“only so many hail marys a boy can make until he’s rubbed those rosaries to rubble.” fucking poetry. bukowski could never. no seriously baker what is your secret. how long have you been writing? is writing just a hobby for you? how are you so fucking clever? have you considered writing a book? or doing commissions on facfics? because i would uh. i would pay your rent, car insurance, morgage. suck your dick. goes w out saying.
just finished your cherry fic and dude. god i dont know how you do it, your talent is fucking otherworldy. the art of billy for that fic,???????????????? impeccable. indescribable. i kept referencing the picture and fr it made the fic so much more enjoyable to read (not that your writing isnt enough, the art was just the cherry on top AHAHA) and brother ive read a lot. a lot of fanfiction in my lifetime and you are by far the best writer ive come across. everests above anyone else. you write as good as billy looks.
but who is this person behind this gloriously gifted artistically genius mask?? i must know how you are so good 🙏🥺🙏
well you are just the nicest person ever alsdjfhsdgfs. THANK YOU. i've been writing on and off for around 15 years - but i'm not very consistent so i can never do writing commissions XD. i have one original idea for a book! i'm currently struggling through writers block tho T__T so there isnt much writing going on atm (i'm reading more trying to get back into it).
thank you again for the extremely VERY VERY KIND words on my writing and my art. i cannot begin to say how much your kindness means to me. really. i'm a mess now aslkjdlhvdsfashgd.

"Lament! Terror! Despair! I shall kindly teach them all to you! And in your final moment, I... shall kill you by my own hand!!"
pandora hearts print for anime north this weekend 🥀🖤🤍
I also put this up on my inprnt! there's a sitewide sale for 40% off right now 🌟
For this drawing, I really wanted to emphasize the gothic and chaotic, convoluted nature of the series. Pandora Hearts has become a lot of things to me, as someone who's read it since I was like, 14 years old. but I eventually found the perfect words to sum up the series - a cross between a Shakespearean tragedy and a Grimm fairy tale.
The ink brush + watercolour brushes I used turned out so well together!! I wanted the style to be kind of a nod to like the manga cover art you'd see from the late 90s to 2000s, kind of like Mochizuki's early approach to traditional art.
A lighter approach to both the lineart + coloring also helped me not strain my arm too much - besides work, I stopped doing full illustrations due to the amount of work being heavy on my arm/shoulder T__T. my last full illustrations were the TGAA/DGS zine + WHA zine pieces back in Dec-Jan, but my heart really lies in illustrations more than anything and I definitely want to get back into it!! (as long as my physical health allows it!!)
Tumblr media
anyways, above is the thumbnail/inspiration board for this drawing! I also did some quick chickenscratch studies of others' drawings to help me get a sense of their composition. I started on the top left and then made a sort of meandering curve through... definitely went through a lot of ideas for this one. If I explained the intended symbolism.. I would be here.. all day..............
the candles were definitely first inspired by an animation of a lighter I did during art skool... and then I did this AA Dahlia animated illust... and then this OC charm (below) I did in 2022...? maybe I should draw fire more often. it's like, the way that fire looks in animated keyframes that I really like drawing out, and I guess I kinda really enjoyed translating that into a non moving visual medium??
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This drawing simultaneously took SO long but I also sped through it?? I had to like... not dwell too long on certain parts... like for example I think some individual character compositions really could be a lot stronger... because I knew this would be a beast of a drawing, I didn't want to spend an unnecessary amount of time focusing on details when I should be looking at the big picture. and I know that's a bad habit of mine!! I'm trying to unlearn my perfectionism!!
thanks for reading if you got this far, hope ya enjoy it!! and I hope I'll keep drawing Pandora Hearts in the future (clearly I haven't stopped since high school omg) and I hope to draw some more Vanitas someday beyond just chibis!

