Wasabi Rambels - Tumblr Posts

Okey, I'll be completly honest with you now - I'm terrified.

I'm scared of making and posting NoP as a series. The ideas that I want to do are a total mess and I don't know if I can sort them out and do something of them. If I can do it right

And what if this dosen't work out? What if people end up hating it? Some people can give a constrictive critique and the other will make fun of it.

I'm especially nervous, because it's my first project like this and it means a lot to me. I want others to enjoy it. I want to see all those creative things that you all can do out of it. This is my biggest dream. See people love NoP as much as I do

I'm still gonna do that tho. My doubts will not step in my way to making my dreams come true. I just afraid of the future

Real life story + writing tip

While writing one of my characters, I've decided to give him a redemption arc and based him on two other characters (mostly their arcs), which was Hunter from "The Owl House" and Hugo from the "Varian and the Steven Kingdoms, and mixed it with the personality he already had. And you know what?

And I liked what I wrote for him.

And it was enough for me.

But, at some point, I didn't wanted to make him typical 'sad boi, with tragic past and horrible family". So I re-wrote him. But he still seemed too wacky and loser-y to me. So I re-wrote him again. And again. And again, and again, and again. I was writing him over and over all again and it still seemed not good enough to me. No matter how hard I've tried. It just wasn't enough for me

And before I realised. . . I've came to a point, where I started to feel like I lacked writing skills and I've broke his character. I've tried do hard to make it good, that it went the other way around.

But it wasn't skill, that I was lacking

It was ability to tell myself "stop"

I was so focused on making this certain character good, that I've overlooked the whole story - and how great the whole thing is coming together

Together. Not only this singular character, but all of them where making it good enough

I forgot to not push myself just for the sake of the story

And, fellowes, I telling you too, don't try too hard

Just don't. Sometimes your minimum is your best. If you going to push yourself up to a point where you start to hate your work, questioning your writing and fell miserable while doing something, that should give you joy, it's just not worth it

In that case it's better leave it as is it, see what happens and learn from your mistakes

It's so much better than destroying your story and yourself

So don't try too hard

Please

Do any of you got this weird fear that as your art/writing/stuff in general get more popular, you'll stop making any effort to make it better and just rest on your laurels?

I do.

Even before I've started posting I was afraid that I going to do terrible things when I become more known for my thing(s), and unable to take any criticism (like Vivziepop, or worse, politicians)

I know it's a strange thing to be afraid of, but I'm worrying about that type of stuff the most and. . . Yeah

I WAS BORED AND WANTED TO DRAW ANIMAL HYBRIDS AND LEOPARD SEALS ARE SOMETHING E L S E

LOOK AT IT

YOU TELLING ME THIS

IS THE ANIMAL I SHOULD BE SCARED OF!?!?

THIS IS THE ANIMAL THAT MAKES PENGUINS DISAPPEAR IN UNEXPLAINED CIRCUMSTANCES!?

THIS THING!?!?

IT LOOKS LIKE KAREN COMPLAINING ABOUT HER BURGER IN THE FANCY-ASS RESTAURANT NOT A UNDERSEA CARNIVORE KILLING MACHINE!!!

"MOOØÔÆM!!! Thereß A WEIRD FUCKING CAT OUTSIDE!"

"DRAAAAAÆĀÂAAWWWWW me like one of your french seaæls, Jack"

This

Is not an animal

This is a fucking sea blob

Is it weird that sometimes I'm scared that I'll let go off NoP? Like, bc people won't take on it, or bc I'll get invested on something else. I'm worried especially 'cause I'm have a big problem with ending my projects, or loosing my interest on them. I might do NoP for like 3 years now, but I have never done something so big like an animated series, with polt and stuff.

What if I'll fail? What if I'll give up? I don't want to, NoP is too impornant too me to do so. . .

I'm so worried

Tw// slight vent, long post

I can't force all you to read it, but I would really appreciate if you do (no push tho)

I feel like I could post more art. Like I should. Because you followed me for my art and I still don't post as much drawings as should. I feel like I owe this to you and I'm breaking the promise I made at the start of the year.

