#chapter 11 stuff

[bamsara]

I had to doodle these out of my system before I could continue writing chap 12 of TROD so take em

They removed Akita from full canon because they knew her power over me would otherwise just be far too strong. Closeups:

Anyways I guess this is like.. a redesign? mostly in order to better fit with what I’ve got going on with Fritz’ design. Aka I removed the animal heads because they’re bothersome (and confuse me), instead combining it with their hair.

Whether I’ve succeeded or not is up for debate.

New uh. New jambound chapter today.. how we feelin yall?

[project-sekai-facts]

objectively, which prsk even do you think is the best written, and which one is the worst written?

calling one of the events objectively the best is difficult, because my personal biases will affect my answer and also because there isn't really such a thing as "objectively the best". answering for events that aren't good is a lot easier, so some examples off the top of my head would have to be sekai happy new year (filler but not in a good way), detective tenma (asspull because they needed to pad for time), on your feet (messy because they were rushing), and light up the fire (huge pacing issues but the story itself is fine).

reading the disabled tirant's beloved pet fish. laugh-sobbing into my hands. everyone please read this book it is the only thing that matters

i think my favorite thing about being properly medicated (adhd + depression) for once in my life, besides no longer feeling like Everything Is On Fucking Fire Forever with college stuff, is how much writing I've been able to do. And not just do, but do well; I can really see how much I've been improving recently. I always swore that I wouldn't post a multi-chapter fic unless I had already finished it, both because I'm unreliable about finishing projects, and also because I need the freedom to go back and edit in a non-linear fashion. But it looks like I might actually manage to finish the long fic I'm currently working on - I've already gotten farther than any other project I can remember - and I feel like it's turning out to be something genuinely very special.

[chaoticas-hell]

I like making people cry ngl

[anemosandwich]

I am going have ch 28 done before any other chapter in this fic, aren't I? I already have it almost finished it's WILD.

Update on the really old GT book I've been reading,

For some reason, it keeps implying that a tiny being in a giants hands is "silly" and "babyish" and "humiliating" and I don't know if I should be offended or feel called out.

Sonya! (Imagine, for a moment, that Tumblr Staff actually fixed the bug that means I have to screenshot and tag you @sonyawix for replies.) I missed you!

Jasper's just there realising that a couple of decades of training and practice with the Cullens was no match for a tiny teenage girl who looks at him like he's the second coming. She did more for his self-esteem in one night than anyone has done for him since he was human.

Jasper's softer in STL and his trauma has already been sorted, organised, and filed in his mental storage unit so he just has to simp over worry about Mary-Alice. Mary-Alice has the trauma conga-line but it gets pretty soft for both of them starting next chapter.

But it's why Jasper chapters are usually easier to write.

And listen, we all switch hyperfixations. I read a whole bunch of MCU fics that had Correct Vibes but Incorrect Takes, and beautililies had to stop me from writing MCU fic before I worked on Jalice fics. Also the idea I am carrying 70% of your Jalice experience is fucking wild. What do you want? I feel like I need to give you something because 2024 was not my most active year ever.

My little Mabel has recovered from the infections she had well, but decided to keep things interesting and acquired an ear infection which has since been upgraded to a double ear infection because what's more fun than a lot of credit card debt? Even more credit card debt! She is why I can only stare longing at Coach bags and not own fun stuff like that.

And honestly, I join you in solidarity that my sister and father are also Shitty Fucking People. Sometimes, people are rancid, and we just need to salute their bullshit and carry on our merry way.

It is law that if you bring up Anathema, I post something. I picked this scene WIP because Alice being a dramatic teenage girl is somehow so funny in my head? I can't wait to get to a scene where she's dramatic in front of Jasper and he's just "...you're adorable, you know that right?" And she's like, "absolutely not."

But for now, Alice makes a small scene.

“This is to never get back to the Clearwaters,” I could hear Freddie saying to Charlie Swan in a low voice. “Any of them. I trust you, Charlie.”

Charlie sighed. “Fred, I’ve known you a long time, and I don’t like this at all. What is so important you have to meet with them alone, without Sue and Billy knowing?"

Silence, and I was tempted to creep up the hallway to be able to hear better.

“… This is about Alice and her well-being. If… I have reason to believe that if Sue, Harry, and Billy knew more about Alice’s … health and genetic make-up, they would be deeply unhappy."

That was most likely an understatement. I had a feeling that if Sue found out that I was biologically half-vampire, I would be persona-non-grata in the Clearwater household. There was a fifty-percent chance that Harry would hunt me for sport, honestly. His aim with a shotgun was second-to-none.

Dr Cullen had brought his wife, and there was something almost funny seeing them in our home - they were both dressed in very stiff, fancy clothing, standing in the entrance looking awkward. I was in the kitchen finishing the washing up in pyjama bottoms and a t-shirt; both Freddie and Charlie were still wearing work clothing.

