FUCKEN STEAM COMMISSIONS: ROUND TWO

hello!! these are my steam commissions, for when i want video games but. dont have any fucking money. because i am a jobless teenager <3. help a teenager get her paws on video games!!

reasons why you should commission me:

its fucking art fight! everyone else is busy

i have gotten better!! rejoice

i have an ACTUAL CASHAPP now. BLESS.

im pricing these losely baby, based off hopes and dreams!! simple pieces are like. 5~ dollars. a bit harder are like 10-20~ dollars. shading + coloring cost NO EXTRA and are for free on any piece, bc i do that anyway!! unless you SPECIFICALLY REQUEST i dont add them. bonus, if you just.. cant afford the suggested price, tell me and i lower it. its money either way man, no heat.

any edits are FREE unless they get HEAVILY, HEAVILY excessive and are you actively changing your mind, and not a mistake I made!! even then its only like. 2 bucks.

you WILL get the piece back like. day of - two days after, depending on when you commission, how many commission and my schedule. thats a pretty good turn around, i think!!

im only adding slots if a BUNCH of ppl commission in rapid succession.

if i cant draw something i will just. tell you. so no chance you get especially bad shit. and if you hate a piece i will most likely just. not make you pay and take the free art practice. if i see you using it though i WILL kill your ass.

examples (YES. this is mostly tss fanart. however my autism is irrelevant to this post /silly):

more under the cuttttttt!!! and if you have any questions just dm me, i dont bite!!

note: these are from about the last ~8 months and show a LARGE variety in skill. but they are in MOSTLY chronological order, luckily. these are just any pieces i feel particularly proud of!! and YES, its STILL mostly sanders sides fanart.

[tboyfrnkiero]

spooky-demolition-lover -> faggy-euronymous -> tmascfrnkiero -> tboyfrnkiero

my name n pronouns fluctuate A LOT currently its bishop + judas + dionysus + ethan n it/its + he/him my pronouns.page is @faggy.tragician (its not letting me link waahhhh) if u want a more general name + pronouns list (also ill probably update that 1st when it changes) (all names n pronouns listed on there r ok to use btw, the ones listed here r js slightly preferred)

im a femme genderqueer fagdyke n a white northern (mix of all scandinavian countries)/western (mostly ukraine) european secular jew w a (kinda??) mixed religious upbringing (my dads christian n my moms jewish) ^-^

tag stuff: i only tw for image/video-based stuff, n i format it like "___ warning" (ex: flashing warning) (i have shit memory so unless theres an image/video there to remind me that "hey theres smth triggering here" i wont remember it, sorry). my yapping tag is #the bat speaks. if you have the money, check out my #palestine fundraiser tag or #sudan fundraiser tag and donate some money to some1 there! vampire tag: #🦇, music tag: #📼, cannibalism/body parts/skeletons/stuff in that vein (pun intended :3) tag: #🫀 (ed im sorry for stealing these), art tag: #🎨, vent tag (will include vent posts both by me n other ppl): #🥀

this blog is for everything. also plz send asks i <3 asks!!

i have 1 other blog: @tboyfrnkiero-music-listening (blog where ill post what im listening to when i feel like it)

if u wanna cancel some random mentally ill queer teenager here u go ^-^ (sry this is so long it turns out im a very opinionated faggot):

transmisandry is real n important to talk abt (n so is transmisogyny, exorsexism, intersexism, n transmultiphobia)

all mentally ill ppl deserve help if we want it. yes this includes the "scary" ones. ppl w pds, addicts, psychotic ppl. ALL mentally ill ppl. u cant js decide a person is inherently evil bc of smth they cant control. n if a mentally ill person doesnt want help we still deserve basic respect ("basic respect" includes not forcing us to get help btw. like yes u can try to motivate ur friends to get help!! thats fine!! js dont force us n if we tell u to stop u fucking stop)

all radfems should fuck off n die. even the trans "inclusive" (lmao) ones

mainstream feminism sucks n doesnt pay attention to poc, trans ppl, intersex ppl, n disabled ppl enough. yall gotta stop focusing on white perisex cis abled women

live and let live, cringe culture fucking sucks

"leftists" being like "mental health matters!" but not being able to handle ppl w anything except for seasonal depression n mild anxiety is a genuine problem (n ofc the seasonal depression n mild anxiety havers mustnt complain, bc 1. ur annoying me!! n 2. other ppl have it worse!! (despite the fact u dont care abt the ppl who have it worse but wtv))

having homicide fantasies doesnt make u a bad person. even if theyre not intrusive thoughts n u wanna have them

no kink/fetish is morally bad (none of them. not even that rly fucked up 1 u js thought of). no kink/fetish "belongs" to a group of ppl. making ur own ver of a kink/fetish isnt "copying"

"contradicting" labels r amazing n very fun to have (ex: afab transfem, amab transmasc, lesboy, gaygirl, lesgay)

it/its arent inherently dehumanizing n refusing to call some1 who uses it/its it is transphobic

neopronouns n xenogenders r amazing n very fun to have

fakeclaimers should die

liking a piece of media doesnt mean you agree w the creator(s) abt everything

a (cis) man liking feminine things doesnt mean theyre a (trans) woman n a (cis) woman liking masculine things doesnt mean theyre a (trans) man. thats js gender stereotypes w trans colors painted onto it

intersex ppl talking abt their issues arent transphobic or terfs oh my fucking god

proship but the actual meaning n not what antis think it means. i dont believe ppl should b harassed for ships (esp considering a lot of comshippers r traumatized teens. they need mental help not online harassment campaigns)

free palestine 🇵🇸 free sudan 🇸�� free congo 🇨🇩 free haiti 🇭🇹

callout culture is 👎

purity culture is 👎

if u saw some1 shoplift no u didnt (unless theyre a cop)

every1 belongs at pride (except for cops)

i have an airbuds the @ is @batraybat the display name is 🦇 ray 🦇 n the pfp is the pic of gee under here add me on there if u wanna stalk my music listening my spotify has the same pfp n the name is also 🦇 ray 🦇 also heres my discord talk to me plz

bands/artists i have a spotify playlist dedicated to: leathermøuth, pencey prep, death spells

goodbye heres the picture of gerard way :3

[saltminerising]

i wasn't gonna send anything in but wow, a lot of y'all need to take a step back, jesus christ. don't excuse an artist's shitty behaviour, because all that tells me is tbat if you were an artist you'd do the same thing.

imagine, if you will, that pay someone real life money for them to make something, and you see them every day, and they flat out ignore you, avoid you, and do everything in their power to not talk to you about what you paid for. and then they keep accepting money from people, and you see them doing it to others. and eventually, after like 3 months they walk up to you, no product, and go "lmao sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my depression was bad i know i took ur money but i dont actually care," you'd be a little more than understandably peeved, yeah?

