It's my birthday!! I've made it to 35 years old 🥰

[nipuni]

We were also thinking of this just yesterday!! Shadowbringers/Endwalker is such a masterpiece and it deals with so many of the same story points impeccably well and is so unafraid and I think I was expecting something similar, so what we got ended up feeling half-assed, clumsy and juvenile in comparison, with the writers walking on eggshells for whatever reason. But I also don't feel mad about it because I got the closure I needed and so much more already in FFXIV. I remember finishing Endwalker and having to lie down and SOB, no other story has had that effect on me before or after, it's truly so good it rewired my brain lmao 😭

If you’re feeling sad or angry or listless or dissatisfied, I highly recommend playing Final Fantasy 14 up until the expansions Shadowbringers and Endwalker. I had mentally treated it as the True Conclusion for Dragon Age before I thought that DA4 would come out, and it helped me find closure several years ago. It is an incredibly peak story and experience and I realize now that maybe nothing will ever top it. The story contains a story that is very similar to Solas’ story in Inquisition and DA4, treated very respectfully. Anyway, I truly recommend it. You can actually download and play more than half the game for free. The writing in the start is unfortunately a quite simple story (but serviceable), but when the lead writer who wrote Shadowbringers and Endwalker takes over, the quality jumps to the stratosphere, to heights we may never see again. I can’t recommend it enough.

Wait NIPUNI stole your work to make a bot? Shucks I actually message the crap out of those bots, would you prefer us avoiding chatting with the LOVESICK line for now (or more)?

-💌 nonnie (who constantly stalks your blog)

yes they did 😭😭

id rather u find some other bot to chat as nipuni's bots have tons of other stolen works but if you want to keep using their bots i can't stop you

[iridescent-stims]

Ohh man i missed your blog :] could we get a stimboard for an Erik (The Phantom of the Opera) fictive with candlelight, water at night, and sheet music/instruments? Idk how easy those would be to find so you can also go with whatever your heart desires pfft. For the center art he looks more like the artist Nipuni's design if that helps too!!

thank you, that's so sweet!! I'm suprised to see people have stuck around this blog despite the inactivity ;w;

Anyhow, the board should be up now, I hope you like it ! Sorry I didn't go too diverse with the instruments, just stuck to pianos lol

[angelyasminesblog]

Today, as we live through this COVID-19 Pandemic, our country, Philippines, is treating this big crisis really seriously. So, as a fellow countrymen, we tend to obey and cooperate on what rules and protocols our Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) established when in terms to our safety. But;

"Do everyone of us follow or remember those protocols?"

The DOH astablished this program called "BIDA Plus+ Solusyon sa COVID-19" with Alden Richards as their Ambassador. BIDA Plus+ stands for:

B – Bawal ang walang mask at face shield.

I – Isanitize ang mga kamay at iwasan ang kulob na lugar.

D – Dumistansya ng isang metro at limitahan ang pisikal na interaksyon sa iba.

A – Alamin ang totoong impormasyon.

Plus+ – Suportahan ang FDA approved na bakuna.

If we follow these protocols, we can be certain that our health is very secure. Base on the interview of Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a Mayo Clinic infectious diseases expert,"The things we're asking people to do are not easy. They are definitely disruptive, they're definitely challenging, but they do have evidence to show that they work when implemented broadly, widely and followed by everyone."

fanfic writer questions

Thank you for tagging me @autumnslance​ . I’m in a weird mood about my writing tonight so maybe some self-reflection will help!

(answered on 8/27/2021)

How many works do you have on Ao3?

Just 9, but one of them has 46 chapters

What’s your total Ao3 wordcount?

