I can't be the only one who thought of Stardew from this

A bit late to the party but here's my pixel art resprite of NES Peach and Zelda👑. I tried to draw them as small as i could ^^!!

I could actually write just a book of my silly descriptions before writing. This is actually a great way to be sure you keep your idea until you can start writing :D

“I’m finally going to write! I have a great idea!”

So, my problem in writing is not being able to finish anything.

What do you all do to get yourself to finish a story or something you're writing?

Don't know if I shared this or not, but I did a redraw of my cover because my mom told me it looked like a nonfiction science book.

So I re-drew it to look more like sci-fi fantasy!

My fandoms and my fandom neighbors!

TODAY, August 12, 2024, The Animation Guild begins negotiations with the AMPTP to win a new contract for animation. This is a huge fight with severe stakes for the future of the Animation Industry in the US, and the guild needs your support!

TAG is fighting, Right Now, to stop exploitative practices that are weaponized against animation professionals across the globe, and working hard to ensure this industry has a future here in the states.

If you are a fan of animation, whether it's major or independent studios, eastern or western, tv or movies, we need you to get LOUD in support of The Animation Guild. The crews who work so hard to bring these works to life are struggling to pay their bills, if they can find work at all, while studio CEOs are getting multi-million dollar raises to cancel projects and gut streaming libraries.

We can win this fight, but we need public outcry and support. If you work in animation, if you've ever dreamed of working in animation, or if you just love animation, please stand with TAG and support the union effort to keep animation a viable career and a valuable medium!

I'm not really sure what to post recently. Don't know if I've just been stressed out or down in the dumps, but I'm having a hard time keeping my account active...

Maybe I'll see something and get invigorated again, but all I can do is hope.

Merie had been told to come by her parents house earlier in the afternoon, and despite the fact that she wanted to do anything but that, she knew she had to come. So, she could labor a few more hours at work to avoid the inevitable.

And so she did, working for as long as she could and ignoring any breaks to avoid even seeing her phone. This doubled to void her mind of Sumi, but it only worked so much as even the slightest thing would remind her of him.

Eventually though, she had to leave and once closing time came around, she got her things and began to walk to the bus stop. There she went to check her phone and saw several texts from her mother, all asking when she was going to be home.

She had to respond now, a general one, but one nonetheless. Right as she was going to send it, another message came in and she saw that it was Sumi texting her. Her eyes widened and her energy return with the simple message. Without a second thought, she scrapped the message for her mother and went to check Sumi’s.

He had asked if she were free to talk and of course she responded with a resounding yes!

And he called her.

“Hey, did you get home alright?” His voice seemed strained. His tone was much lower than she was used to and there wasn’t much life in his voice what-so-ever.

“No, I’m still out right now.” She responded, pulling at the strap of her bag.

“Oh, well hurry home, I don’t want you out for too long.”

She giggled. “Thanks for worrying about me.” She then let out a sigh.

“What’s wrong?”

“What… oh, it’s nothing really.” She stood at the bus stop alone for a long while before her thoughts flashed again to the idea that she and Sumi would be separated for their spring break.

She felt a throb in her head and now she was speaking without thinking. “I’m just really going to miss you.” There was silence on the other end and Merie’s rationality returned. “I’m sorry, I-I didn’t mean to… say that.”

“Merie?” He spoke up again. “Where are you right now?”

There was a change in his voice, one so evident that it caused Merie to tremble a bit. The husk in his words were electric even through the phone. “I’m… near the mall. I just got off work.”

“If you don’t have anything else to do tonight, I need to meet up with you.” He paused and Merie could hear the deep breath he took. “I wanted to tell you something really important.”

A boundless joy overcame Merie and she very nearly forgot about her mother.

Almost.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you then.”

“Alright, see you in a bit.”

“Yeah… later.”

She clung to every word and tried any excuse to stay on the phone, but after he hung up, she returned to reality and remembered her mother. Without hesitation, Merie quickly conjured up an excuse believable enough to warrant only a bit of concern from her mother.

She brushed off the concern and explained she’d be fine, but she couldn’t make it to the house. Merie then gave her regards to her siblings before locking the phone and looking out to the empty street in front of her.

A smile crept up on her face as Merie thought about seeing Sumi again. No matter what he wanted, Merie was just happy that they were going to be able to spend time together. She’d be able to see him one last time before he’d be out of her life for days.

Being unable to see him was one of the worst feelings she grew to know in their time together. The few months between their first meeting and now felt like an eternity, and one she was willing to live in forever. These urges were caused by him, she felt attached to him like her life couldn’t continue without him.

She would take him in any way.

