I kind of like when B'Elanna and Tom are watching television, or when they're all at the cinema with 2-d glasses on. Or, put more of the men in the ridiculous costumes the women were forced to wear.
Tumblr media
this was way too fun to draw lol

I don't think I have a lot to update today because life got in the way of me reading as much as I wanted, but if I don't note things down, I'm gonna forget, so here we are. I'm not sure if I'll be able to update tomorrow, but I'll be back as soon as as I can, more for my own peace of mind than anything else.
previously, in harrowlicious the ninth:
this happened
also, I may have or may have not been slightly spoiled about a thing because people in my dash don't use the tags available to us mortals, so I'm gonna have to sprint if I see any semblance of skull make up in my dash
close the tab immediately
close my eyes and cover them for good measure
currently, chapters 12 & 13:
we are training how to...kill planets, I think
basically, I think we're killing a planet and killing the thing that comes out of it when it's killed
this is what the care bears taught me not to do when I was a kid
actually, I think they even made a new one in the new re-design thing specifically to make the point even clearer than in the 90s
this new one
Tumblr media
that's the opposite of what these people are doing rn
so harrowbean is training with mercygirl on how to be environmentally unconscious
if I am understanding the dynamics correctly, you kill the planet and then you chase the planet's soul aka beast through the river and kill that too
if the ones they're escaping from are bigger than these, they must have fucked up massively with whatever they destroyed
when I started reading gideon, I thought the houses were like planet-coded
you know, nine houses and all that
the ninth is now a hypothetical mysterious ninth planet
but back when my astrology lesson was sailor moon
the ninth was pluto
and in that mindset, the ninth would be setsuna meiou, which checked out with some of the harrow aesthetics, I mean
a mix between these two looks???
Tumblr media
I went on a tangent, anyway
I moved on from that idea later but, in any case, these people must have destroyed some fucking huge thing to make the mess they're in now
so, basically, in order to chase the planet's soul (which they call beast, but I think that's disrespectful), that's where the cavalier comes in
the slurped cav is meant to keep the lyctor running through that process, so that their body doesn't collapse
and it's meant to have their instincts kick in to do the final push and use the sword they were trained to use
if mayonnaise uncle had not done what he did, he would have probably been good at this part
but he was obliterated
by hubris
so, harrow cannot do this
WHICH IS GREAT
for us, at least, because it's more hope for the "gideon isn't gone" theory that keeps us together
I speak in plural, as if you didn't know exactly what's happening, but you get what I mean
in my mind, we're like this, waiting for gideon to come back
Tumblr media
so augustine calls harrow "diet lyctor"
he should call her "lyctor lite"
mercygirl gives harrow crap for not being able to sustain herself due to her lack of cavalier-ness
augustine makes fun of her for her lack of cavalier-ness
and I'm here like...you guys are the ones who started this mess?????
it's not up to a teen to save you in a couple months from something you haven't been able to fix in 10k years????
maybe you deserve it????????
what is this, evangelion????
harrow, coming back from the training and planet killing
Tumblr media
harrow visits yandere twin in her new designated room
yandere twin has a room with a lot of nudes
"life sized nudes in languorous attitudes, generally in oils, and all of the same two persons. They were enthusiastically executed. The duo posing held a variety of objects both likely and unlikely."
so...which lyctor ordered a ton of nsfw fanart of themselves and their cav or whatever????
I'm assuming it's a portrait of one of them and it's this kind of situation
Tumblr media
yandere twin apparently likes the nudes, so they're staying there
harrow doesn't like them
I think it's A Lot tbh, but it's not my lyctor room, so I'm not telling her what to do
who has the room with the ceramics collection? because I call dibs on that
anyway, yandere twin is having a hard time with this too
both of them are having a hard time with doing it, not with the ethical or moral implications of what they're doing or why johnny john john is asking them to do these things
harrow can kill the stuff faster, but she can't be trusted to be able to stay alive after
harrow was never very good at not getting physically damaged at all times
yandere twin has a hard time making chad cooperate
who would have thought
Tumblr media
imma assume it's a problem you might encounter when you slurped your cav against their will
which is what we think happened, idk, we found him stabbed in the back so
and also it's chad
chad complained about everything all the time
harrow tells her it's psychological
the mental health care plan of the lyctors looks like this
Tumblr media
also, harrow suggests yandere twin to cut her new arm if it bothers her
I mean, that's one solution, I guess
it's a very harrow solution
yandere twin points out that harrow is the emperor's favorite
that sounds like a very bad thing tbh
she also asks harrow to make her own arm grow back again and harrow says no because she's not good at the fleshy bits
"the fleshy bits"sounds like something cursed that comes with cereal in a magnus archives episode
but you get the idea
we end the chapter with harrow appreciating yandere twin's company because, when she found her after she had stabbed not!dulcinea's corpse, she said "wish you'd taken off her arms"
I respect that too
again, no camilla yet
Tumblr media
well, this wasn't as long or entertaining but I'll come back whenever I can...life needs to let me read this book

emperor!sukuna x imperial concubine!reader
Tumblr media
a/n: part 2 of my self-indulging mess. I had a lot of fun writing him and his drabble got finished way before I developed the whole plotline for Geto lol. I'll try to complete Gojo today or tomorrow and Toji is in the works yaaay!!
