Cannot agree more with this. It's easy to lose what made a game, or any piece of art or media, special and resonant when you start leaning on what fans WANT. 99% of the time, fans don't know what they want, except for the thing they already have. That stifles creativity.

So I've been waffling on whether I want to start on any Umamusume cosplay. I dabbled with the idea of going elegant hyperfemme and doing St. Lite, but now I know what I must do. ... I wanna cosplay Marvelous Sunday. And her fuckass twintails. How did this happen to me.

I think my shift partner fell asleep over an hour ago, uh oh.

"Another workplace gone..." Free will as an artist means that I can watercolor Tenna Deltarune as Nanao Misaki if I feel like it.

NO

I've adopted Nanao Robotalchemicdrive as my latest comfort character. A true inspiration.

It's the most Nintendo thing ever to introduce an update with loads of logical Quality of Life updates, but still not give me a way to say "thanks, I know, you don't need to tell me every time" to the airport bird.

I've been craving pizza for the last three days. I haven't wanted to pay the EXORBITANT pizza prices near me + ain't feeling the labor of wrangling my own dough and waiting for my pizza stone to heat up in my oven. Then I remembered I have an air fryer and french bread pizza is a thing.

I have one more UTDR/K-Pop mashup in me at the moment, it's Odd Eye Circle "Air Force One" x "Death by Glamour" but I just can't be arsed to work on it. Y'know, the depression and anxiety paralysis has been doing a number this winter.

He was one of the kindest people I've known. Truly committed to celebrating life and others, and I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the news. May his memory be a blessing.

One thing I do love about my current job is that, in 2018 I got used to getting work related spam like "Our CDN offers 104% uptime on one million servers!!" and now I get stuff like (actual subject line) "Durable Decorative Plastics for Modern Farm Equipment Interiors"

Looking forward to ONEUS maybe being allotted more than $50 and half a scented candle for their MV budget again once they're free of RBW.

NEW SIDEWAYS VIDEO?? And it's about the best villain song ever??? youtu.be/-dJLcqHdRv8?...

I just want a pair of elastic cuff joggers that fall to my ankle, or even close to it. Winter joggers. Going out for a walk with like four inches of my dumb white crew socks visible between my shoes and my cuffs like a complete dweebus.

lmao my very next single pull, using a voucher at that. never kill yourself 😘

Christmas Oguri Cap is a scam by Big Stamina to sell more Stamina skills. (I'm coping because I haven't pulled her)

LRT I was in the trenches for t.A.T.u's rise to brief popularity here in the USA, but EVEN SO, now when I hear "All the Things She Said" I cannot help thinking "Tokyo Crystal Mew transformation song."

can’t believe everyone’s getting introduced to all the things she said from heated rivalry and not from the weird Balto 2 AMV I stumbled upon 15 years ago featuring Balto’s daughter Aleu and a random fox background character that has maybe 4 seconds of screen time total

I colored it

they really don't make 'em like "Otome no Shinrigaku" anymore early MM really knew how to nail the fusion of bop+groove with a catchy vocal hook. youtu.be/E_in4-NES4A?...

Every business should think specifically of me when cutting their overnight hours, if it's not too much trouble. They should think "when Vee oversleeps it's already midnight, so we should be open until 2 a.m." Thanks.

Pulling the tractor edges off lengthy printed documents and making looong accordion paper chains out of them.

i love coming back to a social media after a while away and playing detective tryna figure out which moot is who. like ok. this profile is “big daddy pikmin”. icon is a sad clown. pronouns he/they. bio references wanting to fuck luigi. with these facts i can narrow it down to 18 potential oomfs

Do not use the news as a self-flagellation device, it does not help you, and it does not help those around you. Read about events, and intake what you can, but be strict about what you can tolerate and what you cannot. You can't help other people if you're actively hurting yourself.

I hope everyone has a great time at Vanhoover this weekend! I'm unable to attend for reasons, and probably won't be at many conventions for the next couple years, but I'm hyped to see everyone out supporting an awesome con!!!

Oh i've been around this stupid, stupid country. I cannot overstate how much easier it is to travel between destinations and cover easy ground on the East coast just by driving. tenpages.github.io/us-level/us....

Another year, another katseye bop and another round of people not understanding that the smirking hot girl brainrot is the entire point. I do wish the final arrangement had some funkier elements. A fat bassline would go crazy.

I love so many of them for different reasons, but honestly the one I can watch over and over, the one that feels most personally like MY favorite is Ponyo.

Though I know for a hard fact it will never take the crown, "Twenty Punchin' Dicks: Welcome to Fist City" is the name of MY 2026. I can't believe this stupid podcast and its stupid annual naming ceremony has been a marquee part of my new year for A DECADE.

Out here gutsmaxxing specifically to break my S rank ceiling, and it worked.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

LOSING MY MIND

ok but don't let "actually this is typical US behavior" stop you from yelling at Congresspeople etc. the line between "stop being ignorant of your own history so you understand the bigger problem" and "it's always like this and it will never change so give up" is not as clear as I'd like it to be

When I see YT videos etc where people with zero baking experience bake things for comedic purposes, I become so viscerally uncomfortable. Full on covering my eyes. Related, I would love to be a baker, patissier, even cake decorator for a living if that were financially viable in any way.

I have not watched Stranger Things 5, but I am absolutely tickled to see people going into a "secret good 4th Sherlock episode" conspiracy spiral over the purportedly shitty finale rn.

A couple things about Year Zero video script progress, both related to the fact that this script is framed as a personal experience from the year 2007 and therefore I'm using my personal journal entries from 2007 as reference: 1. My LJA archive file from back in the day is a ceaseless challenge.

ok

Working on a drawing while being judged by the model is a unique sort of anxiety

happy birthday to every horse

Happy New Year, I hella overslept. Hope this actually bodes well!!!

Watching dudes react to Umamusume winning lives like "is it normal for me to be so emotional right now" and I'm just smirking like "My friend. You are an idol fan. That is the idol feeling."

TWENTY YEARS OLD!!!!!! I might be VERY annoying about this for the next few days.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image
