Just hug it out
@factual-fantasy
All info about me and my FAQ is in my pinned post! :}} Also, please consider supporting me on ko-fi and recieve exclusive content!!👉👉 https://ko-fi.com/factual_fantasy
(I intend to return to this post frequently and update the FAQ whenever new frequent questions arrive :}} )
Do you take commissions?: I do! And you can order one here on my ko-fi. They are currently Open and I have 5 slots left! :D
Do you take drawing suggestions/unpaid drawing requests?: I do not. Sorry!
When you say you don't like fanart being made for you, does that mean fanfics and other kinds of media as well?: Yes. it applies to all of that <:/
Why don't you like fanart/fanfics being made for you?: The simple answer is it just makes me very uncomfortable. It feels icky when someone I don't know draws/writes about something I designed without asking me. I get that most artists love fanart and don't see it that way/feel that way about it.. but I do. And even if people ask for permission first, I just like to keep my works to myself..
How can we show support if you don't like fanart?: You can support me over on ko-fi! :)) Or, just send comments! In what ever form they make take. Reblogs, asks, direct comments, tags?? Which ever way you choose! My absolute favorite part of posting on Tumblr is reading all the responses. Whether its a huge paragraph or a simple "Loved this! 💖" It always makes me smile to see people comment! :}}}
What drawing program do you use?: FireAlpaca! Its a free program and is easy for beginners to learn, yet also has a lot of tools available for the pros! Though be warned. It can be a bit buggy at times and has some weird quirks you're gonna have to learn how to work around.. 😅
Why are your sonas hands bloody and bandaged?: When I was first designing my sona, it looked kind'a plain.. I wanted to add something to my sonas hands, but I wasn't sure what.. at the time, my hands were covered in Band-Aids due to dry skin and cat scratches. Looking at my patched hands I thought "Hey! My sona could have these edgy bandaged hands! They can represent my "artists hands" and my love for angst as well!" and so that's what I drew <XDD
Do you have any other socials?: I have a ko-fi and a YouTube channel, but I haven't posted to it in a few years now 💀 other than that, Tumblr and ko-fi are the only places I post my artwork to! :}
When will you get back to your FNAF AU?: I have no plans to return to my FNAF AU publicly due to the amount of art theft my AU has faced. If I draw any FNAF stuff it'll be posted to my Ko-fi 🐻🪦
When will you get back to Octonauts?: I will not be coming back. At least not publicly on this blog.. I had some very uncomfortable experiences with the fandom that persist to this day and so I decided to just step back and leave the fandom. (See this post for more details)
Maybe its just my feelings talking.. mayyyybe my "fix-it" powers have gone to my head, maybe this is out of character and I'm just in denial..??
But man, I cant get the thought out of my head that Tai Lung loved his little sister so much, and Tigress loved her big brother right back.
Things were probably so lonely for Tai Lung growing up.. he had never met another big cat like him, or really anyone like him.. until Tigress. And wouldn't you know it, she had felt that same loneliness as he did..
He finally had someone who was just like him, and knew exactly how he felt.. I can just imagine the wonders that would have done for Tai Lungs mental health, and how much better off he is having had Tigress in his life.
And honestly, the same applies for Tigress. I like to think that in present day she's still super tough and hardcore, but you don't need to dig as far to find her soft side.😊
Reading this ask made me very sad, I felt bad that I didn't try just a liiiittle harder to find it. :( And so I went back and did some more digging.. AND I FOUND IT!!! :DDDD
It turns out it was privated, mostly because it felt like armature work to me and I was embarrassed by it...😅 but knowing that you want to read it is enough for me to keep it visible :) I hope you enjoy! And thank you so much for your compliments! 🥰🥰
Believe it or not, you're the first one to ask! XD And tbh its gotta be Kung Fu Panda 2, even though it doesn't have much of Shifu in it.
I like to see the Furious 5 being friends with/respectful to Po, especially Tigress. I like the surprisingly brutal but fitting backstory for Po and most of all, this scene at the end.
1:10 - 1:49 is so gut punching for me that it sealed the deal as movie 2 being my favorite. 🥹💞
What I was kind'a thinking is that Oogway and Kai simply stepped in to advise and guide Shifu when it came to raising Tai Lung. And since Shifu is obedient to his masters and believes in them, he listened. Its as simple as that.
"Who filled my head with dreams?" Well, my Shifu didn't do that. He always made sure that Tai Lung knew he was proud of him just as he was, and that he didn't have to work towards this status for his approval. Nor did he even teach him that the Dragon Warrior was an attainable goal. Oogway had made it very clear to Tai Lung and Shifu that the identity of the Dragon Warrior was unknown, even to him and Kai.
