#I did it with great affection and that's why it took me so long to answer you!#so I hope you weren't sad or thought I wasn't going to answer you..#I already wanted to do that kinda of comic for a long time. like-#I had almost exactly come up with an entire idea with something like that pic/art before you sent me the ask!#I just needed a pic or an incentive to start tbh and so... yeah.#just because of you. I'm now happy to have put it into practice and completing one more item on my list of arts! <3#also thank you and know that I love you a lot. mike :]#(I know. it seems to be very small and easy to do but it was actually not easy at all..#because I did it first in just some small squares and then put it in this type of “three” to look like a comic.#but then to fit each one it was a little difficult and you can even see that it got a little “disproportionate” but anyway-#still i'm glad i did it and i feel proud for trying to do something like this :DD)#hey dear mike!!!#mike my beloved/p#mike manple#my platonic silly#sweet asks#asks#i'm mel and this is my blog✌️#my art blog#art#my art#art mel#my art style#c!mel loly#my oc character#c!melple#c!manple#my boyfriend oc#king duo#original comic

I’m fairly new to the fandom, but I do have a question if you can answer it! Why do people ship Daigo with Aoki / Masato? I tried looking to see if they’ve interacted before, but couldn’t find anything! Sorry for asking I’m just </3 dumb AND I LOVE YOUR ART OF THEM!!! Nerd looking ahhhhhh
hi ! welcome to the community i hope you're having a lovely time so far and ty for enjoyin my stuff :) no need for apologies it's a very fair question to have :]
i cant speak for everyone (all. ten people into masadai anyway) but Personally To Me i just think the idea of them together is very funny. thats quite literally it im afraid..
#snap chats#//twenty page google doc in the background// ignore that. it's mostly for comedic purposes#might also be my fault idk sorry about that. allegedly. idk ive had like three people tell me they started to ship them cause of me 🧍♂️#@mementoasts is another person who's drawn masadai and whose stuff i love and am inspod by .. i love their disneyland fic sm ...#there was another artist on twitter who posted a neat drawing of them but i cant remember who they were and i didnt bookmark it //screams//#recently there's been ANOTHER masadai artist ive started following on twitter - @wifekiryu. his account's n/s/f/w fyi before you go looking#he has a tumblr too @foxdies. i say cause i realized as much recently vjeaKLGJALKGJ#oh but I GUESS ill get deeper into why. /i/ personally ship masadai or whatever#first off they're opposing factions yet their character alignments Do Not Match their roles. stereotypically anyway#aoki who leads the 'surface' of society and is meant to be an admirable figure and someone 'just' when really. he sucks LMAO#though that's not atypical of politicians but just from a stereotypical This Is A Respectable Individual perspective of his role#daigo on the other hand leads the 'underbelly' of society- yk comprised of dangerous criminals and outcasts and whatnot#yet as we know him daigo's compassionate and considerate of his men- he doesnt treat them like tools like aoki does#if put in a room with the two daigo would be most people's choice of person to hang out with. probably open a trapdoor on aoki tbh#and i think thats really cool and epic i always love that kinda Subverting Expectations thing#theres also the fact they both started off like. edgy/angsty in the franchise and then brush up down the line#masato does a stronger 180. publicly. obviously but its still really funny they both have to get their act together#if you wanna talk about in-text reasons. there really is none LMAO I TELLS YOU masadai is pure crack#but if i wanted to pull a muscle reaching then there's daigo being on aoki's side while everyone else is on arakawa's during the funeral#im lying of course. mitsu was behind him. rgg tryna make me forget mitsu exist .... put him back in y8 ....#and ofc ichi joins that side to even out the seating but moving on another Goofy Reason is arakawa being like#'the chairman and my son are like p much the same age Surely he knows how he thinks :)'#and then i just think daigo being all smarmy about outsmarting aoki is really goofy and im choosing to interpret that as personal#they both also have issues with their dad. s. dad/s/. anyway.#tbh the google doc tag was a joke but i really could sit here and list every dumb reason why i think theyre funny together#like i started going over the tag limit so uhhhh yeah needless to say i have a lot of. dumb reasons 💀💀💀💀#one day ill use the main text for long rambles like this but todays not that day Point Is my imagination is rampant im afraid#so the short and sweet of it is I Think It's Funny. And They'd Be Terrible Together. Which Is Why It's Funny.#and the unfortunate part is anything i find funny i obsess over for a year so. //gestures to the mountain of bullshit thats my masadai tag/

I don't really know how to word it precisely but it goes beyond just "be nice to people you think are ugly/gross." I think more people need to like. Imagine someone with every trait that you think is ugly. Now learn to accept their fucking humanity anyway. Stop picking out new thresholds for "acceptable target" because there is NEVER an acceptable target, not even somebody who physically disgusts you on every level.
Whoever in your mind is acceptable to ethically bully or who "deserves" for bad things to happen to them because of a physical trait or two or several, it's not acceptable. This is not policing thought crimes or whatever this is just a basic principle of not being an asshole.
#I'm not going to start listing traits that people need to accept as ''not ugly'' because honestly that feels disgusting to me#people saying ''learn to be nice to people who [trait that I have]'' always makes me feel further from human and not closer tbh.#but like. you know who you think is ugly. Figure out why. Work on it.#This is NOT to say ''you have to find them sexually attractive'' this is just to say like.#Well exactly what it says.

