WE DID A THING!

@shadowprince27 has written an AMAZING story based on a drawing that I did for Wolfstar Big Bang this year! I am so proud of us for pushing through and being able to post this and share it with you guys!

Go check out his fic and make sure you give him all the love that he deserves!

A HUGE thank you to the mods of the fest for being so patient with me while I had a near-breakdown from overloading myself with WAY too much. 

Lmao @zwritesstuff maybe right on some of that for bow hunting but I’ve competed internationally on the jr olympic team and been shooting for more than 15 years and disagree with a very large number of these things. Not least of which is target archery’s compete up to 100 yards. 40 is not at all the max distance. And you absolutely do not close an eye when shooting.

there’s a very large difference between hunting (and, theoretically, using a bow for war) and shooting competitively (not least of all the equipment). i would imagine that most characters are not going to be using a competitive bow, and i would also imagine that they’re not going to be aiming down a nice clear shooting lane. time constraints, trees, target movement, and external forces like the wind, rain, and hell even air pressure, are all going to cause the distance that arrow can fly to drop significantly. 40 is a kill distance on most bows, especially compounds. when hunters talk about ranges on a bow, they’re referring to the max distance they can kill the animal without causing undue pain. 40 is pretty much max, though i definitely know hunters who are comfortable shooting up to 60 if the lighting’s fine and they’re on the edge of a field

and i still disagree about keeping both eyes open. clearly i’m not suggesting that from the moment you pick up a bow, you keep one eye closed. and obviously personal preference plays a roll, and consistency is the main thing to be concerned about as with everything involving archery, but if you’re hunting or shooting in low light, and your eyes are relatively even as far as dominance (most people are like this - you can see/aim out of both, even if you’re not ambidextrous or have a preference for one strongly), closing or mostly closing your non-shooting eye helps eliminate inconsistencies. if there isn’t a huge difference in eye dominance, it’s very easy for the non-aiming eye to take control of the situation - especially in low light

AH!

8: what artistic medium do you use to express your feelings? my FEELINGs? uhh gif reactions

22: are you a morning person? nah. which sucks cuz I'm a teacher. and also I know to get back on track with my workouts I have to start working out in the morning, which means getting up at 4:30 instead of 5:30. and I'm not happy about it so I'm just gonna pretend I didn't have that revelation earlier this week and that there's no solution to my exercise troubles.

6. What do you wish you could tell your past self?

@jencala I mean, definitely don’t go look at yesterday’s conversation in the sexuality talk on discord then >.>
