#But what about the people that have followed me for previous fanart from that fandom and they end up reblogging?

I’ve noticed a trend that whenever I get into a fandom and make it my main obsession that I simultaneously have the best and worst social experiences of my life. Sometimes it makes me want to not share my interests in fear of having it happen again, other times I put on rose-tinted glasses and think about how fun it was back then even if i was hurting. I think that’s why I flip-flop a lot and be inconsistent on forcing myself to focus on ocs and “swearing off drawing xyz” . Not that I don’t enjoy drawing my ocs because I absolutely do (the one thing that probably can’t be entirely tainted by others), but when I wanna draw fan content I hate being put into spotlight in a community. Of course, I can just not post fanart, but simultaneously I almost feel guilty because the social side of me wants to bring joy and share an interest.
#first it happened with FNAF then it happened with Undertale then it happened with SU then it happened with Cookie Run#and probably some other things I can't think of atm#I kind of wish there was a way to just post fanart but simultaneously be perceived and NOT perceived yknow?#like I dont want major attention to my fanart but I wanna be in my little rat corner#And not have to worry about coming across discourse or people that will change the trajectory of my life or some shit#I find its a little more comforting when I end up not tagging fanart#But what about the people that have followed me for previous fanart from that fandom and they end up reblogging?#i still get perceived somehow. And that scares me.#I don't even know if im making sense. I'm probably the only one with this issue. idk.

Is it just me or is there way less fanart being made for this game than the previous ones? Kind of makes me sad, I remember with dai I could check the tags every few hours and find something new weeks after launch, now I only can get away with only looking a few times and week and miss nothing.
I don't think that's Veilguard exclusive.
Things I and my mutuals draw now are getting less notes/reblogs than they did even one year ago, regardless of the fandom. Fanfiction is getting less comments and kudos on ao3 too (not that they were getting many comments in the first place) Less gifs are being made because gif makers weren't getting reblogs. Hell, most of the post I make have a huge discrepancy between likes and reblogs and add polls into that? A thousand people voted on something and only a dozen people reblog it. It's a hollowing feeling when you realise you're calling out to an empty void, I don't blame people for creating less art because of that.
I don't see a vast majority of the people who follow me in my notes because I have likes disabled. Multiple times someone has sent me an ask apologizing for spamming me with likes and I don't understand it? That is not a bad thing And unless you reblogged anything along the way, I didn't even realise you were doing it in the first place. And the people whose notes I do see are not annoying in the slightest, I love the tags you add and I'm sure the original poster does even more so
I'm not trying to shame anyone Into interacting with the fandom spaces they're in but the whole point of Tumblr and what makes it a blogging platform and not social media is that this is a show and tell website. You're supposed to look at something you think is cool and then wave it around for your followers to see and then they pick it up and do the same regardless of how old it is
When you reblog an ask game from someone it used to be common courtesy to send that person one of the asks from it. Folks used to leave comments analysing paragraphs from stories people wrote and theorising about what would happen next on every chapter. We used to send each other asks just asking about our ocs unprompted
If there's no interaction or community when you create something, then what's the point of creating it? It sucks that fandom is morphing into something to be consumed and thrown away the second it's more than a week old unless you're one of a handful of blogs that got lucky and picked up traction at just the right moment
I'm sorry for the rant but I get emotional when I think about the decay of fandom spaces for too long. And this goes without saying, but you guys can reblog anything on my dash if the button isn't disabled on it
#ugh screw it#i'm putting this in main tags#veilguard#dragon age#ao3#honestly I'm losing motivation to post anything that takes me longer than 5 minutes to make#the amount of times I've seen somebody say they dont want to post their art here anymore because no one interacts with them is heartbreakin#and I'm one of those people unfortunately#I don't want to pull in woe is me card but it hurts seeing something I spent 12 hours on be completely ignored versus-#-a screenshot with a tweet imposed on a pic of varric I made while heating a hot pocket getting 15 times the acknowledgement#and yes I know I'm not the best artist/writer but damn if a little encouragement doesn't go a long way#one person encouraged me to keep posting stuff the other day and they're the only reason I have#If you read this go into a dragon age tag and reblog somebody's art that has less than 100 notes-#-and mention something you like about it in the tags#and me posting fan fiction as a whole thing here?

List of Tokyo Debunker Fandom Tags & Yume/MC Ships Guides to Help You Navigate Twitter
Since the fandom is growing, I feel like it'd be handy to have a list like this. Please note that some of the tags below don't actually exist yet! I just compiled it using my knowledge from previous fandoms.
#東ディバ絵札 (toudiba efuda) - General fanart tag. It's usually frowned upon to upload shippy art on the main tag (no matter what kind. Yes, yume included) so please be careful!
#tkdb夢 (tkdb yume) / #東ディバ夢 (toudiba yume) - General yume tag. Scopes including both Character x default MC and OC x Canon.
#tkdbプラス (tkdb plus) - Often used interchangeably with #tkdb夢. Yume works posted with this tag have the general "sweet romance" feel.
#病みのtkdbプラス (yami no tkdb plus) - For yume works where the canon character is depicted as a yandere / harboring some kind of twisted love for the yume MC. Sometimes used together with #tkdbマイナス tag if the scenario fits.
#tkdbマイナス (tkdb minus) - For yume works that deal with more niche, darker themes generally unsuitable with the positive vibes of plus yume works. Themes vary including but not limited to: forever one-sided feelings, angst, character death, break up, domestic violence, cheating, bad / merry bad endings, gore, etc. Basically if you see works tagged as this, that'd be your Dead Dove: Do Not Eat warning.
#夜のtkdbプラス (yoru no tkdb plus) - General R-18 yume works.
特待生ちゃん (tokutaisei-chan) - Honor Student / The MC. Since Tokyo Debunker MC doesn't have a default name, this is usually how the fans refer to her when talking about her. The canon MC, if you will.
創作特待生 (sousaku tokutaisei) - Original rendition of the Honor Student. Visual design, personality, gender, and backstory may be different to the canon MC.
創作寮生 (sousaku ryousei) - Original (Darkwick) Student that's completely separate from the Honor Student. This term isn't exclusive to Tokyo Debunker so if you only put "創作寮生" on the search bar you'll get OCs from other franchises too (Twisted Wonderland & Harry Potter, to name a few).
Some character x canon MC ship names
冠特 (kamutoku) - Jin x Honor Student
伯特 (hatoku / hakutoku) - Haku x Honor Student
翔特 (shoutoku) - Sho x Honor Student
Those three are currently the only ones popular enough to have people using a dedicated ship names when making works about them. If you want to see the other characters x canon MC ship works, you'll have better luck searching "#tkdb夢 / #tkdbプラス + (character's name)" instead.
As for canon x canon character ships, usually a fandom would create specific 腐 tag for it (like #ツイ腐テ for twst) but since the fandom is still pretty small, I don't think anyone has came up with a proper 腐 tag for Tokyo Debunker. I could've just missed it tho, since I only follow people who post yume and general non-shippy works so feel free to let me know!
For now, you can try your luck by combining the first kanji of two characters' given name. Keep in mind that Japanese fandom is usually much more strict about ship naming tho. AB ≠ BA!
I think that's all of it for now. Thank you for reading! I'll leave a kitty Rui here so you can stare at how cute he is~ ;3c

