do you have any advice for new writers? i was thinking abt writing but i have no idea where to start

hello anon! this is my second time ever giving advices i think . . . and i’m very grateful you reached out to me for something like this, even if i don’t think very highly of me as a writer lmao

but that being said, here are some things that helped and are still helping me since i started writing <3

READING A LOT

follow me alright. reading helps increasing your vocabulary, and it also helps learning phrases and how to put words together, if that makes sense. it probably helps if you’re a foreigner writing in english, which is my case, but i still believe that there are many many words that we never heard and reading anything can help us learn something new.

DRAFTS

don’t be scared to have too many drafts, unfinished work, just a phrase or even two words. it’s okay, you’re just putting down something that came to you and sure don’t want to forget.

you don’t have to finish everything all at once. this is super important if you’re writing for fun, and in the past years i used to scold me for being too slow and stopped writing for a long period of time bc i didn’t feel good enough.

remember : take your time.

LONG FICS

if you’re writing long fics (multiple chapters, etc) i recommend writing down everything about your original character (if there’s any ofc) such as basic info, backstory, what they like / dislike, etc.

not only it helps you develop a complete character, but then you can keep track of your creations, so you won’t find yourself thinking “did my oc enjoy […] or not?” for example.

it’s also super fun imo, it helps spreading your imagination and your ideas. don’t be scared to put too many details too!

GENERAL ADVICES

now, these are a couple of things i just want to say before finishing lol.

1. don’t stress too much if you think that your story is obvious or anything such, remember that you are the one writing it, so of course it sounds familiar to you.

2. if you plan to post it on tumblr / ao3 / wattpad or anything else ig, don’t look too closely to the initial amount of ppl that will interact with your work. remember that you’re mostly writing for yourself and your own enjoyment, so don’t worry too much about it. it will come any time soon and people will give you feedback and show real appreciation to your work <3 so yeah, i speak like this bc when i was younger i used to delete my stories bc very few people interacted with them and i don’t think that’s right lol.

3. if you have a close person you trust, you can ask them to read your work if you’re unsure about posting it online. maybe someone else opinion about it can help, or also hearing just a “yes, post it!” can do the difference.

4. if you don’t know where to start, you can also search for prompts online so you have a starting point and it also can be used as an exercise. it helps me whenever i’m in a writer block.

5. HAVE FUN! don’t be scared to put silly things in your stories, don’t be scared to put a plot twist, don’t be scared of trying something new! it’s your story, you’re the one writing it. i assure you that out there are people who are gonna enjoy your stuff. don’t be scared of trying to write something new for you, you can always learn something. and that’s amazing in my opinion.

that was it, anon. i hope it helps you a bit <3

Some more pictures from the last time I wore this cosplay, hopefully I can do a full photoshoot soon:)

[manasurge]

Your custom fanspec... tell me about it 👀

:BLUSHYSMILEYCATEMOJI: hehehe well, it is mostly done, it just needs the polishing up for proper posting display with the accompanied drawn diagrams and colour coding (also it's quite old at this point, started working on it a year ago and wanted to work on lore stuff so I put it on hold, so the doodles look kinda bad but oh well alsjdfsdfj). The one main thing I just have to make her Reformed Mordrem minions to display the rest with the little visual diagrams, but I can post what I have done here so far <3 (this is actually the first time I've posted the updated state of this WIP since I last talked about it last year lskjfs. So sorry in advance if some of this seems janky as I haven't gone over it in a hot minute) Note: I also wanna redo the icon thing to be more of an eye instead of the lotus since it makes more sense literally and thematically and to just try to make it look better in general. For context my OC Mourynn/Vallotash (same person kinda) is Mordremoth's (parasitic) Scion in a weird imposter (syndrome) situation (leaving that bit out for now), and her whole thing was inspired by the ??? area in Jahai bluffs with the one quote that inspired her existence "Are you a dragon dreaming that it's a hero? If you were, how would you know?", where the area also matches her colours thematically too, and why her Mesmer abilities all revolve around hallucinations and tapping into the "Dragon of mind/plant, roots/madness, etc." where the spec also evolves slowly over time as she develops, but it does get amped up during LS1 with Scarlet being responsible for kickstarting it (as she brainwashed Mourynn to help cultivate the Dreamthistle into the Toxic Offshoots, and from there with HoT and so on as things got worse and this just evolved into it's own thing, haha). Super abridging explanations (and badly lol) since I feel that part with the Toxic Alliance and those spores were an important step towards this becoming what it is. Also I still need to decide on names for some things, but oh well ;w; ANYWAYS! Mourynn's custom Mesmer elite spec (WIP):

Hello! It is I, the OC loving Anon! I have been sent to ask about your OC... Ahh... *Checks hand* Clover? And his life as he gets together with a certain Fledgling.

