no major fic updates just yet guys TAKE MY WOY OC I MADE LIKE. April of last year IM PLUGGING SOME INFO ABOUT THIS GUY IN THE TAGS.
I may also redesign her soon or something. Make her more bug-like with some stuff. I can cook guys let me cook !!!
#THIS IS VAL !!!! dubbed her as a he/she er..#I have lore about this guy and his homeplanet Amore and the Lovebugs..#all that’s really important to know is that ive based the worldbuilding for Amore around svtfoe’s mewni#design wise mostly. I’ll emphasize.#in terms of the societal parts of Amore the kingdom kinda flourishes in the arts of all sorts and trade within the kingdom it goes crazay…#they were pretty closed off from the rest of the galaxy though. like their tech and stuff is pretty outdated compared to most of the other-#planets with atleast escape ships and all that fun stuff.#foreshadowing#ANYHOW lovebugs are silly guys I think of them as like weird hedonistic freaks of sorts#they have very big dionysus worshipping energy to them just to give a perspective#and of course they prioritized relationships and the different forms of love#romance actually wasn’t even the big thing that built the kingdom#it was more like a love for community and friends#which is also kinda silly because of the monarchy aspect to Amore and all that#OH ALSO these guys go absolutely crazy with fashion and makeup. gender isn’t a major thing in the kingdom in my eyes#you WILL serve cunt!! /silly#WORLDBUILDING ASIDEEE Val was the prince to the kingdom and was set to be the heir to the throne#the designs are like three different route ideas ive had for Val#the first is just a baseline design so like. pre amore‘s destruction from dominator#the second is like a good ending design of sorts to my ideal lineup for a season three for woy with val continuing to embrace the lovebugs-#history and culture even with Amore gone and a good portion of her people#and the third. is a bit hard to describe because it’s more of an au but it’s just a concept idea I had of Val teaming up with Dom#(it would be short lived like probably a few months max so dw)#and silly note i joked about the idea of val being an ex to peepers BUT I WANNA DEVELOP THAT MORE BEFORE I SHARE.#tap into that this may be cringe but i am free mindset or something slash silly TEEHEE#BUT YEAH Val’s just a silly gal in my heart and soul no matter what. ive missed her a lot i wanna work on fics with him and especially to-#develop more stuff for Amore and the Lovebugs before Dominator’s destruction of the planet#BUT YEAH i wanna Val post more. go into depth for their dynamic with the other characters and all that#I may cook some more stuff with him once I get these stargazing fics all set and whatnot SO WE’LL SEE!#also /nf but if anyone would wanna ask questions about val/amore/lovebugs ask away I’d love to answer any questions! 🥺

so im taking that oil painting class rn right. i mentioned wanting to paint something original instead of just copying a reference bc that's all the teacher has had me doing so far and he agreed I'm probably ready and went off on this whole tangent about how i shouldn't be nervous to try to do something more original and creative and how he'll show me some original stuff his friends have painted and had shown in galleries etc etc, and... I think somehow he's been assuming that the reason I've been painting realistic stuff directly from photo refs is because that's the kind of art I like to do and that I'm nervous about trying something else??? instead of what he's been telling me to do?
which is really funny to me because apart from this class I haven't 1:1 copied a reference for years, I just haven't gone out of my way to show him any art I make in my own time because this is like a professional full-time oil painter who has paintings in galleries and shit, real high-brow art stuff, and idk how to tell him that left to my own devices I draw video game fanart and dragons and furry commissions and gay sex and cringe and i dont want to draw other things

