GUESS WHO JUST LOST 200 WORDS AND NOW HAS TO FIND A NEW WRITING SOFTWARE

Final Moments on Stage

Famous Singer Reader x Peter Parker

Summary: It's the final night of your American tour, and you can't help but reflect on your life.

Y/N stared out at the crowd before her. Thousands of people squished into one stadium just to see her. Hear her songs. Her voice. It’s incredible.

“LA, I need to tell you something.” The crowd exploded as she spoke. “I need to tell you how much you mean to me. The fact that you are all here, just to support me, is incredible.”

Y/N turned to face the left side of the stadium, smiling as they cheered for her. “If you had told little 16-year-old me that I would be playing in a venue this big, that this many people wanted to hear my song…I don’t think I would believe you.”

She thought back to all of the shit she went through in her high school years. The bullying and the depression. As she glanced backstage, though, she couldn’t help but think of the best thing to come out of high school. There stood her boyfriend Peter, who had stood with her through it all. The spotlights made it impossible to make him out fully, but there was no mistaking that silhouette.

Y/N turned back to the crowd, knowing they saw her looking backstage. She grinned as she thought about all the fan theories that would come out of her getting distracted.

“I have one more song for you, LA, and then I sadly have to go back home to New York.” She giggled as the crowd booed at her declaration. “Don’t worry, though.”

Her earpiece started counting beats as the soundtrack for her song started playing. Taking a deep breath as the lights changed, she thought of the boy standing offstage waiting for her.

“I’ll be back. I promise.”

me, when I first posted FHDT: I'm gonna upload chapters every Monday. I'll work on the fic all the time. Constantly. Even in class because I figured out a way to do that.

me now: It's been 3 weeks and I still haven't finished writing chapter 2

[ The Batfamily out at a stand up comedy event in Metropolis. ]

Comedian: Where are you all from?

Bruce: Gotham.

Comedian: I’m sorry.

Bruce, a little louder: Gotham.

Comedian: No, I heard. I’m just sorry.

A Little Love ~ Theodore Nott x reader

A little thing I wrote and absolutely did not proofread.

Summary: gn!reader has a chronic pain flare up and Theo comforts you.

Warnings: a bit of gore (in the form of describing chronic pain)

It was a normal Saturday afternoon for you and your friends. You, Theo, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, and Daphne were all sitting under a tree by the lake enjoying the sun. You were laying on your back talking quietly with Blaise when Draco came over and started wrestling you. He moved back before you could get a hit in and started running away.

“Asshole!” You screamed as you got up to chase him. You were running so fast to catch him that you missed the laughs of the rest of your friends.

When you caught up with Draco you grabbed him and threw him over your shoulder. He screamed as he tried to get off but you were holding on too tightly. He gave up as you walked back toward your friends who were still laughing at your antics.

You dramatically put Draco on the ground, being careful of his head. You then went to sit next to Theo, leaning your back against a tree. You huffed a laugh at Draco's dramatics as he fake cried on the ground.

“Wounded! I’ve been wounded!” He screeched.

“Only your ego is wounded, you’re fine.” Replied Pansy.

Your friends continued to laugh and joke. You zoned out, too focused on the pain that was increasing in your arms and shoulders. You moved your hands to press on your shoulders. The pain was starting to become a bit too much. you could feel your arms and shoulders start to burn like someone had ripped all the skin off and poured rubbing alcohol on the wounds. Everything was too much. Nothing around you made sense and all of your nerves were screaming. You were shaken out of your stupor by Theo putting his hands on your ankles to ground you. He was kneeling in front of you with nothing but concern on his face.

“Hi.” You said quietly, looking around at your friends who were all also looking at you with concern.

“Hi, love.” Theo's thumb rubbed circles right above your ankles. “How are you feeling?”

Unable to bring yourself to talk again you groaned and closed your eyes, letting your head fall. Theo shifted to sit beside you and pulled you over so you were leaning on him. He rubbed circles on your back as you both waited for the pain to leave.

20 minutes later and while the pain was gone you were now exhausted. You dug your head into the crook of his neck and sighed contently.

