Mad's voice is so beautiful it makes my eyes sting. And my heart skip a beat.

OC-tober day 19 prompt: inspiration

Featuring the main squad from Search Party of Four!! (Kassandra, Roza, Lucy and Dimitra)

August of 2020. We are messing around a school yard none of us have ever attended. We are chatting, I mostly keep bringing the conversation back to Sto Para Pente. Unlike my cousins (and most people of my generation) I hadn't watched it until then. And damn it was I obsessed. "I just love the whole found family dynamic going on. Just the concept of wildly different people from different backgrounds working together to solve a mystery- hey remember when we used to play pretend as cousins we were the main cast?" "How the hell do you remember stuff like that" [A] asks. "Must be nice to be living in the same city-" [S] mumbles just loud enough for us to hear. "[M] was Dalia, you were Aggela, my brother was Spyros, yours was Fotis, I was Zou- HEY WHY WAS I ZOUMPOULIA?!"

Us as the main cast. I thought it would be fun to make a mystery story where four stand ins for us from wildly different backgrounds would have to work together to uncover a mystery. "Hey guys, what fake name would you choose for yourselves?" "What do you mean?" [M] asks. "For example, when I was like 10, I decided if I were to ever use a fake name to introduce myself I would choose Dimitra Lyritsa" "Reason being?" [M] probes. "I don't know, seemed nice" "I think I would go for Roza" [A] states. "Wooooooo spicy name- I would go for Kassandra. I think it's mysterious and cool" "What about you [M]?" "Uhhhh I don't know.... Lucy?" "That doesn't sound Greek at all" "Loukia works" "She's half Greek whatever-".

And so we spent that evening roleplaying as our fake personas, getting to learn more about their personalities and backstories, making a story from the ground up. "Kiki you should make this an actual story" "I will"

Search Party of Four in my eyes is very specific things at its core. It's my hometown, the month of october, and all the fond memories I have with my cousins. I always thought it was kind of a shame that I US-ified my stories, without really showcasing anything related to my every day life yknow. So this was a good way to do it. While it is inspired by the show Sto Para Pente, it barely has any real similarities to it. Like the similarities begin and end at how different people become friends as they work together to solve a mystery and it takes place in Greece. That's all of it. As for pure vibes inspiration, lovejoy music, especially their first EP. It could be that I make this association because I was listening to the EP a lot when working on the story (well more like the EP came out when I was working on it). Taunt is a Kassandra song-

If you recognise where the pictures were taken from- no you don't <3

From bweirdart's OC-tober prompt:

While I am doing this challenge mostly to keep an archive of my characters on tumblr (and to incentivise myself to draw them), if you, person stumbling upon this post, are curious and wanna learn more, my askbox is open >:3c

❛ you’re not gonna talk me out of this. ❜ / for dinah !

"  i'm not trying to talk you out of anything, amy.  "          which isn't exactly true. dinah understands why amy might feel like she has to do this alone. with the badge that madani carries on her hip and close to her heart, she tends to want to do things a certain way. a way that amy has struggles to come to terms with, she gets that. just like dinah has struggled to come to terms with the way that amy tends to do things. but, she's slowly come to the realization that things would go well if they worked together.

dinah wants to think that the only reason she's insistent on helping amy is because it would makes things easier for her. if she's there, things might go over smoothly. less gunfire, the better for her and her superiors. but, deep down, she knows there's another reason why she feels the need to tag along. madani is well aware of how quickly things can go bad in situations like these, especially for someone like amy. and, as much as she hates to admit it, she does care about the other woman. more than she'd like to admit. so, if she could have her back, she would. and there's nothing amy could say to stop that.

"  i'm trying to have your back here, okay? can you let me do that?  "          there's a slight edge in dinah's voice, borderlining on pleading. a breath is taken through her nose, hands resting on the table as she leans forwards. hues flicker over amy's features, desperately trying to meet her gaze.         "  we're partners, remember? and partners have each other's back. no matter what. so, i'm going with you. we do this together or not at all. you got it?  "

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl

While I’d want this concept to mostly be a lighthearted comedy, since that’s more my forte, the north star (heh) of this premise would be the loss of passion for something you once loved, feeling the pressure/expectations of sticking with something that you’re “a prodigy” at and the subsequent burnout. How hard do you fight for an old passion or at what point do you just let it go? Is it even okay to give up when so many people are counting on you? 

Sounds bleak but I promise I’m an optimist and that will always reflect in my work :)
