Hello! I’m Meril (she/her)
I’m glad you’ve stopped by my little corner of the internet.
This is a multifandom blog! I enjoy fantasy books, 80s movies, video games, classic lit, art history, mythology and folklore, fairy tales, nature, cats, and pretty pictures.
I like to make art and write, and I have OCs for various fandoms. My creations are tagged with #merilles.
Please do not repost my art or use/claim my OCs as your own.
Thank you ♡♡♡

Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.
finally some relatable content on ig
I have decided for every day of June that I fail to put time into more serious art & writing that I keep putting off on account of 'being out of practice (yet again),' I have to post a rough sketch of half an hour or less (preferably less) until I have no further excuse, and because I'm in a horse mood, there will be pictures of horses. You all get to harass me henceforth. If your oc has a horse and you want a picture of it, send me an ask, and then I won't be able to weasel out ^_^;; Anyway, here's Day 1 -- "Meeting Meadow"
The stigma of self-inserts is so harmful to the creative process. Relax. Admit it. Everything you make is derivative of yourself, always, no exceptions. You can turn the mirror into tinier and tinier shards or you can make it as big as you want to reflect as much as you want. At the end of the day it's always going to show you inside of it. Pretending otherwise is stupid.
It's not about not using self-inserts.
It's about doing it in a way so that the reader doesn't know.
If I read the book and come to a moment where "oh, this is the author writing about themselves" my interest in the story drops by about 300%. Don't make it obvious and you'll be fine.
Nope. Wrong. Missed the point. It's about using self-inserts. You can make it as obvious as you want. It's perfectly fine. The point is to have fun.
THIS IS ABOUT SELF-INSERTS NOT READER-INSERTS (I misread initially)
Self-inserts! Do them! I won't read em but do em anyways! You're not supposed to appeal to me!!!
Reader-inserts, however. I am not a fan (evil)
"You're not supposed to appeal to me!!! But also if you write reader-inserts I am judging you"
Nope. You're missing the point also. Reader-inserts are also cool and chill. It isn't fucking about appealing to you.
As long as they aren't Mary Sues and clay the best, most coolest person ever who never does anything wrong.
Those characters are lame, let me see then walk into a light pole or get caught acting like a dweeb.
Nope. You're missing the point still. Stop acting like it's acceptable behavior for you to call the earnest creation of art "lame". Power fantasy characters are rad as fuck. Everybody loves seeing John Wick do that shit. You're not just being needlessly rude and harmful to others, you're also just flat out fuckin wrong.
WRITE SELF INSERTS
WRITE READER INSERTS
WRITE THE COOLEST, FUNNIEST, MOST ATTRACTIVE PERSON WHO WAS COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED UNTIL THEY MET THE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZE THEM FOR HOW AWESOME THEY ARE
WRITE THE SADDEST, MOST TRAGIC AND UNLOVED PERSON WHO'S PARENTS DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP TO THEIR BIRTH
WRITE THE MOST FUCKED UP EVIL PERSON WHO IS CRUEL AND IMMORAL AND POWERFUL AND UNTOUCHABLE
WRITE THE KINDEST, GENTLEST PERSON WHO'S TEARS HEAL MORTAL WOUNDS AND WHO WOULD SACRIFICE THEMSELVES FOR A UNIVERSE THAT DOESN'T KNOW THEM
WRITE! WHAT! MAKES! YOU! HAPPY!
awesome how you can just have ocs and they live in your brain forever and torment you
sorry im daydreaming right now, please try again later
