hey so i haven't been on tumblr in years and just happened by this post as i was digging into the sonic artist situation :( i'm just here to give my 2 cents!!
although i am not one to witch hunt or send the original artist hate, i will say that from the eyes of a full time anime artist, that shio artist's art looks like AI paintovers T_T i do not condone sending the original artist hate or death threats, and i prefer to discuss these matters in private in discord servers with other working artists like me. this is the only time i am opening up the conversation to the public because i feel like i really have to say something and show some extra proof T_T
along with things that don't make sense in their drawings, an older drawing they did of ragatha has a very obviously ai-generated mess of a crown. there are other big artists calling them out right now for using ai to help with their art. i don't believe it's fully ai generated, as there are a lot of artists currently who us AI as a base and paintover/do a very thorough clean up so their own artist skills are incorporated into it. it is very clear to me as an artist the line weights on their cream the rabbit drawing is traced over ai
here is a zoomed in ai pic i found on pinterest to show people how AI likes to generate line weight. when i compare the two, i really do feel that shio has used AI as an assistance. again, i do believe they can draw, but i also believe they are using AI.
using an AI checker on drawings that are painted over and compiled into 1 image will screw over the ai checker. but some people have cropped out certain parts of their drawing and checked it with an ai checker, and this was the result. although i don't believe 'wasitai' is always right, it could mean something.
if you zoom in, note the random second cord of the mic that comes out randomly out of the hand, changes colour, and blends in with pomni's dress. and it's weirdly thin at points too. these are other drawings the same artist has done.
are the ears just pinned back? or are they just gone completely?
other big artists have noticed it too as seen here.
the reason i feel like i have to speak up is because ai has really affected me and my friends' livelihood this year. i depend on art as my income 100% as i travel from convention to convention in north america to sell my artwork. so for many of us, we've pretty much trained our eyes to be able to tell ai art right away as many ai bros have taken over artist alley, making it so that we are fighting for table spots with people who don't draw anything they sell at their table.
i know i am pretty much a nobody here on tumblr but i do hope people hear me out. my actual art instagram and blueksy accs are here (https://www.instagram.com/claudiacxw https://bsky.app/profile/claudiacxw.bsky.social) if you wanted to discuss with me!!

Being an artist on Twitter is unsustainable because a quote retweet accusing an artist of using AI will get more likes per view than the actual art.

Well hello there (redacted*)! How nice of you to drop by. I'd offer you a cup of tea, but...
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1a928219db3e89d7c4709b6acaebf43b/3f969a148d2bd862-fa/s540x810/dd37d0b3a4e985cc5c9a277776b7dece0f396ec6.jpg)
Me and my Lukola friends are too blind to find anything in the kitchen!
And while I'm paying attention to you (redacted)... did you not read the article that Nicola posted yesterday? Did you not take the hint that she was admonishing trolls and online bully behaviour? You know; behaviour that looks suspiciously like your message (above) to me? Perhaps you have eyesight issues too. Yes. Yes, I think you do.
As for me...
I'm simply following the clues that a possibly pregnant women has left for me and my friends. In fact her clues are more easily readable than brail.
Now; about this so called "launch" you speak of? Give me a break. Even through the haze of my cataracts I was able to see that her post for Jake the other day was lame. She didn't even tag him.
Let's compare her untagged "love" post to Jake with the HBD wishes she's posted on her IG stories for her other friends:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/71395e9470c98d6c8f65d00a3cc67b2d/3f969a148d2bd862-0d/s640x960/51c36a63f4b1d17582a0c538f45d0896c6cbabda.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4a94515dfad2abc79d02776cdf860472/3f969a148d2bd862-41/s640x960/743bd0aa9c572c8e617fc5311bf41f2d17ff7179.jpg)
She shares a photo of Jake next to the trash can; a photo that doesn't even include her IN it. Surly Nicola has better photos of "the love of her life" on her phone?! Let's compare with how she wishes her very good friend Jack Rooke a happy birthday. So sweet! And tagged.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/71395e9470c98d6c8f65d00a3cc67b2d/3f969a148d2bd862-0d/s640x960/51c36a63f4b1d17582a0c538f45d0896c6cbabda.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d1995b60bdcce13aff30e62d8bfede08/3f969a148d2bd862-19/s640x960/84c93471f1ee99ef203c9b1f1ff577756c8eb41a.jpg)
When Nicola wished Luke Fetherston a happy birthday she not only shared a photo with both of them in it, she also gave him THREE red hearts! Now that's hard launch material right there!! Oh. And he was tagged.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/71395e9470c98d6c8f65d00a3cc67b2d/3f969a148d2bd862-0d/s640x960/51c36a63f4b1d17582a0c538f45d0896c6cbabda.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5614eff4bc74ff47faf96c2244eed068/3f969a148d2bd862-94/s540x810/9837962cd98122a29b6ea2f2b857fc1b721cb259.jpg)
Nicola even gave more birthday love to Valentina, Camilla's dog, than she did to Jake. Sadly Valentina wasn't tagged either... although Camilla was 🥰 BUT, Nicola called Valentina a princess!
