I got a bunch of new followers (hello 💖) bc of Inktober, and I came across this tag game today (on @vacationgerry 's blog!) so I figured I'd answer these questions as a sort of introduction :))
1. Why did you choose your url?
My name is Danika and a 4 year old English girl once, 15+ years ago, called me Danicat. I loved that so much that it's been my username most places since. It used to be danicat91 bc it wasn't available without numbers, but I hated the numbers so I changed it to the German version Danikatze a few years ago. (it's daanikatze on twitter and ig)
2. Any side blogs?
@danifanatic where I rb stuff is the only active one. I have another where I collect art refs/advice and only to never look at it anymore. And another one where I posted original art but that one's dead too (I don't make enough original art and I prefer posting it here anyway)
3. How long have you been on tumblr?
Since 2012 I think
4. Do you have a queue tag?
for my sideblog yeah. It's "q"
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
.. bc I wanted to post nsfw stuff and I heard this is where I could do it hehe. I deleted most of it since then. I had a nsfw sideblog for a bit, but I deleted that too a few years ago bc it was dying anyway and then the porn ban happened and I got sick of it.
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
I love (and in some ways relate to) Shino and he's wearing one of my favourite hoodies in that one. Just really pleased with that drawing overall!
7. Why did you choose your header?
I thought it was cute and Wai just makes me happy :) (She's kinda my air bison oc? My best friend gave me an Appa plushie and it looked nothing like him, and so Wai was born ^^)
8. What’s your post with the most notes?
My dog dad Kakashi comic.. Almost 30k notes now
9. How many mutuals do you have?
Around 15 I think? I've talked to maybe 5 or 6 of them hahah
10. How many followers do you have?
A few thousand, but I accumulated them so slowly that I feel like half of them must've left tumblr by now hahah.
11. How many people do you follow?
78
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?
In hindsight I guess the dog dad Kakashi comic is pretty much a shitpost ^^;
13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?
Err about 15-30 min every morning and then compulsively checking the rest of the day
14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?
Once, wwwaay in the beginning.. I followed someone who kept bullying one of their friends. I told them said friend didn't seem to think it was funny at all, and they told me to mind my own business, after which I unfollowed them. I've learned to just unfollow people when their blog makes me anxious in whatever way (if I can't blacklist the stuff that makes me uncomfortable)
15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
I skip those very quickly, or maybe see if I can rb another version.
16. Do you like tag games?
Yes, but tagging other people is bad for my anxiety :P
17. Do you like ask games?
Yeah! It's been a while since I've done one
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?
idk?
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?
Oh for an aro person I crush so much.. Art crushes mostly, like a mutual will post something and I'll go 🥰 ohh 🥰 amazing 🥰 how skilled 🥰 how cute 🥰

>:3!! I am currently eating edible raw cookie dough hell yeah!!! Thank you
🍓- if you’re an introject, what is ur source?
We sorta have one introject :0! She was just a fragment who attached to the character tho, so she just looks like her!
📍- funny story that happened in source memories?
No source, so just a funny story ;p But we wanted to give Pockets an appearance, so we got him to look at pictures with us and he kept saying like; “I don’t look like that. They drew me too short. Why are they so bad at drawing me” etc. and we had to explain to him that they aren’t drawing HIM- we are looking for a picture he thinks he looks like
🍒 - funny story that happened in headspace?
Omg everything just sounds so funny to me until I type it out it jahsbsnishd,
Krow and Jace fight over which bong to imagine (it is ongoing…no resolution in sight…. RIP)
People going “awwhhh, I wish I was blonde/etc.…. WAIT *imagines themselves blonde/etc.*”
Feeling an “:3” with the force of a thousand bricks
Jace’s instinctual motherhood over Bug….. Bug being more stable than Jace
“FUCK YOU *attempts to go further into headspace*”…. *fails*
Everyone fights like toddlers, it’s comical and brotherly and loving..

(m….meatspace…. omg I can’t believe that’s a real word…. meatspace…)

I was wondering: can you draw the Spirit Society versions of Rukia and Byakuya meeting Renji (as either his shinigami self or him as a human samurai) and some ensuing shenanigans (and a little RenRuki)? I’d love to see what you’d have in mind!
Phew! So, when I got this ask (which was ages ago), my first reaction was “you have severely overestimated my artistic skill”, but I’m always encouraging my kids to stick with their art even when it’s bad, so I decided to, uh, give this a shot. I learned a lot doing this project, even if mostly what I learned was “I should have done this in a different way” and also “Spirit Society Byakuya has way, way too much swag.”
Anyway, every day I wake up and make the difficult choice not to play BBS (I am playing 2 different restaurant-based phone games right now and that’s bad enough), so the only thing I know about Spirit Society I learned from 2 fanfics and the blessed people like @metalporsiempre who post screenshots from the BBS story mode. Even the BBS wiki was not particularly helpful, at least as far as lore goes, so please forgive me if I have gotten any of this tragically wrong.
BTW, this story takes place in interminable Filler Arc Time, where continuity doesn’t matter and the points are made up.
SO! I love the idea of BBS, and I would want this AU to be as BBS as possible. (My dream is to someday mock up some BBS dialogue screens for shitposting purposes). Therefore, the basic premise of this is that Renji is bumming around with Ichigo in the World of the Living and they end up going to Spirit Society in the usual way, which is to say, walking through a park and then they’re in Spirit Society. None of this is important, except for the fact that Renji is wearing the orange Zabimaru shirt, because the casual outfits are the #1 greatest thing about BBS.
Anyhoo, they go to Kuchiki Manor: Spirit Society Edition, and Renji ends up explaining all of this to Rukia while Ichigo facepalms off-screen.
The next thing that happens is that Byakuya would want to fight Renji, because Byakuya fights Renji in like 75% of the Bleach OPs, Byakuya fighting Renji is obligatory. The thing is, though, that Renji has fought Regular Byakuya approximately 9000 times and studied him for 30 years and Spirit Society Byakuya just met Renji 5 minutes ago, and I’m not saying B got trounced, but my feathery man got trounced. Not that he’ll admit it.
Presumably there’s a very filler arc-y plot, where Grimmjow is planning to invade the tengu territory with a bunch of demons or something like that, and Renji and Ichigo agree to hang out and be helpers. I thought it would be fun if, at some point, they have to disguise themselves as tengu warriors, because I... wanted to design some armor? What the EVEN, Polynya? They should probably be wearing masks, but drawing Byakuya’s mask was a nightmare, and by the time I finished drawing feathers on literally everything, I forgot about the masks anyway.
@kaicko pointed out to me too late that Orihime should have been in this AU and she was right, Orihime definitely would have fixed Ichigo’s horns for him. If this post makes it to 50 notes, I promise I will draw Orihime in tengu armor.
There will be a B part to this post tomorrow, which is a fanfic drabble that I wrote. I finished it, but you gotta let fanfic rest, like a good steak, or all the juices fall out you don’t catch all the typos because you’re so tired of looking at it.
#my fanart#wacky au ideas#spirit society#i dedicate their gold shin guards to the 2003 UDel men's hockey team#who wore yellow socks so they looked like chickens#YEEHAW FIGHTING BLUE HENS!#i also gave rukia a nezuko manicure bc i've been watching demon slayer#it's a good look!#i maxed out my procreate layers so many times on all of these#polynya did renji's hair magically grow longer in spirit society so he could braid it? something seems off#RENJI'S HAIR IS NOT BOUND BY THE LAWS OF TIME OR SPACE#this is a CANON FACT

Tagged by @roguelioness and @a-shakespearean-in-paris thanks friends!
