Obviously it’ll be a while until I post an actual writing update, BUT I’ve got an AU post lined up and almost ready to go, so we’ve got that at least. Maybe next Monday? Look forward to it- it’s long

*lightly bonks* rest, the writing will be here for you when you're better. It's not healthy to work through being sick

Hahahaha I appreciate the support. Unfortunately, I’ve been sick for the past eight years or so, so things are a mite more complicated because of that.

Around February my writing started slowing down, and about a month ago I hit a wall and decided I needed a break. I was calling it burnout at the time, but considering my complete exhaustion in all other areas of my life as well, there was a decent chance it was more then that.

Annoyingly though, my blood tests came back completely normal and that was the best theory I had (iron infusions is the only thing that’s ever actually helped my health in any way). In light of that, there’s not much I can do except accept this as my life for the moment.

Maybe it’ll magically get better if I waited even longer, maybe it really is just burnout- but I have no real way to know. The best I can do is keep trying and hope the past two years haven’t been just a fluke.

I promise I’m taking it slow though! I’ve been making an active effort to lay down more again (maybe the problem was that I was daring to be upright too much) and I’m only writing in small bursts rn.

Writing submas stuff has been the only success I’ve had for the past eight years, and I’m not letting go of it if I can help it.

Still, I am prone to pushing myself, so the encouragement is appreciated nonetheless. Thank you for the support!

My health is still out of sorts but I’ve started writing again. Not a lot right now, but little bits add up and are certainly much more then absolutely nothing lol. Here’s hoping I can update soon!

RAY!!!! You can’t keep spoiling me like this!!!

This is so so pretty! I love the lighting and the expressions and Ingo’s clothes-

Amazing!!

@blueisquitetired talked about the reverse faeU and i just had to draw this

#submas #submas au #submas fae au #not my art #subway boss ingo #subway boss emmet

[blueisquitetired]

if emmet in faeU could turn into goop like ingo, what color would he be? (Also- if changlings could be made with shadow, I can’t help but wonder if they could be made of light too?)

Emmet would be a very light silvery! Aaaaaaalmost white but not quite.

You’re on the right track too! Emmet would be made of moonlight- a much softer sort of light then Akari’s holy light!

I’ve actually played around with the idea of a reverse AU quite a bit and might write a fic about it after everything is said and done lol. Lemmie dig out my notes….

Key differences between changeling!Emmet and changeling!Ingo:

-Emmet carries around a lot less inherent angst. He doesn’t think he’s a good person- but he doesn’t really dwell on it. It’s just a fact of life in his eyes

- Emmet takes matching his brother verrrrrry seriously. He spent a good chunk of their early life bemoaning that he couldn’t be exactly like Ingo. Ingo eventually offered the mirroring thing as a compromise that Emmet accepted.

- Emmet swings wildly between- keeping human form up as long as humanly possible and refusing to switch back even if he’s long over extended himself (he wants to match Ingo, it’s unfair he can’t match Ingo all the time), to being in changeling form as much as he possibly can. (So he can be picked up and carried around. When he’s in moods like these Ingo will have to carry him home because he refuses to be human for longer then necessary)

- He likes being carried a lot a lot. Like, changeling!Ingo enjoys it immensely but changeling!Emmet will be a little brat about it and DEMAND to be carried around. Elesa jokes about him being lazy but it’s more about the extended contact

- Another difference is that he likes that he’s changing Ingo…. While also feeling pretty guilty for feeling that way. Ingo assures him that he is in no pain…. but sometimes Emmet worries. He’s not sure what he would do if he actually hurt Ingo.

probably hide under the bed and refuse to come out.

- Probably is a lot stronger at night and weaker during the day- but the darkness of the subway tunnels help shield him from the sun

- how him and Ingo met is also completely different but I’ll save the exact specifics for later. Just know that they get adopted much younger in this AU ;)

!!!!!! Art!!!!! So so cool! I love the galaxy one and the one with the faerie boys are soooooooo cute!

heavy spoilers for chapter 23 of Always by your side by @ingo-ingoing-ingone!! this chapter was so fantastic i. didnt have words for it. ended up doing 6 (nearly 7) drawings for it instead. i think this is my record- it took me roughly 7 hours. a fair warning! this is both art and a comment to the fic in one. so its rather long!