Hello, my name is NattiKay, and welcome to my blog! Before you follow, there’s a thing you should know about how I do fandom.
Basically, it can take one of two forms. The first is casual fandoms—this includes various media I enjoy and will like/reblog posts about, maybe even doodle for on rare occasions. I can have several of these simultaneously.
But the second—and much more visible—is a “main” fandom, which you can also call hyperfixation or special interest if you wish. I only have one of these at a time, it lasts for years, and it pretty much takes over my life and blog during that time. Once every few years or so my brain will latch on to a new “main” fandom—I don’t know what triggers it to switch, and I have zero control over when it happens or to what.
My current special-interest fandom is Avatar (James Cameron/blue people), with a bonus mini-fixation on the Na'vi language. My favorite characters are the Sully family and much of my art focuses on them right now.
Previous special-interest fandoms that I’ve had during my time on tumblr are, in descending order of recency:
Trollhunters/Tales of Arcadia Miraculous Ladybug Inuyasha
I make this distinction to say that if you recently found this blog through fanart of one of these previous fixations and followed hoping for more, I’m sorry to say you’re going to be disappointed.
When my fixation switches, I loose interest in actively creating content for the previous fandom because all my energy gets dedicated to the new one. This does not at all mean that I no longer like the previous ones—I may still reblog posts about them here and there—just that I no longer have the inspiration to be producing a bunch of art/comics/etc for them the way I used to. They’ve essentially moved from main fandom to casual fandoms. Yes, this will happen one day for my current fixation too, though I have no way of predicting when.
I will not be offended if you follow me during one fixation and then unfollow when it switches. I will also not be offended if you recently found this blog through my old content from previous fandoms and then choose not to follow because of this post: like I said, if you follow hoping for new art from those, you’re gonna be let down 😅
#(figured I should have a new pinned post that isn’t ML-specific like the old one 😅)#still feel free to follow if you still want to of course!#just don’t be expecting new art from previous fixations#shoutout to the folks who have stuck with me through multiple fixations y’all are great; sorry for doing this to your dash lol#(to anyone who might being saying “but wait didn’t you say atla was one of your previous fixations? why isn’t that on the list?”)#(the answer is yes yes it was! but that was pre-tumblr so I doubt anyone’s gonna be finding this blog through that lol)

It's morning, and I'm still in bed, having pre-coffee thinky thoughts. Mainly about Veilguard lol.
I'm thinking about why I haven't talked about Solavellan in datv much yet. This blog has become an almost exclusively Lucanis Dellamorte blog these past few months 😂. But, I've been obsessed with Solavellan for 10 years. They are my otp. Soooo what's going on?
Under the cut because length and SPOILERS.
1. I genuinely haven't fully processed the Solavellan ending yet. I've done it twice and I sobbed both times and it hurts SO GOOD. But I still feel like I haven't let it get all the way in yet. I'm keeping it at arm's length just a little bit because... Ow.
2. I'm mad at Solas. We see him at his worst in datv. It's been a decade of solitude and desperation and he is wearing that Fen'Harel mask non-stop. He's lost sight of himself (if he ever had a good grip on the concept in modern times). And... I didn't really understand just how much I loved Varric until this game. Because, now I can't see fanart of him without tearing up. I can't play datv without crying over him. And while that also hurts SO GOOD (and I love tragedies), I also cannot forgive Solas for killing Varric and then LYING about it and USING Varric's memory against Rook. Like... I have a lot to unpack there but it feels unforgivable to me.
3. But, how I feel and how Riallan Lavellan feels are two different things. She loves him still, after everything. Not to say they won't have some very big serious talks in the Fade and that she isn't mad at him, but she ultimately does forgive him. And, so there's a gap between me and Ria at the moment that's going to take time for me to process before I can start writing them again (I very much want to write them again).
4. I love my Rook, Embria Aldwir. Like, so so much. And I LOVE Riallan, but she's much more removed from me and my personality than Embria is. When I play DA games for the very first time I usually play as/for myself, then make a second character to RP and actually establish my canon. But... in datv, Embria hit all the right boxes and notes. My first run felt like canon and I have latched onto this girly harder than ANY of my previous DA ocs. I can't wait to explore in fic how Embria and Riallan's paths cross and what their relationship becomes, but I'm not there yet. I'm still cooking.
4. My biggest reason for not yapping more about Solavellan is that... The fandom around Solas has become incredibly toxic and almost... Invasive. Like, I love him and love seeing gorgeous art of him and Lavellan, but also... The takes are frequently bad and the body swap mods are getting egregious (like c'mon, he would not do that and you know it). I know this is a personal squick, but for me, anything that feels that disingenuous to the character is a complete turn off. Seeing him do things he would. not. do. makes me wonder if people even actually like him? Or just some weird version they've cooked up in their mind these past 10 years. Idk, I'm just seeing a lot of stuff in Solavellan spaces that is actually making me like Solas less, because of how fans treat him AND other fans. Which... Sucks. So, I'm trying to preserve MY Solavellan, my beloved, tender, tragic otp, and to do that I can't really participate in fandom about them. At least, not right now when everything is fresh and feverish.
So, yeah. That's where my head is at re: Solavellan. I love them. I just have a lot of complicated feelings about them right now. So I'm gonna keep playing and learning with Lucanis and Embria. Don't be surprised if I come out of nowhere with a giant fic involving all of them in like, five years (I didn't start writing Solavellan until 2019, even though I shipped them right after DAI released).
And, if you made it this far and also enjoy tender, tragic Solavellan, I have a fic to give you:
Inevitable
It's complete, and follows Riallan and Solas from the very beginning, to just after Trespasser. Canon-compliant, in-between moments with eventual smut.
It is the fic of my heart. I spent the better part of four years writing it and sobbed when it was done. Please read it if it sounds like your jam.
And of course, it comes with a playlist. Enjoy!

