#but i promise u i am working on it !!!

[inkskinned]

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.

#every time someones like ''AI will replace u" im like. u will have to fucking KILL ME #there is no replacement here bc i am not filling a position. i am just writing #and the writing is what i need to be doing #writeblr #this probably doesn't make sense bc its sooo frustrating i rarely speak it the way i want to #edited for the typo wrote it and then was late to a meeting lol #i love u people who mention my typos genuinely bc i don't always catch them!!!! :) it is doing me a genuine favor!!! #my friend says i should tell you ''thank you beta editors'' but i don't know what that means #i made her promise it isn't a wolf fanfiction thing. so if it IS a wolf thing she is DEAD to me (just kidding i love her) #hey PS PS PS ??? if ur reading this thinking what it's saying is ''i am financially capable of losing this'' ur reading it wrong #i write for free. i always have. i have worked 5-7 jobs at once to make ends meet. #i did not grow up with access or money. i did not grow up with connections or like some kind of excuse #i grew up and worked my fucking ASS OFF. and i STILL!!! wrote!!! on the side!!! because i didn't know how not to!!! #i do not write for money!!!! i write because i fuckken NEED TO #i could be in the fucking desert i could be in the fuckken tundra i could be in total darkness #and i would still be writing pretentious angsty poetry about it #im not in any way saying it's a good thing. i'm not in any way implying that they're NOT tryna kill us #i'm saying. you could take away our jobs and we could go hungry and we could suffer #and from that suffering (if i know us) we'd still fuckin make art. #i would LOVE to be able to make money doing this! i never have been able to. but i don't NEED to. i will find a way to make my life work #even if it means being miserable #but i will not give up this thing. for the whole world.

let’s talk ab flustered, beefy and inexperienced pro hero!deku who is flushed pink to the tips of his ears, he thinks you're so pretty and is so nervous around you… he might be going insane with the way your lips wrap around him, he had no idea your tongue could feel that good. his head is spinning and he’s cumming down your throat so fast, your mouth is just - so warm and perfect.. you're perfect and he is in utter bliss, surrounded by you, mind clouded with thoughts of what you could do to him, what he wants to do to you.

pro hero!deku who stumbles out praises at every given opportunity and god, they’re so sincere. he's so observant and obsessed, of course he's gonna be specific when he compliments you, there's so much to say but now his eyes are rolling back with the way your throat squeezes around his cock n he almost misses the tears falling from your eyes at his length. he can’t stop groaning out endless compliments n when he realizes how much you get off on it all? you’d feel his cock is twitching in your mouth, he’s reveling in your choked whines n his brain is buzzing on the realization that praising you makes your hole squeeze him tighter. you were made for him and he has to tell you.

pro hero!deku who has amazing hands but absolutely no idea how to use them, as if he won't go insane trying. izuku, who lacks in skill but makes up in determination and dedication. he takes notes on what you like and what you don't n he craves figuring out how to make you cum just as quickly as you made him. he might be inexperienced but he’s going to figure out a way to make you see stars.

#he’s yummy #wanted to talk ab him w yall #): his big green eyes lookin at u all starry eyed like he isn’t the prettiest pear around #wahhhh #deku smut #midoriya smut #izuku smut #bnha smut #mha smut #izuku midoriya smut #; bnha #; izuku #❕writing #❕thirst #if u think u’ve read smth similar to this before. it was mine. i deleted it like a goof. i am not stealing work pinky promise #; q

been working on answering a prompt i received in an ask the other day, and so i'm back thinking about... the Thing... 💖🎀 and thought maybe prompt doodles might help me work through this a little?

so uhhh.... if by any wild chance anyone has any ship suggestions for starstruck...??? feel free to send them through!

#this is *only* for starstruck and is not general requests! i'm just trying to figure out how i feel about this 😳 #obviously no guarantees that i will be confident enough to draw any of these or that i'll enjoy them all but i just... am considering it? #idk idk idk is this stupid.... #hope i won't regret this or won't get genuinely weirdass things. #just to be transparent this is sfw exclusively tho implied flirting is a-okay. please don't be weird....? i'm trusting folks to be nice!! #i would also happily take little prompts if you have thoughts about how it would work or whichever! like if you're a character Understander #if you have an idea how it would Work or what it might Be Like that would also help me to get a concept on how i feel about it!! #also i would.. consider ocs (only from their creator) if you... wanna??? character+artist *must* be an adult. starstruck is in her early 30 #also with ocs preferably from folks who i've at least interacted with before and like.. not just bc u want art ;;; #like... do u geniunely think they could have a cute dynamic? i'm just wondering if she could be Cute w someone. AUUghhGHHHH #again no promises and also for now i need this all done on the assumption it's just for fun!! just funsies. i'm just... thinking i guess! #want to try and figure out what it might be like if she WAS involved in a little ship/romo space...? as a treat? auughghhggghGHGLLG #also fair warning i may just get super embarrassed/nervous about this all and delete!! but i'm.. yknow. trying! #also i figure you can kind of tell my faves and who i hardly know much about. might not have lots of feelings about most side chars! #delete later #probably #wheeeeeEEEEeeahahahah okay;;; just post it. just post it starflung. just do it. hit the button hit the button hit the b

