Hi! 🌟 Trying something new today and hope we can enjoy the character’s emotions together 🫂

#aftg art #neil josten #andrew minyard #how is all your art SO GOOD #it gives the scenes so much life and emotion

[oneiropoietria]

Another emotional drawing of our little boy with the help of @whydamnitwhy 🙏🏻🫂 As I read and drew this scene, I felt all of Neil's pain and powerlessness 🤧💔

#aftg art #neil josten #AMAZING #FAVE

[oneiropoietria]

«Another bit of unexpected honesty» 💔

«Neil tensed as Andrew's fingers wrapped around the back of his neck, but Andrew only wanted to pull Neil's head down. Neil focused on Andrew's cheekbone so as not to go cross-eyed and let Andrew study his eyes» 🧊

One of my favourite scenes 💔 Any moment Andrew touches Neil I’m just like:😱🤫😱

#aftg art #neil josten #andrew minyard #this is SO GOOD #neil's expression is PERFECT

[oneiropoietria]

I didn't understand the relationship between Neil and Allison for a long time, but one day I felt that there was a strong connection between them 🤜🏻🤛🏻

One of the most painful scenes. @whydamnitwhy thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support again! I’m not used to drawing Wymack, but I always imagined him as a father who would protect you, listen to you, and always understand you 💔

#aftg art #neil josten #andrew minyard #i refuse to use the ship tag for some stupid reason #reblogging for the scars #and because it's such a good drawing

[oneiropoietria]

More Neil cause I love drawing him. Should I be concerned that he is my comfort character? Probably.

#aftg art #kind of fascinating to think about how his appearance changed

[oneiropoietria]

why don't you lie in my arms and i give you all my love and maybe you'll calm down

#that caption though

i have a formula for dealing with irl conflict that's been pretty foolproof in keeping most one-off interactions from Escalating. roughly, the steps are:

introduce myself (if we're strangers) and give a very friendly hello

compliment the other person in some way (if appearance-related, ALWAYS on a choice they've made: i love your shoes, makeup, hairstyle, earrings, shirt, etc)

establish that i'm On Their Side, even if i'm not -- wow, what crazy times we live in! gosh, pandemic isolation has been rough on me and my roommates. my favorite childhood memories are of the fourth of july! etc

raise my concern, but in a gently self-deprecating way, as if i'm embarrassed to be inconveniencing them

provide a legitimate reason to resolve the conflict, phrasing it as though they're doing me a huge favor in the process

this works BEST if you're trying to resolve an immediate situation, such as:

they aren't wearing a mask or their mask isn't covering their nose (not as much of a concern now that i'm vaxxed, but this formula helped when i was concerned!)

they're setting off illegal explosives next to your very flammable apartment complex surrounded by very dry trees in the middle of a drought/deadly heat wave (🙄🙄🙄)

they blocked the Entire Dumpster of your Entire Apartment Complex with an old mattress the garbage men won't pick up, and now you can't throw your trash out

etc

an example of how these steps work in practice:

hi, i'm kitkat! i live right across the street

i'm loving the firework show! sorry i'm interrupting

it's great to see everyone having so much fun. those spiral rockets were my favorite growing up, i was so worried nobody would do anything fun this year and the fourth is my favorite holiday

do you guys know how much longer you'll be out here? ("we're just wrapping up") oh okay! i don't want to spoil anybody's fun, it's been forever since we could do anything fun

i just have a dog who doesn't like the noise - we gave her a sedative, but i'm trying to figure out if she needs another ("oh no! yeah we're almost done") oh thank you so much!

i take a slightly different approach when i'm trying to change people's MINDS about things rather than just their short-term behavior

but this approach works Great for short-term issues, because people feel REALLY REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE being a contentious dick to someone who is So Friendly And Nice.

there's also an element of privilege here; it's pretty easy for me to make myself approachable to most people, since i'm a short white woman-seeming person who's good at faking neurotypicality. like, i've used this method to watch/record police interactions without irritating the officers in question, which is not something everyone can safely do.

so always use your judgment when deciding which battles you want to pick -- safety is the top priority. but if you DO want to practice "Hey Stop Doing That Please" in your neighborhood or elsewhere, these guidelines work pretty well for me!

#i couldn't do this but #it is interesting

[oneiropoietria]

Neil: what’s your type?

Andrew: tall, strong, dumb, emotionally scarred, and unhealthily obsessed with exy.

Neil: wow, that’s specific. Do I know them?

Andrew: did I mention dumb?

Neil: yeah, why?

Andrew: just checking.

*later*

Neil, waking up in the middle of the night: oh my god, he likes Kevin.