CH3 [140K WORDS] UPDATE + A LESSON
Hi guys! sorry for the delay there was a reason for it
I fucked up my files and lost all the work I did over the few months for the chapter 2 rewrite...like all of it, im really bummed out about it. and like an idiot ive been playtesting the wrong, unfinished outdated chapter 2 lol
im ngl I did have a pretty long cry earlier which is why I took a while...and im crying now writing this lol
I know it's a wip and these things happen but I worked really hard on 200k+ words of chapter 2 to see it improved and to see it all gone and fucked up really really sucks. I value infamous really highly and am pretty hard on myself so when I dont feel like I deliver what I want to deliver it's really hard for me to move on from that. I was really excited to have this all out at once and now I feel completely disheartened. I know I just have to pick myself up and just get back to work and rewrite chapter 2 but right now im just really upset
anyway, sorry to kill the mood this is probably the worst vibe killer ever lmao I hope everyone is excited! I said I was going to release chapter 3 for band tier and thats what im doing. You'll play the prologue + chapter 1 but will have to input some variable stuff for chapter 3. I hope having chapter 3 can make up for the loss of chapter 2
Chapter 3 is 140K words.
What to expect:
perform the first week and see the outcome
quality time with ROs
drama
angst
there is an explicit scene with an RO (it's skippable) so be mindful of that !
forgot to mention that I am completely rehauling the stats (again) as well due to the new flavor text options in chapter 1 because I feel like the stats still dont encompass the broad range now that there's different canonical types of MCs but yeah not like it matters rn since you'll just input it in aha!
I find chapter 3 to be the most lighthearted of all chapters for me so I hope you guys like it. if there's any inconsistencies (there might be due to lack of chapter 2 context or whatnot), errors, passages missing etc etc.
ill be around to fix any bugs and stuff but I think im going to take a day or two to refresh because im really fucking sad lol
hope you guys enjoy it!
available for band tier

attention. please
i have to do this again, unfortunately!
i've been homeless for a little over a year now. the place my mother and i have been staying is no longer an option, and we have to be out by tomorrow (august 8th 2023). we currently have no other shelter except our car, and i really dont know what we're going to do. its me, my mom, 3 cats and 5 kittens, and none of us have a place to go.
the money my mom is currently making isn't enough to support all of us, and we need extra money to spend on me getting an ID so i can get a job and/or get commissions up and running. alongside that, we just really really really need all the help we can possibly get in the financial department
the gofundme im linking has outdated information, but its a good place to donate if you can help us out. itd be greatly, greatly appreciated; we really need it right now if we want to continue. yknow. living
Edit: we now have an RV!
edit 2: the kicking-out-date was correct when i made this, but the person we're staying with has been nice enough to let us hang around until he's made sure the RV is ready to go (no leaks and whatnot). so im still at the house. if thats important information
edit 3: we are.....still at the house. despite the rv being fixed. i sort of feel bad because people donated in what we all thought was urgency, but he simply hasnt Actually Kicked Us Out Yet. i am grateful for that. we're trying to save as much of the donated money as we can for renting a space for the RV and to put down deposits for a house in the future !
its okay if you cant donate, but please share and reblog!!!!!

i headcanon that, despite momo being part of the gyaru subculture, she has a very outdated music taste mostly due to being raised by seiko (if her ken takakura obsession could be enough proof).
so one day, aira, momo, and vamola go to a karaoke after school to have fun and whatnot but aira is absolutely bewildered at momo singing her heart out to songs she could swear only grandmas know of (vamola is just happy to be there ofc).

