tips for traditional artists (mostly painters)

so while i primarily post doodles and such on this blog, my true passion is traditional art. :) i see a lot of tips for digital artists but rarely for traditional ones, so this is just my own experience (before anyone goes like "oP tHaT iS nOt UnIvErSaL eXpErIenCe" (i know this site well enough lol) if the advice doesnt sit well with you feel free to ignore it because i am def not an end it know it all. and nobody is because art is so broad and there is no right way to do it.

EQUIPMENT

so, first of all, in my language we have a saying "the tools dont make a master", meaning a true master could create with anything. i mean, sure, to a point, tools wont replace your ability to conceptualize art, but cmon.

equipment matters, especially when painting. i mostly work with acryllics and markers. lets talk about acryllics.

paints

its important to get at least okay quality paints. the stuff i use is not insanely expensive - croatia has limited offers, and i am poor. however, i tried paints for like 1€ from tedi and they are far inferior to goya's paints i use (3-4€ cca per 100ml. and those 100ml are going to last you a very looong time if you work on small scale paintings, and i even managed to fit in large ones).

ESPECIALLY THE WHITE PAINT. i cannot stress this enough. if youre gonna buy cheaply, buy everything cheap except for the white. make sure the white is good. it will serve as a thickener for other colours and good white can even do a good job of covering up the black paint.

brushes: get good brushes. if you paint frequently with bad brushes (like the ones i get from muller; they seem fine but ehhh im constantly changing them) you will be spending more in longer run than you would if you invested in something better. im not talking about 100€ packs made of donkey tail strands or whatever, i mean normal brushes, but look at reviews a bit. i once ordered like 10€ pack of brushes from amazon and they performed muller ones by far (and were cheaper); they left thicker paint and didnt get ruined after five uses.

markers

now see, i dont have any advice here, but i wanted to contrast it with my previous talk about how i purposefully buy good paint. well, i purposefully buy bad markers. really bad ones. because equipment often depends on what style you are after. i use flomasters, and they do what i want: and thats a cheap and trashy look.

canvases and papers

if youre gonna invest into something, invest into paints rather than canvases. you can trick a bad canvas by putting on multiple colour layers, you cant trick bad paints. but there are differences to bad and good canvases, of course. however, if youre just starting out, just go get a bad one; i take most of mine from tedi, or order online. you dont gotta spend billion of euros on them.

paper is also important. i am a painter and i bought a Leuchtturm1917 though unfit one, and was annoyed as to why everyone thought it was great. then i bought the one with specific sketchbook paper and it works fantastic. if youre painting, you need appropriate paper.

learn colour theory and some art history

yes i know this sounds boring. but its not. draw inspiration from your predecessors. there are people making oil paintings of modern things. you heard "dont shade with black" (and thats my personal mantra too) but chiaroscuro was a valid art movement. if you take a look at my own art you will most likely say: oh, thats pop art! and you would be right. i am inspired by roy lichtenstein, andy warhol, and other pop artists. but thats just the surface. my use of colour is inspired by the impressionist takes on it; i dont shade with darker colours, i shade with different ones. i shade red with blue, yellow with purple or red, and so on. if you look at the topics and subjects of my art, you will find surrealism. if you look at my approach to art itself, you might find influences of croatian naive. learn about actual philosophies behind art movements you like; you might find something for you.

ok these are just some general thoughts i had, id probably have more lol but thats it for now

[amielot]

as per a previous post, your shape language in your art is stellar! any way you could share how you learned to draw or do you have any inspiration for your style? I'm looking to get into digital art but dont know how/where to start

oh boy so first off I hardly consider myself an expert . but I do have some weird tricks that I learned to make drawing people/stuff easier. take these w a grain of salt.

most of the time I'm designing and and pushing gesture more than I am trying for perfect anatomy and will break a LOT of anatomy rules for a nice sweeping line of action lol. I figure out the very basic anatomical shapes in the body, and then I stylize those parts. I also figure out where certain "landmarks" are on the body ( collarbone, scapula, trapezius, bottom of ribcage ect) and I indicate those landmarks with a little bit of construction line.

I get inspired by a LOT of people, emiliodekure (on instagram), Johane Matte, The Etherington Brothers, Grace Liu, and Krossan are some!

My advice for digital art is definitely get a drawing tablet. I got a cintiq off of a guy on Craigslist back in 2016 (the kind with a screen). but non-screen tablets will also do the job very well and some artists prefer them. And the non-screen tablets are MUCH more affordable. There are also many MANY good art programs nowadays to choose from, clip studio paint is a good option I can think of off the top of my head. Def do your own research. Decide what is right for you.

and my other advice is you have to draw a LOT. Draw EVERYDAY. Not just on digital, but physically in sketchbooks too, do figure drawing, gesture drawing, focus on line of action, where your subject is putting most of their weight, think abt sillouette, building your foundational skills is essential.

that's it, that's all I can think off at the moment. I hope this helps lol!