what makes it okay when its on flight rising for gems? or even treasure? if an artist knows they won't have their commission done in a certain amount of time then they have an OBLIGA to their customers to let them know. they don't need to go into detail but literally take the time to say "oh smth came up, commissions will be taking a little longer than expected." and they can't get mad if someone wants a refund.

this isn't talking about real emergencies. hospital visits, pets/family dying, etc etc. those don't count, they're unforseen emergencies. im talking about school or stress or work, all things that the artist knows is/will be happening and should accommodate for. and if they don't or refuse to, they they're a bad artist who should be avoided in the long run because they can't take the time to let their customers know what the fuck is going on.

as an artist, i find it inexcusable to ghost people who PAID YOU because you can't be bothered to fulfill what you promised and/or took on too mucat once and/or are stressed. at least make a post in ur thread saying smth, especially if you're already online everyday. and then offer refunds to ppl who don't want to wait any longer.

i get it, art takes time, shit happens. but you can't just ghost your customers. it's uncool and word will get around and then you'll have no customers any longer bc no one wants to chance you running off with their money for months with no communication with them.

tl;dr – barring emergencies, artists who take commissions are obligated to communicate with their customers and update them on the status of commissions.

Thoughts on our episode oops:

This ones a lot stronger than i was expecting which is good!

- The beginning of the episode isnt quite my normal favorite beginning to an episode but it works for telling us fizz and ozzie are a couple and their actual dynamic which id say we needed screen time given to because its kind of an act (even though i liked the prior established idea fizz and Ozzies relationship might be that they find love gross despite being in a relationship bc its more about whats agreed upon to constitute it)

- Again i think itd really sell a theme to the episode if Ozzie didnt want to go with Fizz to get milk out of concern theyd be mistaken as a couple causing a part of the reason fizz gets into this mess

- i think Striker shouldve been kidnapped by Crimson who running out of men and money would rather kidnap and force an assassin to work for him or be killed than risk cutting his numbers down further after what Millie did. Especially bc arguably prior episodes have implied Striker is better at one on one fights and is easily overpowered when out numbered.

- Im not super on board with Striker pulling Fizz and Blitzo off the street so easily when if Fizz and Ozzie were a poorly kept secret whys it in the paper as proven and not a "shits hit the fan" moment? And hows he weaker than Bee when he's very clearly muscular? Maybe if Stiker was trying to grab Fizz's dogs especially the albino one recognizing them as Ozzies and therefore something hed pay a pretty penny for. Only to by chance pull up Blitzo and Fizz whos mistaken as Ozzies dog walker.

-okay so in backstory the fire is green. But then shouldnt he be bothered by said green fire in Loolooland and why didn't we see it in his trip?

-tbh shouldn't he possibly bc scared of horses too bc of this?

-"but you have no idea what i lost in that fire" blitzo says this like it was the start of his villain arc but personally? It just feel really insensitive to Fizz and unaware of the fact his pettiness to push someone caused this

-its really too bad barbie was scrapped from the scene bc if Blitzo walked off because he heard her scream and basically went to find hed only to catch as the tent burned down it would better justify him walking away from fizz than "trying to get help" which doesnt. Read as such.

-honestly too the fact blitz is implied to have killed people makes me think it wouldve worked better if perhaps fizz ans his mom were outliers but largely the issue was he put every one out of a job. Jobs that likely dont have very transferable skills. As they may have had the money to keep the circus going but never enough to replace everything lost in a moment like that. (Also a throw back to how hell doesnt have insurance)

-fizzs song is pretty good! With the music though i semi wish Look At This couldve been a song where Fizz is actually trying to fool Crim and his group into thinking Ozzie and Stolas have shown up especially because Fizz may not know much about fighting but he absolutely might know how to set a scene and inprovise. Maybe a bit akin to Make A Lot of Noise from the Toy Story musical.

-again wish Ozzies now offered to go with Fizz any time he leaves the house and Fizz (who went from saying he doesnt know how to fight to throwing a punch) says he can handle himself but hed love for them to go out together as a couple. Ozzie saying he doesnt need to leave the house and he'll have body guard everywhere with him reads too infatilizing and assuming Fizz as incompetent for my taste

- Salem did the concept art for this episode and the fact viv didnt credit them is really disappointing. If i can i would like to ask ppl be aware of that and maybe check those out bc they have every right to be proud of the work they did

Edit: this post is too long it’s going under read more so I don’t feel as evil tagging it okay thanks. Hi guys it’s me the asshole again can I say smth possibly controversial and tone deaf? Okay thanks .

I think a terrible amount of backlash towards SSO is done under the assumption that SSO is a small team that became a large Horse Game Corporation with a monopoly on Horse Games in the last 13 years . This is not true. SSO is still a small game worked on by a small team (there’s frequent posts on their instagram featuring basically the whole team— including like the Singular Lady that models all the horses. Like that’s One Person, Maybe More but Not A Lot More). Just bc it has more polish does not mean it’s suddenly not made by a small team in a likely rented office space who strive to pay their workers fairly. Lots of ppl on Reddit saying shit like “I wonder if the higher-ups at the sso company make it so the designers can’t do whatever they want :(“ There aren’t any higher-ups. It’s important to me that you know that. SSO hiking prices and lowering rewards and releasing smaller and smaller updates CAN be a bit shitty, I’m not saying it’s not. I’m saying there’s nuance that’s lost when a bunch of primarily older teenaged and adult women and queer ppl— (I am aware how insane that sounds but I don’t think many straight cis dudes are rockin with the horse game, and if they are they’re not the majority) —are yelling in Instagram comment sections about how shitty the SSO dev team is because they (checks notes) have to raise the prices of their horse game because they have to maintain a livable wage for themselves, pay rent and utility bills on their machines and spaces that they need to even make the game, and pay for marketing and other expenses, in a global post-Covid hyper-inflated economy. So woe is you that star coins cost more. A 10k star coin gift card used to be 108 dollars around my neck of the woods (America) and now it’s 79.99. That’s less money btw in case you can’t do math because you’re too blinded by your rage over game designers, artists, developers, and coders being paid more than peanuts to update the same fucking game for 13 years WEEKLY. Okay man. Whatever. Old man yelling at cloud over here. A lot of this has been building for months-years now but the Medieval Arena update really like, made it apparent to me for some reason. Maybe it’s cuz I like the update I think it’s cute I think it’s nice and small and quaint. But like— it’s So Obvious that the Medieval Arena and all its little additions and the future ones were made by a small team of people who just, wanted to have a fun Renaissance Fair in their game that they make. Bc yknow, again, they’re updating and making a game that they are paid to update and make because they want to update and make it. Sorry you don’t like shitty jousting mechanics and a cute lil fairground . Do you also hate the sun for shining? Oh you miss the old events? Oh you hate that sso is all corporate and lifeless now? Should we tell everyone? Should we invite Bella Hadid? Have you even once considered that maybe the people who make the game are People making a Game, and they can do whatever they want with their game? You, yes you, can also do whatever you want. You have the hands that create. You don’t get mad at an artist with a canvas and paints for doing art the wrong way, right? So why is it okay to get mad at an artist with a computer and a coding software for doing art the wrong way? Every horse, building, character, clothing, tack, tree, bush, boat, car, and all the hundreds of other things in this game are made by hand by dedicated people but yeah, you’re mad that they Chose To Do Something THEY Wanted To Do over doing the thirteenth birthday event in a row to appease a bunch of people who never seem to be happy with their art anyway. Fuck off. Sorry for yelling. I’m not sorry but sorry for yelling. Please die.