I don’t know if it’s just me but I noticed a lot of artist will make Wednesday shades darker almost as to not make her seem to pale and risk being accused of “white washing”. To me as a Latina, the actress that plays Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) is on the lighter side of skin tones for Hispanics.
Also, Jenna is such a cutie and it makes drawing her as Wednesday so adorable to me. People will try to make her look completely different as in rugged but I wish people could draw her up as more feminine. At the end of the day she does have the cute nose, big brown eyes, and a beautiful smile. (Don’t get me started on the dimples) It’s damn near canon that when Wednesday lets her hair out of those braids she damn near makes Enid want to faint.
I love your art btw I just wanted to let my opinion out there and see if others agree without getting attacked.
omg thanks for loving my art!! your opinion on this is valid, and id like to share my own art in regards to how i personally draw wednesday and her colors bc i dont get asks often LMFAO PLS ask more (yapping ahead!!!!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
if you see all my fanart of wednesday side-by-side, i would say i have an inconsistent art style bc i heavily rely on visual iconic cues (her braids, dark clothes, glare) to draw wednesday!
and thats bc i dont heavily base wednesday off of jenna ortega. i don't really associate characters with their actors, i see a character they portray and then when drawing, i take the most basic elements. (costume, color scheme, overall character design)
this doesn't mean i don't draw weds based on Jenna Ortega at all. while i do draw her skin tone tanner than Jenna's (some will draw her darker, some maybe even very lighter) i still draw her relatively close to her shade as well as Jenna's dimples Jenna's height too lol
It's what makes drawing fun! I'm here for the concept of wenclair, wednesday and enid. this makes having headcanons less stressful and more freeing! it's also why im not comfy shipping jenna and emma T__T
thank you for sharing your opinion!! id like to hear what others think of this as well, from artists n the fellow fans :DD

I know you're an art blog so I don't know if it's appropriate to ask you on here but how do you keep your hair so blond but healthy looking? at least from cameras. I want to bleach my hair but I am so scared lol. sorry if this is weird 😭 have a good day/night!
you're so nice! thank you! I put details under this I hope it works LOL.. I know it is different for everyone so :,,3 idk if my method will be good for your hairstyle type but ya !!
I was born with like, super white hair and as I grew it got darker. my hair is now like.. a "dishwater blond" or maybe a light brown without warm tones. like it almost looks grey? but it isn't.
I have been bleaching it for like a decade LOL I used to do crazy colors but now I just like my blond with maybe some colored cute tones. I just don't have the patience to grow the original color out T__T
anyways! I have very thin/fine hair so I just grow out my hair until the roots drive me insane and make me feel like I look "oily no matter what" and bleach them with 20vol developer and some bleach from Sally's. I keep it in for like 10 minutes. I literally just get the cheapest stuff lol......
usually the night before I will oil my scalp (I find oiling your hair does not interact odd to the bleach but it helps protect your hair a bit, at least with the kinds I've tried) (my hair LOVES jamaican mango + lime black castor oil, it also grew out my eyelashes and brows a lot also)
Tumblr media
I haven't tried this exact kind but I have 2 of their others and I love them all the same + they smell good too!
after bleaching I will bathe it with shampoo (to get the bleach out) lots of conditioner, Cold water always, (at least for the hair) and then I don't wash it again for as long as I can
in general I usually try to not wash my hair for as long as possible, and then dry shampoo, then wash bangs, then wash all hair. usually always with cold water
that's pretty much it!!! I know a lot of people have issues bleaching their hair and I've only had that problem once when I used a 30vol instead of 20 so please take note at how thick your hair is. stronger volume is good for thicker, dark hair I believe. since mine is so fine and already naturally lighter I think I get off easier with bleaching it without the intense damage people tend to get ;o;
good luck anon!!!! and thank you again!! also toner is amazing I don't know a lot about it but that helps a lot too :3 I got this toner once and I got so many nice compliments on my hair hehe
Tumblr media
just make sure if anything you do a test strand even though I haaaate doing that I don't have patience. but it's good to know. bc when I did use the stronger volume... the feeling of your hair falling out and breaking off is simply a horror unmatched
and if you bleach it and it wasn't enough, please wait and nurture your hair a bit before trying to bleach it again to avoid excessive damage
good luck sweet anon!!

