better to do it imperfect than to not do it at all, lock in, lock in, lock in

[mari-lair]

this literally came to me in a dream exactly like this- with more care and consideration one could probably make up a believable context around this, but I just wanted to quickly capture the snippet and throw it into the world without any further processing

MARIIIIII LOOK AT HIM

YEEEEEEES, If there is one think that never dissapoints, it's the art!

THOUGHTS ON CHAP 127

...

I mean, is cool that Akane is getting somewhat better at pep talks,(even if he does still sucks <3 who replies "why are you being so nice?" with "cause i need to, is a pep talk, just accept my half real talk half bullshit and save everyone!") but outside that I don't really feel anything? I am not dissapointed or hyped or angry or much of anything. Aidairo made it clear their priorities/preferences and mine are not the same for this arc, and while I was sad at first i'm chill now, I'll just wait for the next arc and hope it hooks me back.

Hello, I am a lad full of stupid questions.

So, I like your isolated stargazer AU and I was wondering, how does siff sound in your head? And does it change much across different languages? (Siff in all their forms always sounds kinda Irish in my head for some reason?) Anyway that's all au good have a nice day♡♡♡

oh, specific question :0

Canon Sif got the voice the ShortOneGaming's let's play gave to them, because that was how I was introduced to the game and i got attached to it like a leech. The lost language sounds russian to me.

The stargazer's voice is more quiet than canon, his speech slower, with a thicker accent. And they do speak different in the lost language! (voice get loud, and it used to be very soft, but it got extremelly raspy over the years, like a heavy smoker ---> cause it damaged their throat) . Is hardto show this in comic format but I try by making his speech and thought bubbles different colors.

Happy let Papyrus say fuck day!

[mari-lair]

pre-canon save me. show me their “mysterious rogue” days. the assumptions that he’s unapproachable and standoffish. so I can be sad about the approaching inevitable, of course,

[mari-lair]

I noticed a typo here (https://www.tumblr.com/mari-lair/786333305256755200/wishcraft?source=share): "crumbled" was surely meant to be "crumpled", given the context of paper.

Thanks! I fixed

ISAT 2025 Art Bang!

After the telephone game lot of people told me that they were interested in joining another project just like it so here we are!

Sign up is available here!

There's a project server invite at the end, you're not required to join it but please don't feel anxious to join! The previous participants have created a very kind community 'v'

The timeline!

What is an Art Bang?

An art bang is meant to create a BANG of fanwork in the fandom! You (and as many authors who sign up) come together to write fanfics from scratch. The fanfic can be an idea that you’ve been wanting to write for a while and just haven’t gotten the motivation to, a fanfic you haven’t been able to continue but want to, or it can be an idea someone else suggests when you join.

Halfway through the writing process authors will be paired up with artists who have read a summary of their work and want to draw for it. When everything is finished, everyone will release their fanfic and fanart in the same week in an explosion of fanworks!

More info below the readmore!

How does it work?

Step 1: Authors sign up and start writing on June 28th. Authors CANNOT add any words to their official word count until after June 28th.

Step 2: After about a month, Authors submit a snippet or summary of their fic which is presented to the artist participants anonymously.

Step 3: Artists choose as many fics that they’d be interested in drawing for and I organize and pair up everyone together.

Step 4: Authors finish up writing, Artists finish up drawing.

Step 5: Works are scheduled to be uploaded to Ao3 and/or Tumblr!

Rules/Expectations

If you use generative AI or AI “assistance” I will trap you in a timeloop ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

AI anything is not allowed under any circumstances and will get you immediately banned from this project and any future projects.

All fics must be uploaded to either Ao3 or Tumblr

Spoilers for ISAT and SASASA:P are not reinforced in the Discord server

Authors

Authors must write at least 10k words in total.

Authors can write as many chapters and fanfics as they want.

Can be about anything! It can even be a continuation of a previous fic that you’ve lost motivation on, but you still must write at least 10k words in total.

Can be any rating! General Audiences to Explicit are welcome 

Authors who want to write Explicit fics must confirm they are 18 years or older.

Artists

Artists must create at least one finished artwork. 

If artists want to create something like an animation or animatic, they can check in with me and we can decide together what is a reasonable finished goal.

Artists can create artwork for multiple fics.

Artists who want to draw for explicit fics must confirm they are 18 years or older.

Can I share snippets of my work before the artist claims?

Preferably no, artist claims are made anonymously so that works are picked without any bias.

10k words seems like a lot?

Altogether, yes, but this challenge extends over 2.5 - 3 months, that’s roughly 3k words a month.

Can I write multiple fics?

Yes, but one of them needs to reach the 10k word mark.

Do explicit fics mean nsfw/sex included things, or is it general heavy themed ones?

Both. Nsfw/sex and general heavy themes.

How 'high level' do the art pieces need to be? i dont want to just do simple sketches of course but how complex should they be?

Since you'll be given a month+ to work on your piece, at the minimum it should be a polished piece. IE Lineart, color, shading

Are there going to be any more updates on the change it up au?

Hopefully yes, I do still have ideas for that au, I just need to do 3 (or 4) stargazer comics first, cause they are rotating in my head.
