Being a primarily angst writer is so fucking funny, I just got these texts from a friend exactly 5 minutes apart
Chapter 14 of my fic is up! Go ham!
This is a happy birthday present for my friend, as sort of a thank you for getting me and our other friends into D&D. We've all been wanting to play for way too long, but it's thanks to them that we were finally able to play together and just have fun experiencing it for ourselves.
Fucking Brilliant
I just want them to have a chaotic friendship
I don’t draw stuff from my Blood Born AU much but I couldn’t stop picturing this damn reunion scene in my head, and I reeeeeeally wanted to draw their expressions. However shitty it ended up. So here’s a tease for… ah…a chapter that will come at some point in the future i guess? I’m in the midst of writing it now, but it will be a while before it actually comes out, so go ham. I’ll probably be doing a master post for this au at some point but for now here’s the link to my fic for anyone who’s interested: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28099935/chapters/68849190
So… like an iphone right?
In “Beauty and The Beast”, the magic mirror was the Beast’s harshest punishment. In order for him to see the outside world, he had to look at his reflection and confront the monster he’d become.
Me: god I wish I didn’t have boobs
Them: oh, are you trans?
Me: No I just really fucking hate having boobs
Always reblog tips for writing good representation.
Disclaimers: while I have been learning ASL (American Sign Language, I am not yet fluent. Also, I am not deaf. Both of these things being said, I have been learning ASL for nearly a year and I’ve been doing independant research about the language itself and the Deaf community. What I’ve listed below are things that I have learned from my own personal experience signing, what I’ve learned in my ASL class, and what I’ve learned from my independant research.
1) When you write signed dialogue, use quotation marks and everything else you would use for any other type of dialogue. Yes, I know they didn’t do that in the Magnus Chase series, but many Deaf readers were made uncomfortable at the choice to depict sign language as not speech. Establish early on that the character signs and then use tags such as “xe signed,” or “hir motions were snappy with irritation.”
2) Without facial expressions, someone’s signs are going to be almost meaningless. All of the grammar is in the face, as are some descriptors. For example, if you can’t see a character’s face, and you’re only looking at their hands, the signs would be the same for the statement “Xe doesn’t have dogs.” and the question “Does xe have dogs?”
3) There is no such thing as fluent lipreading. The best lipreaders in the world can only understand about 70% of what’s being said, and factors such as darkness, the presence of mustaches, lack of context, and a bunch of other common things can easily lower that ability. If someone’s lipreading, they’re taking little pieces of what they can lipread, and stitching together context and other details to get a general picture of what’s going on, but there’s still always going to be holes.
4) If you’re writing a character who can’t hear, know the difference between deaf (lowercase d) and Deaf (uppercase D). The medical term for not being able to hear anything is deaf. People who use their deafness as part of their identity are referred to, and refer to themselves as Deaf. They are part of the Deaf community.

Because sometimes you just wanna draw an Oni teen in modern clothes.png (~2020 when digital art was new for me)
As much as I would love to say something like “kudos are just as good” or “Count your blessings, every kudos is someone who loves and appreciates your work” I feel this more than I could ever preach that.
Srsly, comment on your favourite fics, let the author know that someone sees their hard work and appreciates it.
Let them know their work made you feel something, anything at all.
Don’t be silent, or your favourite authors will be.
This is why I like character driven plots, there’s reasoning behind everything a character does that’s tied to who they are as a person, and you can see that used to great effect in Aurora.
It really helps too that these are very clearly multifaceted individuals with their own strengths, weaknesses, similarities, differences… they are their own people and it’s really interesting to see that, not just in how they contrast each other in their responses, but in why and who they are even before we know anything about backstories for 2/4.
It’s just good writing my man.
What did Kendal tell the others? Why has Falst jumped to the conclusion that Kendal has to be broken out immediately and is being used as a hostage? Why are they so on edge if theoretically Kendal will be released once they leave?
The gist is that he's being imprisoned until they leave, don't freak out, it's fine. Pretty simple message.
Erin recognizes a power play when he sees one. Zuurith has snatched and imprisoned Kendal, and even if he's supposed to be released once they leave, it's not ideal. Erin does not have the authority to challenge Zuurith directly over this, and if he tries, he risks dragging Asera into an actual intercity conflict. This puts himself and Kendal squarely in the sights of Asera and the mage academy, something he's trying to avoid until he's got his own business more under control. He also risks drawing attention from the Paladins if he does anything too dramatic. Erin needs to trust that Zuurith will release Kendal as promised, because if the diplomatic option fails, his only other options have catastrophic collateral impact.
Falst recognizes an abuse of power when he sees one. Kendal is a lot like him in some ways. Falst knows the security a city provides is conditional and easily misused to harm people the city doesn't like. With Kendal imprisoned, no matter how diplomatic they claim the process is, Zuurith now has leverage over all of them, and is clearly using leverage over Kendal to keep him restrained. This city has made its intentions very clear, so it's time to defend themselves. Underneath, he also deeply dislikes the indication that if he was in Kendal's position, Erin wouldn't hesitate to leave him behind.
Alinua is torn. She knows that this isn't something she can fight. She's not a diplomat, she's not even halfway experienced with nuanced social situations, and Kendal specifically told her this is his problem to solve because nobody else can. All she can do in this situation is brute force and divine fiat, and brute force will cause more problems than it fixes. But she hates leaving Kendal in this situation, especially since she knows his self-sacrificing habits make him an unreliable judge of how much danger he's actually in.
