Happy 3rd Anniversary to Advice

[moeblob]

So it occurs to me that I posted most of their lore on my OC blog (though a few posts on here have the story info) and honestly I think it's very important to note that the entire reason a guy from Florida is recruited to help defeat the demon lord isn't him as the hero. His younger brother (by about ten years younger) is the Chosen Hero and... not very good at it. So the goddess (Solei) who had selected the hero has to begrudgingly go back to earth and convince his older brother to help save her world.

(Also Reynold admits to Solei that "Sascha could never be a bad influence. He's the best impulse control I've ever had" and she really doesn't like to hear it. That's terrifying.)

With the recently announced Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX, I figured there's no time like the present to bring an old favorite back into the spotlight... hey, Yacht Club Games! How about another character to play through the first campaign as? I have just the girl for the job...

Making her first appearance on this blog since 2020, witness the return of the Fated Acolyte, now sporting a brand-new look! 💜🖤💜🖤💜

What is the most challenging thing when drawing characters realistically? Also who would you say is/would be difficult to draw

The most challenging thing when drawing stylized characters realistically is being able to put a piece together so it looks convincing. Adding details and such is fine, you can go pretty far just with the right brush, but having it all come together to make something that at first glance looks like an actual photo, and it still looks like the character; that's very difficult. Stuff like lighting, colors, setting, character's expression, and obviously the characters design. It all has to go together.

And in terms of who's hard to draw and who's not, Miguel is super hard to draw ngl, but that's just me. In general though, characters with a lot of hair that needs to be realistically rendered and be in the right lighting and such; my god. That is INSANELY difficult (Hobie Brown, lmao). Also, if a character is too stylized, to the point where their design can't be directly translated to realism, that's super difficult to work with as well, if not impossible. You end up having to change so much about their icon design that it can end up not even resembling them at all. Like, for instance, how would you draw a realistic Mickey Mouse?...

I don't think I've had an easy time drawing anyone really, but again, characters that are closer to realism in their design/proportions (like, Spiderverse or Arcane) are much easier to draw than anything cartoony. But thank you so much for the ask, I hope this answered everything! 😊

I just saw a post where someone "read the plot of rwby9 and it's bad and rwby fans are delusional" bitch, you haven't even watched it, of course it sounds insane out of context

If you really want to say something is bad at least have the decency to watch it first

hate how any valid criticism of femininity is acceptably offset by some numbskull pointing out how skillful it is to perform said femininity, when in fact it should be noted that going so far as to endure and practice a skill for the sake of beauty is the female socialization that these ‘‘feminists’’ supposedly understand lol like it goes over their heads

Like no.

your dedication to achieve the perfect winged eyeshadow is not feminist just because it required skill. femininity is a set of behaviors after all.

Origins of The Secret Portal (my WIP series)

This is a fun story strap in!

When I was in fourth grade, we had a creative writing project that had to be a fictional story told in a first person perspective. I was ecstatic! I already loved writing, and was looking forward to this assignment.

As a little kid I really really liked fairies, and I was obsessed with Daisy Meadow's Rainbow Magic series, so I at first thought about writing about two girls who learned they were fairies. However, I was TEN and that's Too Old To Like Fairies (sigh) so I changed it to write about two girls who discovered they had powers.

The story followed Alexia Redinés and Aurora Flité, two 10-year-old best friends who discovered a portal in the middle of their school lawn. On the other side they found themselves in a realm of clouds, populated by people with powers.

They encounter a family there; a couple called Lizzy and Ted Majg, with their grandkids, Carly and George.

Soon, an evil sorcerer called Warlock LV (as in, Warlock the fifty-fifth) threatened to kill them all if they didn't give him a metal detector. Alexia conveniently had one on her, but didn't give it to him out of fear he would find and destroy the portal (which was made of metal), their only way back home.

It's here where everyone's powers are revealed.

Alexia - teleportation

Aurora - telepathy

Lizzy - X-ray vision

Ted - superhearing

George - super strength

Carly - the ability to write with writing utensils with her mind

...yeah idk what the hell I was thinking with Carly. Rest in peace knowing she has justice in later drafts.

They all use their powers to defeat Warlock LV yay.

I called my story The Secret Portal, and it has stayed the same ever since because frankly I haven't come up with anything better.

So I was OBSESSED with this idea, and I've obviously never given it up. Over the years it has evolved greatly, and I will keep things updated.

Ok look not to sound insane but I found an extended clip of Maggie dancing (there was no source, it was on tiktok lol the person just said it’s from a documentary) and ???????? Her port de bras????????? I have no idea what kind of dancing she was supposed to be doing but there was a moment where she did this kind of arms in the second position situation and it’s so light??????????

(This is not the exact moment lmao it comes a few seconds later, but idk how to crosspost from tiktok since I don’t have the app)
