Saw Into You

kinda random but! If the 'dads' from Strangers across eras had to have one of the triforce pieces, what piece would they have? (aka, whos fit to wield what piece if they somehow got the triforce)

Oh interesting! :0

I wrote an entire paragraph for Talon saying how he’s wisdom but honestly I choose courage for him. I write him as scared, a lot. But he always pulls through and helps anyways. Now both wisdom and courage fit him well so really both could work well, but def not power. I feel like he’s too lazy for power lol

Benji… gosh he’s not the wisest guy, but he’s certainly not powerful, nor is he courageous lol. But I feel like he could be courage as well, cuz he’s a lot tougher than people give him credit for, and he’ll do anything to protect his family.

Rusl is DEFINITELY courage. He’s almost too courageous and doesn’t have a lot of fear for things. He’ll do things no matter how dangerous and will fight no matter the outcome.

I’m gonna say Leon is power. He def represents all three pieces, but he’s a very powerful and dangerous fighter.

Oh Linebeck…. I guess I’ll say he’s more wisdom than anything else. He knows a lot about stuff he’s involved with a lot, like oceans and boats.

Ammon would be power as well. He’s a strong fighter, well capable and adapts well.

And Kass…. I think he’s wisdom too. He knows and understands a lot of things.

amalas! you're such an inspiration for so many of us, not only with your art, but also with who you are as a person

sorry if this ask comes off like rude, if so please ignore it, but I'm wondering if you have tips for someone who wishes to go from mildly popular in a fandom, to having engagement with original art. I seem to struggle a lot with that here, on tumblr

thank you for your time! keep being amazing <3 uwu

Hey hey, Awww thank you! I'm not sure I am (/)///(/) but I try my best! Sorry for the late reply. The question is not rude at all, but I thought long about how and if I can answer this and what a good answer would be. And I think I don't have a good one. I can however speak from my own experiences and share what I know and worked for me.

Social media and sharing art is tricky and I still don't get the "rules" or what works. And many things can be true at once! There is luck, and posting at the right time, and hitting someone the right nail and vibe, finding your people, having "the right" people to share your work and spread it. And it's work. One thing I mostly realized over the last two years is that there is a reason companies have social media managers and trying to keep up and relevant as a freelance artist is work! But I think this applies more for a freelance art business and for platforms like twitter, instagram, artstation etc. Sites with weird algorithm and short living posts. Tumblr is different and I think going into all my freelance hustle is also not what you are asking for and I'm getting off track :D

I think it's important to understand that when you are known for one thing, fandom art in this case, you will have followers who are only there for this specific fandom or ship. And you will lose them or not having support your original art. And that is okay!! But there will also always be people who are there for your art! And already having a basis of people who like your art due to fandom work is a great start!!

Now you just have to win them over for your original art!! And this can take time but if you are consistent and want it, just do your thing!! Be patient and do what you like!! And with this you will attract the people who are there for your art and characters! They will see your genuine joy and interest! And this will always attract people and pull them in!

I think in my case it helped that many of my fandom, or rather iwaoi art, was already close to my original art! I lend a lot from my first oc version to iwaoi and put a lot of my own interests and things into them! This made my iwaoi out of character for some, but I already managed to get the people who are interested in this kind of vibe and style. So the switch to my ocs was probably kinda smooth.

But overall I can say that me putting so much of myself and genuine interests and love into my art def attracted people and people with similar interests! Original art or even art for a ship or fandom you love has that! This special spark and someone behind who loves doing it. And it will shine through!! And if it doesn't work right away, give it time! Really! Do your thing! Be unapologetic you!! And the people who want that will come!

It also always helps to tell a bit of a story. Do you have special characters? Is there a story? You don't need to share all, but dropping small glimpses into their world within your art and maybe in small texts posts def help people to connect to your art and get interested!

But beyond all that, please understand that social media is tricky! And giving out advice is super hard because sometimes the little spark of luck is missing. Promotion and getting out there is work and tricky! And a lot of things won't come quick! Don't just do it for the likes and notes. And I know this is easier said than done!! And believe me I am not above this! we all want the engagement. But there needs to be an inner will that goes beyond that! That makes you enjoy doing it! Enjoy to draw and enjoy to put the work in on social media. To engage with people and share and not just for likes but because you like to do it!

And sometimes things will be slow and not work out right away. Just keep going and enjoy the journey!

I'm sorry, this got long and I feel I didn't really say anything helpful. As said, answering this is super hard!! And I never know how to cut myself short and give precise short answers!

On a last note: If you want to come off anon I'm happy to have a look at your art! Maybe I can give more insights when I see it on what and how could work. Or I can just reblog it and maybe have some more people see it! but this is just an offer and I totally understand if you don't want to!! No pressure!

I wish you all the best with your art!

Is it then like a "choise your adventure" like of thing? Can we actually interact with the kids in a way or it is more our questions will be answered in time by the story?

Hmm. This is a tricky question. It really depends on what you say and which kid you’re interacting with! The basic plot of Sidereal has been set in stone, and the detailed plot of Esoteric has been worked out. So, if you, at this point, say to Carla: “You have to get out of Freddy Fazbear’s, there’s something dangerous in there!” You’ll only get an ominous ask in return, stating: “It’s too late >:]”

So like... you may certainly try! If I deem it either too spoiler-y or if it goes against the plot too much, I won’t let the characters “hear” it. Sidereal is, however, a large universe! You’re free to explore beyond the things I’ve set in stone, and I might open a Chapter if I find your asks interesting enough.

Say, if you’re interested in a character and you say, “(Character X), how is (this or that thing) going for you?” or... something like that... and I’m interested in writing about whatever that thing is, well, you’ve got a ‘choose your own adventure’ thing going on.

Tl;dr - the Main Chapters of Sidereal (only Esoteric, so far) are rarely flexible, if at all, when it comes to ‘interactivity’. However, the side stories and sub-plots are way more flexible and can change depending on what you guys say :)

Aaah, I hope this was understandable ^^; Thanks for the ask!

hi! so first off I LOVE your art omg and second, this is totally a personal question and I totally understand if you don't want to answer, so if you don't wanna answer then please feel free to just delete this ask or something!! so, I was just wondering what your sexuality is? obviously who u like has no relevance to anything, and it's ok if you don't know what it is (heck I'm trying to figure out mine rn lol), I was just curious! have a good day :)

Hello Anon and thank you very much!

As for your question: It’s fine, I don’t really mind questions like that I guess? :’D Although it’s kind of tricky to answer.I don’t like labels. I just .. don’t do them? I don’t see people with lables attached and I don’t want to actually label myself. So ... *shrugs* ? I think the best answer/guess would be straight...ish? I mean all my relationships up till now have been with guys (Though they all started out less than standard as all of them were at first convinced I’m a guy :’)) ). But I can’t say 100%? I’m more attracted to a person as a whole than just to their private parts, and even though I find the male body way more aesthetically pleasing and I can’t really appreciate boobs (I guess, lol) I’m not gonna say 100% this or 100% that. *helpless gesture*I just am whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
