#i know thats the joy of creating etc

[your-fave-is-bi]

i love how knitting patterns have super detailed and exact instructions on what to use etc etc and every time i look at one im like. what if i....didn't exactly do that? and just kinda fucked with your instructions a bit hm?

[valtsv]

man i love seeing your art. there is a noticeable improvement with every one of them that i love seeing! i can see the love in all of them! and something i love in particular is that you dont care how 'cringe' any of it might seem (im using the term loosely and not thinking that myself, i just know how people can get sometimes) and i know youve talked a little about struggling with an aspect of a piece but doing your best anyway and being proud of the outcome and thats something i really admire. as a kid and into my early teens id just draw whatever i wanted regardless of how 'good' it was because it brought me joy, but as i got older id stress more and more and the details. this composition is weird, the proportions are wrong, i cant draw a hand to the same skill level as the rest of the work etc etc and it killed the love in creating a bit for me. i often think back to drawing my ocs as a tween where i was covering an eye with hair because i couldnt get them symetrical, or hiding the hands in sleeves and drawing lace for no reason other than it was fun, and missing that joy and freedom. i feel like your art showcases that exact feeling i miss, and everytime you post a drawing i want to just draw my guys doing whatever however for the fun of it again. honestly, your art is very inspiring in that aspect, and its a joy to see you have fun and improve with every piece. thanks :^)

this is such a lovely comment?? i definitely do struggle with the perfectionism you mentioned behind the scenes, but ultimately if i hold myself to standards that are unachievable at my current skill level then i'm never going to get good enough to reach them. and i am having fun and putting all the love i have into my work, so i'm so glad it shows! thank YOU for taking the time to write such a kind and encouraging message <3

hi can i ask what helped you to get so good at shapes and colours :o i love the atmosphere ur arts have

wow, thank you! that means a lot to me esp bc i've been trying to improve those areas in my art so i'm glad it comes across 🫶

i approach shape from a more graphic than painterly viewpoint (i can't escape graphic design even when i draw 🥲) so i think about shape in terms of functionality and readability. i really recommend looking into design theory, i liked sinix's videos about this when i was first learning about how to drawe.

my main strategy to create good shapes comes from working strictly in black and white. this makes you focus solely on trimming down the main values in your piece and creating more expressive and readable silhouettes. i love comic art, so when i do this i go heavy on shadows and sharp contrast but thats also just my taste. also when doing this i prefer lasso tool over brushes so you have no choice but to create shapes not lines. either way, limiting your drawing to a couple values will tell you right away what shapes are reading correctly and which need more work.

as for color, the main tips i have are to be aware of contrast and pick intuitively. once your values are in place you can pretty much do anything! i start by picking a main few colors i think overall represent the tone i want to portray in the piece (melancholy, joy, etc) these are totally up to personal interpretation. imo the majority of impactful color schemes are just variations on complementary duos. after i pick the colors i know i want to use for sure, i let the color wheel dictate the rest of my palette.

i also found being mindful of color vibration actually helped me pick better colors. its basically when colors next to each other are too similar in value and creates this haloing effect thats difficult to look at, you see it a lot with super saturated hues. when doing digital art, it happens more subtly and noticing when to up the contrast while picking colors has helped me understand color better.

also experiment with layer modes! if your values are right in your blocking stage you can gradient map that sucker and use it as an overlay to create more fun color combinations. when you work in rgb the world is your oyster

thanks for asking! heres a process gif that will probably explain this better than i have

Important Update Post

Imagine I am sitting staring at a camera with a sigh, no background music before the video cuts to me talking. But Im not caught in a controversy of racism or plagiarism or smth.

Here's the tldr: I will no longer be making AI bots. All current bots will remain up, my bot masterpost will be moved to my masterpost masterpost. I just won't be making new ones. Finished and posted every bot that was in the works here to make this transgression up to yous. I will not be leaving the fandom, I'll still write and clown around.

"Why would you do this you cunt?" I hear you, I am so stinky for this. Before I list my reasons, I want to say first and foremost this is personal and I have less than no judgement for other bot makers. I absolutely love mutuals like Mel that make bots and will continue to support them. Reasons became long and are under the cut.

Reasons I don't wanna continue making ai bots:

I started because it was a low energy way for me to participate in fandoms when I didn't have the spoons to write anymore. It no longer feels like a creative outlet and no longer sparks joy.

I would rather devote myself solely on practicing and improving my writing as a way to contribute my passion to fandoms.