“Tired?” Theo chuckled. The only thing he got in response was a little annoyed huff that he was interrupting your nap. You felt yourself be scooped up in his arms and carried back to his dorm. You couldn’t help but fall asleep as he walked.

Hey! I just wanted to ask what kinds of brushes and watercolors you use for your drawings. I really like them! I’m also going to start to use watercolors to paint my traditional drawings. Could I have some tips as well?

Ok so this is a fairly long post.  I tried to be reasonably thorough, and I talk about paint, brushes, and gave some tips, as well as linked some brilliant videos - hopefully that helped :)) feel free to ask for any clarifications though! /gen

Oh, I've accumulated a large amount of watercolours over the years. This is my currently most used palette, that i’ve assembled myself from different palettes throughout the years:

My first set of watercolours was a small Winsor & Newton set, which included these:

I then got this set of Kuretake for my birthday:

And I got some shiny ones from Creadu, though I'm not sure if they're available internationally:

As well as some singular pans also from Winsor & Newton:

Then there's a set i have from my parents. These are older than I am, and some aren't very useable, over all they're pretty good, I'd say.  I have no idea what the brand is, though, or what brand would be closest to them, so that I could recommend it.

Regarding brushes, I’d say the more natural ones are simply incomparable to the cheap ones. I’d take 2 or even 1 good brush over a full set of those plastic ones anytime.

Here’s my full collection, though the plastic ones I use for gouache.  They simply aren’t suitable for watercolours, regardless of how much scammy brands try to convince you.

And these are the ones I use fur watercolours:

You can get some soft, round brushes for relatively cheap - you just need to find a nice art shop.  regarding size, I’d probably get a size 6 if you want to start off with just one brush, and sizes 5 and 10 if you can go for 2.  though that of course depends on how large you want your pieces, ect - but I feel like that’d be a pretty universal choice. I personally mostly use a 6, then go in with a 4 to add details, and add washes to the bg mostly with a 10 - my pieces are usually between half of an A5 sheet of paper, and an A4 one, so that should give you an approximate idea of what you might want to go for.  You need to keep in mind, that most brushes - even the bigger ones - will have a fine tip, when wet, so there really isn’t much of a need to buy anything below a 2, especially at the beginning - simply don’t push down too hard.

In regards to art itself - don’t use white watercolours the way you would with other paints.  Watercolour painting is using the negative space a lot of the time - the white watercolour is never going to be as vibrant and bright as the paper itself, not to mention it won’t be able to cover up the darker colours in the first place, seeing how it’s quite a bit transparent, as watercolours are.

That being said, I highly recommend you use white gel pens!  They can add a very lovely touch in general, not only in watercolours (you can see it in many of my pieces, seeing as I draw on a tinted paper a lot of the time).  Personally, I recommend gelly rolls.  I’ve bought a set of 3 a couple years ago, and they’re still working just fine.  In my experience these are the only gel pens that actually work, though keep in mind I’m from Poland, so there might be something better over where you live.

With watercolours you neeed to start off with the lighter colours, and add more and more dark ones, making sure to leave the brightest spaces blank, and not paint over them.  Be patient, wait for layers to dry, don’t rush it.  Watch videos of how people paint with watercolours, observe, try to learn through imitation!

Aditionally, try not to use blatant, black paint.  Try mixing a couple colours such as dark brown, dak blue, perhaps some red, a bit of yellow, ect - take your time time, and learn how your paint works, and how it mixes!  Ultimately, you don’t really need black and white paints most of the time for watercolours, unlike in other kinds of paint.

Here are some videos I remember being helpful to me personally:

this video by Emily Artful is honestly one of the best videos on that matter that I’ve watched

This video, as well as this video by Kasey Golden are also very helpful

I remember finding this video by Laovaan helpful as well

(for the record, all these three creators are brilliant artists that have helped me learn the medium quite a lot

Ultimately my watercolour and brush collections and skill have been growing over the past, well, more than 6 years, so be patient!

I hope that was helpful, but again, if theres anything else I could help you with, feel free to ask me :)

And have fun!! Good luck, dear!! You’re gonna do great, I’m sure! :DD
