#i think the first draft was finished in like... a year?

Ryuji having the worst bi crisis of his fucking life bc his mom just had to fucking ask “oh, whats this young ladys name?” when he showed her a picture of Akira petting Morgana. Like okay yeah Akira is like objectively pretty, hes like the Classic Delicate Pretty Boy just like Yusuke which is like whatever; straight dudes have eyes, and they know what women like to see. But now hes like. Seeing things he likes in girls IN Akira now and he cant make it Stop like its genuinely keeping him up at night 😭

Pretty boy used to be A Face that would come up in his mind when he thought of the term. There was no specifics in mind, just like. Pretty Boy. Pretty boy! You say that and theres like a Face Template that shows up in ur minds eye and hed just attribute that to any dude who was like Vaguely Pretty. But now its Akira 😭 and he finds himself cataloging things that Akira does that he KNOWS he finds cute when girls do it. The hairtuck behind the ears. The headtilt when he mishears a question. The Actually Pretty Doe Eyes. The breathy, nearly inaudible chuckle he does in place of a Real laugh (thats made better by the fact that its so hard to get him to laugh in the first place). He likes cute snacks. He blushes easily. Ryuji is sitting here like ‘theres no fucking way man. Like theres just no way. That shit makes NO sense (a lie)’ lying in bed in the middle of the night looking like this vvvv w his phone in his hands (looking at pictures of akira)

It drives him insane bc like he did Not see any of these things as like inherently girly or whatever. Like thats just akira thats just his bro! And he does OTHER weird shit that cancels all that shit out. Hes like a messy engineer/tinkerer, he rolls out of bed and whatever situation his hair is is everyones problem. He wears that AWFUL gym uniform and doesnt tweak it AT ALL?? He likes baseball?? hes got a whole binder of trading cards that he will show off if u show any moment of weakness. Like hes just Some Dude but also manages to be Some Girl at the same time and Ryuji is like thats not fair. Life sucked ass but at least it made sense before Akira stumbled into it 😭

#persona 5 #pegoryu #akiryu #chattin #long post #THIS one is almost a year old lmao its been in my drafts for a while #i at least tagged it as pegoryu before running away cutely so i think i was finished ??? well now i am throwing it into the world #anyway. akira is the guy ever. and ryuji is exploding #‘i have died. badly’ #i like thinking of akira like this; hes ryujis first exposure to nb ppl and gnc adjacent stuff #even if akira is p masc by most standards hes still got a bit of. aloofness. about his gender stuffs #ryuji is just really into the way akira carries himself #and it takes him a while to go oh. oh i think its cause i like this dude #um. #😳. #also i wanted to clarify #but ryujis mom just doesnt know Who akira is in that picture #and in my head hes like. looking down at mona and petting him (while sitting) #(AND hes with ann and theyre both kind of a distance away from the camera) #so at a quick glance; hes just Some Girl #and even though shes wrong; it kicks off the mental chaos olympics in ryujis head #‘what hes not a girl’ to ‘where would she even get that from’ to ‘well akira said himself he didnt rlly care what ppl thought about it’ #to ‘well. where DID she get that from?’ to lookin at what his homie does a little closer to ‘aw fuck. man.’ #but i love that for him #ALSO. RYU/GORO IN TAGS….. #but ryuji going oh my GOD oh my godddd 😨😓😓😓 when something clicks in his head about goro #his voice is so practiced and naturally softspoken and his public facing persona is very demure #and once he gets past the initial anger over goro being a pompous prick who shittalks about the thieves. hes like. god fucking dammit. #There Is A Pattern and A Type He Has and Its Killing Him To Realize it. #hes literally sitting in his room w his head in his hands

#homestuck #hs #jade harley #becquerel #bec #do people actually tag the dog #fun fact i had sketch for this piece for like. half of a year? i made it somewhen in summer i believe #tried to redrew it and figured the initial draft was ok and finished in one day. hooray #i'd say Jade's strife is my favorite one but there isn't much to choose among #so it's probably more correct to say it's one of my favorite interactive scenes #of. the first acts because i think there are more i can't remember offhand #anyway Sunslammer is a banger of an ost!!! i think there's even. space jazz vibes? whats the name. #also i did lazy shade'n'lighting here and actually fine with it #also i had to rewatch the scene before finishing the piece and auoeuegh i miss the first acts :^( #these kids are so sweet i like reading their interactions! dave and jade were fun! no matter if you see them as a ship or not #i like how it's visible that they are a friend group #amyway. i should reread homestuck #(had to reschedule this so i could have a little more time for fanarting ig)

Ada and Annette’s interaction is so underrated. I love them. They sound like two high school mean girls from rival friendship groups, or whatever the equivalent is in the resident evil universe.

