God I have so many fic ideas. I should work on one.
…Later.
Bro stop tearing apart the fabric of reality you’re scaring the hoes

Hooooooomygawd. This is exactly what I was ranting about in my last post! I should’ve been posted this, but of course everytime I try I get immediately distracted and start scrolling or completely forget and walk away doing something else 😅. BUT HEYYYYY IM HEREEEE, and I’ve decided this week’s spread is underfell based since that’s what most doodles I had were🌚. So let’s just jump right into it,,
1-4.)First off an Underfell! Papyrus spread cause I luv him and I wanted to have one to match his brother. I’ve been planning on doing spreads for each skeleton but obviously that’s going to take a little longer than planned lol! My underfell papyrus has no eye-lights, not because he’s blind but because I like it best aesthetically. I also hc he wakes up early to go to the store, but is still grumpy cause it’s 5 am…even though it’s his personal routine he did to himself🌚. Though! He wears sweats and that’s the ONLY time you’ll catch him in some sweats. His primary weapon is a sharp ended bone for easy access, he’s 6’6 with his heeled boots on, which are inspired by a certain someone. Finally, he has a stinky lazy cat named Doomfanger, I personally don’t like cats but I’d try for him,,
5,6,7.)HOO doggy I needs him😩 my uf!Gaster otherwise known as “Ego” n some background info for him and the boys when they were younger. He was the Royal Mad Scientist and very smart yet incredibly self centered, his experiments sons Sans and Papyrus stay home until he gets back after long hours and can be gone for days at a time. Though his oldest, Sans is very responsible they still wish he didn’t work his hours. Finally, before his disappearance into the core, his sons were both visiting before everything went down, Dr.Gaster, who after finally achieving SOMETHING within the core is faced with two incredibly difficult choices, he who is OBVIOUSLY MAD!!!!!??! Decides to instead leave his children in order to see the truth. This without a doubt is one of the first of many hardships young Sans and Payrus face.
8,9,10.)Last but not least a cat study page for Doomfanger since I found out I wanted to draw a cat without knowing how to draw a cat whatsoever, so I practiced!! Doomfanger is stinky cause he doesn’t like baths, lazy from lack of discipline (surprising but Edge can’t even yell at the poor thing.), and greedy from overeating, does this sound like someone we know?🌚 He has a scar across his left eye and half his fluffy tail is almost bare leaving only fluff at the end. Doomfanger doesn’t get along well with his uncle, which many find odd as they’re incredibly similar, too bad they don’t see it themselves. (Bonus Edge holding kitten Doomfanger, the beginning of a deadly friendship. And yes this one is noticeably newer than the others but it’s on the same page and fits the theme so let’s assume it was there from beginning 🌚😂)
Vivienne Westwood: Heart Leather Gloves (2008)
As someone who didn’t know they couldn’t mask for shit until I mentioned off handedly to my friends “I think I might be autistic” and a friend said “You think???” And went through it again with ADHD. I feel this in my soul.
in that furry ethics video i talked abt the "autism accents" of the rodfellows movie cast, and i put in a joke like "listen, im not making fun, the only reason i can talk like this is because i was trained like a dog to speak normally" and then a bunch of commenters just said "ma'am with all due respect, you absolutely have an autism accent."
I’d love to! I don’t have any recent drawings of people, but I can draw them!
I’m a little busy right now, but I’ll try my hardest!
Art trade anyone? For chibi. :D.
Don’t hurt em now Sans‼️
Sans Dance
Hey guys, Dragon8er here!
I made a lil Sans Dance gif. For fun. And I liked how it turned out, so I decided to post it. 'Cause why not
This sprite is based on my interpretation of Undertale Sans's design. So that's why it's a bit more detailed than his normal sprite.
I got some other projects cookin, so stay tuned for all dat. Until then, this has been Dragon8er, and I wills see you all Drago-l8er!
Things That May Be Causing Your Writer's Block- and How to Beat Them
I don't like the term 'Writer's Block' - not because it isn't real, but because the term is so vague that it's useless. Hundreds of issues all get lumped together under this one umbrella, making writer's block seem like this all-powerful boogeyman that's impossible to beat. Worse yet, it leaves people giving and receiving advice that is completely ineffective because people often don't realize they're talking about entirely different issues.
In my experience, the key to beating writer's block is figuring out what the block even is, so I put together a list of Actual Reasons why you may be struggling to write:
(note that any case of writer's block is usually a mix of two or more)
Perfectionism (most common)
What it looks like:
You write one sentence and spend the next hour googling "synonyms for ___"
Write. Erase. Write. Rewrite. Erase.
Should I even start writing this scene when I haven't figured out this one specific detail yet?
I hate everything I write
Cringing while writing
My first draft must be perfect, or else I'm a terrible writer
Things that can help:
Give yourself permission to suck
Keep in mind that nothing you write is going to be perfect, especially your first draft
Think of writing your first/early drafts not as writing, but sketching out a loose foundation to build upon later
People write multiple drafts for a reason: write now, edit later
Stop googling synonyms and save that for editing
Write with a pen to reduce temptation to erase
Embrace leaving blank spaces in your writing when you can't think of the right word, name, or detail
It's okay if your writing sucks. We all suck at some point. Embrace the growth mindset, and focus on getting words on a page
Lack of inspiration (easiest to fix)
What it looks like:
Head empty, no ideas
What do I even write about???
I don't have a plot, I just have an image
Want to write but no story to write
Things that can help:
Google writing prompts
If writing prompts aren't your thing, instead try thinking about what kind of tropes/genres/story elements you would like to try out
Instead of thinking about the story you would like to write, think about the story you would like to read, and write that
