#cracksofneon

So uhh, I don't know how Tumblr works, but I made some fanart for a deltarune fic I really like called Cracks of [NEON] by @tmblr-sexy-garbage-man so I'm putting this here to show my appreciation.

Please go read it. The writing is phenomenal. There's so much depth and character relationships and subtle (?) worldbuilding and absolutely devastating emotional impact... I don't know, man. Several moments had me either laughing out loud or tearing up and it's given me something to look forward to ever since I started reading it. It's great.

fanart of @tmblr-sexy-garbage-man 's banger of a fanfic <3 everyone go read it right fucking now. this is a threat.

A very small portion of a scene from @tmblr-sexy-garbage-man ‘s fic! It’s awesome, go check it out :^) cured my art block

In November of 2025, I decided that I wanted to start writing again. I hadn't written in years. Writing was a hobby that I used to have when I was younger, something I used to be good at. But I had some free time and had always wanted to try out the NaNoWriMo challege, so I decided to give it a go.

The only issue was that I had terrible brainworms. I wanted to start writing a book, but the only thing I could think about was Spamton and Tenna Deltarune.

So, I decided to try something new. I allowed myself to try writing fanfiction. I had never done it before, I had very little motivation to post it. I just wanted to write, and instead of fighting my brain, I let it do what it wanted.

I wrote nearly 45k words by the end of November.

Three weeks in to my little experiment, I decided to post what I had on ao3. Just to see what the response would be.

If you had told me then that, by the end of May, I would have written over 150k words, I would've laughed in your face. If you had told me that I would meet people in an amazing community, that I would find a new hobby that I was super passionate about, that I would rediscover my love of writing, I would not have believed you.

If you had shown me that a thousand people would read my work and enjoy themselves, I might've cried on the spot. Like I will be doing tonight.

Thank you all, so, SO much for this. There are no words for the love I have gotten since I've started posting. This community is wonderful and full of so many talented people, and it is an honor to be among you.

Also! There is a new chapter tonight. A bit of a celebration, if you ask me. Enjoy :)

The audio was by @abiwonkenabi-blog, created this lovely piece as a bit of silly goofs in the otherwise devastating couple of latest chapters in Cracks of NEON by @tmblr-sexy-garbage-man (also hello from discord)

it was so peak :) im happy with the ending :))) maybe ill make some fanart if i can get out of my depression hole for once!! :D

After 7 months of work and over 180k words, Cracks of [NEON] finally has that green check mark.

This has been an absolutely amazing ride. I've grown so much as a writer and a creative, met so many wonderful people, and ended it all with something I can be damn proud of.

But this isn't the end. This is only the beginning. Hope to see you all in the next one :)
