[l1m3g0r3]

I decided to draw one of my plushies I recently got because 💖💖💖

[thewoods-have-eyes]

Oh btw heres the scorn art wowee two posts in a day babey

[not-your-bro]

do you have any ud hcs? It could be anything idc

ooh, free rein! sure sure. josh + chris are def the characters i most frequently rotate in my mind, so some stuff about them off the top of my head...

josh

film studies major. i must admit i don't adhere to the psych major he's given in canon, though director/producer roles aren't my first choice for him either. he goes all-in on tangible stuff for his prank, so i put him in the practical effects arena.

artist in his spare time, but big surprise he's cagey about it. like, chris sees josh's sketchbook in josh's room all the time, but he's never actually looked inside.

with both movie sfx + art, josh is practical > digital, and he only dips into digital effects or art when he absolutely needs to. i just think he's a tactile sort of guy who prefers to make things with his hands, so creating on a screen alone doesn't give him the same satisfaction.

on social media in that he has accounts, but they're sporadically active at best. he can be slow to respond to texts/dms and his responses can be short, which gives off the impression that he's disengaged or bored. he isn't, he just doesn't want to be on his phone.

this is a longstanding hc of mine that i've absolutely mentioned before, but: designed hannah's butterfly tattoo! didn't really understand why, he was like you know your tattoo artist can do one for you, right. but she insisted, and he obliged.

gay as fuck. realized young, came out young, very comfortable. as demonstrated by the fact that, much to everyone's annoyance, he wears shirts that say shit like 'employee of the month at the dick sucking factory' in public.

chris

ok, so i've reached the point where the chris in my mind looks different enough that i get a little jumpscared when i see him in-game LMAO. i hc him both taller and heavier. he's gotta be at least 6 ft. and a chris hartley who's thin is no chris hartley at all. not to me.

does not come from money, like lower middle class. i have two totally different hcs about his family that both feel real to me: one is that he's an only child, his parents divorced when he was a kid (old enough to understand, but not quite a teenager), and he lives with his mom. the other is that his parents are not divorced, and he has a big family - lots of siblings. i've been going with the former in my fic lately, but both work for me. the constant is that his family's economic situation is more precarious than most people in the friend group, and family trips with (and funded by) the washingtons were his primary vacations.

has adhd. i find 'always on his phone bc he just loooves technology' less interesting than 'always on his phone bc he has existing attention problems.' this went undiagnosed for a while, and his performance in school suffered for it.

speaking of, he is not all-around school smart. like, emily may have strengths and weaknesses (even if she'd never admit them), but she can swing As across the board. chris cannot. he's getting good grades in classes that interest him or cater to his solution-oriented brain, but he's terrible in any class where there's no right answer. english, art - he does not get it. love him to death but his media literacy is Bad

bi as fuck, but it was a journey. thought he was straight for a long time, dismissing any attraction to men as a 'who hasn't had gay thoughts' kind of thing. i think it took him a while to come to terms with it bc he had a lot of internalized shit to work through. if a friend came out as bi, he'd have been like cool 👍 but him? surely not! he got there eventually though.

wowee this is long. as a lil bonus hc for another character, i'll add that i don't think jess went to college - i think she went to a hair/beauty school. she loves what a social job it is, getting to chit chat with clients all day, and like josh, she does best when she's working with her hands.

Day 25: Campfire/Left out in the Cold

Summary: Dethklok takes Toki camping.

Warnings: None

Click the link or read below

It was late in the evening when Pickles came out with a grocery bag filled with forked picks, sugar-free chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows. The sight was a welcomed treat after a long day of driving, tent-pitching, walking and fishing, and while Murderface found the energy within him to grumble a short complaint about the flavors, the men were mostly in agreement that they could spare some room in their stomachs for a morsel or two. Toki was the most enthused, and raised his hand immediately once Pickles pulled out picks of assorted colors and asked who wanted first dibs on blue.

The trip was a long-time coming. The idea arose shortly after rescuing Toki, but had been pushed aside for more urgent matters. Nathan mostly blamed himself, but Pickles, Skwisgaar and even Murderface figured they owed Toki as much, and should have done or attempted to do so while Nathan had been stuck in his funk. So a camping trip it was, and it was still on Dethklok-owned property, but the distance was far enough to warrant a pleased squeal from Toki once the band made their grand announcement.

