Man I wanna post nakey artwork

[shiirojasmine]

OH MY GOD i’m so sorry to pop in here with so much energy but i had to stop by because ive been looking for your art for literal Years. i used to be very into yugioh, and i was on tumblr for a good bit of it, and i remember falling in love with the way you drew the boys. You were my favorite artist in the fandom and it inspired quite a bit of my art at the time (even now when i look at my preferences for soft texture brushes shdkfjdk)

anyways, i lost my old account a couple years ago and along with it, many reblogs and likes from that time in my life. and i didn’t quite know to miss it (i hadn’t been in the fandom for a while by that point), but i remember thinking about a mer au for a different fandom, and remembering the most awe inspiring piece i had seen who Knows how long ago. i only remembered the fact that it was for yugioh, yami was part octopus, it had some Gorgeous ocean hues, i loved the hair, and the poses of the two characters. and once it got in my head i started looking for it. tumblr’s search functions are awful, and i couldn’t find it, but i kept trying every couple months, trying to remember tags i could go through or going thru yugioh art blogs on the chance that i would see the artist that inspired me so long ago. I looked up sao (i thought i remembered a comic? related to it on the same blog but it was a long shot at Best) i tried looking through yugioh daily updated blogs until those stopped being as common, scrolling through every yugioh tag imaginable. it was frankly borderline impossible given my memory of the actual image was shaky at best, and i had no doubt that after years your artstyle would have evolved through practice, and i was afraid that i wouldn’t recognize any new works even if i happened across them.

I know it’s out of the blue and most likely just a long ass anon msg to you but i just had to come by and say that i finally found where it came from (you)!! and im so happy to have found it, ive actually been looking for Years, my memory isn’t the greatest but there’s no way it hasn’t been 4 or 5 years at Least by now. and its just as beautiful as i remember. (if you happen to have read this: if you ever have prints i would cry to be able to actually buy a copy)

i rlly just wanted to let you know that your art is beautiful (it’s not even scratching the Surface of it really), and it really did have such an effect on me as a growing artist. it most likely doesn’t mean much being just words shdkfjkd but thank you so much. i’m so so so happy to be able to look at the art and remember and really appreciate how lovely your works are with more experienced eyes.

that’s enough out of me, i hope you have a lovely week, and truly from the bottom of my heart: thank you

thank you very much for the kind message, i'm sorry i didn't see it sooner! i'm not on tumblr very often these days, but i appreciated reading this very much.

my time in the ygo fandom was definitely one of my favorite and most exciting times for me art-wise! i really enjoyed experimenting a lot with my favorite ships. i think i know the piece you're talking about, i remember being extra excited to paint it because krita was finally working semi-properly on my old macbook at the time. (i never liked photoshop, and while clip studio paint was fantastic, there's something extra delicious about a free but excellent painting app you know?)

i unfortunately don't have any art prints to sell, but i'm more than okay with people printing to keep at home haha

Yugi "what are you talking about?"

Atem "Sometimes I worry I'm a hindrance, that your life would be better without me. That I'm only dragging you down and that someday you'll grow tired once you realize I'm not that special."

Yugi "Oh, other me no, my life is only improved having you there. I'm so grateful to know you, to get to be beside you. I'm so proud of you"

Kinda wish ppl would stop putting fics where A and B hate each other in the shipping tags just bc u want the foot traffic you’ll think u get from the ship name

Like I come here for sexy hot emotional development (and sometimes just plain smut), stop fucking giving me platonic hatred!!!

[shiirojasmine]

Man I’m sick of kids calling everything that’s not gonna be canon a fucking crack ship

Like stfu

Goofy/all might is a crack ship

Two weirdos in whatever story that have had actual scenes together are not a crack ship no matter how unlikely it is for them to ever get together!!

My god my girlies

MY GIRLIES. I am still crying, I am still crying about this. Every day I cry about this.

You bitched so hard about being forced to read 1984 in school when it’s so problematic (tm)

Maybe you should have actually paid attention when you read it

Because all these AI fics

You are LITERALLY MAKING THE GARBAGE NOVELS FROM 1984 that are written by machines

You have literally recreated the worthless soulless machine-made books

Literally,

Literally. Every once in a while it hits me in a fresh wave of disbelief and anger. You have literally created the dystopian book from the dystopian story about why dystopia is bad, and you are passing it around like it’s this amazing thing. I’m crying, I’m crying.

Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and all endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

baffling how much of this site is just conservative protestantism with a gay hat

Please don’t let fandom ruin something you love. Walk away and unfollow the fans and enjoy the thing by yourself, or find a limited circle of people who ignore the discourse, or get your irl friends into the thing and collectively ignore the Internet community, or blacklist from here to the moon if you need to and only ever scroll through your rarepair ship’s tag on AO3. But don’t let fandom distort a show or a movie or a book or a comic you used to love so badly that you can’t enjoy the original anymore. Please. It isn’t worth it.
