literally worst thing ever when you're so close to being done with a fic and then suddenly you get an additional idea that could make it much better but it would mean having to go back through the 10k+ words you just wrote to add it in there as some big detail

Free radiator

The wind howled outside as you made your way to Ellie’s garage, the icy air biting the skin of your cheeks. You wrapped your scarf tighter around your neck, shivering as you pushed open the heavy door. Inside, the dim light from the lamp Joel had put in the room illuminated a bunch of scattered items and clothes thrown on the floor. Let's just say that Ellie wasn't exactly the best at keeping her room tidy.

“Hey, you made it!” Ellie’s voice broke through the silence, warm and inviting, bold contrast to the chill that still reigned in the garage.

She was sitting on her old couch with a steaming mug in her hands. Her hair was tousled, and her cheeks were slightly flushed from the cold.

“Barely!" You chuckled, rubbing your hands together for warmth "It’s freezing out there, my fingers were about to fall off.”

Ellie laughed “Come here, I’ve got hot tea. It’ll warm you up.” She patted the space next to her, and you felt a rush of happiness as you moved closer.

You took the mug from her, savoring the rich . As you sipped, the warmth spread through you, melting away the cold as you quietly thanked her with a kiss on the cheek.

After finishing your drink, you looked around the garage, and a shiver ran through your body. “What should we do to warm this place up?"

“Blankets!” she declared, getting up from her seat. She rummaged through a nearby drawer, finally pulling out a colorful quilt that looked like it had seen better days.

You couldn’t help but laugh when she wrapped the fabric around you two, enveloping you in a cocoon of warmth. “This is much better,” you said, snuggling closer to her side.

Ellie grinned, her eyes shining. “See? Who needs a fancy heater when you’ve got blankets..." she paused for a second and then looked up at you "...and me?”

“True, you're my personal radiator ” you teased, leaning your head against her shoulder.

You just relaxed in her warmth, closing your eyes and smiling when Ellie's hand reached behind you to rub your back.

But at one point, Ellie reached into her pocket "I was almost forgetting" she said while revealing a small silver bracelet "I saw this on patrol, it made me think of you” she said, her cheeks a shade of pink.

Your heart fluttered as you took the bracelet, adorned with a couple of little plant shaped charms “Ellie, this is beautiful!” you exclaimed, slipping it onto your wrist.

Suddenly, she stiffed a laugh.

"What?" You asked confused

"The plants charms remind of when we climbed on that stupid tree last summer" she said, her voice softening.

You both laughed, the memory of the reckless climb still fresh in your mind. “And you fell down on Joel's flowerbed” you added, grinning.

“Okay, okay! Enough about that!” she said, playfully shoving you.

After that, you weren't exactly sure of how the situation evolved but a wrestling match soon started between the two of you, trying to claim more of the quilt. You squealed, both of you laughing as you tangled together in the blanket, your hearts racing.

Eventually, you both collapsed back against the plush couch, breathless and smiling. The cold seemed more bearable now.

After a few moments of quiet, you turned to Ellie, your voice soft. “I’m really glad we have this time together" you whispered, thinking of all the time she had to leave early for patrol only to come back home late, and of course, exhausted. Not leaving much time for the two of you.

"You make everything feel right.”

Ellie’s eyes twinkled as she brushed a strand of hair behind your ear.

She just smiled.

As you shared that quiet moment, the world outside faded away, leaving just the two of you.

With a content sigh, you leaned into her, giving her a kiss, letting the warmth of her presence envelop you as the wind made the leaves dance outside the window. And right there, in that old and cold garage, you knew you were exactly where you belonged.

A/n: this was so much fun 😭 let me know what you guys think 🤍🤍🤍🤍 MUAH

[DOWNLOAD] DESATURATED (DEFAULT & CUSTOM) NEIGHBORHOOD CACTUS - UPDATED 07/09/2024

This is really a veeeeeery simple and fast texture edit on the neighborhood cactus that I made for a personal need! I didn't change the mesh, but only the texture, making it less saturated.