"Who drove me to train until my bones cracked?" While my Shifu may have thrived on a life style of extreme discipline and training, he was very careful to not raise Tai Lung that way. Shifu was trained that way by Oogway and Kai because it was what he needed and wanted, but Tai Lung doesn't need that. He was sure to encourage Tai Lung to rest when he needed it, and made it clear that different types of training and fighting styles accommodate different people.
I'm thinking that Tai Lung could have still trained extremely hard, but it wasn't by Shifu's command. But rather his own drive to make himself stronger and greater.. like his father.
"Who denied me my destiny??" Since Oogway made it clear that the Dragon Warriors identity it unknown, Shifu was never confronted with this. And so this conflict never happened. :)
..huh.. I hadn't even thought of that. I could write it that Po's mom survived... woa...
I'll have to think about that. For now at least I can say that I definitely want Mr. Ping to be in my AU. And how Po made it to the valley of peace and became the Dragon Warrior remains the same.
(Sent after this post I think.? <:D)
Thank you so much!! :DD And honestly it seems like I'm kind'a getting dragged into the fandom whether I was ready for it or not XDD But that's okay!
And you can read a little about my ideas for Shifu and Tai Lung two asks above this one! :)))
Honestly her backstory in secrets of the scroll has a big continuity error <XD The fact that she has no fangs?? It doesn't line up with the movies at all.
In the first movie, Po says to Oogway, "I mean I'm not like the five, I got no claws, no wings, no venom (...)" Also in the second movie, when Po is eating the bean buns, you can see that Viper visibly has fangs.
Sooo.. ultimatly its just up to me if I want viper to have fangs/venom or not. And whatever I decide I feel like doing will dictate what backstory Viper will have <XD
Aside from that tho, I think the fangless backstory is pretty cool! I see no real reason to change it... other than maybe finding a way for Vipers Dad to keep his fangs cuz that made me very sad 💔 <XDDD
I kind'a want to like... serious-ify it..?? I kinda want to take some inspiration from the air benders from Avatar: The Last Airbender as well.
I like the idea that the pandas aren't these lazy dopes like they were in the 3rd movie. But rather they are still mysterious masters of chi, and the survivors of Shens attack fought hard to keep their chi giving knowledge alive.
Like Imagine if Po's mother was still alive and she was one of the greatest chi masters in the panda village. 👀👀 She could have been driven to master it as a way to cope with the loss of her son... it was her way of ensuring that no other panda would lose their child to illness, injury or powerlessness..
@carrrrrrrrrrrtttt
aheheem heem.... thankyuuu 🥹🥹💞💞💞💞
@badlyblurry
AWWWWW.... his name being Great Dragon is so sad.. 😭😭💔💔💔
Yes, indeed it does.. 🙂↕️
@infinitygalaxy
Not exactly.. I'm kind'a just taking the parts of Kung Fu Panda that made me sad and changing them. This just so happens to include Kai and Tai Lung not being evil. Though so far lord Shen stays the same in my AU.. 👀
Those four little panda kids? Probably not.. 😅
@dragonlegendantique
I've considered sorting through the tv shows lore and adding bits and bobs from it. Though I haven't really considered adding the original furious 5... idk, I worry that it would take away from my plan to make Oogway a father figure to Shifu, and get in the way of when and how he found Tai Lung. Its hard to explain- 😅
@firecat17
Man.. that's not a fix-it AU, that's a break-it AU! <XD Very cool and brutal idea for an AU tho. Imagine how the KFP universe would have turned out without Oogway... and how much damage Kai would have done in his rage.. 👀
So far I've considered keeping Shens story the same, mayyyybe minus his death. So he's still a bad guy for now.
Adding to this- I've thought about keeping Thundering Rhino alive! :D
Hmm.... mayyybe? :0 Honestly I'm not super informed/knowledgeable about the wolf pack. I'm not sure what changes I'll make to them..🤔💭💭💭
Hmm.. mayyybee.. but there would be major overhauls to their lore and designs. 😅 They'd be left unrecognizable!
