#yup#it’s so hard to read published fiction now#so much of it is just sooo baaad#but like#part of the gate keeper effect to publishing#is that they don’t get inundated with all these stories using similar tropes#tropes don’t get refined like they do in fanfiction#published fiction ends up feeling cliche and clunky and incredibly slow#where fanfiction works through every possible iteration of a trope or a technique in a matter of months#and then comes back and turns old beloved tropes on their heads#while published fiction is still floundering with the basics of something that fanfiction explored in depth years ago#it’s like when someone shows you a ‘cool new funny meme’ from fb#and you’re like#that was on tumblr in 2007#and it’s not even a particularly good example of the meme#it’s a mediocre example at best#from before the meme really got going and people got really imaginative#that’s how published fiction feels to me these days#in comparison to fanfiction#anyway#tag talking#fanfiction#reading (via)

Anonymous asked: Do you have any trans/nb characters? Other than the lovely Tailor of course! I started reading tpoh recently and I absolutely fell in love with it right away. It's so gorgeous and well written

I do! there’s Justin Case from a while back, and one or two characters who are WIP in my head, but if you mean TPoH specifically Assok is nb and there is one canonically trans character yet to appear- on the other hand if you feel you identify with a particular character as being trans/nb I am absolutely really not gonna debunk that headcanon so like??? yeah. enjoy

tHANKS ANON WHO IS DEFINITELY NOT AN ALIEN AND/OR ROBOT

hey folks just a reminder that there’s no TPoH update tomorrow! also mega sorry for lack of art today, I was going to post something but then there was An Incident involving my dogs and the end result is my left lower arm is kind of hecked- hoping it’s not too bad but it’s strained for sure and my right is already under stress from the usual work soooo… yeah. sorry. I am working on things, and fortunately taking a week out to do Boring Adult Business things like taxes has worked well bc most of that is done, and I got a tiny bit more of the doodle comic done so yay? but everything is still uh, WIP so I don’t got nothing to show for it :’C sorry. I am hoping to keep to the plan and have TPoH back on schedule next Sunday but apologies if I can’t do much extra stuff for you guys
