cherry flavoured

07—WORD ON THE STREET

SYNOPSIS | y/n, the campuses notorious heartbreaker, had never been one to settle down, running from the word commitment since the concept had first been introduced to her, but one smile and a little cherry coke seems to do just the trick when she runs into captain of the dance team, park jisung

PAIRING | dancer!jisung x fem!reader

you're on your way to the library to grab a seat while you wait for jisung when you walk past the dance studio, your favourite song blaring from the speakers, a tall figure moving to the beat with a large zip up black hoodie thrown over his body— you haven't seen much of him but you'd recognise him anywhere, jisung repeating the same series of moves over and over again, each time with increased fluidity

he's in a trance, too focused on critiquing himself to notice your presence on the other side of the glass door, which is why he doesn't seem to hear the loud knock you give before entering

his moves seem to falter when he notices your cherry red hair in the mirror and the male finds himself biting at his cheeks to suppress the smile threatening to spread across his lips

"I hope you don't mind me coming here, I tried to knock but I don't think you heard me" you offer him a smile, still not realising just how difficult you'd find it to talk to him in person, beautiful brown eyes staring down at you, without any alcohol in your system

"not at all, I was just finishing up anyways" his voice reverberates through the studio, you swear you can feel it in your bones, but you can tell jisung was still working on his routine

"go ahead and do your thing, I think it'd actually help me get an idea of my drawing style if I saw you dance, if you don't mind that is"

you stop yourself from rambling some sort of artistic jargon his way, looking up at him as you take a few steps closer with those eager eyes again, the ones jisung can't seem to say no to

"it's okay if you're not comfortable, I can go until you're done" you mistake his silence as discomfort but the blue haired dancer is quick to stop you

"no, I'm just not used to it is all"

"don't you preform though" you ask, a genuine tone creeping through your voice and jisung can't help but notice the way you show so much interest in what he has to say

"sorta, when I'm practising it's not really the same, it's part of the process instead of the final product" you nod understandingly, "I've never had anyone see that before"

"I'd love to see it, if you'd let me" you take a seat, watching as he loses himself in the music again, body swaying in ways you didn't even know were possible, his cheeks puffing every time he made a mistake, some you didn't even take notice of and all you could see was sheer passion radiating through his every movement

your hands seen to start to itch, and you can't help yourself from reaching for your sketchbook, soft strokes of your pencil laid onto the paper as your eyes flicker between jisung and the white of the page.

it doesn't take long for a rough sketch to form, small details creeping their way into the paper as you watch him move, concentrated on doing his best

it's when he spins that you can't keep your awe contained, a soft gasp escaping your lips as he twirls so effortlessly, you find yourself flipping the page, taking on a more challenging sketch of what you just saw, eyes glued to the page with the image of his grace clear in your mind

this time it's you who doesn't realise the pair of eyes on you, jisung's movements halted as he watches you rush to swipe different toned pencils across the page, afraid that the mental image would be cleared from your brain before you could get it down

its only when he takes a seat beside you, sipping on an open bottle of water with his messy hair falling over his eyes that you realise he'd stopped dancing

"you're good, like really good" you say, hoping your words don't betray you like they usually did when talking to him, coming out in a completely different order than you'd hope, a problem you'd never known until you ran into jisung

"as in you're crazy good, professional level good" you specify again and jisung let's his head drop, a small smile coming over his features, muttering out a small thank you

his eyes seem to land on the book in your lap next, widening at the precision of the two sketches you'd perfected in a matter of minutes

he wants to say something, anything to let you know just how talented he thinks you are, but he can't find the words to express what he thinks, the now decreased proximity between the two of you causing him to freeze entirely

after that, you only work on a few more sketches, from pre recorded dance practises that jisung had loaded up on his laptop, pointing out signature moves he wanted to incorporate into his project, but each time he did you found yourself lighting up at the passionate glint in his eye

"when did you start dancing"

jisung doesn't expect the question, halfway through one of the dance practise videos, pressing the pause button on his laptop

"1st grade I think" if he's honest jisung doesn't remember a time where he wasn't a dancer, it had been that long, "my teacher suggested it as a way to break out of my shell and it just became my thing"

you nod, it was something anyone with any sort of passion could resonate with, the same way you did with basketball— the start of finding your passions was special, you always thought it was the best way to get to know someone

"what about you, when did you start playing basketball?"

"I think I was about 5, I had this silly little crush on one of my brothers friends, he was on the school basketball team and so I practically begged my parents to let me join a basketball club," you smile fondly at the memory, bringing your knees forwards into your chest as you shuffle to face jisung, "I guess it grew from there"

jisung nods, tired eyes staring blankly your way, making the best attempt to actually process your words, although not too successfully

"I'm starving, lets grab dinner?" you rise to your feet, and jisung follows, the buzzing of the ac fading as you exit the dance studio

July recs

It might be the very last day of the month, but that means I'm not late! Five Sandman recs under the cut, and one each for Batman, Murderbot, and Biggles.

SANDMAN

What Manner Of Creature by @ro-moray (Dream/Hob)

Hob's had a number of theories about his strange friend over the years. They are all, of course, completely incorrect.

Great through-the-years look at Hob and Dream, with humor and understanding.

to dream you was remembering by @cuubism (Dream/Hob)

Hob understands now both why Dream created this nightmare, as well as why doing so was an unconscious rather than conscious act, and the thought hurts more than the nightmare itself. After all, Hob has had four hundred years to grapple with his own loss. He's not sure that, even after so much time, Dream has grappled with his.

Short scene with Hob and Dream and a baby nightmare, but it packs a hell of an emotional punch.

The Dread and Fear of Kings by @maybemalapert (gen)

"I'm afraid I'm not much into charcoal sketches," Hob said, taking in the crude rendition of himself and his Stranger that he'd last seen in the hands of Johanna Constantine. "Now, oil paintings on the other hand--" "Mr. Gadlen," the man interrupted. "I have gone to great lengths to find you and to confirm that it was indeed you who met with Dream of the Endless in 1889 and every century prior. Let me assure you, I do not make a habit of kidnapping people on a whim."

Deliciously whumpy fishbowl rescue with Burgess being a real bastard (what else). Happy ending, but mind the tags.

Yours for the Taking by @signiorbenedickofpadua (Calliope/Dream/Hob)

When Hob spots a sad woman in white through a window of a famous author's house, he gets a bad feeling. Further investigation reveals that she's in need of rescue, but what Hob isn't prepared for is the fact that the woman he sets out to save turns out to be a literal Greek goddess, the ex-wife of the Stranger he keeps waiting for, and a rather lovely person to boot.