Another PSA For The ROTTMNT Fandom:
Hi guys, I know I already did one of these kinds of posts but I feel like I need to make another one so that I can actually get my point across, because SOME OF YOU are being hella stubborn and keep coming up with dumb excuses about it, so please take a look at this post and read through the whole thing. Thank you.
1.) FICTION. AFFECTS. REALITY. It doesn’t matter if a character is fictional or not, it’s not an excuse to do weird/nasty shit with them, ESPECIALLY IF IT’S A MINOR/YOUNGER CHARACTER. It’s super messed up and you clearly don’t have a good mindset at all if you think that it’s okay to do weird/nasty stuff with Fictional Characters, especially the Rise Of The TMNT Characters. So STOP BEING WEIRD/NASTY. It’s not that hard to be a normal human being and realize that what you’re doing is wrong (AKA Sexualizing the characters/Minor characters, drawing NSFW/Suggestive Art of the Minor characters, etc).
2.) None of the Rise Of The TMNT Characters have any sort of romantic feelings for anyone in the show, and that’s obviously not a major plot point in the show, which is completely fine, because in all honesty it doesn’t have to be. The show focuses on family dynamics/issues and that’s what makes the show unique compared to the other TMNT iterations, especially the 2012 TMNT iteration (honestly the TMNT 2012 iteration was hella messed up in terms of romance I’m not gonna lie). And if you’re gonna make an OC that’s just gonna be a romantic interest for one of the characters then it’s kinda pointless to even have an OC like that since the show doesn’t have any romantic themes (NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE REVOLVED AROUND ROMANCE, IT’S OVERRATED and some of you have a very weird idea of what Romance is for some god awful reason).
3.) If you’re following any problematic ROTTMNT Artists and you don’t know or realize that you are (or maybe you do and just don’t care), then I’ll put a list down below with proof of what they did so that you can unfollow them if need be (also if I forgot any then let me know and I’ll update this post and put them in here as well and I got most of this info from someone else btw):
• Donagotchi/Don-or-goober/Goobygnarp - Defending harassment and proshippers/interacting/friends/mutuals with proshippers. Withholding information about an individual he thought was dangerous due to following proshippers (which had since been resolved) and only coming out about it when someone drew fanart of their oc with his on a sketch page (both ocs were shipped with donnie).
• Pinetreevillain - Harassing minors, drawing aged up nsfw, showing cropped nsfw to minors, agreeing with proshipping values. making a whole document to call out a minor who had called him out for previous things, causing them to be harassed and threatened. He did not apologize, he did not amend this mistake.
• Pasteilian - Made many posts sending harassment to a minor, supporting PineTreeVillain and nsfw of minors (both aged up and uhhh), proship nuetral. Fostered a community of proshippers ready to attack anyone who is against it, including minors. Draws really suggestive shit of the turtles??? imo (This also goes for Donagotchi and Pines friends), Proship neutral. Was apart of Pinetrees harassment of a minor. Sexualises the turtles (minors). Gaslighting behaviour.
• InkyGeek - known tcester and is a groomer (primarily of Notjustdragons/turtles).
• Beebopurr - Strange behavior towards others (hyper aggressive). Breaking peoples boundaries. Also ships Rise!April and Rise!Leo, which is a Proship.
• Pegibruno / his supporters - interacted with a minor/s in such a way they ended up being desensitized to NSFW of minors/proship content. Has made nsfw of the turtles.
• TheColinStein - Supports tcest, has said/sent inappropriate things/images about tmnt in his server full of minors, doxxed another user, endangering their safety, stealing art and merchandise to sell/raffle off.
• Mousie - Is a Tcester/draws NSFW of minors.
• Stasik - Is a Tcester/draws NSFW of minors.
• PouringTheArtJuicys - Is a Tcester/draws NSFW of minors.
• Leeseechkeens - Is a Tcester/draws NSFW of minors. Was also apparently groomed by the previous 3 artists that I mentioned above this artist to draw NSFW of the Turtles/Minors.
• Donathan - Draws NSFW/Suggestive Art of the turtles, who are Minors.
• CherryTreatsArt/Redshornyjail - Actively draws Tcest and NSFW content of the turtles.
• Artisticgargoyle - Is an ApriTello shipper, which is a proship.
• Zorocello - Is known to be a Tcester and has a Patreon where it has NSFW Art of the Turtles.
• Heartsquigz - Is a proshipper/ships Rise!April and Rise!Leo, which is a proship.
• Mishacakes - Secretly draws NSFW art of the Turtles, who are minors, on their Patreon.
• xi40-r2by - Is a Tcest supporter and supports/follows people who are Tcesters.
• ice-mei - Draws Rise! ApriTello, which is a proship (they’re siblings)
• squigglingo - Is a Tcester and supports people who are Tcesters, and also draws Rise! ApriTello art, which is a proship (this artist is also a proshipper).
• vitensal - Is a Tcester and draws Tcest art of the turtles.

Zelink Community is highlighting... @wouldyoustilllovemeifiwasawyrm!
"My name is Fyre and I’m a zelinkaholic. I’ve been in this fandom for a little over a year and written a little over two novels’ worth of fanfiction. I’ve loved every second of being in this fun, lively fandom and I look forward to all the Echoes of Wisdom fanart and fanfic that we’ll create!"
Check out some of their work:
A Lullaby For a Princess (Rated Mature) Five months following the end of the events of Tears of the Kingdom, Link and Zelda return home to Hateno, overseeing the rebuilding of Castle Town from afar as the Princess readjusts herself to her previous life. But the past haunts her still, seeding doubts as to her fitness to lead the people of Hyrule. A surprise pregnancy has the hero and his princess running to the Sheikah for advice. Turns out there's a lot more to expanding the royal family than either had imagined. Zelda's doubts follow her like shadows. Even the Master Sword isn't sharp enough to cut through the memories of centuries of perceived failure. Rebuild Castle Town, re-establish the monarchy, resolve unprocessed trauma, and learn how to change diapers? It's a lot for a princess and her appointed knight to handle.
Excuse Me, Princess After the end of the events of the series, Link and Zelda retrieve the Triforce of Power from Ganon's destroyed underworld. With the evil wizard run out of Hyrule and both pieces of the Triforce now safely in Hyrule Castle, what does the princess need her hero for? Apparently, finding a forgotten third piece.
My Lady, My Lady My first day under the Princess of Hyrule was astoundingly unremarkable. Elevated from my previous service by the head housekeeper, Mrs. Ria, who never liked anybody and, I thought, especially not me, I soon found myself led to the princess’s chambers to learn under the senior maid. Elanor desperately wanted to leave the princess’s service and was told in no uncertain terms that breaking her contract with the castle without first training a new maid to take her place would result in a forfeiture of her last month of wages. I assumed that Elanor simply wished to leave the service to marry one of the guards, since she spoke of them often enough at mealtimes. I could think of no other reason why anyone would give up such a covetable position as Princess Zelda’s lady’s maid. I was soon to learn the truth of the matter.
Find Them on Social Media:
@wouldyoustilllovemeifiwasawyrm can also be found on AO3 under fyreflare!
Have something nice to say about Fyre and/or their work? Drop a comment or send them an ask!