[desire-mona]

WARNING I ramble whoops.

Okay bestie so the AI Olympics situation is thus: lots of commercials for the type of AI that is with like… computers? Like Gemini for Google and Copilot for Microsoft (?) and things like that.

The Copilot ones entail lots of work use, so like “Copilot, summarize this meeting.” “Copilot, make this sheet of words into a product presentation.” And it’s being presented like “look we can make it so you don’t have to actually work AI will make your presentation for you in five minutes :)” “wow we can summarize your meeting so you don’t have to pay attention if you don’t want :)” Which. I hope the thinly-veiled threat is obvious? Like this is a poor prospect. If AI will be able to do that so effectively, jobs won’t go to humans, especially if all the humans are doing is using the AI. It’s framed so manipulatively so that you don’t think, “hey, maybe we DON’T want to encourage more machines just doing peoples’ jobs.” Plus there’s a privacy element, why would you want AI monitoring your calls. That’s weird, just in concept, especially when privacy is a precious commodity. Plus obviously the plagiarism with the presentations. It’s just AI art for businesses. Now we don’t have to pay an artist! Die.

And then there’s one in particular that I just hate, and I think it’s for Gemini? I can’t remember for sure. But the whole ad is like a dad talking about how his daughter wants to be like one of the Olympic sprinters. And instead of writing a letter… He tells the AI to write him a letter to send to the athlete….. what the fuck???? He spends most of the commercial essentially dictating the perfect letter anyway, so it’s so stupid and pointless, but it’s also super worrying because is this really what they want us to do with AI? They want to add a useless middleman just so they can make money? Are we not valuing the simplicity of human connection? Why would he not just write the letter himself WHY WOULD YOU WANT AI TO WRITE YOU A LETTER TO SOMEONE YOU REALLY ADMIRE THAT MAKES NO SENSE.

So sorry for how long this is I didn’t realize how mad it made me but I was just talking about it with my dad and it’s ridiculous.

TL;DR the Olympics AI commercials are ridiculous and if you know how to read between the lines, they’re super concerning also for literally the future of humanity in various ways.

ok cool yeah so this is next to nothing like the superbowl jesus washed feet commercial awesome!

i find it soooooo hard to talk abt ai without feeling like im just repeating talking points i stole from other ppl, my ai hate just feels so obviously justified and i really do find it baffling that people dont care. ummm i cant stop using the shitty robot that drains the earth of its natural resources and steals from the people who put actual passion into their work? hello? i have to use it to make this shitty image of a fish where i had to enter in like 5 different elaborate hyper specific prompts in order for it to be halfway right! we should also let this robot listen and look at everything we do ever and also let it do everything that people do btw

heres a good video that sums up my thoughts

[toestalucia]

hi event stuff again. but its very spoiler-y this time

Beyond the wall, the crew run into a trove of deadly traps that make dealing with the guards seem like playtime in retrospect. With careful determination, they manage to clear each and every one, but the immense effort it takes starts to show on their faces. Sato: Sure it was scary, but hey. We made out with barely a scratch, just like I said we would, yeah? Man, it's a good thing you guys are used to absolute chaos. Makes things a lot easier for me!

'used to absolute chaos' JKADBKKAJD....WELL......shes not wrong

THATS MY CAPTAINS SPRITES !!!!!!!!! SEVILBARRA MENTIONED!!!!!!!! btw im still living of the leonora mention early on LOL lov that kid shes so funny i wanna see her again. anyway i think using the samurai class sprites was cool, its good art

Sato: Showing people what a real ninja is is why I learned ninjutsu from Ko in the first place. I saw myself becoming the true ninja I'd only read about in books, celebrated across the skies for my skill and beauty… That'd been a dream of mine since I was little. But I guess I had given up on it.

saying this after mirin poured her heart out was ridiculous(laughed

the reflection in the blade is soooooo cool...

yuzuriha finally shows up & does the coolest thing in the entire event with the greatest sprite ive seen this event

Jinnai: Wait, you there! You're skyfarers, aren't you? Whatever your price, I'll pay it! Just kill him, quickly! Choice: No thanks. Vyrn: Sorry to tell ya, old man, but we get to choose which assignments we accept. And there's no amount of money you could pay us to take on a request from you!

& then vyrn tripping him. vyrn u r the greatest of them all

almost had another event where ppl died. that would not have been great for grans mental

anyway was there no art this event ???????? huh

[strangled-mangoes]

FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT‼️‼️‼️ I LOVE YOU

and forgive me but i am going to hijack this post to focus on the anti-capitalist message (that u mentioned). i was talking to my friend and had a lot to say, so i think other ppl should see it too (even if it’s just you, op)

in the end credits (that u mentioned with the mural <333), there are several period art styles referenced and some specific paintings in particular.

Sunrise by Claude Monet

Monet focused on France's industrialization(?) (i don't know if that's the word they were using at the time), and so the background is the most important part of the piece-- big smokestacks creating smog above the water, turning the sun red due to the smoke (which is something my friend & I are familiar with in california during forest fires).

It was supposed to be a celebration of France's achievements, highlighting their new technology. Small rowboats are in the foreground, but they are not at all the focus. Also, Monet actively ignored residential buildings that would've been in the background irl, in favor of what he wanted the painting to focus on.

This painting is referenced in WALL-E, however...!

The foreground is made to be the focus, highlighting the sailboats, which do not pollute, and in the background, the sky is clear!

But what I find really interesting is that while Monet made his sun clear (which of course it was, even at sunrise, smoke blocks the rest of the light), WALL-E hid their sun behind residential buildings! You can still tell it's sunrise, though, because the sun's rays light up the sky so brightly and clearly, and they leave a reflection on the clear water (Monet's Sunrise also has a reflection on the water, but it's only from the sun itself, and the water is murky anyway).

instead of celebrating new technology (which pollutes the Earth), it's celebrating the life and beauty of the Earth itself!