I like to imagine an alternate version of Sweet and Smokey where Smolder doesn't exist, and it's just Fluttershy and Spike reforming Garble. Smolder only exists as Garble's sister just to be the plot device that reforms him.
Actually, you can make an argument that Smolder acts as simply a plot device in every Spike-centric episode since she was introduced. 
In Molt Down, she acts as the plot device that causes Spike to freak out over the Molt and believe Twilight will kick him out.
In Father Knows Beast, she acts as the plot device that causes Spike to realize that something is off about Sludge. 
In Sweet and Smoky, she acts as the plot device that causes Fluttershy and Spike to even go to the Dragonlands to help Garble.
...
Oh, anyway, a possible version of Sweet and Smoky without Smolder…
One thing I will say for S&S is that they choose the perfect two characters to reform Garble. Spike obviously, because he has the most personal connection with Garble, and Fluttershy because she had a hatred for older dragons, and Garble had a hatred for ponies.
Like I said before, I kinda understand what they were (maybe) going for in S&S when it comes to the Spike and Garble comparison. They're both products of their environment, culture, and upbringing. Spike isn't afraid of being sensitive because he grew up in a society where it's mostly accepted. On the other hand, dragon society is a bit rougher than that, and they prioritize pushing down softer emotions and being big and strong and whatnot. The younger ones are encouraged to put down their peers for being soft and whatnot, so that explains Garble's behavior. 
Interesting thing to note is that not all dragons are shown to be happy like this. The brown dinosaur one nicknamed Barry wants to sleep on pillows, and the big blue one named Scalio secretly enjoys hugs, and playing harmless pranks…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So we have Spike, who isn't afraid of being sensitive because he grew up in a more accepting society, and then we have Garble, who tries his best to act in the way that's accepted by his society.
The conflict would be that Ember and Spike had successfully helped the dragons become more friendly with each other, and are even starting to be nicer to other creatures. Even Garble's friends. Garble is the only one who is stuck in his ways, because he believes that it's going against everything dragons stand for, and he's afraid of the dragons abandoning their culture for pony culture, or at the very least the two cultures incorporating aspects from each other. Basically he wants to keep the culture “pure”.
And you know what? There's nothing wrong with Garble being proud of culture. In the episode, they could have Garble showing Spike the positive/cool aspects of dragon culture that Spike hasn't seen YET (keep in mind it's been implied through scattered dialog that since Gauntlet of Fire that Spike and Twilight have learned more about dragon culture, but they still don't know EVERYTHING), like their art, or the treasure they collect, the different armors they wear, their battles, different types of dragon species like elemental dragons and Chinese dragons, their long history, etc etc you name it. Spike will be genuinely interested and excited about Garble's lesson, and Garble will feel a sense of pride in educating this young dragon who doesn't know the deeper aspects of his species and culture. 
That will show that there's nothing wrong with Garble being proud of his culture, it's just that dragons shouldn't prioritize the negative/outdated aspects of their culture. 
Maybe one of the reasons Garble's pissed at Spike is because Spike is the ambassador helping Ember make important decisions and changes to dragon society, but Spike didn't grow up in dragon society, so he isn't as engulfed in the culture and Garble sees it as him making changes to make dragon society more like pony society. 
If Garble were to explain that to Spike, he would understand, and say that he's not trying to erase dragon culture or whatnot, but he actually wants ponies and dragons to get along and share each other's cultures with each other, but in order for that to happen the dragons need to drop the negative aspects. 
I didn't forget about Fluttershy. While Garble is I guess educating Spike, Fluttershy is with Ember watching the dragon eggs hatching.
Tumblr media
Ember uses the Bloodstone Scepter to summon the actual parents, the bigger dragons. Fluttershy is still terrified of older, bigger dragons.
But when watching the dragon parents interact with their newborn babies, Fluttershy realizes that older dragons are still capable of love and kindness, and she starts to interact with them, her fear beginning to go away.
Later in the episode where Spike has given up on Garble's attitude, and Garble has given up on changing Spike's mind on changing dragon culture, Fluttershy runs into him. Of course he acts rude to her, and she puts him in his place. She is still happy from her interaction with the dragon parents, and hopes to return to the Dragonlands sometime soon to interact with them, and maybe learn more about dragon society. Garble is confused on why a “soft and sensitive” pony would want to interact with dragons and learn more about their culture, and Fluttershy confesses that before she was afraid of dragons, but after interacting with them sees that not all of them are scary. Garble educates Fluttershy in the same way he did Spike, and Fluttershy is interested. She points out similarities between pony and dragon culture, and Garble acts like he's not interested. But Fluttershy tells him some impressive things that ponies have done, and Garble can't pretend to be unimpressed anymore. He begrudgingly asks to hear more about pony culture. 
Tumblr media
After all that, Garble (once again, begrudgingly) approaches Spike, and tells him that what he's trying to do for dragon society isn't completely terrible (Garble's words, not mine). He had believed dragon culture was superior, and was afraid of it going away or being watered down by dragons accepting friendship, which he viewed as something strictly for pony culture, which he saw as inferior. But pony society has rich and interesting aspects, which he learned from Spike and Fluttershy. 
Spike says that pony society isn't perfect either, and there have been examples of ponies looking down on other species as well (Chancellor Neighsay for instance). 
So Garble gets past his hatred of ponies, Fluttershy gets past her hatred of older dragons, and Spike further helps pony and dragons get on better terms with each other. Not only that, but Spike and Garble are friends again.
Keep in mind that Garble is the first dragon friend Spike ever made (before they became enemies), so thematically it makes sense for them to become real genuine friends again in the final season.
Tumblr media
And no horribly contrived crap, like Smolder being Garble's sister, or laugh fire being introduced out of nowhere, or completely retconning Garble's character.
Who knows, maybe they can even keep the beat poetry thing. Have Garble be into it, and he teaches Spike about it because it's a part of ancient dragon art, only for Spike to reveal that ponies do that too. 
Garble automatically assumes that ponies appropriated it from dragons, but in reality a long time ago a friendly dragon taught it to a pony, and was ok with the pony taking it back to their society. 
Either that, or it's just something that both societies came up with. That's cool too.
Wow, this is long. If you made it to the end, I salute you :)

