♡ A Little About Me ♡

I am a second year college student who loves the arts: Theater, Art, Dance, Music, Writing and more. I major in Theater Performance and Minor in dance. That being said I am a very busy person.

I try to upload when I can, because when you grow up on the internet it can become an essential part of you. I've always looked up to

Content Creators (Markiplier, Jacksepticeye...)

Animators(SirFluff, GinjaNinjaOwO, GH's...)

Story Time Artists (oddonesout, jaidenanimations, katzun...)

and singers (Caleb Hyles, CG5, DAGames, Or30, JTMusic...)

I have always wanted to create and put things of my own on the internet, and this is me doing just that!

I hope you guys enjoy whatever I upload! Please be kind, and respectful. If you have questions or random asks feel free to send them in. I'll respond as soon as I can <3

☆ Thank You So Much! ☆

he would not fucking say that, but with disability.. he would not fucking be able bodied. sick n tired of characters walking away from multiple life changing injuries without a scratch. let’s get some natural consequences in here.

give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.

while we’re at it, give your characters congenital disabilities too, just because. give them intellectual and development disabilities. give them acquired and postviral illnesses. dare to make somebody bedbound. for me.

[babmaoau]

For you. I will do it for you.

[brawlite]

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

[babmaoau]

QUICK PSA

I have a problem with ramblingggg! So, as a result, the chapters I put out will usually range from 2,000 words minimum, to 10,000 words maximum!

rn, the longest chapter I believe I have is Chapter 4 (over 9,000 words), which is Cup-Bro centric, so I doubt anyone will complain about that since we love our little primary color duo, but still.

If the chapters ever feel like word vomit, rather than important to the story, please let me know, and specify what parts it feels as such. i am a FIRST TIME WRITER, so i am bound to make mistakes! I.E., long as fuck chapters.

However, there's a lot I want to cover in this universe! So keep this in mind as well! The chapters are also long, as to minimize the AMOUNT of chapters I have.

Right now, I'm aiming to cap it at 100 chapters, as I've seen a lot of complaints about Inky Mystery being way too long and that's what deters people from reading it (to which i say PLS GIVE IT A CHANCE I HAVENT READ IT BUT I HEARD ITS GOOD SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE-)

Anyways! That's just a little announcement on my end!

Chapter's 4-7 have been successfully drafted, and chapter's 4-5 have been read over once! Once again, if you guys wish to be a beta reader, let me know!

[babmaoau]

College semester is overrr! Here comes summer!

Chapters 4-7 are currently in the works of being drafted, cleaned, and published!

If there are some individuals who wish to be beta readers to help me speed up the process (as I am a very harsh critic of my own work, it took me two years to even get the first chapter out with something I was decently happy with), please let me know through DM's or comments!

If I do end up getting some beta readers, note: you will be spoiled in advance, but will not receive too much context for the story, as I still want most of the events to be a surprise, but I need outside perspectives to make sure that the story flows smoothly and is coherent, regardless of personal opinion/biased to certain troupes or writer habits

(i.e. I'm not looking for people to be like "this chapter is too long" or "oh don't do that to Boris!" Or whomever, I'm looking for typos, smoother sentences, transitions that do not confuse the reader, and other things along those lines! That way, as long as I have a solid basis of good writing, I can edit and adjust other things to mine, or my audiences, liking!)

But in all, thank you so much for y'all's patience! I'm excited to be finally getting this show on the road!!

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

[sepulchritude]

Art is the biggest snitch ever man like have you ever read a fanfic and been like “Oh the author is working through some trauma here”

Or when people rec songs/shows/fics and you suddenly know everything you need to know about who they are as a person?

Like I know art is inherently an attempt to make others understand what is going on inside our lonely little heads but sometimes the mortifying ordeal of being known just slips in there while you’re not looking

[lem0ns-art]

New ask game: Make super specific assumptions about me based on my art syle

please. this sounds so funny lol

THE CREW

FINALLYYYYY I made this height chart for visualization (everyone side by side), practice drawing each one ofc as I've drawn some more than others (sorry Felix and Lady), Anatomy practice and last but not least, so I can easily add clothes/see how different outfits fit later on down the road!

