Bro, people on TikTok keep saying that they're “nostalgic for the old days of Welcome Home!” and that “Welcome Home was dead but it's coming back now!”

Like dude, Welcome Home has been here for a little less than a year, there's nothing to be nostalgic about, at least not YET.

Fucking hell man, I feel like a Boomer trying to talk to some Gen Alpha kids, they're all thinking that fandoms are suppose to be short-lived, jesus christ.

I don’t blame them too much, since they are not quite used to fandoms naturally descending and are quick to panic that it’s “completely dead”

Specially since the fandom had such a huge flux of community, art and discussions happening everywhere all at once and for it to slowly die down- naturally people will move on to other things and opinions are bound to change while the younger more naive individuals will wonder what’s wrong and create general assumptions that are not entirely accurate

I know we all talking about bi buck right now but can I just say that I hope we'll see ravi begins soon??

aaaaa how do you draw muzzles so good!? I can never get muzzles to look right :<

(Sorry for how long it took me to respond to this ;;;)

They're definitely tricky! For me, I sorta just studied how different artists I like draw muzzles to get to where I am - don't be afraid to do some studies of your own! Owlspark over on Twitter has made a pretty handy guide on how they draw their style, which includes muzzles along with face structure and limbs if you'd like to take a look!

I unfortunately don't really know what else to say ;;; My best advice for this sorta stuff is just to practice! Practice with a goal in mind, and as you meet the goals you've set, you'll find new things to try, practice, and learn in turn.

Possible entry points for DMBJ fanworks

Wanting to try enjoying DMBJ fanworks, but don't know where to start - especially if you aren't very familiar with canon? Here are some popular ships/characters that have a fair number of works to give you a decent starting place to sink your teeth into. I strongly recommend branching out from these as you become more familiar with the characters and world, as one of the strengths of DMBJ fanworks is the popularity of rarepairs, polyships, gen, aro/ace relationships, and the wealth of interesting canon characters to explore.

Note that this guide is specific to works representation in the English-language fandom, and that other ships/characters are more or less popular in the Chinese-language fandom.

I enjoy angsty ships where the characters will sacrifice everything and burn the world down to protect each other. You might enjoy fics featuring PingXie (Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling). Zhang Qiling is a silent, amnesiac, near-mythical immortal warrior with little connection with the world and a tragic, whumpy past. Wu Xie is an everyman clever-but-naive tomb-raiding-mob-family heir who gradually becomes hardened and ruthless to save those he loves. They are two of the main characters of the canon and this is the largest fanon ship.

I enjoy the above, but think it would be even better with the addition of a strong-but-ordinary person who acts as the rock for the others to anchor to: You might enjoy PingPangXie (Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling or Wang Pangzi & Wu Xie & Zhang Qiling). Wang Pangzi is the third main character of the canon, an older tomb raider with a boisterously violent but deeply caring nature. This threesome is popular as both a romantic and nonromantic combination.

I enjoy power couples, banter, and an underlying thread of existential tragedy in a ship that manages to have UST even while actively having sex: You might enjoy HeiHua (Hei Xiazi/Xie Yuchen). Xie Yuchen (also known as Xiao Hua) is a tomb-raiding mob boss whose ruthlessness and tightly controlled power hides abandonment issues and a deep need to protect those he loves. Hei Xiazi is an immortal mercenary whose raccoon-gremlin clowning covers the underlying tragedy of his existence. They are secondary characters who appear regularly throughout the various canon series.

Shipping is okay, but I really enjoy gen fics with lots of hurt/comfort and found family vibes: You might enjoy fics featuring Liu Sang, a bitchy whump magnet with super hearing and a tragic past. Despite being a fan favorite in English-language works, Liu Sang is a secondary character who only appears in one canon series and a couple of spinoff movies.

I am interested in the above, but would like additional romance: You might enjoy some of the many Liu Sang ships, of which the biggest is probably PingXieSang (Liu Sang/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling). If you like sunshine puppy + hissy bitch ships, you might enjoy KanSang (Kan Jian/Liu Sang). Kan Jian is a secondary character in a couple of adaptations, an expert marksman noted for his strength of bicep and himbo-ness of brain.