Don't worry. Jake's friend Hannah gave him this honourific, so he wasn't left out of the princess fairytale. It must be love!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/161b8e4a327ad0321cb2ad4fcba547c4/3f969a148d2bd862-92/s640x960/d75e0998e3c69519de65af19af3a70ec06705bdf.jpg)
But wait... there's competition for Jake's love!!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2ca605f102ad7682799bb988f27bbcd0/3f969a148d2bd862-6c/s640x960/bd0f9448b1b57691ebcbdfdf6a7e8ef0024632db.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b3e19d3723d5196d2cd225779b1bf900/3f969a148d2bd862-bd/s640x960/baca1396aaea8389623d4299771f4525ca901c89.jpg)
Now these are romantic birthday wishes to Jake, posted by Doug and Dylan the other day.
Clearly the man is loved by his friends. Deservedly so, I'm sure.
But I really, really, really question whether THIS was a hard launch?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/71395e9470c98d6c8f65d00a3cc67b2d/3f969a148d2bd862-0d/s640x960/51c36a63f4b1d17582a0c538f45d0896c6cbabda.jpg)
Seems to me it was simply a birthday wish for her friend (not lover) Jake. Unfortunately she posted at 6:30am when she was half awake and neglected to tag him. Unlike her spelling-mistake story showing the billboard in Los Angeles, she didn't delete and repost Jake's birthday wish with the missing tag. I guess Luke and Bridgerton's ensemble cast nomination warranted a correctly spelled "Surprise". Deleted; replaced.
Now I ask you; am I really blind? I saw well enough to compile the photos above and make perfect sense of them. I don't see a love-launch of Jake. I see a man living his life, preparing for an amazing lead theatre role. What an opportunity! I also see a man that didn't spend time with Nicola over Christmas, New Years, her birthday, his birthday (according to her, she was in LA. Sure Jan), and today: Valentine's Day. I also see a man who is loved by his friends. Nicola is his friend.
Unless I'm missing something?
So (redacted*)... rather than come over here and rag on the truth I and my Lukola friends see - and that I shared above - why don't you and your little weiner-dog leader fuck the hell off. We know.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e1a5775922d22f0c85cbb3e2178cba7d/3f969a148d2bd862-0a/s540x810/5da7b2a7fd26b86d3883340aef280c15339f5dfa.jpg)
P.S. I'm tempted to create some merch for us blind Lukolas! Sarcastic t-shirts and sweatshirt merch is fun 💙 Want one?!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/44b7f146eccca5767cecd9de8185dc6b/3f969a148d2bd862-a1/s540x810/951d8904343eaa9819b6d2ee85be57bcb2a16af7.jpg)
P.S.S. I've redacted the name of this poster because 10 hours after she sent this message to me, she recalled it... just before I was about to post this response. I could have scrapped my post, but she challenged me to SEE the truth. I wanted to oblige. I've redacted her name on the chance that she realized she didn't message me anonymously and so she chickened out and pulled her ask. Or perhaps she thought about Nicola's troll/bully post from yesterday and thought better of her action. Let's give her grace and assume that she came to her senses and not that she's too chicken shit to have her name out there along with her bully behaviour.
Aanin friends!

I usually don't talk too much about it cuz it's kinda an awful trope to be honest, but, I was seeing this so much lately, and I just can't with this-
The amount of people who think Dick has had many partners and is a playboy when many of the women (and some men) they use as examples are women who have kissed or touched him WITHOUT his consent is... It's horrible.
I don't know why people think it's normal or a "reward" that so many people have crossed Dick's boundaries just because they tend to portray these people as visually attractive.
