27 asks! Thanks yall!! :}} 📐

..Because I don't like Zooble. 😐

Zooble up to this point just hasn't been a pleasant character most of the time for me- She swears like a sailor, is always flipping people off and being rude left and right. Not my kind of character. 💀

Now you might say "Zooble clearly has some issues going on deep down that makes her act that way" or "Zooble is mean to Caine because she doesn't like her body" In this case, I point you to what I said on that post-

"while I know many characters are likely to turn out evil or turn out to be really sweet, I'm taking them all at their current face value. Hope this helps some of my maybe.. surprising? Tiers make some more sense" This was directed at Zooble and Jax. They've probably got some lore that will make me sympathize with them but currently I just don't like it when those two characters are on screen :|

I will say though that Zooble was saved from being moved even lower in the tiers for the tenderness she showed in setting up Kaufmo's funeral.. <XD

@eggnonymous

Little does the egg know I have a frying pan behind my back.... just in case.. 👁️👁️

@i-dogtor-dog

Feeling pretty rough <:( but doing my best.. <:) 👍 Also thank you! :)))

(Link in ask)

Woah.. the designs for this AU(?) are wild :00

@thangone

Woah! Your artwork is looking great! :DD And what a cute littol fwoggy :)))

His voice gets on my nerves if I listen to it for too long- but otherwise he's really funny and I like him as a character :)) I will be really sad if/when he turns out to be an evil master mind/the villain or something :(

They belong in Minecraft.

@neo-metalscottic (Kinger love post)

Hello! :DD I'm glad to hear you liked my Kinger post! Its nice to see him get so much love after the new episode :)) the poor guy deserves it.. <:(

Now Funky Kong, he is in my AU :00 and I intend to incorporate most other Kongs as well! Maybe I can tie in his "traveling salesman" type vibe and make him a brave/reckless Kong that likes to explore new areas on their island..? :00

As for Kirby, the Anime has a special place in my heart. And I also know barely anything about the games lore- The characters also seem to have a lot more personality in the Anime. For better or for worse <XDD

My favorite from the anime is definitely Metaknight. His only downside is he doesn't appear to have wings. <:/ (I remedy this in my AU >:) )

@stupid-thatsme

If I read this correctly, it seems like you wanted some written out explanation or something? If so I'm afraid I cant help you there- I don't consider myself to be very good at explaining art things-

The best I could do is draw some examples and try to explain the drawings. But since you said you already know all the lines and stuff.. well.. :x

@weirdweeb83

Now THIS.. Is some proper Halloween candy 🤩

@holly-opal

Not anymore! :)

@p0wer-up21

@mrrebel7

AAA THANK YOU!! :DDD AND THAT'S AWESOME TO HEAR!! :))) I hope your project goes smoothly! :))))

XDD I can pronounce that just fine!

OH YEAH ITS YOU! :00

Also yeahh,, things have been really tough for me.. I'm doing my best to keep my head up and get through it. I'm hoping to get some relief from my symptoms soon. <:/ Thank you <:))

That's not a fun fact, that's a sad fact :( I'd rather people never find me then find me through waves of stolen artwork..

But none the less, thank you. I'm glad to hear you like my art! :))

@marionette-jester

I don't know if this is an insult or a cursed compliment XD But I choose to give you the benefit of the doubt and think the latter! So thank you! :)

@the-8th-of-w1zards

AAAA THANK YOU!! :DDD Also I've been drawing far too long to remember my original inspiration.. but my guess is playing sonic games and wanting to draw Tails..? XDD Maybe Pokémon too..?

Meh 🤷 not particularly interested in those guys

Thank you! :))

Idk how long I'll play, but so far I've been enjoying it! My favorite cookie based on appearance is Star Coral cookie. Story/personality wise its a tie between Pure Vanilla and White Lily-

O_O oh dear-

@inkyblots

All I have to say is use references and do you very best to keep the drawing in model <:/

:DD Thank you! :)

Oh yeah, I've seen some of those around 😅 They're not really my taste anymore-

@captain-skyler1987

Uhg, that's always disheartening to see. Thanks for letting me know.. <:/

@hershelwidget

I cant share most of the books I read for a few reasons- but the book you're talking about sounds so good!.. And so sad.. <:'(( I'll have to keep it in mind! :)

y’all really dont need to be saying “glad i didnt care for Spassow’s work” or anything like that. I can’t put my finger on it but it feels incredibly rude.

For some reason I don't think Taehyung followed Jen by mistake. This much cannot be a coincidence. After the stalking incident, the rumors started. Theories began to be produced. Taennie shipers multiplied. It is said that they have mutual friends. This incident set the stage for Jeju and the leaked photos. It's been an image in people's minds that they've been dating since last year. Of course, I don't think they're dating. But if this is a media play, I think it shows that it was all planned since last year.

I'm not sure what stalker incident you're talking about I'm afraid.

