been feeling very nostalgic over my old gravity falls art so!! a lil redraw!! you can really tell about how my feelings toward bill have evolved over the years <3

[image description: a drawing of a gravity falls original character named hodge podge with a human design for bill cipher. hodge is fat, pale-skinned trans man with curly yellow and blue hair dressed in full blue and white jester attire, and bill is depicted as a thin, pale-skinned androgynous person with a yellow dress and an uncomfortably-wide smile. they have their arms around eachother and are smiling at eachother with barely-disguised malice. next to the drawing is the original version of it from 2015, where bill is a younger looking boy in a suit with messy hair, and hodge is a young girl with shaggy purple hair and a purple suit. end id]

Do you know anything about that Ellipsus writing program? I see them all over tumblr, but frankly between how heavily they marketed on tumblr and their emphasis on being geared towards fanfic (which is by definition not profitable), they honestly sketch me out. What's the catch? I keep waiting for them to either suddenly start charging everyone exorbitant subscription fees with their work held hostage, start stealing/selling people's work in some way, or otherwise try to make quick profits through underhanded means, screwing over writers in the process. Maybe I'm just jaded and overly suspicious, but it seems to good to be true, and the fact that I've ONLY seen good things said about it just adds to that. What are the drawbacks? What's the truth? Is it REALLY a decent program (and how long will that realistically last)?

I wanna be completely honest with you, the name Ellipsus sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't remember anything about it so I checked around a little bit on the web and on various social media... and I don't know.

Personally, I don't use it and I don't think I will (I'm just too lazy to move everything I wrote and start using a new app), but for the moment it seems like it could be a good alternative for writers.

I totally feel your suspicions and I don't think they are unfounded, even if it's actually truly genuinely good now it doesn't mean it will always be. As a matter of fact nothing in this capitalistic world stays good for long, but atm it seems like it could be a good platform.

That said, if your gut tells you to not use it, I would recommend to follow your gut.

If anyone has first-hand experiences about using Ellipsus please feel free to reblog and add your two cents to the discussion because now I'm curious!

I finally got around to emptying out my Google Docs in just another step of un-shittifying my digital writing life. I uploaded my docs to Proton Docs, which has improved so much from the last time I tried it out that it's almost identical to GDocs now. Minus the AI and lack of privacy.

Here's a tutorial if you'd like to do the same.

Moving Your Fics from Google Docs to Proton Docs

You will of course need a Proton account for this. Please note that the instructions below are performed on desktop.

Part One: Getting Your Stuff Off Google

1. Navigate to your Google Drive.

2. Under the big Search bar, you'll see a dropdown menu called Type. Click it and select Documents. This will display all of your documents.

3. Click on one document to highlight it, then hit CTRL + A to Select All.

4. Right click and select Download.

5. Your documents will download into a zip file. Unzip the folder and extract your files to another folder on your computer.

NOTE: Google uses its own file format to handle documents. When you download your documents, they will be Word (.docx) files.

Go through your downloaded documents and make sure they're all there before deleting them from Google. You can delete by selecting all using the method above, right clicking, and hitting Remove.

Part Two: Upload Your Fics to Proton

1. Navigate to your Proton Drive (proton.me/drive). It comes free with your Proton email.

2. On your PC, highlight all the documents that you want to upload and simply drag and drop them into your Proton Drive.

3. You're ready to rock and roll.

NOTE: When you upload your documents to your Proton Drive, they will retain the .docx file type described in the above note. Once you open a .docx file in Proton Docs, a copy will be made of that file. You will see this when you navigate back to your Proton Drive. You may delete the extra .docx file and continue to use the Proton document instead (recommended).

Additional: You can download the Proton Drive app for mobile and enjoy the same cross-device reading and editing capability as Google.

Royal Beasts my take #7

Grian woke up feeling like Princess, Docs pet ender dragon had sat on him. And then the Hivemind had reshuffled his brain.

Prying his crusted shut eyes open and trying to shake the rust out of his limbs, he attempted to orient himself. He was laying on the edge of Cub's Bunny's nest, both his Vex barely visible inside.

