By the way, fanfiction isn't the place for reviews or criticism.
When you're a published author, it's like you're preparing a meal in a food competition. You expect a rating and to be told what worked and what didn't to improve your craft and embark on your career.
When you're a fanfiction author, it's like taking some of your free time to enjoy the process of baking cookies and then offering them to someone to be kind.
If you take a cookie from the plate, you don't spit it out and tell them it sucked.
Unless the writer asks for your opinion, you can keep it to yourself.
Adding this to clarify, and you don't have to agree with this by any means, I cannot force you to, but the reason Ao3 and Fanfiction isn't the space for criticism and ratings...is that it is a fan space created by fans for fans.
It isn't school.
It is a space where people with the same interests can congregate and enjoy the same fandom.
When you think about commenting on an fanfic authors fics, don't think if it as fishing around in your pocket to give them a compliment.
Compliments are nice. Most everyone likes compliments.
"I like your character development."
"You paint wonderful imagry."
Those are comments that are compliments. Speaking for myself as a fanfic writer they're nice, but they're not what my fan heart craves.
I want engagement with my readers.
The best comments I get aren't talking about my skill as a writer, but what just happened in the story because you and I (the reader) are already fans of the world created.
Comments like:
"NOOOOOOOO!"
"Did she actually just do that?"
"EXCUSE me?!?!"
None of these comments are compliments and none are critical. They are emotionally aligned with the story. They are engaged and with this engagement we create a little community in this tiny little space we get to call ours.
I cannot stop people from saying cruel things, but I can inform those people of the "dangers" so to speak when people treat fandom spaces like Ao3 as if it's Goodreads.
Writers, who write for themselves and offer it to you out of kindness, can decide that if people are just going to spit out their cookies they don't need to post about them anymore and that is how fandom spaces die.
If you don't like the flavor of cookie they made, or you're allergic to one of its ingredients...don't eat the cookie. Put it back for someone else to enjoy and then go find the flavor you do like.
This is my comfort character but if I think about them for too long I take incredible amounts of psychic damage
Teenage mutant ninja turtles! One of the things a grew up with,
I tried mixing the 2012 and 2018 looks together I think it came out really nice! (Even if it doesn’t look as intended with the mix)
I know the 2018 series can get a little controversial at times but I like the designs, their all different types of turtles which is pretty neat And fun! And they still have those fun and exaggerated expressions that I love and even try to incorporate in my own art, theres also thier accessories and markings that they have which is what I used in an attempt at mixing them, (along with the other types but that doesn’t show to well) I tried to make Raph look bigger but it didn’t work to well due to angles, I also ment to give Donnie glasses but I forgot,
Up close
+ random parts of the process
I’ve never drawn the turtles until I did this so it was certainly new and for something new it came out quite well! Even if they don’t look as much like their 2018 counter parts as I’d like them to
I also drew this with the new brush and it was wonderful!~
Sat April 19th, by the way the drawing labeled April 18th and 19th were basically all done in one night, thought it was fun to shear that
i've been lightly considering making a discord server for writers in the sonic fandom to send/talk about their fics, aus, ocs, stuff like that. would anyone be interested in that? feel free to drop a comment
Would Sonic still be considered the fastest thing alive if he ran with his hands? Like a handstand? Acrobat type shit. Are just his legs fast or do his arms and other senses have super speed too?
salvagepunk!au guys go looking for scrap metal
Happy 30 years to the best guys around! I present: ICONSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Free to use with credit! ;)
Bonus w/o circle:
so my wonderfull friend on here loves turtles and the Tmnt and I kinda started switching fandoms. . . .its like in between Mha: Vigilantes and Tmnt 2012 so yur gonna have to shear content. . . . .
Anyway! Drawing of Leo!
something about this is just so Nice to look at and visually pleasing! I love it so much! I was also playing around with a new brush and it again just looks so nice for this! I was actually originally just gonna do vary little color as a style. . . that didnt happen tho
I love Leo! Fri April 18th/19th also I do have more are of the turtles
Stinky animation
felt compelled to draw Sonic and Surge picking up their little buddies from baby fight club. unfortunately there are no winners in baby fight club 😔
they're definitely in that awful social interaction limbo where you've already said goodbye to someone and then you both start walking the same direction and it's soooo awkward. probably moreso than normal because Surge tends to sign off with a "I will fuck you up on tuesday !!!!" just pretend they're not there girl you got this
so excited for issue 78 next week, hopefully baby fight club won't get too crazy </3
Hello, hello! This is just where all my reblogs go! Will I ramble on here? Eh, who knows. Not me, that's for sure.