It's okay if you don't have a fully fleshed out story idea. Even if it's just an image or a line of dialogue, it's okay to write that. A story may or may not come out of it, but at least you got the creative juices flowing
Stop writing. Step away from your desk and let yourself naturally get inspired. Go for a walk, read a book, travel, play video games, research history, etc. Don't force ideas, but do open up your mind to them
If you're like me, world-building may come more naturally than plotting. Design the world first and let the story come later
Boredom/Understimulation (lost the flow)
What it looks like:
I know I should be writing but uugggghhhh I just can'tttttt
Writing words feels like pulling teeth
I started writing, but then I got bored/distracted
I enjoy the idea of writing, but the actual process makes me want to throw my laptop out the window
Things that can help:
Introduce stimulation: snacks, beverages, gum, music such as lo-fi, blankets, decorate your writing space, get a clickity-clackity keyboard, etc.
Add variety: write in a new location, try a new idea/different story for a day or so, switch up how you write (pen and paper vs. computer) or try voice recording or text-to-speech
Gamify writing: create an arbitrary challenge, such as trying to see how many words you can write in a set time and try to beat your high score
Find a writing buddy or join a writer's group
Give yourself a reward for every writing milestone, even if it's just writing a paragraph
Ask yourself whether this project you're working on is something you really want to be doing, and be honest with your answer
Intimidation/Procrastination (often related to perfectionism, but not always)
What it looks like:
I was feeling really motivated to write, but then I opened my laptop
I don't even know where to start
I love writing, but I can never seem to get started
I'll write tomorrow. I mean next week. Next month? Next month, I swear (doesn't write next month)
Can't find the time or energy
Unreasonable expectations (I should be able to write 10,000 words a day, right????)
Feeling discouraged and wondering why I'm even trying
Things that can help:
Follow the 2 min rule (or the 1 paragraph rule, which works better for me): whenever you sit down to write, tell yourself that you are only going to write for 2 minutes. If you feel like continuing once the 2 mins are up, go for it! Otherwise, stop. Force yourself to start but DO NOT force yourself to continue unless you feel like it. The more often you do this, the easier it will be to get started
Make getting started as easy as possible (i.e. minimize barriers: if getting up to get a notebook is stopping you from getting started, then write in the notes app of your phone)
Commit to a routine that will work for you. Baby steps are important here. Go with something that feels reasonable: every day, every other day, once a week, twice a week, and use cues to help you remember to start. If you chose a set time to write, just make sure that it's a time that feels natural to you- i.e. don't force yourself to writing at 9am every morning if you're not a morning person
Find a friend or a writing buddy you can trust and talk it out or share a piece of work you're proud of. Sometimes we just get a bit bogged down by criticism- either internal or external- and need a few words of encouragement
The Problem's Not You, It's Your Story (or Outline (or Process))
What it looks like:
I have no problems writing other scenes, it's just this scene
I started writing, but now I have no idea where I'm going
I don't think I'm doing this right
What's an outline?
Drowning in documents
This. Doesn't. Make. Sense. How do I get from this plot point to this one?!?!?! (this ColeyDoesThings quote lives in my head rent free cause BOY have I been there)
Things That Can Help:
Go back to the drawing board. Really try to get at the root of why a scene or story isn't working
A part of growing as a writer is learning when to kill your darlings. Sometimes you're trying to force an idea or scene that just doesn't work and you need to let it go
If you don't have an outline, write one
If you have an outline and it isn't working, rewrite it, or look up different ways to structure it
You may be trying to write as a pantser when you're really a plotter or vice versa. Experiment with different writing processes and see what feels most natural
Study story structures, starting with the three act structure. Even if you don't use them, you should know them
Check out Ellen Brock on YouTube. She's a professional novel editor who has a lot of advice on writing strategies for different types of writers
Also check out Savage Books on YouTube (another professional story editor) for advice on story structure and dialogue. Seriously, I cannot recommend this guy enough
Executive Dysfunction, Usually From ADHD/Autism
What it looks like:
Everything in boredom/understimulation
Everything in intimidation/procrastination
You have been diagnosed with and/or have symptoms of ADHD/Autism
Things that can help:
If you haven't already, seek a diagnosis or professional treatment
Hire an ADHD coach or other specialist that can help you work with your brain (I use Shimmer; feel free to DM me for a referral)
Seek out neurodiverse and neurodiverse writing communities for advice and support
Try body doubling! There's lot's of free online body doubling websites out there for you to try. If social anxiety is a barrier, start out with writing streams such as katecavanaughwrites on Twitch
Be aware of any sensory barriers that may be getting in the way of you writing (such as an uncomfortable desk chair, harsh lighting, bad sounds)
And Lastly, Burnout, Depression, or Other Mental Illness
What it looks like:
You have symptoms of burnout or depression
Struggling with all things, not just writing
It's more than a lack of motivation- the spark is just dead
Things that can help:
Forget writing for now. Focus on healing first.
Seek professional help
If you feel like it, use writing as a way to explore your feelings. It can take the form of journaling, poetry, an abstract reflection of your thoughts, narrative essays, or exploring what you're feeling through your fictional characters. The last two helped me rediscover my love of writing after I thought years of depression had killed it for good. Just don't force yourself to do so, and stop if it takes you to a darker place instead of feeling cathartic
I had to reread this 3 times before I understood what I was reading