1: Why did you choose your url?
Because I’m Danish, so I tend to pick some variation of ‘viking’ as username, and I’m a woman and vikingwoman was taken ;P. I AM wondering if I should re-pick some days, sadly viking imagery sometimes get co-opted by white supremacists and they can get the fuck out of my blog, my culture, and the world.
2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.
I have a couple. I created an ME sideblog that I given up on using, too complicated I try to tag any non-DA content I post here instead. I have a blog for explicit images, from when tumblr allowed them. It still have some items on it that has not yet been moderated. I have a blog I posted a few nature pictures on. And ofc I’m an admin at @dadrunkwriting, but it’s hardly my blog. Plently of opportunity for messing up when posting.
3: How long have you been on tumblr?
Since aug 2016
4: Do you have a queue tag?
I use #scheduled post
5: Why did you start your blog in the first place?
When I finished Trespasser I was in distress, I was shaken in a way I had no business being. (Thanks Solas). I was looking to find fics and used to previous fandoms on livejournal and so forth. I was looking where things were at, and it seemed to be here. Ao3 is nice, but I was looking for fic recs and events such as big bangs and awards (not that DA fandom does awards, so sad)
6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
My idon is me, drawn by @destinyapostasy. Hair is wrong color though ( I have 4 versions and none of them is the right hair color lol, it’s become a darkish blonde boring color)
7: Why did you choose your header?
My header is Solas, drawn by @destinyapostasy, it’s just a great drawing of him looking sad. That’s all this blog still is - sad Solas.
8: What’s your post with the most notes?
Apparently it is a post about some investigation of tumblr character limitation in posts ? I have a couple of posts that got a lot of notes, and I had to notification block them.
9: How many mutuals do you have?
I don’t know? and while I love my mutuals dearly, I don’t want to put too much stock in it. I understand people might not follow me for various reasons, but we can still be friends!
10: How many followers do you have?
Uh a bunch? It’s weird how the longer you have the blog sometimes you get these bursts of random follows? (not spam blogs either). anyway hi people, I am happy you’re here!! Please do know though that I don’t really keep track of my followers and if you don’t want to follow I’m not going to wonder about it. You do you!
11: How many people do you follow?
262 which is too many. I have a goal of 200. Some of these are very low activity blogs though.
12: Have you ever made a shitpost?
Probably
13: How often do you use tumblr each day?
I usually check quite often, but not always? It’s a habit.
14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?
Somewhat? I counterargued some head canon that annoyed me, and the OP (and at one time very popular solavellan writer) argued back, missing my point entirely. It was shortlived though :P. I don’t think someone can be declared a winner hahaha.
Have I felt like starting a fight? yes
15: How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
I don’t reblog and if people post to many of those I unfollow. Nothing bugs me more than guilting into behavior, esp with a sprinkle of performative allyship.
16: Do you like tag games?
Yes please tag me!!! I might take a bit to reply but I do try to get around to it!
17: Do you like ask games?
Yes! both for me and my OCs. I try to send asks when I see people posting them too, though sometimes I miss it.
I also miss TMI tuesday when people would really TMI, but I guess the fandom group I hung out with is less active + we already covered the TMIs lmao. I
18.Do you have a crush on a mutual?
I have mutuals who I deeply love and respect, does that count?
tagging: @galadrieljones @destinyapostasy @ma-sulevin @wrenbee @luzial @ladylike-foxes @salexectria @allaganexarch @buttsonthebeach @scharoux @idrelle if you want!

How was the sequel to Tales from The Hood, a shitshow?
The original Tales from the Hood, while having some campy horror elements, still managed to present its stories and tone competently while still incorporating themes of struggles of black Americans in urban areas.
Examples:
A black politician who’s been trying to fight against police corruption gets beaten to death and injected with drugs post-mortem by said corrupt cops to slander his name. The politician returns from the dead to exact vengeance. Obviously this short tackles police brutality and corruption.
A little boy and his mother who are constantly beaten and abused by what he draws and identifies as a ‘monster’ who, it turns out, is the mother’s new boyfriend. The theme here is Domestic Violence and how often people try to brush it under the rug as just a way of life in the community.
A former klansman-turned senator buys a building called ‘The Dollhouse’ that is of high historical significance to the local black community, despite their wishes and complaints, to serve as the headquarters for his racist campaign to become governor. The house in of itself was where a confederate-supporter, after the loss of the Civil War, decided to murder all of his slaves rather than see them freed. Their restless souls haunted the place until a ‘voodoo woman’ managed to calm their souls and place them into dolls. You can pretty much guess where this is going and the themes.
The final entry centers around a gang-member who, after getting hunted and shot down by rival gang-members, is taken into police custody and is given one last chance for freedom by a doctor’s new, radical behavioral therapy program. Said therapy takes a note right out of A Clockwork Orange and bombards our main character with alternating images of brutal gang-violence and KKK lynchings. After which, he is berated with apparitions of all the people he’s shot and killed; including a little girl who was a victim during one of his drive-by shootings. Of course, this kind of therapy will only be successful if the subject shows some remorse...
And all of this is wrapped in a framing device of three gang-members trying to find some drugs at a funeral-home, even harassing the funeral-director, which turns out to be a portal into hell.
... *deep breath*
I have to do a ‘Read More’ because this post got long. But I implore you guys to read on to see the abyss of insanity and bad directions that were taken in regards to the sequel of this movie. Please.
The sequel decided to throw ALL NUANCE AND TACT out of the window and give us such wonderful stories as:
A white girl and a black girl are on a road-trip and decide to go to the... ugh... Museum of Negrosity where the owner chastises them on thinking that the uncomfortable racist memorabilia he owns (collections of minstrel show cartoons, golliwog and pickaninny dolls) are things of the past instead of acknowledging them as parts of America’s racist past. And, for some reason, the white girl is obsessed with buying one of the golliwog dolls because she had one when she was little. Anyway, they sneak back in later with the white girl’s brother who happens to be the black girl’s boyfriend, so they can steal one of the dolls. Through hijinks, the doll comes to life and grows to the size of a human being. The brother/boyfriend gets whipped to death, the black girl gets cut in half by a minstrel-colored guillotine, and the white girl... Fucks the giant golliwog doll, gets pregnant, and a few days later, has her stomach torn open as a bunch of baby versions of the doll go flying out everywhere.
Some gang-members track down a former pimp who’s changed his ways to try and shake him down for some owed money. He doesn’t comply, so they kill him but, golly-gee! How are they going to get the money now~? Oh, I know! Hold a scam medium hostage so he can perform a seance to talk to the pimp to find out about the money. But, oh no~ It looks like the medium’s powers decide to actually work this time~ Ooh~
Two douchebags hookup with two hot chicks and, after the world’s worst game of Cards Against Humanity, they decide to roofie the girls so they can record themselves raping them so they can post it to ‘le dark web’. ... Lo’ and behold, the girls turn out to be vampires who were playing 4D chess to rope the two douchebags in so they can use them for their own recording-something-brutal-to-post-online scheme.
And... The LAST one. Oh my God, the LAST ONE. *deep breath* Okay.
So we follow a black republican councilman who is married to a white woman and they’re expecting a baby after a long line of miscarriages. But the wife is having weird bouts of bad dreams and insomnia. What are the bad dreams about?
... I need you guys to understand. That I am not shitposting when I type the following words. *deep breath* Okay.