[throwing-in-the-towel]

hi chicago anon here again, i was lurking in your outsiders tour tag and have a few thoughts/info dump:

yes, tours (at least in chicago) stage door. i’ve been to the stage doors for our three big theatres (nederlander, CIBC, and cadillac) i assume it’s similar to bway. sometimes everyone comes out, sometimes only three people come out. there’s so many factors (and also, sometimes, it’s just cold. i met the cast of the lightning thief in the snow.) i think they accept gifts? probably varies by actor. (but also, and this goes for any show, sometimes an actor will come out bc they have something they need to do i.e. get lunch on a two show day, but they won’t stop to meet with anyone, please don’t chase them down. i watched people do this to sean grandillo in oklahoma!)

most shows sell merch (unless they’re pre-broadway, which, chicago sees a lot of, but seeing as the outsiders is established w/ merch, we’ll probably see the same things. potentially more! every show i’ve been to pretty much has exactly what you’d see on playbill or the show’s own merch site. if it says sold out online, it’s probably also sold out on tour. i just ran into this.)

broadway cast members typically don’t go on tour. your best bet of seeing your fav bway star somewhere other than NY is in a pre-bway show. megan hilty was just in chicago for death becomes her. stephanie j. block opened the cher show here, etc.

that being said, tour members will move to bway as needed!! it’s always nice to see people get their bway debuts! (i’ve also seen people move from tour to the west-end!)

and actually, i lied, there’s one swing that comes to mind that did start on bway and then he moved to the previous mormon national tour to swing/dance captain, and i think there was someone in oklahoma! that also made the move from bway to tour, but nobody else is coming to mind atm… OR, sometimes someone will be on bway for one show, and then join a tour for another.

also, the show is doing really well. mormon, wicked, bttf, etc. currently have shows on bway and tour (and think about how long mormon and wicked have run). i’ve seen shows play on bway, the west end, in australia, and run a national tour, and a european tours all at the same time. i think the outsiders has the potential to do the same!

last thought, i saw someone ask about the rumble on tour… my hope is they can make it work. some theatres may be able to accommodate and some may not. i think for chicago, seeing as they’d planned to do the pre-bway show here, they can probably accommodate the rumble here, as for other venues. i have no idea. (was the rumble as is in la jolla?)

sorry for the rant!

no dont apologize this is all awesome info to have and share!!!

if you are interested in the tour production, def read this post!!!

[signs-of-blossoming]

hiii :3

🎀 — do you have any matching clothes with them? If so, what does it look like?

🌱 — how do you make up with each other after an argument?

🎈— what is your most precious memory with them?

🎀 - in my heart. all the fun outfits screenshots i post from lily diary are matching... to me... but since u ask. a brand new matching set of fits! beach date edition!!!

🌱 - going to focus on madara for this one, since... i dont think ive talked about it much with ppl who arent shay but arisu and mama def have some relationship problems bc they still cant be fully emotionally vulnerable with each other. arisu is the type to just ignore their previous grievances and start acting like nothing was wrong in the first place after a bit (if they care about a person, that is) and i see madara as a guy who'd go to apologize first for the sake of restoring peace with them

🎈 - its really hard to pick, huh :3c for madara, it will be the first time he stayed over (im slooowly writing a short fic about it which i prommy ill finish soon... im tryying... theres more to it but i dont want to spoil QwQ).

as for tattsun,,, at one point he took arisu to his family church since they expressed interest, and it really felt like a. signifier of emotional closeness uknow >////<

[skuntank]

On the topic of Palmer being the previous Sinnoh champion, I’ve always wondered what Bertha’s deal is. She’s clearly a veteran Trainer, has likely been in the League since the beginning of Palmer’s time as Champion if not earlier, and could potentially have been a mentor/inspiration figure for Cynthia, but we never really get anything about her from D/P or Masters aside from her being a Wise Old Lady. Got any headcanon thoughts about her?

hmm aside what i already posted this morning, lemme think ,...

i mean, the connection between her and agatha is pretty much accepted fanon at this point and im totally on board with it. i def see them as sisters. probably more in the direction of them being friendly rivals when they were younger, but eventually their paths and approaches to battling started to go in different directions so the whole rival thing kinda fell off but they still have a good relationship.

both of them are those old grandmas that everyone holds in high regards and you know you Do Not Fuck With. with agatha its def more overt and she enjoys being a rough ol' biddy but bertha is much more down to earth (lol) and seemingly gentler.

she's never been the type to go out of her way looking for trouble like agatha is, but if trouble comes looking for her, it better watch the fuck out lmao.

