*SWOOPS IN* I GOT THIS ONE

- glitchedpuppet (author of Floraverse) is probably my biggest inspiration, I’ve been following them ever since I started working to expand my visual art skills (their honestly largely the reason I got into drawing at all haha wow). Their painting style and use of color blow me away even after five years of following their work…

- VivzMind (author of Zoophobia) is a big inspiration to me. I adore her character design and style! And her wide cast of characters as well. I’d love to develop my style to be as loose and expressive as her’s. 

- Lilaira is another artist whose work I really really enjoy! I adore their detailed and unique style, and that they do a lot of feral/rough work. A lot of aspects of their work are things I hope to achieve in my own art someday…

- Maddie C. has some great stuff!! I’m in love with their linework, colors, and just, like, their style, how far they push and exaggerate things…! I feel like their art is the best idea of what my stuff might be like someday if i try really hard ;o; (also this is the comic that led me to them and it’s still one of my faves i love everything about it pls look at it)

Also this ’ temporary tradesman’ and ‘less that 5%’ is historical bullshit.

@kafushel - every moment of every day basically (also i’ll tag @dalishfreckles so you have a better chance of seeing this)

my cat!!! fun fact: he turns 14 today

cool weather with blue skies and fluffy clouds, maybe a few rain showers

bubblebaths where i can eat strawberries and watch my fave shows

@zennaphobia / @ohmyhubris ( for future reference <3 ) being a cutie pie

1. This week, I’m feeling very proficient and good at my job which is something rare and that I have never really felt. It makes me feel like I have some worth in an area that I’m not the most confident in. Yes, this ( this week ) makes me happy <3

2. This woman’s poems. Man, her poems might not be the positive or uplifting that you are looking for, but she spites PURE FIRE. See this one and this one. This is good to write with in the background.

3. Being able to write semi regularly and posting it without feeling anxious like I’ve been doing in the past few days. It doesn’t mean I’ll be able to continue doing it but I’m liking it and it makes me happy.

4. You, Novalicious, you make me happy by how wonderful you are by just sprinkling random positivity. I hope that you are feeling well, that you are accomplishing everything that you want, never stop being wonderful ( your likes on some aesthetics post from time to time make me feel really good )

I am proud to have taken you down with me

I will go down in flames with the SS Undertale Ship Trash with you happily - you totally had that planned from the get go, didn’t you?

Yay! So glad to hear from you! I’m so excited your wedding is finally happening. You must be caught in that huge prewedding crush right now though

@zennaphobia asked to hear about my oc Maggie Malone, so here’s a little snippet I threw together last night.

The first thing that people would say when hanging off a cliff over oceanside Greece would be “Don’t look down!” Maggie, however, couldn’t help but admire the view from a hundred feet over the sapphire blue waves. Even though her leg was bleeding, her arms were aching, her fingers were trembling as they clung to the white rock, and she might be seconds away from her own demise.

Still, the location couldn’t be beat.

Maggie struggled to pull herself up, so she could at least look her would-be, might-be killer in the eyes, like a decent victim. It took a while, but with her feet scrambling for a foothold and all of her remaining energy centered on what little biceps she had, she managed to get her forearms over the cliff and finally her chin. She resolved to do way more pull-ups when she got out of this. If she did.

She took a moment to survey the danger in front of her rather than the danger below. Four of Katsaros’s goons, all at least a foot taller than she was. One empty handed (save for his cell phone), three armed, one with his pistol pointed at Cherise, all four with annoyingly beautifully shaped noses. Oh, and Cherise. Cherise wouldn’t hurt her, but she did look rightfully pissed.

Okay, maybe Cherise would hurt her. But later, in the relative safety of Not Here.

“Is there any way we can talk this out, boys?” Maggie asked, still slightly out of breath from her near-plummet.

“Not a chance, Malone,” Cell Phone Goon said. “You have what Katsaros wants. Why don’t you give him the pendant so we can give it to him, huh? Then maybe we won’t shoot you. Or your little friend here.”

Maggie decided that out of all of them, his nose was the least handsome.

She slowly turned her head and surveyed the drop once more. It wasn’t horribly appealing.

“Okay buddy, last chance,” Maggie warned. “You let us go, and I won’t kick your ass later.”

He had the nerve to laugh. Slowly, the others began to laugh with him. One cheerfully poked Cherise on the shoulder with his gun. She did not appear quite as cheerful.

Cell Phone Goon calmed down after a moment. “You’re funny, Malone. I’m gonna miss you.”

“Well, that’s really sweet.” Maggie sighed, still clinging to the cliff. She would have to do this the hard way. “I just have one question. Before I fall to my death, or get shot or whatever.”

Cell Phone Goon shrugged. “Sure. What?”

“Oh, not for you. Cherise, pop quiz. How do you say ‘good bye’ in Greek?”

Cherise wrinkled her nose. “Easy. It’s antio.”

“That’s funny,” Maggie said. “I pronounce it jump.”

Then she let go.

TA DA! A little extra info: Magnolia “Maggie” Maria Malone (just for the heck of it) is an archaeologist, in the Indiana Jones sense of the word. She is a disgraced Cambridge grad student, framed for a crime and still bitter about it. She travels the world with her assistant/best/only friend Cherise, uncovering ancient secrets with the only other archaeologists that still trust her after her expulsion and trying to avoid her ex best friend/roomate/worst enemy, Chesterfeld.

Still in fucking love with your hair

My old folks commented one time that my hair looked like fire. It’s really tempting for the next dye to add red to it. So it goes blue-purple-red (probably) if I can manage it.