Bathers at Asnieres & A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat

These paintings are a set, though the second painting is much more well-known.

“A Sunday Afternoon” depicts upper-class people enjoying themselves on the rich's side of the river, while “Bathers” depicts the poor on their side.

While there are many similarities between both paintings, something I find interesting is how much bleaker Bathers is compared to A Sunday Afternoon (color-wise). It makes sense that the rich would have access to more color for their clothes, but even the riverbank is greener! This could just be because Bathers was painted before, so maybe Seurat had less experience in his style, or maybe it's just been preserved worse. But, I'd like to think it's intentional.

Also, the reason A Sunday Afternoon is more well-known than its companion piece, is probably because the people who were buying art were the people that painting was made for, so they would have little interest in the one depicting the poor.

WALL-E’s version

the Bathers painting is much more colorful, and the man fishing appears happier than the man sitting in the original.

The sad truth in WALL-E is that the people on the Axiom & other ships are descendants of rich people 700 years ago (by time of their return). The people who did not go on the "5 year cruise" got left behind to die, as Buy n' Large (global corporation and government) decided it was "easier" if everyone just stayed in space, instead of trying to fix the planet.

WALL-E is shown to have a large collection of lighters (which are ofc produced by BnL), probably due to people trying to smoke away their problems in their last years on Earth.

But, when humans on the Axiom returned to Earth, not only did they restore life, they removed money entirely (evidence: a girl gets fish from a man and isnt shown paying or trading for them).

The captain learned about farming and dancing, not the economy!

At the end of WALL-E, humanity sacrificed wealth for happiness.

you can’t get more blatantly anti-capitalist than that!

Idk, I'm a huge WALL-E fan, but I feel like if you watched that movie and got "socialism makes you a disgusting fat fatso fatty and lazy and you must grow your own food like a true aryan and disabled people die challenge" I feel like you may have taken the fat jokes a bit too personally.

I am speaking as a fat person!!!

Was fatness used as a joke in WALL-E? I mean, yeah, it was, absolutely. Cheap shot for sure, but oh my God, y'all, the fat characters we were introduced to didn't STAY as fat jokes. They became people!

They were written very respectfully for the latter half of the time we saw them, they were in LOVE with EACH OTHER and it wasn't a joke! They put themselves in danger to protect fat babies, and it wasn't a joke!

They were introduced as a shock-value joke, but the writers didn't KEEP THEM that way.

And on top of it all, they STAYED FAT at the end. There's no time skip where they're buff or skinny, there's a mural where they're STILL FAT.

And just to tack it on, that movie is as anticapitalist as a Disney Pixar movie can be without actually saying it.

They didn't have a socialist utopia on the ship, they were entirely reliant on their CONSUMERISM. Their whole lives revolved around CONSUMERISM to a point where THE ROBOTS had more human curiosity than the humans themselves!!! The humans who quite literally followed paths set by robots, trends set by programs, fashion and art set by algorithms!!!! Their whole lives were programmed for them!!! They were not active participants in their own lives

Also, the earth was DESTROYED by consumerism and a mega corporation. THEY SPENT THE WHOLE FIRST HALF OF THE MOVIE MAKING SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT.

They absolutely did not have a "socialism and fat people bad" message, they had a "earth can be saved if we work together" message, the movie is literally for children c'mon y'all

[oflgtfol]

Do you do commissions? :0c

ahh no sorry!! i dont have a viable way to accept any form of payment and i just dont rlly feel like im.. Good enough?? plus its so hard to get motivated even just for my own pleasure so a sense of Obligation just sounds …. too much for me lmao,,, but

DEPENDING on what it is…. i mayyybe accept requests?? that’d take care of the Not Allowed To Have A Paypal Or Anything Like That issue and also the obligation and i’d feel so mucn more comfortable drawing it bc then like.. it doesnt matter if it came out less than my expectations bc its not like you paid me $30 or anything at all for it… BUT yeah it does depend on what it is, if im comfortable drawing it, if i have the time, if its anything super complicated, yeah bc ultimately it is. free. so its not like im gonna slave for 48 hours straight on it lmao

THIS IS SUCH A RAMBLY ANSWER so tl;dr no to commissions, but maybe yes to drawing it anyway depending on what it is?

hey kels how did you figure out what you'd do for work?

do you mean profession or specialty? ill answer BOTH bc the answer is the same

GOT CANCER. WENT SEPTIC. ALMOST DIED. the single most influential event of my LIFE this is why i am so patient and like positive or whatever bc literally nothing is worse than almost dying. that shit SUCKED. anyway i knew i wanted to do SOMETHING in oncology but it took me years to even begin processing that shit and i worked FOR YEARS after in a meangirls viper pit i refer to exclusively as babyhell (daycare (derogatory)) so it took me a hot minute to really figure myself out.

DISCLAIMER that i am the kinda person who makes life choices QUICK AS SHIT bc i know myself really well and i have a pretty good sense of what i want. idk if u can tell but im a v fast pace kind of person so when i decided to become a nurse it was in like a 5min stretch of Thinking and then i was just like Yeah this is It. my RAPID FIRE thought process in those 5 min was basically is this a field where my personal attributes and experiences can make a positive impact on other ppl?? the answer was YES. i also thought CAN I MAKE MONEY?? the answer here was ALSO yes. TWO BIRDS, A SINGLE STONE.

in baby hell i WAS making positive impacts on kiddos and their families (several families left when i left bc of how much they trusted me blah blah) but like it was NOT rewarding to me. too much stress too little payoff bc i love kids but they arent my PASSION u feel?? ALSO pay was TRASH GARBO. ANYWAY when i thought abt working w cancer patients or people who i could relate to in terms of life/traumatic medical experiences it was something i immediately vibed w bc i knew that common ground could facilitate meaningful therapeutic interactions in an otherwise massively stressful environment.

for me, personally, its a matter of giving back. my oncology nurses fucking ROCKED and made me feel like a person during a time where even well meaning ppl reduced me to a pitiable diagnosis they could use to fuel their tragedy porn. i wanna PAY THAT SHIT FORWARD, so even working medsurg, the most NOTORIOUSLY MISERABLE AND SOUL SUCKING type of nursing there is (memes abt medsurg nurses wishing for death or being dead inside or crying every shift are TOO REAL) i still dont regret becoming a nurse and still find meaning and satisfaction in it even during shifts that make me feel batshit miserable and soul sucked.

choosing a Job or a Career doesnt need to hinge on WORTHINESS or POSITIVE IMPACT or whatever, ig its like what you find fulfilling!! and also not necessarily what youre GOOD at (eg a lot of GOOD AT DRAWS ppl go into art/ani industry and fucking LOATHE it every day. this is why i did not go to art skool). theres that pressure that u gotta figure urself out young as fuck blah blah etc but life can be long!!! you can go turtle pace. there were several 50-60+yos in my nurse school cohort!!

i am trying not to get soapbox pep talky here. anyway i only am an insane fast track nutbag bc i almost died, so basically thats how i make all my life choices.

