Just a notion relating to sub aemond

Imagine not being a native speaker of high valyrian but learning the phrase good boy in high Valyrian and then out of nowhere one day just springing it on him when he's close to finishing, and then he does epically

I think the best way is to use it sparingly only on special occasions when he's been extra good so it doesn't loose its affect on him😂

Idk if its just me but I think that shits hawtttt

(Big fan of your blog btw!!!)

Absolutely brilliant idea anon! I love this so so much.

NSFW sub!aemond below the cut!

My immediate thought with this was actually just that Aemond would probably get so emotional to realise you spending time to learn something important to him? I don't just mean a wholeass language either. If he realises you've been reading some of his favourite history books or taking note of his favourite foods or even just asking him about his training.

From the moment he was born he had countless duties shoved upon him. He had so many expectations of him the moment he was born and all he's ever known is desperate attempts to meet those expectations and always failing by virtue of being the second son.

Of course he eventually learnt his own interests and things he enjoys, mostly just riding Vhagar, reading and training. He never actually thought he'd have anyone take any interest to what he likes, and he certainly never expected anyone to actually want to spend time with him.

So when he meets his future wife and you start to ask him things about what he likes, he's confused. At first he thinks you're just trying to make small talk to make things less awkward and he really has no idea what to do with himself when you actually remember everything and bring things up later and try to form a real connection with him.

The first time you mention that you were actually busy reading a book he had said was one of his favourites he has to turn away from you to prevent you from seeing the tears welling in his eyes. He just... he didn't know it was possible to actually bond with someone like he is with you.

(Sidenote before we get into the actual content of the ask: I think in response to this he would dive head first into literally anything you were interested in. You best believe he will read every favourite book of yours multiple times, will ensure the kitchen is always stocked with your favourite foods, will spend hours learning about something you like)

I think the idea to learn a few choice High Valyrian words and phrases came about when you started to realise how much Aemond prides himself on his High Valyrian. You knew he was fluent, but it takes a while to realise that he has spent many many more hours learning it than necessary and he prides himself on being able to speak and read it fluently.

So you decide to surprise him by learning a few special words and phrases in the language. It takes a while before you can find a tutor that you're confident won't spoil the surprise but once you do, you get to work on ensuring your pronunciation is perfect.

The first time you call him a good boy this way is during a very intense scene. Aemond loves to be pushed and wrecked, loves being made to cum so many times he can't stop twitching and whining. For his last orgasm of the day, you ride him and just as you're about to finish you whisper 'good boy' in high Valyrian in his ear and yup he's done for. It takes him HOURS to come back from subspace that time, just laying with you and letting you look after him without a care in the word because... because good boy.

After that reaction you ensure to use it whenever he's been really really good and no matter how many times you do so, it always turns him completely to mush.

I also think he'd be so touched and happy if you started trying to learn the language properly? The moment he finds out you're still meeting with the tutor he confronts you and when you say you know it's important to him so you want to learn it, he nearly starts crying again.

Needless to say, he tells you to stop paying the tutor and to let him help you. At first you're worried about it because he's obviously very very far ahead in it, but you quickly realise he absolutely loves teaching you. Normally he has no time for those he seems less intelligent but it's completely different with you because he doesn't see you that way at all. He's well aware of just how intelligent you are in other fields and he's so touched that you'd learn a whole language for him.

Some of Aemond's favourite nights are the ones spent curled up by the fireplace with you, a book in High Valyrian on his lap with you leaning against him, listening or trying to read some of it. Over time you become fluent in it and pretty soon Aemond speaks to you more in High Valyrian than he does in English.

Finally, meet my Stardew OC, Kyle!