The apartment was still mostly in the late 60s style from when it was built. Lots of brown and yellow. Freddie always intended to renovate, but we never seemed to get around to it - moving all the books would take us days, and we’d have to stay downstairs. It was cozy up here, and if we made any changes, it would be to clean out the third floor.

“Hello Alice.” Mrs Cullen smiled so warmly at me, but I felt oddly shy, offering a little wave as I put plates back into the cupboard.

“Turn on the coffee maker, love, before you go,” Freddie said, and I got the message that this wasn’t going to be a meeting I was included in. I wasn’t upset about that; somehow Dr and Mrs Cullen were far and away more intimidating than Jasper was. Somehow the golden eyes and the pale skin that looked so right on him made me nervous around them.

Thankfully, Dulcie was having dinner with her brother’s family tonight. It meant we could have this meeting at home and she’d probably bring home left-over dessert. Hopefully that really good blueberry donut thing that Mrs Stanley usually made for Dulcie’s birthday.

It also meant that whilst I had been told I wouldn’t be joining in on the meeting today, there was no one in the house that would check to make sure I was wearing headphones and watching movies on my laptop instead of eavesdropping for all I was worth. And in my defence, I had to know what Freddie was telling everyone so I didn’t mess up the story later on. It was just planning ahead.

“He can read minds?” I shrieked, giving myself away instantly.

Charlie Swan swore, sloshing his coffee in surprise, as the rest of them spun around to look at me in the hallway.

“Alice,” Freddie groaned but I didn’t care that I would be doing extra cleaning this week or whatever as punishment.

A girl’s mind is private. There are things happening up there that die with me, okay?

Things like me contemplating the logistics of having sex on a gurney now that I’d met Jasper and realised he was a foot and a half taller than me, and probably 100lb heavier.

Or the fact that whilst my visions hadn’t been instructional, so to speak, they had given me a certain amount of reference material to reflect on. I might never have been a Girl Scout, but I do like to be prepared.

And the idea that one of the Cullens could mind-read and had probably told the entire family that a good fifty-percent of my brain power was solely dedicated to what I had seen of Jasper’s body in my vision at any time was… not ideal. Not at all how I planned to integrate myself into their lives. I was aiming for lovable future daughter-in-law, not mouth-breathing creeper.

“Edward considers the contents of everyone’s mind private, unless harm would result in keeping it secret,” Mrs Cullen quickly reassured me. Please. I had seen Leah and Seth together; I knew what siblings were like. There was no way in hell that Jasper hadn't been informed that I had absolutely noticed he was ripped when he helped me up.

“I’m taking a lot of emotional damage learning this,” I said slightly hysterically. “Can he hear everything?”

“Only when he’s present.” Was Dr Cullen laughing at me? He looked amused.

“Alice,” Freddie sounded tired. “There are brownies in the downstairs freezer if you want some dessert.”

Huh. It was bad if Freddie was bribing me with the catering supplies.

“That would help,” I said, trying to walk through the kitchen to get a knife with some kind of dignity. “You understand why I would be uncomfortable with a teenage boy reading my mind, right?”

“I think we’re all on the same page about that,” Charlie said. He didn’t look amused.

"Alice, I really don't think there's anything in your head that Edward Cullen would worry about," Freddie said, obviously trying to sound comforting and mostly made me want to slam my head against a wall.

"I've had unmonitored access to the internet since I was eleven and no boyfriend! Or girlfriend! There's plenty up there I don't want Jasper's brother knowing!" I snatched up the cake knife and looked over to see Freddie looking like he needed a drink, Charlie Swan looking the most uncomfortable I had ever seen him - and that included the ass-injury incident - and Mrs Cullen trying very unsuccessfully not to laugh at me.

"And now I've made it worse. I'm calling Cynthia!"

It's not the fact that my father was a vampire that makes me a freak. I manage to do that all by myself.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP !!!!!

OHH DOUBLES TONIGHT LADS!

Because we are in the colder half of the year these are the seasons that get the outfit studies, and I REALLY like em!

Autumn was surprisingly hard to find outfits for? Something that's not too over the top

And I found this great artist on insta that does a lot of good clothing illustrations/concepts which did help me out!

Her 5th outfit has a necklace with her sister's colors in the leaves and that was improvised right off the cuff

My favorite one of Autumns is between the Seasons Best (6th) and the leaf collar (9th) LOVE my foliage brushes, always get so much milage out of them

I did take quite a long break between Winter's batches so there might be a bit of an effort discrepancy, but Winter's wardrobe is always fun to play with.

(Also get SO MUCH MILAGE out of my Frost brush pack, literally life saver)

Her 8th outfit is definitely a lot more Snow Queen than I thought it would've turned out, but dearly noted for if I ever draw Bianca again lol

But I think oddly enough my favorite of hers is the 3rd one! It's not my design, it's an actual garment set and it's just too winter coded, its literally taken from her closet feels canon so its my fave of hers

And let me know if you guys want me to put just the reference images I used with these. There's so many and sometimes i end up stitching some together
