im bringing only music, ebooks and a notepad on this 8hr flight. i've NEARLY finished mms ch11 and need some inspiration for ch12, so with a bit of luck in 2 weeks i'll dish out some updates

got my @splatoontarot.bsky.social !!! congrats for this absolutely amazing project ❤️ all the cards and merch are so beautiful and thoughtful. i felt embarrassingly sappy seeing the world card :')

lovely commission for a lovely person

was about to tell them to choke and die for scamming writers (most who are probably neurodivergent like me) but then bsky would say i'm "rude"

they are back. fml they nearly got me excited that someone's read thru my writing but they PUT MY SHIT THRU AN LLM. you know what. fuck the internet

an ominous illustration of Salmonids from Splatoon crowded together on top of a building dripping with green ink, as even taller buildings burn behind them. in the front and center is a chum salmonid wielding a frying pan, mouth open towards the viewer. surrounding it are several more chums, a Goldie, a smallfry with a knife, and a stinger. the salmonids further back are looking into the pink towards a horrorboros flying above, readying a bomb. the skies are a bright reddish-pink, and there are 7 rings made of clouds, each one seeming to be a hole in the sky emitting beams of light. also seen in the sky in the distance are a few motherships, chinooks, and a flyfish.

INKOPOLIS WILL FALL

finally gave this piece I did in 2019 a refresh to make it fitting for #Splatoon 3 and big run! now with more accurate pink skies and a horrorboros.
(this piece is also available as a print! see replies for more info)

ty! yeah i'd love to finish that up sometime

i also discovered i hate procreate for finished/coloured illustrations but for sketching it’s not bad. i have that csp muscle memory too ingrained

OH. lmao. knee comment threw me off, but yeah that sucks :/

tip: pole dancing knee pads
saved my knees from complete destruction back when i was doing a lot of floorwork 👍👍

happy to leave stuff to be found for others later, that way i don't get hung up on the lack of instant response. speaking of, i'll go thru your site's writing section sometime to feel inspired again. ITS MUTUAL!!! i'm so happy i found you and arin through squids. i WILL finish bfh for us sickos.png

thank you gio, it means a lot for me :] honestly it's reassuring to know that we're in similar situations, with too little time but SO MUCH left to read and write. i think there's also some incompatibility between how fast-paced fandom has become and how our work fits in, but i now realise that i'm

also i forgor to post abt it but i compiled my writing (portfolio & scraps) on my website so now you can scroll thru it contextless :]

also, thanks for commenting/liking/kudosing on anything i ever posted. i probably wouldnt have gone a decade doing this if it wasnt for the support ❤️

my question is... is there still a desire to read all of this stuff? if not, i can slowly wrap it up in a shittier state and call it done, accept that it'll be just for my sense of closure. if there is, i'll make an effort to promo and prioritise it more. i need to know this isn't going to the void

these for virtually no feedback. the lack of interest for barred from heaven also really disheartened me, and i was really excited for that one. i have a lot of unposted words for that fic, but i haven't edited them just because i feel so unmotivated to do so

i got a crazy amount of conflicting feelings on my writing after i turned my latest fic into a "finale" for rodi and olive, which might be subconsciously announcing an end of an era. i want to finish my ongoing works this year, and tbh stop lamenting the fact that i'm putting a lot of effort into

someone without context on my ocs can even get into this stuff. also, it still takes me months to post a chapter (i've got a goal to improve that), the existing material is Dense to say the least, and i keep rapidly flicking between "this sucks" and "this rocks" with it. hence the low promo of it :/

i keep going in circles w writing specifically because i can't tell if i'm on the right track with the scenes, content, details, whatever. sure it makes sense for me, but i want it to make sense for everyone. my friends have heard me talk about this crap plenty of times already so i have no clue if

yeah yeah i know, "create for yourself" which i've been doing and i'm glad i did, it changed me as a person and writer into better. but i've been really ignoring the community aspect of it, and it's biting me back atm

ngl i've been holding onto this fandom acct so long mainly because i want to finish up my fic series. i've been working on it for an embarrassing amount of time but i'm actually ok with that. i lov my squids :) i'm just more worried about the lack of feedback and having written in isolation so long

i'm mainly missing the sense of a creative community, but i'm also realising how reserved i've become with what i actually share online (if anything). i've been getting by these years with a tight knit group of irl friends, but even with them i don't share much. it's been, uh, lonely making art

i guess what i'm getting at is idk how much effort is it still worth putting into reestablishing a presence on social media. i can't really make a decision cause i've been pretty out of touch with it for the past few years, so i'm also gauging the interest like this

i feel like dumping a load of words about this account and my writing and idk, just my online presence in general. forgive if it's rambly but it's been on my mind these days

A calm morning #oc #art