Also, I'm so surprised my Geto drabble got so many notes in such a short time!! I wouldn't expected people to be remotely interested in my writing but now I'm getting confident.
And finally, I can guarantee that this reader is gender neutral.
Likes and reblogs are appreciated <33
wc: 674, I know, I know, Geto got the princess treatment from me but sometimes less is more <333
cw: historical AU, scheming, mentions of pregnancy, mentions of sudden infant death syndrome, betrayal, accusations of abortion, execution, nudity, mentions of poisoning, suggestive
credits: i used a colored manga panel instead of a fanart but I have no idea who did the coloring so feel free to help me credit their work. And again, my precious @notveryrussian did the proofread, luv ya mwah <33
MDNI PLEASE! I'm gonna find you and kick you in the butt if you do. If you’re not comfortable with dark content or anything mentioned in the warnings just scroll, there's nothing wrong with that.
His mandate of heaven is very different from Gojo and Geto. Sukuna is a ruthless tyrant, he enjoys crushing any nation he deems either threatening or undeserving to even exist next to his borders. His palace is a snake pit, full of betrayal and backstabbing. Executions are frequent and he needs no valid reason to sentence someone to death, he enjoys the bloodshed and the sight of lifeless bodies. You can’t survive that place acting kind and humble. Sukuna specifically torments his concubines physically and mentally for the sheer enjoyment of it.
His court is probably the most competitive. You need to be as ruthless as he is, you need to become a schemer. One of his high-ranking consorts takes you under her wing. She lets you spend leisure time with her, and somehow, she ends up telling you way more sensitive information than she should. She once managed to give him a child, but the infant sadly died days after they were born. She complained about how hard that pregnancy was and that she’s afraid of going through it again, even though she’s attached to him. And not long after this conversation, she fell ill. Retching out everything she ate, her stomach burned and ached. She was so weak her cycle was two weeks late. She trusted you enough to have you fetch her a specific herbal tea to ease her pain and grant her some dreamless sleep.
And that’s the moment you decide you’ll use everything you know about her to cast her down and take her place.
You accuse her that she’s pregnant but wants to abort her baby. Your story is so intricately constructed from all the details you knew that his officials are on your side without hesitation. She watches you horrified, desperately telling him that nothing could be so far from the truth. Sukuna decides to believe in your words and orders for the consort to be executed. Finding pure joy in how she wails and begs for forgiveness. At the execution, he studies your face, every little detail and reaction and you were aware of that. It’s time to impress him. Your face is still, you don’t even flinch when her head is severed by the neck. The eunuchs come for you at night.
He loves and loathes this tradition at the same time. The servants want to protect him, so they deliver you stark naked to ensure you won’t carry any weapons. Fools, as if a weak and trembling creature like you could ever hurt him with a mere dagger or a sharpened hairpin. Yet it makes you look like an offering. A sacrificial lamb. Maybe because you are.
Some primal instinct tells you to balance your inner strength and innate fear of him. Pull back your shoulders, straighten your back, don’t even think to conceal your private parts. Let your fingers quiver and the sheer dread in your eyes seep through. He mocks you. Almost laughs at you while sitting comfortably on the intricately carved shelf bed, wearing a loose bright yellow robe, leaving almost nothing to the imagination. There’s no reason for him to not do this though, he’s a god, the son of heaven, therefore, everything about him is perfect.
The first thing he asks you is if you’re satisfied with your pathetic attempt to improve your position. You don’t dare to tell him that you feel the guilt rotting your insides. He confesses that he was poisoning her meals, he wanted to watch her wither away slowly and enjoy her suffering, but you ruined his plans. He might spare you, you’re a stupid little thing, you couldn’t have known. He warns you that you need to do so much more if you want to be on his good side. You need to be absolutely despicable to earn his praise. Though you feel content having reached your goal and getting to spend a night with him, somewhere deep down you hope you can leave his chamber in one piece or, at least, alive.

