#it brings me joy to create

[chill-zelda-person]

apparently I am someone

OK SO

I hate my desire to stay as true to the games as possible. especially when there are still so many games I haven't watched a play-through of yet.

I ALSO HATE having to come up with a plot. That stuff is difficultttt (I'm working on it tho)

One more thing, I wish my younger self was more creative with names. I didn't know this at the time, but half the names I picked were already being used by the LU community. So, just a heads up, I'm probably going to be changing a few names soon.

#thank you telly #you are like #on of the major reasons i'm still working on this #and I'm glad #it brings me joy to create #but its nice to have people appreciate it and interact ya know #ollie's old au

*Sigh* I have an obsession with Pizza Head-

(I also drew Peppino for good measure-)

ALSO- I don’t know who exactly made this sheet but I used the poses from this 👇

I again don’t know who made these but GOD are they talented.

I was looking on Google for reference poses but these are god like and I loved using them, so whoever you are who made this sheet, I SINCERELY thank you 🙏 🙇‍♀️

#Pizza Tower #Pizza Head #Peppino #Skecthes #I love him so much #He is so comforting to draw and I CAN’T STOP #Ngl I’m proud of these- THIS BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY I LOVE ART AND MY HANDS THAT HAVE ME CREATE THESE JUST THANK YOU- #Also I need to get a new sketchbook cuz I ran out of pages already- 😭

me laughing at the same jokes i’ve heard 1000 times every time i listen to/watch a recording of phantom

#and i swear it gets funnier every time! #was dying while listening to an audio today #(it was specifically nehal joshi during the il muto ballet) #(i could not stop laughing and i couldn’t even SEE him it was just his delivery) #(ugh he’s so funny i love him) #poto shitpost #also side note im about to go on a tangent #but my phantom hyperfixation runs so deep and i have so many thoughts about it #i have at least 100 posts in my drafts about it and i’m not exaggerating #they’re mostly silly memes but it’s still like an overload of posts about phantom #and i’m like. insecure about how much i think about it???? and how much of my headspace i dedicate to it???? #so i keep the bulk of the memes/random posts in my drafts because i just feel weird about posting so much #i really could post about it 24/7 if i didn’t have to be a Person with Tasks #and idk i think im just hyper-aware of how i present my interests in daily life while offline #i am someone who hyperfixates and obsesses and while i could talk about phantom for years i am terrified of annoying people with my interest #i’m worried about being perceived as weird so i kind of flatten myself to make myself more palatable for others #which has me being insecure about the things i’m passionate about and how deep that passion runs #and these feelings have bled online to the specific space i have created as an outlet for my passion #like it’s my blog i shouldn’t be censoring my love for a thing that brings me joy #but my fear of being othered is like. overtaking me. because there are many things that i can’t change about myself #that categorize me as an ‘other’ (sexuality identity mental health etc) #and this is something i can control. i can control how i portray my personality #so i flatten my personality to compensate for the other (perceived) weird things that can’t be changed #idk i just shouldn’t feel the need to do that here bc pretty much everyone on here is super passionate about something #like obsessive about it #and that’s what i love about this site with all its faults. like this is a space for people to come and Be Weird and Act Strange #and everyone just accepts it #and also the phantom community in general #why should i water down my love for phantom in the one place where people can understand it and relate to it??? #hit the tag limit but i’ve come to multiple revelations while typing this lmao

Hey, I love your art and posts, and I just want you to know that everytime I scroll through your blog and see your art I frequently picture my boi Kveltertak and your ocs (Ross in particular) living in the same city and being the kind of friends that occasionally get drinks together, helping out with the odd favour or protest, and Kveltertak bringing small treats/trinkets the other person would enjoy whenever they meet up. -.u.-

no exaggeration, I love this so much. I think my favorite thing about this project I’m workin on is that there’s so much room and ease for folks to just come into Ross’ life. Living intensely and meeting new people is a true joy, characters included.

I’d LOVE for them to hang out! Ross would bring the tea/coffee order if your boy’s got the treats. The vibes sound exactly like his ideal sorta day; just goin with the flow and following the action whether that’s at the club or a street needing defending.

