Aaaa i really hope you'll be able to get in there. Vgen is such a cool website and I also want to get on there because this is genuinely such an amazing thing for artists
Hi! I usually just post fanart here and only ever ramble through the tags, but this is important for me, so please read
TL; DR is that I need this post to reach 100 likes and 5 unique comments in order to be accepted into VGen. Here's the full explanation:
I've been drawing seriously for about 9 years now (here are some examples)
For all this time, I've only ever done commissions to people I've known personally, but after all this time I feel like I've gotten to the level where I feel confident about beginning to try to work with this and go after my dreams
After some researching I found out about VGen - a site design to help both artists find clients and to help people to not end up scammed by fakers. I found it great, but issue is that getting in VGen as an artist can be hard. I'm not friends with anyone who's in so I cant ask for a code directly, I tried the contest but it didn't work out and I don't want to have to rely purely on luck - this is where you come in!
Another way of being approved is sending in a post with the tag and having it reach 100 likes and 5 unique comments. I don't like asking for engagement, but Tumblr is the platform I've done the most numbers on and I feel like this is easier than spending months trying to win at the contest
Any reblog or like genuinely means the world to me and it only takes a few moments of your time. Alternatively, if you're in VGen and have a spare code, I'd be eternally grateful if you were so kind to share it
If this doesnt work, I'll probably just keep adding the tag to my next posts until something eventually gets there. Regardless, if you read this far, thank you

I like that we’re all autistic here because sometimes I don’t want to have thoughts I just want to reply to something my mutual said with “:]]” and them to respond “:D!!” to show that we are both happy with each other and satisfied with the interaction
Hey kids, wanna learn what signs of botulism look like?
“Lemme go!” Hero slurred, “your restraints can’t hold me forever!”
Villain pinched the bridge of their nose. The “restraints” Hero was referring to were a couple of soft, plush blankets tucked tightly around their shivering body. Hero was currently laying in Villain’s bed, and they were as sick as a dog. Villain put a hand to Hero’s forehead. Still feverish. That might explain the delirium.
“Hero, I haven’t captured you,” Villain said, “you’re at my base because you’re sick and no one was taking care of you, remember?”
“Lies!” Hero yelled hoarsely, “I’ll have you behind bars when I get out of this!”
“I’m sure you will,” Villain sighed, “but until then, how about you take some medicine for me, yeah?”
Villain sat Hero up against the pillows and poured some medicine onto a spoon.
“Open up,” Villain said.
“I’m not going to let you poison me!” Hero said weakly, “I- mmph!”
Villain shoved the spoon into Hero’s mouth.
“Good, now swallow,” Villain said.
“Mm-mm!” Hero shook their head vigorously.
“Hero, if you don’t swallow the medicine, I’ll… I’ll kidnap someone for ransom!”
Hero’s eyes widened. After a couple of seconds, they swallowed the medicine.
“Your poison tastes terrible,” Hero said.
“Medicine, Hero,” Villain corrected, “I need that fever of yours to break, now try to get some sleep.”
Villain laid Hero back down in the bed. Hero’s eyes remained stubbornly open.
“Hero.”
Hero glared up at Villain. Villain struggled to stay calm. How long was this delirium going to last? Villain absent-mindedly ran a hand through Hero’s hair while they tried to think. Was drugging them an option? Villain could always crush up some sleeping pills and slip them in some tea, but then again, it was a fight just to get Hero to take their medicine. Maybe a round of hypnosis? No, that probably wouldn’t work either.
“Hhng,” Hero whined.
Startled, Villain looked down at Hero.
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’ wanna sleep,” Hero yawned, “you can’t… make me.”
Something glinted in Villain’s eyes as realization hit them. They continued to card their hand through Hero’s hair, their touch feather-light.
“S-stop it,” Hero said, their voice barely audible and their eyes blinking heavily.
“Oh, I don’t think I will,” Villain whispered, “you need to sleep. I wonder what would happen if I just…”
Villain started to lightly massage Hero’s scalp, giving them gentle scratches all the way to the nape of their neck. Hero fought to keep their eyes open, but they shortly fluttered closed. Hero’s breathing became deep and even; they were fast asleep. Villain smiled. They leaned down and kissed Hero’s forehead lightly, careful not to wake them. They petted Hero’s hair for a few more minutes until they quietly got up and left the room. Hopefully, Hero would be more lucid when they woke up.
part 2
I so could have wished to have more back story with Trellis and Riva maybe even Layra. I wanted to know how the elves childhoods were especially how each characters family was so different. I definitely would have loved a book that was devoted to just the elves, to really see how their lives were and if the knew how bad the war really was or if they even knew about it.
Ikol too, how did he come to be? They semi mentioned other voices like himself. Are they all like him? Is he the worst of the group or are there more evil ones? Why does he seem to be the only one? In book 8 there are a bunch of different species saying that they're from all over and could be a galaxy or two away. But Ikol seems to be the only voice in these galaxies, being able to connect to all the stonekeepers. So where are the other voices, how far away are they, can they talk to the other stonekeepers or can only one voice talk to a stonekeepers?
So many questions and theories. I hope book 9 answers a few at least
If not I hope this rewrite can answer these questions
A question for my fellow Amulet fans:
What are subjects or concepts you wish were explored and delved deeper into in the books? What concepts or ideas do you think weren’t necessary, or shouldn’t have been as explored? As I am doing my rewrite I am considering shaving down the side-plot of Navin being a commander and all his mech-suit shenanigans down to a minimum. It may be my personal bias for fantasy over mecha ad sci-fi talking, but the side-plot for Navin never intrigued me nearly as much as the main plot with Emily, Trellis, and Vigo.
Thoughts?
