Cisnt Critter's bunny burrow :3

It's certain that I will do the art and the writing thing. It's less certain that I will make memes or just shout my thoughts into the void. Whether I'll be able to get my brain to let you guys see it is another story, however...... I like my fandoms like rainworld or drv3 , concept art, dragons, hurt/comfort, reunions, found family, creature deisgns and a lot more I don't care to mention. Im also a demiromatic demiboy(hehe) under the asexual umbrella and use he/they pronouns. :) I try to reblog all of my origional stuff to this blog but if you just want a specific fandom my pinned post has all my side-blogs linked. Thank you for your time

[cisnt-critter]

Heyyyyyyyyy, this is Critter and I figured that I want to try and improve my tumblr experience. I will now have a billion side blogs and will link them here and pin this. So far we have:

This blog, which will have any fandoms that I havent decided to make a new blog for and stuff that isn’t for fandom (and self reblogs when I think to do them).

Also If a fandom gets a side blog it means it’s the kind of hyperfixation that WILL return so never give up on me/my projects lol

@critter-ghosting-some-tricks (for ghost trick art and a03 updates. Most active if there is an event )

@critters-world-being-rained (for my deeply beloved Rain world stuff- ocs, fics and art)

@critter-housing-some-owls (for my owl house art and fic updates)

@crafting-in-the-mines-as-critter (Minecraft/ mostly DSMP stuff)

@little-critter-enjoying-the-cult (cult of the lamb stuff, mostly will be my aus but might share some gameplay screenshots/thoughts)

@critter-dies-in-the-killing-game (danganrompa)

@despite-everything-its-critter (undertale and undertale aus)

@critter-in-the-mushroom-kingdom (Mario stuff)

@critter-catch-them-all-fella (Pokémon, mostly Submas and Scarlet/violet)

@critterruthlesslydraggedintosea (Epic the Musical)

@critter-dead-set-on-driftin (Dead cells, Hyper light drifter and driftcells)

@hollow-critter-nesting (Hollow knight)

@critter-slayyys-in-long-quiet (slay the princess)

@digital-critter-circusing (TADC)

I will also be trying to post the many things I’ve made but never posted and new stuff but I’m notoriously inconsistent (that’s why I’m on a03 and Tumblr rather than anywhere else). Not all of these will be active anytime soon but they’re all the things that never quite leave me so they’ll be back some day.

I try to reblog fics and art I’m proud of to this account so if you are okay with more than one fandom just follow this one. I’m not consistent with remembering to do this but I try!!! :)

[everestgale]

This is it. I have no idea what it's going to be like out there.

N-not that I'm scared or anything. It's exciting, really. Anything could happen.

This is all a very dramatic way of me saying, hi everyone! Everest here (but also, not?), and also, this is my goodbye to you all and this blog. Thank you for everything, and we will hopefully see you in the future <3

...Though, if you *do* want to hear more of why and stuff, it will be under the cut. Fair warning: it's long and also extremely dramatic

It's been seven months since my collective's syscovery and maybe two months since I, the person writing this message, a chaotic Tumblr gremlin who would randomly start the dumbest jokes for no reason and the resident skeptunist enjoyer, stopped feeling like "Everest Gale". What a strange thing to realize, right? To suddenly not relate to the identity that you have so carefully curated and that you have been cherishing so deeply for months and months. But on the other, it makes sense, doesn't it? It's an identity that belonged to someone *we* collectively thought of as "me". Of course as more and more of my headmates have begun to establish themselves as their own people, the less and less sense "Everest Gale" made for *me*. 

I was in denial for a while. The exact reasons as to why are a little too personal to be shared publicly, but long story short, it was a combination of some insecurities, some struggles and doubt, and some people - or rather, a certain person - exacerbating my feelings that I *had to* cling to this identity of "Everest Gale", to do otherwise would be to betray people. And yet, all I've been doing this whole time was betraying *myself*. 

I'm sure you all have noticed how little this blog has been getting used since our syscovery. And part of the issue was personal issues stacking on top of each other, sure, but another part of it was that it felt *awkward* to do that. The more time went on, the more it felt like a "performance", a show that I wanted to put on, rather than something that came directly from my heart like it had happened in the past. And in hindsight, it makes sense. This is *my* blog, so our headmates felt awkward using it, and yet now it also belongs to someone I no longer am. It feels weird to use when there is this image people have of who "Everest Gale" is, it feels weird to use when everything feels out of place, and it feels weird to use when *I am* not "Everest Gale" anymore. And so, as much as it kind of sucks for me to say, I think I have to let this blog go, along with everything "Everest Gale" related. And this is my goodbye.

...It's very bittersweet for me. I am parting ways with something that once meant so much to me. And in a way, it still does mean so much to me. "Everest Gale" made a lot of mistakes, some of which still haunt me to this day, and yet I can't help but be grateful for the version of us that got us where we are today. "Everest Gale" is how I forced myself to "put myself out there". "Everest Gale" is how I was able to find my joy, my voice and even reach people, when I had so much doubt, in a very confusing time of our life. And "Everest Gale" is how I found some of my closest, dearest friends, the support group that has helped us get through some very rough patches of our life, and who we could support back, the very people who are our foundation for us to finally be able to stand up tall and *breathe*.