Regarding Jennie / Tae, I think there were several things going on...

Note: before I list them, this is likely to be the last time I fully address this matter

I think Jennie (who's family I believe are wealthy), is dating the son of Chaebol and so it makes sense she's friends with other Chaebol individuals (I saw this being mentioned amongst Blinks during the whole Gurumi scandal in August, as well as a Blind Item), this relationship needs to be constantly hidden.

Tae is friends with the Paradise Group CEO and his family (the girl and mother he was photo'd with at the art gallery last year.

The Paradise CEO is closely connected to YG Entertainment and in particular BigBang, mostly G-Dragon whom he accompanied when GD enlisted.

I think Jennie's 3 dating "scandals" are all fake and she's an industry beard

All 3 men she allegedly has dating, (Kai, GD & Tae), have gay rumours/suspicions surrounding them.

I agree the Instagram follow was possibly pre-planned

YG/BigHit needed to solve some problems with potential image...

GD's "relationship" with Jennie had run its course but BigBang had a comeback coming and KEY's leaving the agency and the reasons to help cover up

Tae, had a slight image to possibly cover up, he's very obvious queerness...

Blackpink had a comeback coming and needed some publicity.

BH & YG (because the shared partnership via YG Plus),I think decided to create a fake relationship between Tae and Jennie for these reason

I don't think the Jeju stuff was supposed to come out when they did, but Kim Garam's ongoing scandal force BH to start earlier than planned.

I think two individuals were either hired or used as body doubles for Tae and Jennie and photographed in various places, but not Jeju.

The companies planted fake stories on the internet anonymously with fake screenshots of apps to "back up" the claim of the other anonymous posts.

After the Kim Garam issue died down, the went back to the original plan to drip feed leaks around Blackpink comeback and Tae's solo activity.

I think they anonymously used someone to drop fake and edited photos at key points during the comeback.

The I think this person was/is Gurumi-Haribo, but at some point, they went slightly rouge (around post MTV awards I think). They still dropped stuff on key comeback dates but dropped stuff at other points too, mostly because I think the wider fandom just didn't believe their evidence and wasn't part of the plan.

BH/YG were silent because they were complicit from the beginning, hence Gurumi's constant goading of them to release a statement.

Tae and Jennie were also aware and may or may not have been fully onboard.

I also think the turning point was the Telegram group chat, where it's clear sasaengs piled in and pushed things to a more problematic stage, possibly sharing content that was stolen from Jennie directly, as well as other artists, but wasn't released until the end of the comeback.

Then the anon tweet alleging Gurumi stole stuff Instagram accounts, was given stuff by sasaengs and had links with staff from several agencies.

It ended shortly after the comeback and Jennie cleaning her alleged private Instagram account. Followed by BH and TG releasing vague statements.

Now I went through a period in September, when I thought Gurumi was the one doctoring and creating photos of Jennie and Tae, but in hindsight, I think someone gave them to Gurumi to leak.

I think the Telegram group where more than the doctored photos were being shared (such as stolen content), meant that YG and BG had to do something, hence the statements and possible police involvement.

Either way, I believe 75% of what was "leaked" was deliberately set up by BH/YG to do multiple things (promote artists, cover up and cover up potential scandals). But when Gurumi came into the picture and set up the Telegram group, things got out of hand and slightly beyond BH/YG's control, so they had to act in the end to close things down.

But throughout it all did I think Taennie was real???

This is directed at the jse subreddit, and I really, really hate that I had to make this to try to get a point across (though on the bright side, I am proud of how it looks and it was pretty fun to do)

And, yes, unfortunately the statements in the background are all real things that thieves have said about the works they've stolen in just the past two weeks. Here's the comment I left under my post on Reddit if anyone cares to read it; art theft exists in all corners of the internet after all:

I love the JSE community, and I want to enjoy the subreddit. It's meant to be dumb fun and most times its exactly that, but lately, the amount of art theft on has been out of control and it's making things so much less enjoyable for everyone.

I'm not trying to cause unnecessary drama or witch hunts, I just want people to remember that there are rules in the subreddit, one of them being "Artwork MUST be your own" and I hate that my hitman fingers are tingling over the Report button more than they are the Upvote button at this point.

Statements like "not mine" and "credit to the artist" are not actual credit. And even proper credit is useless if you don't have the artist's permission to repost their work in the first place.

It's not a crime to want attention but the only attention you'll receive from art theft is going to be negative. Upvotes are not worth your integrity or treading on other people's work. Taking someone else's art can hurt way more than you realize and "exposure" doesn't do them any favors, even if your intentions are good.

I know this post won't change everyone's minds on the matter, but if I can make more people aware of this and if it helps even just a few people rethink their actions when posting, then it's worth it.

All that being said, continue making memes, jokes, art, and edits and all-around having fun, just be mindful and be kind so everyone can enjoy themselves too.