The wife is being haunted by the ghost of Emmett Till telling her that she doesn’t deserve to have her baby. You know? Emmett Till? The victim of one of the most brutal, horrific murders in America due to one of the most disgusting, vile acts of racism? THAT EMMETT TILL?!
So..! The black councilman is working for a white politician who... I’m just going to put a direct quote from the movie so you can get where they were coming from.
“That man wants to close down ten more voting locations, all of them in black districts!”
Anyway, after a house-call from a doctor who brushes off the dreams as hormones, the councilman hosts a party for the politician who’s running slogan is ‘Let’s take Mississippi back!’ Gee-golly-willickers! Can’t imagine where they were coming from with that one!!
So the party goes on, the politician even congratulating our councilman on his ‘white wife’, but said wife rushes downstairs after having another dream; ranting about ‘that boy from the field has decided to LIVE! And if he lives, our baby’s going to die!’ And she runs outside with a machete to try and kill the ghost of Emmett Till (who, again, very real person and victim of racist brutality).
So the councilman’s mother and the local voodoo expert drive up and the voodoo expert tells the councilman that Emmett Till is trying to talk to him about the nature of sacrifice. The next day, the wife is talking about how her stomach is getting smaller, but the councilman doesn’t want to hear any of it and calls the doctor again. And, guys..?! If shit hadn’t jumped the rails before?! The train just starts doing cartwheels from here.
The doctor is suspiciously short-tempered with the politician this time around and he does examine the wife to confirm that her stomach is indeed shrinking. However, when he’s told that the councilman is the father, he storms out and snaps “I don’t work for coloreds!”
Then the wife runs out of bed and tells the doctor that the councilman isn’t her husband and that he kidnapped and raped her. So both the wife and the doctor drive off and the councilman realizes that the world has somehow gone back to the era of Jim Crow.
... Oooh my gosh, typing this is making me want to commit toaster-bath but it gets so much worse..!
So, after the voodoo expert comes to chastise the councilman about not ‘respecting the sacrifices that have been gifted to you’, he is able to see the ghost of Emmett Till (who was a real person, why is this happening..?!) who is there to tell him that he’s decided that he wants to live. Which means that the world will never see the brutal images of his body at his funeral and that will cause a Butterfly Effect in history that will make it so that the Civil Rights Movement never happened.
You may be questioning the logistics of this, but don’t worry! The ghosts of the girls killed in the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing in Birmingham come to explain and further berate the councilman about ‘respecting the sacrifices that have been gifted to him’ and working for a racist politician.
But wait! There’s more! *whines* I keep crying out to God but he won’t answer...
They’re soon joined by the ghosts of the three Freedom Riders who were killed during the Mississippi Burning Murders, the ghost of Civil Rights Activist Medgar Evers, and DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
Not to mention several other unnamed figures who walk up while everyone else starts chanting about ‘respecting the sacrifices that have been gifted to you’, who look like Rosa Parks and Frederick Douglass, just to name a few.
... I need a drink. I need a cold, stiff drink. ... Almost done.
So, in comes the Klan. You know, the white-robed bastards; I hear they have an outreach center a few cities away from me. Sure, fine, whatever. The wife is leading them along with the white politician who hits the councilman’s mother in the face with a baton and Emmett Till stops time just as reinforcements show up to tell the councilman that, in order for everything to go back to normal, he has to join the ranks of those who sacrificed.
“If what you want is worth us dying for, how come its not worth you dying for?!”
And, at first, the councilman disagrees; even being dragged away by Klansmen. However! It’s his wife angrily spitting in his face that makes him realize that this world isn’t the world he wants to live in. So he runs over to Emmett Till to tell him that he will join him... And then he’s beaten to death, becoming a sacrifice to get the world back to normal. And, once it is, his spirit joins Emmett Till’s and walks off into the great beyond.
So! Not only did this schlocky, B-movie horror movie sequel decide to use a REAL LIFE VICTIM of racism-driven brutality as a story-device, but it also wants to put forth the message that the people who lost their lives during the Civil Rights Movement? Yeah, they HAD to die! Otherwise the Civil Rights Movement would never have happened~!
You see why I hate the sequel to Tales from the Hood so much? Not even mentioning the terrible framing segments of a racial-profiling robot being told these stories so it knows what ‘criminals’ to go after, but this movie is just a temple of ‘WHY?! WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!?!?!’

Get To Know Me Tag Game
Thank you for the tag @midnight-reader-morning-sleeper ❤️❤️
Why did you choose your URL? I just think cryptids are neat (even if I don’t really believe in them) and my cousin jokes about me being a cryptid, so I guess that’s what inspired it. I’m also nerdy. I thought about yourlocalforestcryptid but it felt too wordy and nerdycryptid just had a better ring to it. My old URL was theravenclawpotato, but I changed it bc it made it seem like I’m a Harry Potter blog
Any side blogs? I have @casperthefriendlysnake , which is my reptiblr blog that’s been slightly neglected recently, and @nerdycryptidart which is an art blog that has been neglected for a while
How long have you been on tumblr? About 3 years I think? I’ve had this account for about 2 years and I had another account before this for about a year.
Do you have a queue tag? Nope I don’t queue things I just spam my followers with my latest obsession and then disappear for 3 days straight
Why did you start your blog in the first place? For my first account: I just wanted to look at some fandom stuff more conveniently and didn’t plan on actually posting but I kinda got sucked in. For this account: My old blog was full of fandoms that I had mostly grown out of and stuff I didn’t really like anymore so I just wanted a fresh start. For the art sideblog: I don’t post art much and wanted people to be able to see it without having to sift through all the stuff on my main. For the reptiblr sideblog: I reblog a lot of reptiblr stuff to the point I felt it called for a second blog lol
Why did you choose your icon/pfp? It’s an Inktober drawing a did a couple years ago that I liked, and thought would make a nice pfp. And I just like Gravity Falls
Why did you choose your header? It’s a redraw of an Inktober I did once that I thought would be a good size for a header. I also think it suits me and my blog
What’s your post with the most notes? At least half the reblogs on this are from the hell-propaganda addition but I still keep it because some folks still appreciate my original bad joke (linked at the bottom because tumblr mobile exists to spite me)
How many followers do you have? 254
How many people do you follow? 176. I need more lol
Have you made a shit post? Almost every post I’ve ever made falls somewhere on the shitpost spectrum
How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts? Not really a fan. It feels guilttrippy. I think it’s very cool that people use this platform for good but I think we should also respect that some people get on here just for fun and to escape real life and shouldn’t be pressured into reblogging something. It’s also not cool to judge someone’s morals based on whether or not they reblog something
Do you like tag games? I love them, they’re a lot of fun! Though I often forget to do them 😅 Also I usually just put “tagging anyone who wants to play” because a lot of my mutuals are mutuals with my other mutuals and have probably already been tagged in it lol. I also like to hop in on “tagging anyone who wants to play” ones sometimes myself so yeah
Do you like ask games? Yes, they’re fun!
Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? I don’t think I have any that are really famous but I do have some that have been on here forever and have like so many mutuals and it’s just like How
Do you have a crush on a mutual? I don’t have a crush period tbh
Tagging anyone who would like to play!

