#anyways check out my art teehee

[doerrferr]

Devon Rodriguez is giving internet artists a bad name.

Ok, I know this happened like weeks ago - but there was an art critic, Ben Davis, from art net, who published an article reviewing Rodriguez’s exhibition in NY.

The article in question, as far as criticism of artwork goes, was one of the most gentle and nice critiques I have ever seen in the visual arts.

Davis starts the article with a brief overview of Rodriguez’s work and life and goes on to give his opinions on his work. This is his job.

As artists, we receive criticism ALL THE TIME, and it is vital to our development as artists, and to continue learning and growing. As an artist, you never become the “perfect artist” or “finished product” - there is ALWAYS room to grow and develop skills further, and that’s what criticism is about. It’s not a personal attack, it’s constructive criticism. Not to mention the fact that art is subjective, and how everyone views your work is going to be different.

As someone studying art at college, and hoping to study at uni and establish myself professionally, Rodriguez’s response to Ben Davis was shocking. I’ve received more intense critiques from my tutors and peers in courses, and they weren’t offensive to me in the slightest. We’re taught to ask for people’s views, because it is vital for us as artists. If you never receive criticism, you’ll always do the same things, make the same mistakes, and your work will become stale because you’re doing the same thing, with the same process, and while the subject you’re drawing/ painting may be different, every piece is going to look exactly the same. It’s not interesting.

The article barely criticised Rodriguez, in my opinion, yet he somehow took it as a personal attack and ranted on his instagram story, tagging davis in each of the stories posted, to his over 32 million followers, some of which went on to dog pile on the critic’s instagram … for doing his job.

It’s disgusting to see this immature behaviour from someone who claims to want to reduce gatekeeping in the art world. Rodriguez claims to be a role model, spreading kindness on the internet but his actions speak louder than his words, and the words of his PR team.

Devon Rodriguez, is often not known by name but as soon as you mention “the subway art guy” or “the guy who does hyper realistic portraits on the train”, people usually know what you mean then. And his art is good, the technique in his work is brilliant to achieve that level of realism. But every single TikTok, Reel, and YT Short is the same. As was the work in his exhibition. An art critic wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t mention that. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, sticking to one specific style/ formula, it’s definitely worked for Rodriguez. But it’s not particularly interesting, especially in an exhibition - once you’ve seen one piece, you’ve pretty much seen them all.

Again, thats not a bad thing! If you’re comfortable in a specific style and you’ve found success in sticking to the exact same thing, that’s brilliant! But most artists don’t have that luxury, and you often won’t find yourself being successful and getting jobs if your work isn’t versatile, or if your portfolio isn’t interesting. Photorealism is bloody impressive, but is it interesting? Not particularly if you’re just doing the same thing, essentially the same subject matter and colour schemes. There is a lack of expression in photorealism, that’s just how the style works. Each style has its pros and cons, and again, it varies from person to person.

There’s nothing unique about Rodriguez’s work. That’s just a fact. It’s going to happen when you keep doing the exact same thing. The only thing he leans on to distinguish himself as an individual is his story in how he rose to prominence, through TikTok. That only takes you so far if your work lacks variety, character and expression.

Ben Davis worded his thoughts in the article very nicely, and comes of much kinder than I do in this post. He was doing his job. And if he was just another commenter on TikTok, his opinions would be equally valid because he’s JUST EXPRESSING AN OPINION ON AN ARTIST’S WORK. Which anyone is free to do, and especially from art critics, or peers in the art world - is highly encouraged and useful to you as an artist.

Devon Rodriguez made an absolute fool of himself in response to Davis’ article. He’s making a fool of artists from similar backgrounds and those who hope to build a platform online for their art. Criticism goes with the job. And if art critics and those who are gatekeeping the art world think that the younger generations of artists, or online artists can’t take it , it just gives them another “reason” to keep us out.

The article was nothing but constructive, and extremely nice.

It’s awful to see such a prominent artist respond in such a childish, petty and kind of disgusting manner, and to encourage his following to do the same.