I've also made some more portraits and a wholeass sprite sheet with seasonal outfits and costumes for him, but I'll post those separately! ^^ I've been going insane over him for the past week lol, I wish I could actually mod him into the game ugh

vV Tons More Info About Him Below!!! Vv

-Born and raised in Pelican Town, his café used to be his parents' bed and breakfast. At age 6, his family moved to Zuzu City for several years to give him a proper education, but they kept ownership of the building. After graduating college where he majored in Business Management to follow in his parents' footsteps, Kyle had the old and unused bed and breakfast renovated into his very own Kreamy Kafé, with the help of his parents' good friend Robin, of course! She already started working on the building while he was on his last year of college, so when he moved back in on that winter day it was mostly just to unpack his personal belongings, and he quickly got to work in less than a week!

-The reason why he started a café business instead of just reviving the bed and breakfast is because he's actually autistic and coffee is his special interest! He loves everything about it, from the sprouting seeds to an intricately decorated cup full of the delectable liquid. His café has a mini greenhouse attached to it on the side, where he grows his own coffee beans!

-Despite being transmasc, he doesn't want to have to present as hyper masculine for his identity to be respected. He's quite comfortable with his femininity and his body, and he quite frankly just wishes the world around him would change instead to just accept that yeah this feminine short dude is just another guy .👍👍👍 Which is why he feels closer to the rest of Pelican Town (who welcomed him with open arms) than his own parents, which he never actually came out to because of the mildly transphobic remarks they've made about other trans people when he was growing up, and he decided to not trust them with that information about himself. He'd rather be misgendered by them than disowned, as he is still reliant on them at times.

-Bisexual, falls for people easily but just as quickly makes negative hypothetical situations in his head with that person to kill off those feelings asap 😁👍 that did not work completely when it came to Victor lmao! Loser!!!

-He has a custom latté called Kyle's Special (because he isn't very creative lol) and it gives you +3 speed instead of the +1 regular coffee and triple shot espressos give! The downside (to balance it out) is that it does -30 health and the speed buff only lasts for a mere 30 seconds before your player experiences a sugar crash XP He likes his coffee sweet unfortunately!

-Harvey hates that coffee because it is literally a health hazard, thus they have awkward tension lol

-He's coded as half Filipino, half Italian! Honestly I just got his surname from the dude who invented espressos, Luigi Bezzera, and I took a z out cause that made it look more like a Filo surname LMAO, but after some thinking I gave up and made him half Italian anyway. My poor son is wasian now by an impulsive decision SDKJKSDD

I could add soooo much more info but I'll leave it at that for now ^^ You'll get to know him more in sooner posts!

[explodingchantry]

Hawke going "he's not just a monster or a hero. Perhaps he's both" about anders, no matter whether you romanced him, and supported him, is such dogshit lazy writing it is literally a shame on the franchise and its pretension to choices that matter.

Before playing dai you have to go through your wholeass tapestry and it's already obvious from quite a few bits that some of the choices you're inputting on there won't matter. I'm sorry, but it's very unlikely that you telling that Dwarven woman that her son died heroically in the deep roads rather than tell her the truth in Dao had enough repercussions that it would show up in dai. But some choices do come up, like dagna. It's cute.

Thing is, if you're going to bring back the protagonist of one of your previous games, someone we PLAYED AS, someone we ROLE played as - you've got to put in the fucking work. And yeah it includes writing a bunch of dialogue that a lot of people won't see, or that a bunch of people won't care about since dai was aimed at new players. But if you're not ready to put in the work, then don't do it at all.

Hawke (and the warden they bring with them depending on your dao choices) is brought in for some cheap hype and tears but oh my god it stings even more to have them be so out of character. You get to choose in the tapestry what personality your hawke was and it isn't reflected at all in their dialogue. You get to choose who they romanced and it just results in a couple of lines.

And no matter if your hawke was a mage - even a fucking blood mage - they disapprove of it. No matter if your hawke supported anders - they give that lame ass answer once asked about him.

And all we have left as fans is making excuses, is adding to the narrative to aid the pretty fucking heavy suspension of disbelief bioware expects of us. We've had to spin it into "well, hawke, and to some extend varric, wouldn't dare openly approve of Anders in chantry territory"

Even when your inquisitor is a mage, perhaps even ab elven or qunari mage. Even when your inquisitor rejects andrastianism. Even when they ally with the mages.

