"an obsession with fire you say?"

you seem to have piqued a phoenix's curiosity. though sometimes about their voice feels... familiar.

they stare down at you perched on top of a rock eyes glistening with intrigue.

((this is my avian variant dust!player for context. they go by the name "crimson"))

Dust stares blankly up at the phoenix, and it's difficult to tell what he's thinking for a moment. A rare smile suddenly crosses his face, and he lets out a low chuckle as his eyelights shine with a dangerously mischievous glint. Something tells Crimson that maybe approaching Dust was a bad idea-- if they're not violent, that is.

He stuffs his hands into his pockets as he briefly hesitated for a second before speaking.

"Well, would you look at that? How interesting. Say... how easy or hard is it for you to control your flames?"

Sorry for asking but I am a cis male teenager (well, I thought I was.) but lately I have realized I think I might be a trans girl? I am very scared to drop my masculinity. How did you find out you were trans if that’s okay to ask?

Of course it's ok! I am always happy to help someone who is questioning their gender. However, this is actually a pretty loaded question, because while there is a lot of talk about "when my egg cracked" in trans circles, figuring out you're trans isn't always attributable to any one singular event. Some folks might crack through and emerge from their egg in one swift motion but that is not true for everyone, it certainly wasn't true for me. Sure I could tell about the moment the first crack in my shell appeared, but a single crack in the egg is a far cry from actually breaking out. For many it's a process that can involve a series of revelations and tends to require lots of self reflection and learning how to love yourself. So, there is no quick and easy answer for this. However, I think my story will have a number of different lessons relevant to your question.

Before getting into all that though, I feel I must point out that cisgender folks rarely ask themselves these kinds of questions and when they do entertain these thoughts it's brief and comes with very little agony. The fact you have gone so far as to reach out to trans woman for advice, the fact the you are clearly worried by the prospect of being trans, is a pretty clear indicator that you probably are trans. Regardless of whether you actually are transgender or not, I want you to know that either way, it's ok. You will be ok, no matter what conclusions you come to.

Now, the story of how I figured out I was trans. Bear in mind, the first “aha moment” was 20 yrs ago and things were very different back then. I was about 17yrs old at the time and the term transgender didn't have the currency then that it does now, there wasn't the robust set of terminology that we have today, there were far fewer resources to turn to, no social media, and the overall public opinion was significantly more hostile towards anything LGBT. Anyway, more below the cut.

I didn't follow the typical trans narrative of the time in the sense that, as a child I didn't really care about my clothes so long as my favorite cartoon characters were on 'em, I liked toys typically marketed towards boys, I looked like a boy and everyone referred to me as a boy. So I thought I was a boy. However, I do have a vague memory from early childhood, somewhere between the ages of 4-6, of sneaking into my mother’s room and stealing a pair of her satin underwear and trying it on (it surely would have been too big on me but I remember liking the texture of the fabric) and hiding it under my bed. This memory has since been confirmed during my adulthood by my brother who shared a room with me at the time and had apparently found the hidden stash.

From an early age I was explicitly shunted towards masculinity. I was regularly told to “stop acting like a girl,” and “quit crying like a girl,” and even at one point to “stop walking like a girl,” by my peers and one of my brothers. By the time I was a teenager I was doing my best to be as masculine as possible going so far as joining the highschool wrestling team, a sport that is as homophobic as it is homoerotic, and I hated every minute of it because being manly didn't feel natural to me (and it definitely didn't stop the bullying). It felt like I was trying to ice skate uphill. I fit in but only imperfectly for I was merely acting.

I was also very confused about my sexuality. I thought maybe I was gay or bisexual (turns out the latter) but that didn’t really explain what I was feeling. Around 17yrs old I got curious about transsexuals, thinking maybe the answers would be found there and hoped on to the early and oh so clunky internet. Now I knew of transsexuals conceptually but I didn't know anything about them. Sadly, pornography was really the only reliable way to actually see what a trans body looked like back then. I was stunned because the women I saw did not look at all the way I expected. I was blown away by how so many of them, genitalia aside, looked indistinguishable from cisgender women. And they were all absurdly beautiful. I felt an immediate attraction but there was something else I felt too, envy. And that realization was the first crack in my eggshell.