SUCH a good and satisfying read, with a skillful build to the three-way romance.

more sky comes and more days by Chrome/@catalists (Calliope/Dream/Hob)

In the aftermath of her imprisonment, Calliope is determined to learn to trust humans again, so she finds a roommate and settles in the mortal world. Meanwhile, her former husband has been on another quest that ended in grief, and he seeks her out for solace. What could possibly go wrong? or, “Hey, Zed,” Hob answered. “Something the matter?” “Yes,” she said. “Calliope’s ex showed up and he’s fucking terrifying.”

Really enjoyed this way of them all colliding - funny and bittersweet at turns - and the resolution.

MISC

Birdwatch11 by @smilebackwards (Batman, gen)

Tim hadn’t actually meant to start a popular Batwatch blog. He hadn’t meant to start a blog at all honestly but by the time he turned eleven he’d accumulated hundreds of pictures of Batman and Robin on his Nikon DSLR and it had just seemed inefficient to go through the trouble of printing them and storing them in a box under his bed when BlogSphere had a perfectly adequate platform.

Short, funny, sweet story about someone trying to claim credit for Tim's pre-Robin photo habit, and his A+++ response.

in recognition by isilee (Murderbot, gen)

Volescu's first communication from SecUnit, once it had pieced together its brain again and settled into Preservation a little more, appeared in his feed inbox right as he took a sip of his morning coffee.

*dies laughing* In which Murderbot recognizes Volescu for having the sense to retire. Cute look at the friendship of the whole survey group.

Biggles in Sarawak by @philomytha (Biggles/von Stalhein)

Biggles is asked to help the CIA transport a Soviet spy they've captured in a remote jungle location. The trouble is, the spy is Erich von Stalhein. And that's only the first problem.

Excellent adventure jam-packed with tropes from hurt/comfort to teaming-up-with-your-nemesis to sex pollen (with said nemesis, of course).

Hey Neyla! I hope it’s ok that I ask but is there a brush setting you prefer on procreate? I’ve been inspired by your art for eons but I can’t comprehend photoshop. You can totally disregard this if you don’t use procreate though!

Hello! I don't know how long this message's been sitting in my inbox because i didnt check in for a while 🥺 I hope you get to see this either way!

I don't use procreate unfortunately, but I can explain the settings I use for my brushes on CSP in general, and if it works like any other art software then you should have similar settings on procreate

for sketches/linework, I will very often use an opaque & slightly textured round brush. the most important for me is for the brush to have that fuzzy sort of texture that gives the impression of using a pen/marker on paper.

note that i am actually terrible when it comes to line weight, it's definitely not something i work on a lot other than in backgrounds, so I don't actually bother too much with pen pressure settings.

the only rule I abide to is to always set the minimum value above 0 (anywhere between 20-30 is what I use). this is because when I started drawing, I used to be very heavy-handed and would wear out my pens too quickly-- so setting a minimum can help you become more aware of how hard you're pressing on your pen and make gentler strokes.

another fun little setting i use is opacity: like I said, I use opaque brushes for lines, but I like to reduce a tiny bit of opacity when brushing very lightly to give that impression of pen on paper.

There's a couple more brushes I use for coloring or rendering; the major sticking point being that I don't use pen pressure to control brush size that much. If I want to make thinner/smaller strokes, I'll simply reduce the brush size because it's easier for me to control!

(also, opacity is something I'll use a lot more when I'm working on colors)

just know that this is my way of handling it, and it may not suit your style. pen pressure may be another artist's best friend, so please make sure you try out what works best for you :)

finally, some art softwares come with stabilization. I don't use it personally, unless i'm actually trying to do really smooth curves (which is practically never). stabilization can also make CSP lag a lot with higher values and large brushes. the use of stabilization doesn't make you a bad artist or a lazy one, and not using it can make your lines look a tiny bit wobbly if you're not used to doing quick strokes. use stabilization at your own leisure!

on a different note, i know this wasn't part of the question but I'm bringing this up since it's something I tend to hear from people who say they were inspired by my art (thank you by the way🥺💕!!) : don't be misled by artstyles that "make it look easy"! my sketches may look very simple and natural because i'm more adept at bringing out the essential and discarding details in a design. this is not necessarily what you want for your art style; maybe you like drawing details a lot, maybe you prefer the lazy way out going straight to the point. neither are good or bad, only what you like to do matters.

also, if you're frustrated by your work, don't be afraid to draw over it as many times as you want, adjusting things with the lasso tool or deform if something feels off then drawing over again. sometimes you'll be satisfied with your first take, and sometimes you'll need 3 bases before its acceptable (examples below)-- it all depends on your mood, energy, motivation, desired outcome, format, or even just randomness

oh and, sometimes the best way to enjoy drawing..is to find something to obsessively draw (,:

take care!

Intuitive Reading: What do you need to focus on today to make your upcoming days better?

[This is my first ever Intuitive Reading. I'm excited and nervous. I hope you'd resonate with my message and if you don't, it's alright, perhaps there's another message coming for you.

I'm not a professional and this is strictly for entertainment purposes, please don't use it as an alternative to any kind of professional advice. If you're actually going through something, it would be better to contact a professional.]

Pile 1 Pile 2

Pile 3 Pile 4

Pile 1

I see hope infiltering in your upcoming days through your windows, so make sure to open the curtains. You seem to be naturally messy or hyperactive, specially in your mind. You're in a mess right now. And you're freaking out, but darling, take a deep breath that it reaches your soul, your mind and soothes it, calms it down. You won't feel completely alright after it, but atleast you'll be able to focus on your surroundings and look at them, observe your room, your home, your mind. It's not messed up, its not so messed up that you won't be able to do anything about it. You can clean up the things that you don't need anymore, rearrange things you think aren't in thier place, decorate your room, make it cozy for yourself. I'm not asking you to literally clean up your room or home, but you can do that too, I wanna tell you that when we spill some water or milk on the floor, specially when we're already overwhelmed, we end up thinking that this might be the most dreadful task ever but think about it, in a little while, when your mind gets clearer, it doesn't seem that big of a deal. Though now, I'm really getting vibes that you should probably clean or rearrange your place or something related to your surroundings. All the best to you. ❤️ Take care. ✨

Pile 2

Are you feeling a little lazy? Are you holding in your emotions? I feel like you need rain, I feel like you need to be near water, feel water, go take a relaxing bath or a shower. A cold shower helps your brain release dopamine. So that could be a solution to feeling lazy. Or I think you probably need to relax, you need to let go of your stress or the emotions you're holding in. Don't just sit and scroll through your phone, if its very difficult for you, start with a smaller thing. Try getting up from bed, trying making something for yourself to eat and if that's difficult, then order something for yourself. Start with the smallest thing that you can do which can bring you out of your comfort zone. Appreciate it. Celebrate it. I think this is moment for you to start loving little things in your life. Start romantizing your life, as in, love every hour, or atleast try to not let it make you hate itself. Look out of your window, feel the sun, listen to people, observe them, you don't have to interact with them because I feel like perhaps you're afraid of being judged. But try to let go. Meditate if that's what would make you feel good. Also, rain, I keep feeling rain. I think you need to feel relaxing drizzle on your skin. Or more like, you need to go and experience what makes you feel relaxed. Don't worry, it'll be okay, your worries will fade away. All the best, take care. ❤️

