This Is A Picture For Those Who Think Being A Writer Is Easy: WE FEELING STRESSED ALL THE TIME!!!!!

my girl! V design lol, she has bioluminescence, her markings appear and glow in the dark, I gave her bird like talons because I feel like female Disassembly Drones are always in the air fighting and rarely on the ground, at least that’s the vibe that their cannon legs gave me- besides that, gave her her glasses and scarf obviously, and redesigned the tail since the thin and weak cord was definitely a weakness that a fighter should not have, like, c’mon, if one of her best weapons is gonna be at the tip, at least make the tail chonky and hard to sever!, most of her scars are from the sentinels, but the one by her visor is from CYN-

:3 I hope y’all enjoy this art!

you think the story forgets you when you’re gone. it doesn’t. it waits. patiently. then bites your ankle the second you log back in.

May I present, an Uzi?-

:3, i actually drew this a while back, but forgot to post it- oops- sorry, here have her now-

When writing toxic family dynamics

Toxic family stuff isn’t always screaming matches or broken plates. Sometimes it’s quiet control. The expectation to shrink, the pressure to be perfect, the guilt that rides shotgun. It’s complicated. And it’s deeply, deeply personal.

✧ Make the love real, but conditional.  One of the most damaging things about toxic family is the illusion of love. It’s not “I love you no matter what.” It’s “I love you when you obey.” Let your character notice that.

✧ Control shows up in micro ways... Who’s allowed to speak. Who’s allowed to feel. Who apologizes first, even when they’re not wrong. Control doesn’t need to be loud. Sometimes it’s a raised eyebrow or a guilt trip.

✧  Let them question reality. Toxic families are great at gaslighting. Your character might constantly wonder, Was it really that bad? Am I being dramatic? Let them doubt their own memories. That internal confusion is real.

✧ The guilt will be crushing. Leaving a toxic family doesn’t feel empowering at first. It feels selfish. It feels wrong. It feels like betrayal, even when it's survival. Show your character grieving the fantasy of the family they wish they had.

✧ Let them try to earn love. Your character might work their ass off trying to “be good,” hoping maybe this time they’ll be enough. Toxic families move the goalposts. Let that break them a little.

✧ Show emotional whiplash... One moment everything is warm and nostalgic. The next, it’s tense and full of landmines. That unpredictability is the dynamic. Use it.

✧ Don’t make the villain cartoonish. Even the abuser might think they’re doing what’s best. They might bake cookies and say “I’m just worried about you.” That’s what makes it so damaging. Write them like people, flawed, manipulative, real.

✧ Let your character unlearn in layers. Even after they leave, they still flinch. Still fold under pressure. Still crave approval. Recovery isn’t clean. But it’s worth it. And when they finally say no, even just once, let it be electric.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

Not particularly my favorite, but I am happy enough with how it turned out to post it-

Had to draw these two-

technically I ship them both with Thad and Doll too, but I just wanted to draw these two for rn-

I am so proud of this-

More head-canons/analysis thingys

Luisa and Mirabel have a really great and sweet relationship. Luisa seems genuinely very kindhearted and like she takes her role as big sister seriously. She also doesn’t treat her differently for having no powers.

When she gets in the way of Luisa, she responds with “careful sis”, unlike Isabela who responds with an angry “what is your problem!?”

And unlike Isabela who is jealous and thinks Mirabel has it easy, Luisa is never seen showing that kind of attitude despite being probably one of the most overworked Madrigal, to the point of being compared to a mule (beast of burden).

The one time we see her yell at Mirabel, she apologizes immediately saying “uh, wow… sorry, that snuck out there”, showing that she almost never gets angry at Mirabel, if ever.

In Surface Pressure she tells Mirabel to give her burdens to her and Mirabel smiles for a split second (while Luisa worries about things that will hurt Mirabel). They also don’t have the kind of animosity that Maribel had with Isabela at the start.

And finally, I mean… look at this 🥺

Mirabel looks so uncertain, I’m wondering if they forgot her again but Luisa noticed and dragged her into the photo.

I hope if a series comes out we will get to explore this dynamic more.