It completely opposes his belief that he’s making the art world a better place and spreading positivity, and reducing gatekeeping and negativity. He’s encouraging the exact opposite, and making it harder for artists from similar backgrounds to him, and backgrounds that often don’t get the chance to see success even remotely close to his. It’s so frustrating to see, especially given the hypocrisy in Rodriguez’s platform and because the criticism was constructive. I’ve respected his platform and his rise to prominence before all this, but i also maintain (and still do) that his work is stale. He relies on his content, not the actual work he produces.

Anyways, just needed to rant about this feel free to add your thoughts, or scroll past. Just felt like ranting to the void.

Tragedy strikes the hills when Cavernclan's camp suffers a cave-in, cutting off communication from any other cats, trapped within their tunnels. the leaders of Ridgeclan, Mudclan, and Meadowclan all believe Cavernclan to be dead, but when a ragged Cavernclan warrior stumbles into Meadowclan's camp begging for help, the clans must band together to save these underground cats.

With Ridgeclan's leader Hawkstar using this disaster to steal territory and prey, Meadowclan must convince Mudclan to help in the effort of saving Cavernclan. Will Barleystar convince Raccoonstar that Cavernclan has a chance? or will Mudclan turn their backs on the other clans, secluded deep within their pine grove?

Hihii Im nomi! I draw really random SAMS, LAES, MGAFS(sometimes) art.

sharks 🦈🦈🦈 anyway, i own a sams au

THE DREADED CODE - SAMS AU COMIC

The Dreaded Code (TDC) is an apocalyptic SAMS AU that puts our beloved celestial family into a lot more problems. Our main enemy.. or enemies are .. “The Bots”. Having to deal with keeping their eye out anywhere they go, and try to find a cure. The Bots are robotic Spiders that tear anything or anyone they see.

There are two types of viruses: The Digital and the Human. For each type of infection, the infected person or animatronic will have at least 1 hour before being fully infected. Once fully infected, they will act savage, enraged, and violent like no other. They won’t be able to communicate or act like themselves at all.

|| Our main characters are of course, the celestial family, but in this AU we have a few animators featured as main cast members. (Trust me itll align into the storyline) Some may backstab, some may fall into insanity. There will be 8 villains as the story moves along.

Comic Information:

The comic will include the following: An OST, multiple issues/episodes (they’ll be posted here and on youtube), extra little bits (like funny small comics and such) , some characters who have died in the shows will be alive in the comic. (Ex. Killcode is dead in the show right? He’ll be alive in TDC) Andd, there will be no voice acting (would be cool if it was tho😔) There is a trailer located on my Youtube channel as well for the AU! 🫶

This AU is more on the darker side of things. When I say Im going to make you sob with this comic, I mean it. I am not holding back with the angst. You’re favorite characters are probably going to die. …..☺️🫶teehee

[dyemelikeasunset]

Hope this is not too silly of a question, but I've been binging Disney Park videos the past handful of days (yes, I am embarrassingly a lifelong Disney Park fan, while also being deeply critical of the company) and I dunno, it got me thinking about what a Disney Date in the Park look like for Dom and Mor. 😅

I feel like Morgan would be a fan of the parks and be really excited about going and geeking out over everything (Morgan absolutely is Disney Princess vibes in my mind) and maybe getting a little overstimulated, while I picture Dom being utterly confused, taking certain things too seriously, but discovering something she genuinely loves and getting consumed in it. And ending the night watching the fireworks show, holding hands, and snuggling up next to each other and being adorably sapphic.

THIS IS THE CUTEST QUESTION PLEASEEE 🥹🥹🥹

in fact it was so cute you got me rambling, so under a read more it goes lmao. I basically wrote a blurb (it gets a little emotional at points cause that's who i am)

So Mor does like a couple of the Disney princesses (she really likes the background art of Sleeping Beauty and likes the movie if you watch it with the lens that "Aurora isn't the main character and neither is the prince, the three fairies are!! It's actually a heroes' journey about the three of them and that's so interesting yknow? What other movie stars three old ladies fighting a dragon???" but Aurora isn't necessarily her fav princess "I mean she just sleeps. the memes about her are funny though." Not technically a princess, but she loves Lilo a lot)

But no, she doesn't go to the parks often because of overstimulation. It's actually Dom's idea cause "Ah couples go to disneyland. That means we should go too? I should ask Morgan if she wants to go." And Mor is surprised, "I haven't been since I was 12? do you want to go???" and promptly discovers Domi has never been to a single Disney park ever in her life, so Morgan makes it her business to give Dom an enriching experience

They spend the next few months doing research between work and life-- on the best places to stay and how to optimize costs-- and it's really business-like and practical. Halfway through the process Domi's like "Is. Is this romantic? We're being so dry" but Mor insists "No it's important to be prepared!! For everything!!"