ok i had an Unreasonable amount of fun doing the background on this one. ended up looking up a lot of the celestial bodies mentioned in the fic, man are they cool! it was implied that Emmet didn't really have a body so! stars instead. the colors were fun- i dont often let myself just. color like this haha! this one was... reall amazing. a fantastic opener! i immediately latched onto the visuals and painted a picture in my mind. it was just so... astronomical?

i actually struggled with how i was going to position these two for a while. at first it was just them coloring in a clearing- then i made them watching pokemon, and then. this! idk- there just something sweet in how Ingo turns around to look at Emmet and... lighting was funky for this one- how a forest shades the things beneath it will always hold a special place in my heart. these two interacting is always so wonderful to read. the gentle ribbing and teasing and... just them chilling and talking was so nice. the fact that it was dragons was even better! dragons are the best. i felt a very sweet and gentle moment needed an equally sweet and gentle drawing. if i could, i might have gone for line less on Ingo and Emmet here as well.

right- this was the last one i did. i think its the only one that i didn't get specifically from what was written. i just... wanted to give Emmet cuddles alright? /lh i had another sketch exploring exactly what Emmet might look, but i think ill revisit that when i... haven't been drawing for 7 hours straight hgfireohgope. the one in this is more simplified. the horror of having your face show one emotion- not even the one your most known for... your voice is toneless and the only was you can show even a fraction of what you feel is by copying what you (supposedly) dead brother used to do. there is a quiet horror in that- and yet Emmet still goes on. he cant feel texture and yet... he deserves many nice things.

this one!!! was originally going to be an Entire piece with a more "realistic" drawing of Ingo sitting behind a fire just like this. when i sketched this out (in the middle of reading it) that was the plan. Jedi saved me by making Emmet draw it like this. you saved me probably an hour ghirepoghpeirh. i... still might draw it how i wanted at some point. also the lighting was added last minute! i thought it would look... more messy with the light of the fire shining on it. i think it looks nice. the scene was sweet and, like Emmet mentioned he did, i put emphasis (or uh... thicker more defined lines) around peoples faces to better define their happiness. it made me happy to read them being happy and then draw them being happy <3

them!!!!!! i do not think it is a secret at All how much i love this au. i was More than happy to draw them again. and!!! being happy!!! perfect. i remembered this was a dream, and decided to blur the background quite a bit of this one- lopsided like its not really being thought about. adored this one. them!! teasing each other!! just!! going through a day!! perfect. amazing. it was really fun the way the small details of their routine was captured. from Ingo just. turning to goop so he doesn't have to pick up his clothes to Emmet just. accepting everything that happened from the mental connection to the shared feelings.

DRAMATIC FORESHORTENING!!!! i almost wanted to play it up More but then i might lose Ingo's expression. the background for this was fun to do- emphasis! strong colors!! looks like something broke. like something was torn away. this whole bit is just. exactly what Emmet fears and its just. ough. Ingo would never do this- we know this, Emmet knows this two- he knows how ridiculous Ingo was being here. and then the climax with Emmet just... falling off... amazing. Ingo's horrified expression is what caught my attention here, though i had a few more ideas depicting Ingo leaning over Emmet. i figured a dramatic drawing here would fit.

so! there ya go. i had. so much fun doing this and! thank you so much for writing this and sharing with us Jedi. if you keep this up, ill just have to keep making more drawings!! i don't think words are enough- not even sure if these can properly express how i felt reading it all (i actual had to get up and pace around bc i got so excited) but! i think that your art inspired my own art is a very beautiful thing.

lets all keep making art with one another forever.

[blueisquitetired]

Oh oops, forgot to give y’all advance warning.

Burnout has finally hit.

I tried to delay it as much as possible (as I reeeeeeeally wanted to finish Silver Bloodstains before then) but alas, one cannot put off the inevitable forever. I have to take a break lol

I’m not leaving the submas fandom of course! I’ll still be commenting on fics and posting here occasionally, but my writing needs to go on a bit of a pause for two months or so. I’ll try to finish Silver Bloodstains during that time (I’m soooooooo close) but my update schedule will be completely irrelevant until my break is over.

So yeah, gotta recharge my writing juice lol. Feel free to send any asks about my stories or AUs! I’m still here and happy to engage! (I don’t get them much so they’re always a joy to respond to lol)

Sorry about the delay!

No chapter this Monday unfortunately. I am so so close to finishing Silver Bloodstains…. But my body hasn’t gotten the memo and has shut down all writing related functionality. I’ll do my best to power through and finish BEFORE I take my burnout break, but it might be a bit slow. Sorry about that!
