Hi errybody. I write and draw, usually lesbians. If you're interested in the characters I'm drawing, check out their stories on Ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/JainaVogt/works
More of my Punishing Gray Raven girlies, this time my Commandant and Helentine on an average night. I love Helentine so much, started this almost immediately after finishing her story.
Darci and Annalise being cute after doing the dishes at their apartment in [Redacted], nestled in the mountains of [Redacted]. I can't stop drawing them happy to cope with what I'm writing for them rn.
GTA Minthara 🕸
I had A LOT of requests to draw Minthara and I gladly obeyed. I love this woman so much. It was a very fun trend to draw and I hope I'm not too late with the second piece (I'm so slow artist, sorry)
I have been shipping Alpha and Lucia since the start, and finally, in Chapter 41, this line took me out. So naturally I had to draw it. Also, an example of how much the models have gotten more detailed as the game goes.
Dame Darci Dumond and her ruthless assassin, Annalise Barlowe, in the distant future after all the drama and trauma of my little story has become a distant memory. Link to the story they're in in my bio.
This is Renla and Gequia, some of my OCs, at the height of the war in which they fought on opposing sides. Shortly after finding each other again during a battle, they began meeting in secret, torn between duty and love.
Made a One Piece OC. This is Quill, and in my mind she works for Baroque Works, before defecting to the Straw Hats and dating Nami. She can fight using the ink on her body and travel to the maps she's tattooed.
As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".
So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:
I drew my Commandant with her wives, Ayla and Selena. I couldn't resist making someone ask Teddy to do more work. These three are part of my lil PGR fic universe I'm starting, because I caught up and need more.
To see these three more, check out this nsfw fic I wrote for them: https://archiveofourown.org/works/79942266
How to Write a Character’s Breaking Point (+Sensory Details Cheat Sheet)
1. Strip Away Their Last Defense
A breakdown only lands if the character has nothing left to protect themselves with. Take away the coping mechanism they’ve relied on — their pride, their control, their relationships, their denial, or their hope.
The breakdown isn’t caused by pain. It’s caused by the loss of what kept them standing in that pain.
2. Make the Trigger Small but Devastating
The moment that breaks them should often be quiet, personal, and specific, not just the biggest explosion.
A single line of dialogue, a realization, or a tiny betrayal can hurt more than the obvious disaster.
3. Let Them Resist the Fall
Don’t drop them instantly into collapse. Let them try to hold it together first. That resistance creates tension and makes the fall feel earned and painful.
4. Show the Internal Shatter Before the External One
Start with the internal fracture — the belief that dies, the truth they can’t ignore, the hope that finally gives out — then let the external breakdown follow.
5. Let the Breakdown Change Them
A real breaking point permanently alters the character. After this moment, they don’t return to who they were before — even if they heal.
✦ Sensory Cheat Sheet for Writing Breakdowns
Use 2–3 of these at most so the scene stays sharp and not overloaded.
Physical Sensations
Chest feels tight, hollow, or painfully heavy
Hands shaking, numb, or clenched too hard
Throat burning, closing, or unable to form words
Sudden weakness in knees or limbs
Feeling too hot or too cold all at once
Emotional Sensations
Sudden exhaustion rather than loud sadness
A sense of “what’s the point anymore?”
Feeling disconnected from their body or surroundings
A sharp wave of shame, guilt, or self-loathing
Emotional numbness replacing intensity
Mental Experience
Thoughts looping uncontrollably
A single devastating realization repeating in their mind
Trouble focusing on anything except the pain
Feeling like time has slowed or stopped
A sense of being very small, trapped, or exposed
Behavioral Tells
Going silent instead of crying
Laughing at the wrong moment
Snapping at someone who doesn’t deserve it
Making a reckless or self-destructive choice
Withdrawing completely from others
Environmental Mirroring (Optional but powerful)
A room that feels too quiet, too loud, or too small
Harsh lighting or deep shadows
Weather that contrasts their emotion (sunny during despair, storm during numbness)
A comforting object that now feels meaningless
✦ Final Tip
A breakdown isn’t about how dramatic the moment is — it’s about how personally devastating it is for that specific character. The more tailored the pain is to their fears, flaws, and desires, the harder it hits the reader.
Before the year ends, does anybody want to swear fealty to me and join my ignoble cause, becoming my right hand in both the manner of your use to me and how you've become so vital to my being as to be one of my limbs, until both of us lie dead in a shallow grave of our own making?