It was Toki’s suggestion they snap a pick of their sweets and post it online. Normally, such an idea would garner a series of rude remarks, but tonight the guys allowed it without so much of a snicker. Nathan even managed a chuckle at the image of his then-molten marshmallow melting into a black sludge, and once Toki’s had joined it and sunk into the fiery picks, Nathan decided to show him the art of making the perfect s'mores. As he pulled another marshmallow from the bag, Pickles finished his double decker and proceeded to try choking the entire thing down while Murderface cheered him on. Skwisgaar, having lost interest after the first bite, returned to strumming his guitar.

It was, by all accounts, a lovely evening in the middle of the woods. Between the laughter, music and nonsensical drivel regarding Planet Piss, one would never notice the dozens of hooded men and women scouting the perimeters.

With graceful movements, Nathan eased his melting marshmallow onto the chocolate, and then gently pressed it all together without causing too much of a rupture. “Here ya go, kid.”

Toki smiled as he took his s’more in his hands and inhaled it in two messy gulps. “Mmmm, oh wowee.” His words were barely audible behind the wall of goo and saliva. ”Thanks, Nathans.”

“Yeah, no problem.”

As he wiped his face with his arm, Toki's cheery eyes darted around the campsite. Pickles leaned into the fire to light a joint. A glowing log snapped and erupted a glorious flight of white, yellow then red sparks into the air. Skwisgaar strummed, and once Murderface realized no one was listening, returned to his laptop to play games. “Dis has beens the best camping trip ever,” Toki commented aloud. All men glanced as he stared expectantly at him. “You alls has been so nice to Toki.” Toki humbly added before leaning his head against Skwisgaar’s shoulder. With his eyes narrowing into pleased little crescents, Toki affectionately rubbed his cheek against the older man’s arm.

Rather than push him away, Skwisgaar merely quickened the pace of his fingers.

“I haven’t hads a day likes dis in a long times” Toki continued, releasing himself from Skwisgaar to acknowledge the others around the fire. “Where we all dids what I wanted. And you all helps.” Toki turned his attention back to Nathan. “Likes when you helped pitch up the tents.”

“Ah, it was no biggie,” Nathan replied, then with a slightly hesitant glance, directed his attention to the barely pitched tent held up by the sheer willpower of three klokateers.

Toki then leaned back to his left, where Skwisgaar sat. “Or when you gathered berries and shrooms with me’s.”

Skwisgaar jolted in his seat and, after placing a wiry grin on his face, exclaimed, “Nothinks like getting my fingers dirties and stickies with unknown plants to feels alives.”

Toki grinned at Murderface. “Or going hikings with Toki.”

“What can I shay?” Murderface loudly proclaimed before reaching around to scratch his sunburnt neck. “It wash a blast. I, uh, love working out and shweating through three shirts in a shingle afternoon.”

Finally, Toki looked at Pickles. “Or whens we went fishing together.”

“Admittedly, I would never pass up the opportunity to use dynamite,” Pickles said, then nudged a dark satchel with his heel to push it further underneath his fold-out chair. “That said, it was no problem. I thoroughly enjoyed you reacting to the flying fish and spraying guts. Shame about the beavers, though.”

Skwisgaar temporarily ceased his playing to remark, “Yeah, but they ams tasty.”

Nathan agreed with a nod. “He’s right, they were pretty good.”

Murderface covered his face with his swollen hands. “I have nosching to wear thisch entire weekend.”

Another log split into two, and in its wake, caused another shift of colorful wind which thankfully captured everyone’s attention long enough for Toki to conclude his speech.

“Anyways,” he butted in with his usual, over-the-top antics, “I wanted to thanks you all for doings this and, maybes, since we ams all having funs here, we cans makes dis into a things?”

The suggestion roused all around the campfire. Toki picked up on it, but thanks to the limited lighting, didn’t see the troubled contagion spreading across everyone’s visage. “Like, we goes camping every years, but at different places, or insteads go to different theme parks or—”

“Yeah, sure, whatever,” Nathan hastily answered before the others could retort or come up with their own unique excuse as to why Toki’s idea couldn't possibly work. His response earned a delighted noise from Toki who, upon taking it as confirmation, stood and aimed his phone at the four other members. Although nobody wanted to, all smiled on command, though it took Murderface extra effort on his part to maintain a positive demeanor during Toki’s many flashes for the perfect picture.

“Well, it’s gettin’ late,” Pickles remarked some time after the phone was put away, and Skwisgaar had tired of playing. He pulled himself from his fold out chair and, with a yawn, stretched his arms out into the starry sky. “Think I’ll hit the hay fer’ tonight.”

