I have more reasons but I don’t have the energy to write them right now.

But yeah, I’ve been thinking about what I’d be if I were in Faas and Enya’s universe and I thought I’d be a changeling as well for a while for many reasons, but upon further consideration I think I was wrong. So here’s the first concept art for a my avian persona.

As for the songs (which was one of the main influences on why I started thinking about avians because I realized that over the last six months the majority of songs I’ve been obsessed with have bird centric undertones at the very least) you can find them here

#my art #this is the first fluid pose I’ve managed to do in a long time and I’m so proud of it #also I was drawing the headshot at co-op and multiple kids came up behind me and were like #ooo cool bird person #it was still a sketch at that point so I was happy it translated as bird #and just compliments from kids are the best ones #avian character design #character design #persona #Ava art #avariel #avian #bird humanoid #the wings and coloration are based on a female cutthroat grosbeak #because I’ve always really loved their markings- even more than the males #and upon researching into them I’d say we actually have quite a bit in common #they are usually very solitary birds #the biggest group you’ll find them in is nesting pairs #they are rather elusive #they live mostly off seeds nuts and fruits #which I relate heavily to lol #they care for their young a nearly after they’ve fledged #sometimes longer #there were other things but I can’t remember them #will add them when I remember #small artist #artists on tumblr #chibi style #digital art #young artist

While I was in Japan during March 2024, I was able to visit the Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live 10th Anniversary Exhibit. This is my favorite anime of all time, so it was an incredible honor.

Unfortunately, you could not take pictures in many areas and I always try my best to be respectful and follow the rules. So, I will describe it.

The walls of the first room were covered in several tapestries depicting each individual episode of the anime, so you could reminisce about everything that happened as you slowly walked through the room. In the middle of the room, there were several exhibits perfectly recreating every single paper, notebook, sketch...

Hokkaido itinerary? Wakana and Bell's test scores? Momo's Happy Rain costume sketches? Naru and Bell's manager applications? The score to pride? Any piece of paper you can think of that appeared in PRRL, it was all HERE! Recreated with meticulous accuracy...

The next room was the photo room where you could take pictures in Prism Stone or in front of Rinne's feathers.

Something else they had here which was really neat, was all of these mini photo ops of various scenes from the anime that you could put your plushies or figures into! As I rarely have someone with me to take photos of myself at events like this, and I rarely post them even when I do, NGL I loved it. I wish I had brought something! I did have a PAF Naru on my bag I could have used, but it would have taken time to unpin her so unfortunetly I did not.

The next room contained an exhibit of various merch from throughout the years.

Unfortunately, there wasn't really much merch to look at in the classic section. Just the guitars, some stones, and the Smart Pod Shot. But I definitely think there was more than that back in the day! There has to have been because I own at least one thing that was not in here (a pool bag) haha!

They also had a REAL prism guitar on display, which apparently they are actually going to sell at some point!?

The last part of the exhibit before going to the gift shop, was a hallway with messages from all the voice actresses and the director. This was also a zone where photos were banned, but I remember in the director's he acknowledged Rainbow Live as being the only Pretty Rhythm season to achieve a 10th anniversary celebration and ended his commentary with "Glorious Pretty Rhythm" hahaha. Next was the gift shop...

Which was honestly super disappointing... I was prepared to spend a lot of money here, but in the end, I barely bought anything. Everything, EVERYTHING good was blind and the stuff that wasn't was just so expensive.

Like, they had this set of Hiro cards with his magazine covers and debut poster and I really wanted them but when I actually saw them it was like... 2,000 yen? FOR THREE CARDS!? Those tiny little cards you can see up there below the keychains?

????????????

Am I missing something!?

In the end I bought two Wakana boards and two clear files. And the one blind thing I couldn't resist was the Prism Stone badges... which turned out to be Otoha x2 and one Ann. Gah.

I also might have bought a Wakana plush doll, but she was sold out. Out of all the Rainbow Live girls she was the only one sold out both here and at Tokyo Station Prism Stone.

And here were the bonuses I got. Including, yes, the AiPri card. So for people who saw me posting it over on @pretty-idol-hell, this was where it came from.

I also got a very special letter, which I am saving to translate at a later date...

Outside the event was an up and running Pretty Rhythm machine, or so I thought. Wow, no line! I said to myself as I happily bounced up to it only to find the coin slot taped over and a sign reading it could not be used. Darn. (I know there's no prism stones left in the wild, but come on, there's no free play mode...? Well, I guess even if there was they wouldn't want people loitering around the exhibition.)

Anyway, as you read I did have a few complaints, but it still makes my heart happy that this event existed at all. I loved all the time and effort that went into making all the recreations of things!

Transproxy tips? I'm a proxy to Slenderman (/srs I'm a pop culture pagan) and wanna feel more connected to him and use my transition as an act of devotion.

@radhell

I shall try my best , here is something similar that I have posted before that may also help . Once again , as a Jeff fictive , I'm mainly gonna be basing these tips from what I have personally seen proxies do .

TRANS - PROXY ...

Firstly - what do they do ? They maintain order around a given location , translating Slenderman's thoughts and speech , making sure nothing is in the way of Slender's orders . They work and serve Slenderman .

The man (?) tends to forcefully recruit his workers , yet I have seen some who ' enlisted ' on their own .

