i think people get so used to their own creative work that they forget how amazing it is so i’m making this post as a reminder You are the only person capable of making art the exact way you make it. nobody else on earth can do that. there are always going to be those little habits and intricacies and details that simply cannot be replicated whether it’s in writing or painting or textiles and you make life all the better for it i love my friends’ art i love art from strangers im trying to love my own art I LOVE YOU!!! THE PERSON READING THIS!!!!!!! YOU ARE A PART OF THIS WORLD NEVER EVER STOP MAKING THINGS THAT CAN IMPACT IT

Even though it wasn't your intention, I just want to say thank you for finally inspiring me to work on my first comic series I've been dreaming about thanks to your silly fan comic. You really nail the style of the show both writing and visually! I'm so excited to see how CHDH turns out, can't wait for the next upload!
''I made something because of you" is the best compliment any artist can get, so THANK YOU! I was indirectly inspired by @kimtiny's Ghost AU, so I'm honoured to be another link in the chain.
Congrats on joining the hallowed ranks of the few, the proud, the Clone High fanartists (the only troops I respect)
I think the reason I like writing Faith fanfic over any other fandom is just because of how open ended the game can be. Every single choice can play a factor in how John is characterized. From the successful ability to save everyone vs the inability to even save yourself to even the simplest choices like Lisa or Garcia can affect who John is as a person. So yes, the exhausted pathetic wet dog of a man in "In Astaroth's Name, Amen", the sniveling coward feeling sorry for himself and completely helpless to his own misery in "Father Ward, Curse His Soul" and the snarky father trying his absolute goddamn best not to murder his husband in "Nuclear Family" are all the same John Ward. All because of a few slightly different choices

Something I find fascinating about Slay the Princess is the way in which it's determined that a route is "complete" and Shifty can yoink the Princess. In theory, Miss Mound can see the vessels as soon as they step outside the construct, but that doesn't mean she will automatically grab them. Instead, she seems to wait until the thread you end the Princess wove together is complete.
In some cases, it's when you reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion (fight the Adversary or Eye of the Needle, leave the cabin with the Damsel or any permutation of the Spectre) or reach a stalemate (refuse to fight Eye of the Needle, fall forever with the Wraith, Witch locks you in the basement).
In other cases, she intervenes to avoid premature destruction of the construct that might result in her being forever incomplete (Apotheosis and Networked Wild).
Whatever the case, the truth of the situation goes far beyond the Narrator's simplistic understanding of "world ends when she leaves the construct." Does Shifty have insight into each vessel's perspective that allows her to know when to act or can she simply not see them, inside or outside the construct, until their threads are fully woven?
I like to believe it's the former and that when you leave the cabin with HEA, she decides to give the two of you a little extra time together to fulfill the Princess' wish for a starlit dance. She's waited uncountable eons after all; what's another few minutes?
a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:
-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings
-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)
-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)
-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)
-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same
-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well
-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped
-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt
-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians
-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be
-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia
-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that
-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told
-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions
-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect
-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think
greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!
