TFW you're a cool badass assassin who hates everyone except for the cute bard you keep getting partnered with on missions and she's REALLY cute and winks at you sometimes and you have a big gay crush on her but that's not allowed

And also you stab somebody (unrelated to the gayness)

Yes I already made sticker sheets for a book that's barely been started. I can't help it, I love them u_u

As of Azure Mirage chapter 2, all 3 of these nerds have been introduced! (Storm hasn't been named yet, though. He's just some weirdo)

I am TRYING but GODDAMMIT I need to FIX IT OR I’LL DIE!!!! Rips my hair out and screams

✨ Star @ LBX ✨ @thestarfishface.bsky.social · 2d

Yessss that’s exactly what it feels like!!!

Like dangit I’m back at level 1 but I’m gonna get so many cool and valuable skills out of this…!!

✨ Star @ LBX ✨ @thestarfishface.bsky.social · 2d

-Forcing myself to write a shitty 1st draft so I can fix it later, “Make it exist first” style

-Procrastinating on writing because I don’t have everything planned out perfectly yet and if it’s not perfect the first time I’ll die

I (lovingly) GIVE PEOPLE SHIT FOR THIS ALL THE TIME, AND YET…!!

✨ Star @ LBX ✨ @thestarfishface.bsky.social · 2d

This is not my first rodeo, this is like my 4th rodeo, why am I STILL managing to hit EVERY BOX on Newbie Artist Bingo??

Including hits such as:

-Getting writer’s block bc I don’t like my 1st draft

-Getting so focused on revisions I have trouble finishing anything

Tangentially related to getting critique:

One thing that’s frustrating me with writing is how I’m running face-first into every goddamn beginner artist hurdle in such a predictable and cliche way it’s kind of hilarious

I mean it’s infuriating but it’s also VERY funny how predictable my hangups are

Anyway, this ramble is sponsored by all the folks who have left concrit on Azure Mirage so far!! Blows kisses to all of you lovely people, my writing muscles are gonna get so big so fast aaaaaa— 💪

✨ Star @ LBX ✨ @thestarfishface.bsky.social · 2d

Accepting and applying constructive criticism is like power leveling.

On your own, you may eventually overcome those hurdles, eventually

But taking crit and using it to target and overcome your specific weaknesses is a hell of a lot faster and more efficient.

Like yeah, a lot of stuff in art is subjective, but being able to humble yourself a little and say “I know my art is not (and will never be) perfect, but acknowledging and working on my faults is how I grow” goes a hell of a long way.

Getting critique on your work feels like cheating sometimes.

Hello outside viewer, please point out my weak points I might have trouble seeing so I may strengthen them with precision. Soon I will be unstoppable. Muahaha etc.