I had this file on my PC for a while and I was unsure whether to upload it because I haven't seen anyone playing with this type of desert terrain, but... maybe it can be useful to someone?

As you can see, the desert terrain I use is very light and that very saturated green didn't look very good with everything else, so I needed a desaturated cactus!

I remember that before removing all the default flora I had, the cactus were already desaturated, but searching through my removed cc I couldn't find a single default cactus (I guess I had a default of the lot cactus that also changed the texture of the neighborhood cactus at this point?)

The thing was...I wanted a cactus with a nice color without using a default that uses a high poly mesh, so I decided to just change the texture of maxis's cactus!

Unfortunately it's not a default replacement (I still have to figure out how to extract the hood decos with the included object data, so I can use the original guid and create a default! Please, if anyone knows how to do it, tell me ;;)

The desaturated color is the same from both the neighborhood and the lot-view and is very similar to the cactus for the lots! (And darker seems to have better quality too, I guess?)

[screampied]

could we have dick headcanons for Toji, Nanami, and Sukuna, please? 🥺👉👈

ooooooooooo

toji — he’s very thick. 🙍‍♀️ like i think i would hc toji with a pretty hefty base, and somewhat of a upward curve to him. his tip is pretty plump and is a mixed colour of like pinkish / red. also, i think toji’s well trimmed, but rarely. like he’ll have hair regardless but not too much. he has a pretty matching happy trail that runs down his chest, and he has a few black hairs that coat around his dick. i would rate his dick 5/10 because u don’t know where it’s been tbh !!! that man will fuck anything 🧎‍♀️( id still fuck )

nanami — nanami’s got a good size to him, he has more of a narrow base with a more round / larger head + tip. he’s very well trimmed, and his tip is more of a light pink beige colour. i feel like if he didn’t trim much, there’d be a few blond hairs scattered around his base. he has breeder balls, i said it 💔. like if u wanna make a baby, nanamin is ur go to. also would like to say out of all the jjk men, i think personally nanami would last the longest. like he’s all for self control so it doesn’t bother him, but when he cums it’s A LOTTTTT. i’d rate his dick 9/10 bc he is husband material <3

sukuna — OHHHH. lol i like how it’s this ongoing thing in jjkblr where kuna has two dicks 🙍‍♀️🙆‍♀️ but yeah if we’re basing on that he is very huge. you won’t be walking for days, no weeks. he is veeeeeery thick. duplicate at least three toji cocks then you get sukuna. especially if he’s in true form OH. sukuna’s very veiny i feel like . . like he has about two long veins that run down the sides of his dick, and whenever he strokes himself his tip closes in and out and he gets harder. very plump base. i think he either could have a c-shaped dick or a upward curve / downward curve, or even straight. he cums a lot also, but it’s actually unnecessarily a lot like he has RIVERS of cum. i’d rate his dick 100000/11000000 bc i’m biased and i love kuku 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

[kirans-underland]

I like to imagine Rook doesn't know what gay sex is or how it works... prepping him and he doesn't know why you're doing that, only that it feels nice and he doesn't mind waiting to suck you off if this is what waiting means... and then you put the tip in him just to make sure it fits and suddenly he's veeeeeery confused but trying not to moan too loud... and then you tell him to get his back off the bed and ride and he's so shocked but does it and you get a whole show of watching him trying to fuck himself on your cock but he's too pathetic to keep a pace or lift himself as high as he wants bc going too high makes him feel empty.... fucking him from below as he moans like a bitch in heat and begs you for more because it feels sooooo good, and you're soooooo big, and please don't stop, keep going, faster, harder, deeper, please-

Mmmm big Boi very tight inside......🤤

Rook whose thick thighs fail him when it comes to riding. He has all the looks but none of the skill.

