I Was Tired Of Looking At How Bad That Was So I Just Hit Post LOL, God I Wish I Had Better Design Skills

i was tired of looking at how bad that was so i just hit post LOL, god i wish i had better design skills 

my youngest brother can’t write or read cursive, he’s 11

Re-blog if you can write in cursive.

I heard cursive is dying. I want to see who still uses it.

it’s been a while since i was last here, hello

i am still alive!!!

finally finished with school and since october was right around the corner, i thought i’d try to write some stuff. when i finally managed to remember my password, i also found a TON of things in my drafts so i moved them to my queue. they should start posting in a few. they’ve been set to post 3xs a day. and there are still many other drafts i need to get through

changed my theme because i couldn’t edit the sidebar stuff in my old theme?? i kept getting some sort of error thing. well, i like the new theme better (altho i wish the header was a bit wider, it feels kind of...awkward?)

as an update: i just finished rewatching no. 6. it’s still so beautiful and tragic as the first time i watched it. also just bought tsuritama. i don’t usually buy anime but it was on sale and soon to go extinct. have you watched it? you should, it’s very cute!! and about aliens

oh and i have some reimob fics in the works. don’t know if there are still people in that fandom but feel free to drop me some ideas >_> i’m going to go through the old asks i got before (and all those delicious october prompts i have found) but nothing motivates me more than to write something for someone

also i need more mp100 reimob twitters to follow. anyone have recs? thanks

How should a new artist on Tumblr get their art more recognized?

I think the main thing for getting recognized  is exposure. It’s not that your art isn’t good enough, it’s just that not enough people are seeing it!

-I find drawing for fandoms guarantees more exposure. It’s like being a part of a community/ gallery. 

-Tag your stuff? Some people actually overlook this. Your art is now in every tag you associate it with, tags that a lot of people are browsing!

-Original art is just a big hit or miss if you haven’t already established your name. The only way that seems to work is art that corresponds to some recent trend (memes/ events/ etc) 

-Think about people on tumblr! Every website has a trend in what goes around fast. That’s why you could post a drawing to instagram and hit 10k but on tumblr it wouldn’t reach much of a number. 

-Look through popular artists works. You’ll notice some obvious trends (especially in terms of aesthetics). Drew a trending character in a trending fandom, tweaked them up by adding a cute ponytail? Notes^2

These are a couple of things I’ve noticed while being here. 

Of course, I could be completely wrong. Don’t give up your style or the things you enjoy drawing to follow trends! Sometimes you just need time and consistent art posts to gain steady recognition. :)

All I could think about when I saw this gif.

It's been nearly a year since the incident that changed Yuuri's life (Victuuri)

Cuddles, tickles, and laughter, Ch2

Read Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Ao3

It's been nearly a year since the incident that changed Yuuri's life

He no longer lives in Viktor's apartment, having moved back to his family's home. Minako was very supportive about the whole thing (everyone was actually) but she pushed him to not give up. He went ahead and continued skating, leaving everything to his mother's capable hands, and really, he wouldn't trust anyone else with something so delicate. He managed to make it to the Grand Prix again, but it wasn't the same. Yurio made just as great an impact as the prior year, JJ had gotten his bearings back even though he'd get overly nervous sometimes, and Phichit was...well, he was Phichit. The three of them had amazed the crowd while he'd been too busy worrying about home

Viktor would probably scold him if he'd seen something so disgraceful

The only constant he's had as of late was the beeping in the guest room. He hugged his knees close to his chest, I shouldn't have rushed him, I should have told him to stay another day until the weather cleared up

There's a knock at his door and his mother walks in, a sweet smile on her chubby face, "Did you finish your meal Yuuri?"

Yuuri smiles guiltily, "I wasn't very hungry," and he knows she can see his half eaten food. She doesn't say anything and moves to Viktor's bed, making sure that everything is fine. Yuuri knows it's all ok since he'd made sure to fluff up the pillow under Viktor's head, he'd changed the man's clothing, wiped him down, and opened the curtains for him to get some light

His face looks peaceful and Yuuri feels tears well up in his eyes. How many times had he wished to see Viktor sleeping? To see his chest rise and fall while he lay in bed comfortable. It was such a huge contrast to how Viktor was when awake. Now Yuuri wishes he'd never see it again, or at least not like this.

His mother seems to be satisfied with his care and Yuuri thinks she'll leave now, but instead she sits next to him

Even sitting he's taller than her

They sit in quiet for a few minutes before Yuuri feels her hand gently petting his head, "It's okay to hurt Yuuri."

And he can't help it this time. The tears come down freely and he feels snot forming under his nose, he feels like he's suffocating, and Viktor becomes a blur. He tries not to make too much noise by clenching his teeth but it only makes breathing harder and the crying worse. He hates the fact that he's so selfish, crying while Viktor can't do the things he loves anymore

A gentle tug pulls him over to his mother's warm embrace and he holds onto her tightly. She's still petting his head with one hand and he remembers how Viktor liked to thread his hands into his hair, to ruffle it because it was soft. His mother starts humming a tune that he vaguely remembers as a child

He's healing remarkably well, all things considered. The only issue now is the deterioration of his muscles as we don't know...when he'll wake up. We do have some nurses we can recommend if you need any help with his care

"Don't worry Yuuri, Vicchan is strong, he'll come back to us soon"

And Yuuri wanted to believe her, but how much more time would soon take?

A/N:

so it's been awhile (oops) but here's the next mini-fic

I decided to follow up on the “previous chapter” because I couldn't bare to just leave it at "and yuuri waited for viktor's call..." and because of that I added Prompt 6 to this. The prompts there just fit better than "comfortable place". enjoy and let me know what you think!

Prompt 1: In bed / On the couch / Comfortable place Prompt 6: While someone is crying / Sick / Reassurance