really frightened that i am lacking something essential and will never be able to be a skilled or creative artist no matter how hard i try. equally frightened that i have sabotaged my own progress in various ways and have wasted years backsliding and will never “get back” any skill i did previously exhibit. do you have any suggestions for how to continue to produce art and improve even when constantly suffocated by fear
anon this is a common but unfortunate occurrencei feel this a lot too this is a very long reply because i think about this kinda stuff often, so there’s a readmore
i’ve got some advice for you, though i’m sure you’ve probably already heard some if not all of this before, so i don’t mean to talk to you like this is new magic info, but just reiterating stuff that i try to keep in mind that might work for you tooalso i want to point out that i’m not a professional remotely, so the things i’m stating are completely from my own personal experiences ….. and also i struggle with perfectionism and other things so while i give this advice i also still have trouble with the problems noted and also i use a lot of examples and comparisons when i talk because its easier for me to understand things that way
anyway:
1- you are the person who sees your art the mostthis is a very obvious thing, to state but it ties directly into a lot of what you’ve statedyou feel you lack something essential, you feel you’ve backslid and lost previous skills, and youre afraidbut think about the other art you seeyou ONLY see the end result of what everyone posts… or even if people do post in-progress pictures or speedpaints, you’re not really seeing the “scope” of it with in-progress pictures, you don’t know how much changed or how much was erased how much time was spent how much etc with speedpaints, you see all the progress but its sped up and it’s easy to feel like all of that was done faster than it really was even if youre aware its sped up
and even if you watched a realtime video of someone drawing… theres thousands of hours outside of that video of this person doodling, and even THINKING about their art that you havent seen it makes other peoples art feel a lot more.. confident? secure?
for your own art however, you are fully aware of the struggle of every line because you’re the one doing it and thinking about itit might make you feel like you’re trying so hard when everyone else has just Got it
2- experiencing art as a consumer vs a creator is a different feelingthis is directly tied to the previous idea but it’s easy to feel like you lack something essential when, instead of consuming the art, you are the one producing it
here’s an example: i love horror contentnot all of it of course, but i love horror that really makes me think and makes me see a characters motivations and really digs in deep psychologically and sticks with you even after you’re done experiencing the media
however it is very very hard for me to make anything that is strictly horror. for a long time i thought i was just bad at it, but i realized later that i’m not missing something that helps to write/draw horror … i just experience horror different based on if i’m consuming it vs making it part of the horror appeal to me is the MYSTERYif i am writing/drawing horror, there is NO mystery! i know everything there is to know about the situation i am making! i know all the character’s motivations, i know everything there is to know about every tiny detail and even if i am writing something where i don’t know what happens so it’s a purposeful mystery (such as in this comic where i don’t know what happens if you take off the tinier beak) it sometimes feels less Cool Mystery for me and more like “oh no i don’t know this thing, oh god, i’m a bad writer”i’ve gotten over that little by little, but it’s still hard to shake that i’m “missing” something with work that ISN’T mine its easy to put meaning that may not have been totally intended and THINK that the person meant it, and thus feel like that thing is more thought-out than it actually is
you might be experiencing something similar with art… where it feels like when you see OTHER art, you feel happy or like theres a meaning there etc but with your own art, you can’t capture that same feeling… it could literally be because you know what youre going for and what youre doing because youre the one doing it
3a- old art feels better sometimes because it is more removed from youyou know better than i do in this regard if this is true to you, because sometimes people can genuinely get rusty and lose but for the most part older art tends to feel better due to the fact it is becoming more and more removed from your current state and mindsetold art starts to slowly get treated the way you read Other people’s art because you’re not staring at it constantly and you start to forget the process and effort behind the old art
sometimes you can’t see well if your new art is “better” or not because it is too current on your mind and you know how hard it is to make and if it does or doesnt match what you were going for or etc etcmeanwhile your old art starts to be viewed more objectively because you dont remember every difficult line with it, and you can see it as a bit better because you’re not bogged by the negativity
3b- even if you fell off, you can regain the skill
even if you DID get worse over time… you did it once before and you can do it againyou can learn from your old works, but also try to learn from your old mentality a lot of my old stuff was more expressive and emotivei could learn to do that again mechanically, imitating my old stuff, but a big part of why my art was that way was because my mentality was different back then i was louder, more open, etc etcthink about what’s changed within you to see reasons for things changed in your art
4a- fear only works if you’re afraid of being badit is important to be able to see ways you can improve… but it’s also important not to fear that you have areas that CAN improveif you view “making something bad” as a punishment/negative outcome your fear directs itself through all your art
the easiest point fear can attack is starting to draw at allbefore you start drawing its very easy for your mind to go “why do this? why try if it’s just going to be stressful” and all through out the process that ramps up like “see it’s just stressful why do it”
your fear seemingly offers you something to gain if you don’t even try: avoiding the pain of art altogether
but what if you were unphased by that pain? if you don’t care about making something bad, that fear can’t manifest
some artists start their day by drawing the shittiest thing they can to shake off rust and have fun doing it … drawing a cartoon character from memory, drawing and overly rendered shitpost etc now i’m not saying not to care about your quality and take a ton of shortcuts and blablait’s still good to want to learn and improve it’s just that you have to start rearranging your perspective on your steps to achieve that
4b- no-stakes neutral is no problemhow do you get rid of that fear? how do you stop feeling being bad is.. bad?
try to view arts range as neutral to positive (as opposed to negative to postive) because at it’s base that’s exactly what art is what i mean by that is…let’s say you’re trying to draw a cat (and it’s not a commission or anything). your first attempt does not look anything like a cat this is not a “bad” thing though it may feel that way your failed attempt at a cat has not stabbed you or taken money or food from you or in any way truly inconvenienced you
the base idea is that you drew something and it wasn’t what you wanted this is completely neutral.. it’s like going to look for a new shirt. if you see shirts you don’t care for, you move past them until you get to the shirt you want.your “bad art” is just that. a bunch of shirts you don’t want til you find the one you’re looking for… you don’t have to pay anything for those “bad” attemptssure they take a bit of time and if you don’t have a lot of energy you might feel bad to use it on a drawing that you don’t enjoy and it can be frustrating if you keep trying to no avail, but all in all it’s not a stark negative
art isn’t a straight pathit’s winding, it’s really confusing , and it can be tiringbut if you go down a path that’s a dead end, you just try another pathdon’t fear reaching dead ends, there are always more paths
chuck jones (an iconic animator) said he had to draw multiple drafts to get expressions just right failure is in the eye of the beholder… he felt the first drafts for those expressions did not fit what he wanted, but he didn’t fear failure because of that even if the art was not by his standards, he continued until he got the one he felt was appropriate
it takes patience to get to where you wantif you stay patient you will eventually arrive there
5- drawing and thinking go hand in handart is a blend of being able to draw and being able to problem solve through what you already knowwhen i get stressed with art it’s usually because i don’t know what the hell i’m doing with no way to check myself if i’m close to what i want or not with me it tends to happen with backgrounds or animalsthis is why ppl typically suggest learning to draw cubes, cylinders and spheres from any angle because then you can transfer that base knowledge into other objectslike, cubes can be used to draw rooms, boxes, screens, fences, etccylinders can be pipes, water bottles, arms and legs, etc
transfering base knowledge is essential in art and understanding that you can do that, even if only as a base, helps a lotwith learning how to draw a mouse, you have a starting point for learning how to draw a rat (comparing the headshapes, sizes, ears, etc)… then you can use these two as a base point for drawing a squirrel, then a rabbit etc
another example could be maybe you know how to draw claws but not fangs… you can interchange the shape of a curved claw for a curved fang easily
starting with something you know and figuring out how to transfer the knowledge is very important and can help lessen that stress because instead of not even knowing where to start, you can problem solve to figure out what you already know under different termsits just all about knowing what connections you can try and learn, and working “smart”
on that vein… 6- perfecting things doesn’t make perfectit’s very tempting to make every tiny detail as good as you possibly can… but it’s very daunting and time consumingyou should try to work “smart” here too and now what i mean by that is … say i’m making a comic. i can make the comic to the absolute best of my current ability and take forever and become extremely drained Or… i could decide to try but still set a deadline for myself, and not worry TOO much about the smaller details why is the second one better? because i will get it done. if i try very very hard my ABSOLUTE best on a comic, making sure every single line is perfect, in a few months that comic will still be outdated. it will still get old and the amount i learned from it is limitedif i give myself some leeway (still trying of course, still learning and challenging myself) and set a deadline, i learn to be disciplined in my comics, i get a comic finished, AND i learn more because i am finishing more work in general
this is a really helpful video that explains this point more in depth
this isn’t to say you need to take the easiest routes for art that are availableit’s more like… back to the comic example, let’s say it’s like making a cake i can be a huge perfectionist about my cake, carving everything exact and putting every drop of frosting as exact as i can… but i’m still not a “master” at this i’m still learning the next time i make a cake i’m going to have to do the same situation … take forever to try to make the perfect cake
if i make a cake and still try, but accept when i don’t know how to get the exact result, my first cake is going to be a bit of a mess, but the next cake i make, i’ll be a little closer and in the time it takes Perfectionist Me to make 2 cakes, i might have already made 10 and i’ve sped up the process now and improved because i’ve learned a lot with those 10 cakes
there’s probably more that can be said about art, but i’m hesitant to try to dictate too much about how you experience your art and go about it i hope that this can help you at least a bit though

HOW I RUN MY BLOG.