[idontknowreallywhy]

Very veeeeeery remotely linked to Day 2’s prompt (blink and you’ll miss it) but here is a bit of a sequel to Inebriated Fishtank… in which they have not entirely ceased to be under the influence…

💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚

An enthusiastic steel drum version of ‘Under the Sea’ blared out and Scott slammed his hand on to the comm, eyes still screwed shut… if he didn’t open them he wasn’t awake. And it could have been a butt-call…

He’d never prayed so hard for it to be a butt-call.

“Hey heeeeeeeey Scooooty-McNoodle!!!”

Scott pried an eye open to glare in the general direction of heaven…

“Hello Gordon. Which police station?”

“I am OFFENDEDED ancient brosicle! How could you pres… presufimicate such a thing?”

“You don’t need bail? Then why are you calling me? Go to bed you drunken fool.”

“Ah yea about that… “

‘What about it? Just sleep it off.”

“So… funny story! My fuzzy wuzzy beary pops actually did the whole arrangementing of beds thing.”

Wait.

Scott’s brain clicked up a gear from basic muscle memory to something resembling cognition.

“Gordon where is Virgil?!”

“He’s here!”

“Can I speak to him?”

“Um… noooooooooo”

There were several voices worth of giggling, none of which sounded like Virgil.

“Who’s with you? Where is Virgil?”

“Oh how rude of me over here we got…” There was a clatter and his brother’s voice faded out amongst some more distant giggling before Gordon returned, piercingly loudly:

“Stooopid floor. Anyways here we got Florrie, Alice and Alexi, say hi to Scooter ladies, he’s my biggest olderist bro and he’s even sexier than me and old dribbles here.”

A chorus of “Hi Scooter”

“Gordon! What’s wrong with Virgil?”

“You gotta say hi!”

“Gordon!!”

“You’re being rude! Say hi to the ladies!”

“Hi ladies” Scott muttered.

“NICELY!”

Scott knew an immovable squid wall when he heard it. Fine. He turned up the charm, and the volume, to max.

“Hello ladies!”

“Owie! Geez bro.”

“Virgil, Gordon?!”

“Yeah he’s pretty handsome. Look… see? He was on front’ve Vogue that one time. Still single too! Sure I can give you his number…”

“GORDON!!”

“Heeeeeeeeey bro. Love you bro. Love all the bros. Specially the grumpy turtle one.”

Scott tried another tack

“I love you too squid, but what happened to the grumpy turtle one?”

“Hezzzz a snooooozy liddle turtle.”

“So he’s in bed?”

“Nooo I toldja he’s here. Say hi Virgie.”

Silence.

“Awww he droolin’”

Scott was beginning to join the dots here.

“Gordon, please tell me Virgil wasn’t trying to match you?”

“I can one hunderb percival tell you that.”

“Would it be true?”

A pause and a definite snort in the background.

“Noooooooooooooooo”

Oh no.

If he’d consumed enough to make Gordon tipsy, there was no way Gordon and three women were going to be able to move the bear. He thought Virgil knew better.

Scott got up and put his trousers on. He could get to Brisbane in a few minutes in One…

There was more giggling and a deep bellowing laugh followed by a grunt.

“Omigosh I’m sorry I can help… gimme his arm… oopsy tha’s ‘is leg.”

More rustling noises.

“Oh I am sooooo bad manners! Scotty you gonna say hola to Juan too, he’s helping.”

“Hola Juan. Gordon, where are you? Do I need to come get you?”

“Naaaaw we goddim Scooteywoo”

“Then why are you calling Squid?”

“Need the bed place.”

“I don’t know where he booked Gords! Stay put I’ll come and get you.”

“Nawwwww I wanna take him to the art tom… tom… tomorning. Art ‘n waffles…. I pinky promised the Virg!”

Scott rested his head against the wall and counted to ten.

“What do you need Gordon?”

“T’get in his phone! I dunno his pass-thing! Need to find the resersermmmnn”

Scott did know it There were a million and one reasons why Gordon did not.