Anyway, cut to them finally going, it's probably exciting but also a little nerve-wracking. They chose the LA park. Mor did her hair up in buns to match Mickey cause teehee, cute. Dom wears a facemask cause she doesn't want to get recognized. Dom probably wants to take a lot of pictures bc. lol. couples do that?? right??? also Morgan is beautiful and she wants to remember it.

"We should do the hand holding trend"

"N-no Domi I'm too embarrassed"

"NO LET'S DO IT"

They do the hand holding trend. Mor makes it her pfp later.

Mor is constantly trying to sneak in couple selfies and it becomes a personal game to catch Dom looking candid in cute situations (spoiler, Dom's candid is still like a model. High fashion girlfriend + Donald Duck. Mor can't stop laughing)

They start having fun. They're both grumpy at the price of park food and agree not to do many of the rides because "that's an unreasonable amount of people." They try small world and are a little uncomfortable at the dolls, but being together in a little boat on the water is nice-- they end up staring at each other more than the ride and decide to check in. Dom has to lean in close so Mor can hear her over her sound-supressing earbuds. Morgan takes the chance to kiss her and Dom completely forgets what she was saying

After lunch, Mor surprises Dom with Mickey Ears because she HAS to see it. It's as adorable and hilarious as she thought it would be, and when Domi laughs, Mor finds herself thinking about how lonely Dom was as a kid and wonders if she's helping her heal her inner child, bc Dom has helped Mor heal hers. Dom wears it for the rest of the trip and every time she smiles at her, Morgan wants to laugh and cry at the same time.

They surrender and buy $5 churros to eat as they ride the ferry and realize halfway through they keep getting on the boats. Mor is shy but eventually caves and takes a picture with Tiana.

They visit the Disney Gallery to learn about some of the history. Mor already knows a lot of it and ends up filling in some of the gaps to Domi. The awkwardness has completely melted away at this point and Domi is trying to find an artbook or poster she thinks Mor would like. She sees Mor looking at mugs and wonders if she's happy, wonders if she's stopped thinking about all her exes, wonders how anyone could hurt someone has kind as Morgan.

They decide to find a spot for the parade early and talk as the sun sets. The parade starts and Dom holds Mor close so the crowd doesn't make her anxious. She finds herself watching Morgan more than the parade.

As the fireworks start, Dom tells her about a memory of when she was 19. She was staying in Tokyo for a job and watched fireworks alone in her hotel room and wondered if she had made the right career choice. Mor watches the lights dance on Dom's profile and can barely get a whisper out, so she squeezes her hand instead. Dom smiles at her so warmly that Morgan almost feels whiplash

Mor lays her head on Domi's shoulder in the hotel bed and can't get the story out of her mind. Dom's soft breathing doesn't lull her to sleep like it usually does. They were too tired to make love but she desperately wants Dom to know how much she means to her. She settles for crying into her neck quietly and it's a strange mix of exhaustion and sadness and relief and joy. Morgan makes a silent promise to never let Dom be alone again

When they're packing for home in the morning, Dom wonders out loud if they'll come again. Mor asks if Dom had fun, and she smiles so wide that it washes away all the lingering melancholy. Mor promises she'll take Dom whereever she wants to go, whenever she wants to

Ok so I was able to do like 3 of the prompts—I’m probably not going to finish the rest until tomorrow so that’s rough.

BUT ANYWAYS

Top Left is Monday prompt (Saints or Ghosts) and I said lmao why not both but make it angsty—specifically ran Where Can I Run (reprise) in my head over and over again too think of this one. I always thought the eye imagery thought the musical was sick so like why not make it the ghosts and saints. It was super fun messing with brushes for the Quincy’s wing tho—Vincent calling Quincy angel lives in my head rent free :’)

Top Right is Thursday prompt (Self-made or socially constructed) and I chose Ambrose bc it was between him and Beatrix and I already had Beatrix for another piece and besides I wanted to draw the golden boy mwahahaha. Anyway, the scene where Vincent describes how Ambrose makes art with perfect precision and how Vincent makes art in a more messy way also lives in my head rent free and I thought it would be cool if I didn’t make something super concise with my lineart, with a painted vibe for color, and only gold (bc golden boy)—oh and then the blood showed up and honestly it all just checks out.

