Ginko with 3, 4, 9, 14, 18, 20, and 22? If that’s too many, feel free to pick and choose instead!

@sabosweetheart

@sabosweetheart Gink ask!! Very cool!! Much Gink..

3. What about public displays of affection? Are you open about your relationship or do you prefer not to be? How many people know about it?

We're open about it, sure, but there's not a lot of people to be open about it to. Ginko has other partners, I think, but he doesn't talk about them much when he visits. They probably know as much about me as I know about them.

PDA is hard to achieve when your an artist living alone on a mountain and your maybe(?) boyfriend just kind of shows up about twice a year to check in and let you know he's still alive and kicking.

4. What is your love language? What is theirs?

Quality time, same as Ginko. Just being around him, knowing he finds my home to be a safe spot to stop and unwind for a few days is enough, and he seems to think so too.

9. Do you guys like to cuddle? Handhold? Hug? Kiss?

Uhm... No? I mean I do but Ginko.. Doesn't, I don't think. He hasn't made an advancements in any of these. I suppose I've held his hand once or twice, walking the snow mountain paths around my home. Hugging and snuggling... No no, nothing like that. Kissing? I.. Wouldn't mind, I suppose, if he wanted to..

14. Would you consider yourself a romantic person? Is your f/o one?

Yes! I can't imagine how someone could be an artist without being a little bit of a romantic. My short stories are full of love and romance and tragedy! Ginko on the other hand... I suppose he is, in his own ways.

18. How do you guys handle jealousy?

I've never felt jealous in that sense... I suppose I am jealous of Ginko, though, traveling all over the country, seeing all sorts of Mushi, helping all kinds of people.. his stories are amazing, and maybe I'm a little jealous but... He comes back to see me, despite all the amazing things he experiences, so there must be something rather amazing about me too.

20. How do you guys fluster each other? Are either of you prone to blushing?

I HAVE gotten Ginko to blush! Only a few times, and over silly things. He's rather easy to tease if you target some silly mistakes he'd made in his travels. His face flushes when he laughs. As for me, I'm sure my face is red from the moment he enters my home...

22. How was your first kiss with your f/o like?

First kiss... That would be rather nice... Perhaps I'll ask about it the next time he drops by...

#Ginko #Thankyou for asking #idk why Gink asks I always answer in character as my S/I but WHATEVER #Ginko is a very special self ship I have tow versions of it #The old left over version child me wrote that's both Familial and Romantic #And the rewrite I did my last rewatch that's more ambiguous on if it's even Romantic at all #Ginko to me is Aromantic with a LOT of Queerplatonics scattered around Japan #He visits them as he's traveling to let them know he's alive and to give himself a little break from wandering #I kind of accidently my way into the Ginko polycule and kind of have to peice that together myself #The other one I'll eventually work on more but I'll probably never answer asks for it unless someone specifically asks for it #Because it's weird self indulgent and old #It for me #Thankyou again for asking I love Gink I love to talk about Gink he's probably the oldest F/O irl time wise #Well probably not but I'm going to declare him so because other F/O S/I stories have been edited #Except for Gink the OG Gink self ship is still in tact for me myself and I

[autumncentauri]

in retrospect i probably should've made my posts for Finwean Ladies Week ahead of time and then just posted them day of, building up a buffer for in case irl gets busier than expected (like it did). Note for next time i guess!

...and also that too many ideas can be just as bad for getting things turned in on time as too few ideas. That too i guess

#my posts #irl stuff #general fandomness #i guess? #reference #irl reference #i'll probably get around to writing the findis and lalwen post(s) eventually since that's the one i had too many ideas for #no idea on the time frame for that though #findis and lalwen post in my head? #great no problem ive got so many ideas my brain's been writing and rewriting this post all day #findis and lalwen post the second i have to actually write it down? #too many words all at once we've got a brain traffic jam here #the thinking word to writing word lane is closed for business #so no words get written down #and then what do you know sooner then you think the deadline's swooped on past #and you've got nothing to show for all the hours of work you put in

Rehab. (Spencer Reid X GN!Reader) Blurb

word count: 510

cw: addiction, rehab, allusions to relapsing

(Note: there'll probably be a few things like this in this little story universe I'll be naming two-headed boy. its part of me rewriting spencer's addiction arc, but not the main plotline since that will not include x readers.)

Meeting new people was always hard, but going to rehab was harder, so you allowed yourself a bit of leeway with how social you were at this new place. It had been a friend that recommended it, seeing how bad you were struggling even with the fact you had finally begun to open up to them. Attending meetings was a no-go, you'd just leave after clamming up for an hour and drinking shitty coffee in a community hall. Things got dire, so rehab it was. 

You spotted him the first day, sitting in the corner and reading a worn copy of some book you didn't care enough to glance at the cover of at a speed that made you think he was just staring at the pretty pictures instead. Not that you'd judge that, you'd spent 5 minutes in the centre and already were so bored you’d considered leaving.

Eventually the worker that led you into the day room went to get a cup of coffee, so you sat tentatively next to the young man, trying your best not to disturb him.

“You're new,” He points out curiously, having put his book down while you were counting the cracks on the ceiling. It startles you, but you nod, a tight smile on your lips. 

“You're reading pretty fast,” You counter, showing your own observational skills, but you almost laugh out loud at his response.

“Actually, this is pretty slow for me. I wanted to, uh…soak in the words…” The man’s brows twitch oddly and you feel endeared already.

“Escapism?” 

"Addicts crave oblivion" he'd told you, and you wondered where you'd heard that before, tilting your head as you listen.

"So what are you running from?" you asked in return, watching him avoid eye contact, you could see him thinking and going over it all…clearly it was a lot. “Yeah…me too…” you mumble, knowing all too well what trauma does to addicts.

The guy pulls another odd face, his mouth almost a straight line, it makes you chuckle and forget about the fire burning in the back of your head for a moment. “How is it…going…for you?” He asks carefully, clearly too scared to use words like addiction or sobriety. That would make it real.

“Four months.” You answer, though you aren't entirely sure that's true, it's all a blur and you'd rather not track it at all. “You?”

“Eight.”

It's a heavy number. So close to that coveted milestone and twice over what you had achieved so far.

“Does it g-”

“No.” He clearly doesn't even need to hear the rest of your question, it was the question every addict heard no matter what month of sobriety they'd made it to.

“Is it worth it..?” You ask hesitantly, watching the cogs turn in his head through his big doe eyes. The silence that follows stretches long enough that you start to get an inkling what the answer might be, but then he finally speaks again.

“It will be.” He nods firmly, finally looking you in the eyes.

