Every TADC AU artist upon seeing Zooble: "Let's make them hot!"
My first post here on tumblr. Please enjoy my animation that I made. Original characters belong to clown coffin
"COME AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE MY GALLANT GAMERS!"
"Show, don’t tell" means letting readers experience a story through actions, senses, and dialogue instead of outright explaining things. Here are some practical tips to achieve that:
Tell: "The room was cold."
Show: "Her breath puffed in faint clouds, and she shivered as frost clung to the edges of the window."
Tell: "He was scared."
Show: "His hands trembled, and his heart thudded so loudly he was sure they could hear it too."
Tell: "She was angry."
Show: "She slammed the mug onto the counter, coffee sloshing over the rim as her jaw clenched."
Tell: "He was exhausted."
Show: "He stumbled through the door, collapsing onto the couch without even bothering to remove his shoes."
What characters say and how they say it can reveal their emotions, intentions, or traits.
Tell: "She was worried about the storm."
Show: "Do you think it'll reach us?" she asked, her voice tight, her fingers twisting the hem of her shirt.
Tell: "He was jealous of his friend."
Show: "As his friend held up the trophy, he forced a smile, swallowing the bitter lump rising in his throat."
Use the setting to mirror or hint at emotions or themes.
Tell: "The town was eerie."
Show: "Empty streets stretched into the mist, and the only sound was the faint creak of a weathered sign swinging in the wind."
Give enough clues for the reader to piece things together without spelling it out.
Tell: "The man was a thief."
Show: "He moved through the crowd, fingers brushing pockets, his hand darting away with a glint of gold."
What’s left unsaid can reveal as much as what’s spoken.
Tell: "They were uncomfortable around each other."
Show: "He avoided her eyes, pretending to study the painting on the wall. She smoothed her dress for the third time, her fingers fumbling with the hem."
Use metaphors, similes, or comparisons to make an emotion or situation vivid.
Tell: "The mountain was huge."
Show: "The mountain loomed above them, its peak disappearing into the clouds, as if it pierced the heavens."
Tell: "The village had been destroyed by the fire."
Show: "Charred beams jutted from the rubble like broken ribs, the acrid smell of ash lingering in the air. A child's shoe lay half-buried in the soot, its leather curled from the heat."

HELOOOOOOOOOOO :D
NAH MICHAEL, YOU ARE WILD FOR THIS. WDYM JAX HAS A %$!#⁉️
Jokes aside, I love how Michael is fully aware that Jax isn’t this suave and seductive Casanova that a lot of people paint him out to be and instead is a desperate loser who will literally spam your DMs 😭 😂 .
Nothing’s better than when the Tumblr Sexyman is actually a lonely loser in canon 👍. Please let us normalize loser Jax 😭🙏.
Blah blah blah, something something TADC OC blah blah 🫣
Challenge I set with @g00bergoo and I’m holding up my end of the bargain XD -
Say hello to Dell, a deer ballerina who has found herself stuck in this digital hell just like everyone else. She’s resilient though, and quite mouthy to boot!
Caine named her after the computer brand just because it was funny to him 💀

Expect to see more of her, she’s my special lil’ deer bb 🥺
and yes, before anyone asks, she definitely has a design for my Folklore AU as well 👀
For the epic bird who managed to revive a fandom @randomalistic (<- SUCH A PASSIONATE AND KIND PERSON BTW YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO WATCH THEIR VIDEO IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! GO GO GO THIS IS AN ORDER!!!)
bonus doodles teehee, got attached to the idea of a little bird and its oxpecker-like relationship with the world's largest parasite :]c