You don't get to choose, as the inquisitor, to approve of Anders' actions. And that choice was taken away from hawke, too.

I'm sorry but it just fucking sucks. My hawke promised anders that they would tell the world, not just the knight commander of kirkwall, that they stand with an apostate. My hawke promised anders they would be fugitives together. My hawke is proud of Anders. My hawke does believe he's a tragic hero.

And also my hawke sympathizes with the wardens especially because their brother is one, because anders is/was one. And theyre not so vitriolic towards blood magic because they were a blood mage, were besties with a blood mage, and witnessed blood magic being used for the good of the world. Jesus christ

Has anyone noticed how Nancy has absolutely no chill when it comes to Ace. I mean she is usually very rational and logical but when it comes to Ace she has like two braincells. Since the earliest episodes she has no sense of personal space when it comes to him and ONLY him. She tries to sacrifice her life to save her friends after he hints that she put their lives in danger. She gives a list of witnesses to a criminal and makes a shady deal with her grandmother to exonerate her grandfather to save his life. Legit goes to his house to confess her feelings for him even though he was in a relationship at the time. Kisses the next guy she sees after she thinks he stood her up and breaks up with him the very next day after Ace confesses his feelings. Offers Temperance her blood in exchange to save his life. Sacrifices a wholeass town (temporarily) for a chance to be with him. Tries to stay away from him and nearly folds every time he merely looks at her. Brushes off almost dying to try again to be with him. The absolute low, barely leaves her house after their breakup. Tries to send him signs and gestures to fight for her. Recognizes the sound of his car, the sight of his shoes and even the sound of his footsteps (girl, how?). And my personal favorite, accidentally starts a literal death game because she couldn’t handle him seeming indifferent to her dancing with someone else. And these are just the ones I can think of on the top of my head. I’ve seen so many posts about how Nancy moves on too fast and how she doesn’t care about Ace the way he cares about her and it baffles me. Because this girl is so in love that she barely sees anything but him. All her sound logic and calm flies right out of the window and she becomes this unhinged, chaotic version who’s willing to do anything and everything when it comes to him. She has a coping mechanism of getting into rebound relationships and Ace has definitely loved Nancy longer but that in no way means that she loves him any less.

Re: requests, literally any nsfw for Zevlor? I love one (1) sad old tiefling

i, too, love one sad ole' tiefling. he and karlach own my wholeass heart. some of my own headcanons/portrayals of him snuck into these, hope ya don't mind.

(please send me more asks about zevlor i love him so much)

nsfw below the cut! MDNI

in general-

zevlor's a hopeless romantic in the truest of sense. his entire life has been about devotion - he joined a group of soldiers that you can't quite, he's a paladin who lived by his oath for decades, and he followed the literal god of guardians. he believes in devotion, and that undoubtedly leaked into his concept of relationships

maybe back in his young soldiering days, zevlor had some one-night stands, maybe an occasional fling or two. but his devotion to his duty came first, and he sadly never found time to fall in love like he wanted, or start a family.

so, if you somehow managed to lure zevlor into your bed? you need to know it's because he loves you. even if he hasn't told you.

he's an old, broken paladin. he's not willing to risk heartbreak and further grind down his sense of self-worth, not with everything he's been through.

he's already lost everything that made him who he was. he can't loose you, too.

the first time around? it's all sweetness. he approaches your naked body with a sort of reverence, like he can't quite believe what he's seeing. that this is actually happening.

his attention to detail is paramount. he's trimmed all his talons to a dull sort of safety, he's got warming oil tucked into his belt-pouch, hell - he brings his own contraceptive herbs, if he's with the type partner where that's a concern. he'll eat em in front of you if that helps.

consent is the sexiest thing, and he unwraps you like a present, carefully asking with every piece of clothing removed, dipping his head to press kisses to every new bit of your beautiful self revealed to him.