[the-s1lly-corner]

Hi. Can I request something similar to the immortals outliving you? Could it be with the rest of the characters and us passing from other causes?

Their reactions to losing you

I wasnt sure if you wanted the immortals as well, so I added them in here as well!

This is all written in one go since tumblr doesnt let me save drafts for asks so I apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes <\3 it's like 1am rn

CONTENT WARNINGS, idk what all needs a warning but I'd rather play it VERY safe:

M*rder

M*rder revenge, almost all of them touch on it tbh, love me the revenge trope

Snorts^

D3ath, obviously

Grief and the general hurt that comes with it

In EJs case he sees your death first hand

Does violently slamming yourself around count as SH /genq, because if so that's vagued in EJs part as well

Maskys handles a hit and run but its vague

Masky also hints to a smoking addiction

Nonspecific illness in hoodies part

Slenderman;

I remember that I mentioned this for Slendermans part, but I had an idea that he already accepted that fact that you wouldn't last forever

But I don't remember if I mentioned/vagued the idea of how he'd react to you're life being forcibly cut short

Accepting the fact you'll eventually pass away does nothing when he finds out someone else was responsible for your sudden end

All that comes out is a cold rage, something that the creature hasn't experienced in a long time

Writing this, it makes me remember that clip from the first episode of castlevania where dracula appears in the fire in episode one, after they kill his wife

But instead of carelessly showing himself to the world in a fit of rage, he fiercely protects everything that you touched; his forest, your home, your grave, ect

But despite the rage he doesnt immediately take down the person who caused this

Nonono, he does what he does best; he chips away at the person's mind through stalking and paranoia, essentially tormenting them for.. god knows how long until he gets bored

When he does decide hes through with them he'll make sure their... death... is drawn out

Basically don't meddle in the life of a forest monster; he may be a very... passionate.. lover

Splendorman;

Incredibly similar to the other version of this post where he naturally outlives you

But if you pass unnaturally, he'd be even more torn up about it

His time with you was already going to be short to begin with, but it was cut down even shorter

Doesnt matter the cause; murder, illness, accident, ect.. he'll be just as broken up

There's no real significant changes; he still mourns and honors you the same way for the most part

Laughing Jack;

It was an accident; one day you were there and the next, gone

He would stay in the house for a few days, not even knowing what was going on

At first he'd be worried and confused, before those feelings would deepen into something debilitating

He'd probably eventually find out through the news, after turning on the tv to pass the time and fill the silence

His worry immediately morphs into ice cold; he could feel his heart drop

He'd throw caution to the wind and try to track down whoever did he

He doesnt care if it was an accident, he wants justice and compensation

He follows a similar route as slenderman; the only thing is, is that jack lacks the patience to draw it out

After everything is said and done he's beside himself; avenging you didnt bring him back and it hardly made him feel better

He likely just. Goes back to what he was doing before he met you; drifting from house to house and causing havoc; but now he carries a melancholic aura

Eyeless Jack;

Another story of revenge, but with a twist so his part isnt too similar to LJ and slenders

So I'll be using the idea I should've given slenderman (but I'm too stubborn to rewrite his part)

Like Slenderman, Jack is seen as a cryptid and thus, there are naturally going to be people trying to hunt him down. Especially considering before he was a cursed monster he was a normal dude who got caught up in a whole... thing... and who's body was obviously never found as it still walks

Jack is.. semi used to that; but one day he completely catches him off guard, and what's worse is that you were there when it happened

It was a group, too, usually they come in two; but there were more that day. If it were less Jack could have easily put a stop to it all

It escalated

You had tried to step in to help him, to buy him some time so he could run; but it all went wrong

I don't like going into detail about this kind of thing, so this will be up to interpretation

The whole thing flings him into a rage and he makes quick work of the remaining hunters, but it's all too late

Even if he wasn't, how could he help? He cant just leave the woods and dump you at a hospital... but he doesnt have the supplies to help you then and there... and even if he did you were both much too far away from the cabin

It just leaves him helplessly trying to stop the bleeding

He hardly ever leaves the woods after that; not even to eat

He's resorted to.. rather violently subduing the monstrous side of him that craves flesh

There's broken furniture everywhere

He blames himself

He should have had you stay in the cabin

He should have told you to run

He should have told you to hide

He should've...

The worst thing is that he begins to believe that it was his fault; afterall he let you out of his sight when he began fighting. Even worse, and perhaps stupidly, he believed this wouldn't have happened if he never met you

Its

Rough

Masky;

He just sits there, quietly

Be it shock or something else he just sits there

But his mind is going a mile a minute to try to figure out what exactly happened to you

You were.. in a wreck, and the other person just. Fled.

As feral as I tend to write and interpret masky, he can be thorough when it comes to investigating

Though I'm torn in whether or not he'd actually be able to find the person; especially because I'm kinda. Dumb when it comes to crime stuff and I'm not about to do mental gymnastics on something I'm not confident in <\3

In terms of grief, he seems... lost...

I don't usually hc that Masky smokes; that's just a Tim thing

But I feel like the smoking would bleed into Masky and become a whole... issue.. whether or not Tim as his own person knows about you/was involved with you is up to interpretation; as I tend to write the proxies as a separate.. thing

Still trying to find the correct term

But yeah

Focusing back in on Masky, he's kinda just lost. Angry, definitely, but mostly just. Wandering through life

He doesn't want to forget you

Hoodie;

Similar to Masky he's quiet and lost

Similarly he would feel the urge to try to find out who took you away; but I feel we've had enough "S/o dies at the hands of someone else" for this post, so we'll do something else... and because I fear hoodies portion will be too similar to maskys

You got sick, to put it simply

It's.. odd..

He's well aware that you're deteriorating, and he's aware that time is running out

But he can't help but feel calm in your presence; its only when you're apart that he feels that dread, and its constant

Maybe it's the fact that when he's with you he can easily convince himself that, in that moment, you're alright

It hurts when it finally happens

Out of all the guys, he's probably the most normal(?) About the situation

He visits your grave, a lot of the time, leaves little gifts there

He doesn't talk much, but he probably talks to you

Likely keeps something on him to remember you, like a locket or something

Jealous, Jealous Pt. 2 | Alhaitham

Part 1

Summary: A scholar in the Akademiya decides to flirt with you, unaware that your boyfriend has been watching the entire time

Notes: I feel like this is lacking in so many ways 😭 I might go back and rewrite this eventually but I'll wait until I pull Alhaitham (hopefully!!!!)

If looks could kill, Alhaitham would have ended the existence of your little admirer by now.

