rules: tag 9 people (or so) you want to know better and/or catch up with, then answer the questions below! — I was tagged by @jimbothy-magma from this post and @yarn-dragon from this post.
They both tagged me in the same post meme format whatever, and one person tagged my @uc-beepboop account. Since I am just the same lil guy as my UC side blog, I thought I would do both here (they are more or less the same). Thanks for tagging me!
last song: “Do U Really?” By Lyn Lapid (with Ruth B.) ← This song has been something I’ve been listening on repeat I love both of them.
three ships: (1) Nephila Mori x Laz Malidity from Arc 8 of Unprepared Casters: I love them and it is a toxic-ish relationship + acknowledge that they have issues WHILE Nephila being one-sided in love with her AND Laz has boundaries while being Nephila’s firmest ally. (2) BakuKiri: Bakugou and Kirishima because they can actually withstand each other lolz and (3) Raeda: Eda x Raine from the Owl House. Old friends back to lovers sometimes hits hard.
currently reading: Okay I got two for you. (1) Our Missing Hearts by Celest Ng and damn… it’s this dystopian future that borders too close to our own, and as someone who’s Chinese American, there’s quite a bit to think about there! (2) In the middle of “You are coming down with me, hand in unloveable hand” written by the wonderful @silly-goofy-mood and @yarn-dragon (the same person who tagged me!). I haven’t had time to finish because of classes and work meetings but I’ll read it once I’m finished writing this post.
last movie: Guys I don’t watch movies a lot I watch TV shows lol ;-; I don’t want to keep saying Wakanda Forever, so I’ll say a TV show instead: Stranger Things Season 4
craving: for my work to be over please why are there tests on this stuff
tag time: I’ll tag some people sure (you are not obligated at all!): @silly-goofy-mood, @tianshiisdead, @marigoldmorrigan, @adventuresofahufflepunk, @amywontkillyou, @lordsardine, @peonycats, @urmomsstuntdouble, @princefaux

"I should draw Māori Miku!" I said to myself. "Just a fun sketch, it shouldn't take me long" I said to myself. Six hours later I come to with this in front of me and a wrist begging for mercy but holy fuck worth it. I love this trend this was so much fun
PLEASE DON'T REPOST ON OTHER SITES!!! ASK ME FIRST!!!!!
DISCLAIMERS AND NOTES ETC.... I'm Pākehā, meaning I am not of Māori descent. I hold so much respect for Māori people, for their values and traditions, and for the fierce pride with which kapa haka is performed. I thought if I was going to design a Māori Miku, it makes sense to dress her in a kapa haka kākahu, as her whole thing is singing and dancing!!! The moko kauae is not based off any real person's. I referenced the temporary moko kauae a lot of kapa haka performers wear!! Was tricky finding out whether or not depicting her with a moko kauae was a good idea, so I went the safe route- showing an aspect of Māori culture without stepping over any boundaries!! Brown eyed Miku is everything to me shout out brown eyed Miku.... I referenced like seven different outfits to put hers together!! I really hope this looks accurate or at least passable. Thanks to adorkastock for the pose ref!!

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel
IT'S BAD
PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS
EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance

today on the train home the guy next to me was on his phone and at one point i saw him go on tumblr and he just had like. a normie dash. like it was all photography. of nature and architecture. he was using tumblr the way a heterosexual landscaper for rich people might use instagram. i actually had to watch his screen for a few seconds to be sure it really was tumblr because i was so taken aback by the content he was viewing. this is why algorithmless websites are so beautiful btw because i genuinely didn't know that this side of tumblr even existed. he didn't even so much as scroll past any text posts.
EDIT: look i'm not going to turn off reblogs but i cannot stress enough that THIS WASN'T A HIPSTER BLOG DASH IT WASN'T AN AESTHETIC BLOG DASH IT WAS THE MOST WILDLY GENERIC COLLECTION OF IMAGES YOU HAVE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING OR BEING A QUIRKY FANDOM TUMBLRINA WHEN I SAY "NORMIE" I GENUINELY MEAN "SO NORMAL THAT IT CIRCLES AROUND TO WEIRD". CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME? HELLO?