Like any good musical, you have to have at least 1 costume change, and I fear (I'm not afraid actually) that this au will have MANY (I can already think of 5-6 off of the top of my head, there will def be more hahdjdkj)

Enjoy!

This is a lovely post. It goes to show that when we percieve our own work, most of us have some type of insecurities about our own talents. 

[prettyarb]

Also possibly relevant is that probably when Van Gogh finished Starry Night, he jumped up and down in frustration for a while because it didn’t look as good as it had in his head.

Tolkien used to complain that he could never write anything as well as he could imagine it.  So you know, ‘good enough’ is definitely a thing.

[galaxystew]

A relative of mine is a professional author and every time someone asks him which of his books is his favorite one, he always says “The one in my head, because I haven’t messed it up yet.” He’s written more than thirty books and several of them have been on the Times bestseller list, and he still thinks this way. You’re always your own worst critic.

[kiramartinauthor]

Okay, that last addition might be my favorite ever. I need a name so I can quote this genius

[babmaoau]

Sometimes I wonder if the Big Man upstairs looks down at us all, and, even through all the fucked up shit, sees all the creators, artists, writers and their fanbases full of even more talented artists, writers, and creators and just sighs and says to himself "don't worry guys, it'll be over soon, just keep going..."

Because if I were a god and I looked down and saw my creations making their own beautiful creations in spite of all the horrible things they have also made, done, and caused, I'd be really proud and hope those select few make it out alright...

[babmaoau]

JUST EDITED THE FIRST TWO MUSICAL NUMBERS INTO CHAPTERS 2 AND 3!!

Enjoy "Anxiety" by Joshua Turchin (Boris's Voice Claim), and a piano instrumental of Jessie J's "Flashlight" by Popup Karaoke Instrumentals on youtube!

Each musical number will be embedded into the pdf's via a link! Please let me know if they work, as they definately should, but sometimes things choose not to work. (lol).

Stay tuned and stay woke!

How did you guys go about writing in Dovil Feathertin? I heard it was rouge's oc, and originally wanted her in my own fanfic, but was urged against it due to the characters relations to the creator. (i also hope to make an official copy of the fic and make it into a readable book like other fic authors do with fanfictions, so i have no clue about the copyright for that since she isn't mine. None of them are, but it feels different with ocs...)

I write her like I do Bendy and Cuphead and any of the other characters I don’t own. It’s a fanfic from a fan comic. I started it before the scandals and the freaky stuff came out or I wasn’t aware of it. And I decided to continue the fic after too because the og creators mess isn’t my mess. Rouge is far from the first creator’s media I’ve liked that’s turned out to not be a great person. Coraline, Sandman, and Good Omens would fall under that category. Anything Lovecraftian. Harry Potter too. I don’t fault the fans. The creators did bad. Their reputations should be marked. The fans didn’t do anything. They just liked a story. I liked quest, I had ideas, I wrote them. That’s about it. As for the OC stuff, the entire concept of the quest was rouge’s. I acknowledge that. I took it. I had different ideas and wanted to explore them with that same concept. Just like Myth of the Machine is doing. I don’t separate characters like Dovil from the story since the concept of an ink machine quest is also rouge’s. Now I did ask permission for other OCs from other artists that gifted them to the comic like Finley and Sammy since they hadn’t been gifted to me. Dovil I didn’t since she and the idea of the quest were one and the same to me. That being said I feel like I need to give a warning here.

The fact of the matter is this: if you share something online, it’s now something others are aware of. You can’t own an idea but you can own making money from that idea. If an OC gets super popular, other people will draw or write about that OC. Sometimes it doesn’t go well. Harpy Hare and Welcome Home! are examples of that. Something getting too popular too fast and the creators suffering from what their fans are putting them through. That’s the risk of sharing something online. Anyone can see it. Some will run with it. If you aren’t ready for that risk with your characters, don’t share them with the open public. I’ve seen it happen a number of times.