No one knew you were the girlfriend of the Akademiya’s honored Scribe, mainly due to Alhaitham’s concern for your own safety. His enemies wouldn’t think twice about hurting you if it meant being able to exploit him for all he was worth, and the last thing your lover wanted was to put you in danger. He was also simply a man of many secrets, choosing to keep his innermost feelings to himself rather than wear his heart on his sleeve. There was no reason to announce his changed relationship status to anyone. Well, until now, that is.

You could feel the tangible anger burning from Alhaitham as he stared into the back of the lovestruck fool’s head, no doubt plotting a thousand ways to swiftly relieve him of his duties. You would have shooed the stranger off if it wasn’t for the fact that his interest in you wasn’t just in you as a person but also as a renowned scholar. Everyone in the Akademiya was well-aware of how the sages constantly sang your praises, declaring that you were one of the brightest minds to enter the field in decades. You were their second favorite after Alhaitham which meant that they’d even offered to grant you the position of a Sumeru sage, but had to politely decline. Much like Alhaitham, you were less of a leader and more of a follower working in the shadows.

You truly wanted to give your admirer the benefit of the doubt—hoping that he was only speaking to you as a coworker that he looked up to—but you weren’t dense. It was plain as day exactly what he was trying to achieve.

“S-So I was hoping that maybe we could get dinner sometime…?”

“I truly appreciate your admiration, I really do, but I’m already committed to someone. If you want to talk strictly about projects in the Akademiya, though, I don’t mind!”

“You’re with someone else? No…you must be bluffing. I bet you’re one of those girls who likes to play hard to get.”

“N-No…Genuinely, I’m not interested in you. I’m sorry. I have a man in my life that my heart is devoted to—”

“Come on, I know you’ve probably got a superiority complex, but just give lowly ole me a chance, okay? Perhaps you can come to my office and I can help…ahem…assist you in some research—”

You didn’t even have a chance to gag at the disgusting suggestion before Alhaitham stepped in front of you, his tall, lean figure towering over the much smaller man.

“I believe [Name] told you that she’s unavailable. Since she’s busy, would you like me to escort you outside of the Akademiya? After all, we only allow accomplished scholars in here, not scumbags that want to force their colleagues into fulfilling their warped little fantasies.”

The scholar’s face turned white as he glanced back and forth at you and Alhaitham, clearly unprepared for dealing with an unexpected variable. Realizing his argument was getting him nowhere (and not wanting to challenge a man whose combat skills equaled his intellect), he opted to send a venomous glare Alhaitham’s way before swiftly exiting the room.

“Alhaitham, thank you—”

“There’s no need to thank me. I’m just doing what’s expected of a decent human being.” Despite his words, however, you noticed how his lips tugged upwards at the corners of his mouth. “I know we’re keeping things under wraps, but if you ever need help, call for me. I’ll intervene even if it means letting others know we’re together. No matter what happens, I’ll keep you safe. That’s a promise.”

Pretending to reach over you to grab a book, Alhaitham shielded you from view as he pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead, holding back a smile even as he pulled away.

“Ah, just the book I was looking for, Quantum Physics and the Laws of Thermodynamics. This will be an interesting read.” He absentmindedly thumbed through its pages, likely already familiar with its contents considering he’d read most of the books in the Akademiya library twice over. “I’ll have to tell you all about it when I’m finished.”

You playfully rolled your eyes in response, but you found yourself smiling back at him, heart still fluttering from the sensation of his lips against your skin. With one last wave, he strolled out of the room, making his way to his office (or to annoy Kaveh—it was a favorite pastime of his).

Alhaitham might be an indifferent—and sometimes aggravating—man to everyone else, but with you, he is someone that loves and values you deeply, always taking the chance to tell you through small ways just how precious you are to him. He’s yours and yours alone, and he’ll make sure that no one else even dares to challenge it.

But perhaps you’d like to see him like this just once more. Somehow his jealousy makes him even more attractive…

[beeanca-writing]

That other anon was being an asshole, but I am curious about what you had planned for EfC? Not gonna lie, I'll miss the cast—would be nice to know what happens to who!

I'm still unsure what I'll do with EfC. I might come back to it once this current period of my life is over, though it'd likely be very different. First of all, it'd be a shorter story. I'd either get rid of some of the ROs, or find some way to better integrate them into the narrative (compare Harry, who you can have this huge, important backstory with vs Val, whom I love but is also just some guy, I guess?). It'd also probably be more focused on romance since that's usually what interests me the most in IF anyway.

I also might scrap a lot of it and stick to the storylines that interest me the most—mainly the Harry stuff. A shorter game dealing with The Hedonist returning to Court and having to face Harry sounds really fun to write, and it'd be a lot less complex to plan than this whole mess. Also, Harry is definitely a more developed character than some of the other ROs. For example, I love Camila to death, but she doesn't have much significance in the story other than "The Hedonist's friend" and I was never able to find her some meaning.

I'd also make The Hedonist even more of a fixed character by getting rid of all personality stats and focusing solely on their actions instead of worrying about personality. The stats were all carried over from CoG, and it's never been something I enjoy in their brand of IF. I was going to do this anyway when I first transferred the game to Twine, but stupidly asked Tumblr what they thought and, since most people preferred keeping the stats, I did that even though I didn't really want to.

As for to what would happen to the cast... In case I do come back to EfC, I don't think this would change much, so I'll put it into a read more in case someone doesn't want to know. If anyone has any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Grandma would die. Sorry!

Also, Cordelia was The Hedonist's twin who drowned in front of them, but that was a bit obvious, wasn't it? I'd definitely remove that from any rewrites, it's so unnecessary and cliché.

Henry would divorce Elizabeth to be with Nicholas. The Hedonist could either support him on this or not.

Due to the divorce, the rest of the family would be disgraced in Court. Evie's reputation is a little less affected if she's still with Harry.

As I mentioned in the past, The Hedonist can choose whether to stay in Court or not at the end.

The Hedonist and Evie can repair their relationship or not. Evie eventually makes an effort to become friends with The Hedonist, and you could choose whether to play nice or not. If The Hedonist romances Harry and you manage to have a good relationship, she forgives you, but asks for some time away from both The Hedonist and Harry.

I didn't really plan Camila's character arc well. She becomes a Republican rebel and can either still be friends with The Hedonist or have distanced herself a bit if they continue to be an asshole.

Sabina can choose to no longer be a nun if encouraged either by a friend or romanced Hedonist. If you romanced her but didn't encourage her to leave the convent, she dumps you. (Note: You later find out she was forced to become a nun by her family.)

Similarly to Sabina, Narcissa can choose to break things off with the Emperor if, again, encouraged either by a friend or romanced Hedonist.

