merlin pokemon au where arthur collects the knights instead of pokemons.

[tothepointofinsanity]

Idk if this will make sense, but out of all the artists that could be the sole creator of all of the Greener Grass Awaits fanart I’ve seen im glad it’s you, your art style is like bang on in terms of the vibes that come off of that game. Sorry that this was a super long winded way of saying “your art is really sick dude” lol

Ah, thank you very much ^^ I am glad to see that there are still people coming into these niche spaces looking for fanworks of this game.

I personally think if the ‘pool’ of artists who pick up the game were to expand, we would also get even more cool things to look at! I feel slightly guilty of spam posting about Greener Grass Awaits since if anyone were to open the tag, 90% of the stuff is from me, and half of it ain’t even art that’s always too nice to look at…but it’s still flattering every time someone likes my art of this game, truly.

Anyways, in terms of vibes, I am inspired by the game developer (yatoimtop) because his art style both in and outside the creation of the game is really neat. Whenever I draw for it, I want to make it feel as “in character” for the game as it can be, although most days I just go by whatever I feel because it’s fun to see what weird things will be produced. Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)

Thank you for the ask!

Sorry for spam liking half of your promethea tag SHFJKSKFK but I saw one of your posts come up bc I follow the spec evo tag, and I’m intrigued!! I have no clue what’s going on over there, I didn’t see a summary in as far as I scrolled — what’s the story with that world?

AEIFHUJA youre all good i was sleeping anyway! i dont mind spam liking !!

oh god yeah i never have posted a summary of wtf is going on have i. i just draw random shit LOL. ok lemme try to say all this without taking forever. um before i start i want to mention that im making the story with my friend who isnt on tumblr! i do most of the worldbuilding for promethea itself (and the creature design for all of cassandra) and they are in charge of another group of people who are pretty important lol. theres a LOT going on, so im just gonna focus on the main thing for now but if you want to know EVERYTHING then i can go over it all lmao

the story focuses on dawn (friend's character) who used to be a part of a group of sun god worshippers that were in charge of guarding the prison of a dragon named cinder. dawn was going to be the next warden/priest and in charge of keeping the prison secure, but a follower of cinder broke in and killed almost everyone there when dawn was a young child. they escaped when a wolf named theo led them to safety. afterwards, they were found and taken in by the king of promethea, jack. after a while, dawn realizes that something is wrong with him. hes being possessed, and its by the god of death. no one else is aware of this, since its been going on since he was a child and hes "himself" most of the time. however, as time goes on, its getting worse and worse and dawn starts looking for a way to help him. during their search, they find a woman named anuba, who strangely enough is looking for the same thing. well pretty quickly they realize that they both know jack, him and anuba being partners when they went to school together. so they start working together. unfortunately this sort of thing doesnt really. happen. ever. and they keep coming up with dead ends.

eventually one of them (not sure who yet, this bitch of a story is still a work in progress <3) comes up with the idea of calling on the sun god for help. the important thing here is that this god isnt the god of the sun, shes the god of damn everything. shes represented by the sun because of how powerful she is. the problem with her is since she's so huge and powerful, getting her attention is nearly impossible, even for someone like dawn who came from a group of her worshippers. anuba suggests letting the dragon whos locked up, cinder, out, since this god was the one who locked cinder up. dawn doesnt like the idea since cinder was locked up after she attempted to destroy all of cassandra, but they dont have many other options. anuba, who's desperate for literally any solution at this point, gets frustrated and goes off on her own to let cinder out anyway.

cinder is free.

now, there are two pieces of information that have been hidden from everyone up until this point. one, cinder is not just a dragon, she is a god, and she is the god who created cassandra. and two, cinder and the god that has been possessing jack are working together, and have been since the beginning. and jack is the one who killed the sun worshippers.

at this point, jack is beyond saving. hes too far gone and basically dead. his body is being used by the death god and when dawn returns, it attempts to kill them and theyre forced to finally kill him. dawn and anuba end up working together again, this time to kill cinder.

and yeah thats it. the ending is a bit rough cuz like i said its still a work in progress and jesus H christ this is so goddamn long already i need to fucking stop i hope this makes sense sorry for taking literally all day to answer its bc im atrocious at writing and it kept getting confusing LOL. theres a bunch of important shit ive left out bc of. the length. so if you have questions pls ask them

[lovelive-mysme-project]

Love Live! as Mystic Messenger Remake

Now that my nice hacker theme is ready, here we go!

