Hiβ€οΈ I know this is random but I needed to come thank you for sharing your writing. I came across your work last night, specifically E Pluribus Unum. And it is by far my favorite thing I have ever read in the realms of fanfiction and beyond. I havenβt cried and felt like that in so long. Iβm so appreciative there are artists such as yourself who share their talent with us. Thank you so much β¨
Hi! Thank you so much! I need to respond over on AO3 still (I'm woefully behind on that), but I am so glad that you enjoyed the story, and I really appreciate the kind words and encouragement. EPU meant a lot to me when I was writing it, and it makes me smile when I see people still enjoying it. Thank you for reading and then taking the time to leave a note! π§‘
It shouldn't be necessary to say this. But here's a reminder to the SessKag community that anoymous hate comments on AO3 fics have no place in our community.
It is childish.
It is bullying.
It is harassment.
It is deplorable behavior.
Whatever your personal grievances are, going out of your way to try and hurt someone else says more about you than it does them.
Do better. And make the choice not to be internet trash.
@chierafied has a spidy sense. That is all. π

The Banality of Evil
To be evil is to be boring
It is far more interesting to be intentionally kind
To strive every day to be better than your last
Knowing tomorrow youβll be better still
The banality of evil does not come from pain
That you inflict on others thoughtlessly
It is banal because you cannot imagine
Anything more revolutionary than being cruel
The easiest thing in the world to do
Your malice is defeated because you only know one trick
I will triumph because my heart knows a thousand ways to love
And I will learn even more tomorrow

If you can't strictly adhere to the day's given theme of Canon VS AU, that's all right. Whatever you create inspired by these prompts is welcome!
If any of the day's themes has you scratching your head, please have a look at the SessKag Week Theme Breakdown.

All kind of fanworks are welcome!
Fan fics, fan art, edits, moodboards & gifsets, playlists, podfics etc. Anything youβre inspired to create! The only requirement is that the work should be new.

hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.
Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.
Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.
SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
Homie gonna share this

Recommended by @drosselmeyerwrites, for:
"Honest, raw writing that will stick with the reader. She's not afraid to tackle the reality that life is sometimes hard and harsh, and she gives a voice to those who are tasked with living disabled and differently abled lives."
Recommended reading:
- Embrace the Silence Rated E. From 2010. Completed Chapter Fic. Summary: Silence is the voice of time, it speaks to you in a language without words. You must listen in order to hear it. You must watch in order to see it. You must be still in order to feel it. And then you must understand it if you wish to embrace it.
- Into the Blue Rated E. From 2010. One Shot. Summary: Kagome is a marine biologist who falls for a beautiful merman named Sesshoumaru.
- Lightning on the Brain Rated T. From 2020. One Shot. Summary: Nothing alarmed Kagome like the sight of Rin racing up to her in tears. She had scarcely emerged from the well before the preteen skidded to a halt. Her flushed, tear stained face glistened under the bright noontime sunlight. βLady Kagome, Lord Sesshoumaru is possessed by something!β
- Risks in the Dark Rated E. From 2010. One Shot. Summary: In which Kagome discovers freedom.
- Wheels Rated E. From 2010. One Shot. Summary: In which Kagome learns to love her body and herself again.