Bottom is Sunday prompt (pre-freshman year or post graduation) and how could I not do post grad when the Other Side of failure lives in my head rent free :’) I’m not really happy with it that much—I’ll probably finish it later but I do like the textures/colors that I pulled and am super happy with the overall design.

Hopefully I’ll get the Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday prompts up before the end of fan week but idk if I have the time to do the Wednesday one lmao—but even if its late Imma still post it bc I already have drafts of them all done and I need to draw more Beatrix bc they’re just so neat teehee

I'm lazyy

I don't know why I put off coloring in my art omg. I finally did it though. I finally finished some fanart for another au becuase I really enjoyed the idea of it. Its called fallen prince or something? Its made by @aalas-f-wings and I wanted to draw them this :)

Teehee I don't draw comics so like I never put backgrounds but I felt like it this time. I really hope you like it :) I also made a doodle of him making a snow marcy

I don't know but I finished yay. Might make simpler art after this. This comic was inspired by the little description in the post that talks about the au

anyway go check out the creator for thus au :) @aalas-f-wings

[mommalosthermind]

The problem with my dash randomly being infected with things I don’t know is sometimes those things follow me into sleep and I wake up deeply bewildered because I just lived out an entirely too involved story for characters I have very little context for. Which is to say someone flooded my dash with appleradio (radioapple? I’ve seen both I don’t know which one is predominantly used) art and whoever it was, this is your fault.

Anyway, apparently Alastair (alastor?) played a long con something something about getting close to Lucifer for reasons I don’t actually know but Lucifer thought it was genuine past a point and got really like Committed and. I don’t know, some kind of fight, Lucifer’s all teehee I get to tell him about The Baby and Alastor’s like TeeHee I Win and You Are An Idiot. Uhhh. Also Lucifer’s reaction to the Reveal was like. Cool. Cool cool cool take care of Charlie I’m going to go kill myself by like, getting into a fight with god or something. Woke up with the image of the long skinny deer idiot gently cradling a visibly pregnant tiny exhausted man in white and gold while apologizing stuck to my eyelids.

Is any of that in character? Literally no idea. Probably not, because fanart is probably not the best place to get a feel for characterization. I don’t even know the plot of this damn show post the eldest kid being like ‘Adam is killing people in hell’ which does not explain why it’s also apparently a musical or what that has to do with deer man or why the depressed king of hell’s kid is running a hotel.

What it is, tho, is deeply weird and very very funny. I know the bible about as well as I do hazbin, why am I writing what is essentially bible fanfic in my sleep.

…I’m gonna go check the tag now though, so good job on your not so subliminal messaging.

Is this what happens when I’m too tired to write. Is this punishment for ignoring my wips. Lucifer himself strolled over and was like you didn’t come up with any useful words so I’m giving you some cursed words for shits and giggles.

[meirimerens]

Me: mm yea, Peter is a funky lil guy. I relate to him a little too much, but I like him a normal amount.

Me after seeing Tumblr user crybabimeiri's Peter art: I must write.. I must.

CEO of peterstakh you have inspired me to start a multichapter character analysis of the boy and I'm ajdhfhashdjsns

I will admit I'm pretty sure my Peter is a little different than yours but I figured I wanted you to see it anyways-- I found your writing techniques super cool and took a crack at something similar to see if I could get out of my own writing funk and it honestly worked!

But.. yea.. my brain be going crazy over this wet cat of a guy now

TEEHEE GIGGLE... I'M HONORED.... MY POWER IS GROWING... EXPONENTIALLY...

i haven't read fic in like 2 yrs at this point and i have a backlog of recommendations to go through & i have quite a lot of. other stuff to do rn than read fic (including. writing it) so in the list you go... i'll check up on you... GOOD LUCK SOLDIER. writing is so easy and hardest thing you ever have to do.

