As of today, I will be taking writing commissions as well as art commissions. As the rate sheet says, I can do action, romance and thriller stories, sfw and nsfw, fanworks or for your characters. If there is anything you want you do not think is covered by this sheet, tell me the specifics and we can be negotiated.
For example, I am not adept at writing horror, but based on what idea you present to me, I can probably make it work. If it's especially gruesome and torture porn-esque, however, a la the terrifier franchise I probably will not.
Similarly with fetish material. If it's something like, say feet based or on that level, we can probably work something out. If it's on the caliber of diaper porn however, you will want to find another writer because I will not do that.
No shade to the artist, they did exactly what I asked. I just resent anything that reminds me of the (heave) MLP Analysis Community.
V1 basically worked for what I needed it for, people started asking me to work with them and whatnot so I needed one. But looking back on it just brings back 10,000 painful memories. There's a reason V1 lasted only 2 months before I instantly replaced it.
5th - V3 and V5
Artist - WitchyLizzy & Mikaila Orchard
These two are basically the same and have the same fundamental problem in that I have never actually dressed like this IRL, and as the years have gone by it just looks like a low-budget VTuber model. Aside from the Horse, these are the ones I've genuinely hated the most because of the bad things they represent.
V3 in particular. I distinctly recall V3 getting the most fanart and most of it being drawn by people who seemingly couldn't comprehend that V3 was a twig. It annoyed the shit out of me.
4th - V6
Artist - Mikaila Orchard
V6 represents a shift to just straight up animating the puppets, unfortunately the design for V6 is very clearly a proof of concept. It was actually very difficult to work with V6 because the features were so minimalist.
3rd - V2
Artist - WitchyLizzy
Despite the artist for V2 turning out to be a godbothering crank, V2 remains one I have fond memories about, mostly because I used it for months before coming out as trans, and as a result people clocked it almost immediately. If I'd done this today, the eggs jokes would have never ceased.
I've had people who are going through my backlog ask me why V2 is grey, and that's a lovely thing to hear because it means nobody makes the connection on their own.
I will not tell you why.
2nd - V4
Artist - WitchyLizzy
V4 is the best the traditional puppets ever got. It worked perfectly, and had thousands of variations on poses that I just straight up couldn't be bothered using. The only thing that brought V4 down was my own laziness as an editor. V3 suffered from the same thing, which is why 4 of her 6 poses went almost completely unused.
However, V4 is the only puppet who actually looks like how I dress IRL. I have dressed this way for the last 20 years and not even a gender transition could make me stop.
In fact REALLY old viewers will know that V4 almost directly resembles the old ZP Style puppet I used when I was a teenager.
Best - V7
Artist - Mikaila Orchard
V7 takes V6 and fixes every issue it has. The head's no longer too big to do anything with, the actual body parts have enough detail to work visually, and the whole thing looks a lot funnier when it's animated.
I genuinely don't see myself getting rid of this. It's fucking perfect.
The puppet cuts turned out to not be as involved or animated as I'd initially pictured them, largely because it was too involved. But recent videos have settled on something that really works for the puppet so I love it.
In all the Avatar colonialism discussions, why do people not give any attention to Yu Dao? In the comics it was shown that Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation citizens had intermingled for 100 years and formed a new culture, even having mixed nationality families
It's a false dilemma, and one that is completely fictitious. The idea that the colonized and the colonizer would start intermingling after a long enough period of time, and a situation where the colonizer is actively engaging in a genocidal war of ethnic cleansing, is so unbelievable stupid that it isn't worth entertaining.
You're American, right? Are you living in a mixed culture with the Natives right now? Or do they live in their own lands that were deliberately selected to be inhospitable?
You're talking to a Native American who lives among the colonizers right now. I'm displaced and assimilated as fuck. The cultures haven't mixed, mine has simply been erased and denied to me.
If you want an example of what happens after 100 years of territory wars between the colonized and the colonizers, look at Israel. Palestinians who live in Israel are being subjected to Jim Crow on Nightmare Mode.
Ironically Israel also provides the answer to this false question: What happens to the Israelis if Israel is fully decolonized? They become Palestinians, and the Apartheid is abolished.
Yu Dao as it exists in universe is colonizer propaganda. Something designed entirely to make the issue of decolonization sound harder and more ethically dubious than it actually is.
The question about Yu Dao is very simple.