#this has been sitting in my drafts FOR OVER TWO YEARS #I need to play re2r again soon #it’s probably my fave of all the remakes #I don’t include 1 because that’s more a remaster #although I still have to finish my professional playthrough on 4r and separate ways first #fuck it maybe I’ll take a break from that #anyways #weskerfied try not to ramble in the tags challenge #annette birkin #ada wong #resident evil 2 remake #resident evil 2 #Annette has the biggest mean girl vibes #“I’m warning you doctor” “oh yeah?” *proceeds to light a body on fire #she’s like come on Ada why don’t you fuck around and find out #they both just rile each other up and I love it #even if it’s a tiny segment of the game and they converse like 3 times #I just love their interaction UGH #I genuinely can’t think of a better comparison than two popular girls who hate each other lmao #and Leon is just the kid who seems to be involved in all the drama unwillingly #william is the weird kid who does questionable shit and everyone is lowkey scared of him #tag yourself I’m Will #hmmm thinking about a high school au now

Very stupid getter thing I’m thinking about as it’s such a minor detail but my brain is circling around how color is used in the series, more specifically for the robot.

Color palettes for your badass giant robot mean everything but the color choices in Getter are *very* important as it was the first-and few-robots to have multiple different forms in one, and are all compromised of jets to make the robot.

The designs needed to be consistent with this aspect, having the Getters color palette use all three individual colors of the jets. What’s noteworthy about the colors used is the robots almost follow using the primary colors of red, blue and yellow, but the blue is swapped out for white. This was likely due to a better color balance, as while the primary colors would work if the robots weren’t individually joined but still a group, keeping in mind the concept of how they form from jets the blue would likely clash too much with red and yellow, where as white makes it all smoothly come together.

Nearly every Getter set since tries to follow this tradition of using red, white and yellow in there palettes, but aside from a few obvious exceptions for Getters that were meant to stick out-like Neo/Go, as that robot doesn't run on getter rays so the palette was changed drastically to reflect its nature-the most obvious example of a traditional Getter breaking this tradition and going for blue over white is Getter Robo G.

While each and every Getter has its own factors to stand out and differentiate itself, the G line for simply having one small color change really sets it apart. Especially with its OG design above, it’s hard to not notice its version of Getter Two (Liger) had a color change that affects the whole palette. So people either love or hate G for this, even if later takes of its design like Armageddon, try to tweak the colors to be more visually appealing by keeping it strictly to the main color of the respective jet. (This also carrying over for Shin Getter in the show)

But why do I mention any of this? Well I was in fact thinking about this regarding Arma and Getter 2, but less on the actual designs itself and more so a rather small yet likely intentional detail: How Kei is associated with the color blue before it’s even shown that she pilots Shin Liger. From her own promo art with Shin 2 having her being colored in blue despite Go and Gais colors being their respective robot, to her pilot suits having blue shoulder pads to match with Liger, which we see before the robot even appears. (Yes I’m using a SRW art instead of a show shot, just deal with it lol)

This is such a small detail but the team likely had probably a rough idea of what to do with Shin Dragon, so seeing them giving small hints to the viewer-albeit one has to see a art of this prior to know lol-before it even happens is pretty cool. Just goes to show how much insane detail Getter has across its series.

