(i'm so sorry, i'm not sure if you accept reviews or not so feel free to ignore this)

Helloo!! I'm brazilian and i'm still learning english so forgive me for any grammar mistakes. I've gotten all endings (i guess- please let me know if i missed anything!) so here's my review of Perfect Love! ♥

I loved this game sooo much! I never played an visual novel with a mean main character and it was just amazing. The trope of ''us'' being the actual villains is very interesting and it made the game super unique! It's also pretty obvious the amount of effort and hard work that's in the game, I was impressed by the quality of it all.

The music and sound effects are pretty good, I loved it all! The artstyle is very pleasing to look at and the black/white/grey contrast with Milo's blue/red eyes are such a nice touch too. I also loved the amount of easter eggs (you couldn't imagine the face I made when I named myself 'Ren') and secret endings/scenes.

Fortunately, when I first played, I knew nothing about the game nor about Milo (which I believe made the experience better since everything turned out to be surprising) and the endings were really good. Through the gameplay, I've encontered one grammar mistake (which I forgot to screenshot it, sorry) and one sprite glitch but nothing that made me annoyed.

After finishing the 8 main endings, I decided it was time to look a little bit on the official Tumblr's page of the VN and that's when I decided to test out all of the easter eggs and that's when I discovered the secret scenes.

So, to summary it all: absolutely 10/10! I can't remember the last time I had so much fun playing a game and being so invested in unlocking all of it's content! I was flabbergasted when I lost all of my endings heh

Please let me know if I missed anything- I'd be more than happy to clear the game entirely.

Hello there! I love reviews. On my other blog I always write recommendations/reviews for other vns, so I'm always open to seeing what people like and dislike about the game. I hope you don't mind that I'm just gonna mash these two asks into one ask.

Thank you! I also think that a lot of vns don't always focus on being the bad guy in the story and those that do I usually enjoy quite a lot! I'm glad you like the quality of it, it was a lot of fighting renpy and it's UI because I have a one sided rivalry with the base renpy UI. I tried to make it look good though I think I maybe should have attempted to redraw some of the sprites for Milo (for like the third time).

For the art style itself, I actually did it in black and white because it was originally for the 2023 yanjam and I wanted to make a style that wouldn't be extremely tiring for me, and I really like lineart so I made everything in black and white (and also because I'm lazy, I say as I animate half of my assets). The red and blue really make it pop at the end since it's one of the few time color is used in the game. I love when people put easter eggs in their game and I know of a lot of yandere vns so I wanted to put in a ton! I'll probably put in even more in the update when I get all of the extra stories done because putting easter eggs like that is very fun.

Having no knowledge of a game is always a good way to be surprised about the premise and I think it definitely was something good in your case too! For the grammer/ sprite errors if you do ever play or remember what they were, please let me know. I'll try to fix it in the next update if possible.

It's always so nice seeing that people like my game though! I tried my hardest to make it a worthwhile experience and considering it's (technically) my first game, it really makes me happy to see that people really like it! Hopefully it doesn't have too much of the first game amatureness that tends to come (nothing wrong with it, but I hopefully have showcased I kind of know what I'm doing, I say, sweating profusely) .

Yup! That is all of the scenes in the game so far. At least that you can access. If you look inside of the code, I actually have two scenes that I put in there. One of them is pretty much a test scene featuring the character from the next game I'm making, and the other is a special scene where you go to Milo's apartment. You can't access those in the main game, but you can play them if you edit the code a bit.

Basically (for those who don't know), all you have to do is put "jump" and then the name of the label afterwards (so for instance if the label is "rabbit" you would put "jump rabbit") after label start in the code. The two scenes that are not accessable in the game are the last two scenes in the script.rpy file just to make it easier for you. (I put a note that says like "#I'm very dedicated to my craft I say as I disect Milo and then beat him with a stick" because I'm sorry Milo, you deserve better)

But yes, thank you for taking your time and writing your long review! I love it so much.

Out of curiosity may I ask for your thoughts on hazbin hotel? I’m not the biggest fan of it. I do like nifty and sir pentious though.

Also I enjoy your murder drones art. I love the way you draw uzi :)

Ehhh, the relationship with me and how i feel about about HH is a long one, considering ive been following viv since her deviantart days lol. well i wasn't ever that much of a fan, mostly cuz ive never been too into that stretchy cartoonish artstyle she used to use for her comic "Zoophobia" buuuuut i had to hand it to her- she def managed to accomplish something a lot of us wish we could do with our world buildings huh? so ill give her that much lmao. but I'm gonna say that i haven't watched the show YET.

tho as far as controversies surrounding her uh... religion imagery goes- even as someone whos been brought up as a religious muslim- i don't really care tbh. you need to have a certain level of capacity for satire like this and if you don't, its really not for you //shrug. mostly to say you need to really know your own rights and wrongs to not be affected by a cartoon made by people who have their own beliefs yknow?

but as far as the story has gone so far in Helluva boss im not really.... ANYWAY- its fiction, and i don't have to like EVERY aspect of it, i don't think the writing is GREAT i don't think its AWFUL- currently I'm in a very big MEH area towards it lmao-

but i can say for certain that i absolutely LOVE the songs and adore them- especially thankful of having found one of my favorite artists eVER through HH- "SILVA HOUND"- there is almost no work that he has put up that i don't go crazy over- when the beat drops i feel my soul ascend yall don't understand 😭 <33333333

and well finally the art i guess? i like it, not bad, kinda tired seeing so many people trying to imitate it to a tee- i agree that imitation is the highest form of flattery lmao but it gets old when everyone's trying to be similar yknow? but character-design-wise, again, i feel like the character designs are amazing? but.... misplaced i guess.... we all know that these characters are vivzies old ocs, but lore wise- none of the characters look like what they are supposed to be... like we all know the issue with Beelzebub, sigh, that was weird for my eyes to behold as someone who remembers queen bee from zoophobia- and im not even sure if Vaggie is a moth anymore considering her uh... new backstory??? was she even a human at some point anymore? is Adam a human? are half of the heaven population wearing masks? why do they look like characters from monsters inc. that got a yassified by James Charles?? im... so confused lmao. why do angels have horns and hell sinners have wings?? looking at husker- skipping the Alastor controversies- yada yada yada- is Charlie supposed to be a goat when neither of her parents are- yeah okay im tired never mind.

short version: its interesting on the eyes, confusing to the brain XD

overall my final comment is: its fun as long as you don't take it religiously serious ;p

and thank you so muchhh :D

https://www.tumblr.com/bon-is-gone/748757237890170880/fluttershy-so-yeah-i-made-mlp-infection-au?source=share

*perks up* found this trend a while ago and I loved seeing mlp infection aus...idk why but I think mlp horrors are the best horrors! Like human horrors make me feel uncomfortable but replace the humans with colorful ponies and I wanna see it! (My random guess is, not knowing if I'm right or not, because I'm scared of it being transmitted to humans?) Anyway, now I'm curious about it!

What are the stages? How did it begin? You planning to make a bunch of art for it? Write a story via comic or written or as I've seen some do...videos? Or just draw a bunch of ponies infected? Sorry if I'm pushy or nosey...just fluttershy went from 0-100 so fast in your pics of her and looked so good...she looked so cute before infection and terrifying after! You have a great artstyle! I just had to learn if this was a one hit-thing or if it will bloom into a story or something!

