Thank you so much!! <3

I love Warriors so much but trying to draw his hair makes me want to burst into tears, I have NO idea how to draw it

(I’m open to more doodle requests!)

Close-ups of drawings under the cut because originally I was going to crop them like that but then I drew too many, lol

Joining us from the Linked Universe, it’s @anthemxix! 

She’s still undecided on what story she’ll be working on come Saturday, but whatever story she decides on her writing will benefit The Nature Conservancy!

Look for her to start writing at 11PM EST (GMT-4) and to keep going until she can’t anymore!

Want to know more about what to look forward to? Check out her work on Archive of our Own! https://www.archiveofourown.org/users/anthemXIX 

aaaa tysm anthem!! :D that lil bit is part of a much larger Legend & Warriors fic i’m working on! i care them <3

6: What are some topics you will never write about?

def not anything NSFW, ain’t into that stuff. i’m also Supremely Bad at writing scenes that take place in Fancy Parties, prob because i have worn one (1) fancy thing in my entire life and i have absolutely no knowledge of how that world works

22: Have you used any symbolism in [insert fic]? What does it represent?

uhhhhhh well Oranges and Yellows has color symbolism (it’s in the name so it do be kinda in your face tho) and there’s lots of little symbolic moments in Breathe (not LU, does that count). i don’t really know how to articulate their meanings here without sounding stupid sjhvisuhfis it’s mostly in the descriptions of emotions that Link has in that one?? does that count as symbolism?? i’m Literally Stupid i’m so sorry-

ANTHEM!!! It is soo good to see you here, my friend! I feel so blessed today 🥹Thank you bunches for the ask! 💚

(Side note: Whoever enjoys Linked Universe, please go check out Anthem's works if you haven't already, I'm in love with them.)

2. Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to?

Yes 😭 An original work. My biggest hurdle when it comes to writing is the initial brainstorming aspect of it. I've heard a lot of creators say that their ideas are rich and plentiful but executing them is the hard part. Well, I have the opposite problem! Not that the execution is easy, just that the ideas are harder for me. I'd love to create a cast of original characters with my own unique ideas and worldbuilding, but my already-established favorite pieces of media tend to cloud my head. It's difficult for me to craft something with a bunch of interconnecting plot threads that feels authentic and novel (pun, lol) that's believable. I have some ideas, just not enough for a fully fledged story. Maybe someday...

10. Top three favourite fic tropes.

Answered here! ❤️

20. Do you work on a single project or many at the same time? How does that work for you?

I only WISH I were a multi-tasker! But alas, I have such a one-track mind that it only ever allows me to work on one project at a time. At least when it comes to the "actively writing" part. I'll have files of multiple projects where I jot down random ideas that spring up and slowly add to them over time, but if I EVER begin writing the first draft, that's it, I'm done, everything else gets dropped and that's the solo project I'm fixating on. If I even attempt to break away to start something else, my brain goes, What are you doing?! [Blank] is unfinished!! It's merciless that way. I really cannot leave something unfinished to save the life of me. That's applied to every area of my life too. It's like an annoying little sibling poking me in the side, trying to get my attention if I so much as glance in another direction. I can't focus on anything else! Is it my conscience? Is it the perfectionist in me talking? Who knows! Not I, said the cat.

I guess that's one reason why my turtle persona fits me well, haha. I'm very slow. But hopefully slow and steady wins the race? 😅

Hey anthem!! Yeah, I disappeared for a couple of weeks, but it’s good to be back! :D

(ask game)

🖍 When did you start drawing? Do you remember?

I’ve been drawing pretty much my whole life, but I only starting really getting into it about 5 years ago!

🎁 Do you prefer drawing fandom stuff or original characters?

Fandom stuff. Really, it depends on my mood, but even then, the only OCs that I really enjoy drawing that much are fandom OCs anyway, lol.
