I just did a redraw of an older drawing to get myself back into writing (it’s a teen titans x gravity falls fanfic, don’t judge me), and holy shit, what happened.
This is the original picture from December of 2020, I though this was the greatest thing at that time.
And this was completed March 31st of 2022. And I can’t stop staring at it, like what possessed me.
I think some of the biggest changes is in expression which I’m really happy about, because this is based of a scene in a later chapter, and in that scene he’s absolutely pissed. In the original he looks indifferent, emotionless almost, now you can tell he’s angry which I really like. I’ve definitely improved when it comes to lightning and shading. And the background looks so much better.
So, I got hyper fixated on Aphmau’s MyStreet in 2025, which I haven’t thought but about since like 5 years ago.
Anyways, I like many others realized that the series had so much more potential than how it’s ended up, specifically in the character department.
So I started messing around with the idea of how I’d write it and the changes I’d make.
I don’t know how I feel about including all the magic and non human shit, so as of now this is a completely normal world with some remanants of magic for slight hijinks.
I also don’t want to delve into the romance parts just yet, and honestly would rather focus on the non romantic relationships first
I’m also going to state that I absolutely love the idea of Aaron, but I don’t like the canon execution of him. Fanon Aaron is far superior, and I’m going to do my best to channel that.
Please keep in mind that this is kinda just a rough idea of stuff I’d want to do, so It’s not all that polished!
High school:
- Aph starts high school as a sophomore, homeschooled previously because of bullying and over protective mom. She meets FC online and they talk every day. BFF/online siblings.
- She meets Garroth who’s a year older than her, prodigal child of his family leaving high standards for the others.
- Also meets Laurance, who is in the same year as her, friends until he moves away towards the end of sophomore year but comes back during senior year.
- Zane is a year younger than her, is a bit of a menace. Bad relationship with garroth due to the expectations placed upon him.
- She, KC, and Kaitlyn are in the same grade and become quick friends.
Collage:
- Aph and FC still talk every day.
- She and KC go to the same college, Kaitlyn goes to a different college that is nearby and meets Lucinda. At their college, Aph meets Travis and Dante. Lucinda Kaitlyn, KC and Aph have girls nights every other Saturday so that’s how Lucinda folds into the group
- Laurance and Garroth go to the same school, Laurance on a soccer scholarship, garroth for business. They’re roommates.
- Garroth shares several business classes for the first year with Aaron (who’s been forced into it by his parents). They actually become pretty good friends, at the end of their first year they both switch majors. Garroth realizing that business wasn’t actually his dream, and that the only reason he did it to begin with was to make his parents proud. His parents are happy that he switches to doing something else he loves. Aaron transfers schools entirely, but him and Garroth keep touch. [ while Garroth does, tell Aaron about most of his life and his parents and yada yada, Aaron really only says that He’s in a similar boat and that His parents want him to take on the business but it’s not for him, so while good friends Garroth doesn’t really know everything about Aaron’s family life)
- Aaron transfers college and ends up meeting Blaze and his friends, idk exactly what Aaron is going for but he goes and kinda disappears off his families Radar (or they decide to let him have a bit of rebellion) [Blaze quickly becomes Derek and Rachel Lycans number one hater]
Pre Mystreet:
Aph has an apartment, that turns out to be in the same building as Garroth and Laurance, who she’s kept in touch with since hs, but not as much as she prefers. This is where the two would really realize they have feelings for her.
KC and Kaitlyn have an apartment about 20 minutes away, Lucinda has a diff apartment but is at KC and Kaitlyn’s place often.
Dante has a job at the same place as Garroth, which leads him to getting introduced to Laurance, the trio becomes quick friends.
Zane, still a bit bitter doesn’t talk to Garroth or keep in touch, tho he went to collage for business and minored film. He’s actually the first to move to MyStreet.
Travis is off doing something else at the time tho he keeps in close contact with Dante, and occasionally calls Aph
Aaron has a house out in the woods, he actually opens up a dog training business out of his house, as well as a doggy day care. He really only keeps in touch with blaze, Garroth, and occasionally Shu (they’ve been messaging less and playing their game less as their adult lives start)
Lucinda and Nicole went to Hs together and buy a house on MyStreet not long after Zane, but before the rest arrive.