Well I’m trying but I have zero clue how to make music. Give me however long it takes to learn how music theory works and I’ll get back to you.
If nascent is puppy music, do you have anything that you might consider kitty music?
I keep looking at DaS like this
I wanna outline and rewrite that shit so bad
I think I will tbh. While it’s still small and I don’t have to retcon it later.
writers when they’re proofreading their works for the 34th time *find zero mistakes, there’s no typo, no grammatical error. everything looks good. hit the post button*
writers when they’re reading said works after they’ve been published like proud parents *find 52 mistakes at first glance, 38 typos and 14 grammatical errors with a bunch of inconsistencies and plot holes*
more deltarune sansnomaly cuz its feeding the ideas a lot
bonus:
So here’s the thing
I’m going to do the AU comic but it’s going to be a fun little side project. Sorta like how @/llamagoddessofficial has a bunch of side series that aren’t gonna turn into fics but she still shares the headcanons.
There will be no expectations of an upload schedule, and if one day I grow bored of it I will just drop the comic series.
Nobody said anything to me don’t worry. I just remembered how when I was younger I pushed myself to post when I struggled with having anything to post. I don’t want to fall back into that habit. It’s unhealthy.
Similar things go to DaS in a way because both are essentially practice runs before I get into a proper thought out fanfic. I want to explore my writing style before I get into something with more meat to it. Check for weaknesses and all of that. Chapter 2 is in the works. I’m just not pushing myself to upload when it’ll just make me hate creating.
The first thought that came to my mind when I saw Toriel was “Oh that neck is too much neck”
I'm inspired by Little nightmares 2
Dreaming
What's your blog about
everything I enjoy and whatever goes through my mind
So I have an idea
Determination and Starvation Chapter 2 is still in the works, (writers block has me in a death grip right now) but I’ve been working on a Sans X Reader AU that I wanted to throw out there.
So I’ve been absorbed by several clangen blogs and before then I had the idea of a Warrior cats Aggre trio x Reader AU. The plot is still in the works, but the prologue is fully planned out.
My idea was that in the meantime of writing DaS Chapter 2, I could post this AU formatted like these Clangen blogs on a side account or this account. Would you guys like that, or would it end up ignored? It’s going to be a big commitment, and I don’t want to put time I could put into things I know you guys want unless I know you guys want this too.
Time for a Milestone Raffle!
The support I have gotten with this silly clangen blog has been absolutely incredible and I cannot thank you all enough.
So to celebrate this milestone and to say thank you, I want to give back in the best way I can with a blog like this!
I will be selecting 3 winners on 01/19/24 who will be able to make a character that I will place in one of the outside groups of my clangen! They can be in one of the three outside clans, starclan, or even just a loner! They may appear more than once depending on when the opportunity arises in the clangen, and you will be credited for the character whenever they appear!
You may enter two times total, by reblogging and liking this post! You must be following me to enter.
If you reblog to a sideblog, please tag the blog you follow me from! Multiple reblogs from one person only count for one entry.

I blame @itsxroxannex , I was normal before I found ur blog smh
Exactly. ✨Magic away the tangles✨
Do our long and/or thick-haired players have to be worried?
Because all I can think about (and this has been on my mind for a while) is Sans stroking through your hair
Only for it to get tangled in his phalanges
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THE THOUGHT MAKES ME WHEEZE SO MUCH
I can't draw any of my silly ideas but this is one I would love to see on paper
EDIT: How the heck did I not consider curly hair in this equation?
I'm such a donut

Dw I usually just stay believing that the skeletons can run their fingers through my hair when it’s down without getting tangled. Don’t mind the fact that I can’t do that without tangling my own fingers in my hair shhhhh.

Dear god I wish I could write because I’m turning Determination and Starvation around in my head but writing it feels like such a Herculean task.
Someone help.
Everyone is saying how it has wheels when all I’m thinking about is how BUILT he has to be for carrying it to be more feasible and possibly just as comfortable. Carrying wheelchairs ain’t easy (to my recollection) but he’s able to do that and walk just as easily??? Man LIFTS.

I saw this on Instagram and went looking for this exact post in case there were updates. There were not.
this weatherman working from home has a cat and she's a little celebrity
Funny how you say that-
it is your sworn duty, as a warrior cat artist, to draw your favorite characters as warrior cats. you must. you vowed to.