Please info dump about this big guy. The people want to know more! 🤍

hello !

HAHA okay so like clover is my combat medic OC that basically just bullies his way into @bunnysnared's fledge's life after his several visits to the medbay.

sit tight and let's talk about all things clover! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

bare essentials (what makes clover... well, clover):

• big lad (6'3ft/190cm) • 31 y/o • rank: sergeant? (he's been PMC for a while) • clover has this choppy mullet situation because he hates short hair, but needs the sides trimmed for his headset to sit snuggly. u won't see his forehead often lol • piercings that def need to be taken off for an op - 3 on his right ear - 5 on his left ear - a labret piercing (lip) - and many more! (😏) • a neck tattoo of a stag skull and a wreath of laurels surrounding it • his lucky coin (that he bets other's lives on) • a freggie charm (a weird frog thing he adores) • an ambiguous accent (sounds like he's from london, but he definitely isn't)

the story so far or whatever:

Clover was a medic for a task force specializing in interrogations and intel gathering, but was thrown to the wayside after a traumatic back injury that temporarily takes him out of the field. Retirement isn't an option for guys like him, so he's made a medic on a uk base with his own little office. he hates paperwork, but what can u do, ykno. his bedside manners are horrible and his superior Fish isn't too happy about that, but he's too good at what he does to let him go (and even has clover trained for a position as head medic to replace him lmao). he settles into the routine of a sterile environment and possibly says goodbye to getting back out into the field. but here arrives fledge, in for a patch up. and another. and another. clover becomes a lil obsessed with him (read: falls in love with him) to the point of training to get back into a task force fledge's on as their combat medic. the captain likes him, so he's inducted in without any problems. or smth. LMAO. the rest is clvrfldg history.

what the bastard is like:

clover doesn't care for regulations. its obvious in the way he looks. he's one step away from being kicked to the curb and dishonorably discharged from medical malpractice. (i.e: coin tossing if u live or die or if he should give you anesthetic lmao) but he's damn good at his job, so they don't want to lose a great asset like him. all smiles that don't reach the eyes, and eyes that never shine, he's unreadable. you won't get a lick about his past or anything about himself. its like pulling teeth because he'll redirect a conversation back to you. very observant (and a bit of a sadist lol). uses it to his advantage as a medic, its what keeps him sharp (and a bit mean). will notice the little details and patterns and use what he can to turn things in his favor. manipulate mansplain manwhore or whatever lmao

also clover isn't his real name it's [REDACTED]

ty for reading this far and for the ask! hopefully this gives a better understanding of my baby boy!!

[gomzdrawfr]

This may cheer you up some. My pipes busted a couple weeks ago and I’ve slowly been crawling underneath the house to fix them a little at a time.

Sadly I am currently have a bit of a terf war with a big brown rat.

We’ve started calling him Jo Cheddars. Obviously he works for the small mammal mafia. Someone must have put a hit out on me because last time I was down there to fix the pipes he ratted me.

I came away from the interaction with more fixed pipes and two small rat prints on my ass.

HUJKAKDSHJK NOOO NOT JO CHEDDARS!!

5, 9 & 21 for Lucinda!

LUCINDA - ASK MEME

5. Describe a memory from childhood they think of fondly.

I won't lie. I've been cookin' on some ideas about memory wiping during her time in the blackship so a lot of her childhood memories may be lost to her now anymore. 😔 But for fun let's say this:

Watching her mother put on her Imperial Navy uniform when she was a child. Her mother's long locks of curly hair tied into a tight bun, helping her into the uniform and pinning all the medals and accommodations onto it. She remembers her mother's words of encouragement, of what her future serving the Imperium will look like as she gets older and what an honor it will be. Even to die for it. A small thing of comfort Lucinda carried with her after her mother passed away in a ship battle.

At least before it was taken from her.

9. What was their Darkest Hour? How does it affect them today?

Answered here!

21. Do they have any notable markings? Scars, birthmarks, tattoos, etc.?

The plating on her jawline that extends to the lower half of her head from some totally normal sanctioning processes (instructive beatings / psychic mind and willpower testing / mindwiping 🥲) Tucked beneath the mass of hair near her ear she has some surgery scars as well from implanted limiters.