But he could either spill the beans now and take the consequences later, or head out to find them just in time for one or both of them to be sick on his shoes. Or in One. He shivered. No option really.

“Gordon you have to promise not to do anything bad with Virgil’s phone.”

“Yeah yeah I’m a good fishy”

“Gordon, pinky promise me.”

There was a tut and Scott could almost hear the eyeroll.

“I can’t reach your pinky to promise!”

“Fine. Pinky promise Juan then.”

Gordon did a stage whisper

“He doesn’ know a huge lodda English Scoobydoo.”

“Ok err” Scott racked his brains “could you put um, Alex was it? On the phone?”

Gordon huffed.

Rustling.

“Well hello there, handsome, this is Alexi.”

Pushing down the desire to bring about Gordon’s imminent demise, Scott had a sudden brainwave and put the charming voice on again. Yes, giving a total stranger access to his brother’s phone was a risk but less of one than allowing Gordon unfettered access without the security of a pinky promise - generally accepted to be the only law he considered himself bound by.

“Alexi listen carefully, I’m going to give you the passcode. Could you use it to find the reservation then lock the phone again please?”

“Sure, honey.” The reply was breathy. Intimidatingly breathy.

“Ok, you ready?”

“I’m all yours”

Shudder.

“Exclamation mark, eight, one, zero, zero, capital D, lower case Y, exclamation mark; capital F, one, five, lower case H, exclamation mark.”

“Ok honey that worked, I’m in. I’ll get your brothers to their hotel. I’ll leave my number on your brother’s phone just in case you need it later, ok?” She was essentially purring now.

“Oh that won’t be…” Scott paused. He needed all the allies he could get here.

He cleared his throat “That would be lovely, thank you for your help Alexi.”

There was a shriek and more unmistakable giggling as Scott hung up with a wry smile before collapsing back on to his bed and closing his eyes. Good luck Juan and co.

Aa he drifted off he considered how it was a shame Virgil would have to change that one tomorrow.

It was so apt.

Lawsan where Law gives his shambled-off dick to Sanji to do with as he pleases for a day.

Law is waiting and waiting for Sanji to get freaky with him.

Meanwhile Sanji's too embarrassed to do anything with it, so they have to try again :')

The second time tho!!! Let's just say once Sanji gets over his initial timidness, Law has a veeeeeery long day ahead of him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Raphael comforts you (Raphael x reader)

A/N: I had a pretty bad breakdown and the only thing that helped me back up was writing this, so yes, it is very personal (self-indulget feels like the wrong phrase to use). This means that our boy is veeeeeery OOC, but I don't care, I needed this for me. I decided to share because we all need some comfort at some point.

Raphael knew something was wrong the moment he walked in. 

On other days, she’d rush to greet him, smiling. But now, you were facing the window and he was greeted with your back. You didn’t even bother to say a ‘welcome home’ or acknowledge him in any form’. If you were anyone else, he'd comment on this rudeness, but you were you. 

Raphael silently approached you. When he was only a few feet apart, he spoke. “What happened?” 

You took a deep breath, trying to steady your voice. “People.” 

The devil immediately began to worry, and took another step forward. “Did someone harm you?” He asked. “If so, I will make sure they suffer a horrible death.”

You put your hand in your head. “No one did anything to physically harm, it’s just” you sighed. “I don’t think you’d understand.” 

Raphael huffed. “I’ll be the judge of that, dear.” He allowed himself to put a hand on your shoulder. “I may not be fully human, but I have lived a thousand years. I am well versed in the ways of mortals.” He spoke softly. “Please, tell me what ails you.” 

You covered his hand with yours. “I just feel like I give so much to others and receive very little in return. People walk over me and I cannot find the strength to stop them, because every time I’ve done so in the past, I got shouted at.” You paused. “Everyone else is allowed to be tired, to have their own personal problems, but I’m not. The moment I speak up, everyone throws rocks at me.”