Ok not to kick this up again, but a few of the people that rbed your post/ask answer about how it’s not just about the art/fics white people create, but also poc artists need to step up and draw poc people, are white people/white artists and i really can’t help but feel some type of way about it. Esp bc they didn’t like or rb your other posts speaking up about racism FROM white creators in this fandom AND some had also recently supported a friend of theirs that had attacked a poc person after they pointed out how white centric this fandom is. This is the type of coded behavior in this fandom that makes me so uncomfortable. I see what people support and don’t support. Like ma’am you won’t rb posts about racism and inclusion that’s addressing the white people like yourself but you’ll rb a post saying poc people in this fandom need to do better to make it inclusive? I see you. And this isn’t at ALL about what you said, I understand your point entirely, it’s about THEM and how they move.
What you said does have validity to it and I think itss something that should be addressed, though I am gonna hit more on things I’ve noticed, because there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. As in interactions with my account people think I don’t see because they try to undo it quickly or hope I don’t notice.
Also, if you’re referring to the stuff that happened the week before last, it was amongst two POCs. Both are people of color which is why I stressed in my previous heavy hitter that we have to try understanding each others’—once again talking about within the POC demographic—viewpoints and where we’re coming from because it was a misunderstanding that seemed to spiral. Most of it occurred when I was not active on tumblr, so I can’t say much about it, but I do think that needs to be cleared up, because it wasn’t a white creator attacking a POC person. Misunderstanding. I’m not ignorant enough to say all POCs get along in the world, but people seemed to think it was a white person vs POC and that’s not the case. Onto the rest of it:
I noticed a couple people liking and then unliking my posts about the racial issues, though my last post received more engagement. I’m happy my point was made, because it is a serious issue within the POC community but so is the blatant racism and ignorance (as in actively ignoring it) when I talk about white creators purposely excluding people of color, and this is obviously not just amongst POCs.
It didn’t get a lot of reblogs or traction, but it got more than those other posts (this one will also follow in the lack of interaction), and POC readers see that. We see everyone agreeing with that point, being like YES!! POCs need to be more involved if they want representation, preach!! and then we see even more people being like OOP, she’s talking about white creators needing to not exclude people of color? Let me pretend I didn’t see it, scrolllll. Or even unfollow (which yes, I notice)💀
if you can reblog me saying not to hate on artists for drawing themselves in their fanart as the race they are, then you can easily reblog me telling white creators not to intentionally leave POC out of something that is meant to be a Reader (as in ANYONE reading it, including people of color) insert. same applies to other white creators who speak up about it, I notice their other posts get interacted with a lot more than the one in which they speak about the issue. and clearly, I’m not the only one who notices. it’s telling.
I’m not implicating everyone who reblogged that post, I’m aware some of you didn’t even follow me until then and some of you did reblog my other posts and some of you simply agreed with my point right then (I’m talking to the POCs specifically with that last post—that wasn’t a Dear White People post, it was to other POCs, but again, that got more interaction than anytime I address white creators—and yes, I am aware it’s not all of you—which shouldn’t be the case given how the majority of the fandom is white).
if this post makes you feel guilty, makes you wanna scroll past it and not think about how you wanna stay mum on the subject, you may want to think about why and how privileged you are to even be able to do so in the first place. we should all feel welcome here and there’s always a chance to right our wrongs (or in this case write our wrongs, heh :D ) 🩵
your POC friends and followers see you. they know what you’re doing. they do talk about it amongst each other, where they feel safe. don’t exclude them and let them down. make them feel safe with you. let them know they are. we don’t expect you to write black!reader, or Latinx!Reader, etc. because you’re not part of our groups so you can’t accurately depict us. we just want to read about reader. and not how they can’t step outside without getting a sunburn or tanning their pale skin. if you don’t wanna reblog my long ass posts then do something else. a simple “hey POC followers, you’re safe here” is a good start.
if for some reason, we’re not safe on your blog so you can’t say it, that’s uh, that’s real unfortunate. but also, maybe let everyone know that.
And to my friends who make sure their work is inclusive, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY BELOVED FRIENDS, thanks for letting me and a ton of other people who are scared and scarred from previous interactions over the years see ourselves in your fics 🥹❤️🔥

Art Raffle! naruto fanfic writers appreciation ! /round14
To note: THIS IS A NARUTO RAFFLE, I will not accept other fandoms
What you have to do to enter this raffle: REBLOG this post and…read the post ? XD You don’t need to be a follower. (though follows are highly appreciated, of course! <3) Just, again, please read the whole post. I don’t want people to ask me later to draw things that I’ve said below that I won’t draw.
How will I go about this:
I will collect all the people who reblogged this post and list them. Each of the participants will have a number which will be later drawn using random.org
The art I offer for this raffle will be based on fanfics. Meaning that the winner gets to pick a story of their own to which I will draw fanart of. If said winner does not write, they are free to pick their favorite story that is written by a different person. Even if you do write, you can still pick a different person’s story
I know some fanfic writers out there really appreciate art being based on their stories, so I’ve decided to do this little thing!
For those of you who neither write nor read, that’s too bad. But I might sometimes in the future make a raffle that is not like the ones I’ve usually held. So keep your head up~ (yo, seriously, please read the whole post if you really want to enter this raffle. I will know if you don’t. *glare*// tag “ficlove” in your tags when reblogging this post so I know you’ve actually went through w/ reading the post). If you are one of those people though, but know someone who writes you can sure give your winning prize to them. Be kind, do good.
Please don’t throw a 100k long fic at me, it will take me forever to read XD but if that’s just the fic you really want to get art for, go ahead. Just have in mind I’ll be extremely slow w/ reading it.
Characters I do NOT want to draw: Sakura, Sasuke, Orochimaru, anyone from team Taka, Baki, Tajima, Butsuma, TenTen, Kinkaku/Ginkaku, Danzo, Hiruzen, characters from the Boruto generation (they’re just characters I have 0 interest in;; nothing too personal) ( my commissions are open to these characters though; haha)