So because i love mysme almost half as much as i adore love live, i have always thought it would be awesome to remake mystic messenger using the characters from love live (u’s, specifically)

I’m getting more serious about it, so I decided to make this blog to organize thoughts and progress.

I’ll put the rest of the details under a cut so this post doesn’t get obscenely long, so thanks for reading and if you’re interested, please message me!!

The characters corresponding so far goes like this:

Zen: Nico

Yoosung: Hanayo

You might notice that Rin doesn’t have a place in this AU. Therefore, I’m thinking of adjusting Yoosung’s route to make it platonic between Hanayo and MC, and maybe make it a RinPana shipping route, and kind of combine Rin and Hanayo into Yoosung’s character, somehow...? The story of his route will take quite a bit of adjusting if this ends up happening, so if you have any thoughts don’t hesitate to send them!!

Jaehee: Eli

Jumin: Maki

Seven: Honoka

Saeran: Chika (get it? since they’re basically twins since chika is such a copy-paste honk) (not that im hating i love my mikan daughter)

V: Nozomi

Vanderwood: Umi + Kotori (Honoka’s moms)

There’s no Vanderwood route in the game but if this project does go to completion for all the other canon routes I would absolutely love to make a “Vanderwood” route for these two

I really like this setup, but if anyone has other ideas I’m totally willing to hear them! I’ll probably leave Rika as is since she tends to get a lot of hate and although I really like her as a character I don’t want to upset anyone by associating their best girl with a character who does so many... bad things...

Other than the characters changing, the basic plot and story of the game will remain the same, it will just be a sort of AU. An important thing to note is that, except for the potential changes to Yoosung’s route like I mentioned above, everything will basically be the same, just copy/paste from the actual game, changing the character’s names and genders, and maybe a few minor adjustments if I think they’re worth it. I’d say I want to fix all the plot holes in mysme but I don’t think it’s possible at this point. MC will remain a girl in the CGs, but I’d love to be able to allow the user to input their gender and pronouns to use them in the chatrooms and VNs.

So as far as what has to be done, I have a basic idea of what I want to do and what I’ll definitely need help with:

I’m using Ren’py as the engine to make the game, so I need to learn how to use it and code the actual game mechanics

The GUI has to be designed and edited to look as much like MysMe as possible. I don’t think it’ll be able to be exactly like the mysme app, but i can probably get it pretty similar

This is where the real work begins, lol

All of the chatrooms and VNs need to be transcribed and edited to have the names of the Love Live characters. I’m not going to include the “missed” chatrooms, the player will just be able to go through all of it at once and they’ll be included in everything.

The character sprites from SIF need to be edited to have the outfits from MysMe. It’s really only important for Saeran/Unknown, but I’d also like to change Eli and Maki to be wearing business formal clothes, and I’d like Honoka to have Seven’s outfit since it’s so iconic. Also, Umi and Kotori would have to wear secret agent clothes when we do Seven’s route, but that probably won’t happen for awhile, and I don’t know how everyone else feels, but I’d like to give Kotori credit for being a bit more fashionable than Vanderwood and their leopard print mixed with purple leather jacket...

Big one: the CGs need to be redrawn with Love Live characters. If anyone is willing to help out and draw a few because they’re just interested in this project, that would be amazing. Other than that, if there’s someone who is confident that they could imitate either the Mystic Messenger art style, or the Love Live style (either the anime or the SIF cards art), or has a nice, clean style, I’d love to commission them. In addition, if this ends up happening and an artist who is really good with imitating the style takes our commissions for this, I would also take donations to help out from anyone who is interested. Of course, I won’t accept any money until I’m absolutely sure it’s going to happen, and the only thing left to do is the drawing. All of the donations will go 100% to funding the commissions, I’m not trying to make money from this, I just want it to happen and have satisfying quality!!

Like I said above, the story for Yoosung’s route (and perhaps others) will have to be changed if we go along with my original idea. If you aren’t able to contribute by drawing, editing sprites, or transcribing, I’d love to just have people who are willing to talk about the plot changes and help me work out any plot holes and various problems. If you’re interested in helping with that, or just talking about this AU, I made a discord server that you can join here: https://discord.gg/58cYzmb

So that’s about it! If you have any questions, send an ask here or on my main blog @juna1lens Thanks for reading!