My Leo and Mikey for FW's good future.
(part 2 of 3 that i promised (oof) like 2 weeks ago. Yeah, it's been chaotic on my end.) (Donnie and Jennika can be found here.) (i'm still working on raph. Maybe by friday)
edit: Raph is here
I'm exhausted do multiple pet shenanigans so I'm posting this instead of waiting. (I'll do asks tomorrow. Tired)
again, all info under the cut
Leo is, like Donnie, 24 by the time they find Raph's bitties. He goes to college part time b/c he has other things he wants to be doing but also is slowly working towards getting into Mystic medical school. As much as Mama wants him to take over the nexus and hotel at some point, he'd really rather become a doctor like Leatherhead.
By now he's mostly gotten past his fear of medical procedures, though he's still not a fan of being treated by anyone except himself. There are a few things that still set him off (Like Bishop's genetics lab) but usually he's pretty good now.
At this point he's running the Battle Nexus's medical wing (not exactly practicing in it b/c he's not legally allowed, but he does run it.) And is in charge of the human side of the Nexus hotel (with use of a cloaking broach.) (Mikey helps but Leo's the face of it now.)
And Mikey! Mikey's 23. He went head first into art and mystics and just didn't look back. The dude has had art shows in both the hidden city and new york (though he never shows up to the nyc ones in person. It makes him a bit of a local cryptid as far as the art community goes lol.)
He's in college for art and has a nice little following online as well. Mostly for original work, but he does post jupiter jim fanart sometimes that is generally well liked. (he used to post Lou Jitsu fanart too, but the fandom was just too horny for his dad for him to be comfortable continuing doing so.)
His mystics are very powerful at this point. Probably more powerful than his apocalypse self was at that age (or ever) due to having proper access to training and food. His primary eyes glow gold almost constantly as a result of his extra mystic use, which he kind of likes since they used to be an amber color before his mutation.
I think that's about it.

One thing I haven’t seen much (or maybe at all?) in @ds30below is fanart recs! I get it, it's hard: I’ve tried compiling some themed art rec lists for the fest, but there are just too many wonderful things out there! So I thought I’d list some ways to find dS art at all, old and new, for the History week. Sadly, a lot of our fandom’s earlier art history is scattered all over barely functional old websites, if not lost completely. DeviantArt’s search has gone crazy - I can’t find the old dS stuff there anymore. A lot of the older (and even not that old) works on AO3 have broken image links, because image hosting has always been a big problem for fan artists (but not anymore: now there's https://images.squidge.org/). 
That said, where to find due South fanart?
Those old personal sites - if you can find them AND if the images aren't broken. Here’s an archived one where at least the wallpaper section still works (Nicci's art is F/K and some are NSFW).
Please, if you know other old or archived sites like this where the images still work, post about them!
The media files for the dS zines on Fanlore are a treasure trove, because there's a gallery view - check especially the files for slash zines, that image gallery has two pages.
Of course, the “Art” tag on AO3 has plenty of treasures (direct link below). I confess I haven’t probably looked through all of them myself yet! I recommend starting from the last page so there’s more new-to-you stuff unless you’ve been in the fandom for ten years or more. Don’t be disheartened by the broken image links, there are so many that do actually work.
Check out my sideblog, Due South Fanart Appreciation - there's also some older stuff there if you browse further. If you use Tumblr on a browser, the Archive is a nifty way to get a kind of a gallery view of the blog, though it only shows the first image in each post and does a disservice to artists with multipart works. The browser version also allows you to use the Tag list - it takes a while to load, but if you have a favorite artist/character/ship, you can find the relevant posts easily). 
I hope you enjoy the stuff you find in the above links - and if you find something you love, save the images, they might be gone tomorrow!