Today I just saw a compilation of this kind of situations, and there were 35 photos, and many more were missing. Each image was more uncomfortable than the last.
TW: I'll post some of the comic panels on this topic, they get progressively more uncomfortable, it's nothing that explicit, but still.

In the photos you can see the @ of the account where I got the panels from.
There are many more (like Catalina or Liu panels), that are even more explicit situations, but I think this gets the point across.
I saw people trying to justify Dick being a playboy by saying that maybe he hypersexualizes himself in response to trauma (a real response, it can happen), but this would make more sense if the authors did it on purpose and with that intention, but that is not the case. They don't sexualize Dick's character to give depth to his trauma, they barely even talk about it AT ALL.
So that definitely doesn't excuse it, at least not as a justification from the authors, now if they use it as HC it makes more sense, but only thanks to the fans' interpretation. If it were entirely up to the authors, there is no reason for Dick to be sexualized, not beyond fanservice.
And I hate it.
It's very different to create a sexy character than to sexualize them to the point of objectification.

ok with the joke post today that referenced the ol' DA kink!meme cullen tiddy fic. it is abundantly clear that so much fandom history is just... lost or unknown to people who have gotten into the series after 2017. Like, you have to understand that while that fic was a bit of a meme for a week or so, it was not even close to the most outlandish thing on the board or the weirdest kink there. it just got more notice than others that spilled over to tumblr.
2015 was BEFORE the big sweeping purity movements really got a hold on people in fandom. people were allowed to be WEIRD, both as crack but also treating it seriously. it was an anonymous forum, which was also key here--there was no linking the posts back to someone's AO3 or tumblr unless they wanted to. And that meant prompts and fills both got wildly more creative than a lot of things i see now (though to be clear: there are absolutely still people writing wild & unhinged things for every fandom, and posting them happily to AO3. it's just a smaller percentage than it used to be).
the kink!meme had such insane variety but in part that was also because it was a designated positive space. writing quality varied WILDLY but the community held much closer to "don't like, don't read/comment" than AO3 does in 2025. and because people felt like they could experiment, it led not only to fun/funny situations with characters, but also some honestly moving and very beautiful writing as well.
and i do mean the porn as well as the 'serious' fics that ended up there. i think actually it was really good for fandom to have people who'd read through these prompt lists not just looking for pairings or tags they shared interest in, but ones they might not but felt like exploring anyway. being able to take a kink or a character you don't personally love and taking it apart and asking "what makes this compelling? why are people interested in this vs something else? what about this character and this setup can lead not only to something sexy but something profound?" is both good as a writing exercise (targeting an audience besides yourself) and a personal one (seeing the world through someone else's view). it was fun! and i think we should bring it back.
maybe later this weekend I'll go dig up some of the ones I remember most--both the fun/funny unhinged stuff AND the serious ones--and make a little compilation. do people who weren't on the kink!meme even know about the inquisitor x skyhold fic. or the one where quiz fucks a rift. or the one that's DA2 from Orana's perspective that was so beautiful and moving I could never replay DA2 without thinking about it again.
so anyway yeah. you should check out the archive. go dig around (click through the "part [#]" links below each game title and go through the pages however you like) and find somehing fun or beautiful or sexy.
#ramblings#dragon age#dragon age kink meme#da kink!meme#dragon age kink!meme#writing#a lot of my favorites did make it to ao3 but listen sometimes its way more fun to go poke around at random#than to do tailored searches that only give you what you went in looking for#AND AS ALWAYS: if you dont like the concept? just move on. and no one ever needs to hear more#'jade do you keep chattering about the k!meme and how fun wrting on it was becuase you're avoiding editing fic again' AND WHAT OF IT#on the k!meme you didnt GET to edit. you just posted it and if it had errors god help you cope. that was it.#anyway what if we make our own fill-a-thon. to celebrate

"how odd i can have all this inside me and to you its just words" - david foster wallace
"you will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. you will never live if you're looking for the meaning of life" - albert camus
#all of these are from books/authors alex has explicitly mentioned being a fan of#god i wish he talked more about what he reads because i find the books and authors people are drawn to fascinating#it's such an insight into someone's psyche#then again maybe that's why he doesn't talk about it a lot - the books you love are quite a personal thing#but yeah#having read a few things i just thought i'd compile a little selection of quotes from his favourite books/authors that#idk - stuck out to me as being very alex#and it's safe to safe i have well and truly destroyed my own heart in the process#i also now absolutely have to read despair by vladimir nabokov#it's one of his that i haven't read but i had a little flick through it and oh my god i can totally see why alex is so into it#this list was almost entirely just quotes from that book#there are SO MANY that are just painfully alex#(in my mind anyway)#anyway#enough rambling from me#i might have to do a part two of this at some point#alex turner#arctic monkeys#lulu posts

[Image Description: Two unfinished digital paintings / sketches of the hatchling and Hal from outer wilds. they are standing with their arms around each other and the hatchling has their head leaning on hal's shoulder as hal watches the supernova in the distance through the doorway of the museum. the first image is the scene viewed from behind with everything lit in bright blue with dark shadows. the second image shows hal's face looking in fear towards the light and is only partially colored, the rest sketched over a gray background.

