learning from my mistakes ; writing the first and second draft of my fics, leaving them for two to three months to stew and THEN coming back to them, after i've begun new projects and read a couple of a dozen more things in orden to refine then SPLENDIDLY before i begin posting them. it takes time, but i am more satisfied with myself that way <3
O GOOD FOR YOU BABY! there are a few fics I had to do this with too, courtesan gojo being one of them!!!! sometimes you just gotta step back and return with a new perspective. there’s nothing like feeling satisfied with your work <3 proud of u

Lasombra fashion show?
Now how did you know I've been meaning to draw fashion 'shows' for all the clans…?
But! Here's some Lasombra fashion stuff for you!
+ bonus because I love bullying Lasombra abt their tech issues (:
#vtm#vampire the masquerade#clan lasombra#lasombra#outfit design#mine#*24#ask#lasombra is kind of interesting/difficult imo in terms of making a fashion 'style' for them bc they're very varied internally#from corp goth shadow ceos to religious leaders to streetwise survivors. theyre unlike their counterpart ventrue in that their appearance#isnt rooted in sociological reasons as much as theyre personal ones imo. if that makes sense lol. but i tried to do a few different things!#something classically lasombra and then some more modern discreet + showy stuff. hope you like em? <3#for me lasombra is like dark fuschia-violet-purple and gold. silk velvet and dark lace. and ofc religious symbols#none of these guys have backstories or names or anything btw i just threw shit together. its easier to make up styles for chs#that have a story or a personality but like. i cant put rafael in this stuff or whatever lol he's kinda boring fashion wise#i thought abt doing shadow fashion too but i was like. thats way too impractical.#i kinda wanna finish those tremere fashion 'sketches' too. and maybe do some of deja's outfits bc she's a fashionista. there's also my#outfit wips for rose who's a ventrue... but also i wanna do freaky sabbat outfits... and a toreador look book... and finish the new#nikifor tzimisce fashion looks... help mee. at least the tzimisce one is like 85% done i just gotta work on the extra stuff a little -_-

Wait are writing a fic for your au cause im like down to clown with that?
ehhhhhh not really, unless by some miracle genuine writing motivation/inspiration hits, which is about as rare as a lightning strike these days!
sometimes i jot down scenes or conversations & post unedited snippets, but i haven't written a full fic or oneshot in.... since February! but hey! chances are low but never zero
#HAS IT REALLY BEEN AROUND 7 MONTHS??? DAMN TIME FLIES. IT ROCKETS. IT ZOOMS AT LIGHTSPEED#like there's stuff i Want to write#like the decapitation fic & the laughingstock fic & stuff for aus.....#but geez. man. Fuck....#my writing skills have atrophied and so has my Brain!#though i am going to be proceeding to the final stage of my Big Move next month so....#maybe once all this bullshit is over ill be in a space where i Can write#(and also respond to my friends which is killing me inside but this aint about that)#bc i am down to clown as well! but the clown in me is actually a jester. and that jester is jingling miserably across the floor#rambles from the bog#the tension between me & writing/editing a full fic is thick enough to cut with a knife#but yeah i had it good for a couple years there!#i was writing at Least a fic a month! my ao3 has 53 works of batman fanfiction (in varying degrees of quality) wowee!#*loosely batman. mostly his kids. w/ some yj or supers sprinkled in for Flavor...#but Anyway i would looooove to spice things up#And Post Puppet Fic. maybe some moomin....#or even original works! or flight rising! idk! i wanna expand my inventory!#once again guiltily looking at all of my dc wips. sigh

