Are we gonna get more skully/The vessel (please say yes I love them so much please please please please please) also here's a jay photo edited to make him more purple because the message feels empty without an image
We are!
The Vessel have fully committed to meddling now, they're not gonna stay out of things , no matter how much The Shield and The Sneer wished they would <3
hi need your opinion oh great one :3
so. i’m toying with the idea of using a different font for everyone’s pov… so jay gets his own font, tim gets his own font, and brian gets his own font.
the issue is i wanna make sure i do it in a way that Looks good and isn’t… a hodgepodge of random fonts that don’t go together at all and look weird and ugly and like it was made by a two year old. which i fear is very possible
so say i can pull it off flawlessly and it looks good and nice and not like a two year old made it. what are your thoughts on that pray tell
-🪐
p.s. new terrible song rec from yours truly: back to hell by alkaline trio. do i associate it with bram and jam? yes absolutely. is it mainly because of literally one single line? …..yes
so it really is a terrible rec but i must share 😔
That sounds fun! :DD Absolutely I believe you can pull it off, it sounds like it could be pretty cool, so if you wanna play around with it I say go for it! Like, if you decide you don't like it, you can always just change it to the same font, but yeah, go ham and try it out <3
Oooh, I like that song! (is it the "Like the pills in your hand, I'll never let you down" line? I will argue that the following lines about bugs under skin fits SHES Jay so that's more than one line, now it's a good rec!) (very scary that it's not Bayside tho are you perhaps feverish? /j)
found out how people were making fragrance mood boards and made one for Brian & The Sneer in SHES.
orange blossom
oak tree
river notes
dirt
blood
unfortunately fragrantica does not have wet dog.✨🎱
Hang on is that a thing? That's actually really fun, thought I'll absolutely admit that my first thought was "but how do you smell through the screen" (I'm stupid sometimes)
This is pretty spot on, too, I love it!
but also hgfakhsdgfhsgdfjgs no wet dog 😔 so sad 😔😔😔 slightly less stinky bastard man after Jay got him a conditioner, still smells like he's been rolling around on the forest floor during a rainstorm 😔
they’re gonna be a different font, i just haven’t fully settled on What font yet. cuz i don’t wanna go like full decorative with very intricate little parts just cuz it wouldn’t match the other fonts i chose and in my opinion wouldn’t match the subject matter as much, but i do want it to be Different
-🪐
Font choices are HARD, lowkey I'm happy my brain has decided that it prefers to write in damn comic sans cos otherwise I would be spending hours just trying out different fonts just in my own doc <<'
It might be kinda fun if ao3 let you do a drop cap on new chapters tho 🤔
Where do you post your fanfics? I would like to read them
On my AO3!
I've only got SHES for marble hornets for now, I'm plotting several offshoots and spinoff ficlets though 👀
I had a weird dream where I found a blog for an entirely different fandom and I recognized your art style on it. I remember looking at the profile for the blog and going like “S_V!?” I don’t think it was for a fandom that actually exists in real life.✨🎱
Rare SV loredrop (not rare at all I'm not as mysterious as I'd like to believe) but somewhere... out there... is a transformers rp blog which was run by yours truly and does indeed have my very very old art on there >>
It's gotta be more then 10 years old by now I think?
Can I make an audio recording of your book and post it online pretty pretty please? I've been trying to get my friend to read your fic but she cant focus on reading for very long, she does think its absolutely peak though.
I also thought maybe having an audio recording can make it more accessible to other people who also cant stare at a screen for so long? I dunno 😿
Take a photo of the creek im gonna use in my slenderman arg (hopefully) as compensation for my over explained and long question✌️😔
Ooooh, like a podfic? Absolutely, go for it! 👀👀👀
(I'm not entirely sure how podfics work, I think they lead to the ao3 fic page where I'll have linked to people's cool fanart, but in case they don't, can I please request that links to the lovely art gets included? I wanna see the fanart getting spread and loved on <3)
Also oooh, that's pretty (carrying on the water imagery, we love to see it) and no worries, it wasn't that long a question
I actually think I’m experiencing some kind of burnout so I’m going to be taking a break from tumblr and ao3 for a while. I’ll see you when that’s over.✨🎱
Ah, that sucks ass, good idea to take an online break if that's contributing to it. Take care of yourself, everything will still be here when you get back!
@sortvaniliekrans I drew the SH,ES gang and I love them so much
They all want that Jay cookie so fucking bad bro
Ignore how ugly the little doodle Tim and Brian look I didnt give a gaf about drawing them better 😔🫰
Ohhh I love assertive Jay yes yell at me you beautiful scrawny skinny starved puppy looking man 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 uaghhhhh 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
I accidentally added a poll
I dunno how to get rid of it😿
im new to Tumblr 😿😿😿😿
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO?????
I LOVE THIS THANK YOUUUUUOUUUGJHGJGJH????