I'm not doing cottagecore questions unless you pay me. I hate cottagecore & I am the cottageburner lol

I track scammers, specifically the scammer ivysour, who makes fake fundraisers using stolen (and edited, so they can’t be reverse image searched) photos, info, and fake names and paypals. They especially like to do scam fundraisers for animals (usually dogs) and have been doing this since at least 2020 with over 70 (probably closer to 100 or more) scam blogs. I have an entire list with receipts and their other urls that they’ve had, their tactics, their paypals and used names, their stolen photos, and the proof where I’ve called them out. Here’s my big scam list with info on them if you’d like to have a look. If you have any concerns over a potential scam feel free to send an ask or message me so I can investigate!

Oh, and if you see any people accusing ME of scamming & saying I "manipulated" people, that's an angry scammer trying to convince people I'm the scammer so people won't believe me when I call out any bullshit with proof.

No new followers under 16 please. I rarely post ns/fw and the like outside of jokes and art nudity (like old paintings & greek statues) (& even then its pretty rare), but I do swear a lot. Minors block the tag "not safe for staff"

I will only be reblogging your donation post if your archive is viewable, and I can see you've had frequent activity for at least a few years & it doesn't look staged. I don't care if you tag me or ask me to reblog. I've seen enough scams to be wary of new blogs suddenly asking for money. If you keep pestering me about it or directly ask me for money I'll block you.

Also, do not follow me if the only reason you're following me if to keep tabs on my blog & regularly ask me to boost your post(s). I'll rb ppl's donation posts & the like pretty happily most times, but I want ppl to follow me moreso because they like my content, my posts & opinions & thoughts, my art, my edits, my personality, something. Otherwise I just feel used

I can't believe I have to say this, but don't follow if you're one of those "anti anti" people, that's gross.

Not to be one of those people but I'm Native who lives in a family of hunters, I sometimes post about skinning and preparing hides, and I prioritise Natives sustainabily hunting/trapping & living traditionally over the feelings of white vegans or vegetarians. I have no problem with vegetarianism or veganism, & I think the meat industry is an evil that needs to be changed & for the most part gotten rid of, but if you don't like ndns hunting & trapping & try to tell us not to then we're gunna have a problem

I block blank blogs. If you're an old, beloved mutual remaking and I blocked you, it was probably a mistake! Let me know so I can unblock you

My art tag here is #justin's art, & my edits tag is #justin's edits

I will eventually leave this blog altogether but I'm not sure when. For now I'm semi archived & not here as much. Please do not ask where I'm moving. If i follow you I follow you.

12 Anti LO Asks

1. i feel like in the beginning at least the painterly look actually looked nice and could distract from the less than stellar writing, but now it looks so rushed and makes it look sloppy. i know photoshop specifically doesnt have good paint mixing tools, but it just looks so ugly now.

2. listen im not going to nitpick that sometimes the eyes in lo arent consistent levels unless its particularly egregious (and trust me there are some really bad examples) but i do think it speaks to how bad the art style actually is when its praised for being so "beautiful".   like if it marketed itself as unique, then that's more excusable, but its marketed as some groundbreaking piece of art, which falls flat when we see facial features cant stay consistent and it looks rushed and flat.

From OP: To clarify, the assistant would have to do 20 panels for a week (from what was stated). However, it definitely has to be done before a week since it has to be ready by Sunday. With the pay of $450 USD total, that’s $22.50 per panel. I think the assistant would spend 30 - 45 min  per panel if RS is hiring someone who can do it fast.

I’m iffy on the payment but I still need to clarify because I feel some of these asks have some misleading information or misinterpreted the post in this next section.

-----

3. yall why is rachel AGAIN asking fo helpers? doesnt she have 5+ team already? the lack of same figures only adds to the degraded quality of art. also doing 20+ panels with inking, coloring, & lettering? other webtoon artists and the WT itself have gone on record its required for a featured comic's panel count to be 40 panels ... so rachel is basically only paying $450 for someone to do over half of the work she's supposed to do for while she gets all the fast pass, merch, and ad revenue. cool...

4. ok but no that ad rachel put out legit makes me mad esp considering how low the pay actually is. shes asking whoever applies to do the inking AND all the coloring while she what, only slaps on random shadows and puts in her misspelled dialogue? especially when its 20+ panels? the person would have to do 95% of the actual work for a solid chunk of the ep,and that doesnt include the other people on team who also do 95+ of the work. the whole situation makes her really look unpleasant and greedy.

5. me with my tea, watching people drag rachel for her trying to pay barely anything for assistants to do most of her work and only really paying in "expose": oh no, anyway -

6. rachel purposely turning off replies and comments to her posts asking for help which has shit pay on it ... she is aware its a bad look and still is trying to silence people on calling her out on it. this is not a good look, smythe.

7. i guess that anon who admitted the art team of LO work in batches while only working off sketches is right, and for a shockingly low pay too. if thats how the team is paid too then her team isnt even making minimum wage despite doing most of the work. i wanted to give the benefit of a doubt towards rachel but this honestly looks so scummy, especially when we know she's making a lot of money off fast passes, merch, and book deals. it's honestly gross to see her true colors come out like this.

8. people did the math on rachel's pricing for working for her and its at best like ... $5 an hour. and w/ the locked comments too? thats her being aware she KNOWS shes taking advantage of new and young artists because they worship her while she scams them fo work for barely nothing in compensation. youd think someone who lucked out this ,uch on her first try with her bad writing & art would know to pay at least minimum wage, but nah. this is so telling to her actual character its not nice. :/

9. rachel makes so much money off LO its honestly disgusting shes taking advantage of her fans to literally do the work for her while not even paying the lowest end of minimum wage. im seeing a fair few ppl calling her out over this so hopefully no one gets scammed and shes forced to actually pay them if someone reaches out, but considering shes ignoring it to instead retweet fan art is very telling.

10. TBH the funniest (worst?) part about Rachel's pricing is you know she'd be pissed if someone offered that little for her to do so much work, yet she's perfectly happy to ask her fans to do so for her while she gets the credit for it? Maybe that anon was right, the greedy capitalist, woe-is-me Hades IS her self insert. Who knew!