Some things I need to say about harmless and legal ships that are always disrespected and harassed by fandoms and Shipper Michikatsu x ex-wife need to respect other Kokushibo/Michikatsu ships(Except toxic, proship and comship)
This, I'm just talking about certain people, not everyone, if you're not one of them then ok and fine . First of all, I see a lot of people always harassing and commenting negative things about harmless and legal ships, including my ships, which can't escape it, even sending threats, I can't understand. Why can't you respect other people's ships? Maybe even ignore it instead of paying attention? Even harmless and legal ships are always slandered instead of toxic, proship and comship . This is quite funny, especially I see it a lot on Tik Tok and Pinterest .
Even harmless and legal ships are always called "forced", "This ship is so random" and "Why does this ship exist?"No one needs your opinion, let others ship what they want especially when it's harmless and legal like shipping Genmui, Uzuiren, Tanzen, Muinezu, Shinomitsu, Renshino, Rengiyuu, Saneoba, Kokunaki, Kokudou , Giyumitsu and etc. I almost see a lot of people attacking them but you support and ship ships like Uzuizen, Kokuaka, Douaka, Kokuzan, Michikatsu x ex-wife, Nakidaki, Giyuutan, Rentan, Doukoto, Doushino...so illogical . Do you know what that is called? That's hypocritical
Leave others alone!! You guys even leave stupid comments on the fanart of such ships like "They're just friends" or "They have no interaction" with Shinomitsu . No interaction??? So have you ever touched Fanbooks and Light Novels? Just friends? So what? that can't stop others from shipping them, even in real life there are many people who started out as friends and later became lovers. That's why other people ship them in a romantic way in AU! IT'S AU!!"Mitsuri is married to Obanai" ? Yes, that's in the next life and not in the previous life, no one ships Mitsuri with with anyone else in the next life, ok?
Tanzen, Genmui, Zenkana, Muinezu and .v.v. also needs to be respected, I see a lot of people hate this ship and I can't understand why . They are legal and harmless ships and you guys are crazy about ships like this??? So what is the meaning of this ship battle?
This is what I want to say the most about the Kokunaki and Kokudou ships, these are probably the two best ships of Kokushibo but they are harassed a lot and not respected especially in Shipper Michikatsu x ex-wife always comments "But Kokushibo has a wife and 2 kids" and "Everyone else please ship Michikatsu with his wife instead of with Nakime, Douma or anyone else" excuse me??? What? It's like you force others to follow your ideas and not have their own opinions and feelings
Not to mention some Michikatsu x ex-wife Shippers also treat people who are negative about the Michikatsu x ex-wife ship the same as people who hate the straight ship.
Ship Michikatsu x ex-wife is also very toxic because Michikatsu abandoned her and the children . Before meeting Yoriichi he described her and his children's with lives as "boring/meaningless" and always felt that they made his time pass very slowly, wow!! I see that almost many people ignore this and that no one in this world loves but feels that their lover's life is meaningless/boring and even feels that they make time pass very slow . If you say "He abandoned his wife and children because of blind jealousy" please excuse me again? Do you know how blindly jealous people work? While at first Michikatsu only wanted to be like Yoriichi, a blindly jealous person who would never want to be like anyone else but instead always wanted to be superior, Michikatsu would only be blinded by becoming the demon that was Kokushibo at that time he started wanting to surpass Yoriichi, even Fanbook 2 expressed this quite clearly and you should never make any excuses for this
If you're going to say "But he loves his wife because he said Blessed to her" Huh? you read the fandom's translated manga? In the original he doesn't say that . According to the original, he said "私は妻を娶り子供にも恵まれた "(わたしはつまをめとりこどもにもめぐまれた )➝ "I married a wife and Blessed with children" then Blessed with her is in where ? He just uses it for his children instead of her

So he never loved his ex-wife and If you say "If he didn't love her then why did he have a child with her?" So have you ever heard about the policy of maintaining descendants??That is also something that often happened and was extremely normal in ancient times in the Orient, Even if you yourself do not love your partner, you are still required to marry them and have children. If you refuse and do not comply, you will suffer severe consequences from your family and society. Their marriage is implied to be an arrangement by the father because the father is the only one happy about this while Michikatsu is not, this It is not surprising that in the era of Yoriichi and Michikatsu, arranged marriages by family or society regularly took place and everyone followed them. This was an important traditional culture of the time. That is also the Eastern countries in general . Love was never a priority in that era, in many cases, even marriage in ancient times was often considered a sham, where maintaining the bloodline and descendants were often placed above all else run out of .The main purpose of marriage may not be for love but to preserve the family line, property, or even for social benefit. Perhaps the exceptions are Yoriichi and Uta . As for Sumiyoshi and Suyaka, I'm not sure . In short, arranged marriages in ancient times were very common and it was also an extremely important culture embedded there, which is also the reason why there are many toxic marriages and not happy .
This is no offense, but the fact that Michikatsu abandoned his wife and children and never even intended to return makes me wonder how his ex-wife will live when she has to take care of and raise two children alone ? In that era, no woman became a single mother
In ancient times, in traditional Japanese society, being a single mother was not a common or highly valued choice. Women are often expected by society to get married, have children and raise children in a warm and stable family. Becoming a single mother often faces many difficulties and pressures from society, because the responsibility of raising children is often considered the shared responsibility of both parents.
Becoming a single mother is not a common choice or goal that women set. Traditional societies often place a strong emphasis on family values and the role of each family member, and raising children is often considered the shared responsibility of both parents. Women often want to have a warm and stable family, and being a single mother is often not considered an ideal goal or choice in traditional society. Even Michikatsu never visited them after becoming a demon hunter, never remembered them, and never kept any mementos related to them and have you ever thought about what the consequences would be for Michikatsu's ex-wife after being abandoned by Michikatsu? In ancient times, if women were abandoned by their husbands, they often faced criticism and contempt from their family and surrounding society. The fact that a woman is abandoned by her husband can be considered a loss of integrity, unable to maintain family happiness, and cause shame to her family and relatives is "The Failed Wife". In a traditional society, this can lead to loss of face and social isolation for abandoned women, leading to great mental and psychological pressure. In traditional society that , a woman's abandonment could result in the loss of her reputation and prestige. Men are often appreciated for their loyalty and family responsibility, while women are often pressured to maintain happiness and stability in the family. Therefore, if a woman is abandoned, she may face disdain and condemnation from society, leading to the loss of reputation and status in the community. This can cause many difficulties and challenges for women in daily life. Just as I'm pretty sure Michikatsu's ex-wife endured all of this, I feel like forcing her to ship with Michikatsu makes me feel even worse for her and it's like slapping her in the face, I'd rather leave her alone, some people call the Michikatsu x ex-wife ship "best ship" means you guys need help too . I don't forbid you from shipping them, but for you to denounce and slander Michikatsu/Kokushibo's other ships, Kokudou and Kokunaki, while your ship itself is more toxic than those two ships, you should keep quiet and ignore it instead of smearing other people's ships . At least, Kokunaki and Kokudou have more reasons to ship, have better dynamism and motivation. Kokunaki is the only straight Kokushibo ship that I respect and support . Even though they don't interact, that doesn't mean it's bad . Both Kokunaki and Kokudou have my care
Some Michikatsu x ex-wife Shippers even support Doukoto, Kokuaka and Douaka ships? It's ridiculous and hypocritical
Michikatsu is not only jealous of Yoriichi but he also admires Yoriichi at that time in the words of Michikatsu's inner monologue "私はその強さと剣技をどうしても" (わたしはそのつよさとけんぎをどうしても ) it will The most accurate and meaningful translation is "I couldn't help but admire his swordsmanship and strength" That's why he initially just wanted to be like Yoriichi
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fe40c86585fd3e7b1a33949d7db52edf/92e0f2d5ebf3e829-17/s540x810/e1154a8cebece5bc123a20bd173a2b2cf3fd11dd.jpg)
And abandoning them had nothing to do with blind jealousy as much as Michikatsu himself found a new path for fulfilling his dream of becoming the strongest Samurai and also as he himself searched for the meaning of life and marriage was never what he wanted and his marriage was not stable from the beginning. Even fanbook 2 emphasized that the only person in Michikatsu/Kokushibo's heart is Yoriichi as Michikatsu himself only has family love without any kind of romantic love at all throughout the series.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3ac7d6753436323802e76b8171060671/92e0f2d5ebf3e829-73/s540x810/8a8ab154f39954ae62abef43dd684823c3909fbf.jpg)
In addition, over time, his wife and children were no longer alive, so now Kokushibo has no wife or children, according to the law, which is also very clear for those who no longer have a spouse and children so let other people ship Kokushibo with anyone else if they want and Shipper Michikatsu x ex-wife stop attacking Kokushibo's other ships . Harassing other people's ships is not a smart or mature thing to do . Remember, it's just "SHIP" even if you're a fan, you should respect it and ignore it, it's not difficult, you can still block if you feel uncomfortable but don't make harassing or hateful comments. It only gives you headaches, more discomfort and doesn't solve anything
Also, those Michikatsu x ex-wife Shippers who say that "this ship is canon because they are both married" should stop spreading this false information, being married does not mean there is love/romance or canon. And even if out there, do you see many canon couples without marriage? Let's look at the typical example of Hakukoyu, they are not married yet but they are still canon and they only got married in AU Kimetsu Gakuen(Regarding Hakukoyu, I'm only talking about KNY, not Kimetsu Gakuen) , so let's say, is "marriage" important in the canon couple? Definitely not, "Marriage" is just an appearance, the important thing for the canon couple is the connection and love on both sides, just as Gotouge Koyoharu has never declared or created a connection or romance between Michikatsu and his ex-wife, nor like this ship was never canon . At the same time, the canon couple is never a toxic and unhealthy relationship . I hope that the Shipper Michikatsu x ex-wife community will be kind and learn to respect instead of being rude and cursing other people's ships. Doing so is like you are smearing mud on your own ships as well. Don't blame why many people will hate your ship in the future. Also, don't mischaracterize Michikatsu/Kokushibo. I see the majority of the Michikatsu x ex-wife Shipper community misdescribe Michikatsu/Kokushibo the most.
(Somewhat bit unrelated)
Next, I saw some people calling Michikatsu's ex-wife "Her name is Haruhime, a fact if you don't know" and what? When was her name confirmed by Gotouge? It seems like you guys like taking fanon to become canon, right? Oh my god... That name is just the name of an OC on AO3 to ship with Kokushibo, I don't know who took it and gave it to Michikatsu's ex-wife??? Also don't call her by her name Haruhime like that is official name of her
The funniest thing is that some people are so obsessed with Michikatsu's ex-wife that when they see fanart of Akeno everywhere, they always call out "Oh my god! Haruhime" and "Haruhime is so beautiful" even you Nakime say called like that
Let me ask, what is it about Michikatsu's ex-wife that is worthy of being appreciated? She has almost nothing, I really don't understand you guys and how "beautiful" is Michikatsu's ex-wife when she never even reveals her face? Have you ever felt that this is really strange???
What always annoys me is when Michikatsu x ex-wife Shippers comment things in Kokunaki like "This ship is cute butttt now let's ship Kokushibo with his wife" lmao? Are you force others to ship toxic things?
"Kokushibo sees his wife in Nakime" ? Mentally abusing others is a problem, ok? It's very toxic and not normal, if anyone likes it and finds it cool then you are the problem and need help.
Also about Sanegiyuu, it's not a bad or toxic ship, yes, I agree at first Sanemi hated Giyuu but that was just "before" not now or until the end it's still like that, Both have become harmonious After the final battle, do you ignore this or not read the manga? even before that happened, Giyuu had intentions of getting along/becoming close friends with Sanemi(I don't ship Sanegiyuu)
This is what I want to say and I know what you will think, if you want, please talk to me directly and text me, and don't hide under the bed to take screenshots of my posts to accuse me behind my back, I don't have time for that. I also hope that this fandom can get better and that the fandom stops being toxic

