[inkats]

merry yaoimas mutuals. (in order, for @starredforlife, @vampyr-bats, maymerdoodle on insta, @littlemoondarling, @bmpmp3) (all of you make such cool stuff I hope you like em <3)

#every single one of these is in a different style oTL anyway a little bit to say about all of them : #i always draw al and lupa oTL i wanted to draw someone else but. they came out. i love them and am thinking about them. too much. always. #similar story w the val as i started out trying to draw spade and harrow and then. him. hes very. hes so. <3 <3 #youre probably not gonna see this on here macie but i love them. i think. women <3 thank you. #disney princess dave ive wanted to draw this for a while i think hes fun! hes neat!! #i was intending to scroll through ur artblog for a guy but then. ezra. hes cute he needs cat cuddles on a couch i think. <3 #hello yes see i draw #digital art #Other mutuals I also love y’all I simply started these late so didn’t have time and or am intimidated by you #<- not in a bad way more like anticmiscellany follows me on insta and what could I possibly make that would. Wah. #There are some of you that intimidate me that way. So I thought about it and then was like I cannot do this justice #I couldn’t do justice for these either tbh all y’all’s art is sooooo good it’s insane that any of you like mine <3

bro they take up a large portion of space in my brain these days i've been strongly thinking about it

#just a lil intimidated bc i've never written another ship & i Must understand their dynamic first #in like a. how does the fandom interpret this ship & does it differ from my own thoughts way #i've been reading fics so it's been inch resting so far #anyway i am open to ideas/prompts/what the fandom wants to see more of #hope you're having a lovely day #asks #caitvi #arcane

looking for gifs and saw these four all together…

top two show him in love (with will) and bottom two show him kiddie crushing (on eddie). there’s a comfortableness and deep love in the first ones that the other two don’t have, which in place of show a giddy admiration. he looks up to eddie and he feels equal to will. such a subtle yet obvious difference! the quality of finn wolfhard’s acting everybody

#I am stanley in the corner #I had a bit of a moment when I saw this lol #like we know we know #but 4.01 is so genius in the way it shows mikes sexuality #aside from all the hints like when he’s looking for someone to join dnd and his room decor etc we’ve never seen him have a crush before #ik it’s only subtextual it’s not canon canon but we’ve seen dustin and lucas and other characters crushing on ppl #but not mike yet. he’s never looked at anyone like that not even will (cuz it’s different) like he’s clearly intimidated by eddie #as is dustin #he’s a bit on edge around him #but he looks at him and the lyrics of fever playing and how he acts in contrast to dustin in that scene is telling #and then comparing it to one’s with will #he’s so comfortable with will #and he’s prob one of the only ppl that doesn’t make him feel inferior #random thoughts spilling out but yeah #mike wheeler #byler #gay mike wheeler

When receiving adopt orders, do people prefer them being posted in the thread with a ping, or getting them in PMs? I’ve been doing the former partly to have ample examples in my shop, partly because it also bumps the thread, and partly because it keeps my PMs slightly more organized. But sometimes I get so many forum pings I start missing stuff, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the people getting adopts from me are in a similar boat… in which case PMs would help make sure they actually get the art they paid for even if they miss my ping. I’d prefer to stay more or less consistent since it makes things way easier on my end, at least during the times when the shop gets busier

#flight rising #surge talks #honestly to get the best sense it’d probably be better to ping my shop list #and ask them to fill out a short survey or somethin #but I don’t wanna ping them until I have something for them (open sponsor slots or a new base or whatever) #having that many people on a shop pinglist is slightly intimidating. i don’t wanna bother them unnecessarily #side note do non-dragon usd comms get any traction on fr? #i get an alright number with w101 folks it’s a different crowd #my hours got cut at work (it’s slow this time of year) so i’m a little… hmm #but I am way better at human/humanoid art than dragons

the dictionary informs me that the h in héros is aspirated while the h in the related adjective héroïque is not. yeah, likely story. am i a joke to you? am i being punk'd?

