You See, Perry The Platypus, When Vanessa Was A Little Girl, She Wanted To Take Estrogen. Of Course,

First chapter's getting posted tonight babyyyy :D

"Shadow Lady?" the soft voice of her mother called, warbling through the ocean.

She smiled, zipping through the water toward the sweet song. The muscles in her powerful tail, almost four times as long as her torso, carried her through the currents at a lightning speed. The gem around her neck, connected by a thin chain to the back of her neck, fell flush against her chest as she whipped around rock formations and brushed against seagrass. In a quick motion, she darted into the clam shell leaning against a rock that made her home, doing a quick lap around her startled mom before throwing her hands up and stopping. "I'm here!"

Her mother chuckled. Pink Coral Branch was known to be a gentle giant, as tall as a hydrothermal vent but as warm as a summer ocean current. Her large hand wrapped around her tiny daughter, bringing her close to her chest. 15 feet of human, 15 feet of tail, all boundless love.

A nameless tune drifted through the water, coming from Pink Coral Branch. Shadow Lady tried to join in, though her notes were off-pitch and her inflection sloppy at best.

"One day, child, you will grow as tall as this reef, and be responsible for the life in it." Pink Coral Branch said. "Your top half will be as long as your tail, and your voice will become something very special."

Shadow Lady held up her necklace, feeling a small tug at the top of her spine. Pink Coral Branch reached for her own necklace. "Do you know what's in here?" She took it off her neck and put it in Lizzie's hands, though it was almost larger than her upper body.

"It's our voice!" She said, grinning up at her mother.

Pink Coral Branch nodded, then took the necklace and weaved it back over her head. "When the necklace grows off your neck, you must keep it safe at all times. It will be how you sing, how you beguile, and how you put on a human skin. Never lose it."

Shadow Lady clutched her necklace in both hands, close to her chest. "I will never."

----

Lizzie sighed dramatically, smacking her face into her arms. "I hate it here."

@baosci @whiver-wyverncat y'all i think my brain did something O-O

All credits to baosci for the AU

reblog to give the person you reblogged it from a little heart lollipop

Make a post you intend to be the masterpost, label it "Joelzzie Siren AU Masterpost" or whatever suits your fancy, then under that do "Part 1" "Part 2" separated by hyphens or line breaks or anything (the formatting is entirely up to you!)

Then open Tumblr in a different tab, so you have access to your other posts. Copy the link to the first Siren AU post, then go back to your draft. Underline the "Part 1" text, and click the link icon (for me it's second from the far right). Paste the URL from the comic. Bam! Hyperlink!

Repeat for the rest of the comics :D

And at the end, go to your posts, click the three dots, and "pin" should be an option. Then it'll be at the top of your blog and everyone can see the Siren AU easy peasy!

(And if you make other AUs or comic series at some point, just add a section to the masterpost!)

You should make a master post so we don't need to scroll to find different parts of your au!!

Just a suggestion :)

how do i do this 💔

Broski you can't just leave it here, plz plz tag me if it happens O_O I need it so bad

Got an idea for a fic where X loses his memory and gets found by Ex, who he thinks is someone he used to trust. Ex keeps up the ruse because there's so much damage he can do to the server like this, but is quickly thrown off by X treating him like a loved one. For the first time someone's acting like they love him, and he pushes back his plans, telling themself that he'll do them later. But the longer X stays the less they want to hurt people, leading to them resolving to keep a simple life with the two of them. And then X starts regaining his memories, and Ex is sweating in the background because he knows that the moment X remembers who he is, all of this is going to fall apart and he'll go back to having nothing.

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

"I loved you like the sun.."

Yaaaayyyy!! The third one!!! And now it's Pearlo!

Oh I love Tilly's silly face, @liekadae infected me with Silly Tilly disease I can never draw Tilly seriously again. Aaaaaaaahhhh, can't wait to put her on my window irl òωó

Also now when you have three designs out of 6, will someone go on a long ass rant about details in tags? Please?? 👀

Reblogs and comments are appreciated 🧡🧡🧡

And here it is! My first fully completed Procreate Dreams animation. I used audio from one of Technoblade’s more famous rants during his Potato War series. I love Technoblade and miss him every day, so I hope that I was able to capture the magic of his energy in my animation.