My commission carrd: (Only covers prices for Robux comms!)
✨ My Askbox (OPEN)
✅Open ❌Closed ❎Tentative
✅/❎ Requests (This really just depends on what the ask is about, if it’s for my aus then it’s most likely a yes, if it’s just a misc art request or what not then it’s a 50/50). I am unfortunately pretty wrapped up in personal art most of the time, but I will try to answer an art request every once in awhile here.

I'll delete asks I'm uncomfortable with.
NO nsfw or suggestive, you’ll be blocked and reported as I am a minor with no tolerance for that.
Requests will open and close as needed, and I will let you know when they open again!
I will try to get to every request, but it may take it a bit since I’m a full time student who has a life outside of art and social media lol
Some asks I may take longer to respond to than others (sorry to the poor soul who asked for a sleepy catshot doodle back in fucking DECEMBER 2023 you’ll get your catshot soon I swear 😭)
‼️Disclaimers
Do not steal, trace, copy, or claim my art to be yours, certain things like designs for canon characters and stuff I’m fine with you taking inspiration from (!!ASK FIRST!!), or using with credit (a small note, I am completely fine with you using my designs as long as you credit me! If anything, I appreciate it very much that people like them enough to do so :3!)
Proshippers, homo/transphobes, mean or generally gross people DNI‼️ it’s also preferred that if you have NSFW/highly suggestive stuff/or fetish content on your account that you don’t follow me, as I tend to check the profiles of people who follow me and I don’t want to see that (I would also prefer my parents do not see that if they were to ever check my account LOL)
Please don't make highly suggestive or NSFW comments towards me, my oc’s, or characters, you’ll be blocked if you do so; I am relatively alright with very minor and safe suggestive stuff from friends, but even then if it’s art related, please confirm if it’s alright with me. Very close friends get a slight pass with this as long as it’s in good fun and safe, but if pushed I will not tolerate it and will give you a warning.
I’m still learning how to use this website so please be polite and patient with me :’>
If you draw fanart of my OCs, AUs, or Headcanons, please tag me!! I absolutely love to see fanart and it makes my day! :DD!
‼️Important note: my blog will sometimes contain art that has blood, gore, violence, bright colors, horror media, etc. These WILL be put under spoiler tags though, but a lot of the older ones are not, so please be careful! (A note, I don’t tend to draw stuff like that too often unless you count my TMA au, so no need to worry about it too much!)‼️
⭐️ Extra information about me
• I am a young minor with diagnosed autism, adhd, and ocd, I also have slight social anxiety, so please, PLEASE be patient with me, as I can have trouble communicating, understanding things, or coming up with responses
• Never be afraid to approach me about anything, although I’m a bit nervous talking to new people, I adore making new friends, just please don’t be weird, if you make me outright uncomfortable I will most likely block you.
• For fanart and such, feel free to contact me about it if you need ideas, permissions, reference images, or need to know anything important!
• I’m a full time school student and can be relatively busy, I also have notifications off on all platforms, so I may be slow to respond if you dm me or try to contact me.
• I’m a huge nerd and absolutely love talking about my interests, but if I ever get too excited or overbearing, never be afraid to just tell me to take a chill pill or calm down, I can promise you I will not be angry! Communication is key with me since I can have issues understanding others, if I’m ever too much to handle, just say it! I’ll greatly appreciate it as it helps me to grow and be a better person ^^!
• If you talk to me about my interests I will be the happiest soul alive, I am INSANE about my hyperfixations and love love LOVEEEE talking about them
Here’s the link to my Carrd!