Also nothing is getting deleted, for the record. And in fact, I will probably still use this account "for now" to lurk on my friends' blogs from time to time, but there will not be any new posts or reblogs here. It's just going to be an archive, a memoir of someone we used to be not too long ago. 

And? What happens next? Who knows, really. Perhaps, when we are ready to make art and post on social media again, we will return to Tumblr and even StP Tumblr, just with a new blog and a new name. Perhaps, we will find a new fandom for us to bunker in and make stuff for. Perhaps, we will finally try making our own original stuff. I don't know, none of us do! Just like the Slay the Princess quote I pulled to start this post with, I'm excited to see where life takes us. Where we might go, what might we find, who might we meet, and what we might make, now that we are no longer shackling ourselves to an identity that doesn’t make sense anymore, now that we know we are *we* and can say so with pride.

Perhaps when that time comes, I will make one more post here, letting people know that we have a new blog. Or maybe we won't, and we will just let people discover ourselves naturally. I can't make any promises right now. "We will see" is the only real answer I have here.

But in any case, thanks for sticking around everyone! Perhaps we will see you all again in the future. But for now, take care everyone, and hope you have a wonderful time <3

I wasn’t sure if you meant the writing game or artist one and accidents posted when I meant to just move you over to my drafts so that’s a mess but.

28 (writing): do you prefer an or canon complient

I tend to lean towards au for sure but both can be fun

28 (art) any writing events I’ve been a part of:

I’ve never done a vine or anything but I have participated in a lot of art months and when I was younger would participate in maps

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

[cisnt-critter]

Hello my dear mutual!

Hello! :3

[cisnt-critter]

What is The Game for you?

If there isn't a game, pick a book or other media instead

Ohhh that’s really tricky. I’m a huge rainworld fan so that comes to mind but also as a sucker for nostalgia and as someone who somtimes is too tired to want nature to kill me I might have to go with the legendary pull of

- Kirby’s Epic Yarn

To be honest. Probably played more hours of that game total than any other in my life. Gotta rep it somehow/hj

[cisnt-critter]

Hello

Do you eat rocks?

Only the yummy ones :)

[creekmotel]

[cisnt-critter]

For the ask game:

Do you have any hobbies?

All time favorite game?

Whats your opinion on shipping?

Hi! Thanks for the questions! :3

For hobbies I like to draw (typically digital or just using pen) or do creative writing (mostly fanfic or poetry). I also play video games, crochet, listen to music, used to play kalimba (before realizing I can’t seem to tune them without bugging my sensory issues) and am the type of person to pick up the occasional hobby like painting or weaving or somthing for like a week at a time every year.

I struggle with picking favorites so all time favorite game is tricky but it probably is either Rainworld or Kirby’s Epic Yarn (the most similar games ever/s) depending on if I go on most hours of gameplay and nostalgia or if I focus on recent time and how much it’s eaten my mind.

And shipping? It’s pretty convenient but can be expensive and we might rely on it too much/silly

But more seriously, shipping can be a very fun part of fandom. It’s fun to explore that kind of dynamic between characters and interesting to see people’s picks. It can be very enjoyable. However the amount of discourse it can spawn can be kind of scary and there are plenty of ships that I respect the right for people to be able to ship or to share stuff of but I truly just don’t want to see at all. For the most part though, shipping has been a fun experience for me though- especially once I let myself be more comfortable with letting myself block people and tags, even for just pettier reasons.

If that makes sense?

I don’t know! I’m not sure if any of those are good answers but I think they all check out and I appreciate the chance to yap a little! Thank you :>

[critter-slayyys-in-long-quiet]

After months of effort (and like a month of procrastinating on editing it together) I am happy to finally be able to share a big project I’ve been working on-

My VOT animatic for the tournament!!! Featuring at least a small moment for each of 53 different designs! :D

I bring the disclaimer that I bit off way more than I could chew and thus this isn’t lined/colored/cleaned up and there’s a few sections that are pretty much empty because they have no lyrics and thus where just going to be based on how the tournament goes but then I lost motivation for that part. And I’m sorry to anyone whose design was given a shorter and/or less cleaned up section. However I’m overall happy with this and I worked really hard. I hope you all enjoy this project :)

Kitty :)

I’ve been doing bad at actually posting things I make on tumblr still but I realized that with the Beast tournament starting soon I should actually post this art of her I did today :)

I was inspired by a pose a medieval art peice my history teacher showed us had a deer in because I think Beast would fit those styles and my Beast is kinda deer themed. It didn’t end up being super inspired by that style itself but I think it gets across enough to like how this turned out quite a bit actually :> I hope you like it.

[critters-world-being-rained]

The ideal

[critter-dies-in-the-killing-game]

Sometimes I’m haunted by the ghost of Cringe but I killed that guy a long time ago.

That is to say I simply forgot to post them but I made Kaimaki into Uma horse girls. They’re very gay. Their names are Cosmic Luminary and Rolling Nori. I’m new to Uma but my friends who’ve played it longer than me and have watched the anime did approve of them and as far as I can tell there are only a few actual rules for horse designs.

Anyways, I hope you like them. These two still mean so much to me after all this time and the gay horse versions of them should for sure kiss about it.

And they do. In my sketches. The first page is older, make when I first designed them, and they are way more on model but I do like how domestic the second page is. Grrr.
