[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]
Shading study that quite literally came to me in a dream two weeks ago, after this post apparently beamed itself into my mind
(also a few edits below the cut! they're very slight but whatever :])
[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]

…would you still be called a deserter if you abandon your post at the Grand Geode? They’re still technically a military operation but would the title of deserter carry any weight? …Is abandoning your post at the Grand Geode still treason?

tagged by @bootheminiaturegiantspacehamster to do this oc quiz about tragic archetype of love! :) thank you hehe 💗 (tagging anyone who wants to do this, feel free)
vaeril’s result:
03. cupid’s brother sister
-> “you have been love adjacent all your life. the faint spill of another story that softly grazed your shoulders when stood too close. whether by design or not, you have yet to build a clear image of what love means to you. the interlocked weaving of a picture locket bound to strand of hair when hugged too tight, the sunpatch that meets your soles in glaring sun dried fields when running with a friend. you are not far from love, but moving between line of collision and avoidance at all times. a faint glimmer on sea lake surface of what could be. there is time to find what you want, find whether it’s enough as is. love is in you, breathing in another day. continue as you are, realizing the love that is slowly blossoming in your life as it sharpens and clears in brushstrokes.”

How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?
oh yes, definitely! i'm always happy to talk about my fics c: i'd honestly probably ramble forever about them if i didn't think it'd bore people lol
What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
general writing advice that i stand by is: read a whole heck of a lot. keep reading. read different genres and writing styles.
for fic in specific i'd say: write what you yourself want to read. if you're engaged in what you're doing your readers will be too c: (plus you'll just be having a better time lol)
also kind of more general advice but: write a lot. keep practicing and trying out new things (writing from different characters' povs; writing things you feel you're not great at--i see a lot of fic authors say they're not great at action scenes, for example; trying out a different tense or perspective than you usually use; etc etc.) but really, the more you practice the better you'll get, like that's incredibly basic advice but it's true lol.
also bonus general advice that i personally think is helpful but ymmv: read poetry. try to write poetry if you don't already. there's so much you can learn about rhythm, word choice, imagery, etc etc that will really enrich your prose. it's actually something that i lowkey kind of keep regretting, that i stopped writing poetry, but i also think that it helped my prose TREMENDOUSLY, can't recommend it enough.
(all of this is kind of general writing advice actually uh. i guess something concrete that is fic specific: if you're concerned with character voice, pay very close attention to how the character speaks in the source material. word choice, formality, sense of humor (do they have one lol), do they use expletives, are they verbose or not, etc etc. there's an additional dimension of: would they have knowledge about XYZ? is having that character make certain pop culture references going to seem natural or out of place? do they have expertise in a certain area that is going to come up in their speech (using jargon a lot, for example)? do they LACK knowledge of certain things that would make itself known in conversation with other characters? etc etc.)
tho tbh i think that translates well to thinking about consistent characterization and character voice in original writing too, can't get away from general advice lol.

───ㅤ»ㅤwhat does your heart look like?
YOUR RESULT:
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ* A GUIDING, GOLDEN LIGHT.
Just because you cannot see your own heart doesn’t mean that others can’t. Your heart is blinding, captivating, a fire so bright that others can’t bring themselves to look away. It illuminates the path they follow and cements you as a guiding star for their own wayward hearts. Every experience you’ve lived through has built your lighthouse heart up just a little higher. You are inspirational, a light that doesn’t go out.
and─
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ* A TANGLED BALL OF RED STRINGS.
Who are you without the company of others? You aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is. You are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. Many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. Your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. It can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. You deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place. You don’t have to be everything to everyone.