Uh-oh! You are like, SOOO awkward!!
You're so awkward that it is occasionally mildly uncomfortable for people!
You're so awkward that sometimes people are confused by you and then there are awkward silences!
You're so awkward ...... that ultimately no one is harmed!!
Oh damn!!! What a vile crime you have committed! What an unforgivable thing it is to make a fellow human briefly confused!
Why, if *I* were ever briefly confused and kind of uncomfortable as a result, I'd be devastated.... by the absolute net zero change in my happiness and health! - From which I might never recover!! Yes indeed! No punishment can ever be enough for you!!
So you better absolutely hate yourself for it.
Better be SO MEAN to yourself about every single missed social cue so you don't forget your horrible crime! Meaner than you'd ever dream of being to someone else for the same thing! This is YOUR responsibility!
You need to show the world that you KNOW you are bad by punishing yourself constantly! After all, think of all the people who BENEFIT from you punishing yourself! - No, really! Think about it! Think about who benefits from your pain.
Think of alllllll the definitely-good people that your definitely-necessary self-torment definitely helps! I mean, you can't just cut off their definitely-life-sustaining supply of your suffering, right?? Sure, everyone else has a breaking point, but you're probably the only person in human history who doesn't, right? Best not to question it probably. Sure, it's a symptom that billions of people with trauma have had, but who knows? You could be a one-in-seven-billion exception. Anything's possible!
Instead, better just accept that idea that bullies carry like guns in holsters - the idea that people who have trouble with social cues deserve to suffer. Better carry on the burden they placed on you until you drop. Aid the cause of the callous by enforcing shame and suffering upon yourself extra hard; try your best to do their work for them. They're very busy.
Better not recognize that you need patience and kindness to heal from your trauma. Better not find out that it was trauma rather than personal weakness filling your head with self-hating thoughts. Better not find out it wasn't your fault.
Better not find out that awkwardness is not inherently harmful or unkind, and, in fact, the people who act like it is *are the ones enacting harm and being cruel.*
Better not get righteously angry when you realize just how much unnecessary damage this has done to you. After all, if you get mad, you might realize you deserve better. You might even feel brave enough to DEMAND better! You might build boundaries that keep you safe! You might make other people think they deserve to feel safe too! And we obviously can't be having that, so...
Better not show yourself even a little kindness a little bit at a time.
Better not make a habit out of it after all that practice.
Better not get confident.
Especially if you can't first wipe out every trace of awkward. (And you probably never will. Because people who experience absolute social certainty at all times tend to be insufferable assholes that enforce the status quo. And you just don't have the stock portfolio for that.)
Better not be confident and awkward because then you might confuse and delight people
- you might accidentally end up making other people feel less shame for their social difficulties
- you might make isolated, traumatized, and shy people feel like they deserve to be included in social situations
- you might even make them feel they can be themselves around you
- you might start loving the effect you have on a room
- you might enjoy conversations more
- you might forgive yourself and bounce back from shame more easily and frequently
- you might come to enjoy some of those moments of harmless confusion you cause because NOBODY expects the Confident Awkward, and that can genuinely be an advantage in social situations
- you might stop apologizing so much.
- you might find that socializing is like a video game: it requires practice but also a safe space for it to be fun and positive.
Or if you can't become assertive and confident, better not remain awkward and shy and quiet, and then love and forgive yourself anyway!
Why, it would be carnage!!