106,499

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

That’s I Damn Well Mean to Try in the very strong lead followed by Mortal Instants. Tiles & Yours, are next and feel like cheating because they’re actually included as chapters in DW but were published on their own first. Number 5 is Beholden which is pretty cool, I didn’t know it made top 5 until now.

lots more blabbing about writing below the cut

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do most of the time but sometimes not for months, which I feel really bad about lol. I want to reply to everyone because I want them to know how much I appreciate them even taking the time to say something regardless of coherence. I think Mortal Instants was one I fell really behind on replying too mostly because 99% of the comments came in like all in the same day when Nipuni recommended it on her blog lmao

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Mortal Instants. No question.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I think technically Tangible & Undefined has the happiest “ending” if you mean ending of the work itself. It’s bittersweet obviously but pretty damn happy. 

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

Nah, never written a crossover before, but sometimes the errant AU crossover headcanon will rear its ugly head.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

No, thank god. Not that I know of. This is one of my greatest fears I am too soft for that shit.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yeah quite a bit of it, almost all of it for the same couple. I don’t know how to describe what “kind” it is, exactly--it’s emotional, full of sensory imagery and fun banter. It’s always full of love.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. I really hope not. Having ideas stolen hurts enough.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No I don’t think so! People are pretty good about asking permission, hopefully I’d know if somebody did hah

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nah, not unless spontaneous Discord shitposting RP counts as fic.

What’s your all time favorite ship?

ALL TIME?? Lord. I have a lot. Come back to me.

What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

What a depressingly phrased question. I’m sure I have a lot I don’t INTEND to ever finish, which is fine, we all need those. One that I might like to finish someday but realistically won’t is the Werlyt fix-it-fic, purely because I’m not really interested in returning to something I wrote out of anger. I’d rather just move on from that and maybe use some of the ideas for another story in the future.

What are your writing strengths?

FEELINGS?? idk ...Emotional, physical and their intersection. People connecting. I think I write pretty good romance overall. Sometimes I have a line of dialogue that is absolute fire.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Description of setting, oh my god. It’s so hard for me and I sooo admire people who do it well. I will paint you a beautiful picture of people and their feelings/interactions including every nuance of the conversation but please don’t ask me to describe the room they’re in.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Frankly it annoys me as a reader, I’m lazy. I’m also not a fan of the way most people write dialect or accents. When used sparingly and carefully it’s fantastic but it’s so often completely overdone and distracting. Just describe their manner of talking instead and I’ll be much more interested.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Legend of Zelda! Though it was only for me, I wasn’t really participating in “fandom” at the time and didn’t plan to post it anywhere.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

This is so hard to answer. It honestly might be Mortal Instants because of how much of a risk I took and how greatly it paid off. I really pushed my limits and did something brand new and it’s excellent, honestly. As a standalone piece of writing it’s absolutely one of my strongest.

[nipuni]

Here is me being super normal about Doctor Who!! I tried on Nicolas' Ten costume today 😌

[blazingjackdaw]

Hi! Since you're an amazing and wonderful artist who draws dragon age fanart (love your art so much!!!) I was wondering if you could recommend other amazing and wonderful artists who draw dragon age fanart? Have a beautiful day!

Thank you, sweet nonny! I would shower you with hugs if I could ❤ Off the top of my head, I know these artists have absolutely gorgeous Dragon Age art - caffeinatedrogue, serphena, the-upper-shelf, plushchimera,  elhuen, roboticbiotic, kurogoesinthedas, picchar, serpentsshipmate, elbenherzart, kallielef, cccrystalclear, savbakk, nipuni, lulu-lamm, wifihunters ...there are definitely many more I'm blanking on atm. Pretty much all the blogs I follow are by amazing artists (and most have at least some DA-related stuff) so you can also look through my following list for more.

I hope this was helpful and have a lovely day, anon! ^^

[crushzone]

Hi Nin! I know this might be weird of me to ask because you are an artist yourself, but I am rather new here and was wondering if you have any other artists you'd recommend? If not that is ok!

Hi there, not weird at all! I LOVE supporting fellow artists, I find their wonderful talent and dedication incredibly inspiring, seeing their beautiful works on my feed constantly reminds me to take a step back from my exhaustion and to simply remember why I love to draw to begin with: because it’s fun.

I’m usually really picky about artists I follow and their style, but when I find the ones that I enjoy, I go ALL OUT with my support. So without further ado, the following artists listed are those I am not only in love with, but those who I genuinely look up to. 