“Ja, samsies,” Skwisgaar nodded in agreement, then followed alongside Pickles.

Murderface picked at his bubbling arm and concluded he would need to get started on moisturizing now if he wanted any chance of feeling slightly comfortable for the night. Toki waved goodbye as he slowly trudged into the darkness, leaving just Nathan to pick at the dwindling flames while thinking up ways to keep Toki entertained for the rest of the night.

To his surprise, he saw Toki take a stand to stretch. “Ams you going to bed soons?” he asked Nathan, then yawned. “We gots a long days ahead of us.”

Nathan was admittedly relieved to hear Toki was equally as exhausted as everyone else, but the promise of a long day ahead kept him from being too eager to flee the scene. So, with a somewhat restrained shrug, he replied, “Yeah, probably,” then left his seat and began slowly making his way in the same direction Skwisgaar, Pickles and Murderface went.

“Oh, you ams going to the DV?” He heard Toki comment behind him.

Nathan stopped and looked over his shoulder to see Toki standing near their flimsy tent.

“Yeah?” he answered back, taking note of Toki’s slight disappointment at the response.

Just then, a loud honk erupted out from the darkness, and after both he and Toki winced at its vicious sound, saw two blazing red lights turn on, followed by several others as the band’s DV motor came alive.

The DV was shortened term for Dethklok;s dethcreational vehicle, which stood just outside of the campsite, and crushing several endangered trees from its oppressive presence. The massive, thirty-two-wheeler tank-like camper, with its built-in air conditioner, heated seats, arcade system, fireplace and hottub was the one bargaining chip no one, not even Nathan, was willing to part with when they devised the plan. All had secretly hoped Toki would take to the idea of sleeping in a warm bed, in a space lighted with electricity and access to running water, but when they arrived at their campsite Toki was insistent on pitching and sleeping in a tent.

“At least for the first nights,” Toki had whined when he dragged the bag and instructions to Nathan. Given how confident Nathan was feeling at the time of their conversation, he had little issue promising Toki he’d obliged, and even went as far as pulling out one of the larger sleeping bags front he DV’s cubbies, but after a long day of appealing to Toki’s long list of demands, Nathan was starting to reconsider. The DV came equipped with mattresses and Nathan’s bed had those weighted blankets he found so comforting. Meanwhile, the tent was barely holding up, and it was cold outside, and earth surrounding the fragile tent was bumpy and littered with …nature.

“Y’know, I think I’m gonna have to set this one out,” Nathan informed Toki with a veering glance. He rubbed an elbow, keeping his eyes on the fire, the DV and whatever else he could to avoid Toki’s slant frown. “Maybe tomorrow night, alright?”

“Oh,” he heard Toki say in that despondent tone that always made him feel a little guilty. “Okays. Well, goodnights then.”

Nathan did his best not to let it affect him, and he followed along the barely visible path leading him to the broken and crushed trees and the dethcreational vehicle. Under the hum of its powerful lights, he could just barely make out Toki shuffling to the tent, and the crunch of boots as the klokateers holding it together readjusted their forms. Nathan made it to the car’s door, where he could hear everyone. Someone was playing video games, and judging by one of the steaming windows, someone else was in the midst of a hot shower.

Nathan made a quick glance at the shuffling tent in the distance. With the high beams on, he could still easily make out Toki’s shadow from within as he began to settle in his sleeping bag. Nathan contemplated. Was he really considering forgoing a night of good sleep just to satisfy one of his bandmates?

Nathan bit his tongue as he forced himself down the short flight of stairs, back into the dirt and clouds of gathering mosquitoes. He marched through the path, ignoring curious gears and even sending the more inquisitive ones a threatening stare as he returned to the dying campfire and flimsy tent. With a stare, he silently ordered one of the klokateers to open the zipper, and with an inward groan, he stepped into the dark tent.

He found Toki nestled in his sleeping back, his eyes just barely aglow under the limited lighting.

“Nathan?” Toki inquired, lifting his head from his tiny pillow to better squint and make sense of this sudden surprise.

Though he tried not to, Nathan turned defensive. “Don’t say anything, or I might change my mind,” he grumbled, then hurriedly kicked off his boots and then dropped himself upon the larger, empty sleeping bag situated by Toki, only to bump and accidentally push the younger man away. Even with the gears holding and stretching out the tent, it was a tight fit. “Make some room,” Nathan requested under grit teeth.

