I Thought My Laptop Was On Its Last Leg Because It Was Running At Six Billion Degrees And Using 100%

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

Mudwing WTA! (Open!)

Here we have an unfortunately dragon who lost both their front legs, and now rely on the strength of their wings to traverse, both on land and in the air.

This fella is a WTA, or Write to Adopt!

The prompt is simple: Write a backstory on how they lost their limbs and anything else you’d like to add about them!

Feel free to write a story in the replies, or to avoid the reply wordcount limit, feel free to reblog! Any type of additional information you create about them is encouraged, and you can absolutely draw them if you want (though this is mainly a WTA, I’ll make a Draw to Adopt soon)!

I’ll give it a few days before I decide where their new home will be! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! 🧡

Okk I fear i won't finish itUMM first attempt ever advice welcome

A favorite series

I truly enjoy how much Animorphs is like “here are our young heroes, each with a distinctive trope to fill in the group!” And then it makes you watch how the pressure of each person’s role grinds them to dust. And also they have homework.

I always assumed boats were used for hauling cargo like large loads of fish or whale pieces. Keeping sharks away from them and maybe adding a top to keep the birds off

OK HEAR ME OUT:

it's cannon that dragons wear glasses, but, like, what about seawings? Obviously you can't wear glasses underwater. Do you think they have like- some super cool special glasses??? I don't think it was ever mentioned in the series, nor do we meet a seawing with glasses.

WELL, WHAT IF:

That's why boats exist! It is cannon that boats exist and are used by seawings. Maybe seawings who can't swim large distances underwater because they need glasses sail instead? IDK IT SEEMS COOL

BUT TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I'M KINDA STUPID

Yes, absolutely. I'm working on a dark red Nightwing, a sunset pink Skywings would be interesting

should there be more pink Skywings?

.

I suppose the big reason I prefer to draw a line between steampunk (i.e., taking modern ideas about what a high-tech society ought to look like and projecting them backwards onto an imagined 1890s) and Victorian retrofuturism (i.e., taking what people who actually lived in the 1890s imagined the year 2000 would look like and running with it) is because the second one is typically way more batshit than the first. Steampunk gets you giant robot spiders; Victorian retrofuturism gets you a habitable Lunar surface populated by anthropomorphic bat people. These are both very cool, but the latter has a certain something the former lacks.