#meg text #getter robo armageddon #getter robo g #my first ramble of the year and it’s a fucking mess LOL #(I was tempted to delete it after until I looked at the time and went “I don’t wanna waste time like this”) #I do wanna make a more in depth post about the build up to go team piloting shin dragon but need my thoughts organized #by which I need to make a whole google doc for it (which I tried and deleted for some fucking reason bc I’m dumb) #hopefully it still in my deleted drafts but probably not (but I didn’t finish so eh) #rants aside my autistic brain was just thinking so hard about this because arma really like it’s pilot suit colors #I think about how ryomas team also has their scarves be the corresponding colors to their robots… love that #the go teams shoulder pads is a nice parallel to that but I like how between all pilots hayato and kei are the ones not to match #simply because liger stands out but that fits with kei so well because she’s the one pilot on the team who’s a girl #yet her suit is also white so it’s not like she doesn’t entirely not match with hayato lol

the seventh virtue drafting journey is soooo crazy to me bc I did the 10k day in may 2021 & then exactly a year later I was 60k into the manuscript & then from august 2022 to early march 2023 (a tiny bit over 6 months) I wrote the remaining 138 000 words LOL

#138K IN SIX MONTHSSSSSSSSSSS??????????? #HUHHHHH #did I do the math wrong on that #I don't think so??? the graph literally has a spike LOL #I was working on feeding habits between this I think? tho I think mostly short stories #I'm not kidding tho I took AN ENTIRE YEAR off from feeding habits LOL (july 2021 to june 2022) #anyway I should go through my stats in a video I think it'd be interesting to show that diff projects take different time #like just checked the one from moth work and I drafted it consistently from august of 2019 but then took a break till october #of that year! then a break from oct to nov and basically just working on it once a month #AND I FORGOT I FINISHED THAT BOOK ON FUCKING LEAP DAY THIS MAKES SOOO MUCH SENSE LOLLLLL #lonan and harrison only having the anniversary of their first book being finished every 4 years..... so them #GOTTA DIG INTO THESE STATS ACTUALLY THIS WILL BE SO FUN #this is on mywriteclub & I started w moth work so we have lots of graphs to look at!!!!!!

#i miss tyler bertuzzi #i made this a year ago because it came to me out of nowhere & when i finished it tyler scored four goals & the red wings still lost & i jus #i remade parts of it & fixed things because this was one of the first ones i ever made but i think about this poem all the time with him. #this is one of my favorite & most-fitting edits & honestly. i could make so many for tyler. this could be edited down a lot tbh #do you really believe in him? ​is he a good kid? no problems? you’re gonna love him. you’re gonna love him. #in the original athanasiou is faith (love before he was gone) sheer for moe (overwhelming joy) & dyl was tireless (the two of them always) #oh also the original restless splendor is the griffins winning the cup :) #you all have seen/read parts of this poem in my tyler bertuzzi tags like That is how much this (abridged)poem is him to me it is no one els #there are. so many alt versions to so many different parts of this so like i started writing these (see that i said i like hit first) & now #i have to admit that it really was just the beginning we don't have a future we have a dog i love & is right completely #tyler bertuzzi #detroit ride or die #liv in the replies #softly: the bertuzzi thesis #this is excerpts from atlantic by mark doty & the dogs at live oak beach remixed and abridged sorry #HAHAHAHAHA ok when i said i was thinking about tyler & dogs i meant the four tyler borzoituzzi posts sitting in my drafts but like. here #this is possibly one of the most self-indulgent things i’ve created & it is straight up just for me 🫡 #& i have looked at it for so long that i’ve started to hate it is 1AM i am simply full sending & we’ll see how i feel in the morning

[strangerays]

it's gonna take me another fucking year to finish this book

#i had to go back to the beginning of the third draft and change BIG STUFF #know a lot of people would be like #“just finish the draft first!!!!!” #but i had to know the character motivations first so ;-; #adding in these new characters kinda screwed me over for the better? #so it's worth it lmao #i think the story is well on its way to being told in a way that best fits for the book i want to write #also #i know this story is so worth writing and im glad ive spent a few years now working with it #i just need to find the best way to tell it <3 #having a story for a long time is really such an awesome thing #it's like a little friend :) #that has grown with me :))

[cheswirls]

cleaned up this sketch from a month ago bc :)) guess who got too busy w uni and didnt do a real easter dw w these 2 yet again

#drawing is difficult #so i checked and my first draft for them like this is from 2018 #wild for six yrs now i have thought abt doing this #and started several times #and yet never finished any of them ever. ever. #wrow #anyway i spent an exuberant amt of time on last yrs practice sk so this one is “lacking” #in comparison but its been a full year between the two so this is better arguably #i think i wrote over my 18 file but i have the others scattered about #eventually when i finish one on time ill go n collect them all and see what evolved thru the years #for now i didnt even start (2nd yr in a row now) so lmao better luck next time ig