Before enlisting , you would be doing yourself the biggest favour by training . Start running , take up climbing and parkour , learn how to use a weapon / self defence . Already knowing those aspects will help you to not endure torturous training in the circle .

Know what you're dipping into , once you enlist , you can't leave - only death can take you out of that circle , so prepare mentally .

Know how to navigate forests , you're gonna be spending lots of time in them . Know how to use a compass , know how to quick-sketch maps , how to read the time without a clock .

Desensitize yourself to blood , you're gonna be seeing it more than normal .

Now , here's how to enlist into The Proxies ;

Make sure your devotion is known and heard - once you feel uneasy , as if someone is watch you , that's when you should do this ; .. At around midnight , on a new moon , go into the forest / woods . Take a known trail , if you see unfamiliar paths , ignore them . .. Do not bring any sort of cameras , phones , electronics . Bring a flashlight . You can use your phone flashlight - yet turn off your location / completely reset your phone . .. Keep your eyes to the ground , do not look up - if you feel / hear someone follow , do not run . Walk in a normal pace . If you feel sick , nauseous , hear ringing , have blurry vision , numbness ; do not back down , keep looking down and walking the path . .. If your flashlight starts flickering , do not freak out , keep going . If your phone starts to let out static / randomly start playing radio channels , do not freak out - you are allowed to brisk-walk . .. If your flashlight starts rapidly flickering , stop walking and close your eyes tightly . Listen around you , if you hear someone close - do not freak out , keep still . .. Once you feel a faint voice in your head - answer it out loud , answer it's questions truthfully and only truthfully . .. If you feel some sort of stinging / tingling at a specific point on your body , do not freak out , stay still ; congratulations , you were accepted . If you do not feel this , if the voice goes quiet for way too long , you shall walk backwards a little bit until you can turn around and leave the forest , you were not selected . When you have been accepted - the stinging point is generally where your identification symbol is ( The Operator Symbol ) . From what I've seen , it's in places where you can just easily flash it at someone to identify yourself - yet it can range from person to person .

So , if you became those proxy fucks , congrats buddy - from what I've seen , there is a hierarchy to proxies , the new ones don't get the dirty work , although worship has been positively received .

Hope the best for you and your journey - happy transitioning < 3

Happy Halloween! 🎃 I give you Bunny Edward! 🐰

oh wow, i actually did something for halloween :0 shooketh (/s /j)

ok but in all seriousness, i wanted Edward dressed as an animal after watching Thomas' Animal Friends (Season 24), so I did it myself. >:3 Used the design he would have in present day so he's got his piercings! Really happy with how this came out. I went with something simplistic, reminiscent of the James and Edward screenshot redraw I did a while ago. Still love that one, despite some proportion issues.

The bunny costume is a play-on of multiple things:

For starters, the breed he's dressed as is the Smoke Pearl rabbit, which is native to Scotland. (CHONK)

In Mattel's interpretation of the steam engines as zodiac signs, Edward was labeled as a Cancer (like me! :D). You know who else is a Cancer? Usagi Tsukino. What does her name translate to? Rabbit of the Moon. SPEAKING OF! I was originally going to replicate the motion of this pose (with Edward as an engine)...

...but it didn't work out. Sketches were done on paper, which were really messy. Managed to make it work though. 👍👍👍

"Bunny" is Edward's nickname that was initially given to him by his crews during his time on the FR. James reuses the nickname when they start dating but by that point, he doesn't know that Bunny was one of Edward's previous nicknames. The reason why Edward was called Bunny in the first place by both parties was because he has the tendency to twitch his nose subconsciously when he gets upset.

also guess who figured out that Krita has layer styles like Photoshop does? meeeeee <3333 (access to Photoshop is limited to schoolwork. not ideal for drawing, imo but great for graphic design)

Been a little while since I last answered some asks, so -- replies below the cut!

Here ya go! Also tossed it in my sta.sh in case Tumblr crunches it.

Aha, don't worry, Chris! You'll get to experience plenty of horrors soon that'll validate your weird dreams!

All things considered, Chris is handling things pretty well right now, but I think he'd still accept a hug!

I whipped out my extensive comic collection (four of The Adventure Zone graphic novels) to get some inspiration for this! Those books tend to have a pretty basic back cover with a couple of the main/supporting characters tossed onto it, and I can see something similar working for Purity Town considering how many NPCs there are overall in the game (even though the number we've actually seen in the comic up to this point is much lower)!

:D Thanks for reading! I can't always manage to finish pages on time, but I do my best and I'm glad y'all're enjoying updates.

My first experience learning about the whole Guide/WoF thing was...I think a Stampy Cat video years before I even knew what Terraria really was. I assumed it was the scary final boss of the game, and didn't think anything more on it for half a decade. And then 1.4 came along and I got incredibly attached to the character. That's just how it goes!

For what it's worth, I will make the disclaimer: while I find it interesting to push characters and write how they react as they crack, at the end of the day, I do write happy endings. And there's plenty of room for more happy one-shots in the AO3 fic!

I kept the monsters in a sketch/low-detail/silhouetted style mostly to emphasize that Chris' dreams were strange and imprecise, but it was still cool to play around with monster designs a bit! Translating designs from the game version to comic characters can be weird because you need to account for the game expecting you to always see them from a particular angle -- the Wall of Flesh is the most extreme/obvious example of this. When we get to seeing more of Plantera proper I'll definitely have to brush up on my flower-drawing skills, haha.

