#im trying a different layout hehee

Rinniki icons :3

[charlie-boyfriend]

your art is so gorg how do u choose colors???

hehe thank u :3 Hard to explain i kinda just go with vibes n shit its fun for me n i just kinda have developed an eye for what i like but!! one thing that i do if my piece looks messy is i try to make the amount of distinct colors Smaller like i try to avoid having colors that r too close to each other in hue and value but not quite the same (though i think this only works for me cos i dont shade at all so keeping the palette as small as possible looks usually good)

Oh yeah speaking of value color values r SUPER important- I recall seeing a video or a post abt it years ago it changed the way i view colors completely. I couldnt explain it any better than someone else already would have but basically you should try taking a look at your piece in grayscale..! Colors with similar brightness etc will still have different values from each other(think bright neon yellow VS bright neon blue)

I also used to play around with premade palettes quite a bit, think 3-5 colors w good contrast (I think that helped me understand values too) (I dont rly use premade palettes anymore unless sometimes when im planning a game or a website layout)

ALSO my pieces recently r suuuper filtered i play around w brightness saturation ETC whatever ibispaint has however the base colors have to work imo u cant fix a "badly" colored piece with any filters its more of an afterthought (n i worked Specifically Without Any Of That for a while...! so suppose that helped too)

Yay ok sorry for the ramble i doubt its helpful but thx for the fun question i love art...

SAMMY!! I dont want to get too excited but is (to turn a bad thing good) really coming soon?? Cuz since I read "maybe I do" I've just been waiting for the rest! Your so talented and im so happy Jk's part is coming soon 😭❤️❤️❤️

YASSSSSSSSS I have a whole ass layout for it going, i'm just trying to organize the chapters because i wanna kinda approach the series differently by writing them beforehand and slowly releasing them so you guys don't have to wait so long between chapters! hehe i look forward to your support!! <33

[shimenawas]

hi !! i'd like to request a romantic match up pls, (this is my first time asking so idk if im doing this right)

about myself, my name's al, im a taurus and an infj, i go by they/them pronouns. idk about my sexuality, i just like whoever i like. my love language is acts of service and quality time.

•appearance - my height is 5"3 (i want to be taller actually lol) and i have thick black hair. i have light skin, brown eyes and crooked teeth. i sometimes wear fake glasses for fun too hehe.

• personality - when meeting someone new, i'm really quiet. but when it comes to people im already comfortable with, i get chatty, but also distance myself. this happens bcs i was always scared of being seen as annoying when i've always wanted to be the "chill and mysterious one". my friends and family describe me as gentle, organised and patient but also aloof, naive and weird lmao. i always get curious of anything, how they work, their appearance, definition and purpose. i always try to understand things from the views of others too.

• insecurities, fears - im insecure of my smile bcs of my chubby cheeks and crooked teeth. i also cover my legs up when going out bcs of my body hair. i'm afraid of conflicts and oversharing myself.

• hobbies and loves- i like listening to rock and songs from the 80s to 90s. i enjoy drawing the human body a lot, it's my way of studying it😭, i play the guitar too. i love watching horror gameplays and i like cleaning a lot. i love neutral and muted colors, anything that's matcha, cats, and alone time.

the fandom i'd like to be matched in is genshin impact and i prefer the character to be male :D

sorry if it's lengthy. i love your layout btw, really cool💪

DRUNK ANON! tryna not make mistakes here. THAT TOOK ME 20 Seconds to correct it because am drunk but BROOO. don’t call me baby. i catch feelings QUICK! hehehe. wink wink. when u say “ily” i feel a lil bit special (LMAAOO JKl

ANYWAY!! it’s SOOOO hard for me to write in Ada’s POV because we get so little of Ada’s back story or just in general, but then again it leaves room to explore Ada. Question, do you hear more of Ada’s voice or Leon’s? How do you stay motivated to write? What music evoke emotions out of you or have you think about Aeon? this is sooo messy 😭😭😭😭 i’m all over the place. SORRY.

