Artist • Gay • 24 Follows/Likes from gemsmain Other blogs I post about the Ace Attorney villains a lot feel free to send asks about them I love having excuses to talk about them- Spoilers for all of the games!! (Except DGS since I haven't been able to play it yet) If I don't respond to an ask it means tumblr ate it! I would not purposefully ignore someone. (And if I don't respond to an @ it means I didn't see it in my notifs, etc.)

Luckly, grinding people's self-belief into dust is kind of a hobby of mine.

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

[galadrieljones]

Serious advice tho if this happens, it's likely because you already wrote past the end of the scene and wandered too far from the more logical transition point, and you should go back to the last time the writing felt "unforced" and cut everything after.

You can also just skip the transition. Really good writing can span years in a single sentence, like you can just authoritatively state fact and your reader will go with it.

This is GOLD! You just saved me like thousands of therapy costs lmao

[headspace-hotel]

When I was writing my fic last few months the strategy I used was "just skip all the scenes I don't want to write" and it worked great in my opinion

you're allowed to draw. draw badly even. draw and then delete it. draw and rework it and then delete it anyway. draw only half of it and the other half three years later. in one style or another. in different styles in the same week. traditional or digital. you're literally allowed to draw however you want

[ghostlyimmortalvessel]

being a writer basically means having invisible friends. It’s nonnegotiable. You will find yourself talking to your characters. Just you wait.

unfortunately i can never hate on a "power of friendship" narrative no matter how corny because the thing is it's literally real

[jeaniefranklins]

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.

[headspace-hotel]

How do they communicate? How do they expect others to communicate? How well do they understand their body and their own capacity for pleasure? What do they tend to do to make their partner feel comfortable? How comfortable are they showing emotion in front of others? How much insight do they have into what their own emotions mean and are connected to? What are they focused on during the encounter? How conscious are they of exchanges of power and vulnerability? very very very good

got sick and forgot how to draw

horror is always like oh no they're possessed by a demon well what about possessed by an angel? angelic possession is also horror.

[carolinskyy]

That's scarier I think. To know the possession is Necessary. That any attempt to stop it will lead to greater tragedy as the angel's divine mission is interrupted. So you just have to sit there. And watch something else puppet your friend's body.

world needs more het ships between garbage boring women and their fancy parrot of a boyfriend. the romance novel trope of ''omg im so plain and hes a sexy billionare' but pushed to 100000. i need a man who looks like a living embodiment of a perfume commercial and a woman who uses 13-in-1 shampoo.

important Character traits:

paranoia

control freakism

sense of self-worth so low that it loops back around into being totally dismissive of everyone else

a warm-hearted kind center beneath 200 protective walls of bitterness that doesn't actually make the bitterness better in any way at all even a little bit

bisexuality

crushing feelings of responsibility

zero understanding of own bodily autonomy that bleeds out and affects how they treat others

a lil petty vindictive sadism they maybe don't wanna look at too hard or acknowledge

full self-awareness of all their most negative traits without working to fix those traits at all

internalized misogyny

a mysterious undefinable hunger that cannot / should not / must not ever be sated

asexuality
