OPLA got me. I've been doodling One Piece since it came out. I finally saved and drew some time-skip boys. There is a serious LACK of Sanji being a heart-eyed doting partner to a needy awkward Zoro.

Please talk to me about One Piece. I'm up to Dressrosa using the One Pace.

( . . . why does tumblr always screw up the resolution? No matter what I do )

JSYK the OP of the Crab Day post is a self-identified conservative Christian. Can't speak to anything she may have done or said, but I do know that Crab Day wouldn't actually fix Tumblr - the site is running a 30mil *deficit,* which is different from debt. All Crab Day would do would be telling staff that their current policies get users to send them more money, which doesn't actually change anything. Corporations change only when their business strategy is losing the shareholders money.

Gotta be honest, my friend, I'm... not sure what you're trying to do here? Warn me that the original post was made by a Problematic Person (tm) and therefore that must mean it's all wrong, or.... what?

We know that Tumblr badly needs money, because they have told us that and openly admitted that the unpopular new changes were spurred by a need for increasing revenue. I logged on just now on desktop and got a suggestion that I could purchase an ad-free browsing subscription to help support the hellsite (which is the word they used, because they have very much embraced the joke). I have in fact already bought an ad-free subscription, both because I like the product Tumblr provides and want to keep using it in its current form, and because it makes my mobile experience immeasurably nicer. I am well aware that especially in this era of social media sites dropping like flies, the continued existence of a platform that is 30-million-dollars underwater (however you want to split hairs about exactly how) is not a guarantee. And we all complain about Tumblr, but we have all been here a long time (me, uh, over 10 years), we have a solid community, there's no other alternative that's really ever come up or gotten the same kind of uptake, and if it went under, we would be uh, screwed.

Tumblr is kind of a mess, it's the antithesis of every social media site, and it doesn't (for now) have the crap that makes The Artist Formerly Known As Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram so utterly unusable, or if it does, you can (mostly) turn it off. That's why we all like it and why, even if we are resolutely anti-capitalist gremlins who resist being marketed to with every fiber of our being, it doesn't change the fact that servers, staff, and all the rest cost real human-people money which the site, by their own frank admission, is struggling to raise. Even if staff does often make crappy updates, they generally at least TRY to listen to us and include a feature to make it optional or roll it back, unlike certain unnamed idiot billionaires. Their mockery of other social media sites can sometimes be a little much, but for now, Tumblr is pretty much the last place on the internet that does what it does, and I like it that way. If it went under and took my blog of 10+ years and all my friends with it, I would be incredibly sad.

That being the case, and basic financial realities being what they are, encouraging people to toss a few bucks at a TOTALLY OPTIONAL and fun gimmick that increases functionality for a product we like is actually not a bad thing. TumblrMart has crabs, checkmarks, Ea-Nasir merchandise (seriously), ad-free browsing, etc., and if our choice is voluntarily supporting the site through fun (and again, OPTIONAL) purchases versus having us all be involuntarily subject to some horrible data-scraping mechanism or forced off altogether because they couldn't keep the lights on, that is fine with me. Nobody is making anybody do or buy anything. But if you like the product Tumblr provides and want a fun material way to show your appreciation, then I don't think it's some Great Transgression to participate in that.

Episode 49 Notes-

Heheheh I had a snow day so I got to listen early!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit there were so many things bad that happened to normal lately 😭 

They’re in the past!!!!!! Oh my goddddddd

Linc’s Teen Fact: Linc had to do things other than soccer playing so Marco and Grant got him into artsy stuff. Of course he only would pain/sculpt soccer type things. So he decided to start selling them on Next Door (with an account called Foot King). Marco and Grant took him off of the app. He’s a good painter basically

Normal’s Teen Fact: Normal always keeps his hot glue gun on him

Scary’s Teen Fact: Scary doesn’t have a New Years Resolution because she decided it was too resolute (too firm, too definite). She wants to be able to choose whether or not to do something 

Daddy Fact: Anthony’s goal is to write a porn thing and he was reached out to by a porn website to write for them. He was gifted a care package (picture as you will)

Day 1/365: Again

Ten years ago, I made the resolution to myself that I would document the entirety of my last year as a teenager. For 365 days, I answered a question-of-the-day from back when Tumblr challenges were all the rage.

