That was how she always made it through the mystery of what came next.

heartbreaking news: a big name fan author who's also a well-known published author is totally fine with using midjourney for cover art for her fic 😭😭😭
0 notes
Still working my way through old SG1 fanfics, and I’m still quite baffled by an author (who I’m guessing was a Big Name Fan of the time), being recommended again and again, when their stories just don’t seem that great to me! The stories are mainly comedy/ humour, and while Stargate is funny at times, but these fics portray it as a comedy show, which is jarring.
It’s also strange when I see fic authors who I think of as being really talented writers recommend this author, even several years after they have stopped writing.
Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things, but it puzzles me that I’m so out of sync with so many other people. Would I have enjoyed these fics if I had read them as they were being published (early 00s)? Would twenty-something me have enjoyed the light-heartedness but forty-something me is more cynical?
Unlike other authors I’ve found on FF.net, who had moved their stories onto AO3 at some point, this particular author hasn’t. They were on FF.net for a few years, last story (for a different fandom) posted in 2005, and that’s it. So it’s interesting that they seem to be a BNF in the fanfic world but weren’t actually around for that long.
Anyway, it’s late and I’m rambling and focusing on fanfic writers from almost 20 years ago, because it’s a good distraction from all the other tedious parts of adulthood. But I should go to bed.

ACT 2
"You're... me?"
"That's right, stardust!"
You know I've been drawing Loop as their Siffrin form so much that it's got me thinking. I've read and seen so many fics and artworks of Loop eventually getting back to looking like their old self, but I don't think I've seen any so far of Loop already being a mirror copy of Siffrin. So uh, yoink?
ISAT AU where the game plays out the same way (plot-wise at least) but Loop looks like Siffrin the whole time and while Siffrin is extremely perplexed that there's another him, he's still gotta accept their help because how else are they supposed to escape the loops? Good ol' Loop is here to help, helpful friendly Loop!
Siffrin is going through it still but Differently.

WOW this has been ROUGH in the Life Events category of things, but. slowly crawling out of that. hopefully
this was the opening scene for a something I started writing after watching the Manben inverview with Nishi Keiko and thinking back to all the classic shoujo manga I stayed up reading back in the day, like damn that's so true Urasawa Naoki
it's partially a love letter to all the greats of the genre that I read, and also to the late night teleseryses that captivated me over the years lmao. it'd be nice to find the time to tackle it properly as a comic, but I'm having fun working on it recreationally :)
✨but since it's recreational, some character info✨
the first character seen is lawrence 'law' valenciano (late 30s), the one with the glasses is cris volante (mid-later 20s). law works at a karinderya, cris is an extremely broke university student.
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta / tip jar!

Cowboy redesigns from forever ago that I forgot to post ^^
(Design notes and stuff under the cut)
Sundown and Moonhigh are two performer animatronics that have a sort of 'cop and robber' routine where Sun plays the role of a sheriff and Moon the criminal. While they make put on an act of hatred on stage, behind the curtains, the two are inseparable
Moonhigh
Behind Moonhigh's swave and laid back veneer, he's just like any other Moon, a lover of mischief and play
I was also like 100% sure that moonhigh was an actual term??? Its not!!!!! It's from warrior cats
Moonhigh's clothing is desaturated due to sun bleaching and dust, his clothing is not as well taken care of as Sundown's both because of neglect from staff and Moonhigh's general distrust of them. This neglect is also the reason for his damaged faceplate as it was deemed too expensive to completely replace it and the injury enhanced how scary he was as a villain
Moonhigh's cape also doubles as a blanket! He takes good care of it and even washes it himself. It’s also handy for applying pressure to wounds, not that Moonhigh would ever need to use it for that purpose.
Moonhigh's designated flavour is coconut and he's usually seen in the Fazwest's milkshake bar between performances
Sundown
Sundown is a lot sweeter than most Suns though he does have his moments of apathy towards others due to him not quite understanding other's troubles due to his cushy treatment from staff
He shares the same general anxiety and mannerisms as his predecessors, he's always twitching and bouncing around
Sundown was similarly injured at to Moonhigh at some point but his faceplate was fixed, giving him a shiny green eye
Sundown has scarily accurate aim
Sundown's designated flavour is mango and he's usually seen in the horse stables in between performances
