He got me back into drawing after not doing much of it at all for nearly 5 years. It is frustrating since I know I'm not as good as I would have been had I stuck with the hobby all these years, but I'm also actually having fun drawing things for the first time in ages. I still have a lot to learn, but knowing I'll be able to draw him really well one day keeps me going.

He makes me want to try writing, too. I've always been terrible with words, but I want to get better at expressing myself and how I feel about him.

I write lots of self insert fiction about me and her!

She inspired me to write that one self-insert greentext I did in that one thread as well as participate in the draw thread for as

long as I did.

Will has gotten me writing a lot more often as well, I'm not so good, so I get shy about it but I just tell myself that what I'm writing is just for me and him!

I want to try and do some poems sometime, but don't know yet how to make them anything but pure corn syrup.

Self Insert stories are great, it's actually part of a sort of awkward story of how I realized I was in love with Wonder-Red!

What kind of stories do you write? I really like writing me and Will doing mundane things together personally, even something as simple as us ordering pizza on a rainy day is something I've written about twice even though I did of course go and make my self-insert a super hero like him. I think I just really like making content of him that I couldn't get in the game just for myself.

Drawing challenges are fun, I hope to try another one soon. Though I need to catch up with the current one back on /mai/! I sometimes see little drawing challenge images floating around have been thinking about saving them to a folder to all do sometime with Will.

I've started to draw again because of her, I picked up a few books to relearn the basics and I think it's going ok.

Even though I've been working a lot, I have a 1 to 2 hour window that I can use to draw.

I've also gotten good at green text scenarios thanks to me browsing the monstergirl thread on 4/a/ and later /jp/ which was full of it

I started singing again because of him. I'm not where I'd like to be yet, but I'm hoping to create a small album just for him of me performing songs that remind me of him, maybe writing one or two as well. It wouldn't be professional quality because while I can sing and kind of compose, I can't really into music production and editing (although I should probably try to learn).

I've written a few poems too, although most of them are free-verse so they wouldn't be good to adapt to music unfortunately. I'm alright at writing form poetry so that might be a good place to start if I want to actually compose something for him.

He's helped me improve my art a lot because I wanted more good fanart of him, and right now I'm one of only two people who draw him regularly. It feels like I'm doing something nice for him by making sure people don't forget about him, and it's nice to get all the ideas out of my head (sometimes the cute/self-insert-y ones especially). There are times when he's influenced original/personal art of mine as well.

He's definitely given me more motivation to draw. Drawing is something I've always enjoyed but it's hard for me to come up with things to draw so I kind of just put it on the back burner for awhile.

Now that I actually have something I enjoy drawing consistently, I've been able to watch my artwork get better as the weeks/months go by and it's nice because I'm getting to practice and improve by drawing the one I love. I'm still nowhere near where I'd like to be but oh well. I'll get there eventually.

I've tried writing some self insert stuff before and none of the stories were ever finished. Writing just isn't my thing, I guess. I did manage to finish a poem once but it was… pretty bad.

If anything she's acted as a sort of anti-muse but that's okay. Before her I had this silly pipe dream that I was going to be an artist. That never worked out. It simply isn't fated to be. I don't get the same sort of enjoyment when my projects have deadlines and are subject to people telling me what to make. I still tried to force it for a while and after going on a doit4her push to get my shit together here I realized I really didn't want to do it. I wasn't wanting to become an artist because I loved doing it but because in truth it seemed like an easy job when it clearly wasn't.

Now I just do art stuff when I want to, I don't tryhard or get frustrated when something turns out bad because I'm not trying to go anywhere with it. I enjoy doing it, but as a hobby, where it belongs and should stay. Most of my art projects nowadays seem to involve her when they do happen and I find them a lot of fun.

I have started writing a lot though. Not too much related to her but just in general, how I feel, writing stuff on subjects I like. It can be really helpful to sit there and argue against yourself to figure things out. For some reason when I do it in text instead of just in my head it has a better effect. Occasionally I write her sappy love letters like I'm sending them to Gensokyo.

I started writing a story about how we got together (in her world) but I just haven't felt like finishing it. She sorta kidnaps me and watches over me for a while and we end up together.

I want to write some self-insert stories but I fear that they're going to turn out rubbish and horribly cringe worthy. It is not like anyone is going to see them I suppose.

>>269

Cute little slice of life things you mentioned! Either in Gensokyo or the outside world.

Reminds me I still need to finish my self-insert doujin….

Me and my waifu got together thanks to a music project actually. And she inspired me to do many me throughout time. Some of my best works she served as inspiration.