i just really enjoy her as like a sinnoh league staple who has been around for ages and ages and has seen the league go through more stuff than anyone else has and knows all the rules and restrictions like the back of her hand and therefore also knows exactly which ones can be ignored and which ones can be bent and she has probably mentored and advised more young trainers than she can remember, and she probably gets periodic visits from some who come to check in and tell her how their life is going.

i think she enjoys her life very much and if you were to sit down with her and have a conversation she'd be very good at making you feel very special and listened to.

i see her being one of those universally loved and respected figures somewhat like betty white was, so it rattles the league to its core when she does eventually die (i dont see her ever retiring. she is on the sinnoh E4 till her last day by jove) and a lot of other leagues from other regions send their condolences and such bc i see her having touched a lot of peoples hearts not just within sinnoh and there is probably a week or so that the sinnoh league closes for mourning

ths is still pretty "wise old lady" lol sorry

DMD FTR: finale thoughts

i forgot to put this out because i've been in the process of being an employed adult human person these days, unfortunately (no one who saw my previous DMD FTR posts is surprised that i was unemployed). now i wont even get to have my weekly crisply shot and edited hang outs w Gen 3 besties while this new job is sucking my soul... but this was a pleasant finale to this sweet and chill and incredibly unsurprising show!

here's the thing: i dont even know who Domundi is trying to fool w this double win stuff cause they did literally announce the new gen would be acting in TWO (2) new series during their 2023 Line Up event???????

so the double win wasn't a surprise AT ALL but it's okay, it didnt really diminish my enjoyment out of the show at all. i wanted both couples to have series anyway!

as i've said in my first post about this show, it has been very obvious that this shows' intention isn't to be a competition, it's more of a new gen "inauguration". they could've just put the boys through bunch of workshops and let them choose partners off camera too but they chose to put money and time in to make it a whole show, so people could witness their journey and premature fan clubs would form and develop. i think its fun and clever marketing but did it work???

well, the boys def have more fans now BUT on the same day this episode was premiering, some ZNN fans were crying about their faves (who just had a movie come out, also filming a show rn AND scheduled to film another one after) being slighted by the company and they didn't need to "add more". like i said, i don't really follow Domundi closely, if the fans are right about artist management i might not know... but their Gen 2 was extremely successful after all and people are BEGGING for more series, so it's not a bad move for a company to want to grow. i wish fans would be more mature and learn more the industry the person they "stan" works in! why would a growing company would just make shows w 2 actors over and over man, cmon 😭

okay now that i got that out of me, back to the finale. some notes about the general:

the group performance of the theme song was a bit cringe to me bc i just hate that kind of music. but everyone's ending fairies were really cuteeeee so i forgive them

real winners of the episode is the background dancers because they literally did all the performances and acted too, very well!!

Domundi members and variety of industry people in the audience was sweet to see and added valuable comments/advice for the boys. i was especially happy to see Jimmy and Tommy, whom i ADORE!!!!

i was laughing at that LOUD ASS clapping and hollering track they kept playing to add some more noise to the audience's. like i know why they did it but how much that big sound didn't match w that small crowd just tickled me..

well, yeah, i cant get into idol-ing stuff personally so i was kind of bored during the solo performances. i dont really have comments that hasn't already been said by the judges. i thought all the boys did what they were supposed to do and showcased their talents, EXCEPT Latte........ my dude, what happened? i think he could've lip sync to the song, which IS a skill (Rupaul's Drag Race battles and just drag performances in general as evidence...) that would add a lot to his performance.

Firstone leaving the competition w Best Friendship & Best Performance Awards in his pocket and two guys wanting to be his partner. What a little star... Deserved and love his cocky attitude.

about couple jukebox musicals:

in my last episode commentary, i joked about Mandee getting inspired from my ideas but then they actually kinda happened lol🧐🧐🧐🧐 ThomasKong's performance was a coming of age, young love story while KengNamping's story was more complex romance w an angsty core, almost exactly like i wished for.

all in all, KengNamping's performance grabbed my attention the most. mostly because their acting & chemistry seemed improved to me (that kiss fake out at the end, what the hell??? you guys couldn't hold an eye contact couple eps ago...) AND their storyline just ATEEEE. i dont know who came up w the forbidden romance between kinda out of touch but well meaning rich boy & his "i suffer through love quietly" village boy bodyguard, w humour sprinkled in, but they need to get their ass eaten regularly...