I haven't actually built it out in a Terraria world proper! The world used in the blog header is a screenshot from the world I first beat the game in.

As far as a general description goes, the main town is located in a forest biome with the snowy-mountains-and-lake background. In the main area of town is the tavern and the nurse's clinic, plus the (now abandoned) clothier's store. Andrew also lives in the forest town, though slightly up-hill from it, so that he has to walk through some trees before he gets into the town square itself.

For the most part I imagine characters living in the biome they prefer in-game (with exceptions for those who like the Hallow), though the bulk of folks live in the Purity Town. The settlements in the other biomes are smaller, since having the pylons means you can go wherever you need to go for business quite easily.

Thanks! Terraria has some crazy lore once you start digging into it -- I think it'd be really cool to see "Zullie the Witch"-style lore deep dives just going ham on the minutiae of NPC interactions and Bestiary entries.

But in any case, getting to take all of that and work it into the comic here and there is good fun :D

Thank you!! I had a lot of fun with this chapter's cover, especially with the lighting and the border around the top. The Aether/shimmer stuff and the more glowy critters like faelings and prismatic lacewings are just such a delight to draw, haha.

"You wallow in guilt, I thrive in spite"

Say hello to PINK, I thought it only right I introduce her after SILVER, birds of a feather and all that.

PINK wonders a lot of things, first and foremost, is it still love if they tear you apart and twist you back together different?

PINK was a crow, at some point.

Process details + hazbin thoughts below the cut!

I spent a really long time on this one!

She was SUPER fun to change into a more updated design!!

In have some hella old digital doodles of her, but this one was the cleanest. I've kept the most important elements but I've exaggerated stuff like the hat and the triangular shape of her clothes, at some point I'll do a layers-breakdown for both SILVER and PINK's clothes!

So, for MOST of my watercolour pieces, I don't want to immedietly fuck up on my nice paper, so I do a sketch and a colour test to see if what I have in mind would work, which honestly is a LIFE SAVER but like, it means everything takes so SO long and I hate my work for a little while shjdhajgkjljaodfj I actually really like the line work for both of these, but I'm glad I decided to redo her on the nice paper, I'm way more happy with the results!

Hazbin hotel stuff:

I genuinely think I would loooove to do Hazbin versions of PINK and SILVER??? they have SUCH fun stories that translate really well into a hazbin setting without fucking too hard with their core themes? I think both of them would be fallen angels. PINK would fall hard, she would fall fast and in flames, but SILVER would fall slow and meandering until all at once she drops through the last part like a stone. a near ten thousand year reunion in hell.

Sorry girl! I was working through my denial, faith in the system and guilt for those I would leave trapped in the cogs <3 yeah, had a TOUGH day in court yesterday, found out some bad shit <3

What do you mean you would burn the world down if you were strong enough to do it alone? what do you mean you're not alone anymore and heaven is looking awfully flammable???

went back to the sketchbooks around when i was going through yyh for the first time in 2019 and found a pile of near-yearly sticky note updates about my relationship with the series next to my first yyh doodles, a page full of kuwabaras. thought it'd be fun to share

+ more thoughts and old yyh art below

(it's crazy i didn't find any kurama-centric pages for months bc i think he's the one i doodled in the margins of class notes and stuff the most. his hair's pwetty and he gives me the least trouble outta any of the main 4)

something i noticed while skimming the two sketchbooks i took these from was how mean i was to myself at the time about my art. i guess it hit me more because i don't really spend hours going through my old sketchbooks over and over to track my progress and growth like i used to quite often. i guess it was only a little after when my self esteem was lowest (8th grade, tale as old as time), but... idk. i knew back then that i'd grown a lot in the few years since i started drawing more seriously (that's why i looked through my art so much), but like... i guess that never translated into being nice to myself about it. i ended up going back through about ten more sketchbooks to find more yyh art, and in the coming years i'm glad to say that negativity in the margins went away. hell yeah

but even so, my love for yyh was a constant and effusive thing, as it is now. it's probably the oldest of my current media interests. i watched myself get into rgg and develop my ocs and watched others fade in and out, watched my style loop back on itself and go all over the place, passed by pages of writing about crushes and album releases and gender discoveries and my grandparents dying, all surrounded by little drawings of the characters i love. including kuwabara in a maid dress right next to my dead grandma grief rambling that one time (no i'm not kidding. my grandma died in like late 2020 and the page where i poured my heart out after finding out she was gone just trying to process everything had one with catboy maid dress kuwabara directly opposite it, who i'd drawn like the evening before she died in her sleep. he killed my grandma from like 100 miles away he was that powerful. that wasn't even the last time i drew him like that and i don't even care about catboys or maid dresses much. i think it was just a bigger meme and he was the guy i most associated with cats. i put that man in a situation and he fucking got her because the book couldn't contain him. some victor frankenstein shit. anyway)

i took about 150 pictures, most with multiple sketches. i decided not to add any more though bc 1) i posted some of them on old accounts but i don't remember which ones, and tbh i value my anonymity a little too much 2) All Of The Pictures Turned Out Bad in ways i don't feel like getting into but just trust me it's like 6 layers of fucked up illegible image bullshit 3) i found it hard to narrow it down to things i felt were indicative of the development or interesting or anything like that. idk. i figured it was an interesting exercise for me and it probably wouldn't really mean anything to anyone else. and that's ok :) it was nice anyway. i mostly mention it to be like Oh My God i've drawn these guys a lot and i STILL don't know what i'm doing... :| it's fun

however i did transcribe the notes i left:

7/9/19: yo it's been less than a week & i'm on ep. 80 wtf i love this show

8/14/20: 1/2way thru my 3rd watch (first dub, first [with older sibling]) & honestly still love it & kuwabara being the first one i drew makes me happy

7/28/21: i'm watching it w/ [younger sibling] now! 4th(ish) watch, 2nd time through the dub, which is so much better than the sub really elevates the text. we're at the semifinals of the DT, which means this is technically my 5th time through yyh up until that point but eh semantics anyway i still love & obsess over yyh! <3

1/14/24 (present day): hey, i'm rewatching yyh for the.. idk 5th or 6th time. still love it & never stopped. now i'm writing fic & drawing & posting about it. i have friends i talk to about it. [both siblings] have seen it. so much has changed, and so little, but it made me sad seeing how much i insulted my own art. i love you 2019 me. god knows you needed it

[+ this drawing]:

anyway. forever fornever. if you even care

#that's all. just kind of a personal post i thought was neat. skrunklore #skrunkart #yyh #yu yu hakusho #you can really feel the 14 y/o in a lot of the little notes and stuff but that too is part of the growth and change im trying to celebrate.#ripping my fingernails off about it but it needs to be done #also the hearts are because they love each other. and also me in like a cheering you on kinda way #ok more lore but around jr year i started feeling like my art was getting worse or at least stagnating and i kind of wished i could go back #to the era where a lot of that art is from bc there were little things i was better at and also bc i was much more prolific and adventurous #and while i'm sympathetic to it looking back after another couple of years it's like nah. no i was still growing i was just too close to se #like i'll be like oughh i haven't grown at all in years >:(( and then i'll look at the art i made over the course of 2023 and go oh nvm lol #some of it was more 'getting back into the swing of things' + traditional and tech issues being resolved but there was also growth #there is also stuff to be proud of and there always is and there always will be. that goes for you too reader #no matter what your art does or does not look like. i guess that's part of why im posting this too #part of what got me into visual art was seeing how people's art changed (sketchbook tours). it's cool and seeing that learning process so #well preserved and so easily analyzed kinda activated something in my brain. i think it got me past a lot of the 'im just not talented'#stuff a lotta ppl have that keeps them from drawing or sharing it or whatever. anyway art's cool i love art. gonna go draw now probably :D #ALSO really funny watching the way i drew myself change. all in ways that make sense but still funny to me. long hair glasses girl you'd #probably keel over if you saw what we look like now. hell yeah

dropping into your inbox because i'm thinking about al <3

in what ways would you say they've changed the most since you created them? in what ways are they the same?

is there anything new you've recently added to their lore?

what's their relationship with the brotherhood of steel like? how'd they meet reed?

Thank you!!!💖🥰 I shall happily rant about my blorbo under the cut~

Hmmm... Al sort of popped into my brain fairly fully formed - or at least already part-way through the process of getting cooked. I tend to rotate ideas in my head for a bit before I decide if I will keep them or not.

Like, the first time I thought about them was how the presence of the LW in my Fo4 story would impact things, which meant I had to have a fairly good idea of who they would have been before that point - mostly running off the fact that Fo3 throws a lot of crap the players way, and they're pretty young for it all, so that had to have left a lot of scars (physical and mental). I've certainly ironed things out more and fleshed out certain niches of personality and backstory, but not so much that I feel I could specifically point anything out? The broad stuff is pretty much already there, I just have to actually get to writing things down to see how they change from here. (I keep telling myself I need to replay Fo3 at some point so I can take more notes on smaller things or things that could potentially change larger things, but I have a backlog of stuff I want to work on first.)

Mostly I'd say their visual appearance has changed more, but that sits more on my ability to convey it. I've always had at least a rough idea of how they should look, but getting ideas onto a canvas is a whole ordeal, especially since I am not well practised. I need to do more general sketching and working on different face shapes. The character sheet reference I am working on is closer to how I want them to appear, but I don't know yet if I am fully happy with it. It's also the first time I am drawing her from the front, so I'm not sure how well the changes will translate (maybe I should work on a new side shot of her too)? Time will tell. Overall, I feel I have drawn their face too rounded and feminine in the past, and my first drawing of them didn't have the right skin tone. I also still need to work out scars and any other markings, like more tattoos (or any piercings), which is another thing I need to return to Fo3 for as well.

-

Al's relationship with the Brotherhood is definitely complicated. They were brought there by Dr Li after James died and joined up as a way to better protect Dr Li and the other scientists while they completed Project Purity - viewing her fathers death as at least partially her own fault, since she was meant to be the muscle.

They didn't know a lot about the Brotherhood really, and they weren't in a good mental state and didn't think it through very well. If asked, they wouldn't say they agreed with most of the Brotherhood's ideals - they certainly don't follow the codex. Hell, they even work with the Railroad within the Capital when called upon (not super common - they have other people for most jobs - but it happens), so their personal stance within the Commonwealth's faction war turns out the be rather conflicted from that alone (the Brotherhood/Maxson don't know she works with them).