SPEED: I used to be soooo crazy fast at replies, but these days I’ve been a wee bit slower---probably because of how much work drains me. However, I get days where I just CHURN everything out and get a whole bunch of replies done because the muse just---KABLOOEY. So honestly? We’re talking about anything from a few hours to... a few weeks. Or............ longer. Sorry about that. :/
REPLIES: It really depends on what’s going on in the thread---I can go from one-liners to novella, but typically I do a couple paragraphs, to give my partner stuff to work with. I also try to match length, unless there’s not much for me to do... orrr I go completely overboard. Kimbley is always weirdly introspective---got a lot goin’ on in that nasty noodle. But more than anything I always do my best to make sure it’s of the best quality as possible! (Yes, I even worry over the quality of my shitposts. XD)
STARTERS: Sometimes I do an open starter call---it’s usually for mutuals, but sometimes it’s a free-for-all. I’ve posted a couple in-general opens in the past, but I usually prefer doing some plotting before jumping right into anything.
INBOX: Anyone can climb into the ol’ inbox! It takes me a while to get to things, especially drawing memes (I have a couple prompts I’ve hoarded back from........ over a year ago hahaaaaa), but unless I absolutely can’t think of anything, I let it sit for a while until I can conjure up something.
SELECTIVITY: To be honest, I’ve considered becoming mutuals-only, but I really don’t want to do that. So for now I’m open to most interactions, though I do tend to be pretty picky---not because I don’t like you, it’s just how well I think our characters will interact. Also, I prefer to interact with people from fandoms I’m familiar with, but I’m willing to go outside the boundaries if I think we can come up with something. Plus I love love love OCs, but I’d like some info about them ahead of time to see if we can plot something. Overall though?? If we can generate some cool ideas, I’m always game! :D
WISHLIST: Haha oooh boy let’s see... - Someone falling in love with Kimbley and him destroying their lives - On the flippity-flip, someone beating the shit outta Kimbley. I mean he miiight enjoy it possibly, but I’m interested to see Kimbley dealing with not being in complete control in a fight, given........ he really has no fear of death??? :/ - MANIC. KIMBLEY. - More gore.
HONEST NOTE: I’m still baffled people like my Kimbley?? Like the fandom always hates on 03 Kimbley and yet y’all have been so supportive. <3 And a reminder that although he is a Nasty Psychopathic Murder Boi, I am but a humble potato tending to my rp farm.
TAGGED BY: @avarixing
TAGGING: everyone and all y’alls~

It wouldn't be far-fetched to assume that half the fandom legit characterizes Keith as this angry ball of edge. It's understandable in the sense that it's easier to simplify characters as exaggerated versions of themselves, but done too often and seriously, it doesn't do justice to the character, their relationships, or the narrative.
I really don’t want to cause more Discourse™ or upset anyone, particularly since I’m going to be speaking in generalities here rather than remarking upon the posts or actions of any one individual, so I’m going to put this under a cut.
(And on that note, please don’t reblog this. Likes and replies are fine, but I’d rather not have this spread around after the drama that happened tonight. Thanks.)
I would say it’s more than half the fandom at this point. Fanon!Keith very often appears in shipping fanworks (particularly for a certain juggernaut ship I won’t name), and since romantic shipping is such a massive part of the Voltron fandom, the most popular characterizations are going to be those that people feel are most conducive to making their ships work. Note that I’m not dragging romantic ships at all—you know me, you know I have a romantic ship in another fandom that means the world to me—but I’m just saying that this is a trend I’ve noticed across fandoms, and particularly in this one. Romance rules all, and since people are so heavily focused on the romance, sometimes that means less focus on the characters and so characterization gets pushed to the side as a result. Combine that with the fact that popular characterizations are essentially memes (and I mean that in the sense of the actual, psychological definition of a meme, which is an idea or practice that spreads rapidly through communities with almost no explanation of how it does), and what results is that incorrect characterizations become popularized to the point where people readily believe that these characterizations are the ones that are accurate.
This is what happened with Keith. As a disclaimer, I watched the show for the first time after season two had already been posted on Netflix, and it was pretty much a whim on my part because Netflix was advertising it, and I needed something new to watch so I said “why not.” So I wasn’t in the fandom between seasons, and I only know what I know of fandom between those seasons based on what I’ve heard. So with that said, from what I’ve heard people pretty much extrapolated on Keith’s character and filled in a bunch of nonsense (what we now know as Fanon Keith) between the two seasons. This is because Keith didn’t have a lot of plot focus in the first season; there is still a lot to his character in the first season, and I’ll gladly discuss this with anyone who wants to argue otherwise, but his character was far more subtle and quiet than the other characters due to the lack of plot focus. What there was to Keith’s character was something you had to specifically watch out for (and specifically watch him for). Unfortunately, the vast majority of the fandom was most often watching another character (that I could name but won’t), and so they missed characterization points on Keith. Because they wanted to ship Keith with other characters (because of how pretty he is), and because they missed the characterizatin points he had in season one due to the lack of plot focus, and because of everything mentioned above with how mischaracterizations often behave like memes, things spread and people got super, super invested in Fanon Keith.
Then season two dropped, and Keith suddenly got plot focus. Whereas before his reactions to things were often in the background (there, but you had to be paying attention), now we had a lot more camera focus on him. This resulted in people realizing that Fanon Keith is not Canon Keith, but rather than accept that and adjust accordingly, they instead dug their claws even harder into Fanon Keith and spat upon Canon Keith, going so far as to outright bash the show / writers in their contempt (at least as far as some more passionate fans went). This has not waned with season three, wherein Keith continues to be fleshed out as his own character, rather than a blank slate that can be shipped with whoever, and people continue to lash back against that.