Yu Dao: "This is my home!"
Zuko: "I'm giving the land back to the Earth Kingdom. You're welcome to repatriate to the Fire Nation."
Yu Dao: "But I don't want to leave!"
Zuko: "Then I guess you're an Earth Kingdom citizen now."
Yu Dao: "But I don't want to be an Earth Kingdom citizen!"
Zuko: "Not my problem. Make your decisions at your own peril."
The colonizer's feelings don't matter, and pretending that they do is colonizer propaganda.
So what is it that makes Aliana so different from Palpatine? Like fundamentally?
Palpatine is a Ruler, Amorosa is a Protector.
Under Amorosa's leadership, the Sith are a combination National Guard and Social Workers. They are required to be leaders and guardians of their communities. When they're numerous enough, every planet in the Empire has a Sith Temple with at least 10-12 Sith staffing it.
While Palpatine sits on a throne behind 200,000 Stormtroopers, Amorosa is at the front of her soldiers, the first into any dangerous situation. She doesn't ask anyone in the Empire to do anything she isn't willing to do.
The difference I've talked about is the relationship between Strength and Power. Palpatine cloys and scrapes for power, but is fundamentally weak because he relies on backstabbing to acquire it. Anything that secures his power is a show of his strength.
To Amorosa, the Sith pursuit of greater power is about fundamentally bettering yourself. Becoming stronger, smarter, and wiser.
Palpatine will gleefully indulge in slave labor because it's a show of dominance. Amorosa abhors slavery because it's an admission of weakness. A nation that relies on slavery for its economy to run is a nation that is already dead.
Palpatine rules on the belief that fear will keep people in line. Amorosa already knows through repeated Sith failures that this doesn't actually work and never has. To Amorosa, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of fear
In the New Sith Empire, the Sith are more trusted than the democratically elected government. And that's down to Amorosa working painstakingly to earn and foster the loyalty and trust that requires. Being Sith means accepting the hard work of being the most powerful and trusted people in the Empire. Your nose is to the grindstone, and the Dark Lady will make you earn your place.
Previous Sith Orders have treated the Sith live a privileged nobility. Amorosa treats them like civil servants. It means that people who want to lord over others quickly fail out of the Order because they're unprepared for the hard work Amorosa demands of them.
The end result, however, is terrifyingly powerful Sith. Amorosa's Sith Order is the most powerful and unyielding sect of Force Users to ever exist.
Me and Mikaila discussing Niva and Lavi at 2 in the morning
Me: "Well the thing about Niva is that she doesn't realize that it's impossible for her to truly be a burden on Lavi. Niva's always lived a life of no choices. As a child her anxiety and explosive bending alienated her from other children, and Lavi was the only one willing to play with her. As an adult her future was decided for her because she's the Avatar. Lavi meanwhile always had friends, partners and future prospects and yet always chooses to stay with Niva. But Niva, who lives with decisions made for her, can't comprehend that Lavi always had an out. So she lives in fear of being a burden, unaware of the fact that Lavi has always willingly chosen to be burdened. It's the same cognitive dissonance a lot of people with anxiety and self worth issues have, where they take what they can get and therefore can't comprehend that other people aren't forced to be friends with them begrudgingly, they have willingly chosen to do so because they cherish them. If anything this means Lavi is more attached to Niva than Niva is to her, because she had other options and chose to look after Niva anyway."
Help me out here: Niva and Lavi's designs both seem extremely familiar, like I've seen them on Avatar before, but I can't place it! Did you base them off someone?
You're probably thinking of Jin
Niva and Lavi are both designed to look like average, everyday Earth Kingdom girls and Jin's the only character in Avatar who also fits that same build.
I heard from one of your stalkers that you think companies are copying you? What's that about?
No, it's just a joke. There have been multiple instances where me and Mikaila have written a fanwork of some kind, only for the thing we're writing fanworks for to do something unnervingly similar.
Examples are
The Sith Resurgence - Aliana Beniko, a black darksider who has deep personal history with the Skywalkers and aspired to kill the one who murdered her mother
Reva Sevander - A black darksider who has deep personal history with the Skywalkers and aspires to kill the one who murdered her fellow younglings
Disney Star Wars' recent fixation on black Imperials.
Avatar Niva - Niva and Lavi, two sisters one of whom is the Avatar in a time period where the old establishment of Avatar's world and narrative is breaking down.