His hands tremble as they travel over soft skin, careful on every curve he covers. he's constantly checking in, making sure you're okay- can he touch here? caress you?

it's admittedly a very vanilla affair, but it's probably the most tender, loving sex you'll ever have.

he's going to want to top, and gods, how can you say no to that face?

you'll come first. no matter what. he presses kisses down your body until he can attend your clit or cock with careful flicks of his tongue, he'll dribble oil onto his fingers in front of you so he can slowly work you open, taking one finger, then two-

and gods, you just know he'd have amazing hands, right? callused and dextrous after a lifetime of sword-wielding, but ever-so careful and exact.

he won't want to take you until you've made a mess of the bedsheets, and when he does? he wants to take you in missionary so he can reach you everywhere, kiss every bit, and watch - commit every bit of this to memory, just in case he never has the opportunity take you apart, ever again

he's going to do his gods-damned best to insure you both cum at the same time. he'll press careful kisses to your mouth as you fall apart, one hand cupping your chin, just so he can watch your face as you cum

he's not a very loud moaner, but he repeats your name on loop until he finishes.

he gets hella clingy afterwards, and if you two have the right kind of relationship where he feels safe enough to be vulnerable which of course you two do, he'll probably cry afterwards

thankfully, this becomes a regular occurrence for both of you

in terms of kinks? zevlor's a bit of a mixed bag. he's got a lot of things he's passingly thought would be very hot to try with a partner, but he may carry some weird guilt about it.

in kinky, bdsm terms-

i'm a firm believer he's a switch, and he's equally willing (and wanting, tbh) to take both roles on, depending on the night. while bdsm wouldn't be a lifestyle-like thing for him and the majority of y'all's sex is vanilla, there's definitely occasions where he wants to indulge. and they're usually like, specifically-planned and orchestrated occasions, set to consume a whole evening, for both the kinky sex and the aftercare.

safewords include the faerun equivalent to the stoplight system (which i'm still working on), or something simple and straightforward that both of you can easily remember.

'bridle' is what comes to mind off the bat

he's absolute delighted if his partner wanted to take care of him, and yield without a fight. if he verbally protests he should be taking care of you, just say you wanna show him how much you love him. he'll fall apart in moments.

as a submissive? his biggest kinks would be praise and body worship, especially contrasted with some light verbal degradation. he's got some guilt to work through, and it's nice to do that with someone he trusts implicitly. but focus more on rewarding good behavior, rather than punishing bad behavior. he's disappointed enough in himself.

it's worth mentioning, this man is the furthest thing from a brat (for the most part). he wants to be good and get praised, since nothing else gets his heart beating as fast - but if you're being a tease, he's not above squirming and cursing at you in infernal

bondage is a yes, but he prefers one particular facet: rope. shibari's equal parts art form and bondage, and he'd appreciate the care and attention to detail that goes into it.

ironically? you wouldn't need bondage to hold him still. he's pretty damn good at following orders, and he's definitely eager to please. i don't think he'd be into 'good boy', but call him a 'sweet lil soldier'??? hahahaha oh wow

sweet and reassuring aftercare is a necessity, there's like a 95% chance he'd cry in a weird, cathartic sorta way. he's definitely a candidate for subdrop, so watch for that.

regardless of how pretty he is when he falls apart, he'd additionally play dominant with just as much eagerness. just say you trust him implicitly, he's incredibly handsome and attractive when he's in-charge, and you want him to take control. he'll more than happily agree - he's enthusiastic about it, especially when he sees how excited you are about the concept

speaking of- titles. Master sits weird with him, but "Sir" and "Commander" are both on deck. he kinda a fun lil illicit thrill using his old title in the bedroom. it'd go a long way to restore that ole' Hellrider Commander confidence, ngl.

