Encouragment for writers that I know seems discouraging at first but I promise it’s motivational-
• Those emotional scenes you’ve planned will never be as good on page as they are in your head. To YOU. Your audience, however, is eating it up. Just because you can’t articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesn’t mean it’s not impacting the reader.
• Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasn’t necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now it’s gotta go. It doesn’t make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.
• There are several stories just like yours. And that’s okay, there’s no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your story “original” is that it’s yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.
• You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But don’t accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Don’t be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things won’t improve, and that’s not you. It’s going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise you’ll like the outcome.
Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.
I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.
Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.
Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.
Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.
animals in my artworks- just realised how little I draw people
Since ya'll liked my Ceres post so much...
Proto Earth and Proto Ceres!!!
Little facts about them:
-They were best friends in the past! Most of the old rockies wouldn't really approach Proto-Earth, due to a long rivalry he had with Theia (Nobody really wanted to pick sides, but Theia was Mars' and Venus' best friend, and everyone liked Proto Venus and Mars)
-Proto was very protective of Ceres, an older brother kind of vibe;
-Ceres did not like Theia, nor did Theia like Ceres. Mutually assured dislike.
-Not referenced in this drawing, but Ceres, Pallas and Vesta liked to pick asteroids and make little acessories for Proto to use. Proto loved those... Most got destroyed, though. Not all by the collision.
(The Earth still has one of those that he found around in his orbit, he keeps it guarded in a locked in a locket. He doesn't know why, but it seems special, somehow.)
-The first two to ever play asteroid dodgeball.
For now, that's it. I have a lot of Headcanons about these 2, but I'll leave them for later. See ya!!!

Ep 1- What if:
Caelus takes Earth along out of the system.
This was a small thing that I thought, but what if Earth ended up going further, but instead of finding Jupiter, got lost and found Caelus first?
Short story under the cut.
Earth is lost, confused and does not know if he is going to be able to find the aswers he seeks. Caelus wants to find someone who cares about him out of being just a joke.
At first, Caelus says something, more of curiosity as to why Earth is there- It certainly is not because of him. Never because of him. The Earth, with his mind not really there, starts whispering about Life, finding aswers, angry friends and someone named Theia.
Caelus remembers that name from somewhere, somewhere before the card guessing game the Sun made them do, but he can't place it at the moment, just that it was important, or at least, it used to be. It didn't matter to him anymore, as he is keaving the system anyways.
But it seems to matter to Earth, as the small planet starts getting frustated about his aswer, over the fact that nobody seemed to either know or wanted to talk to him about it, his freezing body shivering from being too far from his orbit. Eventually, Earth tires himself out and falls asleep.
Caelus does not want to go back to the system, he does not feel like he belongs in there, but something in him also does not want to just leave Earth freezing in there, sad and alone. So, using his magic he tries his best to warm up Earth enough and holds the life planet in his arms.
And then takes them both out of the system.
After all, X would have the aswers they both seek.
I may write it more in dept in the future, but this is it for now. I think they both have some cool parallels that would make a nice story.
I might make more what is, too, if people show interest!!
Thanks for reading!!!!
