Woah This Character Is So Cool I Wish They Were Covered In Blood Their Whole Body Trembling With A Look

I have a simple question. Why is a ship "immoral" if there's an age gap between the characters?

All anime ships are fictional, so why is "your ship" better than "my ship?"

I started watching Bungou Stray Dogs without any context, and as a neutral viewer, Oda and Dazai makes sense to me.

In Dead Apple, the scrip literally says "Was it someone you were in love with?"

I know Dazai x Chuuya is the more prevalent ship, and while I enjoy their banters immensely, that soulful feeling I only find in Odazai.

Oda basically changed Dazai's life! Odasaku as a character had so much heart and compassion, I immediately liked him. Everyone craves Dazai's validation, but the only one whose validation Dazai ever seeks is Odasaku.

So it would be good if people can stop saying "When char A was 5 then char B was 10" and let everyone blissfully enjoy their preferences.

Ffs if Dazai is old enough to sit in a bar and drink alcohol, he's old enough to fall in love.

Don't hurt others with your venomous agenda, is all I say.

Ah yes. The は of English fandom

As for me, to me, 私は...

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

me scrolling through bsd blogs I follow and getting vagueposted manga spoilers

- BSD current arc, a summary

Don't know what's going on over there in America but :( yeah :(

safe and appreciative place for people, so long as they're not the bad, cruel kind

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

I think about this edit five times a day

Ok I've never done this before so question

I want to participate in the FukuRan February prompt challenge thing (I've never posted art online before so I'd be super excited for that even if my art turns out to be kinda-eh/bad or something) but I'm not 100% sure how things work around here because I lack experience with interacting with a fandom (or just posting in general), even after reading the rules. Do I just post whatever I draw for the prompts on each day for a month straight here, freedom to post late aside? Because that's what I'm getting and what I want to do if I can

And I just tag and @ them on all the works I post ('pinging' on Tumblr means @-ing someone, right?) Can I participate like a year after they posted the prompt calendar thing? Was it implied to be a 2024-specific thing? Should I not tag them, then? Nor put the fukuranweek tag in my posts? (In which case sorry for this post lol I can delete it if you want but I would like some answers please.) I wanna post anyway, it's just the details that escape me.

Oh and I think traditional art is allowed but jic, I'm asking if there's any expectations or standards when it comes to the art's quality or format, again, I've never done an art/fandom challenge before

I tried to look up the answers for some of these questions but it's still unclear to me, that's why I'm asking like this.

Should... should I just be asking them directly instead of posting in the tag and hoping someone who follows it sees it and tells me? I'm so lost on the etiquette -_-,,

lol

m...my first post on tumblr...

Never thought I'd be doing this, to be honest. I've been lurking for like almost a solid decade so if my habits of not posting anything and just liking things reflects that, sorry lol. I do want to post some art but we'll see if I get motivated enough, I'm very lazy about things like that (and I've never actively posted things before).

I'm just kind of in my own world, I don't really follow trending topics. This kind of feels like writing a diary, except now other people can be treated to my rambling.

So, uh, something changed in me exactly three weeks ago. After a long decade of total isolation, I'm deciding to crawl out of the woodwork and start sharing my thoughts and opinions with people. Really, the only reason I'm doing this is because I want to bond over the things I like with like-minded individuals, I don't know how far I'll get as a tumblr blog and honestly that works out for me. I don't care about popularity :/ Just super bored being on my own and also bursting with the desire to share my ideas on specific topics.

Does it show that I don't talk to people much? (Also I might be kind of oblivious to normal people things and living under a rock for that reason, so expect that)

If you feel the need to talk to me in the replies about shared interests/opinions and your own takes (respectful discussion only please, I don't want to bicker or listen to a stranger yell at me for having a different opinion, we're all human here, look at my desc, "if you don't like what I've got, move on, forget and be happy") but think you'd be intruding/bothering like I used to, please talk to me. I'm incredibly bored by myself and your ideas are just as much of a contribution to a fandom as mine are. And I'm saying that because I want to contribute to the specific corner of the fandom that re-awakened my urge to talk to people. You will see

((idk))

((maybe))

I also have a discord but I don't know what to do with it/how to advertise it here. pfff

