Hiiii! I run the askloucetiosoliver blog and raycatzdraws. I just want to say thank you so much for all the kind comments you’ve left in the tags on my art. It looks like you’ve cued up a whole lot of it! (and have gone through to look at the older stuff too, aaAAA <3 !!!) The comments have really been making my day, so thank you!
Hello! Thank you for sharing with us! Your art is so pretty, and the characters are really loveable. ^^ I can't wait to see more of it!
I'm so glad you're enjoying my rambling about it ^^ you can thank @granny-griffin for it. Because of her really cool original content emporium she's been making on her blog I found your art!
Thank you and have a great day ^^

Original Story Recs: Halloween Edition
From the author of the bnha fic Butterfly comes another very creepy story! Except this one is way shorter and also not a fanfic. One day, people and animals freeze in place, and if you touch them, you freeze in place too. Nobody knows why this is happening or how to stop it.
Another super messed up short story from the author of ABOT. But I actually found this story genuinely sweet! You know. despite all the child abandonment and murder. Anyway if I say anything else I’m gonna end up spoiling it so just read it.
Considerably less of a horror story than the previous two, but it has a werewolf so it’s very festive. Also if I’m remembering the protagonist is an epic middle aged woman who sits there and knits (maybe crochets??) the whole time while she’s talk no jutsu-ing the werewolf. It’s awesome.
Okay listen. I just have to confess. I’m super biased toward this one hdlshd but listen. It’s pretending to be a romance story, but it actually exists to answer the age old question: what would happen if a vampire took communion? Anyway come and get your niche theological metas here.
Okay I had one with a werewolf and one with a vampire so here’s one with a zombie! Eve is one of the walking dead, but she’s determined not to eat people. You know. since that’s kind of a mean thing to do. But this is very difficult since all her friends are eating people! maybe this was why I liked it hdksdh I’m here for the difficult moral struggle. Stay strong Eve! (btw this one is multichapter while the others are oneshots)
Gotta round out my halloween monster collection! This one is about a guy wandering a deserted battlefield and being angsty, but he also has a loyal pegasus friend so that’s pretty rad. Also there’s a storm blowing in so its also very aesthetic. And there’s ghosts.

Rules: describe your wip as a one-star goodreads review
thanks for the tag @awritersbro!
if you want to do this, consider yourself tagged!
Reviewing: Granny’s Original Content Emporium
What I thought was an original story turned out to be a catalog of other people’s original stories. Scrolling through this tag, I was bombarded with an endless array of fantastic concepts with cool art. However, the cataloger did very little in the way of reviews. Every post is just slapped in there without any designation of genre or completion status or even which things belong to the same story and which do not. It was totally up to me and anyone else following granny’s blog to contact the original poster and ask them about their wip. That’s too much work. If granny really wants to support content creators they should be writing reviews for everything like I do.

Space Boy! 🚀
It's a sci-fi webcomic by Stephen McCranie about a girl from a different time and a boy filled with an emptiness deeper than space. It's a really fun and heartwarming story that really focuses on the characters and their personal journeys, and I really enjoyed it. Also his art is beautiful and his color choices are just 👌

Oh I remember that! I’ve been meaning to check it out for literal years! now that I have a webtoons account I’d better subscribe