We stan assertive Jay yelling at his boyfriends totally normal and heterosexual friends u_u
(Also I'm so so sorry but the poll is making me laugh so much)
the fact that the Sneer does what Jay did for them when taking care of him is so based I am going nutso mode.✨🎱
The Sneer has discovered the joy of being told they're a good boy, and immediately wanna share it with Jay u_u
Jay, sadly, was too damn out of it to properly appreciate it, ah pootis, guess they're gonna have to call him darling and tell him he's being good for them again later, what a shame :V
not stressful at all! and i did reply already so… oopsie..
am gonna stay anon on here though cuz i enjoy the.. mystery i guess. PLUS my mh blog is still floating around out there to be found >:) so little added mystery (not mysterious At All. if tumblr let me send my asks from that blog i wouldn’t be anonymous but alas. it doesn’t let you. so i remain anon!)
but anyway THANK YOUUU SO MUCHHH and yeah no totally get the difference between posting it publicly vs dmming it to whoever wants it. very excited to resume work on that
also! a drop cap is that big letter at the start of a paragraph in a new chapter that books sometimes have :3
we are the dearlings please feed us /ref
-🪐 (also… no comment on the emoji i’ve chosen- also if my mh blog ever gets discovered that is Also very on brand for me. you’ll NEVER guess this but i really like space- /s)
It's a very fun mystery, I still haven't found the MH blog (granted I am Very Very Bad at like... engaging with the fandom and looking at cool posts and blogs and stuff, whoops) BUT ONE DAY I WILL FIND IT until then I am sworn to secrecy about your identity :3
Ooooh, those are so cool, we're getting fancy with it! Are those gonna be like, all crazy medieval style font, or same font but just bigger?
My dearlings will only be fed the best angst and torment!
From the person who made that one playlist, I added Army of Me by Bjork bc it reminded me of the Vessel, but like if they were fed up or smth? Idk I thought it was cool (･_･;)
That counts as 3 epiphanies, and including the Björk song that makes 4, so I'm pretty sure you're a genius -nodding-
AND NO PLEASE YAP ABOUT SONGS OK I LOVE TO READ THAT (getting specific bits of lyrics pointed out is like when someone points out their fav bits of a painting or something, idk if that makes sense but I love to hear it) and also these songs are so fitting yes very good
(I have the playlist saved and play it on repeat, I'm normal about it I swear)
Also the fact that lemon meringue tie mentions "mace yourself, blame someone else" when Alex literally got maced by Sarah and then blamed her for "making him" kill her is VERY funny to me :DD
I vote Mister Love is fitting, it's very Alex in entry 85/86, which I stole quotes from for last chapter cos I wanted to nail down his toxicity towards Tim
Chapter so devastating I had to make art of it
@sortvaniliekrans SHES is an absolute masterpiece, I cried this chapter
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA????????
I LOVE THIS YES HI HELLO?? OH JAY IS HAVING SUCH A BAD TIME, he looks so messed up and sad and hhhhhh THANK YOU<3 <3 <3
that would make my life significantly easier yes…
up to you!! i don’t mind the extra work however having the doc would probably let me get to the fun embellishment stuff sooner… i’ve been doing drop caps and i’m still not settles on the font i chose for those i may change them. you did not asking but i am sharing (im trying to balance like more angular digital looking fonts and like slightly more horror based fonts and i fear i need to just pick One cuz combining them is kinda giving messy in a bad way. we shall see i am determined)
i figured brian’s chapters were actual codes and i have been meaning to try and solve them if they have solutions and i just… havent-
-🪐
If I could figure out how to do coding I'd for sure have let The Vessel speak in an entirely different font, alas I looked up how to do that on ao3 and immediately my brain crashed u_u (I write in comic sans I am the worst person to give any input about fonts tho I am very excited to see what you'll pick, idek what a drop cap is but it sounds fancy)
YIPPEE LATEST CHAPTER (my ass realized I could have made the cliffhangers much more painful by swapping parts 40-A and -B with part 39... dangit, opportunities lost)
I have a crackpot theory that the doll we see in Marble Hornets that seems to depict the Operator is actually supposed to be a doll of The Vessel. I say crackpot because they were in no way the character they are now at that point in the series but the fact that the doll has tiny pin-prick eyes has always been something that’s bothered me even though that was probably just a result of how the doll was made.✨🎱
👀👀👀 ok ok but that is fun tho
(peek behind the curtain I wanna write a Rooswood fixit/time travel shenanigans aka yeet child Tim at adult Jay and Alex and this would fit so well into that idea.... I am taking notes I am writing it down)
and so… it begins
(the book binding. the book binding begins. and by that i mean i’ve finally started formatting.) fun fact copy and pasting from ao3 doesn’t transfer over italics… so guess who has to manually make things italic.. me
fair warning probablyyyy not gonna italic the like emphasis words might only do the important bits i’m not sure. depends how insane i wanna go :3
-🪐
I'm putting all of these together because please... 🪐 anon, please that is so much work......
If you're legitimately going to have fun with it then obviously go nuts, BUT if it won't be enjoyable and fun for you, I'll just send you the link to the google docs I wrote the first part in, that should make everything way easier, right?
Alright yall my indecisive ass needs help figuring this out.
My work schedule is always hectic as fuck over the summer, meaning I spend basically all my energy surviving my job. It takes me about a week to write a chapter, so the upload schedule for SHES won't be affected.... unless yall want that. Basically I've also been wanting to do more art and try my hand at writing little ficlets as a sort of au spinoffs from the main fic ("what if" scenarios, cut scenes, maybe smut?) AND I wanna have time to be more active on tumblr and reply better to everyone and such.
The choice is this:
New chapter every week, less art and no spinoff oneshots until main fic is done, after which I will go nutso mode
OR
New chapter every second week, more art and yapping on tumblr, potential for mini ficlets while main fic updates instead of after
Do we want changes in the SHES upload schedule over summer?
New chapter every week, main fic is main goal 💪
New chapter every 2. week, bring the shitposting 😎
I wanna make it very clear that I'm into both ideas, and that updates every week won't mean no more doodles or oneshots, ever. It'll just mean those things will be delayed until after summer is over. I should also say that no matter what, there'll be no update in week 31, since I'm traveling there <3
I refuse to be contained, I'm only getting slowed down 🤘😤