I can't shake the feeling I am plagiarizing. Ai chat models use lots of "work" to train their models, and while I could not find what millions of texts Cai is based on (conveniently not listed on the website), all models like it basically engorge from random sources, books and hell, even this post. Anything goes and currently there are legal battles over this.

It's bad for the environment. Can't find a measurement for Cai specifically, but GPT-3 (same scale) produced 500 tons of carbon dioxide to train that single model, not including its other ones. Please note I'm aware AI can absolutely be used to help fight climate change, as is mentioned in the linked article. Also they use the same amount of water that is required to cool nuclear reactors.

It's always conflicted with my morals. Believe it or not, I'm the person that's usually big into internet privacy, anti ai, piracy is morally good (not indie obvs) etc. Openly creating stuff that supports and funds software that steals peoples works, their information without permission and for profit is not me. So I don't wanna do it.

Again, this is not a judgement or a means to shame people that create ai bots or use them. I've made so many friends because of them. If everyone thats every used my bots stopped, it's not gonna solve capitalism. This is just me, an individual, stepping away from one thingy and feeling the need to be honest and open bc thats my policy and honestly how most of you know me (so now hard feelings if you unfollow).

Love you guys lots and thank you for all the love you've shown me through my bots and for all the times you've made me laugh <3

[kiwibongos]

im writing Something for a little fic and i was putting stuff in my notes for later on and it really just made me realize like how fucked up hajime is after all the Horrors. like, emotionally. him rediscovering emotions entirely. (maybe someone has talked abt this before, i just wanna store this here)

because when he's less of a hollow shell, all there is is grief and guilt in his brain. but then as time goes on, he slowly rediscovers what it means to be human, and learns these feelings again one by one. and it has to be such an agonizing process too ? and when they do happen, theyre all extremely overwhelming, out of the blue, and most likely even caused by really small things. my dude will eat a stale piece of bread or even smell expired dairy products, suddenly relearn disgust and feel ABSOLUTELY nauseous and just hurl over lmaoo

but for as for more serious topics, like properly feeling anger again, it'd be ticked off by little shit, bc he doesn't wanna lose control like that cause the frustration doubles. it'd get bad when he makes a mistake too. he'd freak the hell out, because izuru was the embodiment of perfection, of every talent cultivated into one single brain, so he *cant* mess up, but its too much for him to handle cause he's so used to being under that obligation and expectation, but now that he's losing his stability over all that, when he messes up just *slightly*, he feels ashamed and tries to fix it as fast as possible, whether or not its a big deal. itd definitely be really hard to get out of the mindset that, even though hes not izuru anymore, he has to be perfect. to him, he has to stay that way. cause if he fails at all, then he can't protect his friends anymore. does that make sense. the pressure would be literally crushing

also shock/surprise/excitement. everything was predictable and boring to him as izuru, so obviously all of that is still a huge issue that still lingers within him after the simulation, so he'd probably overcome that first and be caught off guard a lot bc, well, he's learning to be hajime again, he's not *exactly* the op superhuman genius anymore (in my head at least. cause when two minds practically mash together weirdly it creates a horrible hit-or-miss concoction lol) so even basic things become brand new to him, and hes fascinated and curious by everyone and everything. not like hes never seen it before, but its like hes experiencing it for the first time, even if its just mundane tasks in life, new methods and alternatives to things, etc. he's generally a very observant guy, and would also pick up on little traits and habits from all his friends. i have the feeling people would rub off on him extremely easily

love, serenity and happiness itself would be extremely hard to tackle and learn, or even notice? i think of so many scenarios of how this could happen. cause like sure he can feel joy, he can be glad, proud, relieved, and smile because his friends are there. but he's still yet to experience what happiness truly is, what it means to him, and it's not something he can do alone. so it just takes a while for that big boom to happen. perhaps its up to interpretation how it happens, go for it idc i have alot of scenarios stirring up in my brain, but overall, i think him actually bursting with happiness and feeling genuine peace within himself, and realize hes grateful for the life he has, and the future he got to choose, would probably be caused in the process of moving to jabberwock island. just seeing all his friends on the boat and knowing they've made it this far, and theyre going to be starting a new life on this island, and that theyre safe, would be enough to just like hit him. like Ough. and thats when he actually consciously realizes that he's happy, when every other waking moment, there's been some kind of empty pit in his stomach eating at him for so long