OHH happy Holidays! OMG ANd ur layout for Leon’s apartment is how Totlaly how I imagined it. um. fuck. i lost track of my thoughts. it’s 1:22AM. Thank you for always having time for AEON NATION. you’re da best! 💕

YOU DIDN'T SAY IF YOU WERE GONNA DRINK WATER >:(

YOU BETTA DO THAT AFTER U DRUNK

sjkdbfsjkfnslkfsniofesidfh

u did a good job spelling hehe

yessss i do think that it's harder to write for ada. i think that we all subconsciously add our own ideas into how ada behaves and acts. and i think that's fine to some extent since she is "playing a role" isn't she? she's always this kinda cold person but we see her becoming softer for leon. so i think we have a bit of space to explore that and make a more "real version" of an ada. i do think that some people (even ada and aeon stans) still mischaracterize ada or her backstory, which is fine tbh since we have so little of her childhood, but like the egregious mischaracterizing (usually from anti ada and anti aeon people) is the kind of shit i hate- like her wanting to kill leon or something like that. or the flip side of her wanting to save the bunnies - although i do like the addition of her saving the chickens in re4r lol.

i like to think of them in both povs because i feel like it gives us a better way to move the plot along. if an entire fic is only from leon's pov it's a bit boring to me. i like the alternating povs and i usually write like that. the only ada only pov that i've ever written is this one.

even my other fics i add some of ada's pov.

i think it's important to explore both of their motivations and thoughts and ideas even if you don't end up writing one of their povs. it makes the writing disjointed sometimes if you don't think about the other characters and how they feel. even side or secondary characters i think it's important to flesh out just enough so that they're not just used as a plot device. (not to say only writing in characters for plot devices are bad, but keep them secondary characters or minor background characters.)

uhhhhhh honestly i write for fun so i just try to write a little bit when i feel like it T_T sjkdfbsjkfs i wrote a post on how to stay motivated but i don't remember what it was called. it might be tagged under like #heart writes or something like that

uhhhhh i have lots of songs that i like! i have a bunch tagged with #aeon coded song

THAT'S OKAY MY LOVE

ujjjhhhhhh

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! heheheheh im glad! i did try to explain it when i was writing but it's also okay if people had different ideas for apartment layouts. i wasn't like super specific about some aspects of it.

THAAANK YOOUUU 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 DRINK SOME WATERR 💕💕💕

asks + answers (4/26)

Yo yo yo! I’ve been working my through my ask box, and wanted a way to answer some of the anon questions without feeling like I’m spamming y’all with bazillions of short info posts.

Instead of “killing two birds with one stone,” my mom would always say “feeding two birds with one seed,” which is a lot cuter, and also who the fuck is going around throwing rocks at birds for fuck’s sake. 

In that spirit, I hope this type of post is a good way to feed the birbs. xoxo

ANON ASKS:

Heyyy! So you have a masterlist?

Yes, or at least the humble beginnings of one! I just got a laptop last week, so I’m excited to finally get my shit together.

Today, I’ve been getting together all the fic links, and I’ll also be including links to browse all posts for each individual boy. The vast majority of what I’ve written is in ficlet/drabble/HC form, aka snaccs and thots, which will prove more timely to catalog. You can always track #jyn z snaccs for HCs and #jyn z thots for ficlets/drabbles if you don’t want to miss ‘em!

feels pretty shitty to see you responding to all these other asks but not the ones I’ve sent. oh well   

I thought about just deleting this ask like I did with the small handful of similar ones I’d received before posting about pausing writing requests to catch up, but considering this came in just a few hours ago, it’s probably worth addressing.

Anon, I am so sorry you’re feeling crappy about not seeing your prompt(s) fulfilled. I would never want to do something to intentionally make you feel bad. 

For the most part, I answer asks in the order they are received--perhaps peppering in others out-of-order to diversify the smattering of characters/kinks/themes. I write around 2k words a day just for asks. Up until a week ago, I was plinking out every word I wrote on a phone keyboard, too.

