Status: Trying to update weekly. I have a backlog of chapters from Attending the Attendant that are being edited/posted weekly, so if you see a lot of that then don't take that as my other works being abandoned. AtA just takes less time...for now.
Current WIPs are My TV (Tenna x Reader), Second Chances (Doey x Reader), Lux's Light (Lux | Mr. Ring-a-Ding x Reader), Attending the Attendant (DCA x Reader), and What Remains After Godhood (Prototype x Reader).
-----------------------------------
Hello! Welcome to my redone pinned post. I'll probably update this periodically. I'm an artist/writer who's into...well, it started with FNAF and now is many things. I'm a selfshipper, though my writing/stories are usually done as a reader-insert, while art is usually me drawing my sona as the reader-insert.

See under the cut for my other tags and about me under the cut.
Some misc notes about me:
All my reader inserts are gender neutral, and if I ever make one that's not, I'll tag it. That said, their masculinity/femininity may vary but they will use they/them pronouns. THAT SAID, I and my sona use she/her pronouns (though I'm certainly not offended by they/them). I try to keep to they/them when talking about the reader insert, even if I'm drawing the reader insert as my sona.
I myself am asexual (not fully sex-repulsed but if you don't know me I'd prefer you treat me as if I am), bi/pan, and poly. I have two partners, both women.
Selfshipping stuff: I am sharing with all my f/os. I don't have a comprehensive list of my f/os because I have a lot and some don't last that long or aren't as serious. But you can always send an ask if there's a character you're curious about! ^^
Had a cute TADC dream I wanna share that does unfortunately contain spoilers, so putting it below the cut!
Post-finale era, Caine and I are a couple. (tee hee) I get sick at some point. The dream never addressed why that was possible or what it meant so uh, I was just...sick somehow. Flu or something.
Everyone was conjuring medicine, orange juice, soups, extra blankets, etc for me to help me feel better. Caine offered to help but Ragatha and Kinger were like "Nono, we got this, don't worry! We can conjure now, it's fine, you don't need to help! :D"
And Caine was just kinda like "But...I wanna 🥺" but didn't want to insist for fear of being too forceful.
Finally he came into my room after everyone had finished fussing over me and I was about to sleep. He said something like "Looks like...everyone else got you everything you need..." in a sort of mopey, quiet tone.
I said I'd still like company, and since he can't get sick (I mean sure dream, why not) he'd be the perfect one to keep me company.
It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...
I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!
I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!
(lots more after the Read More cut...!)
Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍
There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.
When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.
These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.
Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…
Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.
Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄
I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?
After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.
As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️
This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.
Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.
Say it with him, folks!!
For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.
Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.
I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?
Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!
i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.
I desperately wish for Alex Rochon to pull a Matt Curtis and do many song covers as Caine. I'm not even sure what songs I want most but holy shit would it make me W E A K. TwT