11. my little brother works at mcdonalds and gets paid $600+ a week meanwhile rachel cant even pay her workers even that for doing the bulk of the literal work for her? also flats and inks take different skills yet she expects them to do two jobs for one with such little pay on top of it??? shes wildin for this im sorry to say 💀 unionize webtoons now 💀

-----

-----FP Spoilers/Mention-----

12. One thing i don't get about the fast past episode is... doesn't Hades actually LIKES kids? Like, we have seen him happy hugging Hebe, he has no problem with holding Triton while Poseidon drinks something and he was pretty sweet to that little kid nymph that give him a cow. Why would he be okay with macking a child work? Does shades of dead children ALSO become slaves?

Also, this "backstory" with Thanatos comes out of nowhere? There was literally nothing that suggested Thanatos saw Hades as a paternal figure or that he respected him or had some sort of special affection for him? Even when he practically raised him, Hades didn't got atached to him even a little bit? He seems annoyed at Thanatos most of the time and doesn't look like he actually likes him... Was Thanatos literally hooking up with his "adoptive" father's girlfriend??? And let me tell you, NYX WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ONE OF HER CHILDREN.

Come on, this is the goddess that was so angry that Zeus was being mean to one of her precious children that she SCARED THE TARTARUS OUT OF ZUES! Nyx would never abandon a kid Thanatos at Hades house,said "here, he is here to serve you" and then leave like she has better things to do. Is RS  planing to also do a "golden child and scapegoat" thing like she did with Artemis and Apollo but with Thanatos and Hypnos? (Than's twin brother) becuase i can't think in another reasson why she would make Nyx do something like abandoning her son.... 

[sukunastoy]

hey, srry to be the one to rant in ur inbox but i saw u were open to anons and ur one of the few ppl ik in this fandom space thts around my age group and i was just wondering. how??

ive been on tumblr and in fandom/fanfic communities since i waz around 15, its basically my main hobby and pretty much the only social outlet i have, and ive just been so down and so lonely because ive been feeling shunned and excluded pretty much everywhere once i disclose my age and i absolutly completely understand WHY bc there r so many younger ppl in these places, but i dont know what else to do. it feels like nothing is fun anymore. the general consensus seems to b that i should just fck off and have some kids and pay bills until i die. how do u deal with it?? are u ever bothered by it? i feel likr a creep for even being here still, but it’s one of the only things i still have tht brings me joy. srry if that was a lot, i feel bad even compareing myself to u in any way because im nowhere near as talented as u are, absolutly delete this if it makes u uncomfortable whatsoever

hope u are doing well yourself 💙 ty for being u

First of all, NEVER be sorry to rant to my inbox!! And I truly feel appreciative for you to tell me all of this. This is a safe space and you're always welcome to it! My reply is a bit long, I didn't want to flood anyone with a super long post, so the rest is beneath the cut.

I completely understand how you feel, about the age thing and the ever present societal norms of "Must be an adult, must have kids, must do this, yada yada". Its depressing as fuck.

I've been into anime and manga since around 13-14 years old (apart from Pokemon which I've loved -And still do!- since the age of 5.)

I always wrote fanfics, always did fanart, even if I thought it was absolute garbage, I was still so happy just doing it. It has been something that got me through the toughest times in my life. I struggle with suicidal depression, always have for as long as I can remember, even back in my single digit days before even becoming a teenager. When I started to reach the age of "adulthood" I started to shy away from what I loved doing because I felt as an adult, I wasn't allowed to enjoy what I truly loved anymore, cause I needed to "grow up." And I did that. For a while. I rarely acknowledged anime. I sold all of my manga, my wall scrolls, my merch. I stopped drawing/writing it as much cause I needed to focus on being an adult, paying my bills, going to college, all that crap.

But, I got worse in my depression. I self harmed, had to go to therapy, had to start medication, and at one point I actually wrote that final goodbye note because I couldn't handle the norm of "being a mature adult" so I figured I must be useless otherwise. If I wasn't happy playing my adult role in society, what was the point of me even living?

During this time I went to college for 3 years, stressing, crying, working on a degree that I didn't even want because I thought it was expected of me. (I've always wanted to go to an art school and get a degree there. But my parents and everyone else in family told me, thats not a real degree. So I left it behind...) For 3 years I wasted my time and money and sanity to try to appease the people who don't pay my bills, don't put food in my mouth and certainly don't do shit for me otherwise, and I finally stopped and thought...

WHY?

WHY am I trying to impress and fit in with people who don't even really know me or provide for me?

I dropped out of the college that was stressing me out. I lost that money, but oh well, I was miserable, and my mental health is more important to me.

I don't want kids. I don't want that boring life of "just work til your dead". I don't want to have boring hobbies that I don't even like just to fit in with the people of my age range who I could care less about.

I'm turning 30 in a few months, and I regret wasting a few years of my life trying to fit into this norm of, bullshit. (And please note to whoever is reading this, if doing a lot of the 'norm' and having a family with kids and everything IS happiness for you, that is beautiful!! I am only referring to the people who don't want that life, and it should NOT be forced upon them.)

I love anime. I love drawing it, writing fics for it, interacting with other people over it, and I don't know why I ever tried to deny that.

I was afraid to return online in the fandoms because surely everyone must only be young teenagers right? Actually, not at all!

I've interacted with SO MANY people near my age range, and, it is truly amazing.

There are lots of people close in age, sometimes they're just a little difficult to find, but they are there, I promise, and they are amazing. I've enjoyed anime more in my adult life now than when I was younger tbh because I stopped caring about what others think and that my age is literally just a number. I'll be 30. So what, that doesn't change what I love. My body is getting older, that's all. I am still ME.

My fiance and I still go out and play Pokemon Go, collect Pokemon cards, like, I have BINDERS full of cards. The store we go to is ALWAYS packed with other people our age and way older who love Pokemon, Digimon, YuGiOh, and all sorts of other anime things they offer there.

These people are out there!

I started being more open with my likes and interests with strangers and coworkers, and I found out a lot of people really are into this, but felt they had to keep it hidden cause they didn't want anyone to think they were weird because of their age.

I surround myself with those who I know are supportive of me, or don't have a problem with my likes and interests and I stay away from those who try to shame me, and I kick them out of my life because I don't need that negativity in my circle. Some people my age who aren't into anime don't have a problem with me being into it at all. They've never shunned me for it. If anyone does, goodbye.

Life is short, its hard, its shitty. It doesn't need to be made worse by trying to appease those who aren't providing for you or feeling like you're not allowed to love what you love. So enjoy the things you love to enjoy. If there's something that you can latch onto that brings honest happiness into your life, cherish it.

I hope this helped in some way...even if just a tiny bit...

I know it was long, but I wanted to explain as much as I could so you don't feel like you're alone or left behind in the fandoms because of age. I tried to deny what brought me joy, and it only brought me more misery. I hated it.

I'm so much happier now, and I truly hope this type of peace comes for you soon as well.

Always feel free to drop in my inbox as anon, I would NEVER delete something like this.