AGDHAGDHSGDHAGSHGA I STILL CANT GET USED TO THE FACT THAT PEOPLE LIKE MY STUFF AND IVE BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR NOW HDGAJGXISHDJ THANKYOUTHANKYOYTAHNKYOUTHANKYOU-

Ah yes, my favorite subject

Dying ponies with rabies 😌

Imma try and answer all the questions amigo, however I'm writing this in 2 in the morning with a sh*t ton of adrenaline from the fact that you asked (I'm gonna have a heart attack oh lord) so do forgive me if I missed one-

Oh ehem-

Stages

So the sickness which I took for this au is Rabies! Which I think a lot if you might know what it is. Ofcourse, this is a more messed up type of rabbies. There's only 3 stages since the person transforms quickly(in a 1 day). 1st stage: after the pony gets bit by a subject with rabbies they start feeling weak, tired and nauseous. They also all of a sudden get scared of water 2nd stage: the ponies body starts to hurt, usually specific body parts feel the most pain (for example with fluttershy its her front hooves), which then start to get longer, stretching. 3rd stage the ponies body becomes disfigured, they become extremely aggressive and blood-thirsty, foam will start pouring out of their mouth and completely forget who they were before.

How did it begin?

Some chemist pony probably tried to find a cure for different types of sickness in the mlp world but instead made a potion for the missed up rabbies. He tested on some animals and one of them escaped. The animal got to fluttershy(because she's always with animals so she shall be the first victim) and bit her. The infection would continue on with twilight who wanted to go check up on her but instead got attacked.

You planning to make a bunch of art for it?

Oh buddy. OH BUDDY- I already nade some sketches of how twilight and Pinkie pie are before and after getting infected. I do want to draw some background ponies with those meters (you know those ones with like "hunger: 50%" or something) specifically this guy

SILVER ZOOM 😎 I found him whilst browsing the mlp wiki for background ponies and omg I LOVE HIS DESIGN AJGDHSHDHWHDHDH

Also this fella

Crystal earth gives me "I FELL INLOVE WITH AN EMO GIRL" vibes and I'm DIGGING IT

Write or make a story/comic/video? Or just draw a bunch of ponies infected?

I'm not a writer so hard pass on the story. Comic would LOVE to do that, however I'm not used to drawing ponies like, at all, So it takes me a really long time to get the look right(especially with all the different angles of the head, yikes). Now, the video? Hell f*cking yeah. I planned on making a video 100% doing it like people do on tiktok (or in my case youtube because I am not going to that wretched place, no offense to anyone who goes there) but never made it since I got sidetracked with other stuff lmao. So currently I will stick to just solely making art, but I will make a video about it no doubt. Complete story? Probably not.

Again thank you so much for asking! It makes me super happy when people ask me about my stuff or just opinions on anything. (I did not get held enough as a child God damn-) and no worries about being pushy! (You weren't honestly)

This was Bon, signing out

#mlp infection au #mlp #its about rabies :d #poor fluttershy lmao

I know it’s past 9pm and all (you know the image) but it’s so hard to not listen to these feelings when they are just chilling there!!! Like what the fuck am I supposed to do? My brain keeps forcing the same dish in my face, saying “you can’t play mario until you eat your broccoli” but instead of broccoli it’s the fear that everyone knows about the weird stuff I do or is wary or some shit like that and I have no idea what I’m doing in almost any conversation or social situation like I know it’s the autism but I still haven’t figured out how to reconcile the sheer discomfort I feel with the thought that I’m just choosing not to try to figure it out because I fucking freeze up and shit and I get too scared of making mistakes because I have no idea how lenient other people are on things and I have no idea how bad (to them) whatever stupid stuff I’ve done is, it’s like fuckin evangelion, you never truly know what’s going on inside someone else’s head, there is always some separation, fuck I need to watch evangelion again and fuck I need therapy. Fuck, I need therapy. I need to take the time to go get therapy because these thoughts are so fucking sharp and painful and I have no idea how brains are supposed to work, - is it normal that I struggle to remember a lot about my childhood? It could just be that I’m rarely in situations that click the right hyperlink in my brain to land on the right wikipedia page - fuck I need to get therapy because they’d know what brains normally do and how people normally act and yeah I know that nobody’s truly “normal” but I wanna know how I can fit in a little bit. Yeah I’m still gonna be myself but I want the overall artstyle to be cohesive, even if my character looks out of place. I don’t want to look like I was just shittily green-screened in from a different movie I want to be a little more normal I’m so tired I’m so tired of this ok I’m being a little overdramatic about this but I am so tired of it and I am tired of being overdramatic but it takes so much energy to dial it back especially because it’s late and I’m not rerouting this post, this is direct stream of consciousness fuck now it’s getting meta (I fucking hate that word sometimes) and self-conscious fuck why do I have to get so self-conscious I’m even getting fucking self-conscious about getting self-conscious right now I don’t even remember the events that made me this way I don’t know exactly why I’m so self-conscious I just have this vague concept, this abstract fucking anxiety cloud of “people will think you’re weird in a bad way” and “I don’t want to fuck anything up” and “you have no idea how to interact with people” I’m just remembering that time in early high school when my leading philosophy was “don’t be a burden” and my mom was like “oh that’s so sweet” and I was thinking “yeah this makes sense I’m just some fuckin guy I’m not that important” and while yeah that’s true I’m not like super important, that is such a degrading mindset to have, even if I didn’t realize it at the time. Change and conflict is scary and I’m still fucking terrified of it. I was about to say “I should change that [end of post]” like “haha yeah such a deep and cool ending” but like I realize that being afraid of things isn’t necessarily going to change but how I handle that fear can change but I don’t know how to do that and fuck I’m getting self-conscious again and ok I’m getting off topic I think a lot of my current intense yet nebulous insecurities come from 1) that period of “I don’t want to be a burden on anyone” and the conflict avoidance, emotion bottling, complacency, etc. that came with it; and 2) the constant felt need to hide what I was doing because I feared the consequences or didn’t want my parents to get upset at or about me, I would always be like “yeah mom I did my homework” when 10 seconds ago I was thinking to myself “yeah I can get that done soon” and I would have but then mom popped in and if I said “I haven’t done it yet” she’d get stressed out - even if I’d had it under control - and then that would fuck me up because -

meds update plus rant: day 20

almost 3 weeks guys ! I'm doing it !! I need to schedule an appointment cuz I only have 10 pills left oof

hmm...folks, not gonna lie... these few days have been tough.. I started becoming more and more frustrated cuz I felt like they weren't working ( days 16-18 ) and my mom also asked me a few days ago "so... Dani... have you been feeling better ?" in which I replied "nope" and she asked "do you feel any different at all ?" and also again "nope"

btw it's not PMS lmao I swear

and then I got even more upset that, maybe I might just be undiagnosed with adhd ? cuz I'm still struggling with doing tasks, procrastinating, forgetting stuff, getting overwhelmed easily, getting angry easily. I had to change my bed sheets and I really started crying. I am so tired.. and it's hard to change the sheets cuz of my mattress and the shape of my bed and also I have to fold and put the comforter a certain way and its not exactly a simple and fast task and it can mess up the sheets and make everything look and feel wonky and... like fr I am not exaggerating... and then also I just. started going on a spiral yet again :(

I feel so insecure and I just wanna cry all the time. because I'm so tired. I keep forgetting or procrastinating to fix my sleep schedule. it's 2am rn...

