Venting my writing woes
Sometimes I get stuck when writing. There are two ways for that to happen for me.
First, have a place where I want my characters but not sure how to get there. I can force myself to write still, but I usually don't like it as it is a struggle to get words out.
Second and worse in my opinion is when I have no idea where I'm going in a story. I read over the story and my brain just stops. There is no ideas, no progression, nothing. No matter the positive comments, the people who want me to write more, I just can't. There's nothing and I hate it.
That's why I have so many unfinished stories on Fan fiction dot net and the same ones on Archive of Our Own. I just can't wring anything else out of my stupid brain! So I move on to a different idea and write that.
I kind of wish people would give me ideas on where to go. Don't get me wrong, I love the positive reinforcement! But I sometimes feel that I'm letting people down because I just CAN'T GET MY BRAIN TO COOPERATE!
So I'm sorry. I'm promise I'm trying. Please know that I don't like leaving stories hanging for months or years. My brain just gets fixated on certain things for a while and then moves on to the next obsession and just won't go back. I'll do my best to progress the stories in the next year.
So I tried to make an Opress bros dating sim but uh.. I found out that it's way too much work! So here are some of the assets I made for it.

My love for them knows no bounds.
Oh man, this has been months in the making. It’s finally done. This song only ever reminds me of the Opress brothers, and I couldn’t get the idea out of my head. (Tw: blood) Comic below~

Now I sleep and prep the next one because I can’t help myself, apparently. Click for full resolution!
Song: Roots by In This Moment

Original Music Video
The concept of Sith Kenobi won’t leave me alone. And while I love the swap of factions for him and Maul, bruv, Sith Obi-Wan AND canon Maul is burrowing itself into my drawing spaces, and I just—
Dooku managing to turn Obi-Wan on Geonosis?
The consequences of losing the Great Negotiator at the start of the War?
The consequences of an abandoned Anakin?
Renegade Ventress? Meeting this fellow fallen Jedi in Obi-Wan?
Savage and Feral very much alive, with their brother living in darkness on Lotho Minor?
Mother Talzin making plans?
Oh no. I have ideas. Oh no.
Oh no.

I like to think they saw snow somewhere, and just for a moment, rage gave way to wonder.
Happy Life Day 🌟
Oh gosh i love it 🥺
Zabraks purr when they’re happy…Maul does not know he can do this. (head cannon by @loveoaths)

Maul: i despise all forms of love and affection. I am nothing but an amalgamation of spite and menace,
Also maul: lets feral use him as a mattress.
I just suddenly had this mental image of feral napping on mauls metal legs. The symbolism is making me crazy. Its a terrible place to sleep, its cold and unyielding, yet feral persists. Maul cant feel him through the prosthetics, get he finds it comforting.

The Republic is investigating my numerous warcrimes. But i stay silly :3
I am so sorry I need to do this.
Jedi!Maul eye color
I'm a really big fan of Jedi!Maul idea (if anybody interest in this topic I recommend to check out @genifer-championofpaldea's writings and @scuttlebuttin's arts). I always wondering how would he look without his iconic sith eyes. So tried out things.
Ok, change the eye color. But what color?
Blue of course!
But what shade?
Well Savage had a really interesting eye color, before his transformation. So I took his eye color as a reference:
(yes I know this picture is too bright, but I really like this color, so I stayed with that).
Now I have the reference so we can jump on the fun things!
Original clip:
With Savage's eye color:
Wow, okay that looks pretty good.
TRY WITH OTHER CLIP!
Original clip:
With Savage's eye color:
Okay I love it! Jedi!Maul would be amazing with blue eyes.
But what if I take Feral as reference? He is also Maul's brother, why don't we try it?
For reference:
(yes, yes again too bright, but now I have reason and I will tell later.)
So try with it with this color:
Original clip:
With Feral's eye color:
Not a wow feeling, but he looks softer with this color.
Try with the other clip:
Original clip:
With Feral's eye color:
Again not a big change but looks softer.
Why I made the reference too bright/light?
Well it is a little bit bittersweet.
Feral's reference if I stay with the original which is that:
And if we compare this picture with Maul:
Yep that's the problem. They (almost) have the same eye color.
And it's bittersweet (maybe just for me) to see how similar they are.
Well I would stay with the blue color but it was fun too try out other ideas.
So thanks for the attentions!

Maul with Brothers and cat (Chicken Foot)
"Hey guys, I made some cookies for dessert. I hope you like the blumfruit ones, it's a new recipe :)".
Savage hasn't even sat down to eat! He's been cooking all evening and he just brought a batch of tasty cookies! Now, the kitchen can become really warm after using the oven nonstop, and clothes tend to become... rather bothersome.
One would think that Maul, a chest displaying connoisseur wouldn't even bat an eye at the sight of his shirtless brother, but the truth is, up until now he had only seen him wearing his armor! "Where the kriff did his clothes go?", he thinks to himself. Feral, on the other hand is quite familiar with this kind of situation and doesn't even notice. "Thank you for the great meal, Savage ♥" he says politely. He's one lucky zabrak :).
Now, here's the thing. . . . Here's how he actually showed up 🥴 🥴
go ahead, shame me!! the mischief is done >:)!! Sorry for the lazy backgrounds, I'm kinda dead after working on this, for several reasons.
