you're welcome! Recently I've been starting to become more interested in South and Mesoamerican myths. I've read them before but they're still a bit fuzzy at the moment, I really need to go back and read them again. I really like you're designs for the gods.

Awww thanks so much for that! I've made them quite cute, but they're a lot of fun! If you need any help with research the myths then you can always ask me! I've done a lot of reading into them since I find them fascinating and I'm always happy to help! ^v^

You're welcome! I think they're cute too. ^u^ I find mythology in general fascinating. I've been looking for something that has relatively good information on South and Mesoamerican mythology, but haven't yet unfortunately...I'm gonna keep looking though. Hopefully I'll find something soon...

I adore mythology as well! My favourite ones are Norse and Aztec... I never really got into the Greek myths for some reason... there wasn't anything that appealing to me, apart from the underworld gods and the stories relating to them. Hades and Thanatos are awesome! My DA name means 'one who studies myths' in Swedish, as an interesting trivia note! x3
It's almost impossible to find everything in once source. You have to look around in different places to get the full picture and I still don't know whether I've stumbled upon all the myths yet! There are a couple of stories with Tonatiuh in which you REALLY have to be lucky to find, which is one related to chocolate and music where Quetz steals them from him after the sun god hoards it for himself and the gods. And not to mention the fact that there are so many different versions... you really have to read a few of them and either combine them or choose the one which you think is the best and makes most sense according to which other ones you've chosen to accept. I for one like to combine them, but that's just me! Mexicolore is a brilliant site for finding out a few bits and pieces, so check that one out! I was lucky enough to have them visit at my old primary school when I still went to school and I remember a lot from them. Their website is fantastic but you have most likely stumbled upon it already!

I started out with Greek myths. The first myth book I ever read had both Greek and Norse and the illustrations were amazing. The one I remember most from the Greek was Athena. I like the underworld, death and overall darker side of things too. I had a rather bad experience when I was in 4th grade of two boys making fun of me for reading Norse myths. I had to put them away after finishing the book for a while. I'm more drawn to the older myths, older than the Greek, and I like a lot of myths from the Americas in general, thought admittedly Greek myths are what I know best. I'm getting a new mythology book soon and I'm pretty sure it has stuff I don't know. I'm very aware of the fact that there are multiple versions of stories. I usually go the multiple sites and read lots of books to get a better understanding of the deities, monsters and others portrayed in myths. I guess I'm a lot more open and accepting of different stories. I really came across it while reading Egyptian for the first time and a lot of people don't realize Roman mythology, while very derivative of Greek, is very uniquely Roman. Some of the gods, like Jupiter, Minerva, Juno, and Mars were actually there before the Romans took on the Greek myths. I think I read somewhere that that's a bit like how Aztec and Mayan mythologies interact, with the Mayan being older and the Aztec borrowing very heavily from the Mayan but ultimately making the deities and stories their own.
I haven't heard of Mexicolore, but I'll check it out!

I was very bullied in school, and a lot of it was to do with the fact that I got 'obsessions' with things. A major one was Norse mythology, and people used to pick on me for it... so I completely understand. People can be really horrible when you're truly interested in something - I don't think I learnt to 'put it away' with time and place though and people just found me overall weird. Being a girl who's geeky about Norse myths and Jack the Ripper and makes one liners all the time in class doesn't really go well, which is why I love the internet because without it I literally wouldn't have any friends! I was so far on the edge of a friendship group (I was never invited anywhere with them, they never wanted me there, would never hug me when they greeted everyone else like that) and I had literally been drifted out of all the other groups there were, or I was picked on by them) that when it came to my last two years at school I simply didn't care anymore and held back on nothing... sure enough they were like two years of hell, but staying true to yourself is important, and if people don't like who you truly are then stuff them! Why have false friends?
I do exactly the same! I always read around to get loads of different angles on them and I'm rather open with different versions of things too. It's great to be open minded with things! I was reading in the Pipil myth about Nanahuatzin, who the Aztecs seem to have adopted as a canon god for their pantheon and the story about him splitting open the mountain of sustenance with his four brothers who are rain deities is SO similar to the Aztec one... the only difference really is that Nanahuatzin doesn't get trapped inside the mountain in the Aztec version! So... is Nanahuatzin a rejected Tlaloque? (He's also described as being the smallest of the gods, and the Tlaloques are midgets, so it makes sense!) X"D I have often wondered where he came from... so this will be my little theory. I could be wrong but I got all excited about this when I did my research!
Yeah, the Aztecs adapted loads of their gods to be their own... i think the only one who appears to be purely Aztec is Huitzilopochtli, though I read somewhere that he could have been a Toltec creation!
Yes, you MUST check out Mexicolore!! Have fun on there - they have loads of stuff on the Aztecs in general as well and it's such a rich resource!