Despite the dim lighting, Nathan could easily sense the bubbly change taking place within his compatriot. “Okays,” he heard Toki say, then scooted a bit towards the left. Nathan peeled off his shirt, debated his pants, but then a cool breeze slipped through the tents thin walls and sent a creeping shill up his spine. He slipped into the sleeping bag, rummaged within its confines in a feeble attempt to create and gather heat, but it became clear such an effort would be pointless, and that tonight would be one filled with brutal suffering.

Nathan stared tiredly at the fine line of light trickling through the zipper’s opening. Though he couldn't hear it he was sure the others were having a hell of a time “relaxing” in the camper.

“Nathan?”

Nathan shut his eyes tight. “Toki, I said–”

A feathery yawn interrupted his thought. “Goodnights, pal,” Toki whined out, then snuggled deep into his sleeping bag. After a few seconds, Nathan could feel the younger man edge closer towards him, no doubt because of the cold, and after a minute of silence, he could feel Toki’s warmth slowly begin to melt into his senses.

Nathan reopened them and stared up at the tent’s wrinkled ceiling. For some time, he only did that, stare and listen to Toki’s breathing start to slow. Once it did, he waited a while longer, until the light from the dethcreational vehicle finally shut off, and then for the fire to die out, until all that was left were the occasional howls of winds and tree branches.

Once he had thoroughly convinced himself this was a good idea, and was sure everyone was asleep, Nathan sighed and replied to a sleeping Toki, “Thanks.” It was only moments later, and with hardly little effort, when he tacked on a gentle, “Night, kiddo. Sweet dreams, and all that.”

He shut his eyes one final time to join him.

What am I working on right now?

I realise I haven't really listed what I am doing and have been doing in terms of projects on Tumblr so far, so in case you're curious what I'm doing, here you go. With images and all this is gonna be quite lengthy, so have a look under the cut:

First of all, Job and Uni:

At the start of the month, the new uni semester begun, and I also got a job in programming! Uni courses are pretty chill this year, and I'm at the job two days a week. It's really nice so far, and it involves developing algorithms used for CAM and CNC-machines.

As a uni project I did..

A physics engine for Godot:

Godot is a game engine. As part of an uni course, two fellow students and I wrote the mathsy bulk of a physics engine for it. This includes stuff like collision handling and various joints (like hinge joints you'd use for a physics-based door etc.), but because of time constraints doesn't include collision detection, which is handled by Bullet. Outside of the planned curriculum, I also derived the equations for and implemented rope joints, which simulate, well, ropes.

And currently, outside of uni, I still want to work on the engine by implementing..

Portals:

Yea I want to implement portals using the custom physics engine we built. But not just portals as Valve did them, that would be too easy. I want them to be able to move and interact with other objects while remaining physically accurate (or, as physically accurate as they can be considering they're portals). The current state of things:

The dream is to be able to build gorgeous architecture, like, I'm thinking buildings resting on top of pillars that are always moving. If I can get this to work I really ought to discuss the vision with some artists and creative folk in general, because I feel like there's so much unexplored creativity in art with portals. But yeah, there's still a lot of very intimidating maths/physics until I get there.

As for other private/free-time projects..

SSBToni:

SSBToni is probably my most ambitious project yet. Toni is a Discord bot for the competitive Super Smash Bros. community (currently in 1.9k servers wowee). Her main selling point is the ability to show frame data and hitbox gifs, but she can also do some other stuff like guide you through a full match of Smash Bros. according to a range of competitive rulesets, from rock-paper-scissors through stage bans all the way to game reporting. She's written in Java with JDA, and her code is hosted here.

I want to do ranked matchmaking and Smash profile images later on, so I have to do some web backend work. The bulk of that is private still, but some of that spun off into separate projects which are..

instant-glicko-2:

The Glicko-2 rating system is great, but it has some issues if you want to use it for real-time ratings/rankings. This Rust library aims to solve these issues to allow for good real-time rankings that are still accurate to the Glicko-2 system. I wrote about how I achieve that here, and the code is hosted here. Note that I do want to change some stuff still which I don't mention in the article I wrote, and in the current form it is probably not production-ready.

cache-compute:

In all honesty, maybe my proudest public thing yet, and it's a single-file ~500 line Rust crate. Based on this blogpost by fasterthanlime, the library makes caching for async stuff much easier, which is gonna be extremely useful in web backend stuff. If a resource isn't available locally (cached), you might have to spend some time making a request to get it from elsewhere to cache it. This library makes sure you only make that request once when you need it, and sorts everything out so that everyone waiting on the resource gets a copy the moment it arrives.

