I depend on you.

Inspired by this twitter post

This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.

I love, love, LOVE it when I can tell a fic author has integrated their specialized knowledge in a fic. I was reading a fic that at some point included the character going to visit an art therapist, and it's so clear that the author is an art therapist themself, and the details included are just immaculate and I love it. I've previously read about a character doing fencing for no other reason than the author clearly wanting to write a sport they understood. A character being given a hyperfixation on bugs just so the author can infodump themselves.

I eat it up every time, it brings such a smile to my face

WIP initials game!

How it works: You will be given a word. Share one sentence/excerpt from your WIP(s) that starts with each letter of that word!

My word: BLADE (thanks for the tag, @e-n-t-r-o-p-i-c-f-r-o-g!)

I'll only take excerpts from unpublished chapters of works that I already started posting :)

B (from Rotting Waters)

“Beautiful dog, Xuan Zhen” Jun Wu comments suddenly. “What breed is it?”

His voice startles both Mu Qing and Feng Xin. Sabre looks at him too, stretching her strong neck slightly, maybe to sniff. Jun Wu doesn’t move to interact with her, so after a hesitant wag of tail, she sits down.

“It’s an Akita,” Mu Qing replies after a second. “Her name is Sabre.”

L (from The Perfect Gift)

Looking at them go, Link had to admit that the gerudo was surprisingly pragmatic. In their place, Sidon would've lost his goddam mind; he wouldn't have left Link alone until he said something. Even Zelda would be alarmed. Tuori, though? They were content just knowing Link wouldn’t kick the bucket while they finished the job.

A (from Treasure Hunting in the Clouds)

“An explosive?” San Lang asks with less alarm or surprise in his voice than Xie Lian expected, which makes him feel optimistic.

“A grenade, to be precise. I thought it was a steel cup at first.”

“That sounds terribly dangerous.”

His tone is neutral, but Xie Lian tenses anyway.

D (from Rotting Waters)

“Does Jun Wu know you’re bringing her?”

“Yeah, duh.”

“And why didn’t you tell me?”

“Whose dog is it?”

Feng Xin will kill him.

E (from Treasure Hunting in the Clouds)

Even if they weren’t doing… whatever they’re doing, Xie Lian’s flimsy jacket has little to offer against the low temperature and strong winds awaiting them. Already quite familiar with the unpredictability of British weather, he packed a winter coat in his checked bag, but said checked bag got stuck or misplaced at some point along the way back, probably between Los Angeles and Chicago, and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever see it again (he doesn’t have high hopes).

This was fun! I'm not sure who to tag, so feel free to join if you see this. The word is going to be MAGIC.

The fact that there's an actually functional website for the library of Babel is one of those things that fucks me up more and more the more I think about the implications.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

The flow of time is always cruel.

Revising some of my horse drawing tips pages, starting with necks!

Corrected some muscle names and added more explanation/ method.

Thanks for the tag. Here's both of us, as per tradition~

Fanart of GRIS, one of my favourite games! The perspective changes are based on Escher’s Another World, which I thought would work well with the geometric art of GRIS.

Happy 2025! I spent the first day of this new year getting something done that I had pending since April 2024, hahaha. Here's the full interview I had with Inbox13 by Canal Trece Colombia about my work as a cosplayer, subtitled in English!

Say hi to Manfred! I made him as a birthday present to my dear friend @tiiracotta, who's a big Dragon Age fan.

I had a blast working all the little details on the 40cm tall skeleton base I got in a Halloween clearance sale. All the other materials came from my stash, including the eyes, which were originally part of my prop sword sheath for my cosplay of Kusuriuri from Mononoke. The ornaments have been falling off through the years, so I recently replaced a few, and it was by noticing how similar the green crystals are to Manfred's eyes that I had the idea to make the whole doll.

I've always loved puppets, dolls and miniatures, so I hope I can make more projects like this in the future!

Quick,You now live your icon's life,HOW SCREWED ARE YOU?