If you've been following me for a long time, you'd know I document pretty much everything—at least, I used to. For the past few years, it has been harder and harder to write about my life, or myself. I barely post anymore, and it is because I have lost what made me special. My connection to everything I felt in the world, something I've had since I was born, was why I was able to write. Somehow, it disappeared. The point of this is to try and reform a connection again—whether with nature, or myself. If I sit down and write something every day, something might jog. If not, then I will have at least documented the very last year of my 20's.

If you're reading this someday—I hope you've found what we're looking for.

Day 1: Hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture of yourself

Writing out aspirations feels so self-important now and too big for my body. Even curling my hair today felt wrong—peacocking around. I don't feel curly. I figure I could change my wardrobe a bit this year—get rid of everything unfitting of me now, which is a lot. In general, I'm fine with how I look, at least. I woke up today and when I looked in the mirror, the first thought I had was, "I'm pretty." Which is great, for 29, but I would trade it to have the stuff I had on the inside again.

I do have bigger plans for this year, though. I haven't told anyone I live with yet, but I'm moving out. The Mailman and I are going to get a little place of our own on our one year anniversary—he's been the best part of the past few years, and I'm still reeling about how serendipitously we met. These things will hit you like a truck, when you least expect it. A mail truck. (He did not hit me with his truck. This is not how we met.)

In order to do that though, I have to focus on my other main goal. I haven't told anyone I work with yet, but I'm getting a new job. I've been applying to a bunch of different positions since December, after I got screwed on a raise I was supposed to get. I'm going to miss this place a lot, since I love my job, and before anything else, it was the one thing that kept me stable the past few years. But, it's time to move on.

In short: I want a $60k salary with a perfect place to live for the Mailman and I, and I want to find the fundamental missing piece of me that pulses and bounds with adoration for life again.

...

I think I was saying something earlier in this about not feeling self-important and big. Ignore all that then, it probably wasn't anything.

Happy Birthday, 29.

How Batching Comics Saved My Life

Jesus its been...quite a while since I last posted onto any of my tumblr accounts. Its not that I didn't forget that I had an account here, its just that I've been busy with school and my drawing Crescent Blue. Meaning any free time I have is limited which results in me neglecting like half of my socials. Comics and college has made doing social media difficult. That and I wasn't sure how to handle 2 out of the 3 tumblr blogs I have. But I've thought that I had use this specific blog for text blog posts, along with drawings I'm working on and stuff like that. Most of it will be a lot of writing type stuff like this so this should be fun. Anyways, onto the topic I wanted to talk about.

I've been drawing Crescent Blue for coming on 4 years now. And those 4 years were spent drawing its first Chapter. Its overly long chapter. I have realized the mistake I made back when I was prepping to draw it back in 2019, where 16 year old me who had never drawn a comic at this scale decided to go out adapting the opening chapter draft which was written to be the length of a double length tv show pilot (because that's how wrote scripts back in the day) without realizing the implications of how many pages I would have to draw, and that maybe I should've done more prep work to make sure I wouldn't be working on it well into college. Because I probably would've gotten burnt out with it after being stuck on it for so long. And that would end up happening when 2021 rolled around. Thanks to mental health struggles I faced through out 2020, which lowered my tolerance to drawing comics which I didn't enjoy, I had drawn a total of 28 pages by going into the new year. Feeling ashamed of that pace, I managed to motivate myself and make it a new years goal to devote more time to my comic and get faster in order to complete my first chapter. This manifested in a couple of ways, from illustrating backgrounds in graphite as to avoid inking them and potentially screwing them up, to manning up and move to drawing it digitally as opposed to traditionally (I did not have access to photoshop or a good drawing tablet when I had started so I did what I had always done and use paper, pencils and inking pens/brushes. However, I would get my XP Pen Artist 12 for my 17th birthday 2 months later, and I would be able to use photoshop at home by early 2020). But what I mostly did was focus on drawing pages more, moving onto the next one after finishing the last one without taking a break. Basically muscling my way through with the expectation that I would eventually get faster. This did not work, and here's why.

This one by one approach isnt bad on paper, and there are plenty of artists out there that drawing comics this way and don't have any issues. For me, the issue I found with this process was that it didnt lend itself very well to spend. Not all pages are created equal, taking longer or shorter to complete depending on the complexity of the drawing. In my experience, there were pages that took only a couple of hours to complete, and others that took days to get done, and this isn't factoring in stuff like school. This aspect brings up the problem with me muscling through pages. There are times where I dont want to work on my comic, and often times after I would finish a page, I wouldn't have enough motivation to get to the next one. But in my attempt to not spend years drawing my first chapter, I would force myself to draw pages even when I didn't want to. This results in numerous cases of burnout and art block, which can cripple you and slow you down, defeating the point of muscling through it all. One notable instance of this I can remember happened in February last year.

