#my growth is not settling

[clickntreat]

Fell for Karlach instead of Astarion, and for me, that signifies great character growth

Do you think Jayce could have developed some amount of claustrophobia while sealed in the box all those years? If so, any shift up in height indoors could make him feel trapped again, causing even more of a shift or a longer time for him to shift back. He would try to avoid breaking walls etc. while the Dread might be encouraging that, to literally break free and never feel trapped again, like in your art when the coffer is released then broken.

(Sorry if this is something that you’ve already answered. I’m loving your art!)

It isn't something I talked about much on here, but he definitely ended up developing some claustrophobia since the soul box, yes! While it doesn't quite work the same as being locked in a physical box, it still is a space that seems both infinite and also ever encompassing and small. Weird null space sort of thing that is keeping you in a dream-like state the entire time.

It's a little hard to explain that is he's not quite a size shifter outside of when he fully transforms? It's more that he's just gradually growing throughout the story and trying to manage it with the potions and spells is what has him up and down all the time with trying to maintain a size but it wearing off. I haven't full settled yet if that still is what I will stick with…

When it does happen to him in closed spaces, he really tries to not think about it and focus on the quickest solution, but I also think he's someone who's personally trained himself to react in a sane way in response to panic and fear most of the time. Not always, but this guy is in more life and death situations than the average person should be with his line of work lol I didn't post it before, but during the part he and Lucy get squished between the walls together in, he destroyed enough that it could close around them, but that closed space started to get to him. He tried to not show in front of Lucy (who was an enemy at the time still) that it was getting to him, but he'd start slipping a bit. Obviously growing then will just make things worse, but in this scenario he is needing to anyway to have the strength to push the walls apart again so they can get out. This might technically be the first time she's seeing his other form, but it's obscured by the lack of light other than the parts of him that start to glow.

i juat want you to know that "settle our bones" pulled me out of not only a depressive episode but a creative block too!! can't wait to read the next installments if you plan to continue the series 🫶

I’m so glad it was able to inspire you! That’s so awesome to hear ❤️🥺

started to lean away from the jellyfish cut and ended up giving Enoch a full hair progression journey

[snickerdoodlles]

things i would change in lita if i were in charge:

put Rain in a dorm room instead of living at home

a large part of why Phayu/Rain doesn't work for me is because we don't get to see Rain develop on his own...ever, really. he's in college, but he's living at home, living off his parents' money, still updating his mom on his where abouts like he's in high school. he goes from being closely entwined with/dependent on them to being highly dependent on Phayu. Phayu/Rain didn't come off as "Rain's making stupid and risky decisions but that's part of growing up," which i would've enjoyed, it comes off as ".....no, seriously Rain, can you make this decision?"

moving Rain into a dorm would've given him some much needed independence. even if though he would've still been reliant on his parents financially, there's still the growth that comes from being away from your parents' daily influence, managing your own space, managing your own personal well-being, etc. that would've been Rain's starting point for independent growth. vs canon, where Rain's start in independent growth was an intensely sexual relationship with a highly independent guy (nooot really anything i'm comfortable with myself). Rain can enjoy being coddled/spoiled/etc (which i like! good for him!), but the writers never gave him a chance to figure out who he was on his own, so the relationship as is doesn't land for me :/

more Phayu interacting with the garage family

i really like the glimpses of Phayu's character that we get. he has a lot of contradictions that look like so much fun to explore, but his characterization often gets shuffled to the side in favor of kink. the most interesting Phayu scenes are always the ones where it's not just him and Rain which......really sucks. the Prapai/Sky sex scenes reveal a lot about them as individual characters as well as how they interact with each other. Phayu/Rain sex scenes kinda touch on how they act together, but the main thing they do is tell me more than i want to know about the writers' personal kinks. hell, most of what Rain learns about Phayu as a person is discovered through other people--which is really annoying! i want to be learning more about this guy through his interactions with Rain, not primarily the gossip other people tell Rain. that doesn't happen until like, ep6-7, which is the literal end of their personal arc and mostly spent away from each other. sighs.

more Saifah

quality character, highly underutilized. i love his eyerolls, but the writers never really did much with him to bring him past that point :( i can extrapolate a lot, but canon developed Sig in the second half of the show more than they did Saifah for all of it. Saifah is Phayu's literal twin brother and business partner, and some random architect student got more of a character than him. this is not a complaint on Sig, i fucking adore that guy, but it's a bizarre writing choice.

more kidnapping aftermath

seriously. what the fuck. TWO kidnapping scenarios, the entire reason why i watched this show, and you guys couldn't cut out any of the 1905t59488993e repeated scenes to give me more than 2 minutes of kidnapping aftermath? who the fuck even cares about trucks driving on roads

things i would not change in lita if i were in charge:

Chai showing up to rescue Phayu and Rain wearing a zebra print shirt. sensational. 10/10, no notes

[lil-oreo-crumbles]

You know back when the AU was a comic, I was able to gloss over so much of the politics of Mewni Creek I was not well equipped to handle and focus instead on the relationships and bonds that were important to the story going forward and explain the new governmental system of this combined world after it had been established and the masses calmed long down.

