#but ngl i'm very proud of how the yellow one came out

[fakeoutbf]

hiiiii ✨

okay before i start, i love how i literally just found you and we already share braincells because i was reading through your answer and i had the same feelings about niall's tour and was literally just about to ask you what your favourite niall and zayn songs were 🙈 okay my favourite niall song is paper houses, but still and everywhere are a close second 🫶 also special mention to this town, you'll always be my beloved. as for zayn, my favourite is tightrope. when nil came out, i listened to that one on repeat for a month straight, my mum and sister went from loving that song to being annoyed by it 🤭 what about you? 👀

see you get it!! i think big cities are fun when you're living with a bunch of people and are studying or something, and just have a bunch of fun and exciting things happening but sometimes, you crave a little bit of quiet which you can never get because there's always something happening. i wouldn't want to immediately settle in scotland, but i think i'm also tired of places that are always busy, so i'm planning to move to an in between place after uni next year. oh i completely agree about the inaccessibility of small towns and how frustrating it can be sometimes. 😔

how was your harry show though, did you have fun? on that note, did you get to see louis too? and, have you seen 1d as well? 👀

i do agree about familial love and i am lucky that my parents and sister are always supportive of me no matter what, and i wouldn't have been here without that 🤍

very interesting choices to go back to!!! since you mentioned being an art nerd (i by no means am, i just go for the aesthetics), what's your favourite painting? who's your favourite artist? i think i'd probably want to go back to the early 1800s, during the victorian era, but also in the same period itself, i'd love to explore some of my own country's culture and traditions because we had loads of kingdoms and such and all of them looked magnificent ✨

today's question, and it's sort of related to one i've already asked, but if love and friendship were colours, what colour would they be? 🤍

hiii 🫶🏻

we share the same braincell what the hell ajnrjfks my favorite niall song is still, hands down. it’s so heartbreaking but such a good way to close the album. and my favorite zayn song is tightrope too JWJRJDKEK ngl if i ever get married i need that song to be in there somehow, it’s one of the softest love songs i’ve heard that was written recently and it makes me ache so bad 🥺

yes, i feel like i’d definitely want to try to live in a busier city at some point in my life, but i feel like you have to have a group of friends to be busy with and you have to be ready for the rush and i’m not there yet ajejfnkswm but i also wouldn’t mind just living somewhere slightly bigger that’s got a little more going on but that i don’t feel like i’m missing too much, you know? and just maybe someone to spend more time with 😪

here’s to wonderful supportive families 💓💓

i really love impressionist paintings, i think it’s my favorite style by far, but idk how i’d pick a favorite painting ajejfjks some of my favorites are the japanese bridge by monet and abandonment by henri toulouse-lautrec that i just love. and favorite artist is probably van gogh, sorry to be basic ajentnsk i’m just really fascinated by the struggle he went through and all his backstory to not even be a paid artist while he was alive but to become such a renowned artist after he passed?? wow. my favorite van gogh painting is probably almond blossom.

the victorian era sounds so interesting! ngl i’ve never actually studied much of it but i’d love to know more. and the kingdoms, culture and traditions sound fascinating! i love when countries have so much history and culture that you just can’t ever learn enough of it, makes me feel even more in touch and proud of it 🫶🏻

friendship is a yellow / golden / orange shade that glows brighter the more you share laughs and love is a soft pink or sage color, whichever brings more calmness / tenderness. what do you think?

sending you lots of love for the rest of the week 💖💞💗💓💕💝🧡

WIP WIP WIP WIP!

Early Concept

Some doodles/mockups

Current progress and some details.

My major plan for the moment is to find my brown markers (seriously, how do those things keep disappearing) and figure out what my background for the teeth/grin is gonna look like.

Ngl, I'm really proud of this one! kinda annoyed that the 1 in 2013 is a little too close to the 0, but I think I did some nice work on the nectars and blood splatters. (More details/breakdown below cut).

Escape From Furnace was one of the first books that I was super-passionate about, even though I wasn't online for the first while. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of stuff I loved and wanted to do bigger deep-dives into, but it was a kinda interesting perspective for me since I'm Jewish and the main villain is, y'know, a fucking Nazi.

It's kind of a weird feeling where on the one hand, watching the fandom was what actually shoved me online and on to Tumblr. Otoh, the obsession w/Warden Cross was kinda creepy to me, and it felt like almost everyone conveniently pushed to the side that he wasn't just a Nazi in the past, but kept up the ideals, modeled a prison on them, and constantly talks about "superior races" and "wiping out the inferior scum" and such.

Seeing the rest of the fandom, especially the headcanon that Zee is Jewish, resonated a lot more, and kept my head on this vague idea of breaking down how much that would change the narrative of the story (consider that Zee is the only person we know for sure is immune to the nectar, add that the version of nectar used in the Furnace is Cross's variation, multiply by how both Cross and nectarized Alex talk about Zee in Death Sentence and Fugitives. There's also the whole 'blondes w/blue eyes who keep responding esp well to the nectar' shtick with Alex and Gary).