Hey!! This is the anon from a while back who had that convo with you about quirkless discrimination with your cannon vs fannon posts. The one who sent a way too long ask haha.
I still haven’t picked back up BNHA, just still dinking around in the earlier seasons with my writing after dropping it so long ago due to the exact reason you outlined; I stopped watching due to a certain character stagnating while saying they’re changing. Which I find amusing how prevalent that problem is in so many arcs that it’s the reason I stopped watching the show actual years ago (though not solely, it was that + a combination of other things with that arc but it really exasperated it) and you’re now talking about the same exact issue for the end of it. I don’t even feel like I can say it’s due to external pressures rather then just a weak point of the writer at this point tbh.
But, besides that, on the topic of why I initially started this ask, I just wanted to say it’s interesting to hear the story has still done squat with quirklessness, really goes to show the whole glaring divide in exactly what we where talking about so long ago. Full circle kinda?? It really is such a shame the show never went into it and kinda failed to scratch the surface of anything with how compelling it would have been and how easily it could have tied into the whole of the series’ themes.
But hey, like you said, there’s always fanfics. Just thought I’d send in an ask about it since it was fun talking to you about it last time.
Now that it’s over, I might give the show another shot, for old times sake, we’ll see!
Oh as an add on, as the fannon vs cannon anon, I do want to put a note that since I haven’t seen the thing myself I’m not making too strong opinions on it or agreeing with everything in that post, just contemplating the specific stuff I talked about in that previous anon ask as a sort of now outsider to the series.
This isn’t a “oh you’re wrong!” but making sure people know I’m not blindly following things I’ve read about a series rather then forming opinions around it from first hand cannon, HA! I’ll do that when I maybe start watching it again…one day…
-
(The post under discussion)
Hello again! Glad you're still enjoying the fandom space and haha, it's ironic that this issue is why you dropped the show. I'm also going to caveat that I'm not trying to dunk on Horikoshi or be a bitter hater. The issues I'm bringing up are par for the course for most serial writing, way harder to avoid than they seem. I really liked MHA overall and have huge respect for Horikoshi's writing, art, and ability to keep his sanity while bringing this behemoth to life.
Anyway, a response.
I mentioned a few aspects where quirklessness got brought in later in the story, but overall, yeah, it still felt kind of… vestigial. To me it felt like the author threw it out there at first thinking it was a cool idea, then later went "ugh, shit, that's not actually where I want to focus. I can't retcon it, so let's just... minimize it and move on." A lot of times when big series start, they toss out a whole bunch of possible story hooks and then narrow down to just a few that they're actually going to spend serious time on... anyone who gets hooked on a premise that doesn't end up being developed further can be left feeling disappointed.
I suspect this is exactly the reason why MHA has such a giant fandom. The show's clown-car cast means that pretty much no character really gets "deep" treatment. Instead we get 1,000 tantalizing flashes of really, really cool possibilities. We get sucked in by an awesome idea, get frustrated when the cool character/premise barely gets touched again after that, and then feverishly fill the empty space with fanfic and fanart. (I'm lucky that my favorites, Izuku and All Might, were about the most main of main characters, and even they felt somewhat shallow. I can't imagine the agony of being, say, a Momo fan.)
Unfortunately when a story does this, it also means that it's inevitably going to disappoint its fanbase. It tossed out 1,000 awesome ideas but it only has space to cultivate a small handful of those into proper plotlines… not only is it sad to see all the unused plot threads peter out, but usually the realized story ends up outright contradicting at least a few very popular fan theories and hopes. This doesn't mean the story's bad, far from it. But in these weekly-chapter stories where fans have years or decades to get attached to their interpretations and predictions, praying each week that yes, it seems like a long shot, but maybe the story will veer off into X… things quickly spiral into enormous bitterness when those decades of hope are finally snuffed out for good. (This same phenomenon makes me dread the eventual end of One Piece…)
MHA had a lot of people going "it's not like other shonen!" because it had lots of promising ideas. But it turned out that… yes, it is just another shonen. Shonen are tons of fun, and I love MHA overall. But man, it got hit hard by those high expectations.
I was a bit harsh (and incorrect) in my post, saying Izuku/All Might haven't changed at ALL, and that quirklessness meant NOTHING. It gets outright confusing when there are characterization backsies like the ones I described. Which is canon: the single panel where a character says "quirklessness is a big deal to me!" or the way that every other character behavior and plot point screams "sure doesn't seem like it"? They're both real. And this discrepancy depends on the reader's interpretation too: I'm extremely picky about characterization, while someone less anal might not see any contradiction at all. So we get All Might fans insisting that the show made quirkless issues into a huge enormous part of the plot/characters, and meanwhile I don't see it, and get annoyed and preachy because it feels like the narrative is being unfairly ascribed depth and profundity that I really wanted but never actually saw from it. How dare!
ANYWAY, I highly recommend checking out the rest of the show. I have a feeling the final arc is going to look amazing in animated form once it's finally done. The final section is a combo of delightfully over-the-top shonen insanity and surprisingly weighty outcomes. We can debate whether it really earned those outcomes, but I'm at least pleased that it tried.