I can get a bit obsessive too, and I've been called weird and strange and even not quite right. I'm pretty lucky to have had a few friends who were okay with me being strange and weird because they were too. I always hated the thought of false friends and I tended to stay close to my three best friends. It must've been awful to not even be accepted into your own friend group. Staying true to yourself might be hard, but it's worth it, really, because that's when you feel the best.
That's an interesting theory. I often think about things like that too while researching. I'm not really sure why, but I really want to write a book based on mythology, but one nobody really knows about. I'd like to incorporate more than one pantheon because that's always what bothered me when reading books based on mythology. They don't acknowledge the existence of any other besides the one they're using and it makes me kinda sad.
I've read that Huitzilopochtli was a purely Aztec creation but I've also read that the Aztecs are kind of like the descendants of the Mayans, Olmecs and Toltecs. I have a bit of a personal theory that the Aztecs are somehow linked ethnically to the Mayans in some way, because the Mayans abandoned their cities so abruptly and I'm pretty sure I read that they moved east, away from the coast. It doesn't seem much of a stretch to think some of the Maya went north--of course I could just be looking for connections where there aren't any, but there's people who think the Maya went all the way to Georgia.
Thank you for the site suggestion, it looks really interesting!

I am really happy for you that you are not completely alone, because it's really hard. While I was never physically bullied like you hear (they never dared to because for a girl I am quite tall and strong and most certainly not the wimp type!), I think I would call myself rather unlucky when it comes to friends in school - normally everybody has somebody weird who accepts them, even if it's just one person, but the one guy I did hang out with in school for a year who at the time was the only one I could properly call a friend, died of meningitis. (That is why the Halloween party was held that I went to. It's literally the only party that I am invited to. I am by all means not trying to shove sadness down your throat and I don't want to sound like I am moaning about my life and feeling sorry for myself, but my social situation is quite sad! <:"D I have to try and laugh at it... I hope things will change at university, but I was left out so horribly, and to have to deal with the death of my only school friend, I have to be ever so thankful for what I have got on the internet. Being myself has given me some amazing online friends and I've met up with three of them so far. It is a shame that they live in other parts of the world, but it's also highly interesting and feels so special when you finally get to meet them! I finally get to feel 'normal' when that happens!
Wow, yes, I would love to read that book! I like to do deity crossovers too - one day I have a comic planned of Tonatiuh at the sun god meeting for all the sun deities. I also do a RP with my dutch friend called Death's Posse which includes gods from loads of mythologies, who are all governed under the fates. It's great fun to have the other deities acknowledge each other!
Yeah, the Aztecs are sort of a mish mash of a lot of things, like the rebels that sprung up from these different groups and then started to absorb them into their little empire. I like that theory! They need to do some DNA tests for that!
Funnily enough, Mexicolore just contacted me today on my tumblr asking for me to contact them about my 'great Aztec god comic' and they want to ask me a little favour! I feel so honoured right now - my comic has barely started as well!

It must be really hard to loose your best friend. Both my Grandma and Oma died in about a year and a half. I was really hard, but I suppose it's okay because my Grandma had Alzheimer's and my Oma had Parkinson's. It was really hard on both my Grandpas and the rest of my family. I never went to parties during high school. I just didn't feel the need to go and I didn't want to be popular. I had my friends and my books and that was enough. I was left out a lot before I became friends with the three I consider my best friends, though I really didn't have any other 'friends'.
I love it when deities acknowledge each other. I don't know why, but it makes me really happy. I suppose it might just be the way I look at the world. I'd love to read that comic! It'd probably be really interesting and funny. I've never done RPs except with my friends, and once you get into character it's really fun. It'd be interesting to RP a deity.
Yes, DNA tests for the Aztecs being somehow ethnically related to the Mayans would be nice. It would also make a lot of sense, because their cultures, while not the same, do have quite a few similarities.
That's awesome that a well known website thinks your comic is great! If you do anything for the site, I hope you get acknowledged.
I was looking through the aztec gods tag on tumblr recently and saw that you had an account. I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but I'm following you. My tumblr is daughter-of-the-old-ways. I also have a mythology blog called allaboutmyths and I usually try and do stuff from all over. You don't have to follow me, but you're welcome to check out my blogs. I like yours, especially the background theme, it seems very appropriate!

