my actual reaction every single time I see “you have to read to be a writer” posts

[souenkun]

I loooove the jp fandom's headcanon that geeta and larry are childhood friends who met during their time in the academy and, sometime in the future, geeta personally recruited larry to work for the paldean pokemon league, as she must be one of the first people who knew of his prowess in pokemon battling! Like yeah, the whole geeta being a "strict boss who is frustrated by larry's stubborn insistence to be an average worker that she has to assign him different workloads just to broaden his horizon" idea is intriguing, but stepping it up a notch by making geeta be the "best friend a.k.a the only one who has seen larry at his very best and his very worst, and knows for a fact that he could excel at anything he put his mind into if he steps out of his comfort zone, so she doesn't particularly drag him out of said zone, but pushes him out of it each time she can because she can't bear to see her best friend be unaware of the good chances and positive things that awaits him out there, not if she has a (small) say in it" is also downright hilarious 😭🤚

*bangs hands down* Can you explain your process for making comics? I was reading through the off the strings tag and started wondering. Particularly if you have any tips for layouts that'd be nice.

hello pal buddy amigo i dont have a real process because i make art like a fiend!!!!

so okay thats not Entirely true, my process for comics is to have a scene in my head and then just start drawing! its really convenient for my rain world ocs because im kinda just drawing events but it wouldnt work so well for like. an actual longform comic. which is i think why i struggle so hard to really work on one

but anyways!! i usually have an idea for a scene and dialogue (or atleast the majority of the dialogue) in mind. i genuinely, unironically spend more than half my time thinking about my characters doing things and talking and its Very helpful for dialogue. then i just start drawing! i dont script and i usually just go start to end

as for layout advice, i will try my best to explain this in a comprehensible way, but variation between panel types is satisfying to the eyes

if i cant keep to the one two rule and i need two in a row consecutively, i try to variate the panel sizes! variations in the shapes is just better to look at, at least for me. i try to avoid too many parallel lines inbetween separate panels

the panels are a tool in their own right. im actually not very educated on professional comic layouts so a lot of what i do is based off what Feels right and what i see others do have some panel sizes and variations and my reasoning for choosing them:

this is purely stylistic but i like making the panels lose their shape and become chaotic in the midst of serious violence! i think it implies the chaos/disorder of the scene, but it can also be a tool to build action

i wish i could give you advice on text layout but im very bad at that so i cant LMAO

hopefully this is helpful at all :'D

i’m crying I just thought of an Alice in Wonderland AU with the junior trio where Jin Ling is Alice, Lan Sizhui is the white rabbit, Lan Jingyi is the Cheshire cat, Lan Wangji is the caterpillar, Wei Wuxian is the mad hatter and Jiang Cheng is the Red Queen

except Wonderland’s creatures and environment are all based on Chinese mythology, flora/fauna, ancient architecture, etc.

like the absolute chaos of this situation, i’m gonna s c r e a m

Hi, may you please spare some advice on what casual, but also cool in a hot climate, clothing a baby butch could look into wearing that’s a bit fashionable and isn’t just a shirt and a cargo shorts?

whew first of all donate any & all cargo shorts immediately (pretend tan france is telling you that Urgently). i do understand finding shorts can be kind of weird depending on ur body shape bc men’s shorts are often bulky & long. i prefer a 5’ inseam, but you can go for a 7’ if that feels better. under No circumstances should ur shorts hit ur knees lol. madewell has some pretty good options (if you can find one that’s mens & womens in-store that’s the best). pacsun usually has some pretty chill options. for online shopping, bearbottom shorts is not too expensive & has a lot of colors in both 5’ & 7’ shorts. i really like the swim shorts both& just made (not sure if they’re sold out). get lighter colors in the summer if you want for shorts, & just… no khaki.