He noticed the way your head dropped. “I want to be normal. I want to be like everyone else. I’m so tired of being hurt by something as fickle as a word. I’m tired of being this emotional over everything.” You began to sob. 

“People tell me not to care what others say but how do you do that?” You turned around to face him, tears streaming down your cheeks. “I cannot stop caring, I cannot stop feeling, and I hate that. I hate these feelings and I hate being like this.” You covered your face with both hands and cried. 

Raphael moved forwards and enveloped you with his arms. You cried into his chest, holding onto his blue jacket. He caressed your hair and your back, not saying anything. He just let you cry in his chest, not bothering that the tears would stain his clothes. 

In that moment, all that mattered to him was you. 

Eventually you let go and looked up at him. “I wish I could be all the incredible things you tell me I am.” 

He cupped one of your cheeks in his hand. “But you already are.” His gaze softened when he saw you looking down. “Look at me.” Raphael asked firmly and you complied. He placed his other hand on your other cheek. “I will indulge you with a secret of mine.” The devil whispered. “I am a selfish, egotistic, and insecure man.” He admitted. “I buried my feelings for so long, I’d forgotten I had them. My whole life was spent wishing I was more than I am. And where did that get me?” You shook your head. “Nowhere. I was betrayed by the one I favored, I lost all the power and reputation I had spent so long acquiring.”

You knew that, of course. Haarlep had once confided in you about Raphael’s downfall. How a group of tadpole adventurers had betrayed a signed contract. How he had lost to the very one who had endeared him, oh so long ago. 

At first, you had been jealous to know about this Tav, and how much they had meant to Raphael at some point. But now, you understood that the devil you cared for was a different being back then. Sure, most of his arrogance remained, but you doubted that that Raphael would be admitting all of this. 

“But,” he continued. “I do not regret the choices I made, for they have led me to you.” He took a deep breath. “You, who are the most magnificent creature I had the blessing to lay my eyes upon. You, who would look at a devil and show him kindness, even if he didn’t deserve it. You, who are creative and talented and so pure.” 

Raphael took both of your hands and placed it in his chest. “I would not have you any differently. I do not care if you are emotional, if you care much, if you feel so deeply because it was by being this way that you have captured my heart, my mind, my body and my soul, if I have any.” You chuckled at that, remembering one time questioned him on the matters of his soul. “You know, it is quite hard to have a devil as important as myself wrapped around your fingers so easily.” Raphael smirked, leaning closer. “It is not everyone who would be capable of such a feat.” 

You smiled at him. “Ah yes, there is that smile.” He commented. You playfully rolled you eyes and leaned forwards for a kiss. 

It was short but sweet. “Thank you, for your words and your time.” You told him. 

“Always, my dear. If you let me, I will smite anyone who dares hurt my love.” He kissed you again. Taking one step back, he offered you his arm. “Now, how about we discuss our plans of revenge over a good meal?” 

You giggled and took his arm, allowing him to lead you away.

Hiiii Prism. Hey so. Wanna introduce me to Epic The Musical???? I see it on my dash all the time now but I never bothered to look up what it actually is. On purpose lol. Because at first I totally skipped over it thinking it was some Percy Jackson fanart, and then I thought it really wasn't that big of a deal, and now it seems to be a HUGE deal to so many people on Tumblr. And I enjoy the kinda not-in-that-fandom-adjacent tea-sipping vibe veeeeeery much. So. I literally do NOT know what it is. Is it like Hamilton??? Is it a Percy Jackson fanwork??? Is it neither???? You have now been given the absolute power over whatever you let me know. Because I have no clue.

Go wild. (Please haha.)

OH HI FRIEND!! HI BAB!!!

Okay okay uhhh finedje. I NEVER had to pitch something to someone without the ability to just physically sit them down and like show them before cause I'm generally bad at explaining things but LEMME TRY!!!

So so, Epic the Musical is a musical concept detailing the Odyssey that is being made and like chopped up into 9 sagas! We have 8 of them now so one more to go!!!