But now? Now that it’s a fic? Now that I have to essentially re-start the Ovelia establishment and better flesh out her blossoming friendships and connections to the main cast?

I’ve really gotta buckle down and write the politics and post-Cleaved chaos don’t I.

Man…

[void-and-virtue]

Writing fanfic is so dangerous bc whenever I see the name ‘Seth Gordon’ now, my brain just goes “SETH!! My man!!! My dude!!! Allison and Renee’s platonic husband!!!!” And then I have to take a moment of silence as I remember that oh. Oh, in canon, he is first an asshole and then dead

[askfallenroyalty]

Since chara’s true name is based off the pun ‘chara’cter would Aslo’s siblings true name be Uma based off of h’uma’n?

that wouldn't really work aslo is a full monster (half boss). aslo more so represents Asriel and Asgore's poor naming conventions. (Asriel is a combo of Asgore and Toriel)

its a nice thought tho! by your logic if chara were to have a kid they'd be name Manny (human) or Monty (monster) since they're not human anymore

[jacksprostate]

i see this anon ask you cool stuff all the time so I thought I'd take a jab at it(even though it reallyIS kind of a stupid question,) but do you believe love is real? i like hearing ur takes on things boss and I'd like to hear your input on this too :p

- THEEE SUPERFAN ANON hello why do they make the text with fontsSO MUCH BIGGER

Hello! Yes I do, I love my mom, I love my cats, I love the world and nature and people and infrastructure and fish and ecology, and I love my girlfriend :)

As a more in depth response, yes. Resoundedly. Love and wonder are things I've really tried to cultivate for myself and doing so in a critical manner is what got me past the Intense Hopelessness that comes after Realizations (as mentioned in my other recent post). It is inextricable from my interacting with the world. I don't have much to say in all honestly because this is very foundational to me.

As for if you meant romantic love specifically, also yes. I've had a much more convoluted experience with that since I was in great denial about my sexuality for a very very long time, to some extensive degrees. Even when I came to terms with the fact that I was a lesbian, I remained in denial and numb to any romantic feelings I had. In general, I am very even keel in a way that makes it easy for me to dismiss things, and subconsciously, I was doing that a lot. Romance was something that sounded nice, but I was alright without, and thought would never happen.

And then my girlfriend told me she had a crush on me, haha. And I had to take a good long look at myself and how I was feeling, and it sort of felt like prying open a clam and I'm doing the prying and I'm also the clam, and it still sort of feels like that sometimes, but I was, thankfully, in a place where I was able to acknowledge how I felt, even though I'd originally been oblivious to it.

It's been going great. It's long distance, which sucks, but we still make time for each other. She visited recently and it was amazing. I was so worried that somehow I'd tricked myself, you know? But no. We bumbled over kissing and stuff and I felt like a fool and it was absolutely perfect because it's how it was for us.

I think, I could live without romance, and I would be okay. But it's really nice. I like loving and trusting someone like I do my girlfriend. I love feeling close with her. I love sharing things with her. Everything I do with her just feels a bit sweeter.

So yes, I do think love exists. Love as a whole is a foundational part of human society, really. And romance is a big part, too. I don't think it's terrible to go without it, god knows me and her kind of both took our time before starting our first real relationship, but it's very, very nice if you find it.

[kakusboyfriend]

I loooove it when OCS go in the complete opposite direction of the path you set them on btw. Love it when kind OCS turn into bitter cunts, and asshole OCS turn into gentle sweethearts. Such is the nature of the characters

[prettyboykatsuki]

Can I just say how I love how you went from “not a fan of yanderes outside of the horror aspect” to actively writing yandere thirst lol, welcome to the club! /lh

LMFAOOO PLEASE I THINK ABT THIS ALL THE TIME ! ! ! i think one part of it was that i didn't really like the popular potrayal of yanderes and then when the obsession and worship aspect sunk in i was like Oh No.

i was like this w dark content in general too tho i think i was just in denial. i think i felt bad about enjoying it at one point and then it was like. a switch flipped. im a freak now openly idc anymore. i want that dude to kidnap me and treat me like a cute rabbit in a cage so what