& i love a t-shirt, but it’s in how it’s worn. i don’t think it even needs to be an interesting t-shirt, but it should have a fit & pov that looks intentional. i like to get my t-shirts a size up & tuck them in, sometimes pair them with an overshirt. if i know i’m going to be SWEATING & i want to wear a tshirt, i’ll wear something looser & actually thicker cotton in either black or white. i’ve had top surgery so i can wear tanks without stress but if binding is a concern, both& has some great tanks for ppl who bind.

if you do want to be more dressed up than a short/t-shirt combo, the answer is & will always be linen. a short sleeved linen button up (from really anywhere you like that fits well — uniqlo has both men’s & women’s in many earthtones for under $50!) is The Key. put it on as an overshirt over your t-shirt or wear it buttoned halfway in a french tuck. i prefer to stay away from patterns & bright colors bc it can easily look a little zany, but do your thing there. i have a few pairs of linen pants i also love, especially for things like taking my wife on a date, or if it’s just a cool day/nighttime activity etc. literally just… linen button ups & linen pants, even drawstring pants! if you wanna ball out, theory makes my favorite linen pants, but oak + fort is a close second & much more affordable. everlane also has all of these pieces in mens & womens & is very high quality!

idk ur shoe situation but two great options are always birkenstocks (the rubber ones are under $50 & v comfortable) and/or all white low air force 1s. a good all white sneaker is a great starter sneaker & will always go with everything. i myself prefer dunk lows but u gotta rly be wanting to invest in some sneakers to do that lmao but if you are! they’re cool

lastly, small accessories go a long way! i have a few chains, a small hoop earring, a ring (& my wedding ring but lol i don’t think we can count that as an accessory), & then sunglasses i love. i have a Beautiful watch from my wife but literally just a watch w a normal watch face & a leather band is better than nothing or wearing a smart watch out when there’s quite literally no need lol. a good baseball cap, either plain black or from a cool brand (mine for this summer is aime leon dore) is both a nice addition & also practical. do not & i mean Do Not carry around a backpack unless u Absolutely have to lol. masc cross body bags or canvas totes are much better if u need a bag

also:

- you can find tons of overshirts thrifting or at outlets! since they don’t have to fit perfectly it can be a great place to look for them

- i live & die by a good pair of light wash denim in the summer. allsaints & madewell always have beautiful denim, but you can look at levi’s as well, or thrift!

- tailoring is not expensive!!!!!!!!! if u find pants u love that are too long, just get them hemmed! fr it’s like $10, everyone needs a good tailor

- never underestimate a good sweatshort/t-shirt/overshirt/birks moment to go get a cup of coffee or something… 10/10

- i have definitely not been in a place financially to do this in the past, so pls take this w a grain of salt & of course do what’s best for your budget, but higher quality, simple fabrics ethically made are ALWAYS going to be best. they’ll last longer & keep their fit. launder ur clothes carefully too! hang drying pants & heavy cotton will get their lifespan to extend. & it’s 100% cool to find brands u love & stick to them. if u find a piece u like, u can get it in a few colors, rather than trying to find a bunch of other stuff. quality > quantity, capsule wardrobes are easier to wear & maintain

- some ppl whose fashion i like rn: courtney williams, arike ogunbowale, shanice van de sanden. & sue bird knows how to wear a short/button up summer set with the best of them. kristen kish Obviously. (& also i love mal from the queer ultimatum lmfaoooo)

- wear whatever u want, just not cargo shorts :)

Multidimensional travel am I right?

So uh somehow my oc became a dimension traveler XD TO NOT MUCH FAULT OF MY OWN IT JUST SNOWBALLED INTO THIS— the gist is that after the “How The Turn Have Tables” crossover fic I’m currently working on (the fic takes place around the end of season 1) Sylvia gets a side effect to where she just randomly appears in a random dimension XD so yeah that’s fun—

Also the background is basically an edited collage (by me) of all of me and my friendos art from The Employees AU. The main blog is @theemployees and I shall tag all of them so plz give them some love <3

some sage advice from co-star this morning (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

this is so true, but also so hard for me. i really want to forgive my father before he dies—not for him, but for me, for my own peace, so i don’t continue to carry this anger because it is so incredibly heavy—but i’m really struggling to do so ://

[crowbury]

quick!! how do you get over a breakup!!!

[mendel-falsettos]

Hi Mendel I know you're not my psychiatrist anymore but uhhh my current therapist didn't really help and I think everyone hates me what the fuck do I do

- @gay-weatherman

Oof, hey Marvin. Sorry to hear that. Let me tell you now—not everyone hates you. I’d say spend time with everyone you hold close to you. See how the reaction to you asking, if you really want the truth. Hope this helps!

anonymous ⧐ A small cannibal girl in blonde pig tails gently tugs on his coat. ; "Thankies for helping Auntie Rosie with that big angel during the ball. You're my hero, mister Alastor. He was scary. Those big black angels he works with cut down my parents when we were helping the pretty princess. Nice to know you and Auntie Rosie care about us cannibals." UNPROMPTED ASKS.