With all of that said, I realize that my saying this probably sounds like I’m being super harsh and critical, but that’s not my intention. I’m just being honest and calling it how I see it. And how I see it is, yeah, a lot of these posts are jokes. Posts about how Shiro would flip out on Keith upon learning that Keith was expelled from the Garrison (even though Keith already told Shiro that himself in 1x01 and Shiro didn’t care), or posts about how Keith is obsessed with knives and would attack someone at the slightest provocation, or posts about how Keith doesn’t know basic hygiene … a lot of these posts are jokes, not meant to be taken seriously. They’re shitposts. But as I said before, popular characterizations behave like memes. I’m not talking about the “haha funny” memes, I’m talking about (as I mentioned) the actual definition of a meme, which is an idea, belief, symbol, practice, et cetera that spreads rapidly from person to person without explanation. You know that weird S that we were all obsessed with drawing in elementary school? The S seen ‘round the world? This one?
That’s a meme. Somehow, despite none of us knowing what it meant, despite some of us living in different countries, on different continents, we were all obsessed with drawing it at around the same age. Who knows how or why it spread, but it did. Memes don’t have to be humorous; they’re just ideas or beliefs that spread rapidly from person to person and are accepted into cultural consciousness. Popular characterizations are like that, and joke posts—however silly and harmless the intention behind them is—help cement that further. People see the joke post and they laugh not because they think it’s OoC, but because they think it’s accurate. Even on that post I reblogged earlier that started all the drama, if you look at the tags, it’s filled with “where is the lie” and “too accurate” and the like. Yes, it’s just a silly joke post, of course it is. But it’s yet another example of how Fanon Keith is so readily accepted and believed in the fandom at large, far more than Canon Keith is. And while I was not upset when I reblogged and added commentary to the post (I reiterate that I was perfectly calm), I did want to counter that a little bit, because sometimes when you see five hundred posts of your favorite character being mischaracterized, you just want to add a little feedback on post 501. Not to start anything, or because you’re pissed, but just because … just because you feel like it’s maybe worth pointing out.
But all of that said, yes, it does do a heavy disservice to Keith’s character, and he deserves better. Canon Keith is so much more than Fanon Keith, and so different from Fanon Keith, and I wish more people appreciated Canon Keith. There are people in this fandom who do, and I love them and the content they create, but sometimes it feels like they’re few and far between. There’s nothing that can really be done about it, but yeah.

Hello. I was wondering if you are okay with people tagging you in fics they write. I don't want to force you to read it but I consider you a friend and would love your input. I look up to you as a writer. Thanks!
YES!!! Absolutely feel free to tag me in whatever you see fit (except anything involving, you know, illegal, racist and/or discriminatory stuff. I think that covers a broad enough spectrum to not need further detail. That’ll earn you a kick in the teeth)
There’s two main problems I encounter on a daily basis however: one, sometimes Tumblr is all like “HEY BISH. YOU GOT TAGGED IN SOME NEAT ASS STUFF BUT LEL, I AIN’T GON’ TELL YEWWwwWWWw,” and then I never see it. And two, my notifications stream is…hoh boy. I can’t keep up sometimes and it frightens me, cause I know there’s art/writing/quality shitposting/questions/FYI’s and everything else that I may miss in the flow of notifications. AND FOR ALL THE STUFF I HAVE MISSED IN THE PAST, I AM SO, SO SORRY! :cSometimes I’ll be knee-deep in older posts and I’ll see I’m tagged in it, and my reaction is basically this:
like WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? WUT?! HAVE I AWAKEN IN A TIMEFLUX OF A DIFFERENT ERA ALTOGETHER WHERE I MISSED YEARS OF CONTENT? DAFUQ?
…
…
*sighs*
Okay. Time for some IRL angst, yo. *grumbles, I promised I’d never share this because it’s offering the person who submitted it a gratification and DAMMIT I AIN’T HAVIN’ IT*
Around the time I published Focus, which most of you know was my first really NSFW, full-fledged writing on Tumblr, I decided to tag a few blogs that I’d been following/lurking/liking content from.
Almost IMMEDIATELY after I posted it, I got this Anon:
And you know what I did? Scurried back and deleted all the tags before the story really began to circulate. Probably the worst way to deal with an ANONYMOUS MESSAGE FROM LITERALLY ANYONE ON THIS SITE. I could have addressed it, could have responded with a remark, could have nipped it in the bud right away.
But I didn’t. I screenshotted it, deleted the message after it sat around in my inbox for far too long, and felt…Really, really horrible about it.
Because that’s just what some people want, isn’t it? To affect you, deep down.
But, I didn’t give up. I tagged even more people, and you know what the best thing was to come of it, something that made the amount of notes my posts got seem trivial?
YOU GUYS. MY FRIENDS. MY MUTUALS. MY FOLLOWERS.
You all seriously make my day brighter and better. So, from the bottom of my widdle heart, THANK YOU.
But even to this day, with the multitude of friends I’ve made since joining Tumblr, I get a little pang of nervousness. What if they don’t like it? What if they get annoyed with me tagging them? What if I tag them in something that literally bothers them? I’m human and insecure AF. Sometimes I get the better of it, sometimes I don’t want to leave my bed. VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.
H’OKAY JAYSUS, I’ve talked way too long for a simple question. The bottom line is:
ABSOLUTELY, TAG AWAY FRIENDS ❤️
However! Feel free to follow up with a message. I don’t mind and if anything, it helps me keep track should I get a backlog of reading to ketchup on (which I inevitably have, but I love to have a bunch of your goodies lined up to enjoy) Don’t worry, I don’t bite.
Sorry again for drawing this out so damn long and wordy. Just had to speak my mind 💜

Like, I seriously don't get hurt, even if my family insult me. Idk why. so I'm kinda apathetic? hmm
Name?: Whale Nicknames?: WC, the worst™, and more recently, MJ Zodiac?: im a cusp. also I'm changing my birthday, so wait a bit lol Sexual Orientation?: ace. side note: my romantic orientation is going under some construction. all I know is that I'm a bit gay and also demiromantic Ethnicity?: all over tbh Favourite Fruit?: fruit and ora would kill me if I said apples/oranges. so pomegranates Favourite Season?: Spring.

THANK YOU SO MUCH @mechanicalbride16 for tagging me, Dude I missed you! and without further a due!
1. Why did you choose your url? I actually just didn’t know if I wanted Celerine for this username but I got some inspiration from a character in Rising of the Shield Hero and bam!
2. Any side blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them. I actually have three in total but the one I am mainly using as of lately is @reraphillia. I wanted to seperate from my original posts to reblogs. The other two I can’t seem to find them in mentions so I am gonna have to leave them anonymous
3. How long have you been on tumblr? I have been here for at least one year!
4. Do you have a queue tag? yeah! What’s a queue tag!? XD
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place? I saw a lot of art and amazing stuff and I just wanted to show my appreciation because THEY ARE SO GOOD! I also saw some funny posts and I just hope I can see the, for myself!
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp? Funny story actually! I had a drawing of this cute fluff ball so I wanted to digitalise it, next thing I knew, I wanted to change the background to a dark blue and BAM IT’S GLOWING!! I couldn’t believe my eyes so I removed the strokes and it’s now a slime! Best work I have ever done!
7. Why did you choose your header? I just didn’t really know what to put in, one day I wanted to give my Nanay some Champorado and created this ingredient list. It looked very pleasing so I thought might as well make it a header!
8. What's your post with the most notes? It was a detective Conan shitpost about how come SHINICHI’S HAIR NEVER GREW but then realising that the other parts with hair would need to grow two.