That's all a large part of why she's a Sentinel though. After the events of the main game, with nowhere else to go, Al tried to stick with the Brotherhood for a while but it didn't really work out. Other than the general conflict of ideals, they felt trapped by the routine and mostly staying in one place and listening to orders all day. Owyn saw that they struggled and decided to make them a Sentinel shortly before his death, letting them roam and (mostly) do as they please while still being considered a member of the Brotherhood (This wasn't entirely out of good will alone, since it allowed the Brotherhood to maintain a claim over The Lone Wanderer and still call on her when they needed, rather than forcing her to stick around until she'd likely cut ties and self-exile to get away).

Even still, they have a strong connection to the faction due to them being the only solid foundation for them to fall back on during such a hard time in their life, as well as having close relationships with Owyn, Sarah, Cross, and Arthur. Al can be doggedly loyal to those they care about, and again they don't always think their actions through before taking them - they're a fighter not a diplomat. She is aware that she's like that though, and isn't a total puppet.

-

As for meeting Reed... Well, I've already let @bokatan know I might've begun working on something 👀 Largely inspired by this post. But, I still need to write at least a first draft and then run it by Bo before I feel I can say much more on any of that.

(Also, to add a disclaimer, all Reed/Al stuff is an alternate OC-verse kinda thing, and not part of their actual stories.)

SxF interview & panel discussion at TICA

I was reading articles about Kyōji Asano (animation director) and Tetsuya Nakatake (producer) attending the Taipei International Comic and Anime International, so I’ve decided to share some of the interesting things I’ve read here.

In the YouTube live video,

11:10 Nakatake gestured how tiny Anya would be in real life. Asano then gave a quick demonstration on “how to pick up baby Anya and carry her on your shoulder”. I thought that was really cute. As if they all know Anya so well they are ready to babysit her at any second.

12:47 Asano drew a bunch of Anya’s faces. From 12:55 onwards he just started pointing at the faces he drew, and said he enjoyed drawing them very much.

15:54 Nakatake jokingly said they (I’m guessing he meant Nakatake himself, Asano and other staff members who also have children) could particularly relate to tired™ Twilight. They have children and understand how exhausting being a parent could be.

There are also displays of pictures of character designs and frames sketches. You can see they are particularly proud of the original designs and scenes they’ve created for the show.

No recording is allowed during the panel discussion. I’ve read several articles (Source 1, 2, 3) and a post by an attendee, and what they’ve shared are more or less the same:

1. They spent a month creating the second ED. They’d actually cooked all the food and presented them on a table so they could draw it. (Source three actually provides many interesting photographs of the food and the sketches hey’ve drawn while producing ED2.) It's such hard work, so much so for a 10-second scene the team had created 100-130 frames, and a member of the team even said he’s gonna quit, but they’d all persisted. Asano said their goal was to make the audience hungry while watching ED2, and was particularly happy to hear from the attendees that they have succeeded.

2. They had also drawn the food Yor made before pixelating it. And no, the team won’t show us what they originally look like. The team likes the scene where Yuri ate and threw up at the same time so much the animator put in extra effort to draw it. (Nakatake: Don’t you like sick characters like Yuri?)

3. The work atmosphere while creating AoT was more stern. On the other hand, it feels more lively when producing SxF. The work atmosphere is usually affected by the content they are creating. The animators have their own ideas they want to express as well, and it is a lucky coincidence when they get to animate a popular work they happen to be interested in, and the audience likes the product as well. They feel the bliss while creating the anime, and hope to create something the whole family can enjoy.

4. They create the OPs and EDs as something to add to the world-building. OPs and EDs also offer an opportunity for the team to show the audience their own interpretation of/ reflections on the story. They went on to explain how OPs and EDs are usually done. Most of the time they would have the song first. The musician would read the manga and write the song. The production team would then design the scenes that would match the song. The director confirms what scenes would be needed, and the animation team proceeds to create the OP/ED.

5. It is of utmost importance to make Anya cute. Asano suggested to draw her hair first, then the shape of her face. Draw her facial features last.

6. When asked of their favourite scenes, Nakatake said the interview scene where Loid punched the table was what inspired him to push the sxf animation project forward. Asano liked ep 5. He thought it made the story livelier.

7. Nakatake likes Yor the best. He says he wants to meet her in real life, and claims he doesn’t mind eating her food. (He also likes the scene where Bond ate the cookies Yor made and fainted.) Asano wants a daughter like Becky. If he had to choose between Anya and Becky, he would still choose Becky.

PS I've also shared an identical article here. I did the translation myself. I didn't translate everything. For example, Asano also mentioned AoT as another example of how they do original scenes. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this.

Skz x asexual partner

When they feel ready to get intimate | part 1

author's note: so I kept thinking about this one but never had time to do it, finally decided to put some work on it today. It was supposed to be only one post with all the boys but I started to feel bad again so I'm splitting it into two parts cause I need to go lay down a bit 🤒 I hope there is still people around to see this lol 😅

⚠️: suggestive

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

「BANG CHAN」

He got so nervous, he was probably more nervous than you, he kept asking if you were sure about it and after repeating 15 times he seemed to have actually believed;

He was so hyped, so hype he kept giggling to himself all day in the days before. You would go to the kitchen and catch him making himself food and giggling;

He wanted to make it special, he spent a lot of time doing his research on what he could do to make the night even more memorable;

He also kept making questions about it to you, he wanted to make sure you would be comfortable;

That day, he took you on a date, to a nice restaurant you wanted to go for a while now and he was the perfect gentleman, at home you started to get nervous, your heart beating so fast and threatening to jump out of your chest;

Once you got to his room, you calmed down a bit, it had such a chill vibe, the lights were low and he had music playing in the background, you two talked for a bit, mostly him making sure you were okay and when it happened it was natural, calm and even better than you imagined.