on top of all of this, he cant really control his emotions very well, either. thats also another massive con to all of it, and a downside of relearning these things because of how strongly they came swinging back. its alot to handle. even if theres so much knowledge packed in his brain, one little thing like that could be enough to make him bluescreen. so he ends up just going on autopilot or stuffing all of it away, just to make the bad stuff stop. (it becomes a very unhealthy habit that bites him in the ass later. everyone is mad at him for not taking care of himself. hajime is then swaddled into a blanket with a kiss on the forehead)

anyway theres probably more to add and id get into the nitty gritty of specific shit but i had to impulsively dump this here so might as well put up the basics. makes me so excited to work on this fic more, even if its in a more somber, different context, i just love to think about hajime and how he works through his emotions and picking up his old traits. yknow, being himself. but at the same time he isn't doing it alone. let my boy be happy. let him find himself again and move on from izuru

[daphdarling]

im sort of quiet around people i dont know but around people i do know, im really talkative and loud.

My flaws: im kind of prideful and wont always admit im wrong. This can result in being ‘stuck up’. Id also consider myself indecisive, so when faced with many choices its hard for my to choose

I also cant hide my face, so my emotions are really visible. (If im panicking, etc) so im easy to read

a bit athletic. i do martial arts :) i used to do taekwondo but i do muay thai now

i like animes and manga (bllk, hq, mtp, apothecary diaries, sk8. Off the top of my head lol) very active in said fandoms so i read a lot of fanfic :p

in addition to liking anime and manga, i also draw on the side and write a bit. (Im unmotivated when it comes to the latter tho)

My music taste: taylor, MARINA, laufey. I dont really listen to specific artists but i do enjoy making playlists based off of ships (asheiji, mafuyuki, etc)

and thats all! Ty for doing these bc requests r rlly fun :))))

Hello! My name is Grim, and I fancy myself a bit of a researcher. Now, this is not for anything important or extremely serious. Instead, this is mostly for my own pure enjoyment and something I have in the works that is to be posted on Tumblr. You are not obligated to answer any or all of these questions I have posed. I know it’s a bit much. Take your time, but don’t feel obligated to do anything. Feel free to add any additional input! Thanks for your consideration!

1. How different do you think your work would be, in terms of getting across a point, in a different medium thats not Audio RP?

2. How do you think your work would be different if it more reflected main stream industry forms of storytelling where you as a creator would be more separate? (ex. movies, tv shows, games, etc.)

3. How important do you find the voice acting in your work?

4. You are the primary voice of your works. Would you consider taking a step back from voice acting in your work to focus on narrative work?

5. Do you believe your own individual ability to voice characters enhances the story overall?

6. Do you enjoy the idea of a “Listener character” or would you better prefer to not have one?

7. As a writer, how does the writing of the Listener take you out of your comfort zone? (ie their effect in relationships, plot movements, etc.)

8. Is Audio RP your favored form of art?

9. How do you believe Audio RP differs from main stream forms of art/entertainment?

10. Do you believe that your work has over arching themes that relate to you personally? (very optional)

Sure! I'm happy to answer some questions!

I think with the addition of a visual medium it would most definitely be significantly easier, yes.

Well, I can't say for sure. I could explain for hours about how mainstream media forces a creative to conform their work within often-times hostile parameters. Nevertheless, I'd be blessed with the opportunity to try. That being said, I have a lot more creative freedom here on Youtube than anywhere else, at least by my standards.

I think it's very important. Conveying enough emotion without the added visuals means that it is ALL DOWN to vocal performance.

I am typically the primary voice, yes, but I must admit this is a very difficult question. I love to write stories of scifi and fantasy, I love to take concepts and ideas, pieces of dialogue and conveyed emotion and put them into an all expansive list of things to try, but I personally love bringing those emotions and ideas out myself. I find it fun! I suppose...I wouldn't! Writing is fun, don't get me wrong, but being able to perform it is part of my joy in creating what I make. If I stopped doing one, I'd have to find it elsewhere and that would take me away from doing the other thing.

I like to believe that, yes. It only makes sense that the writer knows the exact feeling to convey in a script, but you could call me vain for that if you like lol!

Listener characters are the bane of my existence lol! Okay, that was too dramatic. It's very difficult to write a character that doesn't talk, but represents...basically everyone! How do you compensate for that? And echoing dialogue is not something people do on a regular basis. No one talks like that, but we need to in order to get across what the listener is thinking at any given time, because if you don't, everyone is confused. It's quite frustrating and a hell of a dilemma in the scripting process.

