If I have energy I want to draw out some designs for an au I'm spontaneously writing.

(Medieval times, there's a Prophecy. Nightmare rules over this kingdom and is supposed to complete this prophecy, he refuses to because it would harm the people. Dream was sent away and banished by Night because he was dis-illusioned into thinking the prophecy was a Good Thing abd what he was raised to complete. Night collected his Knights (Killer, Dust, Horror, and Cross most recently) and trains them and tells them the truth of the prophecy. They're loyal to him. One day the magic of the prophesy (Apple Magic) leaves Nightmare unexpectedly, returning him to the state he was in before he accepted the mantle. This puts a target on his back and gives Dream a huge advantage in maybe making a comeback. The Knight's decide that their King (newly a young lad and variably scared and frightened) must be protected and they run the kingdom as he normally would, while also ensuring he survives and that the prophecy can't be completed.)

Hello I’m Alana the artist and creator for Alanaartdream that’s on YouTube (this here) TikTok tumblr instagram and whatever the heck twitter is now

So my beloved last pair of glasses have busted and be g as they don’t make glasses frams like my old pair anymore they couldn’t fix the part that broke off them so in light of that I had to get a new pair

So I got a new pair along with a pair of sunglasses being as Specsavers has a deal of get one pair get a 2nd at half the price atm

This also means I had to upgrade my cartoon chibi cat girl drawing version of myself as well

AND being as so much change seems to be going on with my life atm I figured I’d do a new room tour and induction of myself and my cats while I was at it as well

Also just letting everybody know I’m changing my main tumblr art blog (( @alanaartdream user icon now to Mach new glasses ))

My reblogging blog is @reblogalanaartdream I made that one so I can hopefully keep my art blog mostly to my art/ drawings post while the reblogging one can be messy up as much as my adhd brain wants to mess that one up

Finally decided to give into temptation and draw Franks mom (Gabriela) and post some headcanons here teehee

35 years old

His first language is Spanish and then later on he learned English (bilingual king)

Big party animal in his teens and early 20s, lowkey a player

Pretty good dancer

Raised by a single mom, knows about his dad but neither had ever bothered to reach out.

Momma’s boy (nerd)

Their relationship was essentially perfect until she found out about Frank’s involvement with crime (selling drugs and other petty crime) in his teens and early 20’s. Aside from being mad she was disappointed in him, having raised him to be better than that and to stay away from that sort of crowd. A tearful screaming match ensued that ended with Frank getting kicked out of the house and unless he quit his current lifestyle he wasn’t allowed to come back

Since he’d left he’d tried sending her money, but she refused to accept money earned illegally.

He hasn’t seen her in 12 years.

Has a folded picture of her in his wallet with her phone number scribbled on the back. Has never tried calling her, having only gotten more heavily involved in crime since the day he left. It’s hard to crawl out of the hole he dug for himself.

Passes by his childhood home once in a while, just to make sure she hasn’t moved or left town.

That’s it (for now >:^]) have some VERY messy doodles

Staring down that weird feeling of feeling like too much or out of place or annoying if I say too much or say things too loud or too off-putting to be like- WANTED in any given social situation. To try so hard to socialize just to- idk. I’d very much like to stop defaulting to that scared kid that was pushed away or talked over until I got old enough and desperate enough to say any and every rapid fire thought that comes to mind. Like filling space when there’s dead air then wondering if maybe I did the Too Much™️ thing again and A. Scared everyone away or B. Pushed everyone away so it would hurt less when they leave BC of A.

Of feeling like I need to be useful or smart or talented or pretty or SOMETHING worthwhile so people want me around. I can just be but then it’s like just being has never been enough for anyone to like- stay. Or care. Running is always a mistake bc it’s like riiiight.. no one noticed you ran, babe. You’re not even at the top of their list people to want around. And just feel so low about it that I talk myself into feeling miserable again.

I’m happy, ive been so much happier lately and i dont take it for granted bc it’s so rare that things go okay or that there’s a sense of peace for a moment. I’m creating again and im less hard on myself about it. I have hobbies again, I’m making friends. And still I’m like seeing the other foot start to drop in real time bc it’s like. You’re in, but are you? That constant nagging voice that sounds so much like my own going “lonely again? Good you deserve it”

My fic procrastination has gotten so bad that I literally painted a whole ass jacket instead of writing LOL

[bisexual-horror-fan]

I know I've been very absent on here and to be totally honest it's my damn job. Work has me so tired and so stressed I've legit not written anything in over a week when usually I write almost every single night. I know my fic posting has slowed for the past while but I was still actively working on stuff behind the scenes. I have a lot of half finished projects but it's so bad that in the new year if my job stress hasn't lessened then I think I will look for a new job.