By July of 2022, I would've been drawing Chapter 1 for 3 years and as my new years resolution, I wanted to get it done by that time. I had made great progress in 2021, catching up to page 75 by the time of new years, and I felt confident in my ability to get it done that year. That hope was shattered when I did what I had done with one of my pages and complete a future page ahead of time. Said page was the last post I made on this blog which I've actually completed a few weeks ago. The numbering for that page is 148 (was probably lower last year as I did end up adding pages during that time thanks to rewrites). And at that time, I had just passed the 80th page mark. It was then that I realized the implications of what I needed to do in order to get Chapter 1 done that year. I would've had to draw more than double the amount of pages I had drawn in 2021, and given the way I was drawing comic pages at the time, I knew deep down that wouldn't be possible. But not wanting to admit it, I tried muscling through the pages I was working on, hoping that if I pushed myself beyond my limit I would miraculously become faster and more efficient. But that didn't happen. The stress caused by my realization and the refusal to accept it caused me to become more and more agitated, which caused me to make errors and not draw as well as I would've wanted. Said agitation also clouded my thoughts and made drawing more and more difficult as soon as I knew it. I had burned myself out.

I think I've done a good job at laying out why this method didn't work for me, and if I was still drawing comics this way, I would not be finishing my first Chapter this year. And at this point, I would like to take a moment to shout out @the-underground-beauty. If it hadn't been for her, I not have found out about batching and I wouldn't have been even close to ending this long ass chapter. I was in a discord call with them and other art friends I knew, and I talking about ways of becoming faster at completing pages. They explained that they batched multiple pages instead of drawing them one by one like I had. Like, you would do the layouts for one page, then you would do the layouts for the next page, same goes for sketching and inking. This makes it so that instead of dumping all of your energy into one page, you're spreading that work into multiple pages and thus, become more efficient. Now you might be wondering how this would be better than my old method. Wouldn't working on multiple pages at the same time instead of going one by one be worse? In my experience, it's the complete opposite.

Along with the upsides I've mentioned above, its also very flexible in regards to inking/coloring. In the past, I found myself getting board with pages and wanting to move onto the next one but couldn't because I had to finish the one I was working on. I don't need to worry about that with batching. I can go in chronological order or skip pages to come back to them latter. This can be very handy when it comes to complex pages that would take a lot of time to complete. If Im not feeling up for it at that moment, I can just skip that one and come back later once I feel ready. It also points out the most time consuming part of drawing comics, sketching. Inking is one thing, but when you're doing a lot more work when doing the sketches. And depending on what the storyboards call for, the sketching process for a given page can take a pretty long time and a lot of energy. But with the batching process, the energy I would've spent finishing said page with inking and shading/coloring can be better spent on other pages. This means that I would need to worry a whole lot when inking as most of the hard work was done prior.

Batching also helps with putting what you're working on into perspective. Throughout most of my time drawing my comic, I found it difficult to view the pages I'm working on as being apart of a much larger story, rather than on a page by page basis. I would spend so much time on them that I would view the page I was working on as being its own separate thing, unrelated to the pages that came before or after. Batching, in a way, solved this issue, because now that Im working on a part all at once instead of going page by page, it helped me view what I'm working on as being pieces of a story, rather than being their own thing. I felt that the pages I was batching had more unity to them than the ones before it. Its difficult for me to describe this feelings, because I would always get it when finishing a part and rereading it. Pages that would take weeks to complete took more a couple of minutes to read, despite the specific pages taking so much time to finish. I haven't had that feeling after adopting batching as my new method of drawing comics, since every page all at once.

But how has it worked in practice? Well to see if batching was effective or not, I decided to batch the remaining six pages of what would by episode 7 on CB's tapas page. I got those done in a week. And 2 months later in May, I began work on pages 95 through 105 and this was the true test to to see if batching could really be effective for an entire part. I got it done with in a month. The after that wasn't as successful, but I mostly contribute it to external factors that had nothing to do with batching. At the start of this year, I decided to ditch the part by part method and go at the remaining 67 pages of Chapter 1 all at once. At the time of writing this, I'm still not finished with this Chapter yet but I don't expect it to be for quite long. I anticipate on wrapping it all up around June of this year. So with all this being said, I think I can conclude that batching comics has been way more effective in terms of speed. Over a 100 pages over the course of one year, way more than I had in the past with the old method. If I hadn't switched up the way I had been drawing comics back in March of last year, I don't think I would've come this far! Now I am aware that batching might not work for other artists, and that's fine. But if you are in a place like I was and want to get pages done quicker, I suggest giving it a try and see if it works for you or not :)

If Aawari and Silas had both been sold to the lab, would Laz’ab had killed Silas and still take Aawari, or would he take both?

