Redid a dtyis I did roughly a year back. Happier with the way I’ve improved drawing digitally so it isn’t a complete hassle to do.
First is new, second is old!

Seeing all these fankids running around makes me think of the tmnt 2003 fandom days <3<3<3, there are def more fankids but I only have so much steam
(fankids left to right)
Amaterasu Hamato belongs to @sha-biest Casey Jr. belongs to Leonardo Augustine Hamato belongs to @star-sparkler Lita May belongs to @cupcakeslushie Yummi Hamato belongs to @rednleafff
#I like how EW!Donnie grew up differently from Replica!Donnie and still made an oops baby#Donnie is just determined to make babies and not think about what happens after the baby exists#ALSO ALSO I LOOOVE how most of these kids were either “poofed” into existence via either science or magic or even just straight up adopted#bc way back in the 2003 fandom days if you wanted a fankid then mpreg was involved#I still see it and I appreciate it bc the mpreg is often called as a trans thing NOWadays#and as someone who is constantly smothering her/his/their gender lovingly with a pillow I think that's neat#art#rottmnt#rise of the tmnt#rottmnt fanart#rottmnt fan art#tmnt#rottmnt future au#rottmnt michelangelo#rottmnt mikey#tmnt fan art#tmnt 2018#tmnt fanart#Lita May#yummi#Ammi#Yummi Hamato#The Last Ronin#Augustine Hamato#tmnt fankids#rottmnt fankids#Amaterasu Hamato

I remember seeing this one post by a kr//////bk saying that Izuku never treated Katsuki like a person, showed him blind love and put unrealistic expectations on him( that he should never lose). While Kiri treated him for who he was, always called out his bad behaviour and showed him was love was and everyone in the comments were agreeing and saying bkdk were toxic.
This was during the early days of the fandom and it pretty much me hate kr////bk and their dumbass fandom because you do NOT mischaracterize Izuku like that. I wasn't even a bkdk back then but it threw me off with how bad their reading comprehension was.
yea, it's sad that the kr/bk fandom has ppl with takes like this :( esp bc for a long time this was the fandom consensus. no one bothered reading mha in good faith bc it tackled a touchy subject for many (bullying) so they just lied. which is crazy bc deku is the main character!!! not even a side character where mischaracterization feels like an inevitable consequence!!! that guy is front and center ALL the time!!!
and strangely it's still happening, i've seen some of these takes on twitter as recent as like a month ago. but every ship fandom has bad apples that either accidentally or purposefully misconstrue characters. it's just what happens when u're trapped in a ship fandom's echo chamber; i know several bkdks who do the same as these toxic kr/bks. i'm sure there are plenty of kr/bks that love deku and would never dream of mischaracterizing him
ultimately we should all try to enjoy a story for what it gives us, and not let fandomification and shipping ruin our perception of canon B)
#i do think it's a little funny when kr/bks claim they're the underdog bullied victims now cus 2016-2020 mha fandom would disagree HEAVILY#like. learn ur mha fandom herstory#and they Did regularly harass bkdks i fear. it was actually the main reason i didn't tell anyone i liked bkdk at first LOL#but either way i don't like to throw an entire ship fandom under the bus. that's 2018 vld fandom behavior and i am Over that#bakudeku mention#kiribaku mention#asks for becki

