for all of my rage i am but a squid on a page

jenn 💕 gnc lesbian (she/they/he) this is @angelictactics' art sideblog! 🦑🐀 I've accepted I'm going to be the most self indulgent person on this earth. i also write an agent 24 fic called Tea and Gladiolus on ao3 😊

[herosplatling-replica]

Hi everyone! I'm herosplatling-replica, aka angelictactics, Jay, etc. I'm 26 and teach kids how to make art. I'm a plural system with a total of seven headmates.

You might know me from Splatoon or Rhythm Doctor fic. I like writing it! I also love rhythm games, co-op horde shooters, making sticker designs, and management games. Feel free to send me recommendations if you'd like!

anyway since I'm doing a meet the artist I might as well remake my pinned directory:

AO3 - all of my published writing is put here

Art Tag (though honestly i’m not good at actually tagging this one. the whole blog is my art tag more or less)

Commission Info - check this for prices

Commission Queue - check if my comms are open

Directory - the tag where i put all of my masterposts!

Toyhouse - my OC archive

Update Status Tag - check this for news on Tea and Gladiolus

Writing Tag - includes drabbles and writing previews

Writing Spotlight - take a look at my fic recs 💖

Hope you enjoy your stay!

finished another book using a set by thepapercraftpanda on etsy! this one's a hardcover coptic stitch notebook. i think i was a little overzealous in finishing this one though, i ended up ripping one of the paper sets... o(*￣▽￣*)ブ ultimately i think it came out well enough, though. i'm gonna have to think of what to put on the cover to spruce it up a bit! the book corners i used for my first book don't particularly fit well on the hardcover.

Artfight thing

Im not sure if its been asked before but, how do you rate a drawing if someone drew more than one character for your TNGF AU, which is posted as one character in the site? Like, if someone draws Ada, Edega, and Heng, that should count as three. Do you just put the TNGF ID three times, and then rate the character size? Or do you accept it as one character and put the ID once because its an AU

artfight folks are more than welcome to correct me but personally i put it as three separate instances, since it's three characters! same goes for if i draw one character multiple times on the same drawing

[herosplatling-replica]

we must think about jayda werewolf yuri until morale improves

[herosplatling-replica]

you can take your time don't worry! have fun with artfight still! maybe you could realise something mid drawing and note it down at some point if its anything

awwwhgh thanks anon! 🥺🥹💖 i really hope i do figure it out... it feels like every time i do a longfic i hit a part where it just gets too difficult to continue and i really don't want that to happen w TNGF. i just love it too much. bwahghh

[herosplatling-replica]

more artfight drawings! these were me testing out a new cabled tablet. i think they came out pretty well, heheee @mochiiniko @swingstep

INNY ON THE CARD SPOTTED HI INNY ILY INNY

ALSO GEB!! i think its geb hopefully i recognise correctly

WEREADA we love wereada which reminds me, how is the fic progress going? hopefully you aren't feeling burnt out or anything from so many things going on (at least this month with the artfight)

yeah that's geb on the artfight card!! that's geb fronting in jay's body :)

also omg... i've hit such a snag on fic progress right now. i've wanted to write for a while but im having such a specific hangup on one plot point that feels way too early to implement now but i also don't think the story would be longer than (checks notes) fifteen chapters so saving it until later wouldn't benefit anyone really

i actually uh. haven't been able to write anything at all like look at this

i'm hoping i can figure it out soon because ohhhh god i really want to actually finish a longfic for once

[herosplatling-replica]

ya im a week late but who care!!!!!!!!!!! come hit me with art hammers on artfight under angelictactics

[herosplatling-replica]

I should draw more werewolves. Werewolf paian. Werewolf jayda yuri. Werewolf ryland grace. The sky's the limit

[herosplatling-replica]

i don't really have an explanation for this drawing it just happened. hi rocky from my brain

[herosplatling-replica]

so starry and cute!!

i wonder, do you ever draw traditionally for fun?

I do!!!

I've lately been experimenting with artist pens, but it's a lot of fun to just draw whatever. I don't always show my traditional stuff, but I do enjoy it!

[herosplatling-replica]

been getting into bookbinding lately. got a kit from thepapercraftpanda on etsy and it was really fun to put together! plus i bought some book corners off the internet and it looks really nice all set up together. definitely want to do more bookbinding over the summer!!

[herosplatling-replica]

ive been really slow to get artfight attacks done on account of the horrible nerf that is three root canal procedures done at once on the first of july, but ON GOD IM GONNA HIT PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT even if it takes me a million years

[herosplatling-replica]

[herosplatling-replica]