You found the right place! XD And thank you so much!! :)))
I still love FNAF, so the possibility is always there. But tbh I don't see myself returning to making any major comics about it. Its a toooon of work and I just don't have the steam for that stuff at the moment.. 😭💔
The main thought I've always kind'a had is like.. how could they have ever settled on designs and powers for the 10 forms? He's gotta keep those forever, I could have never made up my mind <XDDD
But other than that- I've never watched it :( so no real thoughts.. sorry! <:/
And WAHHG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DD 💞💞That's so kind of you to say 🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞💞
I have not,, but it looks like it was a lot of fun! :)
@mimioctoandfriends
If I had a nickel for every time a trainer was looking for a female variant of popular Pokémon but had to settle for a male, I'd have.... probably a lot. But at least two! I had to settle for a male Eevee while playing Violet <XDD
@smithanonsworld
Aww! A lionhead rabbit! I had an old gray one some time ago. They're a super skrunkly breed. 🥰🥰🥰
@that1strangedapple
I mean I'm all for people trying to replicate the way I draw things to help them learn. Heck that's how I learn, and I don't think I can claim an art style anyways-- :0
And I mean.. trying to skirt around a commission fee is.. kind of a weird reason to try and replicate my art style..? But I mean if you drew it then you drew it. So I say go for it! Anything that gets people drawing things is usually fine by me :)👍
(Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C) (In response to this post)
Oohh I see! :0 Those songs are so vibey and good not gonna lie <XD 🎶🎵
Hey, that's pretty good!! 😂😂😂
@beryl-shade
I can see myself doing that as a bit XD And I can also just imagine my head being drawn into nothingness with how much I doodle 🤣🤣
While there's many changes I want to make to Oogway, like making him less unnecessarily cryptic and metaphorical in his teachings.. I totally want to keep his sense of humor and tendency to troll Shifu XDD
I've been meaning to telling you this for a while, so here goes: you amaze me. You're someone who has to deal with this life long condition that causes you to be in a lot of pain but you still continue to draw regardless. I have Tourette syndrome (which for me is a life long condition I have to deal with ever since I was three) and part of my tics is throwing my arms out to the sides. I strain my muscles all the time doing this. But every time I see you post, it gives me the motivation to keep going. I see this artist going through what I do on a daily basis (kind of) and I think to myself, "well if they don't let their pain stop them from doing what they love to do and keep on drawing, then so can I."
I wish I could meet you in real life and tell you thank you in person. But since I can't, I'll just say it here.
Thank you 😊
oiguhh, many emotions felt here 😭💞 I suck at expressing myself with my words, but I'll try to at least type a few things <:}
I'm so sorry you have to deal with that condition <:( that sounds like a nightmare.. but I'm so glad that I inspire and motivate you to keep on drawing! :)
I love drawing so much, and knowing that I directly help someone else to keep their motivation flowing makes me feel really cool 🥹 Thank you for sharing this with me, it motivated ME to draw more too!! 😂🥰💞
My last Kung Fu Panda post got more interaction than I was expecting! :D Makes me wonder if there's a lack of KFP art out there..? XD None the less- it definitely motivated me to consider more ideas for my fix-it AU.. 👀
I tried starting with Kai, naturally, since him and Oogways beef happened the furthest back in the timeline. I knew I wanted Kai be alive and well today, and to still be like a brother to Oogway. But how 🤔💭... Well, here's the vague idea I'm starting with; :)
200-500-ish years ago (I haven't decided yet) Kai was a warrior alongside Oogway, and they shared a strong brotherly bond.
One day, during an ambush, Kai was unfortunately wounded and Oogway dragged him on a crude stretcher for days, searching for help. They then happened upon a secret village of pandas, who tried to use their knowledge of chi to heal Kai. But his wounds were too great, and death would soon claim him..
Oogway was desperate and horribly distraught, and so the Pandas took a risk and used chi to tie Kai's life force to Oogways. Causing both their pupils to turn white, and their eye colors to change to a vibrant gold. Now that their souls were bonded, Kai could not die as long as Oogway was still alive. His heart was forced to not give out, his lungs were forced to continue breathing, and so despite the wounds and blood loss.. he somehow continued to live...
Weeks went by and Kai was able to recover from his grievous injuries, and come to terms with this new soul bond he had with Oogway. There was fear in not knowing what consequences this might bring.. but he took comfort in knowing that he would face these challenges with his dear brother.
During their stay in the village, Kai and Oogway both became fascinated by the power of chi, and together they were taught by the pandas on how to utilize it. Though Kai never developed an obsession with taking chi. I cant explain how yet, but he didn't <XD
They eventually left the village together. leaving their lives of war and bloodshed behind..
As the years went by, it almost looked like Kai wasn't aging at all.. They figured out that Kai must be aging in sync with Oogway. So if Oogway is 60 in tortoise years, Kai will be also 60 in yak years..