I'm just gonna say this right now

Based on that lost media short that became found media

"starscreams fantasy"

I wholeheartedly believe starscream would make megatron wear a playboy bunny outfit while he serves him drinks

He literally calls him his "personal servant"

Bro legit wants megan on his knees, praising him, worshipping him AND his robo coc

HE IGNORES BLACKARACHNIA- SHE IS In CHAINS AND FOR WHAAAAAAAAAT

BRUH

THAT MAN WANT ASS

Life is a fuckig. Ouroboros snake where socializing is exhausting and I need to isolate to recover, but also I have so many people I love dearly and spending time with them keeps me aliev OTL

#work was EXHAUDSTING so I need alone time but also I’ve been neglecting so many friends and I feel awful abt it :( #if ur reading this I promise I’m not avoiding u bc I don’t like u. I am just overwhelmed by everything lately

THIS IS HUMANITIES 11TH HOUR I THINK KIAN WAS RIGHT. THERE WAS SO MUCH HE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER BUT HE DID IT FOR GREAT REASON. THEIR RELATIONSHIP MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL. EVEN THE ECHO OF SOMEONE IS IN LOVE WITH YOU, AND THE ECHO OF YOU LOVES THEM TOO. they COPIED A HUMAN DOWN TO THEIR BASIC CIRCUTRY AS A SURVIVAL INSTINCT AND THE VERY WIRES STILL LOVE YOU. ITS THE ATMOSPHERE. ITS THE DISCORDANT AND SAD YET YEARNING CORDS IN THE AIR AS THE SKY REDDENS. ITS A WISH FOR SOMETHING MORE, PRESSING AGAINST INEVITABLE GLASS, CLEARLY NO HOPE OF CONTINUING OR BLOSSOMING. A PAINTING OF A MEMORY THEY WANT TO BE MAKING WITH NO CONCLUSION.

HEY update timeline info!

ik i’ve been sharing more snippets lately and that is because my life has finally quieted down a bit (i finished the two giant massive huge projects i’ve been working on at my job for the last two months! one was a poster w the most detailed illustration i’ve ever done! like i spent 20+ hours on that bitch! & the other was a 40-page magazine i art directed & designed by myself from scratch! and now they are both DONE and subsequently have taken on the role of being my biological children! AND i actually followed through & uploaded them both to my portfolio site in a timely fashion!) so now i have lots more creative energy to work on writing chapter 9 🕺🕺

no set date bc i don’t do those, but since it’s been a while i just wanted to update u that it’s coming along easier now! 💞💖💕💗💕💖💞

#hey sharpshooter #i don’t apologize for how long it takes me to update #but it has been a hot second #so let me reassure the group that i am #never #abandoning this fic i pinky promise #if u could see this poster and this magazine i swear to god u would understand #one is my illustration magnum opus the other is my editorial design magnum opus #they took every last ounce of my brain power and energy but they are beautiful #my greatest work probably #and now i can write my dumb gay fanfic #i love it here

finally made a ref of That Freaking Froge

i mostly remade it bc i was tired of looking at him eat pizza off the floor

#my art #fuwawa #orikero #sgt frog #keroro gunso #uhmmm also the raygun is modded to shoot his weird gas capsules (they contain different gasses and stick to things which then release gas) #which is why his mask of choice is gas mask #also his scars are from his crash landing + not having the faculties to stitch himself up properly so healing wrong #you can let him in your house i promise hes a normal keronian #his hands r lighter bc of Chemical Burns and his peets r stained bc. walking thru rubbles #i lov u little nuclear man #also trying to get arts done but i have limited time after work and some rqs take a lot of thinking #so uhmmm srry for delay ^^; #i will work on Lots of Arts... on Wednesday... i work a lot OTL #those chickens need frying and i am da one who must fry them