If you want to keep up with new dS fanart even from outside Tumblr, I also compile monthly art digests for the ds_noticeboard community on Dreamwidth:
I'll keep on trying to make those themed art rec lists! And more art, too. <3

Hi Alondra!! Thank you for replying back to me on the New Year's fanart!! there's really no pressure replying and I truly appreciate every response 🥹❤️ hearing that you still love the New Year's fanart makes me so happy!! (I promise there is more fanart for NC in the near future!!) I’m glad you took some time off social media for your mental health because that’s very important!! I’ve been quite busy lately too so I’ve been off social media more than usual this past week. I’m also happy that you’ve been sticking to drawing daily for 30 minutes!, and even if you miss a day here and there it’s still great! There are days where I just don’t have the energy to draw, so if you need to take breaks from that too it’s okay! But I really do get excited hearing these updates! Also, omg I’m very happy that you drew Miguel in a way that you liked and you’re feeling more comfortable and confident with drawing!!! Hearing that makes me so excited and i’m rooting for you!!! ❤️
Also, I just have to mention again that I’m really happy you took a little break from social media and writing, sometimes it can be too much and the last thing I’d want is for you to be burnt out from everything! (and I'm happy my little words of encouragement helped you decide to take some days off, I want to make sure you're doing okay too 🥺) you really do so much on here and you deserve the rest! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for all the support and words of encouragement with my schooling!! (and when you mentioned getting another degree in the future- I might actually consider it!! maybe even study in a subject more for fun!) I’ve been very busy with everything and preparing for the first presentation of my capstone this Monday (the nerves are there but I'll maybe update you on how that goes! 😭) but one thing’s for sure- I still love to take the time to go on here and talk to you when I can!! And I’m so excited to read the next part when it comes out!! (please don’t stress about when you’re going to post it though 🥺) And I also promise that I read all your responses too, often times more than once because they make my day!! They mean so much to me and you don’t have to worry about replying late or anything, I understand! the weather where I live has also been arctic, haha!! (no fr today when I went out I was still shivering with all my layers 😭) and if it's also still cold where you are stay safe and warm too!! I hope you’re doing well and that you’re having an amazing week Alondra!! sending you a warm virtual hug, friend!!! ❤️✨❤️
Here are some little sketches of encouragement with your writing and everything!! a soft smiling Miguel and ok I imagine the 2nd one Miguel is giving look of like he’s proud of you 🥺 but also, he just has that signature smirk too 🤭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@sunsetdoodler thank you for being so understanding and of course, I love talking with you, so I've been trying to reply to everything!! I just got really behind on my responses 😭 but yes, I LOVE the New Year's fanart!!!
Still thinking about it and how cute your OC and Miguel look together, I can't wait to see them again (and omg, more fanart!!! I can't wait to see it but of course, take your time!!!)!! And you being off social media is so understandable with your school!! I hope everything is going well so far!! I'm thinking about you and sending you the best of luck, and hoping everything goes smoothly for you as always!!!! ❤️ Also, thank you for the well wishes on my drawing journey!! I took off yesterday and today because I've been busy doing other things but I'll hopefully be back to it tomorrow, thank you, really!! And yes omg, I've been studying Miguel (I've been studying your fanart and other lovely artists' fanart plus using the amazing drawing references I've seen on here; that's actually how I finally got his hair down haha), and feel like I'm moving forward in drawing him, but it's a working process! 😂
And thank you, omg!!!!! 🥺🥺 I was debating taking a break because I always feel so guilty disappearing from social media even if it's just a day or two, but your words of encouragement to take it easy helped and I decided to do it. I tend to feel a little off after the holidays and just feel overwhelmed by everything, so this little break really helped my mental health, and honestly - it helped my writing! I was lowkey forcing myself to write prior to it, but all is well now, and I feel great now. I've done so much more writing in two days than I did over the span of several days prior to my break, so yay!! About your schooling - of course!!!!! I'm wishing you the best and rooting for you!!! As I said already, I'm always hoping and wishing that everything goes smoothly for you!!! I hope you're taking care of yourself and that these first two weeks have been kind to you so far!!! You should def consider earning another degree for fun if you're interested!! I'd love to hear what you'd like to do if you were to get another one (if you're open to sharing, if not, I understand, so no pressure!!)!! Omg, your first capstone presentation is this Monday!! I'm sending you, and will continue to send you, all the best of luck!!! I know you got this and it'll go great!!!!!! 🥺✨ It'll be one presentation down, and hopefully it will get easier as the semester goes!!!! And thank you for taking time out of your day to come on here and talk to me, it truly means so much to me!!! Please know that I understand life gets crazy, so I totally understand if you can't reply right away or not at all (don't feel pressured to, friend!! I get it!!)!! And I'm happy that my words make your day, yours make my day as well!! I always look forward to reading your responses/asks!!!❤️ And omg @sunsetdoodler I hope you're staying warm and cozy, too!! It has been very cold this week for us (there was even a busted pipe this morning because of how cold it has been this whole week). I hope you stay warm and be safe if you're out on the road driving!!! I hope you're having a fantastic week, too and that you have a great weekend!! Hopefully you get to do some fun cozy things and relax a bit despite your presentation!!! Sending you the warmest virtual hug and the best wishes as always, friend!!!! ❤️✨❤️
And OMG THE SKETCHES!!!! Miguel saying "you got this!" - that's so ENCOURAGING!!! 🥺 And his proud face in the second sketch - stop, now I'm going to imagine that Miguel cheers me on when I write and try to draw him and the second sketch is him watching me while I do my thing,😭😭 THANK YOU, FRIEND!!!! These sketches are so freaking CUTE!!!!! And his signature smirk - everything this man does gets me, I swear!!!! 🤭 (I'd get so distracted if I saw him like this actually) I'm going to have these sketches pulled up whenever I write or draw, for real!!! THANK YOU!!!! ❤️✨🥺

Week 13 of the daily dragon challenge! I'm VERY pleased with some of the stuff I drew this week, including some REALLY good fanart. Hope you like it too!