Made by the wonderful, and very silly, Jorge Rivera-Herrans, Mr. Jalapeño himself. He wrote it with the theme of ruthlessness in mind, as in when do we adopt the philosophy of being ruthless to other people and when do we show kindness and mercy. (I may be explaining this wrong, Jorge has so many little videos explaining his process about creating Epic, i might leave a link so you can hear from the man himself)

It's not like a Percy Jackson fanmade thing, I know Jorge has read the Odyssesy and is essentially adapting it into this musical in his own way (I say this cause some people just can't comprehend it being its own thing as an adaptation). I don't think Jorge has read PJO? I could be wrong.

It could be compared to Hadestown the Musical? BUT THE ONLY SIMILAIRITY IS THE LIKE ADAPTATION OF A GREEK MYTH INTO A MUSICAL, OTHERWISE THE GENRE AND STUFF ARE VERY DIFFERENT.

I will uhhh keep note that Epic takes heavy inspiration from video games and anime which has the musical take several creative liberties and not be a one to one of the actual Odyssesy. One example of like the video game inspirations is every saga having some sort of boss battle esque song at the end, as if you are going through a video game, level by level.

And the anime inspirations are heavy in the ways Jorge uses iconic anime imagery or like I guess visual tropes in his references whenever he commissions artists to do animatics or animations.

THAT'S ANOTHER FUN THING TOO!!! Aside from the thousands of fan animatics that come out with each saga, Jorge also just commissions art, animatics and animations from artists with each new saga that he'll debut during the album's live watchparty where we listen to the whole musical up till the latest saga. So we have like fan animatics but also in a way, canon animatics and animations on how things go down.

He puts so much care into the music and the like themes and and uhhh musical terms escaping my head but he carries over chracters and their musical motifs so well throughout the story.

He also uhhh does open auditions to EVERYONE like ANYONE could audition for Epic with just leads to so many hidden gems of singers and songwriters that he just hypes up so much, he hypes up their work in Epic and their own personal musical endeavors.

Some of the amazing cast are: Teagen Earley who plays Athena, TROY who plays Hermes, Steven Dookie as Polites, Talya Sindel as Circe, Barbara Wangui as Calypso. Of course, Jorge himself plays Odysseus and he is also just incredible vocally.

HE ALSO uhhh casts his family members in this which is super fun and wholesome and I won't spoil who they play cause its such a fun treat to discover as you listen.

Aaaaaaaaaaa what else-

It is also very silly, we get quite a few silly moments and I really enjoy that. Jorge is really good with sprinkling the silly moments in between the songs and just delivering such a good experience. A lot of the silly moments just become memes and that's also a fun time.

I just love the way he adapted the musical in this very very unique and amazing thing, it's this phenomenon of like story telling and music and also just a collaboration of art between not just the cast who come from so many places but also the HUGE community and I think that's the most special part, y'know?

I think that's all? Imma try to link some of Jorge's shorts and videos here just for fun and because he might explain things better lol.

Thank you for the ask bab! Hope this helps explain, I'm not that good at it lol xD 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 *hugs*

[gioiaalbanoart]

Writing interview tag!

Triple tag, so...I'm going to do this 😁

Thank you @moltenwrites 💗 @aintgonnatakethis 💗 and @the-letterbox-archives 💗

A couple of things : I'm an artist too so I might end up doing some parallels between painting and writing. Also....I usually talk A LOT 😁 but tend do be pretty dry in writing, so I might cut it short on certain answers

About me

When did you start writing?

Since I was in elementary school and I learned letters, probably. I used to draw/fake-writing "comics" even before.

Are there different genres or themes you enjoy reading other than the ones you write?

I don't have genres neither in reading or writing. Maybe themes ? Existential, spirituality, some kind of magic, investigation, love?

In fact what suits me the best is the follow : if I love the characters I go everywhere.

Is there an author you want to emulate, or are compared to often?

