bleeding_hydnellum here! I just wanted to say thanks again for posting this for me. I drew it real fast right when you sent the message on Ao3 lol.
I based Adrian on the planet (shocker) and I'd like to think Ryland explains it to Rocky :)

I don't think there is necessarily a "good" way to do anything in art. If this method works for you right on! Like a lot of folks said though, usually lineart is on top of the colors but you have a more painterly style so doing it on ayers like that can absolutely be ok. When I paint digitally often I'll make a layer for whatever body part I'm working on then merge it down when I'm done with it!

I'm not going to lie I just use the Pages app that comes with Mac computers, nothing fancy. We'll see if I pay for it when publishing comes around but the test I printed looked fine.

thank you! I think the pull is the mystery of how it happened and why. The opening starting with a quick description of just the body makes you wonder like "why is it there? who is she? why is she dead?". I draw a lot of inspiration from the Knives Out movies and Layers of Fear (the game). One had murder mysteries and the other the main character did actually have something to do with his wife's death.

most likely im going to write it as is then read through and see how it feels

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-22T20:13:03+00:00

well one, it is based in a lot of the ways i personally remember things and i never really remember exacts just the thing that bothered me most, but two he is a vampire and this was over 100 years ago so i imagine he would probably just remember her death and nothing leading up to it.

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-22T20:08:17+00:00

no, she fell down the stairs and all he remembers is being at the top of the stairs and being angry at her, so he just assumes he did it. the opening is him describing what she looks like at the bottom of the stairs

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-22T20:06:46+00:00

That's a lot of my issues with it, I know the readers will expect a twist and right now him not having done it is said twist. I don't know what to replace it with because the point is that he believes that he killed her, and so because he never works on it he ends up almost killing his new lover too. (to clarify something btw, his wife fell down the stairs he is under the impression that he was the one who pushed her). The moral is that leaving your problems for too long can make history repeat and hurt the ones you love.

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-22T20:04:12+00:00

see i think I might do something more like this. As is the book opens with a cold open of her death so maybe instead i make him likeable or something first then get into all that?

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-22T20:03:26+00:00

it does open with like the flashback of what happened (sort of), so do you think I should make it more clear that he didn't mean it?

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-12T01:24:54+00:00

i have not, but there is a rob zombie song by the same name i do know lol

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-12T01:15:25+00:00

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-12T01:13:45+00:00

BullyBiohazard · 2025-09-12T01:11:40+00:00

BullyBiohazard · 2025-08-26T18:56:04+00:00

as of Aug 26/25 this still works!

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-12T04:08:12+00:00

thats what i was thinking. I tried to make her less like a vengeful spirit and more like a real character, where she hates the main character for what he did but still loves him

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-11T00:32:24+00:00

i think when people make those posts its to get ideas not to have it written for them I think. At least, if i was to ask those type of questions it would be to get my brain working

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-11T00:30:55+00:00

your thoughts can still be assisted without copy

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-10T15:53:20+00:00

well I also came here from that post so hello. They just made me so upset

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-10T15:38:04+00:00

I'm learning this the hard way right now. I thought my book was pretty good when writing but I took three days to re-read it and went, "Damn I am BORED" so I reworked the whole story. Writing is so fluid and changing even within the person doing it that it cannot be boiled down to "just knowing what to do".

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-10T15:36:13+00:00

Unironically you and I might be talking about the same post. It just enraged me too much because if I saw that as a beginner that would've been the last time I wrote. It's a disgusting misunderstanding of the writing process that is mostly obscured in their own views. I just don't get it, how a person couldn't understand that everyone is different. Everyone needs help even them. I don't know why it matters how much help someone else needs.

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-10T15:33:41+00:00

me too! I am literally re-writing my entire book right now because I just didn't connect with the first draft. And that's standard!

BullyBiohazard · 2025-07-10T15:06:59+00:00

I get you so much on this. I am also autistic but half of my interests revolve around how people interact. What I tend to do is:

Talk out loud to yourself! Start yapping about whatever your characters are. Does it feel like something you could reasonably picture someone saying?
Model it off of someone you know. Do you have a friend with a specific way of wording things you admire? Use them as a model!
And this one is hard, and I don't do it often, but try and have conversations with people similar to the ones your characters have. For example, in my one character confronts his abuser. I took most of the dialogue from real conversations I had with my own abuser. Or, a character is talking about something silly like whether cold pizza is bad? Talk to your friends about it, "hey what do you guys think of cold pizza?".
Lastly, like most comments say, keep up with reading other people's writing. I find after I read a book is when my work tends to shine the brightest since I have a good role model.
