I'm not done yet but hey are you giving zuko eldest daughter trauma because I'll fucking kill you I read ONE line it's probably the first of what's to come but I'm sending the hate ask now xoxo

ofc i wouldn't do that! he's just fistfighting a saviour complex and is eternally burdened by the responsibility of raising and caring for his sister while simultaneously being a child himself and always putting himself before the worst of the war so that azula doesn't have to all the while growing more and more rage towards the situation until it all comes out in a very cataclysmic scene that i will definitely cry at when writing :)

#he's got that fiona gallagher in him #big thief rlly went to town with mythological beauty and 'there is a child inside you who is trying to raise a child in me' v tams zukocore #the funny thing about zuko and azula's relationship is that yes it's kinda wholesome but it is still ultimately fucked #and yet i find them pretty easy to write bc i literally just go 'what would me and my sister be like in this situation' #like ive said before how my sister never really stepped up as the eldest and ive always felt like we shared that role #like i'll give it to her she's better at being the eldest in certain situations and im better in others #and it's always been us helping our mum bc as capable and brilliant as my mum is she's also doing everything alone #and her temper is... not great. so me and my sister took care of each other in our own way #and by 'our own way' i mean we have NEVER had a stereotypical relationship. our age gap is too small and we're both too mean #literally zuko's ch1 quote about 'they'd never been protective of each other' is directly inspired by me and my sister #i dont feel protective of her i dont feel a need to keep her safe and happy and it's really odd bc i KNOW im supposed to but i just dont #and she doesnt for me even though she's the 'eldest'. and yet i love her and would kill and die for her #and also if we were in this situation and we were trying to shield each other #from certain horrors that we thought the other couldn't handle then we'd have to be SO CLEVER ABOUT IT #bc just like zuko with azula if i caught my sister trying to patronise me/protect me i would HIT THE ROOF #like i am thoroughly convinced there is nothing she can handle that i cant and vice versa so we'd have to be soooo slick about it #and while with zuko and azula that only holds to an extent bc azula is ultimately YEARS younger than zuko #and whatever you think of her personality she just straight up should not be exposed to certain things #(neither should zuko but yk what i mean) #it still stands and we see throughout tams the v clever ways zuko has learned to protect azula so that she doesnt catch on #like either the next chapter or the one after (probs the one after) there's a really horrific scene #that's just super dark and gory and while with a normal younger sibling you'd do something to keep their eyes on you and not on the scene #like lie to them or make it into a game or something so they're unaware of what's happening #but instead zuko sees what's happening and before azula can he quickly gets her to check their supplies and count their money or some shit #like giving her a job to acknowledge her capability and not patronise her while still shielding her from a really brutal scene #and it just goes over zuko's head that at sixteen he ALSO SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THAT #but long story short i just think that's so funny. like the fire hazards are sooo fucked and for good reason #but it literally just boils down to me and my dumbass sister #so yeah. very niche eldest daughter syndrome emanating from tams zuko #ask

ive crossed over into an alternate dimension where side profiles are somehow sometimes easier to draw than other angles. bodies in side profile however... nooo thank you...

#ok the back of the head is hard but the facial features proportions kind of feel easier to figure out . maybe. #weird #n e way im happy with the way i draw faces mostly maybe 50 percent of the time but im so not caught up on drawing bodies #like to the point it just looks bizarre #decent proportional face with like at least some understanding of structure/form even if it's not much #and then the stiffest clunkiest body you ever did see #or i can go the other way around and have an ok body. like decently fluid / proportional. but no face #theres some kind of disconnect. cant have both at once #thats only a sometimes thing though anyways. faces are generally easier #tried to do a teeny bit of gesture drawing yesterday but i was feeling sooo lazy and impatient so only 3 of them turned out ok ish #im pretty sure i post more often talking about art than i actually post art #i dont post most of the things i draw #i like to have my little secrets... #secrets in question are just literally anything that isnt adventure time art #actually looking through my art folder is crazy cause like if i saw this 3 years ago (i was really bad at drawing 3 years ago) i would. idk #drop dead or something #but now its like yeah same old same old. lots of problems. need to work on those. #but its nice to step back and be like woagh holy shit. massive improvement #earlier i was trying to dfraw a character and it wasn't coming out right but instead of getting frustrated and discouraged #it was more like i had this feeling of . idk. excitement to get better at drawing? #i dont know if this is just a temporary mood or maybe im turning over a new leaf. new optimistic mindset about art #<- watch that 'new mindset' totally disappear when i have a slightly more prolonged period of art struggle. lol

You seemed to like the first ones so uhhhh here is more because i really enjoy drawing this guy. digital this time!

