You know what I'm tired of? People mischaracterizing mumbo. He is not a normal man. Nor is he a calm and sweet little guy. He can be, but most of the time he's crazy. Make mumbo crazy. Show the side of mumbo that angrily sniffed iskalls shirt, show the side that made a horrifying tree his house, show the side that insults Rendog whenever in a ten-mile radius. SHOW THE MUMBO THAT FUCKING JUICED HIS BEST FRIEND??? I need THAT mumbo guys- stop making him polite let him go insane

Needed to share this here as well as I believed it is beneficial for us to be calm and handle this incident calmly. They go by the same user on here as they do on twitter, so PLEASE do not go and harass the artist here on tumblr either!!!

I did a good job :3

Anyone who knows me well knows that I work in the court system. Today, one of the most malicious and strict judges complimented me on my great work. I'm overjoyed about it, but I also hate myself for sounding so cringeworthy on the phone. She probably thought I was just trying to kiss up to her, but I truly meant it when I said I was very glad to receive this praise - especially since I'm still dealing with backlogs due to my herniated disc and the resulting time off work.

ok but like, mod poet, have you ever used a mouth guard? like the ones they use in football? molding it to your teeth is an awful sensation but after that i think youd like it alot

-ls anon

[no, but I might actually do that]

[i got in trouble for chewing on pencils and erasers when I was a kid, a lot. because I bit through the metal? it was really worth it each time because oh my god it felt amazing]

I have so many ideas for this au it's insane. My brains already made a basic outline for the beginning of the story. I just need to, ye know, actually design everyone else and make their character sheets.

Lots to do before I actually start the story, but this is the first time I have the urge to work on the beginning of the story. Usually I have an urge to work on something that happens halfway through, so this is nice actually!

You ever listen to an album that is SOMEHOW PERFECTLY WRITTEN FOR YOUR OC’S

AFTER YOUR OC’S WERE MADE

NOT EVEN JUST “oh this line is soooo them” I MEAN THE METAPHORS IN THE SONGS FOLLOW THE ACTUAL CHARACTER MOTIFS HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN

Anyway shoutout to Madds Buckley I love you but every single song in the Dogbird playlist is so perfectly crafted to my Gentle Flower lore it makes me want to scream and cry and vibrate with intensity

Like, imagine, you are the Cavallone boss and you married the love of your life and then she miscarries/is not fertile/is too sick to have a child and she is already crying because she feels like a failure of a woman and she is thinking that maybe it would have been better if she was just let go with all of the dishonor and when you, the boss, refuse to let her go she pleads you to go make an heir with the kitchen maid and she will bear thedishonor with grace.

Lesser men would have already done that before she even spoke, but you are not a lesser man, you are the Cavallone boss.

And you will still need a heir. But you love your wife and all you want is to see her smile.

That's truly a moral conundrum

[uchihaxitachi]

Idc if you hc mumbo as a shapeshifter, moth, human, or vampire. Either way I love you with my whole entire soul. Also if you make fanart of any of those things or just draw mumbo in general know that I am digitally hugging you or high-fiving you if you don't like touch

I absolutely adore your art

Your medic is also very lovely!🍰🍓

Is there a possibility you’d like to be mutuals??

Why thank you, that's very sweet of you to say! I'm flattered and humbled you enjoy my art!!! 🍰💖

So the thing is I'm a really anxious person and don't often follow those I don't know/haven't interacted much with. I don't expect follow backs from other artists I follow, they just happen naturally! I hope this doesn't discourage you or seem rude, and it's nothing you've said or done nor is it personal! I'm just very nervous around people/strangers online, and I tend to get intensely weary when something feels parasocial to me!

