hi hi!! i meant to send this earlier hfdhnf but 1, 3, 8 for the ask game? :0

1. When did you start creating art?

For as long as I can remember! I think I was scribbling stuff since I was as young as 3, I remember my parents putting my Sailor Moon fanart (if you could even call it that) up on the wall LOL. I have memories of sitting on the floor in the living room and drawing while the adults talked. Though later on I took many long breaks because life happened, sometimes as long as months to years. Thankfully I'm regaining my love & motivation for it this year so I'm hoping to keep it up! (Thank you Jamil Viper 😌)

3. What are your favorite subjects to draw? (OCs, your fan faves, etc.)

I love drawing OCs! Not just my own but other people's as well because I love the creativity & heart that goes into them. Fanart was actually a difficult thing to bring myself to draw for a long time, because I struggled with feeling like I could never capture my faves' properly (basically placing too many expectations on myself OTL). In general I really enjoy drawing faces/expressions for any character I get my hands on www

8. How would you describe your art style?

In terms of vibes I think mine's like... soft and gentle, I've had friends describe it to taste like cake or like soda. I'd also consider it "deceptively simple" because I have a simple colouring style, but I invest a lot of effort into studying the character down to the smallest detail, making sure the anatomy is correct, redrawing things until I'm satisfied, etc. which is why I'm so horribly slow to make anything 💀. It's the curse of being a perfectionist but I.. I think it pays off...? 😭

So um I found some old photos I took for an art project

The lats one with the two characters was actually supposed to be a sort of series of pics of their adventures. I still have the cutouts somewhere lol

My methods for finding fic on Livejournal because I have war flashbacks of before AO3 and before it actually was a well known site.

I have no clue how other people searched for stuff so I might have been doing it wrong so idk. But people used to be shocked on how much I had when I recced stuff in fic rec communities so maybe I was doing something right.

Go to a community for that fandom.

There will be many communities.

If the gods favor you, there might be a living kink meme

A more well established fandom might even have a living fic rec community

But mostly there will be pairing communities and regular general communities for that fandom

Most will be dead, but still have fic attached to them so you might as well look.

In all of the living communities that aren’t dead you are at the mercy of the organizational skills of the mods for that particular community and what they will allow in that community

If you’re lucky all of the tags will be put in a sidebar for easy access.

If you get lucky you might find a rec list of fandom classics or just rec lists period

If it’s allowed you can make a post for people to rec you stuff

But regardless, you are still going to start with one fic and one author on their single one (1) livejournal account .

You read through all of the authors stuff and they might rec other peoples fic in their own rec lists.

You continue this pattern of digging.

Branching off from author to author

Sometimes you can’t access a fic because that Authors livejournal page is friendlocked so no one but their friends can see it and they might not be using it anymore so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for you and contacting them to friend you. Maybe some kind soul will have a copy of it.

Or some Authors account will suddenly be friendlocked and they are NOT accepting friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for you and maybe some kind soul will have a copy of it.

I was so glad to get off of that spiderweb labyrinth I used to dig through
