♫ - What I’m currently listening to.
So, I’m aware this isn’t a personal blog, and I don’t exactly want to make it one of those, but I need to vent a bit, my friends have a lot going on in their lives that what I’m about to complain about will seem like small potatoes, and I don’t have any other social media. So, this Undertale Tumblr blog will just have to do.
For the last month and a half I’ve been attempting to get a business off the ground. I have all the documentations and legal whatnots, but what’s been holding me back is the flipping website. Maybe I’m cheap, maybe I’m just too prideful, but I decided I would build the site myself completely by scratch with zero knowledge of HTML, or CSS, or any of that. I’ve managed it. The little creative spirit in me picked up the basics after many hours of trial and error (now ask me to solve a simple math equation and you’ll see how intellectually inept I am). Amazing news, right? This website had its foot on my neck for weeks now, and this morning I was finally victorious!
Until I wasn’t.
I sent the site to my friend to test, and on mobile whenever you scrolled down it would zoom the page way out into the void. I thought I’d put back on my handy dandy hard hat and make a simple tweak here, and little change there—I fucked the whole thing up beyond repair, and I didn’t make a proper backup of the site, so now I need to start from scratch!
Well, not completely, but all the fancy code I added needs to be redone, and to be frank, um no. Not doing that shit again, so I’m just gonna have a basic ass website and call it day for now because the longer it’s taking me to mess with this thing, the longer I’m not launching my business. The little procrastinating, self-doubting, coward in me is super happy that I now have an excuse not to move forward and do this thing. Too bad since I spent too much money to just quit now.
All that said, I’ve been missing Discord lately. I’m currently only in one server, but I’d love to join another one, preferably something small and fandom focused. I’m fine with any of the fandoms I have written for (so far Undertale, Sonic, and TMNT, but you can add in ATLA too. Plus, I like some “adult” shows—whatever the fuck that means. Actually, I don’t watch much television, so that is a lie).
If anyone wants to send some servers my way I’d love that a bunch! I used to run several Discord servers back during lockdown, and I definitely do not want to do that again. Too much work that I currently can’t keep up with, but having a chill place to discuss fandom stuff, or creative projects, or fucked up websites that break on you when you change one line of code, is something I’ve been craving lately.
has gastor even done scans of the fallen children bones? and has papyrus ask for a copy for creepy reasons?
Good question! I’d say yes Gaster has, but Papyrus hasn’t yet found them. He’ll be in for a pleasant surprise once he does. Just the simple image of little bones (even dead ones) will bring him back to the first time he watched that cygnet twirl.

okay, so as I was sketching out the next page of the comic, I had to stop! I wanted to really get a handle on Sans so I have less work to do when I'm drawing the finished draft—sure, that's part of it. Another part of it was this strong urge to just get him right for his sake. Like, really right.
So how the heck am I supposed to do that?
I went right down to the bare bones (ha!). I didn't want to get too influenced by all the very impressive fan art out there, and there's just too much to count on this very website, so I used the original Sans sprite as a reference (I realize my version appears as if his arms were cut at the elbows. We'll just silently ignore that...). I then drew a real skeleton because my brain has a hard time with properly tying the two together. I suppose what I mean is, I try to imagine what the monsters of the Underground would look like in our real world, and also with a more humanoid appearance, so when I see Sans I naturally compare him to what is inside our meat suit despite him being a cartoon who should have the freedom to flourish in his art style. Its hard, I'll tell ya that! But I made an attempt here to try something that aligns more with what I want for the comic.
Maybe this will be the final look? I love to see this version of Sans having a more urban fashion sense, aggressive personality, and a bad drug problem that leaks into all aspects of his life. I'm definitely pulling from the images I included in this post, and honestly? I think we need more poverty polish applied to his bones.
I kind of want to make a similar character sheet for more of the UT cast. All in due time...

Okay, so I know this is only two pages, but I really wanted to keep up the daily posts while my attention is honed in on this. Do you guys think the tone is a bit too comedic? I know I'm asking a million questions, but the feedback is really helping to shape the comic.