(about to do some ungodly tag spam, this is the only time I’ll do it so I’m sorry in advance!! Just to get the word out about this project for people who follow various tags)

[noxiim]

(1/3)Okayyyy so i mightve sent a few asks abt this before but this topic is really now bugging me cuz i have depression and im sensitive to like everything. Im starting to take this "not getting notes on my art" thing really personally and i know it sounds childish (and i laugh at myself for it) but i cant help but get upset when i spend so much time and effort and get like no feedback. And i know people say not to draw what u love and not for attention but honestly i dont even know what

and i dont even know if im drawing what ilike sometimes. Yeah i love bts but i dont know if i like what im drawing or ifim just doing it for notes???? And i have a lot of anxiety too and thats wherei feel like im taking this too personally. Cuz im starting to think that my artdoesnt get notes cuz its straight up not good which leads me to think ishouldnt even try to pursue a career in art anymore. But im not good atanything else so wtf am i gonna do if i dont succeed in art???? Like i said i laugh at myself for thinking like this and iprobably sound like a fuckin child but i cant help it???? Like i think my artis decent???? But maybe its not???? Idk like this was really hitting me todaycuz i feel like im wasting so much time and im probably gonna be one of thosepoor college students cuz i decided to focus on art more rather than taking ajob cuz i thought i could make money off of my art but yknow clearly its notgoing so well and im scared for my future U dont have to give advice to all of that i just needed tolet that all out 

Aw dude don’t worry I get what you mean,I actually experienced something similar when I first started posting my art totumblr, and even recently when I first started posting bts fanart. It’sperfectly normal to want recognition (in this case in the form of notes) forsomething you worked so hard on!! I think one of the major issues with postingto such a big fandom such as bts though is that there’s so many peopleproducing content at any given time, that it’s incredibly easy to get drownedout. Especially since tumblr changed how search and track tagging worked, itmade it that much harder for people to get noticed for their content.

When I first switched to drawing for bts,I found it hard because I also focused a lot on my note count. For someone whowas originally well established in a previous fandom, the move to bts was quitea jarring experience. I had built my following on tf2 art, and used toconsistently get a couple hundred notes, but one of main reasons why I left wasbecause of the dwindling of note counts. When I first left, overwatch had justcome out and a lot of attention shifted towards that game away from tf2, andalthough I still love the game, the dramatic decrease in notes on my art fortf2 really made me sad and I ended up deciding to leave the fandom after 3years of drawing tf2 art. I hopped around a bit, before eventually getting intobts. Even then, my first few pieces (they’re not on my #bts fanart tag so mostpeople wouldn’t have ever seen them) either got no notes at all or only two orthree. It was easier for me to establish myself in a fandom such as tf2 back inthe day since it was such a small, tight knit community with limited contentcreators, but now with bts there are so many more people and it just seemedhopeless for a while and I lost motivation in my art. I stopped wanting todraw, since it felt like nobody cared. Art is the biggest hobby I have, solosing my confidence in my art was crushing.

Now you might be wondering how I got towhere I am today. I’ll be completely honest with you. For me, I highly doubt Iwould be anywhere near where I am if it weren’t for networks. I had neverjoined a network before, but decided to join armiesnet and jimin network one daywhen I saw that applications were open. I got accepted, and I joined theirrespective group chats too. I met lots of great people on those chats, and madea lot of new friends which was nice after having moved fandoms and lost touchwith many previous mutuals. I’m so glad I joined networks, because not only doyou have the chance to make mutuals who will support you and your art, thenetwork blog itself also reblogs all its members’ content which gives youexposure to members of the network through both the network tag and through thedashboard. It’s a perfect way to get started, rather than hoping that somebodywith a decent following will happen to stumble across your work in the tags oneday and reblog it.