The reason you haven’t seen your ask posted is this:

I am just a smol bean. With two opposable thumbs. And a dwindling supply of beer and coffee. I have only been on tumblr for five weeks. I am still trying to figure this whole thing out. I can only write so much. I don’t want to annoy anyone by posting too much shit. I also live with pretty debilitating mental illness... but I don’t need any reason to justify not being able to churn out non-stop content. Yer babe here needs to take care of their basic needs. <3

~~I am try my best~~

Hugs to you. I hope you know you I value you, regardless of how dialed-in I am on this “web blogging” thing.

i loved your thicc thighs snacks and now im listening to lizzo 💖 sorry if this is personal but are you thicc?

How great is that Lizzo album, right? SHE SHOULDA SWEPT THE GRAMMYS DONT @ ME. Anyway. ^.^ I’m so glad you enjoyed the snaccs! 

And hey, ain’t no thang. I don’t think I’d categorize myself as thicc, but I would say I’m on the muscular side. A suitor once told me I had a “powerful butt,” which is (1) objectively funny, (2) a unique compliment, and (3) the best answer to your q.

In general, I’m a body glorifier. All bodies are good bodies. Anyone who says different can go fuck themselves.

the ‘someone you trust’ interaction in Swiped is very ‘i’m the bosses wife’ from don quixote and i appreciate it

HEY, YO, THANK YOU, I AM THRILLED ABOUT THAT RESONANCE

Also hearing Toby say “Yeah, you are the boss’ wife...” makes me rabid.

Nicole really made Charlie’s 6’3 ass sleep on that small couch

There are few things I find more endearing than extremely tall people on furniture that is obviously too short to accommodate them. AD on basically any furniture is in that category for me. 

Also, just to give a quick holler--for personal reasons, I tend to get really squicked by lingering resentment/spitefulness pertaining to the failed marriage of Marriage Story, so I prefer to steer clear of most emotionally-charged conversations around it! xo

You say y’all a lot, are you southern by chance?

Ha! No, I am not Southern. Quite the opposite: Pacific Northwestern. “Y’all” tends to be my default plural pronoun, as it’s quick and gender-neutral. My favorite gender-neutral plural pronoun is “party people,” but that takes a bit longer to type out.

two of my asks in one post! i asked about the baby steps too hehe. would you pretty please tell me about them? i’m so soft for loving daddy clyde 🥺🥺🥺 - 🤠

Howdy, Cowboy! Thanks for being so patient with your Clyde asks xo. I did mean it, though--that gets me a lil’ too soft and emotional right now! Perhaps when I’m not a quarantine sadboi. MORE FILTH TO NUMB THE PAIN!

If I could count down the days until you drop the flip chapter fic I would! I have been absolutely WHORING over him!! Can’t wait to read it!

AWWWWW I am so happy and also JESUS CHRIST ON A FUCKIN BICYCLE FLIP HAS HAD ME WILDIN RECENTLY. I have said it before and I will say it again: something about than man makes my nostrils flare involuntarily and that’s... that’s some shit.

Hello beautiful soul! I've come to ask about my boy Jude? He needs more recognition!! Stay safe!

Hiya, darling dearest! Thank you for your sweet message; I hope you’re safe and healthy wherever you are. Right now, I’m pretty darn stacked with characters to write, and I’ve gotta get my blog footing underneath me more before I consider adding any more boys. In the meantime, stay stocked up on Raisin Bran. ;)

I just have to stop and say you write some of the absolute best HCs and I just love the layout of your snaccs so much

I just have to stop and say that you are the absolute best and I so appreciate you reading and being here. HUGS!