I feel horrible with my appearance, I hate my face and my body, I hate everything about how I look. and I feel very ugly all the time, I'm too self conscious and too self aware of my surroundings and I can't never relax... don't slouch, don't show your teeth when speaking or smiling, don't move your head too much, don't touch your hair, don't stand this way it makes you look weird. I'm exhausted, why can't I just accept how I look...

I feel dumb, and untalented. I feel lazy, and stupid, because I keep seeing people around me succeed and I can never do that. yes I am fucking envious of people. no I do not wish them bad things but all I can think about is.. that could've been me if I had tried harder. if I had tried enough. if I forced myself to do it.

and it's taking such a toll on me rn I feel stupid and dumb and lime a failure.

I'm frustrated cuz I can't improve my artstyle either, nor my poses or composition. my art is so repetitive and unoriginal, and uncreative. predictable. forgettable.

boring.

n also, no one fucking interacts with me on twitter and I don't blame them cuz I never post art, not interact with them, and all I ever do is cry and vent like a fucking loser. who wants to read this shit anyways. but what makes it worse is that I'm currently at my peak, I have never had this much followers ever. and I know it doesn't mean worth but I can't seem to change this mindset

which makes me feel like such an imposter... how can I have this many followers when I don't post shit. when my art is shit. when I am a shit person. why are they following me, I don't deserve anything. and now it's even more pressure I want them to be happy I want them to not see how much of a loser I really am.

and I just. I don't know. I could do such great things. I know I have the talent. I know I am smart. but why can't I just be better, use my time more wisely, and improve myself. I am such a waste. that's how I feel most of the time, I'm wasting myself, wasting my time, my parents money. I'm so tired of being stupid and not doing what I have to do just cuz I don't want to do it.

it's a bad bad bad day and week. I guess this is the confirmation that the meds aren't working, or haven't started working yet. I just want to die

i had ANOTHER dream abt miraculous ladybug and this ones a LONG one. it didnt have your artstyle but time paris DID have lovely architecture such as: the bigass hollow tree stumps in breath of the wild, u know the ones big enough to fit a shrine and a half. anyway, the final battle is Happening, people get to wonder if hawkmoth is gonna bite the dust in real time bc its being televised. this is all taking place smth like 3 yrs in the future from season 4 of the show. so theyre like uhhhh Older Teens and certifiably Tired Of All This Shit. so! at the bottom of one of those tree stumps, cat noir’s identity is going to be revealed! oh no!! hes in a #crisis of the soul mostly bc getting revealed would be Bad but also he doesnt feel like hes helping ladybug anymore. he doesnt feel trusted. a classic tale of the villain manipulating a traumatized teen. and ladybug (looking out over a roof and yelling at the top of her lungs) is like “ABSOLUTELY NOT YOU LEAVE MY PARTNER ALONE.” and bribes hawkmoth away by dangling her own secret identity in front of him like a worm on a hook. it works a little too well. her identity gets revealed! cat noir is safe but in the shuffle hes lost his miraculous and marinette picks it up. shes got both and puts them on. tikki and plagg are like “MARINETTE ITS SO DANGEROUS TO WEAR BOTH AT THE SAME TIME” and shes like “im going to punch hawkmoth in the face” and off she goes.

cat noir is nowhere to be found bc now hes adrian! and she doesnt know that! but he knows shes marinette! drama! so now ladybug is re transformed (without activating the black cat miraculous) and is whaling on hawkmoth. she crashes thru my house which is definitely not in paris and tells me and my sibs we have to get out NOW so we book it and its at this point the dream reveals to me that mylene’s mom is chinese and i sit there like Now Hold On A Minute and my mom says “i told u so!” and i tell her “you dont even watch the show???” mylene was wearing a green cheongsam. i don’t tend to ask questions. also by this point i made a mental note to tell u abt this bc it only gets more batshit.

ladybug told us (and everyone that was running away which was a lot of ppl) that if they find cat noir they shld tell him that ladybug loves him. then she has this Stellar idea. she finds nadja chamack and her camera (bc theres only two newspeople in all of paris and one of them runs reality tv) and is like “hi i need to get a message out to cat noir.” when the camera is situated on her (mind u ms chamack is VERY aware that this is her daughters babysitter and is currently holding hawkmoth in a chokehold) she says “im sorry cat noir. you believed in me and trusted me since day one and i couldnt extend you the same courtesy. i was wrong. there is no one else who can wield the black cat miraculous, no one else i would trust with the power of destruction. meet me at our normal rendezvous point so i can give back what is yours.” its all very heartfelt but undercut by the fact that hawkmoth’s bitch ass is shouting explicatives next to her. the fight resumes. she gets slammed into a wall á la every anime fight ever and manages to hide before getting to the roof where she’s waiting for cat noir. shes in a right amount of pain and tikki is running her mouth abt danger and injuries etc. marinette Will Not Move until cat noir shows up. and he does! adrian arrives! when marinette sees him she starts laughing and crying. adrian is rightfully confused. is this a good thing? is this a bad thing? did she hit her head? (yes to all 3.) marinette says “i have been in love with you since 10th grade.” (were they in 10th grade? i do not know.) adrian says “and ive been busy being in love with ladybug.” and then she apologizes again, gives him the ring back, they hug, kick ass and meet up in her room.

if it feels like we’re going rlly fast now its bc we are. the dream was pretty much a montage at this point. hawkmoth is arrested, the world knows who ladybug is, adrian is an orphan, nathalie is still sick, and marinettes parents r thinking that their kid has nearly died MULTIPLE TIMES and they never knew. also luka is under that bridge going “oh fuck.” marinette is in her room trying to explain what will happen next to alya and nino. alya says “i had to tell nino”and marinette says “i am beyond the point of anger. but whatever.” cat noir falls thru her sunroof and they hug (again, there was so much hugging in this dream to make up for the complete lack of hugging in the actual show) and alya + nino are like “uhhh awkward.” the last convo i don’t have quotes for bc at this point my alarm was ringing but it was something abt how marinette cant be ladybug or hold the miracle box and she wld want alya to be the holder but NINO knows and nino Cant Know. but cat noir doesnt want marinette to lose her memories! but People Know. the conclusion was they have to talk to chloe abt how to navigate paparazzi. this is my chloe-and-marinette-could-be-friends agenda. ok i think thats EVERYTHING. if u read all that godspeed, drink water. OH. FINAL THOUGHT. ADRIAN HAD LONG BEAUTIFUL HAIR WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF THIS. he had model-brand stubble and sharper teeth than he should.

sometimes I’m peeved that tumblr increased the character limit for asks to be higher than 500 characters, and other times I get

1k word asks about miraculous ladybug dreams, and I think that’s beautiful

I do unironically love the part about Chloe helping Marinette navigate paparazzi, rip to her canon character development

#also I love ‘meet me on the roof at our usual spot’#but he DOESNT HAVE HIS MIRACULOUS #NCBDBSHDHGJG #HOW DID HE GET UP THERE #miraculous ladybug

Speechless

Summary: The Host overused his voice and needs to rest it. Which means absolutely no talking from the man that never shuts up. No narrations. No way of "seeing" anything. Understandably, the Host isn't happy about this situation, which is evident by him locking himself in his room and waiting impatiently for his ailment to pass. Leave it up to Eric to try to cheer up his sulking boyfriend!

Ship: Eric Derekson/The Host

Words: 1287

Tags: @theshysepticeye

Read on AO3!

