This is so real. I get stressed about seeing abhorrent grammar and spelling mistakes in writing, but I don’t obsess over getting it right like how I do with my writing.
Me reading another person's writing: Oh they missed a period there, no worries mistakes happen :) Three adjectives in a sentence? Adverbs for days? No worries I love descriptions and this story is fire.
Me seeing the same thing in my work: Wow am I illiterate? Am I actually ok? Who the actual fuck told me I can write so I can go and curse their entire family for the time it took for me to carefully craft this GARBAGE.
looking through my old artwork
This was probably the first drawing I did of mushrooms.
I think it went better this time. Still trying to figure out how to properly draw the hands, feet, and quills, but at least I drew them this time
(ignore the faded mushroom in the background; I drew that first and tried to erase it so I’d have space to draw my OC)
(and I was drawing in a dark room, so some of the stuff might look janky)
…I hate that I have to exclude the people without an account from seeing my writing… but… I don’t want my writing to be fed to an AI without my knowledge (not like I’d do that willingly anyway).
As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.
I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.
The one comment I’ve gotten was about… I think offering their services to animate or promote it or whatever. I responded to it and it got deleted. Sad.
I’ve gotten several comments like these over on Wattpad as well. Pretty sure it’s a scam.
reblog if you’re a writer who’s very terrible at responding to comments from your readers, but has read them all and loves and appreciates each and every single one of them very dearly
have some old drawings of sandworms I did when I was hyperfixating on Beetlejuice
She’s starting to look better… I think I figured out the quills… but I can’t get the eyes a reasonable size, lol

Surprisingly, it only took me a little over two hours to color her in on IbisPaintX.

The only difference is that the one on the right is at 175% zoom instead of only 100% zoom.
