please glance through these FAQs before you start sending asks/vents/etc. yourself!
What is your name?
I go by Void here.
What are your pronouns?
My pronouns are she/her and they/them and possibly it/it’s?? You can call me either or alternate between them as you wish.
How old are you and is this blog suitable for minors?
I try to keep things generally pg13 on my blog, but once in a while things can get a bit rowdy (there’s a running gag of anonymous users asking inappropriate questions that I pointedly avoid answering). I am in my 20s, well over a legal adult. If you are a minor and are not allowed to/ are uncomfortable interacting, following, or being followed by an adult do not hesitate to unfollow me, block me or even ask me to block you; there are no hard feelings at all.
What are your commonly used/good to know tags?
#voiddraws -my art tag
#opa - “other people’s art”
#void -art featuring my sona (other voids include #kraken void #cheshire void #ferel void #mer void)

If you sent an ask off anon and want to look for it your ask should be tagged with your username.
any art featuring specific ships or characters are tagged with the name
What tags should I block if im uncomfortable with suggestive themes, cursing, etc?
Generally I try to keep things easy so potentially triggering things will have a simple tags like “tw/cw [trigger]” “[trigger] mention”. For instance “tw alcohol” or “alcohol mention”. Here are a few tags I use for sure however-
#hornty asks -for the inapropriate asks mentioned above (and no that is not a typo it is hornTy)
#cursing -posts containing profanity of any kind
#ns/fw -used very rarely but just in case
#implied ns/fw
#ns/fw text
#Unsympathetic [side name]” -if any side is depicted as the antagonist
I see a lot of people call you void mom/void mother/etc... Why do they do that/can I do that too?
A lot of folks will come to me for comfort or advice or just to share something they're proud of and cause of that i’ve been jokingly dubbed an internet parent to a lot of them. Anyone is welcome to do it too, I don't mind as long as you remember I am a real person over here and I don't have any actual say in anyone's lives. Also I’m not a “fandom mom”, I don’t think or claim that I know better or have any more say in any fandom or anything for that matter...
What are your ships/what ships do you make content for?
My main ships are prinxiety and logicality, the basic ones lol. I almost never do stuff for other ships besides maybe dukeceit once in a while.
What ships do you specifically not ship?
Nothing against folks who do ship these at all, these are just some that I personally don't like. I don't really like romantic moxiety, I prefer their relationship being more father/son than anything. I also don’t vibe with anxciet myself. I also do not ship that other one but i dont really want to bring any of that discourse onto my blog
Do you have any squicks?
Please never send me “constructive criticism” without me explicitly asking for it. I work to improve my art at my own pace and people telling me what I’m doing wrong does not help me. Trust me, I know exactly what’s wrong and I am working on it.
Also if I draw something you don’t personally like (like a ship or a trope or a character portrayal) you don't have to tell me you didn’t like it. I’m not gonna go back and change it and I’m not likely to stop drawing it all together either. Feel free to block the tags or even block me, but I’m here to make stuff that makes me happy. (This obviously doesn’t apply to something genuinely offensive. If I portray a character or situation in a way that can be seen as harmful or stereotypical or unintentionally bigoted please let me know)
I sent you an ask and you didn’t answer it. Did tumblr eat it? Why didn’t you answer it?
I get a lot of questions daily and I don’t always want to or even know how to answer them all. It could be something I’ve answered already, it could be something I don’t really want to talk about yet, it could be something I don’t actually know the answer to and rather than flounder around trying to explain I elect to ignore it. I’m really sorry if you wanted an answer or even just a response but I am only one person over here after all. Dont let it stop you from asking things in the future though, I try to answer everything I can^^
Is anyone unwelcome to follow/interact?
Really just the obvious: Transphobes, homophobes, aphobes, racist, bigots, MAPS, TERFS, etc.
Hey guys, I wanted to address this before we even get into next month to avoid all the asks I’m sure I’m gonna be getting:
I will likely not be participating much in Mermay this year. I’ll be finishing up a play and all the set painting and special effects and stuff that it entails which you can imagine is pretty creatively exhausting.
And as I’m sure most of you have noticed I’m losing/kind of lost interest in tss unfortunately- I don’t dislike it or anything, it’s just not very creatively inspiring anymore is all. At the moment I’m kind of saving up my motivation in order to at least wrap up the mer au, I’m sure none of you would forgive me if I didn’t finish what I’d started lol. Though tbh I’m less certain if I’ll be able to finish the pitiful children series, that one takes a LOT out of me and I really don’t know if I’ll have that kind of inspiration any time soon. Maybe some day
I really just need to push myself to get started so when I’m finally free of other artistic obligations I’m really gonna try to push and get those last few comics finished so we can slap a nice little bow on the au.
In the mean time like I’ve mentioned before, my other blog @artfromthevoid is where I’m gonna be posting more often. Feel free to pop over, I still enjoy interacting with y’all. Anyway, I hope you’re all doing well! I’ll be swinging by again soon I’m sure
Do u think ur gonna be more active on here in the future or do u think ur kinda just drifting to different platforms? And if ur drifting what r ur other accounts I can follow cause ur art is lit and so r u <3
I’ll be back more later I’m sure, but I really only do tss stuff over here and I’m not always gonna be super into it yknow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do miss all talking to and interacting with y’all though, so feel free to come over and talk to me on my other blog or Instagram or whatever
Edit: sorry forgot to add other @s, I mention them a lot so I forget not everyone knows them ffff
My main art blog and Insta are both @artfromthevoid ^^
I got lots of affection for this from @wisepuma23 as we discussed this AU and they came up with a lot of fun additions! The cake becoming sentient was Puma’s idea! PLEASE go give them love for it! <3<3

This is for everyone who listens to my Podfic on Youtube. I just updated the last story for the year, a wonderful fic written by @stillebesat. The artwork was done by @artfromthevoid. Please give it a listen. It is a wonderful story and I am super proud of some of the voice acting in this one!