But now I realised. . . it's not really the art I worry about.

Because as happy as I am seeing all the love towards my art (seriously, this is crazy how much you like it), I made this blog for the NoP specifically. And I didn't only wanted to share my story with you. I wanted to see people making art about it. I wanted hang out with and talk with you about it. I wanted to see people love it as much as I do. To have my own little community of NoP, where I would belong! But it feels like I've failed. . .

Because you like my art, but I'm not sure if you like NoP (no pressure if it's not your cup of tea, ofc. Not everything is for everyone ,:) )

But, if I want something I don't give up so easily

So, to achive my goal, I wanted to post more NoP. Which sounded easy

It wasn't

My plan was to make more comics where I would show you character personalities and relationship with eachother. But something always seemed to stand in the way. In the middle of making comic I realised the character was out of character, the other one turned out to be too hard to make, and so goes on and on.

But, I still kept pushing myself. Because there's always have been this thought that if I want others to love something, they need to meet this. And while it's true. . .

It was an endless circle

I started to feel like I should draw NoP first, until I'll draw anything else, and because I wanted to post as much NoP as possible, it turned out I didn't allowed myslef draw stuff I was interested in at the moment. And sacrifice it for the sake of NoP. And I was pushing, and pushing, and pushing myself SO HARD that I just. . . Burned out.

I tried to do so much things as fast as I can't (literally, I can't do stuff fast) and ended up crying when I couldn't draw anything, no matter how much I've wanted to. And I didn't wanted to go for a hiastus because I've already have been on two and made almost nothing I should, 'cause missed posting so much that I've ended up returning and just going for the another break would make you irritated. Disappointment.

And now I'm. . . Here. Tired, with no art to show you, and after some realisations and conffesions.

Before you go there's one more thing I want to say - I didn't meant this post to sound "Ugh, you all don't want to like my story??? And now I'm burned out and upset?????? UGH, It's all YOUR fault, followers. And ONLY. YOURS and not my pushing to do stuff I don't want to/I can't do at the moment! UGHHH😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬"

No, this post was to explain how I felt at the moment and why so many promised art has never arrived

You can follow me 'cause you like my art. I'm glad you do! I just want to spread love for NoP. It was my dream for nearly 4 years. But if you don't like it, you don't like it. It happens too! It's okay, Bun, you can just vibe here if you want to vibe. You're always welcome here ^^

(Also, here's my fanart blog where I also take requests. I not guarantee I'll do ALL of them, but I'll gladly take your propositions)

Thank you for reading, stay safe and hydrated and Cheers!

You know what?

I was thinking about soundtrack for NoP for the longer time and as I had the sounds in my head, I couldn't really name the idea

But I think I'm finally got it

🍂🍂🍂

When I first was wondering about it, I had something like "Jazz music, but not really". And even I didn't knew, what in the world's name that supposed to mean

But, as I said, I got it at least

So basically I think the music would apply very basic/common instruments - piano, trumpet, violin, cielo, etc.

But not only!

I think it would be super cool, if not only instruments but simple things, like glass bottles, feet/boots stomping, would play in the sound, to add the rythm to all this

I didn't hear any other series/movie using this motive and it would (Chat, start counting word "would" from now on) add this old, sentimential war city vibe

🍂🍂🍂

It's not a secret, that movie music changes depending on the mood of the scene

But!

You know what would really fit NoP? If in the more silly/funny sytuations would play one instrument and let's say, clapping and boot stomping.

Like here, for example

(I know those are neither clapping or boots, but shhhhhhh 🤫)

But in a more serious moments would play instruments like violin and a rattle (I think this is how it is called) to show how nervous are characters in this scene

Example

And in tragic moments the only one instrument would play, echo following it, to make it sound almost like an a capella

Like, image Piro wandering through the destroyed town and this is playing the background

🍂🍂🍂

Sadly, those are all the ideas I have for now. Maybe I'll do a part 2 if I'll come up with something new for this, but I'll not promise anything

Okay, that's all, stay safe, byeeeeee!