Part of why I'm so proud of this is that, for one, I consider the core finished and very much usable, and secondly, because I wrote so many and such long and exhaustive tests for it, just to hopefully be able to catch any weirdness that comes up. Because writing this kind of concurrent code is hard.

And that's it for projects I would want to show off and write about.

There are of course always ideas in my idea list (currently four or five good ones I'm not working on), maybe I'll post about those too sometime. If you're curious or starved for ideas feel free to ask about them too, I don't think I'll be able to do all of them and the list is only growing larger.

[deadeery]

If I decided to eat your art style one day, I'd already know the exact flavor and texture before it touches my mouth. It'll be hard at first and become very chewy over time the more you chew it, similar to gum. It would probably feel like pop rocks in your mouth with the same "exploding" feeling. The taste will vary between characters. If there are more than two characters, It'll instantly taste like fruit punch or tropical depending on who is in the drawing. Although It might taste like one of those character popsicles, probably the Spongebob one. (they're absolutely delectable if you haven't tried one) How do I know this? I don't know myself, but I am certain that many other people have said that they would eat your art style before and it's for a reason. It just catches your eye and the colors are super vivid, acting extra flavor as well. I honestly wouldn't blame someone if they tried to eat your art style.

Oh wowee anon im flattered u took the time to write down a very descriptive compliment ☺️💕 oddly enough i do get that a lot and im happy my art catches ur eye enough to send me this hehe I love messing with colors so im glad it tastes sweet to u :]

ok IK dec just started but im impatient LOL. 2022 summary!!! n 2021 for comparison

wowee... 2 whole years. except, not, it's been a year and 11 months and 1 week-ish since i started drawing. but who cares!!!

the beginning of this year was - how to put this delicately - Awful, lol. i started 2022 w/ the rona, which really set the tone of this whole year. it's been a bumpy, wild ride - i suppose 'highlights,' is that i got my knee surgery + got a lawyer for my disability case...? there was also that 'grand theft me' situation (THAT MADE, INCLUDING PIECES FOR SEPT OCT. A TENSE QUESTION BUT W/E!!) etc etc

my resolution for this year wasn't to draw every day, but i think i still drew quite a lot...? i shifted to ms paint-only at the tailend of 2021 and have kept it still. i've gotten into a routine of sketching n lining one day, and coloring the next... as coloring is my favorite part, lol.

while i wouldn't say 2022 was a 'bad' year overall - troublesome, for sure - re: art i am more inclined to say it was. 'bad,' in the emotional aspect. despite a lot of my ANGST over my art i continued. prevailed...!! whatever. it's hard for me to 'feel' like i've improved, but on a literal aspect... wow, look at that... whistles etc.

this year i honed in a lot more on anatomy, interaction, composition, etc. gotta draw OTP together after all, lol. for 2023, i'm aiming to get better at backgrounds and clothing...

2022 was really hard and it really sucked and i really DESPAIRED. i'm not quite.... proud of myself, in the skill aspect, but i'm proud i kept drawing no matter how awful it felt.

here's to another two years!

[thenamessparkplug]

Three for tomorrow

1) day as a whole: five of swords reversed

Resolution, forgiveness (apparently..?)

2) opportunities: wheel of fortune reversed

Misfortune, chaos, resistance

3) challenges: the lovers reversed

Separation, imbalance, conflict

Thoughts:

Wow must have turned my deck upside down ha.

Now, in my deck five swords has some of my favorite art, so even though upright he's all like "ooh betrayal sounds fun and sexy" I actually really kinda like him. He's plotting and up to something sure but like so am I most of the time so it's chill. Reversed? Not so chill. Kinda directionless in a way maybe? Or maybe resolution in the sense of "great we done did the betrayal" which... I'm not sure about. Love five swords though.

In any case, two reversed major cards for the other two, wowee. Reversed lovers doesn't take much interpretation I don't think--that'll be the challenges of tomorrow. Easy enough.

Reversed wheel as opportunities is interesting--is the opportunity the chaos itself or is it an opportunity to bring about chaos? The wheel is pretty amoral anyway, so its not a concerning chaos either way--just a factual chaos. Ain't nothin to be done.

An added thought a bit later: hey it's all reversed? That's significant? Gonna be maybe a weird backwards day but wheel says to make the most of it! Stab some backs!