I also don't really follow minors much cuz I'm not really comfy with engaging with anyone under 18 in general. I act like a big brother or overprotective mama with my friends who are younger than me and I try to keep interactions minimal! If I'm unsure what age you are I am less likely to follow back (age or clarifying if you're an adult or minor in bios helps me)! My art blog is 16+ but I can't check every single person who wants to follow my blog, tho I trust that people can behave and be kind (unlike on tiktok where almost everyone is a bully towards artists ;-: it's a scary place)

I appreciate you asking tho it's very considerate of you! 👏🏼💌

I am pissed

Okay, yesterday someone took my idea and pretended it was theirs. And once again, I'm receiving a message about 'mori is a pedo' in my inbox...

Also, my eyes hurt. I often think about deleting everything because I have enough problems in real life. I really dislike people and I am already exhausted as hell...

The only thing that concerns me is if Despair Time will make it past the “Great Fanganronpa Filter.”

If you are unaware of this, I tried explaining it before but Tumblr garbled my asks of it up, it’s a worrying trend I’ve noticed where Chapter 2s tend to be when most fanganronpas get cancelled. If you don’t believe me, think of all the fangans that got cancelled and the Chapter they did it.

Yep it’s Chapter 2. And since this happens so often, I’ve dubbed it the “Great Fanganronpa Filter” based off the Great Filter which is one of the many many theories why we haven’t found life on other planets yet.

Why is it Chapter 2 seems to be like this? Well my theory is most fangan creators have a plan in mind for the Prologue and Chapter 1 and they are in the honeymoon period where everything is peachy and nice. Chapter 2 is when they start trying to introduce their themes and the honeymoon period ends and the reality of the amount of work they have to do sinks in.

Because when compared to other fanworks fanganronpas are extremely challenging to write. Not only do you need a good theme and mysteries in place, you also need to write 5-6 murder cases and on top of that you need at least 16 well thought out and complex characters. That is a lot of work and throw in any irl issues and this is why most creators cannot do it.

And given how exhausted and burns it out DT Dev is, I fear this could lead to a cancellation. I could be wrong and any fangan that goes past Chapter 3 is very likely to finish, but we are at the critical stage.

//I feel inclined to point out that, based on what they've said, it seems more like their biggest issue has been how visceral the push-back was against their story decisions in this chapter before it was even done. So many people were furious with the decision to make Ace the killer before the ending was even out and were straight up quitting DT over it.

//I'm not exempt from this, but I was more disappointed than angry until the ending came out, then that completely rectified my opinions. I admit I still have criticisms, but contrary to what numerous annoying anons have claimed, they have nothing to do with Arei's death. I'm happy she wasn't forgotten by the end.

//The biggest problems I've seen DT experience all really have more to do with how poorly the fandom treats the dev, how entitled and nasty they can get- including harassing the dev and the VAs- and how many really misconstrue the actual content of the story and demonize some characters past the point of rationality.

//If you think I'm exaggerating, TA showed me a youtube comment under one DT video from someone who believed, because Nico tried to kill Ace, they didn't deserve to have anyone use their proper pronouns. Which I understand is not indicative of the entire fanbase, but it's still disgusting and it's the sort of behavior that can't be allowed to go unaddressed.

//We had to wait 17 months for Part 2 to continue. It's already a lot of hard work, you're absolutely right, and it's probably harder because DT is a web series and not in a game engine. It's not going to come faster if all the dev gets is hate and bad behavior.

//You're right that a lot of fangans don't reach Chapter 3 for various reasons, but with something like DT, it needs even more time and more effort. We may not always agree with their story decisions, but they've admitted this is their first big writing project and it's already turned out really well if you ask me.

//The point here is, while the Great Fangan Filter is true, they should also be examined on a case-by-case basis for why they don't all make it. DT's creator is talented and skilled, but those are things that need to be fostered constructively. I sympathize with them greatly because I've faced a lot of pushback myself over the years, but I've always managed to persevere.

//If we want DT continue, and other fangans to continue at that, we need to understand that these are just really passionate people who are doing these for free so we can enjoy them. Not that it means they're above criticism, but that we shouldn't think this status means they're above decency and understanding either.

//Didn't mean to turn this into a rant, but I'm very passionate about this issue because I relate ^^;