So make sure you stop by their page to show them some love and appreciation for their hard work (because hard work extends beyond the individual pieces they’ve made, it’s also for the countless hours they’ve spent on practicing and perfecting their craft, constantly challenging themselves to learn new techniques). 💛

👇🏼👇🏼 Nin’s Artist Recommendation👇🏼👇🏼

---------------------

@aku-jumbi - HQ!!, Various, You all had seen me share a BUNCH of their works on my blog, but it’s just because their art is so SOOOOOOOOO good. Your style leans toward photorealism, while still maintaining its painting-like quality, so if you had ever wondered how your favorite characters may look like irl, they’ve got you!!! Watching your speed painting is so fascinating, idk how you do it, but you’re always killing it every time (Like our process is so different, so it was really interesting to see how you approach your works you know?). This piece of Kei Tsukishima and Oikawa Tooru are two of my favorite works you’ve done!

@achieve-the-sun - HQ!!, Various, Let me start off by saying that I love Morghy’s art so much, that they are the first and only person I had ever commissioned from so far. They drew Keishin and I sooo adorably, it brings me so much joy to look at it on the daily. Your style reminds me of freshly baked cookies, or the warmth of bakeries, I can’t help but feel a sense of coziness whenever I look at your adorable artworks. This piece you did of Kageyama and Hinata was what had drawn me to you. Everything from your color choices, fluid gestures, and expressions are such a delight to look at!

@chaotickatts - HQ!! I am so in love with Katts, you all. I had never seen anyone draw like this, her style is really unique. I can go on forever about why I love your art, but one of the biggest things that drew me to your style is the way you draw bodies. I like the variation and realistic details you include, for instance, I absolutely adore the way you gave Sakusa more moles on his body, and the way you drew dad bod Osamu. Idk, I think there’s so many different types of body shapes and details out there, and it brings me joy to see you being so inclusive of them in your art.

@namusw - Hunter x Hunter. Was drawn to their Hunter x Hunter works and I don’t even watch/read that manga. Honestly, just check them out, I love everything about their works, they are also a killer at both traditional and digital styles. This piece of Hisoka, Illumi, and Chrollo was the one that made me fall in love.

@cranbearly - HQ!! I really adore the way they draw expressions and their coloring style (inspired me to attempt some flat coloring). This piece of Oikawa and Iwa made me follow them instantly. Expressions are so difficult to nail, and you’ve done such an amazing job conveying every emotion the characters are feeling, I’ve learned so much just from looking at your works, so thank you for blessing us with your craft.

@a-zebra-was-here - HQ!! Their art has a very carefree type of vibe and their coloring style brings me so much joy. I’ve really enjoyed your drawings of the Miyas’, this piece of the twin was what got me, and this other piece, the first image of young Miyas’ was so SO well done, I am in love with the way you colored that. 😻 

@erionmakuo - Various, dude....I want to cry, I don’t even know what to say, EVERY SINGLE PIECE of your artworks just BLOWS ME AWAY. The way you color your art is just so ethereal, the color schemes you had chosen, the way you mix the color of your lighting, textures, and everything in general, I can go on about this all day but just hop on to their blog and you will know exactly what I mean. I don’t have a particular piece that drew me in because I was blessed by all your works at once.

@uranarino - HQ!!, Your artworks bring me so much joy. If I have to describe your style like an experience in life, I would say it reminds me of how it’s like to fall in love with someone for the first time, if that makes sense. That sudden overwhelming feeling you get when you’re doing the most mundane things with someone you care about, only for time to stop as you realize how in love you are with them? Yea, your art captures that really well. These two pieces of Kuroo returning home with his groceries and of him taking a day nap with his cats was what had drawn me to you.

@queenoftheantz - HQ!!, Various, Their style is really unique, it kind of reminds me of an adventurous graphic novel or something you would see on Cartoon Network (idk, I thought of Chowder, but please, I really mean it as a compliment, I just really love the fun cartoon style you have.) They also do some animations! I really love this piece of Kyotani you did, the landscape and colors look SOO GOOD!!