After that I couldn't get the thought of crossdressing out of my head. So, I dug through a box of my mother's old clothes and took a few items she no longer wore, an old white tennis skirt and a very very 70s sleeveless orange blouse. I was so comfortable in those clothes and when I looked at myself in the mirror I felt good, really good. So, I continued exploring, shaved off all of of my body hair, went to department stores that were open late at night to buy girl clothes (deathly afraid someone would recognize me), I would stay up late at night to watch HBO because at midnight they would occasionally air stuff about trans people, (I remember two documentary shorts in particular and the movie Soldier’s Girl) and I scoured the internet for more information. The internet search brought me to a website called TG list (at least I think that’s what it was called, this was 20yrs ago after all) which was a directory of resources ranging from The Breast Form Store (which still exists!), a myriad of gender identity quizzes (I took nearly every single one), and Susan’s Place.

Susan’s place was one of the few reliable places to hear from actual transgender adults. Unfortunately, while Susan's Place had a lot of useful information the forums there were full of horror stories, a never-ending supply of all the things those women had suffered. So needless to say, there was little to no positivity around transness to give me hope. I was afraid to call myself trans as a result, afraid of what it meant for my life, my future, and my physical safety (you have to remember that back then Mathew Shepard wasn’t old news, his tragedy was practically current events). So I called myself a crossdresser but for reasons I didn't understand at the time I deeply resented that label. I think deep down, no matter how much I tried to deny it and bury it, a part of knew I wanted to be a girl. So when I came out to my parents as a crossdresser and explicitly told them I wasn't trans, that I didn’t have any desire to transition to female, there was that lil voice at the back of my mind calling me a liar. That voice would follow me until my late 20s.

Coming out was a real struggle for me because not only did I think my life would literally be in jeopardy, I thought everyone would think I was making it up, having not followed the stereotypical models of transsexuality. When I came out to my parents they didn't disown me or anything but they were noticeably uncomfortable around me when I was in girl mode. At a certain point I needed their help (credit card) to buy a gaff for tucking and that was when my parents, out of a misguided desire to protect me, pushed me back into the egg. Because of their rejection I spent the rest of highschool and most of my college years trying to hold the egg together with even more denial and by doubling down on masculinity. While I did have some fun during my college years, on balance I was miserable and depressed. I chafed at my male costume and I knew I was lying to myself the entire time, and I hurt myself a great deal.

During my senior year of college I started privately dabbling with crossdressing again, the desire had been nagging at me incessantly. A short time after graduating I met my wife who accepted that side of me and she introduced me to the BDSM/kink community, and the overall culture of nonjudgmental acceptance there cracked the egg for good, because is provided spaces besides my own room where I felt safe being a girl. From that point on I slowly but surely came out of the egg, first calling myself a crossdresser, then genderfluid for awhile, then GENDA passed in NY making me an explicitly protected class and for the next 2 yrs I presented as a they/them genderqueer woman 100% full time without HRT (I was still reluctant to call myself a woman).

I wrestled a long time with the choice to go on HRT. Ultimately that was always a big stumbling block for me. Therapy had gotten me pretty far but I was still afraid of so much and was unsure I would be happy with the changes because my parents had initially rejected me as their daughter in very paternalistic fashion I struggled to trust my own instincts. I still struggle with that sometimes. Eventually, I befriended a trans woman in my neighborhood who pointed out HRT works very slowly and that it takes a long time for any permanent changes to take root. So, she suggested I give it a try and if it didn't feel right I could stop.