She also has some tattooed wards on the roof of her mouth to prevent her from speaking the names of Ruinous Ones. (Yes w40k dark heresy vibes let's goo lol)

annnnd her hair is notably greying at the roots a bit early from the long years she's been channeling her psyker abilities. 💖🥰

GALETASH SILENCE!

answering questions about my wip list

this is exactly what it says on the tin haha, written for the prompt "galetash + silence". I was planning on doing something a little more intellectual but I'm a simple man I can admit I find it very very hot to take someone who is very good at what they do (say, magic) and then to take that away from them and leave them helpless...and I might have gotten slightly distracted by that... this one is being handwritten so no extract from it but I'm a little over halfway done with it I think so hopefully should be done in the not too distant future!

[candycryptids]

Send 💄 to see them in their going-out attire for Tuesday!!

So I DID do Tuesday's Going Out Attire a little bit before [Here] So I went ahead and had another crack at it for fun, showing off Tuesday's Beach-Day-Out kinda clothes. He's not much for splashing in the surf but it's a lovely day at the Moonfire Faire with the guy he likes :3 .... It's just strawberry juice. Tuesday's hands aren't shaking at all when he wipes a bit off of Haurchefant's mouth. He's fiiine haha. Haha.

[reds-skull]

Hi sending this as an ask so you can answer it whenever it’s convenient.

The Hunter (and his men) knew way to fucking much about Simon and it was fucking creepy (great job!). The only person I can think of who would have that info and motive to go after Ghost would be Roba. He’d have the knowledge and hatred of Ghost and it would take time to build back his forces after Ghost dismantled them the first time. Turning and placing moles, building up a loyal army with enough money to hire Ghost not to mention the (red)skull motif and his apparent age. I know I’m probably wrong but is fun to guess and I’m super excited to find out what’s going on regardless.

I really liked this fic and I’m sad it’s almost over Ghost and Soaps relationship through the whole fic was handled really well and I think felt organic. From their first meeting (Soap was feral and Ghost didn’t know what to think lol) to Soap repeatedly saving Ghost’s life (metaphorically and literally) to eventually finally trusting each other (and those around them) and realising their mutual feelings.

Gaz is the best friend ever and is not paid nearly enough to put up with Soaps (and now Ghosts) bullshit. The man was ready to throw down if needed but still listened to trusted and trusted Soaps judgment, meanwhile Price is having multiple nervous breakdowns (respect) and is still keeping is children men inline and on task. He feels so guilty about failing Simon and MacTavish when it wasn’t even his fault both times to begin with it was out of his hands. This time though he’ll save them.

It’ll be interesting to see what Laswell turns up with after she finishes hunting down their leak… I almost feel sorry for whoever it was.

I loved the parallels between the story and the snippets of poem, that was so well done and cool! Am I correct in reading that you wrote those poems yourself? Because I didn’t realise till I got to the end note and wow i don’t even have words… I thought they were off some old poetry anthology I’d never head about and was going to look it up to read it.

Hi! Thank you a lot of the kind words <3

I do like your theory about Roba being the Hunter, and I do agree it would be the only logical option for their real identity... if it weren't for the poems.

I'm so happy you found Soap and Ghost's relationship dynamic organic, it was a part I struggled with, and I'm not sure that I managed to execute exactly as I wanted haha

I feel so bad for Gaz and Price in this AU, unfortunately everyone kinda got the short end of the stick with how the turn of events meant the 141 was never fully formed...

I don't plan on showing exactly what happens to the rat Laswell eventually finds, but you can be assured they'll probably suffer. She can definitely be scary when she feels the need to.

And I'm so so glad you mentioned the poems! Yeah, I wrote them but I was heavily inspired by a specific collection of English poems from the 10th century (the correct word for it is a codex actually but it's basically a collection). I'll be going in depth about what exactly is going on there in the post script, because it's basically another story I told in parallel to the main one in the fic. And I'll certainly give the name of the codex so you can read it, it's a little complicated to understand because it had to be translated from Middle English (and apparently every word there can be interpreted in like 3 different ways, not to mention the amount of missing pages and possible mistakes from copyists, but that's part of the course with books from over 1000 years ago...). The stories told there, and the language they used to convey them, is really unique and beautiful in my opinion.

I was kinda sad when no one seemed to bring it up, I figured most people just skipped them or they were just sort of too confusing lol, which is why I'll basically explain what I wanted the reader to understand from them in the post script (which I plan on posting at the same time as the last chapter, unlike with Not Alive, Nor Dead). The post script will also have a timeline for the fic, and how exactly it diverges from canon, as well as the deleted scenes and an extra poem I couldn't fit in the fic.

For now, I'll say the true identity of the Hunter is tied to those poems, and their character wouldn't really make sense if you skip them...

