#is THAT my problem????

[paula-donas]

And here is my true child. The gouache was fun but LOOK AT THEM SO SILLY.

I am proudest of this baby.

It is totally inspired by a fic by @coloursflyaway (won't fear love, i believe,) and one of their adorable dates. I fed on this person's fics for weeks so please check em out they are so good.

I still have to draw so many amazing fanfic scenes but my mental energy has reached a limit i believe JAJAJJ.

Anyway.

THEY ARE ON A CAKE PIECE EATING TOY FOOD.

LOOK AT THEM. SO SILLY. Their littlw faces??????????? I was so inspired by this site's artists i'll eat you tumblr artists' faces thank you so much jajajaj.

So, that's a wrap on art for some weeks now (this is a repost actually cause i thought i had uploaded this picture but i cant find it??)

BUUUT, have i MENTIONED that i've made a comic about masculinity and and expectations and and like. Check it out?

I'm just so proud of it and have spent a LOT of time on it in between exams so, if you'd like to read it, here´s the link! (shameless spammer but who cares, if this'll only reach two randos? kisses!)

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

the trolley problem vs. systemic oppression: a comic.

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]

people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

sick and tired of seeing these ace trainers brag about their super smart badass level 100 shiny mons.

This is Sol. She is a fucking idiot. She regularly forgets that she is a flying type and sits at the bottom of cabinets n such crying cause she doesn't know how to get up. I would die for her.
