I commissioned this a year ago from @arrhythmiacomic and I decided that it was more appropriate to post today - her 18th birthday - because it is when this kind of party would be happening between Anjelika and her friends!

can't believe it's been a whole year my god what is the passage of time

Thank you once again for doing this art for me! It was great to see it then and it's still amazing now!

#other people's art #my wip #WIP: Angel #Angel Anniversary 2023 #arrhythmiacomic #legitimently meant to post this last year but that was Anjelika's 17th birthday so she would have Just Met the MOH #so i waited a year instead to be more canonically appropriate XDD #I 100% imagine this party is happening at the end of the day #right after a big Official party thrown for her #but this one is special because it's a small intimate affair with just her friends #it's probably happening in one of the MOH's rooms - Karolina maybe #they planned this for weeks #making little decorations. getting little gifts. arranging for/making a cake for her #setting it up in Karolina's room and then inviting her in afterwards #plus i 100% think the fake 'princess for a day' thing was Irena's idea XD #she probably saw it in a party shop whilst she was out buying other party things and was like 👀 yes this is vital #was probably so excited to show the others when she returned from this shopping trip XD #anyway this is enough i think XDD #thank you again for the art!! #sorry for the year long delay lmaoo

Reblogging this a year later because it's her canonical 18th birthday and she has good friends now!!

Angel’s Anniversary!

So!!!

November is a pretty big month for Angel.

It’s (so far) the only project I’ve sucessfully nanowrimo’d (back in 2019 lmao) even if i didn’t finish it.

It’s my longest tenured original story dating back to 2016 - somewhere around this time of year in fact! - when I came up with the initial concept.

And it’s also my main girl Anjelika’s canonical birthday today, November 5th!

I thought I’d celebrate both the anniversary of Angel as a project, and Anjelika’s birthday together. In fact this birthday is a special one, it’s her 17th. The year she meets her Maidens of Honour!

So I’m going to spend today reblogging Angel content on this oh so special day. Feel free to send asks if you’re curious about anything at all!

●・○・●It's Arrhythmia's 8th anniversary!●・○・●

The comic returns next month on October 16th to kick off Chapter 4. If you haven't read the comic so far yet, get on that!

#woop woop!! #been waiting for this 👀 #'welcome to the jam' why do i get the feeling that jam will be what my heart/brain becomes bc of some kind of devastating plot revelation #anyway i can't wait #i am Eager to have something to look forward to on my mondays #other people's art #arrhythmiacomic #also i have had this post in my drafts since last month #and i just never reblogged it so sorry XD #but it does Not look like a mistake that felix is caught in a spider web of ribbon/the scarf thing he wears #in front of a cold snowy castle #looks like he's got a family legacy he's caught up in and is standing against #anyway - i'll let the comic speak for itself when i see it :DD

Not quite fully retail but there is a retail department in the place I work at that i think fits the bill.

We serve a lot of older/more well off clientele and whilst a good majority are nice, you do get some... strange customers.

The one that comes to mind is the gentleman that purchased two boxes of chocolates on the 23rd December, and I was creating conversation with him, and he asked why we were closing the blinds (we close at 5pm, it was like 2 minutes to five when he came in). I explained that it's closing time but we will still serve everyone still in the building etc. He then told me that it's appalling that we close so early (?!) on a weekday, what about all the normal people who wOrK until 5pm on weekdays?! The manager was stood just nearby and I said "well I don't control our opening hours, but I'll get you my manager if you want to discuss it further?"

I pass him on and Immediately walk away but like 10 seconds later I hear him raise his voice "this iS unnacceptable!!! I shall not be returning" and my manager being like "Please leave the shop now sir." It was the most bizzare complaint I've ever heard, like. You're mad we close... at 5pm? We aren't a convenience store or a supermarket. We are an artisan business. Plus it was so out of left field for me because he bought two boxes of chocolates from me, presumably for a gift, and he left minutes later absolutely Pissed.

In a more general sense, there's...

(negatives)

people who forget that please and thank you are words that exist

people who always add stuff on to their orders after you've fetched stuff (ie. you could have brought everything back at once instead of one at a time)

people who get upset that we're "always out of" certain stuff

people who try to use expired vouchers

(positives)

people who ask you what you recommend (for gifts etc) and are geniunely really nice and listen to what you suggest

regulars who come in almost every day for a takeaway drink and a chat

people who pre-emptively ask you how you are doing

people who are conscious that you are busy (re-stocking shelves, tidying the till area) and are patient with you when they need something from you (ie. "sorry I know you're busy but can you please tell me where x is?")

I need to speak to the manager

Hellooooooooooo writeblr 😘 I have a character who works as the manager of a small shop. If you’ve worked in a similar position I’d looooove to hear stories. Give me your boring day-to-day, your weird wtf, and anything in between. Basically, anything I can use so someone reading this character would think “oh yeah, that tracks.”

#writing advice #retail at my work is better than like. traditional retail but we still have some highbrow customers on their high horse #this was fun to think about! I hope it's helpful to you (and anyone else!)

#other people’s art #arrhythmiacomic #AAAAAIIIIIIRRRRR!!! #kick his ass!! #im kind of interested to know what his plan was here but i guess it was something like #'be ballsy and try and take out as many of the guild officers as he can whilst they're distracted' #which i mean #it could have worked 😌 #but yeah i stand by 'how was he not arrested before' but i mean he is a very VERY skilled mage so it makes sense that he could slip away

[kosmosian-quills]

@cirianne me honestly

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!

#positivity #writing positivity #writeblr positivity #i have a whole folder full of stuff ive commissioned and created

#other people's art #arrhythmiacomic #I MISSED AN UPDATE DRAFT 😣😣😣 I missed page 407!!! #so consider this my 'review' of both pages XD #i love this conversation between felix and the inspector #being so earnest and honest #of course Felix knows she was injured #and following up by telling her he's impressed and apologising for doubting her #well. not doubting in as many words. that he was short with her when she was coming on the mission #her trying to say its fine and him insisting it wasnt is a true testament to his character and i respect him for realising it #and now 408 #OH MY GOD COMPARING YOUNG PAGE'S WANT FOR REASSURANCE FOR HIS FIRST MISSION TO HERS AND THE FACT THAT SHE DIDNT GET IT #giving her more praise and that she just kicked as much ass as she could manage #but she is so troubled by the fact she ordered his platoon to abandon him #but honestly i think he Gets it #it's something she had to do #obviously it all worked out well #but they were in a life or death situation. she made the call and she thought it was right

Worldbuilding Question

Inspired by a recent trip and a discussion with @cirianne, I posit a question to you writeblr:

If the setting of your WIP had a museum, what would be in it?

Would it detail the local history, showing the changing landscapes? Would it showcase an individual, an event, such as the events your characters live through? Are there artefacts? Testimonials? Interactive events? Any particular highlights that leaves its visitors stunned?

To clarify, this could mean a museum about the events of your WIP many years after it happens, or it can simply be a museum that has details about the setting.

#worldbuiling #writeblr #writeblr discussion #this was a fun question tbh #i was walking around a museum in an old castle in Germany and i had the thought #what would a museum be like in Kosmos? #ngl Sara's answer for her wips had me 😌👀

[kosmosian-quills]

So here's the thing. I'm regularly on hiatus because real life sucks.

However, when I am on hiatus, I save things to my drafts all the time. This includes other people's writing (I even have a whole tag for it) and when I get around to it, I make a point of leaving comments on everything I reblog.

So whilst I'm not consistent, I do get around to it, and I always leave comments when I do.

sorry for the next controversional writeblr poll. semi-follow up to this.