I write down little ideas when I have them and I just found this: “In which Roman buys Virgil a sword. He is very confused.” And like… I have nothing else for it but it makes me laugh. Someone please expand on this.
“…it’s a sword.” Virgil stared down at the blade in his hands. He’d expected mabye an umbrella, from the shape of the package. Or even a baguette, Roman was weird like that. But…
“Good to know your eyes are working, swiss alarmy-knife,” Roman returned, still looking at Virgil expectantly. He’d tugged Virgil aside soon after the Secret Santa gifts had been given, telling him he had an extra of his own. But Virgil never could’ve predicted this.
“It’s a sword,” Virgil repeated, utterly confused. “And you’re giving it to me.”
“Your grasp of the situation is impressive.”
Virgil glanced between the black and silver hilted sword and Roman, fairly certain he was being made fun of. If only he could figure out how. “I don’t know what to…”
Roman raised an eyebrow. “You could try saying thank you.”
Virgil flushed, feeling sweat start to prickle along his backbone. “Sorry. Um. Thank you, Roman. It’s very..pointy?”
“Yes, I thought your might prefer stabbing to slashing,” Roman said, as if Virgil’s words had actually made sense. “But don’t worry, the tang runs the full length of the hilt, it’s strong. And you can still use the edge and flat if you like, a broadsword is really half bludgeon, though I’ll thank you not to tell Logan I said so.”
“Oh…okay,” Virgil agreed, deciding not to ask. He didn’t want to know what argument Logan and Roman were having at the moment. “But that doesn’t explain…why? I mean, why for me?”
Roman blinked at him. “It’s not obvious?” he asked, brow furrowing.
“Uh…no,” Virgil admitted. Shit. Should it have been? Should he be getting this? But…but no, it didn’t make any sense…
“A knight must have a sword,” Roman said. “A Champion Protector even more so.”
“Okay…” Virgil said slowly. “I get that’s why you have one, but…”
“Oh no!” Roman interrupted him, shaking his head emphatically. “I’m not the Champion, I’m a knight, of course, but I’m not Thomas’s protector, Virgil. You are.”
Virgil stared at him, his mouth dropping open. “I…what?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Roman asked again, as if it should be, as if he weren’t speaking absolute insanity. “You’re Thomas’s Champion, his knight protector. You keep him safe from all evil, you sacrifice your own safety and comfort for his, you do everything you can to ensure he survives. You’re as great a knight as any I’ve known. And so you need a sword.”
“I…you…really?” Virgil managed, his voice cracking. Was Roman really…was Roman actually calling him an…an equal?
“Of course! Here, let me show you how to use it!” Roman seemed to take Virgil’s stunned silence for approval, and took the sword from his hand, drawing it from its black and purple sheath, demonstrating a few moves, his tunic twirling with him as he fought an imaginary adversary.
And Virgil watched, hugging himself tightly, clutching the sheath to his chest. He watched, as Roman made him a part of his fantasy realm, as Roman shared his excitement and world, as Roman, in his own way, showed that he had completely and finally accepted Virgil for what he did–and had given him a title to match.
Thomas’s Champion. Of all the nicknames Roman had given him, Virgil thought he liked that one the best.
Logan finds broadswords to be inelegant. While he knows they’re not as heavy and unbalanced as they’re generally portrayed in traditional media, they still represent more force than finesse. He was of the opinion that–if a sword was absolutely necessary as a symbolic representation of Roman’s obvious affection for and acceptance of Virgil–he should be given a rapier. It is actually designed to thrust, is slimmer if not lighter and is, in his opinion, much more aesthetically pleasing.
Roman pointing out that medieval knights did not carry rapiers was an inadequate argument so far as Logan was concerned, because neither did they carry katana.
As Roman considered himself above answering this very hurtful and petty remark, and retreated honorably from the verbal battlefield, no final conclusion was agreed upon.
Roman finished creating Virgil’s sword on his own but did use all the research Logan provided. Logan’s opinions might lack imagination, but the report he’d created had historically accurate information complete with diagrams, forging suggestions, and cultural variations. (Roman still improved on them, of course)
Oh my GOODNESS YES. This makes it so much better, and I didn’t even know that was possible. I love that he was offended, of course, but still listened a liiiittle bit. Gah, these boys <3 <3 <3
Also thank you Thuri for blowing up my post haha!!! Reading all of the comments has been so much fun. My little baby idea has grown up so much :’)
Hey y’all, merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it. I hope you’re all having a safe and nice weekend and happy holidays. Sorry I haven’t been around much, I’ve been working on a lot of personal stuff lately, hoping to get my Etsy finally up and running next month. Anyway, merry Christmas and happy new year ^^
He doesn’t like the attention, but everyone still felt he should be celebrated. Happy Birthday to the stormcloud who first appeared on this day. You’re seriously the best, Virgil. 💜🌩
Void mom!! I finally got a tumblr account!! Hi!! Lol I’ve sent you a few anonymous asks this year but I never really signed them or anything. Anyways hi I really love your work and I can say it on a tumblr profile now :D
Hey, that’s awesome, welcome! I hope you’re enjoying having a tumblr so far, it takes some work to properly curate your blog sometimes but it’s pretty worth it in the long run ^^