<You told him your name,> Johnny said, quietly. <Your real name.>
<All names are real,> V murmured.
They were drowsing still, flirting with consciousness but otherwise content to lie warm and naked in bed. She was exhausted after their exertions, but too stubborn to fall asleep for more than a few minutes at a time, which suited Johnny fine. He’d missed her company, if not her bitchy temper, and it was just beginning to hit him how little time they had left.
<You know what I mean.>
V gave a small sigh, an admission that she did, in fact, know what he meant. Takemura’s thumb rubbed idly over her hip, and she yawned and put her hand over his. His quiet, pleased sound produced a little starburst of happiness in her chest. Gonk.
<I thought at best he’d tolerate me, you know?> She was tracing the outlines of his knuckles along the alternating patterns of metal and synth skin as she spoke. Johnny had expected her to evade with a pithy remark, or maybe clam up again, but instead she was just quiet for a while. Pulling together all the little threads of her mind. <Never had anyone do that for me.>
<Tolerate you?>
<Care if I was happy.>
Considering the usual caliber of rat bastard she attached herself to, it wasn’t surprising, but it still made him angry. He could feel, underneath it, V’s soft exasperation at the reaction. He sighed. <Breaking my heart, V.>
Her lips tugged into a smile. <Sorry.>
#these two won't leave me alone they're just constantly rampaging around the attic#going from singular pronouns to more plural ones as these chapters go on is making me go feral#johnny's varying discomfort or comfort with things indicated in how much a part of him he decides they are#how he doesn't even bother to mention takemura is there until he has to#just. mr. protagonist of the universe narrating here lol#wip wednesday#I think I'm still behind on my tags but I will catch up o7#a pair of open graves

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!) I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

sometimes im like yea i understand this character. i know their personality and the deeper surface structure that people can pass by in favor of the shallow structure. i understand them and can comfortably articulate and write about them beyond their canon material and know it to still be true of them
but then i'll see a mutual's meta post or just a really good post in general and then be like how foolish am i to think i understand this character at all. this is how icarus died. i am fooled by my own hubris and now i will suffer the consequences of possible mis-characterization
#see this is why fiction can be so great and also not so great#bc it is meant to be looked at with varying perspectives and contexts#but that also means that you can be right and also wrong about a certain character no matter how hard you try#and i am so so terrified of getting a character wrong in a huge fuck up way#yes this is regarding the lrb and my anxieties are stemming from this wip for the dick grayson big bang#biting off more than i can chew sometimes!!!! choking on it!!!!

WIP game (because that was a lot of fun BUT as it is shamelessly indulgent on my part please don’t feel any need to answer if you are finished with these!): grace, guard, bend, vicious, and 😉 home?
✨ send me a word & find it in my wip! ✨
you are absolutely right it was in fact a lot of fun and i am 100% down to do more of them !!!! i am never done with an ask game y'all can always assume i am down to do more of something, even if it's old lol
Inadvertently, the new position puts his and Mav’s stature at about the same size, and as the TV show that neither of them really cares about plays on, Bradley finds himself tipping a little further into Mav’s side, aware of the old man living and breathing in the same room as him, alive and healing and somehow full of grace for Bradley even though he doesn’t deserve it.
(i don't have anything for gaurd !!! yet anyway. this is a travesty)
The bruises have all faded away and the stitches are gone, and there is only a reasonable tinge of discomfort about his still-healing rib cage now and then if he happens to bend the wrong way or twist too sharply.
(aaaa i also don't have anything for vicious unfortunately!)
Home is a person, more than a place, if the empty-seeming house in Miramar is anything to go by, but when home is a person you’ve spent years driving away, what do you do when you want to go back?
#star unasks#brambleberrycottage#enjoy lol! The Main WIP is only about 25k words in atm so there's not too much to choose from yet#and the side wips are both around 3-5k atm. so. hopefully as i get more done it is gonna be more varied lol#mine#top gun#stars scribbles

#wip ask game#writing memes#some of these are actually fairly descriptive! some less so! but still!#i am gonna go look for more meme things i can waste my time with now!#the ones with brackets do actually have brackets i didn't just add those here to be fancy#i'd say of this list maybe 3 and a half of them are Fucked Up so that's not bad!#and only 3 of them are Mostly Just Filth!#(there may or not be in filth in some of the others BUT!!! not the whole plot!! other stuff happens too!!)#these fics vary from 'i have most of this written' to 'i only have two sentences of this but i also have BIG DREAMS'#at one point i had *two* Lokius Stockholm Syndrome WIPs but one of them has ended up part of '5 times seduction' and i shuffled bits etc#I JUST RLY WANT THERE TO BE MORE (ANY) DARK LOKIUS FICS IN THE WORLD OKAY???? D: D: D:#if you're asking why i have had to label something as NOT THORKI FIC... umm... the sylki-to-thorki pipeline is TOTALLY a thing#but i am not going to write the Actually Incest Pairing it's just that this one has a bit where thor thinks his bro is hot#IN A PLOT-RELEVANT WAY DAMN IT.

