#seriously I love that there is now fanart for this fic 😭

[daffi-990]

I’m so excited to share the amazing art I commissioned from the wonderful @lonelychicago for my Rival Firefighters fic 🚒

The artwork is from Chapter Six and is one of my favourite little soft moments between the boys 🥰

stuck now so long, we just got the start wrong

85K | Rated E

Probational Firefighters Evan “Buck” Buckley and Eddie Diaz meet on a call which ends with them at odds with each other.

As the months roll by, they keep running into each other on the job, much to Eddie’s dismay and Buck’s delight.

Can they put aside their first opinions and misunderstandings and allow the seeds of friendship, and possibly something more, to take root?

[vrystalius]

Trick or treat..?

I suppose it’s too late for that huhu😭 but may I please have your take on Sanemi taking care of a drunk s/o after a (halloween?) party?

Sanemi taking care of his drunk partner

He knew attending Tengen’s birthday part was a mistake. Sanemi never wanted to come in the first place!

Pairing: Sanemi x gn!reader

Again, this absolutely beautiful banner was made by @erexart !! Please, please go check her out! She makes fanarts (remember boxer Sanemi?) and art including her ocs and characters like Kyojuro and Sanemi— I love her comics so much, they are so so cute and I love imagining my own oc in her place XD Anyways, thank you so much for requesting and making this beautiful banner for this fic!

“Sanemiiii, you’re soo serious… lighten uppp, this a party, yeah?”

“Party’s over.”

Sanemi was steadily helping you to lean against his shoulder while his arms were wrapped beneath yours, trying to drag you down the streets, back to your home. He doesn’t step into the role of a caretaker often, but after watching you down drinks after drinks alongside the birthday-boy Uzui, he was already mentally preparing himself to finally pay you back for all the times you took care of him, physically and mentally. It’s the least he could do for you in his eyes, taking care of you while you are drunk. He had already stayed near you all evening, making sure that you don’t seriously overdo it and end up with alcohol poisoning, silently glaring at Tengen for again pouring you another drink. Sanemi was never fond of alcohol drinks and decided to stick to his green tea. Someone has to stay sober and make sure everyone is being responsible, right?

By the time you were stumbling away from the former sound hashira’s mansion, your husband steadied you carefully while you kept trying to wiggle out of his grasp, assuring him that you can totally walk on your own. Dragging you home and making sure that you don’t trip or decide that running off is a suitable option for you as well. You didn’t notice how Sanemi’s grip tightened on you as you complained about going home so soon, wanting to stay a little longer at the birthday party to celebrate more. By the time you two arrived back home, it was way past midnight. Your husband guided you to sit down while he prepared a small meal for you, scolding you to drink the glass of water he handed you slowly but surely, threatingly pointing his wooden spoon at you while standing by the stove.

“You’re so mean to meee! You’re lucky I like your pretty face.”

“Mhm, just drink your damn water.”

It’s a little ironic to him how Sanemi usually is spending his nights beating the shit out of demons, dragging himself home and almost falling asleep in the shower while you scrub his bloody back. Sometimes, despite how exhausted and how much you want to sleep right now, you still drag yourself to the kitchen and prepare a small meal for him so that he doesn’t have to go to bed hungry. You know that your husband would be too exhausted to make something himself, preferring to sleep. Despite how annoyed and pissed he seems with you right now because of how drunk you are, Sanemi still gladly takes care of you.

He always felt like he was taking more than he was giving in your relationship, taking your affections for granted, barely having any time for you due to his hashira duties and never really acknowledging how much you are doing for him. While holding the glass of water to your lips you still haven’t finished, his fingers carefully brushing over your rosy cheeks as a way to gently coax you into finally drinking at least a little bit of water. The quick meal he whipped up wasn’t anything too fancy, Sanemi feeding you with chopsticks while you lazy lean back against the chair, ready to crash into bed and hibernate until the late afternoon. Now you’re thankful for Sanemi dragging you home so early.