Also, since it's the last week of March, the Most Popular Dragon poll is up right now! Vote for your favorite dragon this month and they'll get new art tomorrow!
As always you can follow me on twitter where they’re posted daily
And read more info on each of them below the cut
Daily Dragon #84 - Kingdra
Thought it'd be fun to do another Dragon Type today! Completely forgot Kingdra was one of them so I thought that'd be a fun one to draw! Don't worry, eventually I'll do some of the dragon looking dragon types too lol
Daily Dragon #85 - Brad
Was really nostalgic for Tech Deck Dudes yesterday, and remembered there's a dragon / kaiju dude so... Of course I just had to
Also, DAMN, Brad has 9 variant color schemes released over the years! So, naturally, I had to make them all. Do you have a favorite? Did you collect Tech Deck Dudes as a kid? And as a bonus bonus, I made my own variant too. Why not?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daily Dragon #86 - Connery
Well... y'know... There are MULTIPLE dragons in the Tech Deck Dudes series... And I might as well do a Zood since I did a Dude I won't do all the dragons for this challenge but I wanted to do Connery because I actually had him as a kid! Neat! This little thing influenced how I drew dragons for YEARS when I was a small child lmao I miss tech deck dudes actually
Daily Dragon #87 - Penelope
I figured since I finally saw the Barbie movie, I gotta draw THE Barbie dragon, right? I remember watching Barbie Rapunzel a lot as a kid and yet somehow I've never drawn Penelope before! No time like the present, right?
Daily Dragon #88 - Velocidunce
These dumb dinos are known for their obnoxious laugh you can hear while they're hunting. Because of this seemingly uncontrollable laughter, a lot of smaller prey animals are startled and run away when Velocidunce tries to hunt them
A lot of fanart the last couple days so I figured I should make something new again! Originally this was gonna be a wise dragon but I decided to change the design completely and made it an idiot instead :) anyway, I think I need more non-reptile dragons. Maybe tomorrow!
Daily Dragon #89 - Sketchysaur
Just a random little dinosaur I drew on my phone in a parking lot today! You'll have to bear with me on this one, I'm very tired and busy today and I'm gonna have a tiring busy week ahead of me too
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
All my first attempts. I need a phone stylus lol
Daily Dragon #90 - Molluscreep
This might seem just like a clam... And, it is. But it's also a powerful dragon! They store massive amounts of energy in their mouths to blast out, which can sometimes form beautiful crystals in their mouth! The mouth muscle is a famous delicacy!
I really wanted to do a non reptilian dragon today, and for some reason a clam is what kept coming to mind! I think it's pretty neat looking!

some more ian and mickey do crazy athletic shit au before i'll be back to feed your mind tomorrow.
OH DEAR LORD. I am on the floor screaming.
YES Nosho we need it as their opening to the routine! This fits Ian and Mandy's vibe so well, so it makes sense that Mickey would have to learn it! but maybe when they makes it more suitable for Ian and Mickey, Mickey climbs on top of Ian to be higher than him? More of a playful power fight before they 'fall'?
I need you to come back so we can talk about Ian and Mickey training for their trapeze show ):
Speaking of athletic shit I&M do, I just found this fanart and I love it so you need to see it too-
Tumblr media
It's all _lovefisher_ on instagram and I couldn't figure out if the artist has tumblr

★・:*:・゚☆ Spring Update!!!
Heya everyone!!! This is actually yet another pre-announcement-announcement, meaning that once I have a spare minute tomorrow at a less ungoshly hour, I will do an actual proper announcement. You guys know me though - and yes, it's come down to scheduling issues.
But just for your information... yesterday on the 2nd of September, Partners In Crime celebrated it's SECOND BIRTHDAY!!! September 2nd, 2021, was the day that I started posting PIC Chapter 1; and September 2nd, 2022, was the day that I started posting PIC Chapter 2!!! Unfortunately, since PIC Chapter 2 is still unfinished, Chapter 3 will not be continuing on this tradition. But I will have more news regarding the next chapter... tomorrow.