I haven't decided if Kai lived with Oogway at the jade palace for the duration of movie 1 and 2, or if he was off on some adventure. But I do plan to have him "come back" or be around at some point. :0
Their separation during that time wouldn't matter as much since they are able to communicate directly via meditation. So there's no "we'd miss each other too much" factor really..?
Idk, that's kind'a what I cooked up so far for them XD if I come up with a better backstory I can aways change it. The thing I was most excited for was obviously the sick golden eyes that they share. I can see myself drawing a lot of different things about that.. 👀
There's also obviously sooooo much angst and aura potential with the type of scar I could give Kai. I just haven't decided what fatal wound he got yet <XD Although I'm thinking that whatever wound it was caused his speed and/or movement to be limited. This kind'a forced him to look at more "projectile" and ranged seeming weapons. Which is why he switched from a double-sided staff blade to the jade blades on chains.
Anyways, thank you for reading this if you did! I'm sure this Kung Fu Panda kick will still around for a few more posts at least XD so stay tuned and take care! :)👋
WAHHG I LOVE THIS!! :DD You nailed the wing and skin patterns! And the background is so well done and very fitting for Meria! THIS LOOKS GREAT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 🥰🥰💞💞💞
AN??? ANIMATION??? 😧😧THATS SO AWESOME!!?? WAHHGH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING MERIA THIS IS SO COOL THEY ALL LOOK AMAZING AND THE ANIMATION WAS SO FIRE ARGHGHH!!! 😭😭🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞💞
Haha! 🤣🤣 Nooo no obviously not. I wont have Uncle Chuck or (since I can already see people suggesting it-) Agent Stone be Tinkers husband. Also this ask makes me realize that I need to clear up a few things about my AU/my Mr. Tinker..
To start, I don't want to add Agent Stone at all, and Uncle Chuck makes the AU more complicated so Idk if he'll exist either..
Also my Mr. Tinker is NOT Eggman. Dr. Ivo Robotnik is Gerald's great uncle and he is off doing whatever the heck somewhere else in my AU. The running idea with Mr. Tinker is that he actually is one of Gerald's younger brothers.
His name will likely be Theodore, and he'll be called Theo, Ted or Teddy by friends and family. But strangers/customers/acquaintance will call him Mr. Tinker :) (I considered Timothy, but I just couldn't stop seeing it purely as an overused baby name)
I really want to write him to have wife, so I've been on the lookout for some human female characters that can fill that role. katlyntheartist commented on my post and recommended Katella from "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog". Which was almost perfect!.. But that version of Eggman? Julian Kintober? He's ALSO in my AU. And I was wanting to give him a wife too. So taking the best possible wife material from Julian and giving her to someone else felt pointless <XD Cuz Julian is left with no one..
Another suggestion I got was in this ask....👇👇👇
@sunnys-bloog
Ella... hmm.... She might be my only option. 🤔 But now I'm kind'a caught between a rock and a hard place.
The more I think about it, I realize that all I'm really doing is plucking some random disconnected character and shipping them with Tinker. Which honestly is starting to feel more cringe to me than just making my own OC to fill the role.
I mean- obviously its fine to make your own OCs and just do what you want. I'm not saying that you're cringe for doing that- but it personally feels cringe when I do it. Its like, it kind'a breaks my immersion if I see my own OC dinking around with the real characters. It especially feels weird to ship my OC with Tinker. Eww. 😵💫
So I guess I just gotta decide. "Fix up"(???) Ella and use her as the wife and deal with that cringe, or make my own OC to be Tinkers wife and deal with that cringe.
And before anyone may ask-- he's gotta have a wife. The AU works a lot better if he does, and I don't wanna write a plot line where she dies or anything. Its just a matter of finding the lesser of two evils and picking a wife <XDD
@lebirbybitchybitch
Aweee!!! Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰💞💞💞
And yeah, its an attempt at whittling away at my no fanart rule, since I don't like that I have it.
What makes Art fight different/easy for now is that I made those characters specifically for Art fight and the purpose of being drawn by other people.
I kind'a detached myself emotionally from them and it made it easier. Hopefully someday I can unwind some more and I'll be more open to sharing ideas and getting fanart of the fam and whatnot. But not because I think my boundaries are wrong, its because they're not fun to have and feel. <:/
AWWWW, THAT'S SO SWEET!😭😭💞💞 Thank you so much!!🥰🥰💞💞💞
waAAA!!! :DDD Thank you so much!! 🥰 I'm so glad to hear that! I hope you have a ton of fun with it!! :DDDD
@artacetinker
I know, honestly the toxicity of that fandom surprised me. Because its literally a toddlers show. But I guess MLP has its toxicity too doesn't it..💀
I'm sorry you were bummed, but I'm glad you seem to understand why I privated my Ocotnauts artwork <:) 🩵
@badlyblurry
You found it because of ME?? WAAAHG THATS SO COOL!! 😭😭💞💞💞
Now- I've still been considering it, but just haven't committed 😅 My biggest fear is that the potion or someone else will bail Vitalstatistix out of the fight. That would be a total eye roller for me.