9. How many mutuals do you have? I actually don’t know? I think it’s a good number, I basically take in anyone who I have conversed with at least once!
10. How many followers do you have? I actually didn’t found out until now BUT HOLY FUDGE I HAVE 62!?
11. How many people do you follow? 407!
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?Just one but I say a lot of weird stuff irl so I am surprised that I haven’t made that much but this is a fandom blog so I might use the other two blogs?
13. How often do you use tumblr each day? Every day for a couple of minutes, see something like through the tags I follow and god about my day! ^_^
14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won? Yes actually! I wouldn’t call it an argue me though? Just wanted to clear up some stuff from a fandom’s side! I don’t see who won or who lost, we all have our fair share of opinions so of course some of it might class with others!
15. How do you feel about "you need to reblog this" posts? Some of them are really really important that I think the more notes, the more likely it would appear to others. Wait which ones are you talking about? Is it the ones that say if you don’t reblog then something bad might happen? Then I do get tempted sometimes XD
16. Do you like tag games? I LOVE THEM! It’s a great way to get to know some people XD
17. Do you like ask games? YES YES YES! They are so cool and it’s really amazing to ask people!
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is [tumblr] famous? Yo I thought this place was a bunch of gremlins just hanging out, what do you mean there is a king gremlin!?
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual? Nope, I am currently dating someone and I don’t want to wreck their feelings!
20. Tags: ok let’s get this party started!
My beloved friend @belle-chan-14, @sleeping-phoenix ,@space-forests and @littlepumkinseed
I was tagged by @ofmemesandbands, thank you very much 💖💫
1. Why did you choose your url? Because it describes me and actually @instabilitaet came up with it xd
2. Any side blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them. I have one of them, it's @1984cinnamonshops. There's some aes stuff, art, literature, quotes, it's kinda more organised and not so chaotic maybe idk dkjcjsksk

another ask meme thing
Tagged by @hazardtomyhealth, @symphonyalpha, and @jerrykongg, wow! Hopefully, I’m not missing anyone; also, I’m so sorry about how late this is... OTL
Rules: Tag 20 people you’d like to get to know better I don’t even know if I’ve talked to 20 people on Tumblr, lol.
Anyways, let’s see how many of these I can avoid answering directly by inserting stuff I’ve previously posted on my blog :3c
Name/Nickname: Oh look, it’s the first question on my About page.
Gender: Wow, my About page sure is helpful~
Star Sign: Libra, just barely! That’s why I share my sign with Eli, even though she’s born in October and I was born in September, haha.
Height: Shorter than Nico_(:3 」∠)_ (1) (2)
Hogwarts House: I feel like I’ve mentioned this on my blog, but I can’t remember when, so...I’m a Hufflepuff by ~choice~. I was actually Hatstalled on Pottermore! That means that the Hat couldn’t choose between two Houses for me, and literally gave me the option to choose. The other House I could’ve chosen was actually Slytherin, lol. I have no idea how I got Hatstalled between those two, though it makes for an amusing story.
Favorite Color: Can’t remember if I said this on Tumblr or Discord, but it’s actually red. Chuunibyou me used to call it “blood-red” or “crimson-red”. But in terms of clothing, I tend to pick black, gray, or dark blue! (because they’re easier to wash than white clothes :3c)
Favorite Animal: If it has fur and eyes, I’ll probably think it’s cute by default. Furless animals like reptiles and birds are fine as well! But as for my favorite...it’s actually the snow monkey! The sole reason is the fact that they look like cute mini-grandpas when they’re chilling in hot springs:
Average hours of sleep: I have the ability to sleep like 18 hours thanks to the wacky sleep schedule I cultivated during university. But now that I think about it, it’s more like 6-8 hours on average. Huh. Surprisingly normal.
Cat or dog person: Please refer to the screenshot in the next question~ I’m a dog in the Chinese zodiac (y’all probably can figure out my DOB from the stuff I’m writing in this post, though it’s honestly not a secret since I’ve said things like “I’m Suwawa’s age” like a bajillion times lol), and my dream is to own a dog once I get my own place! I love cats as well though - I spent a lot of time petting cats in Korea and the Netherlands.
Favorite Fictional Characters: Everyone in µ’s and Aqours is precious!!! But it’s kinda obvious who my favorites are from my blog description, haha. Here’s what I’ve said before:
Nagato Yuki was actually my all-time favorite character when I was in high school. I pretty much died when I saw her alternate universe version in the movie, even though I knew what was coming since I read the light novels. :’)))
Number of blankets I sleep with: Usually one, but sometimes I use two in the winter (comforter + thin blanket). I dislike having cold feet/hands - the major plus to being smol is having warm hands, actually! It’s from sleeves being always too long for me, resulting in me being able to keep my hands insulated as a result.
Favorite Singer/Band: I don’t really have any particular favorite artist - I usually just happen to like whatever genre I’m into at the time - jazz, rock, classical, pop, slow ballads, and so on. Aside from LL music, I guess I mostly listen to random Korean and Japanese songs. Soundtracks from movies, games, and shows in general are pretty great!
Dream Trip: Airbnb in Europe! I’ve been to the Netherlands and Belgium, but I didn’t have too much time to explore since I was only there briefly (I literally spent a single day in Belgium) for a study abroad program. I’d really like to visit London in particular so I can geek out over Harry Potter stuff.
Dream Job: Defense attorney. Been a childhood dream of mine since 6th grade-ish?
When was this blog created: May 13, 2016! I stalked a bunch of LL blogs anonymously months before that though. :3c
Looking back...my first post (reblog) was so self-centered, omg. My first (original) post is pretty lame too, haha.
I actually joined Tumblr in 2012, but I only used my account for a year to reblog assorted memes and anime gifs. There wasn’t really any theme to it (unlike my current blog, which is firmly in the LL fandom), which is probably why I quickly lost interest. I wonder if I even remember the password to my old account...not that I really want to log on, since reading my old tags and reblogs is embarrassing (even the URL is just...OTL).
But now that I think about it, I don’t think much has changed:
2016 first “yujachat” post
2012 first ever Tumblr post
*cringes and prays that no one ever finds my first blog*
Current number of followers: Uh...*checks*...497?!?!?! When did this happen??? How many of you are bots? Even so, omg this is a lot. Holy shit. Uh. Wow. I might hit 500 soon...I should probably work harder on my TL projects in light of this. ;w;
When did your blog reach its peak?: I suspect it was that “Is there anything that You CAN’T do???” post I made towards the beginning of the LLS anime that started getting my blog attention. I do know that out of my top five posts, at least three of them are shitposts (specifically, from my Love Live SINshine series)...possibly four lmao, I haven’t looked too closely. I did get some attention for my analyses and translations, but not as much. TBH, I’m not surprised that memes rather than rambling won people over! :3c
What made you decide to make a Tumblr?: Yeah, about that...
Birthday: The day that LLS Episode 13 aired.
Relationship status: Single, and will probably stay that way until I rectify the fact that I’ve literally fallen asleep at a nightclub, and then ditched my friends there to go eat dumplings at 2am, because for me, apparently hunger > “thirst”.
Siblings: one younger brother (who probably thinks I’m a loser for still reading manga and stuff)
Wake up time: Generally, I’ll wake up naturally sometime between 9 and 10am. If I’m feeling lazy, or if I stayed up really late the night before, I’ll sleep in until like 1 or 2pm. In college, I’ve woken up at like 7pm before because my sleep schedule during university was, well...