I animated the roughs and drew the backgrounds in Procreate, but then I imported that into Dreams to do all the cleanup. It runs at 24 fps, but there’s a lot of variations to spice it up in there.

I wanted to really challenge myself so there’s a LOT going on in this short 9 second clip. There’s a camera move with multiple layers to achieve a subtle parallax scroll, there’s two lighting changes with one being a completely animated shadow layer, and there’s a warp effect on the curtains for when it opens and closes.

There’s still a lot that could be cleaned up. Some of the linework is a little more jittery than I would prefer, and the coloring process was awful. Every color was its own separate layer, which was exhausting to do. I really hope i can figure out a faster and easier way to do the coloring process because that took me over a week to complete! Yikes!

Overall I’m extremely proud of my work here. I’ve been working on this 9 second clip since Dreams released and I really wanted to showcase to everyone just how powerful Dreams is. I know a lot of people were complaining about it when it released and I wanted to do something to help reorient people’s expectations. I genuinely cannot believe that I did all of this on my iPad!

If anyone has any questions or would like to see a breakdown of this animation, please feel free to contact me!

And remember… Technoblade never dies!

had a dream that jimmy solidarity decided to prove he wasn't autistic on stream by taking a lot of autism diagnosis tests online and he got at least a 90% chance on all of them. at one point joel joined the call and sat in silence for a bit as jimmy practically sobbed as he got another 97% chance. grian was apparently harassing him about something through discord the whole time too. it ended with jimmy crying genuine tears and his girlfriend coming in to comfort him.

Immediately going on my calendar, I've been waiting with bated breath; only death or a coma will stop me from getting my name in there :D I am super normal about all of this definitely *silently frothing at the mouth looking at sketchy saturday posts*

Project LUMEN: APPLICATIONS ROUND 2 OPENING SOON!!!!

As you can see on our lovely lil poster (made by @pinkish29) we're opening applications for the next round on the 30th of April! The period the apps are open will be for nearly three weeks (ending on May 20th) to give anyone plenty of time to apply. See below the Project Lumen banner for more info on the roles we have open!

Have you ever wanted to know what the life series would look like as a video game? Well we've got the answer for you! Project Lumen is an RPG-like game revolving around all the series of the life smp, with twists and turns, multiple storylines that can possible diverge from the 'canon' timeline. There will be mini games, quests related to each episode of a season, and much more!

Here's a basic rundown of what we're doing:

You, the player, are introduced as the Watcher Child (WC for short. They're the character in the poster above!). You are an apprentice within the Watchers, and your job is to follow and guide the champions chosen by the Watchers themselves through challenges and enemies. Featuring unique leveling systems, DnD inspired classes, and, most importantly, the ability to impact the story with the choices you make… because, after experiencing all the Life Series seasons from both the Watcher and the Player side, maybe you’ll have a change of mind. After all is said and done and seen, the world is yours to shape, Watcher Child.

We are looking for both writers and background artists!

Writers will be in charge of helping getting the script together, creating dialogue and helping create both canon timelines and alternate timelines. Your job is to make the world real through the characters, the story, and the world. You don't need script writing experience though, you'll be given opportunities to learn if you're selected. We're just looking for those willing to learn and dedicate time towards this beautiful game!

Background artists, which are the most awesome people ever you should really become a background artist, will create the backgrounds for things like fights and loading screens. It's your job to mold the world of the life series for this project. You get to draw things like the Secret keeper from secret life, the relation-ship from double life, the forest burning and the desert deserting in third life, and everything in between!

Please keep in mind this project is a long-term project that takes many months to complete. The workload, though, is extremely manageable and everyone currently working on it is having a blast!

If you have any questions at all, give us a shout (an ask)! We'll be extremely happy to answer any questions, especially of what it's actually like creating for this project (it's awesome), because we're already partway through third life.

Looking forward to seeing all of your applications, and meeting all you lovely people who manage to get in!!!