❤️ Happy WorldBuilding Wednesday! ❤️
What are your cities or towns like? Feel free to talk about the layouts or the people or the architecture, etc. and to talk about more than one if you'd like!
Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday! Thank you so much for this question. I hope you don't mind long, rambly answers, because I do have answers.
It depends a lot on where you are. The first city we see in the fantasy WIP is Mirenghot. It's a tent city somewhere along the biggest river that flows through the Alinay Steppe. Every year in flood season, Ciraeg Miren, a family/herd of Huudzairen (the unicorn antelope centaurs native to the steppe) leave their fire and freeze season homes in the foothills of the Nyctine Mountains. They find a place along the river where they can build a bridge, and there they pitch tents and call drinking wells and wait until people from all over the land arrive and add their boats and tents until Mirenghot becomes the biggest city on the steppe. It grows and thrives through the end of flood and into flower, and late in flower people begin packing up their tents and leaving.
The bridge goes away, but some of the first tent poles planted to start the city stay. Sometimes they burn away during fire season. Sometimes when the ciraeg is exploring along the river, they find old tent poles, but they can't start the city there because rivers gonna river. If the poles last through several years, they root and become trees that call clean water by themselves, and they become an oasis on the steppe.
Over in the Nyctine Mountains, the Padanche live in very different villages. They're living cities, the homes and other buildings all trees that have grown for countless generations. They're hollow, forming rooms that can grow things like shelves, stairs, benches, tables, and other necessities. When one of their inhabitants dies, their loved ones will take them high in the mountains where they are left for scavenging birds, and later they retrieve their skulls and come home to find an alcove opened inside the walls of their homes. The skulls go in the alcoves, which slowly grow around them.
They call their villages risongs, and the only dead building in them is the smokehouse. Not a lot of outsiders find their way to a risong because the Nyctine Forest itself is steep and full of thorns and sharp rocks and it's passively hostile to people it doesn't know.
On the other side of the Nyctine Mountains, overlooking the Tsaltich Sea, there is one of the biggest cities in the whole world: Tsalta. It's built up and into vast cliffs. Each building and home is a different bright color, many of them covered in elaborate murals. Everything is green and growing. Tsalta is known for its thriving trade, but also its vertical gardens and roaming goats and chickens. No one in Tsalta ever goes hungry. Even though the city is vertical, and it contains many stairs, there are lots of ways up and down that don't require climbing or walking. There are long, easy ramps winding through the mountain, there are different elevators, mostly water-powered, and there are animals and vehicles (drawn by animals, by people, or powered by types of magic) that you can ride.
Inside the Nyctine Mountains you'll find the Loghani. They're known for living in the darkness, but their name in their own language means People of Light. They live in elaborate, connected caves that sometimes open high in the mountains to allow beautiful gardens, and all of their caves are painted with bioluminescent murals.
Like the risongs, not many people outside of the Loghani have seen their cities, but that's less because they're hostile than it is because wandering through unfamiliar caves alone is a terrible idea that often ends badly. People sort of know that outsiders aren't allowed in the caves, so they don't ask. People who do try asking often do get invited in. Just...don't go anywhere without your host.
Zaya's from a rural area where you don't have real cities or towns nearby. There are clusters of farmhouses where people live near each other in the corners of the land they tend. Zaya's home, where she lived with Miyarki, was near a major road, but not especially close to any of the settlements. It was in easy walking distance from her family, but they needed space on account of all the monsters Miyarki brought home to nurse back to health.
Not long after they met, Zaya escorted Miyarki through the Castravi Mountains to Gabramoia, the thick jungle where Zaya's mother originally came from, and home of an academy known around the world for the fine barrier magic and animal healing and medicine they teach there.
The area is dangerous, full of monsters and more insects than anyone can count. The ground is treacherous, muddy and likely to swallow large things when it isn't fully underwater. The city and the academy are arboreal, built high in the trees with growing vine bridges as the roads. Part of why it's so known for barrier magic is because the students at the academy maintain barriers that keep the entire city safe. And it's a huge, thriving city.
By the time the story starts, Djaetyrot is long gone, but Aleksani shows Zaya the past, including the city by the river that starts high in the Nyctine Mountains, crosses the Alinay Steppe, and once flowed through Djaetyrot. The academy tower there overlooked a low, sprawling city of round buildings with peaked roofs that are built in spirals to fool the wind and keep out the snow. Its surrounded by vast fields that quickly fill with crops during the short, intense growing season, and all the brightly painted buildings stand out again the white snow during the long winters, when the city is still bright and full of life and activity.
Finally, I don't know if it'll appear at any point in the book, but beyond the Tsaltich Sea, there are several communities on the ocean. There's one of fishers and mermaids built out of barges and boats and floating homes tethered together.
And there's an archipelago where there are villages of living buildings. They aren't like the huge, ancient trees in the risongs. The walls and ceilings are woven out of quick-growing, flexible trees, and they aren't expected to last long. The villages are constantly growing, moving, and changing. And the islands are populated with tiny, brightly colored feathered pigs.
The feathered pigs can't fly, but they can glide. And if you cook and eat one, you'll find out they kind of taste like tuna. Throughout the islands, they're loved and tended and also a vital source of food.
I think there will be a seaside village far north near where Djaetyrot used to be and where the river now meets the northern sea, but I'm not sure if we'll get there, and I'm only vaguely aware of what it might look like or how it might work. If we get there, it's full of Djaetyli people trying to preserve whatever they can of their lost homes.
There's probably a lot more if I think a little longer. I'm wondering if I need to eventually consider if there are more stories in this world because there's a lot to explore.
Thanks again for asking, presuming you stuck with it this long!
#writeblr#worldbuilding wednesday#worldbuilding#untitled fantasy wip#fantasy#queer fantasy#all the varied cities of the world keep distracting me from actually writing the story#I love working in this world

