Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.

Butch Fairy zine: Mod application 🧚‍♂️

Next year I will be organizing a group art zine focused on butch and queer fairies, with the plan to open artist applications January 2024.

I have worked on many zines and anthologies, but I dont have much experience organizing one. So if you have experience making zines and working behind the scenes to bring zines and group projects to fruition, and you also like butch queer fairies, then this is for you!

I am currently looking to have 2 or 3 mods to help out, mainly with zine formatting, discord moderation, and schedule management.

I was inspired by @withdenim's drawing comparing Arin and Sora to Dragons and Onis, and I have taken it further by making it literal!

While drawing this though, my mind started going down a rabbit whole. And it formed the Crack theory that Mystake is Arin's grandmother making him 1/4th oni. AND like it's so unlikely! But the odds are never zero! And now my brain won't let go of that idea!!!

I had the idea that Sora could be a rare to bordeline nonexistent species of dragon native to the Realm of Imperium. Maybe she was hunted down by the Claws. And though she escaped it did leave a mark.

Here a Link to the original drawing. ^^ Link Their art is very good!!!

Project LUMEN: APPLICATIONS ROUND 2 OPENING SOON!!!!

As you can see on our lovely lil poster (made by @pinkish29) we're opening applications for the next round on the 30th of April! The period the apps are open will be for nearly three weeks (ending on May 20th) to give anyone plenty of time to apply. See below the Project Lumen banner for more info on the roles we have open!

Have you ever wanted to know what the life series would look like as a video game? Well we've got the answer for you! Project Lumen is an RPG-like game revolving around all the series of the life smp, with twists and turns, multiple storylines that can possible diverge from the 'canon' timeline. There will be mini games, quests related to each episode of a season, and much more!

Here's a basic rundown of what we're doing:

You, the player, are introduced as the Watcher Child (WC for short. They're the character in the poster above!). You are an apprentice within the Watchers, and your job is to follow and guide the champions chosen by the Watchers themselves through challenges and enemies. Featuring unique leveling systems, DnD inspired classes, and, most importantly, the ability to impact the story with the choices you make… because, after experiencing all the Life Series seasons from both the Watcher and the Player side, maybe you’ll have a change of mind. After all is said and done and seen, the world is yours to shape, Watcher Child.

We are looking for both writers and background artists!

Writers will be in charge of helping getting the script together, creating dialogue and helping create both canon timelines and alternate timelines. Your job is to make the world real through the characters, the story, and the world. You don't need script writing experience though, you'll be given opportunities to learn if you're selected. We're just looking for those willing to learn and dedicate time towards this beautiful game!

Background artists, which are the most awesome people ever you should really become a background artist, will create the backgrounds for things like fights and loading screens. It's your job to mold the world of the life series for this project. You get to draw things like the Secret keeper from secret life, the relation-ship from double life, the forest burning and the desert deserting in third life, and everything in between!

Please keep in mind this project is a long-term project that takes many months to complete. The workload, though, is extremely manageable and everyone currently working on it is having a blast!

If you have any questions at all, give us a shout (an ask)! We'll be extremely happy to answer any questions, especially of what it's actually like creating for this project (it's awesome), because we're already partway through third life.

Looking forward to seeing all of your applications, and meeting all you lovely people who manage to get in!!!

here’s what I learned in 2024, having been chronically, painfully ill most of the year:

it’s not bad to have New Year’s Resolutions. I myself have a bunch. however.

if you’re feeling like the only way out of your current situation is to scrabble and struggle desperately and Try Harder and Try Harder, that will only get you so far.

you have built-in limitations and there are powers & circumstances outside your sphere of control which will foil your plans.

but do you know Whose plans are never foiled? do you know Who is the power outside all spheres?

I have learned when I ask God to “help me get everything done that I need to get done today,” to make sure I am asking for what I really need to get done, and not what I think I need to get done.

I always get done what I needed to get done that day according to God’s will. even when that turns out to be nothing but praying that I will.

don’t burn yourself out depending on your own scrappy willpower to get somewhere or achieve something. and don’t waste energy despairing about your limitations. God has already decreed the direction in which your life will go, and how quickly it will go there. He knows what you truly need and will provide it without fail.