Hi, my name is Leya. I really like your art, I'm waiting for new ones to appear qwq
Please answer my question: how do you imagine Jeff and Randy meeting again and making peace? (I adore this couple and live only for them qwq)
Hey Leya, thank you for your support, I appreciate all the asks and questions that are coming my way and I ADORE to see more fans of this lil ship! I’ll slowly try to both make new art and share some of my old stuff here in a hopefully recurrent peace (Also I’ll make old as OLD in the posts, as my art, the story, and mainly Jeff’s design is a bit outdated, oops-)
As for the actual question, well… There’s a lot I am still trying to figure out with them, so take my response with a bit of salt here and there hehe.
But, to say again, my story changes a ton from the og, it’s more on the ways of JTK 2015 ish? Kinda? They are relatively closer to it than the og events anyway. So, you can already imagine some details about Randy… Mainly that he had a crush on Jeff before shit hits the fan- However, my version of Randy is a bit unhinged, and after disappearing/being pronounced dead, he goes his merry way. And by “Merry Way,” I mean he likes firearms and becomes a sniper assassin, with the personal goal of hunting Jeff and probably keeping his eyes in a jar or something like that. He also likes to keep trophies if he ever has the chance.
So, seeing how others have failed (Liu, Jane, Troy, Keith, Nina, etc etc) He decides to start trying to… start a friendship from afar. Of course, he hides his face with a mask and whatnot- And Jeff, being VERY starved from ANY kind of affection, falls for it very quick … Quick and sincere enough for Randy to start to feel… Something, for him, mostly pity anyway. Jeff is not a Killer, per se, it’s more complicated than that.
And that’s all I’m willing to say about this question. I hope it’s satisfactory. Please let me know if it is or isn’t!

Greetings fellow netizens!
I am Copper, but some of you may know me better as Blueflame :D
Welcome to my silly lil page where I yap and blog about my daily life with my beloved Broker Plush, Dime :3
If you would like to know more, continue reading below
If not, enjoy your time looking through my page ^v^
Tumblr media
Like I said above, I am just ya average Singaporean chinese girlie who currently has an obsession with my beloved Broker Plush shown below :3
Tumblr media
My birthday is on the 10th of January and his birthday is the 3rd of October (The same day I got him)
Also he's the 3482th Broker out of his 5037 fellow Broker Plush siblings and here is his badge :3
Yes I have a Toyhouse if you wanna look around at my other OCs you can (Although currently it's kinda empty djnsbdb)
I mostly post photos here, all having 1 filter that I select in my gallery, but if you would like to see fanart, look no further than their Toyhouse :3
By the way my main persona for this site is Marcella Copperhorn so you can draw her as a representative of me :3
If u wanna see art in general from me, check my Deviant Art (although its kinda outdated as I haven't uploaded any recent works yet djdbdhe)
I try to upload daily, recording my everyday doings with Broker but ofc I won't upload at night (my timezone is GMT+8) which is if you're american, day for you, so uh yeah dsjvdjshs
Oh ya when Broker types for roleplay, he uses " marks around the text and my texts is without quotation (Also OOC text is with brackets when roleplaying)
Yup I love to roleplay so if you would like to rp with me, feel free :D
Also gang ik I already post alot of photos about where I go and whatnot and so if you do encounter me in public pls uh, approach me in a way that doesn't startle me.
Don't doxx me too y'all, should be very self explanatory.
Oh yeah y'all please if I do something wrong tell me nicely, 99.99999% of the time its unintentional and without any malicious intent so y'all be nice to me okay I just abit dumb at times and most of the time if you provide a reasonable explanation I would listen to ya I'm not that hard to convince 😭
If u want to know my socials, just ask in dms :3
So far I have Discord (Where I am actually most active at) and Roblox :D
Tbh the funniest thing is that Broker isn't my favourite character, my favourite Phighter (in terms of design and mechanics at least) is Subspace and my overall favourite character is Illumina, closely followed by Darkheart and Ghostwalker.