Anyways I hope if y’all followed me for an F/O that wasn’t Kurt or D.raxum I apologize bc let’s be honest I very VERY rarely talk about my other F/Os ever.
#tbh I only keep my minor F/O list up bc I do have a soft spot for those characters#but honestly aside from Kurt and D.raxum? I don’t really talk about anyone!!#I MIGHT start talking about Wade (from the Sonic movies) more once the Knuckles show comes out#and sometimes I might talk about characters from my secondary list#but I’ll be honest Wade Sly Peach and then Vax/Keyleth are probably the ‘main’ secondary F/Os rn#then the Disney afternoon people are a whole ass different category#ALSO D.RAXUM WASN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE A MAIN F/O#IT WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A SILLY LITTLE CRUSH BUT THEN HIS REDEMPTION ARC HAPPENED#AND OH NOW HE’S JUST A GRUMPY MIDDLE AGED MAN WHO GOT DRAGGED INTO THE FOUND FAMILY AND ACTS LIKE HE DOESNT CARE BUT REALLY DOES#ALSO HE’S KIND OF PRETTY TO ME SO????#WHY DID HE BECOME MY MAIN F/O AND SUCH A BIG COMFORT CHARACTER LMAO#WHY DID HE PUSH KURT OFF THE NUMBER ONE SPOT#Kurt isn’t angry about it btw he knows I love him still

Oh yeah don’t dox yourself!! I hope it didn’t sound intrusive, I was just curious :)
You went to university for creative writing then? That’s cool!! I thought of doing that out of highschool but I’m in a gap year right now. I don’t think I can trust myself to write anything creative that I’m actually proud of in a structured setting (ik that sounds yikes, gotta get out of my wimp era eww). So I just watch free video lectures 😭 But do you recommend it?
Well, I hope you leave a door, but if not, your writing has still left me (and loads of ppl I’m sure) with a lot to think about regardless :)
Aww thank you, you're very sweet. And you weren't being intrusive at all! It's actually really nice to know that there's anyone out there who wants to see more of what I can do!
I actually didn't major in creative writing, but I did do a series of fiction writing workshops at my first college and an additional workshop at my transfer university. My transfer university had a creative writing contest and a literary journal, which is where I was published. So it's not the most prestigious achievement, but it is something under my belt, I guess.
Fiction writing workshops really are a mixed bag.
The best part of a workshop is how it forces you to get used to critiques, which is really valuable if you base your self-worth around being a good artist. There is no better way to separate your self worth from your art than having to get used to people talking smack about it. Plus, critiquing other writers helps you to develop the ability to read like a writer and self-edit yourself.
But none of the workshops I did taught me how to write. For reference, I did workshops both at a liberal arts school (which was a mistake) and at a state university (the course was framed as an intro course, but was really just a fun elective). All of the workshops technically had a lecture series for the first half of the class centered on learning the craft, but I didn't learn anything new from them.
Another issue with workshops is that the value of the critiques depends on how good the rest of your class is. In an intro class that is a fun elective at a state school, the critiques are pretty worthless. The critiques for the workshops at the liberal arts school were helpful, but you are also going to be up against self-proclaimed artistes who have the strangest and most pretentious "Golden Rules of Writing" you will ever hear.
Honestly, the best way to improve your writing is to just write and be critical of your own work. If you write consistently and are open to admitting where you are weak, you will get better. It certainly took me a long, long time to start feeling like I was good at writing, and I've been writing most every day since I was 13.
If you decide to go college and want to be involved in a workshop, skip the classes and see if there is a writing club on campus. The club will probably have an informal workshop where you can share and get critiques from people who have a passion for writing just like you do. If the club is anything like the one I went to, it'll be filled with people from a variety of disciplines who will have more valuable insight than any Artiste Writer can give you. Plus, you can make a lot of great friends.
#I also took a gap year between schools and honestly i wish i took a gap year before starting college#but yeah in summary:#1) do not go to a liberal arts college#2) you do not need to study creative writing to be good at writing#3) join a club of other writers#4) write every day#one day i will tell you all my fiction writing workshop horror stories like there really are some freaks out there in the world#((for reference: when I make fun of pretenious writing people i am making fun of myself; i studied english with a concentration in#technical writing and communication; i am extremely stuck up about books. like my xmas list this year was critical editions of classic lit#cause i like getting the historical context; the point is that i am in part making fun of myself))#((however i will relentlessly mock everyone and anyone for going to a liberal arts school like that is worthy of ridicule))#me rambling#ask#weetbixbb#also to get on my soapbox but the liberal arts school i went to killed my self confidence as a writer for a really long time#and also killed my confidence in my personality tbh but we won't get into that#like it's stark how cutthroat that enviroment was and who was designated as the Good Artists and why they were Good Artists

