Keep reading for more info!!

Hello there! thank you for checking out my blog!

You can call me Spice or whatever name works for you! I'm 20 years old and go by He/him or They/them.

I’m a dude who tries to have fun and draw, I love sharing my artwork and notes are always greatly appreciated! I tend to go quiet sometimes due to my anxiety disorder and often being tired, so keep that in mind if I haven't posted in a minute.

I absolutely love receiving asks, please send them to me. It can be about anything you want, people tend to enjoy sending asks to Pikmin characters and my ocs.

I will start doing text answers as well! because honestly there is too many for me to answer them all hahah... Oops-

I also have a bad case of obsessing over stuff at random so um... be prepared for that

That being said there are a few things that will most likely be re occurring in some way or another...

Pikmin OFC

Undertale/Deltarune

Pokemon

Fire emblem

Portal

I also draw oc content!

This is a Safe For Work blog, that being said there might be some depictions of violence such as blood or wounds. I also tend to swear sometimes.

Pssssttt I also take commissions! more info in my carrd!!

(I tend to keep commissions between 18+ users!)

Also if you wish to speak with me I'd prefer you read my 'Before Contacting' segment in my Carrd, but pretty much it's just basic stuff about being respectful.

I also have a few alts!!

@spicereblogs @wearenotevil

Huge shout out to fanartists in general, but especially this one type. I'm talking about the type of fanartists with what feels like the passion of several fans combined, who draw so much art of their niche favorite characters. That sort of passion and devotion, as well as a desire to see more content of these characters, is something I've just got to respect.

I'm thinking of a couple different groups/artists with this post. First, there are my mutuals who draw Ame Orphan fanart, especially @succikko-nebulae . Seriously, you guys always draw good stuff, and not a lot of folks draw Nagato's real body (not the Paths of Pain) or Yahiko.

Secondly, and I can not remember this account's name for the life of me, there was this Japanese (IIRC) fan artist who drew a lot of fanart of Sheldon from Splatoon back when the first game was still new. Sheldon isn't a very popular character in this game since he has a tendency to ramble on about stuff, but for some reason he was one of my favorite characters.

This fanartist was drawing like, a crazy amount of this character. I just had to respect it, and I visited the blog often. Sadly, I didn't have a tumblr account at the time, and I stopped looking at Splatoon stuff for a long while, so I forgot the name of the artist and IDK if they are still out there.

Anyways, point is, shout out to devoted fan artists for niche characters. Gotta be one of my favorite genders, as the meme goes.

[sparkylurkdragon]

I will be honest and say that I think being magnetically drawn to works destined for small fanbases makes it hard for me to get into this mindset well enough to offer advice. So, let me talk about how I approach fandom instead, and maybe some of my philosophy and experience will be helpful.

Like I said, most of my fandoms are tiny, as a consequence of the kind of works I find meaningful and fun. I read and play a lot of xenofiction, and I play a lot of offbeat indie passion projects. My favourite works tend to be offbeat xenofiction (at the very least furry) videogames. And aside from that, I read a lot of nonfiction and, when my executive function lets me, watch a lot of documentaries. Even when I do play more popular games and write fic/draw art for them, I'm often doing weird things with them because that's what I find interesting.

That said, I'm fairly comfortable with saying I'm a Big Name Fan for Ecco the Dolphin. At least, that's the sense I get by how many people recognise me when I poke my head into conversations about the series, or how I've done things over the years like start its Wikipedia and TV Tropes pages, and how I stand as one of the most prolific fanfic authors and fanartists in the fandom.

Ecco is one of those aforementioned weird xenofiction games. It is, I would hazard to say, the Weird Xenofiction Game, the granddaddy of many in some form or another. It's popular enough, but it's no Super Mario Bros. or even Pikmin. It's old, it's difficult, it's strange. My kind of thing.

I didn't set out to become a BNF Ecco fan. I just love my weird dolphin game so much that I have had a lot to say about it over the years, and it turns out other folks want to listen. It happened organically by me never shutting up about this thing I like.

I get feeling lonely when you post something you worked hard on and it seems there's nothing but crickets. I've been there. But give it time. Sooner or later, someone will be thrilled to see it.

