"Waiter, there is an otter in my soup."

Side/Art blog. Lots of Dragon Age and Kylux trash. Welcome! I will take requests if you have them!

Finally made an art blog that isn't riddled with kylux. About damn time.

When I start drawing again remind me about Elias and Eloise. You guys will love them.

omg I miss drawing. I have an Adaar idea that needs to exist yesterday.

Fun facts: I almost died. My father had an affair with a married woman for years and when he got called on it, he left us. Last I know he didn’t think he did anything wrong. I have to beg people to talk to me because only two people reached out to me. No one will ask me about my stories. I have to tearfully beg my mother to read my story or my blog but she is happy to complain that my brother doesn’t share his pictures. Going through my old art posts I saw I begged a lot for suggestions and that never worked. Clearly people don’t give a shit about what I do except me. Too bad, I’m going to keep making things whether people approve or not.

Thinking I might do writing excerpts on my main. Will I follow through? Who knows!

That Alistair drawing of him with a Mabari pup has over 9 thousand notes. WHAT

[otterysoup]

I went through some old art and holy shit I could draw.

Pinterest users and Kylux trash: search boards for The Witch and The Warrior, it's the best I can give you instead of writing the damn thing which I swear will exist. I just hate editing on this machine. Seeing three lines at a time is no bueno. Also, if you have art ideas or whatever - @blue-berry-tea came at me wanting more about the whaler AU so naturally I thought up three arts - please share them with me I am going crazy. Thanks guys!

So you know those crazy medical mysteries your mom reads about in Reader’s Digest? Well one of those happened to me. On Aug 1 2016 I had surgery for NF2 and two weeks later I was paralyzed. It took a year for doctors to reckon my body didn’t like being operated on but I knew that pretty damn fast. I am still essentially paralyzed, I have a super fancy computer that reads my eyes so alas I cannot draw. But I can write! I’m juggling a few stories and I maintain a blog, old one is amandawelkercom.wordpress.com and newer that gets updated is amandagwelker.wordpress.com. Anything you read is true, I don’t embellish my life. If I could do heart emojis then I would. Miss you all!!

Tentatively informs you all that I’m back before I fall asleep again

Surgery went great, they got 75-80% of the tumor, I came home on Friday and have had low pain the whole time. Yay things!

[otterysoup]

I'm also super bummed about all the kylux I know I missed this last week so I beg you all to send me things as I slowly catch up on a weeks worth of internet

Okay so I feel like a bit of a liar and a cheat by churning out a lot of art for you guys, because there's gonna be a long quiet stretch here soon. I've got very major surgery bright and early on August 1 and doing art is a great way to not dwell on that. The surgery more specifically is to remove a fist sized tumor from my left hip (we are believing it to be a growth which is characteristic of NF2/ neurofibromatosis type 2, i.e. tumors galore) and it will be rather complex so I can't even guess at my recovery time. Regardless I assume I will not be drawing much soon, and for that I am sorry. Reading through all of your tags (ALL OF THEM) has lifted my spirits all week so with every fiber of my being, thank you ❤️ I may churn out a piece or two more before Monday, but failing that I will talk to you all later. Stay safe, play nice! If you would like to hear more specifics of me freaking out you are welcome to bother me at my main blog @captslow-show!

Alright so if you all aren’t reading @kyluxinferno and @kyluxtrashcompactor‘s “Balance” then you’ve got a bit of homework to catch up on. The scene I have tried to convey is about a thousand times hotter in the fic, so you should do yourself a favor and get reading.

“We don’t get to choose who we love.”

My choices were sit and poke on this for another week and make it worse or just post it so here we are. I am tentatively working on a self indulgent kylux au fic I’m referring to as “The Witch and the Warrior”. The gist so far is: winter has plagued the land for a hundred years. Hux, a knight of the First Order, has been sent by Lord Snoke to retrieve the witch known as Kylo Ren who Snoke believes has the ability to end the endless winter, and shenanigans ensue as Hux delivers his suspiciously compliant prisoner. As I brainstormed I kept seeing vague parallels to Jaime and Brienne from Game of Thrones so how could I resist attempting to draw them?

I think I’ve lost two followers since I posted that last picture. Bye guys :(