It was my first proper death... and it came so suddenly. On Friday I told him, "I'll see you on Monday!"... but I never did see him again on Monday. His mother told me that his last words were, "Can you knock me out yet?" - even when he knew he was in serious trouble and could die, he still had a smile on his face and would always say something with a joke. <:"3 He had a girlfriend who was actually a bitch to me and tried to stop him hanging out with him at school - she only wanted to be with him so that she could say she had a boyfriend I reckon because she very quickly got out of touch with the family. She was the one who broke the news to me at the door after having spoken to all her other friends first about it, and she told his parents that I didn't want to come to the Halloween party the first year they held it and she never even told me! I met his parents at his grave by a freak chance two years after he had died, and I told them everything and got in contact with them. What this girl did really hurt - I found out by looking up a newspaper cutting which was published in yearbook about the event, and there were pictures of the whole group of them there. I have never forgiven her. Less than a month after Liam's death, my grandmother died. But she was old and had severe alzheimer's too, as well as a broken hip. It felt like I had already lost her, but I had been numbed by the death of my friend which was a million times worse, so I did not cry as much as I thought I would.
I know I would have disliked a lot of their parties... I love to have a drink, I love to be silly and chat or dance, and I love nibbles, but my idea of a party is not what happens at most of their ones. I am very much a party person, but I need to be with the right people, and they don't exist where I live - and if they do, I have not bumped into them! At the same time it saddens me a bit that I was not even invited to the parties where the whole year goes out. I hated a lot of my year because they froze me out or laughed at me when I always acted with the best intentions, was polite and friendly to all, chatty but different, but there is that underlying tone of being left out. The last party I was invited to by my year group was a birthday party just after Liam died... I should not have been invited to it, and I originally wasn't. There were 180 people in my year group, and only four people in the entire year were not invited to the party. Liam and I were two of them. After Liam died they realised that I had lost my only schoolfriend, so they invited me out of guilt. To be honest, if you have just a few really good friends, then it means so much more than having 100 so called friends... and as long as you feel content and happy then it's great to find a few awesome people to make your life brighter!
Roleplaying... it's literally what got me through my final school years... I could come home and pretend I was living somewhere else, hanging out with gods in some dangerous exciting plot line! I totally creeped out Tlaloc though in the RP because I told him that I found him attractive, and he could not handle the admiration from me! :"D Tezcatlipoca and Loki are like troll buddies, and then you have Tonatiuh trying to hit on my friend and then later this sassy OC called Sherly, and failing... The comic actually started off when we introduced the Aztec gods to the long term RP I was talking about. I did a load of research on them and their characters sot of fell into place and developed. But my friend got a girlfriend and is quite busy with university, so she does not really have the time to RP or talk to me half as much anymore. <:/ So I took the Aztec gods because they were so funny and I totally fell in love with how Tonatiuh came out, and started making a comic! RPing the deities is so much fun! If you want to RP with me you can - I adore it and I don't really get enough of it anymore! The deities I RPed were Tonatiuh/Nana, Tezcatlipoca, Huitzilopochtli, Loki, Thanatos... and my friend RPed Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl. She did most of the female characters and mortals and I did most of the males and gods. I will of course add more gods to the comic, and Xipe Totec is also long due! Mictlantecuhtli and his wife and Xolotl will appear in the day of the dead special! 
IKR?? I think they do acknowledge people very well on there - I am still all 'spazzy' about it... my life right now is quite samey since I am on a gap year between now and animation school at university, so it really means a lot to me when I get things like that! *V* OOOOH so you were that new follower! Thank you so much for following me! Not creepy at all - I love new followers! I think my tumblr account is a little younger than my DA account. I got a fresh DA account so that I could sort of start a new life away from school, but I've been a member of DA for almost three years now in total. YES I will follow you!! And thank you so much for those kind words! I LOVE the sound of your blog there! I've been thinking for a little while to make a 'What's New Under Tonatiuh?' blog on tumblr as well, but I'll wait until the comic gets a little more popular, and when I get some more up, hopefully! *Fingers crossed*