he's a very firm, but very kind dominant, if that makes sense? he issues his commands, wants and expects them to be followed. his rewards good behavior with praise and petting (hair, or elsewhere on your body)

he's got a very good understanding about the lengths and limits of subspace given how well he knows you, he's incredibly attentive about how far his submissive has sunk, mentally, and he'll take them as far as they're looking to go- whether that's just taking their mind off a situation with some sweet tending and an orgasm or three, or totally obliterating their brainpower in a positive way with the paladick(tm) treatment

very into getting his partner to the point all they remember his name, designation, and 'please'. equally as fond as leaving hickies/marks/love bites all across their body, especially where people might be able to see. leaving physical evidence of his effect on his lover is a big turn-on

as equally into bondage and rope as a dominant as he is a submissive. it's a hobby he occasionally indulges in, and he enjoys prettying you up in fancy hemp ropes he probably dyed himself

he's fan-fuckin-tastic with aftercare, it's kind of insane. he's soft and careful, getting you a glass of water, he draws you a warm bath and helps you clean up, and then lures you back into your body from the weird, floaty world of subspace with soft touches and sweet praises. he'll get you snacks afterwards if you need them, and do just about anything you'll ask - from reading a book out-loud so you can listen to his voice, to granting you another orgasm if needed.

for the record if y'all want deets about how he is with a brat or an obedient submissive, someone needs to bite the bullet and send the ask, otherwise this post is gonna extend into forever

[stumbling-towards-the-light]

Real talk for a second: why the fuck is one of Saera's sons in Westeros?

Is it hilarious that Jaehaerys' bastard grandson by the daughter he exiled claimed his dragon, Vermithor? Yes, it is and I can feel the Old King turning in his grave.

However, it makes no goddamn sense.

For those unaware, Saera Targaryen was exiled to a Mother House for sleeping around with her male favorites. She escaped the Mother House within a year and was next seen at a pillow house in Lys, still wearing her novice septa robes. The narrator of F&B then tells us that she proceeded to build an empire, using the pillow houses as her source of power, and essentially ruled over Volantis.

So why the fuck would her son be a dirt-poor small folk in King's Landing when his mother has a wholeass empire across the Narrow Sea!?

During the Great Council of 101, the council that crowned Viserys over Rhaenys, F&B mentions that three of Saera Targaryen's bastard sons put forth their claims for the Iron Throne. They mainly pushed their claims by attempting to bribe the lords of Westeros with various gems and riches that their mother had amassed by ruling Volantis.

If Hugh Hammer is meant to be one of these sons, I repeat my question: why the fuck is he over here, living a small folk's life, when his mother is a fucking queen!?!? It has been a literal lifetime since the Great Council, Saera's line has fully lost the chance to rule Westeros by a long shot, so that can't be the reason.

Hugh Hammer also can't be Saera's son by one of her male favorites that got her exiled. Jaehaerys would most definitely have pulled a Hoster Tully and forced moon tea down her throat to ensure she wouldn't carry the pregnancy to term. Even if by some miracle, she was allowed to carry the child to term, the baby would've been sent away to be raised as a septon, rather than be let loose in King's Landing.

Not to mention, going by that possibility, Hugh Hammer would've been born in 84 or 85 AC and the current year is 129 AC. Hugh would be pushing 45 at that point in time, far past prime fighting days, especially when his primary weapon is a war hammer. Not to mention, the only reason he had any support during his failed bid for the crown was because of his martial prowess. Something that doesn't fit when the man is in his mid 40s.

In short, if you think about it for more than one second, Hugh Hammer being Saera's son makes no fucking sense.

Ugh i love your writing pt2…. Literally on my toes after i sent my anon sry im a lil shy 🥺

You might!! have mentioned it before but do u think sohee wld love to have boobs in his mouth constantly. He has the lips for it. He’ll just wake up or go to sleep suckling away like some kind of baby…… and although im not entirely fond of the mommy kink but with him tho?? I’d make an exception. He probably called you mommy once on accident with a wholeass boob in his mouth and yall wld just. Stare at each other. Even if you’re working on your laptop he’ll just sit on your lap and BAM boob in mouth. If he’s lazy he’ll just slip his head underneath your top. Yeah…. Did i mention he has the lips for it? because he has the nicest lips ever i want to pinch it for some reason ^_^