Compared? (laughs) No way! Salinger was probably a God. I still like Isabel Allende and there are for sure many others that right now I don't remember (also italian and french authors since I speak those languages , for instance Camilleri and Japrisot ). The list would be veeeeeery long.

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

A table. A need a table, and a chair or something I can sit on. And even so I tend to take weird postures.

What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?

I don't think I have a specific way. Sometimes just the Goddesses know where the muse is!

BUT I'm stubborner so I sit at my computer anyway or I wander around faking tiding the studio (if I'm gonna do art) and at some point she usually shows up.

Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and/or places you write about?

Probably somehow they're there. More at an emotional level I would say. Like I might write something completely unrelated (which is what I do) but I can connect the dots in terms of perceptions, sensations, emotions.

Are there any reoccurring themes in your writing? If so, do they surprise you?

Surprise? No. It's pretty much the same old same old for me 😂 both in writing and painting : healing, recovery,evolution,some kind of spirituality and soul magic.

Characters:

would you please tell me about your current favorite character?

It's easy 😂 I mainly have ONE and she's pestering me about focusing on her story. Ashley Knox from my wip The scarred angel.

The title was suppose to be temporary but I got used to it and I'm lazy to find something else 😎. Oh and I'm generally BAD at titles, I have the same problem for my paintings.

Ashley is a stunning beautiful girl with scars all over her face since she was sixteen and a bit of a temper.

She has to investigate about something happening mainly along the mexican border which means dealing with a pretty violent world, drug cartels and so on.

Amy Salinas, journalist with PTSD, will stuck with her, becoming first a friend than a significant other....at some point.

Ashley has also intention to take her revenge against who scarred her.

Which of your characters would you be friends with in real life?

I would definitely be friend with Ashley! Just I'll make her come here….it's a bit safer than where she lives.

which characters would you dislike the most of you met them?

Well, the one who scarred Ashley probably. He will be the worst in my wip....even if, by the time I'll be finished, I'm afraid there will be a few.

Tell me about the process of coming up with your characters?

LOL. There is no process.... They come in my brain and decide to stay there until I consider writing their story. Ones are more stubborn than others and those generally win.

Also they usually come (Ashley did) quite "completed", it's their story that I have to develop and then they grow and become wider and deepest characters. Like : when they arrive and squat my brain they don't say it all right away, I have to find out by myself.

Do you notice any reoccurring themes/traits in your characters?

I would say polarities and some kind of spirituality and personal moral code. then they heal, or grow or both.

How do you picture your characters? 🤔 I listen when they talk….then I try to figure how bloody hell I'm going to show their actions to the world 😁

My writing:

what’s your reason for writing?

I use to say that painting for me is like walking, I don't think about it, it comes naturally, it's just there. It was there even during the fifteen years I didn't paint at all. Writing on the opposite is much more complex for me, I struggle more and is more related to a personal healing process. The more I dig in a story, whatever the story is, the more I actually connect my own dots, I see a path and then go further, it's like evolving in the process for many different reasons but with the explaining part, since I use words. And it never goes straight from point A to point B, damn it!

Is there any specific comment or type of comment from readers that you find particularly motivating?

All of them, really. I get all emotional 😅 My problem is I have to make a REAL EFFORT to let the comment sink in....I'm still pretty hard to myself when it comes to writing and I don't believe fully the good comments. I'm trying to get better 😁

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

Jeez, I don't know. A badass ? 😂 If I surprise them in a good way it's all good.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

Maybe dialogues. I enjoy my characters talking .

What have you been told is your greatest strength as a writer is by others?

Oh dear,I don't have the answer. I recently wrote something pretty hard topic and apparently all the emotions I wanted put in went through ....so I'll take that.

How do you feel about your own writing?

I'm happy, it will get better, I want to have fun with it.

If you were the last person on earth, would you still write?

Oh yeah, and painting too. You never know....

When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, do you write purely for yourself, or is it a mix of both?