Pile 3

I feel like you're in a moment in your life which you might describe as 'okay'. Not too good, not too bad. Do you feel something missing? Perhaps you need some color in your life. I can feel you standing in the open field, under the clear sky, fresh wind. But you're a little stressed aren't you? Nothing too big, but it doesn't leave your mind. Even if your standing in an open field you aren't able to feel the freedom. What can you do so that you're able to feel the freshness and the positivity your present has for you? Take a break, take a nap or do something that would make you forget what you were thinking or doing before. Do you draw? Or paint? Or did you ever do that? Try it again. Or perhaps sketching. Something related to music, listen to music. Go our for a morning walk, I feel like a morning walk would be the best for you instead of other times of a day. Because you really need to appreciate the freshness and the opportunity your present environment wants to share with you. I think you're someone who might need to let loose and eat something sweet, a cake or something? This is not a medical advice, so please be careful of your medical conditions. Nevertheless, whatever you're worrying about would probably fly away in a day or two, you'll feel relaxed. Alright then, take care. ❤️ By the way, do you have capricorn placement? Or significant capricorn energy in transits?

Pile 4

I think you guys are going genuinely lazy at the moment. And honestly its not a bad thing, it's good to relax but i think you should get back to work even if the holidays aren't over yet. The picture in pile 4 reminds me of a lazy afternoon and how I used to have existential anxiety at the mid of afternoon and there wasn't usually much to worry about, but I feel that you might get a little anxious when the evening comes and you might actually have to start your work in the evening but I think you should prepare for it. Prepare for your evening. Evenings, when it might get a little stressful, a little chaotic, though nothing too big or scary but I it'll help you to prepare in advance for whatever you might be doing next. Some of you, if your were attracted to pile 3, check it out. Alright then, take care. ❤️

Thank You So much. Your feedback is appreciated. ❤️

Hello! Do you have any advice with painting? Every time I start I end up just doing lineart with colours underneath, and when I do kindles art it looks kind of like plastic. Am I supposed to merge the two layers and then start shading? What would you recommend?

Hey anon!! I actually do have some advice for that!! I'll shove it under a cut because it got way longer than I thought it would, sorry for the infodump everyone _(:3 」∠)_

quick tl;dr: painting process should consider both personal taste & the desired aesthetic of a painting, & to avoid plastic-y colours, make sure your hues vary within your values (and layer modes are ur friend) ♥

there's a million ways to start paintings & its all down to personal preference -- the end goal for the illustration can often influence the approach you take; a crisp digital painting might call for meticulous layering & sharp edged flats, but if you want something to look like an oil painting, you should try and mimic that process as close as you can! here's some examples:

this is the sketch for my FYR zine piece from last year; i intentionally approached it in a way that looks like traditional underpaintings so that when I worked directly on top, those orange tones would peek through like this:

after doing that undersketch, i manually painted everything -- no fancy layer modes, just me, one layer, and screaming ಥ_ಥ it was hard but it worked for the vibe i wanted!!

now v.s something like this:

simple shapes, roughly blocked in shading that just gets merged and painted over, as well as lots of layer modes on top for those colour changes! this is by far the easier one & the one i'd probably recommend, solely because it lets you keep more control. i go more in depth here on that -- but to quickly answer, i personally block everything (including shading) in before I merge & render!

for the other thing you mentioned, a lot of the times that 'plastic' feeling can come from either a lack of transitional shades or only using white/black for your value tones. this tweet thread (direct image links 1, 2 & 3) by frozensoba demonstrates it incredibly well -- by adding certain colour shifts in your values, it can create extra depth which is what makes stuff look more alive!! don't be afraid to really push it and get wacky

an easy way to add it while you're learning is using gradient maps to add richness in your midtones. It's not perfect since different surfaces & materials diffuse light differently, but adding one at the end of a drawing can help tie everything together. If you can do both at once though it always looks best; here's some very quick 2 minute orbs as an example:

ok I'm almost done (and im so sorry for how long this got... special interest moment TM) -- one last thing is to try varying your brush strokes & adding textures if you want. using only an airbrush or heavily relying on blurring brushes can make things look plastic too; sometimes you want that, but for the times you don't, adding some texture & leaving brush marks in can do a lot!!

lastly, since this is just me rambling, here are some artists that are incredibly talented & i highly recommend looking at for their advice & processes because it will be much more coherent than this:

Marco Bucci -- amazing educational content. if you check out any of these artists, he's the one to look at first imo. his 10 minutes to better painting series is a great place to start

Sinix Design has some amazing tutorials on anatomy & the mechanics of painting! This video & the intermediate part 2 are super

Dao Trong Le -- a veritable goldmine of speedpaints

Bo Chen & any of the riot splash artists. If that's the vibe you're after, you can't go wrong with the LoL splashes as reference

i hope that helps!!!

#tutorial #any time i have the opportunity to barf out art talk i will do it #tysm for the question too ♥#not art #asks

Romance Club news recap...

Song of the Crimson Nile

Agnia

I really like these two pieces of art with Agnia and in general, I’m glad that we’ve finally passed the stage of the plot where she’s just a “trader”, because her character and potential can only be fully expressed when she’s in her real role - a foreign killer, a cat walking on her own.

I wanted to show this moment in a skirmish with Amen in the hunters’ house, where she not only isn't afraid of him, but also acts as an equal, says what she'd like to do and where, in her opinion, he was mistaken. Despite the fact that she is currently collaborating with the hunters, she is not part of them or their subordinate, and therefore is not obliged to obey anyone. This is its advantage, one might say.

Well, since it’s going, according to the classics, I’ll attach one of its first sketches... I don’t remember what and why is indicated there in brackets, it will remain a mystery (other sketches also have this, and I also don’t remember why)

✨ Source: A. Remy telegram.

✨Art : Jenny Skog & seumpgerla

Titian

Fan fact about Titian: initially, when I introduced him into the story, I thought that he would hit on Eva (just like that, without developing into anything and a branch), after all, he clearly liked her in the temple corridor.

But then I realized that he was too good for that, because not everyone would like that, and I didn’t want to turn the players’ anger on Titian. I already saw how happy he is in theory with Herse, and therefore I saved his passion for her as a result, he actually turned out to be one of the main shippers among the characters of the country hahaha.

