yeah, the problem is definitely the fact that this ask was sent multiple times, rather than the content of the ask.
and I dunno man, what made me think I could author and illustrate a children’s book published by Quarto Press?
what made me think I could create an exhibit for the Chicago Field Museum?
what made me think I could publish my poetry in literary magazines? (NO YOU’RE NOT GETTING EXAMPLES OF THIS BECAUSE I WAS A TEENAGER AND IT’S SO EMBARRASSING)
what made me think I could speak at a palaeontology conference and win an award for my presentation, beating out a phd student whose talk was about how he discovered a whole ass dinosaur?
what made me think I could do anything at all?
I think the problem isn’t that I believe in my ability to create, it’s that you lack belief in yourself. are you afraid that your own work will be judged, rejected, mocked? mine certainly has been, but I keep going. are you worried that your work will be immature, unpolished, outshone by better examples? mine certainly has been, and yet I continue to believe in my illustrations and writing.
what level of perfection do you need to reach before you value yourself? aren’t you allowed to be messy and human and passionate, and try things just because they’re fun?
anyways, I’m definitely not hiring you to play the mad sorcerer when this book gets turned into an HBO series after topping the New York Times Bestseller list 43 months in a row, so better luck next time.
your entire conversation history with kenma is just you texting him (sometimes a dozen messages in a row, spanning the course of hours or days) and him occasionally sending a link to a video of a kitten doing something weird with no accompanying message in reply
“Here Halara! I made you some of my coffee! Just like I did in Ginma! This will heal your body right up from your terrible cold!”
“I’m not sick Fubuki…it’s just allergies…”
Whew! I finally got this doodle done ;w; I have officially drawn all of the detectives of the Nocturnal Detective Agency at least once yay :3 I never thought I would tbh... x'D
I think Halara came out pretty good, but I think I could've done better on Fubuki ^^; This pose was complicated but once I got Halara to a nice pose, I had a bit of trouble with Fubuki x-x
Yet another ship I could kind of understand due to Fubuki's DLC.
How Halara suffered such an awful allergy attack? Lets just say that Fubuki took them to a cat cafe somewhere in Ginma...this was before she learned their deep dark secret. And Halara couldn't resist the cuteness so...they went anyway despite the penalty... x'D
Fubuki regrets it the minute Halara suffers a sneezing fit on the way back to base and has to lay down due to their head pounding from the sinuses. They end up not only with a runny nose and eyes, but they sadly got a few skin rashes too... yikes, the poor thing x-x; They make sure to have an extra sweet lollipop to help with their mood, as well as act as a substitute lozenge for their dry throat, some nasal spray for the stuffiness and an ice pack for their headache.
Fubuki tries to do whatever she can to help, even if the cause of it was her fault to begin with... xD And Halara cannot move much so...they just take whatever the ditzy time detective throws their way. Fubuki lovingly babysits the stuffy postcogditive detective while they recover.
This was my first time experimenting with allergies as an ailment so...I tried to read up on it before I drew so I could at least be accurate. Allergies isn't really the same thing as being ill. But it was still fun to draw it out :3
(tfw halara looks sicker than everyone else did... lmao improvement?)
Anyway, hope you enjoy this snack Clockmare Nation🩵🩷