I was also taking gender identity quizzes again. Now most of these claim to be diagnostic and those ones a generally misogynistic garbage (they ask stupid questions like, “are you good at math?” and assign a gendered value to the answer) but I happened upon one that started with the disclaimer that it wasn't diagnostic and instead only offered questions that are good to think with. Two questions in particular were very helpful. The first asked, "If you could take a pill that would allow you to wake up tomorrow as a girl, would you take it?" My answer was a hesitant yes, but that yes was bolstered by the next question, "If you could take a pill that would allow you to wake up as a man, in your current body, but without any dysphoria or desires to be feminine, would you take it?" My answer was an emphatic no because that would have felt like killing an important part of myself off. I then at the age of 33yrs old started HRT and 4yrs in I am incredibly happy. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Now, I know that was a lot of fucking text to read but I wrote all of that because I know the prospect of maybe being a trans girl feels scary to you right now but I want to assure you that as daunting as it may seem there is so much about being a trans woman that is full of beauty and joy. I love my trans womanhood and despite the hardships, I wouldn’t give it up for anything. In fact the opposite is true. Knowing what I know now, I would give up almost everything in order to be a woman. So if you feel like you want to give girlhood a try, do it! You can take small incremental steps and you can always stop if it doesn’t feel right, either way you will gain a degree of self knowledge most cisgender people lack completely and that is absolutely priceless! Plus, unlike me when I was a teen, there’s all kinds of resources and information available to you now and an entire community of people ready to help you, and unlike the women in the forums from my past, we aren’t all gloom and doom.

As for your fear of giving up masculinity, don’t let that fear lure you into the denial trap like it did me. Denial is like quicksand, once you’re in it becomes hard to get out, the more you struggle the deeper in you go and it is so very suffocating. And the thing is, you actually don’t have to give it all up. Back when I was presenting full time as woman without HRT, I felt like I had to be ultra feminine all the time, full face of make-up, dress, heels, the whole nine yards. Now that I’m 4 yrs in with HRT I don’t feel that pressure anymore and have since reclaimed certain aspects of masculinity I actually liked. I sill like presenting high femme from time to time but these days I mostly rock a soft butch aesthetic, flannel/t-shirt, jeans and the only makeup I wear daily is just a lil bit of blush. At certain point you become comfortable and realize that gender is just a sandbox to play in and experiment. Masculine and Feminine are just concepts, they aren’t real! so regardless of being cis or trans, don’t let those mere concepts box you in! Just do what feels natural and right to you!

I hope all of that was helpful to you anon, and that at the very least you walk away from this knowing you don’t have to have all of the answers about yourself right now. Now, I don't no the particulars of your situation, so I’m happy to speak with you further if you have follow up questions, just send another anon.

Best of luck to you anon, I am rooting for you!

Thank you so much for acknowledging that Martlet deserves to be the Ink character of the UTY verse. Could you share your ideas you had for her? I'd love to hear them!

HEHE OF COURSE!! i am not immune to silly characters with scarfs shrugs

pluto and i were bouncing ideas back in forth for a while so i’ll summarize our overall thoughts and some extra stuff ive thought of (probably while writing this)

so the initial idea came up based on my post about martlet Remembering Resets like sans does and the idea of oh what if she got to explore the multiverse too (maybe the determination injection made her see that oh goodness there is a Lot Of AUs just. there.) then pluto mentioned possible ink and error martlet and i got Ideas… but my first attempt to draw ink martlet ended with fully realized spiral avatar martlet oops! but i finished the design yesterday lol

as for character! ink martlet has taken it upon herself to be the guard of the multiverse, flying through the space between the aus and making sure everything is going well. she’s pretty similar to base uty martlet, save for probably some backstory stuff (that i haven’t thought of yet. el oh el)

there’s no actual plot line… yet >:) we threw around some ideas (vigilante-sheriff starlo and multiverse exploring feisty five and a ceroba searching for a universe where her family doesn’t end up. gestures to uty) but there’s no designs (maybe once i learn how to draw star…)

btw for character design she’s based on eastern bluebirds (though i initially just looked up “blue and brown bird”) with ink’s general style! now that i think about it since i was just kinda doing colors for the actual paint she’d probably have ink the same color as the human souls. maybe throw in a determination serum one just for fun hehe. also adding from my Brain blast during math today she’d wear her hair half up to look like a paintbrush (doodle of it down below)

#thank you for liking her!! i’m so glad everyone’s enjoying her she was so fun to draw :3 #goodness this was a lot oops. i just really like her lol #ask/answer #ink!martlet #< she gets her own tag now!! #undertale yellow #🌙

Is it ok if you draw my take on Sonic.exe? He’s part of an AU where he gets kidnapped and tortured by doctor robotnik. It caused him to lose his eyes, heart and his life. Even after killing Robotnik, Sonic still couldn’t rest. He now roams around Mobius. Worst of all his friends never found out what happened to him.