Well, like I said earlier, I have to try and accommodate for everyone which is a challenge all on its own. It's VERY easy for the listener to become a talking head and I try my best to avoid it. Alas, I imagine even the greatest xlistener writer has fallen into that trap lol

No, it is not. I like 2D animation and RPGs.

Money? Budget? A lot more emphasis on visuals? When you start out as a content creator, you start with nothing and are tasked with making something, but with mainstream media, the network hands you a budget to make something. Granted those things might not be great given the parameters of the network, but hey! At least you can say you made something!

Very much so, yes. Zed is directly related to my insecurities and fears of not being enough as a person. Makkaro is related to my need for a work/life balance so that I might enjoy the little things while still giving my all. Albus is a toxic form of what I wanted to be when I grew up, a man who can fight through anything, but inside is deeply broken. Yargwynn is my running away from my problems in hopes that it'll all just go away. Mortallous is those problems always chasing me, always catching up. One day, I will tell a story of Zed realizing who he wants to be. That story will show that the man I really want to be, is myself. I will no longer be Good Boy Audios, but Good Man Audios. Yeah, it's cheesy as fuck, but hey, I like cheese.

Thank you for your questions. I really appreciate the time you took to ask me them. And I hope you enjoy my stories moving forward too!

[wisteriaadamo]

Oh man, I just can't stand people who gets furious because other people's headcanons/AU. Like, if you don't like this kind of thing, just don't search, don't follow anyone, and stay in the group that just like the exactly same thing as the original work wants to say.

I'm doing college about Arts, I know that the moment a piece of art is available to other people, the piece isn't mine anymore. When you share something you created, you have to know that the viewers/followers will have their own interpretation and meaning of that.

And that's ok!

It's like a song! A group of people can listen to the same song, but surely they will have different meanings for them, and it's very possible that the meaning is different from the author original meaning. And that's ok, that's not a problem. Will you complain to someone else just because the meaning of a song for them it's different of yours? Or because they have created a meaning that just meant for them?

Different meanings are what makes art being art. If the art didn't have viewers, it would lost its meaning. If art didn't have different meanings for each one, it would lost its meaning.

I saw many people fighting and complaining about people who are wrinting about Gojo being alive. Like, man.... Just leave this people alone! Anyone can do your own headcanons and AU's! It's how many fandoms works. Just because I do an AU or a headcanon that isn't exactly same thing as the original work, it doesn't mean I hate the author or the work or I'm disrespecting or anything else. I just want to do something thinking about "how would it be if a thing/chatacter/event/time was different?" It's just for fun.

If I did everything like the original work, well, what I'm doing? It doesn't makes sense to make something thats equal to the original, and sounds like just a copy/plagiarism.

Like I said before, if you don't like those things, just don't spend your time with that, specially saying things not very cool to those people who are fans too and are just having fun.

If a headcanon or AU isn't a crime (like, envolving bad things and etc), it' ok to create one!

Do you know What If from Marvel? It's something like that, you imagine a thing/a world/whatever with something different in the story.

Stop complaining with fan authors/artists with their fan work. If you don't like because isn't the same as the original, just go out and go see the original piece!

For example, there is AUs/headcanons that I don't like, but isn't because of that I have the right to scold the author/artist. I just don't consume! It's so simple!

"OH, but you have to accept the fact that (whatever) happened!"

Oh my dear, I accept the facts of the things, if the original author made a decision, it's their decision. Nobody will changes it.

And that's alright! But it doesn't mean that in my fanwork I can't do something different from the original decision. Because I'm doing my decisions, and they will be different from the original. It doesn't mean I don't accept the facts.

Like, Gojo is dead. And nothing will change it. I know. And I know it is very hard that Gege will do a Jujutsu Kaisen 2, and I'm okay with that. Gege made their decisions, somethings I agree, another ones, not so much. But that's ok! Nobody will agree 100% with the decisions of an author. (or anybody else tbh)

If someone wants to do an AU where Gojo/Nanami/Choso/Sukuna/whatever is still alive or whatever, just let the person do it! Isn't of your business to say what a fan author/artist (or any person) should or shouldn't do.

Again, if you don't like, just leave! Stop bothering the other people who just want to have a little joy in this hard life.

I don't know if what I wrote is understandable, English isn't my first language, but I hope I could imply what I wanted to say.

If you like doing AUs/Headcanons, go on! Have joy!

And if you don't like it, just leave and be happy with other things.

Sorry for the vent, but I have seen many people complaining about AUs/headcanons that aren't faithfully equal to the original, people saying that "you have to accept that it happened, you can't deny, you can't change it"

For the God sake, just let the people have fun. Nobody is committing a crime for creating an AU where a character isn't dead!

