Leonid Pasternak  (Ukrainian, 1862–1945) - The Torments of Creative Work

The spirit dragons in botw and totk are my favorite things. (I’m mostly ignoring the lore of them from totk cause I can)

Heres this being that only you and the pure of heart can see. Their very presence causes elemental balls of destruction to form. They are so big that you shooting an arrow at them doesn’t even seem to register to them. Nor does climbing on them. In botw they appear and disappear through water portals.

They really are spirits who happen to be dragons more than dragons who happen to have spirit powers.

On some level they are benevolent. They seem to guard the three springs and have a connection to the goddesses but they don’t seem to do much but exist. But god are they pretty and their theme is amazing. One of my favorites next to the stable theme. 10/10 creatures

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

I'm trying to draw jolteon and everytime I redraw his body he keeps getting fluffier

Soon it will consume him

Best one shot I've ever read lmao

Behold the village idiot in his natural habitat; the floor

Another redraw! This one doesn’t look bad for being 4 years old. It just needed a bit of polishing.

I didn’t mean for this to have a painting style but I can’t deny I kinda love it