I showed her your ask so you get an answer from Sak (Laz’ab’s creator) herself... and even some art she did for the occasion!!

More about this situation (which we turned into an AU now!) under the cut, all written by Sak! Thank you for the very inspiring ask!

Moonlit and I received a very interesting question from a user on Tumblr, about how circumstances could have been if Silas was also imprisoned in the lab Laz'ab raided, as well as Aawari. Would he have killed Silas, or would he have taken them both?

Sadly, SWtOR!Laz is easily the worst and most messed-up of the bunch. If he didn't outright kill Silas in the raid, he would certainly take pleasure from his obvious distress, and recognizing a connection between the two might separate them purposefully just to watch Silas suffer.

This led to many fun ideas, including how Aawari would react to Laz if he'd been the one to separate her from Silas, whether she'd grow up hating him, eventually growing attached to her captor, or if she would simply feign affection for her own safety while slowly biding her time.

There could also be the possibility of Silas surviving, broken body and soul, and nurturing years of resentment, spite, and hate. Eventually he rebuilds his broken body and tracks down Laz'ab many years later, his body now a souped-up cybernetic mess capable of facing off with a Sith Lord. Aawari, now an adult, would have the possibility of being torn between her brother who loved her, and the murderer who raised her.

It's all very screwed up and there is sadly no happy ending in the SWtOR canon. At the end of the day there is nothing romantic about manipulative abusers, childhood trauma, and mental illness.

Laz'ab's decision to "rescue" Aawari from the lab she was being experimented on had everything to do with her proficiency in the Force and his resolution to use her for his own ends, and nothing at all with doing the right thing or pity. Perhaps an element of attachment developed later, but however you slice it, Aawari grows up in an unpredictable, unsafe environment where she is constantly fearing for her life, has all control wrested away from her, and must rely on someone else for survival.

Are all chapters of unintended in ao3? I see that it says 1 chapter, did you put all you posted in tumblr in that chapter or are you going to upload them eventually?

So none of what is on tumblr is on ao3 yet. The chapter on ao3 is all new content. Chapter 2, which is currently almost 6k and should be up this week if my kids cooperate, will be brand new as well. You’ll start to see some of what’s on tumblr show up in chapter 3 and then moving into chapter 4 with some revisions to adjust the timeline as I’ve locked down the outline more clearly and in some cases with expansions just because (a dance at the Organa’s, anyone?).

When I started posting this nonsense back in October I had a general idea for this “marriage of convenience” style plot but hadn’t quite worked out all the logistics, emotional and otherwise, of the premise or the resolution. So I just sort of said ‘screw it’ and started in the early middle of the story on vibes alone. Which is why I kept it to tumblr for so long.

But I now have a fully fleshed outline (by which I mean I have repeatedly told this as a campfire story on the obidala discord server to anyone stupid enough to ask me about it), and feel much more prepared to write Anakin and the anidala elements which are essential to the emotional arc of this story with the care and respect they deserve. So it felt like it was ready for full story treatment, which included starting at the very beginning with the elopement itself, and some critical insight into exactly how Obi-Wan and Padme wound up in this situation and the nature of the understanding between them. From there we’ll feed into what’s posted on tumblr.

And then strap in everyone because with all that the story is just getting started, and I’m super excited to take you on this ride.

MUNDAY QUESTIONAIRE. || ACCEPTING

1 & 2. When did you start writing on Tumblr? Who was your first muse?

Already answered in a previous ask!

20. How do you overcome writer’s block?

24. What about your muse are you most proud of?

I answered this one earlier based on what I'm proud of regarding the end result/reception of my muse. But to answer my initial (misunderstood) meaning of the question. Things to be proud of my muses for are few and far between. I mean... look at who I'm writing for! Disasters as far as the eye can see. That being said, there are things spread out between the atrocities:

For Sally: I'm proud of her accountability and the fact that she was able to accept how her actions ended up screwing over her patients, no matter how noble and kind her intentions were.

