#someone else’s character

[lgbtlunaverse]

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

#you will make superficial edits that do not gell well with the rest of your work #and won't actually capture what you thought was so good about that story #close the doc. sit down. think about it for a while. inspiration is fine. getting a 'eureka' moment from another story is fine #but if you find yourself comparing your work one to one with someone else's and taking any differences to be flaws on your part then STOP #you will never write good stuff by trying to make it look less like you wrote it #writing #writing advice #guess who just had to go into her google doc history and undo a bunch of panic-induced edits #because she read a fic about the same characters she's writing for? #meeee. they aged badly within just a few hours of hindsight. learn from my mistakes #self-hatred is not a good motivation for creation #fic writing

Do y'all ever think about how cool it is that art inspires other art inspires other art inspires other art in an endless cycle

#like someone else's creation inspired the thing that inspired me #and my art can inspire someone else's art who might inspire someone else's #like original work to fanfic to fanart yes #but also like character to character or story to story #or even just when you and a friend talk about stuff and they inspire you and you inspire them in turn #and ahhhhhhh #human creativity is getting me again

no way! I actually did it!! here's all 93 hetalia characters, my beloved

the last time I did one of these was like 7 years ago 🥲 here's the previous ones: 2016//Sept 2015//Feb 2015

hope you all enjoy, this is my little treat to the hetalia fandom, also the last digital art I'll do for the next 5 months but I've got something else big to post in a while plus sketchbook stuff!

#hetalia #hetalia fanart #aph everyone #my art #included all the very obscure characters this time! #no humans and also not the german states or japanese provinces or whatever the hell else exists #was gonna label them all but didn't have time feel free to ask who someone is #it's actually forbidden knowledge to know all of them #anyway this was genuinely SO much fun i love these idiots

all I'm going to say to the collective TMA fandom tonight is a large, unironic THANK YOU for being normal about Jon's asexuality. By "normal" I mean openly portraying and embracing ace-ness in each and every flavor. Creator after creator in this fandom has their own unique interpretation of Jon's sexuality, and I truly, legitimately feel that this group has created one of the most nuanced and healthy environments for discussing different kinds of attraction

#the magnus archives #tma #tma spoilers #there are canon asexual characters in other fandoms and they don't deserve them #cough cough hazbin #people get attacked for suggesting alastor could have sex as an ace character and everyone's angsting about the moral implications #of shipping an ace character with someone else. #tma fandom you would die #jonathan sims #jonmartin #jmart #tma season 5 #the archivist

OOC

seeing this become a common wizardposting thing I guess so if this gets 5k notes I’ll do one (1) iota of self care

#not shark #ooc also i kinda regret wrapping up the whole time plot line #because since shark is incapacitated (soul out of body and in someone else’s possession) #and time is back to the bottom of the ocean #I basically can’t do any wizardposting unless I make a new character #and three characters would be too much because this is my third gimmick blog anyways #I guess I’ve gotta be patient for the wizard who has BTRSW’s soul to do smth with it #but in the meantime it’s like #aahajajausj

Parallel Lines and Brothers.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #lan wangji #lan xichen #jin zixuan #Does anyone else think about the tragedy of the parallel lines? Of characters who are parallel lines? #Of running the same course as someone. Of echoing each other in perfect synchronicity. #It's more than being a foil. It's about being on the same path and being so near to each other. #and yet parallel lines never intersect. They cannot meet each other despite their existence being tied to another. #I think the brothers tragedy is just as much of a tragedy of parallel lines as is pre-resurrection wangxian. #Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian spend so much time running side by side and yet - they cant close this gap between them. #Even if their relationship never recovers - they are forever tied together through their past. The good and bad and ugly. #All the things that are left unsaid between them. All the love and sacrifices they made for each other that are never shared. Parallel line #I firmly believe any post-canon material that would have them be indifferent towards each other is just...really doing them a disservice. #And dear god the Lan brothers. They certainly love each other! Its a far fonder fraternal relationship than jiangxian (/platonic) #They fool you by having you think they have a good read on each other. Lan Xichen certainly wingmans + advocates for lwj! #But lets not forget - Lan Xichen by the end is in the reverse situation and headspace as Lan Wangji by the end of this story. #Lan Wangji is more free and open than he has ever been. He's in love. He's married. He and wwx are intersecting lines. #& LXC who grew up with and lived the same path as LWJ - who even is said to resemble him visually - his parallel line - shuts himself away #Despite all the love LWJ has for his brother I don't think he ever manages to reach him.

casual reminder that a fictional story is still fictional even when the characters in it are based on real people

#saw a discourse post on my dash #and right in the middle of it #someone was like #yeah it's not like those fictional characters are real people or something #and no one else in the reblog chain blinked #and maybe they didn't notice it? #but I just

Okay okay hold on.