Again, there are many more amazing relationships represented in DMBJ fanworks, including other characters and/or other combinations of the above, and I strongly recommend branching out from here to other characters and ships as you learn more about the world, but if you are just putting your toe into the DMBJ ocean, these can be bigger islands to start out from!

transmasc culture is when ure not sure whether u want to be a boy or not bc having a male body sounds way better but then u have to suffer from societal expectations of men ure not ready to deal w

i think being a boy will make me feel happier w myself; but fuck the gender roles & stereotypes

transmasc culture is!

me when i ship zhaohan 😔 there's next to no content unless i'm just not looking in the right spots

be the change you want to see in the world my man.... if i can trick people into thinking masadai is real then i know you can rally the troupes with them lovable goobers......

your journal pics have inspired me to create my own :) so excited to start

that's wonderful to hear !!!! im so happy i could inspire anyone to do anything !!!! let alone aomething i felt was really beneficial to me and my memory.

a lot of my entries are Really rough looking and the reason im so behind on them is because I wasn't happy with how they were looking but in the long run Alhamdulillah it worked out bc I was freshly inspired.

idk if you'd want or need any advice but I'd say have a strictly informative journal just like in your phone notes app so you can have a pretty physical one. when I want to recall something i read in June 2021 the first place is check is my phone not this book but that's just how I use it, you could be different. I have another physical notebook I take everywhere with me that had my cinema tickets, to do lists, thoughts, appointments, passwords, doodles etc in it and the inside of that is UGLY !!!! but I value greatly and the second its all used up I'll get another one.

other than that the way you want to do it and the things you want to keep record of is entirely up to your preferences and if you ever wish to share it online or personally i would love to see it ❣️best of luck and thank you so much for letting me know this really made my day :))))

"The value of Life is negative. The balance of being is rotated by 38 degrees. The surface is full of cracks, a turgid light shines through. Fleshy primordial bodies sluggishly roll down the slope. Only you slide upwards, with a celestial step. You become beautified, a saintly figure. Your pristine idiocy reveals a safe path through the impenetrable fog of Life. Your dull sword cuts through the weak tendons and membranes of the garden of corruption. Sit on the throne of contentment and ferment. Inspect the eternal blue skies of your kingdom. You come to a realization. You pick up an onion and begin peeling."

Joker wishing you good luck!

I'm too afraid to start the pokemas alola arc....... tbf I haven't played any of them since johto bc I'm too nervous but kalos and alola absolutely make me the most nervous... what if they massacre my faves....... or what if they don't and they turn to the camera and point at me specifically and say that I'm absolutely destroying their characterizations

can I get some good luck or encouragement to come out? it's been eating away at me, and I need to come out to my parents at some point. my safety is not an issue and I want to do it, I need to get some irl affirmation in my gender

I hope you can come out when you're ready! It can be really daunting, but it's something I really believe in you about! Just know no matter what, you are divine. I'm sending you my best wishes for your coming out, and I really do hope it goes well!

Sup fuckers Im 2

Listen, I have probably only intentionally listened to a KPop song like twice in my life but KPop fans are everything to me. I am a KPop-stan stan first and a human second. KPop stans you will always be famous.

Hmmm I think maybe SSG should consider making the Treasure Bugan spawn only once per day in a given instance for a given player, because almost all day I've been loading up Chamber of Shadows, running it to the Bugan, which takes I want to say maybe 75 seconds?, taking out the Bugan, then leaving the instance (ignoring Monologue McMonologeyface), running a mission to reset it, rinse and repeat all day long, and with a 75% spawn rate it has been extremely profitable.

Headaches are objectively awful for a lot of reasons, but the worst one is that the best way to cure them (or at least the bad ones I get) is to lay in a dark room for hours on end with literally nothing (maybe quiet white noise, as a treat) but of course my brain would rather die than do nothing and be quiet so I wind up just having to suffer and do things that make my headache actively worse until I either feel like crying from the pain or like throwing up in which case I then I have to stop and take a break and maybe sleep until it gets a little better, rinse and repeat until the headache goes away or I finally fall asleep for the whole night.
