Brooke's Blog of Stuff

@brookepagebe

23 years old | She/They | Demigirl, Transgender & Bi | I will post about things I like, about cartoons (RWBY, SPOP, TDP, EoA), videogames (Fire Emblem, Persona, Ace Attorney), Star Trek, LGTB content, comic books, some movies or series, maybe a song. I don't know ;)

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.

  1. I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.

2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)

3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited

Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.

  1. Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).
  2. Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.

Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.

the moral is peace and love on planet earth. and getting stuff made specifically for you unprompted is cool as fuck

evidence for half-baked theory: if you take the inspiration you've been given and follow it, in the intention with which it was given, you'll get (and beget) more.

Emma doodle

An old redesign of mine.

I've followed your Patreon for a few years, and I think this might be the only art of Emma that doesn't have an nsfw version.

There's a couple of them on there but for the most part drawing Emma in character means there could be a NSFW and it would fit so may as well.

ID: a poster affixed to a bulletin board. On the poster is written a poem, first in Arabic, and then the English translation.

The translation reads as follows:

"In order to write non-political poetry,

I must listen to the birds,

And in order to hear the birds,

I must silence the plane.

— Marwan Makhoul"

End image description.

poem in Arabic:

لكي أكتب شعراً ليس سياسياً

يجب أن أستمع إلى العصافير

و لكي أسمع العصافير

يجب أن تخرس الطائرة

(مروان مخول)