Art credit: t.melkkennani_art

In any case, he and Eva have mutual human sympathy for each other, I decided to turn it into good friendship :)

My sister swears every time and suffers that there is no branch with him, 0% condemnation, I myself would like to, but this is unnecessary...

W: Time Catcher

Nova

📣 Warning, spoilers for W: Time Catcher ⚠️

My unreliable narrator, spy, treacherous traitor, lost girl - Nova.

This move within the framework of a visual novel seemed like a big risk. I had no idea how I would hide the real past and the motivations of the main character, whom the readers play as. I thought for a long time... and decided that since I killed the favorites in Theodora, why not have some fun here.

It's great that our attentive fandom smelled something amiss and followed the trail of clues and hints that appeared already from the first chapter. It was very interesting to read your theories, rubbing my hands together in anticipation of discovery. And it is no less interesting to see now such different opinions about Nova - someone instantly hated her, someone reacted with sympathy; some want to quickly defect to the Burning Union, others dream of completing the mission on the side of the cardinal...

I can't spoil it, but I will say one thing: your choices will, of course, affect the ending, so be careful ;)

Hell and High Water

📣Message from Yim author of the short story Hell and High Water.

⚠️ Hell and High Water is going on hiatus.

Hello everyone,

This is a difficult announcement for me to make. Hell and High Water will be going on hiatus. I hope that it will be a short one, and I also acknowledge that the in-story timing is absolutely awful. I'm very sorry to be pausing the story at this particular moment.

As for the reasons, the short answer is that it's necessary for my own mental health and well-being. I took a look, and since I started working on HHW, I've been involved in 18 other RC stories, whether that meant helping with preproduction, providing feedback on chapters, or performing proofreading passes. At the moment, I'm working on 9, and that's in addition to responsibilities and contributions that go beyond individual stories.

The fact that I had too much on my plate was an issue that had been identified as a concern last year, and I was already working with management to fix it. I'd hoped that the transition would be invisible to all of you, but here I am making this announcement. Simply put, it was a very challenging winter, and something had to give. CW Pet Death: I've talked about Ruvi, the best little fish in the world, in previous posts, so I'm including an update about him here. He was my constant companion through a lot of difficult times, and he sadly passed away in September after a long struggle with tumors. Losing him, along with an unplanned move and other stressors have made the last several months particularly difficult.

The bad news is that HHW is going on hiatus. The good news is that this hiatus is part of fixing a workload issue that will allow me, in time, to have a better work-life balance and give HHW the attention it deserves. I appreciate your understanding and patience, and I can also relate if you're frustrated or upset - it's an unfortunate situation. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I'm looking forward to getting back to writing HHW from a better place in the near future. Please take care of yourselves out there.

…how does one learn to draw thicc bodies? I have a tummy myself and your characters get me wanting to draw but I’m kinda stuck rn with the “how’s” of it all. Any advice?

here's the some advices! - plan out the pose you'll draw/where each aspect of the character will be before you even sketch! (example: where their limbs and parts are positioned to indicate angle, gravity, etc) dont be afraid to be loose with it; have a separate layer just to plan out before you go! a pre-sketch if you will. a lot of artists comit to a pose they dont notice is wrong too soon, and regret 3/4s into the art theyre doin, it happens. - use a LOT of reference. and i don't mean just real people and real studies, i mean artists you like! like scour artists blogs for really interesting potential bodytypes, styles, poses, all kinds of shapes and sizes; examine the small details of what makes each individual style work! if you can apply the strongest parts of multiple artstyles into your own, you'll be pretty damn good! it's all about having an analytical eye to the references you use. (hell, copy my style if you think it'll help lol) - draw extremely frequently! and i mean if you get to at least sketch/study drawings a lil bit every day, your growth will be exponential! i first gained my tablet 3 years ago. you wouldnt BELIEVE how much my art has grown since, like goddamn i drew like ass; but i drew extremely frequently! (i'm always trying to draw once a day! unless divine intervention ensues lmao) - don't be afraid to get it wrong, lower your own standards! theres a big chance it'll take a bit before you draw something you feel is worth it, but its important to remember you will always be bad at something before you're good at it. i look at my old artworks with embarassment, sure, but they're also a steping stone! i'm proud of where i got. - when it comes to anatomy, this is something that i just can't explain properly on text (stop by my streams sometime and ask me again lol) but pay attention to the sizes of the heads of the characters, their limbs, their hands, think about what the size of everything means to their actual proportions, how believable they are. (an example: a tall character will have a large body but a belivably small head, its a slight adjustment, but when you see it well, you'll notice it always when it comes to height.)

#ask #man i wish people would ask these questions on stream #its easier to answer there!#and i can show examples too!#i'd love to that tbh

how did you do the wooma art study? whats ur sketch process? im trying to learn how to do art studies next year and urs was rlly rlly rlly good so i wanna know ur process...

*slams through* DID SOMEONE SAY WOOMA ART?!

Ok ok tho like I literally haven't been near the front for like a month or so cause our systems been working on other things and me and the trauma parts related to our trauma tend to 'pause' when were not being actively set off or when we don't have mental capacity to deal with our Stuff but I like popped up like an excited little mole rat cause y e s (and this is not a problem or me being mad, very thankful if anything cause this shit is one of my few dopamine topics and i usually only front for negative shit so WIN)

But thank you on the compliment ^^ I'm the Wooma kiddo in the system cause Wooma's art gives me dopamine and comfort and I just really like it so it means a lot that you liked it.

Our system parts that do art actually have very different processes, but the only parts that do proper studies are Riku and I and even in that we have different approaches so they'll probably reblog and add on their process as well BUT AS FOR ME

A lot of art studies (the Wooma one included) starts with a lot of just looking at the art and multiple examples of it to find some tendencies and similarities. You can do this physically by like drawing notes over some of the art that they've done or just mentally take notes as you look through it. A really good thing Riku and I would talk about when they were helping me figure it out when I doubted art as a hobby was that its really important while doing this to make take note on the things you ESPECIALLY like and find really cool about it because those notes should be mentally starred as inspiration for how you might like to modify your own personal art style

But like a good place to start is to google the style you like or look through their media / portfolio and just spend a good time browsing it and interacting with the source art itself and try to pick apart the question of "How do they do this" which we tend to look at line thickness / quality / brush type, proportions, major shapes and how they represent things (eyes, noses, facial expressions and the individual ratios of them), etc.

