hey I have some advice for people that wish they could do more to support artists but maybe can’t do as much financially!!!
leave really positive comments on things you like, and make them as specific as possible.
Literally, nothing makes my day more than a comment that’s really taken the time to analyze my art and describe WHAT about it they liked. this is really helpful for artists for a couple reasons:
many artists have adhd, anxiety, or some other flavor of Brain Stuff, and either respond VERY VERY STRONGLY to praise or (unfortunately) maybe just have a hard time believing their art deserves praise (IT DOES!!)
when comments are specific, that’s sooooooo much more helpful to grow! It’s a lot easier to figure out what you’re doing successfully when people tell you what their favorite part of your art is. But it can also help when you notice your joke doesn’t seem to be landing or if people are reacting a lot differently than you were expecting, and then you can better gauge how to course correct for next time. What stood out to you? Was it visual, aka lines, color, stylization, or composition? Or was it more emotional, aka dialogue, expressions, or poses? How did you feel looking at it?
it feels nice HDHSHJFJD but it does! Plus it works out your art analysis brain a little bit, and you’ll get more precise the more you do it. I love being a little cheerleader in the tags of my friends’ art. Gas em up and give em kisses on the cheek.
Don’t get me wrong, I love all comments. I love people who I can tell make an effort to comment something, even if it’s just a keysmash or incoherent wailing or a simple “I really like this op!” I also LOVE comments that are funny “op you are feeding me like a baby bird” (I have a little folder for screenshots of my favorites heehee).
But, again, it is really appreciated when people give specific, analytic comments. those are comments that turn me into a weeping little puddle. And this is not a “if you never ever comment you’re evil” post, it’s just saying if you do, we notice and thank you for it!

"I don't like how you drew the gums but the art is cool" "I don't understand why you ship this but the art is cute" "this is so weird and creepy but nice drawing" "I hate this character but I'm reblogging for the other one" "I ship [way more popular ship] but this is kinda good" "the hands are so weird and gross but the drawing is good" "this character is [insert specific self projection hc] to me but I like it either way"

honestly it would be so fucking funny if alecto = nona and that’s just her personality. everyone’s like she’s crazy shes evil she’s gonna kill god and then you pan over to alecto and she’s making a daisy chain. turns out the ogs didn’t like her bc she was too nice and that was actually the outlier. she made them all presents by hand and they were like that’s it she’s gotta go

Hello!
First of all, I hope you're well. I didn't know where to write to you so I saw that you usually check Tumblr asks, so here I go.
I've been reading your fanfic since July, more or less, and I really liked it. I know that AO3 gives you the option to download fanfics in different formats, but it's very relaxing for me to edit text in epub/mobi, so I've been editing your fanfic since August to have it on the Kindle. Just copy and paste the text and add the italics. I have taken the liberty of adding the images that you have put at the end of each chapter.
The reason I am sending you this is that I would like to know if you want the epub/mobi file (I have both). Take it as a kind of gift, for warming my heart with your fanfic (and your art). I hope this didn't bother you, if so, I apologize and I won't share the file with anyone (I really did it for personal use). If, on the other hand, you want it, I'll be happy to send it to you/share a link to drive/mega. If you want me to change or add anything (another image, author's note, etc.) to the file, just tell me. It already has metadata and table of contents.
Thank you for writing such a beautiful story (and sorry if there are any errors, English is not my native language).
P.S. Here are some photos of what it looks like on Kindle and the cover I made. I hope you like them.
Oh wow!! That is so cool! I must be honest and admit I'm not entirely sure what epub/mobi is, I'm not a kindle user, but it looks great! I'd love if you send the file(s?) my way. I thought I had messages open for everyone, but apparently not whoops - That should hopefully be fixed now.
It's genuinely so flattering that you took the time to convert it. And look at that cover!! I got so excited when I saw that. Thank you so much - and thanks for reading! <3
(don't worry about mistakes, my native language isn't English either lol)

Catholic not-Catholic girl who instantly triggers the game over screen if you so much as say say “hi” to her. Lillie’s design is simple but with a lot of personality so she’s one of those characters that’s kind of addictive to draw lol

lets play a game
i love love love qsmp and I love seeing all these different languages but, as a native english speaker, it's getting a bit monolingual in here, so let's shake it up a bit!!
Find a qsmp post you like, art, meta, whatever, and leave a comment on it or tag in a language you are not fluent in. ideally choose one of the languages in the qsmp, but I know some of you are frighteningly multilingual, so i leave it up to your discretion.
See someone reply to one of your posts in a language you don't know? Try to respond to them in kind! how long can you keep a convo going? how many words can you learn? can you make that artist happy-cry with sentence fragments alone?
reblog this post to spread the game, then hunt through the notes or the qsmp tag for your very first target! have fun and happy language-ing