A shower he was planning on forcing you to take has to wait until later, you’re basically half asleep in your chair by the time he finished feeding you. Carrying you to bed was much easier than dragging you away from Tengen’s estate, your body basically limp in his arms while he carried you to bed. Your arms were lazily wrapped around his neck, playing a little with the hair on the back of his head while dreamily staring at your husband’s handsome face. My, was he always this hot? Or is the way Sanemi is removing your sweaty clothes just really turning you on? Before you could even open your mouth, your husband carefully helped you lay down properly onto your mattress, tucking you in with the cosiest sheets he could find. You grinned at him.

“What’re ya staring at?”

“The hottest man in the whole world.”

You relaxed under his touch as he ran his thick fingers through your hairstrands, detangling your hair a little while his eyes glossed over your features. Sanemi gave you a small hum of acknowledgement before leaning down to you, placing a soft kiss on your forehead. A small giggle escaped your lips as you weakly tried pulling the warm body of your husband closer for a cuddle. He didn’t even try to protest despite him still being dressed in his street clothes.

“I gotta change, bug.”

“Mh, no. Dooooon’t caaaree.”

Sanemi groaned in annoyance but never made an attempt to move away or escape your grasp. The tension in his body slowly began to disappear the longer your body pressed against his. He lazily kicked his shoes off and slipped beneath the sheets, giving up on fighting against your drunk stubbornness.

“Just sleep, will ya?”

“As long as you stay here.”

A soft sigh escaped his lips as he began to smile slightly. He moved closer to you, burying his face into your warm neck, closing his eyes in exhaustion.

“I ain’t going nowhere, promise.”

I always feel so incredibly honoured when I receive art for my fics— when I first started posting on tumblr, I set some small goals for me to archive while being active on here: get over 100 followers, get a post to 1.000 interactions, get requests and get my favourite authors to like my works— one of those goals was to receive fanart or art for my works, and the first time erexart offered to make a banner for one of my posts, I can’t describe how happy I felt XD Once I gathered enough (like a goblin), I’ll make a small post collecting every piece of media I received from others— may it be art from you guys or own little fan-works or whatever, I always feel incredibly honoured to receive anything.

I apologise if this may sound desperate or demanding, I just feel like I don’t express my appreciation for you guys enough XD

Anyways, make sure to EAT, SLEEP and DRINK enough!!

Take care of yourselves <3

[the-power-of-stuff]

Omgggggggggggggggg I am OBSESSED!!! They look amaaaaaazing!!! 😭😭😭 I love love love their jewelry, and Sokka's armbands, and their subtle yet extremely effective "you really think you can mess with us??" staredown faces. I love Suki's hand on Sokka's shoulder and her little bit of red eye makeup. I love all the warm colors and how comfortable and familiar the two of them look standing side-by-side. They look SO GOOD together. Perfect for each other, really. Thank you for bringing them to life like this!! This is such a treasure. 💗💗💗 (And I'm so happy you liked the fic!! 🥹)

it is done!! @sukka-week 2023 Day 2: An Ocean Apart/Homecoming or Soulmates

pov: you walk into a wedding afterparty thrown by the avatar’s brother-in-law and you see these two on the other side of the atla-world-equivalent of the beer pong table. you immediately know you’re screwed.

click for better quality or see below for closeups :)

this piece was inspired by the early chapters of @the-power-of-stuff’s amazing fic ‘The Words To Keep You’ ! u should all 10000% go read it if u haven’t already!

also also also suki’s outfit was taken from @it-is-sooz-again’s art of the same fic! check it out here :)

i intended to make this piece fit the ‘an ocean apart’ prompt or generally the theme of reuniting. initially i was gonna draw them both separate but they looked too good together. oh sukka the power couple that you are…

some closeups:

hope u like! 😁😁

The original plushie

Steddie | G | ~4.1k | AO3 link

This fanart of Eddie sleeping with a bunch of stuffed toys by @baleful-blurbs infected my brain and refused to leave until this ridiculous fluffy thing got written 😭 Please make sure to reblog those wonderful sketches to support the artist who inspired the plushie silliness♥️