Again, I hope this helped. If I didn't acknowledge something, or seemed to entirely misunderstand, I dearly apologize and please correct me if needed!!

💕 (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

[save-the-spiral]

PLS PLS LIST THE SWAPS!! TELL ME ABOUT THE SIBLINGS AND ALSO HIFUMI BECAUSE I LOVE HIM (IF YOU WANT!) I will also send more questions in the morning too, excited to see what you’ve been working on!!

OK OK OK !!!!! AHH! So, before assigning talents, I swapped the pools, so for the first game, I use the talents from the second game, and vis versa! For some i listed gender, sexuality, or neurodivergencies, though this isn’t all of them, and I haven’t developed them all to the same level!

This is SO long. I didn’t even bother mentioning things like my plans for the killing games. (I have DR1 planned out in full, but only parts of DR2 and the v3 anime)

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT IN HAPPINESS WHEN I SAW I HAD NEW ASK NOTIFS!!

LIST:

Trigger Happy Havoc (first game)

Kyoko Kirigiri- Ultimate Luckster- Mastermind (: Sometimes lesbians can be evil okay! was trained as a detective like everyone in her family and didn’t get the ultimate :) she’s definitely not mad about that :) her luck cycle depends on how far she plans things ahead. her good luck is when she’s spontaneous! She hates when ‘normal’ people are accepted by ultimates.

Makoto Naegi- Photographer (Mostly wildlife and nature photography, with Sayaka helping him for some animal photography (: trans and bi <3 One of sayaka’s birds nests in his hair like all the time)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru- Ultimate Swordsman (AUTISTIC ICON, has trained in kendo since he was a kid, then was essentially given away to the Fujisaki clan by his very stressed dad. Semiverbal, rarely speaks.)

Chihiro Fujisaki- Ultimate Yakuza (Taka is her bodyguard! His family is in debt to hers, the Fujisaki clan is the most powerful in Japan. trans icon, of course, dates Sayaka! Very direct, though she’s far more delicate and polite when talking to taka, her best friend)

Sakura Oogami- Ultimate Nurse (Works as an EMT- her clan still is in martial arts, so she’s still very buff, she assists in injuries at the family dojo. Autistic Icon)

Asahina Aoi- Ultimate Gamer (ULTIMATE ADHD. streams and has a ton of fun, will ramble while breaking records, demigirl who loves her girlfriend sakura :)

Mukuro Ikusaba- Ultimate Chef (Works best with ‘cheap’ food, and making them taste good. a byproduct of growing up on the streets with junko, and junko being bored of the same old food they dug out of the trash. now works closely with junko for her teams’ nutritional needs! autistic and sapphic.)

Junko Enoshima- Ultimate Team Manager (there are SO many sports she can never get bored, and the professional scene is always changing! prefers coaching womens’ teams, because being an ultimate brings them more publicity and usually higher pay :)

Mondo Oowada- Ultimate Prince (OH MY BOY. trans adhd icon. now the crown prince of Novoselic, with a reagent in his place until he comes of age. His service dog Chuck is a maltese and an absolute sweetheart. Chihiro takes him under her wing to teach leadership. also dates taka later OF COURSE, though they’re poly and I may add more ppl to their relationship later.)

Celestia Ludenburg- Ultimate Musician (specializes in violin, most strings, though she can play any instrument. grew up poor, dedicated herself to an instrument and persona to cope)

Byakuya Togami- Ultimate Musician (Yep. two musicians. two catty trans gay icons about to throw down. they HATE each other and grew up as rivals. specialize in classical, they literally tore a professional orchestra full of grown adults apart trying to make them side with who was the best musician. they’re so good that they’re matched, and Hope’s Peak accepts them as one student and combined ultimate. they room together. they fight. Literally if one of them gets expelled, the other does too, so they’re STUCK. eventually they become literally inseparable and insufferable together like the WORST siblings. I love them.)

Sayaka Maizono- Breeder (animal handler) (Specializes in birds!!!!!! has songbirds on her shoulders all the time. will give unsettling animal facts without realizing they’re unsettling. sends her songbirds to serenade chihiro when they start dating <3)

Yasuhiro Hagakure- Gymnast (you see this tall goof who acts like an older brother to everyone and wonder HOW he’s a gymnast. he’s completely different in competitions, though still lighthearted. becomes a big brother figure to mukuro and junko especially <3 also trans bc i say so.)

Leon Kuwata- Traditional Dancer (he just. kinda hates it. it takes SO much work and effort but he takes to it naturally. his cousin kanon is NOT like in canon, instead she’s helpful. he’d literally rather be doing anything else. doesn’t know how to do anything like... basic either. can’t cook. cant do his own laundry. everything was dedicated to traditional japanese dancing before he attended HPA.)

Toko Fukawa- Engineer (writes schematics and is very good at it. gets VERY upset when her plans go wrong. her notes are orderly and perfect. host for their system!)

Syo- Mechanic (a factive of genocider syo, NOT an actual killer. she’s a protector mainly, and also is more adept at hands on skills when it comes to fixing things, her hands are less shaky. Her notes are a disaster and she does it to spite Toko.)

Hifumi Yamada- (???) (reserve course) Protagonist! My BOY. HIFUMI IS GOOD OKAY. He’s autistic and loves anime and gaming! he’s not particularly ultimate-leveled at them, or anything else! Attending Hope’s Peak as a reserve course student! At one point he joins the student council as a reserve course representative even if he’s only a freshman :) He’s also a moderator in Hina’s livestream chat, under the username of JusticeHammer, fastest ban hammer this side of the internet. He's internet friends with hina and sakura, and doesn’t realize Oh We Go To the same SCHOOL until he bumps into them. and realizes hina doesnt know what he looks like. but sakura does. its hilarious. he’s aroace, and during the year they’re locked in HPA, is in a queer platonic partnership with Hina and Sakura, while they’re dating each other. it’s great.)

Goodbye Despair! (second game)

Peko Pekoyama- Lucky student (ohohoh. her luck relies on her conviction. if she has doubts her bad luck strikes HARD. trans!, was taken in by Fuyuhiko’s family when she was a baby, grew up as just another kid in the family. They all expected Fuyu to go off to HPA on his own and then BOOM acceptance letter)

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu- Programmer (He. gets so angry while coding. He has an array of rubber ducks to talk to and work through his coding issues with. trans of course. Very protective of Peko when people say she doesn’t have a ‘real’ ultimate. ADHD and Autistic)

Sonia Nevermind- Writer (Literary Girl) (Her family immigrated to Japan when she was young! She writes a lot of serial killer novels, murder mysteries and horror and all that! Trans and bi :)

Gundham Tanaka- Detective (YEAH my guy is a detective. still talks Like That. Trans and bi and he and Sonia were kinda-dating (t4t autistic power couple in the making) when things started happening. He spends some time with his cool older sister who he looks up to a LOT. He and Sonia talk through things together a lot, they both have those red string walls, one for murder cases, another for a fictional plot lmao.)

