Hate when I posted something weeks ago and, upon rereading, I find a typo that I missed ><
Here, have an old Inktober (from before I gave up on the word and just started doing ‘Ink Art’ concentrations XD) Idk if anyone remembers, but this would be my second ink-on-grid piece (the first being Jason Voorhees from the same year). I have never had the pleasure(?) of catching or even encountering MissingNo. Pokémon © Game Freak Art by me - please do not repost Instagram Link
Mark nodded. “I-I’m okay, I’m okay,” he said. He took a deep breath and let it out.
“Human?” a rough voice inquired. “And ugly human?”
Chapter title is original.
This part is shorter than the others, but I just needed a little bit more to tie it all up nicely. I do not plan on continuing this (though that depends on what Markiplier’s new movie is about and if I’m inspired).
I hope you all enjoyed this! I started writing this a year ago but then had taken a long break before I decided I wanted to finish it in earnest. Not sure what’s next for me, but we’ll see!
Mark squirmed. “Okay – maybe just a little blue. Just a bit – never enough to make, say, a whole giant wormhole or anything.”
Mark said nothing more. Neither did The Captain.
Mark facepalmed.
Title is from the various times Mark mentioned the ‘old times’.
This chapter ended up being slightly longer than the Warfstache chapter, which was a surprise to me XD
I had to make a couple last-minute changes, so it’s a day later than I wanted it to be (been aiming for Saturdays with this thing). I’m not sure I’m happy with it, but I hoped y'all liked it anyhow. ^^ I feel like I shot myself in the foot a bit making the Captain non-verbal, especially for this chapter.
“Howdy doody, my dear little attractive friend of mine!” The figure drawled cheerfully, and The Captain felt anxiety coil in their gut.
It was the pink man. Wilbur? Warner? Wilfred?
…
Was that Stayin’ Alive?
Title is from the loading screen of Part 2.
Writing Wilford is a weird kind of fun. But he is a legitimately scary character XD Also, this is probably going to be the longest chapter. It depends on how the last stretch ends up being. There will be one or two more chapters.
Part 4 is up!
The Captain’s left hand hurt and every so often they let go of the wheel to try to flex the muscles of their palm, to little relief.
“Is your hand bugging you, Captain?” Tyler asked. “Maybe you should have medical take a look at it.”
The Captain shrugged. They were fine – it was just a little twinge that must’ve happened while they were trying to sleep. At least, they hoped.
“All those mistakes – all those lifetimes – all those people…” Mark’s breath shuddered. “I guess I lost hope.” He looked back at him with wet eyes.
Another bang. The room rumbled and dust broke free from the crevices in the ceiling. The emergency lights flickered. “But you didn’t,” Mark said with a sad smile. “You never did.”
They wanted to tell him he was wrong. They did lose hope. He wasn’t even awake the first time they did, despite only being feet away in the other cryo-pod. They tried to settle into the colony life so many times, but it never stuck no matter what they did. Hope was thin and cracked whenever they lost him, or whenever he wasn’t there.
The start of my In Space with Markiplier fic that I had been working on for the better part of a year. :)
Also find it on DeviantART!
I’m debating on whether I should just post the first ‘chapter’ of my ISWM fic since i haven’t worked on it for so long. I’m nervous because i don’t have everything in line and before i’ve started projects without an end in mind and low-key regretted it. But I almost feel like I need to, just because I’ve been sitting on it and it hasn’t done anything by itself. >w>;
Should i post it?

Justification Explanation, disclaimer, and links below the cut (please read)
the best part about making someone else’s post viral is not having to deal with the notes.
I am so sorry, @neilnevins.
This JackSepticEye-flavored OC is growing a bit more than I initially thought he would in this fic. I honestly was just going to have him as a cameo production reference, but he’s doing a bit more than expected in this draft. I think you guys’ll like him.
#Me: I need content on my art blog#also me: (reblogs memes about how hard art is)#i am writing in that iswm wip#but i'm kind of agonizing a bit over the 9 comic and the fnaf fic that I want to finish >w>;#trying VERY HARD not to agonize but the agonizing is happening#about art#about writing#halp me#meme
“For The Plot,” I whisper, deleting a rad detail that no longer works as tears fall from my eyes
Don’t delete it!
Take the detail and put it in a cut scene file. Less anguish + can be used again if needed later. Recycling!
Brought to you by: I never used to be merciless enough as an editor because losing bits made me sad. Now that I know I can bring them back for a sequel or even post cut scenes separately, I am so much more vicious, and my writing is better for it.
Instead of killing your darlings, I’ve called it cryogenically freezing your darlings

SOME GOLD WRITING ADVICE
Literally, this is why I keep all of my drafts. Including the hand-written ones on scrap paper or the timeline layouts that I (rarely) make. And even if I cross something out on the handwritten drafts, I only put a line through it instead of the ‘blackout’ style of cutting. Saves me so much time if I liked how a phrase went but I don’t use it in that particular piece.
A quick doodle I did of the Captain while I was waiting for an appointment. Not sure if I’ll do a whole lot of art pieces with them, but I liked doing this. An additional idea - not pictured - is that their hat is interchangeable between a bunch of different ‘captain’ hats (from the ballcap in the puppet AU to various nautical style hats (like a feathered tricorn)).

*writing a dream sequence*
Man, it’s a good job I’m a vivid dreamer and know exactly how terrifying this thing I’m writing actually is.
#writing#about writing#writing is hard#vivid dreaming#wip#it's not like gorey or anything - it's more of an emotional nightmare#whee#but legitimately i'm actually kind of happy i'm not completely making up the concepts of the scene#still i'm legitimately concerned this piece will end up in the WIP pile indefinitely#don't like that :/