[erythristicbones]

having to work on short notice again was actually nice today \o/ ended up pondering EOTA while i bagged coffee and now im finally editing the draft again after 2 weeks of no motivation

#os: entrails of the animals #pointing at myself in the mirror like 'draft 4 WILL be finished before 2023 is over' #altho i defs need to stop beating myself up for not working on it as much lately #like yeah i edit 60k words + wrote an entire 40k more in the span of like ~3 months last year #and towards the end of the draft i was writing 4k to 6k words each DAY #but also i think that has burned me out to a degree and ive struggled to do any major editing since then #i need to just let myself work on EOTA at my own pace.....but also i want it to be published already :( #lowkey its my own fault im burned out this time #i was writing 4k words a day and internally going 'hey we should pace ourselves so that this doesnt become overwhelming' #but instead i just kept writing like a maniac bc i was so excited to have the first draft done #now i get to pay the price 🤟😔 #having to drag any amount of focus i can to the laptop kicking and screaming

[svtskneecaps]

btw we're dancing ever closer to a large milestone so. congrats. this is terrifying. where did you people come from. how are you still here.

#are the blogs still active #hey. hey. i'm poking you with a stick. do something. #not kpop #shut up vic #anyway i was kicking around an idea where i do like. '1k for 1k' where i post 1k of assorted drafts that died in my google drive #i'd leave it up to audience prompting but ngl i'd never get any lmfao so. it would be mostly my discretion with optional participation #it won't be for a while yet unless i can actually finish a piece for seventeen in the next six months (unlikely) #but i've been thinking about it #somehow people keep managing to find this blog which. how??? #i haven't posted in a seventeen tag (purposefully) in almost a year #sorry if this is showing up in the tag btw i didn't mean to but i didn't think about it until right now and i can't edit tags rip #anyway idk where you people are coming from but you're welcome here #maybe one day i'll post writing again #i just got so averse to posting unfinished projects bc then they just. haunt me. especially if i end up needing to go back and edit #wit of the staircase and all that. i hit my stride in the second act and have to go back to fix the first #but you can't edit what's already been posted easily so. no wips leave my google drive. #plus they're mostly horridly self-serving and i'm the one being served so idk if anyone else could enjoy them #my current wip is a stress fic that developed a plot and i'm going to have to edit down the wish fulfillment if i ever post it #but that requires replacing multiple conversations and that's A Lot #anyway tag ramble over i just. think about things. wanted to check in lads. #if you're reading this i appreciate you also how the fuck did you find me #please tell me i'm genuinely so curious anon should be on no one will ever know please tell me please

oh no the evervale fic idea hit me like a truck

#i was legit writing dialogue until 3am #me: i'm going to finish the first draft of my novel this month #victor and eli: how about no #but uuuuugh i hate that it's a good idea IF i make it into a somewhat long form fic. Like I don't see this being shorter than 20k #and I need to figure out plot and stuff #why does my brain do this to me #it's kind of funny also because the time i wrote side by side was... very similar to this #like i'll not think of headcanon for these boys for years and then BAM. 3am AU.

[stuck-in-the-ghost-zone]

the worst part about watching tokyo ghoul rn is that i really want to finish it today because if i dont ill probably never get around to finishing it again but also every psrt of my brain is going "i could be watching prime defenders right now"

#i thought abt ghostkicks for too long again. i thought abt mark winters again. #i desperately want to write but i dint know WHAT. i have no IDEAS #i need 2 finish my edyn gif so i can post that fic. but wrestling with csps animation stuff sounds like hell rn so i will play sdv instead. #maybe i can finally go finish my mtz fic. thats been in the drafts for like a year now . give the mtz fandom some much needed food. i guess #maybe. maybe. ughghhh. thinking about prime defenders thoughhhgh #i hate this stage of hyperfix hell because literally everything im doing at any point in the day #my brain is going “yeah but what if you watched the greyscale arc again” “yeah but what if you watched ep 39 and made yourself cry again” #“yeah but what if you go back and listen to the episode where they meet ashe the first time” “yeah what it-” LIKE ITS ALL PD IN HERE . #LET ME OUTTTTT