「LEE KNOW」

A nervous mess, when you told him he went pale. He likes to act all tough but he is very much fluff and warm inside. He kept thinking about it and the idea he would do something you didn't like actually made him lose sleep;

He didn't talk about it for days and you thought you had spooked him. You had to go back and reassure him there was no rush and you had no problem waiting until both of you were ready;

He tried to play it cool and say he wasn't worried, so you told him to stop being silly before you kick him in the balls and if you didn't trust him enough you would not have brought that up, to begin with;

You were both so nervous when it happened, he kept asking if you were okay the entire time, he was really sweet, leaving little pecks all around your body and whispering compliments in your ear, and after you two had showered he made you food.

「CHANGBIN」

Extremely happy. Would have taken you to bed on the spot but had to restrain himself to not scare you;

Don't get him wrong, he was excited about the sex but even more excited that you brought that up which means you trust him enough;

This boy lives for compliments and this was for him the biggest and best compliment he could ever get;

You weren't near as nervous as you thought you would be, deep down you knew you could trust him to lead the way, and that he did. He was very attentive and made sure you enjoyed every second of it;

He then proceed to spoil you even more in the days that followed.

「HYUNJIN」

Could have cried. You could swear he teared up a little bit. You were used to this from him, he is always very loving and he was very touched that you trusted him so much;

Went on to almost have a mental breakdown over what to do to make the night special. He always put so much effort into your dates and he wanted something that would top everything he has ever done for you;

Got to the point you had to sit down with him and explain that you love everything he does for you but he didn't need to go insane over it because anything he does is special to you;

He took you on a date and down memory lane, to the same spot you had your first date and in bed he made you promise to tell him if you wanted him to stop;

The next morning you woke up to sunshine peeking through the windows and him sketching a picture of you asleep in his sheets.

Hi! This is a sideblog for updates on the story I typically tag on my main blog as #adira. This story, in fact, is a series which I love very much. My main is @catkin-morgs

The first book (title chosen but redacted bc I don't want it to be too easy to find my under my author name lol) deals most with Adira's struggle in finding faith. Here's a summary of characters and themes and things.

Main themes:

Truth, what it is, how to find it etc

Integrity, staying true to what you believe in no matter the cost

Trust, who to trust especially as connected with the whole matter of truth

Stillness, characters struggle to be calm and still and await God's prompting and they are working on learning that

Important characters:

Adira. The protagonist. Lively, happy and tumultuous, with an unshakeable determination to find truth in whatever form it takes. I need to write a better character sketch of her.

Emily. Side/prominent background character. Complicated relationship with Adira, as she's adopted by Adira's parents but they aren't particularly close (they were as children) nor do they consider one another family. In previous drafts they were far closer, but it doesn't fit so much with how it's seeming at present.

Tom. Side/co-main character. Introduced during the first book and quickly becomes a beloved friend. Struggles with an illness (?) that has caused him to miss a year of school entirely and forces him to rely to some extent on Adira to help him with his classes as she is a whiz at his worst subject, history. Whether illness or injury or what, Tom ends up with a permanent disability that is walking-related.

Dorothy. Adira's mother. She may or may not be an important character in the first book depending on how much of her POV exists - she has some very important stuff that happens which sets up foreshadowing for later books, but worldbuilding may make it little enough that it's not worth including. Hence, she may be important or she may be merely background.

Neil. I don't even know what he's doing during most of this draft. He is introduced during the story and is important in one section - hence I may introduce him quite late or even find a way to work around needing him and introduce him between books.

Mr Saunders. Helps Adira with her doubts and has a complicated, unknown history with her mother. Neither will elaborate, but there's a lot of emotion between them.

Tom's family. They're important to help with the overall sense of community I want to build in this book, but I don't know how well that will translate or how long I'll spend on them.

Current progress: I've written so far three separate first drafts of the first book, one in 2018 (111k, abandoned), one in 2020 (52k, somewhat scattered), and one in 2021 (93k, not entirely coherent). I'm currently overhauling it (including rereading my 2020/2021 drafts which I may draw directly from) and plan to begin rewrites once I've completely re-outlined it and kept the bits I plan to keep. I'll likely at least somewhat outline the next few books as well, at the same time. I also need to do extensive research to ensure I portray Tom correctly, apart from anything else.

Book summary:

This is our world, but in the future, so to speak: a world which, once wracked by war, has settled into peace, with one Ruler, one hierarchy and one religion. The internet is a legend, a distant memory read of in books and wondered about. Everything in this world seems good. But there are dark things underway, and a system that will stop at nothing to preserve the status quo. Despite its seeming stability, pressure in the wrong ways could bring it down, and those who benefit from it are determined to make sure that is not the case. It is a system built on lies… what will they do to prevent the truth, once discovered, from getting out? And what, in any case, is truth? Adira has been confident she knows, all her life: but when another point of view comes into her life, it throws everything she thought she knew into disarray. She must discover the truth of the world before the uncertainty tears her apart, when friends and family are pulling her in both directions.

