Okay. Okay update time on this. Some things. Heads up this is just kind of me rambling/noting down my current thoughts about what I want to do

(Rambles below the thingy)

I've been thinking, and yeah, I really want to do something with that story. That world/story I'm talking about in the og post is.... something! It's the backstory of a silly self-insert-oc of mine, and is not only extremely self-indulgent, but there's probably more missing and contradictory details than there is ACTUAL plot😬

The thing is, however, I hold that batch of characters very dear to me as I've had some of them since, like... late 2021, I'd say? And some of the main story concepts have also been around that long and longer. Because of this, I'm not only DESPERATE to share these guys with the world, but... also too attached to them and their stories to change around the canon a bunch.

What I plan on doing at some point is having two versions of the story that are essentially the same as fandoms making "AU"s. I'll have the revised version with a proper story that I can make into some sort of webcomic or whatever I want, and I'll keep the OG, inconsistent, poorly-written self-insert version as my own personal "AU" that I can have to just be silly with.

My god. I have this one world/story I wanna make a webcomic about so much but the timeline is SO BAD like it's not even funny. Way too many missing details in the worldbuilding and plot holes and contradictory stuff... agrrhgg

This is why I started making flow charts for my plots. It helps me realize everything I messed up. Me consulting my flowchart to make sure my story is coherent

Haven't drawn him lately but I absolutely NEEDED to post about him. Get outta my heaaaddddddd

say goodbye to your precious blender sphere (evil mysterious cackling)

The animation: serious and dramatic

The storyboards

New character. the blue fellow

DO NOT USE AI GENERATED "ART." Commission a real artist.

"But I don't have money"

Then draw it.

"But I can't draw"

Then learn.

"I don't want to take the time to learn/I want it now"

THEN YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT. Or you can at least settle with a poor-looking result if you draw it now. Hell, at least use some character creator/dress-up game like those picrew things or those Gacha games — you know, SUPPORTING ACTUAL ARTIST'S WORK!

You aren't entitled to see all the pretty looking images when you want, how you want, and for free.

Get it for free, and you either don't get it as good as you want or as fast as you want — you either settle with the fact your own drawing won't look how you want it, or take the time to learn. (unless you're lucky enough to find someone doing commissions for free. But that's still better than AI.)

Get it fast, and it either won't be good, or won't be free.

Get it good, and it either won't be quick, or won't be free.

This post should also apply to other forms of media (written works, music). But as someone who draws, this is the most relevant to me.

What's this? More PALACE!

+ some doodles

^ expressions!

I love him and his wife I love healthy couples im gonn.ac cry :((

Sorry they're all about him getting high I'm. Working on lore

I don't usually fandompost here but I just binge-readed TPOH these past few days (or what there currently is of it) after hearing about it from some posts I seen

My GOD. Currently going insane. In a good way

Jared's friend-slash-pillow now has colour.

He is 19 and I have not yet chosen a name.
