Sketch-a-Doodle

Disney Scenery - The Tower - Exterior

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it. 

Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.

hello all i've always wanted to make a fic rec list and i feel like i've collected enough hkvh fics to make one now LOL most definitely i am forgetting to include a lot but here are a few of my faves!

notes:

check tags before reading👍

most if not all are sfw bc that is my vibe

sorted from least recent -> most recent

was gonna add little comments to each but i'm now realizing that would take up a huge amt of space so. just know that all of these changed the trajectory of my life. thank u fic authors for all u do🫶

oh wow

My brush pack is finally done!

Download it via dropbox: Link

Where can I find it? Ao3 here, or on Webtoon here. If you want to be notified of updates, I recommend bookmarking/subscribing in either of these places! Finally, I also crosspost to tumblr. You can start at chapter 1, or any of the links below:

Chapter 1: Tooks and Bagginses Chapter 2: A Very Respectable Hobbit Chapter 3: Very Old Friends Chapter 4: An Unexpected Party, Part One Chapter 5: An Unexpected Party, Part Two Chapter 6: An Enormously Important Dwarf Chapter 7: The Lonely Mountain Translator's Note Chapter 8: A Tangled Web Chapter 9: Ash and Smoke Chapter 10: The Heart of the Mountain Chapter 11: Polite Nothings Chapter 12: The Company's Quest Chapter 13: The Necromancer Chapter 14: Terms & Conditions Chapter 15: Unattached Chapter 16: The Song of the Lonely Mountain Chapter 17: Dawn (Coming TBD ) Chapter 18: Over the Hill and Across the Water (Coming TBD) Chapter 19: Roads Go Ever On (the grand finale of this arc! Coming TBD)

Chapter 20/21/22: Q & A, character sheets, miscellaneous fun (Coming TBD) In this adaptation, titled “Retelling the Hobbit,” the book is reimagined as a bedtime story told by unreliable narrator Bilbo Baggins to a younger Frodo. The art style changes depending on which character is telling the story; most of the story is in Bilbo’s art style, but when Thorin explains the history of the Lonely Mountain or Gandalf explains the history of the Necromancer, it shifts into the different art styles of those characters. The comic's typography, art, and writing gradually improves over time :).

On this tumblr blog I will post all of the chapters (tagged #chapters and #chapter number.) I will also post additional art, which I will tag #not chapters, #wip, #misc, and #announcements.

My main is @secretmellowblog, my general art blog is @secretmellowart, and my lotr sideblog is @overthinkinglotr.

I am also on instagram at @blog.mellow and on Tiktok at Mellow_art8.

Feel free to send me asks about the comic, or to @ me if you post about it! :3

~*~

8. Hiya! Thank you to all mods and also helpers for being so amazing!

I’m in the mood for fics that centre on that thing that happens to some really strict parents when the grandkids come along - they get super-relaxed and indulgent.

Could you please rec some fic (canon-era/modern AU/etc.) where LQR is just the world’s most doting great-uncle/grandfatherly type for any of the incoming generation (the Junior Quartet, any OCs). Bonus if LXC and LWJ are just so, so confused. Many thanks in advance! @katonahottinroof

9. As an itmf or compilation suggestion, any fics where we find out SPECIFICALLY what happened to wwx’s parents (doesn’t have to be main focus of plot). It’s implied they died on a night hunt, but how? And what if that wasn’t actually true? What if they were murdered by wen ruohan or others? What if they fell prey to an array and got transported far away, but lived to return with a few younger siblings in tow? What if they were taken prisoner and found later? Or had amnesia? Etc.

Women are being killed for not wearing a hijab. This isn't Islamophobia, the women of Iran don't hate Islam, they aren't protesting because they hate it, they are protesting because this disaster of a government (that was created by the US during that CIA-assisted coup some time back) is trying to oppress and is taking lives of innocent people.

Iran is currently running with no Internet. They've been shut off from the rest of the world so no communication, no contact, nothing, and that's genuinely concerning because we can't know what's happening at a full extent.

I beg of all people out there who are so quickly judgemental, always looking for a reason to go against something: This is not what Islam is. This government, these monsters killing these innocent women, do not define Islam as a whole religion, and they sure as hell don't define the rest of us. Please don't look at this and decide "oh yes, they're all like this, oppressing their women" because I know people will. Don't. You are not helping. This is not who we are. This is a monster that's ruining and giving the rest of us an evil face.

