maybe you don't need anyone to share them with

Took me a while to realise you were referring to this post.

...but what if I want someone to share the happiness with?

Hello LV, I can't find the words to thank you for the prose piece you wrote about my story. All I can say is I love it truly. I'll hold on to that piece of writing for the rest of my life like your other followers. I think I will be coming back to it when life isn't treating me well. Keep on writing..

And I hope I remember these kind words when life isn't treating me well. Thank you, dear stranger.

Enjoyed reading the book of strangers. My favorites are Chrysanthemum for part 1 and a toss up between Snapdragon and Winterberry in part 2. I wish I was able to send in my story too.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing with me your favourites. As for a part 3, maybe I'll just keep the submissions open? I won't give a deadline this time, and just have the collection out once I have gotten enough requests. I'd love to read your story as well :)

Same as before, just include an alias or let me know if you prefer to remain anonymous.

thanks for the poem you wrote me 🥰

Thanks for sharing your story with me <3

hi, how are you? :)

i just finished reading your writing project. part 1 and 2 are beautifully written. i loved the poem you wrote me. it was perfect! these were my favorites: hibiscus, chai, rooibos, hyacinth, and alyssum.

thank you for sharing your writings, and i hope to read more of your work!

My heart feels lighter. Thank you <3

Your writings are addictive

Praying for your recovery.

Feedback for your writing project (sorry this took so long)

I'm not good at writing or giving reviews that's why I'm sending this anonymously but your words are always beautiful and heartwrenching. I think it's generous of you to take the time to listen to other people's stories and write them a poem. This includes people like me who don't write but have a lot on my mind and sometimes I want a poem that I can relate to haha

Thank you and just keep writing. And no criticism from me on the technical level because like I said I'm not a writer. I hope this feedback is okay!

No, this is perfect! Thank you so much. I love listening to people's stories and writing them something based on those experiences. I just get worried sometimes that I might not have been able to capture what they wanted, or do their story justice, as some stories people have sent me, I haven't gone through personally, so I'm glad to hear this. Again, thank you <3

Hi! I've been reading your writing for years too. There are so many life experiences I had that you were able to put into words in such a poetic way especially the sad ones lol.. I remember I sent you a request in your old blog and you wrote me something. I still keep a handwritten copy of it and I have it saved on my phone. I'd like to be able to buy you a coffee as well :)

This is so sweet. Thank you for sharing this with me! If you don't mind, would you tell me which piece it was?

Thanks for sending me your writing project!! Will give you my feedback soon!

I hope you like it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I finished reading The Book of Strangers and I adore both parts! I've sent you my feedback in another ask. I agree with other Anon about sending a little something as MY thanks to you for your writings. Maybe you have one of those Ko-fi accounts or something? 😊

Thanks so much! You're too kind.

I don't have one. Your feedback is more than enough :)

your writing is the one i keep coming back to all these years

This is lovely to know <3

Hey! You said before that your writing collections are free but is there a way to still send you a little something back? It just doesn't feel right to get your collections for free :3

You're too kind. But no, they're free :)

How much is your book?

All writing collections are free.

Thank you so much for the reply! It was incredibly helpful! And also, I feel the pain of having to cater to Reels/TikTok :[

yeah i really didn't sign up to be a circus performer, but here we are.

I love your art so much!! It's inspiring me to get back into pixel art (I gave up quickly). A huge problem I had was I didn't know what size was best to set my canvas for specific projects. I always ended up overestimating and making it too big and then it looked less like pixel art and more like grainy digital art. Do you have a rough guide you stick to for landscapes/bedrooms/cities VS. things like animals and characters?

aw thank you i'm happy to hear that! i hope u stick with it ♥

with landscapes/bedrooms/cities i use 275x155. this provides a fair amount of detail while still keeping it pixely, plus it resizes to wallpaper size. for vertical i just reverse it at 155x275.

i've also recently started to use 215x215 (same amount of pixels as above) so that i can resize my art to easily fit both wallpapers, and mobile videos... since tiktok and instagram reels are everything nowadays 😒

for characters and animals, generally i will base the size of the canvas around how i stylize eyes.

so i'll draw the eyes first, then just draw everything else around that.

i also have a smaller resolution style with 2px dot eyes that i use for adding characters to landscapes, since my landscape resolution is too small for my regular style unless the character is close to the screen.

hope this helps!

Not the owner but I agree

It's interesting to learn that you are hypersensitive. I, for one, have been enjoying your art for a very long time. What I don't understand is that there are people out there that would die for your talent, yet you are nervous about sharing your art. To me, artists who are that good shouldn't be shy about their work... So stop being shy about it! :)

... I had to sit with this for a while.

This... I get that it comes from a place of good intentions, and that's nice, the sentiment is nice. But I'm not here for it, because like you said, you don't understand. I'm well aware that my opinions are strange but they're opinions about MYSELF and you're essentially telling me how to feel about myself and that's really unfair. And unrealistic? Emotions don't work that way. (You have a feeling? ITS WRONG. FEEL DIFFERENTLY) I will defend anyone's right to their feelings and it took my entire life to learn how to defend my own. I feel these misunderstandings boil down to a few things.