His mind was a foggy mess. Thoughts came like extra thick sludge. He had no idea what day it was, let alone what time it was.

Vague memories of Names, of screaming magic and broken laughs drifted just out of reach.

He groaned, forcing his aching stiff limbs to haul him upright.

His magic screeched at him, flaring pain like he had just hit a huge deep bruise hard throughout his whole body. Got it, no magic for him in the near future. He figured it came from magic overuse.

Now somewhat upright, he could see his Vex, so wrapped up in one another that it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began. He gently nudged them awake.

"Time to get up my lovelies. Lets go get whatever meal its time for right now."

---

Scar had been on high alert since being woken up. He clung to Cub, expecting to be separated at any moment, expecting the brief mercy his summoner had granted him to end.

Nothing of the sort happened. Grian behaved as if nothing had happened. He was just as sweet to them, no matter their changed behavior, not caring that Scar would rather be plastered to Cub every moment he could, rather than be draped over Grians shoulders. Cub, who was here, was in his arms, in his magic, in his mind, was safe, was in his arms.

Scar wanted so bad to believe it.

To believe Grian really was his friend.

To believe that this time it would be different. Could be different.

That the nature of what he was wouldn't catch up to him.

He had learned his lesson though, even if it had taken him being minutes away from loosing his person-self to the overwhelming magic pulsing through him, demanding every last scrap he had. He had been reunited with Cub in the nick of time. Cub, who had been right all along, who Scar had almost gotten erased. When they could stand to be apart from each other again, Scar would give Cub everything he needed so he could be the downfall of their summoner, while Scar was the pretty thing, the distraction.

Right now they needed to hold each other more than they needed to be free. They had been clicking at each other almost nonstop, reassurances they were here, were safe. It wasn't enough. How could it be?

Grian was just another summoner in a long line of summoners they were unwittingly bound to and eventually killed off when they go the chance.

Grian was not their friend. Grian would hollow them out, the same way every other summoner had tried.

Scar could not trust Grian. No matter how much he wanted to.

So why did it feel like that thought made his soul cry?

---

Grians Vex were behaving differently. Almost as if they were wary of him. They were good at hiding it. The small flinches when he got too close, walked behind them. They always kept him in their field of view.

Grian didn't know why.

Granted, he did have a small, teensy gap in his memories. Just a few days. There's no way whatever he had done in those few days warranted this much caution. Cat and Cub Bunny stuck together whenever they could.

He had no idea why.

They hadn't even joined him in his nest that night, both Vex opting to sleep on the beds canopy.

Grian had brought them back to their enclosure that night.

The unsettling feeling of wrongness had clung to him like a particularly foul scent, robbing him of restful sleep that night.

Lace wings draped over blood haunted his dreams that night, empty eyes looking up at him from expressionless faces. Shattered emerald scattered over sun-baked sand.

He converted the unused Queens Study into a nest room for them the next day.

---

Grian was curled up on his couch, wrapped in blanket and with a whole tub of chocolate ice cream on his lap, even if the chocolate made his heart race like he'd had one too many espressos. Stupid bird heart.

He'd canceled court (No, not just for today Mumbo! Court is canceled forever!). He would be staying on this couch for the rest of his existence, thank you very much. The changed behavior of his Vex and his upcoming molt were straining his nerves, along with the fact that its been four days and his magic still ached from overuse when he tried to do more than the most basic things with it.

So he didn't care when he heard Doc's voice from the hall leading up to his rooms. Doc sometimes came over to do redstone, or hang out. He could do whatever. Grian wasn't the boss of him.

Grian certainly wasn't curious who Doc was talking to when he didn't recognize the voice. He certainly didn't pull on what little magic he had and open an Eye in the hallway next to Doc.

Where he found-

Was- was that?

his Vex? talking?

To Doc?

With words?

People words?

HOW??

At least Grian assumed they were people words. Do redstone words like compabobabols and flippity floopers and tickers count as people words? Grian didn't know.