i think everyone should start actually looking at trigger warning lists before getting into something instead of simply watching said something and then complaining because those warnings you needed weren't spoon-fed to you by your dash.
#nothing happened btw lmao i'm just rambling#but i do remember someone once getting into something and going huh i didn't expect this to have this level of violence#and tbh i did watch the same thing and i didn't find its violence triggering at all#which is one of the reasons why people truly need to start looking for and reading trigger warning lists themselves#not everyone has the same triggers. and not everyone will find x level of whatever thing triggering#with all of this i mean that you all really need to start learning to look after yourselves#mona.txt

May this year bring us an abundance of fulfillment, achieved desires and comfort. 🖤
#dadbots.txt#officially in 2024… hard to believe that tbh. But it’s here. And hope for better things to come our way.#I plan on committing myself to some planned goals and ideas to work on. Including devoting myself into my craft again -#- and explore other fields as it is a big part of my life. With so much happening and being overwhelmed caused the focus to shift.#And I truly want to put my attention onto things that helped me. Made me happy. That’s important to me overall.#This year will be aimed towards completions. Anything that’s been held off and sitting in a backlog. That I should’ve and wished to do.#Things I need to do. Whatever — I want to complete them and knock ‘em off my list. There’s so much to go through and it’s tiring -#- when you see piles that you swept under the rug. But that’s why I’m working on completing them and have a clean slate to work on again.#Won’t break chronic procrastination. But it’ll get me doing something. Little by little.#And will reduce the blow for my fatigue. In general for anything really. And this definitely isn’t some ‘new year new me’ mantra that ends#- in a couple of days. A whole year dedicated to what’s important is good enough for me. Of course you can start whenever and at any time.#But I consider this a journey. Means I have to show something for the month. And with so many changes made in 2023 — it’s possible. :)#I hope y’all have a wonderful year and have blessings flowing our way. 🤞🏽🖤

ok the concert and recital schedule has been announced... orchestra has managed to dodge my rage by only very narrowly avoiding putting a performance during yom kippur this year
#we have a performance on 9/24 BUT it's at 2pm (since when do we do 2pm concerts?) and yom kippur doesn't actually start until sundown#they're fuckin lucky abt that i know their asses didn't look at a hebrew calendar before scheduling#and we've had performances on the HHDs before. lol#sasha speaks#anyway why do we only have like two chamber orch concerts listed on the schedule?#we normally do a chamber orch concert to start the semester and then a bigger program later in the semester#but the schedule only lists our chamber orch concerts and the xmas concert#maybe the assumption is we'll be playing more of the theater shows so we'll be giving fewer of our own concerts?#or maybe they've just left things off the schedule which would not be unexpected for this fucking school tbh#i wanna talk about me#maybe we're playing with the lacm more this year...?

so, turns out the best cure for being depressed, overworked and uninspired really is working less, spending time with friends, and consuming media you actually like.
#finally i feel like writing again#i've seen the dnd movie yesterday with my friends it was great#really inspiring#i've been reading lots of books lately.#tbh mostly of chinese origin hence why i started learning mandarin#but i like it#though i'm also reading up more on slavic myths and tarot#i've also been rewatching charmed with ali it's great#i wanna go over my muse list. remove some add others#i will do that today#tbh i'm still overworked and stressed but it's better when i actually take care of myself#a little more.#and we're going on a dnd weekend trip in may soon so.#it's gonna be awesome.#i can't really slack at work because i'm in management position but i've been getting better at like#time management#also i'm about to get properly diagnosed and it's more than likely i do actually have adhd#so.#progress ^^

i think if i dropped off the face of the planet no one would even notice
#not to act like an Angsty Teen(tm) but. lol#tbh this isnt just depression talking i have like. a whole list of evidence#even on good days i know this. no one really cares about me. a couple people might passively enjoy my company but i don't mean anything#when people try to convince me that's not true it literally feels like (actual definition) gaslighting. like theyre telling me#that the reality i'm experiencing is all in my head and i just need to go to therapy or whatever to fix it#and that's. not true. people don't like me. i don't know why because i try so fucking hard to be friendly and include people in things#and inevitably without fail they just#stop caring about me. they even start hating me. and they always lie about it and quietly hold grudges until it explodes and#the relationship is destroyed because they didnt see me as /worth/ talking things through with and i DON'T KNOW WHY
