Nothing Scarier Than Being A Fan Of A Fic And Then Becoming Mutuals With The Author. Like Hi Shakespeare.

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Hi i just wanted to tell u how much i love reading ur work !! I started with let’s play pretend and immediately apon finishing i stalked u for more and u were about halfway thru language lessons. I waited like a month to read and after finishing i still was not satiated of ur writing and went and read extra credit. N e ways i think ive read like 5 of ur fics now and i genuinely adore your writing so much. I read i put a spell on you the other night and it had me giggling in bed until i finished. Kindly requesting another little halloween themed B side for spooky season. Just wanted to let u know how much i appreciate ur writing and all ur characterizations of the marauders they literally never fail

Thank you so much that’s really sweet!

So my friend texted me on October 1 and said, “happy Alex season” while another friend sent me their annual text of “it’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers,” so we could each enjoy our reread of the greatest essay in the history of mankind.

Why? Because spooky season is when I COME THE FUCK ALIVE. It’s all Halloween all the time up in my mind but in October I can really let it out.

That said, this witch’s high holiday is a big deal in my life and I don’t have a single free night between now and Samhain. It’s all parties and shows and fuckery. So the odds of me pulling off a spooky season b-side are probably low. But I won’t rule it out!

Here are a couple other things to scratch that itch:

I published a (year late) second chapter for My Moony which includes a lot of Halloween stuff, including Remus in fishnets.

A podfic now exists for I Put a Spell on You thanks to @burningaurora with incredible cover art by @meteoralinart

Things that Go Boo by @theresthesnitch is a haunted house oneshot.

The Proctor House by @eyra is set in 19th century New England

Hallowed by @hihimissamericanbi is a Salem witch trials WIP

Anyone else, please feel free to drop your fave spooky season fics in the comments!!

“There are no female aliens in our game because we don’t know how to make a female version of this alien” You know that alien you just designed? That male alien? Give it a female voice actor and have characters refer to it as she. That’s it. That’s literally all you have to do 

Make her shorter if you must

Make her BIGGER if you aren’t a coward 

yes

would you let me into your room so i can sit awkwardly on the ground wearing an oversized t shirt and look at your posters like a squirrel searching for threats before proceeding to say nothing and stare at you until you speak to me. would you let me do this