The ByTheBi's Collection: Style Your 20cm Minidoll After Three Selected TGCF Fanfiction Stories

Yaban's Doll Atelier is proud to present the ByTheBi's Collection, an indispensable addition to the closet of your 20cm Minidoll. Re-enact three beloved stories by acclaimed fanfiction author ByTheBi with these exclusive sets of accessories.

‘One Man's Treasure’ - A set worthy of love

Read the fic on AO3

Some habits are hard to break, even after millennia. Hua Cheng knows this best, as he always accompanies Xie Lian on his dumpster-diving adventures.

This set includes one raggedy fox plush, two poorly translated shirts, and a clean bin to keep things organised. The fox has already been taken care of, and his hand-embroidered eyepatch is removable to reveal Hua Cheng's signature red eye.

In honour of Xie Lian's scrap-collecting passion, everything in this set is made with recovered/recycled materials.

‘Your Package Has Been Delivered’ - These toys are not for kids!

Read the fic on AO3

Hua Cheng's packages keep getting delivered to his cute neighbour, which is all fine and dandy until some special toys get mixed in the mail! While Hua Cheng is the one who sees the contents of Xie Lian's discreet package in the fic, here we picture the opposite because Yaban's Doll Atelier can't afford Hua Cheng's modelling fees seeing Xie Lian's reaction in that scenario would've been very funny.

This set includes two labelled black boxes, two invoices, two receipts, one bottle of lube, a cock ring and the infamously dubbed "Colon Destroyer" with its remote controller. Hua Cheng did his best to conceal the fact that he opened Xie Lian's box, but you can see some traces of the debacle if you look carefully.

‘With Patience, With Love’ - A cosy set to eternal happiness

Read the fic on AO3

Hua Cheng is acting strange, and Xie Lian doesn't know what to think when he catches him lying. Deciding to trust him no matter what, his loyalty gets rewarded with a surprise made with the utmost patience and the utmost love.

This set includes a long ivory scarf, a thrifted mug that says "Coffee isn't my cup of tea", fairly lights, and 25 paper butterflies with the motives and colours described in the story.

Those years after the war hit Xie Lian hard…

Lucanis: "For what it's worth, Spite seems to miss him."

Emmrich: "Does he?"

Lucanis: "Sort of like a cat when you shutter the windows and stop him from watching birds."

• Chapter 4: Descent

It's time for another Hualian modern meet-cute! Witness the blooming of the most convoluted (kinda?) parasocial relationship, featuring: -Air traffic mayhem -Mistaken clothes -Only one bed -Videoblogging -A gay wedding -Explosives?

Summary: Hua Cheng’s flight gets off to a bad start when the airline arbitrarily gives half of his first class couple’s pod to a stranger. To add insult to injury, he arrives back to his seat only to find that the intruder has mistaken Hua Cheng’s jumper with the plane’s pyjamas! Before he can kick up a fuss, though, something in this man’s face strikes him as familiar…

Wait a second, isn’t this the super cute guy from the last video that Hua Cheng watched while at the lounge before the flight?

Yaban has two roots: the original in Japanese is 野蛮 (yaban) and it means "barbaric" or "wild". The second is Chinese 假扮 (jiǎbàn) and it means "to impersonate". Adding to that the powers of the character that inspired me to take the name in the first place, Ban Midou from Get Backers, my superpowers include: super strength, hypnosis/mind control, shape shifting and a berserk mode. Plus creation, whatever that means, lol. Not bad!

Open tag! Have fun~

Xie Lian knows the sound of a well-oiled machine when he hears one. And the pleasant rumbling that tickles his eardrums must be from one stopped right outside.

Which is odd. Only because Xie Lian usually repairs broken machines. It’s incredibly rare for an already fine-tuned engine to seek him out for help. And even if so, they are always accompanied by another that requires attention.

This machine isn’t here for a repair.

It isn’t here for him.

Xie Lian isn’t that lucky.

And yet, there’s a knock on his door.