ThomasKong don't even need to try that hard, they are just natural born charmers!!!! i liked their friends to lovers, nerdy guy cant believe popular one' love bc he doesnt see his value storyline (Thomas could've busted out One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful"). With the romantic prom climax, it reminded me of American high school movies and fit their vibes perfectly. i wish it was more humorous, because i think comedy is one of their strong suits. like how did it ended up that shy kings KengNamping got more laughs than ThomasKong, the goofballs themselves??? whoever is writing their series, please take notes, now that i know you are reading these...

after the glorious double win and the cute four-way hug, Aof said that two shows would be announced this year which clearly meant that most we are getting this year are pilot trailers. which is fine. not easy to be patient but i get that they are a smaller company w lots on their plates already. i hope they will use that time to work and work and work on the shows!!!!

i honestly want Domundi to kind of change up things in their filmmaking/producing styles, maybe switch directors sometimes and try diffferent styles idk... this show and Gen 3 in general felt very refreshing and i hope they keep that vibe going! and maybe i will finally watch a Domundi show till the last episode.

P.S.: Extra clips were released this week and KengNamping's was sweet. i was kinda laughing at how much of a set up it was like, them conveniently sharing a blanket, all mic'd up, getting filmed w lights on etc. but their conversation and mood in the moment seemed sincere, which is enough. it was nice to see the context for ep 5, when they found each other at the other end of the red ribbon and said that so much happened on that bridge. what a perfect circle moment, from comforting each other about not winning a challenge to winning the show!

[troythings]

rating donna troy costumes part 2

this one i actually like from a design perspective. the continuity in it. it works as a good successor to the previous troia one, like donna getting her second wind. the starfield stopping below the belt and allowing for regular black is really cool and distinctive design wise, idk why dc never stuck with it but EH. also the choker with her wg logo is cool too, i like the interpretations where its within a circle instead of being a simple fkin pendant.

my only complaints are. ditch that deep V-neck oh my fking god. fuck. i get its part of the wg silhouette but her BOOBS are gonna fall out. aaron lopresti has a rly good interpretation where the v-neck ends above the bust. the upper armbands can go, they’re not bringing anything besides more metal. also the heels in the og issue could go too. like it can be fixed to be functional and still have the same silhouette and ppl wouldn’t notice anything 10/10.

THIS ARMOR GOES SO HARD. ESPECIALLY WHEN PAIRED NEXT TO DIANA’S ARMOR, THE SILVER/GOLD CONTRAST AAAAA. i like how donna has her own distinctive helmet design and her wings/crest logo are abit more pointy than diana’s and cassie’s. also that it’s not just silver, it has the black-starfield in it. the boots looking like diana’s is p cool and it could be a stylistic choice

but like. functionally this has some fkin issues. donna’s wings are on the back instead of attached to the shoulderguards like diana’s are, so they’re kinda just chilling there and prob impeding a lot of donna’s movement like. i think they’re static. also donna’s shoulderguards. i dont think mf can walk through a door with those. maybe make them smaller so they dont hit things??? or angle them down idfk. that and the wings are gonna like fucking hit each other when she’s in battle. 3/10

okay so this actually appeared in the world war iii event, which explains why donna is wearing armor that looks kinda ceremonial, it’s for war and serious stuff. previously in 52 she wore diana’s actual uniform for like 1 panel. in the ww run she didn’t switch back to it. i think it like says something that it’s not wartime but she’s still dressed in a armor/skirt combo and carrying around a sword?? anywho like. it’s rly good, i like the silver against the gold. it’s cool overall except for some fking glaring stuffs

NO CAPES. GAHHHHHH NO FUCKING CAPES. NO CAPES!!! the black armbands with the starfield are an ok reference to her last uniform but they clash with everything else, take them out. the boots aren’t heeled so that’s good and the bodice is connected to the shoulderguards. and lose the elbow guards. like wtf. donna doesn’t fucking need those??? also she def needs like, briefs under that skirt. 2/10

to be continued in the final shitty post

[hiraya-rawr]

thinking abt the inazuma quests and i think traveller’s reluctance to help during the vision hunt decree is bc before they went to inazuma there was the “we will be reunited” quest where the abyss sibling told them not to find them until their journey’s over, even though the traveller was so willing to drop teyvat and leave with their abyss sibling that very second. i think that encounter rattled them so much that they became more laser focused in just getting to the end goal and not the journey itself (something yoimiya commented on when she said that the traveller looked tired lately)

also also!! i believe it was brought up that bc the vision hunt decree only affected a small percentage of the population, it was hard to drum up support from the average person about something that didnt affect them which is why the state of inazuma got so bad (at least thats my interpretation)

im also an Ayaka Defender bc i will die on the hill that she was NOT a manipulative person and there was only so much that she could do as a person of her position bc outright defying the shogun would have tanked the yashiro commission/kamisato clan’s reputation and put them in danger. also i think she def would have let the traveller go if they still declined to help even after seeing the effects of the vision hunt decree (but then at that point there would be no story also very callous on traveller’s part bc as previous anon mentioned, they also have friends who are vision holders)

agdjshdlhdjs im so sorry abt the long message!! i have a lot of feelings abt the inazuma archon quests and while i do admit there are flaws in the writing, i think a lot of ppl dont realize how complex of a situation being entrenched in politics and war can be. anyways ty for reading my brainrot and i hope u have a good day 💕

this is so well said!! especially ayaka's part. the traveller was one of the only people she could think of to help and she did what she can to get them to help, not that she manipulated them—

and i totally agree! inazuma made me feel things and i actually made a whole rant about it back then, i remember not posting it because it was breaching sensitive topics on politics and puppet democracy things 😅 i think hoyoverse did well to compress such a turbulent scenario into a short archon quest. this was a whole war with different sides we were suddenly in and just wow

anyway i wouldnt want to make this any longer but thank you for sending in your thoughts <33 you summarized what i hoped to say aaaah