ALRIGHT so since i keep falling on new if games and have a lot on my to read list I will make a second part of this list ozijfazorgj. But for now here are some of the IF games i highly recommend!

The Wayhaven Chronicles : First I'm starting with the obvious (that I've already recommended before i know shut up) Wayhaven Chronicles! After a strange murder in the usually tranquil town of Wayhaven, the newly appointed detective (aka the MC aka you) is gonna have to work with 4 beautiful vampires to "solve" this mystery. It currently has two books with a complete demo of the third book available. Honestly if you have followed my blog recently you saw me scream about this game cos I am obsessed and seriously i really recommend it, even if vampires aren't usually your thing.

Fallen Hero Rebirth : Oh boy, Fallen Hero, literally everything is in the title, and not at the same time. Basically you play as a former hero who's decided to become a villain for reasons i will absolutely not spoil bc it would be criminal. But know that this story is glorious, you can choose what kind of villain you would be (from an anarchist/anti hero type to a full blown heartless villain, everything is possible) and choose how your villain costume looks like. And of course you have different love interests all of them super interesting (tho i am very soft for Ortega, the Doctor and Argent but mostly the Doctor got me like 🥺🥺🥺 ). It currently has one book out with the second book demo almost all out called : "Fallen Hero Retribution".

Mindblind : Alright this, made me cry. Like actual tears came out of my eyes and i hate it ezokrafoprkg. In a world where the majority of people either have telepathy and other mental superpowers OR at least enough mind defense to not be too affected by those mental superpowers, your MC is the only "Zero" who's mind is basically an open book and a possible puppet for anyone with mental superpowers. Sucks even more when the MC family are basically renowned superheroes. For now only the demo is out and honestly i can't wait for the full book because this story has me hooked!

Speaker : Once again, a supernatural story because i can never get tired of them okay??? This time you can play as "a Speaker". Born from a generation of Seers, you went to the world a few seconds after ur twin sister, which means she got the traumatising visions while you're the only one who can "understand" them somewhat. Or at least try to make sense of them. But of course everything becomes troublesome when visions get more frequent and violent. Great premise, Lovable LI's (looking at Az, Rory and Kana 👀👀) what more could you want?

When It Hungers (formerly Smoke and Velvet on dashingdon) : First just so you know, the game is currently on dashingdon as Smoke and Velvet but will be moved to Twine with the title as "When it hungers" (u can go see the author tumblr if u curious). Anyway, as a lover of horror stories i can't wait to see more of When It Hungers, even if i made the mistake of reading this at night the first time 😔. The coolest thing ? You can choose to make your MC in three different monster : Basilik, Hellhound or a Haunted Doll, and each of them have a different past based on that choice.

A Tale Of Crowns : Basically A Tale of Crowns is a story based on a fantasy world (inspired by the Middle Eastern) where the big ruler aka The Crown is sorta chosen by the gods and can only be recognised by their golden eyes. Except that usually future crowns are found years before a current crown's death, and your character has been running away their whole lifes. I honestly don't even know how to begin to tell you how much i love this story. The universe built around it is just so well done, the love interests are all interesting for different reasons and i feel transported every time i read it. Even now saying this feels like too little but as usual im not good with english, but yeah just trust me it really deserves more than one look.

The Hunt : Demon Eyes : Just like When It Hungers, this IF is still on dashingdon but will be moved to Twine just so you know opzeakfaz. Anyway the premise is basically you play as a hunter, as in a hunter of supernaturals, whether you think all supernaturals are bad or think there are good ones is up to you, though u know, most of the love interests are supernaturals pzokfga. BUT! One day u end up possessed by a demon you were hunting and only break free TWO YEARS later! So u gonna have to try and find out what the hell happened all this time. There's not much out yet but im already really intrigued by the premise!

Bloodmoon : Who doesn't love a good story about werewolves? If you don't then im sorry you have such a lack of taste 😔. A story which updates every full moon (literally) about a clan of werewolves who just moved into a city, and unfortunatly it doesn't go as well as it could. Honestly between all the unique RO's (Vicky is my personal favorite even if Carrie and Shawnie also got me heart), the twist on the relationship between the wolves and the moon, and the whole story and dynamics between all the characters, Bloodmoon is a delight to read. And yeah i definitely re-read it way too many times oiajgfaoiej.

