At the end of Everything, Hold onto Anything

Give that character a big nose. Give that character freckles. Give that character moles. Give them dimples give them acne give them big eyebrows give them a tooth gap give them eyebags please its good for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its enrichment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some of y'all fundamentally misunderstand my favorite characters but im being sooooo normal and mature about it. i haven't even killed anyone yet

my dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

hell yeahhh

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here

If tumblr dies DM me for my full home address and we can have a barbecue

flower meanings:

Enemies to lovers, but only one of them thinks they're enemies. The other has been entirely obsessed since the beginning.

Only acceptable way for me to read this trope

God yes, please!!!

Have some Yashiki and Mashita Sketches for this weekend!~

I changed a few things on some practice drawings I did for gesture and cloth studies and reworked them into these two. A more quick and simple work this time, because I'm currently dealing with some personal issues and hadn't had much energy to draw lately. But there's still a lot of WIPs lying around that I intend to finish at some point, so I'm not gonna run out of art to post in the near future at least.

Guess there's not much to say about these sketches. Exept, well, for Yashiki's picture I imagined a moment where he's about to change clothes and then notices "a certain someone" is watching him, hence the little sweat drop (because he's a bit caught off guard/embarassed?). Mashita is just in his usual serious mood. Maybe he's just about to get ready to leave for work and sees something that annoys him a little (maybe the news on TV or something?). I dunno, I just like drawing him with that serious expression, for some reason.

Anyway, hope you'll have a great week! Thanks for taking a look! :)

the only excuse I see from people who think it's okay to give fanfic writers unsolicited criticism is "if writers can't handle criticism, they should not be posting their works online" and tbh I think it's such a weak, pathetic excuse to be entitled.

someone not wanting unsolicited criticism on something they do for themself — for fun, as a form of self-care — out of love and passion has nothing to do with whether or not they can handle criticism. because we're not talking about a job they get paid to do. we're talking about a damn fanfiction. a hobby. something writers do in their free time as their source of comfort and getaway.

it's their art. not yours. it can be whatever and however an author wants it to be.

instead of trying to justify your action by gaslighting writers — whose works you read for free — that they "should be able to handle unsolicited criticism", ask yourself why you feel the need to go to someone's fic, read it, and then complain about things you don't like when you can always quietly leave if you don't have anything nice to say.

"can fanfic writers handle unsolicited criticism?" "can you learn basic manners and how not to be entitled?"

either respect artists or shut the fuck up forever.

I hate the phrase "pregnant pause" but I love the phrase "aborted gesture." tells you everything you need to know about MY politics

i fear the situation is dire