#ask a ghost #asker: saltyr3mix #au: where the dust settles #tagging this as nyx #<- bookkeeping tag #anyways oh my GOD?? #lovely watcher boy <3 he has seen hell and back and he's literally just. a random 17 year old. #canon age for you with that one :3 #(this is why pandora refers to him as a kid a couple of times.) #also eensy little canon detail: nyx has brown eyes :3 #a couple of appearance notes since im thinking about it: nyx's hair was bleached at the time he was caught because of a bet he made w viole #he's one of the younger people working for starr after getting recommended to go there by a few people #i have no idea how far you are in the story PVNKDL there's a point where this all gets shown but i could happily talk more #he deserves more screen time but pandora hates him vehemently so he doesnt get a lot of it </3 #<- this is why i have plans for alternate povs and other stuff. since pandora has such a limited scope. #nyx is the youngest person in the group (before that title was held by accius but only barely) #okay thats enough random info pfnjhfdkmld #also i swear to god im gonna cry one of these days youkeep DRAWING THEM i never expected anybody to do that </3 #(happy tears i swear)

[tidekissed]

i also scored well on an assignment i thought i bombed so. we're just kicking ass. gonna try and keep up this momentum for the rest of my essentially last semester so that i finish undergrad looking really good.

#tidepool chats #honestly just. so proud of everything ive done #despite the MANY roadblocks and curveballs that got thrown at me #in the end im only taking 1 extra semester than i would have #and am only abt a year behind because of the year i had to take off #so that i didnt. die. #literally. #so. now i'm just going to continue working hard academically and on my health #and i will finally get what ive always wanted. and i am so fucking ready. #it's such a good feeling when you can SEE people around you starting to realize just how smart you are #like yes i am brilliant. glad you've caught on. #and it's so much progress to be able to even say that about myself #just. yeah. even though it's hard i've made SIGNIFICANT strides #just. happy. gonna keep kicking ass.

i have reached the tag limit writing my thoughts help. im not even done but ig ill just leave it at that AHAHSHSHSH

#since i collected all johto/kanto badges my next goal is to start grinding extra harder for red + #my decision to try to catch as much legendaries #so the first thing i did was make sure that poliwhirl and misdreavus actually evolved - so i went around to find the stones #along the way i happen to find a dawn stone - i frowned thinking like. man if only i could use this on kirlia > gallade #i went to goldenrod to buy some tms and as i left the city i accidentally walked on grass (speeding up the emulator lmao) and FOUND RALTS #i was so shocked because AYO RALTS? IN JOHTO MF #it was male even so i was so excited to grab it - i did and then later i was like “would be cool if i could get a gardevoir too” #“maybe i can breed the ralts with a ditto' #“but I don't have a ditto :[” #AND THEN I WALKED ON THE GRASS AGAIN TO FIND A DITTO RIGHT AFTER THAT AKSKSJSJSJSJDJSSK #i caught it IMMEDIATELY #i was like. wow this is too good to be true. i kept walking on grass again and then i found a female ralts. #now the ditto wont be necessary anymore but i was happy to get one #my next concern was like - 'aw man they're hella underleveled tho - oh yeah! daycare. where's that dayca- #LITERALLY JUST 3 STEPS AWAY FROM ME. THE DAYCARE. BECAUSE DUH. IM IN GOLDENROD CITY THEY'RE NEXT TO EACH OTHER FLDJFKFLFKDKDK #I WAS JUST MADLY GIGGLIGN TO MYSELF LIKE GIRL DAMN EVERYTHING CAME RIGHT TO ME RGRGDHDH #so yeah my other side quest is to get both gallade and gardevoir. probably super obvious but yes they're my fav lines aksjsjsj #there's also another bit i discovered where once i collected all 16 badges - i have to visit the sound designer in celadon's apartments #he gave me a Gameboy device that plays the entire game out but in the Gameboy ver aka the og games and #idk i just... really appreciate that bit? you can tell so much love was poured into this #i enabled the device for a bit too simulate how it would sound like if i played the gb versions. it's so cool #immediately jumped to pallet town and new bark town's ver - it's so sweet sounding #i really appreciate that small bit! as someone who didn't play the og games this one is just a nice way of giving me a tasteof it #anyway - right now im trying to level the team the best i can + evolved with stones and im also trying to look for the other gym leaders #to get their phone number to rebattle (and level up again) #.... i was flustered to get morty's number first... #at the bellchime tower of all places???!?!?!! damn. damn. in the pretty autumn trees smh morty are you setting me up.. slash ro- #EITHER WAY I GOT A LIIITLE EXCITED OVER THAT SMDNDBDBBDLFLF anduhhhmayhapsfunneideasgrgfgf #hi sarahdontlook at meee HEVDVSVEBSBSBD #i forgot morty pops up there and.

