Old man just wants to go to sleep more at eleven

I have a confession to make: I have always considered you my daughter.

[milflaralorvan-deactivated20231]

controversial take but i think discussions about guilt tripping for reblogs should extend to art and writing. i know from personal experience how bad it stings when you pour your heart and soul into something and nobody seems to care about it the way that you do, but that's also, like, part of making art? building the resilience you need to keep going even when your stuff isn't getting a ton of attention is part of becoming a better artist, and i can't think of a safer place to learn that skill than in fandom spaces where it's hard to monetize anything we make and the feedback culture is generally encouraging

like you can complain about it, absolutely, grousing about your favorite works being underappreciated is a time-honored tradition! just don't put your insecurities over your art on other people

Here, some doodles from my sketchbook of the qsmp faves <3

An Increasingly Frustrated Pokemon Trainer who wants a Sylveon but he isn’t emotionally equipped enough to understand the nuanced difference between friendship and affection so he just has like 13 Espeons and Umbreons

[atreefullofstars]

He ties ribbons around their necks and clips them on their ears, and never thinks they’re good enough. He ignores them when they rub against him for pets, focusing on his newest Eevee, so tiny and soft and full of potential. He keeps trying, and trying, and every time he sees black instead of pink and his face falls. Or he perks up at a glimpse of a paler color--but no, that’s the wrong shade, and there’s the forked tail, and he is even more crestfallen.

Until one day he gives up on a Sylveon. It’s never going to happen for him. He slams the door, and cries with his head in his hands, and can’t stand to look at the warm, soft bodies pressing against his back, rubbing against his knees.

He can’t stand to look at the ribbons and bows. He avoids the Pokemon for two days and then, in one explosive burst of frustration, he takes all the bows, stuffs them into the trash--only just managing to keep his trembling hands gentle on soft necks and ears. It’s not their fault. He knows it’s not. It’s his. He rubs a black ear, worried that it might be sore. It’s his fault.

He pets them more. It’s not their fault they’re not what he wanted. He feeds them, and restarts the training sessions that had ended when each one evolved. He doesn’t know their movesets; he starts reading. He learns what he can ask from them, and then learns from them too: which one would rather Quick Attack than use Confusion, which has a Mean Look that freezes even him in place. It’s fun. It’s more fun than it ever used to be, when he followed all the best training manuals so anxiously. They respond, growing and learning and butting into them for pets that he sheepishly gives them.

It’s inevitable, with thirteen of them in the same place, that eventually two would breed. He holds the tiny Eevee in his cupped palms. So soft. So warm. He knows which Espeon gave her those extra-long ears and which Umbreon is responsible for her round little nose. He is fascinated.

He pets her. He holds her. He watches her try to mimic the others and he smiles when they high-step over her or when they lift her by the scruff. She joins in on training sessions and for a moment there’s the thought--but she’s having fun copying one of her aunties and he’s not going to change that. She learns what she likes because she likes it. She’s the happiest Eevee he’s ever trained, and he doesn’t need her to be anything else.

But she changes, of course. Children grow up and Pokemon evolve. Espeon, he thinks when she changes in daylight, when he sees a pale coat--but no, that’s the wrong shade--

He is dumbfounded. The rest of them are not. They crowd around, pushing him and Sylveon together, pressing against both of them until everyone is one pile of fur and waving tails. He laughs and hugs her first--and then the nearest Umbreon, and the next.

He is happy, of course. But not because of what she is. He's glad that it means she’s happy. And she is happy. He gets the sense, watching her examine her own ribbons, that she became exactly what she wanted.

Maybe he should start keeping some stones in the house. It’s inevitable, with fourteen Eeveelutions around, that they’re going to keep breeding, and the next Eevee might want something different.

I did not expect to be sitting here at 2:20pm at work in tears over a Pokemon flashfic, but I'm devastated by the first half and so happy for them all and I legit don't know what to do other than to schedule it to share.

For AO3 readers, I'm linking directly to it so you can show it some love there too: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43255018

Obligatory 413 post :)

Happy 26th birthday to John Egbert! The cake is for tradition, but the pie is for him.

[artificialentgrove]

heheheheheheh doomsday

[artificialentgrove]

some rough danny phantom art I made for a fic I’m working on- I’ll link the fic once I’ve started posting it, but it is already way more ambitious than i intended XD

[artificialentgrove]

Well I made this ages ago and never posted it

So uh

Here you go? A very orange Aziraphale with brush textures that please me greatly

[artificialentgrove]

This took so long!!! I have dithered over the colors for literal hours at this point :T Still, I love how the statues turned out– I’ve always found those things to be super creepy, even with the pixel art of the original Legend of Zelda, so I really wanted an excuse to draw them. So here we go! Wind and fairy!Hyrule adventuring through a Zelda 2 palace!

Based on the awesome fic Crimson Ties by turtleduckcrossing, which you should totally go read. https://archiveofourown.org/works/21433534

[artificialentgrove]

Well my stylus is missing but apparently I can still futz with existing things as long as I don’t have to like draw a steady line or anything so

Here! Have a debatably better version with more color to it that I just spent like half an hour tweaking. (Amazing how much easier it is to spot what i don’t like when I haven’t looked at the piece in months)

I mean I like my original one, but I like this better. It’s sharper. Idk.
