Personally I like when u can tell the gods aren’t human right off the bat, I think I mentioned a while ago that I think it’s cool if higher beings look human, but a little to the left.

I think my exact words were “like someone described a human to them and they based their humansona off that description” or something??? I don’t think it really comes across in my art but that’s the intention!!

Hence why all my non god gijinkas are just humans (as much as I wanna give everyone pointy ears/ too many limbs/eyes ლ(´ڡ`ლ))

I honestly ADORE this idea, I love the concept of gods looking a little fucked up, and ngl I remembered that and that's partly why I kinda wanna try making my gijinkas more human. Aside from the bug features looking weird on humans when it's literally just antennae and nothing else, I like the idea of the higher beings standing out. Our gijinkas are becoming more and more alike by the day

I might keep it so that some species are still somewhat bug-like, like maybe moths because I love the idea of them being fluffy. And spiders, obviously, like I mentioned. And maybe butterflies, because honestly I love the idea of fairy looking butterfly gijinkas with pretty wings

And honestly, it'd just make Lummis' and Petunia's reaction of "Yeah we noticed you looked a little off but didn't want to be rude" when it's revealed who Flower is to be that much funnier in this scenario

Honestly, a character whose title is literally "the beast" deserves to look a little fucked up. It could also add to the whole prejudice Hallownestians have towards the Deepnest, if its residents don't quite look fully human

I need to like schedule out what I'm working on. I tend to use fic writing as a way to practise proper writing for novels I plan on publishing and those are still in planning/draft phases.

Rn is chp 22 of WoH which is at 10k words so far and I'd say maybe 70% done???? Help.

After that I want to continue work on one of my FFXIV fics Solis. I was rewriting some of the chapters it had 3 chapters before I decided to rework it. Chp 2 is halfway done so I wanna get that and 3 done. But then after that I need to do chp 4 as then I'll feel like the story has gone fucking nowhere. Luckily that one is mostly just abt Akademia Anyder.

Another FFXIV fic I need to rewrite is Forever at Your Side. The entire first chp rewrite of that one has been planned out already I just never have the energy for it.

On the side I also started a 5 chp fic based on Kirby's adventure with my Gijinka setting. Idk why. It's kind of nearly done in the first chp but the entire thing felt off so aaa on my knees begging my friends for feedback.

I also need to continue that Hollow Knight fic series I started, I have in mind what I want to write for the next bits but I just need motivation for it.

There's the Virgo fic too. Ngl I have to be deeply depressed to write that one so maybe there'll be a chapter soon with how I've been feeling lately lmao.

I think once the stuff planned for Solis is done or maybe when I'm getting bored of doing it I'll do the next chapter for Guided by Starlight. That one has had a fairly healthy upload schedule ngl. WoH i have to try and do a chp per month or more or I will never get it done.

Two back burners are Ashes to Ashes and a FE Fates rewrite. Ashes to Ashes is just fucking complicated and a dark story so it needs time to COOK. And Fates is just gonna be a lot of effort but I had inspo for writing abt two of my ocs and just kinda did it and now I'm like "Well fuck I gotta continue this in some way."

I have three novel's I'm working on as well in the planning stages, they're all fantasy at least. Ugh I should really work on one of them properly next year at least a first draft or smth or I'll be 40 by the time I actually publish smth.

Don't be me, I'm on the highway to hells burn out.
