#that friend group is so toxic

"Why do you care so much about accidentally leaving people out?" Because I've had friend groups where they were the planets and I was their Pluto.

I've had friend groups where our dynamics revolved around a Sun, with everyone vying for their attention if only to bask in their light for a mere moment. Where our thinly strung bonds collapsed the second our Sun left.

I've had friend groups where they bonded as Saturn's rings, finding solace in their shared shortcomings while isolating those more talented than them.

But I've also had friend groups where we bond as Neptune and Uranus—so similar we could be known as twins. Friend groups like Venus and Earth: so awfully different, yet it was those differences that kept us together.

And I would rather create a social system like the latter than the former.

Basketball bad boys, anyone?

Yeah, so these are my Kirisaki Daiichi redesigns. The uncrowned kings and their respective squads have all the fun potential and I intend to use it.

Kirisaki Daiichi and Hanamiya being the most slept on team for character design of them all because you can’t make a canonical “bad boy” team and not have them be emo, goth, and punk for the funsies. For the visual “pen egg chest qua” (je ne sais quoi). For the fun, stereotypical edgelord flair we all deserve to indulge in every now and then.

Makoto’s og design simply didn’t scream spider enough for me and I was tired of so many key characters having this longish, same shade of black hair (him, Himuro, Mibuchi, etc). Like, I know giving the black and brown a colored tint can subtract from the uniqueness of the GOM, but not even a little? So, yeah, fuck allat, I’m using desaturated colors every now and then.

I also loved drawing Makoto in some casual clothes and much needed drip. Villains are required to serve most. I wanted to draw the rest of them in some casual outfits because trust Kojiro and honestly all of them dress immaculately but life and time restraints. Maybe later.

Story wise, each player and Makoto maybe have their own reasons for turning to hurting others through basketball and I hope you catch some of the story threads I threw in. Whether or not they deserve or have the capacity to change is entirely up to you all with Makoto having the most potential to be entirely complex or cartoonishly evil (I like both). I’m a sucker for a bit of character complexity and things that leave room for interpretation.

Sometimes knb can be very black and white in its themes…

Well, let me know what you all think! Thank you, for everyone’s kind words and support. See ya!

How bad is it that every time Dan and Phil do something incredibly married (joint Instagram posts) I go wait this is such a good idea I should start doing this with my besties. Why was my aquarium post not a joint post??? What am I doing??

[solar-eclipsed]

I need to stop falling in love with pairings in shows I literally haven’t fucking watched

[bitchy-peachy]

I really wish that antis stopped using real life sa victims in their shit especially since they tell real life sa victims that we deserved our assaults cos we all handle our trauma differently.

i made so much rae/animatronic related art lately and i don't even bother posting it because it seems like the fandom on here is either dead or has me blocked for some reason [i literally don't even know why] like what's the point in posting if no ones even gonna see it

[surreal-duck]

also there was this smart gay girl who came to my school for a levels and became friends with the friend group I used to be in in year ten (comparatively way less toxic than another group I hung out with (I was a group hopper I was disloyal but really I didn't fit in anywhere so I'm the victim and I've never done anything wrong. never forget this) but still kind of shitty and just NOT conducive to being gay in that group at all that was not the vibe) and all I could think about was how we'd probably be so close if we got the chance to talk and also I needed to save her from that group. but anyway it never happened. maybe she absolutely loved those guys it's not my business. but let me sound like a cunt for a second. she was better than them. sorry. low-key if I just initiated a conversation with her it could've changed the trajectory of my life. or maybe it would have fizzled out in a week idk. anyway there's a little backstory drop that basically tells you nothing at all except that I was and am kind of a bitch. heart!

So a former solo Louie confided in their personal experience with how toxic the fandom space was and due to this they've distanced themselves from the solo space and decided to follow all the boys again. And with reading all that ,your response is to not take ANY accountability for how toxic you and your friends have been, ignore all very rational points such as the double standards around Louis’ Veeps show, the way Liam was treated for going to ATV and how Liam was made fun of when Louis supported teardrops…But instead frame that former solo Louie as someone who doesn't care about Louis or Liam…….the mental gymnastics is gold medal worthy I tell you. You don't get to pretend you valued Louis and Liams friendship now Liam is dead. This time last year, you and your friends insulted Liam because Louis supported Teardrops, called him a “loser” and that Louis should leave him alone….now one year later you're acting as if you were never so spiteful

What’s even funny is that I’ve gotten multiple messages talking about how that particular blog has spewed hate about Liam for years, but surprise surprise now he’s gone they want to judge how people who have cared for Liam since day one should react, keep Harries out of your mouth, you defending Liam one time means nothing when you were literally bullying a few months ago (Facts are more important than opinions….yeah it’s a known fact Louie’s we’re shitty to Liam, what’s stopping you from admitting that)

Thoughts on Grima in FEH? I personally am a big enjoyer of this horrible little guy getting picked up by the scruff and dragged kicking and screaming into therapy by the summoner.

OOF... UNFORTUNATELY... I have zero complex thoughts about Grima 😅 I do think it's interesting, from the many Grima and Robin interactions in FEH, that there's almost this self-fulfilling prophecy to it, like Grima believes no matter what they Have to be this way. That all roads lead to this, and there's no changing it. And in believing that, they make it their reality.

HOWEVER. I do get really stuck on just. How they talk. Top Ten Least Effective Insults: Worm.

They are like middle school bullies to me...... at least in FEH specifically where they will just harass Robin to no end LMFAOOO (and anyone else they have a bone to pick with)

I do think they can have a little therapy. As a treat :) (they could use it.)

I just think it would be funny if we called troy x britta/tritta or whatever they're called michael jackson² 😞

parent: why don’t you have friends

me: it’s okay I’m used to it

parent: the next time you go to Sunday school you should befriend the girls their

me: (flashbacks to toxic friend groups from church)

[cern1cal0]

we'll grow out of it, surely

OMG OMG I HAVE A NEW FRIEND!!!💛💛💛💛

[ciceroandlucien]

Me and my lovely tank friend who also DDs and Heals and pulls me through sweaty stuff because he believes I can do it and he's usually right. He loves me so much and I love him and this is a cheesy ESO love story, the end.
