childhood friend!sugu vs childhood friend!toru

YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE .

thank you for saying this anon i’ve been thinking of it a lot actually. i’m morally and legally binded to choose childhood friend!sugu no matter what because he’s literally……. my favorite Ever. and i think the inherent devotion of the childhood friend trope blends soooo well with his natural devotion. his protective urges. etcetc. i have wayyyy too many thoughts about childhood friend!sugu 😭 but it mostly boils down to him wanting to be by your side forever. he wants to make you happy and he wants to protect you and he knows you so well that he doesn’t trust anyone else to love you like he can. he’s selfish and he wants you to lean on him more than he wants anything for himself.

childhood friend!toru though….. i feel like he would be your estranged childhood friend. that makes most sense to me :3 like, you met when you were really really young, and ended up playing together in an empty park. he was a brat, kind of quiet, and you were just sweet, y’know? you were the closest thing to a friend he had as a child. then you ended up moving away, he never got to say goodbye… and you meet again as adults. you don’t remember him — it was just so, so long ago — but he remembers you. he remembers you a little too well.

so now you just kinda have to deal with this tall, handsome, cheery man who keeps talking to you like you’re best friends even though you literally don’t remember him…. he’s sweet though. a little annoying, but sweet. he has a soft spot for you. i think having anything remotely close to a childhood friend makes him feel human in a way he can’t help but crave.

sooooo. overall!!! both are good :3 i will always be a childhood friend!sugu truther before anything else but childhood friend!toru has sm potential..

Hey!! So turns out a video I made between a certain “well beloved but highly sensitive/emotionally reactive T.V” and an “orange haired inkling-turned-human” has managed to sweep my YouTube channel and accumulate 100k VIEWS!! THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY?? My most widely viewed video EVER to exist in this moment in time?? AAAAA?? Not even mentioning the various comments and staggering increase in subs! It’s so much more then what I expected or even prepared for—might even be the most impactful thing to happen for me this year <3

…aside from graduating high school + the social connections I’ve been fortunate to make lol

BUT THE POINT IS I’d been closely monitoring the YouTube growth through the entirety of October. It’s make me smile like a dork, gawk in astonishment, dance frantically in my room from the energy boosts, and grow courage to stop being so selective/self-conscious with what I wish to share with the world! It’s kept my ambitions going!

I needed to find some way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanks—because I can’t NOT acknowledge this milestone jksjskp. Typically I try to avoid getting tunnel visioned focusing on the metrics/numbers. Mr. Puzzles had already demonstrated how much those things can mess with the minds of creatives. Caring too much about chasing views or placing your artistic value in attention seeking gets damaging. But at same time…it’s hard to deny the sense of pride the 100k achievement has filled me with. I understand that reaching 100k views doesn’t immediately make me any “better” or “worse” then I was before. I’m still just me! It only helps me feel seen by others—and that’s all I really needed. To hear some nice words & receive reminders that my ideas are cared about. So thank you SMG4 fandom for that, seriously thank you.

Please accept this Mr. Puzzle drawing as a way of sharing the happiness around. He’s so entertaining. Love him for simply existing. So glad we can all collectively be super attached to him (and the rest of the SMG4 cast of course). Can’t wait to see more incredible artworks from the fandom :)

Just incase anyone is confused by my vague description over which “animated video” I’m referring to here—hopefully this photo will help clarify lol. It’s this one!! Sorry about not outright stating the title at the start, I got carried away with writing!!

I’ve been in an odd place mentally when thinking about it. Wondering to myself if any of the attention is deserved considering it’s not even fully colored and could be dismissed as “low effort” content (despite taking several days making it). It’s easy to get into a trap of comparing yourself to others and questioning how much of the videos success is based on your skills, sheer algorithm luck, or only because you used popular characters and catered to a specific fandom. And then judging yourself by looking at other peoples videos. I’ve seen several artists post higher quality works then my own but it somehow gets less views. So why did mine succeed when others (who should have gotten just as much attention if not more) didn’t? Sometimes you feel like you’ve unfairly robbed them of that chance to be seen. However I’ve realized that I can’t ever expect views to be consistent—and comparing is pointless. So why worry about it or feel inadequate? I mean it’s pretty common for funny cat videos to go viral, so who am I to question the system lol. “Popular” YouTube videos can range from a passion project which took 7+ artists…to a clip of Toad singing Chandelier or a nonsensical Vine sketch. Anything can happen when it’s the internet! And just-so-happened my video was chosen. I should stay glad about that and get rid of all the overanalyzing. So that’s what I’ve chosen to do :)

That was all @existing-is-bothersome

(Even if was a attempt to prove they are superior to me in the kitchen)

Psst hey how does Tangy react to surprise gifts? Also Chuu! Because I said so!