Hello! It’s been 90 long neck-breaking years—or just one month, but I’m happy to be done with this round of edits for my novel.
I’m currently in a mood of absolute hatred towards that cursed book, and I just want nothing to do with it, but that could be due to all the dissection and reconstruction I had to suffer through. When I usually write fanfiction, I’ll get the rough draft done, and then do one edit (if I’m feeling pretty spicy I might do two) and then I post and instantly reap the reward of being done with a chapter for good.
With my original novel not only am I going back and do edit after edit, but I need to do it over the span of 300 pages, 70k words, and no long breaks in between. When I say I have never felt so overwhelmed by writing, well, I’ve never felt so overwhelmed by writing. And the editing is not fun on top of that, not at all, and this isn’t even the last round I need to do! And after I finish my part I still need to get a line/copywriter and then the beta readers, and then proofreader…it’s never-ending!
But, when I finally get to the end, there will be no greater feeling. I’ll feel so proud, so accomplished, because I would’ve done it. I would’ve published my own novel, and that alone reminds me that all this torturous work is well worth it.
There will be a new post for Fawn soon. Getting this project done will allow me to let out a major sigh of relief, because damnit, if I could just get a single chapter of a comic done that would be super ultra amazing. Once I finish with chapter 1, I’ve been debating changing course and trying to create a comic rendition of my Sonic fic—but God, if my Sonic Character drawing skills say hell no! Let’s not even…
Oh! And I almost forgot to include a song.

So I'm 9 days off, but I wish you all a very happy New Year! I have a big post coming up soon (I know I said that in October) as well as a detailed road map for the FAWN project. Some things have changed...again, but these changes need to be made to ensure we actually get a finished product. I'll explain it more in that post.
As for this post, I found some old plotting for The Salt Circle that I thought I'd share just to get back into the swing of posting. I used a program for the map but I cannot recall which one off the top of my head as this was about two years ago. You can see through the list below I was attempting to better gauge each skeleton. I also had some very very rough sketches that I started for each version of the brothers. I might clean those up and post them in the future. Don't let me forget because I tend to do that.
If you would like to check out The Salt Circle, you can find it here.
I'm slow to update, but I made a promise to myself that I will never drop a story even if I temporarily fall out of love with it. But, of course, that might mean a story will drag on for years and years--this year I am going to make an effort to change that starting with me posting the last 10 chapters of the Sonic fic.
So many stories, and so little free time.
just a question, ive been seeing lots of discourse in the comments of immature interest. whats ur thoughts on it? i mean, is your story meant to erotic? is it meant to be critical of the actions of the characters? cause theres some people saying "its like that to show how fucked up they are" while other people are like "i wanna see them do this taboo thing". just curious, as the author, where u stand in all of this.
Absolutely none of my stories are intended as smut unless I state otherwise. I think people tend to grow confused because I depict situations in a detailed and graphic manner, and we’re often in the heads of the predators and how they view the situation.
I tend to hope that my depicting the harmful psychological effects the victim’s suffer through afterwards, how the world around them reacts to the events (ex.: Knuckles going to the cops after Sonic tells him he raped Amy despite him not wanting to see his best friend go to prison) and just the antagonistic nature of the predators make it clear the story isn’t praising them. We’re supposed to hate Sonic and Shadow in Immature Interest. We’re supposed to feel uncomfortable when Sonic fantasizes about harming Tails. We should despise Vanilla for what she did, and we shouldn’t want Shadow to succeed in the end.
I don’t often care to moderate my comments as people are free to call me and my story gross all they want, or praise it, or I guess ask that Tails have his prostate stimulated by the doctors or whatever.
Personally, my fanfics are outlets, and I find comfort in writing the things that I do. Just because I can write these detailed horrific situations doesn’t mean I fantasize about them, or want them inflicted on anyone, quite the opposite actually. That is like stating all horror authors are serial killers because they write about murder. Clearly, this is not true.
Thanks for this ask, btw! I hope this clears up a lot of confusion. :)
Gah! UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Everything is perpetually under construction…18+For Context Read "Lugubriosity"
