Um So I Might’ve Forgot To Write The Second Chapter But I SWEAR I AM WORKING ON IT! 😭

Now that I think about it, I want my 7ds oc to be a bit lighter since she lives inside of the mountains and snow a lot. Hm maybe I should start making concept art before just diving into the character.

Sadly my work of Desdemona has been deleted BUT I did a doodle to take my mind off of school and the deleted work

Y/n- Toby I think I-

Toby- You don’t do that very well.

IMPORTANT!!!

So sorry I've been taking a break from writing but I have started another project! It is a small fiction between a dragon and a demon! So my post will be about the two and about the small story from now! But I have some WIPS about Desmonda so don't worry but this blog will change from the whole 7ds franchise for a bit!

Y/N- *Looking at sweets and plushies* I wonder if Naomi will like this..

Naomi- *Lost in a forest trying to find pretty rocks for Y/n*

This is such a big help omg

I recommend searching for it on VK, it comes with all the other Thesaurus(ses?) too. It's really helpful, especially the examples at the beginning and the notes after each section!

Sooon I mightvee gotten too instersted into DND, I want to make a character but I need tips! She is a jester, half-elf, and a sorcerer! Any types of tips would be amazing, much love and thanks!

I HATE FANDOMS NOW! Like everything is ‘cringe’ or ‘chronically online’!! I seen this girl explain how ships were apart of fandom culture and mfs were in the comments like “You mean chronically online culture!?” NO NO NO!! I’m so tired of these people coming into fandoms and hate when people act like fans! LIKE SHUT UP AND LEAVE IF YOU DONT LIKE IT! AND THEY ARE LIKE AN VIRUS SPREADING TO OTHER PEOPLE! Like what do you mean we can’t ship, have headcanons, self ships, or redraws, and analysis! WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? EDIT?! Like omgg I just wished people understood that you don’t have to be a die hard fan to be in a fandom but you don’t have to be such a Debbie downer that no one wants to do anything!

Tried to draw Naomi but I made her blonde but I’ll live..

TW- ED and bullying.

Since creepypasta was really popular in the 2010’s and late 2000’s I feel like I want to kinda show that in the fic. This is kinda something I wanted to talk about but would anyone will be willing to read my stuff if I made some characters have eating disorders or them being bullies or being bullies. I know that these things are pretty dark but those weren’t uncommon in the late 2000’s and 2010’s.