[zipmode]

i know teams cant be picked yet but i mean... cmon we all know where im gonna end up. anyways check out my art fight TEEHEE >:]

[fearowkenya]

it's the time of year where I feel very like...boxed in??? okay hold on

so like everyone else who has adhd mine has its own exclusive flavor and weirdness that manifests itself in its own Cute And Quirky Teehee ways that arent universal to everyone w adhd. mine specifically makes it so that the amount of energy / willpower i have to put effort into literally anything is directly proportionate to how much light there is outside. it doesnt have to be SUNNY , just naturally bright.

anyway as you may or may not know im up in canada where it is currently 4:41PM and is nearly dark, and will continue to get darker earlier and earlier until like three quarters through december. so already , not great for me and my fuckign plant-life-wannabe of a brain .

to compound this, i also slow down when it’s cold. that part is normal i think. its not uncommon to want to swaddle yourself in a nest of blankets when temperatures start to drop esp if its like -40 but it DOES make moving around a little more challenging. so like not only do i have to put in the effort to like, do each step of whatever task or activity i am attempting to do, but i also have to pry myself out of Soft Warm Bed which becomes an additional step in making aforementioned whatever the fuck happen. and if u are at all familiar w adhd you know that when the step count gets too high your odds of doing anything other than staring at a wall get slimmer and slimmer unless youve got a damn good workaround for your own brand of brain nonsense

im also one of those ppl who constantly has cold hands , so stuff that requires fine motor skills like art can be tough to start working on when my fingers have the mobility of two fistfuls of freezies.

ive gotten fairly good at finding ways to do things that accommodate my adhd but once winter hits thats when i get boxed in. it’s dark out early, so getting anything done after sunset is like wading thru sludge. then the sludge fucking freezes solid because its cold out, and even if by some miracle im able to like idk draw, my hands feel stiff bc of the cold and makes everything harder. so its like this uphill battle to do fucking Anything when im a sludgecicle. its way easier to do Nothing instead of trying to fight my way out, like the amount of effort it takes is SO frustrating.

‘hey idiot have you tried turning the heater on’ yeah dude i know but i still gotta get outta bed and wait for my fingers to not feel like a bunch of frozen baby carrots before anything gets done, and jsut the thought of that when im nice n warm in blankets is an enormous deterrent and it fucking sucks!!

im super fed up w that happening to me every damn winter so i guess i’ll start to work on throwing together some kinda coping mechanism and hope smth sticks.

since i moved my furniture a while back, my heater is right next to my desk so at least i’ll warm up faster when it starts to be like minus a billion degrees. i have no fucking clue what i am going to do about the uhh (checks notes) reliance that my brain has on the literal actual sun. i have one of those sun lamps that i suppose i can try to use more often?? idk if thats going to trick my brain into thinking it’s actually bright outside so stay tuned i guess. or dont im not your dad

[starrierknight]

I dread the day I forget to click the little "Ask anonymously" box. If that ever happens then please don't answer the ask I wanna be an anonymous little Star- Ahem. Anyway.

The art I meant is uhhh. Guys. I dunno I just like art of guys they look so good. And the reason I checked out your blog was actually the synesthesia thing! I remember years ago I was low-key obsessed with it for a while after reading a book that mentioned it (I can tell you about some related stuff from back then if you want those rambles? It's nothing too interesting but y'know)

Also since you add like. The perfect amount of line breaks I wouldn't mind any lectures or tangents or rambles y'know? Line yes give me a lecture about human experiments. I am interested. I could get invested. I wouldn't mind at all as long as you don't. Keep telling me about things that interest you so I can listen to an online stranger going by Reece, like how I am an online stranger going by Star, and you listen to me- what was I saying again?