Great. Now i'm attached to this design...

What would Dante do if he ended up in Eastern Europe?

Well first, he'd be really confused as to how he even got there. Then he'd wander around and try to communicate with the locals. Being a demon, he can adapt and learn new languages pretty easily, so he'd learn the basics of the local language pretty soon.

Then he'd start asking around, looking for a pizzeria so he can taste some "authentic" pizza. When he doesn't find one, he'll get really disappointed. He could have sworn Europe was where pizza was invented! It takes a quick phone call from Vergil to remind him that Italy is in Southern Europe, not Eastern Europe, where he currently is. Before Dante can ask Vergil to portal him home, the line goes dead, meaning that Sir PizzaMan is on his own.

Dante continued to wander around, wondering where he can find transport to get home. Along the way, he runs into a sexy lady, who convinces him to get a drink with her at a local bar.

An hour later, Dante is hammered and alone; the woman long gone and the half demon having consumed 3x the amount of liquor required to knock out an average human man. He is now incapable of rational thought and starts dancing on the counter, even though no music is playing.

The other patrons stare in shock; they've never seen anyone behave like this in their lives. Eventually a couple of equally drunk thugs approach him and a brawl breaks out. Dante goes to his holsters to pull out his pistols, only to find they are gone. Turns out the woman from earlier was a pickpocket, and stole them from him when they were drinking together!

Absolutely floored, Dante trashes the bar and everyone in it before heading out in search of that little thief. Thanks to his half demon senses, he was able to track her down by following the diminishing scent of her perfume.

Eventually, Dante corners the thief inside a pawn shop, where she was haggling with the clerk. Terrified as to how Dante found her so easily, the thief surrenders her stolen goods and runs off before anyone can say anything.

Pleased that he has his weapons back, Dante turns and gets ready to leave, only to find that he has several police officers waiting outside, ready to arrest him for trashing the bar earlier. Still feeling kinda tipsy, Dante kicks open a nearby window and makes a break for it down the street.

With the police hot on his heels, Dante races through town until he spots an unattended scooter sitting on the sidewalk. He "borrows" said scooter and tries to use it to escape his pursuers, only to find that the scooter is remarkably slow.

Disappointed and frustrated, Dante runs away from the city and into the nearby woods, where he comes face to face with a brown bear, who looks very hungry.

4 weeks later, Nico spawns her van into the forest, and Nero pops out, followed by a very cranky Vergil. The two search the area for some time before catching wind of some smoke that seems to originate not too far from where they are. Believing it to be a signal fire, the pair speed towards it, soon discovering that Dante went and built himself a cozy log cabin in the middle of the woods.

As father and son marvel at the structure, Dante himself emerges from the cabin, looking like a lumberjack--in fact, he had been for the past month or so.

Turns out, he loves living in the woods so much, he didn't want to return at first.

Nero and Vergil ultimately convince him to return--but only after promising to buy him all the pizza he wants for 2 weeks.

Not the same anon, but I need to talk about some of the nicknames Temenos gives Crick in some of the translations, because my god. He literally calls him "mi fiel Crick" and "querido Crick" in the spanish translation, and that's after Stormhail too, like his ass is not beating the gay allegations fr /hj

I translated these in Spanish Dict (still learning Spanish)

And you mean to tell me that in Spanish Temenos not only calls Crick "dear/darling" (querido) but he also calls him "My faithful Crick" (mi fiel)!?

