I should get use to this by now...

BUT UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT

[chaotic-zora]

Desperately trying to sketch out my zora OC (no name yet, they/them/he/him). Still in progress but wanted to share.

They are a mix between a thresher shark and a tiger shark (hence the stripes!). Dark purple and lavender stripes in coloration. He likes to tie little strips of leather around the end of his tail to make his whip attack hurt more :3c

They are currently traveling in an attempt to find their best friend *cough hopelessly in love cough*. He carries around a poorly done sketch of them and will be like "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ZORA ???", *proceeds to go on a rant about how his best friend has the kindest smile and gentlest soul and how wonderful he is*. Got so much lore developing for these two.

Shout out to my partner @vaquero-azul-art for helping me with the anatomy, would have been fighting for my life for another 4 hours if it weren't for u. Love u.

writing the saddest fucking thing I've ever written and then turning right around and writing the most ridiculous smut to ever exist

god i am so down bad for went and maggie i wish i got to be their unicorn instead

[yuesya]

ain't gonna lie, i got like near 0 attachment to hakari/hoshi. wish gege introduced them earlier. partially bc jujutsu in the last dozen chapters got me emotionally dead. or well, since shibuya really.

I think that's understandable, considering that they were introduced pretty late... several chapters after the Shibuya Arc ended, if I'm remembering correctly. And even then, it's not like they really had any prominent roles like the second year students. (Aside from Hakari and his fight against Kashimo, maybe? For however long that fight lasted?)

At any rate, they'll end up having a larger presence in zenith of stars haha, given that they'll be Shiki's classmates.

ok. *enters a hell of my own making*

Did anyone tell Ford (bonus doodles: Family Movie Night, 70s Classics)

idk thinking about how sometimes you have to show up for people you aren't that close to, because sometimes you're just the person who's there. sometimes you invite a new friend to a party and end up having to sit with them through a panic attack. sometimes you run into an acquaintance on their worst day and they need to talk about what happened. sometimes someone is crying in a stairwell and you're the only one around to ask if they're okay. and none of this is "trauma dumping" or whatever the fuck it's just being there for people because you're the one in the room with them.

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.