Wow. That's a lot to go through. My grandma didn't forget any of us, though. She got really upset sometimes and it made my grandpa really sad. My Oma's Parkinson's got so bad she couldn't walk and I suppose it might've been traumatizing to see her go from being able to walk to being in a wheelchair and can't even talk or swallow, by the end, she was on a feeding tube.
What that girl did to you was really mean and she shouldn't've done it. If something like that happened to me, I wouldn't forget it either.I'm really glad I had my friends. I still keep in contact with them. It really does help, to have someone who accepts you for who you are, not for what they want you to be. I'm not much for parties, but I like to talk to people who understand or want to learn. It always makes me happy when someone decides to be nice and respectful.
Me and my friends RP that we're the crew of the Enterprise or we're Avatar the Last Airbender characters. I'm usually Kirk and Katara. One of my friends is Mai and I sometimes call her McCoy. We even signed our yearbooks as the characters we were RPing. I'll try and find a deity/deities I'd like to be.
Yes, I was. You're very welcome for following, I really like your blog. You totally should make a blog for 'What's New Under Tonatiuh?'. More people will be able to see it. I'd help to promote it on allaboutmyths if you'd like. Thank you for following back! I love new followers too and you seem very nice.

It really is horrible watching the people you love slip downhill and suffer with it. My Nana (NOT speaking of Nanahuatzin here... that would be creepy!) could not even remember who my father was... her own son... and she was bed bound and suffering. It was heartbreaking to see her like that - it was a relief when she died because finally she was suffering no longer. I have an uncle with Parkinson's and he's really worried about it getting worse - I hope by the time we reach that age, hopefully... they will have improved mightily on medical care. Still, it's amazing what they can do right now.
Yeah, she really was vile deep inside. You would never have guessed it... she acts so lovely and friendly to everyone, but it's only once you've known her for several years when you actually begin to peek at her true colours. That's really nice that you are still in contact with them! A lot of the time people move on and drift away, but great friends will stay together for a life time! I love talking to people about subjects like that as well... I'm the kind of person who can and will talk for hours given the chance, and mythology is one of those subjects which I find so fascinating - I love history in general, or things to do with ghosts, philosophy, science etc...!
I wish I had somebody to RP with at school! Ahh it would have been so much fun! I used to RP with my brother before he grew out of it, which was funny because my mum had warned him that soon I will be getting far too old to play games. There is a part of me which will always be a child! :"D
Awww thank you so much! You seem really lovely too and it will be a pleasure getting to know you! You got me scrolling through your mythology one like crazy tonight! I shall have to finish my comic tomorrow! Hahaha! I love your mythology blog - it's brilliant, and thank you so much for showing me! Oh wow, thank you so much for offering to promote it! That would make me so happy! <:3 I'll make it soon, once I've planned it and all. If I made it a blog as if it were Tonatiuh's personal one then all he would reblog is topless women on beaches etc... so I had better not go down that path! PFFF!!

yeah, it really is. i call one of my friends (her tumblr and dA account name is dalek-cat) every week or two and we send emails to each other. my other friend i'm not so close to, but i still talk to her occasionally. it's nice to know that even though we're far away and having such different experiences and making new friends, we still have the old ones.
If provoked, I will talk just about endlessly on mythology, history, science and books. I always love when people ask to learn about new things or just have an intelligent conversation about something I love. It never fails to make me smile.
We often call each other by our character names, though when talking to other people. I spent a lot of my childhood in my head with imaginary friends and characters i'd made up or from books, movies or tv shows. Even with two younger sisters I was a pretty lonely kid. But i had my books and i was happy.
I look forward to talking with you again. Meeting nice people on the internet makes me happy. I started allaboutmyths because i needed an outlet for all my love for mythology out. I would be very happy to promote your comic. I think it's really good and more people should see it. while that would be very amusing, i think it's best not to allow Tonatiuh to have his own blog. he really would only reblog topless women on beaches. I don't remember if there's a deity for writing or scribes, but if there is one, they could have a blog for them. you could say that the comics are based on actual things the deity sees and/or hears about.

