beware this is where i blog

So Nicholas Kole challenged people to come up with a genderflipped version of Beauty and the Beast, where the lady-Beast was actually beastly, and not just a pretty girl with tusks and horns - so I took him up on it during today’s lunchtime scribbles. A lot of the others who have taken up the challenge have gone with mammal-based beasts - so I decided to go in another direction, namely birds! With some extra horns and tusks, sure, but she’s mostly bird-based. Also, lady-Beast isn’t pink because she’s a girl. She’s pink because she’s a Bearded Vulture:

Ideally, they shouldn't even be from the same media.

To truly master the art of the crack ship, the basis of their compatibility must be built from the most minor, obscure, and/or questionably intended details of each character's identity.

Enemies to lovers works best when the change feels inevitable. Here's a guide to progression their rivalry to a real, loving relationship

Initial Hostility:

This is the hatred. It's the rivalry. The chance to show the readers their deep-rooted resentment for each other.

Forced Interaction:

Avoidance is no longer possible. Perhaps they're forced to work the same case/project or be on the same team. Limited space/forced proximity works great here.

Recognition:

They recognise each other's competence/incompetence and suddenly insults become more personal. Arguments become less about winning.

Emotional Slips:

Care appears where it shouldn't. Protectiveness, possessiveness and vulnerability.

Denial:

Denial of feelings from one or both parties. One side pulling away while the other side pushes. Something new blossoms.

The Change:

The old dynamic no longer works. One of them makes a choice or takes a risk they wouldn't have done before. Let it be messy. Let them break trust, or push boundaries.

Resolution:

I did some digging.

and then you get the last couple of books and the adventures are like hICCUP’S WHOLE FAMILY IS IN SLAVERY. HE IS BEING HUNTED BY EVERY TRIBE IN EXISTENCE. IT’S DRAGON’S VS VIKINGS VS HICCUP. PEOPLE WILL DIE. FRIENDS WILL BETRAY EACH OTHER. TEARS WILL BE SHED

In the first book, Hiccup is abandoned in a downpour by his own father, to be exiled from his Tribe. He shakes his fist angrily at the sky, and asks to be struck by lightning to know that someone cares about him in any way.

In the eighth book, Camicazi is trapped in a small, dark prison indistinguishable from the others on the island. Even her admirable gifts can’t stave off the possibility of rotting for decades. She wouldn’t admit it, but she was scared, and couldn’t hear the cries for her.

In the tenth book, Fishlegs is a slave with only a small child to talk to. He no longer can entertain the idea of running away. The boy disappears, and is nearly a goner.

Their homes and safe spaces burn, or are tainted by bad memories. 

like, there are valid critiques and i'm not shoving those aside, but if you truly don't like the product, why do you continue to be involved in the fandom? because if your entire existence in the fandom is JUST how much you hate the show, its writing, the art style, the creator, the pacing, on and on, then what do you truly like?

not to mention the countless falsehoods some people make to justify their hate. you dont need to do that; thats extremely werido behavior. and what do YOU get from lying about that? A

stop forcing yallselves to be a part of something yall so clearly hate.

The body panels are too large bc I made them using worsted weight yarn and a 5mm hook but we ball. it's oversized that's fashionable

There are bots stealing art, mainly PHM and Bloodymary from what I've seen, though scrolling through their blogs I've seen they're also in other fandoms (such as TADC and Pokemon), so they're also likely in other fandoms, but I'm mainly focusing on PHM and bloodymary fandoms since I'm in them. The bots mostly seem to focus on canon characters, not OCs. All the posts from these bots have links to scam sites. If the art they stole is a part of a series, then the links to the scam sites are disguised as links to other parts of the series (which is how I got tricked, luckily I'm using an extension (ublock origin) that blocked the site). Do not trust any links that say something along the lines of "check out my other PHM art". I've made a small list of the bots I found, so please report and block them, especially if you're an artist. Feel free to put any other bots in reblogs and/or comments, regardless of fandom!