XOXO, jyn z

[sanschoice]

okok hello julia i hope ur ready bc im always interested in how graphic/gifmakers do their stuff and how they got started sO 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 22, 37 fdjkd id ask more but thats already a lot sO sorry fdjkdf also ily !!

oh my jesus dfkgksj annie you went off on this one 👀🥴but imma do them all!!1. okay so basically i was a eight-nine year old kid super interested in coding and layouts, i used to make those.... profile thingies for a game called gosupermodel lmao and that eventually got me more interested in art, and graphic-related things because you had to make those profiles?? 

they basically looked like this hhh4. I love making graphics because it gets my creative juices going, as I am a media major myself (fun-fact) I usually make things, and it is my creative outlet?? making things that contribute to the fandom and that people enjoy makes me happy ((:5. what I dislike the most about making graphics has to be that you can't always please people?? I try to always ask people if my graphics look good to them and if I get a few no’s, I try to make it more appealing to them as well?? but it gets messy because I can't appeal to everyone hhh and!! its very time consuming, people assume you just slap a bunch of shit on but it is not really like that

6. I don't really have a favourite graphic maker??? I just draw a bunch of inspiration from different ones daily and from regular things I see in magazines, books etc. there are so many different types of graphic makers in general as well?? it makes it hard to choose a favourite kdfjks

8. my favourite graphic,,,,, I've made hm...since I haven't really posted that many yet?? but I think it has to be my dazed photoshoot gfx!! I was really proud of that one hehe

22. my biggest improvement?? mmm... my colour-matching?? I know which colours fit more together now hhh,,, I'm also getting way better at filling up my graphics,, more than leaving them blank and bare?? I know that some people prefer the cleanliness of it all, I always think it can be a little more “extra” (but not too much)

37. a must... well i think its important to have a main focus?? like the point of the whole graphic,, if you're making a graphic of ateez?? you gotta include them at least?? have their name in their graphic?? have something that is recognizable to them/atinys?? I've seen way too many graphics where you really can't see the main focus of a graphic hhh and when making a set of graphics you should always make them match each other, whether it be colours, fonts, pngs, etc. it looks cleaner!!send me graphic asks!!

[tofusoups]

Nara: day  01 - Osaka: day 02

For our 5th day here in Japan, we planned to visit another city, just 31 km away from Osaka; Nara.

Nara is the capital city of Nara prefecture, Kansai Region. During the Nara period, Nara was the capital of Japan, and the Emperor lived there before moving the capital to Kyoto. 

From our apartment in Tsuruhashi, We took JR Kintetsu-Nara line to Kintetsu Nara station which costed us 540 yen (Rp. 60.000), 20 minutes later we arrived at Nara. 

I don’t know is it just that day or the usual, but Nara was less crowded than Osaka and Kyoto, less hectic and more....serene? somehow. Once you get out of the station, you’ll meet Higashimuki Shopping Street. Here you’ll find many stores, cafe, and restaurant. The famous one is mochi store called Nakatanidou. Whats unique from this shop is they still making mochi in a traditonal manner and you can watch them making mochi whle you’re there. Couldn’t be fresher than that right? I didn’t get the chance to try them because I just heard about this place once I got back to Indonesia lol

Okay, our first destination was Todai-ji temple. On the way there, we made a brief stop at Nara Park (No, not the restaurant in Ciumbuleuit Bandung). As you might already knew, Nara is famous for its deer being on the street, but mostly they’re gathering at the park. Why is that?

The story of how the deer of Nara became a sacred animal hearkens back to the Nara Period (710-794 CE) when the capital of Japanese civilization was established in the area of Nara City. At that time, divine protection was being sought for the new capital and the mighty lightning god, Takemikazuchi, of the Kashima Shrine (located in what is now Ibaraki Prefecture), was beseeched for aid. Takemikazuchi, heeding the call, left the Kashima Shrine and rode into Nara on the back of a great white deer, taking up new residence in the Kasuga Shrine. Ever since that time, the god has provided protection and the deer living in the area have been considered sacred in reverence to Takemikazuchi and his deer.