I usually don't actually draw over / draw notes directly over since I just like to browse and take mental notes and reference as I go but for the point of this ask Ill do a bit of an example pulled from Wooma's Instagram (I got lazy since I don't usually actually physically do much of this type of studying and got bored)

So

Collect a number of references, I just pulled from instagram thumbnails; then pull out thing that seem unique / stand out to the style to look more closely at

2) Lower the opacity and try to draw over the general base structural shapes and take notes on how things work together and the "steps" done to draw the basic structures

3) Doing the above gives you a general idea on the "rules" that are principle to under lying a style. Cool thing is to then make the layer below invisible so all you have are your notes and you have some general good guide lines to reference for later

Then after you did that you can try to do an emulation / try to do and study a specific one you like so like I did a few but one I think I still remember the specific image I studied from was this one [link]

Which became this one

And from here you just kinda plug the art that you are directly trying to emulate and breakdown free hand to the side / corner to regularly look at and reference how the original artist handled doing one thing and decide how you want to apply that to your own

Follow the notes and "rules" you found below and do it as well

Another note I like to add though is that you should never be afraid to go "I like that but I prefer to do it this way / apply my usual style" cause Wooma tends to use a more pencily thin solid / cleaner line but I just like the brush I used, I like the sketchy messiness and I also like coloring in the way i did which is not Wooma style, but just how I like to do things. The eyes are inspired and studied from wooma particular in size and general shape, but I prefered the more fluid and less clearly parallelogram shape and did that as well + my way of handling hair is not studied off of Wooma but rather inspired by the over exaggerated angular style / expressiveness of Wooma's overall art

They actually tend to do hair a lot more in a - for lack of better words - normal anime style but I was like noooo i like the angularness and "dramatized stylized" proportions and shapes so I was like ok im applying that to the hair even if you dont

Like I really like Wooma's art cause of how expressive it is due to how it breaks a lot of typical proportion rules and uses very sharp and dramatic shapes as a foundation sooo

Oh and regarding sketching, I don't sketch I just immediately draw and start with the foundation shapes and just add it directly over. I might erase a few lines that go over but I dont really have a sketching layer. Sketching would be a thing Riku or rather XIV would probably know how to explain better cause I just don't.

But ANYwAyS we have a movie to watch with fam and all soooooooo Ill have to give up the front but THANK you for the prompt to GO OFF cause it was nice to be back after a month or so to do something so fun and just info dump and sdlafkjlda

Love you anon. Riku will probably add their version of this when they get the down time and energy (if they get the downtime and energy, a lot of what I put here was partially advice they gave me)

Hope this was helpful!

I absolutely adore your bowuigi comic. I just wonder... How do you keep up with it all? How do you keep creating? Personally, I've struggled with posting new chapters for my fanfics because of a mixture of creative burnout and anxiety. Whenever I start writing a new chapter for a fic, I'm filled with dread. I'm afraid of disappointing my fans and getting destructive criticism from my critics. I haven't had the courage to post anything for months now. Do you have any advice?

Thanks for the ask! And honestly the comic has had its ups and downs for me. People who've been reading the comic for a while now will know that I took a 5-6 month hiatus from the comic during the early chapters. With the project as big as it is it just felt insurmountable to continue with.

I won't lie, that first post after a long hiatus is VERY overwhelming and can feel insurmountable. I don't really have any strategies to make that process easier, but I will say the relief you will feel after starting it back up again will be great.

Take it in bite-sized chunks and keep moving the goalpost back until the project feels doable. If completing 1 chapter feels like too much, just complete half a chapter. If not, just 1 page. If not, just sketch out your ideas for the chapter, or write them out in bullet points. Any amount of work you do towards completing the task is another step towards achieving it.

What's worked the best for me is setting a specific deadline (the first of every month) for me to follow and I treat it no differently than school projects. I work on it when I can, I keep the deadline in mind, and I take frequent breaks from it. Most, if not all of every chapter usually doesn't begin production until half-way through the month (even now I haven't started on the next chapter and ngl it's kinda stressing me out cause it's a doozy)

As well, i find it's easier to finish the project if I don't think of it as another small piece of a giant puzzle. Instead, i imagine the project is already done, I just have to tie up this one loose end in this chapter. And I think that for every chapter. For every page even. That makes it easier for me to handle.

As for destructive criticism? I'm not much help. Honestly that's something i'm working on, as my first instinct to receiving that on my work is to get very emotional (I was VERY upset when I found out you can't delete comments on tapas). Hell, i get emotional when I just go into the bowuigi tag and see someone complaining about an aspect of bowuigi that I have in my story, I always take it as an attack when it really isn't. So as someone who struggles with criticism, i'll just say do your best to take your mind off of it. Do something that you know lifts your spirits and then come back to the comment. Or don't! You can just delete it and be on your merry way if you want to.

That's all the advice I can give. If it's any solace, just know all creators out there are in it with you and have experienced exactly what you're experiencing right now. You're not alone :)

Hey Moss I'm a really big fan of yours and I had a question! How do you keep yourself motivated to finish PMVs/AMVs/MAP parts/ etc.? I try to go through with an idea but I seem to get bored of it and stop within the first few scenes and I forget about it. Which is odd because I've been practicing on drawing pictures and I can go on for 7 hours straight doing it! But for animations it's like it drains me out. Also since it's summer I really want to get some projects through before school starts again because I'm not going to have the time or energy with the classes I've been assigned next year (Junior year is sooo great :D /s). But anyways I was just wondering how to have and keep motivation for animations. Thanks Moss!!!

agh im afraid im dont have v helpful advice for this cause i'm just the kind of person that likes to. Do things to completion? I prefer for things to be finished rather than perfect ^^ which is a tricky thing to train yourself to do if you're a perfectionist (and im just lucky that i'm don't feel too bothered when my projects don't turn out exactly how i imagined! and that i do feel a lil bothered if my projects aren't completed lol and thats an opposite thing im tryin to learn to be okay with)

With animation specifically for me I find actually watching through what I got can motivate me to keep working on it ! Whether its cause it looks rlly good and i get excited to see it all done, Or if its because I noticed something I need to fix and it annoys me into wanting to work on it to fix it asap lol

Sometimes it also helps me to just push through it and putting on a fun podcast/video in the background helps the time go faster..

It rlly depends on your own needs n what are your own bad vs good habits that you want to practice breaking or maintaining, so whether that means encouraging yourself to go a lil longer or taking more breaks, just try to be kind to yourself if you don't meet your goals. You can always circle back to work on smth you left behind later, or call it finished as is even if its just some sketches, or follow that sudden inspiration for a new idea while the motivation and idea is still fresh etc!

#unfortunately i dont got much tips n tricks for this sort of thing cause im lucky enough to not have too much trouble #getting things completed orz and i kind of have the opposite problem so i have like. Opposite Tips lmao #hopefully u still found smth in here that helps ^^; maybe try askin someone who has more experience with smth like this !#spookyvulture #ask #ppmpost

Lap Dragons. 'Nuff Said.