Featuring: Tooth-Rotting Fluff, seriously beware of cavities, Light Angst, Plushies, Childhood Memories, POV Eddie Munson, Steve Harrington is a Sweetheart, Steve Harrington Has Bad Parents, Good Parent Wayne Munson, Requited Love, Cuddling, Getting Together, Boys In Love

The mortifying ordeal of Eddie's crush discovering his secret plushie cuddle nest turns out to be not so mortifying after all. Steve even starts borrowing said plushies to take back home with him; some time later, Eddie finds out why.

Snippet under the cut

“Who’s this?” Steve asks, grinning as he pokes at the teddy’s ridiculous smiley face. 

“Oh. That’s… that’s Mr. Boogers.” Eddie huffs and rolls his eyes. “Please don’t ask.”

Still grinning, Steve turns to him. “Well, now you know I gotta.” 

Eddie groans, rubbing a hand across his flustered face, and figures he might as well tell the story now that he’s dug his own grave. “He was, uh… kinda defective from the start, there were some stitches loose around his nose and there was stuffing coming out of it, like… well…”

Steve giggles. “Boogers. Gotcha.” 

“Yeah. Wayne grumbled about it and wanted to ask for a different one, but I was already in love with this one and clung to him and refused to trade. Cos like, you know how plushies of the same type are supposed to be identical but they’re really not ? And one of them has that perfect face and the others just seem off?” 

Eddie blushes, thinking now would be the moment he finally gets ridiculed for being twenty years old and having strong opinions on plushie faces of all things, but Steve just smiles and nods.

“Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I once spilled some gouache on a Mickey Mouse I owned and instead of washing him, mom just bought me a new one of the same series.” Steve sighs. “It was obvious 'cos his eyes were a little closer together and his smile wasn’t crooked to the left. I knew he wasn’t the same Mickey.” 

Again, Eddie’s heart aches for little Steve, like pretty much any time the boy reveals stories from his childhood in a tone too lighthearted for the words spoken, in Eddie’s opinion. Rich people really don’t value anything, huh. (With Steve being the obvious exception.)

“Yeah, see? You get it!” Eddie exclaims, pointing at Steve and putting more excitement into the words than he feels. Mostly, he just feels relieved and pleasantly surprised at how unexpectedly he and Steve managed to bond over their shared fondness for their childhood toys. “So anyway, Wayne relented and we took this funny guy home, my uncle patched him up, but the nickname stuck. Mr. Boogers. Boogie for short.”

Steve laughs again, but there’s nothing malicious about it as he looks back to the teddy in his lap and flicks his ear.

“Nice to meet you, Boogie,” he says with an affectionate smile that makes Eddie want to burrow his face into the mattress and giggle like an idiot. 

And maybe scream a little, because what the fuck. It should be illegal for your crush to talk cute to your goddamn childhood plushies.

ok jeezus this yap is crazy. FINE. ILL EEP NOW 🙄🙄 but thank u for these heheh 💚💚

[the-peak-tmnt]

Not a question, but I came here because I just have endless praise for this entire fic. I literally haven't stopped thinking about it for days!!

I'm gonna be honest, I watched mutant mayhem on opening day and didn't think too much about it. I grew up on tmnt, I'm a huge fan of 2012, rise, I've seen every movie out there but this one didn't hit the same at first. The only reason I read reciprocity was because I saw some of its amazing fanart and it made me curious (I also rarely read fics lol) but when I started I read the entire thing in less than a week. It's made me appreciate mutant mayhem a lot more, especially Raph and Leo, and now I can't wait for not only more of your fic but also tottmnt and the sequel in 2026!! Thanks for your amazing work AND for converting me into a fan 😭

THIS IS SO AWESOME TO HEAR!

