Why don't you post your one shots to AO3?

Do people want me to? I always kind of considered them more like rough drafts, because typically I write them and then post in just a couple of hours (unlike my longer fics that I sit on for quite a long time, sometimes even months, to make sure I’m happy with them). They aren’t as clean, or as thought out, or just in general not as polished as what I consider “AO3 worthy”. Being that it’s easier to filter out and find stories there, I really don’t feel like my one shots are worth being among the fantastic fics that get posted there, hoping to be found and read. 

Not that the one fic I have there is anything to write home about, but I definitely feel like it’s more polished than my one shots here. If people want me to post them there though, I can start doing so. 

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, this kind of threw me for a loop. I definitely appreciate the thought behind it though…if I’m interpreting it correct. ^^”

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

used a reference for everything

thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)

sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing

THUMBNAILS

color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work

you like that pose? redo it one more time

USE A DAMN REFERENCE

do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy

draw the goddamn background you coward

just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand

the rule of thirds WORKS

take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint

know that art takes longer as you get better at it

draw the seams on clothes

stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts

just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works

stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

When finally Neil talks to Bee...

Neil: Sometimes people get mad at me, you know, without reason? And I don't get why.

---*earlier at practice that day*---

Nicky: Oh shit, Neil, are you okay?!

Neil, on the floor, bleeding from his nose and a cut on his forehead after colliding head first against the wall: I'm fine.

Foxes: *incoerhent pterodactyl screech*

Nicky and European figures of speech

Tomorrow I’ll fix the format but for now…

• In Italy, when someone asks for too much or too many things at once and they come off as demanding, it’s a common sassy remark to say “And maybe a slice of ass too?” so now imagine:

• Erik heard it from some Italian guys who came to Germany to study when he was in HS and kept on using it because he found it funny

• when Nicky comes to Germany, eventually his birthday approached and Erik asks him what he wants for it

• Nicky does that thing that people do, saying nothing, he doesn’t need anything and all, and when Erik insists with the dramatic sentence “Everything you want!” (because let’s face it, this boy got him smitten from the get go), he starts jokingly list all these expensive and impossible things to see the other’s reaction

• Erik is so in love, but besides that he rolls his eyes and goes “And a slice of ass too?”

• And Nicky. Nicky, my boy

• He goes so red so fast

• Erik’s taken aback for a moment. Why is Nicky…oh

• Oh.

• OH!

• And that’s how Nicky came out to Erik and got himself a boyfriend as a birthday present

• (And yes. He got himself a piece of that ass too)