That being said, unless you’re like somesort of godly human being I don’t think we can ever get over how note countsfeel as an artist. We need something to gauge people’s response to our art, andthat tends to default to note counts. I can assure you that the feeling of disappointmentwhen your post doesn’t get as many notes as you want/expected it to is a thingpretty much all artists on this site shares. People always say “you should drawfor yourself, not for other people” but that’s the equivalent of like say themona lisa being painted and then left to rot in Da Vinci’s closet or something.The whole point of art is sharing your ideas/love for something through yourdrawings with other people, and so it’s perfectly normal to want therecognition you deserve for working so hard and putting so much love into yourcraft. When it feels like you’re all alone, you have to remember not to giveup. Creating art in such a big fandom can be unforgiving, but just rememberthat your art is never the one at fault. It’s all about finding that littlegolden window of exposure, whether it be through one big blog or a couplesmaller blogs reblogging your work. Those kind few people will be what helpsyou grow, and you have to keep posting for that to happen. If you water a plantbut it doesn’t bloom the next day, abandoning it will get you nowhere. If youjust keep going, keep watering it, results will come. Keep reminding yourselfthat you’re doing well, and you can compare older art to your current art tosee the progress and keep you motivated. Don’t force yourself to draw if youaren’t feeling it – art is something that should make you happy. I used to drawbecause I felt the pressure to put out content, but that just resulted in mefalling into a negative spiral of art block, limited motivation and generalunhappiness with my art as a result. Remember that there’s no such thing as adeadline when it comes to posting art on tumblr – work at whatever pace suitsyou and if anybody tries to rush you, shut them down. You’re the artist, youget to choose what you do with your art, how you do it, and how long you spendon it.

If you truly have your sights set onbecoming an artist full time, then by all means go for it! I can’t give muchadvice in that area since I only plan on keeping art as a hobby, but justremember that art school is always optional. In the end, working as an artistis all about the portfolio, not where you graduated from. It’s more importantto work on your art than it is to get in to an amazing art school. Sure, artschools can be useful, but in the end they are simply tools, sort of like atutorial rather than something that will magically turn you into an amazing artistwith amazing job offers. At the end of the day, it’s all up to yourself to workhard and promote yourself. Since art is all about reaching different audienceswith your work, promoting yourself is essential, even if it’s just casualfanart on tumblr. Feedback can’t come without exposure, and exposure can’t comewithout self-promotion.

Lastly, remind yourself that there’s nosuch thing as ‘bad art’. That might sound like a stupid statement, but inreality art is a constantly changing thing. There is no pinnacle of perfection,no model artwork that represents the most perfect drawing out there. Everyonehas different styles, everyone has different approaches, and most importantly,everyone is still improving. I’m still learning and trying to improve my ownart, and there’s no shame in that. It’s easy to perceive someone else’s art asbetter than yours which would lead to some self-critical thoughts, but you haveto remember that the other artist is probably looking at their own art andpicking it apart, thinking “aw man there are so many mistakes here.” It’s fineto make mistakes, after all, that’s how we learn. Just because we see mistakesin our own art doesn’t mean that everyone else will too – nobody looks at artand their first thought is to list all of the mistakes present. As long as youare aware of what you are less confident in and actively work to improve it,you can quickly surpass even the people you look up to.

So yeah, sorry that this is hella longlol, but in all honestly I can understand what you’re going through. It’seasier said than done, but even though it might feel hard - don’t give up. Youmight feel like you’re not getting anywhere at the moment but I assure you thatif you just keep going, things will only get better. That’s the thing abouttumblr, if you keep posting art your audience can only grow. For now, I would definitelyrecommend joining some networks, and making some friends. It’s not uncommon forpeople to promo their own work in the network chat occasionally, as long as youdon’t spam haha

Anywho, I wish you the best of luck withyour art journey. If you need me you know where to find me 💕💕💕

[franeridart]

you saying baku's laugh is loud and explosive.... MY HEART IM WEAK TO MY KNEES

I can’t imagine him openly and genuinely laughing in any other way, anon! He’s a boy that demands attention in everything he does haha

Anon said:Do you think if Tamaki ate enough butterflies he could turn himself into a fairy basically?

You mean if he could grow butterfly wings, right? I think he’d only need to eat one tbh!

Anon said:what do you think bout the delinquent kirishima theory

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I like how it’s written out and the general idea behind it isn’t too baseless, and given how everyone who’s got a past in bnha has a sad past one way or another I wouldn’t be too surprised if it were true, but whether or not I think it’s true I still can’t say... might be, might not, I’d prefer it if it weren’t but who knows!

