Question..:
What would one suggest for tools/programs if I wanted to livestream my artwork?
I've heard both good & bad about Twitch. I don't like TikTok for artwork... too many kids that don't understand what plagiarism is and their attempts to censor art... Well I'm sorry but art is meant to make you FEEL. It doesn't matter what feeling is evoked as long as SOMETHING is. And I simply will NOT use tumblr TV as it seems to be only for SW and I don't want to take away any of their business. If anything, I'd be happy to make some icons for them, commissioned of course.
An old(ish) saying is; "Art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed." And it's actually quite right. Even taught to us at my university when I was studying Visual & Studio Arts. Mostly from what I understood is this; artwork, especially when something very personal to the artist, is always meant to evoke an emotion. Emotions, inherently, are neither good nor bad, they simply are. If a piece of art makes you feel something you don't like ask yourself "Why don't I like this? / Why does this make me feel ____?" It's a good exercise that we were taught. Even if you can't figure out why, it's good to explore the feelings that were brought up. I once posed this route of questioning to my psychology professor and they told me that the feelings evoked are a subconscious piece of our character.
One thing about character; you can change it.

Gotta say, the Space-Godzilla/Battra ship was not something I knew I needed till you dropped in on my dash. I’m all in. Like; I will be helmsman, navigator, cook, and shipwright for this bitch.
I am wondering tho, what are their respective relations to Goji and Mothra in your au? Is Battra Mothra’s brother? Is Space-Goji Godzilla’s brother? Is it the other way around? (Like Battra is Goji’s brother and vice versa… probably not but that’d be funny lmao) or are none of them related at all and just of similar species?
SPACEBAT NATION RISE UP LETS GOOOOOO this ship will SAILLLLL im taking applications for the crew aka send me all ur ideas for them bcuz i need MORE
okok sOOOO. this is my personal au. it's a soupy amalgamation of monsterverse lore, toho lore, and a whole lot of bs i made up.
>goji & spacegoji (i call him kesshō bcuz sg feels too impersonal and he deserves a real name) are basically clone-half siblings (i have a lot of bs lore involving bio to explain this but it's a whole different thing i dont wanna flood this post with lol) >mosu & battra aren't related, but definitely have that Found Family dynamic (battra is a mutated divine moth, so the same species as mothra, but some funky hollow earth stuff made him mutate when his egg left stasis and began to develop again)
and for some Bonus Starter Propaganda: goji n kesshō are chill by the time battra emerges, so goji bothers him to hang out when mosu n battra have their Moth Therapy sessions. that's how kesshō first sees battra and has one of those gay ass tsundere dokidoki moments and is instantly smitten but pretends not to be, runs in the family bcuz goji did the exact same thing with mosu goji bullies him into shooting his shot and gets mosu on his team so they become the main cheerleaders for the ship sailing. spacebat in general has a much longer slowburn than mosugoji since battra is a lot more prone to lashing out than mosu is, so there's no Mediator Moth to quell the gojiran moodiness lol. but eventually it works out and they Become The Gay. they're not as disgustingly PDA as mosugoji but are definitely touchstarved asf so once they bridge that contact gap they're kinda glued at the hip :'')
anyways i have more cookin but that's enuf for now if anyone wants to brainstorm more ideas abt them hiT ME UP im starving for more