So this idea's been rattling around in my head for a while, obviously! I initially wanted to do two triangles with the three circles, superimposing an upside version of the Furnace's logo over itself to create the Star of David, but it looked kind of weird so I might come back to it later. For now, each triangle has it's own mini-scene or element starring. breakdown, top to bottom, left to right:

I initially wanted to draw the dog's face/jaws but it just wouldn't look right no matter what I did. It was switched out for the three different nectar strains we see in canon: The silver syringe full of Cross's blend, the berserker blood with specs of red, and the mostly black that's running through the tubes connecting Alfred Furnace to the machine.

Teeth: I'm honestly not quite sure where I'm going with this in the final draft, but teeth stick out to me throughout the book as one of those details we get to see characters more clearly. Donovan's smile, Kevin missing two front teeth, the berserkers, Bodie's grin, Cross's teeth like crooked tombstones, y'all get my point. But yeah, teeth.

Hands: Donovan's hand (bathed in gold, currently yellow because I don't have any gold markers rn), and Alex's reaching out to Donovan. The big scene, but also all of the smaller ones that came earlier, like in Lockdown.

Prison bars: There's something that sticks in my head about the bars and all of the numbers used, for the inmates and the cells and the three chipping rooms and the blacksuits and how I imagine at some point, you only remember yourself as a number. I'd hope that with his memories back, Alex wouldn't forget his name, but I'd argue that 2013834 (inmate number) still holds better memories than 208 (blacksuit number).

Eye: Another big motif. So many blue eyes, so many silver ones. I've kinda been sticking to only 4 colors for all of these except the panel with the hands, we're doing something with emotions and colors and the way the Furnace saps all hope here. Again, can't quite decide on a background yet.

Gas mask: A rough redraw of the one in Lockdown, the very first book of the series and, again, that little connection of Zee with the idea of him being Jewish and the canon detail that he would have been made into a wheezer if not for Cross.

The center: Their motto is nine words, two phrases. It looks somewhat awkward, but I think it works.

So yeah. I'm planning on finishing the colors and then seeing if I can figure out how to turn this into a patch on fabric or embroidery or something, but this is one of my favorite concepts and I'm glad I can finally bring it to life!

ao3 tag game

1. How many works do you have on ao3? 61 total. 53 under danpuff and 8 under danniperson. (I have other fics on other sites that never made it to AO3. I'm debating whether or not to move them over.)

2. What's your current AO3 wordcount? 387,868. Hopefully will add more soon once I get out of this funk I've been in!

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? Hmm. Technically 3, but I deleted my Stormlight Archive fics (for reasons) so I only have Harry Potter (danpuff) and MCU (danniperson) posted on AO3 currently.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Can we take a moment to laugh that 4/5 are from my Yes, Daddy series? Cuz I'm laughing about it. And #5 being my single Harry Potter longfic LOL.

1.) Daddy Knows Best

2.) Daddy's Boy

3.) [title feels like a tad much for Tumblr, just know it's a Daddy fic]

4.) Who's Your Daddy?

5.) The Best Kept Secrets

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not. I try to! I have some old ones I've been hesitant to get to since it's been such a long time, but I think one day I'll be brave and go answer them. Comments mean the world to me and I want the people who took time to leave me kind words to know how much I appreciate them!

6. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? Hmmm...Maybe The Mirror [Harry Potter, non-con] or come back to me (you're all i've ever wanted) [MCU, Steve/Howard & Stony]. I am rather fond of open endings, so probably several of those might feel pretty angsty there at the end. Exposure is probably a good one that ends at a sad place, but with a hopeful note.

7. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've ever written? No, but I'd like to! I have strong feelings about a Harry Potter & Percy Jackson crossover. (Though if you'd like to read Close Enough as a HP/PJ crossover, feel free!)

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic? Sadly, yes. It let to me purging some of my fics, which I sort of regret now. I've been tempted to purge since then but I always remind myself not to give people's unkind words that sort of power over me and my work. And that my work is valid and worthy of existing and meaningful to some people, even if not everyone cares for it.

9. Do you write smut? Heck yes!

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of, so let's hope not!

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, but it sounds fun!

12. What's your all time favorite ship? SNARRY. I've been shipping them for 18 years (aka most of my life.) In the past year I've opened up to enjoying more rarepairs on the side (Dron, Dremus, Drarius, Chaco....um. Essentially, lots of Draco ships, especially if there's background snarry in the mix!)

13. What was the first fandom you wrote for? Harry Potter

14. What's your favorite fic you've written? That is difficult! I'm pretty proud of the following for various reasons:

> Take Heed, Dear Heart (I gender swapped EVERYONE, which was fun but also pretty eye-opening about the number of prominent male characters.)

> Romantic Notions (Very weird one, ngl. Involves Neville/plants. Yes, Neville/plants. Also unrequited Sneville. Background Snarry. Minor Dreville. It was a good time.) (I was very determined to write Neville/plants without it being a crack!fic. You can let me know how well I succeeded, LOL.)

> Collateral Damage (my Dron fic! It's gotten lots of love which makes me oh so happy! And I'm so so proud of how it came out!)

> The Yellow Door (concept that lived in my head for ages and ages until I figured out how to actually tell the story.)

> Spaghetti (fully living my dream of "other characters reacting to Snarry" and also friend angst.)

Tagging: ...anyone who wants to do it. (Which is essentially why I'm doing it!) I love reading these and hope to see more!