The Host was a man of many words, but there are times where he was left speechless. His narrations eventually left him tired and breathless. Overexertion has always been his main fault. As much as he tended to overwork himself, there are times where he fell silent for his sanity’s sake. Or for the sake of those that care about him, they were quite vocal about their worries. Like Eric, for example, who nearly had a panic attack after hearing that he lost his voice.

Ever since a particularly heated argument with Google, the Host found solace resting in his room instead of his library. His bed has never felt more comfortable. It was quiet, too quiet. The silence became deafening quickly, and his comfortable seclusion soon became a prison. Another groan made it past his lips as he tried to relax further within the bed’s covers. His fingers itched with the need to work, and his mind buzzed with ideas begging to be said. If he couldn’t speak or work, who was he? Just a completely blind man that hoped his ailment would pass soon.

The door creaked open slowly, and the Host heard someone shuffle inside.

“Hey Host… I, um, I got you some tea.” Eric’s familiar voice made him smile as soon as he heard it. “It has s-some honey and-and lemon… Edward said it should help.”

Soft, gentle hands guided his calloused ones towards a warm mug of tea.

“It should be fine to drink, I-I think at least.”

“The H-” His croaky tone was interrupted by a fit of coughs. The Host sat upright, careful not to spill his drink, as he continued to cough in his sleeve. He felt Eric pat his back lightly to guide him through his fit. Once that hell finally finished, he layed back against the pillows with another groan.

“Please don’t-don't speak,” Eric instructed, his voice laced with concern. “It’s alright, I understand.”

The Host only replied by nodding his head this time. He brought the mug to his lips and reveled in the tea’s soothing taste. It didn’t completely soothe his throat, but it helped relieve the irritating itchiness exponentially.

“That was… a pretty big fight.” The bed creaked quietly beneath Eric’s weight as he crawled beside his boyfriend. Not too close, much to the Host’s disappointment, but a comfortable relationship could only do so much for his nerves. “Google’s still getting fixed…”

It was something unimportant, truly. Their dispute never devolved into violence, however, a lot was said during what was supposed to be a civil conversation. Perhaps they were both pent up and needed an excuse to let out their anger. Either that or they really cared about which form of medium was better: ebooks or physical books. Nonetheless, their argument ended with a voiceless Host and a Google that fried his systems. At least the Host wasn’t alone in his torment. There was some smug, petty part of him that loved that he took someone down with him.

There was some shuffling of papers coming from Eric. Apparently he brought a book or something but the Host couldn’t tell. The Host blindly patted the empty space next to him, searching for Eric’s hand or, well, anything really. Eventually Eric got the hint and scooted closer, leaning his head against the other’s shoulder.

“It’s, um, weird not hearing you,” Eric giggled. “I-I’m so used to… to your voice all the time.”

The Host would have laughed along, if not for his throat feeling like it’s infested by angry fire ants. Eric exhaled loudly through his nose, surely feeling sympathy whilst looking at the Host’s poor state. He kept flipping through what sounded like a book, this time accompanied by the scratch of pencil on paper.

A single tap on, what the Host assumed was, Eric’s arm got his boyfriend’s attention in no time. He turned his head towards the book’s sounds, tilting his head in a questioning manner. Having his world completely dark made with realize how much he needed to know things. What kind of bug buzzed into his room? Who walked passed his doors? What were they talking about as they walked through the halls? His boyfriend making unknown sounds was no different.

“I’ve been drawing again,” Eric answered the silence. In his lap was a sketchbook he has been doodling in for a while. A hobby he was afraid to express under certain circumstances, but otherwise felt safe practicing in his current living conditions. “King, he showed me one of, um, his squirrels! She was so cute! So I asked if, if I could draw her.”

The Host hummed with that scratchy tone of his. But that didn’t matter. He had a visual of the scene now. A warm mug of tea, his boyfriend cuddling close, some sort of sketchbook, and a picture of a squirrel. The peace that came with those certainties was brief, however. There was still some blank images. What did the picture look like? Was there a background or just the squirrel? Did the squirrel look a certain way? There are dozens of different squirrels, and King was known to have many.

Honestly, the Host was getting tired of his curiosity. The consequences of being a damned know-it-all…

“Can I, um, describe it to you?” The Host nodded quickly. Thank god Eric could need him like an open book.

Through sips of tea, the Host tried to hide his relief. Though he must be doing a bad job given Eric’s stifled giggles.

“It-It’s nothing special… King said she’s a red squirrel,” Eric said while staring at his drawing. Unsteady words left his mouth. An incompetent version of the Host’s poetic narrations. “Really fluffy, especially the, um, the tail. Her fur was like a… a dirty red? Wit-With a white belly! She loves tummy rubs, a-apparently, but I didn’t wanna hurt her…” A fond smile made its way on his lips as he reminisced about the encounter. “I think it looks okay. I-I hope King doesn’t hate it… I was gonna show it to him tomorrow.”

Damn his ailment for making him not able to spew countless reassurances to his boyfriend. All the Host could do was press a kiss on top of Eric’s head and settle in their embrace further. It was silent again, but this time he didn’t mind the ambiance. He finished his tea and tried to clear his throat. Still scratchy. Still very much in pain. Not the worst, though. He tried to look at the bright side in his dark world.

The picture was complete now. That persistent tick in his mind was finally satisfied with the full setting. While a bit hazy, he imagined a cute drawing of the squirrel Eric drew alongside the rest of the room’s details. He has seen a couple of Eric’s drawings before. They were simple, soft, and realistic. Eric had a calming artstyle that radiated his personality perfectly, but he often ridiculed his skill. The Host, and many others, insisted on spewing praises at his talent.

“I hope you get better soon,” Eric said. He put his sketchbook down and wrapped his arms around the Host. “You shouldn’t have - have argued like that, though! That was so… so dumb!”

A smug, unremorseful smile was all the Host responded with. Was he going to apologize to Google later? Probably. Was he going to somehow make sure Google apologized to him, too? Definitely. For now, all that mattered was the setting before him. The silence wasn’t deafening anymore, so long that he has someone else to endure it with. So he waited patiently. The minutes and hours he counted became much more comfortable in their peaceful seclusion.

stop being jealous and bitter!

Now i know you cant outright just throw away your jealousy in the art community. You see a really cool popular artist or just someone with absolutely amzing art and you think “wow holy shit their art is so good i wish that was me and that i could do that....” I understand that spite can be a good thing sometimes; it can be what motivates you to improve and do well, especially if the artist is well... not the best person in terms of personality. Great, that’s even more motivation to do well right!?

But when does all the comparing go too far?

----------------------------------------long post incoming------------------------------------------

Now i’ve had people very close to me do this. I’ve been told that im ‘popular’ which im honestly not seriously. They could probably be reading this right now, but this has been bothering me for awhile so i must get this out there. Let’s step into a certain mindset for a moment:-

You hate your artwork. You hate your current skills. Sure there are artists you like. But then there are ‘THOSE’ ones. You have very specific artists you follow just because theyre so good and popular they make you feel bitter and you still check up on them regularly to fuel that bitterness. You know good and well that they make you bitter and angry and peeved but you just keep going back.