[n04hfiction]

hello:)! this is for the shipping post :D! i hope u have a good rest of ur day !! My name is genesis, but my friends call me gen 😽!! I am mexican American and my mother tongue is spanish:). I am the youngest out of 5 kids.

4 my physical appearance : I have straight brown hair, big green eyes, pale skin,and a shit ton of freckles! I also wear glasses. I have curtain bangs as well👍🏻. I do have muscles but its the most visible on my arms tho 😽 i am 5’1 .

4 my style: Most of my clothes are hand me downs from my siblings🤧 so i dont really know. I usually wear at my house is a tank top and some men shorts. When i’m going out i wear cargo pants/jeans/shorts and a random t-shirt/tank top. When its cold i wear my brothers clothes 😭😭Like some black jeans , a random hoodie , and a puffer jacket and a beanie. When i have special events i wear 2000s type dresses and a pair of my sisters heels. My friends say my aesthetic is kinda of the spiderman in the spider verse? Yeah kinda like that so idk 🤷‍♀️. But i have a pair of green nikey shoes my mom gave me. And those were the first shoes my mom gave me that were new 😭😭so those r the shoes i wear. I wear a gold dog pendant (like the rectangle ones) That has the date of when my dad passed away. I wear that all the time c: 

4 hobbies : I LOVE DRVING SO MUCH :DD !! I saved moved a lot of money and after a few pay checks from working, I got my first car 😸!! I love listening to music! Tupac,kaili uchis, winsin y yandel, joji, steve lacy are my current favs <3. I like drawing once in a while 2 :]. But driving is so much fun i luv it

4 personality : I am a pisces and extroverted! My friend says i’m kind and funny. My mom said that i am a “young dumb person with a smart mind and a lot like ur dad”😟. My 2 sisters say that i’m a “very forgiving person, and playful, but I need to think abt stuff more instead of being impulsive.” My 2 brother says that i’m “funny , smart, loyal but u have a temper”. My love language is quality time and acts of service :). Also being annoying 😭 like if i hug someone , i am gonna tickle them until it hurts, or if ur taking a nap , im gonna come in and blast daddy yankee and wake u up, Or ur sitting on the couch , i’ll go sit in ur lap and get comfy 🤧🤧

i ship you with sapnap!!

sapnap will take your glasses and either hide them or put them on his face and refuse to take them off XD he lowkey loves doing it, especially if you can’t see that well without them, cuz he’s a little shit most of the time, but it’s all in good fun

he also loves that your style is just a mix of your siblings hand-me-downs, because he loves to throw his clothes at you and saying, “here, hand-me-downs” he also loves buying matching clothes as well as sharing clothes. sometimes when going through your closet he’ll find a bunch of clothes he forgot he gave to you XD

and in one of my previous sapnap posts i mentioned that sapnap is a passenger princess who loves to scream to his fav songs as loud as possible xD so that definitely applies. your guy’s drives are usually late night ones. so i can imagine when the windows are rolled down and it’s hella late he’ll scream his favorite songs pretty obnoxiously lmfao some bystanders get kind of annoyed lmfao

he loves your kind and cherishing personality, but he thinks your (supposed) temper is funny XD he does enjoy teasing you for it ajsjsjnsns

and he is def the kind of person who loves to exist separately if that makes sense, like be in the same room doing different tasks, and he loves doing simply things for you. especially cooking

[rollercoasterwords]

hi i would like to rant to u if thats okay because i saw ur rant u wrote like 6 days ago and it just kinda made me think so i hope u don't mind.

i love writing. i always have and when im writing i always get excited, except then i started posting on the internet. at first i got some attention which actually pushed me to write more and then i wrote this fanfic that blew up and got a lot of attention which dont get me wrong was GREAT like im proud of it, but it also changed my perception of writing

all of a sudden this silly little thing i wrote was now something people were talking about with their friends and reccomending and that was great but it made me feel different about my own work. it changed how i percieved writing, and more often than not i catch myself writing for them, not for me.