Thanks, I will 🫡

But do you want to know what is motive behind the "multi-arms" one? Arachno is a spider so I gave him six arms to resemble it. But He's hard to draw so I often was just didn't drew the two extra pairs to see his body (also because I never knew what pose should I put them in). Which effected me in a negative way. Because now I CAN'T REMEMBER TO PUT THE TWO EXTRA PAIRS OF ARMS ON HIM

A SPIDER MAN

I CAN REMEMBER TO DRAW HIS SIX ARMS. HIS MOST CHARACTERISTIC THING BESIDE THE EARS

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?

Chat, I think I know what I'm gonna draw-train next – face shapes and frickin' multi-arms

I want to show all of NoP to you. I want to show you how Mizo's change. I want to show you Amnesio's past. I want to show you how those kids laugh and cry and fight for eachother no matter what.

But, at the same time, I want to keep it all to myself. In my head, all those things seem weirdly free. Like butterflies, that I can let go and watch them fly away. Like a dream, that is only for my eyes to see.

I want to show you nothing and everything at once.

Just like that.

The small doodle of these two that I made yesterday. I need to draw them more. Much more

Also, this doodle kinda helped me realise what type of chaotic Amnesio is. Her chaoticness kicks in when she needs the job to be done and when the idea of how just pop in her head, she goes "brilliant" and instandly makes the idea into action, where Piro just likes to mess with people as he finds it funny And rather knows what he's doing isn't very safe or not gonna end well, Ami, I think, is not aware of the craziness of her ideas and often is the reason they got into trouble (don't worry tho, Piro is also not bad at it).

I don't know what is this ramble, I just needed to write this down somewhere

(Do me a favor - reblog instand of leaving a kudo. I appreciate both, but reblogs will help spread my work around))

Tw: Vent. Like, an angry one.

You know what? I'm tired.

I can't post anything plot revelant, that would attract people to get interested in NoP. I can't draw anything to show how those characters are and how they act around eachother. I can't make anybody to send me an ask, because you know almost N O T H I N G about NoP.

I'm so bad at posting.

To a point where Endo had to ASK ME if there's any villains in my story.

To a point where Foxi didn't even KNEW PIRO! (Foxi, if you see this, no shame on you, it's my fault)

I'VE ALWAYS KNEW I'M BAD AT THIS, BUT, HOLY SHIT, NOT T H I S BAD!

I can't draw any comics, not because I don't want, but because I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD AND IT COMES OUT TERRIBLE AND I NEED TO STOP AND I NEVER COME BACK TO IT

It's an cycle that never ends, with guilt that never stops. Am I. . . Traped?

Hello, my name is Wasabi and I to announce something

I'm. . .

Married 🕊️💍(for jokes and sillys)

@yunfox00 is officaly my new babygirl

I hate this urge to starting slef-promoting myslef, because I'm so desperate for someone to notice and talk with me about NoP. Those few days arę hard for my blog, as not many people see my posts and I still seem to stuck with drawing things for it. I

miss asks. I want to be silly about my NoP. But I can't force people to do it. And now I can't really do anything about it

So, here I am, just sitting and longing for the better winds to come

YES! YES!

So lately I was thinking about the way I going to show death scenes in NoP. I almost always new I don't want any impornant part of the cast to die, but the terrible thing in war is all the things and people we loose in it. So, obviously, some sacrifices had to be done.

But there's was one problem. I have gore and I extremely uncomfortable with death, especially with my kinda traumatic that I would rather not share right now.

So, the only logical solution to this was to in an artistic way

My first thought was to make scene where, for ex.,: someone is shooting the other person dead in black and white, lineless artstyle

But, a quite long time later something came to mind: what if the damage, both physical and emotional, would effect the artstyle or even completly change it?

Like when someone dies, how does it feel for the person frome the side? Is the time slowes down? Or maybe it's moving too fast? In any sound coming through to them? Can I show it in art?

