Not Smaller Bodies-related BUT.

DRACUBECCA⚙️💙🕸️🩷

For context, this is a Monster High character from the 3D movie Freaky Fusion! She’s my favourite doll and was on my desk so I drew her!

The name Dracubecca comes how she’s a fusion of Draculaura and Robecca Steam. So, a steampunk vampire!

I know she only featured in one movie but gosh she’s my favourite design 🩷🩷🩷💙💙💙

MONSTER HIGH MOOTS WHERE YOU AT 👹👹👹👹👹

Me, before posting a chapter on AO3: Wow. This is really good. The syntax, the inner turmoil, the grammar. Impeccable. 10/10

Me as soon as the chapter is live: yeah, no. I deserve to be shot.

“And when the bad people jab sticks into you and make you feel horrible, I promise I’ll be there, okay?”

“They don't understand you like I do.”

“Are they going to punish me for this?”

“I won’t be here forever, but… you’ll always be my best friend. :-)”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Vee?? Wtf???

Uh, so I don't like Vee's canon design, mostly her palette. A green palette could work, sure, but her specific palette is not good. Primarily because the two shades of green are almost exactly the same value (which makes them blend together), but also because it makes her look much more like a computer than a TV. Besides the colours, it kind of bothers me that she (and many other toons) are basically completely naked.

So I wanted to take a shot at redesigning her.

Here, we have a red/blue/grey colour scheme. This just makes the most sense to me; when I think "movie" or "TV" those are the colours I think of. The red and blue are also supposed to mimic 3D glasses.

She's fully clothed, in a suit because what else would she wear. Gave her white gloves bc the light value draws attention to her hands and makes her gestures easier to understand. Her face and tail glow for the same reason. I'd have Vee's tail always showing, by the way. I do not want to know where she puts it in canon. Uh. Anyway, she has a belt chain too bc they're cool.

Will make a good drawing of this design at some point, but I'm feeling lazy tonight, so yeah.

Ok that's it byeee (I will go back to my regular stuff eventually, I promise, but feast well in the meantime)

P.S. Reblog if you wanna see my other toon redesign ideas >:)

I've been writing for years and I still struggle with this, especially since posting publicly. So to any writers out there who think their work isn't good enough, I've discovered your own perception on what you write is a lot harsher than how people will actually view it. You're doing fine. It's alright. :) Perfection is unobtainable so let's accept what we have!

It's going to be fine. <3

How to Stop Hating Everything You Write

1. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.

Quit judging yourself for every mistake you make along the way. Whether you're writing fiction, fanfiction, or nonfiction, just write. If you can't correct your errors as you go, that's okay. When I don't have the brainpower to multitask, I focus on the writing stage one step at a time. Just write!

2. Don't aim for perfection.

"It's not ready if it's not perfect." That's a lie. When you're in the process of writing, it's best to concentrate on getting your thoughts on paper.

3. Seek feedback and learn to receive it.

Join lively communities with active writers or forums that host events inviting writers to share their work for critique. Not every critique is constructive; learn to discern which feedback to take on board and which to ignore.

4. Read, read, read.

You can't give what you don't have. You learn a lot from reading similar pieces in your chosen genre. Reading is also a source of inspiration that fuels your writing process.

5. Cut yourself some slack.

Writing is no small feat. It takes talent to formulate a story with your mind and skill to visualize it for others to see. Do you love writing? Then keep doing it because it takes practice.

Sadness repellent

She's appearing in DAT >:) very next chapter actually...

She was made before Coral but im posting her after her... ANYWAYS!! This is my other Miss Delight sister, Miss Marionette! Shes the scrapped dance teacher from Playcare!

The 6 ribbons attached to her back are part of her body and she can move/extend them at will :3

Heya chat! Ive been holding these for a while but now im ready to show them! Heres some designs I plan to turn into keychains! Would you be interested?

Okay so I've started writing this thing:

It's Theodore Grambell-centric and also Ollie-centric because I love them both and... Ollie... Ollieeeeeee... I don't know man, that frickin phone somehow became a comfort character

Anyway, I'm reading up on Poppy Playtime lore so I can make the storyline juicier and came across this:

"Please note that working in the Game Station requires you to be a responsible adult."

Ollie, who is fucking 14:

Ollie needs more canon screen time but in the meantime since MOB Entertainment hasn’t mentioned/teased anything else about him let me just…

like

kidnap him

… them now!!

Contrary to their appearance, this is NOT a child. This isn’t even a toy.

Green is the colour of safety, which can be both legitimate and false.

Orange is a rejection of poppy red. It is a reflection of their old, natural body.

Pink is to appear feminine, sweet and appealing.

Purple is a royal colour. It represents luxury and power. Purple is represents Catnap.

Primary colours are a no-go unless for manipulative purposes. While Ollie can’t help that their phone is red, yellow and blue, behind the speaker is someone who has sworn off those colours. This also represents how they initially appear to be working for the company but are instead planning to sabotage it.

Get over here you little rat, you’re mine now

I like to headcanon that every time Ollie is on the phone with the Player their/his mind works like this

Ollie: We have to get enough power to progress and free the toys! :)

Ollie, internally: Omg please just die already

Also, they and Poppy shit-talk everyone and it’s great