Dalek-cat! Hahaha brilliant! I guess she’s a Doctor Who fan then! You might find that slowly the emails become less and less as time passes as that’s pretty much what happened with all my mum’s old school friends, but occasionally you find one who you keep in touch with for a long time afterwards.
Hahah me too! Often at family gatherings and such it’s always me doing a load of talking about all these heavy subjects - usually my mum has to tell me that it might be getting a bit much for them and tells me to stop! But it’s just so interesting... learning about the world and the history of it is amazing and knowledge can take you so far!
Oh wow! That’s rather funny! I often get stares when I walk around with my friend whenever we get the chance to fly over and see each other as we roleplay at the same time, but we take it all rather seriously and make up proper plot lines and all that as if it were a script! When I was small I used to get my mum to ‘talk’ everything... I would point at whatever and yell ‘Talk it!!’ and she would have to roleplay with me and put on silly voices... ever since I was little I was always slightly different from most people! In the playground at school I roleplayed by myself as people thought I was odd even back then... according to those who watched me grow up, my personality actually hasn’t changed at all from when I was younger – I’ve only grown more intelligent and more mature, which is quite rare in a person. XD
I could sit on that blog for hours, seriously! It’s brilliant and really great that you made it! I make these comics as a little outlet as well in some form, but I still drive people crazy with all the stuff I keep telling them! Pfff hahah, no, Tonatiuh will most certainly not get his own blog, even if the comic features him as the main character in much the same way as the Earth revolves around the sun! (I am so saving a come-back from him relating to that concept!) I’ll think quite hard about what I’ll do with it – something fun but something sort of professional as well. Mexicolore want me to write a little article for them and they’ll link to my artwork as they loved it! I feel so honoured... and I can even make a few comics of the myths for their story section! I love to make people happy with my creative work so this makes me feel so unbelievably happy!

Yes, she likes Doctor Who, she likes the daleks and K-9 a lot. I told her I'd get her one for Christmas.
I don't usually talk at family gatherings because I don't have much to say, really. I'll talk, but everyone has long since gotten over me and my enthusiasm for talking about what I love and am knowledgeable about. I'm not very good a small talk. It's a lot of fun to do unscripted stuff. I suppose it makes you put yourself in the mindset of the character you're RPing and you don't have a lot of time to think about what you're going to say and how you're going to act. It really makes you think about the character and how they think. I talked to myself a lot when I was little. Even with two younger sisters, I never really played with them all that much, we are all so different in personality. I was odd as a child too. My dad said that when I was in 3rd grade, they thought there was something wrong with me because I still had an imaginary friend. I guess I'm like that too, not changing in personality much from when I was little to now, only becoming a bit more quiet and shy (except around people I know and trust, and even then I think only my friends ever saw the me that was active and loud and actually happy for the most part). My mother thinks I'm still not mature enough for college, and she's always said I was smart and intelligent, I just never used it.
Oh, thank you! I really do love my blog and it's one of the things that make me happiest when other people like what I'm doing. That come-back will be so funny. Yes, a mixture of professional and fun would be best. It's really great that Mexicolore wants you to write something for them and that they love you're comic. That'd be really cool, if you did a few comics to explain some of the myths on the site. I feel the same way, though I've never had anything that people have noticed. I think I might post this drawing of a mermaid I did a while ago last year. I have an old version on allaboutmyths and I finally found the more completed version. I think it still needs a bit of work, but it's almost there. I'm going to try and start writing about my idea for a mythology book soon. I've had the idea for so long and I just never got around to sitting down and writing. Hopefully I don't get too discouraged and stop it before I really start to write. I have that happen a lot.
Sorry for responding so late, I'm at college so I have classes and it takes me a while to think and write out my what I want to say