In either scenario, you run the risk of finding out that it's not your fault that safe spaces full of kind people can be really hard to find, create, and nurture. You could end up building a skillset that helps you do those things if you're not careful!
If you start giving yourself even the tiniest amount of grace at a time, you will find that you've accessed a gateway drug with extreme long-term side effects:
- You might realize that it was never your fault that it took so long to like yourself.
- You might realize that you were always worth talking to, even when you didn't like yourself and communication felt impossibly difficult.
- You might realize that you'll still be worth talking to even if communication becomes harder as you age and/or experience disability.
- You might come to know that you deserve to be heard even on bad days when words come slow and blurry.
You might discover that you were always deserving of kindness, first and foremost from yourself.
So. As you can see, it's FAR too much of a risk to start granting your awkward self free pardons for your many heinous and harmless crimes. Better to just leave it there.
#social skills#i have a few posts now in my ' social skills' tag#original#maybe eventually I will compile them and polish them in some meaningful way. I know what I want to call the book title#in big text it'll say 'I'M AUTISTIC' and then beneath that in smaller text 'And I Have Better Social Skills Than You'#or something to that effect. and the cover of the book will be me making an exaggerated smug face like the little rascal I am#challenging the viewer to pick up the book and see if they can prove me wrong.#and then the entire first section of the book is about how actually the issue with our society's social skills is the harsh judgment#for people who have trouble communicating and not the other way around. I don't actually think I'm the#most charismatic person in the world by a very long shot. but i do know that I have put more thought into my social skills than#most allistic people and frankly i have surpassed most of them. not because i am more persuasive or smooth or funny#(tho i am persuasive and funny lol) but bc i have questioned which social functions are more restriction than utility.#and instead i have focused my energy on actively learning how to make people feel safe. i feel social rules would benefit all people by#being a little more autistic tyvm. i don't think every person should dedicate themselves to being better at communicating#i think people should dedicate themselves to being kind and patient to everyone regardless of their ability to communicate#I think our society wrongly links communication ability to intelligence and intelligence to level of humanity.#when in fact all three of those things are fucking unrelated and connecting them inevitably leads to#really fucked up views on disabled people that hurt us. and then with that aspect of the book firmly understood and established I would#go on to recommend some ways to make socializing easier and more fulfilling (and less shameful and terrifying) for all kinds of people#it wouldn't be a book about Leaning In To Succeed in Business or 'here's how to avoid being the awkward loner at a party'#it'd be a book about how if you see someone alone at a party here's how to invite them to join your group without pressuring them#stuff like 'hot tip! if someone takes a while to type or speak a full sentence - talking over them b4 they can finish makes u an asshole!'#I know that a lot of people cannot or don't want to dump a lot of skill points into socializing like i did and they shouldn't have to in#order to experience basic dignity and respect. if we treat people like that then we just validate that people - especially#autistic children and elders and disabled people of manu varieties - have to suffer unless they learn all these arbitrary bullshit rules#and a lot of them are arbitrary bullshit! one of the reasons I throw people off so much is because I harmlessly break a lot of social rules#but I know I'm doing it and I'm not ashamed and people just don't know what to do with that! but a lot of them like it actually!!#i think it's a relief to be around someone so openly and unrelentingly weird bc what am I gonna do? judge you for being weird??#I only care if you're kind. not necessarily 'nice' or passive. Kind. Brave enough to care about people being treated well. Kind.#also I recognize that at least some of my ability to be openly weird is white privilege so that's important to acknowledge too

glad to see that d3 vid made it to you as well because ohmigosh... i've watched it like 6 times already and it's still just as wild and good as the first time. like the way they all had an answer?? imagining them sitting around having conversations about who they'd like to marry on the team - not to mention the way babies were mentioned more than once. these kids are/have been on tumblr and ao3, they know what's up lol
(also side note one of the guys who said mason, he said it was bc mason was a good cuddler which sent me too - so you guys have cuddled. regularly. like WOW.) not even gonna talk about the one who picked his brother though wanting someone to do your taxes is so real
rotating "hopeless romantic + old school" in my mind, like what does that even mean?? flowers and chocolates and kissing you goodnight at your dorm room? does he pull out a chair for you before you sit down? idk, it was such a sweet and genuine answer
tldr i love them all and can we get more teams doing this please? i've never paid attention to d3 in my life but suddenly i need to know more
- @bondedpairs
every time i watch the video i just start laughing so hard, it brings me so much joy and i cannot thank kasper moregraceful enough for bringing it into all of our lives 🥺 *
AND now i get to pitch that i think everybody should watch more college/local hockey to have that type of joy all the time!!! tickets are usually pretty decently priced, you get your narratives right in front of you (my notes app has some. thoughts) and you get the same emotional attachment and watch your guys develop throughout their careers!!! a lot of the time you can find really fun social media for college teams in particularly because of student media programs but if you are not already an ahl watcher: may i recommend stalking their youtube channels. lehigh valley phantoms spelling bee videos are one of my favorite things in the entire world and the milwaukee ads have a lot of fun content too!!