Step back for a moment and think.... why on earth am i fucking doing this???? Comparing and feeling bitter about another persons skill or popularity and letting yourself stay sad and bitter isn’t good for ANYTHING, art aside. It’s good to want to feel validated at the work you spent time on but it WILL get tiring if you keep complaining that ‘your art is bad’, ‘your art isnt good’, ‘its shit’ or ‘garbage’. Your brain is just internalizing that and hindering your work and future improvement. It’s most importantly WASTING YOUR own time, YOU the creator. And not to sound snobby here, i really truly dont intend for that, but some of you know good and well that you keep belitting you work because you only just want people to compliment your art when youre only doing the bare minimum to improve! I can only tell you as a friend or an on-looker that i love your art so many times (as much i really do love it and hope for your improvement) if you continuously decide to still turn around and say you hate your work and tell me im wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why reach for compliments then! Why continuously turn them down?

And i’m not saying you cant ever not like your art (cause it happens) or decline a compliment, but to do it every single time....it leaves a bad image for your work. You either start to believe it, or the person complimenting you will get put off from your negativity!

It makes people feel bad, especially if theyre also artist AND also your friends. You can’t keep saying you prefer their work and still put down your own. It makes your artist friend uncomfortable. They might not know how to respond when you keep doing it. And im sure they wouldnt want you to keep making yourself feel bad. Personally, i wish all my art friends success and improvement, and i want them to love and feel proud of their work more than the times they hate it. We really need to uplift each other as artists.

Thanks.

What you think and say is what you become and if youre always negative and comparing youre gonna tear down both the person you admire and yourself. Ie, if youre constantly thinking ‘ill never be as good as this person’,’no ones ever gonna like my work’, ‘i cant color as well as they do’ or saying that your work is only ever garbage... newsflash asshole! your mind absorbs that negativity and makes you believe it! u fool!!!!! Because brains are stupid and can be your worst enemy at times!

Sometimes you just need to stOP looking at certain peoples work completely if it gets you that bitter or angry or sad. Unfollow them! Block them! Delete their name from your search history if you have to! Stop hurting yourself and forget about them, it’s like trying to think about an ex thats moved on. Pointless.

Negative emotions such as sadness and anger are our brains direct ways at trying to reach out to ourselves.

You: seeing cool art Your mind: remembering you dont have some of those skills or popularity + comparing = sadness/ anger/ bitterness at not being able to be at that lvl withtin the same timeframe or less

Your brain is trying to tell you to fix this! But you know you might not have the tools to gain that much popularity or become so good at anatomy, coloring , compositions or backgrounds overnight, so the only solution for your brain is to self-sabotage.

It’s just the same as suddenly feeling sad for no reason. It’s your mind trying to work out a problem you never resolved. Maybe your friends haven’t replied in awhile and you feel ignored. Or you subconsciously remembered a bad experience without really realizing. You’ll get sad. Your mind is is saying ‘Hey asshole im sad. I know it might be out of your control but I’ll stay sad about this one thing until you resolve it somehow. ’ (whether it be blindly distracting yourself on purpose or fully wallowing in the feelings)

So we realized youre feeling intensely about this persons work vs your own...then what exactly happened there? The answer is pretty simple. Some kind of information processing happened in your brain. The result of this processing made the your mind conclude that one of your existing problems (art in this case) can never be solved; whether conscious or unconscious, and this explains why your mood might change all of a sudden without any kind of warning signs (in relation to what you saw).

Inspired VS Jealousy When youre inspired youre working against yourself in a GOOD way. You’re feeling motivated to make something great! Youre feeling motivated to make something better than the last piece!! And honestly thats wonderful!!! That is a lot nicer than being in art-block, comparison negativity hell.

YOU are the only one responsible for where you are as an artist. That goes towards every artist of every skill level! There’s always someone better than you and there’s always someone worse than you. People get better at art in different intervals depending on how much they take in or put into practicing. Some people just get some concepts and fundamentals a lot easier and quicker than others but that doesn’t mean they naturally had that ability from birth. They put in the work just as you should be doing instead of feeling so intensely negative! But when you’re jealous and negative all the time, that’s when it starts to go downhill. :/

Jealously is a very human emotion at its core. And im not saying its super easy to deal with and just suddenly get over, but there are things you can do to slowly help yourself do it at least a little less.

Here’s the best things you CAN do instead:- - Write down some of the things you find yourself feeling bitter over about, especially when you look at another artists work? Ask yourself why these specific things? If it’s something you yourself can work on in your own pieces then maybe uh do that? - Find the time to practice your work. - Practice even more. - If it’s your style that you arent happy with think of the artstyles you like and set aside time to mimic the way that artist might draw something (hence adding that to YOUR style). Take a sketchbook page or two and just draw entirely in those styles. - Practice. I can’t stress this enough. I know artists say this a lot and it can kind of just be thrown around carelessly, but if you keep putting this off and saying you don’t want to practice or talking about how time is going by when you should be practicing things.... and STILL refuse to practice then???? I cant help you sorry. Time waits for no one, so sometimes you need to grab time by the horns and kick its ass for awhile. Put in that effort! - Please use references. Even better if you use it nearly EVERYTIME you draw something, especially yknow...if its a pose, body part or background that you know you have no idea how to properly express! Find a stock image or a variety of websites to use! Save poses that you like from online magazines, other artists and photographs you see anywhere online. I like to look at online magazines from other countries or photographers, and there are tons of places like pinterest or instagram and whatnot. - Stop comparing and being bitter. Ii cant say this enough it gets me so ticked off, but my stubborn taurus self refuses to fully go off until it all piles up and this post is the result lol. If you know you can’t let go hating on a certain artist (for no good reason) then dont hate-follow them! Don’t check up on their work constantly! Don’t even talk about them!!!!!!! Try to get them out of your head for goodness sakes. Majority of the time they dont even know who YOU are so why are you worried about what they’re up to. - STOP SHITTING ON YOUR OWN WORK. - STOP IT RIGHT NOW. - AS THE ARTIST SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FORCE YOURSELF TO SAY ‘’hey, my work isn’t exactly where i want it to be at this point in time and it may never be but i can appreciate that i’ve gotten better at a lot of things and im better than where i was a few years/ a year/ a month ago/ even weeks ago.” - ”I’m proud of this piece and can’t wait to get even better.” - Art is a struggle that takes time, effort and a lot of work. There’s always going to be someone better than you and there’s always going to be someone worse than you. You can only strive to get to the level that would make you happiest, otherwise you will get irritated with it and feel absolutely miserable about everything you produce. - PUT IN THE WORK TO GET YOUR ART OUT THERE. Social media has been both a curse and a blessing to artists all around. It’s made it easier for us to share our work around and opened paths for making money online and at home and connecting with other artists, but competition grows everyday as more people post their work in the same market. (ie another reason why it can be hard to get your commissions out there) Also as artists we want that dopamine rush you get from people liking your stuff, i get that its gucci. -But if you aren’t tagging your works well, posting somewhat consistently, not really bothering to talk to people in certain art communities (even people in your fandom because hey potential friends and even partners on future projects), not adding your works to groups (a big problem i see with people on places like deviantart mostly), joining and sharing them in art group chats/aminos/discords, joining events to get yourself out there (such as zines/big bangs/gift exchanges etc), giving tips and advice or even little helpful tutorials to people then how do you expect to be noticed? How. If youre not doing at least TWO of these things then hoW can you complain about not getting attention. :(

Of course you dont have to do ALL of this. Im just saying ...if you arent out there advertising how will more people know about you? This leads to you thinking no one likes your art (skill level excluded because even my cringiest old art would have a few comments or encouragements to see my future improvement, and i still want to hide when people like/comment/reblog said old art to this very day).

