This-is-useful - References For Later.

Hey guys! As a writer myself, it’s hard to have a lot of resources for writing in one place. That’s why I decided to create this masterpost, and maybe make more if I find future resources. I hope you like it, and expect to see more masterposts like this in the future!

Can I get a matchup?^^I'm rather calm,but cheerful.Ppl often say I'm sad but I just think&daydream a lot.I love art,music&literature,I also write a lot.I really like gaining knowledge&I study finances which absorbs me a lot.I'm understanding&patient to others,but more strict to myself.I get stressed pretty easily&sometimes anxious/scared of things like dogs/fire.I hate mess and procrastinating;;I have a weird humor that makes me seem sassy.But I still get flustered prety easily;;Have a nice day!

 Matchup: V

this man is going to protect you,, always

and love you,, always

he thinks it’s adorable when you daydream, and loves to hear about them if you’re willing to share

Secretly hopes you’re daydreaming about him whenever he catches you spacing out

You often get inspiration from V’s photographs when writing. His pictures helps you pick proper scenery.

Too many cute fights over who is more talented 

“That looks amazing! I wish I was good like you,”

“Don’t be silly, You’re better than I am!”

“You’re so much better, though,”

100% most supportive boyfriend anyone could ever ask for

He gets upset when you’re hard on yourself, and stands by your side if you’re having a rough time. 

He’ll become 10x more affectionate during this time, and takes you to his favorite spots for taking photographs, as a way to clear your mind

blown away by the sass

offended the first time you sassed him

like you’re this calm, cheerful, and pretty person… honestly didn’t think you had it in you

it becomes such a turn on for him. he won’t ever admit it, though.

Best friend: Jumin Han

It takes awhile for Jumin to warm up to you

He is so cautious of you after witnessing what Rika did to V

Just wants to protect his friend

But once he saw what type of person you were, he gains a big liking in you

Jumin feels so comfortable around you, it’s almost the same comfort he feels with V. 

You’re able to talk about all good book you’ve read with him. It’s your thing to loan each other the books you’ve enjoyed the most.

He’ll read to you till you fall asleep on days where V is away on trips and you’re missing him

He’ll help you with any finance studies you have, which frequently ends in his complaints about the company.

You urge him to talk to you whenever he feels stressed out. He likes the fact that you listen to what he has to say, and able to understand his viewpoint on things.

Hey! I was wondering, do you have any favorite rika fanfic you'd recommend reading?

uuuuuhhhhhhhh there is a dearth of rika fic, to put it lightly, but i’ll try my best.

any rika fic by @cannibalisticskittles (khismer on ao3) is good

a taste of paradise by sunflowerfield is good, but it has saeran/mc if you’re okay with that.

warm blood by hopeheavy is bit artsier than usual but it works.  go read it

i have a fic tag on this blog, and some of my faves from the stuff i’ve reblogged include:

Wanting by @robultrash

Monster by @rosekasa

i’ve also written some drabbles from requests, i like my own writing well enough.

i’m really sorry i couldn’t have been of more help, there’s just not a lot of rika fic in general (*´_ゝ｀)

I believe @madisnorm once suggested me to change my header to Kou’s crotch. I finally did it, are you proud of me now? My icon is conveniently censoring the good bits for younger audience as well. How marvelous.

#12 & #35 w/ minseok for the drabble game please? and oh btw, congrats with the 1k followers 🎉🎉🎉

Prompt: Minseok (feat Baekhyun, sorrynotsorry) + “You taste like fucking candy.” + “You heard me. Take it off.”

Setting/AU: Vampire

Warnings: it’s kind of a crack drabble, mentions of blood & death, supernatural themes, swearing, standard vampire stuff, implied smut.

Word Count: 2366

A/N: Again, sorry this took so long anon, I hope you enjoy it. The idea was originally going to be a witch/wizard au but the vampire one came to me after seeing this prompt and I kept laughing about it so I had to make it happen.

Knock knock.

You groan from underneath the pillow you’d put over your head in an attempt to block out the incessant knocking at your front door. Who the fuck door knocks at this time of night? You sleepily grabbed your phone, the screen illuminating, temporarily blinding you while showing you the ungodly hour of 3am.

Knock knock.

Here it is, my long winded tutorial, complete with some step by step action. I see a lot of people talk about wanting to diversify their artwork but not knowing how. This is my help to you. You really should take the time to invest in learning diverse eye shapes as diverse artwork always makes you a better artist. And frankly I’m really tired of drawing tutorials that talk up character diversity but only have the stereotypical “one Asian eye”.

I did some step by steps for those three diagrams, but I actually got them from this blog which has 14 of those examples! (Bonus: it’s a makeup blog so if you need help with that or want some idea of how to shade these eyes, there ya go)