Now one last thing. The line between books and fanfics. I can do what I do with my fanfic because I don’t make a dime off it. AO3 has a team to protect my fanworks as long as I don’t try to monetize it. We have edited the first ‘book’ so people can print it for themselves if they want a physical copy of it but again I don’t make ANY money from that. Those that are selling book copies of fanfic are breaking the law and endangering those of us that just want to share our stories and further explore our favorite worlds outside of canon. This is different than the others that decide to change their works into og stories and then sell them. A few folks have done that and changed their stories enough that it obviously isn’t fanfic it once was. But still—it’s iffy.

Ancient fic history, Anne Rice went of a witch hunt for fic writers touching her vampires and a lot of fics were deleted because of it. A number of fics would disappear because of pressure from authors, companies, and even governments before AO3 and the few laws we have to protect fanon spaces stopped it. You’ll still see arguments spring up over whether one fic or another deserves to be deleted or not. It’s a slippery slope. My advice, if you want a physical copy of a fic, print it, bind it, have it on your shelf but DON’T BUY IT OR SELL IT! And if you want to sell a story, make it an original work. No one can come after you if you do.

Okay. That’s it. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

I hope this didn’t come across as harsh. That is not my intention. I understand wanting to distance yourself from controversy and problematic people. Sadly those people can tell amazing stories or have a good idea like anyone else can. I consider IM as my fixit fic. It’s so far removed from the source at this point too, so is Myth honestly, but the roots are there.

[blogthebunbonnie]

Perfect, Thank you so much! You did not come across rude at all! I read this very neutral and informative rather than however else people read these types of things online. I appreciate your wisdom and time!

Now in response, just to share some things about how I feel, and so that you know where I'm going with it:

I also figured since she is apart of quest, it should be okay. i have asked around and gotten many answers, but I feel as though, for story sake, I will stick with keeping her in. Especially since she interacts with Fanny so much, it'd be weird to replace her?

I never had the intention of selling the fic as is, and you have solidified that in my mind. However, i do hope to one day turn it into an original story and make a profit of my work that way! By that point, I will have made original characters and re-wrote the universe (to take away the toon aspects, ect, or even just make them furries or a fantasy world if i really feel like it (by them i mean the characters i will create in sake of it)). Something completely of my own.

As for the og creator, you are so right and i'm glad you said it as I was afraid I may have been the only person who felt that way. Kanye is the only person I can currently think of, but even he fell to the same level as Rouge, J.K. Rowling and so many others. His music was so good! But, he's an awful, a w f u l person. There are plenty of bad people who make marvelous worlds, and its a shame...

That being said, Quest was close to my heart at one point, before everything came out about rogue. Bc of that, my au is also a sort of "fix-it" au, more of a reclamation type of thing with taking inspiration (but not copying) from other media and tropes that I have seen work, and taking proactive critiques from what I see people complain and praise about online!

Once again, thank you SOOOOO much for taking the time to answer my question so thoroughly, address any concerns and potential "uh oh's" I, or anyone else, may have or had, and make clear what can be done, what shouldn't be done, and what could happen regardless even if it had good intentions.

I have been working on this Au since 2018, and after SOOOO many revamps, sleepless nights, and YEARS of brainstorming, drafting, and observing, I feel like I'm finally ready to put it into the world and share my thoughts, ideas, perspective and more and write a full fledged story/fanfic that I can someday, hopefully, turn into something original.

Some people may like it. Others wont. But it's still something I made and saw to the end (hopefully), and that is def something to be proud of, original or not.

[babmaoau]

Adding on, stories will always have roots! It's what you do with it, and who you become/are as a person that affects whether the media you make has a good/long lasting/positive effect compared to the original, or not.

CHAPTER THREE OF BABMAO JUST DROPPED ON THE GOOGLE DRIVE!!!

Hope you guys like it! In the next chapter, we'll be taking a break from the B musketeers (hahah, get it! Instead of three its, b, because they.. all have... B names... nvm)

Anyways, we're gonna meet a certain ceramic duo in the next chapter! Stay tuned and stay woke!

[babmaoau]

R.I.P. Dovil Feathertin, I just found out she's one of r*uge's oc's and now I can't put her in the fic.