I understand mainly OC artists feel this way that no ones gonna like their characters, or it just doesnt get reblogged enough in general but thats understandable too. No one is ‘selling out’ if they only do fanart. No one is ‘snobby or scared to get themselves out there’ if theyre really enthusiastic about their stories and worlds. Otherwise we wouldnt have fandoms int he first place, theyre all someones work. And hell, good for you if you draw both. It really is just a matter of how you put yourself out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’ll take some time but there IS always someone out there that likes your stuff. And sometimes you just have to be content with making work for yourself, work that makes you happy. The online art world is tough especially when youre small but once you fall into the depths of bitterness its hard to rewire your mind...

This is how yall should be looking at your/others work majority of the time: You: seeing cool art Your mind: omg thats beautiful! i wish i could draw and paint like that. i should practice more , try out some poses and anatomy or implement what they do into my work. i wanna make a cool ass piece like this too i feel so pumped to draw and work!!

And that’s that! Do yourself a favor and be happier you bastards! Its tiring being negative and sad all the time and i want tf out of it. Its so very tiring and annoying to be sad and bitter as shit!!!!! My goD

I can’t really think of anything else to add to this and the text may appear angry sometimes as i was very heated when i wrote this but tried to tone it down a lot hfkds. Im not some ‘art guru goddess with supreme skill uwuw’ but advice is advice! It’s always up to the person listening to take it or not.

I’m gonna end this with one of my favorite art quotes of all time from t h e Arin Hanson himself. Because it really is true.

Get yourself out there, practice towards a level that makes you content and try to have more fun with loving your work.

It’s taken me a long while to post this, as i’ve been feeling this way for...at least a couple months??? but i finally put it all out there i just needed to do this lol. Sorry if i mightve repeated info sometimes here and there?

This post is just as much of a call out to my own actions but more so @ those of you that specifically do this!

Unlikely Theory between Carmen, Chase, and Carmen’s Father

After binge watching Carmen Sandiego (2019), my dumb brain is convince Chase is Carmen’s uncle. Like, maybe it’s because of the artstyle, but Dexter Wolf and Chase Devineaux look a bit similar. And French Argentines make a small percentage of the population i had to look it up. Besides, if the show is gonna reused a character storyline, I’m betting it’s gonna be Shadowsan’s because I feel the writers can make it work twice in a row. I don’t know how they would do it, but this is one way I think they could do it:

So like, we have two brothers living in France, and they’re from working class family (with both parents; no orphans here). Dexter is bored out of his life. He’s sick and tired of barely making ends meet with his parents and not living a life. He wants wants thrills and excitements, and takes up petty pickpockets to get them from time to time. But most of all, he’s sick of his parent’s nagging. He’s tired of them telling him, ‘Watch out for Chase. Take care of Chase. Show Chase right from wrong’’ (yes i took it from spy kids).

Eventually, as his skills get better, he starts stealing items grander than before that isn’t just simple pickpocketing. Dexter unfortunately got caught, and now has to deal with super pissed off parents. So the two lecturing him about how ‘we didn’t raise you like this! this is not what wanted you to be! worse, how will your brother react knowing-’. This pushes Dexter to his limit, as he doesn’t want to be a role mode anymore; he wants to be his own person and self. And Dexter decides to runs away from home with no note or goodbye. Tells himself it’s better to pretend he doesn’t have any family to hide any grief and regrets he could possibly have. Within his time as a lone wolf, Dexter joins VILE and moves up the ranks to join their faulty. All this time, he tell himself life is great! He got the thrills! He got the excitement! There is no more nagging at his ears! So why he feel so unfulfilled at times?

Dexter doesn’t realize he misses having a family until he falls in love with one Vera Cruz. When they settle down in Argentina (with plans of him becoming a citizen of Argentina before/shortly after their daughter is born; it’s Vera’s house they’re living in after all), that unfulfilled feeling is not quite gone, in part because he now thinks of his parents and brother back in France from time to time. Does it mean he wants to go back to his family and make amends? Dexter isn’t sure. However, Dexter does has the desire to see how his brother is doing. Despite being tired of all the nagging in the past, Dexter honestly hope Chase has chosen a different, better path.

Eventually, Dexter and Vera realize it may not be safe for the three to live in Argentina anymore, and they made plans for everyone to live under new names (not in Argentina and France of course) and have fresh start away from VILE. Did it put a wrench in Dexter’s plan to ‘visit’ his family? Yes. But a part of Dexter hopes once the family get settle, with VILE no longer a threat, the three will visit Dexter’s family for real. Of course, we know what happened next...

Meanwhile, back in France, since Dexter left, Chase’s family life slowly starts to deteriorate. Parents fought more, mostly when they think Chase can’t hear them. Almost all of their fights is about Dexter, and if they should tell Chase the truth. Chase as a native child just assumed Dexter left home to make it big in the world, and will support them all when he strike it rich. As a teenager, Chase starts trying to get part time jobs to help his parents, as he’s now convince his brother is ashamed he failed to make it big. Chase has bad luck, and usually gets fired after a few months due to his brash behavior.

One interview ended up resulting in Chase learning about Dexter’s sticky fingers. He tried to applied for a part time job ~probably some sort of shop that sells antiques and real fancy stuff~ but the owner, after saying Chase will be consider, hired someone else. Chase confronted the owner, with the owner saying he doesn’t trust Chase after his brother tried to steal from the shop, afraid he’s just trying to finish the job. Upset with the truth -and with the implication criminal blood runs through his veins- Chase starts to act out. Nothing to bad to where he gets arrested, just creating property damages (he never got caught) and some vices, mainly smoking. After another over heard fight, this time about Chase himself and how he’ll turn out like Dexter, Chase change his tune to not disappoint his parents, and starts chewing on mints to avoid smoking.

By the time he graduated, and with Chase deciding to pursue a career in law enforcement, Chase pretends he never had a brother. No reason why he should tell people about the family’s selfish jerk of a criminal who only cared about himself and only himself. As he becomes older and climbs the ranks, Chase becomes obsessed with criminals, mainly thieves. Probably his way to upstage his brother, to prove he’s better than him, that Chase didn’t need a role model to become who he is, an enforcer of the law. Never did Chase thought about his brother until his parents get a letter about Dexter’s death in Argentina.

After so many years, they finally got news, and it’s from a stranger. A ‘friend’ of Dexter, the friend wrote that they’re willing to pay to fly Dexter’s body back to them for a proper funeral. As the three make funeral arrangements, the parents ended up fighting again, in who knows how long, and of course Chase overhears. The two are torn about if they should tell Chase how Dexter died. Shot outside his house, it change into a fight about Dexter’s morals. They couldn’t agree if Dexter changed for the better, and him trying to give himself up caused this tragic accident, or if Dexter haven’t change at all, dying like a coward when trying to make his escapes. In the end, the parents agree to forgive the dead, and to never speak of it to Chase.

The funeral as such was intense and awkward, mostly on Chase’s side. While their parents and few friends talk and remember Dexter as the boy he was, Chase could only think of Dexter as the man he became. There’s still a lot of resentment and conflicting feelings. As everyone left, Chase was certain he saw a woman in red several feet away. He didn’t get a good look at her, since she quickly vanished. Chase told himself she was probably just visiting someone, and she just happened to get a glimpse of them and the funeral.