Anon said:what are ur thoughts/beliefs on who the traitor might be? student or teacher? also, ur art is hella cute. u have blessed my life. bless ur soul. the way u draw kirishima and his stupid face is killin me slowly, too precious.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I guess I still haven’t changed my mind about it being Tsukauchi  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anon said:Hello I just want to thank you for putting your adorable and amazing art everyday! You are the only blog I check daily because you upload stuff so frequently and I don't want to miss any of your gems! I just wanna say how much I appreciate it! Keep up the stellar work and I can't wait to see what you post next!

AAAHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! HOLY SMOKES!!!!!! *O*

Anon said:I hope Ashido knows I love her with my whole heart!!!!!!! Speaking of Ashido, d'you hc her being closer (like friends-wise) with Kiri or Kami (or about the same?) I love ur art btw keep up the amazing work!!!!!!

I’M SURE SHE KNOWS!!!!!!! And thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, it’s a personal headcanon I have that Mina and Kiri are childhood friends (they went to the same middle school!!), so her relationship with him out of the whole squad is gonna be a little bit different, but she loves all her boys equally! She has a lot in common with Kaminari so she especially enjoys his company, it’s like they’re on the exact same wavelenght on a lot of things.......... that said her best friend is still Hagakure, so! The special place is filled by her already haha

Anon said:The world needs more MiriTama. I love the art you did of them!

Don’t worry anon, more will come for sure!! :D

Anon said:Thank you for existing. 💗 Send this to 10 people who you think deserve a sweet and kind message in their inbox 💗💗💗 (really sorry if this is spam but it's genuine)

It’s not spam!!!! don’t worry!!!! Thank you so much for thinking about me!!!!!!

Anon said:Your blog is freaking magical and I live for all the Bakushimanari & Haikyuu you have here. ♡ Thank youuu for your continued existence to bring light into our tiny shipper hearts~☆!

Thank you!!!! Holy gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *O*

Anon said:Someone wrote a fic where tamaki gave mirio a bj and accidentally manifested his power you might like it

.................this isn’t a suggestion I ever thought I’d get but THANK YOU I’ll check it out asap (somehow it never occurred to me to go check their tag on ao3 before.... shameful)

Anon said:I know you don't take requests, so this obviously isn't one. But I headcanon Bakugou and Kiri brushing their teeth together and just like the rest of the squad being wtf at how many toothbrushes they both destroy (Bakugou bc he brushes so hard and Kiri bc shark teeth... their dentists must hate them both). If it's a suggestion you'd like to draw, yay!, but mostly I just thought you might get a laugh out of the thought lol

I love this???????????? So much????????????? holy shit???????????? I’m pretty sure Mina destroys her fair share of toothbrushes too when she isn’t careful I’m yelling one day they’ll share an apartment and one whole cabinet in theit bathroom is gonna be just spare toothbrushes it’s gonna be amazing I love this I’m keeping this headcanon forever

Anon said:Omg YES Aizawa is a way better role model for Bakugou. When All Might says they neglected Bakugou, Aizawa's face is just so "jfc no shit you moron." I want Bakugou to intern under Aizawa after he gets his provisional license because he can learn so much from him. I am 100% positive that when the kids all graduate, he's going to be the student who specifically gets an "I'm proud of you" from Aizawa and I will cry all the happy years I have.

If he gets an “I’m so proud of you” both I and Bakugou will die rip gone forever I’d love it so much............. anyway I don’t think he can intern under Aizawa, actually, and given that he’s his teacher it might maybe be a waste of an occasion to work with different people and learn from different voices? After all Deku didn’t intern under All Might haha

Anon said:Oh my gosh! I never even thought of the whole Aizawa becoming Bakugou's role model before, but I love that idea so much! You really are right! Out of all the adults, Aizawa is definitely the one who understands and pays the most attention to Bakugou! Thank you for bringing that up!!!

You’re!!!! Most welcome!!!!!!!!! I adore the relationship Aizawa has with Bakugou, honestly - he’s a good teacher and a great man so you can actually see him paying attention to all his students (it’s particularly blatant and obvious in Yaoyorozu’s case as well, once, and he does have an eye out specifically to stop any kind of bullshit Deku might get himself into lately), but with Bakugou it’s shown again and again, probably because no one else seems to show any in-depth interest for him at all? As far as adults go, at least, so you notice it more when someone does pay attention to him. Every time Aizawa defends him or takes note of his mood worsening or acts to make him grow and settle things and heal or whenever he believes in him and trusts him - and whenever Bakugou nods and apologizes and accepts his advices and critics and trusts him back, I die a lot, that’s so great orz

Anon said:I love Bakugou fans online because they're always like "aw his hair is all flicking upwards with the force of his rage, what a cutie"

Bakugou is super cute, after all! In the same way a big feline ready to attack is. Deadly cute. I love him.