Anyway uhh if you wanna hear more about that stuff I mentioned (or really anything I mention) let me know, especially since I'm finally at my pc now so I can type way faster and better

...Also I just reread your likes and uh. Bunnies, huh? Go on? (I love bunnies so stupidly much sagbkvhjab please show me some favorites if you can I will beg if you want--)

Okay byeee

- Star 💫

ofc ofc dw!!! I will simply pretend I do not see it. I'm not here to expose my darling anons :3

art of guys??? 😭😭 LMAO sick well. well well well. I will try to rb more art, I've been off my game abt rbing it recently. I should fix that smh.... gotta support the artists on here

oh really??? that's so cool!! I can't believe my silly little ask game encouraged you to say hi. I'm pretty grateful for it actually lololol. and wow. you read a book on it??? can you tell me about it, if you're up for it? I'd love to learn more (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

HAHAHAHA LMAO GOOD TO KNOW GOOD TO KNOW!!! teehee, very pleased that I've lured you in w my synesthesia and my line breaks. I consider this an epic win 😎 and I will totally be rambling (with ample line breaks ofc!) for you, my Star!!!! I love it so much, I could yipyap for days abt my silly little interests LMAO

and damnnnn look at you go! speed race typing, I see you!!!!!! mwah. your dedication to the cause is impressive and endearing.

OFLKGLSJDJF BUNNIES!!!! OMG OKAY SO SO SO THEY'VE BEEN MY FAV ANIMAL SINCE I WAS A TODDLER!!!!!!

they mean so much to me yk??? like yk how some ppl have animals they feel drawn/connected to??? that's me with bunnies. always have done.

fun fact! once when I was about 4 I was chatting to one of my mother's friends about bunnies and I described my dream bunny in so much detail and how I'd look after it that she thought I actually had it as a pet 😭🩷

I also have some Miffy stuff!!! I love Miffy so much, she's so cute. I have a couple of jellycat bunny plushies as well as a HUGE white rabbit plush on my bed. so comfy and squishy kfldlskfkfd

I also wanna get a little Peter Rabbit tattooed on my ankle one day!!! I really do love them. all bunnies are good bunnies, but I have such a soft spot for long haired bunnies and for lop eared ones :(

Hello friends! This is probably one of if not the last updates before I leave! For those of you I know irl who I did not tell that today was my last day of this year, do not fret. It is not because I hate you, though I may- a lot of you stress me out. It's simply because I can't stand the emotions of it and the tears would ruin my Bowie-esque makeup I've put on.

Super fun (/s) news! Turns out I'm super manic teehee!!! I won't go into details (though I did on tiktok) but currently I am massively manic so if I seem like I'm in a great mood, don't think anything of it. I'll be back to regularly scheduled moods by the time I have internet again.

I had a really nice day today and I even ate lunch! I managed to not cry at all, though the air is currently horrid so my eyes watered anyway. The world is on fire but at least I have P!NK, Lady Gaga, Shinedown, my 80s movies, Janelle Monae, and every single alt rock band ever! I even brought in Mr Snuffles for my friend to meet!

In more serious news, my dog that I've had through the worst times and adopted when I was 9, is dying. This has not been explicitly confirmed by a veterinary professional, but when you've become as entwined with someone as we are, you can tell. He's very old, likely around 18, and he's been dying for the past 3 years. But recently I've noticed a very quick decline in his physical health and behavior. He smells like he's already rotting and he can't step off of a ledge or get up easily anymore. While I'm gone, we're going to have a vet we know (who is practically an aunt to me) check him out and see what the most humane thing to do is. I just pray that if it comes down to it, they'll wait until I can be with him when he's put down. We saved each other. I found him at a rough point in my life, and we had both been dealing with severe trauma from our pasts. When we got him, there was a completely benign tumour on his side that weighed 7 pounds. But I took care of him, nursed him back to health after surgery, and gave him my heart. He's a beagle with a horrifying backstory and trust issues. First week I had him, he bit me. But since then we've become so close that I'm the only one he trusts. He's my precious baby boy and it saddens me to think of life without him. He's not perfect by any means. He's rude, he was never able to be housetrained due to his issues, and he freaks out constantly. But he's mine and I understand that it's all from his past. He has only ever bitten me that one time, and since then I've found him every time he's gotten out, pulled food from his mouth (he's very food anxious), and picked him up when he's getting too ballsy. And he has never harmed me since. I love him dearly and a part of him will always be with me. Like I said, he isn't gone yet, and I will cherish the last bit of time I have with him. But I am not blind to the realities of this situation. I may or may not update here when he does pass. Please give me time to process my grief when this happens, as he was all I had for a long time. I struggle to find the words to express what he means to me, and every time I try to speak them out loud, I can barely choke out a word before the tears fight to the top. I was completely alone in the world, and he came into my life at just the right time. We've grown together, from a 12 year old unwanted dog and a socially awkward kid to an old, loving one and his adoring teenaged companion. Zigadenus Houdini Simmons, you will always hold a soft place in my heart, and I hope whatever is waiting for you on the other side is everything you dreamed of and more.

