and again#but still viktor cannot imagine not believing in jayce one more time#the way the entire universe hangs in the balance of their bond oh man#i feel like jayvik is beyond categorization they're like the peak of classical romance which is not necessarily kisses and dating etc#but like the purest form of intimacy and affection. or something#i should write a fic abt this#anyways . idk . im a big fan of meljayvik so mel fits in here SOMEWHERE i just havent figured it out yet#if you made it to the bottom of this wall of tags here's a pie 🥧

#art#my art#digital art#doodle#undertale#sans#sans undertale#classic sans#thinking about what it must've been like to learn that#everything you've ever known is turned on its head but nothing changes#you go about your day and everything is normal but you KNOW something now you know something you would've been better off not knowing#timelines jumping all over the place stopping and starting#what if thats you? what if its your timeline next?#how many yous have been bought back to zero without knowing?#how many times has it happened to you?#you get up and you make your brother oatmeal for breakfast and you think “whats the point?”#sorry just having a long think about silly skeleton man you know how it is

Good skeles, like you lots (Patreon)
#Doodles#Handplates#UT#Sans#Papyrus#Gaster#Finally a set mostly featuring the brothers! Yay!#I love their dynamic so muuuuch and they're both so cuuuuuute ahhhhhhh <3 <3#I made that first one based on some half-remembered doodles from my Very First time around drawing UT characters - going way back!#I never posted any of them - I do actually have some studies from back then from various artists including Zarla haha ♪#And I think the original sketches for the pixel bouncies I made of them? :0 There's a lot of good stuff back there! Been a while tho lol#Really tho I've just kinda been on a big-eyes-and-swirly-cheeks kick lately haha ♪ They suit it so well! Especially Sans#Very fun to put down strong lines about ♫#Hugging <3 Always hugging <3 <3#I'm really pleased with their hands there actually haha - Papyrus pulling Sans in and Sans' hand on his ribs not pushing just a little space#They're so cute <3 Even some of my first doodles of them were them giving little donk-pecks on their cheek or forehead#Y'know - since they don't have lips lol#Also probably not a shock but I've pulled out my own colour cube(s) to play with out of inspiration lol#I am So out of practice lol#Sleeping on each other - it is The Classic! I love Papyrus' little paw thing with his plated hand while he sleeps haha#I personally really like the inverted Soul look on Monsters but in Handplates they're right side up! What do!#There must be a happy medium to strike somewhere hmmm#Just put them sideways and upset Everyone lol#A silly little set with Gaster of the two ''flying'' - does that activity actually have a name? :0 I don't know it#Gaster is not about to have them playing anything that could end up with 1-s falling though - not that he'll listen lol#''Because I told you to!'' Lol#And finally trying on clothes in their house! Papyrus is getting weird vibes off this shirt with how it ties in the back and hangs loosely#I'm pretty sure? I've been drawing him with his scar but it can hard to tell even looking at it myself lol#I'm not exactly careful with the delineation of his neck bones so the line can get lost#Needs a shirt that will compliment a scarf or a cape for sure