Mahiru Koizumi- Moral Compass (my GIRL. autistic. Her morals rely a lot on people taking responsibility and being reliable, and she ends up having to work through some biases she didn’t realize she had when she arrived at HPA. Is still protective of Hiyoko, though that protectiveness is spread a bit thinner to extend to the rest of the class.)

Hiyoko Saionji- Clairvoyant!!! (HI YES I COULD TALK ABOUT HER FOR DAYS. Has actual visions in dreams and when she suddenly faints, but doesn’t really realize they’re uhh Real Visions for a WHILE. uses her status as an ultimate clairvoyant to trick and bully kids when in school for a LONG time, though her homelife wasn’t great with her grandmother trying to find ways to make her visions more consistent. SHES ALSO 12 WHEN SHE JOINS THE 77TH CLASS. she’s just so advanced in academics and her ultimate is so interesting hope’s peak cant HELP but scout her early. she has SO many issues guys no one appreciates hiyoko enough, autistic gifted kid hiyoko my beloved.)

Akane Owari- Gambler (started gambling to help out her family and Got Good at it. is very very conscious of money and food like all the time. Runs the hope’s peak betting pools once she arrives. these ultimates bet on a lot of things. she ALWAYS wins. until she doesnt!!!)

Mikan Tsumiki- Martial Artist (ohhhh Mikan. Still anxious and clumsy (though not like THAT in canon) and literally no one looks at her and thinks Oh The ULTIMATE martial artist?? it isn’t until you see her in the ring that you understand. She started learning self defense as a kid because her (bad) parents essentially said she had to rely on and protect herself and no one else would help.)

Kazuichi Souda- Pop Idol (OH TRANS ICON? he’s nervous and paranoid about Everything still, though now it’s like. oh the entire world is always watching my every move this is Okay (: has the brightest neon album eras. he literally keeps up a like. weird chad persona when interacting with people because he’s masking how hard he’s constantly just internally screaming.)

Nagito Komaeda- Soldier (AHAHAH my mans got issues problems disorder he’s a messssss, this trans guy, this absolute gay. this boy leveled a city of thousands of people with his own hands and some bombs. Still has medical issues, but most of his like. treatments and medicine is hold hostage as long as he stays in line. believes the ends justify the means and anyone who dies to him is obviously weak, because look at him! he’s weak, but that doesn’t matter because he doesn’t have to be the strongest, he just has to be stronger than the weakest scum.)

Chiaki Nanami- Heir (OOF. Agender, uses any pronouns. Doesn’t really. enjoy being the heir. grew up with Byakuya in the same circles. she treats the economy and stock market and stuff like games. enjoys gaming but isn’t good at them. collects so many things. has halls full of collections. Her parents stopped controlling her once she was able to prove she had more money than them and could literally bankrupt them if she wanted.)

Hajime Hinata- Baseball Star (Chiaki’s best friend, his family was upper middle class until he hit it BIG as a baseball star. wants to do BIG things and wants to attend hope’s peak more than anything!! Doesn’t really think of baseball as his THING, just a means to an end! trans :)

Teruteru Hanamura- Biker Gang Leader (started with shaking down some jerks who didn’t pay their food and drink tabs at his mama’s restaurant. now he RUNS their tiny town. His siblings are essentially gang mascots, he works hard to keep them out of trouble (while bringing them to like. meetings where he ends up beating a dude almost to death. its fine). most of what he does it to get more money to keep the restaurant afloat and care for his mama with her health conditions.)

Nekomaru Nidai- Fashionista (the drama. the CHAOS. most people are like ohhh we can never understand this artistic genius when he’s literally just. vibing and has ADHD and a love for coffee. Works a lot on accessible clothing lines for disabled people! Also he and Kazuichi work together sometimes, Nekomaru is good at calming Kaz down and seeing like, the root of whatever problem and making it better. ALSO A TRANS ICON and just flaunts it.)

Imposter- In the hope’s peak days they are impersonating Ryota Mitarai, as a part of the 77th class. In the Killing Game they impersonate Mondo Oowada as the Ultimate Prince. They’re doin’ their best.

Ibuki Mioda- (???) (Izuru Kamakura) Protagonist! Gundham Tanaka’s older sister (though they’re in the same school year). Nonbinary and using just. an array of pronouns alongside she/her, and jokingly fights with gundham for neopronouns like MOM said it’s MY TURN on the rawrself pronouns. She attends the reserve course to stay at her brother’s side. She dresses loudly and acts even louder because !!! she wants to stand out!! in the middle of this drab reserve course hell!!  but when things go down, she wants to be someone, to be worthy of being her amazing brother’s big sister. so she accepts some offers.

NON-KILLING GAME:

Ryota Mitarai- Ultimate Analyst (stays in his room. He’s terrified of the outside world but fascinated by it. watches hope’s peak academy through security feeds, picking up on little details. he just wants to understand things but never looks at the big picture.)

Chisa Yukizome- Ultimate Boxer (Homeroom teacher!! She’s working really hard and believes in everyone! Some are intimidated by talent, but she’s never hurt anyone outside of the ring! Dating Kyosuke)

Juzo Sakakura- Ultimate Student Council President (Has anger issues, though his work at reigning them in assisted in becoming an Ultimate. Was responsible for security and the Hope’s Peak student council. Dating Kyosuke)

Kyosuke Munakata- Ultimate Housekeeper (Meticulous, works himself to the BONE even if he’s good enough to not have to do that. Is working on establishing another Hope’s Peak! Dating Chisa and Jozu!!!)

Seiko Kimura- Ultimate Blacksmith (GIVE MY GIRL KNIVES!! She’s an anxious gal, always wearing a facemask that filters the air in her forge because she has some respiratory problems. she prefers making more decorative pieces like an artist, but sometimes can create utilitarian pieces or tools to fit specific needs. Still a doormat)

Ruruka Ando- Ultimate Pharmacist (She constantly asks Seiko for new tools for her developments in medicine, saying its all for the advancement of humanity, so Seiko denying any request is SELFISH, though she never thinks to make anything for seiko’s health issues. Dating Izayoi. Specializes in medicine for mental health. Not Doing Great :)

Sonosuke Izayoi- Ultimate Confectioner (He loves sweets. LOVES them. Creates things that look plain, ordinary. but taste so GOOD you CRY and maybe ascend for a little bit. sometimes Ando makes cool new drugs to put in the sweets, who knows! It’s a mystery! He always has like. a huge refrigerated case of fresh cakes, and constantly has a lollipop in his own specialty recipe in his mouth.)