Ok, so: My immunocompromised ass got Covid in April (if you're medically able, wear masks y'all. Covid SUCKS and I only managed to avoid the hospital because I have enough experience and privilege to get what I need from the medical system relatively fast and painlessly. Don't spread Covid and try not to get it. Be safe, y'all), and when I was feeling ok-ish enough that laying in bed pretending to be a rock got way too boring, I picked up this book because I assumed it would be an easy, candy-floss read.

Which it was.

But that's not ALL it was. Let's talk Scales and Sensibility.

I was unexpectedly invested and thoroughly DELIGHTED by this book. It's essentially a standard regency romance novel but with the addition of lap dragons.

Ok, technically they're shoulder dragons, but the vibe is extremely lap kitty, and honestly in this house we STAN Sir Jessamyn.

Elinor is separated from her sisters and goes to live with her dickhead Uncle, arguably clinically depressed Aunt, and Queen Brat of a Cousin after the death of her parents, and her goal of being the "model poor relation" goes straight to hell within about the first five pages of the novel. Refusing to let poor Sir Jessamyn be abused by Cousin Penelope, Elinor basically kidnaps him, bails, and gets hit by a carriage before she makes it properly into town. This ends up being a meet cute with Mr. Benedict (seriously, regency romance novels really like having Benedicts in them) Hawkins. That's more or less all the plot you're going to get from me on this one, because I encourage you to read this delightful book.

In terms of other important things about the book, I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style. It tended toward light, fluffy, and endearing, but didn't shy away from a littled added heaviness when that was warranted, and the writing mirroring the tone so well is a skill that is rarer than you might think in genre fiction (*side eyes Brando Sando and his "invisible prose"*), but it just makes an already fun read feel stronger and more immersive.

Character-wise, Burgis created a stellar cast of clearly differentiated, personality-filled characters who I literally could not help but be deeply invested in by like, the end of chapter one. It can be easy in romance novels to let characters be more or less cardboard cutouts without much in the way of actual personality. This book DOES NOT have that problem. Elinor, Sir Jessamyn, Benedict, Penelope, and everyone else has vibrant personality that practically leaps off the page.

Finally, we have the dragons. The big dragons in this universe were, sadly, apparently hunted to extinction, leaving just the little dragons who can be trained up to sit on ladies' shoulders as a literal accessory. Sir Jessamyn is not cut out for this life, and Elinor is not a fan of turning living beings into literal fashion accessories. This is not unpacked terribly deeply in a systemic way, but as a synecdoche for assumed wider social and moral issues in the world, Sir Jessamyn serves quite well to sketch the broader picture by implication. This was such a fun idea to propose and immediately deconstruct, and I really enjoyed the draogny aspects of this novel.

If you're missing your fantasy regency romance fix this week, I cannot recommend a better solution that Stephanie Burgis's Scales and Sensibility. There is likely more to be said about this book as an homage to or gentle spoof of Austen's Sense and Sensibility, but as I have not actually read Sense and Sensibility, I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere on book internet for that content. I'm perfectly happy for now to enjoy Scales and Sensibilty on its own merits.

@avictimofthejazz

While not the most serious injury he has ever received, that prize going to being shot in the head on two different occasions and living to tell the story, breaking his arm is somehow the most annoying injury Michael has ever received. For a man who likes to do everything on his terms, having his dominant arm in a sling is really cramping his style. Now even getting dressed is a chore, and Devon has confined him to the Foundation grounds for the next two weeks. Once that stint in purgatory passes, the doctors will re-evaluate Michael’s injuries and decide if he is fit to return to light duty. Devon had breezily assured him that it would be fine, and he should not complain so much. After all, was Michael not the one always trying to go on vacation? Michael quickly retorted that sitting around with a broken arm was hardly a real vacation. A vacation was when he got to go off and do fun things… not wander around the Foundation for two weeks, and get roped into putting papers in filing cabinets. The other downside of his situation is that basic daily acts, like tying his shoes, have become almost impossible. He is not sure how Bonnie got assigned the role of nurse’s aide (not that he is complaining, of course), but his best idea is either that the mechanic lost a bet, or Devon ordered her to do it since Michael occasionally listened to her… at least more-so then April or some of the other people at the Foundation. While he milked Bonnie’s attention for the first few days, by now he has transitioned into the ‘bored’ stage of recovery, and is itching to hit the road again. He also realizes he really needs to start looking more presentable… otherwise an overly jumpy guard might mistake him for Garthe Knight one evening, and start a security event. While being mistaken for an intruder might give him something new to do, Michael also does not want to be shot by someone assuming he is that creep Garthe. Therefore, getting a proper shave is becoming imperative… and Bonnie is the best woman for the job, despite what she seems to think.

“Come on Bonnie,” He huffs, “Do you really think I’m going to ask Devon to help me? That’d just be embarrassing… and I wouldn’t trust RC3 around my throat with a razor. Now I don’t think he’d kill me, but he does tend to get distracted. The last thing I need are more injuries pairing with this arm of mine!” Plopping himself down on the counter, he studies her as he absently rubs at his sling. “It’s not really that different from any other kind of shaving… and I have dated enough women to know you all have razors on hand too. Just, you know, don’t shave off my eyebrows or something weird.”

The delicate lower-curve of her lower-lip is drawn sheepishly betwixt the brunette's teeth at his goading. Usually poised hands suddenly seem to have adopted the faintest hints of quavering as she eyes his face and then the razor encompassed by her fingers.

Barstow swallows, fearfully. A pang of anxiety echoes in the chamber of her chest when his ENTREATING azures manage to find her more skittish eyes. "Well, no, but--" Her words cut off in shelter of her next breath. The cybernetic tech supposed, that under the circumstances, she WAS his best option; even if Devon WOULD have more experience with this.

Yet, what if she slipped? What if she horribly disfigured him? Or nicked him with the blade? Knight's face is far too alluring to be etch-a-sketched up with bloodied scrapes. "That's what I'm afraid of," she softly confesses. "That I'll hurt you--" She murmurs in confession. Working on humans was far LESS forgiving than operating on the undercarriage of Kitt. There, a few dings and scratches would do relatively little harm. And her hands--- OH- Bonnie glances down at them again briefly, and feels a tinge of shame, for they're abhorrently calloused instead of smooth like Kitt's molecularly bonded shell.

