Writing Advice From My Uni Teachers:

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

Happy Pride Month From Your Neighborhood Gray!! I Forget That Asexuality Has Been Severely Misrepresented

happy pride month from your neighborhood gray!! I forget that asexuality has been severely misrepresented and that a lot of people don’t actually know what it is as a result so here is an overview of what asexuality is, what it’s not, and how acephobic is represented. there is so much more to asexuality than just this. I didn’t even mention the medicalization of asexuality! 

I highly rec scretspiderlady on Twitter because she writes a lot about the ace experience and has many comprehensive threads. I also rec Yasmin Benoit, a Black aroace lingerie model who is fighting misinformation about asexuality and shedding light on racism within the asexual community. if you’re interested in more resources feel free to dm me!

EDIT: I updated the slide that refers to asexuality as “aspec” to “acespec.” The term aspec refers to the a community as a whole – both asexuals and aromantics – while acespec refers to the asexual spectrum and arospec referes to the aromantic spectrum. You can see this mirrored in the terms acephobia (experienced by aces), arophobia (experienced by aros), and aphobia (experienced by both aces and aros). Thank you to those of you who tagged this post with their correction!

EDIT 2: now with a text-only option!

Outertale Flames Tutorial~

A follow-up to this ask!! I apologize if any of this is unclear, I’ve never done a tutorial before XP ALSO - I do all of my stuff in PaintTool Sai, so some layer modes might not match for those of you with other programs!

image

1) First things first, I color everything in the dark blue in my color palette. This is the darkest color I’m going to use, everything is lighter from here.

image

2) In a new clipping layer above the base color, I use either an airbrush or a watercolor brush to add a bit of light to the lower half of the face. I use the lightest blue on the palette, and the layer mode is set to “Lumi & Shade”

image

3) Next I color the eyes and mouth if needed. I use the same light blue on a new layer. The opacity is set to around 80% and the layer mode is “Lumi & Shade” again.

image

4) On to the purple! New layer, also on “Lumi & Shade”, and I use an airbrush or watercolor tool. I basically do what I did for the lower face, except the purple is coming down from the top.

image

5) New layer! This time it will be set to “Overlay” and I use the pink! With a regular brush. When I am doing this, I want the pink to sort of swirl out from his forehead and travel in whatever direction his flames are angled. I then take a blur tool, and very lightly blur the ends, just to make it look a little neater.

image

6) New layer again! No layer mode this time (you can totally put it on a layer mode, I just prefer not to). I use the same brush tool as I did with the pink and do the same thing with the yellow. Swirl it up from the forehead and in the direction of the flames.

image

7) New layer! “Lumi & Shade” 80%(ish) Opacity! Same thing with the pink and yellow! There will be less room, so I also put a little streak down on his neck.

image

8) This step is optional, I just do it to give the color a little more vibrancy. I run each color over itself with a big airbrush in a new “Overlay” layer. It helps harmonize the colors in a way.

image

9) S P A R K L E S This is on a new layer, the mode is set to “Luminosity”. Then on a new “Lumi & Shade” layer, I airbrush some of the light blue over the eyes to make them glow.

image

10) LAST STEP! On a new clipping layer above the lines, I use a darker variant of each color to color the lineart. Above that, I make an “Overlay” layer and draw on the lenses of the glasses with white.

image

And that’s it! You now have a glittery star boy. I hope this was helpful! Honestly, this is just how I do it, you can do it any way you want. If there’s any confusion, I’ll do my best to clear it up :D

Annie are you ok

Seeing a lot of debate recently on if bowuigi is a 'healthy' ship or how to make it 'work' and be 'non-problematic'.

Friendly reminder your ship doesn't have to be healthy. You dont need to justify why you want a evil turtle and a plumber to fuck. You don't have to do a redemption if you don't want too. You can keep Bowser a raging asshole if you feel like it. Or make him sweet as pie. You can make luigi like him for any reason you want.

Your ship doesn't have to be squeaky clean pure-or hell-even follow anything with canon. You can make a AU so detached from canon its basically its own new property if you want.

Shipping is supposed to be fun. If you find yourself sitting there trying to draw or write and find yourself trying to write your characters as pure as possible so you don't get backlash remind yourself the first rule of creating: the audience is YOU first, everyone else second.

Some People hate my human Bowser. I'm still going to draw him. Some people hate my comic. I'm still going to write it.

Drawing and writing is only fun if you allow yourself to tell the story you want too. Remember that.

I watched a YouTuber play this cuz I wasn’t paying 60 for that, but I really liked the cutscenes and the mini Marios to make a little something. I know that dk, Luigi, peach, and Pauline get their own toys in a later game but I like to make up in-game realities so what can I say

Also, WHEN IS NINTENDO GONNA RELEASE A LUIGI TOY FIGURE/PLUSH!? OR OF ANY OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS!?