Omg yeah Temenos is NOT beating the gay allegations fjndbdbenfbr

Hello hello~!

I am so sorry for like, suddenly barging into your inbox. I find you really cool, but I am kinda awful at communicating so yeh. I've been feeling guilty about this, hence my ask;

I am so sorry that quite literally never joined in most of the things you tagged me in. I am in the process of draft/WIP-dumping my only book, and not even one chapter is done. That's why whenever I see you tag me in stuff like "specific words from your wips" or "character voice" and the like, I feel really bad because I wanna join but I just don't have the material.

I love that you tagged me, and while I didn't join, it's really nice to be shown those kinds of stuff since I get to learn a lot!

Also writeark is my writing blog, I have a few snippets of my book there if you're interested? To just look, of course! And maybe critique or something yeah.

Imma just see myself out now. I hope you have a lovely day!

Heyy!! 🤗

You can barge into my ask as many times as you like I don't mind it one bit! I'm not the greatest at communicating either so trust me I get it😅 but that's for the compliment! You don't have to feel guilty about anything I completely understand and I'm sorry that I made you feel that way. Don't stress about joining in on the tag games if you feel that you aren't ready for that yet. They'll still be there when your at a point in your WIP you feel comfortable enough to start joining. That being said I'm glad to know that you enjoy being tagged and that your using it as a chance to learn something much like I do! I'm still pretty new to writing myself so it's great to be part of a community of writers where we build each other up and help each other out!

I will most definitely be taking a look at your blog because I love reading other people's WIP and seeing how much they evolve and grow over time! I hope you have a great day too and remember to take breaks when you need it- don't force yourself to write something when you aren't feeling up to it, that can cause you to get burnt out faster. And make sure to drink lots of water and stay healthy! ❤️❤️

I wish I could tuck. it just seems to hurt me every time I try and never ends well. I was hoping hormones would help some but they haven't really worked very well and even affected that area.

do you have any advice/guidance? not being able to tuck just makes me feel really bad and miserable and not very girly.

Hi anon!

You’ve come to the right place with this question because I have lots of advice when it comes to the subject of tucking.

When you first start tucking, there’s no getting around the initial discomfort and “pain”. Pushing your testicles up into the inguinal canal and keeping them there takes some getting used to. Now the reason I put “pain” in scare quotes here is because there is some pain when start out doing it but it should be a kind of dull achey pain. Like, if it feels like someone giving your testicles a firm but moderate squeeze, that’s normal. It should never ever feel like a sharp pain! If your tuck is making you wince you need to carefully undo it immediately. If you’re experience a sharp pain there’s a slim chance it could be an anatomical issue (everyone’s bodies are different) but most likely it either has to do with one or several of the following things that can be changed: Technique, Gaff, and testical size. Also, like I said, even without HRT, eventually you do acclimate to how it feels having your testes inside the inguinal canal such that the sensation will hardly even register let alone hurt.

Now, you mentioned being on HRT. I don’t know how long you have been on HRT but with time your testicles will shrink, even if you penis stays roughly the same size. Tucking does get significantly easier the further along you are with HRT. So even if you’re testicle size is currently giving you trouble it almost certainly will not be an issue later on. Eventually the shrinkage should make tucking effortless and easy.

It’s also possible there is something off with your technique. It’s a little difficult for me to imagine how one might do it so incorrectly as to get torsion but I can walk you through my tucking technique. First, I make a peace sign with the index and middle finger, I use those two fingers to push the testes up into the inguinal canal and rest that hand on my pubis mons with the upside down V crook of the peace sign at the base of my penis. Then I gently pull the penis back along the perineum with my other hand, you want to pull it pretty far back but don’t go nuts, you don’t need to pull it all the way back to your anus. As your holding your penis back up against your perineum your testicles should be able to stay inside the canals on their own freeing your index and middle finger to pinch/grab the empty scrotal tissue and roll it up around the shaft of the penis, like nestling a hot dog inside a hot dog bun. I find it helpful to think of the scrotal tissue I’m wrapping around the penis as labia, and it should look vaguely vaginal though that isn’t the point, rather it’s to ensure all the loose fleshy bits end up inside the gusset of your panty so they don’t get pinched. Continue holding all those bits together like that either with the hand you just used to wrap the penis or with your tightly closed legs and pull up the gaff to hold it all in place, move around a bit and adjust accordingly.