Okok so we all know the Sims 3 is like, not super popular and is also notoriously buggy BUT on the off chance anyone is like me and loves it, i have some tips that have greatly helped my game run better. I also am including links to any specific creators or sites I recommend. Tips under the cut bc it's a long post, but I tried to be thorough! You will need to understand like, basic reading comprehension and basic computer-y stuff (downloading files, unpacking files, dragging and dropping into folders, editing the occasional file text) but most stuff I link to have tutorials for adding mods into the game and whatnot.
I really hope this helps people like me who love TS3! but know the game is.... outdated for basically all computers. These are all things ive learned over the past couple years, so I hope this can be a helpful resource for anyone wanting to play TS3.
Number one will probably be using this tutorial to make the game recognize your current computer specs. Because the game is, yknow, old, it wont recognize newer drivers and whatnot. This tutorial will allow the game to actually recognize them and therefore run better https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=26753.0
Nraas will be your best friend for managing things in-game. It's similar to MCCC for the sims 4 but you completely customize which like, modules you use. I highly highly recommend specifically Story Progression and Master Controller https://www.nraas.net/community/home
LazyDuchess is a goddess and I highly Highly recommend her Smooth Patch mod. It makes the game run so much better. Also she has so many other mods that make things like CAS load faster plus a search function for Build/Buy https://www.patreon.com/lazyduchess/posts
ModTheSims is a great resource for Sims 3 Mods as well, definitely recommend making an account and perusing their sims 3 mods https://modthesims.info/
Speaking of ModTheSims, I highly recommend Regul Save Cleaner to... clean up the extra data in your saves https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=652440
Also on ModTheSims theres an excellent bug fixing mod from Simler90, it touches on a bunch of like longtime bugs that havent been fixed (like the firefighter career being bugged) https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=659969
Make sure that before playing or after adding any new mods, delete the files: caspartcache.package, compositorcache.package, scriptcache.package, simcompositorcache.package, and socialcache.package. If not, the game WILL load slowly and/or crash. These files are found in Documents\ElectronicArts\The Sims 3. Not sure about Steam bc I use the EA app, but I assume its a similar path.
Save every half hour or so to prevent crashes killing too much progress. And don't play for longer than an hour per initial load (like, play for an hour, save, quit and load the game again). I find it helps the game run smoother when you dont play in 3 hour stretches.
make a backup saves folder for your saves. Im not sure why, but i found that keeping only one save in the actual saves helps it loads faster and smoother.
Also when saving your game, ALWAYS use Save As. If you Save As, you wont have to worry about accidentally corrupting your saves, which happens a lot
Also, when you're about to save, move the save you loaded into your backup saves folder BEFORE saving. I find it crashes/corrupts way less if its not trying to compete with the other save
also keep your sims personal inventory fairly empty (like 10 items max) to prevent a known bug from occurring when saving. Use a storage box or something to store collectibles like gems, plants, etc.
WHEN IN CAS WAIT UNTIL THE LITTLE FLOWER LOOKING ICON IS BLUE TO SCROLL THROUGH THE CATEGORY. When it turns blue, all the items have properly loaded, so it wont lag nearly as much.
Prev point applies to build/buy, wait for the category to load before messing with things. You'll save yourself a lot of stress
Dont use 4 speed, i find it just lags and stops progressing time. I use 2 or 3 max, even when sleeping
In BuyDebug you can buy these invisible lights that make the lighting much much better in game. Just have an actual light, like a lamp or outdoor light, to be able to change brightness and color in Live mode. Bc.... Its invisible so non-clickable