I’m in the Mood for a Fic Where…

~*~

1. Do you have any fics where WangXian are already together but nobody realizes it because they act just like they did before just a little more sappy/pda?? Like Wei Wuxian sits on Wangji’s lap but nobody thinks anything of it because he already did that before? Or was close to doing it before/already very clingy so it only felt like a natural progression to them and not dating behavior??

19. any good wangxian fics that focus on consent? 

💖All Old Things Are New Again series by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (M, 59k, wangxian, modern, reincarnation, sugar daddy, kink negotiation)

20. Hello Mojo-furen and Venerated Mods! I’m in the mood for a fic where Cloud Recesses Era Wangxian are seen/caught being intimate/affectionate, with a focus on the reactions of others when they find out. Thank you! @neurotiicpreyanimal​

~*~

If you are in the mood for fics following the novel canon and characterisation, you might find it overwhelmingly difficult to find some considering how many fics labelled “mdzs” are actually based on or takes elements from the CQL!canon/characterisation. 

Here are some of my favourites:

a stone to break your soul, a song to save it by rikke (M, 180k).  

When the entire cultivation world turns against Wei WuXian, Jiang Cheng comes up with a plan to save him and arranges a marriage between his brother and the Second Jade of Lan, Lan WangJi.

Might be my absolute favourite in the fandom. A canon-divergent, case-fic that gets the characters absolutely right, and weaves an intricate plot following mdzs’ themes and plot beats. tbh I’d recommend all of rikke’s fics in the fandom.

Murder at the Masquerade by krazieLeylines (M, 60k).

“You better behave tonight,” Jiang Cheng spoke up, poking a hole into Wei Wuxian’s thoughts. “Just because we’ll be in disguise does not mean your actions won’t have consequences. If I hear of any mischief, I will know exactly who to blame.” Wei Wuxian laughed again. “Well, that’s not fair,” he replied, “Is that not the whole purpose of a masquerade? To let ourselves be unrestrained, just for one night, with no strings attached?” (In which the Jin family hosts a masquerade.)

Another of my favourites. Although it is a Victorian!AU case fic with western fantasy elements, this fic manages to stay fateful to the spirit of the novel. Very engaging. This fic is the first in a series set in the same universe: Detective Wei Wuxian Series. 

The Guests of Cloud Recesses by cafecliche (M, 10k).

“We’re in this together, you know,” Wei Wuxian says. “You’re dead. I used to be dead.We’re both tolerated and incredibly unwelcome here. We both annoy the same people, as far as I can tell. I’ve built relationships on less. Let’s work this out.” But again, there’s no response. (Or: there’s a ghost in the Cloud Recesses.)

Another of my favourites. Post-canon fic. It explores wwx’s “trauma” in a way that is consistent with his characterisation in the novel. Wangxian is also absolutely soft. 

for you, a smile from heaven by jiazhen (T, 5k).

“You’re not fair at all,” he whines. “You don’t say a single word, and I’m already like this.Do you know what you’re doing to me? My heart is beating so fast right now. Lan Zhan, you’re making me sick. You’re making me lovesick.” (or: The day is strange. Wei Wuxian wakes to see his husband still in bed.)

Post-canon fic. Extremely soft, will make you feel too many emotions. The author shows a great grasp of the characters. 

A Justice for All (series) by firesonic52 (two completed fics within the series)

Ace-Attorney!AU

Completely delightful, even if the premise might appear a little wacky. Pre-relationship so far. If you love the murder mystery aspects of mdzs, you have to give this series a read. 

Tame by rikke (M, 4k)

After the Xuanwu Cave incident, Wei WuXian wakes up back in Lotus Pier with one hand clutching Lan WangJi and the other hand clutching…an egg?

in which wwx and lwj accidentally hatch a baby xuanwu

Canon-divergent!AU. A fluffy, soft piece that will make you crack many a smile. Yu-furen is also great in it. 

Concerning Rabbits by pomme (G, 28k)

Years of silence have created gaps of conversation that are wider than Wangji has ever known, and isn’t sure how to fill. But while he’s quiet, the rabbits are even quieter, and he’s found it helps to talk to them.