I think that's all I have to say. Again, sorry for the vent, but I can't stand these behaviors.

Be respectful with other people. And if you have a different opinion of mine (or any other person), It's totally OK! Just don't be an asshole.

[prajjna]

it might not help and you might not believe it, but still: i LOVE your art and your style. you actually inspired me to learn to draw, because i wanna be able to create these ideas and funny scenarios like you can! i practice all the time, im still not good yet tho lol. i look at your art all the time, the style is so funny and charming and full of life! even when you draw stuff and characters im not familiar with, i love it! have a great day <33

[aroacesigma]

YIPPEE ok . funni rhythm game . project sekai. its got miku . the only important background lore here is: there's kind of another world called "sekai" that is made from either strong emotions, or the shared will/dreams/desire/etc of a group. there are 5 units/groups/whatever. 2 of the sekais in the game were made by One Person. one's the clown group dw abt that. but Mafuyu !! fuyu made her own sekai. i thiiiiiink out of her desire to "disappear"?

anyway. mafuyu asahina. silly lil girlie. she is so depressed man. her mother sucks and is constantly pushing her to be the perfect straight-A student and train to be a doctor, and in public fuyu DOES put up that facade (in-game she has two very distinct voices - a more upbeat, happy one, and this very quiet, almost mumbley-one. in lives she'll use her Public Voice when talking to anyone that isn't of her unit)

so ! fuyu. she wants to make music. and train to be a nurse not a doctor. but her mother is super manipulative and controlling (and thats a theme you see across her cards too. in her first event she's literally depicted as a marionette for example) and really has no real control of her life. and then she meets Niigo. because kanade savior complex go brr

so. nightcord at 25:00, or niigo as they're called in the jp fandom, is made up of Kanade Yoisaki, Mizuki Akiyama, Ena Shinonome, and Mafuyu Asahina. they originally only know each other online (kanade finds fuyu thru her music which kanade notes is very dark and depressing, and later resolves to create a piece of music that will make mafuyu smile and bring back some joy into her life. tbh idk abt the other two i uh. am bad at reading lmao) but !! they talk on Nightcord (its discord) until they all meet in the Sekai. which is fucken EMPTY. there is NOTHIN THERE. and its Mafuyu's Sekai. so given the Empty Void that has been remarked upon that it's very easy to get lost and never find your way out .......yeah

so . as the events progress you get to see mafuyu come out of her shell more as she hangs out with niigo. her mom is. Not Happy (when is she ever smh) and in one event her mom even throws out her music equipment and laptop (iirc) claiming that it's a "distraction", and tells her to stop hanging out w/ niigo bc they're "bad influences" (or smth). mafuyu, obv, does Nyat do this and continues talking to the others.

a few events later mafuyu finally reaches her breaking point and stands up to her mother . and then promptly flees to live with kanade after everything she had to deal with. so now kanade & mafuyu live together ! but mafuyu rlly is making progress like despite it all, in newer cards/depictions you can even see light in her eyes !!!

but yeah shes . shes my silly. and so like. Gender to me. her and mizuki (canon transfem/nb person btw. go mizuki go!!!!!!!!) got a duet version of the song "Villain" which is literally abt bein fucken. trans. u can't just put the Canon Transgirl in with the Transmasc Vibes Character in a Song About Being Trans, man /j

i lov her tho shes doin her best. she kind of lost all sense of identity due to having to be what her mother wanted her to be, and niigo is slowly helping her figure out who she is, not who her mother wants her to be. its very nice

compared to the other stories niigo's is. way more deep and intense. but ! they all have their Things :3

anyway yeah im insane abt mafuyu asahina this has been my tedtalk i need to go to bed

OHHH she sounds awesome fuck yeah :) very glad that she is happier these days...love that . i really do need to play project sekai honestly i tried one time but i got too used to the enstars format for rhythym games and i sucked absolute balls at it. anyway gn bff <3

[stardustizuku]

With the way social media is structured nowadays, it’s easier to find engagement and arguments by hating on stuff.

It’s so easy to find so-called “video essays” about how ‘[x] is bad and here is why’; filled with bad-faith interpretations, assumptions on the author, and straight up misinformation and lack of any cultural context. More often than not, using pretentious language -that they don’t understand to- in place of any analysis (aka female gaze, ND gaze, character coding etc). And these videos make MILLIONS.