Did you recently make the demon design for Celeste, or had you made it some time ago? Did you make a demon version of Caramael to match? :o
Also, I love seeing your OCs & art! It makes me feel nice and comfy :> I'm always in awe of your cute and creative designs & style!
Omg I'm so sorry if this reponse is late, tumblr never notifies me T__T
Oh you'd be surprised to know that demon!Céleste was designed way before I even made a post about her! There's a bit of story behind her conception:
I think it was around 1-2 years ago? That me and my friend poppy (@poplyy_ on twitter!! :D) were toying around with AUs regarding our own characters and loved to mess with swap AUs in particular.
For context, both of us had angel characters completely unrelated to one another, but we still liked to imagine them in different scenarios and what their designs would be like in these alternative universes. Naturally, when it comes to having angel characters, you of course would want to imagine what they would look like as demons, right? I initially thought of demon!Céleste to be all black and fuzzy, like her friend Picco, but never had gone as far to have drawn it.
Poppy drew her own version of demon!Céleste for fun, and I immediately disregarded my initial design idea for hers, because I loved the concept of a red imp so much:
Tumblr media
It was from there that I wanted to draw demon!Céleste as an adult, using adult Céleste's base design and basing it off of Poppy's doodle:
Tumblr media
Which answers your question, that Caramael was indeed also given a demon design to match with Céleste haha! Immediately after drawing Céleste, I turned to her champion, as I thought demon knights would be really cool as a concept.
They both later got updates in their AU designs though, I had to give demon!Céleste hair because my friends kept making fun of the fact that she looked a little bald compared to her angel design where her wings made her look fluffy LMAO
Tumblr media
Demon!Caramael was also made black+white as opposed to black+red so that he could contrast with demon!Céleste better :]
Tumblr media
It was from that point where I just self indulged in my own characters and continued playing with these AUs, thinking about their potential and what different interpetations can be done with them :]

literally just went through your whole blog and SOBBED.
my creepypasta phase was a big part of my life and still is. it shaped me as a person and my skills as an artist and writer as well when it came to creating ocs as I'm not creating overpowered Mary sues anymore lmao
AND SEEING YOUR ART AGAIN?? ON MY DASH??
Little me was so happy to see it always, it was never not a joy to see and really helped boost and keep my obsession with creepypasta going for a while. Your slenderman art is absolutely beautiful and so stylistic? It's like art gummies
I remember going through 'which creepypasta character is your boyfriend' quizzes on quotev, convincing myself that I was just doing it for 'fun' because I didn't want to be a fan girl and seeing your art pop up in the quizzes for it 😊
Anyways, thank you for existing !! ☺️🤗
im being so serious, tell me your favorite creepypasta rn so i can doodle them for you bc this ask is so sweet WTFF THANK YOUUUU all the creepypasta art i have on here besides a few recent ones are sooo old but im so touched people like them still it really keeps me going you have no idea T__T thank you and everyone here im getting to a point where im feeling kindof comfortable posting again, drawing esp (ive been drawing just going through own withdrawals) so its so sweet and nice to get messages like this...... thank you oml

Hi, I've seen you post about how you draw to express yourself and how you would rather not take commissions, and just draw what you like.
I've been a fan of your art since 2019.
I just wanted to say that if I was financially better off, I'd commission you to draw whatever sort of Riza you liked. You seem like a very wonderful person, and your art helped me get through some hard times. I hope this year goes well for you, and that you can be happier and better off than 2023.
Please keep drawing and expressing yourself, and I'm sorry that you get mean asks or Roy based asks every once in a while. Maybe someday I'll commission you, but till then, please be happy.
Love your Riza.
SOBS anon you’re too kind…! i’m surprised you’ve been around for such a long time too, thank you so much t__t !! i appreciate the sentiment a lot, it makes me feel happy there are people who genuinely like my most self indulgent art this much, it’s what i wish i could draw forever and exclusively, but we live in a society……………..! it’s stressing to feel like i have to appeal to others because i care too much about what people think of me and my art, but people like you who like my stuff regardless make me feel normaler about it…!
i will always keep on drawing and being loud about what i like even if it feels hard sometimes…! i’m happy my art could mean something to you, because i often think of my art as too silly and self indulgent and meaningless(not necessarily in a bad way), so when people tell me it affected them positively it’s always a pleasant surprise :)
wishing you have a year just as kind as yourself too ^__^💞❤️💕💖