#it’s called having an emotional support ahl fourth liner for a REASON#and the reasons are a multitude#how are you cole bardreau. i love you baby we can get hors d’oeuvres with dinner#hi bestieeeee 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰#anyway lol you caught me after going to said local hockey team and watching them smash god’s favorites 8-3 so i am evangelizing#did i watch them trip and slip slip around the ice yes was it so much fun also yes.#i love my wingies to death and my big teams but there’s also something super nice about being able to go to a game in person (and also saw#a post from the grizzlies [ten out of ten team you should follow them!!! they did a video like this asking who people’s valentines would be#it’s on my blog tagged with the utah grizzlies i think] with one of my guys who just signed there and i was like 🥺🥺 so. in the same vein as#me checking out a book abt minor league baseball that’s gonna break my heart i get really romantic abt semi-pro/pro/college hockey leagues#liv in the replies#ok now to what you actually asked which was like. RPF and to that i say: agreed and i was gonna look up Bryson and the team roster because#i am here for the goalie romanticism plot. i at all times think you should romance your goalie your goalies should be wined and dined#*UPDATE FOR EVERYONE I JUST GOOGLED THE ROSTER AND DO YOU REMEMBER HOW I WASN’T SURE HOW TO SPELL S(H)(E)A(W)N??? YEAH GUESS. G U E S S#I JUST LAUGHED SO HARD TEA CAME OUT OF MY NOSE I CAN’T BREATHE NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THIS. TRYING NOT TO WHEEZE &FAILING LIKE#SHJON. HIS NAME IS SPELLED SHJON.#also mason does not in fact have a roster photo. rip they were like actually… that’s our polygamous housewife… also mason already KNOWING#the joey voyles sugar daddy checks out btw. ALSO CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SETH SAID HE WANTED SHJON TO DO HIS FINANCES & SHJON’S THE ONE SAYING#YEAH I’D GET A SUGAR DADDY AND THEN THE GOALIE CALLS HIM A HOPELESS ROMANTIC??? WHERE IS *THAT* FIC WITH THE GOALIE SUGAR DADDY#OK DIJON MUSTARD BOY#anyway i want to daydream in the hopeless romantic + old school world with you… chin in hands kicking my feet giggling… making the goalie#take a magazine quiz with us to see if his crush (shjon) likes him back. mcelroy baby so many other guys would marry you didn’t you hear#AND NOW I NEED TO KNOW THE CORRELATION BETWEEN POSITION AND NAMING UR LINEMATES VS YOUR GOALIEEEE#gonna compile a list of facts about Mason that are just: WAIT ALSO NO ONE ELSE KNOWS THIS THERE ARE TWO (2) MASONS ON THE TEAM!!! i assume#they’re all talking about holler but it should be noted. anyway. Mason: can cuddle good personality would make 7ft babies can color good#colorado mesa university

The document:
#The joke here is that this is only one of two documents I have compiling my stuff for them#WAIT NO. THREE. THREE DOCUMENTS#I forgot I had a new idea and pulled up a new document to write in a frenzy#I'm really bad about posting 'ficlets' or things that I don't think are polished 100%#so of this MAYBE I'll wind up with a ~5000 word piece after writing 20000 words or so#I write a lot but only like 5% of what I write ever sees the light of day#I'm still working on the structure rn for the current one and that's always the hardest part#This might wind up being a 5 times or whatever fic because there are too many similar things I want to write but all in a different light#but not different enough to be their own thing#idk I'm tired and stressed rn so I'm dropping this into Word TTS so I can hear it be read back to me while I try to chill & sleep#agh.#i talk#fic talk#qsmp talk#I never write in Word anymore I write in docs now since 90% of my writing these days is on mobile#I just never have time to write#and I can't focus anymore

looking for old fandom stuff really does make you feel like a cyberstalker
#i am following this lady's 25 year old digital trail#but not for a weird reason#one of her fics was posted on an archive but in the author's note she mentions that it is a sequel#to one of her other fics#and THAT fic isn't on the archive#so i am seeing if i can find THAT fic#but just searching for the fic itself has yielded no results#so i am now going through the list of various online screennames she has used#to see if she had ever uploaded it somewhere#(she did btw i found a page with a few of her fics listed in their original email format)#i am compiling a little list of ds9 fics that i think look fun to read after leo and i finish watching ds9#because i am insane i guess

