I want persona 3 reload so baddd, but alas,, my town's only video game store shut down a month ago so i cantttt :[[

Thankfully your posts are keeping me thriving in this sad moment :] thank you for your stunning art and posts!!! I love how you draw the characterss,,,,

(I am a bit. Clunky at phrasing things, but i hope this sounds fine-? I just think your art style is so nice,,)

before I begin answering- I'm attaching a drawing of aigis for you anon! :) I still haven't gotten to the bit where she makes an appearance yet but it'll happen soon enough, and maybe I'll get to draw more of her when I do! Her design's very fun to draw, and she's such a pretty character. I hope you like it!!

hi anon!// thanks a bunch for this ask! Aw, it's such a bummer to hear that your town's video game store's shut down.. hopefully there's a way for you to still grab the game somehow... I'm happy to hear what I've been drawing's been giving you some joy for the time being! AND I'm also very glad to hear you find my art stunning!! Really? you do love the way I draw the characters? ;v; that's great!! I love them! It's nice to know you feel I've been bringing them out well.

I didn't find the way you phrase things clunky in the slightest, it came through all lovely and just fine!! I appreciate you telling me about the positive feelings you have towards what I've been doing! Uhhgm it makes me feel I've done even more good than what I anticipated! ;v;)9

p3 reload's been really fun.. I bought the steam version, not the hard copy, and I can say it's been a great experience so far as a fan of the original p3 stories! It's worth it for me!! I'll keep posting about it as I play and draw more fanarts about it..! 'v')9 and tag all the spoilers by "persona 3 reload spoilers" and "spoilers", so be careful if you wish to dodge them!!

Good to know you've been enjoying my posts and art, this is very encouraging to know.. and it surely makes me want to keep doing what I've been doing. Hope to see you around(and could get a copy of the game soon too..!)! Have a nice day!

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

I'm as grateful for cellphones as the next person, but sometimes I think about how everyone having a phone on them at all times really did cause us to loose some things as a society. I mean - for example, kids these days will never experience their car breaking down and needing to find the nearest place with a phone they can use. They're never going to have the opportunity to tentatively approach a house only to discover that it's full of queer people having a party hosted by a transvestite to celebrate his creation of a sex homunculus, stay the night, and loose their virginity while unintentionally partaking in cannibalism. It's tragic, that kind of gay sexual awakening just doesn't happen these days because of cellphones.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Observations from the mouthwashing fandom

[notquiteaghost]

"it's okay, i can peel back the layers of you until i find the soft and gentle core of you you've had to work so hard to hide"? no. no, it's okay, i know you're hollow; i'm here anyway. you don't have to pretend it isn't masks the whole way down. whatever face you want to wear, i still love you. i don't need you to be good or unflinching or the antonym of violence. if i did, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't ask that of you.

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