Anon said:Fran! I had a dream that Bakugou died and it might have been the worst nightmare of my life Kiri was so sad and it was,, honestly terrible

Oh my god D: *holds you* that honestly sounds so terrible ;;;A;;;

Rules for mobile users

[[here’s a google doc for the updated list of rules, applicable for all my blogs]]

anything under this cut is from my outdated rules.

[rules updated: 07/28/2019]

–STUFF YOU SHOULD DO–

• No godmodding. No sending (implied or explicit) homophobic/transphobic/bigoted messages to me or my character either.

• Please don’t over-pester me for replies. I promise I’ll get to them. Feel free to drop me a reminder after at least a week of no replies, though. In return, I usually give you a week too, unless otherwise specified in your own rules, until I remind you if it’s your turn to reply (or more often, I chicken out and trust that you’ll eventually respond/want to drop it and end up never bringing up that particular thread ever again). You’re always free to start multiple threads with me, that is greatly encouraged because I love having lots of threads with people.

• If you start getting bored with the roleplay, feel free to drop it and/or end it. We can always start up another thread in the future.

• However, please let me know if you want to drop a roleplay thread! It can give me major anxiety when I’m waiting for a response that’s never going to come, and I wonder if I did something wrong and assume that’s why you’re not replying anymore :’) I’m not forcing you to let me know if you want to drop a thread, you can drop it without saying anything too. But I personally really appreciate being told about that sort of thing.

• Don’t reblog a thread you’re not part of. This should go without being said, of course.

• If you can trim your threads, please do! It’s fine if you can’t, though, because I will most likely trim the thread for you. If you don’t trim threads with other people, however, I’ll be less likely to follow you since I don’t like scrolling through long posts.

• Please don’t claim any of my art as your own. I prefer if you don’t repost any of my art without asking me first. All of my icons are also created by me using my art.

• That being said, if you’re following me, please let me know if I’m doing something that’s making you uncomfortable or is breaking one of your rules!! I do read the rules pages of everyone, but I’m human and forget things, and I’m not a mind reader either ;~; I care, so please tell me if I’m doing anything bad

• You can reply to any of my open starters at any time! Even if they’re a year old! Even if other people have already replied to it! My open starters are open for a reason, and we don’t have to be mutuals for you to reply to them either :’)

—

–STUFF YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND–

• I am of age to do smut rps, but I will not for this blog because Vinnie and his counterparts are all in closed relationships, and they are physically minors. There will occasionally be sex jokes, but that’s about it.

• I’m alright with roleplaying nsfw, minus smut. Gore, violence, and generally dark roleplays are cool with me. I love angsty things just as much as I love fluff ;w; Speaking of gore, you’re more than welcome to fight/harm/injure my muse to any extent! You don’t even have to ask! However, please read my headcanon post regarding pain and injuries, because my muses are ghosts and therefore work slightly differently when being injured than a regular living human.

• I prefer not to roleplay with personals, unless you are someone I know from school or something like that. Personals in general are allowed to follow me too! However! Personals are not allowed to reblog roleplays, in character posts, or ooc posts especially if I say in the tags that I’m going to delete the post later. Only things that are tagged with my “art tag” tags are okay to reblog. Headcanon posts are not okay to reblog unless I say otherwise.

• Like spamming is okay! I very occasionally lose roleplays, and getting lots of notes from likes are never a factor for that, for me personally. If I lose a roleplay, it’s mostly just because I forgot, so that’s really a “me” thing. I’m usually very good at keeping track of who I’m roleplaying with and how many ongoing threads I have, and I reply pretty consistently, so just remind me if I haven’t responded after five or more days (as stated in one of the above rules)! And I like it when people like my posts! It lets me know that you like my blog and the stuff I post, and it makes me happy :’)

• I’m pretty lenient with short replies. Don’t feel pressured to match the length if my reply gets long! Multi-para (usually 2-4 paragraphs) is my go-to for roleplays, so I usually do long replies by default.

