#and it made me happy 💕

[morrowlegacy]

I got a new sketchbook to practice drawing traditionally! I’ve been so used to digital art where it’s so easy to adjust everything that I feel like it’s actually making my anatomy more stiff?? I don’t know if that makes sense but I feel like I actually don’t know how to draw anatomy, I just know how to adjust it so it looks right? So I want to try drawing traditionally every day and see if it helps. I started with a headshot of Meredydd because that’s what I’m comfortable with, but I’m chickening out about coloring it because I love how the sketch looks 😭 Plus, I don’t know how my art supplies are going to react to this new paper and I’m afraid of ruining it. Traditional art is scary-

I think digital art really helped me improve my art skills to where I’m happy with my style, so I’m very pleased about that. Now it’s time to go back to the basics.

Any tips for traditional art would be very helpful, doesn’t matter what medium, (markers, pens, paint, etc.) I’m going to try it all. This sketchbook is for trying new things even if I’m scared to do it! 😂 🫣

@illusioncanthurtme @bee-snail two for one zodiac special! something in the water today i guess lol

i don't have the start or end of my au fleshed out enough to really comment on the zodiac with confidence. while i know for certain they're not present at the start, i'm not sure how i want bill's defeat to go down. but no matter, because for at least most of the story they're wandering the wastelands.

when i was first coming up with this au, my idea had been that it would start when gideon is in jail. instead of making the deal that enabled bill to possess blendin, bill walks gideon through a ritual that will give bill a temporary physical form using gideon's blood and hair. he then uses this form to attack the pines family directly and with more of his typical abilities, allowing him to get the upper hand much more quickly and with a more serious threat.

what i liked about this idea was that it dragged gideon in from the start and really shifted more of the blame onto him. as funny as i find it for it to be "the pines family saves the world and gideon's there also," i think it brings him into the family dynamic more if ford is able to relate to him. the pines family can only be as mad at gideon as they are at ford, because both are guilty of bringing bill to gravity falls. it also allows gideon to have a clear path to redemption and gives him a role model in ford, which would be fun to have him and dipper have tension over.

what i don't like about this idea is that i feel like it'd be too complicated of a way to start, i think it introduces too many questions i don't know if i want to either answer or pretend not to see. i've toyed around with bill having the same show-down with the pines family, but it's after he shatters the rift and blendin fucks off, where instead of retreating, ford and dipper go after mabel, which prevents bills from taking her hostage. i've toyed around with it taking place right after bill captures the pines family post-failed zodiac. i don't know! i'm still leaning towards gideon and i'll just suck it up lol

but anyway, either way, the zodiac has not been assembled.

but like i said, i'm not sure how i want it to end yet! the first half of the au is horror, with everyone in bill's playpen, but the second half is scifi.

spoilers:

the pines + gideon are eventually able to escape the fearamid once time baby crashes the party. ford is able to use the distraction to lead the family away and find a space ship. because not everyone on earth is part of bill's main crew, and as much as they like to pretend at being demons, at the end of the day they're aliens and would have to travel across the nightmare realm to get to the rift.

so ford is able to find a ship he knows how to pilot manually, rips out the ai, and is able to get the family to one of the revolution base/refugee camps where he knows people from his portal days. from there the team are able to recover and regroup while ford hammers out his plan to return to alternate earth and beg fiddleford to help him build another huge fuck off gun, because HIS is back at the mystery shack and bill has that place on lock.

ive been toying for weeks with how i want the final show down to go down. do i want ford to kill him with the gun? do i want stan to pose as ford and kill him with the gun (because if he fails then at least ford has the knowledge and resources to keep the kids safe)? do i want it to fail like in the show and they HAVE to summon the zodiac? i don't know yet! work in progress!

❦ “Sleep well and have a good dream, i.e. Nik[olai]. Dm. [Demenkov - Maria's crush] (idiot)…Well, good night, I kiss you and pat you on your chubby, appetising cheeks.” - O to M, 13th Nov. 1914

❦ "I am sitting in Mr. Gilliard's rooms near the door of his water-closet where Trina's little nasty girl Katya is sitting locked in by Anastasia and myself. We've just drawn her along the dark passage and pushed her in." O to Nicholas, 9 Oct. 1915

❦ “…all (was/ as usual, a lot of running around, but I love it. Makes me feel like I am accomplishing something…” O’s diary, 11 Sept. 1916

❦ “Father asks to have it passed on to all who have remained loyal to him and to those on whom they might have influence, that they not avenge him; he has forgiven and prays for everyone; and not to avenge themselves, but to remember that the evil which is now in the world will become yet more powerful, and that it is not evil that conquers evil, but only love.” - Olga basically writing NAOTMAA’s last will and testament 1918

hi!!! ok call me silly but I found this interaction so funny and the image stuck in my head… so here’s nosy asserting dominance hope you enjoy <333

The room was quiet, save for the scratching sound of Sebastian's quill as he worked through a stack of letters. Meanwhile, his little Niffler sat proudly on his fluffy bum atop the desk as he munched away on a biscuit. Crumbs tumbled down onto the desk, scattering across the wizard's letters, but the little Niffler paid them no mind. It was just another day of being the Teal King - until Sebastian paused, opening one particular envelope, and a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"This seems to be for you," he said with a proud smirk, turning to Nosy while holding out the piece of parchment. "You teal-furred menace."

Nosy froze mid-bite, his little beak still latched onto the biscuit as a dribble of drool escaped down the side. His eyes darted to the letter fluttering temptingly before his snout. A letter? For him? Nosy's eyes widened, but only for a second. Quickly, he shook his head, as if snapping out of a daze, as if remembering himself. Well, of course it was a letter for him! Obviously! Who else could it be for?

Tossing the remainder of the biscuit over his shoulder, he sent more crumbs raining down onto Sebastian's papers. Without hesitation, he snatched the letter out of the hand of his companion and examined it closely, turning it over in his little paws. The annoying envelope had to go, and Nosy wasted no time tearing it open with his sharp, tiny claws.

The Niffler's eyes grew as round as galleons. It was him! Magnificent, superior him! There he was, in all his glory, standing victorious over the fallen pumpkin menace! Nosy let out an excited squeak, his tail wagging furiously. The detail was impeccable - his glorious teal fur, his intimidating pea shooter, even the defeated look on that stupid gourd's face! It was perfect - flawless, even!

Nosy looked back and forth between the drawing and Sebastian, practically vibrating with excitement. He waddled closer, pointing furiously between himself and the paper, and squeaking insistently as if to say, Look! Look! This is ME! He held the paper high above his head, admiring the heroic portrayal, before pulling it into a tight hug.

Without another second of delay, Nosy stuffed the precious masterpiece into his belly pouch with utmost care and took a small leap onto Sebastian's lap, sliding down his trouser leg with ease, and waddled straight to his little nest in the wardrobe.

One thick lick to the back of the drawing later, Nosy stuck it proudly on the back panel of the wardrobe. Perfect. Now, every time he curled up in his nest, he could be reminded of his greatness!