Calvin's ending is the wildest one, actually. He finds out he's a father after the boy's mother passes away. The Hedonist can either tell him to abandon the boy or tell him to raise him (if Calvin is romanced, they kind of become a step parent).

Val can be encouraged to start studying to become a librarian. Also, his whole thing is that his father is the Emperor lol

Lastly, horse boy Harry will want to divorce Evie if romanced and marry The Hedonist instead. If you refuse to marry him, he divorces her anyway but doesn't stay with The Hedonist. A friend!Harry stays with Evie, I think? I don't know.

#have fun w all this info lol

Striker redesign/reimagine!

Might tweak a few things in the future, but here he is!

I'll talk about him under the cut, because I have some things to say

Okay! So: Striker

Let me start by saying that I don't really hate his design as is. I think he looks fine. But! As somebody from the southwest, I wanted to add a little extra southwestern style influence on him. And I also wanted him to look more like a rattler.

Now if some of you might be a little confused by the blue, I do have an explanation for it. Admittedly this is more personal than logical, but here's a cool little factoid about my nick of the woods.

As I've mentioned multiple times, I'm from the southwest, and we have a local very old Superstition around here, the Superstition goes that West is the direction of evil. It's where the sun is swallowed and darkness rises. What time were evil spirits would rise and torment the living. But it was said if you painted your window sills or doorways blue, you would be safe. Blue was the color of safety and protection.

So I kind of gave Striker little blue accents, as a reference to that color of safety. I like the idea that it's a comfort color for him.

Anyway! Aside from my barely filtered Self Indulgence, here are my thoughts;

I don't like his fingerless gloves, 90% of the characters seem to have fingerless gloves, literally everybody in the main cast has fingerless gloves or something similar. I like fingerless gloves, but I'm sick of it being everywhere in this show

As mentioned before I wanted to make him look more snake-like, so I gave him a rattler Style tell, larger fangs, more orange toned, a different horn Style just a match a little bit better. And eyeball imagery on his clothing. Since rattlesnakes sometimes look like they have eyeball patterns

Gave him scars, I was just like with millie, I feel like he's got into a lot of fights, and since they're both from wrath they should both have some Battle Scars.

Speaking of Millie, I had this idea for a rewrite, let me know what you think. What if Millie was actually considered the weakest in her family growing up? Which has caused her to be very self-conscious about her strength and constantly want to get stronger. All of this leading to her currently being extremely competitive to the point where it can be detrimental. And what if, when she wasn't able to actually help around the farm, the family had Striker come over and help?

Striker could be a long time family friend she grows up with, but also goes on to resent because she feels he is, in a sense, replacing her.

So the Harvest Moon episode would be more about her feeling an internal rivalry with him rather than a cliched masculinity episode with Moxxie

Maybe he goes easy on her because he cares about her, and she notices, leading her to feel like he sees her as weaker, which is very insulting to her Pride.

This could be why she eventually joins IMP, maybe assassinating humans makes her feel strong.

Those are my thoughts with Millie and Striker. Now, to explore another Dynamic that I'm sure you guys have been eager to hear my thoughts about...

Striker's dynamic with Blitzo

It probably doesn't surprise any of you, but I thoroughly believe that they had far more chemistry in this one episode, then Blitzo and Stolas do throughout the rest of the show

Clearly Blitzo likes him, and at the very least, Striker does have some respect for him upon their first meeting

The way he talks to Blitzo, it plays into what Blitzo actually *wants*. He offers a ticket out. A way to success without being shackled to Stolas

Striker calls Blitzo: impressive, sir, above sucking on a pompous Goetia.

Stolas, on the other hand: my impish little plaything, adorable, itty bitty imp, constantly baby talks him, "Blitzy" which was established Blitzo hates.

I will get to Stolas eventually, I have some thoughts I'll Explore More with him. In due time.

Would I make Blitzo and Striker a couple in my Reimagined Helluva? I don't know, because I don't really think it's necessary. I do think however that Striker eventually could become one of Blitzo's friends.

I have a very specific scene in my head:

____

Blitzo's uncertain about Striker's offer, he doesn't know if he should actually trust him, if he should uproot his whole business for the stranger just because he's saying the right things, or if he should just do what he's doing now and see if he can get success.

They fight, for a bit, Striker keeps talking throughout their tussle, tempting Blitzo to join him on killing Stolas.

They are equally matched, both holding the blessing tipped rifle, in a tense game of tug o' war.

Their rumble goes on for just long enough that now, Striker looks out the window, to see his opportunity to kill Stolas while he was on stage has passed.

Striker sighs, dissapointed as Stolas is once again surrounded by guards blocking his clear shot.

He releases his rifle, causing Blitzo to stumble back a bit.

He composes himself, straightening his clothes and dusting himself off.

"Tell you what Blitz, I'll give you some time to think on it."

Striker takes Blitzo's hand in his own for a moment, his tone of voice more welcoming than before.

He pulls away, revealing je placed a Buisness card with his phone number in Blitzo's palm.

"And when you decide what you want, you give me a call."

____

So! Those are my thoughts!

If I were in charge of the show, I would let Striker's business card sit on Blitzo's desk, or in his wallet, showing the audience that Striker is still in the back of his mind, even if Striker doesn't make a direct appearance in a few episodes.

I had a lot of fun with Striker, as you all can probably tell, he was one of my favorites before season 2 happened.

hi betts!

i’ve been a fan of yours for years now (training wheels is one of my favorite stories— not just fics. stories— ever, and i really admire your style. as a writer myself, i want to ask how you’re able to keep your motivation up to complete your projects? i feel like i start out so motivated when i fall in love with an idea, but once that fevered haze fades, it’s almost impossible for me to get the motivation i need to write. i have a few wips that i feel so guilty about not finishing/not wanting to finish/wanting to finish but being unable to get the inspiration to. so, in short, how do you maintain the motivation to finish your wips?

thank you so much! i'm glad to hear it; training wheels is still very dear to me.

first, if you want a step by step guide to finishing your wips, i wrote a tutorial earlier this year in my newsletter.

also as i've said elsewhere, i believe it's more important to follow your inspiration and interest where it takes you even if it means not finishing things. one of the reasons i love fanfic is because it's the only genre i can think of where you get to read unfinished works and be present during the writing of them.

but you asked about *my* motivation to finish things, and i'll say it's taken me a long time to build the endurance necessary not only to complete big projects but also complete them to my satisfaction. in my experience, the better you are at finishing things, the worse you become at starting them, and so whereas i used to have a million wips and ideas happening at once, now i can see the ridiculous endeavor ahead of me and pick my battles more knowledgeably.