((if you wanna invite me into your super secret ship discord and I happen to like the ship, which you'll know by my activity, I'm very interested, I'm down to clown, I'm feeling silly, might fck around and inspire you to create fics or even create fanart for your fics maybe who knows >w> >w> ... but, for the sake of being responsible, no promises))

*coughs*

anyways, post

God you're so right as always flare-san

The physical pain I felt every time I'd try to look for prompts and be greeted by thousands of vibe prompts i could think up fuck all with

Like, sure, sometimes they work but most of the time I just give up looking for prompts instead of finding motivation to draw anything

PSA for ship fanweek makers:

Many people (but writers especially) struggle with vague prompts. A color, an object, or a vibe often aren't enough to inspire an entire cohesive plotline. Because every ship fanweek I've wanted to join for the past few months has fallen into the vibe prompt trap, I figured I'd write up some tips to make prompt lists that are a little more approachable:

Include AUs. "Omegaverse" "royalty AU" "soulmates" - these simple prompts come with a dozen details that each writer will perceive differently. What year is the royalty AU set in? What kind of royalty are they? Are they both royals, or just one? Answering these immediate questions can get you to a story.

Include quotes. This can be risky because not all quotes are created equal and finding really inspiring ones can be tough, but short dialogue lines are usually my go-tos on prompt lists that otherwise only have vibe prompts. (Tip: Don't just pick things that sound cool, pick quotes that truly suit the ship.)

Include scenarios. "Under the desk" "stuck in an airport" "in a diner at 2am" "hands-on sex ed" - these summon up visions of full scenes that can become short fics in a couple of hours.

Just include kinks. You can't say "male lactation" to a writer without them instantly wondering why the fuck there's a guy lactating. Most people have an attached answer they don't even realize they can separate from it ("He had a baby!" "Quirk accident!"). Instant plot, just add water. This goes for a lot of NSFW prompts.

That's really all there is to it. Your fandom's writers will thank you if you sprinkle in some prompts with a little more meat to them. Also, I promise I'm not totally pulling this out of my ass - I ran a tiny poll after one of my own fanweeks and these were the results:

(To be clear, this isn't a "stop using vibe prompts" post, it's a "consider adding another prompt that isn't just vibes to your existing lists" post.)

My (extremely late) Fukuran February submissions - Day 1

(Man I must be a nightmare for @fukuranweek because I'm posting everything I've got for Fukuran February the entire month late qwq I am so sorry. things didn't exactly go to plan. can I still tag it as Fukuran February? ._.,,,)

So, Day 1 - I did Magic AU because I felt that it would be the easiest to start with ((and boy was i wrong lmao)) (the other days were easier for me though, thankfully). I couldn't settle on anything except the basic idea so here's 3 different things I did for it. I'm still not 100% happy with them but oh well.

I did all of my Fukuran February art traditionally (though I do have two digital ones that I might post, depending on how much I hate them vs the traditional ones at the moment of posting). My sketches are very messy in general. This one's a compilation of ideas I got while thinking about the prompts, presented as little comics and scenes. I do try to clean my drawings up in the other Days. Oh and they were all scanned.

It's all cat Ranpo

(might've edited the images a bit to move the panels around so the panel order makes a little more sense)

(so I mention bakeneko Ranpo in two of these - that was before I saw the Mythical Creatures AU prompt lol. but i mean... he is magic... yeah this won't be the first time I question if I understood the prompt ._.)

And Fukuzawa's just some normal cat-loving dude he latches onto

I love the thought of Master Natsume and Cat!Ranpo having a dynamic. might dwell on that more

My later sketches, I think, get a little better because I felt like I was actively improving throughout the month, drawing almost every day, and the same goes for how I 'write' fukuran in the sketches, but eh idk. I've never shared my art with anyone

Should I be rambling about my ideas/thoughts related to the art in these posts? idk if that's annoying. :/ I'm going to keep doing that

Oh and maybe I shouldn't spam post all the drawings, maybe I should put them all in one post but I don't know if I'm supposed to- apologies in advance for the spam ig

Might update my profile picture to this.

It me. ((lol))

The artstyle was based a bit off BSD's Wan artstyle. Not unhappy with how it turned out but it's probably not the best thing I've ever drawn :/ What's done is done though. I'm posting it. For the icebreaker. For the ADRENALINE. hehehehehehe

Is ~6 hours a normal amount of time for this thing?

eh probably not, I'm just lazy like that :3c