recently i started writing this fic that made me giggle and kick my feet while writing it. i wrote it SO fast because i could not get enough of it, and then i started publishing and it didn't get much attention. i've had other fics that didnt get attention before and it was like meh, but after the work i wrote that blew up, it felt like my fics NEEDED to become popular to be good, which is like,,, shit

and whenever i posted a chapter of my new fic or talked about it, i'd get comments on my fic asking about my popular one, if i'll make a second one ect.

it made me lose interest in my story because i'd gotton hooked on others approval and i didn't want to write something they weren't interested in, because then they wouldn't read it and it would all be for nothing.

i forgot the original reason i started writing. for me. and its been so hard to try and just get back into that headspace of writing for me and not others because of the attention i'd gotton from my previous stories.like how i felt now that i had a fair few followers i owed them stories THEY wanted to read.

i'm not sure how to get back into writing for myself, because i don't want to delete my works or stop posting, because i do enjoy it when people say nice things and help my motivation, but at the same time it also makes me feel like i have to write what they want and not what i want, because if i write it and they dont like it ive failed

anyway thats my little rant, i dont know if u even understand what im talking about but it was nice to get off my chest

thank you <3

no i feel u i can def relate 2 a lot of that experience! it can be a weird experience 2 have a fic go viral & it is definitely not always entirely positive. honestly think the only reason i've escaped a lot of the harassment + hate i've seen directed towards other people who have had fics go viral is that my fic that went viral was a rewrite of someone else's story, so most of the discourse remains centered around the original story + writer which honestly. feels like i managed 2 dodge a bullet lmao

but i can def relate 2 the sudden pressure of abruptly finding urself in a situation where tons of people are reading something u were just casually writing 4 fun, and suddenly feeling like u need 2 meet certain demands or live up 2 expectations. honestly feeling this pressure to keep up w those expectations led to some burnout 4 me last fall/winter, which is why i stopped posting for a few months. and like obviously i can't say what would be most helpful 4 u--that's something u kinda have 2 figure out 4 urself--but i do know that for myself + for some other writer friends who i've talked to, taking a break from posting can be really helpful in like...reframing ur mindset. i think getting some distance from the constant expectations + demands + feedback can help sort of clear the air and strips away both that pressure + that attention + sort of makes it easier 2 focus on writing just to write for urself. 4 me it helped me figure out that while i do love sharing my writing + getting nice comments + messages + talking 2 people abt it etc, that's just icing on the cake, and writing still brings me a lot of joy even without any attention. and once i was able to like...center that attitude + ground my writing in personal enjoyment rather than the online attention economy, it made me feel steadier abt coming back + posting again, and also helped get rid of some of the anxiety of meeting people's expectations, bc i realized that at the end of the day i genuinely don't really care if someone dislikes my story so much that they need to stop reading it; in fact, i think it's better for everyone involved if someone who feels like they're not getting what they want from my story goes and looks for what they want somewhere else! it's not a failure on my part to sufficiently like...entertain an audience or provide a product, because that's not what i'm trying to do in the first place, y'know? and i think that shift in mindset helped a lot, and continues to help when i start 2 feel that pressure again from posting my writing online. it's counterintuitive at first bc i think we're all sort of conditioned to think there's no point to making art unless you're making it for an audience, but once u realize that The Audience is not the be all end all of creating art, i think it makes the process of creation a lot more freeing + fun.

anyway hope u are able 2 navigate the weirdness that can come with sharing ur writing online + find a way 2 write that brings u the most joy!!

was tagged by @princesstokyomoon owo, thanks for taggin me :3

Rules: List your top 5 favorite shows and tag 5 people!

...can i just list yu yu hakusho 5 times LOL god i fucking love that anime so much ive been hyperfixated on ever since i first watched it a few years ago gkdbjfbf that said, biiig surprise what my number one is:

1. Yu Yu Hakusho ⭐️

THIS SHOW CHANGED MY BRAIN CHEMICALS. I CANT PROPERLY EXPRESS HOW MUCH I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING ADORE THIS CAST OF CHARACTERS. THAT LIL DUDE IN THE MIDDLE?? HIEI, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, I ADORE HIM SO MUCH, HES SUCH A WONDERFUL CUTE TSUNDERE BASTARD. literally the main cast is full of characters with "contradicting" traits that just work SO WELL in making them interesting and fun

kuwabara (the one in blue) is a precious himbo, a very loud delinquent kid who loves to fight but has an honor code he will ALWAYS abide by and has a cute little kitten he adores!!!

yusuke (the one in green) is similarly a delinquent and, honestly, is more of an asshole LOL but he despite his rudeness he doesnt hesitate to put his life on the line for others!

hiei MY LOVE is The Edgy One and always acts like they rest in the group arent his friends but he always is there to help when hes needed and clearly worries for their safety ��� and he has a sister hes very sweet and protective over!!! and hes also just Full Of Trauma that i wont get into as more of his backstory is revealed later in the show. and hes just an absolute badass and really hot,,, (forces myself to move on or ill just ramble endlessly about him)