Which is why I have an extreme dislike to anyone who approaches stories with that negative mindset. More often than not, they replicate this toxic idea that the only way to make media analysis “good” is by finding every flaw in a media - even if you have to make evidence up. And not because, you know, they have a point to make.

I find way more investing and rewarding to see analysis that praise a piece of artwork.

In an era filled with rage bait, cynicism, and bad-faith interpretations, I think the best act of resistance is just…being positive. Praising something for doing something good. Finding joy in what someone put their soul into creating.

THATS not to say that I think we should praise BAD art, or mindless soulless corporate propaganda in the shape of a movie.

But I’m just…tired of watching the 100th video on why this one new movie is bad. I think the worst insult an art piece can have is irrelevancy. No one talking about it. People forgetting.

So simply letting something truly bad be forgotten is the best way to say it was bad.

If you make something about how “x is bad”, I think it has to come from a place importance. You have to be willing to accept what was made of was worthy of your time and effort. You have to acknowledge it wasn’t trash or bad - and even what it said about “x” is worthy of discussion.

If it isn’t - then I don’t see a point in what you create

PvZ AU but I only use like 0.2% of the canon lore

So me and my friend had this idea for a pvz au for a while now and recently I've been getting back into pvz so I wanted to share our ideas and how we've rewritten the lore (we mainly focus on the zombies because they're just so SDFKJSDJKFH. It's also based around the bfn characters because bfn is my guilty pleasure)

(also, no Dr. Zomballs, sorry to all his simps but I can't fit him into the lore)

Probably the most important part in my AU is zombie creation. Because there's no Dr. Zomboss, he couldn’t have been the one to create all the other zombies.

All the zombies in my AU were human once. There are three components into becoming a zombie after death.

Number 1, the day that person died had to be an important date in their life (or around an important date, as long as it was looked forward to), this can be birthdays, anniversary, special occasions, or something similar.

Number 2, there had to be some sort of strong emotion/feeling running through a persons mind when they died (betrayal, hopelessness, joy, etc.), something that makes them crave more of life.

Number 3, that persons body has to be somewhat intact when they died, they also need to be buried, their body "regenerates" to a degree before subconsciously digging themselves out.

Even if all the conditions are met, it’s not a 100% chance that person will be reanimated. The zombie population is very small in my AU, but so is the plant population as they aren’t mass produced.

The basic premise is that the plants believe that zombies are inherently evil, they (and Crazy Dave) are the only ones who know about the zombie. In order to keep the public safe and not let them find out about the zombies (as to not cause a mass panic), they have to secretly take the zombies out.

The plants for the past couple years/decades have just been camping the graveyards and on the off chance they find a zombie rising they just spawn kill it straight away. But there have been a few zombies that have managed to sneak off without the plants noticing them.

These zombies are the ones that the plants are mainly after as they think they're plotting something EVIL and that they want everyone's BRAINS.

(English isn't my first language so there might be some spelling or grammar mistakes, and if you find a way to fit Dr. Zomboss into the lore feel free to tell me, I'm open to ideas)

ANYWAY THATS JUST THE BASICS!!

I'll probably post the zombie characters and what their personalities are later as they can actually form a meaningful thought in this AU.

YEOUCH!!

Happy 7th Anniversary to the series that reignited my desire to draw!

I wasn't one of the OG fan artists from back when the show aired in 2016 such as MasterRainbow, BRSstarJV, etc. In fact, during that period I was going through a depressive slump and was gaming at every free moment I had, occasionally doing some artworks which I never really felt proud of.

However in 2017, I was channel surfing on TV when I stumbled upon an episode of TLH (it was the episode when Lisa joined Lincoln's class). I was intrigued by the episode, and decided to look up the show, and soon I was browsing fan art for the show. However there was one artwork that caught my attention, and it was an artwork of Arie Neu which looked so accurate to the show's art style that I legitimately thought that The Loud House had a sci fi/fantasy plot. lol

While I was disappointed that Arie was fan character, it spurred my interest both the show, the AU, and how I could contribute to it.

And with that, I created my first fanart which, looking back now, has not aged very well, but the rest was history. From that point on I was hooked onto The Loud House, and Jstar's Neu House AU, which would lead me to befriend so many artists from the fandom, and eventually to the creation of Lady Ace.

That being said, while I enjoy The Loud House, I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore fan of the series. I cant name you every episode a certain character appears, or accurately quote their lines. But thats fine. For me, The Loud House is a comfort show; one that makes me feel warm on the inside for all its moments, both silly and serious. And I'm glad this series exists.