-🐙!!

i am 100% a sohee boob lover truther, and he definitely has the nicest most perfect lips for it. he always has to have your boobs in his mouth, he could have the worst day ever but the minute you two are in bed and he gets to lift up your shirt to suck away at your tits, all of his worries are out of his mind. i feel like sohee definitely has some sort of mommy kink, he started saying it as a joke but then he ended up actually liking it and so did you. he just wants to be a good boy for you and he's so content on just having you in his mouth even if you're not touching him. also i think he would try to make you cum just from him sucking on your nipples since he feels like he could play with them for hours.

i humbly request knowledge of the oc / canon ship you have with affogato if it isn't too private

omg sure!

the oc x canon is actually with my girlie Malt Choco (shocker, I know since I've shown her multiple times here)

like I have doodles of them going wayyyy back to 2022 kuyjdgsxzfkdxf

❧ So BASICALLY they are a bi4bi disasters that would rather die than let go of each other, especially when they are literally three days apart in age lmao

❧ They were briefly childhood friends who hadn't seen each other in 15ish years (post for another day or else this would be a novel) after which she finds him in a forest injured after a certain incident with a moon rabbit wink wonk

❧ They both got some shit to go through so they are both simultaneously and mutually "I can fix them" and "I can make them worse"

here's a doodle of them ,kdxcjhfgvdgv

gonna add extra tidbits and a "my ship in 5 mins" UTC because now I'm GETTING SHY

❧ due to the connection they had as children, affo sees her in a different light compared to others, and that's where he can get a wee bit obsessed (I alluded to it in another post)

❧ You know how bad it is when the one who did a wholeass coup is the sane one since the other STILL has no sense of preservation (she had older twin brothers where one gave her an axe to play with one time as a kid and he's still not over it)

❧ has used her leg to smack him "buzz lightyear throwing his arm at woody" style when he's being a bit too mean, balance be damned

❧ She was the "excuse me he asked for no pickles" as a kid due to him having been the shyest child you've ever met. She finds it hilarious the way he tries to be his usual confident asshole self when she knows exactly what buttons to press to fluster him.

❧ Unfortunately for the hollyberrian village she resided in, they are an absolute menace when together

HE HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES

this doodle was made before I redesigned her prosthetic leg and her dress slightly lxdghvlcdxkfgv

OKAY BYE TY FOR INDULGING ME IN LETTING ME YAP A BIT ABOUT MY POOKIES

[sunken-standard]

This is going to make me sound like more of an asshole than I usually am, but I am so, so tired of people under 30.

(wow this rant is long so more under the cut)

Like, my old therapist left her job a couple months ago and I got assigned a new one (and they won't let me change because it's some bullshit policy or something, like you can only change therapists a certain number of times ever; it's not my goddamn fault they have a high turnover and I've had 5 different therapists in as many years because they move on to other jobs), and I don't know how old she is exactly, but I can tell she's young.

I don't have anything against young people as a whole, and having self confidence is good and all that, but Jesus fuck, when somebody tells you they've done everything ever suggested to them (by a professional or read in an actual paper book or just saw on the internet, whatever) for well over 25 years, stop trying to suggest goddamn apps or teensplaining dietary choices. Fuu-huuuck allll the way off.

This has been eating at me since yesterday, and I'm so yuck about it because I have to keep talking to her, I don't have a choice in the matter or else I'll be dropped by the practice and lose access to my medication. I tried to very gently explain to her why her advice wasn't helpful to me and she literally just repeated herself, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And then, on top of that, I've been reading a lot of fic lately and wow has the quality gone down across the board. Beta readers are a thing of the past, as is grammar [grinded is not a fucking word at all you numpties, the word you're looking for is ground, ffs the American public school system has really failed us all]* and the same exact visuals and tropes almost copy-pasted from some universal outline of how XYZ pairing is meant to interact--I just can't. (I am so very tired of that anime-inspired string of spit between lips or dick) And fact-checking or research? Why bother, they'll get the kudos either way, right?