So!!! Tomorrow there will be a lot of uploaded content, including; - A little bit of concept art for Chapter 2 - A very important progress update for Chapter 2 - Information regarding the future of Chapter 3!!! (Good news, fyi) - A promo post about the PIC Discord Server to spread even more awareness about it - Me FINALLY getting around to posting all the current PIC fanart from the discord server! - Me FINALLY getting around to the VERY SPECIAL PIC-related gift I mentioned in July that I never got around to finishing... - And me FINALLY getting around to responding to some asks!!! (Since I'll be doing this tomorrow, now's the best chance to get in any asks if you can think of!!! I'll be more than happy to respond to asks about Condor and 83, about the rogues, about the Armoury, about anything regarding Partners In Crime as a whole - as long as they won't spoil too much!!! XDD But yes, I love asks so much and I will be more than happy to hear your pressing questions!!!) - A piece of art that's slightly related to Steven Universe and has been on my DeviantArt page for a while but has never been uploaded to Tumblr!!!
That's all I can think of now... I have a bit of a headache right now though so maybe I'll remember more in the morning XDDD
Regardless, I will be online tomorrow, so see you all then!!! Come join us on the PIC Discord Server if you aren't already!!!

A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION
Right, I need to clarify what the hell I'm doing here a bit.
This is a blog, belonging to me, just another queer aromantic fangirl. Fanning, fixating and obsessing over Good Omens and nothing but Good Omens at the moment, and I can't promise that that will change. (nor do I want it to)
Mostly I'll be reblogging shit like there's no tomorrow, or airing out some oddly specific opinions.
BUT- every now and then, I might post fanart. Which is, technically speaking, the whole point of this blog.
I'm an artist, and I love to draw and paint, but I HATE drawing people, because I've never taken the time to actually practise it.
So my grand theory is that if I turn all my face/anatomy practise into fanart, I might be more motivated to focus on my weaknesses and work on my art, instead of blithely avoiding drawing anything that is remotely humanoid.
And I'll be posting it here to keep myself accountable (hopefully) and maybe share my art with other people who need encouragement, or who need to see someone else whose art is crap.
Sometimes, occasionally, maybe -if you'd like to see let me know in the ask box- I might post some of my original art as well.
And if you see my art and have tips and criticism for me, PLEASE TELL ME. Bombard my ask box with criticism. Rip my art apart. Leave it in shreds. As long as you give me advice as well.
Thank you for reading :2

Für das Ask-Game: 2, 11, 12, 20, 24, 40
[fic writer ask game]
2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?
I mean, apart form the fact that I *usually* default to oneshots anyway... I tend to just start writing and wait for the story to unfold, but I have recently noticed that it does make writing easier to have, like, a general outline of the fic, so I'm currently experimenting with more planning and stuff.
11. Link your three favorite fics right now
Hmmm, I think I'll go with Mondphasen by @pointwhitmark (yes, it's a series, shhh), you're pulling the trigger all wrong by @crazy-walls as always, and anything i haven't got by @wodkapudding. Very much a Momentaufnahme, might be different tomorrow.
12. how does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?
Hm. Not feedback doesn't affect me *that* much tbh, it's always a bit sad, but I *do* mostly write for myself and like. Probably couldn't stop if I tried. But receiving feedback on something does have a good chance of inspiring me to write more - sometimes something similar, sometimes just in general. But if you (general you) want more fic of a certain kind out of me, commenting on existing stuff in the same direction is probably the best way to go.
20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?
Well, there's A Lot of age difference stuff, quite some sexual-relationship-without-romance, but someone did recently open my eyes to the fact that I also write a fair bit of "sexual relationship where one part is in love/has a crush, but the other holds them at arm's length" and I know exactly why that is and we're not getting into that here. But also, I'm lowkey convinced people could recognise my fic from my beloved "gelinde gesagt" alone xD
24. Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?
Can't really remember anything specific. Maybe the evergreen "never use said" which is terrible advice really.
40. If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?
I mean. I already got some stunning artworks for out of hell (here & here), which would be my #1. But I think the Noir AU or the snooker fic could also be really fun to have something visual for? Just. Good-looking men in nice suits with very specific vibes xD

xoxo, toffee 
pov: you’re dolores madrigal and you’ve been emailing someone for a while, and you really like him, but you also really vibe with your long-time gaming buddy and you have a little routine with him every morning 
a dolores madrigal playlist, with a juno focus
@haveyoumet-dolores @moon-yeongjun
[listen here]
Tracklist! This one has a bit of a chronological order to it
The Way I Am - Ingrid Michealson
If you are chilly, here take my sweater. If your head is aching, I'll make it better. 'Cause I love the way you call me "baby". And you take me the way I am.
