Hey, I want to start by saying that I love everything about your writing so much!

I just read your Fanfic Author Ask Meme reply where you said you gave yourself mild tendinitis in Feb. If you’ll permit me, I’d like to gently shake you by the shoulders and say: Please take care of yourself!

As someone who drew so much for their degree that they gave themselves carpal tunnel (which then developed into chronic pain that’s 5 years strong and counting) I totally get the enthusiasm to create. I hope it was enthusiasm that caused it and not any pressure you may feel by our enthusiasm for your work.

Either way, I just wanted to say that I bet everyone would be cool with you taking your time with writing if it meant that you weren’t hurting yourself. I love reading your work, but I’d hate for you to injure yourself and get to the point where you still have the enthusiasm but aren’t able to act on it. Enthusiasm is great and beautiful but sometimes one needs to be reminded that slowing down isn’t necessarily a bad thing when it comes to creating, if that makes sense? I’m not too sure if I’m accurately conveying my thoughts or feelings on the matter. I guess I just wanted to make sure you’re taking care of yourself.

I’m gonna stop lecturing you now, just let me climb down off my soap box and take a few deep breaths. Sorry for shaking you; hearing about creative injuries just flips a switch in my brain 😅

Aw, haha, I really appreciate your concern! And I'm very sorry that that happened to you as well. Let me assuage at least this particular instance a little bit!

This isn't a totally new tendonitis for me: the usual main exacerbating factor is not actually keyboard typing but being on my phone way too much, and when it comes around, I switch to using a stylus, which helps a lot.

I've slowed down quite a bit and it's not currently bothering me!

My writing "too much" is one of those things that is totally internally motivated: I don't feel outside pressure to do it, I was very much just riding the most intense phase of a hyperfixation. It's not a normal behavior for me, haha, and it's not actually possible for me to write that much most of the time unless I have that time off as I did on this occasion. So! Forced limits, haha.

I wrote 80k words in three weeks, which is pretty fucking insane, and even as much as I'm still writing now, it's notably less than that and isn't causing any physical issues!

When I realized it was happening because of the typing and not the phone thing this time, I took measures to tone things back. I've gotten overenthusiastic in ways that caused longer-term injuries before and am not interested in a repeat, haha.

That said, doctors (and those soon to be, in my case) are absolutely known to be the worst patients, hahaha. I fully acknowledge that I have a high pain tolerance and am a person who walked on a broken foot for a full week because it wasn't "that bad" until my mom made me go to the ED. I'm usually better at judging my own health based on objective signs rather than how bad something hurts, but sometimes I do slip, and "in the throes of creative fury" is definitely one of those moments where I can be prone to it.

So thank you for your kind words! They're important ones to live by! We only get one body: it's imperative to treasure it, and not to do anything to it now that's going to make us irreperably miserable later.

#ask #personal #artistmarchalius #the phone thing WAS still writing related bc I used to RP on my phone under the desk in undergrad #but it's something that I'm v much at the “oh shit I did the thing again on accident time to stop” stage of managing #as opposed to the “This Is Fine” stage haha #my dad's always been firm on not going to physical extremes because I'll regret it later in life so glib jokes aside this is v much #something I keep an eye on in my actual daily life

Wow! It’s been a while since I posted anything but the Animaniacs reboot has forced me out of hiding. I grew up watching this show (not when it first aired or on reruns but on early stages YouTube clips and on a multi region DVD player because there were no UK DVDs). I was also very into the Animaniacs fandom on DeviantArt back in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s and this reboot has me all messed up with nostalgia. It’s wild to think about all that’s happened since then, this was the show that inspired me to get into 2D animation (I was a stop motion nut before) and now I have my animation degree!

Animaniacs played such a huge part in forming who I am and I’m loving the reboot too! It’s also very interesting to see how much fan culture has changed through the years; people always projected onto this series but the nature of the projection (such as mental illness and gender identity) is a lot different now. I think it’s great that there are so many new people finding this series and being able to connect and identify with it in all these different ways that may help them express themselves and connect with themselves too. Maybe it will help them form themselves like it did for me?

Either way, I’m looking forward to drawing more Warners and jumping head first back into this fandom after all these years!

Some roughly written personal analyses on Scratchy I've been jotting down lately for personal story purposes/ for fun... also hello Animaniacs-fandom, long time not seeing ya'll~

Need I also say just how I love the content for Scratchy around here on Tumblr BTW, thanks especially for @cf56, @artistmarchalius, @tinkerbellidot, @duckslif3 for such good food (there's more here I'd list but this post could get tad long then, bless you all though)

#dr.otto von scratchansniff #animaniacs #dr. scratchansniff #this one being towards the whole crossover AU I've been doing that has me expand on the interactions of characters between shows of KidsWB #though main focus is on the Warners clashing with Pokemon's cast and how that eventually lead to an interest ball sport - #which'll slowly bring in characters from nearby networks like Cartoon Network #not gonna iterate anymore than that though if ya'll curious for more then do reply~

I love @solbabydraws Teenage Cousin Shenanigans AU, it always makes me laugh! I thought I’d show my appreciation for Solbabydraws and their AU by misquoting lines from Friends that I thought were appropriate.

The characters belong to Disney but the redesigns and the AU belong to @solbabydraws ⭐️

C is for ‘Caballeros’!

This took a long time to draw because I realised (after the poll was finished) that I had no idea how to draw Panchito and José so I had to do a crash course and teach myself. That being said, these characters are a delight to draw!

Caballeros won the poll for ‘C’, but don’t worry! There’s plenty to opportunities for cousins in later letters. Keep an eye out for more polls on my instagram to help decide future letter prompts!

Tried my hand at a Gladstone Gander, still learning the duck ropes! I love @modmad’s Gladstone design! It was thanks to them that I got into reading the Carl Barks comics; they also make really good comics themselves, go check out their blog!

A is for Adventure!

I’ve decided to do an ABC art challenge to help motivate me while I teach myself to draw Disney Ducks. I’m also doing this because I love Disney Ducks and want an excuse to draw more of them. I’ve seen other artists do similar challenges and it looked like a lot of fun, so from now on into the future I will be doing the ‘Disney Duck ABC’s/ Ducktales ABC’s’! This means I’ll be making a piece of work inspired by a word to do with the Disney Duck universe that begins with each letter of the alphabet. Hopefully by the time I get to Z I’ll be a lot better at drawing ducks!

Super rough late night Duck doodles. Artists like @tricia-morvill and @modmad have inspired me to learn how to draw Disney Ducks. I have fallen deep into the rabbit hole! This is the beginning of a long learning process.

There are some letters of my Disney Duck ABC’s that I can’t decide what their word should be. If you want to keep up to date on my challenge or want to help decide what the next (and some future pieces of work) should be, feel free to visit my instagram account here and vote in the poll!

I love this game, especially the animation. I’m absolutely fine with dying over and over again if it means I get to keep watching that 24 frames per second beauty!

Had a lot of fun making my Cuphead drawing that I just had to do more. I love Baroness Von Bon Bon’s design! I’d also love it if her flying heads would stop killing me.

25/12/17: Merry Christmas! Hope everyone had a lovely day! When I was out Christmas shopping two days ago and was given this watercolour sample sheet in an art shop.

Here is the Betty colour version of my parody poster. For those who haven't seen my previous post, this is a 'Bendy and the Ink Machine' parody of Betty Boop's 'I Heard' poster. The previous post contain the same drawing but with different colours that reflect other 'Bendy and the Ink Machine' posters.