As you walked thru the sidewalk along the park, you’ll meet so many deer, walking freely. Some of the deer was nice and tame, the other was hungry and vicious. If you want to feed the deer, you can buy deer crackers in the food stall along this sidewalk, 1 pack for 200 yen. I’ll guarantee, in a second you’ll be surrounded by all the hungry deer

I’m somehow familiar with deer since Ranca Upas, Bandung (Deer conservatory park) was basically my sanctuary whenever I felt like escaping the reality (yha, im talking nonsense again here) but its tru, Ranca Upas was my fav place, and I was pretty much familiar with deer and their behavior. One thing I noticed, deer in Nara different than deer in Ranca Upas. Deer in Nara doesn’t have horn. I don’t know if they’re cutting it off or just different breed. Then, deer in Nara has ‘white back fur’ which I didn’t see in Ranca Upas’s. About the behavior? Its pretty much the same hehe. Being the sacred animal here in Nara, deer really rule the road. One time there were 2 deer blocking the road and guess who is yeilding behind? the vehicle of course! 

By the way, I went there at the end of winter but at Nara Park, some of the cherry blossom was already blooming. It was so pretty!

About 30 min walking, we arrived at Todai-ji temple. Tōdai-ji is a Buddhist temple complex that was once one of the powerful Seven Great Temples. The temple is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara", together with seven other sites including temples, shrines and places in the city of Nara.

After passing a big gate, you have to buy a ticket first for 600 yen (Rp. 90.000). The layout of the temple is similar with Taj Mahal in India, there is a long walkway before the entrance of the temple. Since it is a buddhist temple, first you can light up an incense in a large burner called joroko as a way to purify ourself before entering the temple then, you’ll see a chozuya, a big water pavilion for cleanse your hands and mouth before entering the temple. Its not a mandatory since we aren’t buddhist, but if you want to try it its okay.

My first impression once I entered the main temple was “wow, that is a huge great buddha statue!” with 15 m height and 30 m in length, sure this is the biggest buddha statue in Japan. The temple itself basically has a few other statues and a brief history about the temple, one of them was how it has gone thru so many reconstruction due to misunderstanding over another misunderstanding regarding the original shape of the temple. It was such a pleasant experience, esp those of you who has any interest in history and buddhism. 

1 pm, it was time for a lunch! We were having lunch at Kamameshi Shizuka Koeun-Ten. It is a super famous restaurant, across Nara park, specialized in Kamameshi. Kamameshi literally translates to "kettle rice" and is a traditional Japanese rice dish cooked in an iron pot called a kama. Well, basically, we sundanese called it “nasi liwet’. Kamameshi itself usually topped with vegetables, chicken, or seafood. I bought the one with seafood for 1200 yen (Rp. 180.000). We were lucky we could get in the restaurant without a long queue, usually you have to wait an hour to get in since this place is so popular! The taste was oishi, almost similar to nasi liwet if i recalled. One thing you couldn’t miss was the okoge, I don’t know how to describe it other than ‘kerak’. Notice when you eat nasi liwet, you’ll always longing for the ‘kerak’ part ath the end of the meals? It is a similar thing. They have a particular way to scrape the okoge, please follow thoroughly for the best experience.

Our belly was fully loaded and we were back to Osaka. I love Nara, I love how neat and clean this city is, I love how you could cross the road by an old tunnel and ended up at the modern fancy building on the other side. I mean, It’s like a well fusion between old japanese and modern japanese. 

Took the same train, but we were heading to Namba area, so we stopped at Namba Station. Our destination was Shinsaibashi-dori in Dotonbori area. At its center is Shinsaibashi-suji, a covered shopping street. I like this place. It has a shibuya-like vibes which I like so much. It is sure a long street, filled with many stores you name it from the luxury one, to the convenient store. Check out Don quijote, a mega store with discounted prices perfect for souvenir or pretty much any stuff you need. 

We stayed there until the sunset, and wait for the glico sign to light up. In the other hand, my brother didn’t join us for the shopping spree, instead he met up with his highschool friend who live in Osaka for study. He went to Kuromon Market, a street food heaven he said. For those of you who’d prefer eating than shopping, maybe going to Kuromon Market instead. It is located also in Namba area. 

After more strolling and walking, we called a night off and went to our apartment.

(To be continued)

Maybe you could obtain more audience with a different layout! :) like another used and pics, cause now it seems like ur a manga writer hehe~

:D i think i could try that. Most of the times i am just too tired to do anything, so im just like- let's search the good old google for some pictures, and then my classic black frame with a text :D