And that brings us to Gaffs. Holding it all in place with tape can be painful and ultimately wasteful, so I highly recommend investing in some good gaffs. A gaff is basically like a normal panty but with a few key differences. The are generally made with stretchy but compressive fabrics like, they have a wider gusset (the underside area that would typically cover the vagina or in this case your tucked penis), and they sometimes have some extra padding in the frontal pubis area. In a pinch you can use a swimsuit bottom or double up a pair of normal panties and then wear some tight jeans. There is a way to make a down and dirty DIY gaff out of an athletic sock and panty hose but I can’t vouch for how comfortable that is and it is certainly the least sexy option. Fortunately these days there are a number of good gaff makers out there (Etsy is a great place for this) and there’s almost too many to enumerate here. I recommend trying a few different styles out and seeing what works for you.

However, there is one gaff maker I do want to highlight because I think they are great for someone like you who is still trying to get the hang of it. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeoLines?ref=l2-about-shopname Now these are def not the sexiest gaffs but they are full proof. These are the gaffs I turn to when I need an ultra secure tuck that won’t need readjusting. I recommend starting the bikini style for going out and about and practicing at home with one in the thong style. The former is easy and if something is less than perfect about your tuck it’s unlikely to be an issue and the latter, because it’s a thong, will help you get the hang of keeping it all tight, particularly with wrapping the penis in the scrotal tissue, because if you don’t do it right it’ll get pinchy pretty quick but you can easily adjust it because your still at home. The other reason I recommend LeoLines as a starter gaff is because of the extra padding in the front and the amount of compression in the fabric which allows you to achieve the tucked effect without actually tucking (a lot of gaff makers will make that claim but it’s mostly BS with the exception being LeoLines). LeoLines also offers swimsuit gaffs and is the only gaff I know of that makes them in children’s sizes (this was a big deal for my trans niece cause she used to do gymnastics and loves to swim and wanted to wear the same stuff the other girls wore).

I also highly recommend every trans girl check Origami Customs! https://origamicustoms.com/collections/all-underthings/products/mesh-gaff-hipster-underwear They have gaffs in every style and size and even to custom fits. But they also have a sizing guid that’s helpful for buying regular underwear! Like, ever wonder why a particular style of panty never seems to fit right? It may not be your size but rather the shape of your butt!

Lastly, it’s very important to exercise a bit a common sense with tucking. It’s really important to take breaks. If your tucked during the day then you need to untuck at night, especially before going to bed. Once you’re farther along with your HRT and the testicles have shrunk this becomes somewhat less of an issue, at least pain-wise. It’s also important to take breaks and give your junk opportunities to air out, especially during the hotter seasons when you’re more prone to sweating. If you do too much tucking and you genitals don’t get any airflow at all, you could contract a fungal infection, ie Jock itch or other kinds of irritation. But if you don’t tuck when you go to bed, and maybe even give your self some time at home to be naked, you’ll be fine. I’ve gone through months long periods of tucking every single day, even at the gym, and never had any issues. I do recommend wearing softer gaffs if you just shaved your bikini area, gaffs like the ones on LeoLines can exacerbate shaving irritation but if you wait till the day after you shaved you’ll be fine.

And that’s basically it for my tucking advice! I hope that helps you anon!

Love,

Question, what happened to sneo wings and armor?

Snail kissies🐌💕

Thank you for the ask kisiel-z-kosmosu, and thank you for the snail kisses!! >_<

As his code became more and more corrupted with time tangled down in the basement and lack of food, his NEO suit began to glitch heavily until the armor and wings completely disappeared off of his body, snapping a few wires loose along with it. Of course he still has the armor and wings hidden deep in his mess of code somewhere, but it’s not there by default anymore and rarely surfaces.