Anyway, enough of that. I bought a literary magazine at my school, and honestly I'm impressed! Some of the works are admittedly subpar, but I would say the majority are above the caliber one would expect from highschool students! The art inside was also quite lovely.

I got a haircut, life is great, and I'm mega sexy. Peace out girl scouts.

YES OMG THE POISONED DREAMS SERIES (from what ive read so far) IS SO SCRUMPTIOUS - the print copies have art in them and im just so obsessed teehee . summers fic and MA over the past few months have been the things i looked forward to in the then - futures . cova is srsly taking all of our hearts hostage w that blessed fic LOL its also real fun that the reader in fic has a hydro vision (this doesnt count as spoilers right ?) because ive always personally envisioned (haha) myself with one too . cova also has other works w alhaitham in it that are like kinda sorta connected to summers fic , my favorite being this one , i love the fic description LMAO

dude ive done so much random bullshit because i used to have SO MUCH extra free time on my hands ??? and , honestly dude ive really been wanting to get back into writing on a regular basis but i have such terrible commitment issues with my personal projects its insane . also if you dont mind could you share some of your a/n that you find particularly silly ? i honestly live for memey authors notes

ive also taken that quiz ! multiple times actually (and many others) LMFAO , it was a different answer every time but its mainly a tie between ei and albedo . which is . heavily ironic . because all my close friends call me a scara kinnie which is like . ah yes another artificial human and then throw a creator of one at me like ??????? atp ive just come to embrace that i might be a little artificially flavored in the brain (/hj) . ive also been called a cyno kinnie sometimes because of the terrible puns i make (they laugh anyways though so i mean ..) anyways yeah so if you wanna assign me a genshin character too feel free to i guess , its honestly fun for me to see people assign me a genshin character they think im similar to .

heres …. a spoon i accidentally drew while trying to draw a fish

i've only read the summers fic until chap 4 (currently reading chapter 5) and it's so good. the mc and alhaitham's dynamic is so funny HAHA i keep laughing every time they have their stupid banters especially in the middle of fighting/interrogating people.

mc having a hydro vision is actually so nice too!! in chapter 4 at the part where they were sitting by the water and mc was playing around with the water by morphing them into dolphins and such was a nice addition to them. having a hydro vision sounds so fun and honestly i kinda want it too now LMAO

i'll also be sure to check out the other fic you've linked! cova's work with the summers fic is truly good and they're hella good at writing, so i'm not gonna miss the chance to not read their other works 🥹

and wow!!! i think you'll do a great job at writing again, and if you ever decide to get back to it, i would drop everything to read your work. no really, you're good at drawing, you make poems, you like solving out stuff, you make your own games— what can't you do???? you have such amazing skills and talents, i'd drop on my knees to see more of your work 😵‍💫

i won't deny that writing is such a big commitment and it takes such a huge effort to get back on your feet, and that's okay!! i think it's really neat that you have your own personal projects, i would say that's a total win!!!! hehe

google docs has this section where it lets you add comments in the words you've highlighted and i took every opportunity to make the silliest ones in some lines i've written for ma (would we consider this as proper annotations? i don't think i would...), here are some of them

i like adding my own author comments in my google docs because personally— it feels like a wattpad comment section, except that it's only visible to you, y'know? pretty silly, exactly, but i like annotating my own work for some reason... i think i'm just hella weird

i kinda see how you'd be an albedo kinnie, actually. well, one, you're pretty artistic, but also, i have a feeling you're kind of a quiet and reserved person irl. i hope i'm not wrong because then i'd be a total fool HAHAHA but anyways... hm... cyno kinnie... you know i can't disagree to that when you've already slipped in a pun on your first paragraph 😔 ngl i giggled when i first read it so... another win for you?

thank you for the spoon jellyfish haha it's so silly that it made my day 😭