WELCOME WELCOME!
Welcome to yet another SPM ask blog!
Current state: active!
Ask Queue: 60! (I swear ill get to them all 🔥)
In this blog, you can ask anything to any SPM character!
•Just please do remember to keep it SFW and in general don't ask any suggestive/weird stuff! But other than that I'd be more than happy to answer to y'all's creative and whatnot questions with any character!
•You can ask as many questions as you want (anon or not) however i ask to not spam the question box!
•You also can ask questions to any character (even more than one in the same ask ofc) in any period of the game! (Between chapters, post-game, etc!)
•Also also, I'll try to keep things as canon as possible, but in cases in which we do not have canon answers or 100% fleshed out I might insert some headcanons or thoughts of mine! Or general ideas the fandom has!
----------------------------------------------------------
My Tumblr main is @ooftale , and other than SPM i like and draw much more stuff, so I'd recommend to check it out if you're interested!!
----------------------------------------------------------
I'll add more to this post as time goes on if it's needed! But for now I think these are the basic things to know about the blog :]
So thank you for stopping by and hope you'll enjoy!

Tis I the Jester! They/them and Ey/em + (more under cut)
This is my main blog for the DCA fandom my pseudo main for anything else (@/jestersdlc) can be found here.)
This blog is a LGBTQIA+, Neurodiverse, and Systems safe space!
No bigotry, racism, sexism, ableism, TERF's, aphobia, syscourse, and anything else possibly missed. All in all be nice to each other and respect others please!
The Jester is an Atertiary (spec.) Autistic, Adult. And may not always use the /p tone tag but am ok with it being used towards me even when I don't use it.
I use the terms Friend/Familiar and moots interchangeably along with the term Dove as a platonic (or general) endearment.
PLEASE be direct with me (tone tags are helpful, but in gen just be direct about things like if you want to be/consider me a friend, if you are or aren't comfy with something, etc general rule just be direct it would be GREATLY appreciated.)

ABOUT.
I post art and writing to do with the DCA's and my own DCA Au's! Along with reblogging stuff for the DCA fandom (and occasional tag games when I get tagged on here.)
I love the DCA and the DCA fandom so I may occasionally reblog a lot but most stuff is queued! (Everyone's art and written works for canon and fanon of the DCA's is awesome!)
I have many Au's, most with outdated masterdoc's but you can find out a bit more on them from our old pinned post (Found here!) or you can send an ask about them! (Current Au focus is LSAU (The Lonely Star Au)
ASKS.
Asks are open, so feel free to send me some, I love to answer them. General rule be nice, no bigoty/hate/etc. Not fond of swearing but some is fine, just no slurs (and tone tags would be appreciated.) Nothing NSFW. Can be about au's, the DCA or anything in general as long as it's not inappropriate!
Questions are welcome.
I do make userboxes, feel free to ask about them! (Most of the one's above are made by yours truly!)
Additional links and info under the cut!
TAGS LIST.
#jesterposts - Any and all posts, general tag!
#jesterdraws - Any and all drawings, sketches, all art stuff (old tag was #jesterdoodles)
#jesterwrites - Any and all writing posts, be it wips, sneak peaks and finished works for A03 that are DCA/DCA au themed!
#jester rambles - Just random rants and tangents and whatnot that are just me rambling on whatever, anything that doesn't get tagged with the main gen tag will be tagged with this!
#jesteranswers - Ask tag!
Things will also be tagged for CW's as needed
LINKS.
A03 main.
Artfight.
ADDITIONAL INFO.
PRONOUNS!
They/them/their/themself and Ey/em/eir/eirself and none (just name or 3rd person like 'the Jester')
Xey/xem/xeir/xemself, xe/xem/xyr/xemself, andddd pink/pinks/pinkself (strictly lowercase) pronouns
I like them being used interchangeably, so go wild!
I don't mind being tagged in tag games/picrews, may take some time to answer them. But would rather generally be tagged on out Pseudo main (but it's ok if you tag this one instead! ^-^)
Please don't send me the ask chains, they get repetitive (and not in an enjoyable way.) and are distressing. (Ex. send this to X people that make you happy, say 5 things you like and send to X people keep the chain going. Those types of asks.)
Dm's are open! I don't mind them, but may take some time to answer. Just please don't be inappropriate!
I have a discord as well as a Simply Plural. You are welcome to ask for either and if we are comfortable enough with you, I will give you the information to 'friend' on them. I'm not the most chatty with people on either unless I know you really well!