THEN theres hieis lover partner kurama (the red head, and my big kin!!!!), whos by far the sweetest of the 4, is a total mamas boy, BUT hes also a centuries old fox demon known for his thievery and cruelty and was changed when he was almost killed and had to transfer his soul into an unborn human child to stay alive, where his human mom's love changed him to be kinder :'3 (none of that is a spoiler really, this is info he literally states very soon after his introduction) but even though hes changed, hes still can be absolutely RUTHLESS to his enemies. even hiei states early on that he chose kurama as his partner because he wouldnt want him as an enemy

AHEM okay. thats enough rambling about my hyperfixation for now i think fhkzhfjd i probably wont be rambling much about the other ones i just really really REALLY love yyh

the rest arent really in any particular order, and imma put em under the cut!

2. My Hero Academia

i was biiig hyperfixated on this show for a while there, i just absolutely LOVE stories that explore the gray areas of things, so when this show gets into that sorta shit with the hero society its a BIG fave. plus the characters are really fun, todoroki is my fave hehe

3. She-ra (reboot)

another previous hyperfixation, i just really love these characters and honestly theyre so fun to ship in a big ol poly pile lol. tbh i miss being fixated on this one, i had sooo much fun with it ♡

4. Talentless Nana

this was a shorter hyperfixation, but MAN this show gave me EMOTIONS. i dont wanna say too much about it because i think its best to watch the first episode without knowing too much about it, but there is a BIG TWIST at the end of the first episode, and the "genre" of the show completely shifts for all of the episodes after it. if you like darker series, i def recommend this one :3 i just hope itll get more seasons!! but at least theres the manga to continue on with after the first season!

5. Avatar the Last Airbender

an absolute classic from my childhood ♡ itll always be one of my faves!! the characters, the story, the world, i love it so much !!! i still wish i could be a water or fire bender ^w^

honestly it feels weird not putting up a sonic show on here, but when i think about it i never was the biggest on the shows and have always been way more attached to the games canon. though sonic x is def still a classic from my childhood too owo

ah shit i was about to post this without tagging anyone i almost completely forgot HFKSHGK uhh ill tag @megalo-station @catfuyus @transgaykurama @mageofcolors @l-lawliets-pussy @yoko-kurama-the-sex-god (i did 1 over 5 bc im a rebel 😈 JFLZJF)

[pinkyjulien]

I've finished Dragon Age Veilguard and I have thoughts 🙋‍♂️ (Expect some spoilers)

First thing first; I'm one of those Dragon Age Origins enjoyer, I still think DA:O was THE peak- it might be the nostalgia, it might be because it was my first step in Thedas, but Veilguard did not top it for me. WITH THAT SAID THO -

I had an amazing time with it! I did not 100% complete it, and it took me 87hours to finish

Veilguard felt, to me, like a direct successor of DA2 in both gameplay and "spirit"

The gameplay took me some time to get used to, but it was really fun; it has some flaws, the combat is really dynamic but then you'd get hit and need to press dodge to get back on your feet and it kills the rythm a bit (might be a me/skill issue deadass)

The visuals grew on me, I was a bit taken aback from the cartoonish style at first but I ended up loving it a LOT actually, its really charming. The characters are gorgeous, the environements breathtakin- Especially the lights, made me pause in awe a lot of time. AND THE HAIRS! I'm really curious to see how they're done ngl, I kinda wanna get my hands in the game's belly cause I'm curious 👀

The music was also amazing, I'm kind of mad at myself for not turning down the sound effects volume earlier cause I missed a tons of amazing tracks during combats and explorations, everything else was louder and I couldn't appreciate it correctly

As I mentioned in a previous post, this is the first Dragon Age game where I genuinely enjoy ALL of the companions; I have preferences of course, but every single one of them was interesting. I got invested in each storylines, shed tears alongside them, got surprised by some twist. The Veilguard is an amazing crew and def some of Bioware's best imo!

Now, I think my biggest issue with the game is the general Tone Everything is repeated and over-explained, to make sure the player knows what happens and what to do, not much is left for interpretation

It def feels like it's aimed at a younger audience, at a new generation of gamers; this is the same vibe I got from some trailers. It felt a bit Disney-ish? Less "mature", more goofy. Some moments and gags were straight out of a Looney tunes episode (like during one of Emmrich quest for example)

But I think it matches with Rook's personality well; I did not expect Rook to be this "chaotic gremlin" (affectionate) and I got really attached to mine! I'm glad I went with a Lord of Fortune Mage Elf combo, I think it fits the role perfectly (and I personally can't imagine playing anything else from now on).

I was reaaaally pleasantly surprised with the inclusivity! Did not expected to have this deep control over Rook's gender and how much it would be bought up in conversations. A lot of moments hit close to home and got me in my feelings, really appreciate what Bioware did with it - and I think they did a great job with Taash character and story on that front too.

