#sorry if this is worded badly

Idk if anyone has already asked you this, but for how long have you been drawing?

Cliché or not, I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil.

Here is art from when I was 6

Here is art from when I was 9

Here is art from when I was 11 & then 13

Obviously I sucked when I was 11. Haha.

After 13ish, I completely stopped drawing until around a year ago where I picked art up again. I’ve always looked at art in the interim though, & I would draw on occasion but that’s all. My art “journey” is really non linear. I basically got really good for a 10 year old in the furry community and then quit for a long long time until I randomly drew Donnie Darko one day and went “Hold on dude�� I forgot I can draw. I should do that”.

(Donnie Darko art in question) ⬆️

Art has always been my passion, whether I was the one drawing it or not though. Although my true ideas regarding art have really developed in the past 2.5 years really specifically, it’s been an interest and defining part of my life since forever.

Here are drawings I made almost exactly a year ago, when I was still really coming to grips with the kind of art I want to make. I still have a very very long way to go in terms of everything.

I appreciate your asking. Sorry I couldn’t include more photos, I have hundreds upon hundreds of images of my art from since I was around 5. Alas there is an image limit on mobile.

hi guys- if you placed a commission on June 15 and so on- I'm so sorry for the delays- My laptop issues on early July had me lose approximately 12-ish days of work and I also had to restart 6 commissions because of lost data. I feel terrible and crunching really hard. I've replied to everyone's commission updates, but this post will be in general. I've also had some physical health issues since July 21st; I've been working overtime trying to finish almost 6 drawings a day, I promise I'm working as hard as I possibly csn, so am hoping for everyone's kind patience. I've been working 7 am to almost 10 pm just catching up; I've not been able to clean my room or read or play video games do anything- it's partiallsy my fault for taking in too much, but I am not making enough money to take care of my household of four with three very disabled peopel (my dad has chronic heart issues, my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold, and my mom is a full time wheelchair user who cannot live indepwndently). Have three jobs atm, and I do not want to let anyone who commissioned me down, I want the drawing to be delivered to folks looking as best as I can possibly make them, and that means I need more time. I apologize and hope so much for your kind understanding, I really really did not anticipate to be off schedule like this. Thank you so so much for understanding, I hope to work as best as i can for you guys!

in my tybalt fic, tybalt wasn’t just mad at mercutio for taking their sword. sure, that was part of it, but there was more to it. it was the fact that mercutio had tricked them.

tybalt doesn’t trust mercutio, but when he asked about her sword, he let his guard down a little. because no one ever cared about their special interest, tybalt thought that maybe, just maybe, mercutio was genuinely interested.

and when it was clear that he was messing with them, it hurt. it hurt her to know that he didn’t actually want to know about the sword or their spinterest. that fucking infuriates tybalt.

they just wanted someone to care. even if it was mercutio, of all people.

first of all that wasn’t about you, second how tf are ppl supposed to know you aren’t yt from an anonymous ask???

"writing a billion page essay on how the fandom mischaracterizes him" right after the very long ask just seemed. not a coincidence to me. Sorry if I was wrong about that and jumped to conclusions i shouldn't have. also I feel like people assume random strangers on the internet are automatically white often. I wouldn't expect people to automatically know I wasn't white but people also probably shouldn't automatically expect that I am white. this website is extremely white most often but not everyone on here is.

I really hope that when I’m older I’m able to get diagnosed with HPD or whatever it is that’s wrong with me. the thought of being neurotypical and not having anything wrong with me scares me because then I really am just like this.

Dunmeshi promotes the importance of balance for both a healthy body and a healthy mind, and optimism vs pessimism is one such case <3

geologist remus AU in which he has the largest rock collection known to man but it’s all granite and sandstone and other rocks that no one else thinks look cool

he has his rock hammer and his hard hat and he spends his days in stupid rural areas just looking through soil and in rivers for things he can break open or put under a microscope, and he takes samples home in his pockets even though it means there’s dirt and sand everywhere

queue sirius, who knows nothing about rocks but knows that some minerals are shiny, and he has a great time fidgeting with the pretty minerals that remus thinks are “too boring”

bonus points for remus doing a taste test on his rocks to determine what kind of minerals they are (because yes, that is a genuine way of determining mineral type)

It's actually disappointing to see someone make a good point about how "AI fics shouldn't be posted on AO3" and people immediately go to how "it's a good thing it's tagged so it can be excluded" and then practically jump OP about it.

