#no undo no ctrl z = evil

[star-bear-art]

Physical art is sadistic and mean and being unable to fix my errors sucks. But also it's very very pretty and a definite tribute to the always incredible fanfic The Season by the amazing @linnetagain.

These are little stills from Chapter 17—as always, I'm horribly behind, and only because every little scene rots in my head until I can find time to draw it.

The foibles of trying to scan and upload physical art and fixing the colours and aaaaagghrrrrr so so annoying. But I will get it down to a routine. Eventually. Hopefully.

Individual pretties below:

012 . PONDEROSA —  [ 𝚕𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚗 𝚍𝚊𝚢𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖 ] ...... DOWNLOAD NOW

Gothic, dark, Wednesday, The Sandman, vampires, demons, I don't know what I was on making PONDEROSA. For those who love red and moody, this is like EUREKA's evil cousin. Along with this template, you receive a free docs tutorial on how to edit it with detailed instructions. It's not complicated but it might teach you some new tricks. Edit it in any way, shape, or form just please don’t remove my credit and link to lemondaydream.

These are meant to be only used by one person per purchase. Allowing others to make copies off of your copy is stealing. Please read the instructions on how to prevent this.

how to use

After accessing the full Google doc through the link on the PDF, select “file” and then “make a copy” 

Do not remove the credit from the top and bottom of the template  

how to edit

This template comes with its own tutorial, read those instructions first if you have questions. They are on the PDF that is emailed to you.

The easiest way to edit and change any of the images is to right-click on the image and then click “replace image” in order to change it. Do not copy and paste images into the doc, it will ruin the formatting.

Some images might need you to first right-click on the image and click "select image" if it does not automatically create a bounding box. After this step, you can change it to be "in front of text" and then proceed with the instructions above. Just make sure to change it back to behind text after. 

This document has "Drawing" elements! To edit the "drawing" simply right-click, "select image," and the box that pops up underneath has a button that says "edit." Edit will bring you to a pop-up window that will allow you to change the images by clicking replace image at the top right of the toolbar when clicking the picture.

Do not resize or paste any images into the doc, only use the method above.

The pictures on this doc are of Sora Choi colored with the PSD Circles by divinefem (darkened with a 40% opacity layer of black) The PSD is not included, please go support this fantastic creator to grab your own if you want (in notes). The background texture and red images are made from elements found on Pinterest, most of them recolored by me.

Changing the fonts may cause tables to shift and resize, be careful in doing this, and remember, ctrl+z is your friend, if something messes up, immediately undo. Do not recommend doing this.

The tables are structured in a way that will move pages and elements if their limit is exceeded, if you need more space, I highly recommend linking to a continuation at the end of that space. 

Thank you so, so much for your support!

Likes and reblogs always appreciated!!

Some good meta in the comments (punctuation edited for readibility):

i deffo think its because of the nature of their tragedies and the length of time it takes too. a fix it for tcgf would dramatically undercut the growth and potential development of both characters, whereas the idea of fix its for mdzs go back maybe 30 years at most? and span that time usually as well which gives every character the same chance to grow but in different ways. the good mdzs time travel fics are the ones where they don't escape The Rammys but experience vastly different ones that the Travellers cannot prepare for and could never have seen coming. there's also the whole idea of the extremely closed narratives in mdzs! a LOT of time travel fics deal with the idea that now Everything is Known, which is a huge point of the novel! while our attention is on wwx and the wens, there is a WHOLE other evil brewing elsewhere. - by @northisnotup

i think its fundamentally a compatible trope with the type of tragedy. most of the drama resolves around “if only he knew if only they knew” type of secrets and culminates in drastic choices -- the undo/ctrl+z lets you explore how the narrative would flow. - by @mizukibull

