Rumors are going around on twitter and weibo that starember might have left the tgcf manhua team omg.. they're unfounded right now but can we get a prayer circle going for hoping that it's true!! 🙏🙏🙏I'm so tired of their consistent racism and orientalism being passed around in the manhua space, people have been raising the alarm on it for literal years now

[alastryona]

also i remembered I don't think I ever posted all my oc sprites here

So here they are! All the Sprites I've made of my ocs (+ my present day/postUX/post subject X skuld). I havent made everyone and i wanna redo some of these but i still love them a lot.

Runa is my actual UX keykid. Tryo and Emi are twins, Reli is their older brother, Hoder is their mom. Calli, Chirou, and the twins are childhood friends, Tai joined the group later when they were in middle/high school (and is dating Tryo).

Cait and Rav are actually skyrim characters. They're part of a larger group too but they're the only ones i've made like this.

i had a dream the limbus crew had to go get info on a new distortion that popped up in a romani village in some corner of the backstreets and they had to go stealth, couldnt just fight their way to the distortion for some reason; they had to fit in. and since gregor is the last sinner, n13, he got last pick for outfits and he had to go in this. his mantits were out.

Do I know anyone in Albuquerque? If so you should come see an awesome show that I'm going to be a part of on the 22nd. It is a bucket list item for me to perform as part of Bal Anat.

duck anon - l reading your isagi selfship lore is sooo cute omg sora… best couple 5ever 4real :3 asking you about ribbon (what gifts do they get you/what do you get them?) and mango (do you and your lover like to dance) :00!!!

(particularly invested in your answer to mango cause i remember you mentioning a bit ago that u can belly dance and i think isagi would be soooo enamored by that 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️)

HI DUCKY!!!! <3 TYSM FOR SENDING THESE IN u are soo so sweet to me i don't deserve u fr ;___; <333 ALSO STOP... U MENTIONING MY BELLYDANCING... KJHJKFSDF i will go coconuts and bananas thinking about it omg...... doing it in front of isagi i'd pass away man >_>

ribbon ৻ꪆ what kind of gifts do they buy you? what gifts do you buy them?

isagi's way of gift giving is paying for everything i want to buy and i cannot refuse it under any circumstance he gets pissy KJSHDJFHKJ even the littlest things that i can more than afford to get myself -- he needs me to use his money because he has so much of it that he doesn't give a fuck about and the idea of me of all people not using it would drive him insane KJHSDFJK he loves to be relied on so badly. so i have to v__v like even the silly little things i like to spend my money on like games and in game skins etc etc he's got his payment info ready to go for me (like overwatch... he follows the ow cavalry twt to keep up w skins i might like bc he knows i'm insane about the game and asks me to buy for myself LMAOOO... he usually can buy things from the bnet app for me automatically he's so... same with my steam like a wishlist does Not exist he buys a game for me the second i mention it skdjhdsjkf) he loves his lil geek nerd gamer gf.....

[putting a readmore cuz it lowkey got long LMFAO]

for isagi i usually love to make things for him !! like scrapbooks of us and knit him little things to wear and carry... and charms.... i'd also write him so much poetry and in cute little letters... he keeps those and occasionally takes them with him as a lil reminder ;___; i rarely buy things just bc. Again he doesn't let me buy anything w my own money and it's weird to buy him gifts w his own money LMFAOOO even tho he'd be fine w that but i am Not LMFAOOOO... but yeah its,,, mostly him buying things for me and the only gift he likes is seeing how thankful i am,,,, makes him sooo weird n luvsick abt me i fear..... >_> <333

our gifts r just... truly acts of service it's more about intangible personal things really i would say :"3

mango ৻ꪆ do you and your lover like to dance?

yes!!!!!!!!!!! we dance super silly at home (or if we go out which is Rare lmao)... to silly songs or voice cracking when we sing... we're just silly goobers LMAOOO

but sometimes we'll slow dance at his soccer galas ;___; it's a thing that happens there anyway but... he also just loves to dance slow with me it flusters us like crazy but he loves it sm... loves dancing with me when i'm all dolled up, him too -- he's so charming and a gentleman during those, he gets so happy dancing w me during those OUAAHGHHG even tho im so shy and might step on his toes >_> he loves it......

can't talk about the belly dancing thing i'm toooo shy abt thattttt omg >_<.........

roma's selfship ask game!!