@noodlemanjpg - HQ!!, Various, love LOVE your style and the way you draw expressions. I also really love how you color, your works “appear” effortless, but I know a lot of knowledge and precision is put into crafting it. This piece of Kuroo x Yaku being all cozy at the couch was what had drawn me to your blog, it makes me smile every time I look at it. Kuroo’s smitten expression is just...ahsdl;adjs I can’t help but smile with him.

@diabolism666 - HQ!!, c’mon, you can’t be in the HQ!! fandom without at least seeing one of their artworks. In fact, I had seen your art even before I’ve gotten into this show, and it was love at first sight, lemme tell ya. EVERY. SINGLE. THING. you had drawn are so good, it doesn’t even matter if it’s a more simplistic drawing or elaborate one, I am just always staring at it in awe. Thank you for being so incredibly active about it too, idk how, but you’ve produced so many amazing drawings and we’re just incredibly grateful for it. You draw some of best Tendou, Reon and Toshi out there. Your works have so much range, I really feel like you can draw ANYTHING hahaha.

@viria​ - Various, Viria *sobs* your works are so good. The way you draw faces and affection just gives me butterflies. I don’t even watch Fullmetal Alchemist, but this piece you did of Edward and Winry made me fall so deeply in love with your works. Your style has a certain softness to it, even when it is of an angry character, and I love it.

@nipuni​ - Various, another artist that I am incredibly nervous to tag because your works are just out of the world. You also seem so so nice and is always incredibly helpful whenever anyone sends you an ask. Just...I have the biggest crush on you and your works. EVERYTHING you had drawn is so stunning, and I mean it. The details, pose, composition, and coloring, it is just so perfect, I could pull up particular artworks, but I was really blessed by it all at once. If you are into fantasy-esque realistic looking portraits, check her out, she exudes so much knowledge and talent.

@hinamihere - HQ!!, Your artworks are soo stinkin adorable. Your color choices, expressions and the way you draw hair is just so cute, your art always bring the biggest smile to my face. This piece you did of Akaashi and Bokuto was what drew me to you, when I saw it, I “awhhh”ed so loudly, my hubby had to ask me what’s up, and when I showed it to him, he had the same reaction, even if he’d never seen Haikyuu!!

@oxxuri - BNHA, so SO good, the way you color, light, and draw is so beautiful. Every single detail, down to every lashes and strands of hair is so beautiful. You draw some of the most attractive faces I had ever seen, these drawings of Aizawa and Midoriya brings me so SOOOO much joy, and I don’t even know anything about BNHA.

@amezure - HQ!!, their comic strips always make my day, I was giving their blog a peep so I can pull up specific examples and my statement is instantly confirmed when I stumbled across their newest comic art of Kuroo and Bokuto and started laughing HAHA. 😂 Your self study sheets are incredibly informative and I find myself referencing them often, it’s so nice to see my favorite artists continue to polish their craft through endless amounts of studying, practice, and analysis. It serves as a constant reminder for myself to do the same. I love the way you draw people (check out this piece of Bokuto x Akaashi), but I ESPECIALLY love the way you draw animals. (Specifically anything that has to do with lil owl Bo and Akaashi 🥺)

@obobro - Avatar the Last Airbender, HQ!!, I am absolutely in love with the way you color and draw portraits. Your drawing and detailing has so much range; you have a series of hand drawings, and that alone already displays so SO much range. I was really drawn in by this drawing of Tsukki, Zuka + Azula, and of Sokka + Katara, you can really tell they were related and I love it so much. Your art has so much life to it, it’s truly fascinating. 

---------------------

I have a couple more artists to recommend, so if you’d like a part 2 to this, please lmk.

But yes, I genuinely stand by my recommendations, these guys are so SO good at what they do and I am currently sweating because the thought of tagging all my artist crushes in one post is actually kinda scary lol.

Hope this helps! ✌️