Like wow, I am SO flattered! This is kind of making my heart explode because I really, really, really love this movie, and this makes me feel like I'm sharing that love in a way that's drawing someone else in 😭

Even though I love it so much, I completely understand why other people didn't love or even like Mutant Mayhem. It's super different and a huge departure from traditional TMNT media in many ways.

But for me, there's just so much about it that tickles my brain in a way I can hardly describe. I still remember seeing the first trailer and feeling like a switch had been flipped inside my head. I just like, instantly knew this was going to be The Thing For Me. I could go on and on and on about how much I love Mutant Mayhem and why, but one of the most important things I learned in film school about storytelling was "show, don't tell." I've been trying to "show" all of these reasons in my writing, and I'm so so SO happy to hear that it's is coming through in Reciprocity.

I'm also super grateful for all of the incredible fan art that people have made, or to those who've posted about/shared things about the fic that have drawn others into giving Reciprocity a try.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment! This has seriously made me so happy ❤️

[evansbby]

OKAY SO THROWBACK TO WHEN POYT 5 WAS IN THE WORKS AND I DREW FANART FOR POYT 4 BUT NEVER POSTED IT BC I DREW STEVE TOO SMALL 💀💀💀 THE SIZE KINK WAS NOT PRESENT THAT DAY

Wait bestie YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLY TALENTED?!?! This is amazing! 😭😭😭🥹🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 like seriously wow, your ability to translate so much emotion into your art is incredible! I’m actually in awe and I love this SO much! It’s also so insane to me that you made fanart out of my story?!?! LIKE WHATTT… that is such an honour bestie, thank you so so so much 😭😭🥹🥹🩷🩷 i wish so badly that i could draw like this, you have no idea!!!

Likeee even the checked paper you used works perfectly as bathroom tiles!!!

But also like… the way you drew omega in her depressed era of poyt 4 is just… WOW😭 I have no words! You did it so perfectly, making her look so hopeless and forlorn and alone despite Steve being right there!!! Just hugging herself in the bathtub, all resigned… OH MY GOSH IT IS SO PERFECT I JUST WANT TO GIVE HER A HUG🥹

And Steve?!?! Omfg bestie the absence of size kink 😂😂😂 BUT WHO CARES BC HE LOOKS SO TENDER! Like him bathing her?!?! Ughhh that’s so sweet and now I wish I’d included a scene of that in the fic!!! And him watching her sleep and his hand tenderly in her hair?!? AHHHHHHH OMG I am fangirling I love it 😍

Thank you so much for drawing and sending me these bestie! It really made my day 🥹🥹

[bonesandthebees]

hii! i love your all your fics and clinic was the fic that got me into fanfiction 💕 A couple weeks ago i started a clinic!wilbur piece that i was gonna send to you on your birthday (ik august is a long time away but i was giving myself time incase of art block) but since the recent wilbur situation ive decided to change the character that i was drawing and wanted your input because this drawing is prettu much gonna be a birthday gift! Should i draw you/your sona (if you have one) OR should i redraw some clinic fanart i drew in 2021 (ill attach it)

before i submit this id just like to tell you on how much one single fic impacted my *entire life*. it inspired me to start making uo my own story ideas, and be myself and so much more. me and probably many others thank you so much 🫶🏻

god it's still so wild whenever people tell me clinic is what got them into fanfiction, ty :))

this is so sweet of you omg. I definitely understand not wanting to draw clinic!wilbur anymore because of recent events. it's so kind that you want to draw me anything at all for my birthday like it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside <3 and guess what I remember seeing that fanart in 2021!! I love it so much that's such an intense scene but you made it so funny with tommy flipping dream off and cursing him out like it's so real 😭

honestly it's up to you what you want to draw! I'll be happy with just about anything, it just is so sweet that people want to draw me anything at all. if you're curious I do technically have a sona I guess it's called? it started with my super cool pfp on twitter drawn by the lovely @aweirdlisa which is me but, like, with kind of a bee themed outfit going on and a cool skeleton arm and leg? and then for my past birthday the amazing @firexima drew that same sona that lisa had drawn me which is now my tumblr pfp here, so yeah. my sona is basically just girl with short blonde hair and bangs, wearing a tank top kind of designed to look like a bee and with bee wings, usually holding a book and pencil, and with an optional skeleton arm lol. I can't find the full sized version of what lisa drew me but you can go see it on my twitter it's my pfp there

it seriously means so much to hear how much my fic has impacted you. I'm so so happy it's given you so much inspiration <3