So I started coming out with the ideas.

I was thinking about using some sort of mixed media to achive this effect. Like really bad, sketchy animation for when a character's thoughts are a mess and their head feels like it was about to spilt in half (look up illynimation to get the visual idea) , or the aquarelle painting for memories

"Chłopi", 2023 ↑

or many, many different artstyles in very fast movetion when a character reaches their breaking point

It's all interesting ideas I have for this, but I have a quite few ideas about other aesthetics of the series that I would love to imply in NoP

Do you wanna hear me yap about NoP a bit?

👉👈 It's okay if you're not in the mood for this or don't want to, I understand :<

YEAH

If you scared that your request won't be done, you have nothing to worry about - my ask box is practicly empty and I will gladly take your ideas - I know you don't know most of these characters, but this is why I want to do this challange - so you can at least see how those characters look like.

You iny ask box will make me more that ecstatic, because I made this blog for my story and not beging able to tell you about it without beging feeling left out because not many people see/react to my posts

So please, I beg of you, join in

@yunfox00 @glitchyk sorry for tagging you guys, but I'm so desperate right now, you have no idea

Nykto

Ozzy

Osso

Theo

(Those are only the characters that I have name for)

I know you don't know most of these characters, but that the fun of it - you not quite sure what you'll get >:D GO JOIN IN

I want to ramble about NoP or something, but there's no thoughts - head empty. Like Dogo's after his arc and Nykto's 13/5

Yeeeey, I love you

Okay, so, the basic plot is pretty much that Piro lives with his alcohol addicted dad in a village where he has a reputation of a hooligan and a. . . monster

But after (another) unfortunet indcident, Piro gets into a huge fight with his father and comes through his final braking point. He packs his things. And runs away.

His plan is simple - jump on a train, go as far away from this shithole as possible and start living some normal life like you should to.

But as life like to say "sike", he ends up in Devil Town - a city occupied by the army of the Italian Facists - and meets Amnesio. Who turns out to be just like him. And who's crazy enough to want fight with the town's occupant, for her. . . Personal reasons. And when she ask him to take part in this madness, desperate Piro wills to join in.

They can't even imagine, what did they just started.

NoP is full of action, mystery and weird-ass ideas, but it's not only this.

It's mainly a story about Family; Not the one you're related to by blood or who calls themself that, but the one you find somewhere in the way - Family, that would do anything for you and who are there for you, no matter how much you've fucked up. It's about people like you, who are somewhere out there in the world, waiting for you. All you need to do is jump that train and look around.

But it's also about the smaller things. About growing up and healing your inner child. About forgivness. About searching for yourself and finding your place on earth.

It's about all the ups and downs and "I help you"s and "Let's go home"s

It's NoP

Foxi, My Love, My Darling, My Whole Universe, My Poem In the Making, can you give me some speculations/questions about NoP? I need to ramble about my thing, please 🙏🥺

1. WHAAAAA

2. You're just saying that. Also wdym "poem in the making"?

3. You're doing this on purpose aren't you.... I'm getting flustered AUGH-

4. Uhhhhhhhhhh what is it about? (I just kinda look at the art but never knew what it's about)

I've realised the ending for NoP finally and, if everything will go as planed, we all are going to cry do ugly LMAO

My toxic trait is that I like getting notes so much, that sometimes I need to turn off the notifs or I'll be anxious that nobody is reacting to my stuff

Like, GIRL, Those are real people. They have their own lives, Heck, their own blogs often even!

What do you want from them!? They won't react to every single post you make hchcbdbxhchchcbxvbxhx

Nykto promised herself she'll never wear a dress again, unless it'll be nescesary. I guess that wearing dresses almost whole your life does this to a girl haha

Also, fun fact: Arachno won't mind wearing a dress or a skirt. He just dosen't have a reason to for now

Also I think yesterday I unintentionally made a design for Royal Kay because like— technically she has a crown and stuff, like, normal Kay, but she just.. doesn’t wear it. It feels like showing off and shit
