Juvia [that I] wanted to paint. (DeepL Translate)

“nem they barely look like their canon selves” self-care

please don’t tag as ship

I made this to participate in the Christmas Art comp for the official Yuumi Mains discord server!! It was tons of fun and If they ever release a christmas skin for Yuumi and give her a stupid christmas hat for her light, im gonna !!! riot 😠😠the bell and mistletoe is right there Rito!!!

other doodles added below:

She's so shaped. So. Kitty. SHE DESERVES THE WORLD!! RIOT DO HER JUSTICE COME ON !!

working on that sketch for good luck but I can't finish it properly because all the pictures of Jing Yuan don't show the sides I neeeeeeed T~T

I feel like I can express myself in to the void here. I mean no one really knows me here I don’t come here a lot. I originally started to draw an unpopular rarepair called reikasa here on tumblr before the jjk and sxf/being active on twt. The aot fandom got too much so I left about roughly ten months ago? Idk for sure. Anyway the point is it’s been a while. I recently drew a rkgk because I felt wee bit nostalgic and I reflected upon my feelings to the aot fandom (bitterness)

This was the first time I drew them in a long time. Since I stopped drawing aot. Not even 24 hours/a day later this happened.

(The Reiner pfp is my moot they were just saying “not even a day later”)

I reached a breaking point, lost my professionalism, cussed at nothingness to Elon musk, deleted everything out of impulse, claimed I’ll never return to aot and lost a lot of followers (because I said I’m not coming back).

The account appeared to be a burner and I do have suspicions on who did it. The burner no longer exists.

I’ve been a very emo and depressed egg. It’s been rough. Cried a lot lols. 🫠🥲

My stance still stands clear and strong. I’m not coming back.

yashio rui as filler ... i just got off of my midterms and i need something to . just . fill thr void that is my blog. and also because i feel like i havent drawn rui enough

this was different from what i'd do. i'd call this a rkgk buuuuttt i putted enough effort onto this

if youre willing to see me rant uhh see the cut below (or dont the more i look at it the more petty it looked OOPs)

ive been struggling to find a perfect moment to post art 💀 ive been on midterms and i still have more tests to pass coz im nearing my end year . im also clashing with my oc writings (?) which takes up to hours upon end...

i still have an artwork under progress and i'll hopefully have it finished before april but i was. just trying to keep this tumblr blog around before probably disappearing ... im also working on birthday stuff but i probably wont do much !?@!?!#, just a rimi bandori bday art seems enough coz i like her and i share a birthday with her

honestly i didnt even like this coz i didnt know how to add some extra colors. compared to the toukomashi art i did last time this was less expressive. meh. i'll have to find a way to squeeze in more colors to someone with dark hair like rui. mmm

"hoeddeok-rkgk: Oh wow that's why they shut down because of bad decisions involved with power creep, co-op/competitive / interaction player mode when it comes gacha gameplay. I've seen a good illustration + character designs but I particularly cannot play mobile games sadly."

Speaking as someone who has played them for many years and been involved in community around two of them, no one should be allowed to play mobile or gacha games.

But yeah, that's essentially it. Someone on Reddit who was closer to it during the fall talked about them implementing a new mode, making upgrades contingent upon being able to clear it, but clearing it revolved around like only the handful of brand new characters and even then was challenging so people just stopped playing. It honestly sounds like a great case study for "you can't just render everything irrelevant to drum up sales, people will just stop playing."

Of course, they also argued that it was because Nintendo did nothing to actually advertise the game so it never got much attention, but I personally consider that secondary. It was well known enough and have enough presence that people thought adding a Smash trophy around the game was reasonable. They weren't doing poorly on being known, they were doing poorly at being a game people want to play, and got greedy. They were a well-known game, but you know how it is with business and perpetual growth models. And I think Nintendo had an interview around its gachas a while back, talking about how it wasn't the money-making market they expected, and referencing that the only successful gachas they had involved known IPs with plenty of characters to draw from, referencing FEH as the only one that really had anything good going for it because of the roster. Don't think I could find it again if I tried, but it was a neat read.

Doujin anon here, i think i was confused about what "Doujin" means since i had presumed it had just meant "fan manga" for awhile. While thats technically true partially, upon looking at the definition again it could also apply into other mediums as well. Does this mean all of those mspa fanadventures technically count as doujinshi or no? Idk, i didn't even know the proper terminology of the word for awhile correct me if im wrong I'm not savvy with Japanese terms. Like the other anon said, i was one of those people who didn't know what Japanese people meant by "cp" like i knew it didn't have any relation to you know what, but due to the language barrier i couldn't figure it out on my own. Ex: rkgk means sketch right? should probably look into a guide about the Japanese abbreviations and definitions for this stuff.

In a way, yes. Doujin itself means a group of people who share a hobby or interest. It's their word for fandom. Not to be confused with circle, which means a group of people (or even an individual person itself), selling doujin works as a team. Though not all Japanese people on places like Pixiv tag fanarts, as doujin 同人 when they upload it. Doujin also refers to works that started out as original comics, games, and more sold in Comiket that soon became professional works. Things like Touhou or Higurashi started out as an original game that was sold in Comiket, blew up in popularity as time went on. You can even think doujin games sold at Comiket like the ones mentioned here, as indie games. RKGK is the abbreviation for rakugaki, which means doodle or scribble in Japanese. Japanese artists tag this when they drew the art as said doodle or scribble to pass the time that it's not considered as art pieces to them. Most of the time though, I think said doodles make a great art piece alone. If you try telling them that, they get embarrassed and try to be humble. But please give them praises to let them know they are amazing! I don't blame you on the language barrier thing. Eastern fandom culture is different from the Western. When Japan does consume Western media, they take it as it is, a fictional media work. Compared to Western, who would think works from the past that were made in its time period, is problematic and should never be brought up again. Japan would know about the dark histories for some, but they also believe the intent for similar themes or topics that would be shown for upcoming or future works, is not out of maliciousness most of the time. The past is past and they would rather move on. With some exceptions based on country's personal history, but that's a whole other can of worms. The Japanese fandom also tend to be only exclusive to themselves. The relation between Eastern and Western fandom were not on good terms back then due to things like people reuploading Pixiv art and putting Nico Nico Douga videos on sites like YouTube, without permission. They even have applications for private community groups to make sure the person they are speaking to is Japanese and not some Western using a translator to sneak in and do things like download MMD models before releasing them back into public. Recently, Pixiv states that whatever country you are in, some content will not be shown there, to comply with other country's laws such as Europe's. Sites like Twitter/X already are banning stuff that's fine in Japan in order to follow Western standards. It's why sites like Misskey state that Japanese customs and beliefs towards certain media is different from America and Europe. If these bad communications and censorship keep going on, it won't be long until Japan finally decides all their works will only be Japanese exclusive and isolate themselves again. To the point they might even see if Western users are might be using VPNs to sneak in and block them. We really got to acknowledge the different fandom customs and cultures in various countries and languages. A Spanish community fandom will be different from something in English speaking ones. Not all groups have dark intentions. Only speak up if a person or group starts to get harmed because of it. And I don't mean like getting offended over a drawing someone stumbled upon by accident. I mean like someone harming themselves or anything truly legal involved.

woe gator rkgks be upon ye ft a cat with anxiety.

coffee shop au!!! ☕️
