Fanart for "I'm not afraid of the dark" fic

just binged this fic by @fandomersrise (im not afraid of the dark) I know its a bit messy, but i just wanted to draw a 'lineup' of how I've been imagining the characters, because they have moved into my brain and do not pay rent mind you.

warning: I did not check this against so their outfits or descriptions in the fic (so they are probably inaccurate)

My friend watched lmk only to s2??? So we watched s3 and 4

And just …. the love for monkies exploded inside me once more

Reblog to let new writers or artists know it's okay to make mistakes and you don't need to let that hold you back from doing what you enjoy, by sharing some mistakes you've made along the way and what you've learned from them 💚

Here I go!

1. I misspelled 'depictions' as 'depections' twice. Autocorrect automatically changed it to 'depections' every time I spelled it correctly afterwards. I didn't catch it right away and later had months worth of work to backtrack and fix. I learned a lot of mistakes slip past when I'm proof-reading, so now I use a spell check program before posting my fanfics online. And I learned autocorrect isn't for me.

2. I used to take my time writing out my first draft, trying to make it look like the final draft by adding details, stopping to look up synonyms, and making sure conversations flowed nicely. But taking my time on the first draft sometimes meant the story I'm trying to write flies out of my head like a little birdie that never returns 🐦 I learned it's ok for the first draft to be sloppy, messy, and lack details, as long as the main idea is put out on paper, I can clean it up and add more details later, during the editing.

This is my first time starting a tag game, so hopefully I'm doing this right 🙂 Tag some artists and/or writers you know! (no pressure oc, and anyone can feel free to join, you don't need to be tagged! 😃):

Ohhh I love this!! Thanks for the tag, Shaotie!!

I’ve been a perfectionist since I was a kid, especially when it came to art, but in recent years I’ve really had to learn that being messy and making mistakes is okay. I tried so hard for my art to be perfect, that it began stunting my creative juices and made the process of making art not enjoyable. I had to learn the term “Practice makes Progress”.

Also, I had to learn that instead of relying solely on myself to learn how to draw, I should take inspiration and advice from others! I had such blocky and stiff characters for so long— definitely still try to improve! Just try to have grace for yourself! If you’re getting stressed out, don’t give up, just step away and come back later with fresh eyes. (Instead of staring at the paper/screen for hours like I did)

Also, never let your mom publish your books and written works if you’re still in your teens. Unless you put it through professional editors. No, I’m not explaining. Just don’t do it, you will regret it.

Once you make an AU, you never leave the fandom because canon doesn't even matter to you anymore

Nobody tells you that rewriting is actually just grief. you built something, you lived in it for months, you know every room, and now you have to tear out the walls because the foundation was wrong the whole time. and you knew. you knew on page 4 that something was off but you kept going because stopping felt worse.

So now you're on page 80 holding a chapter you love that has to die because it's beautiful in the wrong story. cut it. put it in a folder you'll never open. mourn it for a day. then go back and be ruthless because the story doesn't care about your feelings about the story. this is the part nobody romanticizes. this is most of writing.

(after watching a joyful loving movie) yeah it was good and all but i just wish a character had gotten stabbed five times and left for dead in an alleyway and then found by their loved ones at the last minute so they could be fussed over
