55. They will like having an identity again. Try not to cry when they smile.

I read this fic where Richter brings Aster back to life and this scene made me tear up so of course I had to draw it

Hi, I’m the author and I literally cried, oh my god, thank you so much!

This art is so gorgeous and perfectly captures what I had in mind for that scene! My heart is still beating so fast, I’m not even sure I can ever express how happy this has made me. I write a lot of weird stuff under this pseudonym, but I’m working on original fiction under a different one, and writing is, as most writers know, very difficult, especially starting out. Seeing fan art for my fanfic gives me so much hope that someday my original fiction will do just as well, and honestly, that makes a lot of what I’ve gone through feel so worth it.

It’s incredibly validating to see someone enjoy my work so much that they produced such a brilliant piece of art to go with it, and I’m having a hell of a time processing it. It’s gorgeous, and I’m so glad my work achieved a level that was good enough to inspire such a beautiful rendering. I can’t praise it enough. I see so much rad artwork for DotNW on the JP side of the fandom, and it’s so hard to find because a lot of it is untagged on twitter and I don’t speak enough Japanese to know how to ask for it. The last time I saw fan art inspired by an English fic for DotNW was ages ago on deviant art for a fic that no longer exists on the web. And I remember reading the fic and being like “Yeah, I totally get how this deserves fan art!”

So just… being that person right now is an immense honor, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it. My heart is just swollen with so much love and affection and pride that my work has been immortalized in such a beautiful piece. Someone with so much talent saw what I wrote and put tremendous time and effort and skill into this piece because I made something worthwhile. I’m just beyond touched.

I can’t say thank you enough. This is a blessing and I will cherish this. I’m gonna pin this on my blog and just… love it forever, because I don’t know what else I can do for it. I’m just so happy!

I am extremely online but in like the Loser Way. if you try to make me use instagram or tiktok I fumble around with it like a grandma who has never seen a phone before. if you send me a tumblr screenshot however, I will tell you that not only have I already seen the original post but that I’m mutuals with OP

“real life” people I know like coworkers, extended family, etc all have me on Facebook which I visit maybe once every four months to post something extremely normie like a cat or landscape photo. To them I am the peak, blissfully offline, not on instagram or tiktok, only checking Facebook three times a year.

If only they knew the truth.

One time when I was in college (during the peak of the Pigblr community), a classmate who knew I had guinea pigs called me over to look at his phone and showed me a Popular Funny Guinea Pig Meme he’d happened across online. My response to the accompanying image was “awww, that’s-” and proceeded to name every guinea pig in the photo as well as share some information about their owner and her blog.

My classmate almost chucked his phone across the room in bewilderment.

Having headcanons is so fun because sometimes you’ll be like “I believe Blorbo suffered childhood trauma, specifically abandonment and ostracism from their community, and this is the reason they took X action in canon. I base this off these brief but telling conversations they had with others in five different episodes, plus their reaction when Skrimblo disappeared for two days.”

But then also sometimes you’ll say “I think Glup Shitto is lactose intolerant.”

some of you just need to pick up more hobbies outside media consumption. knit some scarves. have some gay sex

Does reading fanfiction count?

reading fanfic is literally media consumption……….. but idk who you are so idc what you do

So. Do *books* count as media consumption? And if not, why is fanfiction “media” but fiction or nonfiction books not?

It is never a bad thing to read and to have that as your hobby. And given you can easily enlarge print for fanfics and other online books, or use screen readers, it allows for increased accessibility for those with visual problems.

oh my fucking god just go outside

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON’T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

boy it’s me the textiles speaking to you inside your head. you need the yarn. you need thread. your soul hungers to participate in the act of creation. you must feed it. you must buy so many beads.

“Marked”: Tea Egg

(Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, Gouache Blender. 5 colors, 45-ish minutes.)

I wasn’t really sure what a tea egg was before I drew this, I’d just heard of it in passing before. I figured they involved cooking the egg with tea but wasn’t 100% sure on the process. But yeah, you par-boil them, crack them, and then boil them the rest of the way in tea or a spiced liquid to flavor the egg. I had errands today so I didn’t study the pattern of the cracks too closely but I feel like this is a good vibes-based first attempt. I saw another similar sort of egg that I intended to do for Halloween, that has this sort of look, so I’ll try to focus more on the shapes of the cracks and how the cooking liquid dyes the whites.

But for a first attempt at this sort of pattern, I like it!

Hopefully @lady-quen’s breadbugs like tea!

Slapping the @ for @quezify and prancing off to do some nonsense before bed.

But first, the speedpaint!

Feeding my desire to draw shiny as much as possible with this one. I love rendering the undisturbed exterior of a boiled egg. So smooth. The crackle is the point but I really like the base egg I made here and putting that reflected light on it.



Welcome to the Mind of a Madgod...
Herein lies the most insane, fanciful, logic of a gamer, epic bard, and artist. This is a personal blog, and will be NSFW sometimes. I really love Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, particularly Richter Abend, Emil Castagnier, and Aster Laker. I write fan fiction for them, and you may have read some on FFN, AFFN, DeviantART, or AO3. I also RP as Richter, Emil, and Aster. I also draw fan art and original art from time to time. I'm very friendly and my askbox is always open! Enjoy my blog!
