I'd like to give my two cents on the question you were asked about why your story is special/different. Your answer was wonderful, however I would like to add that what really makes your story special to me is your wonderful and immersive portrayal of New Orleans. Keep in mind that I've never been anywhere close to Louisiana so I'm not a great judge, but the way your portray the city has such a vibrance and sense of familiarity. I haven't seen such a lively and well-done setting in any other decades challenge. Have a good day!

My goodness, I don’t think it’s possible for me to convey my thanks to you, not only for your kindness, but for that specific compliment 🥺
So I have mentioned this, but I lived in New Orleans for about a decade (and grew up nearby the city). It’s very difficult for me to articulate the love of place that I have for Louisiana, but more specifically, for New Orleans. I began writing the 1920s as an homage to its history, but I think over time I put a lot more of my heart into the story than I intended to. Above all, I now realize that it’s a love letter to the city and all the wonderful things it has given me/made me feel. The fact that this comes across touches my heart more than you can know.
I will certainly admit that this does make me nervous going forward. It isn’t just you saying that, as I’ve thought it for a while, but I’m now venturing into a place in the story that I just don’t have the same connection with or knowledge of. I have tried to mend that with research; but I fear the heart behind the 1920s cannot be replicated anywhere else. I just hope that the characters stay strong and vibrant no matter where we go so that the story doesn’t lose the magic that it (and I) got from New Orleans ♥️

Sometimes u look back at old Homestuck artists’ works and get the immense desire to draw those AUs where the ancestors raise the trolls from hatching. Primo wholesome AUs…
IDs under cut!
[ID: Six doodles, drawn traditionally in black pen, showing the Vantas trolls from Homestuck in an AU as referenced in the caption, where the ancestors raise their descendants.
The first image is of the Signless, referred to as Kanaan, and Beforus Karkat, referred to as Kardin, sitting together. Kanaan is nervously holding close a little grub Kankri, while Kardin is reassuring him. Kanaan says, "I just don't know..." Which Kardin responds with, "You'll be alright, Kan. I'll be here for you." There's two notes around the doodle from the artist, the first states, "Also wanna practice with pen again..." The second is under an arrow pointing at Kanaan and Kardin, which states, "Hatch mates, raised together. Closest human proximation is siblings."
The second image is Kanaan holding grub Kankri again, this time little Kankri wrapped up in a blanket, like one might swaddle a human baby. Kanaan is looking off panel at something that’s caught his attention.
The third image is of grub Kankri, all curled up. He appears uncomfortable, trembling slightly. A note next to him says, “If you’re cold, he’s cold. Sweater.” Off panel, Kardin says, “Give him a blankie. Or something. Warmth.” Kanaan says after, “Small baby…”
The fourth image is technically two panels. The first “panel” shows Kanaan looking down at his hands, nervous expression on his face. Someone behind him has their hands gently on his shoulders, and is saying, “Be careful with him…” The sentence continues into the next panel, which shows what Kanaan was looking at, holding a very small grub Karkat in one of his hands. The other person continues, “He’s a lot smaller than Kankri was…”
The fifth image shows Kankri at a later time, about 6 years old, no longer a grub and wearing a big ol’ sweater, looking off panel at Kanaan, who’s nervously asking Kankri, “Kankri, baby, have you seen your little brother?” There appears to be something in the poofy collar portion of his sweater.
The sixth image continues from the fifth. Kankri lowers his collar, showing little grub Karkat, curled up and napping away peacefully. Off panel still, Kanaan exclaims, “Oh thank goodness…” Kankri nervously explains, “He was cold…” Kanaan responds, “Ah - thank you for watching him, baby.”
END ID.]

hello everyone! smallish update 🐸
lots of new anime have come out esp for some manga that i rlly enjoy! such as oshi no ko (which seems to be very popular rn), dead mount death play, mashle, skip to loafer, etc. i’m v excited that there’s lot of new interest in these series bc of the anime! and i hope i can draw some more fanart soon
i am absolutely watching the new dr stone season as it releases! i missed them so much and this arc is going to be so fun 😆
i just finished watching the anime high card! i actually rlly enjoyed it altho i had no idea what to expect actually 😆 i just rlly liked the ending song and then i just kind of watched the entire anime in two days without reading any sort of synopsis before hand lmao. very excited for season 2.
as for toku, other than geats and kingohger, i’m stuck halfway thru ghost and haven’t watched anything else besides 1 episode of wizard 😔
and finally, i haven’t been able to draw much! but i’m rlly trying to table and sell merch in person before this year ends. that’s seriously my goal. my friend tables for some atlanta events and i’d rlly like to join them, the timing has just been super bad.
i don’t do art full time and i got promoted at my office job… and a kpop idol i rlly love passed away very recently. so i’ve been pretty stressed with that.
however! for the next two weeks i will be in japan and korea with my friends, visiting our friend who works in japan. i’m very excited about our trip that left the group chat. and it’s another reason why i haven’t had the time and energy to draw rlly, i’ve been worried about packing and forms and tickets 😅
i’ll probably be posting trip pics on my main (@froqpi) and when i return i’ll be going to momocon and eventually get to draw and post art as i used to! 🐸💖
