out of all the mikus why did i pick maneki miku to make the cosplay by hand. why did i do this.

#like i think im a pretty damn good seamstress for being self taught and being able to pattern pretty well on my own #but there are so many little details and small things and i am struggling to piece together how im gonna go about patterning her top #bc its kinda a weird cropped half haori with fucking SCALLOPED SLEEVES with LINING AND THE SCALLOPS HAVE GOLD SCALLOPS ON TOP #so its hell 👍#struggling big time

Day 5 - caf since my scribbles can be totally illegible, here’s a transcript Obi-Wan: Here you go, Cody Cody: Oh, thanks, sir Cody: this... it’s caf? Obi-Wan: Ah, yes! I’ve noticed my teas are not really to your tastes, so I stocked up some caf for you instead! I hope it’s okay Cody: ... oh Cody: ...thank you.

#codywan #obi wan kenobi #commander cody #star wars #tcw #starwarstober23 #little comic #I absolutely love the trope of them doing flimsiwork together and drinkin tea and caf #and Cody doesn't really like the teas Obi-Wan gives him but drinks them anyway because no one has EVER offered him something like that #and he'd rather jump out of an airlock than hurt Obi-Wan's feelings #so he sucks it up and drinks it and maybe even almost likes one blend or two #but ofc Obi-Wan notices at some point that Cody obviously isn't a big fan of teas so he'll get him caf instead #and if Cody already marveled at someone offering him something like tea this is a whole another level #a cup of caf is practically a love letter to Cody #I love them so much #codywan every day all the time #THEM #idiots in love #I also always struggle with coloring comics like do I color them or not????? so they end up colored kinda in this half-assed way usually #also if it hasn't become clear yet I can't draw backgrounds and struggle with that too so everything always takes place in some weird LIMBO #my arts

Oh my god, poverty brain makes big purchases so freakin scary. I know I need a laptop. I will have tons of downtime at work and I can't cart my three monitor gaming PC into work on slow days. So I need a laptop. I had some help picking a really good one and it's gonna do the stuff I need. But it's still such a big chunk of money. *Sweats* I have done it. But it was hard.

Luckily it sounds like my accommodation is getting reviewed for real this time and I should have more freetime at the small store and on my days off to take commissions again! I can also resume working on my comics as I've got a tablet going spare that I can take with, so all that is very exciting.

#the prospect of having spoons to create and time to do so is alleviating some of the Big Purchase feelings #the last time I was making big money I still really struggled to buy stuff even when I needed it #and one time my beloved took me shopping for clothes and I racked up like a $500 bill because it was all way nicer than I've ever considere #and I literally couldn't pay. I was like I want these clothes and I have the money but it's so painful so my beloved took my wallet #and shooed me away and the worker was kinda laughing cause I know it was ridiculous but I was so anxious #ramblies

recently thinking about how it might be useful to incorporate some kind of face covering into witch attire..

#the cat witchs guild #the misc adventures of mochi and lime #tcwg #tmaomal #mochi #art #ocs #original #beta #make it a little harder for the m-34th to know her if they dont know her face #also make it easier to draw npc witches if i dont have to draw their whole faces lmao #inspired by mourning veils...not sure if theres lore significance there or not #but it looks cool as hell #i think between the hat and the veil most times you cant see their faces unless its for cool shots like this #plus i dig the scaramouche vibes of big hat + stuff hanging down #which can be as long as you want... heheh...very ghost looking...#magic to put your hair up into the hat and get it out of the way while youre fighting #also adds another layer of anonymity if you cant identify someone by their hair #i think its the kind of thing that as a witch you dont need to struggle with your hair just perfectly gathers into the hat as you put it on #she is so her...prettym...