[sister-lucifer]

i raaarely send asks, and not to sound like a fanboy, but OHHHH MY GODS I LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH!!! your fics r genuinely one of my faves (seriously i love your writing style) and the characters from your dating sim have such cool designs...

might i ask — what's your creative process? and how long have you been writing for? i'm just curious bwahaha

yall are being so nice to me tonight what 😭😭 thank u omg i needed to hear that jsksjsjsjjdjdhu

please don’t worry about sounding like a fanboy i really enjoy and appreciate it

my creative process is sort of …hard to explain. some of my ideas are fully original, but i’d say about 2/3 of them are at least partly inspired by other media; a few times it’s been other fics, but usually it’s fanart or sometimes i decide to yoink the framework of an idea form a movie or tv show or game to build around and make my own. my creative brain is just going 24/7, so i’m always taking in new ideas, its just that most of them don’t inspire me and get thrown out, but the ones that do inspire me get filed away for later

my ideas list for fics is very long right now. as you could imagine

i’ve also found that there’s a sweet spot between ‘writing an idea as soon as i get it’ and ‘sitting on an idea so long i have no motivation.’ if i write the second i have an idea, it won’t be developed enough, and i’ll get stuck trying to smooth out all the rough patches as i write, which will discourage me because ill get frustrated trying to force it. i like to let my ideas marinate a bit, give me time to do some mental planning and naturally develop the ideas to patch up all the plot holes. then i write when it feels natural to, instead of making myself because i haven’t written in a while. for me it’s all about just trusting my mind and writing only when i have the energy, motivation, and inspiration, because forcing myself just gets me nowhere

basically, i just try to keep my mind open, because ideas are everywhere if you look, and i let myself work at my own pace

also i’ve been writing since…basically forever? for as long as i can remember, even when my age was in the single digits, i constantly created original characters and wrote stories about and with both them and characters from my favorite TV shows (which at the time was like. TMNT and wild kratts). i only started getting serious and posting my writing + writing smut like two years ago though, but even since then i’ve come a loooong way. i’m much better at writing sex scenes now. holy shit, i used to be terrible 😭😭 but we all have to start somewhere i guess

thank you for your ask! i really appreciate questions like this. it’s little things like this that push writers and artists like me to keep going:]

[guiltyasdave]

A little bit late on this one bUT, when I saw that one of week two's activities for Pedro Summer Camp was to create a piece of fanart for a fic we love, I almost immediately thought of your work. So of course I created a little collage based off of the fic that really introduced me to your writing: the Dress series!!

During the process I was reading through each chapter and just falling in love with your Dave and the relationship you created in that series all over again. Thank you for sharing your work with us; I could imagine this space without you. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it!! Have a lovely day, Jana!! 💛

babe oh my god are you serious 😭😭😭

i’m seriously tearing up right now! the fact that you thought of me and took the time to create this?!?! and these incredibly kind words too! from the bottom of my heart, thank you 🤍 you made my day, week, month, year!

it’s so beautiful, this is exactly the vibe i envision when thinking of dress 🥹

thank you thank you THANK YOU <33333

[definitelynotshouting]

"Chap 10 is chugging along thanks to yalls encouragement :] " Does that mean I should show you the WIP Mumbo fanart? XD

Seriously though, I'm glad our enthusiasm is helping inspire you. =D

WIP MUMBO ART???? 👀👀👀👀👀👀 AYO?????