Hey, feel free to ignore, but I was just curious... In your tags for a post (about how showrunners cancel shows or "bully" fan-fav characters when their audience turns out to be mostly women), you mentioned that Bourassa initially killed off Reynauld, but then brought him back in the DLC due to demand/money. Where was the Reynault death mentioned? How was he supposed to die?
It's the first I've heard of it; then again, I don't keep up with the DD fandom that frequently haha
hello hello! thank you for the interesting ask, and no, i won't ignore it, don't worry ^^
Rey's death was looking like fridging, at least, to me. his disembodied helmet was all over the promotion material, for example:
or the art bourassa drew to congratulate people with... was it christmas? i think it was christmas
and the pattern continued. Rey's chopped off helmet was in backgrounds, dropped somewhere with corpses, and he wasn't one of the starting cast - *despite* the fact that crusader has the //most// backer heroes of any class in DD1, sitting at proud 64 (compared to maa who is in second place and only has 32). so... the demand for crusader was loud and clear.
but crusaders were all wiped out in dd2, suspiciously. at best, we have some shambling corpses (with neat designs, not denying that) but still. dd2 (unless they changed the voicelines) notes how crusaders were all killed off "long ago" (one of the reasons i saw dd2 as a spinoff or some what-if, since there is our boy Dis, and he canonically met at least one, so either Dis is still a vampire, or timeline doesn't make any sense... but i digress).
the last nail in the coffin for me personally was the fact that they put Rey's chopped off helmet as an obscured detail in the "and they lived happily ever after" epilogue:
again, it was placed where you wouldn't naturally look - because your eyes traced the light source and Junia having someone to hold hands with, and then follow the camera movement to Dis (unless you were reading subtitles, but then again, then you'd be focused on the words themselves, not on what was behind them).
to me, this was a loud and clear message: this is the most you'll get out of the crusader. his head, dropped somewhere on the wayside. he will not be back, stop pestering us.
but then, i guess, the game wasn't doing so hot monetarily, so... they got him and dragged him back, shoving him and his crusader plotline in a world which established that the crusaders "all were not seen for hundreds of years". which, again - how is Rey still alive, how the hell Dis knows him, what is the passage of time in this game-- okay, i stop, i already feel my blood pressure rising, sorry.
the reason why i bring the suspicion of the game not doing too well financially is a) ridiculous price of the DLC, based on the amount of content it provides, clearly geared to fleece people who wanted their reymas all along and b) RH got sold to Behaviour Interactive; pay-walling crusader looked like a way to grab cash while struggling to avoid acquisition, and their decision to now ship other characters from previous cast (using the same model of payment from the looks of it) tangentially supports this suspicion
sorry for lack of my usual links and sources, but i'm so disappointed with this game (and the fuckery RH pulled with their fanart contest) that i genuinely don't want to acknowledge its existence and to me personally it was tragically cancelled during development. this is the way i cope with the way RH butchered characters in dd2.
it doesn't mean i wouldn't want to talk about it if you have more questions ^^ but my attitude towards the thing is... not very positive, i'll be honest