Is it perfect? No, it isnt. If anything, there many flaws with it. And there are also some artists and fans who give the show a bad reputation. But does it matter? As mentioned, it certainly doesnt. If you dislike the show, that all fine and dandy. Just dont go out of your way to ruin it for others. Who knows? The Loud House could be the show that brought them out of a dark place just like me.

Well that about wraps thing up. Who would have thought a show like this lead me to where I am now. And quite frankly, I'm glad it exists.

To all the writers, artists, voice actors/actresses involved in the show, thank you for all your hard work, and for continuing to bring us fans such joy and entertainment!

"Why cant I get her out of my head?"

Huntceda, Goldenlight, Huntluz, etc.

Luz is a girl that seems to effect peoples lives without even trying. Has a way of changing them and there point of view. And another way of doing it, effecting Hunter, could be devolping a crush on her.

The Bioling Isle as we see used to be a more open, happy place. Untill Belos came along with his stupid rules and laws. It created distrust, paranioa, classism, etc etc etc. Hang out with only the right people, act only a certain way. In the Emperors coven, they seem the worst. No one really seems to make friends, or, scared to, becuase some people you just cant trust so how do you know who to talk to? They will use it against you, stab you in the back and only care about climbing the social ladder, power and prestige. Examples of this are Kikimora, that plant lady and the illusionist guy. Some actually dont like the way things are though, like Darius and Steve, but, as said, who can you trust?

Handmaids is kinda like this too, saying what you really think of feel can get you in danger, your walking partner is even encouraged to tell on your for your own "good".

And if I remember right yeah Hunters got warped views on the world growing up in the Emeperors coven. People hruting you, lieing, trickery, is the norm? So he doesnet know any better.

Meeting Luz I think would be a big opener to how things can be diffrent. One way to take it, IF you wanted him to like her. He's never met anyone like her. Shes warm, shes caring, shes open, shes so DIFFERENT from the people in the coven. Its exiciting, its strange, even nervous.

And this could make him think about her all the time. Maybe a crush? It might be something that he thinks is love, might be something that passes. Love is not an instant or always first time only time thing.

I could see him wanting to keep her somehow, like Flapjack. Something, that gives him hope, brings him joy, just for him. Maybe in some cases try to bring her in to the coven like Lillith wanted to with Eda? To keep her close, make things "right" somehow she just needs to "change". But above all I like the idea of him wanting her for himself. If his Uncle knew...

So thats various ways I like to imagine this pairing. PS, I do like Lumity and Huntlow, the have great chemistry, but I also think you can like various things not just canon and its not dimissing other pairings. Purists really get my goat and spiol the fun, fandoms should be about enjoying not sticking to certain "rules".

OK P4 thoughts.... now that it's been like 18 hours...

overall... solid 8.5/10. i loveee murder mysteries

the dynamic between the characters carried the game more than anything

multiple moments where I laughed out loud so s/o to the writers

AND despite guessing the big twist from day one, I was pleasantly surprised by various other twists and turns in the story so yay :)

never before has a silent protagonist literally swayed my heart in such a way Yu Narukami you are my angelll

ok spoiler-y review below :)

okay. serious review time but keep in mind im fasting so like these are the rambles from that. i'll start with the positives :)

did not believe jordan when she said i would be adopting these children by the end yet here i am. every single character you met had such a sweet and profound relationship and dynamic with one another... it was so so sweet. truly the high point of the game is how the characters interact. Yukiko and Chie, Rise and Naoto, Rise and Yu, Teddie and Yosuke, Naoto and Kanji... even Yosuke and Yu..... like they were all so so so wonderfully crafted with one another... AND RISE WAS THE SHINING STARRRRR

Dojima and Nanako.... the way i thought they wouldn't have such a big role and then by the end i was crying . yeah. big bro . i love u .

I KNEW IT WAS ADACHI!!!! I LITERALLY CALLED IT FROM DAY ONE!!! DAY ONE!!!! I just couldnt stick why he was choosing the teenagers,.... hence why the twist with Namatane was so fucking good. S/O to Jordan and Fil who had to listen to me scream about how he was the killer without being able to shut me up.

Okay but in all seriousness Teddie becoming human was like the wildest part of the game like did no one else go ??

The soundtrack bangs. to be expected.