personally i think it's because there is so much pain in MDZS that is caused by moments ripe with 'what if' potential -- moments that all build on each other. as you read and suffer you can't help but think 'if only they had known'! 'if only they had talked'! 'if only someone had helped'! 'if only they'd been more understanding'! 'if only they'd made a different decision'. MDZS is just FULL of these instead of having one key one -- or a couple. just so many! most aren't inevitable or impossible to change, they just happened that way! or the world is just like that. pure chance that something or someone turned out in a certain way, and then previous events conflate into something else tragic. so many things like that that i think to us as an audience it becomes a tapestry of IF ONLY I COULD CHANGE IT points that is too tempting not to touch because there's so many of them! and quite a few could be averted by someone just making a different decision, starting with the Wei couple and the nighthunt that killed them probably. everyone reading MDZS is likely led to have their own theory of how tragedy could have been avoided. and thus, fix it fics abound. - by @avourel

the time travel fix-its are the same reason i think. mdzs is a shakespearian tragedy (hamlet specifically) where everything is caused by the nature of the characters, NOT fate. so for the characters within the story 'nature' looks like decisions + coincidences. there's always room for that hope that if you JUST could get there earlier you could change their mind or manipulate the situation around their personality.

tgcf is an epic or a fable …. where the characters are not really characters but functions of the story. like -- hades isnt a person he's a personification. pandora/eve will always open the box/eat the apple -- orpheus will always look back -- xie lian will always fall from grace, because they arent people causing the events of their stories, they are a function of a parable or an allegory for how the world works

going back in time can't fix anything bc they exist to have those fates… there IS no xie lian without the fall from grace bc his whole purpose is to embody it :( to explain manipulation and corruption and love.

i think fix-its make sense for mdzs and svsss bc theyre character driven as OP said, but tgcf & myths are driven by the author's need to personify the phenomena in our real world… its hard to think of a fix-it for that. like you can write a fix-it for Hamlet but not Macbeth. how do you write a fix-it for The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas? - by @mushroomrice

I've been thinking about how the tcgf roleswaps are always god tier and the mdzs ones always fall flat (svsss being in the middle) and I have a theory.

Mdzs is fundamentally a Shakespearean tragedy; though you wish things turned out for the better, due to each person's nature and the circumstances they are in, there is literally no other choice they would or could make, and that is what the tragedy is built on. Hamlet takes five acts to kill Claudius because he is Hamlet. Wei Wuxian defends the Wen Remnants to the death because he is Wei Wuxian. Trying to put Lan Wangji in his shoes similarly doesn't work because of the nature of the tragedy, and also because though the hold the same values they are fundamentally different people with different ways of thinking, and would never take the same path.

Scum Villain's tragedy is not brought about by Shen Yuan or Luo Binghe. It is inherent in their circumstances, and influenced by their actions, but fundamentally the tragedy is within the narrative itself -- represented by shang qinghua's original draft and by the system. A roleswap between Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe changes the plot, sure, but the narrative remains the same. If that makes sense.

Tcgf however is built around the fact that Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are two sides of the same coin. Xie Lian is a god who almost became a calamity; Hua Cheng is a calamity who refused to become a god. Xie Lian was born blessed with luck and lost it all; Hua Cheng was born under a bad star and now has all the luck in the world. Xie Lian is a prince who became a beggar; Hu Cheng is an urchin who became a king. They're even more yin and yang than wangxian are, equal and opposite in every way. And THAT is why it's so tasty. They're distorted reflections of each other.

me to myself: I should probably work on the comic I have going right now, or plan ahead for future projects while I still have the time

*my brain, pounding its fists on the table*: DISNEY VILLAIN DISNEY VILLAIN DISNEY VILLA-

(wow im trash at photography)

ideologically i dont agree with disney but they kind of went off with the character design

I made up some random character with the villainous aesthetic that involved dragons and the classic Evil Green and did it traditionally because I felt like doing some actual painting for once

I wanted the silhouette to be a bit more dramatic but i forgot how little control you have with a brush compared to digital. I kept trying to undo brushstokes before remembering that ctrl-z doesnt exist irl