1. A view that my difficulties in sharing stem from an insecurity, or that I take my skills for granted in some way.

Not the case. I was hesitating as usual to say anything because I didn't want to make any artists who have yet to reach a similar skill level feel bad, but I don't want anyone laying that at my feet ok? (die for my talent?? How do I NOT construe that as a guilt trip D:) NO artist gets where they're at by taking their talent for granted. But lets not pretend I got where I am skillwise without pouring a ton of my blood/sweat/tears/years/life/soul/time/energy/everything into developing said skills. Art is a SKILL. I don't really want to have the skill vs. talent argument but if you're wondering what side of the fence I am on, its that side.

2. YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE

Aaaaaaaahhaaaa. Augh. Really tho. Like I said I wasn't always this way but I've had a lot of experiences (unrelated to art) that have made me a very closed off, private person. I've been called selfish, but I don't see how making things for myself in order to cope and then... keeping those things... is selfishness and not self-care. Do you ask a starving person to share what little food they have with someone who is just sort of hungry and will be fine without it? I hate using that comparison but if you follow artists on tumblr I'm sure you get plenty of nice stuff to look at on your dash, you'll be fine without my stuff on there all the time. I DO try, otherwise I wouldn't have artblog at all.

Serious Question: What if the hypersensitivity is the REASON for said ability? Two sides of the same coin. I've read some things that link sensitivity and creativity and if that is the case for me then would it still make sense to push me to be somehow different? I DO know artists who are VERY talented/skilled and don't have these struggles, and I also know artists who have struggled with serious huge ego problems too. I'm not trying to say it's gotta be one or the other, but maybe at extremes, its gosh I dunno, harder to be balanced about these things. I do occasionally dabble in arrogant snobbery but I can keep it to myself.

I feel some type of way about this. :/

Groundhog Day is a holiday in US and Canada (February 2nd). It comes from a superstition in which if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and sees its own shadow, it means that there will be six more weeks of winter; if it does not see its own shadow, spring will come early. The most widely recognized "official groundhog" is Punxsutawney Phil, who lives in Punxsutawney, PA (USA) with his wife, Phyllis, and two children. (Yes, the groundhog is married.)

This year, Phil predicted ❄️ more winter! ❄️

Hi! Just asking around to people i regularly see on my dash: Do you play any instruments, if so, which ones, and how many?

hii!

i play piano and flute and taught myself both of them!

Now, I'm a little concerned for the safety of those characters, just knowing what happened the LAST TIME you made a wing AU.

Sure, call me out like that why don’t ya

I want to be the boyfriend who makes a woman come so hard that she had to tell all her tumblr followers about it.

your last reblog?#$@&:;*/ what did Pisces men do to you 😭

man… don’t even get me started lmao

hey! not sure if you know, but the post you reblogged here actually features a Mahariel/Zevran ship, not a Tabris (:

https://cityelfweek.tumblr.com/post/758267465653452800/how-about-pulling-them-closer-into-their-arms

oh whoops!! i got them mixed up! thanks for letting me know :)

Are we allowed to write our Warden Tabris' and like Zevran and Fenris, since they're all city elves, or are we spose to stick to ocs and side characters?

Of course you can!!

Any and all city elves are welcome - OC's, NPC's, companions, book/comic characters... as long as your work is city elf focused, it's totally allowed 🥰

hi!! Do you know when you'll be posting the optional prompts? I really want to participate, but I'd love some time beforehand to mull over my ideas because I don't think I'll be able to write things day-of during the week 😅

hi!! thank you for your interest :)

sorry, i had intended to post them by now, but i've been feeling really burned out after work. they're locked and loaded in the drafts, i was just holding off 'cause i wanted to try and make some graphics, but 😅

i'll try and post them tonight! :]

Wow, Io'm shocked but at the same time not surprise

For the AM redemption topic, can I recommend 'Therefore, I am' by Screegus on AO3? Although it could have a romantic reading if you squint too much, it's not tagged as a ship of any kind and it's beautifully interpretable in a platonic way. And I mean 'beautifully' because it might as well be one of my favorite works in this small but thriving fandom. Hope you enjoy it if you choose to give it a read!

Aight!! I’ll check it out! Tysm!

What's your fav subject in economics? Btw I looove your blog ◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍

Hey dear Anon :)

Well I'm glad you like my blog :D

And that's a tough question not because i like everything but because I absolutely have a love-hate relationship with economics. It's made me cry so badly but somehow I love how tough it is too...

I kinda like Microeconomics (we had this in junior year), Consumption analysis, Production analysis, Distribution analysis, Market structure, Pricing. These are some of my personal favourites, if i had to choose Macroeconomics topics, I'd go with types of economies, employment theories, law of markets and obviously Keynesian economics because that guy doesn't let me live T-T

I guess that's it. Thanks for the ask :)