also, i don't finish everything, especially not right away. sometimes i sit years on a story before i eventually come back to it. but i've found that it's inevitable that when i put something down that i care about, i'll come back around to it when i'm ready. it's not something i have to force. my attention and interest bounces around all over the place but the things i love, i love forever. so i'll always come back around to them.

most importantly--and this is really very important--i lie to myself.

here are the two main lies i tell myself:

"this is the best thing i've ever written," and

"i'm almost done."

being a little delusional is a huge benefit as a writer. if you're too honest with yourself nothing can get done. but i've always had a natural talent for convincing myself of things that aren't true and although that's gotten me in a lot of trouble in all other aspects of my life, in writing it keeps me just far enough away from reality that i can finish things.

the process is something like this:

vague story idea!

will probably be very small, the shortest story i have ever written in fact

begin writing

feels good, feels organic

no no that's not right, bad vibes

start over

ohhh i see what i'm trying to do

outline the tiniest, easiest outline i have ever made. five bullet points. this happens, and then this and this, and the story ends. EASY

will finish by tomorrow, probably

write write write

will finish by tomorrow, probably

write write write

definitely tomorrow, almost done

check word count. 25k. uh oh

doesn't matter, almost done. have *checks* four out of five bullet points to go

write write write

five point bullet outline no longer effective

re-outline. five points turns into five pages. uh oh

check word count. 60k. big yikes

but! almost done! will finish tomorrow, probably

write write write

get stuck? how? but the outline...

the outline is ineffective. re-outline.

check word count. 100k. :(

almost done :)

a plot knot arises. spend six hours staring at a wall to undo the plot knot

plot knot is more insidious than expected. open new document. start over

*now* i'm almost done

rewrite, restructure, reorganize

check word count. 20k. :(

write write write

check word count. 200k. :((

weeks-long fugue state during which i am god

awaken to filthy apartment. i have not eaten a vegetable in many days. i have not seen the sun.

eat a broccoli

go outside

am i living? am i truly living? is this all life is? am i loved? am i worth loving?

return to safety of fictional world to avoid existential despair

write write write

will finish by tomorrow, probably

so it's really less about motivation to finish and more about motivation to chase down an increasingly elusive feeling of joy through immersion into worlds of my own making and control. it's way easier to run away from something than toward it.

#writing advice #motivation #process #listen i'm not saying i have a healthy relationship with writing #if you can do it healthier than i do that's what i recommend

Breakfast

♡ Summary: After a mission has an unexpected complication, Kaz plans breakfast for you.

♡ Pairing: Kaz Brekker x reader

♡ Fandom: Six of Crows, Grishaverse

♡ Warning(s): Body dumping

♡ WC: 2.4k

I'll probably rewrite this when I have the brain power. Or give it a part 2.

This is an au for you have to physically be near your soulmate. After a period of time, being away from your soulmate makes you exhausted and drained, until eventually you rot away.

Reader should be gender neutral? It usually is but my mind was elsewhere completely when I spit this out.

Hope you enjoy <3

Please excuse any grammar and spelling mistakes

∘₊✧──────────────────✧₊∘

"We cannot let him leave!" Kaz shouts over active gunfire, turning around and planting a bullet into the neck of one of the assailants. "What he knows cannot be shared with his employers."

Jesper reaches around the crates, the boards filled with holes as damn near coming off. Three thuds sound against the concrete floor, a fourth and fifth sounding into the room following two whistles.

"As much as I would have liked to chase right after him, we were a little preoccupied." Jesper quips, hesitantly peeking around his hiding place.

Kaz grits his teeth. "Thank you for that astute observation, Jesper. Truly, I had no idea."

"All clear." Inej said, crisp and a little biting. "If you two plan to stop having a lovers quarrel."

"Kaz, my beloved." Jesper stands with little restriction. "We have outdone ourselves."

Kaz stands, walking out from behind the busted crates. A few more shots and there would be hardly any crate left to protect them. 7 men are on the ground, some piled on eachother and others crumbled to the ground, legs and arms in positions they couldn't be in comfortably.

Though that hardly matters now.

What really does, is getting the scientist into ropes and hauling him into a boat to be tossed into the drink.

The place they're in is humid and definitely Grisha-made. The walls are too flat and brick floors too perfectly symmetrical to have ever hoped to be made by the ordinary man.

The hallway stretches on for miles, breaking off and branching like roots. It was completely devoid of natural light, the only thing keeping them from wandering in the dark was the occasional torch at halfway marks and bends.

There's only forward and right from where they stand.

"The map says down there are two hallways, each with 3 rooms attached. You two split and tackle that direction." He feels his heart skip, an arrhythmia akin to a squeeze around the muscle. "Ill go this way. Check every room as quickly and as thoroughly as possible, and then come find me."

"Roger that." Jesper immediately darts down the hall, eager for a chase. Inej stares at Kaz for a moment as he fingers his chest. But before she can ask, he turns and starts down his own way.

There's three exit points down the way he's heading, and truthfully he's counting on the assumption that the chemist doesn't know where they are given that he only arrived here a week prior.

He looks in the first room, seeing nothing except a desk and chains bolted to the wall.

This place was designed to be confusing to anyone who managed to escape. Durasts would change the walls around every week or so to designated configurations torturers and workers would have to memorize. But nearly a decade ago, they moved their base of operations and collapsed any and all exits and entrances.

Until someone else found it, and now we're here.

Boots stomped against the ground, a wheeze exiting someone's lips down the hall. Kaz drew his gun, immediately on guard. He advanced, halting when the door nearly thirty feet down busted open, a disheveled and scared chemist walking out and staring into the room behind him.

Kaz wasted no time and fired a round, which missed when the lucky bastard tripped over his own feet.

He looked up like a startled deer, then clambered to his feet and took off in the opposite direction.

Kaz cursed and put his fingers in his mouth, whistling so loud his own ears rang. "Stupid scientist and stupid running."

He picks his cane up by the arm and takes off after him. Catching up shouldn't be the hard part. Figuring out where he went within this maze will be.

He memorized as much as he could, this way in particular, but there are certain sections that are becoming more than a little fuzzy as the day goes on.

There's a tug at the nape of his neck, one that causes his eyes to nearly roll to the back of his head.

It's probably-

Kaz feels it full force as he rounds a corner, target slamming into a wall and sprinting to the left and down a long corridor. That trademark exhaustion, limbs and head feeling heavier, and his mind just about grinding to a halt.

It's more than a little disorienting. The back of his skull feels almost numb and his thoughts aren't connecting.

More than anything he wants to lay down. Just take his cane, lean against the wall, and rest.

