life update. doctors HATE her: local author in complete remission for severe crohnโ€™s disease after just one week of treatment.

jk but also not really?? i had my first infusion a couple weeks back and not only did i see improvement literally the next day, but by the end of the first week all my symptoms had disappeared entirely. not just the GI stuff, but my mouth ulcers, joint pain, and episcleritis too. it cleared up so quickly and so completely that it honestly didnโ€™t even feel like i had crohnโ€™s anymore.

โ€ฆ right in time for finals week LMAO but the good news is that i got thru it, school is finally over and done with (third year in the bag) and other than studying for my navle in the fall, iโ€™m off the hook til end of summer.

WHICH MEANS... writing time. oh boy am i excited. i donโ€™t wanna promise a specific date but i had already been chipping away at the next htp chapter and now thereโ€™s nothing to stop me from giving it my full attention. so uh, keep an eye out for that ๐Ÿ’ƒ

thoughts on the new character bios/interviews that the dreamworks twitter posted below the cut, as promised

OHH GOOD CATCH. i figured dreamworks left herโ€™s out just to avoid confusion but thatโ€™s a neat little nod to it. i wonder if weโ€™ll see any aspect of these โ€˜interviewsโ€™ turn up in the show, or if it was purely for advertising.

there was a song i found out about through your main htp playlist a couple months ago and i was obsessed with it and had it on repeat and now i would really like to find it again so i went back to your account and the playlists changed and i cant find it anymore but i know it was either like the second or third song in the playlist so i was wondering if you remembered what it was?? would love u forever ty ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

ooooh yeah i think ur talking about โ€œfirst day of my lifeโ€ by bright eyes? itโ€™s the only one i think iโ€™ve actually removed from the playlist, the others were just re-ordered. i still like that song btw itโ€™s very sweet, i just decided it didnโ€™t quite fit tango in HTP. it placed a little too much significance on his relationship w jimmy as being the start of his new life when in the story heโ€™s had nearly ten years w the hermits beforehand, learning about love and kindness. so thatโ€™s the only reason i took it off.

but anyway, i hope thatโ€™s the song u meant, if not lmk and iโ€™ll have another look!

Whatโ€™s your character design process?

Researching the HECK out of visual stuff to inspire me is my first go!! (Besides also asking aqua Lore questions HAHA)

I like to search up outfits, costuming, characters that have the energy I want to infuse, and sometimes even bugs or rocks or anything else that scratches my brain!

I often also search โ€œsexy ___ costumeโ€ to see how ppl are slutifying certain things HEHE

Annnd of course, I take screenshots of the characterโ€™s skin(s)! Then I compile all this into a digital cork board app I have called โ€œVizRefโ€, resize it to only take a little bit up of my screen, and get drawing!! I find having the visuals nearby but not ON my canvas makes me feel way less cluttered!

Hereโ€™s the chunk of refs I had up when making Cub!

And hereโ€™s me drawing him! I try not to get TOO bogged down in details bc I can always redraw them later, but itโ€™s good to have a visual starting point! And he came about easily enough, but sometimes I gotta scrap a lot of attempts bc it doesnโ€™t have the energy I want it to!

If your hels to pay gets bigger on tiktok there's a good chance jimmy will stumble across it. He doesn't use tumblr but I know he watches a lot of fan tiktoks.

yknow, i have considered the non-zero chance of a hermit/life series member stumbling across my work, especially as more and more of them seem to be dipping their toes here on tumblr. this is the only fandom iโ€™ve written for where the creators interact so closely with their fans (and fan content) on a regular basis, so itโ€™s def a strange prospect. i guess thatโ€™d apply to tik tok as well.

lemme be clear: i would never want someone to purposefully send my work to the ccโ€™s or ask them about it, but if they come across it on their own, i trust them to moderate their own engagement as an adult on a public platform (ie. if they donโ€™t wanna see shipping nonsense, i trust they are capable of justโ€ฆ scrolling past it LOL) and i believe jimmy has already been informed that the fic community would prefer if he didnโ€™t engage like he does w fanart/animatics so iโ€™m prob safe from him ever like, actually acknowledging it HA

but anyway, the proximity of the ccโ€™s to the fandom is def interesting. from a creator standpoint, i can absolutely understand their curiosity. but it seems to make some ppl think the fandom needs to be โ€˜sanitizedโ€™ for them, which i disagree with. fandom is and has always been a place for the fans. the ccโ€™s are all adults, they can decide what content they wanna see. not that this is directed at u anon LMAO i just always see those โ€˜scatter!โ€™ posts in the main tag anytime a cc mentions tumblr and iโ€™m like uhโ€ฆ sir i live here. u literally picked up my rock. iโ€™m just chillin.

so yeah, iโ€™ve made my peace w the chance of a cc coming across the HTP au (i guess i OUGHTA be ok w it cuz iโ€™ve written a piece for the next trafficzine, but no shipping for that ofc HAHA)