i mean it when i say we've gotta bring back askblogs. bring back making character chat posts with poor choice text colors over random backgrounds. bring back blogs dedicated to what outfits you think characters would wear.
fandom is an ecosystem, not a numbers game. these types of blogs/posts/etc still exist in concept, because people still want to make them and they're a great way to get your thoughts of an idea out in a simple format, but most people make them on like tiktok or instagram reels and that's where the problem lies. Those videos don't go anywhere. The format doesn't allow for the discussion to spread through the community and they're less likely to be engaged with in general. And to make them most people have to either show their face or figure out editing software, so the barrier to entry is higher (editing) and/or they have to forfeit an amount of privacy.
those types of posts/blogs are the first rung of the ecosystem. they're the perfect environment for younger members of the fandom to begin safely interacting with the larger community and putting their own thoughts and ideas out there. roleplay is the other major spot for that and those communities are diminishing as well, honestly (if you know of an rp forum board site, cherish it. and if you can make one, make one). they allow younger fans to begin engaging with the source material on a different/deeper level, but still at a very low barrier to entry, and begin conversations with other fans, which also helps them build skills which in turn may encourage them to pursue other avenues within the fandom (fic writing, other formats of askblog - which itself usually leads to art, cosplay, also fic writing, etc). Without those places to build those skills, they might feel discouraged from trying to begin when surrounded by curated people who have built their skills up for years.
And those conversations they foster also in turn help the community, by offering ideas to artists or fic writers to extrapolate on or building community jokes. And that text/blog format specifically is extremely beneficial, because it allows younger members of the fandom to remain anonymous and keep their privacy without concerning themselves with having any platform or having anything attached to them (very important for young fans figuring themselves out and navigating online community spaces for the first time, since they can remove themselves from spaces easily if they decide they don't like it and they're protected, rather than PUTTING THEIR FACE ON THE INTERNET). And those posts they make will spread a lot more into the community since they're in a significantly easier format to be reposted (few people are gonna be reposting tons of random short-form videos versus spamming their instagrams with reposts of 10 random fandom images yoinked from tumblr, or reposting to pinterest or something). Like, don't repost art, at the VERY least don't repost without credit, but also I am not ignorant to the fact that my art is not just the first google image result for "pjo pride" and related searches, but also the 4th, the 6th, the 9th, the 10th, the 11th, etc etc., and pops up in the search results before the official ReadRiordan does simply because people reposted my work more (most with credit, thankfully).
For fandom to be a community, it needs to perpetuate itself. There needs to be engagement with one another and conversation. If that bottom rung is cut off, then new fans won't be able to grow into the other niches of the fandom, and the fandom will be solely reliant on the source material and die out extremely quickly, and there won't be a community. There's no conversation! There's no reason to stay beyond the original material! But if you don't have points of entry for new fans, they won't have any way to build the skills needed to move into those niches, or engage with the community in a healthy way.
tl;dr: Bring back askblogs and character-based text post blogs. They are vital to fandom ecosystem.
#fandom#long post //#i know many people jest about tumblr posts being reposted often to other social media#but there's a reason for that! because few other social media these days are primarily text-based! and tumblr is a BLOGGING website!#we're built for sharing random essays! which means we have a LOT of word-heavy stuff#that other platforms can really only have in a different format - usually either image or video - due to character limits#and videos - even short form video - is far less engaged with because it takes more time to interact with#and short form videos of this nature ^ are usually only reposted in like. long-form video format compilations#which are pretty equally if not even less frequently interacted with#because most of those other social media platforms dont have good ways to easily share posts en mass like tumblr's reblog function#so even if those posts do get shared they rarely go far and even if they do they dont stick around#i also personally dont think it's coincidental that general fandom attitude shifts occurred circa 2016-2018#around the same time as the major shift away from tumblr due to the bans#anyways if you run one of those types of blogs i respect you immensely#you are underappreciated but you fulfill an important ecological niche#also i know rp blogs are still a thing but theyre much more scarce and rp communities in general are drying up

Half assed screens, but some of the glamours I might will use for Ieeha throughout the journey of Dawntrail!
#its funny cause im actually super nervous#in a way thats really similar to how i felt when heavenward dropped#im as prepared as i possibly can be i think for the way ieeha will look with the new graphics#while trying to remind myself to cling onto the hope of being able to mod him#maybe ill be positively surprised of how he looks but tbh i kinda doubt it with his key features being changed#but ill try to stay positive as much as possible at least#im sad that burnout + lack of PC made me miss out on so much of endwalker#i think thats why i dont feel ready for dawntrail yet... because i dont feel done with endwalker#but ill just do all the things im behind on after!!!!!!#ieeha de verral#ieeha#my screenshot#ffxiv glamour#also someone once pointed out i use the maid tights a lot#and they were right. but its still nowhere near how much i use the midan horn of healing#im serious its been the key feature of ALL of ieehas healer glams since...... when did midas drop? early 2016? since then#the field commanders gloves are my second most glamoured item most likely#especially since is for all classes.......#i want to use other headpieces but they either clip or arent visible under ieehas bangs#or they just look off#who knows what will happen in DT... maybe he'll find a new hairstyle or smth. he's had the same since like 2018#TIME SHALL TELL HEHE

*insert 0R30 song here*
fun fact: this is less of a fanart and more of a redraw since i didnt use alice as a reference, only my old art that i initially draw from memory soooooo yeah. looking much more plain than usual LMAO anyways TW: old shitty art under the read more
#bendy and the ink machine#batim#batim fanart#alice angel#batim alice angel#cant believe i made that old fanart in 2018#it doesnt feel like that long ago (even if its been 5 whole years)#ngl i used to only draw alice bc i thought she was pretty LMFAOO#unlike sally face batim didnt do much for me#it was cool and it helped me appreciate the rubberhose artstyle more but other than that it didnt rlly change me#either way solid game. 5/10 (points taken away for essentially everything on deviantart........good lord that was horrific)

browsing getty and i. did not realize how many photos there were of jonas and mikkel chatting away in the peloton or at the start line?
#anyway mikkel jonas besties confirmed#they go way back like all those 2018 races before either of them even had worldtour contracts#fanon is that tadej is always bothering mikkel about jonas but i propose: jonas always bothering mikkel about tadej#or both? both. both is good.#also fun fact about mikkel bjerg is that he took emma's last name when they got married#legally he is mikkel norsgaard bjerg#mikkel bjerg#jonas vingegaard

whenever people criticize jeff blim’s falsetto it always makes me go ugh, not because they’re wrong (although i personally like his voice) but because nine times out of ten it’s not even his falsetto they’re talking about. it’s his chest voice/mix. like if you’re going to complain about his voice at least complain about the right part of his voice.
#he uses his falsetto more in tgwdlm but in black friday and cinderellas castle it’s all belt/mix#the mix might be called the head voice for male vocal ranges i genuinely do not know#starkid#jeff blim#jeff blim ‘‘falsetto’’ discourse has been happening since AT LEAST 2018 and i have always been sick of it. i feel so old.#actually maybe more like 2019 idk#either way i’m tired.

