FINALLY, I Finished The Helmetless Gabe Fic I Always Wanted To Write.

FINALLY, I finished the helmetless Gabe fic I always wanted to write.

I was contemplating whether to make it FerryGabe or GabV1el. So, why not both?

Andrew Kreiss from IDV.

Drew a full background as practice.

I also tried drawing Andrew as a buffer dude (since digging up corpses and carrying that heavy shovel must be a lot of work). I probably need more practice in drawing buff guys.

a man with a helmet or mask that he never takes off is infinitely more sexy than an attractive man who sometimes wears a helmet. it’s about the mystery. the mystique. is there nothing under there or a monster under there or a scary looking guy (all three uniquely charming). you’ll never know. it’s also doubly attractive if he takes his shirt off but keeps the helmet on. you agree

WritingWithColor FAQ: How do I start writing a character of color?

First, be mindful that no race, culture, or ethnicity makes one inherently predisposed to certain emotions or personalities, despite what stereotypes or TTRPGs may suggest. We are all humans who share the same range of emotions and ways of thinking, even if we have different values.

Understand that there is no single template for a good [race, ethnicity] character. A person’s social, economic, and geographical background influences their life and values just as much as their race, culture, or religion. Consider: a Black American boy who grew up in a California mansion versus a Black American boy who grew up on an Illinois cornfield versus a Black boy who grew up in an apartment one city over. All three will have very different privileges, disadvantages, and outlooks on life.