no legit everyone's kind compliments and the fuckin ART are just such huge motivators for me and my writing, i know i say this all the time but im truly just constantly shocked and excited that people like my fic enough to do these things for it!! Like we're not even out of arc 1 yet 😭😭😭😭💥💥💥💥💥

I never feel like i say it enough to really hammer home the depths of how much i mean it but i am so grateful for the incredible response to hunger au and so so thrilled with every tidbit of art or recursive writing or asks or comments i receive for it. Genuinely the hugest game changer for me in terms of fandom writing and something that has boosted the fic out of what likely wouldve been nothing more than a few chaps that didnt actually go anywhere

Its thanks to yalls enthusiasm that hunger au has such an involved storyline now 🥺🥺🥺🥺 and i love it so much!!!! truly this fic is one of my favorite things ive ever written already and we're still a few chapters away from truly diving into the meat of it. Anyway-- ejdjsjdjejdsj im so excited for mumbo art HEHE i would absolutely love to see it if you're inclined to show me :DDD i always love seeing what art you've cooked up about it!!!!

[baeshijima]

I think mr reca + sunday (And your fics) might have rewired my brain when they came out but why are they so hard to draw sdfgekgf

here's sunday in a washing machine while I try to figure it out 😔

no bc seriously.... sunday did enough damage to me but mr reca???? he dealt the finishing blow and now my life has been irreversibly damaged 🥲 literally have not been able to go a day without thinking abt him at least 10 times i am being so fr when i say he changed my brain chemistry ;w;;;;

AND NO I GET U BC ???? HYV WHY MUST U MAKE THEIR DESIGNS SO COMPLICATED???? like on one hand i love some of their designs but on the other im like.... how do i even begin to describe the clothes... what are descriptors... what are words.... i can only imagine the turmoil artists go through when making fanart for hyv characters 😭😭

STOP HIS EXPRESSION FREE HIM I SAY ??!!?!?!?!!!!!

[phaerlax]

garu & karu- 1, 9, 21, 23, 25

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

(lying down on the shrink's couch) Well, to start with I have a thing for characters that are obsessive about their love interest. My favorite characters in this game are the ones hopelessly devoted to Eiden. I also have a thing for impulsiveness (instinct...) and a certain degree of stupidity that makes them need guidance from others. I love how they wear their heart on their sleeve and are full of energy. And of course, bratty Karu is a perfect target for my punishment and humiliation kinks. Is the red flag hoisted high enough yet-

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Probably not. It would be neat if Garu was willing to do every chore in exchange for praise, but there's also the fact that Karu would be insufferable to deal with in real life. I like peace and quiet.

21. What's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

It's hard to pick one favorite thing... I have several habits that keep coming up. I like to have Karu's internal narration betray him. I love to have Karu's body betray him (and generally to describe the lewd reactions of their body). Having Karu use fancy words. Adding grarrs to dialogue. Having Garu constantly present his ass. Constantly mentioning kuyaru. Giving them no stamina. Yaoi fluids. Emphasizing the size of their dick 😭 I think that among all of those, my favorite thing is describing their arousal.

Something I don't like... broadly, I suppose I don't like to take them too seriously lmao. I'm not fond of angst and hurt/comfort. I get that to some people it may be interesting to analyze Karu's personality in light of their backstory trauma, and to have healing narratives in which he learns to trust and such. Not interesting to me, at least in comparison to pointing and laughing at cute wolfboy being silly.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

From the game itself, Karu looks breathtaking in the second room of Forgotten Fruit. And of course all their towel moments in Fanciful Cappricio (I'm an enjoyer of nudity, you'll never see me agreeing that sometimes being covered up is sexier).