Either time sped up or Merie was distracted enough to ignore the time, but it wasn’t long before Sumi showed up and Merie quickly got in the car.

With the car parked, they stared at each other in the dim light of the street lamps above them. Merie could barely see him, but the bit that she could looked different than she was used to.

Sumi’s appearance was usually well groomed, but now he appeared disheveled with clothes that looked as if he didn’t bother washing them, his hair was unkempt and his eyes had deep bags under them. He looked as if he had been sitting doing absolutely nothing for days.

“I’m so glad I got to see you today.” He got out.

Merie smiled. “Me too… but what’d you wanna tell me?” Merie’s grip on her bag tightened.

Sumi’s eyes were fixed on hers. “I was gonna ask if you wanted to stay with me for the break.”

Merie’s face held a strange expression. “You mean… like hanging out?”

“No.” He shook his head. “I mean like staying at my house.” Sumi’s words were deliberate as he spoke, not a word wasted as he spoke to her.

She turned her head. “…My parents wanted me to come and visit them. My whole family might be there, but-” Her gaze turned back to him and her expression held a twisted look of excitement.

She then spoke. “I’d feel much better with you.”

At those words, Sumi leaned over the armrest and gently grabbed her face. Merie gasped softly, but feeling his hands on her calmed her down.

“Merie… you're coming with me.”

Soulmates as a horror concept.

You WILL love this person. It doesn't matter who you loved before; any feelings you had, any promises you made, they will become inconsequential as soon as you lock eyes with the stranger Fate has picked for you.

There's no way to stop it.

There's no way to say "no."

You will meet someone and with a single glance, both of you will become someone new, someone who's now bound to this stranger whether you like it or not, want it or not.

Trapped in a dance together until the day you die.

At this point my only social life is talking to my plushies and scrolling through social media.

I have been notoriously stuck in my story because of a section involving baseball. One of my main characters has his character development during a baseball game, but

clears throat

Baseball who?

I don't watch, play, or am interested in most if not all sports.

I only know baseball because of my mom lol.

So, question. What do you all do when you're writing about something you have little knowledge in, but can't just search it up?

I honestly didn't think people hated 1st person perspective so much. So, as I always do, I'm going to defend it in this post.

I can understand some reasons as to why people don't like it.

"I went home today and I say how my mom wasn't finished with dinner. I made my way to my room and I decided to call my friend."

Like, God. I've never hated one letter so much before.

However, the way I write first person may help this overuse and plain writing.

"Things almost never felt right almost as if there was something wrong with me every time I tried anything. Perhaps this was the way things were, after all my parents made it well known this is how life is. Just can't believe how true it was."

When I write in the 1st person, I simply just write how my thoughts are. I don't think "I" all the time, I simply have thoughts that are specific to me.

Another reason I can see is because it's difficult to put yourself in the shoes of the 1st person, because you wouldn't do that specific thing or you can't understand that specific thing. However, I believe that's more bad writing then the 1st person being bad.

We're suppose to believe and even somewhat live through the life of our protagonist. Unless the protag is made to be a character that isn't relatable, we are suppose to feel like like the protag. Feel a sense of camaraderie through them and their actions.

So, if you're 1st person protag can't be lived through, that may be more of an issue of bad writing compared to the 1st person being bad to write in.

So this idea is one I really wanna work on, but just can't find the time or motivation to start as usual :p being unemployed and broke will do that do you

Anyways~

The actual document name for this is "gay princes" so you can tell why I wanna work on this.

But not in your traditional "twink prince with thicc prince" couple, I wanted to make them both very masculine as I am tired of yaoi and BL having "traps" as ukes. Just feels gross sometimes, like the only gay people are the flamboyant ones.

So here's the synopsis(?):

Just as the kingdom is about to expect a new heir, their prince is thrust hundreds of years into the future, where there is nothing but civil unrest and conflict.

The cause of this conflict seems to be from a broken lineage, the prince's bloodline is no longer around, but how? The prince and princess were just about to have a child. When confronted by the new king of the era, the prince is told how his disappearance caused this disturbance. How the princess was wrongfully killed from the loss of her child. However, there was no loss of a child. The princess simply couldn't have children, a secret only kept by the King's lineage as they were her royal advisors.