If Kveltertak ever happens to swing into Montréal between 2064 and 2080, Ross always has a couch to crash on :3 <3

#thanks for sending this to me #it brings me truly great joy when folks wanna just hang out with Ross #it helps me feel like I’ve created the safe character I always wanted to know #Fox answers asks

me grabbing eyrie and shaking them is it not enough to have gone through four ships by now. is it not enough for you funny man

#first thancred then g’raha and then zenos and now I’m still thinking about redacted #I can’t even mention and expansion or it’s gonna be so obvious #moots can stash this post in a folder and in two months I’m gonna be goofy pool #me furiously filing away things into AU’s before accepting at this point there just isn’t a canon #okay okay haurchefant doesn’t count bc I never really entertained beyond what the plot gave us #and with thancred it turned into a they had sex once or twice in ARR and it wasn’t ever a relationship #even though they did end up with a messy friendship in post HW + ShB of unresolved guilt #G’raha slipped into they worked better as friends tbh #Zenos is a can of worms of you get to au’s funny man #and I’ve been vibing a lot with the one where he dies and there’s a lot of complicated grief for eyrie #and the nebulous status of what they meant to each other #enemies or friends or kindered spirit or the hero and the villain aren’t so different #I am NOT SPEAKING redacted into the world #I’m gonna rotate it in my brain #owen talks #no consistent canon we create what brings joy in the moment #and look back at what we once created with the affection of something that once made us very happy

There's something about sharing your story ideas and having someone else be interested too that's so encouraging and inspiring!! And it truly means so much 🥹 I was telling @polaroidcats about my unnamed fairytale fic last night, and after almost two months of no writing or drawing, I'm excited about creating again 💕

#of course it's understandable i haven't been in the mood at all while grieving #and it's still difficult but creating brings me joy and it was so fun to talk about #thank you cat yet again for being so encouraging <3 😭🥰 #unnamed fairytale fic #cat tag

Is it normal to develop depression/ general anhedonia after a trauma is over?

#that question seems almost rhetorical #but damnit. #it feels as if nothing matters #i feel no joy creating crafts or drawings or writing poems. it just feels like a way to give the feeling time passes faster #like it feels futile #it does not bring me any joy. #there is no motivation because it does achieve no change in my emotional state or situation #i cant value my efforts #because why? what does it change about my situation? #i guess im complaining again #better talk to myselves #how to care for a friend who is severely depressed if you are severely depressed yourself

Hey!! I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work <3<3

I had been a little down when it came to creating more content or being involved in Zukka side of the fandom but seeing your update reminded me to just have fun. And okay this is going to sound bad but I swear I mean this as a compliment; I thought I was wasting my time working for months and years on the stuff I made, but then I realized your fic series brings me so much joy and I'd never, ever judge you for the amount of effort you put into your writing. Seeing it's actually inspiring, to see that someone holds that much passion and creativity and you are sharing it all for FREE. That a person could take all this time to intricately weave together a story, create memorable OCs, breathe new life and make the ATLA world so much bigger than it ever was in canon.

So thanks for accidentally giving me a kick in the butt to stop being judgy about my own work and making me realize you and every fan creator is AWESOME.

I hope you have a wonderful day, your writing is a blessing.

awwww I wanted to say thank you for sending me this ask! I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there, even on anon, so I think it’s cool you felt confident enough to come here and tell me about how you’re feeling.

I don;t think what you’re saying is bad at all haha, because honestly, I feel the same way. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered why the fuck am I still doing this? What’s the point? Do people even still care? What if it’s not good enough? What if people discover I have no fucking idea what I’m doing? Why am i spending so much of my time and effort doing this?? I mean… the self doubt is super real, and shiiiiiit let me discover one person that feeds into my self doubt and I’m full on spiraling haha. (Be nice to creators damn it! we are doing our damn best lol)

I’m really glad you think my fic is awesome, and if it weren’t people like you reminding me, I probably would have given up a long time ago haha. I do give my fic a lot of effort, and I hope you continue to give your creations the same amount of love and effort! I’m sure you’re amazing, and seriously don’t give up! I care about your creations and if I don’t get to stop neither do you! WOHOOO!!