Seven Havens - Pavi and Nisha, two sisters one of whom is the Avatar in a time period where the old establishment of Avatar's world and narrative is breaking down.
I've never accused anyone of copying me, it's just a very funny coincidence that this keeps happening. The running joke is that I'm psychic.
The reason you've heard the stalkers make that claim is because "CD-Call laughs at funny coincidences" doesn't make for good content when you're a parasitic cockroach.
So in Avatar, what would have been the proper solution to the issue of the colonies?
Hand the land back over to the Earth Kingdom. If the people living there want to stay there, they will live there under Earth Kingdom jurisdiction.
If they don't want to live under the Earth Kingdom, then they can repatriate to the Fire Nation.
If they don't want to do either, then it sucks to be them.
The argument against this is the colonists might start a civil war. If the Hells are their destination, then the Earth King will gladly speed them on them way.
The problem is Aang being the Avatar and a pacifist will do literally anything to avoid fighting, and Zuko has had his mind poisoned by Ozai and starts actively sabotaging the Harmony Restoration Movement and validating the colonists, and HE was the one ready to start the war all over again rather than leaving the colonists to their futile struggle.
I never thought I'd go out of my way to draw yaoi, but this idea haunted me.
Also, because I put WAY too much thought into this since drawing this,
Andrew and Ashley are fighting in the world between because of course they are. A freak accident happens and they each fall through a portal. Andrew ends up on Mt. Sorbet in the dead of night. In a loose sweater and torn jeans, he's obviously freezing and frantically looks for shelter. He finds a cave and tries to figure out where he is and how to get out when Timber shows up.
Andrew intially starts to freak out but Timber's charm kind of disarms him. Andrew then admits he doesn't know where he is or how he got there and Timber fills him in on the key details while sharing friendly banter and working to keep him warm (physical contact with Timber starts to make an impact on him) When the sun rises, Timber points Andrew towards where he can get down from the mountain and bids him farewell.
Andrew finds the Insterail, but obviously has no money to ride it or to stay anywhere in Frosting. Ultimately, he does what he can to survive on the mountain until he ends of getting a job at the same Hot Spring as Treat. He eventually makes enough money to survive, but then thinks about Timber and how he more or less saved his life that fateful night. He thinks about what Timber told him about his pack and the rabbits. Feeling an insistent sense of obligation, he buys as much food as he can reasonably afford and goes up the mountain to try and find him. Sure enough, he finds Timber around Sundown and surprises him with the food.
Elated, Timber actually invites Andrew to Glaze where they share dinner with his pack. There, Andrew, meets the other wolves, learns about scavenging from Tundra and sympathizes with their plight (after all, who is he to judge?), and then spends the night in Timber's hut after a shared bottle of wine
Andrew returns to his makeshift home later that day, his mind swimming with thoughts and feelings he never thought himself capable of. And he realizes he's thinking less and less about Ashley
He genuinely starts to wonder if he even wants to go back to his own world, even when a part of him is certain that Glaze has no future. Of course, it's when he goes to return to his shelter after a late shift that he sees Timber being dragged by Ozmanthus towards Frosting. Time practically slows down as he's already reaching for his cleaver and approaching under the cover night provides him. He takes advantage of a blind spot and slices into Ozmanthus' neck several times until he stops moving.
Timber is freed and surprised that Andrew was there and so readily murdered someone, but of course Andrew is just concerned for him. When Timber makes it clear that he just killed a cop, Andrew begins to spiral before Timber leads them to a cave where they can cleanly butcher the body. As they work, Timber concludes aloud that this wasn't the first time Andrew has killed someone. Andrew sags, confessing that to be true. He begins to ramble almost incoherently about how much blood he's spilled for a soul who never even appreciated it or saw him as a person. And despite that, he kept bowing to her every whim because of how fucked in the head he is.
He falls to his knees in the breakdown, apologizing to Timber for 'being like this'. Timber, of course, sympathizes and pulls him into a hug, thanking Andrew for most certainly saving his life. Andrew returns the hug with desperate sobs. Timber says that he can't really offer Andrew a life of luxury or even certain safety, but he can make sure he feels valued and loved if he returns to Glaze with him. Andrew nods, bringing the butchered remains of Ozmanthus with them as he devotes himself to his new family. Namely his mate