"It's-- its not?" She muses in confusion when Michael insists that it's not entirely different from other forms of shaving. His next commentary causes her to erupt with laughter. "No one would mistake you for Garthe that way, would they?" Picturing him without eye-brows brings another fit of laughter rumbling through her chest, despite her best efforts given towards composure. "I'd have to draw some on with my schematics pen. Depending on my mood, you might end up with angry brows--"

She clears her throat in an effort to steady herself. "Alright. Here goes nothing. And Michael," she breathes out quite patiently, "do hold still." She cautiously instructs, placing the shaving cream down to turn on the spigot to warm water. Once the flow reaches desirable temperature, she works some of the cream into her hands. Using her fingers, she begins to lather up his prickly face. His skin is decidedly warm. So warm, it nearly brings the mechanic to sweat.

Bonnie can't remember the last time she gazed so intently upon his countenance. The close proximity alone is nearly INTOXICATING. "A-- are you still SURE that you want to TRUST me with this?" She asks, having rubbed the foam over his face and down the length of his throat. Her heart BATTERS the side of her rib-cages with a desperation almost UNFELT before as she peers into his all-too-lustrous eyes. The unbidden urge to KISS him stirs inside of her and she STRAINS to cave to the impulse. Knight requires her HELP, not her distraction; no matter how tempting such a distraction could be.

Intermission, Page 4/4

=============

With this... I want to finally celebrate the first anniversary of this comic! While technically the first page was done on September 19th and some of the characters had been created long before, it was a sketch the one that kickstarted the whole comic idea and that one was made on September 17th, 2022.

Last year I was working but I had lost most of my love for art due to multiple reasons. I decided to start this comic because "If I don't do it now i will never do it". And it ended becoming a sort of miracle cure: Working on this brought me back all the love I had for arting. And while properly getting back into the groove was extremely hard (couple with a lot of RL reasons), this comic helped me to regain my sanity and the appreciation for everything.

I decided to pour here everything I had learned so far. Writing. Trying to make a story that didnt rely on crude jokes, edgy stories just for the sake of being edgy, and trying to keep it SFW to an extent.

Chapter 1 didn't have much writing on it beforehand (just a vague note); I was trying to just "draw, don't stop". I was also afraid of losing interest (like has happened with most of my stuff before) so I wasn't sure how far I was going to reach with this (and that's why I didn't try to make a page like this for the comic at first). But I carried on. And started properly writing the story I wanted. I look at it now and its insane for me to think that I have an actual proper story, a lot of characters and relationships that feel natural.

This story is what I think is my magnum opus and I'm putting all I know, learned and have into it. However, saying I've done this alone would be super false. I tried to put in the credits the peeps who have helped me in one way or another, and I want to sincerely thank not only them, but also you, the reader, for your interest and for reading this, and also to everyone who shares this and so. I hope to continue making a story you like.

See you during November or December when chapter 8 comes!

- Vic

====================

Panel 1: D is in a graveyard. He says "…And that's what's been going on. I even got a space sister, one that actually acts way less spoiled than your daughter in spite of having much more".

Panel 2: D smells a handful of flowers with their eyes closed.

Panel 3: D drops the flowers next to the gravestone of 'Emma Reh' with an epitaph in German: 'Der Tod, so bitter er auch sein mag, ist nicht das Ende, sondern nur eine weitere Stufe, von der aus wir zu einem besseren Leben übergehen'. D says "You know what, old hag? I forgive you for all the bullshit. To be honest, I'm sorry you never found happiness in your life; unlike what you taught me, I learned that life actually can be beautiful and worth living. I don't really love you, but I genuinely hope you found some peace at the end, and that you're having fun with all your boys down there. Now it's my time… to leave with my new family, or pack, as we call ourselves. And you… You sleep well or whatever. Auf Wiedersehen wir sehen uns in der holle".

Panel 4: The band is walking through a street, but both Sher and Rowi are hugging D. Rowi says "Hey D, you're still very stressed. Wanna get some Döner Kebab with us?". D replies "S…sure! Thank you guys. You're the best thing that has happened to me in my life".

Panel 5: Roi, standing on a ceiling, wearing a visor, says "We love you too, D. You can be sure of that". There's a small narration square saying "End of recap. Thank you for reading this intermission. The story will resume in Chapter 8".

Hey, I recently came across your Tumblr and really liked the style of your sketches, specifically the Arthur Morgan ones as I am a big RDR fan. I have been trying to practice sketching the last couple of months but find it really difficult and demoralizing at times. Could you please give me some advice? (Also, sorry for the question as you probably don't usually get these kinds of questions) :)

Hi! I get a few of these questions once in a while back when Tumblr had its heyday and I welcome them each time so no worries. And I'm glad you like my Arthur sketches :) I've been meaning to draw him again.

Anyway, about dem tips:

My advise to you is that try to simplefy what you want to sketch at first before you go over the details. Everything is composed of shapes like, for instance, a dog's head has a circle and triangles for ears and a rectangle for the snout. Draw the shapes before you form your drawing. The details are meant to be enjoyed later rather than be stressed about right at the start.

Another tip is that try to determine the shadows and lighting first. Contrast makes a big difference. The more cotrast there is, the clearer your sketch gets. So don't be afraid to darken the very darks and leave the brightest blank.

Also, repetition with thought makes perfect. It's another phrase for "practice makes perfect" but a lot of people miss the point and just do repetition without thinking what should be improved so that the next sketch can be better. You need to think how the sketch is better or worse and how to improve it before you draw again to make a better version. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, you win some you lose some.

Lastly, take your time. I've had a problem with rushing over the years but I realized it's always better to savor the slow process. The slower you get, the more ideas you have on how to improve your sketch. It's always worthwhile in the end.

These tips are not as extensive as I would've liked but I hope they help.

Have you watched the Kdrama "Nevertheless"?

spoiler!!!!

It's a story about a girl who develops feelings for her FWB, who is a very popular guy and behind the scenes they are total bf gf and she’s falling hard for him but he is still close to his ex who is visiting. she realizes that he may never commit to her and starts avoiding him.

She does that after confronting him and after he has been total jerk to her and she discovers he has lead other girls on the same way. She briefly leaves town and He follows her trying to win her back and is being loved by her aunt, he then confesses his feelings many times but the girl chooses not to believe at all.

They go to the same art school, they have always acted like there's nothing going on between them, while she was vising her town her friends visits her too??? one of her friend from her friend group is openly hitting on him and simultaneously there’s a childhood friend of the girl who is trying to pursue her. but then the childhood-guy realizes that these two have something going on and he puts his feelings aside and stops pursuing her. Also, The fuck boy in this show knows how to make the girl weak he’s just so perfect like that lol.

On returning back, she has been failing her art classes and the Fboy offers to help to which they work together on the condition that he leaves her alone for good before the final art exhibition. (they work in his basement and he finally shows her his place or something i dont remember) right before the exhibition He keeps his word and leaves her without a way to contact him.