I mean, I don't have a lot of day-to-day contact with, well, anybody under the age of 75, but... I dunno. I'm having a lot of "well, in MY day" feelings about just about everything. I don't want to be a Karen about anything, but I just feel like everyone's phoning it in all across the board and I'm just tired (don't get me started on service industry jobs; I know they're garbage but manners are goddamn free, learn to eat shit with a smile like the rest of us had to).

So yeah, anyway (old woman shakes fist at cloud.jpeg)

*this doesn't count for ESL writers, English isn't easy and to write a wholeass story in your nonnative language is way, way more than I could ever do, keep on doing amazing sweeties)

[feathered-serpents]

DUDE I THOUGHT YOU HAD SO MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU ACTUALLY DO, YOUR ART IS INCREDIBLE!!! what resources did you use to learn to draw??

Hey!! Thank you!!

So the main "teaching tools" I used were the Morpho books, all of them, they're INCREDIBLY useful so google them immediately. As well as the YouTube channel of the artist Ethan Becker. Honest to god he taught me SO MUCH about shape language, anatomy, sketching, expressions, and color. He's a professional animator and it shows.

I would suggest starting with his video on how to draw heads because the method he used there literally changed my wholeass life. I swear by it. And everything else he teaches is just as good

Beyond that, over the past year I've developed these mindsets

Use References

And I don't just mean put the picture next to the screen and try to draw it, I mean straight up do this

Now there are a LOT of people out there that think this is a "bad" technique, and to this DAY I still feel insecure about using this technique for that reason. But you'll discover that professionals do this all the time and it WILL help you learn anatomy if you want to get better at freehand! Otherwise, it just saves so much time spent agonizing over the base and you can go straight into actually drawing what you want to. (Also this pose is by AdorkaStock and their references are literally the best you can find. They have EVERYTHING. Their Patreon is only $5 a month and you get access to their entire backlog, it is WELL worth it)

Speaking of drawing what you want to

Just Go For It

If you want to draw something, but don't know how, or think it's beyond your skill level, just go for it. It is the only way to REACH that skill level. Yes it is frustrating to draw something that doesn't work out the way you hoped, but in the end, that's better than not drawing it at all

Also If YOU Don't Know How to Draw It, Someone Else Does

So look them up and see what they're doing. If you're struggling with a pose, a piece of clothing, a facial expression, fucking HANDS anything, look up your favorite artist and see how they do it. Don't just look at the piece, zoom in on the part you want to emulate and see where they put the lines, the shadows, the details, and how they make it relate to the rest of the drawing. Literally STUDY OTHER ARTISTS you will learn SO much more doing that than just looking at photos

Lastly

Your Style, Stop Worrying About It

Just draw how you want to draw and that's your style. Obviously, it's fine to deliberately put in some flares or stylization choices, but make sure it's FUN for you. When you're drawing what you WANT you will find your style almost instantly. I remember when my friend first told me "I LOVE your art style" and I was so confused because I thought I didn't HAVE an art style. I was just drawing how I wanted to.

Turns out! That's what an art style is!

I hope this was somewhat helpful! Obviously, I have LOADS of more learning to do having only been at this for a year. Take all of this with a pinch of salt, and good luck!

jupiter academy dynamics

-the dog ate my homework excuse but its jason grace and the rest of the wolf house kids. worst part is that it probably happened at least once in elementary school. continues to happen into middle/high

-the centurions have a secret alliance wherein they hold monthly meetings for “official stuff” when in reality theyre getting pizza and complaining about their cohorts. yes theres still the dick measuring contest of “hrhbhbhbr fifth cohort fucking sucks and first has a HUGE schlong” but its mostly just light ribbing between centurions.

-however in the dining hall there will be wholeass fights cause marcus from the 2nd cohort said gracie’s hair fits the 4th cohort and gracie just got out of wolf house training so shes tearing into marcus, and its escalating into a giant food fight and the student body praetors have given up on trying to control the situation. the students can have a little tearing and maiming. as a treat. for enrichment.