A hero he has never been, though he understands the sentiment as it stems from a young child. One who, seemingly, has had enough foul experiences with exorcists for the statement to mean something. While he is not overly fond of children, the appreciation is not taken lightly, and he leans to give the small girl a light pat on the head.

"Angels are simply large feathery cretins meant to be force-fed their own spears for their efforts. In the future, just know that angelic weaponry is the key and that you are not as helpless as the rest of the exterminated collective.

Go for the throat, yes?"

And please release his coat, thank you.

Gender is a fuck. Am I woman? No, but maybe. I'm definitely no man. Might be nonbinary honestly, like a nonbinary woman. But since I'm afab that feels weird to say.

Wanna experience genderfuckery but like. Not sure how. It's all a fuck and I feel kinda lost lmao. Should I even care???

Hard to tell what is and isn't ocd rn (dw m not majorly distressed just mildly annoyed and confused)

[ghost-proofbaby]

okay i did it!! i bought bg3 (been playing it nonstop since yesterday) and i suck at it. it’s on the easiest difficulty and i still suck. oh and i’m pretty sure astarion doesn’t like me very much. i don’t suppose you’d have any tips for me ?? pretty please <333

oh nooo!!! i mean hell yes to buying the game but oh no as for thinking you suck!! i promise you certainly don't. no one has a perfect first playthrough (not even the voice actors involved in the game... i'm looking at you, neil.)

my biggest tip with astarion is he's a chaos gremlin. the funniest and most chaotic options usually gain your approval with him. however, the biggest things that will influence you romancing him will be key scenes to his quest specifically! so once he starts approaching you about.... things, or reveals more about himself, just be kind to him <3 don't treat him like a monster, respect him and his autonomy, etc etc.

as for actual game play, try to have fun with it! if you really screw something up and it bothers you, don't be afraid to save scum. i always joke that f5 and f8 are my most powerful spells lol. the game is a lot more enjoyable if you lean into the RP'ing aspect and really focus on 'what would my character do?'

(if all else fails, at this point, there are romance and approval guides online. i didn't seek them out initially because i wanted to see what would happen and just got lucky that i was certainly playing for the bit and that that aligned with astarion so often. and if you have any specific issues or questions i'm always down to offer my advice although idk how helpful i am haha)

[dearsheroozle]

can you share a little bit about how you started playing dnd? i really want to find people to start playing a campaign with but i’m not sure where to begin.

so what happened was a friend asked me if i would want to watch some critical role with her because campaign 2 had just started, and i knew how much she loved it so i agreed. i really enjoyed it, and had a pretty good time, and not too long after that my other friend asked me if i wanted to join her dnd game that she was running. and i agreed because i thought it might be fun to try because critical role made it look pretty fun. and i wanted to roll dice.

it's been about 6 years since i officially joined that campaign. and we're still going! just played a session yesterday.

the way i joined dnd was really just sheer happenstance, because i had friends who wanted to play and i love being convinced to do things with people that don't involve me leaving my house.

i think roll20 had a thing where DMs would go searching for people to join their campaigns? not entirely sure how that works but i think you can try it out with a free account iirc. i think also adventuring leagues in game stores welcome new players too.

it's probably tough, i'm not gna lie. i got really lucky that i found a group who was willing to stick it out for this long. scheduling can definitely be tough sometimes (holidays are a nightmare. sometimes we go so long without playing!), and it definitely got harder the busier (older) we all got. but we've somehow made it work with 3 different time zones in 3 different countries.

i have also played in a couple other groups, though life has been getting in the way of them, so i really only have one dnd 5e campaign right now. here's hoping the other ones can return soon.

i think if you're not sure where to begin, maybe start by asking some friends who you think might be interested if they would want to play with you? this does mean you might have to DM. that's really what tends to happen. otherwise, maybe trying out some online games and meeting new people could work too! that's worked for some friends of mine. there are def a lot of videos i've watched that talk about this if you're curious too. like how to get started, and where to start, etc.

good luck!
