This is their first photo together))
Tbh, I respect people who, in their works, make a friendly relationship between Donnie and April. They deserve to be best friends!
(Unlike the canon)
Finally finished my first digital art this month!
(the fact this piece took me 2 days long work to finish while battling with my toxic PERFECTIONISM side 🥲🥲🥲🥲 aint easy long run, y'all....I hurted both my butt and my neck, sprained my old neck)
Raph: Where's Donnie? April: HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND! Raph: ...I never say he was? April: Oh. Haha, awkward...
Reading like a reader: You’re letting the story take you a sweep you away without worrying much about anything. You might have opinions–likes and dislikes. But for the most part, you’re just seeing where the story takes you.
Reading like a writer: You’re gutting each sentence, picking it apart and studying it. You look at what the writer does wrong and what they’ve done right and use both to help you improve. You’re actively trying to find flaws and strengths to avoid or borrow in your own writing.
When you want to relax and enjoy a story.
When you’re reading with intent to give feedback to other readers. This means reviews for sites like Goodreads or Amazon.
When you’re looking to up your writing skills.
When you’re beta reading, critiquing, or giving feedback to the writer directly.
A lot of writers find it nearly impossible to read like a reader anymore, which isn’t a bad thing. You can still 100% relax into a story and enjoy it once you’ve built up that reading like a writer muscle. It does take more work than just reading, so if you’re just starting out you may find it hard at first.
If you do read like a writer, you can of course still review a novel. However, you can’t expect all your critiques to fit into a review. Reading like a writer is very tailored frame of opinion in most cases, as it partly relates to your own writing style. A review is not the place to compare your writings. It’s a place for other readers to find out if they should give this book a chance. Complimenting/complaining about sentence structure is nitpicky and going to go over most readers heads–just say it wasn’t/was well written.
Like most things, reading like a writer vs reader is a wide spectrum. Plenty of readers that are not in fact writers read like a writer–especially voracious readers because they have a whole career of reading behind them. They’ve learned how to weed out bad books.
Throughout the course of a book you can do both in varying degrees, but at times it can be good to consciously flex those muscles. Strain and relax them. Become a better writer without even writing ❤
I just remembered I have drawn a Scarabella fan art based on Transmission episode (The Kwami's Choice part 1) Miraculous Ladybug season 5 ✨ An old artwork back on 2022 ✨🐞🥰🥰

hey, did you know that the world is a better place because of your creations and art and writing, no matter how niche or how many people see it
99% of romance books about werewolves have Some Guy on the cover and it's just devastating to me what a missed opportunity it is. SHOW ME THE MEAT
I need the 2012 fandom to talk about Donnie's contact in April's Shellphone (i forgot what they're called sue me)
That’s the song we danced at Chloe’s party, remember?
Just another poptart crazed mutant who loves TMNT and mahou shoujo animes