This is a good one! I would be lying if I say that sometimes other possible opinions (it's always all in our head!) never cross my minds trying to influence me.

But I'm also happy to say that I discharge the idea off quite easily now and just go on my way. Otherwise I would certainly ending to block myself completely. I know, I did it already.

I feel the unbalance in my body and soul and it doesn't click so it usually "dissolve" pretty quick.

Fluffy NP tag (and sorry if I double tag !! ) because I'm really curious and I don't think I already read them for this particular game : @alinacapellabooks @fortunatetragedy @lavender-gloom @lychhiker-writes @saturnine-saturneight @words-after-midnight @noxxytocin + OPEN TAG FOR ALL and a drink too 🍻 🍻🍻

You are an amazing artist… and so I’m afraid I must interrogate you for your secrets.

If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been doing art? How are you so amazing at it? Specifically, your scrumptious lines, your harmonious color palettes, the fan-freaking-tastic anatomy (hands fr), and overall ability to create drawings with the consistency of a marshmallow /pos

Please, would you share a secret/advice with us? 🙏

(Alsoyoursupercoolandamazing<33)

oh goodness gfdjkgjkfd now i'm sweating

i've been doing art... i'd say "seriously" since i was like. 12-ish. and since i'm 230 that's quite a long time-- ,,,ok no i'm actually 30 but that's still a long time. i've had periods where i didn't draw very much, but those have been really short. i definitely consider drawing to be my "thing", regardless of whether i'm good at it or not :')

ok so now you're just being a sweetheart kfjdkglfgfd i talked a little bit about drawing hands in an ask i posted just now but really jgfdkjgkfd it's all just a veeeeeery slow process. you don't want to know what my old art looks like. and that's a good thing because that means i've improved :D or at least in my own eyes i've improved. and i think that's most important :D

i don't think i have any secrets. i just enjoy it. i draw the best things when i'm having fun :D i'm a person who's reaaaaaally prone to stress and i'm also very result-oriented, so enjoying the drawing process is actually what takes me the most energy. but when it works it works :') and other artists and followers and random people i meet online or irl just being so supportive helps so much. which is why i try to be like that as well. kindness and positivity and passion will always make for more and better art

idk if any of this helps. but i believe in you!!! i reaaaally hope you can enjoy art and make cool things you want to make. your art will always be good because it's your own unique take. no one else has what you've got

Whumplr Intro

Asphalt

You can call me Asphalt, Aspha for short. I am a 24 y.o. He/Him. Tailor that now works in a Callcenter due to circumstances (speaking of Whump lmao)

My hobbies include LARP, sewing, costume design, reading, hiking and my dog.

But most importantly creative Writing, Art, World Building and anything that relates to those three.

I have been into Whump since I was a little kid. Some random Tabaluga Episode Where he was Chained Up (????) being my inciting incident.

After some years of lurking on Tumblr I decided to officially Join Whumplr with a Blog.

Asks are Always Open to anything. Please interact!

I can't wait to make some friends.

What to expect:

I will mostly do Arts and Writing of my OCs (Mainstory tagged with #m.a.l.e.u.) Including AU stuff because one can only fit so much suffering into Canon.

Sometimes I will also include some Fandom Whump (Mostly Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core and Iron Widow Stuff)

I will also do unaligned works and one shot scenarios.

Everything will be tagged with: tw //thing//

Tropes I like:

- Team Whump

- Defiant Whumpee

- forced to watch/forced to partake

- Fantasy & Scifi Whump

- Restraints

- Abduction / Kidnapping

- NON SEXUAL Non-Con Touching

What you won't find on here:

- any form of sexual Non-Con Stuff, Not even mentions

- involvement of alcohol (abuse)

So please also don't Tag me on anything like that since those are major Triggers for me 🙏

Nice to meet ya'll.

I will get into posting some older stuff soon and probably do some redraws from veeeeeery early Stuff (Like 2014 Drawings that are allowed to resurfaced)