You’re telling me that Derek Hale is living in Beacon Hills owning an auto shop and consulting for the sheriff and having a rebellious teenage son who loves the jeep and in the first twenty seconds of being on screen Derek says to the sheriff “Maybe you should call your son?” Like I literally paused it.

Seriously considering keeping it paused and just writing a fanfic to finish it out because this is a beautiful premise that right now is canon. I accept the first 20 minutes of this movie. The rest we can toss.

#teen wolf spoilers #yes I’m watching it #might take me a few days #to watch it in small increments #everything else is ridiculously laughably the dumbest #like I laughed #like they just subbed in someone for Kira??? #and the ‘badass’ camera shots and characters and literally laughable #and they used ‘we call him the alpha’ line twice in five minutes like it was not good the first time #I feel like I’m watching a movie script a teenager wrote with things they thought would sound cool #also why is Derek investigating fires #not cool #derek hale #stiles stilinski #teen wolf #sterek #spoilers #teen wolf movie

not romantic or platonic but a secret third thing (bonded pair)

#I think more character dynamics should be described as bonded pairs #are two characters very attached to each other in a way that's hard to define? bonded pair. #are two characters rarely seen in a scene without each other? bonded pair #do two characters get anxious when separated? bonded pair #I don't mean this in a weird way I mean it in the way cats will be bonded when at a shelter together or something #this can apply to so many characters I think #regardless of whether they're romantic or platonic or whatever #most necrocav duos in tlt for example #and too many duos in fma to count #like obviously knowing me im thinking about greedling #but also the elric brothers or mustang and hawkeye #but also. many of the side characters. #doing my massive spreadsheet (almost done btw!) has shown to me that jerso and zampano are almost always in the same scene #that's a bonded pair babey #brosh and ross too. to me. #anyway. someone once left the tags ''bonded pair do not separate'' on a greedling post of mine and i haven't stop thinking about it #that's just how I conceptualize their dynamic now #two cats that have to be adopted together or else they'll start destroying furniture

as if he needed more ways to be everywhere at once

#my art #new life smp #scott smajor #new life scott #owengejuicetv #what if nightcrawler had the color palette of portal and the fashion sense of rey star war #actually maybe i do give him the nightcrawler legs next time i’m not sure #depends on how long this origin lasts tbh #also my Lord was it hard to stay skin accurate without laddering his character design #you know like that thing where a chars outfit is blocked into segments w tunic->belt->skirt->boots all being roughly the same distance #i never like how that looks and i am Constantly fighting for my life bc it’s so easy to do on accident #also i didn’t draw this but the thing where he ‘imprints’ on people and can swap places w them #shows up as him snapping one of his bracelets onto someone else’s wrist #+ since he’s the only one who can control them they can’t take it off

Leo: *takes off one of his stripes and chucks it full force like a boomerang*

#donnie in the distance: *roblox OOF sound* #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #listen this visual slapped me in the face and there’s no way someone else HASNT said this but I’ll say it again regardless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #but like listen they’re zany cartoon characters and zany cartoon characters can peel back reality no problem SO #bro legit separates his molecules to teleport he just decides to move his stripe molecules off of him as a weapon separately no big deal

me when the ship fic is not also an in-depth thesis with multiple cited sources proposing an analysis of one or both characters' psyches down to the most fundamental level

#SORRY I STARTED OUT WITH ACE OF TOURNEY FANFICTION. AS IF ITS MY FUCKING FAULT #adddna #'why dont YOU just write the character analysis' I HAUVE COVIDDDDD. IM TOO SLEEPY RIGHT NOW. I NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO BE INSANE FOR ME SO BAD #'is this about--' YES ITS ABOUT ZORO AND SANJI OKAY FUCKING WHATEVER .
