best way to figure out how you want to draw a character: make an 8 page comic

(Transcript under the cut in case my handwriting is # bad)

I honestly think one of Griffin’s greatest feats in the entire Balance campaign was his writing of Lucretia. I can’t think of any other example where a woman- let alone an older black woman- is written as both entirely competent but also incredibly flawed.

She makes mistakes, really bad ones, but these mistakes are well intentioned. Her fundamental flaw is that she cares so much for people, especially her friends, that she doesn’t think to ask them for help. She is stubborn and prideful and often unthinking but ultimately she is selfless. She doomed herself to what she thought would be perpetual loneliness because she thought that it was the right thing to do for the greater good.

It would have been so easy for Griffin to make her into a flat villain, the kind of “I know what’s best for you, don’t get in my way” kind of villain that’s so common in media. But instead he turned her into a hero that’s earnestly trying, but failing. Her arc, maybe even more so than Magnus’ experience with the Power Bear, shows that true strength comes in being able to feel humility and ask for help. As someone who really struggles with allowing vulnerability to overcome pride, I just really connect with her and I’m really grateful to Griffin for not taking the easy way out when it came to her character.

The people wanted to see lup!

In yet another bad move, Tumblr has apparently made it so that any posts containing links of any kind don’t come up in search results, which is effectively the final nail in the coffin for a lot of content creators

to combat this, and also still find good content, change your searches from ‘tumblr. com/search/ bees’ to ‘tumblr. com/tagged/ bees’ and posts with links in them should still show up

and to help out creators who will inevitably suffer from this, reblogging and sharing our work is now more important than ever, especially things like product adverts, kickstarters, patreons and commission posts. please support your local friendly creatives!

Sorry for no new art I’ve had a really bad week :( next week is my last week at my job so after that I’ll be inundated with free time to work on commissions and make some $$$ I’m still looking for a new job and not having much luck so in the meantime if you wanna help me out you can buy me a coffee at www.ko-fi.com/JamsCanDraw 💖☕✨

Hiatus!!

Hey! So school’s been in session for almost six weeks now and unfortunately I have not been able to get back into a writing rhythm, which is unhelped by the fact that I’m also blocked rn which is fun. I’ve also got some personal projects that I’m working on (lmk if you guys want me to talk about them more, but they’re not taz related at all so idk if you’ll be interested)

So I’m announcing an official hiatus!! I’ll still be active on tumblr bc I’m on it all the time and I’ll probably reblog stuff to this blog, but I won’t be writing until further notice. I wish I had a general time frame for when I’ll be back in the game but unfortunately I have no idea lmao!! Probably at least till the end of the semester :(

Thank you so much for your patience!! Love u all!!!!

Announcement

Hey!!! Today was the first day of classes which means school is officially BACK in session (unfortunately)

The good thing is that having a structured schedule helps me get in a proper rhythm for writing, but the catch is that I’m juggling a lot more this semester than I’m used to, so it might take me a couple weeks to get a proper routine down, so please be patient with me during this time!

(Also, commissions are still open!)

Once inside, it was easy to tell that this was a Chug ‘N Squeeze on a college campus. It was a bit rowdier and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than other locations. Taako quickly spotted Carey and Killian chatting across the room. They waved when they saw him, then winked and gave synchronized thumbs up when Kravitz wasn’t looking.

Hey! Guess who finally fucking finished writing this fic??? Thank you so much for your patience for this last chapter! Hope y’all like it!
