Hello Good People of my Abandoned Tumblr

Check this shit out I’m finally publishing the book I wrote, mind the warnings:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I ALSO adore Alisaie. She is full of love. She is full of incredible violence. She signs her name as a lowercase “a.” She hates pirates. Pirates love her. She decided that the proper use of her magical talents is to make a sword out of her own soul and hit people with it. She hates being mistaken for her brother. She still has the same hairstyle as him. She insulted Zenos so hard he had a mortifying brush with self-awareness. She is also still the size of a middle schooler. She can breathe underwater. She keeps jumping off high buildings. She reacts to being given a sword like she just got a birthday present. She was ready to straight-up kill Urianger when he pretended to betray the scions. She sculpted the worst porxie known to man. She used her rapier like a longsword until partway through Stormblood. She tries SO HARD to be cool. She would not shut up about us to Tesleen ever. She fistfought G’raha. She’s even gay.

I adore Alphinaud. He’s a child prodigy. He’s a fucking dunce. He makes spur of the moment plans that work. His actual plans often don’t. He can’t swim. He grew up on an island. He had a Gifted Kid Crash And Burn that caused one of the biggest political incidents in living memory. He sat in a chair like Shinji. He’s the world’s #1 infodumper. He once insulted a man so hard that he became an enemy of the state. He didn’t recognize Urianger when he put on a different outfit. He can draw people perfectly after not seeing them for days. He’s still the size of a middle schooler. He threw a carbuncle at Titan’s face. He fucking stinks. He’s scared of ghosts. He’s experienced The Horrors Of War. He forces every player of The Critically Acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy XIV that I’ve met through a character arc where they go from hating him to adoring him. He’s even transgender.

Drew more art for my book, this time my design for the White Rabbit.

I'm trying to start to draw again, I still have my hand issues but they've become more background noise than constant pain.

In the time of my absence I have written a whole book and all art I make will likely be related to that. Especially as I wiggle around and try to come up with a good cover.

First commission done woot thank you SerToastybuns o/

[liketheinferno2]

Interest check I guess I've never felt comfortable charging people for illustrations but it's actually impossible now so I'm thinking about stuff I could get done without much physical strain that still takes skill -

sketches

ff pixel style sprites

twitch/discord style stickers and emotes

and (MAYBE) pay what you want gpose sets don't feel like I can put a price on those

I also have this style of icon big character holding little character YCH that I retired a while ago but am willing to bring back and could make a similar one for this style:

Thoughts? Really just trying to find bite sized stuff easier on both sides

[liketheinferno2]

Alright tentatively set up Ko-fi commissions and I'm gonna pin this to my page here. Button widget broke so --

THIS ENTIRE SENTENCE IS A LINK TO MY KO-FI.

Everything's low balling it with pay what you want structure, thank you love you eye catching images ahoy:

[xdaggerheartx]

my goal the last end of this year is to get more into doing gposes and also start drawing again

if case anyone wondered my hand issues have persisted for much, much longer than expected and are finally hitting the point where i can regularly start doing stuff again

but it's an uphill battle against newborn phobias and anxieties the past year have given me but hey, just fyi, i have written almost an entire book

[xdaggerheartx]

i can never leave the midwest because The Ope is so culturally important to me

[xdaggerheartx]

i was walking through the food court at work and i saw some old dude absolutely decked out like he was ready for the beach and my brain just spat out "he's serving jimmy buffet cunt"

[ladyelixa]

i drank a sippy of my drink and it tasted weird and i was like "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MY WATER" and i looked down and it was in fact orange juice