[cadaverousdecay]

the joy of receiving things vs the uncomfort of accepting a gift

#i love gifts so so so much in theory #but #i dont know how to actually receive one #am i supposed to reciprocate???? probably #how do i know what to get someone else? #even people i think i know pretty well i dont know what a good gift would be #once you get a gift is there an unspoken debt? is there an owing? #even if they dont expect a gift back they probably expect something right? #i feel like i went through most of life not even thinking about any of this #i would get something and be so so happy and caught up in the gift that i didnt even consider there would be a debt owed #but now im just. not sure. #i dont know what people expect. ive been given a warning for one person i know is getting me something #i need to figure oit some fucking. fuck #whatever. think about it later #like ur supposed to at least idk. just OWE them something. a favor or extra kindness or idk idk idk #ughhhhhhhh #whatever i literally dont even care and it doesnt worry me at all and im not even thinking ont so its fine

[awkward-smirks]

#love it when people bump into me when I'm out somewhere and they come up all excited to say hi 🥹 #like you really could've ignored me and i wouldn't know bc im not aware of people when i go out #like if I'm not expecting to see someone i know when I'm out then i don't look people in the face - strangers stay strangers to me #but one of my first high school friends was in the same restaurant as me today and she was like 'SANDY?!???????' & jumped up from her table #like i walked into this place looking her group dead in the eye and then sat down and didn't realize she was among them until she came over #but we caught up and it was so nice bc she was literally thinking of me days ago bc i commented on her IG story #so yeah now we're gonna grab boba sometime #it was so nice to bump into her 🥹💖💖💖 it makes my heart so happy to see old friends #she was the first friend to hang out with me outside of school on a lil friend date #and she introduced me to boba and ginger candies #i love her :') #sandy rambling #anyways this is just to show you how obvious i am when it comes to social interactions and meeting people outside #this has happened more times than i can count

[milkbreadtoast]

I Really enjoy your recommendations on stuff!! Recently I was looking for webtoons and read When The Day Comes by OMYO after seeing you post about it and it was (while not the kind of webtoon I normally read) really sweet and heartwarming!!! I enjoyed it all the way through, and the art style is so cute! Thank you for sharing it!

Waaaah thank you so much for reading my recs!!!🥺💓That means a lot and I'm so glad you enjoyed that one!!! When the day comes is def one of my fav webtoons 😭💞 storytelling, pacing, realistic writing, chara dev, art style, everything is perfect... Wait you made me realize I hadn't rec'd that here!!! Everyone please read When The Day Comes by omyo on webtoon!!! Even if u don't normally like slice of life/hs romance it's just rly rly well done and I love it so much 🥺💓 I actually started it just bc of the art/I liked omyo's prev work... and ended up loving the writing and just falling in love w this webtoon and caring sm abt all the charas😭💓💓 i think paran and seowon r my favs... but i love everyone🥲 MUST READ IMO!!!!

Btw if u want to read more from this author I would check out "the stories of those around me" too!! I would say WTDC is an improvement in both art and writing (i think "the stories" was ~10 yrs ago) but this was 1 of the first webtoons i ever read and i still love it... like WTDC u can see omyo's style of writing realistically and naturally, the simple clean art is rly cute, and I love the charas in that too... it focuses on 3 25 yr old women!! I would def rec WTDC to everyone but i want to rec "the stories" to ppl who like omyo's work as well!! Also 1 thing I love abt omyo's work is u can rly tell they have a love of food and showing small moments/details...

#i think summer(yeoreum) and sanghoon were my favs🥲 #also they draw 100% without using CSP assets which is rly impressive and visually pleasing *_* #ofc using CSP assets is great!!! but omyo doesnt use them so it just looks rly nice :'0 #and like coherent #thank u sm for taking my rec!!🥺🥺 #u dont have to take this one too im just so happy u read WTDC #feel free to talk more abt ur thoughts abt it!!! #also have u read the makeup remover!!!🥺 rly good webtoonnn #sidenote: i actually wouldnt rec salty studio(by omyo) skjfjd #i should make a post abt no home by wanan someday... but im not caught up😭😭 #and it doesnt have a legal tl #(its being scanlated i think) #but no home is literally a masterpiece #my fav webtoon of all time #i need to get back into it but it is HEAVY... i cried so damn hard #so im like my heart isnt ready KFJDJ BUT I NEED TO GET BACK INTO ITTT #its even in my tumblr bio LMAO... 집이없어
