First and foremost, I am a work in progress, so anything here is subject to change.

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

  • there are 14 asks in my inbox from the last ~5 days
  • 9 anons, 5 logged in users
  • ALL 14 show pfps, including the 9 anons
  • ALL THE SHOWN PROFILE PICTURES BELONG TO THE 5 LOGGED IN USERS

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

Wow, a bug ideal for creating maximum painful interpersonal drama.

Silly Game Time: Some Aliens and some residents of Atlantis are meeting for lunch at a lovely bistro inside the Bermuda Triangle. What is their conversation about?

The weather. Gas prices. The water polo game last night. Despite being highly advanced civilizations, neither is very good at cross-species small talk.

how do you go on to drawing character interactions without them looking stiff or awkward?? whenever u draw characters like hugging and stuff they always feel so warm and natural n like they have weight!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: if you want characters to feel like they have weight, they gotta have balance.

The second thing is to use references!! Use a mirror or photos when you can, but I often use duckduckgo and just google stock images. I don't use pinterest, but I suppose that works. I find it way more helpful to look at lots of images of the same pose at all different angles than to try to reference one specific image.

Best Character Stuck in a Timeloop

Propaganda for Flowey:

We don't see his resets directly but we know he's done this potentially hundreds if not thousands of times, doing every possible thing he can and pretty much losing sight of who he was at the start. His loops are fully self inflicted and he could've stopped any time he wanted (and frisk DID eventually fall down and take the timeline from him!), but he still remembers their resets, too. Second, worse timeloop go

------------------------------------

Not only does Flowey have timeloop trauma, that trauma makes him serve as a narrative foil to The Player Themselves. I know UT is overhyped but this is still the coolest thing ever to me.

Propaganda for Ángel:

dude experiencing a time loop but he's not the main character so sometimes he says things and the main character is like ???woah? and i think that's really fun.

------------------------------------

Wanted to be silly and see the guy who he bought a company for, was instead forced to watch the guy he fell in love with (plus his friend) die over and over again and lose all of the good memories they had together <\3 (btw play detective beebo it’s free on itchio!)

------------------------------------

( brief beebo spoilers in here-> ) Ángel is the only one that naturally remembers the loops (aside from the main antagonist). He has the energy of a wet cat. He's hopelessly in love with the protagonist and goes to drastic lengths to make sure he's safe. He wants to be a youtuber. He's into men. He says poggers and swag canonically in game to "connect with the kids" & is told to stop promptly after. He is thirty years old.

------------------------------------

Ángel propaganda:

•gay

•adhd

•trauma

•he used to be a jewelry thief called Dominion

•he's dating the detective that was really close(totally) to catching him one time. Said detective also dissed his theif outfit

•parental issues

•faked a will and stole his father's company

•wettest cat to ever wet

•gave away his company

•is a YouTuber named Seraphim777 now

•has an orange cat named Mozilla Firefox(well, it's Beebo's cat, but I'm counting it as a shared child)

•has beef with a child

Vote Ángel Valdivia pretty please