Fanart... man. T1GER's piece of Garu in heat showing his whole ass impacted me so much I had to write a fic, I think I'm picking it. Though I also adore Ivan's kuyaru art. Despite those standouts, my favorite GaruKaru drawings overall are ray's (whose Karu pillow humping picture also made me write)

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

I got Garu in my first pulls, before I really understood much about the game. I didn't understand the 'two wolves inside him' thing at first, but he seemed cute. When I reached chapter 7, it was on sight. I was down bad. I still have the "are you praising me? Well go on then" screenshot, which I took while absolutely smitten. I'd say my impression of them has not changed at all two years later LOL

[queenie-ofthe-void]

Wiggly Worm Wednesday 🧠🪱

Used most of my brain power this week on Promises. I feel like hurt/no comforts are always a bit harder to write. But this is what I'll be thinking about now that I'm done!

1. Somehow my Desperate Fool series has made a comeback, so now everyone's lovely comments lit a fire under my ass to go back to that. I'm seriously enjoying the Eddie & Nancy comfort scene I'm cooking rn. About 90% of my energy is here atm and hopefully I'll post an update in the next week or so.

2. The Babysitter Chronicles is officially on hold 😭 I finally found my original outline (accidentally saved it to a wrong folder) and what I've got for Lucas in the outline is way better than what I've written. I also want to take what I have written for his chapter and move most of it to Max's and El's chapters... so it's a bit of a construction zone right now.

3. I'm struggling a bit with my Steddie Moulin Rouge AU playlist... finding The Duke's (Billy's) songs is harder than I thought it'd be. Eddie's aren't easy either... turns out I'm pretty picky about metal love songs.

4. FINALLY THE CRACK!! An idea that I'm loving but will never write. It's basically just Over The Garden Wall, but make it Steve and Dustin. Of course Robin is Beatrice. But I'd focus mostly on The Ringing of the Bell episode, where Eddie is Lorna (kind of a Kas!Eddie situation) while Wayne is Auntie Silence. I kind of want Auntie Silence to be Vecna-ish at the beginning, told unreliable-narrator style via Steve so he seems scarier than he actually is. So by the end Steve sees him as Wayne, just a nice guy who loves Eddie. Change out the bell for a guitar somehow... idk it's cute lol but it's essentially exactly the same as the episode which is why I'm not planning on writing it.

OH I also forgot I'm tossing around a Magnus Archives fic with Jon and Martin, except I haven't even finished the series yet so I haven't made up my mind if I'll do it or not. If anyone knows good Jon/Martin fics PRE SEASON 3 please lmk I'm desperate but don't want spoilers. Already accidentally saw fanart of Jon covered in eyes and wanted to cry about it.

Wow it feels nice to vent! I've got quite a bit going on personally so this was great 💜

Thanks @devondespresso and @carolperkinsexgirlfriend for tagging me so I could word vomit ideas all over the place. Side note -> love both of your Robin Hood AUs!

Sorry this is not an ask but I just wanted to tell you this... I'm so inlove with your "SNAKES ARE VERY NICE" fic. Not even in a "yeah i enjoyed it way" i mean I've thought about it everyday since my first readthrough. It's genuinely my favourite fanfiction I've ever read and I go back to read it whenever I'm sad because it gives me so much fuel. It was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for when I was scrolling through the parselmouth tag and I spent a whole day reading it because I kept pausing my reading to go listen to audios and reimagine the scenes I had just read...😭

Everything about it is just so ARGHHH and I've doodled so much crappy fanart of it while bored in school that I've always been too shy to post but yeah!!

I dont know why I decided I wanted to say all this I was just thinking about the snakes universe right now and was like "If I'm going to specifically hyperfixate on someone's fanfiction I might aswell spread the love"

THANK YOU FOR WRITING 🙏

Wow, this made my day! I had to explain to my friend why I was smiling so much when I read this. 💕🐍

I’m glad you like it so much, and am happy that it can give you a pick me up when you’re sad.

Also, I LOVEEEE fanart, so if you ever feel like sharing, let me know and I’ll reblog it.

I appreciate it, seriously - really needed some love right now!

Thanks for reading - the next chapter will be out sometime in the next week!

