No but why am I reading some of the dumbest takes on Seok ryu’s actions today??? Why are there people questioning why she was trying so hard to contact Seung hyo instead of just sticking with her bf??? Why are we acting as if Seok ryu was aware of Seung hyo’s unrequited love for her? She was calling her life-long best friend! The person she met and grew up with since she was 4-5 years old!

And although I also understand Seung hyo trying to move on, it’s extremely sour. It’s no wonder he got so mad upon finding out about her cancer. He wasn’t actually mad at her but at himself, for ignoring her over and over again in an attempt to get over his feelings while his best friend was withering away :/

Positive message ♡

Today I woke up with so much love to give.

Get loved, dear person reading this. You are unique and amazing.

Don't let anything get you down. Whether you're going through a difficult time or not, remember how strong you are for all the problems and obstacles you've already overcome in your life, and that it's okay to ask for help trough the journey.

Kind people who are willing to lend a hand out there exist.

You are not a burden. You are not alone. You are and can be loved.

Stay determined and hydrated! Toast with me with a glass of water to your magnificence🫵

Stay awesome! o(≧∀≦)o💖

For all of March I was doing a thing where I would send an anonymous message to compliment a different person every single day and honestly I can't think of anything better to end the month with than getting to boop a bunch of people as little reminders I care about them

[bathylychnops]

i think about your art and ocs daily … incredible character design and line work and everything always flows so nicely. you’re so good at implying weight and motion and a feeling of solidity to all ur art even the sketchier doodles. also your use of color is mesmerizing and refreshing to me and i’m just obsessed.

whenever i’m feeling uninspired or struggling with my art i look at ur stuff for inspo and it always helps! also you’re so good at drawing legs WHAT DE FREAK i mean all your proportions are really nice and your cartoon anatomy is perfect but the legs especially? your characters always look so balanced and grounded no matter what their stance is.

you and @wigglybug seriously have the coolest ocs and stories and it’s so lovely how well yalls ideas mesh to create really cohesive and exciting stuff [both visually and story wise]! keep doing what makes you happy and thank you so much for sharing your stuff so dudes like me can observe your evolution as an artist 💚🌈🌤️

WHATTT 😭idont know what to say THANK YOUU iioeoie this is such a nice message im smiling

[mothiepixie]

OFF TO BED... FFXIV IN THE MORNING RAHHHHHH

[jichanxo]

sooooo... *twirls her hair* how many asks should i send until kuwagami art. jk as well. the real question will be: does it happen often that someone else’s art inspires you? in fandom spaces specifically

well you see it’s like a loyalty card program, every 10 asks or so you get a complimentary kuwagami

just kidding you can just breathe in my direction and I’ll be tempted to draw them. kuwagami blast! (you've caught me on a... just okay art day lol)

(people still like kabedons, right?)

anyway for my actual answer: in terms of direct inspiration, it doesn't really happen much? the last two times i did art directly based on someone else's work is probably this one from this fic, and also that time i drew art of someone else's judgment au. oh! and there's that moriohpsycho art based on this comic! (filthyguts' work is so very. hgngngghh. very good.) nothing else really comes to mind, and when i think of the other things i've been into recently there hasn't been as much opportunity for that to happen...

flex and herds = strong fixation but lmao. almost nobody else made stuff about them. nobody is surprised umineko = surprisingly i don't read much umineko fanfiction? and in terms of illustration, i certainly picked up imagery and indirect inspiration but nothing concrete enough for me to give an example... now that i think about it, i did once draw andromalius from redaction/sunny, but that was years ago, and also mostly because i was acquainted with the writer. ...i don't have that artwork on hand right now death note = didn't really get involved with the fandom + i enjoyed my own ideas well enough! ...i can't recall if i drew long-hair-L art before or after seeing other artists do it. and as for everything else the same kind of reasoning applies. didn't really get involved with the fandom or wasn't really compelled to make art in response to stuff i saw, or i just don't remember anymore.

buuuuuuut if we're opening this up to just... pulling ideas from other people? then yeah, all the time, though that kind of goes without saying when you have a creative hobby. ...it's probably going to be hard to come up with examples of this since it's more ambiguous.

there's uhhhhhh... kuwana listens to nickelback which was a @/four-white-trees invention, wasn't it? (EDIT: and @/overdevelopedglasses!) (not tagging in this post so he doesn't feel obligated to read my big ass ask responses 💀) as of writing this, it's not posted but i did end up making kuwagami art based on a nickelback song so. yknow. there's that LMAO

for sawashiro and arakawa, i do sometimes go reference @/todayisafridaynight 's art to help me with my own. ("how did he draw this part of the suit? oh, like that huh? hmm" <- this kind of thing)

and um. i'm not trying to pander to you (at least not this time), but genuinely it's one of the few examples that come to mind at this moment. but when i was writing my first kuwagami fic, i could feel the influence of the ever-changing on my brain... was turning over some of your ideas there...

you remember this? (you even pointed it out in your comment on my fic, and i should've said something then, but whatever i'm saying it now)

that was absolutely because of this

(obligatory poke at anybody else reading this post that you can read passthroughtime's fic here.)

so, um. yeah. not really sure what else to add to that. pretty self evident i think. (i'm always talking about the ever-changing but i don't think i can overstate the impression it left on me at the time)

anyhow there aren't really any other examples off the top of my head! these are all recent examples so they're not so difficult to recall, but there are probably others i've forgotten...

[frecklystars]