Can you do more with player!reader x Marauder? Maybe something with Marauder learning about the players life during battle, and being surprised about there being a fandom (and the "humiliating" art of the slayer) I have seen enough catboy doomslayer to last a lifetime. Pretty sure he'd get a kick out of fanart and memes.
Bonus if the reader is an artist and finds a way to show the Marauder their own art of him.
"So in your world...you--this game..has its own cult following?"
"We call it a "fandom", Marmar-"
"Do not call me that."
"..okay, Marauder. But yes." You nodded to the screen, having the Doomslayer chainsaw through one of the zombies that spawned into the room, granting you extra ammo. Then you had him dash to evade the glowing orange wolf that the Marauder summoned, finishing it off with a shotgun round.
Yes, you were indeed communicating with one of the toughest enemies in the game Doom Eternal--who so-happened to be aware that he is a video game character and knows he's destined to respawn every time you entered the final room in the ARC Complex level for his boss battle.
And he now sees that the Slayer was merely a vessel controlled by you.
Instead of getting too freaked out, you struck up a small friendship with this Marauder. Why wouldn't you? He was your favorite demon of all the ones you've encountered.
He was curious about your world--one that he quickly learned that not even the Maykrs themselves could reach--so you've been explaining small things about it, although the subject of how others of your kind perceived him and Doom Eternal as a whole.
That's when you mentioned the fandom and online following it had.
"It's more than just this one, though, the fandom goes back as far as the first Doom game released in 1993."
"It's...that old? How fascinating.." The Marauder was intrigued.
"Yeah, it's come a long way from being a simple shooter game. It was the first one ever created, in fact, and it paved the way for more like it."
"And then it became Eternal about three years ago?"
"Precisely."
"I see. Are there other versions of me in previous---GRRAH!!" As a stray bullet suddenly flew towards him, he brought up his shield and scowled. "Are you trying to catch me off guard, mortal?"
"No, I promise." You shook your head, before adjusting the mic connected to your headset. "To answer you...no. You're unique only to this game. And to be honest, you became quite a hot topic for debates in the community."
"Is that so?" Taking a pause, Marauder lowered his shield, red eyes narrowing at the Doomslayer and whatever skin you chose to use this time around. He was always amused by what your vessel looked like, be it the menacing Praetor skin or the ridiculous Doomicorn. "Let us pause our duel. Elaborate."
"...okay, um....ah, how do I say this without sounding like a jerk..." You mumbled to yourself, before looking back at the screen. "Some people think your attack methods "ruin" the flow of the game...and before you get mad, Doom was always known for just shooting demons and moving on. They whine about it being too "complicated" now, but I like what you brought to the table: you give us a true challenge."
"Of course..I only bring the toughest challenge. Lest they forget, Marauders were amongst the Sentinels in legion with the Slayer...so I ought to be a worthy enemy. One that players shan't forget." He chuckled, grabbing the head of a zombie who had the misfortunate of spawning right next to him. "Nothing like these...simple-minded corpses. They're forgettable. So easily crushed by a simple action."
With one squeeze, its head disintegrated into a bloody pulp before it collapsed to the ground, despawning.
"But not me."
"Right." You were surprised he could do that, but you shrugged it off. "All debates aside...I think you'd get a kick out of all the art this fandom has made, too."
"Art, you say? Let me guess..they're all tributes to the Slayer? Covered in blood? Scorching fire and relentless rage in his eyes? Standing over mountains of demonic corpses?" He scoffed.
"...some of that, and a lot of catboy pictures and maid outfits."
".....what is a "cat-boy"?"
Oh no.
This was taking quite the awkward turn.
"Let's. just say there's a lot of degrading and humiliating stuff about him, and god, don't even get me started on the fanfiction.." You shuddered a little, although hearing Marauder's deep chuckle made you refocus on him, seeing him sit on the stairs.
"This has enlightened me..oh, what I would give to see such humiliation with my own eyes. The great and mighty Slayer, reduced to a-"
"There's art of you, too."
He blinked. "Me? I, too, have left that much of an impact on your "fandom"?"
"Oh for sure! People love your voice, and uh...your physique."
"...they like this..hideous rotted body of mine?" He put a hand to his chest, taking all of this information in. "It's merely a husk of what I once was..before I was denied an honorable death."
"Yeah, well..at least your abs stayed with you." You joked.
"Glad to hear I am somewhat admired among your species. But am I subjected to the same degradation?"
"Sorta..on a lesser scale."
"........"
"But it's not all bad! I've actually made some cool art of you looking completely badass!" You hastily mentioned before he could get too upset. "Since you're my favorite demon, of course I had to. Wish I could show it to you somehow.."
"Not to worry." He sounded relieved. "I'm grateful to be idolized in some world, if not my own."
"Right--hey!" Distracting by your chitchat, you failed to see the zombie take a slash at the Slayer, and in revenge you made him do a Blood Punch to regain the health he lost. "I forgot we're supposed to be fighting."
"You wish the Slayer's "Blood Punches" worked on me.." The Marauder teased, rising up and scraping his axe against the ground. "Now shall we continue? Perhaps..you could let me have this win?"
"...I would, but I have over ten extra lives in my inventory and I'd hate to waste them." You smiled awkwardly, watching his expression grow frustrated.
"What..? Now how is that fair?" He growled. "True warriors don't get second chances. Are you using those "cheat codes"?"
"No. I found them all on my own. No cheats here."
"Hmph...well said, human. Now let us fight."

Okay, I don't think many people care but I want to clarify something. I cleaned up my blog and left only my own art (and out of stupidity I accidentally deleted some of my own pieces, I will be in mourning because very kind people had really left me comments that really cheered me up and I'm gonna miss them, but that's a a whole ottertopic, I'll probably make a couple of posts at some point to compile the pieces I accidentally deleted and bring them back to this part of the internet. jsjjs).
I didn't have any bad intentions with this, I made the mistake of using what was previously my personal fandom account (and even worse than without any specific fandom, I only reblogged things about all the things I like) and that mixed it up with my art account. For this stopped feeling comfortable deliberately reblogging everything cause my mind said: "oh, These people probably only follow me for my fanarts of those specific fandoms or because they confused me with a fandom blog, this must look like very annoying random spam, cause, I mean, what does that random anime have to do with my previous fanarts? nothing, don't reblog that random thing then so as not to bother them"
This was giving me totally irrational anxiety, so yes, from now on this will be a blog about my own art, Of course, my art is about fandoms, I only have a couple of ocs abandoned there, but you undertand what I mean jsjsj
To my mutuals I just want to tell you that I love you very much and that I will be creating a new blog to spam you with love again and also to spam my stuff without feeling guilty jsjsjs... probably, let's face it, I'm really lazy, but that doesn't mean I love you any less. See you <3

One of Fran’s follower’s here. Just want to give a heads up that I’m not siding with that anon at all, why they’re harassing a teenager and their moot is beyond me, but I do have a question out of genuine curiosity.
If you don’t mind me asking, I wanted to know why you are/were interested in a show like South Park. The show is full of racist, transphobic, ableist, queerphobic, etc humor, it makes light of serious topics, and has a lot of gross scenes involving their child characters. I’m pretty sure the show has also used slurs they cannot reclaim multiple times.
I dunno. I’m just having a hard time understanding why someone might find enjoyment in a show like that, and wanted to ask you properly rather than what that anon is doing by harassing Fran for something they’re not even a part of.
I just opened Tumblr, man.....
I answered that a long time ago but I'll just repeat myself
First, I DON'T support any of the messages or actions of the show such as problematic topics, racism, transphobic, celebrity ridicule etc, I just joined the fandom because the characters seemed very welcoming to me and just enjoyed the ones that were mostly focused on the characters themselves
I'll be honest with you I haven't watched the WHOLE show ( total 15-16 seasons out of 26 ) and skipped a lot of episodes that are straight-up uncomfortable and bad
I tend to try new stuff, it's really not that deep, it's just the same thing as people who enjoy Family Guy, American Dad etc
So yeah, I don't blame you all for not liking the show because, well it's SOUTH PARK but harassing my moot over it is not cool so you all should stop
Do I still like South Park? Yeah, does it really matter?? No, because that anon should mind their own business, I do it out of enjoyment and to have some gigs for myself, Cringe?? The whole fandom has its own history bro so yeah I'm not surprised people seem to be confused and cringed ( as any normal human being reaction lol ) and yeah expect me to draw more cringe fanart or even animations
But again please DO NOT ATTACK OTHERS FOR HAVING AN ISSUE THAT IS ABOUT ME and straight up say whatever you want in my face so we can discuss it together
It just embarrassing the fact that I just befriended that Moot not really long time ago and this is what they got as a first impression on me
Having a beef with a 17 y.o teen out of the blue just to harass someone you don't like is hilarious, pick up a struggle dude
But thanks for asking politely, anon !! :]

Hey! Not sure if i can do this cause it’s not really a confession but you must be pretty involved in the snape fandom so you might have seen what i’m talking about. Basically it was a fanart about how severus’ hair length changed from year to year during his hogwarts education and i saw it once and haven’t been able to find it since 😭
If you know could you give me directions on where to find it? Or if you don’t at least this please for help will hopefully be seen by people who might help me.
Tysm for your time!
Before anyone beats me for it, I am not ignoring the previous confessions, I am just a little busy.
I don't recall coming across that particular artwork so I will open your question to this page's followers - they may know !!!
Thank you for reaching out !
