the first day of my hand drafting class in my senior year of college, after the prof taught us how to frame up on the drafting table and went over how to use the tools we'd bought, he had us all take our pencils and make a mark on the top right corner of the vellum. then he walked us through the setup steps - the border, the title block, etc.

and he told us to erase the mark.

when someone - rosie, i think - asked what the mark was for he smiled.

"if you give a novice student an expensive, blank piece of paper, they panic. they think if i start using that i will ruin it. so the first thing i want all of you to do, any time you stare at a blank piece of paper, is to ruin it a little and take the pressure off yourself. pencil erases. anxiety has to be managed."

i hated that man for a myriad of reasons, but that was some of the best advice i've ever been given.

Like I'm just saying. "I, Carrion (Icarian)" is right there.

Fascinated that the new wave of the Harvey Renaissance has come from a tiktok edit ft Hozier's "Too Sweet". I suppose it works if it's from the Farmer's perspective?

staring at the blank page before you open up the dirty window let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find reaching for something in the distance so close you can almost taste it release your inhibitions feel the rain on your skin no one else can feel it for you only you can let it in no one else no one else can speak the words on your lips drench yourself in words unspoken live your life with arms wide open today is where your book begins the rest is still unwritten

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

Thinking that fandom is some ladder where you can gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss your way to the top is not the bad bitch move you think it is.

Stepping on real people and treating them like obstacles to some sort of end goal in a fandom is fucking stupid. Who the hell do you think you are, actually?

Fandom is not a game where you can torture and treat characters any way you want to level up. Fandom spaces are filled with real people with real emotions and beautiful life stories, and just because we are inside your phone/computer doesn't mean we're lines of code like the apps you talk to us on.

Like really, what was the plan? Fandom is for enjoying things and creating and forming meaningful connections with people. It's not for gathering people like chess pieces and knocking the others off the board.

Fandom is not about being useful or popular. No one ever has the right to decide who is important or who isn't or measure people's self worth based on what they can/can't do or how many followers they have.

You have absolutely no right to steal people's peace and joy or make them feel insignificant.

Hello you beautiful bean. I've been getting updates about this on the side from a mutual friend and I cannot in any way shape or form express my complete and utter DELIGHT over this comic! The blushing! The heart-eyes! The beautiful dumbass pindrop moment in the last panel of the first page! The implied blowjob! It's all so good and I've been internally screaming for the past few days and trying to come up with the appropriate words to externally scream at you about it!! This is absolutely amazing, and I am so genuinely honored that it's my fic that you've put this amount of time and thought and talent into!

Back in winter 2022 I started working on a comic of one of my favorite nsfw oneshots, Practical Demonstration, made like five pages, and then promptly dropped it cause I was still in the midst of Art Block From Hell, among other reasons

but the fic series recently got an update and I read it on a flight last week, which has renewed the brainworms :)

The comic's FAR from finished (I've thumbnailed the entire thing and it comes out to twenty-eight pages, while I have thirteen of those pages in varying stages of completion) but I've been having a lot of fun working on it and forcing myself to try and learn new things (backgrounds/environments, in this case) in the pursuit of Harvey Smut LOL

I thought I'd post some WIP shit here, in case ADHD gets my ass and I end up dropping it again 😭 pray for me

#LOOK AT THIS LIGHTLY SPICY GOODNESS #LOOK AT IT #excellent arts #also your environments are fantastic and you should be proud! #citrus variations #for the implied beej

You come into my living room and bring me Harvey/Shane pain. What have I ever done to deserve this (besides write several thousand words of Shane pain)

I've always loved the idea that Ezra is an odd duck, even among Fringelings. The little we hear from the mercs (that we can understand) has a shared quality with Ezra's speech, but lacks his more effusive tendencies. I like to think he got it from his parents. That his father perhaps was some sort of scholar out of the Ephrate, a specialist in post-Earth anthropology and social diaspora come out to study in the field. Meeting a Fringeling woman in his travels who finds his naive enthusiasm charming enough to keep his foolish ass alive, to which he does the only sensible thing in return and falls hopelessly in love with her.

I was gonna make a horny positivity post but I'm kinda sick of tgirls having to use sex to get any respect so uh, idk, love fat tgirls. Their dimples and their cellulite and their soft tummies and arms and thighs and their tits whether big or small and their asses even if they're flat. Idk. That's your sister. That's a person. Buy em dinner, invite them to a movie, tell em you thought about them at the store.