ok yea but don't forget about what daigo did in yakuza 4. how could he throw away his most valuable officer like that? he made such terrible decisions there. he was not a good choice and kiryu should have known better. (i am not prev anon btw but i do agree with them)
i didnt forget: i make fun of him every other day for it actually. His Widow Era, i dub it
but in all seriousness i never said daigo was perfect or the "perfect choice"- every time i defend him i emphasize that he isn't perfect and more or less joke about yayoi being chairwoman. but i don't intend to make him seem perfect- i just want to say he's not totally helpless and he didn't run the tojo into the ground like people seem to believe. daigo making one fuck up that got resolved in a week isn't fair enough grounds to brand him a failure for his twelve years of service
plus, who else was kiryu supposed to choose? we already went over how kashiwagi isn't the kind of man to lead people- guide, sure- but not lead. and majima surely didn't want to lead the tojo, he hardly even wanted to be there. kiryu made it clear his options were exhausted and anyone but daigo would be an irresponsible choice (and that was made evident with the likes of shindo running around). again, it was a gamble, and luckily daigo managed to work things out despite his inexperience and hasty inauguration
BUT this ask has inspired me to make a general timeline of daigo's career complete with W's, L's, and things totally out of his control so we can all come to our own conclusions on whether he was cringe fail or not
text version below, left to right:
(Post-Y2) Daigo's Inauguration - January, 2007
Peace Period - January 2007 to March 2009 (2 years, 2 months)
(Y3) Daigo is shot in an attempt to protect Kazuma Kiryu's land - March, 2009
Peace Period - March 2009 to March 2010 (1 year)
(Y4) Daigo is cornered by Isao Katsuragi and the police - March 2010
Peace Period - March 2010 to December 2012 (2 years, 9 months)
(Y5) Daigo slips from the Tojo to visit Tatsuo Shinada and causes a potential rift between the Tojo and the Yamagasa family - December, 2012
(Post-Y5) Daigo resolves the tension between the Yamagasa family and the Tojo Clan - December, 2012
Peace Period - December 2012 to 2015 (3 years)
(Pre-Y6) Daigo, alongside Goro Majima, are framed and arrested for the fire in Little Asia - 2015 to January 2017 (~2 years)
(Post-Y6) Daigo and co. are released from prison, deciding not to get revenge for Kiryu's sake - January, 2017
Peace Period - January 2017 to Late 2017 (~1 year)
(Pre-Y7) The Tojo Clan is pushed out of Kamurocho as a part f the Kamurocho 3K Plan (Late 2017)
Daigo, Saejima, and Majima are forced into hiding - Late 2017 to Mid 2019 (~2 years)
(Y7) Daigo and Masaru Watase put an end to the yakuza and go legit as a security company - Mid 2019
#snap chats#i could probably also include daigo's charisma being able to recruit mine#mine's involvement in the tojo is what gave them grandiose funds#tho i excluded it since we don't see that tree bear fruit- if anything it just makes a problem in Y4 💀#i did consider daigo's arrest in 2015 as out of his control- not to mention majima was arrested a well#it wasn't that daigo made an agreement with the police they literally just came and arrested him and majima#unlike Y4 where he had the choice of whether or not to work with the police#i've marked the jima's hiding as out of his control though i guess you can argue it was in his control#but it was a long-term plan so it's like. EHHHHH up in the air ig#yes the tojo was pushed out but it was also a long-term plan to protect them and liberate them from the government#it's an L or a W depending on how you see it#i feel like im missing something but im tired and put more effort into this than i should have#if we wanna talk bout daigo's capabilities as a chairman i'm all ears because i am that post i just rb'd about becoming your pfp#for now im making a hijikata compilation bye
