I was only able to do 2 days of Wiztober, and they're done a day late, but here they are!
Day 1: Obsession/Apathy
[Image ID: A drawing of Fiona Mythsinger and Megan Bluebreeze. Fiona is staring forward blankly, her eyes half-lidded. Kneeling next to her is Megan, and ze is crying. Hir hand is clasped over her chest. Both are wearing their usual outfits. The background is a muted blue sky with a comet falling in the background. A signature, a stylized A_G, is over Megan's head. End ID]
I kinda went with both here, Obsession for Megan and Apathy for Fiona. Anyway, Azteca momence.
Day 5: Student/Teacher
[Image ID: A transparent drawing of Alhazred, Arthur Wethersfield, and Flint Anvilbreaker. The drawing is done in side profile. Alhazred is an elderly Krok who has one hand on Arthur's right arm. Arthur is a Marleybonian dog with his left hand on Flint's left arm. Flint's right hand is raised. Arthur's right arm and Flint's left are pulled back slightly. All three characters are looking ahead with neutral expressions. A signature, a stylized A_G, is in front of each character. End ID]
I don't have a lot to say about this one, they r important to me <3

ridi im sorry i need to rant and i think youll get it 😭 like not to be a bitch but this fandom kinda going off the rails and annoying the shit out of me https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRbYASpf/ everybody in the comments unironically loving it,,, i mean wtvr ship who you want but its kinda getting delusional like ppl are just operating on thin air and pretty fancasts atp and i do Not understand or emotionally connect with any of it. at least w wolfstar theres so much material and foundation to explore but what is all the rest of this?? just hot celebrity fancasts and crack. to be fair part of me respects taking a terfs canon material and making everybody gay but the way it seems to be so oversaturating fics and the fandom that characters dont even feel like their original selves .. atp its all just surface level OCs
hello! yes! i'll be honest talking about things like this always make me a little nervous, and i feel obligated to preface anything i say with a disclaimer that none of it really matters, nothing i say matters, and you should do what you like, because--who cares. i am not an authority on--anything, frankly. my opinion holds no more weight than the next guy's, and all i'm doing here is giving it, so. essentially what im saying is--people are perfectly entitled to disagree with me, but people are not entitled to be mean to me about it xx
having said that. it is my personal opinion that s x barty is one of the worst fucking things i have ever heard lol. who even is barty who is that guy. why would s be interested in him at all. i do not understand it it does not make sense to me. from where are we sourcing the character traits and personality that we are giving barty that would ever endear sirius to him, because it objectively cannot be canon.
overall i do not get the new interest in barty + evan + pandora (+ regulus, but we won't go there)...at all, other than guessing that people were bored with the marauders and wanted a new version of them (and new celebrities to fancast) while simultaneously changing next to nothing about them other than superimposing them onto the first slytherin side characters they could rustle up. i expect ive become a bit of a broken record in regards to my dislike of the popular meow-meow-ification + complete absolution of regulus as a character in order to make him a loveable oc (just as i think erasing all the negative traits that r/s have in order to make them more likeable is just as boring), and all of that applies to those other guys as well (with the slight difference that they are, somehow, even less interesting and significant than regulus in canon), so i won't get into that too much. but i think what you say about having no emotional connection to any of it is exactly right lol--it is a sort of shift? i guess? in the fandom that is simply of no interest to me. they are characters that i just have no emotional investment in and admittedly struggle a little to understand why other people do. i am emotionally invested in, like, five characters overall (and even out of those--there's only two i'm really here for innit xx) and i personally cannot extend that investment to a creepy little side character who is mentioned maybe twice in the entire series.
and that is okay! i do not need to understand it. i don't want to say it annoys me because honestly--i don't go there, its nothing to do with me. if i dont like it i just wont interact with it, and the fact that it doesn't interest me has no bearing on what other people are into or want to do, and i couldn't give less of a shit what people do with the canon material, which is largely garbage anyway. take the bits you want from it, play around with those and ignore the rest. in that respect we are all doing exactly the same thing. but yeah i think s x barty is genuinely awful lol. hate it. very terrible. he's already got a loser werewolf boyfriend and he loves him so so much. leave him alone.

As a semi-professional homebrewer, the best advice I can give to get better at homebrewing is to live through a global pandemic just as you were getting into TTRPGs, then use homebrewing as a method of escapism during quarantine and to satisfy your fixation with the game while you don't have a group, so that your understanding of TTRPGs becomes inseparable from tinkering with rules.

So these are some extremely rough and messy doodles of me sort of evaluating myself on cat drawing knowledge. Seems like I know a fair bit but there's still a lot I gotta learn lmao. Need to fight The Urge to draw all cats as amorphous blobs and start thinking with an Anatomical Correctness mindset
Also gotta figure out how. In the hell my style is gonna translate when it's fully colored and every character in this story is made to look like a true individual haha hooo boy that's gonna be a doozy to figure out
So yeah! I'm Learning! I Do Not normally draw cats like this! Expect illustrations starting out to look mad goofy!