After doing well in the exhibition she realizes she has noone to share the good news with ( esp him) she tries to find him, but there's no trace.... the girl goes to the basement where they worked on the project to realize he has sold the house.. she then discovers old sketches of her drawn by him out of admiration, he has drawn her the very first time he ever saw her a year ago (she didn't know him then but he had seen her already) and how grateful we was that their paths crossed again in art school, she finds out he always loved her but was too afraid to express his feelings. He knew from the start she deserves someone better and he knows he is too careless with her heart..

Love at first sight kinda thing for him, even though he got a chance to be with her he constantly fucked up and now its too late bc the girl will never take him back. This is just a brief summary of the series it’s actually very nice and detailed they do end up together.

your writing Betrayed reminded me a lot of the show , both the guys are playing with girls heart and how the girls get wiser and push them away is when the guys get their act together … I hope you get inspired and actually give the reader & Pedro a chance because I am assuming they aren’t fwb.. I hope they either cross the friends line if not at least now or P suffers watching other pursue her but the reader isn't really happy bc it's not P... I wish to see some element of wants/cravings lol

Great Work!!!!!!!

I have never!!! I have a lot of kdramas on my nefltix list but i never got to watch them because I'm honestly so lazy for series and i usually waste all my time on soap opera lmao but this whole story sounds absolutely amazing!!! That's definitely the kind of drama i like and i already added it to my list, and as it is a short series I'll take a look at it on the weekend, so hopefully I'll enjoy it as much as I did the description you sent me!

It is funny how similar the plots are, but i swear I didn't watch it, it all came from my mind plus my lovely anon's ideas hehehe, but I'm happy to see a lot of people dig into drama hahaha

Pedro and reader aren't fwb but there's definitely feelings between them, they are unresolved and they need to figure out if they'll stay together or not. I'm so excited to see what people will think of this next chapter, I guess people will be divided, hehehe thanks for the awesome ask, anon!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is a sketch of a story I am writing. You get a sense of the characters

It's written from the female perspective, How a woman really feels when she falls in love As if she is talking directly to a man It's kind of in monolog format. It's going to be a story about a multiple who is a member of the church, Struggling to put the pieces together of a relationship she just became aware of. She is too beyond to play it cool. And it happens to have a line from "A Place to Run" in it

I recorded when I was 17

So I will add that

And the wedding song to this post

Because every story needs a song

Your voice

It makes everything better

Takes away all my fears

And oh how I live with fear

Plagued day and night

Just to hear you talk to me it's all I want

And you can help me make sense of things

Better than anyone else I've ever met

Your emotional intelligence

And I need that

I am a stranger in a world I don't understand

Some humor, sarcasm, the finer points escape me sometimes

And the massive bullying I faced makes it that much worse

No one knew

I lived like that, I was smart enough to make myself appear normal

And just have the policy of never overeacting

It's...exhausting

I'm too tired now to live the charade

When You touched me

I tumbled into a new existence

That I couldn't rectify in my head

Desperatley afraid to hurt anyone

Especially you

Because your heart is so so good

I think anyway

And I want to be good

And I don't understand how to manage this

I don't understand why God would let this happen

It wasn't your fault

My breakdown

There were so many things in play

I'm sorry I wrote that letter blaming you

I just don't quite get what is going on

And yes I was mad that you are amazing and I love every but of you

But anyway part of what happened ilduring that time oeriod, its complicated, but feelings I was numb to for most of my life

Brought to life

And I was already so ill

The part of me that loves deeply

Had attached massively to only you

Being an artist

I feel deeply, and I was shut out of that part of me somewhat

Until you touched me and revealed

That I had massively fallen for you

emotions had turned to you like the laminate forces

Turning in one giant movement to face the Strippling warriors

That kind of a turn

Forget about the fact that I was confused

About your identity in my emails

I do that

Because I can't face things for various reasons

That exist in my complicated life

Walking by night

The Old ways

So yes I was angry

Because I am massively in love with more than one person

And its your fault for existing ;)

You're perfect

You're good at everything

And to up the antie

You have that genetic marker

The giants among men

Prophesied in Edwin Gobles Patriarchal blessing

That from him would come "many mighty men" you look like him

The way your body is composed

Your...hips.

Because I have studied his ancient picture

And to my family anything to do with Edwin Goble is deeply important

So....of course just to throw a wrench in

That says I should pay attention

And Grandpa Ken Goble with his massive hands

Twiddling his massive thumbs

Would talk about how the Gobles had red hair

So of course...just make my universe implode, you're my family, albeit distant

And grow Grey's around your ears too

It makes me almost hate you I love it so much

And no one sings as well as you

No one

It's that male voice I wished existed

The one I would long for every time I heard a male soloist sing

If only they were just less poppy or less pitchy, the timbre just a bit deeper

And you have that utter perfection

So you're crack

One night I blindly walked

Down that forgotten dangerous highway

Just like the broken people of the forest

My boots and dress caked with mud

I just had to walk

I had an unrelated flashback when I left the house

But a lot of the reason that propelled me out the door needing to walk it off

Was massive love that I couldn't manage quite yet

Abandonment fears that stalk a broken person like me every.day

And breathing hard

My heart pounding

The part of fractured me that knows you

Came up

And alone I could finally face it

A powerful love and

being totally alone,

I could allow it to come to the front of me

And I remember stopping in the pitch dark

It was very late and much of the traffic that whizzed by far too close had trickled down to

a massive Florida pickup truck passing here and there

And I could only sing to try and manage

"I can't make you love me if you don't"

My breath in the cold

The ache for your voice talking to me

And I had no idea how it had developed

How did this start?

What did I do?

I don't like feeling that insecure

I feel too deeply to allow it

So now I don't know what I have said....

I push people away

Especially when they are important

I'm afraid I am dark and

I know it's silly being such a nice girl

But I'm afraid I have gone through too much

And I'm twisted

And I will hurt you

And I'm also afraid you will realize with ever more clarity the mess of my existence

And I couldn't possibly go through you not being in my life so don't leave

I mean I could survive...somehow

But anyway

No matter what m, at least I know no one is chasing me

It was just a bad dream

And you secured me and helped me

Get over it

And I am safe.. sort of

Forget about people possibly trying to trigger me

At the dollar store......damnit (ssssh I don't swear, only when i am Princess Leia)

Do you really mean what you say?

Or do I have a life altering crush on someone who will not appreciate me

I hate that

I am good at getting away from that

If that's what this Is

Because no matter how much confidence I have lost as the years have gone by, and no matter how much harship

I'm still ****Goble and when it comes down to it I don't sell myself short unless I have to sacrifice, and I will.sacrifice.for.the.right.causes

And if I am in a fantasy

Well that's nothing new

You could have anything you want

So why me? It's a mystery