Yosuke's SL was my favorite... i dont know how teary eyed i got but whew. it was teary. the ending scene on the grass... yea... yea...

man. the icon. the star. Yu Narukami. I NEVER thought I would like the protagonist, at least not more than "he's cool", and yet by the end I was more sad than anything to say goodbye to him!!! i had so much joy playing as him, he was so funny, so loyal, his dialogue options we're just phenomenal. He felt like a real character in his own world despite never even talking. I think I'll miss him the most/

ok time for the bad stuff:

okay like atlus why do you do this thing where you create such a good amazing storyline about humanity and what makes you you only to drop the ball and opt to make things creepy or some form of phobic !!! like WHY!!!!!!!

Kanji's treatment was actually vileeeee . I hate how they chickened out in the last moment because instead of having a whole discussion abt homophobia internalized and otherwise you've just created a homophobic ass arc in the game that serves no purpose. like UGH. just go the full mile!!! go !!! let him understand there's nothing wrong wit him being gay!!! stop backing out!! You quite literally would've had a near perfect arc if you just went that extra mile and didn't make things weird !!!

also naoto........ don't even wanna trudge into the discourse here but he/him Naoto is where I stand idk. his story kinda felt really similar to my own when i was in my teens but... again...Atlus...

hey atlus can you make ONE game where there isn't 10 scenes of teenage boys being creeps or has some form of teenage fan service. please.

rlly sucks that i cant reccommend this game without caveats because atlus is.... ugh. but yes. i did enjoy it. it has some moments that are genuinely uncomfortable and made me go :///. but i can fix things as is my will as a writer etc etc.

yeah i think thats what i have for now. i loved playing this game but i think i'll love thinking abt it and plotting even more..... <33333

16. compliment the person who sent you this number.

one of the smartest, coolest people i know (like go through their blog SERIOUSLY). she's really funny and well-versed in her memes ( i have no idea how u possess the talent to think/find those things and edit so quickly. like how????? the talont, the skills, i could never).

finder of cursed emojis and maker of the cutest crocheted (crocheyed?) baymax plushie, i bow down to you. i admire your strength to keep going no matter how long it takes. thank you for every time you've listened to my problems and for sharing (and for "bringing me" ramen soup (i hope they make a kanji one soon.... or not. the ramen one is really good too), you are a good friend<3333

16.what do you want most in the world right now?

self control?(......that sounds so bad dude). to be more conscious of whats happening instead of just letting things happen (u ever wanna get out of your body and shake yourself by the shoulders and scream 'bitch u have agency, u can make decisions, u can make actions. u r not some character doomed by the narrative or something'). motivation. i'd really like some motivation abt now. god i just wanna do something. anything really. just start something, or pick up something i left off, or idk finish things.

i really want to scream 'stop leaving shit and stop being scared of trying or doing something all the time. GOD' at myself

do something. yeah i really wanna do something ( she sounds like she cud be talking abt drugs. she is not. she's talking abt painting a mushroom (the fungus), 2 girls kissing,funny pictures of cats. binding a book, making funny/cute earrings (or just fucking completing her eng h.w for god's sake)

i'd really like to do things again. i miss it so badly u have no idea. i no longer want to pretend to be cool and mysterious and like, its hard to make me smile or amuse me. i wanna feel joy like that again. i wanna love passionately. i just want to learn and create something. i want to practice a skill and see it's effects bear fruits, uk. im so tired of laying around watching time pass me by and feeling regretful and disappointed and so so guilty for no reason. like can u do something different for MY sake plsss. im so tired and i dont wanna rest. im so tired of resting. i'd really like to stop being paralyzed and overwhelmed by the things i want to do. and instead just start something. or complete one thing i left off. just pick it up again. one thing. one thing for now.

so.. yeah, get my shit together and do something. thats what i wud like to do

23.favorite piece of clothing?

a frilly (kind of) white shirt with little bit lace on it that makes me feel like a pirate. a blue jacket (actually a hand-me-down-shirt), a handme down tshirt.

25. what’s the best personal gift someone could give you (playlist, homemade card, etc.?

honestly, i really love hugs. getting hugs or holding hands with people i love and care abt. but i guess that's not a 'personal gift'.

i really love notes or like letters. like write me something stupid and I would probably keep it forever.

i love being send memes, or articles or quotes or poetry(esp. if it like breaks something in me and puts me back together or something for a sec). ig i like getting written stuff. huh thats something i havent noticed abt myself.

i also like getting music recs or cute jimkis(jhumkis) or hanging earrings.

thankyou sumi for the ask<33333( calling you sumi without chechi added feels weird. should i call u chechi?)