Now I'm curious how they'd end up in a polycule in the first place lol
my face when i get to talk about lore
i wrote a whole lot so im gonna put it under a readmore but TLDR:
hollyberry & powdered sugar have known each other since they were littleeee-- before she finds her soul jam & everything! so they were already pretty close. in my head powdered sugar is at the very least acquainted w/ the others. hollyberry & powdered sugar were adventurers together until the berry families get united & the hollyberry kingdom is founded.
hollyberry & powdered sugar both fight pitaya! pitaya isn't one to back down and rest, but powdered sugar is insistent on bandaging the dragon up. hes just not one to leave someone injured. this quickly becomes a cycle where they fight and powdered sugar patches it up before it thinks about flying off. pitaya starts not minding (bc then it can get back to fighting faster)
this is at the very least the beginnings of their relationships w/ eachother.
as a brief summary: powdered sugar is able to get pseudo-immortality but has to stay in an inn of his founding in order to keep it up. the inn is created post-dark flour war and powdered sugar presumes hollyberry to be either dead or missing
so when a certain unnamed huntress comes across an inn and sees her childhood friend of so many years ago-- safe to say they're both surprised to see each other! hollyberry doesn't really ask, but she will still try to visit.
...but by legend of the red dragon she's starting to think that some answers on how powdered sugar is still alive after YEARS are needed. especially if it's some kind of sinister magic. this story powdered sugar gets to tag along with ^___^ by force. but it also lets the trio do some necessary rekindling that eventually pushes them into considering romanticisms
im actually like writing the legend of the red dragon retelling w/ powdered sugar's inclusion as a fic but idk if ill ever post it
post legend of the red dragon i think pitayasugar happens first. they kind of always had moments but never really talked about it. hollyberry & powdered sugar sort of resolve themselves into thinking that they'll just be friends for eternity. until eventually somebody pushes them into getting together. (like no you two making out w/ eachother when youre drunk is NOT typically a normal friend thing!)
but yeah i think theyre all cute together and um ilike them a lot smiles i think theyre very complicated but also so uncomplicated bc thats just how it is when youre friends/lovers as immortal beings
#📗; my post#💚; art tag#🍏; ask#🥞; powdered sugar#r; 🍓#r; 🍻#additional things as an afterthought: pitaya came first LOL#ive liked pitaya for so long like quite literally roughly since they got released ~2018-2019#i only really got pushed into making a s/i slash oc when it got released into crk#hollyberry umm <3 she was honestly someone i thought would be in my 'best friend who i also kiss' category until i thought abt her too hard#so here we are#funnily enough when legend of the red dragon got released i did NOT like hollytaya as a ship#i thought it was annoying that the only way you got content of either of them was through the ship#ive grown a bit more OK with it bc there IS some good art and i think in the right contexts theyre really cute together#but in terms of canon & whatnot i think them more of exes who are still good friends it just fits their general dynamic i feel#and no this wouldnt affect the polycule dynamic in any way bc once all the Baggage is over with they all communicate effectively 👍👍#polycules are so cute and fun esp when you think of the different dynamics a polycule can have <3 <3

not gonna lie I sometimes feel strange posting baldi art in 2023. Like I know is not my fault that I didn't know about fandoms and stuff but seeing some old posts of fans having fun when baldis basics was so popular and posting arts and stuff and seeing people interacting with each other with their baldi blogs and...i don't know. I feel like I missed so much fun. I feel like a fake fan because I didn't join the fandom sooner and when I see people mention some events that happened in the fandom I just. can't say anything because I wasn't there (or either I don't remember that much?)
#tbh i wouldnt even be here if it was not bcuz of friends and some people encouraging me to keep drawing even tho my old drawings sucked ass#like i know it doesnt matter if you join a fandom late but damn ggrgrgrrg!!!!#but i think thats good bcuz i was so much younger when the first game came out -#i cant imagine the horrors of internet danger.#i was busy watching comic dubs 😔#now whenever i post baldi art i feel like that scene when Spongebob tells a tomato joke and everyone is like. silent 👽#yeah i went stalking to a baldi blog who reposted baldi related through all way 2018 (worst mistake)#now when I see a baldi blog theyre either desactivated or abandoned which. i understand. lack of interest...!#i just kind of wish i was present when those blogs were created#also uh. sorry for this i hope yall understand 🥸#talking :0)#i think i may delete later...? idk