I knew this song would immediately be on my Lo playlist, because it’s all about trying to find someone who will take you the way you are, with all your little weird quirks! 
Pleasant Memory (Penny)
I know Jun’s Stardew Valley dream girl is Abigail, but Lo has a lot of Penny vibes (quiet, teacher, etc). And this gentle song fits her!
Would You Be So Kind? — Dodie
Oh, would you be so kind As to fall in love with me? You see, I'm trying I know you know that I like you But that's not enough So if you will Please fall in love
This just feels very Lo, especially when she was single and looking for someone to fall in love with!!
Anyone At All - Carole King
You could have been anyone at all An old friend falling out of the blue I'm so glad it was you
This is the song from You’ve Got Mail that I blasted all throughout that event, and I think that revelation that your secret email buddy is ALSO your good friend and then that comforting feeling you feel right after, where of course, it was them and everything just makes sense….. Effervescent. 
Top of the World - The Carpenters
There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here
I love this song so much, I think it’s just very emblematic of finding someone you click with! It doesn’t necessarily have to be a lover, because it’s just about someone who you love to spend time with and who you’re so connected with, and I just think it’s perfect for Juno since we’ve been seeing them connect for MONTHS. 
All About Us — Owl City, He is We
And every heart in the room will melt This is a feeling I've never felt but It's all about us
The “feeling I’ve never felt” got me here. It makes sense for both of them! I just think it's very sweet.
All About Your Heart — Mindy Gledhill
You are brighter than the stars Believe me when I say It's not about your scars It's all about your heart
This is one where most of the lyrics don’t fit exactly but the line “it’s all about your heart” just felt SO Dolores to me. When I was working on this, I just kept hearing "It's all about your heart" and I knew I needed to add it
Anyone Else But You - The Moldy Peaches
You're a part-time lover and a full time friend The monkey on your back is the latest trend I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else But you
This is the ultimate friends-to-lovers little song I think it’s so cute! AND bonus point that I did not realize till I am writing this description………… it is FROM the movie Juno
Lucky - Jason Mraz, Colbie Calliat 
They don't know how long it takes Waiting for a love like this Every time we say goodbye I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will
Listen. So many of these songs could be on my own 2010 romantic playlist. Very Twee. Very Dolores IMO. The other ultimate friends to lovers song. Yes, it’s a Glee duet, but for a GOOD REASON this song is so sweet okay. 
1, 2, 3, 4 - The Plain White T’s
It's easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4 There's only ONE thing (one) TWO do (two) THREE words (three) FOUR you... (four) (I love you) I love you
Another song from a playlist I definitely had in 2010!!!!!!!!! Bet you didn’t think you’d see the Plain White Ts ini the year 2024, but here we are. I once drew fanart of this song with some OCs. It was a cute pose so maybe one day I’ll draw Juno with it.

I absolutely love your GF AU. I'm not sure which is better, the fanfic or the fanart and blurbs. Is it something you plan on continuing to share? I can't wait to read more!
Thank you! 😁 And yeah, I'm absolutely gonna keep sharing! The stuff I'm sharing here on tumblr is fun, low-on-spoilers scenes that occur to me as I go or as folks ask me questions, but I'm also working on a full outline for the fic with friends that I'm keeping private.
As soon as I have a free day I can dedicate fully to writing, I plan to pick up where I left off with the first chapter of the fic. (Maybe on Saturday? Tomorrow I need to do a lot of adulting with mail and bills, and Friday I oughta catch up on some limited-time events on a couple of my games, so Saturday might be a good day to dedicate to writing the next chapter! I'm hoping that by typing out this plan where people will see it, I'll be more likely to actually stick to it! Now I'll know people will be expecting the next chapter this weekend! ADHD time management hacks.)
One of my other hyperfixations is releasing a season this summer, so I'm hoping that if I zoom to write this fic super fast, I can get it out and free up my brain before that fandom takes over my life again LMAO. (When I'm adequately inspired & energized I can easily write over 100k in a month or two, so this isn't as unreasonable a goal as you might think!)

@annoyinglyshinycherryblossom re-opened my door of Miraculous Ladybug ships and I for one realized I haven't really did art so
But there's the main ship I do love a lot I want to go back fleshing out AND a new ship that I had hidden for three to four whole years~
Marionette x Adrian x Kagami x Luka is the main poly ship I will FIGHT until my final breath is a thing, I know the newer seasons lowkey ruined it but I'm willing to start up my MLB re-write series kind of in the universe of that one stormy fic I did of them on here, here it is btw
BUT!