#bad enough that apparently houille is aspiré and huile is muet when i for some reason thought it was the other way around #but at least those are from different roots (even if the meanings are semantically related enough that i sometimes get them confused) #but le héros vs l'héroïque? are you joking me right now? #french #my posts #this came up because i saw the phrase 'l'héroïque' in voyage au centre de la terre and was like 😒 wait a second.... #i am looking forward to seeing if i can spot any patterns in the dictionary #but i'll be real with you this has thrown some water on the embers of my hope :( #if even these two related words can't agree on h aspiration then what hope do the rest of us have? #i guess there's only one thing for it. diving back into the extremely intimidating world of french diachronic phonetics #may glorb have mercy on my soul

Fixing my dialog up

Blurgh

#speculation nation #itnl shit #the struggle of writing a new character is conceptualizing their Voice #gotta settle those sliding scales down #i had formality scale too formal i think. hes kind of formal but in a pretentious way. not a true formality. #a little bit stilted in speech. trying to intimidate. trying to seem like hes got the upper hand always #talking down to people. like theyre lesser than him. #seemingly unflappable. at least at this point in the story. just a bastard man with a bastard plan. #im cross referencing manga dialog rn. i wrote originally with the 98 anime dub voice in mind #which has some Vibes but is less concrete #im going for concrete now. gotta finalize this fucking dialog. #once i smooth it out then i can go tie up the end of the scene #and Then i start the formal overall edit sweep for general coherency and consistency #as well as looking for any minor mistakes i couldve missed in earlier editing sweeps #aka. my usual process lol #i am just squinting angry bitch annoyance at this fuckin bastard man. trying to figure out how he talks #it's kind of difficult to figure out the minor differences due to Things and how that would actually go into effect #what they dont tell u about writing is that it is so very hard actually. god damn.

haven't started jane eyre yet....... 👁️👁️

#i am very intimidated by it for some reason. even though i have read books that are just as long or even longer #i think going back to classics after something contemporary has something to do with it too #like. they take a different amount of mental capacity (for me). if that even makes sense? #wuthering heights fucked me up so badly that that might be the actual reason i'm intimidated lmfaooo #and i don't mean the story but the way it is written #the bronte sisters are out to get me #tbh i haven't heard much about jane eyre 🤔 but i'm excited i promise #i have a midterm tomorrow so i'll probably study for that (???) and start the book during the weekend #cami.txt

people are saying most of y'all messi stans are intimidating and messy. the only good thing about y'all are the fire urls. how do yo feel about that?

I don’t know if I’m considered a Messi stan?? I mean, I would consider myself one but I know some people make a distinction between what they call like average messi stans (which is where I’d place) and the “Messi FC” stans, so I don’t know if that description is referring to the latter or just to all Leo stans akkaksks

I don’t know, tbh I don’t see how anyone could find me intimidating because I’m literally just here vibing and all my posts give out 90% anxiety vibes akskkd I do not give out cool girl vibes at all, or at least I don’t think I do

#also don’t know if my url would be considered fire by anyone else but me AKKSKSKW #now THATS what i am: a García Pimienta FC stan #basically to sum up I have no opinion I don’t think anyone has ever thought of me as intimidating but maybe I am to some people??? i doubt #i also don’t have a generalized ‘messi stans are x way’ stance bc all the Leo fans I follow are VERY different (some very cool girl vibes #others very friendly vibes others other way etc etc) #ask #anón #answered

every time I see Piepoe, I drop to my knees and start sobbing /positive

#I will not lie - Piepoe intimidated me only because “different bad” #piepoe brought something new to the tag #but swallowed my anxiety and looked through the blog..... #and it's so wholesome and nice in there #I don't know why I felt such a strong fear! it's so sweet!! #I felt the same way about 0scum's artstyle too - intimidated cuz it's 'different' #but I did it!! I overcame anxiety!! and I love them lots /pla #go and be free......... #anyway I hope you don't mind my confessions - I wanted it to be a bit of a lesson to not turn ur nose up at something new all the time #at your own pace of course! #both artists are very good and insp me lots #I hope this doesn't come across as rude - but because they post what they post... it makes me feel less like MY stuff isn't allowed? #like if they're allowed to be so self indulgent #so am I! yknow?? #I fear being 'bad' but - it's pizza tower of all heckin things