• Adding onto that, I honestly don’t mind one-liners. Of course, in crack/online roleplays it’s fine but I’m okay with it in serious roleplays too. I prefer it if you don’t give me one-liners, but hey, as long as I’m still having fun with the roleplay anyway, it’s cool with me! I understand not being able to think of anything to write, so just as long as you don’t give me one or two words as your reply like ‘He smiled.’ or ’*laughs*’, I’ll be cool with it. Put at least some effort even if you’re only gonna give me one sentence, otherwise I’ll drop the rp once it becomes a repeat offense.

• I will not change the formatting of my roleplays to fit yours. I’m comfortable with sticking to only paragraph style roleplays for myself, thank you very much. It’s cool if you format, I think formatting can look nice sometimes. I will sometimes use icons, but I will not go all out with formatting my own posts with all that cool ‘small text’, and indents, and bolding and all that. The most I ever do with my formatting is italics for emphasis on certain words.

• I tend to move roleplays from asks onto its own post. If I send you an ask meme and you answer it, I’ll respond by making a new post, tagging you, and linking to your reply. Until formatting on asks are fixed, I will answer any asks sent to me in a new text post rather than asks.

• I accept any sort of asks! If they aren’t answered after a while, either I don’t know how to answer it or I might be drawing it out and I am a very slow artist- Sorry-

• Feel free to tag me in any of those tagging memes! I don’t mind and I think they’re pretty fun to do! ^^

• Adding onto the above rule, you’re more than welcome to send me those chain asks like “send this to 10 roleplayers you think are really great!” because it’s super duper nice that you would think to send one to me! But don’t expect me to send them to other people, because I won’t :’) my anxiety won’t let me, so I’m sorry-

• If I follow you, that means I’ve already read all of your rules. I have also read your About and Mun pages, if you have those as well. I might not send the codephrase, though, because most of the time I get anxious over having to send things like that. I’m very sorry–! But if I follow you, then chances are that I most likely have read them- If you choose not to trust me on this, I understand.

• I generally follow every rp blog that follows me, but I might not follow some people back for a few reasons. Some might be for the type of content you post on your blog, but I am still non-selective! I will roleplay with anyone who asks (unless you wanna rp gross things or you’re a mean person,,,, like your muse can be as much of a dick as you want, that’s no problem but don’t be gross to other people as yourself) and if I do roleplay with you, I will be more likely to follow you as well.

• Adding onto the above rule, however, please respect that it’s nothing personal if I ever unfollow you either! It’s not that I hate you or anything, but if you haven’t followed me back and you’re a private rp blog, or if we’re mutuals but never really roleplay, our muses just don’t click, you spam stuff that I don’t want to see on my dash, or you’ve become inactive for years and/or don’t interact with me anymore, there’s nothing wrong with that! We can still be friends but I prefer to have all the people I follow be potential rp partners. Feel free to follow me on my personal, Briightskies, if you still wanna keep in touch but not rp :’)

–ABOUT THIS BLOG–

• These are technically fandomless OCs, though they were integrated into the Hetalia world in a way (Vinnie’s boyfriend is Feli Vargas Jr. and Devon, Vincent, and Flint’s boyfriends are just Feli’s 1P, Opposite, and Opposite 1P counterparts respectively). That being said, I will most likely roleplay within the Undertale or Deltarune fandoms (yeah sorry, I’m not too into roleplaying in the Hetalia fandom lol, i’m just stealing the fandom’s AU concepts and running), but I am open to any muse, and other fandoms I am familiar with.

• I’ll also rp with fandoms I’m not into either, as long as you have a good about section for your character, which also indicates how you portray them (any headcanons or AUs you have that aren’t canon, or whether you portray them as canonly as possible, unless they’re OCs of course since a regular about page is a given) and I’ll probably look up other things about that fandom in its wiki if I don’t know what something is anyway.

• This blog is OC, multiverse, and crossover friendly! Multiple threads are also greatly encouraged, because I love having lots of threads with people!

• This blog is a single ship blog! All my muses already have boyfriends whom they all love very much and they do not want to get into relationships with other people

• I will tag common triggers and such, but don’t be afraid to tell me if you have something you want me to tag! I promise I’ll remember to tag it from then on. I do not have any known triggers myself. Any trigger warning tags will be written as “tw; ____” with a semi-colon, not a colon. If I feel like something should be tagged as a trigger but I’m not sure what to tag it exactly, I’ll just tag it as “tw” as a sort of catch-all tag.