Tangy gets so !!!!!! Cos you thought about her and got her something 🥹 (she’s a pick-up kinda hugger, I think, sometimes more excited about the person who gave her something than the thing itself, at least at first)

Then she also worries she forgot some kinda holiday/event/her own birthday (I SHOULDA GOTTEN SOMETHIN FOR YOU TOO >:0!!!! STAY THERE… HOLD ON…) (she is rifling through her things to gift something nice in return !!! Even if it’s like. Aetherically preserved hairpiece flowers or some of the snacks she’d been saving for later lol)

Chuu …. If you want to surprise Chuu with something you gotta make sure she’s paying attention, otherwise she just. Doesn’t realize. She’s like that emotionally distant parent that kinda goes ‘that’s nice honey’ if she’s distracted by something. (Though I sincerely believe if you dropped a little mechanical toy on her workbench as a surprise gift, no boxes or ribbons she’d grill you with a thousand questions on its origin, take it apart, put it back together but now it does something it couldn’t before, and then look SO pleased with herself. She likes Mechanical Puzzles.)

…. I think she also has a sincere concern that, for some reason, SOMEONE would attempt a mail-in assassination via explosive gift box.

Last post before I crash and no-one hears from me until I return from my first final the morrow’s eve (a changed man no doubt) but there’ll never be anything funnier to me than consistently being viewed as a composed and calm saviour by peers while I’m, actively and uncontrollably losing it.

ok so scar thought dnd and magic the gathering was the same thing,

and so ren being the biggest magic nerd ran over to explain the difference and scar said he was actually pretty intrigued by the idea of playing dnd

SCAR SCAR SCAR DO IT FOR US DO IT DO IT DO IT MAKE IT HAPPEN GRIAN AND MUMBO WILL DO ANYTHING YOU ASK…….. scar playing dnd…….. imagine him using a Ranger class…….. hotguy… but he gets the taako from taz treatment so instead of hotguy it’s like. Awtgoiy and it’s pronounced the same HAGEHAGE

[wisteria-html]

Not to be parasocial myself but I doubt Mavis would not want to be your friend. You're also cool, smart and do witchy things.

This. Genuinely hit me hard in a weird way? Like having it put so bluntly was really good for me so. Thank you.

[fritzes]

Just to say that I adore your spy tennis AU. It's the best sincaraz out there imo!

oh wow that is HIGH praise, thank you!

Making memes instead of crying because I went to Ghazan’s school of coping with depression

(Context, because apparently not everyone is aware of the intricacies of the multiverse of madness @katkastrofa and I created together:

In my main fic verse, SotRL, Bolin will end up really close friends with Midori, Mingzan’s daughter, to the point that they begin considering each other siblings. Ghazan’s rather fond of the kid, who treats him as literally the coolest man in existence and begs to learn lavabending from him, and Bolin REALLY needs a positive father figure in his life, and Midori is already his sister, so… one thing leads to another, Ghazan is Bolin’s dad now. And Ming-Hua is a lot more neutral on Bolin but she sees how much her partner and daughter like having him around, so eventually warms up too. She’s not the most maternal with him, probably calls him ‘son boy’ the way people on here do with kittens [because that is HILARIOUS to me. fucking sue me if you don’t like it], but she likes him well enough. Of course, this all raises the question of Mako, who happens to be… not on the best of terms with this family, Ming-Hua in particular, especially after Book 3…)

@windblown-cecilia

I forgot I made the give me a characters outfit to draw myself in and I opened my ibis paint and then was wonderfully jump scared by myself in the Madoka outfit and I hope you know it scared me so bad because I don’t wear anything close to that. You gave me a reason to jumpscare myself.

(This is my practice sketch)