The princess was the rightful ruler, but the prince took precedence and, in turn, the life of the princess. Hoping to right the wrong, the prince tries to return to the past to give the throne to it's ruler... perhaps he must leave to properly abdicate the throne.

writing is so silly because you have to maintain the understanding that you're not more specialer than anyone else and your work needs improvement and you have more to learn. but also you have to fully believe that your stuff is amazing. mindblowing. masterpiece the likes of which no one has ever seen before. you really have to hold these contradictory beliefs next to each other and force them to play nice. it's like shoving your shoulder angel and devil into a "get-along shirt." It doesn't make any sense. But if you don't, you're not going to get anywhere

You have to pursue what your writing Could Be with dogged determination while unflinchingly perceiving what it Actually Is. You have to accept that you're not more deserving or likely to succeed than any other writer, but you also have to love and honor and cling to your own specific mad genius because no one else is going to do it for you. Writing is really hard and it's also really worth it.

As much as I don't wanna write this, I just need to get it out somewhere...

I do struggle with love. Both in loving myself and anyone else. I want affection just like everyone else, but it doesn't come to me. When it does, it's fleeting and I'm unsure if it will ever remain.

Maybe I haven't actually learned to love myself, but I don't know what else there is to love. I've learned to love what others see, I've embraced the darker parts of myself, and want to improve myself always. I don't know how more self-love I can give.

I want something I can't give myself.

And it hurts to think I'll always only love myself and no one will feel the same.

Yo, to all the writers out there, rebolog this if you want me to read your stuff

I’ll try to leave a comment or ask, and I’ll get to as many as I can. Or if no one who writes sees this, then just have a good day

Tumblr PSA:

Idk how long this is going to be an issue. Maybe forever. But when you're tagging people in Tumblr posts, you need to start tagging them in groups of five. After each group, press enter and tag the next group in a new block. If you do not do that, all of the tags after the first five will not work.

I learned this the hard way.

Your tags need to be organized like this.

@/tag1 @/tag2 @/tag3 @/tag4 @/tag5

@/tag6 @/tag7 @/tag8 @/tag9 @/tag10

@/tag11 @/tag12 @/tag13 @/tag14 @/tag15

And so on.

Hopefully this doesn't last forever, but it's definitely the way you have to do it for now.

I think I opted against posting this because I was "happy" for a time, but for me, that never lasts and most the time it's never even real.

It's all just...

Motionless

Sometimes, I feel motionless and it is something I wish would never leave.

Other times, I feel motionless and want it to go away, to never return to me.

I don't control either of these feelings, but they show how I'm feeling better than I could ever explain.

Sometimes, I'm motionless and everything stops. My fears, stress, and anxiety all stop.

Almost as if whatever I was dealing with has ran its course and is behind me.

Other times, I feel motionless like the world is trapping me in my worries and the future I know nothing about.

Feeling motionless is something I wish would happen more often, but I also wish to cease as well.

I try not to take this for granted. The feeling that I need to stop and pause because there's no rush to get to the end. I should take my time and just be motionless when I need to.

That feeling that the next second I waste doing nothing is only trapping me in my difficult moments. That staying still will only be my downfall.

No matter which one passed my night away, it's happening to remind me of the things that are gone and the things that will come.

I promise to show this as much love as I possibly could, so here's the scene where this creature makes it debut!

The snowfield before them held a quiet they had never heard before. This silence stilled the air around them, seeming as though the land ran on it's own time. If they were unaware of this land's essence, they'd easily assume this to be a world of its own.

This quiet was broken when the mounds of snow beside them started to collapse to their sides. Each falling one by one until the field was viable in its entirety. Not so far in front of them, they saw the ground moving and before they had time to react they all flinched when the land erupted, with snow that covered it flying into the air.

"Is that it?" Lazarus said trying to clear his snowcapped vision.

As the snow fell, they saw into the clear blue sky and spotted a pair of fangs cutting into the sun. A coiling beast circled until the sun beamed behind it and there they saw drips of crystal blue leaking from the creature's underbelly.

"It has to be, but is that a wound of survival or freedom?" Cassie said.

"Or maybe that's the pain of losing itself." Tachi spoke softly.

As they watched the sky, they waited for the scales of judgement to answer their fears....

I wish I saw this sooner because it would have made my day! And without very much follow up to the design, I think you did wonderfully on picturing this creature! I especially love the detail of it being connected at the bottom and splitting there, that light blue cross stitch is my favorite part of this design. I didn't imagine that, but now I want make that apart of it's actual concept!

Thank you so much for giving my creation a beautifully inspired artwork! I really look forward to any other work you do and I wish you luck on your journey getting back into art! @krowfaced

Second raffle prize for @the-missann, featuring a Silph! I’m not so used to drawing after written descriptions, so it was definitely a challenge, but that’s just the secret ingredient to growth! I thought of two serpents conjoined by the lower mandible, where it also splits to the two halves. Thanks for your patience, and I hope you like it!