Requested tagged triggers:

• tw; vore

• tw; age regression

• tw; jump scares

• tw; mental hospitals

• tw; spiders

• I will only talk through the IM system ooc. If you send me a message through there, I will not respond with ooc brackets ((these things)) because I will automatically assume you know that you are talking to the mun. I do not do roleplays on there.

-

Thank you for reading this really long list of rules! It means a lot if you did!

There’s no password, because I’m also anxious with those for other people’s blogs as I said above. But if you would like to interact with me, you can shoot me an ask directed to one of my muses, or like these posts at any time (also feel free to re-like those posts so I can make another starter for you at any time!) for me to write you a starter with Vinnie, Devon, Vincent, or Flint!

[franeridart]

OMFG FRAN! THAT LAST COMIC HAS ME DEAD. IM SO GLAD YOU DIDNT DROP IT ITS BEAUTIFUL ONE OF MY FAVOURITES EVER. THE SHADOWS AND LIGHTING ARE AMAZING WELL DONE. Sooooo cutttteeeee

Anon said:your last bakushima comic wasn't good for my poor shipper heart i'm sobbing now

Thank you both!!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so damn happy you guys liked it ohhhhh boi ;A;

Anon said:Hey fran, i have a request! Would you mind not putting asks under 'read more'? It's okay if you want to keep it that way-this i s a request- but i'm on mobile and it doesn't show me the asks under 'read more' and i really want to read your asks!

AH! It’s not like I’d mind, but the thing is that I don’t really use the readmore for myself? I just assume it’d be annoying for the people that follow me to have a post that long on their dash, so I cut it? But if for you guys it’s no trouble then sure, I guess! Can you all let me know what you’d prefer, maybe?

Anon said:I hope you don't mind it when I sometimes spam you with notes haha it's not my intention to be annoying but I just love your art so much

It’s not annoying at all!!! Why would it be, I’m glad you like my stuff enough for that!!! :D

Anon said:On one hand I like your comics and ideas. they are really rad tho but on the other it looks incomplete? lacking in diversity, anatomy and colors?

........................................might maybe be because I barely ever color anything and I’m always drawing the same two characters. Possibly.

That said, I’m happy you like my ideas! But anon, I’m really really sorry, but if you’re looking for complex art someone actually put effort and lots of time into, you’re in the wrong place - I’m perfectly aware my doodles are basic at best, but that happens to be a conscious choice on my side. There is a reason why my tag for my content is #my sketches - I don’t have the skills nor the interest in cultivating the skills to make something worth calling art, what I make are just doodles, stuff I make to relax and make myself happy? I don’t draw to be good at it, I draw cause I enjoy the act of it. 

If you’re looking for someone who’ll spend hours over modifying a character design and fitting seven hundred headcanons on them and that draws regularly a cast of a thousand different characters with just as many different emotions and scenarios and then makes a conscious effort of drawing everything as complex and diverse both in anatomy and tecnique itself or, I don’t know, whatever it is you’re looking for in the content you consume, then I assure you there’s a lot of better, proper artists out there in both the Haikyuu and BnHA fandoms you could be giving reblogs and notes and nice comments to!

Anon said:whats ur thoughts on the theory that denki could be the spy

I’ve talked extensively about it here already, but to make it short I really really don’t believe it. I don’t exclude the possibility of it turning out to be true in the end, who the hell knows, but as far as I’m concerned there’s nothing pointing in the direction of Kaminari being anything but a goofy and kinda moody kid trying to become the best hero he can manage 👍👍

Anon said:It is currently 1 am and it's been a DAY lol and I'd just like to thank you for having such lighthearted and sweet comics (the Bokuroo ones especially)! Definitely makin the hard days way easier over here lol

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m glad thay can make your days a lil bit lighter~

Anon said:Everytime I see a new post of yours, I feel the need to just tell you how great you are, because I feel bad for not being able to do anything else to show you how happy and grateful I am for your almost daily posts. You are such a good, thanks for being such a cute constant in my life. I hope you are feeling well today

ANON!!!!!!!!!!!!! There’s literally nothing moe I could be asking of you, here!!!! Comments like this are what makes me happy and grateful, really!! Thank you so so much for being as sweet at you are!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:I love your art so much I'm going to die of cuteness

BOI thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! *O* pls don’t die on me tho!!
