I follow back from @/yradianydell. This is a sideblog.
I’m 30, He/They, and go by Syd.
I don’t typically RP stuff of a explicit sexual nature, however, for my own comfort, I prefer to RP with people who are 21+.
Zero-tolerance for any OOC queer-phobia, ableism, racism, Zionism, or sexism here. Mun is mixed indigenous. No one is entitled to my medical history or ancestry.
I use dice/D&D as writing tools for probability, chance, and skill check mechanics. If that bothers you, DNI. I will add rules as I find necessary.
ABOUT
Writing Etiquette:
I do not utilize writing rp or characters to get back at people.
I try to plot things out with other writers, feel free to message me in DMs and I'll give my D/iscord to mutuals.
I am Eastern Daylight Time- however, I work the late night hours, so activity may be sporadic and at odd hours.
I have never learned how to use the queue and I'm not about to start.
The one thing I hope CV:re keeps is the file where Hunk puts Ashford on blast for ignoring the hazard protocol for transporting a tyrant with a passive aggressive professional letter.
I'm Syd, 31 y.o. mixed indigenous artist and writer. I'm slated to go into surgery on July 2nd, 2026, and am trying to raise funds to assist with rent, groceries, and pet care while I am out of work, since I am the primary earner in my household. Any amount helps, and reblogs are appreciated.
Commissions (USD):
* Black and White Bust Sketch: $10
* 5 Simple Expressions: $30, + $15 for every subsequent 5 for the same character.
* Fully Rendered Bust Portrait (Person or Animal) : $75
Process:
I am very staunchly anti-AI, I don't use AI in any of my work. I use color palettes submitted to me by my commissioners because I am colorblind. I collaborate with commissioners and process black and white sketches until reaching a final design and rendering it. Below is an example of my process for a portrait commissioned by the lovely Elunoir <3.
Timeline:
Because I've been struggling with chronic fatigue, and don't know the extent of my workload, my timeline of getting rendered portraits done will likely be 1-2 months, worst case scenario, and depending on complexity. Sketches will usually be done within a week, and Expression Sheets will be a month. I'll be communicating if anything changes. I also work nights in the EDT timezone, so my communications may come at odd hours, thank you for your patience.
Payment/Donations:
I take payments and donations through Paypal, at paypal.me/yradianydell
Other Examples:
Below are examples of work that I've done previously for personal use, or gifts to friends, and examples of what I do.
First impression- I utterly enjoyed looking at your writing when I first saw your blog and was like wow this a really thought out Giovanni. I was a little nervous when we first started talking just cause new person but quickly found talking to you to just be super easy. You’re one of those people that talking to you is easy. I’ve enjoyed getting to write with you in Pokemon and here so much. You’re a fantastic friend and I am so so so utterly grateful for everything you’ve done for me and all the support you have given me. I cherish our friendship and I’m really happy to have gotten to know you.
First Impressions-
I'm very glad you got to hanging around! It's been very fun to play games and swap new interests! I'm happy to have helped you out too.
"Actually my group had no real choice but hoof it right through a checkpoint that had been commandeered by USS. Ended up that we had to take the squad out to live and get outta Raccoon. Can't believe a group of normies won that fight still. For a sec it really felt like that was impossible. Especially after a week straight of running. Couldn't get a quote from the guy, obviously."
"You know, it actually doesn't surprise me," Hawk said, folding his arms over his chest, "Umbrella Management was in a panic and completely unprepared for anything that scale. They were essentially throwing everyone into a meat grinder and hoping they wouldn't get made sausages."
He raised a thumb to his chin, "From what I remember, after they cut off Delta, they basically pulled all the reserve forces to finish the job. Waste of personnel and resources."
//Im gonna be real I was terrified of you when we first started interacting. It was the build-up to the first Area Zero game and I felt this weird anxiety to perform like a damn circus animal for what I know now was absolutely no reason.
This was all in my own head lmao, but god I’m so glad I eased the fuck up. I already went into length about how much we’ve accomplished over the last few years, but it’s been such a lovely time and I’m happier then I’ve ever been.
So happy and honored to be one of your players, and call you one of my best friends. Cheers to more years ❤️
First Impressions-
That makes me happy to hear! I'm so glad you gave a shot actually sitting down to come play with us, and stuck around! I loveee that we got to share RE with you and that you faced your fears to play through these games yourself! Very proud of you as a friend and as a writer!
first ,7 years ago impression ; this person is so cool and I think their knowledge of strahd is super impressive and were doing similar plots?! AWESOME. maybe we could play together!! And then we did as a test and we heard so much that we just kept playing together. SEVEN YEARS 💞. more to come. I think anything we do is gold. Thanks for holding my hand! (: we've done so much good.
WE HAVE! I really love getting to write so many dynamics and exploring the textures of relationships, different settings, big plots, and constantly placing down solid foundations to put building blocks on! Ever grateful for 7 years of friendship! Several more to come!
you are on the fast track of life, my friend. everywhere you go, you leave fires in your wake. you know how to spark conversation, stoke ideas, ignite long-lost passions. you’re not content with the way things are and are more interested in what they could be. you have so much you want to say and do. your worst fear is being stagnant. instead, you’re willing to brave the unknown in search of something that satisfies you. you’re ambitious and unafraid to go after exactly what you want. you are Newton’s unstoppable force, barreling forward and blasting through whatever obstacles you may encounter. when there’s no path you make your own—blazing a trail for others to follow. you are good at addressing issues head-on. no sense in sugarcoating or beating around the bush. you’re the one willing to wrangle the ugly truth and drag it out into the open. your boldness is something rarely found and appreciated by many. sometimes your one-track mind might lead to you developing tunnel vision. don’t forget to open your mind to the possibilities. life has so much to offer and you might miss out if you don’t give it a fair shot. some might see you as abrasive and too set in your ways. others will most likely admire you for your honesty and straightforwardness. others still are made uncomfortable by your unyielding heat. despite how you’re perceived, ultimately, you’re still you: passionate, direct, and dedicated. you don’t do things halfway—once committed, you follow things through to fruition even if you do get a little impatient. you are movement and boundless ambition. rough edges and fire. racing thoughts your mouth can’t keep up with and impulsive decisions. you make people want more. crave better. you are probably independent and find it hard to ask for help. remember to be kind to yourself and don’t burn yourself up in the process of trying to achieve your goals. known fact: you’re never truly alone in this life.
Raul is the eldest son of a couple whose union was not legal in the state of Florida at the time of his birth in 1965. His father was Mexican-American (and classified under legal purposes as "white") and his mother is Puerto Rican (classified as black) . He was considered illegitimate, and was hidden to conceal his parents' cohabitation until Loving vs Virginia ruled bans on interracial marriage unconstitutional in 1967.
He spent his childhood navigating the the ripples from the Civil Rights Movement, and desegregation, and having a lot of pressure to overcome several disadvantages to "make it" as a successful individual.
I'm Syd, he/they and in my thirties. I am mixed-indigenous American and currently working on reclaiming my language. I GM a few Resident Evil TTRPGS, and have done the same for other worlds, namely Pokémon, Greyhawk, and Ravenloft.
I am nocturnal, and you'll most likely find me active and reachable at night (EST).
I do digital painting, sometimes on commission, and I love painting portraits and items for people.
I'm an active advocate in my community and frequently work to keep watersheds clean and replant native species while removing invasives.
Assortment of facts:
- I've been struck by lightning four times.
- I'm colorblind.
- My perception of faces over time gets weird (prosopometamorphopsia)
- I have ASPD with Schizoid traits.
My close friends are the reason I'm here, but I have enjoyed broadening writing with others in general. Happy Monday.