When it comes to the main story: (heavy spoiler warning)

I'll always be bitter that Solas was gender-locked in Inquisition 😔 and for such a dumb reason too. It's obvious that Bioware has a clear canon state when it comes to Solas and his story with the Inquisitor, and I wish I could've experienced it "fully", if that makes sense- I still love the character; my Inquisitor felt betrayed at the end of Trespasser and choose to Stop Solas whatever it takes, I still really like their past friendship and connection, but I wish it could've been more than that - and I would've 100% romanced Solas if given the opportunity in Inquisition.

Everything in DA:V happens reaaaally fast, you dont have time to digest what you just learn that you already have some new info to swallow; you get 50 whiplash in a row and it can be confusing to keep track of everything (again, might be a skill issue on my part lmao)

With the amount of informations we got and with how good the characters were, I actually wish the rythm was a bit similar to Inquisition? Slow passed, with "down time" to digest

I'm also disapointed in the lack of consequences from past games, and there's a lot of missed opportunities. I know they couldn't possibly fit every single choices, but only 3 felt a bit ridiculous

What about Sandal? With everything we learned with Harding and the Titans. Where was Zevran? Nowhere to be seen in Antiva, his home- No words at all from the Divine, or from Ferelden's royalty, whoever it might be? (Again, I did not 100% the game so I mightve missed codex entries)

I'd even go as far as to say that, I think Veilguard plays better for someone who's entierly new to the DA universe. There isn't any expectation and disapointement that takes away from the excitement of experiencing a new game

One such moment that did not hit me because of expectation was the Antaam plot in Trevisio, when the "secret rendez-vous" person turns out to be the Butcher - With how secretive everything was, I was expecting Zevran to make an apparition.

I can't help but also think about the players who romanced Morrigan with their grey warden, or who romanced Isabella during DA2; both characters seems to have completly moved on (which is totally ok and realistic even, it can happen. But this wasn't a narrative choice)

I'd have some nitpicking to do about things I've noticed while playing; some of the animations are wonky, Rook doesn't have any "falling" loop and they just slide using their idle. The walking cycle can look extremly goofy on some NPCs, it looks ok on dwarves cause they're small and walk faster, but some humans I've seen looked really off and laughable

The re-use of a lot of assets from Inquisition can be comforting and it did put a smile on my face to hear familiar bard balads in taverns, to see the same statues assets in some cities, the same art being framed and hanged on the walls; but it also reminds me that the game got scrapped again and again

You can also tell the game was supposed to be multiplayer; the chest looting system, the finish moves and general gameplay really feels "shoot and loot" a bit similar to Borderlands? I never played Anthem but I'm guessing they took some inspiration from it as well

Overall I had a really great experience, and every bit of critism doesn't take away the fact that I love that game a lot 🤏

If I had to rank it on a podium... It'd be second for me, with DA:O on top and DA:I behind it, keeping DA2 last

I'll def replay it in the future, and I'm excited to see what (IF) Bioware does in the future with this Universe 😭 and if this was the last Dragon Age game, this was a really nice finale 🙏

[sictricad]

So late on this but here is the super rough ideas for the Sun&Moon Wandering Traders AU and happen upon Y/N, who may or may not be the first builder they have seen in hundreds of years.

(Constructive critiques are very welcome, def not vibing with the pants design but I dont want just stars/stripes)

Some details on how the Minecraft world may work in my version of it below:

-Time goes by differently for the bots as they may perceive their time more along the lines of the Player/Builders (they dont need to sleep for multiple in game days unless they wish to, so like if the player wanted to pull an "all-nighter" they would be up for a full 72 game days)

-Spawn will always be in Peaceful Mode, it isnt until they leave outwards does the world get "harder". To differentiate the "Anchor-Spawnpoint" from a regular spawnpoint would be enchanted gold that can be imbued into the bed the player sleeps in (enchanted bed) This means the peaceful area can be moved to the Player's discretion. Whether there can be multiple safe areas is still iffy.

-Player can respawn, but will basically reset to having no items (but memories of death are intact, so this version is very open to immortality angst)

-Player will be able to have the "Hud" and be able to track their location (coordinates) at will, and be able to bring up the hud in however form they feel most comfortable to them (it will weird out others when the materials that poof into an item though, this only applies for the player too)

-Sun and Moon will be wary of the Player, as they do not act as the previous builders have, they notice they sleep significantly less, builds are much different, etc. Also after bad run ins with pillagers, they are not too keen on if this new builder may try and use/hurt them (no, cause the trades be too damn good and they are chill af in the peaceful area.)

I am really tempted to start a new Minecraft world and build a story around it. Also will post Sun and Moon's personal details later.