Orion do you have tips on how to write Venti 🙏 I'd be ever so grateful to learn
[Warning: Profanity ahead...and a really long read] Hii, you're in for a long ramble LOL
So, first things first, I'm probably not the best Venti writer out there. No, not even probably, I'm not. I try to write as closely as possible to canon however I know that's difficult as my own headcanons and perception of Venti will show themselves in my writing. And I genuinely think that there are absolutely better Venti writer's out there to ask.
(you can skip to around "Honestly this is..." to skip a whole lot of my rambling because genuinely instead of giving tips I just rambled. No matter how I try to think of it, you'll end up with the entire ramble no matter what :skull:)
Venti is a complex character, like genuinely a very complex character. People like dumbing him down to this silly little guy that's a drunkard and I get real annoyed when that's all people see him as. Venti is much more than the "carefree persona" he puts on. There's so much depth to his character.
Another thing to take note of, when I write for Venti, I'm usually writing him for comfort as he's a comfort character of mine. Most of my works are more focused on the reader than Venti, but the very few times I've written solely for Venti, I wrote angst with him. And there I honestly just went into the zone so how I write him is beyond me.
If I'd have to give tips on how to write him, it would be to make him more than just some silly little guy that's there for comedic relief. If you think about it Venti is the most mysterious archon we've met so far. He speaks in riddles when he knows he can't give an outright answer because that defeats the whole point of figuring it all out on your own.
He's a mischievous character. From hiding the broken Holy Lyre of der Himmel that he immediately made a break for after saying his little trick won't last forever to forging Morax's signature back when the aristocracy rules Mondstadt in order to help free Mondstadt once more. Another thing people tend to forget in the fandom is that Venti is actually really intelligent, which again isn't recognized under his "he's just a silly little guy" thing the fandom has going on for him.
Okay, I'm getting off track, this is more turning into me ranting about the fandom and being way to passionate about him :skull:
How I try to write him is to show depth to his character. I learn something new about his character every day. Like genuinely. If it wasn't for the venti nation over on twitter who are just as passionate about him as I am, I wouldn't have known half the shit I do now.
I think reading his character story and the Mondstadt lore (like the skyward weapons lore) really helped me find some depth into his character as not only the infamous bard of Mondstadt but also the god of Freedom and Hope. Maybe looking at the actual demon Barbatos would give some ideas on him as well.
Writing him is honestly a hassle, because you need to know when he'd make a riddle or a rhyme off the top of his head and when he'd talk to you like a normal person. Even in his voicelines, as far as I can remember, he doesn't rhyme often. Which made me realize that Kazuha really does talk by spitting out flowers from his mouth because I swear it's easier to write for Venti than for Kazuha who speaks in flowers :sob:
Another thing that helped me understand him a little better is simply looking up his fandom wiki page and seeing how they describe him. The first time I saw what stood there, I was like, "oh...that actually makes sense." (in reference to him hiding a lonely soul specifcally.)
When I do write him, I try to still keep his characteristic traits like being mischievous, carefree, wise, and lonely. Like I can absolutely imagine him stealing some apples from Dawn Winery and to be cheeky, he'd even sit atop the winery eating at the apples. But I keep in mind how he'd sometimes just sit alone and think. Like in his story quest, where at the end he sits on the hands of the Barbatos statue after telling us the story of the nameless bard and how he became the god of freedom. How he grieves for a friend/the friends he had lost. You can't tell me that by the end of his story quest you didn't feel the loneliness that basically oozes off of him.
I try to creep in that old timer feeling too because let's be real, he's a god, he's over thousands of years old, he has experience, ya get me? He'd have that hint of old soul vibes. And also let's not forget webtoon Venti where he was loud and proud about his songs (or rhymes or whatever was exactly said there) being twice as good as that of Barbatos himself (ironic because he literally is Barbatos). Like he is proud of being the best bard in Mondstadt.
ALSO Venti is super observant, like I will die on this fucking hill. He would know when something's up.
A big thing that I want to incorporate into my writing if I write him and it needs this, is that it will always feel like he's hiding something from you. Because it was recently brought to my attention that he doesn't always tell the truth or he talks in such a roundabout way that it diverts your attention to something else.
That and the fact that he is literally trying to hide just how powerful he truly is. He doesn't like drawing attention to himself, especially if it outs his true identity. Fucking "the weakest archon of the Seven" my ass. Like did you know that before people use a glider that they literally need to say a prayer to Barbatos to allow them to glide? I didn't either until a recent read up on a hyperfocus on Mondstadt fashion and someone on reddit said that people offer prayers to Barbatos every time they glide. If his power as an archon is based on how many people believe in him, than fuck bro you're straight up lying if the entirety of Teyvat is literally praying every time they use a glider. Like my dude is literally such a liar just to conceal his tracks and diverts attention away from himself.
Also whether or not that reddit user is correct on the prayer thing, I have no clue. I might be AR 59 but I am so behind on actual quests and shit that I just don't know, so how credible or true that is, I'm not sure. You can only trust any of my words when it comes to the archon quest lore :skull:
Honestly this is just turning into a ramble of a lifetime. I apologize sefhfef Overall, I'm not exactly sure how I write Venti or if I write him correctly. When I write there is (sometimes) no thoughts behind my eyes, just aggressive typing while I listen to music and I just pray that I write him accurately. Venti is such a complex character that it's hard to simply just...give tips because there's so much about his character that I could talk about.
I know for a fact that I try to convey not only his playful demeanor, but also his serious and caring nature. Like please, he isn't always cheerful or playful and he knows when to be serious and take things seriously.
And I try to incorporate that old timer feeling he would absolutely have because he is literally thousands of years old. (Adding this here as well for in case you did skip the whole ramble)
I can ramble about his character for days, probably, and I'd still never get to how I write him.
What I can say is to just listen to his voicelines, read his character story and go off memory of how you perceive him and know of him. Listen to other characters voicelines about him. Get to know him in a sense through those.
If you're unsure of whether you're writing him as accurately as possible (or simply just right), ask a Venti simp/fan to beta read for you. That's what I'm doing with my Eula series, I asked a friend if she could help me write Eula more accurately and she referred me to another friend of hers that loves Eula and that friend agreed to helping me in understanding Eula as not only a character but to also portray her as accurately as possible.
If you have no excessive Venti simps to turn to *tucks hair behind ear* Hit me up and I'll happily help you out by once again rambling about him <3

