do you have any advice on drawing slugcats/scavs? i love how you draw both... sincerely...
i'm rising from the dead just to answer this one even though i'm not much of an adviser or a tutorial guy x) my style is not consistent and i just flow with most of things
but here's some tutorial-ish things
slugcats are just...blobs at this point in my style, i don't use many additional lines or smth for them
it's like this one "how to draw a rat" meme where there's only two steps: "draw any shape" "done"
scavengers are more complicated tho!
they have actual anatomy and as stated - i'm still figuring it out x) but at least it's fun
here's some other scavs i drew for a little example - a random one and kinda an OC of mine
i hope this helps even if just a little bit, i really have no idea how to explain my drawing process or give drawing advice :")

caitvi fix recs? 👀
Hi, hello! Oh gosh, there's so many great fics out there! Can you believe we have 6000+ caitvi fics and counting??? It used be like 100 lol. I personally have a very long list of backlogs too haha (staring at my 30+ opened fics who are mostly 100k+ words lmfao). I'll list down some that are, at the top of my head, my favorites!
Do note the AO3 warnings too. Some can be NSFW, or some tropes might not interest you, and that's okay! Fandom should be fun for YOU! And if they're not your cup of tea, you can always just read something else that might pique your interest.
With that, here are my two favorite authors: @sunsetsharkblog (AO3 link) and @unamedica (AO3 Link). All of their works are amazing, and you can read pretty much everything they've published. Reasons being:
They update and publish a heck ton of works that are consistently AMAZING
Even if some stories have tropes that I don't usually read (e.g. high school, ABO, royalty, etc etc), I end up loving them and getting into the tropes itself. It takes a great author to do that to me, personally.
My faves are King of Zaun and the Hunter and the Hunted series from Medica, and What a Week and the When we’re together series from Sunset, but ALL their stuff are great and you should definitely check them out.
And here are more other favorite works/authors:
thescriptorium's Where is Love?
hdsoull's It's reassuring (you keep coming around)
@linka-from-captain-planet's devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes
@becasbelt's either way, we're not alone (I'll find a new place to be from) and you're a word that I can't forget
rosetattoos's lucid dreams about you
lorrxai's Vi's Guide to Not Picking Up Guys
all of @thehaakun's fics, with on your authority as my personal favorite
@connielingus423's late fine
wiseturtlebear's Plus One
KariAteRachel's Bloom for Her
@prettyaveragewhiteshark's you carry my fears (as the heavens set fire)
AmberZ10's All's Fair
JynErsoinNYC's Silver Spoons
cityseeker's the heart's epiphany
HaughtBreaker's Traffic Stop
@heymacareyna's bring me java, bring me joy
CashewNut_Cam's Total Immersion
MyrtenasterRose's The Ace Up Her Sleeve
p0etess's gray is not a real color
hellboy's for crown & country
RedPanda92's Even If Nothing's Certain, I'll Take a Chance With You
MagicBoot's It's about you and me
SarcastCity's Unexpected Chemistry
anyways to every single one of you fic authors ily all so much! thank you for the hard work you guys do for the fandom <3