Here in this drawing he’s already missing the wings since they were the first to go, but the armor hasn’t quite glitched off yet.

Hey idk if you've answered this but what is your art process and what do you use for traditional and digital art?

Honestly I don't even know but at the same time I know the processes are very similar. I'll try and do my best HSNFKAH

Digitally I like to just Do Whatever Feels Good so it's a very "trust the process" kind of thing. Mainly when I draw digitally though I'll start with this.

Basically just making rough shapes and then the details on different layers while changing the opacity.

In the case of traditional it's a LOT more casual and I really don't have a good explanation for it? Basically skipping the rough detail layer and instead going to a sort of rough sketchy look (which is what I've been doing traditionally mostly these days.)

Digital linework is where I correct my mistakes (most of the time, if it's something Not Serious like this it'll be a lot looser looking!) And most of the time that's actually kind of where it ends lol, most of the digital stuff you see from me nowadays is only finished stuff I put effort into.

But when I finish lineart I tend to delete the sketch layer entirely so I don't mistake it for something else, and then color under the lineart layer.

And in this case I decided to give you a rough idea of how I do my shadows+highlights? I don't do it All The Time but I put them on separate layers and play with the layer settings !!! Genuinely cannot advise this enough it's really nice and fun to just see what looks best. In this case though I used a basic multiply layer for the shadows and then on a layer above it placed a few highlights where a general light source would be coming from.

Something I highly suggest is doing what feels right to you in the moment. If you're itching for something that you haven't drawn before, look at photos of what you want and then try and memorize as much of the look as you can! It's a neat little exercise for stylization I've found out, but it's also super useful for when you need references too. Don't ever be afraid of them.

Going back to trad. art though. When I'm not working with very quick sketches with pen/pencil it can come in two ways: clean pencil drawing or something made with pen+marker.

I use mainly Sharpies for colored traditional pieces, and my secret is that if you're limited on colors, LAYER IT ON!!! One shade of a green can give you a decent shadow!!! I use Micron pens for lineart and a white gel pen to sneak in a few little highlights here and there. On paper I don't put much emphasis on light and instead focus on the shadow part (mainly because it's hard for me to figure out a good lighter color for things HAHSHSJAH)

But genuinely whatever you do I don't think having a "style" is perfectly fine. It's a fluid thing that's ever-changing for some and if you fall under that category it doesn't mean that you're not skilled! Play around, have fun, generally just see what looks cool and cooler :)

What’s Kanako’s opinion on Flowey in magical clover au

YAYAYAYAAYAYYAAYY I GET TO TALK ABOUT KANAKO IN MAGICAL CLOVER NOW THANK YOU!!

so! kanako is clover’s childhood friend who begins to pick up that something is up with clover. they seem to be talking to themself when they’re alone? and they seem more tired and on edge than usual. she asks about it, but clover passes it off as just being tired. which is technically true, because they fight against monsters trying to take their soul like every day.

one day, she pulls clover aside after school as they’re walking to talk about it. and that’s when she is nearly captured as ransom to get clover’s soul, but clover reveals their ability, and by doing so, flowey.

to (finally) answer your question, kanako is… conflicted about flowey. sure, he doesn’t seem bad, per say… but there’s just something off about him. her family has always been very in tune with magic, ceroba especially taking the time to teach her, and flowey just seems wrong somehow. he’s nice enough to her though, and does seem to be acting in clover’s best interest.

and for your troubles… a kanako reference for the au!

#she was so fun to color in i’m so happy with her color scheme #pink and yellow is my favorite color combination ^-^ #ask/answer #magical clover au #undertale yellow #chroma art #🌙

Sorry if you've been asked this before, but what is your policy when it comes to x reader fics?

Oh no, it's fine. My policy is simple:

SFW fanfictions and headcannons are written gender neutral as I write in the second person.

NSFW fanfictions and headcannons, on the other hand, I write depicting a female reader, unless otherwise directed. My full rules list can be found here.

Thanks for taking the time to inquire, and have a motivated day. 💜