At least until 19~20 years later, when Interpol starts to learn of a woman in red stealing.

Again, I seriously doubt the show will make the two related, hence unlikely.

Entertainment Media I Liked a Bunch

Somebody asked me to provide a list of entertainment media I enjoy that I don’t regularly make YT videos on, so here’s some off the top of my head in random order unless otherwise specified. I only included media I have a high opinion of (as opposed to it just being decent or pretty good). Basically, this is stuff I’d spend money on to own. Also, I definitely forgot to list a ton of stuff; this is simply what came to mind first.

Anime

FLCL has been and continues to be my favorite anime. A ridiculous amount of plot and depth packed into 6 episodes with incredible pacing and the best soundtrack.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (and 2nd Gig). Both seasons of this anime are really good overall, though a few of the stand alone episodes are pretty bad. One of just a few anime where I prefer the English dub.

Serial Experiments Lain was something I loved in high school, but I really need to re-watch it to give an up-to-date opinion (I own the blu-ray yet have never popped it in). Still, I feel like it’s worth mentioning just because there are few things out there like it.

Dead Leaves is all the fun GAINAX packs scrunched into a 50 minute hyperfest without the slog of mediocre plot which I feel plagues a lot of their work.

Princess Mononoke is the best Ghibli film, hands down.

Manga

Japan Tengu Party Illustrated is my favorite manga and it’s essentially a story about identity. Has a very unique woodblock print artstyle. Definitely not everybody’s cup of tea.

Freesia is really dark, awful, depressing, and vile. I really like it, but it’s not for the faint of heart, and definitely NSFW.

Vinland Saga is like a more introspective Berserk without the fantasy elements (also there’s no “boat issues,” and a long arc about farming is in my opinion Vinland Saga’s best arc so far).

FLCL manga is actually quite different from the anime, and I love it.

Hunter x Hunter is unexpectedly subverts and deconstructs common shounen tropes, though the first arc is pretty bland in my opinion. I personally prefer the manga; the artwork varies in quality but the anime has pacing issues (though which shounen anime doesn’t?). Hunter x Hunter just gets better and better the further it goes.

Full Metal Alchemist is a really solid shounen series. I prefer the manga, but the Brotherhood anime is decent (just has standard pacing issues as well as weird shifts in focus for some events).

Sengoku Youko is like an Inuyasha-ish series if Inuyasha was actually engaging and not downright awful. The pacing tends to be all over the place in the manga, but it still is a stand-out shounen for me. Same guy did Lucifer and Buscuit Hammer which started great but dragged on too much around the middle.

TV Shows

Avatar: The Last Airbender. I consider it greater than the sum of its parts, and it has some pretty grand character arcs. I didn’t particularly enjoy Korra, because I think it has the opposite problem; it’s parts are greater than the whole.

The Wire is an amazing show about how systems effect the individual and vice versa, and it’s just a really realistic depiction of various problems that plague cities. This ain’t your average cop show, and somehow it just manages to build more and more on itself with each season. I think everyone should watch it.

Twin Peaks – I think everybody’s heard of David Lynch’s work by now. I’m one of those people who really like the 1st season, but I think the 2nd season essentially turned into fanfiction and I’m not fond of it whatsoever.

Breaking Bad – everyone’s heard of it. It’s good. I feel like I don’t even need to list it.

Films

Alright, so I’m getting tired of providing descriptions at this point, so I’m just gonna provide names of movies I’ve enjoyed.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Let the Right One In

The City of Lost Children

Trainspotting

There Will Be Blood

Moonrise Kingdom

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Pulp Fiction

Eagle vs. Shark

The Hunter

Green Room

How I Ended This Summer

Drive

In Bruges

Where the Wild Things Are

I tried to put the questions in instead of just numbers but alack, too many questions, too little space. 2, 3, 8, 13, 14, 15, 19. And -- *copycatting*-- FOR ALL

THANKS THIS IS GONNA TAKE TWELVE YEARS

2. Say your OC made a playlist on Spotify. What bands would be on that playlist? Any specific genres?

Berlin - He’s this weird mix between folksy stuff like Fleet Foxes and indie rock like Bastille. Lark - She would be blasting the Maroon 5 and Halsey through her car speakers, but also listening to stupid stuff like Bad Lip Reading songs on the down-low. Kes - 10 hours of Latin prayer chants, and her side playlist of random Florence + The Machine/Lana Del Rey/Daughter stuff that she listens to on private mode.Arthur - half his playlists have like one song in them, and it’s always something that you’d never actually figure that he’d listen to, and you’d be right because he hasn’t clicked on that playlist in 4 months. he makes his own music more than he listens to it. the playlists he does regularly use are for parties. lark also made him a playlist that he keeps meaning to listen to but somehow every time he clicks play, he never hears anything and then it’s over. Amber - doesn’t know what a spotify is, doesn’t care, has better things to do |Sitara - like, I WANT to listen to her playlist. because she’s one of those people who loves music but gets tired of it quickly, so she’s always finding new stuff and her playlists are a total mess. Every genre. It doesn’t matter what it is, she can find an occasion for it. Edward - a playlist containing nothing but “Be a Man” from Mulan on loop3. What kind of video games would they play? Any specific titles?Berlin - Lol okay, he was MADE for first-person shooters. But is he actually playing them? No. He’s playing those cute little flash games with bunnies hopping onto logs or something. Lark - Overwatch, because of the team-building element. She’ll usually only play video games in general if she’s with other people, except for the Sims which she’ll play alone if she needs character inspiration.Kes - Is somehow ridiculously good at the first-person shooters. This freaks her out. And she still doesn’t *get* the Sims but she plays it sometimes anyway because it’s fun to pretend to have a happy familyArthur - he will be HORRIBLE at anything he tries, unless he hyperfocuses on it, and then suddenly he is champion at everything and people refuse to play with him anymore. Amber - she’s really good at portal and she doesn’t even try to be. it just kind of happens. also she finds surgeon simulator to be horrendously inaccurate and she refuses to play it. Sitara - why on earth would you kill people in a video game when you could do it in real lifeEdward - DITTO. but he’s like, super good at tetris and doesn’t tell anyone.

bonus: Nick plays Crossyroad. Don’t ask. he just does.

8. How does your OC keep track of time? Do they have a planner? A calendar?

Berlin - He has a lot of people barking instructions at him, so he never really has the chance to forget what he’s doing or when he’s supposed to do it. But he’s naturally really organized so he’d probably have a planner otherwise. Lark - She’s usually on time because she hates to be late to the action or disappoint anyone counting on her. But sometimes she gets distracted by like, people on the street during her commute. Kes - time is a human construct, who needs it? the goddess will tell us when to leave and when to arrive. the moon spirits speak her truth into the ears of those who will listen Arthur - has owned approximately 500 planners in his life. it doesn’t matter how much he writes in them. he forgets they exist and is late anyway. Amber - has owned approximately 0 planners in her life. she is a perfect piece of ENTJ timekeeping. she doesn’t need a watch, or the sun, or you, probably. Sitara - has neatly plotted out her day, or hired someone to do it for her. Usually on time, but if she’s not, it’s because she decided it wasn’t worth her time to be there in the first place. Edward - is honestly more of a diva than sitara most of the time. he shows up if he wants to show up. you can’t tell him where to be.

13. If you are an artist, and if your OC can draw as well, could you replicate what their artstyle looks like? Or, if you can’t, could you describe it?