i'm so glad you guys like this costume! it is one of my favorites. but I put my absurd pumpkin pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else.
...literally
anyway, here are some construction/project notes/wip photos in case you don't have 50 minutes to spare for the full video about making it!
inspo wise, The First Book of Fashion: The Book of Clothes of Matthaeus and Veit Konrad Schwarz of Augsburg [this is an affiliate link] served as the major influence for this. the book is basically documentation of what this man and his son wore to major events in his life over a period of decades. he was getting ootd painted before it was cool.
the base pattern for the pantlegs came from another pair of ridiculous pants I made a few months earlier.
the paned portion is made from homemade piping sewn to strips of jacquard that are backed with twill tape to prevent fraying.
I made so much fucking piping for this oh my god. each of these strips was 20"+ long, both sides have piping, and these are the panes for ONE LEG. there were also sleeves. we're talking like 60+ yards of piping.
perhaps unsurprisingly, these strips were too thick to gather. so instead I had to overlap them to create the shaping over the leg. it looks OK but isn't ideal.
after this was done, velvet ribbon was sewn over the marked point to hold them in place.
oh! I also sewed a layer of mesh over the orange base fabric to dull it somewhat and provide contrast before sewing on the bands.
the upper portion of the pants was made from even strips of velvet and jacquard seamed together and fitted over a cotton base. the appliques were added to cover the fact the stripes meet at an angle at the side seam, and I sewed on orange sequins because I like sequins.
the happiness I felt when this fit was immense, I must say.
the bodice is two pieces, one for the front, one for the back. it laces up the sides with hand sewn eyelets. it wasn't very flattering as just an expanse of orange of the chest, so I added appliques to the front and back, too.
the black detailing around the top edge is made from varying widths of velvet ribbon.
the sleeves have similar elements of everything shown above--a paned upper portion, velvet ribbon trim, and a bit of lace at the cuffs.
unlike most of my projects the sleeves have no lining forcing the shaping, what you see beneath/between the panes is the chemise worn beneath this. it's made from the mesh used as an overlay on the pants with a jacquard/velvet ribbon collar which you can see peaking out above the neckline of the bodice.
oh! and then there is the pumpkin hat! there is a video on patreon about making this somewhere, I think.
and it's just that easy to live out your renaissance pumpkin prince/ess dreams!