But he can't. He knows how this works, and it's more than terrifying how very little that seems to help. That despite knowing what was happening and what he needed to do to fix it, he could barely put one foot in front of the other.

He should be used to this by now. It's not as if Kaz fucking Brekker is a stranger to exhaustion, to the feeling of wanting to just rest and rest and rest. He felt it for a long time when burning rage and vengeance weren't enough to keep him going.

It surely wasn't a feeling he experienced often, especially not in recent years, but he's felt it before, and has powered through it every single time.

And yet here he struggles, hand gripping the head of his cane so hard he can feel the muscles in his fingers tearing and breaking as they're pinched between bone and metal. The pain doesn't help.

Jesper catches up quickly as Kaz drags himself on his own two feet down the hall, turning down the very path the loony old chemist took.

"You doin' alright?" Jesper asks, scanning him up and down. "He didn't get you did he?"

Kaz grits his teeth, pushing through the mind fog and righting himself. "No, he didn't 'get me' Jesper."

He feels Inej coming up behind them before she ever makes her presence known. But when she does, he wishes she would just recede back into the shadows from wence she came, because the next words out of her mouth are "We need to get back to Ketterdam" and she shoots Jesper a pointed look.

Jesper gets it almost immediately, pinching the bridge of his nose with crinkled eyes. "Just our luck that this would happen."

Somehow he gathers the energy to not whack Jesper's shin with his cane, shaking his head and taking a deep, lung stretching breath that makes his vision a little blurry.

"Jesper, catch up with the chemist and hold him wherever he's decided to squeeze himself. This corridors a dead end and as far as intel goes, there's not an exit around here."

"On it." He quips, and takes off down the hall, searching through the doors.

Inej stays by his side, giving him an analytical look that he'd prefer she would direct around the room that they entered.

It was a storage closet, wooden crates on raised metal stands to prevent them from potentially getting wet and rotted. An iron rack was pushed on the far wall into the corner, boxes and bottles of powders and strange liquids glowing from the torch light peeking through the door.

"Do you miss them?" Inej asks.

His heart hurts. "Miss who?" He fires back, a childish attempt to ignore the fact that he really, really wants to go back to the Slat.

"The baker down the lane." She scoffs, moving to face him directly. "Your soulmate, Kaz."

His heart hurts even more, eyes a little bit easier to keep open at just the mention of your being.

Soulmates. The attachment of two souls that were, for all intents and purposes, intended to be together. Once you meet them, you won't know that you've met them until you experience what Kaz is unfortunately experiencing now: crippling exhaustion and nigh dissociation.

It's funny, how it works. It's one of the biggest epidemics of the modern man. Because too many times will there be brief meeting by chance, and then two days later, you're barely able to stand.

How does one keep catalogue of every person they've met in the days prior? They don't. And more often than not you'll find a person leaning against a wall, fighting their insides to just find their person.

It's miraculous no one has figured out a method to avoiding this.

For the most part, it manifests as a sadness, a feeling of loss, even grief, when away for long enough. For others, like himself, it's tiring. It's this nagging feeling of nothingness clawing at his being and dragging him down to the ground, beckoning him to lay down and wait.

It's imperative to find your soulmate before it progresses past this.

If you fail to do so, you will die.

However, it takes a bit longer than most think. There are people who have survived a month from the start of their symptoms before they came close to death. Others, it took a week before their loved one perished.

It all depends on your bond, on your relationship as a whole.

Which is also why the very mention of your name from a foreign body is just enough to get him going again. To straighten his back, set his head straight, and turn out of the room.

"Ill be back in Ketterdam soon enough." He said, quickening his pace to the next door.

Kaz will be fine. It's only been a few days since he's been away. No doubt you'll be experiencing your own symptoms soon.

He's got time.

He has to tell himself he's got time.

×

The boat jostles beneath him, the rhythmic back and forth and sea ambience calming and rousing him all at once.

The chemist was already at the bottom of the ocean, lungs filled with water and rocks sewed into his stomach. Whatever information he hoped to share now lost to time.

For now, he just had to focus on staying awake and getting back to you as soon as possible.

Thankfully, he doesn't have to touch you for this whole bond to work.

It's relieving everytime he thinks about it, that merely talking to you is enough satiate the hunger his soul has for you. How it wants to listen, and feel. Feel the way your own brushes against his, coating him with a warmth that feels welcoming and a light hum that's entrancing.

Tea and breakfast should be perfect, tucked into his office and papers with wet ink drying to the side.

You've always loved breakfast foods. Whether it be pancakes, bowls of fruit, oatmeal with cinnamon and about a pound of sugar, granola over yogurt with blueberries and strawberries- even a mash of runny eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon were on your list of things you'd enjoy.

He quickly does the math, and decides that something light and airy would do nicely.

You're not going to want anything heavy for a day or two after he gets back.

Fresh, airy and fluffy bread with cinnamon butter sounds right up your alley.

He feels lighter just thinking about it. Your insistence on making the bread yourself, going to the market to pick up the supplies and coming back to make multiple rolls instead of just one, flicking flour at him and getting white all over his black coat, your glee when you could smell the bread from inside the oven.

It all makes the snickering coming from Jesper worth it.

"Theres only one person I know who could make you look like that." He smirks, leaning an arm on the edge of the boat.

He neglects to bring Jespers mum into the conversation, and says, "I'm simply thinking of the markets."

Jesper makes a sound of mock understanding, drawing out the vowel. "Yes yes, how could I be mistaken. Everyone knows you love a long stroll through the crowded market on a mid summer afternoon."

"He does if a certain someone is involved." Inej says, stepping into the sunlight. Her skin reminded him of rich coffee, a thin sheen of sweat coating her face.

Perhaps you'd stop at a bakery during your stroll. This time of year they usually had at least one of your many favorite pastrys on display.

"At least he's not dragging himself anymore." Jesper chuckles, to which Kaz shoots him a glare. "Your bond is so strong that just thinking about eachother is enough to stave off the early separation effects."

"Even if it sacrifices longevity," Inej places a hand on the edge of the boat next to Kaz, watching the waves hit the side, "it helps to serve as a reminder before it's too debilitating. The Saints have blessed you."

"The saints have done no such thing. I would have been dead if the roles were reversed. Its tedious."

Yet that's not true. It wasn't tedious in the slightest. While he didn't particularly enjoy the feeling of wanting to lay on the floor and stay there, he did enjoy you. Having an excuse to have you on his mind. Thinking of everything about you.

"5th Harbor!" A younger Dreg, Randy, calls out.

Kaz looks to his right, seeing Kerch soil much closer than he expected from the way it was called out.