Now, I mean this in regards to the aftermath of the incident at Crotus Prenn. After her death and the vengeance, or more accurately, extended torture of her killers. She returned to that place, maybe for closure, only to find that a majority of the patients she had tried to free remained.

They weren't alive anymore, yet, their souls were unwavering. She was, at first, distraught, in disbelief that they had stayed. Why would they stay?! Nothing was holding them?! Then came the anger. She had given them mercy, more of a mercy than anyone else would give them. She wanted them to be free, to be at peace. Why wouldn't they take it? Then it clicked. What would peace be to them?

In the rush of trying to solve everyone's pain, she had focused on a solution that would work for her; she knew the rest her soul needed terribly and how to achieve it. But many of her patients didn't have that luxury. Sally had never considered it, but their world was much smaller than hers.

The Asylum was all most of them had known for years, a buoy in a never-ending storm, and like a drowning sailor, they wouldn't let go of it, not for the promise of some concept of peace or a promise of a great outside world that seemed utterly alien to them. Even in death, they were constrained, not physically, but through their fear.

Back at square one and seeing how she had left them moored between worlds, she was nearly as lost, but she knew she couldn't leave them. Not like this, not in this state that she had left them. No matter how her soul screamed for her to give up the ghost, she was resolute that she would remain by the sides of her patients. Caring for them just as she had in life, protecting them, even in their new spectral form, from this day until the end of days... or at least until they were ready to pass on.

On a scale from 0 to 10 are you okay? Volume 2 was... not what we expected, or hoped for. At all.

I'm at like a solid 3. I had a shit day and was so looking forward to coming home and watching ST volume 2 to end my day with a positive bang but it just left me disappointed and hollow. Everything felt so rushed, so shallow, so cliché and so predictable.

As soon as I saw Will's little horrific speech in the van I knew exactly what was going to happen and I wasn't wrong. I was sadly right and it was the most boring and anticlimactic resolution to such a hyped up climax.

i would say i’m at a 1. i had woken up at 7:30 in the morning so that i could watch volume 2 with my sibling before i had physical therapy. i was so so excited that i didn’t sleep.

and then i saw that shit and i was so disappointed. my sibling knew byler probably wouldn’t happen but even they were super uncomfortable with how everything came about.

idk man. i’m really struggling to stay optimistic this time. they queer baited us so hard that it is so hard to believe they would do anything in season 5. idek if i’ll watch season 5. i’ll probably go on tumblr and look at spoilers to see if i want to watch it our not.

i have no clue how the duffer brothers are gonna get themselves out of this one. they really screwed themselves over.

Trying out making a blinkie from scratch, and the first thing that sprung into my mind was this! I love NITW so I thought it'd be a fun tribute having a character from that be my first little site blinkie

Here's the original resolution:

And have an upscaled version if you need it, too:

Free to use - credit isn't required but greatly appreciated! Let me know if y'all need a direct download in case Tumblr screws up the upload or something.

WIP WEDNESDAY THURSDAY

Thanks for the tag @rmd-writes ❤️

As usual, I have nothing except Tennis AU so hope this will suffice (god, everyone's gonna have read this entire fic through Tumblr soon).

"I'm not burning," TK replies resolutely, plucking a water bottle up from the ground and taking a long pull, "and if you want to promote your sunblock agenda, maybe you should talk to Carlos. He's not even wearing a shirt and his cap is on backwards. What's that even protecting?"

"His neck," Nancy shrugs. "I'm your physio, not his. Plus, I have eyes. I can see that Carlos is not wearing a shirt, I just think you've got us both covered in the appreciation department."

TK splutters on his water, practically inhaling it. "What's that supposed to mean?" he coughs, his voice unusually high pitched as it rings in his ears.

Nancy smirks. "Oh nothing," she replies lightly. "You just look at him like you'd like to lick—"

"Okay, no," TK interjects. "We work together, Nancy. Rule number one – you don't screw the crew."

"You don't?" Nancy asks, a teasing lilt to her voice as her eyes light up. "I guess you've never heard of interoffice relationships?"

TK flicks her with water. "Rule number two – don't be an asshole."

"Yeah, that one’s not going to work for me," she grins, wiping a few droplets of water from her cheek. "Or you, come to think of it. Now, do you have an actual injury I can attend to? Or are you just wasting my time?"

I'm tagging anyone who wants to participate but also @reyescarlos @doublel27 @clottedcreamfudge @paper-storm because I'm a fiend for your shit 🚨🥵
