Ian Haramaki 🏳️‍⚧️✨ @MFF C8

I’m so sorry if you’ve met me at MFF this weekend and I thought I was off I’ve been barely avoiding the meltdown of a lifetime all weekend

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

LRP getting back into MCYT fandom has put me in touch with a lot of younger artists and if I can be the one to help guide them through that frustration I will. I will answer every “Robert help” with a redline and applicable advice if it keeps them going. It sucks so bad sometimes but you gotta do it

THIS. Frustration tolerance is the key to getting good at anything at all, not just art. Socials media makes it so easy to compare yourself to others, but you just have to ignore that and have fun with your little drawings. Do it enough and you'll eventually get better through trial and error.

i've really taken to messy hard light layers lately, it's so fun

#writingprompt My WIP is set in the real world, February in Texas. This year there it's unusually warm, but he goes to other places where he's in shock by how truly bone-bitingly freezing the world can get in February, highlighting how deeply unprepared he is for his journey.

Busy! Sacaask summers are wet and washed-out, so winter's the time for gathering and feasting and partying and hunting and all kinds of get-togethers (it's also absolutely freezing and very snowy, but that doesn't bother Sacaask folk any [not least because some of 'em don't feel the cold anyway])

Winter doesn't really exist in The Chosen One Con, but there is a domain in my Cruel Gods books that is exclusively winter... and oh, is it harrowing and plagued by the undead 😉 Some of them are nice when you get to know them, I'm sure.

The thing I'm currently writing mostly takes place in Southern Vermont (near Brattleboro) in the winter, and it's a typical VT winter. Lots of snow and lots of cold, but otherwise quiet.

In my one book, it's a disaster. Toxic, radioactive snow falling from dark clouded skies devoid of any sunlight. Cursed creatures like warped yetis and mammoths to name a couple. It's the most dangerous time of year in the parts where winter weather still exists.

In The Night Garden series, it depends on who is talking. Acanthus loves the winter because of the long nights and the cold. They thrive. Cypress prefers autumn, winter's a bit depressing.

In Such Sweet Sorrow, winter is quiet and cozy.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms It's cold as f#c$ 😅 Orasan lies in a subpolar climate, and while not as cold as regions even further north, it does have harsh winters with days averaging -20º C.

What do nensiis do? They play a bunch of winter sports to warm up, mountain racing being the most popular! :D

Avalonian winters come on quite suddenly when the Grim Wind rips across the temperate zones, plunging everything into freezing temperatures. After that,things lighten up, but there is little snow. It's mostly dry and frigid.
In the valleys, things can be less extreme, but you still want to stay cozy

winters in salerno aren't particularly cold, but do get windy and very rainy. they're very similar to winters where i grew up in central texas so it's fun writing about them

Boring answer, I know. But depends on where you are. Some places have good layers of snow, and some just don't get any at all.
Some of it is hustle and bustle. Some just isn't all that exciting.

What’s winter like in your book’s setting? Is it harrowing and plagued by the undead? Is it quiet and contemplative? Something else? #WritingPrompt