"No kidding." Jesper grins, Randy's face turning shades redder and looking away.

The moment the boat is docked, Kaz hops off and lands on the deck. It's second nature the way he scans the ground briefly, and then plans a route.

The weather isn't bad, he thinks. Almost perfect. The walls between buildings are still damp, and the air is humid, but not unbearably so. The sun is disappearing through stray clouds, but it's still warm despite that.

Salt and the faint smell of rotting wood reaches his nose, but so does perfume, cologne, and the tell tale signs of a busy club. Noises from open bedroom windows, a child screaming with joy, unintelligible chatter from passerbyers fill the air.

You'd love it out here.

He enters the Slat, Jesper following not too far behind and Inej bounding up the wall and into the second floor through an open window.

As much as he wants to see you, needs to see you, business must be taken care of first.

But when he greets you.

Oh, when he hears you...

It'll be enough to conquer the nation.

After breakfast, of course.

[asterlark]

the thing that gets me so much about the storytelling in knives out is that it's a story within a story within a story- or i guess more accurately, it's a story about multiple stories being told and acted in and against each other. ransom/hugh/supreme scumbag wrote the story of harlan's murder and of pinning the crime on marta; meanwhile, harlan wrote the story of what marla would do in the aftermath of his death and the ensuing investigation.

problem for mr. hugh is, marta is not a flat character or a pawn in his game he can manipulate to his will to ensure he gets away scot free (and, to a lesser extent, despite harlan's insistence and marta's best efforts, marta cannot carry out his lie for long during the high-pressure investigation. even when it's in her own best interest to lie, marta cannot and will not be manipulated into telling a false story). marta is a smart and caring human being who has agency in her narrative- and since she is the heroine, the narrative wants her to win, so she has allies like blanc on her side. blanc mostly doesn't interfere with the stories being told, he observes them and then, as he says, strolls leisurely along the real story- the truth's- axis and eventually comes to its inevitable conclusion. this is when he will step in and act upon the narrative, but only to reveal the truth and to ensure the hero gets the rewards they deserve.

on top of all that, it really gets me how there's a very meta framing device of the primary murder victim in this mystery being a famous murder mystery author, and much of the plot revolving around his efforts to author what his loved ones' lives will be like after his death... and the way hugh's murder plot is like something right out of a harlan mystery novel (to the point that harlan, before he realizes he's about to die, makes a point to write down the method of murder as an ingenious way to kill someone)....... and all that isn't even considering all the stories the family members tell themselves and others about their relationship to harlan, how they view the family legacy, etc.

marta is the heroine precisely because she is not trying to tell a false story for her own gain (as the family accuses her of doing after the reading of the will)- she is simply concerned with carrying out her late friend's wishes and doing right by him. she is probably the only person who really knew harlan, the full truth of him, and was his friend without any selfish agenda. she is a good person, a person who would never try to claim another's story as her own, which is exactly why harlan trusted her with his life, his home, and his legacy. he couldn't have known what would happen, but he knew she would do her best to honor his memory after he was gone. ultimately though, no matter who else tried to write or edit it (including harlan), this is marta's story and hers alone to live and change and discover.

this has been a long post already so i'll end it here but suffice it to say that over four years post-release, i'm still so fascinated by the ways these characters actively try to either rewrite the story playing out in front of them, or reveal the truth at the heart of things (as blanc would say, the hole inside of the donut's hole). this movie just makes my storytelling and puzzle-loving nerd heart go BRRRRR

#knives out #knives out 2019 #mine #knives out meta #knives out analysis #idk what else to tag 🤷🏻‍♂️ but if you actually read all this pls reblog and tell me ur thoughts!!! #it means a lot !! #esp since tumblr tried to SILENCE ME by refreshing after i had done a lot of editing and drafting and making me lose my progress >:( #so if this seems meandering and nonsensical it's bc i had to try and rewrite a lot of it from memory lol 🙃 #anywayyyy knives out tumblrinas rise up!!!

[emberwood-if]

Hello! Long time no see! I haven't been active in a meaningful way since early January. A lot of Not-So-Good things have happened (as well as good things) in my life and Emberwood kind of got lost in the mess.

I opened up the chapter 2 file and reread it and decided to just put it out. It's done, and it works, but it can be better so I'll consider it an alpha chapter. My beta testers offered great, great comments and corrections and critiques and so I have made the decision to go back and rewrite and update once I'm more on top of things. I just wanted to share it with you guys because Chapter 2 has been collecting dust in my files a while now and I don't see why I wouldn't post it.

so here it is!

DEMO (PROLOGUE + CHAPTER1 + CHAPTER2// 106,261K words)

I *highly* advise rereading from the beginning for a refresher (it's been a while.)(it might break anyway.) Also, I would say ignore the stats and the stat page as I have plans to overhaul that. There's probably some errors and stuff but there shouldn't be any game breaking errors (aka you should be able to play the entire demo.)

Just to reiterate: Chapter 2 will eventually get overhauled and updated.

If there are any errors, I would rather get reports at [email protected] since I am not on Tumblr much.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, your enthusiasm and everything else!

AAAAAHHH!!! Mer au be upon ye

Been working on designs for my fanfic (that I'll probably be rewriting I don't like how I characterized them).... fish archie.

He's based on a Demanson's Cichlid :3 which are. really difficult to draw for some reason

More under the cut!!! Fish rambling and lore stuff. Plus fish maxie that I am currently too lazy to color or otherwise finish

Man I love mer aus. Uhm. FISH BEAM BLAST AUGHHH!!!

Archie is currently 37 years old in this au (unless I change it. LOL)

Him, along with Matt and Shelly (and maybe other members of team aqua in the rewrite. idk), live in the wreckage of a ship fairly deep underwater, choosing to stay as far away from humans as possible. In contrast to this, Maxie and his group take more inspiration from humans in their little settlement thingy, choosing to take scraps of metal and other things to build their home.

Most merfolk live in groups called pods, in the rework of the fanfic I'll elaborate more on this but. I'm lazy right now. Sorry.

Anyways Archie is generally more like??? adventurous and stuff, and him and the other members of his pod are like. really tight-knit. They're also generally more muscular than the members of Maxie's group, choosing to hunt fish & other prey using their own strength and speed, whereas the magmas use traps and stuff.

Also. Maxie has a collection of little human trinkets and stuff. Most of the space in his den/house thing is just like. trinkets. He also has a very unfriendly relationship with dolphins. I admittedly haven't done much with it in the original since it's... y'know... one chapter at the moment... but ill do more in the rewrite i prommy.

ANYWAYS!!!! Fish beam blast MAXIE

He's a common mudskipper. I love common mudskippers and just mudskippers in general really. Top tier fish.