In Korea, I’ve been waking up at about 7 or 8am though, so that I can eat breakfast with my relatives before they go to work!
Lemonade or sweet tea: Does yujacha count as sweet tea? :’D If not, then lemonade.
Day or night: I’m a night owl. I also prefer sunsets and the night sky over sunrise.
Coke or pepsi: I actually dislike pretty much all carbonated beverages now that I’m not the sugar fiend I used to be when I was little, but younger me preferred Coke.
Calls or texts: I call family members if it’s been a while since I’ve talked to them, and I also use phone calls when I have to explain something that I’m either (1) too lazy to do through texts since the explanation is long, or (2) lowkey unable to do since I’m much better at speaking than writing in Korean. Otherwise, I pretty much communicate through messages/texts.
Ever met a celebrity?: Do judges and international officials from the UN count? I got to meet a few when I was studying abroad in the Netherlands. I also met with Hannah Song (President and CEO of Liberty in North Korea) when I was a summer intern for a leadership program in Koreatown, Los Angeles.
Ah, but to actually answer the question in terms of pop culture people, the majority of the celebs I’ve met in recent memory are from university events/performances/shows, and include:
David So, a YouTube comedian. He gives pretty good hugs btw~
Dumbfoundead, Korean-American rapper.
Jay Pharoah, SNL comedian.
Judah Friedlander, actor who’s probably best known for 30 Rock; I took like five pictures with him in various poses lol.
JuNCurryAhn, an amazing YouTube violinist. He’s adorable in person.
Mike Song, founding member of Kinjaz and former member of Kaba Modern (the dance crew that stole my heart on ABDC).
Shin Lim, a world-champion magician. Seriously, check out his Penn and Teller episode he’s legit a wizard; also watching him live was fucking insane!!!
There are a few more celebs (mostly Asian-American artists lol, since I was hugely involved in the Asian culture clubs in university), but I can’t remember them all, since “meeting” them mostly consisted of taking pictures and small talk. Though for a few of the people on this list (especially the ones close to college age), I hung out with them during the post-event party and stuff. Pretty entertaining to see a magician renowned for slight-of-hand play beer pong. :3c
Also, I just realized that everyone on this list is male, lmao...I did meet several Asian female rappers/singers from college events, but for the life of me I can’t remember their names. :’)))
Ah, to rectify that - when I was in junior high, I saw Jennette McCurdy at the Anaheim East West Ice Palace. My brother and I spent a solid five minutes elbowing each other and muttering “Isn’t that Sam from iCarly?” / “No way!” / “Isn’t she supposed to be an ice skating pro?” / “Why would she come here?” / “Dude, she lives in the SoCal area and this place is home to the legendary Michelle Kwan, why wouldn’t she come here?” / “Wait, I don’t even like iCarly, so why are we talking about this?”. Then the poor girl started getting swarmed by a crowd of preteens asking for her autograph, so my brother and I decided to just let her be and skated off peacefully.
As a final note to this long list, when I was in elementary school, I think I might have seen Tim Allen in an Apple Store? I wasn’t sure because the guy was wearing shades, so I just walked past him without doing anything.
Smiles or eyes: EYE SMILES. tbh one of the reasons I love Shukashuu is her great eye smiles!!!
Country or city?: City. I’ve spent time in both while in Korea, and hands-down I’ve gotta pick city for (1) internet, (2) heating/air conditioning, (3) well-connected public transit, and (4) showering instead of having to go the old-fashioned route of drawing the bath.
Last song I listened to: Does the preview for Aqours’ “Thrilling One Way” count?
Tag some users you want to get to know better: I guess I’ll tag some of my followers? I really only know like a handful of people on Tumblr (and am still amazed that they talk to me omg), so don’t feel shy about saying hi! IDK if y’all have already done this thing, so feel free to ignore this if that’s the case, or if you just don’t wanna do it. @lmlm7 @lalalacies @mystwatch @xswordeyesx @queen-of-hearts92
Also, anyone who reads this who hasn’t done it yet, feel free to try it out! Tag me in your post so that I can get to know you as well~
#yujachat#chain post#wow this post got fucking long because of the screenshots and pics#and because of the text wall at the celeb list lol#on a vaguely related note about captain america#my friend in university bought a set of avengers cups#each cup had a character on it and of course we rushed to match a character to a friend#i ended up with iron man......what does that say about me lol

@gl0rified-ignorxnce tagged me! Hii!! 💕 (I sound like an overexcited puppy, I'm so sorry 😂) We haven't talked since first semester, and that's a travesty!
Anyway, here it goes!
1. Why did you choose your url?
Oof, honestly, I was mainly trying to look for a url that wasn't taken. 😂 Buuut generally I just wanted something cat themed, cuz I'm obsessed with cats and that was the first thing that came to mind.
2. Any side blogs?
Nope. Not sure if I will have one in the future. My blog is already a mess of posts. I might consider a full aesthetic blog though. ✨
3. How long have you been on Tumblr?
Uhh, I think since June 2018, sooo for about 3 years. But I did also make a tumblr blog back when I was like 13 or 14. I didn't understand the system, though, so I got bored pretty quickly. I also don't remember the password anymore, so... 😂
4. Do you have a queue tag?
Nope.
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
I wanted to give tumblr another chance. And I got stuck. 😂 Generally, I just wanted to reblog cats, a bunch of aesthetic stuff and memes, but it slowly turned into a multifandom blog.
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
Sanders Sides has overtaken my life at one point and this is mainly a Sanders Sides blog now. I am a very enthusiastic Roman stan. 👑 I relate to him on a very high level. I also do art, so there you have an over-filtered drawing of Roman by yours truly.
7. Why did you choose your header?
I love flowers. And I wanted a pic that's mine. So there you go.
8. What's your post with the most notes?
[This] drawing, with 1571 notes. ✌️
9. How many mutuals do you have?
Oof. Like 16-17, I think... 🤔
10. How many followers do you have?
311
11. How many people do you follow?
427
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?
Anything can be a shitpost if I hate myself enough. On a serious note, no, I don't think so. Or at least, nothing that would officially be considered a shitpost.
13. How often do you use Tumblr a day?
Pfft. Like, everytime I get bored or just don't have anything better to do... So, basically, regularly throughout the whole day. Open tumblr, get bored, open YouTube, get bored, open tumblr, maybe get inspired, draw/do something productive, take a break, open tumblr, eat and check tumblr while eating, do sth productive, open tumblr... You get the picture.
14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?
Pfft, nope. I'm afraid of confrontation.
15. How do you feel about the 'you need to reblog' posts?
Nobody can force you to do anything, tbh. But I don't like the guilt-trippy 'you need to reblog' posts. I'm just here to have fun, leave me alone. But also, the 'you need to reblog' posts made by artists/writers, respectfully telling you to reblog their art/writing cuz that's the only way for art/writing to be seen by other people on tumblr are very much justified. Reblog art/writing that you like, please. That's the best way to support artists/writers on tumblr.
16. Do you like tag games?
Yeah! Makes me feel included/involved (idk, English language, have mercy on me) ☺️
17. Do you like ask games?
They are fun! Even though I haven't done one myself before. 😅 Gonna have to do that soon.
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
I have like, no idea, dude.
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?
Nope.
20. Tags!
Uhh, @hetacon, @meowthefluffy, @orangeismylemon, @onesweettooth, @artissi-jam, @astronomical-bagel
That's it! No pressure, though!