Maybe it's just me, but while I agree AI fics should be tagged as AI fics so they can be excluded when you want to search for genuinely written by a human fics... I don't think they should exist in the first place, let alone be seen in the same regard as other fics that are written by actual people.

It's not about it being tagged.

It's about how it shouldn't exist in the first place.

AI fucking sucks and I don't care to have to add another thing to exclude when I want to find a fic to read because people want to steal and generate trash and add it to a collection of fics that actually have feeling to it.

I rather read a fic with no paragraph breaks, incorrect capitalization mistakes and grammar errors (sometimes I do, I'll be honest, we all been there and we learn) than that AI bullshit.

It shouldn't have to be tagged in the first place if it doesn't exist.

Not to be that bitch, but if you're out here still saying Colin never apologized for the whole "I would never court Penelope Featherington" i think you need to maybe actually rewatch episode 1.

He very much does, as soon as he can once hes aware he hurt her. He addresses literally everything Penelope said hurt her about it. He says what he said was cruel and hurtful, he says that hes not embarrassed by her, he tells her hes changed and regrets doing something that hurt her. Its the most genuine apology anyone in this show has given.

How any of you have walked away from that seeing it as a fake apology makes me genuinely question what you think an apology is. Is he meant to fall on his knees crying and begging her to move on? Thats not an apology. Is he supposed to go "I'm sorry I fucked up, you're actually soso cool and so much better than me and everyone else" because thats love bombing.

Colin did it right, he came to her privately, apologized, addressed how he hurt her, reassured her he's not embarrassed of her and views her as his best friend, and said that he'd changed. Thats the correct way to apologize, thats how adults communicate. Everything that happened after that was in response to Penelopes frustration at her inability to be someone viewed as desirable in their society, and Colins want to prove how much he cares about her.

If we want to talk about non-apologies in this show, Colin is far from the first character in that line.

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

Roy and Jamie doing the celebrities read mean tweets thing but instead of from random people, it’s just all the bullshit they tweeted about each other that the other didn’t see in the time between Roy blocking Jamie on everything after Jamie tagged him in a tweet about how overdue Roy’s retirement was and Roy unblocking him but not telling him and just waiting for him to figure it out himself once they became friends (not that Roy would ever admit that that was what they were)

(Also, they definitely regularly seemingly unprompted tweeted horrible things about each other and fought online before that but neither of them blocked the other (or followed the other) because they preferred tagging the other in their bullshit for extra annoyingness but Roy was just at his limit for putting up with anything when he retired so Jamie said something not even as bad as usual and got blocked instead of the public argument he was anticipating)

Keeley’s like oh god this is a bad idea I’ve seen what they both tweeted and there’s no way this isn’t going to end up with them both pissed and probably getting into a physical fight

But instead, they both find them hilarious and there’s a lot of “oh, that’s a good one” and “that’s not your best work. You said worse to me this morning” and it’s the most Roy Kent’s been caught on camera laughing

[ cw: dismemberment / ]

I think a lot about how Leo’s rescue could have easily ended in him losing a leg as the portal snaps shut on the Krang still clutching the limb, or, alternatively, only having Leo’s right arm make it out, still held dearly in his brother’s hand as the rest of Leo is left behind. (The latter hits even harder, as it directly parallels his future self in the worst of ways.)

I think a lot about how so many things could have gone wrong during the course of the movie with even a little bit of a change, but it really is harrowing how much of a coin-flip the entirety of the Prison Dimension rescue was.

yeah that ship is fine it's whatever (<- hates it badly but doesn't have any reason to and doesn't want to seem like an ass over it)

[jounosparticles]

one thing i really like about fukuzawa and fukuchi is how they still look at each other and talk to each other with such fondness despite everything that’s happened.

there’s very little anger however a ton of sadness between their interactions as the DoA plot rolls out.

when fukuchi was seen as nothing but evil yet fukuzawa still couldn’t kill him. logically he needed to but his own heart couldn’t take the pain of losing someone he cares for so heavily. i find it displays fukuzawa’s humanity well.

the man who always tries to do what’s right even if it’s the hardest decision suddenly can’t because he’s so conflicted. he can’t keep confronting his best friend.

he can’t kill this. they were both so happy and full of life not that long ago.

they even take the time to reminisce on those memories. it’s like the subject is being changed to avoid the inevitable.

look at the way they sit as they talk. fukuzawa having very closed posture since he does not want to have this conversation. fukuchi having open posture because he knows he’s doing what is best.

it really shows how a long bond can really change your perspective on a person.
