SPRING SWAP!!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO DO THIS MILO

anyway he’s real for that gumshoe 🔛🔝

Transition goals

AAAHH THIS IS SO SILLY?!?! Thank you so much, I love it, I was worried I yapped too much but this is awesome, thank you again!! :0

Spring swap gift for @lornahere, where (pre-Edgeworth) Gumshoe rants to Detective Badd about work, Jake Marshall, and more! :D

Some OC stuff, was testing out my new art dice the other day :0

The Magical Menagerie zine came out!! You should totally check it out on @magical-menagerie-zine by the way… wink wink nudge nudge

With that in mind, it’s been long enough now that I can show you my comic, in which Trucy runs into a “Shadi Smith” before her father’s next poker game.

THIS IS SO SMART?? HOW DID YOU HAVE TIME FOR THIS 😨

My piece for the @aa-spring-swap! I love a nice fandom exchange when the time permits it. This gift is for @krowmanticism, who gave the prompt:

this one's totally insane and self indulgent, but i've been thinking about an aa4 ghost trick au with vera misham as the protagonist, who communicates with the living through paintings!! it'd be so cool to see what someone might come up for this. :]]

Vera's a side character I'm really fond of but haven't done anything with before, so I thought this would be fun to work on. It definitely was! More below the cut.

I think there's a lot of good potential here I could probably spend a month straight just jotting down notes for how this would all work narratively and logistically. So I just put together some fun conversational snippets until I ran out of space in tumblr's image limit.

Sprites and backgrounds are here should anyone want to play with these toys themselves.

Working on the background was probably the trickiest part; originally I wanted to try and redraw the drew studios background in the ghost trick style, but I realized pretty quickly I wouldn't be able to finish something like that within the time constraints for this event, so I tried to collage a little something together out of the actual game's assets. It was a bit finnicky but I feel like it came together well! Hope you enjoy!

Definitely check this one out!! OP was lovely to work with, and is just as lovely a writer! :D

I'm three days late but I'm going to throw myself a little ticker tape parade anyway

First off, I commissioned this art from @lornahere and I want to share it to celebrate that today is two years and three days since I published the first chapter of your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you, a fake dating/reality show Klapollo AU.

When I first started writing it, I was already working on a Legally Blonde crossover called Turnabout Blonde that was really getting most of my attention and care and ylitfdeky was just something that was, for the most part, a little light hearted distraction (while I do try to approach everything in an enjoyable way, I also definitely don't shy away when dealing with darker topics like depression, grief, mourning, or homophobia) when TB got too heavy. I had nothing but a vague idea, a blank notebook, and a pen.

Imagine my surprise when it ended up becoming my most popular story to date, so much so that there was even enough demand for a sequel.

This story challenged me in ways that I didn't expect. I learned so much about being a storyteller, and the balancing act that goes into writing fanfiction. I hopefully learned how to tell the story that people want to read while also saying what I want and not caring what they think about it. I got to try on so many different hats in terms of writing so many different characters and making sure they all had depth and nuance and weren't just caricatures.

It also brought me a lot of grief and pain and in the end pushed me not just to the edge but to San Diego, where I met Lani Minella, so I'll always be thankful for that, if nothing else, but luckily, there is so much more. I can look back at my skills as a writer and I can see now that where I am is not where I was and so much of that I taught myself from telling this story.

I know I don't normally promote my writing on here, but I'm making an exception. Happy birthday, your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you. I'm so glad I got the chance to write you. In the spirit of every chapter being a Taylor Swift lyric, I leave you with a final last one as I look back on the whirlwind the last two years was.

when i count the scars, there's a moment of truth

there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been... you

Thank you for reading, and if any of what I described sounds interesting, please check it out at the link above or the source.

Okay because Fulbright would’ve KILLED for that name

Just finished Dual Destinies (excluding the DLC…)

Yeah can you tell this was just an excuse to test different backgrounds

Deleted Farewell, My Turnabout cutscene trust me

Logan Sanders or Janus Sanders? The world needs to know, Lo-

Personally, Logan is superior, but you need to understand how funky Janus looks-