Mystreet:
- To be less creepy, Aph is the one who actually suggest moving to MyStreet to Garroth and Laurance. The landlord at their apartment changed the lease and has been getting worse, so the three collectively decided they want out.
- Aph convinces Kaitlyn and KC to join her, as their apartment is rather small, and definitely not in the greatest shape, and they agree.
- They all decide to get places near each other, and end up moving out around the same time, Garroth and Laurance only a few days ahead of them. They invite Dante, as the boys had gotten pretty close and they wouldn’t mind living with him. The six move in the same week, they still don’t know Zane lives there.
- Aaron’s family eventually find him through his dog day care, and are pretty disgusted in what he’s doing. His parents call him uncivilized, and essentially threaten to ruin his business if he doesn’t “go back to being a civilized human and move into a real house.” So he starts looking around and ends up in the City the rest live in. A few people see him around town, coffee shop, convenience store, grocery store, and around their neighborhood as he’s looking at the house there, and they think he’s a Hobo (he does in fact look like one a bit)
- When he moves in, no one really notices that it’s “the Hobo” since he really isn’t out that often. When they do l, they finally get to show Garroth that guy they’ve been seeing around town. It takes garroth a moment but he eventually recognizes Aaron. (Since he was till under his parents thumb at the time, Aaron’s appearance was much more well kept and clean.)
- Aaron actually bonds with the other members of the crew instead of just being their cause they’re Aph’s friends. He’s only really introduced to the guys at first, since Garroths the only one that knows him (and the guys were the only ones noisy enough to gossip about the “hobo”). So he becomes pretty close to Garroth, Laurance and Dante. He’s also pretty chill with Zane, their mail gets mixed up often, which is how they met. Zane likes that Aaron’s a pretty good listener, Aaron is happy that Zane’s fine with him just listening instead of responding.
- Aph finds out Aaron is FC, because he sent her a picture of the logo he came up with for his dog training/daycare site, and she sees the same logo as a sticker on the back of Aaron’s laptop. He had no idea she was Shu till she told him.
That’s all I really have for now but if I get more ideas I’ll definitely post them up here
So I watched Troll Hunters: Rise of the Titans, and, well, this happened
We do these funny story things in my ELA class on Friday. Here were the prompts we had for today.
I decided to do the first one.
Here is my origin story.
Just got back from a four day trip to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. I wanted to post some of the pictures I took while we were hiking.
I just posted a speed paint of my Ben 10 drawing on my YouTube channel. I hope you guys like it!
I decided to change Golden Guard Shoto’s hair style. So instead of this:
He now has what I think is a more professional look to him. I think it also reflects the character arc he’s supposed to go through. The original hairstyle feels more “childlike” which is in quotations because I couldn’t find a better word for it. He looks more like a professional soldier with his hair slicked back, he’s always on the job and there is no time for him to really have a childhood. After he runs away from AFO and after the events of King’s Tide in this AU, he now has a chance to experience bite and pieces of the childhood he never got to have. Then after the death of his palisman ( i don’t know if it will still be Flapjack or a different animal) he kinda reverts back to the new hairstyle.
I might redesign some of the characters I’ve done for this au.
I’m glad you like it, Academia Falls has been a great inspiration for me when it comes to writing my one fic “A Titan in the Falls”, I’ve been struggling to find the motivation to write for the past couple of years, but every time I see that you’ve uploaded a new chapter I feel that love for writing return tenfold. Your story has also helped me have fun with my art again. Thank you so much for making Academia Falls, I can’t wait to see what will happen next.
@skyestar7703’s FanFiction “Academia Falls” (a03 link and ff.net link cause you should really go read it) has been on my mind since Saturday, it’s such an amazing story and it’s one of the very few fics that I can go back and read over and over again without ever getting bored of it. I really wanted to make some fanart to show my love for their story.
I based the border off of a Tarot card, and I might do the other three UA students at a later date.
A friend of mine did a collaboration with me to make this beautiful piece
Here’s my side of the drawing
And here’s my friends
You can check out the speed paint if you’d like as well
I wanted to attempt to recreate the cover of Breath of the Wild. I also posted a speed paint of it on my YouTube.
Will probably be a lot of art, long periods without a post, and a bit of writing