I picked giving a speech on that poll but I forgot that I say like 5 words a day irl so my voice would probably crumble under the weight of words within 10 minutes and I'd have to croak my way to the finish line

I'm just gonna share a bit of my tpc au rq; so in my au theres this sub-species of shapes known as Anima-Shapes (this terminology may change if i find a better term). Anima-shapes are essentially shapes with animal-like features like ears and tails. These traits aren't specific to only one specific species of shape as anyone can have them whether it be a sphere with fish like features or a pentagon that looks a bit like a cat (speaking of which; the Cube in my universe just so happens to be one of em). So... I guess that covers it...?

From Variables, for the writing meme:
“He did.” He lets out a mirthless chuckle, wishing with all his heart that he didn’t have to be the one to tell her about her child’s newfound ability to finish a fight. “Your son has become quite the warrior, Barbara. He had a sword to my back and would not have hesitated to run me through, if not for the bond. Does that justify bringing you into this mess? Absolutely not. And if I had known the true intention of the enchantment…” He shakes his head. “Well, I never would have used it.”
Barbara’s fists unclench, and her shoulders sag as she pinches the bridge of her nose. “Okay, fine. But none of that changes the fact that you wanted my son dead.”
“Darling…” Walter takes a deep breath. “If I truly wanted Jim dead, he would be.”
She believes him – she really does. And it scares her how easily she can accept that this man, this dangerous creature she’s somehow managed to fall in love with, is not a physical threat to her family. “So what do we do now?”
“Now?” He frowns, unfamiliar with this new level of uncertainty.”I guess that all depends on you.”
“Me?”
“I know I don’t deserve another chance, but I’m stupid enough to hope for one because…” The changeling’s toe taps anxiously and his gaze veers off to the left, too nervous to look at her. “I love you, Barbara.”
There may be an underlying tremor in her voice, but Barbara’s response is still hard as flint when she responds, “No. No, you don’t. Not really. The things you did… You don’t do that to the people you love. And I get that I can’t really hold you to normal human standards, but we both know you’re intelligent enough to understand how your actions were solely self-serving. When you love someone, Walt, you do everything in your power to put their needs above yours. You… You did the exact opposite.”
ah, yes. variables. my love, my heart, my favorite way to torture strickler… honestly, i wish i could find the inspiration to add more to this fic because it’s an absolute delight to write. like, seriously. so much fun. and when the words start to flow for this one, they don’t stop. which is always such an AMAZING feeling
and the chapter that this excerpt is taken from? one i’m particularly proud of, so i’m insanely happy that it stuck out to you. very validating, lol
anyway, onto the “dvd commentary”:
i’ve always subscribed to the headcanon (as i think most people in the trollhunters fandom have) that if strickler had ever really wanted jim dead, he would be. there’s probably some crazy awesome meta post out there about it, too - but this was my way of getting that point across. and i really do think barbara would take strickler’s words at face value when it comes to this. at least, in this fic. he’s got nothing left to lose, right? so there’s really no sense in lying. and as much as she says she doesn’t believe she knows him, she knows deep down she knows his heart. he could have skipped town, right? could have turned his back on them all the second his schemes came to light? or when he realizes exactly how much he screwed up with the whole soul bond? but he doesn’t. instead, he goes to the obgyn with her (which is more than jls ever did) and cleans up the kitchen for her. it’s not that difficult for her to believe he never meant to truly hurt her son, not when she now knows who he is and what he’s capable of. dude does not live for hundreds of years under the thumb of an evil troll hellbent on the destruction of humankind by resting on his laurels 
(there’s also a little unwritten scene between the first and second chapters wherein strickler gives a very brief, abridged version of the history of changelings and their general role while the two of them are sitting in the car outside of the hospital)
but that does not mean she trusts him
because she knows that he knows what he did is wrong. it doesn’t matter that he’s not human. he’s been in the human world long enough to know. he’s been in the human world long enough to understand. he’s around people every day. good people. people she - he - cares about. what he’s been through matters (and would most definitely be analyzed in future chapters if they’re ever to be written) but at this point, she can’t really care. he lied to her. he used her. he attacked her son
he didn’t trust her
she’s in shock
and despite it all, she’s still in love with him