Okay, since ive been getting a lot of love for my ary lately, id like to give you guys some top ary blogs ive followed for years, that i feel they dont get enough love.

Keep in mind that these are not in order from best to least, just in numbered order to make things easy.

(Another thing! While i may have found the majority of these blogs from undertale content, i need you to understand that a lot of these either dont do undertale art as frequently as they used to, or not at all. So please dont go in expecting that these are all undertale blogs based on MY intrests. Thank you.)

1. @springbon-t-art /@thecoolerspringbon-t has WONDERFUL roundhouse like style, and her fanart and characters range from all over(cuphead and bendy and the ink machine are just two examples, she has so much more unrecognized works and animatics on youtube that i think deserves much more love)

2. @twitchydoodle i havent visted this wonderful blog in a while, but i have followed for a good time(lets just say for a few years lol) so i cant say for sure what art is posted there at this moment, HOWEVER, i CAN say that twitchy has a Breathtaking art style, and has some of the most interesting and fleshed out ocs!!! Definitely check em out!

3. @calcium-cat i know cals been gettin a little bit more attention over the last year or so, but i still think she deserves much more recognition for her art. She has wonderful and thought out fanfics, not to mention the funny and well drawn fanart she posts for them!

4. @glitchysquidd I dont pop in as often as i used to, but glitchy's blog is one ive looked up to for a while. Here you can find very well written fnaf fics and fanart, chill energ(not to mention hilarious shenanigans),and a very unique and distinct artstyle.(seriously broski ive used your art for reference so many time 😭🤚🏽-). I suggest you guys head down to the basement and enjoy the tour.

5. @meatygutsy oh gee where do i even start- this blog has some of the most unique and well thought out ocs i think ive seen in a very long time. The artstyle here and style of coloring and shading is like nothing else. All of the colors pop and go together just right, not to mention the well fleshed out backstorys of each character.

6.@glaucus22 while this blog certainly isnt as active as it used to be, this is yet another artist that ive used as reference for countless times. They have a very distinct artstyle, and put much thought into their characters and their lore. I highly recommend going through the art tags here and taking a peek, along with a reblog or two!!!

7. @ijustwannahavefunn another blog with VERY well thought out and styled ocs, and a to die for artstyle. I also recommend checkjng out their youtube channel, which has VERY smooth animations and animatics. Definitely a hidden gem.

8. @vrnicky is a very good friend of mine that is WAY WAY WAY too unrecognized. They dont get NEARLY enough love for the anount of love and hard work they out into their characters and art. Please show em some love for me!!!

9. @loupy-mongoose is a favorite pokemon ary blog of mine. While you might find mostly mewtwo and mew stuff, please know that this is because of this creators mewtwo comic. You may know what im takling about if you know about similar more popular blogs (@/xxtc-96xx @/mewtwoandme and more ) but what separates this blog from many others is their very very different story, and an artstyle that'll put you at ease. Not to mention unique and well thought out mew and mewtwo designs.

And lastly, for now at least ,10. @whiteartblood an art blog that i havent visted in a couple months. This creator has some of the best undertale art i swear. One of my favorite styles!! A very lovely and instantly recognizable artstyle(that again, i have used for reference...i dont even know how many times), and even better ocs.

Now i know there are so many more blogs that are deserving of recognition, but its late and i cant look up 50 usernames at the moment.

However, while you are not obligated to, I sincerely hope you go show these guys some love(and reblogs!!!!!!!) For me. These guys have been a very big influence on my art, artists ive looked up to for YEARS now, and luckly for me some of them even being friends of mine, which im so very thankful for.

Ill definitely be making another post like this, with more writing inclusion and even more deeply hidden gems that require some digging.

I apologize for any typos that are unfortunately guaranteed as thats kind've what im known for lmao <- has made a fool of herself countless times) and i cant help but feel nervous that these talented people will see them, but know ive done the best ive can.

Thank you, and have a great time everyone!