Awww I bet she’ll love that! The Daleks were always my favourites too – I had a load of little doctor who action figures which I played with and I made all these plot lines up on the spot, made this super cool house for them with furniture and everything... Those were in the days when my brother still liked to play with me, but I took things way more seriously and arguments occurred frequently when I told him to re-do a scene because he had acted them unrealistically! Pffff!!
I’m a good talker and have been ever since I was little, but that’s just because it’s wired into my character. The mythology or other highly interesting aspects of life or culture just add to my nature even more – my mum described me as being quite an intense person when I get going on something, and perhaps that’s another reason why people at my old school found me quite overpowering to talk to. XD
When I say the roleplays I do are like scripts with a plotline, I mean that my friend and I both agree on roughly what will happen for us to be able to move it in the right direction and make it exciting, but the whole thing is heavily improvised and the characters make their own choices on the spot... and often it works out that we may have to tweak the plans as things have gone off in a surprise direction... it’s all a careful balance which comes quite naturally, but they started off really small and less scripted. And like this conversation, they end up in great long paragraphs per character by accident haahah!
I must say, I feel rather lucky that I had a brother... I am by no means a girly girl and I played with toy cars rather than barbies... I rejected them even though my mum had dolls and all that from her childhood all there in front of me. They said in a study that playing with cars over dolls means that you will have less of a motherly instinct as in my case at least, it’s rather true! I really am not good with babies and I could not just take a random one home like most women say they could! My brother was not stereotypically into football and shooting games etc... and in fact we often joked that I was the more masculine one, and still am pfff... It was this gender neutral atmosphere that I grew up in which meant that we got along really well, and while he has changed quite a bit and no longer spends much time with me, we are still close. I could not have dealt with being lonely... while I like being on my own at times, I need to talk to people - I admit to being quite extroverted, but I am not that stereotypical extrovert either. That’s quite sad that your mum doesn’t believe you are ready to move on to college... <:/ Your parents are supposed to put all their faith behind you and encourage you, not /that/!
I feel so happy when people love the stuff that I churn out too, but seriously, what you made is the kinds of blog which I find most fascinating. While I also like to blog Disney stuff or funny gifs or random facts here and there, I love to learn more than anything, and mythology has always been one of my favourites! I really can’t believe that Mexicolore are excited to work with me to create something different regarding the Aztecs... It’s a lot of luck though, and contacts come into great play – if you have contacts they will take you further than anything! I’d love to see your mermaid drawing! And I will most certainly read your book – I hope you manage to get around to finishing it... It’s all too easy for any zest in making it to dry up before you’re anywhere near done, but think of the outcome! >.<”
Oh, that’s fine! I know what you mean with being busy – my last school year had me flooded with so much homework that I barely managed a drawing a week, therefore I needed this gap year so that I could discover myself a little more and practice for my portfolio.

Yes, she will. I decided that if i got one for her for Christmas, I'd give the other to her for her birthday, that way I don't forget either of them. I often get really intimidating when I start to talk about a subject because I'll get really passionate and enthusiastic and start to ramble on and on about stuff nobody but me really understands. It's kinda sad, really, that I don't have very many people to talk to and the few that I do have, I don't see all that often anymore. Oh, I see! That's cool! I've never done a roleplay with a vaguely established plot. Most of the time, we would come up with the setting, the beginning and go from there. It's quite interesting to see how strange we get because we don't really have anything by way of where we want to go.
I'm quite introverted and a bit shy and quite. It's rather hard for me to talk to strangers. I get nervous around people I don't know and I often look sad and depressed so hardly anybody pays much mind to me. My sisters and I had these hot wheels cars our dad gave us but we never really had gender neutral toys. I'd always look at the commercials and feel a strong pull towards stuff like action figures and Transformers. I had a playmobile set, and my favorite part of it was this green dragon. I can't remember what I called her, but I do know I insisted it was female. I had quite a few dolls and I learned how to fold because one of the dolls I had (I still have her, she's in the attic) needed actual baby clothes and my mom gave me some of my and my sister's baby clothes for her. I don't really want kids and I'm not over girly either. I always considered myself somewhere in the middle--able to like and understand both the girls and the boys point of view (except for the fact that I'm not male and so don't have that stuff down there). It's actually quite interesting because one of my sisters was very much tom boy and she's now more sterotypically girly that I ever could or would ever want to be.
It's alright, I guess, because my mom really is happy that I'm in college and that I'm doing well so far. She just thinks my attitude and the way I act isn't very mature but I suppose that's just because she doesn't see me in an academic setting or by myself. She was so happy when I got into the college I go to.
I suppose it might be because I find it fascinating, too. Despite being bullied in school for reading it, I still came back to it because it held such wonder and fascination for me. It really struck a cord in me and the love and interest in it stayed with me until it finally got a chance to show itself. I'll probably post my mermaid drawing soon, when I find it again. I put it somewhere and I can't remember where. But there isn't much place it could be. I've never gotten the hang of digital art, though I think some of it is really amazing. I have a few ideas in my head about how I want to go about writing my story, and when it is further along, I think I might post, either on here or on tumblr. Yes, the outcome will be very much worth it if I write it the way I want to and get the story to cooperate.