Berlin - once he smeared some blood on a rock and called it art Lark - doodles on the margins of reports and discarded typewriter pages. Is better than she thinks she is but’ll never do anything with it. Kes - paints and writes all over the walls of her shed. No specific style; she’ll try anything you’ll teach her. Arthur - Cannot draw, doesn’t try Amber - wouldn’t actually be bad at it if she’d just sit down and learn for like five minutes Sitara - Has developed her skill over the years and is probably the only character I have who could actually paint your portrait and would gladly do it. Edward - what is paint. it has the word pain on it. is it like that

14. If your OC owned a Tumblr blog, what kind of content would they post?

Berlin - I actually have a private blog for Berlin and it is entirely pictures of snakes, jackets, bunnies, and depressing quotes. Lark - She has two blogs–one for her professional stuff, and the other for maximum memeing and opinion pieces. Sometimes she mixes them up and her professional people get a horrible wake-up call as to her sense of humor. Kes - Meditations, uses it as her personal journal, a little bit of a SJW when she’s tired. accidently follows a NSFW blog because she thought they just wanted to be her friend and she didn’t look at the content first. Arthur - if there was ever a theme, it died long ago. also he might still be confusing facebook with tumblr because the colors are too similar. forgot his password. Amber - queen of throwing shade to people. has 2000 followers and she doesn’t know why because she didn’t ask them to be there. why are 2000 people following a blog about sutures. surely they have lives. leaves arthur to answer her hate mail, and answers serious asks from medical students if she feels generous. Sitara - KITTY PIX Edward - I tried to ask him what he’d have on his blog and he just looked at me really scarily and i stopped asking.

15. How do they type? Do they use emojis? Do abbreviate and shorten words?

Berlin - if he likes you, he doesn’t care. you’re getting whatever he’s dishing out at that particular moment (this includes random bouts of existentiality that you never asked for). Lark - Always has the perfect word for every situation. Understands emojis and internet speak the day it emerges on Tumblr. probably started the “me, an intellectual” meme. gif queen. Kes - doesn’t know why you’d type when you could just….talk to people?Arthur - Autocorrect is NOT his friend. But he never corrects autocorrect because by the time he realizes his mistake he’s already forwarded it to you and your boss and your aunt. He and Lark have gif wars.Sitara - Doesn’t even have a phone because someone would probably find a way to hack it and she is NOT being taken out by a camera phone scandal. Amber - Only answers texts at 2 AM. Perfect grammar. Has never used an emoji in her life. Deletes them if they automatically show up. Edward - you texted him once, and he replied telling you exactly where you could stick your texting. you were never brave enough to contact him again.

19. Does your OC like to collect things? What kind of things do they collect?

Berlin - he picks up rocks sometimes, and then puts them back because they might be some convict’s soul and he’s not in the mood to cart around convict souls in his pockets.Lark - she has an entire drawer full of feathers. she picks them up off the sidewalk every time she sees one while she’s out walking. she also has a pen collection and a playbill collection from all the shows she’s been to. she draws mustaches on the ones she didn’t like. Kes - hordes books. also doesn’t really have any books. but if she had money and a house she’d have a lot of books.Arthur - he’s got a touch of kleptomania about him so he’s inadvertently stolen every pen that anyone has ever given him. I guess that counts. (Some of them are from Lark’s collection, and if she’s noticed, she hasn’t asked for them back)Amber - does not see the point of useless junk hanging around. just clean up your life. Sitara - she has a collection of pawprints (ink pressed onto paper) from every cat she has ever owned/cared for. they’re in a little drawer in her room and she looks through them whenever she misses them. Edward - do scars count because he has a lot of those and they don’t seem to be stopping.

If you’re not too mad at me for clogging up your feed, send me an OC ask here!

#my story world doesn't contain emojis or tumblr or video games or spotify #but I answered as if it does #this did in fact take twelve years but it was a ton of fun #thank you!!#loricori #asks

i am tired

[tw suicide mention]

i am fucking tired. i am tired of trying to look cutesy and polite and 100% unproblematic. i am FUCKING TIRED of getting anxiety attacks daily because of my note and follower count, i am FUCKING TIRED of dealing with assholes and being tricked into triggering subjects. of not being able to vent. of hiding my explosive personality and smiling for shitty people, of pretending i’m 100% okay with my fandoms and enabling other people’s shitstorms.

i made this fucking blog bc i didn’t want fandom to be mixed up with my inspiration blog and because i felt lucky after my 1300 notes reylo piece. i was just that, lucky, i won’t get another 1000 notes post anytime soon. my artstyle is weird, i’m not a virtuose or ‘able to draw realistically’ [most of time] but fook, but FOOK, i am a nasty person. i like nasty things and my ideas are nasty. most people aren’t into this shit i like. this will not change. and i won’t go for realism everytime just to get notes, bc sometimes the piece just DOESN’T need realism to be a complete piece on its own.

i tried since that godforsaken month of december to fit in and be another one of the cool girls. but i’m not cool, and i’m not even a girl. i am a nasty bastard that loves kylo ren more than he loves literally anything in the world, and loves drawing him on ways that aren’t aesthetically pleasing most of time. also i commit the sin of being a multishipper on this shitty fandom full of shitty ship wars, so most strict reylos/strict kyluxers won’t follow me and i’m certain at least 3 BNF kyluxers had me blocked BC I LIKE SEEING KYLO BANGING THE GURL INSTEAD OF THE BOY SOMETIMES. DAMN IT.

i am not a smiley face you don’t even know the gender that serves you with smiley pictures of kylo ren kissing people and gifs of adam’s cute mug. i am a real person with real struggles, that is FUKKIN TIRED of doing things he dislikes to pretend to be someone he’s not and please people he despises.

they said ‘create a kylux blog separate from the reylo blog’. i won’t. BEING A REYLO IS NOT A FUCKING CRIME FOR GOD’S SAKE. and all my reylo is tagged, all my kylux is tagged as well, if you dislike one of them you just won’t see it on your dash. i don’t care about the follower count anymore, i fucking don’t, those who unfollow me are not my friends and they will never be, if they can’t handle my true self they don’t deserve to be here. shit, since i joined this fandom i became suicidal more times than i can count, yesterday i even sat at my balcony and put my feet off it, because i felt like it was WRONG being the way i am. being rude, hysterical, intense, hopelessly in love and 200% horny all the time. ‘too emotional to be on the internet’, ‘wallowing in self pity’, ‘ungrateful’. i felt like high school all over again, the pretty faces being popular and loved and peeps making AU’s of their art and fic and the weirdos left to rot somewhere else, away from the smiling faces, just getting ‘ew’ looks sometimes. i am fucking 24 years old, 25 this year. i’m TOO FOOKIN OLD FOR HIGH SCHOOL SHIT.

that being said, i’ll keep posting my art in here. i will keep updating ciarán’s too. maybe i will reblog less stuff bc it’s gotten to a point where i reblog so much shit just to keep the queue running, i don’t even remember what i just reblogged. this is not how i want to keep a blog. this is not how i want to treat kylo’s precious long face, as some kind of product that needs to be always plentiful on a supermarket shelf. he is the man of my life, not some kind of decorative product just sitting there to please the bored eyes of people who already saw the same fucking Cannes photoshoot 25 times in a row in their dashboards.

for those who stay, i swear it’s gonna be a good, yet wild, ride.