And hey, at the end of the day, I try to make sure my work has at least one fan: me. Other people enjoying the things my brain dishes out is a nice bonus.

my biggest obstacle as a writer is that i desperately want to be a popular and well-known fic author, but my main fic inspiration comes from characters most fans don’t want to read fic for, or ideas that go against popular fanon/characterization and so are doomed from the start. i end up feeling paralyzed and like i can’t write the unpopular ideas I want to write, because i hate knowing i could have done better by writing something with broader appeal. but whenever i try to write solely for numbers i lose motivation while the halfway through the fic. so i end up unable to write anything and feeling miserable because of it.

i want to see my unpopular ideas come to life, but i don’t want to see my fics crash and burn and keep missing the chance to create fic that people really love. so most times, i don’t write anything, but i hate that i’m so hamstrung by my own anxieties. i so desperately wish i could create one of those extremely well-known long fics that most people love and always rec everywhere, but i feel like i’m completely incapable of that. i know i should be writing for myself, but i’m greedy and want results and for people to like my fic, however unlikely that is. wanting to write my ideas but knowing i’ll limit my audience if i do is something that’s constantly on my mind. do you have any advice for me?

My biggest question after reading your ask is simply: why?

You're very clear about wanting to be a popular writer. You want to write a fic that lots of people talk about, and you want people to know who you are. Have you examined that desire at all?

You say that the things you actually want to write are not the things that will make you a popular author. That means you have a choice:

write things you don't care about with no guarantee of becoming that Big Name Fan or

write things you love and enjoy spending time writing and know that BNF status will probably never happen.

Writing fanfic is really not a great way to try to become popular. It's an even worse way to try to become "famous" in any kind of way. So dig into what it is that you hope to get from the "broader audience" that you could appeal to by writing something you don't really like.

Are you trying to get a feeling of being liked? Respected? Looked up to? Do you want to be someone other fans look to for advice or for setting the tone of the fandom? Do you want love? Power? Some kind of community connection? Recognition of the effort you put into your works?

Some of those things likely will require you to pretend to be someone you're not. You might even manage to write that one big fic that gets thousands of comments and tons of people talking about it on tumblr (or wherever else you care about, social media-wise).

Others you can probably still get by writing your "unpopular" ideas but seeking out your fellow fans. It will take more legwork to find them and you'll need to be willing to be the first one to reach out for a conversation, but it can definitely be done.

I'll leave it up to you to decide what you actually want, anon. But take your time and scrape off the top layer of shiny thoughts about popularity first. Then you'll be able to see what's underneath.

drawing my son from Pikmin Bloom - I adore that game sm

[crystallizedkingdoms]

-obligatory I Love Oatchi so much already. oupy pikmin is so cute that I don’t even mind that it’s lowkey replaced the bulbmin shaped heart in my soul

-I love the ice pikmin! although I get the feeling that the introduction of ice pikmin will continue the Pikmin Flaw where one pikmin type will just be annoyingly lacking when compared to the others. first it was yellow pikmin, then it was red, now I get the feeling it’ll be blue unless they find a way to balance it

-although I quite like the Designs of the new characters, the way they’re rendered look… really weird? like, they look Very Plastic. Collin especially freaks me out, he looks like a ventriloquist doll, with the big red cheeks and very blank wide eyes (the red character has these eyes too, but it’s not as bad as Collin’s). I really hope it changes

-no I’m gonna take it back I don’t love all of their designs Collin is just straight up ugly as fuck and I don’t think any rendering can save him.

-baby snagrets I love you

-the reintroductions of the treasure collecting and the caves is REALLY FUN! I just really really want this to mean that we’re getting the Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard back and that they Aren’t gonna be locked behind a DLC I BEG you

-I like this onion design more than pikmin 3’s buy it still doesn’t top the first onion design. pikmin 1-2’s onions were so pretty I really liked the geometric design on them I want it back :(

-is the castaway fucking louie again or are we getting FIVE new characters

-love the idea of playing at night… always wanted that

-Collin is ugly as hell IM SORRY I literally cannot get over it. I did not wait this long for such a horrifying character to be one of the captains I have to play I BEG fanartists can make this easier for me

okay I’m having a Lot of thoughts abt the pikmin 4 trailer.