[spamsandsuch]

okay silly question.. who am i to you people

#not fanon #asking only cuz im curious! its interesting to hear how people perceive me on here #(people being anybody tbh though more likely my followers on this blog lol) #like am i just some obscure spamton artist like occasionally shows up on your dash and everytime i do its a fucked up drawing #or just some random person you followed #or perhaps.... a secret third thing........... #like i dont really talk abt myself on here that much so of course im gonna leave like an impression to users thats different than mine #cuz tbh i just see myself as some guy (ungendered) that makes a bunch of fanon stuff abt spamton #but i dunno if other ppl see me that way #i hope im seem nice at least... i dont wanna seem like im intimidating to talk to #especially through asks

also i just want to say as a stem major who normally makes self-taught art as a hobby and is taking a real art class for the first time. fine arts majors are scary

#not to say this class isn't fun. it's a lot of fun. and i like the people #but i am so weirdly intimidated by the people doing it for like. a major. and not an elective #i think the way they use language is just so different than how i approach it #i am very fascinated by this little window into the ecosystem of the fine arts program coming from geosciences #i don't UNDERSTAND you people

H*rry J*mes & Fr*nk S*natra's version of 'My Buddy' C'MON— NEED I SAY MORE???????????????????????

#yes i am absolutely saying John would like this #a song hed keep to himself..... #(m.iii) #j.d. #also dont laugh at me tagging this with #l/j #sksksksksk its my side blog where i get to be mushy #and i mean technically this makes sense for them in the main sense of the song and but also ♡ #okay cause i dont think ppl will be seeing this again allow me to continue rambling #this version came out in '39!! (john would only have been 6!!) (i think hes born '33) so he definitely could have stumbled into this #while in high school or whatever and as i think he would be quite a fan of fs he would definitely pick up the record #and just him laying in his bed maybe one day; skipping his church responsibilities and just quietly listening #its from a ww song but of course this resonates with john in such a different degree #hes a kid hearing this intimidate moment sung by another man for anothet man; even if he knows its not suppose to be romantic #hes just in shock...in awe...as he keeps listening and listening in some ways he feels guilty #hes been raised a religious boy....this isnt right especially hes taking a WAR song and making it abt this #b4 anyone comes home he tucked it away safely away from prying eyes #getting ready to explain to his mom why hes home; swim ran late; he decided to help out; yada yada #also i think this would have happened when stuff has already came up before making it that much more scary but that much more fulfilling #and special #i think john is a very interesting character and i truly appreciate how emotional he is and i think you can just do a lot with him #idk i rlly hold close to me this hc bc i rlly like it & see it for john and so much comes with it especially growing up in this time period #so yeah a lot of him in his head i feel as home wasnt too good hed have his mother but not with stuff like this #as i feel shed be far too religious #ummmmm okay i think i got this out of my system #oh one thing like yes hes over emotional but also my god would he still have been a little asshole while growing up and have that #like snarkiness to him but ohmygod thsts still so painfully john /affectionate

"what if i go abroad and end up sad and lonely there!!!!!! :(((("

"you're already sad and lonely here too"

#im not here a lot recently but not because im going thru an identity crisis or anything 😭 insert it's fine meme #im so fucking scared of. everything about the future rn and on top of that i keep questioning myself in many ways :< #and i mean GOOD questioning myself is good right? it is supposed to set me in the right path right? but it's so tiring and frustrating 😭 #i get so stressed over stupid things #i keep thinking if i want to do this i have to do it right. and i mean yeah but also like #it's all sooo scary and intimidating uhuhuhu ive never even lived alone!!!! can i even survive that!!!!! #but all in all. i sincerely hope that i will be posting about my one way ticket to a different country these times next year xox #love and light and such. it's scary but so is living in this country at this point!!! #next year's elections i wanna be in the mood like. well if my country fucks this up YET AGAIN i wont be here to experience it first hand <3 #let's hope i wont have too many breakdowns down the way tho!!!! #im so sjsjdjjdd let's continue konmari-ing my room sjsnsjdjjdjfhf :< #🗒 #idek why i wrote this but i will keep making arguments against my silly brain whenever i feel like chickening out #btw identity crisis thing is totally unrelated to all this like it's about different stuff so it's another stressor rn #well. time to cognitive dissonance my way thru it until i am able to process it better!!! <3