#adira #furnace of hope #pinned #catkin sideblog #writeblr #writers of tumblr #request an excerpt about/with any character and I'll either write one or find one from one of my drafts :D

15 Questions

tagged by @highwayphantoms tysm <3 idk if i have 15 mutuals who wanna do tag games rn, sooo YOU. YES YOU. you're jumped in if you want to be :)

Are you named after anyone?

I picked my own. :) It's inspired by trees and - if you translate it - also works as a stripper name. Just in case!

When was the last time you cried?

A month or so maybe? I did get a lil misty watching foster dog run around like a normal canine last week, especially when he put weight on his wonky leg. He's had a lot of PT and it's paying off!

Do you have kids?

Nope.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Me? Perish the thought. /s

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Probably always kindness, whether it's online or in person.

What's your eye color?

blue/gray I guess?

Scary movies or happy endings?

Why not both? I like both, but I'll rarely turn down a horror movie. I'm still evangelising about Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977) to anyone who'll listen, bc the world's a better place when you can watch weird artsy indie trash with friends.

Any special talents?

ummm… I'm going to say weighing ingredients accurately without measuring, but that may more likely be practise and recklessness rather than talent.

Where were you born?

Within the same 30 miles that half my dreadful fambly have lived for literally 500 years, but we left before I was 18 months old and didn't go back for over a decade and then I escaped again. The next time I move will be #26, so it's fair to say I've bounced around.

What are your hobbies?

In no particular order, reading, writing, movies, knitting/crochet/fiber thingies, growing stuff, fixing stuff, animal rescue/welfare stuff, painting/sketching, music (listening/playing… poorly), photography (mostly analog; I love my shitty Soviet cameras and Polaroids), hiking when I can. Poking around thrift/antique stores/museums in places I haven't been. If I collect anything per se, it's recipes and myths/folklore.

Have you any pets?

No permanent residents rn, but two foster dogs, one short term (hopefully; she just needs to complete leash training and get a little clearer on the difference between Inside and Outside, otherwise she's a sweetheart) and one long term project dog. In his defence, he came to me semi-feral and had been through a particularly brutal kill shelter. He has a lot of scarring both internal and external. Took 6 months+ to touch him, and now he'll walk on a slip lead for me (sometimes) and (gasp!) voluntarily snuggle and ask for pets. If he can get over yelling at and/or trying to defensively herd anyone who isn't me, he's got a shot at a new home, at which point I will ugly cry but be so, so happy for him.

…I like talking about my fosters. Rehab project tax (Chance):

What sports do you play/have played?

I preferred weights n stuff when I was younger bc I detested team sports, but tennis, badminton, swimming etc are fun. I used to ride whenever I could with the fleeting ambition to one day do point to point and dressage, but a) equestrian shit is a time-consuming and expensive hobby (even if you know ppl with horses) and b) I had an argument with a fence post and broke bits of myself, and by the time that all healed up I'd developed unrelated chronic fatigue. Mostly I hang out with horses on the ground now, but I'd get back into it if I could.

How tall are you?

Five eight, billed height. Probably a bit less, idk. I stoop and I don't do all the pilates for my back that I should.

Favorite subject in school?

I was a horrible, horrible theater kid. Not even in the three a.m. Denny's way (I can't sing). The black turtleneck and Brecht way. Yes, I am still ashamed.

Dream job?

I'm very fortunate, so more or less what I do, but with less freelancing to stop up the gaps and more writing things I'm proud of in genres I love. I'm trying to move more towards that at the moment. Oh, and a lot less proofreading. Grammer iz hurd.

Hello! Happy STS!

Of your WIPs, which is your current obsession? What's your favorite part about it, and what gave you the idea for it in the first place?

Happy STS! Thank you for the question!

I've been lately obsessing with my oldest WIP, Bear Castle Chronicles, which I had on hiatus for almost two years. I don't even really remember how old it really is, but it is at least 10 years old.

It started very very differently though. At the time I was obsessed with Pride and Prejudice and Assassin's Creed, and so I had an idea for a story about like a secret assassin in Regency setting. That very first WIP was historical fiction set in St. Petersburg during Napoleonic wars. And there was a noble, who was secretly an assassin and part of a conspiracy, and then there was like P&P vibes romance lol. I don't think I wrote many chapters of that version. The next version was a comic and this time it was set in a fantasy world. The world had Regency vibes and there was still war and conspiracy and the main couple had translated mostly as they were to the new version and I developed new characters. I think this was the time I had started watching Game of Thrones and it's influence first entered the story. I actually sketched quite a lot of pages for it. I still have them. I'm pretty impressed of my commitment. At the time I didn't do digital art at all and I also didn't do any planning or outlining, so at some point I realised I would need to basically redraw everything once I'd figure out the plot and make changes to the beginning, so I decided to drop the comic and go back to writing it as a novel. I don't think I wrote that version very far either.