Marionette x Adrian x Kagami x Luka WITH Nathaniel x Marc
HERE ME OUT BEFORE THE ARGUMENTS HAPPEN!
I had a very old poly ship years ago in season 1 grounds with Adrian, Marinette, and Nathaniel as I thought the ship was really cute. Then Luka came around, than Kagami, then Marc and I kind of just lowkey abandoned ship and it honestly broke my heart I started to heavily ship them away but over time after Hero's Day Part 2 I kind of had a random brain bubble of "Wouldn't it be lowkey cute if Nathaniel and Marc join the ship mobile?"
The season 3 happened and I kind of got sidetracked of my actual OT4 happen and in random I drew a bunch of old doodles I will NOT show of this OT6 in-between ships
I really want to flesh this ship out a bit and if you don't like it or the OT4 then by all means you don't have to, but I would really like some asks related to this ship and possibly today and tomorrow I'll draw a bunch more of them with the fanart winner of the poll, maybe some fics and headcanons of my own, and at one point I even will try and plan out how to show off some ideas for my MLB re-write!

i thought this time
this time, I'm gonna make it
why I thought so, I really don't know
maybe something in his eyes just told me so
tell me lies, and i'll come runnin'
Tumblr media
[ ID: Traditional fanart of Kamal Bora and Dr. Habit from Smile For Me the game. The style is semi-realistic.
In the artist’s redesign, Habit has a gaunt face with protruding furry cheeks, cotton-stuffed ears, then red fur-ruffles under his makeup-applied eyes, then a thin pencil stache with surrounding hair on the chin and neck. He is balding on one side of the head. On the neck is a visible Adams apple. He has a X-like scar near his mouth, and stitches on his neck, scars on his ball-jointed, wrinkled hands. He has on purple eyeshadow and red claws plus lipstick. All his hair is in shades of rose-pink. Habit wears a fur-like blue coat with rougher yet still soft material for teal sleeves. A rose is kept in a stitched-in chest pocket.
Kamal meanwhile looks mostly the same except for a more aged appearance-- wrinkly face and white streaks in grayish hair. Some acne and sharp stubble, hair on fingers, gaptooth is visible. He sports a single gold earring. His full sleeve shirt is red.
They are colored somewhat roughly with a mixture of colored pencils and sketches. From the front view, Habit has his arms around the other, bending down and touching Kamal's hair. His own hair surrounds the both of them. Kamal rests one hand in the other's, the palm of which is soft, patched cotton. His other hand is held up to one side of his face which bears a weary, pained expression. Eyes closed, tears escape. Habit smiles( he has broken teeth) in a way that's taking strain. He too weeps in much the same way.
BG is a messily painted vivid deep yellow overlaid with many ribbons of red swaying through. Habit and Kamal are below the top of the BG, mostly encircled on the outer lines by encroaching red paint. Lyrics to a mashup of Viva la Vida and Pompeii read, in slightly different fonts and colors( blue pen, black and purple sketches)--
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
But if you close your eyes
DOES it almost feel like NOTHING changed at all?
Above the two is a line from Habit- " Trust me, trust me tomorrow is the day. " end ID]
Oh uh talk under the cut!
People, I'll admit, if I haven't before-- and if I have, then I request pardon, because my memory isn't that great-- I worry about posting stuff like this. I worry I'm being too emotional, too attached, too personal, just weird....
But I must be the one to tell my story and share it. Take it or leave it. I'm just another face in this crowd with my own trifles. If you'll listen to my passing songs, all is good and well just the same as when you don't.
Well I guess I can start with how I'm amazed that I've drawn this. This is nearly 10 years of improvement. I'm proud!
And OK, yeah, this was drawn for my birthday. But it has more of a New Years feeling in my head. Something like..." oh my god, we survived ". Something like a beginning but not a wholly new one; the road you have tread so far is still behind you. Strewn with all manners of things. How I think about it. The days were there when I think and think about them and forget to go forward. And sometimes it will all catch up to me and break away the forward path.
It's incredibly painful.
I won't go too much into that but imagine my mind when I heard a soft, sweet acoustic cover of Pompeii by Bastille. It's a song I've previously associated with those bottomless pit-like emotions. So this was like a sign from God himself--not even exaggerating. It felt like a glimpse into when everything could be over.
When Heaven is real, and the angels have said, " Your journey is over, now rest."
But still I am on Earth. The moment is brief and finite, however long. Happiness after pain and then pain to continue.
Here that is. I have painted it for myself.
Words are hard...
It had begun again. You don't mind.
That's what friends are for.