Raqs Sharqi - Dacatt

Idk if anyone has done this or if anyone would be interested but i did an EN translation + explanation/analysis for Dacatt's theme based off the CN transcript in the song.

im not sure if i will do for every guy but im keeping a google doc on how i translate these. if i finish, ill post it

(btw if you ever wonder what the text on screen that isn't the lyrics say, they're translated in the youtube desc)

Verse 1

凌舞八方 / Dance in all directions

榮耀，在天空中閃耀 / Glory, shine in the sky

花瓣在空中飛舞 / Flying petals dancing in the air

醉心於勝利之吻 / Drunk on victory kiss

祝福的旋律是眾神的聲音 /The melodic blessing is a godly voice

(You’ll notice the motifs are shining and glory because these are dances for the gladiator arena)

Verse 2

哦，照耀我們的光永遠照耀著吧 /Ah, let our light shine on us forever

像風一樣 /Just like the wind

靈活的劍 / Flexible sword 

(The whole phrase would be: Sword as flexible as the wind)

像月亮一樣 / Just like the moon

弧形的弓和箭 /Curved bows and arrows

(Same here,The arc of the bow and arrow just like the moon)

像花一樣 / Just like a flower

湧出的紅色 / Gushing red

為國王跳起高昂的舞蹈 / Dancing high for the king

(Lorewise, there is a royal family after all. I’m guessing these arena fights are for the royal family, and everyone’s entertainment?)

Verse 3

獻上的這個腰 / The waist I dedicate

和迷人的指尖 / And charming fingertips

閃耀著金色的光芒 / Shining golden light

我獻上我的身體 / I offer my body

鐘聲不絕於耳 / The bells keep ringing

灼熱的呼吸 / Searing hot breath

(This is talking about Dacatt’s dance style, Raqs Sharqi is named after the Egyptian style of bellydancing. Not sure how accurate this is considering um, the notorious orientalism of cn games and all, but here you go.)

在磨礪的時刻 / During moments of hard work

(Note: the phrase is more of like a period of sharpening your skills)

勝利的女神微笑著 / The goddess of victory smiles

(yes, this specifies a female goddess of victory. I wonder if there’s more gods or if it’s just a reference to irl Nike)

Verse 4

神秘的光芒 / Mysterious radiance

照亮命運 / Illuminate destiny

Verse 5

讓歡呼聲永遠咆哮 / Let the cheers roar on forever

戰鬥的呐喊 / Battle cries

當名字被刻在傳說中 / When the name is engraved in legends

翩翩起舞 / Start dancing lightly and gracefully

戴上面紗 / Put on a veil

在這閃亮的舞臺上 / On this glittering dance stage

來吧，永無止境的！/ Come now, it’s neverending!

將繼續演奏 / I’ll continue performing forever

Verse 6

耀眼的光芒 / Blinding light

手中握著歡呼聲 / Holding cheers within my hands

音樂永不停息 / The music never stops

讓我們繼續跳舞 / Let’s keep on dancing

為了綻放榮耀的曙光 / For the blooming dawn of glory

(I think these are fairly obvious)

Sign off!

祝福！

Blessings!

(This phrase is the same in JP )

Im gonna have to disagree with the bellydancer Steve, when Ballet dancer Steve is CLEARLY superior. That's an au where he starts ballet classes after his fall from grace and Nancy break up in '84. Because of his multiple concussions he's kicked off the basketball team, but he misses sports so he starts looking for something and he always really liked watching cheerleading and he's fascinated by it when they dance, but it's a small town and before guys started being cheerleaders (i think, Idk when it became acceptable for guys to join cheer, just roll with it) but then he walks past the only dance studio in Hawkins which happens to be Ballet and he's intrigued by the poster so he investigates and he's immediately in love with how graceful yet powerful everyone looks, so he signs up and he's REALLY good at it, its clearly a talent and since hes already athletic and trained, he advances faster than average

All the girls want to him as their partner because he's strong but also graceful and he's super nice and easy to work with and he never drops them and he's always guiding them to the floor so they land softly (instead of those jerks who takes the shortcut and make them land hard, causing muscle cramps in their calfs, no Steve's not like those) he's a great partner. Anyway, he meets Chrissy as they share ballet classes and she offers to meet up with him to help go through techniques and to practice, because he loves it so much he wants to practice as much as he can and get better, and that's how they become besties and when Steve and Robin become platonic soulmates after Starcourt and the mindflayer and Billy, Steve knows exactly who to nudge Robin towards when it comes to pretty girls with bright smiles and kind hearts cccc:

Anyway ballet Steve is superior and this is a hill I will die on

(I will also die on Cheerleader!Steve hill fyi, but I'm battling bellydancer Steve with ballet)

die then.