hello!!
i just finished reading chapter 50 of jtta and oh my gosh. i don’t even know where to start.
jtta is SUCH an amazing work of art that my words fall short.. it’s rlly the best fanfiction i have EVER read and i’m sure it’ll continue to be my Number One forever. your writing style is absolutely beautiful and your choice of words is IMMACULATE. the way you describe certain scenes truly baffles me everytime like,, there’s people out there who are really able to write like this?? they can magically plant a mental imagine w colors and all in my head from??? Words only??? u r so amazing omf
i also have to say that ur work has rlly helped me with expanding my own vocabulary — i had to look up a A LOT of words (though i’m sure i forgot them all by now..) but it was always so fun to learn new stuff!
your mind fascinates me sm bc?? when i was reading some scenes from jtta i rlly thought ‘man.. if i was the author i’d have no idea how to solve this..’ but u managed to surprise me every. single. time. u outdid urself each time and my jaw legit dropped at some scenes bc i could’ve NEVER EVER thought of that,,,
i only discovered jtta last summer bc i was looking for a platonic obey me ff (i can’t see the boys romantically to save my life 😔) and ur writing was rlly the best thing that ever happened to me.
i swear everytime i read another chapter i dived into this World bc ur writing is so????? Perfect??? i cant put it into words
idk how many times i repeated myself by now but i just wanna give u this BIG word of appreciation (even if im struggling w it LOL) for everything. your characterisation of all the characters was always SO on point and the pacing of the chapters always elevated the reading experience and and and i’m just so overwhelmed by the quality of your work 😭🫶
and when i found ur tumblr??? oh i was FLOORED. like. not only r u absolutely GIFTED at writing, ure also good at drawing???11!?1? the writer & illustrator combo is INSANEEEEE
jtta got me all wrapped up in this universe that whenever i went back to read other obey me work or play obey me itself, i got sad bc the newspaper club and ik weren’t there 😭
normally i’m sad about things ending, esp when i indulged in it over a course of time but with jtta all i felt was a warmth (oh and the tears…..) in my body, it rlly couldn’t have ended better!! jtta made me elict all sorts of emotions while reading and it was just such a wonderful experience!
i feel like i just want to say more to u and sing more praises for u and jtta but i’m just at a loss for words,, my mind is COMPLETELY blank :c
writing is definitely your superpower and i’m forever grateful that i found your work!!!!!! T__T <3 can’t wait to see more of your work in the future 🥹💝
i need you to know that i had to look away multiple times consecutively just to compose myself because aAAAggkj
from the bottom of my heart, thank you!! i don't know what else i can say, everything you've said means so much to me! messages like this make everything about creating so worth it, all i can do is thank you twice <33333

How about 🤔 10 and/or 17 for the fandom questions?
10. worst part of fanon
it personally isn't to my taste when ppl treat twst like a dating sim if that makes sense? like i don't have anything against selfshippers or x readers like you do you my guy but. im not the hugest fan of when people will write selfship hcs about the characters that completely disregard the. actual character themselves and reduce the characters to typical dating sim target tropes in order to make the character more "romantic" or. fuck actually you know what om changing topic midway to something i decided i feel more strongly about. the worst part of fanon is the yanderefication of twst characters. its not even really the yandere bit though thats also Not my thing its the mischaracterization. for a lot of twst characters you have to severely mischaracterize them to make them have. Unhealthy possessive yandere behavior and it just gets on my nerves. like actually what im saying is most of the fanon shit that gets to me is mischaracterization of the characters in order to make them more "simp-able". sorry my pet peeve is mischaracterization. this is wjat im like when i see someone absolutely decimatinh a character i care about
Tumblr media
17. there should be more of this type of fic/art
okay OKAY time to get more positive. there should be more fanart. of various characters literally just hanging out and getting up to every day shenanigans. nrc is a school full of teenage boys/not-really-boys (excluding lilia and leona for not being teenagers) and i think they deserve. to do stupid shit more often. i also want more daily nrc life illustrations / gen fics T__T i need my mundane slice of life universe fuel. guys please post more slice of life im so average i need it to live. also more aus would be fun i do think the twst fanbase needs more aus in general