Do you have a face claim for Yael at all

Sort of? I once stumbled across this first image of Nikola Selezinko and it captured Yael's vibes so perfectly that she has become Yael's face claim in retrospect. The difference is that Yael's curls are more outspoken.

[stinkrascal]

I literally look at things that are red or silly white animals and I think of Breanna so I’m sorry for sending so many asks 🙏 the embassy! you mentioned Nadia and Helena’s relationship, but how is the headmasters relationship with the other embassy members (we’ve seen so far) take your time with the story girl Idc I literally could wait a year!! <3

this is so stinkin' cute, you're just like me fr 😭😭❤❤❤

nadia's relationship with the other embassy members is... fine. she certainly trusts their abilities and knows they are very capable, and the group knows how to have fun together too. but she also knows all too well that at the end of the day they're still vampires with their own agendas and their own desires. any of them could turn on her, attempt to upend her hold of power, or abandon the coven altogether, and this reality keeps her distant from those in the embassy she feels she cannot fully trust. she's certainly friendly with them, but not nearly as familiar as she is with vladislaus, who she knows will never disobey her, or helena, who she feels shares her interests in expanding her power.

i'd say she finds inessa the least offensive, though unambitious to a fault; she finds marcellus to be fickle and sloppy with his duties, but he gets the job done and he's always a good laugh; and she believes yakov is the one most likely to attempt to upend her power, solely because he's the most capable and pragmatic vampire of the group (besides nadia of course), not because he's actually made any attempt at her power.

basically... she's paranoid af 😅

You just reblogged my FHSY post with some EXCELLENT tags and I wanted to say you're so right the pair the spare stuff was bizarre. I ended up liking where Sandra Lynn and Jawbone went in SY but at the end of FY it's so weird. Also I'm following you now because you're a self proclaimed Murph girlie and SPMGs like us need to stick together

(aforementioned tags)

ty bestie!!

truly TRULY the worst part of FY for me. like, i super get that they were trying to wrap stuff up after having a super intense combat, so i also don't, like, hold it against d20 that much?? and maybe it would be even less tasteful to me if we didn't have icon and aroace ally murph (and brennan ig but murph like. INITIATED this plot line) giving us Allo/Amatonormativity Personified as baron.

fwiw, im not 100% romance repulsed either. and i GET that teen romance is part of the genre they're trying to convey in fh!! i just think maybe it should have been limited to the teens, at the very least in FY. it's SO awkward and personally i think reads as "brennan had some (head)canons abt who got together with who, eventually, but it's the last episode so there's no time to seed that in a graceful way if he wants his two cents out there." which is his right to have ideas for who among the adults get together, but like--the entire focus of the whole season was the bad kids, not their parents. so it feels weird when your thoughts abt who ends up dating, even if there is SO MUCH context and build up in brennan's head, are presented as a loose thread being tied up in a bow.

ignoring my complicated and by no means exhaustive feelings/rambling on the topic, if you have not listened to naddpod yet i cannot recommend it enough!!!! yes im a murph girlie and i LOVE his dm style (recently saw a comment on a post saying naddpod has less patrons than wbn bc "brennan is a better dm" and it made me FERAL. i get it i shouldn't have read the comments in the first place, and also you (the commenter) hate consequences and dope encounters. literally no one can say a DROP of MURPH SLANDER unless they have listened to eldermourne finale AND c3e27 the king of dragons. combat and encounter design dm of all time FR!!!!)

but i just love how despite naddpods tight editing, you can tell just how much murph, emily, caldwell, and jake care abt each other both as people and as their pcs. emily has literally said the way jake INSTANTLY decided that hardwon loved the crick made her feel always welcome at a table with him. how much the cast makes each other laugh, or cry, or feel any kind of emotion.

ALSO moonshine is SO aroallo coded to me. axmurph aspec allies fr fr. naddpod dnd podcast of all time in my heart <3

HI YOU MIGHT'VE BEEN ASKED THIS BEFORE BUT,, what brushes do you use? Saw your art with SRS and I'm in LOVE and wanna do a style study + whatever brushes you use look really satisfying to use!! :0

Your art is!!! gorgeous!!!! I love!!!!!

first off ty... i honestly wasn't expecting that drawing to pop off like that HA as for the brushes!! these are all clip studio btw.

for the base colors i used the hard charcoal brush from this set

for clean up i use the first hee brush from here

most of the brushes i used are from this one! used the speckle brush to lay down colors and then blended it out and then just went ham with different layer types. and when in doubt use color jitter, its my best friend
