Finally Got Around To Making A Video After A Looooooooong Time

Pretty boi 🌺

Another experiment with the new watercolor paper. I think I’ve only tried to do skin with watercolor once before. At the beginning I thought it looked terrible. But it actually turned out quite okay :D.

I love this one.

Evolution

I have recently come to realize that I’m at a stage in life where I find myself attracted to a literary genre I never held any interest in: realism.

Or rather, realism with wondrous things sprinkled in.

Specially like that presented in Japanese literature.

What I’m really looking for I think, is connection. Being able to relate to the story to a deeper level than the fantasy stories I used to be so obsessed with (which no offense, but are usually not written to relate with anyone. YA Fantasy writing tends to be bleak when it comes to the relatable side of things).

I am touched by stories about people struggling through life’s bumps, pushing through as they find connections with others and hope in the little things; perhaps lessons they learned as children and forgot as they aged, or perhaps in magical wonders they encounter.

Slice of life stories are specially entertaining to me now. Broken as I am, there’s a part of me that lights up with stories I can empathize with. It stitches me up a bit inside. Helps hold me together.

There are so many books of this kind I wanna read. Stories that can warm me inside and hold my stitches together.

I never thought I’d become interested in realism (after, you know, literally living through it).

Guess a point a comes where you just wanna know you’re not the only one in pain.

I think this is one of my first digital art original pieces that is completed, and I mean original as in not fanart.

I’m so happy with this one, I didn’t even have to use references for the pose, just for the flowers! 🥺🤧😭 I’m so happy with how far I’ve gotten, and I hope to keep learning.

I just finished Wednesday and I just wanted to share some opinions, My first and this is not even an opinion it’s a fact, Thing is the best character in the whole fucking show. Fight me idc. Opinion two, I think aromatic Wednesday would be literally amazing (or if Enid and Wednesday got together). I just don’t like any of the love interests, the chemistry is just not there. My third and final opinion is that Wednesday outfits slay so mf hard. Anyways that’s it, I love this show.🫶🏽

Thought the exact thing. Speedran the series only point out how many complaints I got about the writing. It’s fantastic visually, but the writing is poor.

So I had to stop on episode 6. Gonna continue watching tonight. I just have one thing to say so far. People think a good adaptation is the one that follows the story of the original. It’s not. It’s the characters. The characters are the ones that made the original so good. And none of them are as fleshed out here. You cannot seriously tell me the katara you see in the original is the one you see in the live action.

The writers decided to take the struggle and the growth of the characters away. I’m on episode 6. So far, Aang had everything come so easy to him, he didn’t struggle at all. Kyoshi fought for him at Kyoshi island. He enters the spirit world so easily, he finds Roku so freaking fast, he immediately knows Hei Bai is the spirit of the forest, out of nowhere. He learns absolutely nothing through those 6 episode. I could talk for hours about how that scene with Gyatso was a cop out. Why should their main character suffer right? He shouldn’t. So they just make up a scene where Aang meets Gyatso and he just outright tells him there’s nothing he could have done so he shouldn’t feel guilty.

The OG never had that scene. Because the OG knew the audience was smart enough to realize it themselves. There was nothing Aang could have done if he hadn’t run away, he would have died. But Aang needs to realize this himself, he needs to confront his feelings, learn from his mistakes, forgive himself and move on. But these days, writers don’t want their characters going through a journey, nope, the characters are just perfect, from the beginning to end.

Same said for Zuko. The writers apparently decided to make him softer, have higher morals, not as angry or determined, because that would make Zuko complex and interesting. He was good at heart in the OG show too, but he was spoiled and angry and violent. He’s none of that here, he’s gentle and respectful to everyone and just wants to capture the avatar, but not too much though. Zuko doesn’t even give everything he has to capture Aang, he doesn’t hire pirates, he doesn’t hire June himself (Iroh has to convince him to do it), he doesn’t follow Aang into the fire nation, you don’t feel his desperation, his determination, just how much he wants to go home. How could his journey feel interesting when we don’t see the dramatic shift in his character? The most interesting character in the show is not as ineteresting when he doesn’t go from a spoiled angry hurt teenager to an honorable smart and compassionate young man.

Yes, the story is fine, the visuals are nice, but it’s all very surface level. Everything is just flat.

no but I adoreeee the role reversal between kitty and puss when it comes to traditionally masculine/feminine roles in the last wish like idk if it was the same in pib 1 but the way kitty takes the lead when they’re dancing?? she’s his equal in strength not ‘weak cause she’s a woman’ or ‘so powerful her personality is overhauled so she can be a cardboard cutout Strong Woman’?? kitty isn’t left at the altar, she leaves of her own volition because she has a strong handle on what she’s worth and what she deserves?? puss gets to be vulnerable and feel afraid and need others help without it somehow being an attack on his masculinity or it detracting from his bravery?? kittys the one who catches puss in that romantic ass dip when he falls on the boat?? by god he even wears eyeliner. bi4bi girlboss/malewife fr

Omg ao3 collapsed cuz of a ddos attack. All the addicts are going crazy without a fix.

I’m one of em.

I wanna see if you'd ever do gender neutral versions of your wattpad stories?

I read them when I was still comfortable with the pronouns, but as for now I'm not anymore. I really like The dragon and the fox. Just wondering.

Hiii omg I never thought I’d get one of these through tumblr. I’m so glad you enjoy the naruto one, it’s my fave.

In the future, I’d def like to. I’m genderfluid/nonbinary myself so I totally get it, it’s just a time issue.

I’d like to release a neutral version once the fic is completed. But it’s definitely a loong time away from now, sorry.

I just dont have the time for writing fics I used to in high school.

Is it just me, or is tumblr infested with bots recently?

My recent yt vid!