“We have a—” and Wangji doesn’t know how to finish. “We have a guest,” he decides. “You do not know him, but your grandparents did.”

The black rabbit wrinkles its nose.

Wangji reaches out to stroke its back. “I also do not like strangers. But you will like him.”

In which Lan Wangji navigates life, family, grief, friendship, and love through the years—with rabbits.

A contemplative character study. One of my favorite take on the many iterations of lwj’s pov of the events of the novel.  

kiss me back to sleep by museofwriting (M, 3k)

Lan WangJi gets to wake up to Wei WuXian asleep beside him for the rest of his life

Post-canon fic, full of soft wangxian.

Sanren by kyogre (M, 87k)

Leaving YunmengJiang in an effort to curb the tensions in the Jiang family, Wei WuXian becomes a rogue cultivator.

Even without the support of a sect, he is a rare genius whose name will become known across the cultivation world and whose techniques will influence the course of a war.

However, what influences his own fate is a chance meeting that becomes the first step toward love.

A Canon-divergent!AU, brimming with plot and mystery and pining.

To Capture a ghost by (M, 10k)

“Oh, Hanguang Jun is back from seclusion, after thirteen years?” Wei Wuxian perks up with practiced casualness. “Going to chase after me again ehe…”

He must be even more bored than Wei Sizhui thought to look forward to play hide-and-seek with a ferocious martial god he’s been religiously avoiding for decades. “Not that I know of. I believe he’s planning to descent to hunt down the bridegroom ghost.”

“What!” Wei Wuxian bristles at that, looking mortally offended. “Lan Zhan would rather capture some low class Menace over me, the Awful Terrible Not Good At All Yiling Patriarch? That’s unacceptable.”

Or: the Yiling Patriarch Crimson Light Dancing On Graves and His Highness the Crown Prince of Gusu Hanguang Jun, from the eyes of others. A Wangxian in TGCF AU.

TGCG!AU. Any fics dealing with wwx’s ridiculous and petty attempts to catch and keep lwj’s attention (as if he already didn’t have it) has a special place in my heart.

asymptotic by chinxe (M, 26k)

The members of the Lan Clan have never been particularly well-known for their good judgement when it comes to matters of the heart.

Which is why it should come as a surprise to no one when Lan Wangji falls in love with an actual ghost.

Canon-divergent!AU. I feel like everyone has read this one already, but it doesn’t hurt to make sure everyone gives it a read!

WIPs WORTH READING

An arrow through time by syrus_jones (M, 8/?)

Lan Wangji stared at the bump beneath the covers of his bed. Stared at the intruding hand that led to the arm that led beneath said bump of covers. His mind was empty, as if refusing to process this image meant that it simply would not exist.

It had been a good plan, as far as Lan Wangji had been concerned, at least until he remembered that lying was prohibited in the Cloud Recesses. Surely denouncing the existence of something fell beneath that category on account of lying to oneself?

****

In which Lan Wangji passes out after leaving the QishanWen archery competition only to wake up an indeterminate time in the future with a beautiful, infuriating, very naked stranger in his bed. It goes about as well as expected.

Time-travel/Dimension-travel!fic. This fic yanks you in so many different directions. The author updates regularly, so you won’t have to wait for two months between chapters. This fic really understands the crafty, strategic side of wwx, and how lwj is also very good at deductive thinking.

Flowers of Blood and Bones by  Sakurafubuki (15/?)

Wei Wuxian is a Hunter, like his mother was before him. He’s been trained since he was a child to answer the call of the Hunt, he’s survived until he’s become the most proficient slayer of his generation, and even if he’s been forced to learn how to fight the hard way, even if his siblings and himself are the only remaining Hunters in town, he’s always known where he stands, and what to do, and who the enemy is.

Part of him is very aware that a Hunt can go wrong, but he would have never expected to have his life spared by a vampire when it happens - not out or mercy or of concern, but because of sheer indifference.

And it’s not like he’s looking for this, or that he has any desire to collaborate with one of the creatures he’s been raised to kill, but something is happening in that small world of theirs, and when circumstances call for it Wei Wuxian will have to swallow his pride and be practical - and maybe realize along the way that there’s a lot he doesn’t know about vampires after all.