He doesn't have glasses because. reasons involving the fact that he lives in the ocean.

However. I plan on giving him glasses eventually, he'll probably find a pair and think "Oh joy!! A new human invention I have not yet seen! Joyous day!!" and he decides to constantly wear them even though they make his vision like, ten times Worse.

Goodbye for now. I will inevitably post more Fish later. like when i finish the maxie design. LOL!!

(If you would like to read the fanfic even though it's like. ugly at the moment. It's "Sunlight on the Ocean's Like the Scars on Your Skin" on a03. Enjoy.)

[saline-coelacanth]

Not sure how much I'm gonna post about this au, but I've been really wanting some Oppo content, so bam, Beauty and the Beasts you Oppo.

Here's the design I made for Zane since he takes the role of the Beast:

I mainly wanted to give him mainly dragon and bird features while still being ice themed. Oh, and he's also based on the Ice Emperor because that was the main reason I wanted to make Zane the Beast was because of the whole Ice Emperor thing.

Btw, I have already figured quiet a bit of stuff out (my brain decided to hyperfixate HARD on this concept) and this isn't a one for one retelling of Beauty and the Beast, if anything it's more of a rewrite of s11 (specifically the ice chapter) that follows the basic plot of Beauty and the Beast. Hopefully that makes sense, but if not I will be happy to info dump about my idea.

Anyway, here's some actual Oppo for the au

Also for people who don't know, I tend to draw Zane as the same height as Kai. I know a lot of people normally make him tall, but I am in the minority there. So yeah, Beast form Zane is MUCH bigger than he usually is. But enough notes, I wanna give a basic rundown of the plot. I'll put that under the cut just because it'll probably get a little long.

So basically, the fire chapter happens like normal, Zane gets sent to the Never Realm, Vex gives him amnesia and manipulates him into becoming the Ice Emperor. But things take a turn when the scroll ends up corrupting Zane in a much more drastic way, turning him into a literal monster. And the staff itself becomes frozen in place, no longer able to be held by Zane (though he still 'channels' power from it) When the staff corrupts Zane, it also leaves a message that says something along the lines of "A strong flame from the heart is needed to melt the curse" and Zane just assumes he needs literal fire.

Meanwhile, the ninja travel to the Never Realm looking for Zane, having no idea what happened to him. Eventually, Kai ends up as a prisoner at the Ice Emperor's castle where the Emperor thinks Kai is the key to breaking the curse due to him claiming to be the fire ninja. Problem is that Kai's powers still aren't back. At the same time, Kai is still focused on finding Zane and he isn't actually able to recognize that the Ice Emperor IS Zane. And obviously the Ice Emperor doesn't know that he's Zane because of the whole amnesia thing.

And yeah, then it plays out pretty similar to the movie where they start off not liking each other, but then Zane softens up and they begin to fall in love. And if anyone is wondering who the villain is, it's still Vex. He doesn't play the same role as Gaston, instead his main goal is trying to get rid of Kai since he doesn't really want the curse to be broken since Zane is easier to manipulate when he's all depressed about his monster form.

And yeah, that's my idea for a Beauty and the Beast Oppo Au. I might make more of this au since it has been a lot of fun to think about and it also gives me an excuse to draw more oppositeshipping <3

#ninjago #lego ninjago #my art #ninjago au #beauty and the beast au #oppositeshipping #zane julien #ice emperor #kai smith #kai jiang #but yeah if anyone is more interested in this au i will gladly ramble about it more #i'm also glad that my laptop was able to work and i was able to get this art done #hopefully my laptop stays working because if it breaks i will probably cry

🇺🇲: I tried to redraw that classic Maribug pose (but with a bit of distance between both to show the design haha) with my LB design and a "preview" of my Marinette and Tikki design (I'll definitely change them in the future though). I was trying to go for a way simpler style than that but ended up failing lol- I'll try again in the future

(More versions under the cut)

I'll also probably revisit all those designs eventually, since I still dislike some parts a bit and *IF* I ever do the AU/Rewrite I want to, I'd probably at least do a simplified version of the designs so it would be easier to draw in the comic

I know I take WAY TOO LONG to post but (I'm lazy and) I've been kinda busy- but I'll try to post my Hawk moth redesign probably before the year ends lol

After I do the 3 main ones, I'm not sure if I should do their civilian designs first or do the other heroes- but I'm also not really sure if I'll do ALL the heroes (at least right now) since, if I ever do the AU I plan to, I don't know if I'll give all the characters a miraculous (and if I do, I also don't know if I'll keep them with their original ones since I'm changing the power system). So, if I don't do the civilians first, I'll probably do only the secondary holders (QB, Rena, Carapace, Mayura and Argos) because I'm sure I'll keep those

But I assure you I'll definitely not give up on my "redesign series" :D (even if I take IDK, one year to post the next one haha)

🇧🇷: Tentei refazer aquela pose clássica das Maribug (mas com um tico de distância entre elas pra mostrar melhor o design kkkk) com meu design da LB e uma "preview" do meu design da Tikki e da Marinette (Mas eu vou definitivamente mudar eles no futuro). Eu tava tentando fazer um estilo BEM mais simples que esse mas acabei falhandokkkk mas vou tentar dnv no futuro

Eu também provavelmente vou revisitar todos esses designs eventualmente, já que eu ainda não curto muito algumas partes, e *SE* eu algum dia fizer a comic da AU/Rewrite que eu tô planejando, eu provavelmente vou pelo menos fazer uma versão simplificada dos designs pra que fique mais fácil de desenhar nos painéis

Eu sei que eu demoro pra krl pra postar mas (eu sou preguiçosa e) eu ando meio ocupada- Mas eu vou tentar postar meu redesign do HM provavelmente pelo menos antes do ano acabarkkkk

Depois que eu acabar os 3 principais, não sei se eu devo primeiro fazer os designs civis deles ou os outros heróis- mas eu tb não tenho certeza se eu vou fazer TODOS os heróis (pelo menos por agora) já que, se eu algum dia fizer a AU que eu planejo, não sei se vou dar um miraculous pra todos os personagens (e mesmo se eu der, não tenho ctz se eles vão continuar com suas jóias originais já que eu tô mudando o sistema de poder). Então, se eu não fizer os civis primeiro, provavelmente vou fazer só os portadores secundários (QB, Rena, Carapace, Mayura e Argos) pq esses eu tenho ctz q vou manter

Mas eu garanto que eu definitivamente não vou desistir da minha "série de redesigns" :D (mesmo que eu demore sei lá, um ano pra postar o proximokkk)