Thanks for the ask anon sorry it took me so long to answer

#I am the kind of person who is like AWWWW NO ASKS… #then I get an ask and I’m like YAY ASK!!! #& then I;m like OH NO HOW DO I ANSWER THIS ASK!?!?!? #but then if I don’t get an ask in a while I assume everyone hates me and then the cycle starts over again when I get another ask #but seriously anon DON’T STOP CREATING!!!!! #I wish the voices in our head weren’t constantly trying to discredit us #I also think the pressure we put on ourselves to be good enough is fucking dumb #like who cares if people like reblog comment kudo all that stuff #but ugh we all care so much #I love that you see all my passion and creativity in LIAB because I do put a lot of effort into that stupid fic #and yeah it stresses me out but when I see that it brings people joy and its worth it #& its not even that it’s stressful to write #I fucking love writing it #but yeah don’t think you’re alone with the ‘what’s the point’ thoughts #I’m sure we’ve all been there #at least I know I have been there #and kind of still am in there hahaha #thanks for this ask anon I hope I didn’t ramble too much #I hope you show me when you create something new! I’d love to see it #LIAB #ask

Tagging this with the fandom critical tag just to be safe but. I appreciate everyone who offered kind words not just to me but to each other yesterday.

We’re a community. It’s good to look up and remember just how many people are quietly doing their own thing alongside me.

I felt a bit guilty for adding notes to what in hindsight was just inflammatory hatred. I wonder if giving them attention didn’t just inspire them to be louder in their unkindness. But after hearing how friends, mutuals, and strangers were upset over the post in question? Worth the BS. OC fic writers get so much shit already. We should stick together, not ridicule and beat each other down.

I emulated their flippant tone as I offered my rebuttal. But genuinely, I do love your Tavs and Durges— because even if I personally don’t enjoy a story someone is telling, I still know how difficult it is to tell it and how brave it is to share it where strangers can see.

I love that you’re creating.

I have a lot of opinions about what makes good writing. More opinions than that person, even. I’m critical of my own work and I’m critical of others’ in turn. But at the end of the day, putting love into the world is more important. And that’s what the connections of social media are meant to foster for fandom. Shared love.

So fuck Enver Gortash ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) And do it how you want. Love from me to you 💞

#bg3 fandom critical #babymoding #at the end of the day not everything on the internet is for me #and I have spent the past decade improving my craft so I can create things which ARE for me #I grew up in peak ‘Mary Sue’ era and even two decades on I still struggle with insecurity and inadequacy about ‘over-self-indulgence’ #I don’t want to see that cruel mindset passed on. I want to see writers new and old doing what brings them joy. #so please know that even if people diss you for writing a thing I will not. fiction exists for fantastical wish fulfillment and catharsis #I support you #from afar even if not from a-near #fandom wank

[bylertruther]

older!byler is EVERYTHING to me 🥺 the idea that they can and will reach adulthood after everything that's happened to them, all of the close calls they've had, and the people they've lost along the way is just... [clenches fist] that they'll live to witness a time when their love is no longer something they have to deny themselves and hide if they want to survive, when it can be not just protected under the law but celebrated and cherished, too. that they'll live to witness a time when they can be exactly who they are in their each and every shade without apology or shame, crafting a life together that brings them joy, safety, and fulfillment—things they often went without as children. like... they just... they deserve it. 🥺

#I HAVE SO MANY FEELING S................. #THEY ARE SO ......... #i like to think tht they'd have kids... bc i just thought it was so cute how mike introduced 'baby holly' to el and asked her if she liked #her grapes 🥺 he was so like. happy n proud n endeared and with how nurturing and attentive mike is...? bro. he'd be a really good dad. #i mean. he found el and immediately housed clothed and fed her. at the fucking age of twelve so liek. yanno. #BUT ANYWAY #them creating their own family and wanting to break their cycles n be better than their parents is a thought tht makes me Happie #brings me joy n fuzzie feelings n such. slams hand on the table More Adult!Byler Fics NOW #even without a family adult!them just makes me so happy. i would like to read about those old men being in lvoe with each other 1000x pls