This is because when Getifix went crazy in the comic, Statistix buckled down and trained with Asterix every single day. He cleaned up his diet, did all the exercises that Asterix advised, and in the end he didn't need the potion or ANYONE. He won that fight 100% fair and square with just good endurance and strength. That made Statistix look SO COOL!! And I was hoping he kept that coolness in the show 😅 But if you say some of my fears are confirmed.. oh boy.. 💀
@miss-cherrypie
I cant resist it any longer!! ✊😭 They're called ORANGES!!! 🗣️🗣️📢📢📢 I don't call them tangarines, I call them ORANGES!! 💪😭💞
Ah I'm sorry, I thiiink I know what you're talking about.? But I couldn't find it. I think that post was made somewhere between July and August 2020..? Maybe I couldn't find it because I privated it.? Ah, I cant remember. I'm sorry man <:(( Thank you so much though!! <:}}}}
@idkwhatswronginmylife2112
Of course you may!! :DDD It helped make writing stories and posting them much easier for me, I hope it will help you too! :)👍
Nah, not at the moment <:/ and idk if that series is really my taste anymore.. not sure if I'll be coming back to it.. 😵💫💫💫
And ngl, life has been rough. I'm looking forward to when things are better <:)
For a time I considered making them police officers like Big the cat, but then I kind'a went back on that...
I had considered that there was a small anti-badnik/support organization that was lead by Longclaw. Maybe Mighty and Ray are apart of that group..? I'm not sure <XD
Hmm.. Its hard to pick a favorite.. apart from sentimental value, nostalgia and what not? I think a safe bet would be to say that OG overwatch was one of my top favorite games. If not my most favorite. It was the one FPS that I could actually stand my ground in and I always came back to it. So sad to see the absolute slop that it has dissolved into..
And yes yes, I've heard of Marvel rivals. I tired to download it and was really put off, I forget why-
Plus, I loved the story of overwatch too. And Rivals cant replace that.😔
Aww! Thank you so much for that closing comment!! :D 💞💞
But ngl, the more I see/hear of chapter 5.. the more disinterested in it I become.. and especially after hearing that Asgore had a small character arc. He was always a really interesting character to me and I was looking forward to his character being taken seriously.. Idk man😭 people talk it up a lot but my drive to look into it just isn't there at the moment. Maybe someday I'll get back into it.. 💔
@thisisacandlehandsup
WAAHHHGG THANK YOU!!! THATS SO SWEET!! 😭😭💞💞💞💞
Thank you so much! :D If I can get past the plot hole at the start of my AU, I'm sure down the line I'd get back to drawing King Boo XDD Hey that rhymed!
@freddy481
Thank you so much!! :}} ..Now uh, unfortunately its been like 3 years or whatever and I'm still dealing with whatever this is. Though I've learned to live around it so its not as bad as it was the first year I guess. 😵💫
And ngl my FNAF AU is not looking good. If I were to go back I'd want to do a HUGE overhaul, as I am currently very dissatisfied with the quality of my AU. So that means I'd be in for a MOUNTIAN of work. Noooot exactly something I feel like doing atm..
Plus, FNAF is like the number 1 fandom for art theft. I have reported dozens and dozens of stolen FNAF artwork and honestly I'm sick of it. I have no interest in walking back into that fandom right now.. 💀
@sparkent
I've been adding that every time since I got this ask. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, but its worth typing it in. Thank you! :))
That's a headcannon? :0 English being Mario's second language?? I thought for sure that was just straight up canon..
Whelp, I guess that's my favorite too then XDD
Sounds like a fun AU! :DDD I hope that they animatronics don't snap up Jack XDD
Yeah I was aware that happened in the comics.. But since its not canon to the show, and I just don't like interacting with shipping culture, I left it out of my AU. 💪😵💫
Upon googling them, they look?? SO AWESOME?? I would love to go to a place like that given the chance 🥰🥰
I'm not familiar with that music, but I'll take it as a compliment! XDD
@pewpewae
AWW!! THATS SO COOL WAHGG!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!! 😭🥰💞💞💞