Vampire and Hunter!AU in a modern setting. I have literally harassed my friend who hasn’t read mdzs about this fic because it got me too hyped up. It is just that interesting and compelling–I find myself thinking about it out of nowhere or thinking about the choices the author made with their version of vampires and hutners. I love the take on lwj and the Lan’s infamous obsession with regulation. The author doesn’t update often, but the chapters are long and–just read it. You’ll lose your mind. 

Thief of Souls by gotcocomilk (M, 5/?)

In the depths of the Stygian Tiger Seal slept a soul.

It was a relentless thing, bright and brilliant as the dawn. It was a fragile thing too, broken by tragedy too terrible to name. Through the resentful energy and in the cracks of cold iron it clung on, prisoner and patriarch. Beneath a bloody patina, it had no dreams but nightmares, and no thoughts but memories.

And now, in the cruel fingers of Xue Yang, it would awaken.

Gotcocomilk has written a lot of delightful pieces for the fandom, and I’m very curious where she’ll take this one. 

The signal we send by flowercities (M, 1/?)

As head of security at Gusu Lan Industries, Lan Wangji is one of the rare androids to have risen this far up the ranks of the company he was created to work for. The last thing he needs is a wanted hacker ruining it all for him by bringing long-buried emotions to the surface. 

A Cyberpunk!AU with an Android!lwj and hacker!wwx. The premise of the fic has been set perfectly with the first chapter. Unfortunately the fic has not updated since January. 

Who Will Wed Wei Wuxian? by fancypineapple (M, 4/?)

The most famous, most powerful, most reviled black wizard alive, Wei Wuxian, is looking for a wife. Not just any ordinary wife - a black witch, one as formidably strong and wicked as himself, so their combined bloodlines bring about a heir to the throne of dark magic.

When he and his men put together a competition to find the witch of his dreams, what could be the meaning of renowed peacemaker and whiter-than-white wizard Lan Wangji being among the participants? A mistake? An assassination plot? How does he plan to compete in a Black Arts contest, righteous as he is? How do the other competitors feel about having a white wizard around?

And who the Hell wears a necklace made of human eyes?!

Hey! You’re very welcome! Here are some married-a-heaven/hell-of-a-long-time fics for you...

A Spot of Bother by KitCat_Italica (T)

Looking back, if there was what could be deemed a ‘spot of bother’ in their marriage, Aziraphale might’ve once identified the start of it all around 1862. He still squirmed slightly when recalling that crisp September day at St. James’s Park. Neither of them had handled the fallout from that day particularly well.

But if he were being fully honest with himself, Aziraphale knew it really began in 1800.

Lead Balloons by Cardinal_Daughter (M)

“I can’t tell you how many times those words have echoed in my mind over the millenia. Every time something goes wrong, I think of lead balloons.”

Crowley and Aziraphale navigate an ever-changing world while grappling with their loyalties to their respective sides, their desire to be free, and their ever-deepening love for one another.

Book/Show hybrid AU of Aziraphale and Crowley throughout history.

Making Forever by GothRockFairy & KaytheJay (T)

Crowley and Aziraphale agree to have a secret marriage. They love each other too much to not have it. However, what they don't plan on is the baby.

Revelation by syrupfactory (M)

The year is 3021, and Aziraphale and Crowley have been married for a thousand years. Together, they manage the London Archive, a futuristic information hub that stands on the same block that one held a bookstore. An Anglican priest who visits regularly has a huge crush on Aziraphale, and Crowley is amused … until the priest grows bitter enough to make a very poor choice. As it turns out, envy is a bad look for a man of the cloth, and pissing off an angel is far worse.

Finally, Aziraphale spoke. “You mean to say— you got us married?”

“Just as a precaution, I never really thought I’d end up discorporated again, it’d been ages, you just don’t get stampedes or assassinations like you used to —”

“You got us married, and you didn’t tell me?”

Crowley gets inconveniently discorporated. And it’s not like it’s ever been easy to get a new body, but this time around, things really aren’t looking good. His new innuendo-obsessed lust-demon of a coworker honestly isn’t helping things.

Meanwhile, Aziraphale has a dead body to contend with, and an occult mortician & his very normal daughter to fend off. What lengths will he go to in order to get Crowley back to Earth?