-i do think the highlight of the day is the lunch food, in stark and heavy contrast to most schools. they get good food as a treat.

-cohort rivalries are super serious until theyre not. as in gracie and marcus might be trying to kill each other on the track field but also they WILL help each other cheat during deathball because fucking ANTHONY from the 1st cohort said marcus’s mom sucks and well. declaration of war.

-jason has very few friends in the school because everyone THINKS hes a legendary lone wolf that people shouldnt approach lest they dare break his solitude, but in reality hes just like “:[ i want to talk to someone that isnt reyna at lunch. please”. and also because in elementary he bit people.

-the dorms work with four people per room and a big ol shared bathroom. gwen, dakota, jason, and marcus all are roommates :]

-student body praetors get their own rooms though, because unlike student body presidents, they have a much harder job (trying to wrangle like 100+ rowdy magic kids)

-one of the history teachers (covers both greco roman and modern history + demigod interventions) does 20 questions wherein students have 20 questions to figure out what major news story they chose to talk about. those days are chaos, because everyone wants to beat the other cohorts. everyones huddled up and going “OKAY its either about the new pope, or the fifth mass shooting, or supreme justice shithead decided to be racist publicly, lets figure out our questions”.

-same for finals

-the cram culture in jupiter academy is fucking insane. a majority of them have adhd so its hundreds of panicked demigods all huddled together in the lounge rooms of their respective dorms desperately trying to figure out what they need to know and doing trivia flash cards and shit. theyre literally pulling all nighters for something they couldve paced themselves out for because. adhd lmao. lol even.

-bacchus kids and legacies make insane drink mixes for finals week that consists of red bull, monster energy, unknown energy drinks, caffeine pills, and just a drop of nectar. they sell it for like. 20 dollars. they sell out each year.

more to come when i have some fucking time! thoughts, onions, etc

Moon Day 29 in Leo／New Moon

day’s V I B E �� 6 of Cups

Conventionally, the 29th moon day is considered a hard day. Energies are tricky and emotions are messy. A lot of people find it hard to cope with the last surges of energies that are waning with the Moon. And of course, it being a New Moon, many people find this day to be a spiritually and emotionally taxing day!

Like already mentioned previous New Moon, a lot of people find this period exhausting because there’s a lot of stagnant energy that needs to go out which they do not know how to manage. It’s like detoxification, it’s uncomfortable but if you’ve prepared for it, the process can feel more natural, right? Yeah, simple like that actually.

That’s why on New Moons, basically all you need to do is rest and eat a lot, and then clean your space. Both spiritual and physical cleaning are important! It’s a period to maintain the cleanliness of your personal space, so get moving. Make a habit out of it.

So that’s a general message for members of the public who are still learning to manage energies.

But looking at this 6 of Cups on this Leo New Moon, there’s a different perspective to all of this. Like literally, those of you who have worked on your inner spirituality for a more balanced psychology, you will find that today feels very easy breezy on an emotional level.

I think it’s very likely you will feel like you’re totally claiming positive aspects of your old Life. Gathering pieces of your authenticity, your innocence returned to guide you towards a future of your desires more courageously and expectantly. Honestly, you’ve worked so hard on yourself you deserve a wholeass cherry pie🥧

Things can ONLY get better from here, babe. A glamorous future is yours for the taking! Leo knows that more than anybody else!🦁🌚✨

‘There is a magical pool of abundance and prosperity somewhere in the wilderness of the Cosmos. I close my eyes and dream of faraway places far more magnificent than Earth Reality. I love what I see, what I know, and I embrace the vibes of this new Reality. When I open my eyes, I gladly endeavour to bring pieces of that new Reality to Earth. I am a magical co-creator of my own personal reality. There is luxury to be made in this frequency. I take care of my own frequencies. I hope for others to be inspired by my authenticity.’