So fun fact about rerooting rainbow high dolls. Their heads are a lot thicker/harder than a regular Barbie doll head so you have to keep repeatedly, heating them before sticking the needle in or your needle will break. I have broken several rerooting needles because of this And yesterday I was in the middle of working on one of my dolls when my last one broke and shimmer locks is on vacation so I have to wait until Friday before I can order more. I have some size 3, but size 3 is just a little too big for what I’m trying to do when I really need a size 5. 

and for some reason some of the doll heads are harder to keep soft than others.  like for instance, I had some trouble with Rexis head before I figured out what I was doing then I started working on a Delilah and she has been much easier to work with. I also did a little bit of rerooting on a Simone and she wasn’t too bad however I’m currently working on Hali and River and their heads seem to be much harder and it was actually Rivers head that broke my needle  so you know it’s been interesting.

Good news is I finished all of the rerooting on Delilah and Simone so now it’s just painting and styling  

Also, my older sister has informed me that my work table full of headless dolls, and my rerooting of dolls is in fact, vaguely creepy I don’t know why she feels that way, but she thinks it’s scary. Similarly one of my other sisters has decided that dolls with no eyes in them are also terrifying, I had taken the eyes out of one because I wanted to swap the eyelashes with a different one and every time she walked by my table she literally jumped this girls in her 20s she’s not a little kid

Thinking about Orchid and her connection to my take on Gender (because this was meant to be about her and the Crew but it just devolved into a character analysis kinda??? More trauma-dumping maybe???) This is very much an oc/personal rant so feel free to ignore it 🫡

So, Orchid started off as a character I didn't really think much of (hear me out this is going to be relevant) because I wanted to add a 'girl' character but didn't know what to *do* with her, y'know? She was always going to be the strongest one there, she had the odds stacked in her favor with her parents. She was always going to be the gloomy side-character to match Reset's energy. But I think she's gone through every stage of Generic Woman I could possibly find.

At first she was angry and abrasive (think Fell!Sans) where every other word was a curse and she was likely to throw the first punch then laugh as she kicks her enemy while they're down. This was when Reset was a cartoonishly self-centered villain whose goal was simply to prove others wrong. Then Orchid became a sort of sisterly figure. This was short-lived, but she was the one comforting people who Reset would torment, but would ultimately follow his orders, because at this point he was actually a danger and sadistic. And then there was the phase where the story mellowed out and she became the token Goth Girl who, yes she was strong, but was heavy on the 'whatever' energy. Then there was her Era of deep self-loathing and anxiety about her worth that held her back and made her a much more timid and meek character who would only lash out on occasion.

Now, Orchid is the best of those iterations I've written yet. She's calm, level-headed, and a natural leader. Her father raised those traits into her. But she's very reactive, and can be silly, and when she's comfortable it's likely that air of importance transforms into something more comfortable and familiar. She laughs loudly and grins wide, she likes loud video-games but loves to read in the quiet. She's extremely disciplined, and normally no one can get through her tough exterior besides her best friend, Reset. She does what she does for her own enjoyment, sure, but she's thought of every angle and makes her choice to help Reset and control the others with her whole chest. She still worries she won't live up to her invisible expectations, and that and her loyalty are her two driving forces.

I know that Orchid is important to me because she's the longest-running female oc I've had. I have a rough relationship with womanhood/girlhood and I know looking back that Orchid recieved every ounce of my distaste for being a woman that I could shovel into her. That never made her less of a character, she was actually always one of my favorites, and rarely was she a 'punching bag oc'. I just... projected onto her a lot. And she's a good sign of how I've learned who I am. I've decided that my own femininity is something I could live without. I'd rather not associate myself with it, and I'd like to leave it in my past, focusing on a future where I'm not tied down with any gender roles or expectations. That won't happen, but I've come to terms with it myself. Orchid though? I figured out through her that I don't have to hate women characters. My own distaste for my circumstances doesn't mean I have to push it onto my characters (on God I've never expressed anything rude to actual people, that'd be rude as hell and uncalled for, but I have a bad habit of disliking fictional women in media). So, Orchid is a well-roubded character finally. She has motivations abd goals and a *lot* more depth than I ever expected her to. She's happy with being a woman, she's content. She's not treated differently for it in unfair ways by those she cares about, so she doesn't mind it. She likes to wear pretty outfits and lets Reset add bows to her ribbons. She doesn't let being a woman hold her back in the slightest.

So, yeah. Orchid is one of my babies. If I ever leave this Fandom behind for good, she's one that's coming with (Ichor, Orchid, and Pretender all have human designs I can use elsewhere lol-) but in the meantime I'll just rotate her around in my brain for a while longer.

If I'm right, she's been with me for nearly 5-6 years and I went through a *lot* with her as an outlet. So, she's kinda just like an old stuffed animal. A lil ripped, matted fur, maybe a stain or two, but there's a story there and that makes it important beyond belief.

I went to the second hand music shop in my neighbourhood to see if they had blank tapes that I could record over with my Barbie cassette player and the guy was like “well they’re not blank but we have used ones ones you can record over” and I was like a) that’s fine thank you, but b) the concept of buying someone’s used tapes is so sick to me bro now I just want to buy them all to listen to them