Talking to a friend tonight about how one of the strangest, shittiest cultural shifts of the last decade seems to be the sheer number of people who are just totally uninterested in growing as people.
Uninterested in examining anything beyond their knee jerk reactions of "I like it = good, I don't like it = bad," and more than happy to therapy-speak their way through interpersonal problems on the most superficial level imaginable as long as it means avoiding any real personal accountability or need to confront anything the least bit complicated about themselves or the way they interact with the world.
It's so bizarre and depressing, and ABSOLUTELY a huge part of the reason we're experiencing a cultural crisis of loneliness. When you approach every relationship and interaction in your life and culture with the attitude of "I don't owe anyone anything" and a total lack of willingness to dig into any surface level discomfort or acknowledge that your actions do have an impact on the people around you, you're never going to form real, lasting connections.
(getting slightly more personal under the cut)
Whenever I think about this I always consider my own experience with what has, at times, been an extremely crippling panic disorder.
I see a lot of people with similar issues talking about taking care of themselves and whatnot, but it's all about avoidance and accommodation. Maybe I'm about to sound outdated, but it kind of concerns me that nobody talks about being able to overcome things like this anymore?
Some things never go away, my panic disorder has definitely opened doors in my mind that I know can never really be closed now that I've experienced a particular way of thinking, and I will always have some months that are worse than others. Acknowledging that doesn't mean avoiding everything that distresses you. Sometimes, it's better to just have the panic attack, go through the shitty thing, rather than let your fear take something else away from you.
The reality is, avoidance of an issue only allows it to gain ground. Every time you shy away from something because it's uncomfortable or anxiety inducing or upsetting, you are denying yourself an opportunity to live a fuller life.
I'm just so curious to know what it is, exactly, people are striving for when they pursue the image of moral purity and a stress free existence? How are you going to connect with people when you're constantly policing each other, when you cannot foster open, honest connections because you're so afraid of anything even the least bit unsightly inside of yourself or anyone else?
What will you gain from avoiding stress? Fear? Discomfort? How do you shun half of your emotions and still expect to be able to handle them when they inevitably break through?
Obviously, we all have our limits, we all have our boundaries, but the trend of people setting those limits and boundaries at the first sign of discomfort is insanely depressing.

So, I know people struggle with self-criticism of their own art like me. I have some tips! These help me. Check below! ☺️🥰❤️
- Finish the product with all your small mistakes. Why? Because after you look at it, you’ll be like, “Ugh, This sucks” and want to fill in detail and whatnot. Don’t do it. Use it as a learning experience for the next time. (NO ART IS BAD BTW)
- Try different approaches if one way doesn’t work. Don’t force THAT way to work or you’ll get burned out.
- TAKE. BREAKS. PLEASE. (BURNOUT IS REAL)
- If digital? ALWAYS MAKE A COPY OF YOUR OUTLINE! (Rename it, too). So if you mess up, you can start over without COMPLETELY starting over.
- Remember: There is NO such thing as BAD art. It’s all about interpretation and perception. Remember Picasso, Da Vinci, Normal Lewis, Van Gogh, Bob Ross, and so many other amazing artist.
- Don’t think just because pen and paper our outdated that you have to switch. If you want to, awesome. But people still buy and adore physical art.
- We are OUR OWN WORST CRITICS. Yes, our opinion should always come first, but not if it’s just negativity. Remember: No art is bad. It’s only bad when you don’t bother try.
- Tutorials! Tutorials! They are HELPFUL! No harm in asking for help.