From the creation dates of the files it seems the last big shift happened around 2016, when I started watching writing advice on YouTube and realised I can actually write down my plans and plan them further before writing. What a novel concept. At that point I revised the world, the characters and the plot. There's still Regency vibes. The two original characters live in different forms in this version, but they are not a couple anymore. Most of the additional characters from the previous version still survive. There's still war (or now wars) and a conspiracy, and there's still even an assassin, additionally one of the main characters is sort of an assassin (she's a spy who sometimes murders people).

I really enjoy getting back to this WIP, because as it is so old, I feel like I know the characters really well and the world feels to me like a real place. There is of course a lot of baggage too from all the different iterations and things I've change and kept during the years, and it's why I had to stop thinking it for a while, I kinda had lost the direction with it. What really keeps me getting back are the characters and especially their relationships with each other. If I had to now choose one relationship that I like most in it now, it would be Faerathos' and Marcus' relationship. Faerathos' noble family lost the civil war 13 years ago and they were killed (though some of his siblings' survive and are the other main characters, which he doesn't know), he was taken as a hostage to the court with Marcus, who was the commander of their house guard. They have a sort of strained and a bit toxic father-son relationship, and they only really have each other left. Faerathos is pretty self-destructive and does a lot of things that sabotage his own happiness (because he thinks he doesn't deserve it). Marcus is very much emotionally stunned and afraid to care about anyone (or at least show or admit to it), so he acts like he's protecting Faerathos out of duty and not because Fearathos is his whole world and he would do literally anything for him. This emotional distance really cuts at Faerathos, but he also feels like he deserves it. On the other hand Marcus' whole life purpose is protecting Faerathos, so he's basically in agony as he can't protect him from his own self-destruction.

so i’m gonna have a lot to do for olga in the coming days which be explained below the cut. warning for like, major lb7 spoilers like please do not look if you want to avoid anything story related but also warning that when this goes into effect, this blog will be a walking minefield of spoilers

so it was confirmed via the chaldean that olga marie is u-olga marie, that she was always a servant (but didn’t know it) and rather than being the big baddie, she was in fact one of the seven apostles of the alien world (which is CHALDEAS yes the very thing she was flung into in part one) who had the title ‘god’ and was meant to act for the alien world itself. she regained her memories in part 2 of lb7 however, at the end of the lostbelt, olga sacrificed herself in order to try and stop ort. as confirmed by the conversation between the chaldean and kirei, while olga’s saint graph can be reconstructed her her body returned (most likely with the priestess who is probably a part of olga), her soul had been effectively destroyed and if she did come back, she would be ‘ an empty husk who is a shadow of her former self’

fun times!!

the biggest thing though is that olga is the same person, her and u-chan are the same which means i can update olga’s canon point but in the worst way possible nasu why did you do thIS BUT WHEN I EVENTUALLY DO THIS (which will be when i’m done rewriting everything) there are some key things to note

her heart had been ripped out by tzec, which daybit then used to wake up ort. as such, she won’t have that organ with her in isola, since this happened before her death in canon and she was around without it

due to the fact olga’s soul was destroyed, i’m gonna use mfrp magic and say she has it again but it’s in a ‘dormant’ state. as such, olga will be acting ‘soulless’ for awhile until it ‘wakes up’. (because if i just went the soulless route and wanted to revert that, i’d have to do a reset and the tiny mage has come too far for that). think about mashu in the beginning before romani started helping her: she’ll be kinda blank, not really expressive or emotional, and be blunt but not in a malicious way. somewhat doll-like but her smiles will not be for they’ll always be somewhat sad like seen here yet she won’t be aware of this

this WILL have effects on her bonds in isola. olga will know that some people had a meaning to her, but she can’t feel that nor will she really be able to do anything about it. she also will be approaching things more logically rather than emotionally

appearance wise, she’ll change too. her eyes will have diamond pupils, her hair extremely long and with an orange gradient at the end. she will not have her crowns, outfit, nor her horns due to gestures at lb7 ending but i’ll probably sketch her new isola appearance. everything else though can be seen here

In regards to olga’s memories and what she does remember, such is still a bit murky right now so that won’t really have much of a bearing until further translations come out

anyways thanks for emotionally ruining me nasu i hope you’re happy

#ooc tbt.#lays on the ground #i don't like winning #being an olga fan is suffering i want off this rIDE

@abrushwithdeath

Hope Mikealson was newly orphaned and she wasn’t sure that she completely loved the idea that professor Xavier had about some sort of happy mutant family were they all sit around and sing. It felt nice to finally be around people of her kind. Yet, the pain was still making her heart difficult to carry around and the sentiment of hiding the unruly organ that smacked against the cage of her chest. Sarcasm was a means of defense though easily in your brain. the roof had seemed the perfect place to think alone. Rogue was her newest sketch though her life was not translating correctly on the page in a frustrating circumstance. The woman’s eyes were poetry and beauty that they don’t seem to understand. Like an apparition, the girl slid into the space beside her. A groan left her lips. If this was another speech of safety and family when she had already lost hers, auburn hair might just be pulled out by the root. Though something about the other mutant made her feel a kindered soul. Hearts were breakable, and the nineteen year old found herself thinking that even when you heal, you're never what you were before. Could she trust this found family of hers? Would they find her lacking? acceptance wasn’t usually in her repetoire. it seemed that her shutting of the sketch book was not quick enough and her blue orbs stayed pointed to the outdoor. “You know I like you. So if this is another pep talk, i will be seriously dissapointed.”

#sorry this is bad #the other draft just wasn't working