Also also, buddy, yeah valentines is not something you think about but...lovers reversed??? For the couples holiday? Honestly I'm more offended my singleness is framed as a challenge!

i was looking at some of my old posts from when i had only just joined the fandom like four months ago (which in hindsight isn't that much time) and i realized that my tastes have changed drastically so we're answering these questions again baybee!!! hi cheeto if you see this 1. wild is still the fave mostly due to his games (i have both of em now) and lost's existence, but wars has skyrocketed into second favorite very quickly. so due to biases i'd say wild since i know his lore inside and out, but do know i'm currently hyperfixated on wars 2. sunset pt. 14's final panel. midna's lighting especially fucks me up /pos 2.5 I CAN ANSWER THE ARC QUESTION PROPERLY NOW! when i read lu i barely digested any of the actual plot, but thanks to the wonderful existence of analysis posts, i can actually respond! currently, it's the bg arc of wild and wars thats happening. no idea if its going to become a Thing like how time and wind's did but i'm hoping it does! its two of my sillies and theyre experiencing Very conflicting emotions about eachother. i dmed this to kay when the new update came out but "[wars] becomes authority in the face of uncertainty vs [wild] follows authority in the face of adversity" 3. july's starry notes because its the one that lives rent free in my brain, and as for general tastes: the chain being harmless little shits to eachother. a lot of my lu likes are mask but thats because he is THE little shit. like guys theyre siblings theyre gonna mess with eachother lightheartedly!!! plus its funny!!! 4. fics? not a fuckin clue honestly. i counted recently and ive read over 600 lu fics in total and hoo boy. wowee. a fic i shall not name used to be one of my favorites but in hindsight one of the link's characterizations was Awful and i had to weigh my losses of "really good characterization vs even worse characterization" HOWEVER. I DO HAVE FAVORITE AUTHORS NOW!!! Can_Opener aka @/crazylittlejester, alternatemind (no tumblr :() & qar!! @/noorahqar (admittedly ive been reading qars fics for years but shhh) (also as for tumblr only: @/tenderleavesbob has amazing bite sized fics!!! my personal faves are ones with mask and wars because i am a simple man) adore their fics, definitely go recommend you read them (ESP if you're a wars or twi fan!! alternatemind's dog days au makes me unnecessarily happy, and i adore both jes & qar's wars fics so much. peak wars food honestly AND MASK???? amazing) also shameless promo for @/eponatheestallion's lost link fic bc THATS OUR BOY!!! (an update will happen at some point we prommy kay is just in the trenches) 5 & 6. answers still apply :)) art still rarely arts its misery

Hey, you! New person! Welcome to the LU fandom, we’re so glad to have you! 💞💞 Saw you were looking for mutuals—I just have a few questions… *flips through pieces of paper real serious like*

👀 You got a favorite LU boy yet? Or a favorite panel/arc of Jojo’s comic? Favorite fic, art piece, author?

👀 I saw your Wild sketch, it was very nice. So you draw? Do you write, too?

👀 Finally and most importantly, what is your opinion on mayonnaise?

HELLO HELLO!!!!!! i am so very happy to be here i am giggliing kicking my feet 1. i find all of them to be absolute whimsical goobers but probably wild (botw is the only physical loz game i own and it was a gift from my brother so i do have a wee bit bias. but they're also just like the Guy ever) 2. this wolfie from the most recent update has my heart and soul. so very polite heems so!!

3. art piece of jojo's has got to be either september's stormy draw, but outside of that. honestly just any sleepy lu. little snoozin guys yk?? 4. goddesses fics,,,,, keeping it to lu a home for flowers (faufaren) & silent princesses (korokcrucifierr) absolutely eat personally. as for authors, i don't pay much attention since i read based on me tag-hunting (i do say that nintendo fics absolutely eat and rarely miss. i have yet to be proven wrong) 5. tysm!! i DO draw!! and write on the very very rare occasion (as in once a year and if i finish something its a miracle). i'm currently at a roadblock w/ art and i havent seriously drawn in nearly a month but i do silly little doodles like the wild in both my pfp and the one mentioned!!

6. not a mayo guy personally but i love ranch

Um hi I just want to let you know that reading ldomlt has FULLY wrecked me. Easily one of my top top top favourite yoongi fics now, holy moly. Every chapter thus far has been a gem of its own. I am ruined by this portrayal of yoongi’s character like. Wowee as u might be able to tell..I feel so ko-ed. their chemistry is to die for and I’m living for the last chapter especially. A standout moment for me was the simple “stay”. Wow. Wrecked. Ok anyway before I ramble anymore. Thank you so much for sharing for your art with us. Pls know Im cheering u on your writing journey so much<3 cannot wait to read more from u!!!!