Hello! Could i get a bg3 matchup?

 I go by she/her and don’t have a gender preference. 

As for personality I am quite introverted and tend to love just chilling in my room. I do however open up around close friends and family where I can be loud, especially when talking about my interests.

As for hobbies I love digital art. I love digital illustration, making character models/art for game design, web design, graphics, and more. I love playing rpg video games, visual novels, otomes etc. I also love reading fantasy, classical literature, myths and folklore. As much as i enjoy spending time in my room with my hobbies, one of my favorite things to do is travel the world. I also love to bellydance to Arabic and Bollywood music. 

Likes: lil coffee shops, earl grey tea, chai, sushi, boba, purple, chokers, butterfly clips, people who value personal space

Dislikes: overly touchy people, suddenly deciding to switch plans, anything too crowded or loud

Id say my strengths are definitely my imagination and creativity. I tend to get lost in my head in made up worlds and use that for my art. Id also say that im quite good at being on top of things and will always finish all my work before play. 

For weaknesses its my pessimism. I get into ruts where sometimes all I see is a doom scenario. 

 Thats it! Thank You! 

Hi Danza, thank you for the request! Bellydancing sounds like such a fun, interesting hobby ! I had a friend who did some form of belly dancing before, too.

Taking into account you don't have a gender preference. I did some thinking on this one, and I decided to pair you wiiiith...

.

.

.

Karlach!

Now, hear me out. You say that you are mostly introverted, but you find it easier to open up when you're around loved ones - namely when you feel comfortable enough to talk about your interests.

Karlach as we know her is of course, the rambunctious, loud, cinnamon roll with the mouth of a truck driver - she's also very loveable and excitable, kind of like...almost puppy-behavior. In that same regard, she's fiercely loyal - so, Karlach is definitely dog-coded.

I think the two of you would make a good pair because personally I'm a sucker for those couples who balance the other out. You're quiet, she's not - you're introverted, she's not - but while you do have differences, you do have similarities.

If you're in a situation you don't entirely want to be in (i.e. the kind you just want to hole yourself up in your room), never fear, as Karlach will either help to physically remove you from the situation (whether it's coming up with a perfectly goofy excuse like, "Ah fuck. We left the uh...fireplace... on fire." Or, literally picking you up and physically removing you from said situation, literally (whichever your preference is, but I don't think so given you're not fond on touch). The two of you would probably have a "signal" or secret code word of some sort that you give each other for scenarios like this.

Either way, you can count on her to do all the talking so you don't have to, if that's what you'd prefer.

Regarding your weakness with pessimistic tendencies and thoughts, Karlach is an excellent comforter. If motivational words aren't really your thing (which she's great at. Maybe not the most eloquent but who cares? The girl can give a good fuckin' speech), she has plenty else to offer. Whether it's telling you stories or jokes to get you out of the rut, or offering the best hug you've ever received, she will be very empathetic to you during those times. She's there for you, even if you aren't in the mood to talk. Just don't shut her out completely, and she'll be there for you when you're ready.

With your hobbies, Karlach is your #1 listener. Whether you have a new idea for an art piece based off of something you'd conjured from your imagination and no one to share it with, welp, now you do - Karlach loves hearing what you have to say, and the best part: she listens. Not only that but I see her as more of a "visual" person so she would love to offer her own ideas if you're struggling putting something on paper. She gives a lot of, "What about this? How about trying this color?" suggestions to try and assist you.

Sort of the same when it comes to the books you read. I feel like she actually WOULDN'T be a big reader until she asks you about whatever you're reading at the time, and then she decides to give it a shot. Seeing as how you love it so much and it seems so important to you of course, naturally, she wants to at least attempt to read. Pretty soon you've created a monster, and she's throwing in some big words in between swears.

All that aside, I definitely see her as one who wants to travel the world with you, too. Making memories together and finding some silly souvenirs are great, but the best part of any trip is having spent more time together with you.

A relationship with her would be long, sweet, and caring.

[shivasdarknight]

and if i haven't made myself clear, i do not tolerate the racist bullshit that the ffxiv fandom is known for.

doesnt matter if it's sexy bellydancer ocs, your literal nazi ocs, your king and i parodies, indigenous caricatures, aryans and the snowbunnies/queen of spades fuckers that go with them, or some of the extremely anti black shit like the fucking jim crow mr popo lookalike elezen

you do not belong here, nor should you belong anywhere.

and if you think that talking about racist shit or racist people is "drama", you can leave too. im too tired from the attitudes proliferated on twt for it to continue here.