How was his Vex, Bunny, Cub, his name was Cub, speaking to Doc about redstone, on Doc level redstone no less? In the entire almost 3 months he's had them, they had never spoken!

Giggled, sure, in their super creepy way. Chittered, with the occasional click when they seemed particularly happy about something.

But mostly they were silent, hovering behind him, or draped over him in Cats case without making a sound.

---

Screeching came from the door to Grians rooms up ahead, interrupting the quite frankly fascinating conversation on update suppression he'd been having with one of Grians Vex.

Cub, as he'd introduced himself when Doc had asked. In private of course, and after he assured them he would keep it to himself.

They were understandably wary. In the research he and the Hivemind had done on Vex after hearing reports of the two, it was rather evident that most summoners did not like it when their Vex had their own opinion, or even thoughts.

Doc may know for a fact that Grian would be delighted to learn they were sapient, but they didn't. Probably wouldn't believe him if he told them either.

He mostly had wanted to ask them if they needed anything. They had been hesitant to respond. Unsure if admitting to any needs would see those turned against them.

So he sat down with them and told them about Princess, his ender dragon. She was like them, a sapient pet, having the mental capabilities of a 6 year old.

He told them about the time she had grabbed him from a meeting with important foreign dignitaries, and absconded to her favorite perch on top of the Perimeter Flagpole with him. His husband Ren had been laughing so hard he could barely breath. It had taken over two hours of trying to bribe Princess with treats to let him down.

After that he made her a flying machine she could chase around the Perimeter airspace, with a treat for when she caught it. It came out whenever they held important meetings outdoors now.

He'd repeated his question then. If there was anything they needed. If Grian had done anything he needed to be smacked upside the head, or maybe thrown off a cliff for. He'd done that before, the pesky bird had unfortunately enjoyed it.

The look they gave each other at his second question had him sighing, pinching the bridge of his nose, and asking just what that idiot had done.

They still hadn't given him an answer.

Cub, as he'd introduced himself then, had asked about his redstone. Where to get some for himself. What kinds of redstone projects he did in the Perimeter.

Doc was more than happy to explain.

Which is what brought them here, in front of the pesky birds door, which had just burst open to reveal a disheveled Grian, in his favorite red jumper that he only allowed himself to wear when he felt like shit.

"Wh- Ho- Wha- HOW?" he stammered, gaping like a fish and pointing at Cub.

"I'm more than happy, to explain the basics of update suppression to you, but I think you may need just a little more knowledge on the basics of redstone first. Just a little more." Cubs heart rate had just spiked hard on Docs scans.

Speaking of heart rates, Grians was through the roof. Given that the brown smudges on his mouth came back as chocolate laced dairy, that was no surprise. Chocolate ice cream, if Doc had to guess.

"Grian, have you been eating chocolate? You know it makes you tachycardic." Doc shook his head in disapproval. At least chocolate jut gave Ren tummy cramps if he ate it.

"Forget the chocolate, HOW ARE YOU TALKING? How are you PEOPLE?!" The pesky bird showed no concern for his own health. Typical.

"Did you not know Vex are sapient Grian?" Doc asked. "That's very irresponsible of you, keeping pets without knowing their needs. What if you fed them something poisonous to them? Or mishandled their bond? They will die without those bonds you know. They need them and the magic they give to live. And of course they're people, what a silly thing to say. They look and behave like people, don't they?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KNEW THEY WERE PEOPLE ALL ALONG AND DIDN'T TELL ME, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW" Grian really needed to take it easy, Doc thought looking at his scans. All this could not be good for Grians already overworked heart. At least he wasn't plucking feathers yet.

"Well, did you ask them?" Never mind, the bird was reaching for the feathers of his aural wings. And screeching at unholy volumes. Then looks up.

"Wait, back up, they need the bonds to wHAT-"

Why all those posts about Fresh? Never have seen you talk about him before...

A person who thinks all the time. Has nothing to think about. Except thoughts..and he begins to lose touch with reality.