I guess old feelings don't disappear that easily

#thinking about her always and forever #trauma isnt easy to overcome and even if/when u do its not like it just leaves #rynes so used to living in anothers shadow that figuring out herself must be hard #especially when its interwoven with the complicated relationship youve had with the person you cared for the most #like ryne clearly looked up to and cared for thancred deeply even when he was fucking up #a big part of why she was struggling so much the entire time was because she wanted thancred to care for her as HER #and not just minfilia reborn #but she couldnt really see herself as anything else and thancred had his Whole Deal going on #so even after things get better and their relationshop mends itself #shed probably still have some fears about the whole situation #like what if im just a replacement still?#and such #okya thats enough ranting. im so Normal about her ok im the Normalest ever.#ryne waters #thancred waters #minfilia warde #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art #xander being insane about ryne

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot-#-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd)#damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid.#Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph?#I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!)#and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls!#she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

Redraw of my first post on this blog. Oh how far we've come B'*)

[Now with it's own redraw!]

#better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Credit where it's due: the first one is from November 2022. So its been a bit longer than the post date implies.#It was always part of the plan to re-draw my first wangxian art at the end of each season #but wow I really didn't give enough credit to the power of drawing every day for the last half a year #I've really loved doing this B*) I have found so much confidence in accepting the fact I'm not a 'non-artist' drawing mdzs comics #I'm a REAL artist drawing mdzs #and this is just the start!!!! I will keep drawing and improving and learning! and I will have a big smile like this every time -> B*)#I'm stunned that so many people found this blog so early on. Despite the roughness of my art...yall saw what I struggled to see #which was someone who was worth it #That and how art really is what you decide it is. I thought It had to be perfect. It doesn't need to be perfect. I see that now #I love you all so much! I am so much happier than I have been in years!#Sorry for being sappy twice in a row I promise tomorrow I'll be your little jester again

#first time he reads the shirt hes like what is a mayo--rrrr #ask #kidxelqua #my art #sketching #his little.. adam sandler fit.......#he probably fell in mud or something and needed a bath and then grian realized he does not have extra kid clothes #<- tho in that case he shouldnt have the white shirt under but whatever #grian doesnt even wear shorts. those are the one pair he has. when he tried to wear shorts.#<- had to tie the strings for him tho #the shirt.... he was a bit thinner back then. struggling to yknow. exist.#its still big on xelqua but fits. when grian sees that hes like. was it that bad. why does that somewhat fit you

everything is the same except Odile is the one looping

oh. heheheheh. muahahahaha. hold on *digs through my pile of disorganized sketches*

Odile loops au; a sketch compilation!!

Some old fic drabbles + associated sketches under cut (a6 secret spoilers):

hc: Since equipment carries over, as long as Odile uses her book in a fight, she can write down notes and have it carry over loops

toxic doomed yuri (for a more fleshed out fic I highly recommend The Sweetest Thing by soreimoon, it's amazing)

#isat #odile loops au #in stars and time #isat spoilers #isat odile #odile timeloop au #congrats on unleashing the hell gates of odile looping au!!! I've thought about it a bunch!!!!!#contexts:#candy is a reference to sasasap i think. not sure if odile likes candy though #i think it'd be funny if odile struggled with understanding how shields work for a bit. she spends several loops asking mirabelle for help #I think odile would actually spend more time in the loops once she's sure she can just loop again. They're not actually in a rush after all #and she might as well maximize her loops #under cut:#she leaves all of her excess books with loop. Loop has another thing to do while waiting #yes loop is still you know who in this one #toxic doomed yuri is just very self indulgent teehee thanks discord folks #not depicted: I also think that the more loops she does the more she views them as experiments #with variables to control and test #that's where she starts falling off the deep end and start testing stuff like. not warning siffrin about the rock #(instantly regrets it though. loops back the first time she tries)#day 26 today?#A big one! Have funnn #you can tell some of these are really old by the different colored background lmfao #isat au

Getting Ao3 comments really make a difference.

First because the comment count encourages more people to read the fic. But also because I can go back and re-read them to keep me motivated. To see that people care about my fic.

I love getting feedback in DM or a server, but it's not the same as getting that ao3 email. Chat moves on, comments stay visible.

Just a few words, a keyboard smash or even an emote will do the job.

#it is a big reason why i struggle to continue dhl2 tbh #my brain managed to convince me nobody cares when the comments stopped #please don't hate me #I'll not whine about comments all the time #i just felt the need to voice it once
