#niche shitposting is my passion | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

What's boring you about the fandom? Sorry to hear you're struggling with that at the moment.

Just wanted to say though, it is normal to go through stages of fixation and ambivalence, especially if it feels like you might have plumbed the most exciting depths of your preferred niche. (I have felt like that so many times in other fandoms lol...) Maybe it's worth exploring other parts of the fandom, you might find something that ignites your passion again. Alternatively, if you need a break or feel the need to branch out, do it. The fandom will still be here when you feel like engaging again.

(Also, if you feel like it sometime, please tell us more about your minis and joytoy figs. Are they named? Do they have backstories?)

I'm not bored. I'm just having a severe "old man yells at cloud"-moment, like I do semi-regularly. 😉

When I came to the Tumblr-branch of Warhammer-fandom it felt so very exciting - artists and writers regularly got 80 to over 100 notes in a few days on their texts and pics (not just memes and/or shitposts, mind you! The real stuff!) - and not just likes, a lot of reblogs, comments and so much discussion! So many HC were developed here for everybody to see and to participate.

But this all changed. No fire nation, though.

I'm getting a bit tired of saying it over and over myself, but in my opinion it still is true: Discord is slowly killing fandom-permanence. Discord isn't good for conserving things. Ideas vanish. Pics get consumed like fast food and digested just as fast, leaving no nutritional value for viewer or artist. Thoughts get lost, because they wander down the chat-drain and vanish into nothing. HCs get no engagement, fade and die.

The slow, ugly decay of Twitter didn't help. A lot of new people not getting how Tumblr is supposed to be played and take the easy way out to Discord, too.

A Tumblr-blog is a very intimate showcase of a person's journey as a fan. It's like a geological slice of their interests and thoughts. I love that. I want to keep that. I want to get to know other fans. And not the shallow, fleeting way of Discord.

Yeah, as I said - old man yells at totally uncaring cloud. I can't stop time. I have to adapt or remain behind.

And the other thing is my "ceterum censeo" of being bitter about people just paying attention to Primarch-content and don't care about the guys from second row who are in my opinion so much more interesting and colourful. And if they get the spotlight it's just some meme-shit or being waifu'd to hell and back.

I love being silly about characters I like. I love making up shitty sidestories, silly AUs and other absolutely hilarious OOC-stuff. But if that's all that remains from a character, that's just sad.

I need way more Credible Hulks who love quoting the books as much as I do, around me!

But anyways, I'll come around.

That I had quite a few not so very good books this year didn't help either. I need both the Eidolon- and the Xantine-book to be good, next year! And St. Martin better NOT writing any shit about Lucius attacking Fenris (I mean, WTF, St. Martin! That short story was the worst you ever wrote, man!).

Feeling very weird about Redfall, for a whole host of reasons. I was a dev on it for about eight months and it’s honestly strange that the writing was on the wall three years ago and nothing ever got fixed.

There were plenty of issues, but scope was a big one; you can say that you’re going to make a larger project than your company has before and that you need to expand, but there’s only so fast a company can grow. Also, finding niche but important roles like AI designers/programmers that are extremely skilled is incredibly difficult and not something that should be left up to chance. And you can only hire inexperienced kids fresh out of their bachelors for so many roles.

It was a good job with incredible, passionate people that were trying their best. I’m sure many people I knew left a long time ago and I do not blame them for that. Arkane, when I was there, actually had a fairly healthy work culture (a low bar in the games industry) but the structure and management was just messy enough to be a problem. Nearly every single person was stretched completely thin. How often I would bring up a concern to someone just to be told “I don’t have time to fix this.” I can’t help but wonder if someone asked “but is the game good?” to the response of, well, we don’t have time to fix it.

Anyway. I actually have an old tag on my blog for Redfall posts; if you go to #o on my blog (the codename for Redfall was Omen) you can see some old shitposts that reminded me of it. I will probably never play the shipped version myself, but I hope a few small details I contributed made it into the final product and put a smile on someone’s face.

#redfall #i hope they kept the scented candles as a loot item #I hope they kept the random cultist conversations I implemented #o

Y'know I know ask games are for people to, y'know, send in asks. But I don't see people often just. Fill it all out themselves. Fuck it I'll help out the shy people.

SO ASK GAME BELOW 'READMORE' LET'S GO

1. Art programs you have but don't use: MS Paint, Blender, I used to have WAY more like this one painting [like actual paint] program.

2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even): Left is easiest, Right is in the middle, and forward is the hardest of those three for me.

3. What ideas come from when you were little: I was fascinated by G/T from like. 3 years old. I blame Super Mario Land 2 LMAO

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw: Handheld, perspective, monsters/creatures, and massive scale

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself: Uhhh probably about 50/50? A lot of things I draw are spoilers, shitposts, and other study art I don't bother sharing.

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it): Not that I can think of? My art doesn't get analyzed super often. I think people think I study anime more than I do.

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate: Charcoal, watercolors, sculpture, oil pastels, acrylic, copic markers

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in: Originally I was going to make an AMV with my two characters, Nonny and Felicia, to the song 'shut up and dance with me'. These two aren't active OCs anymore, and the project was WAY too ambitious for my skill level 9 years ago lmao.

9. What are your file name conventions: 1: Name of song I listened to on loop while drawing. 2: An inside joke. 3: Literal rep of what's on the canvas like 'Hema doodles Aug 2023'.

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw: Body suits, capes, scarves

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what: TONS. My fave lyrical music, videogame soundtracks, sometimes just ambiance if I'm overwhelmed. Usually tho it's the same song on loop till I get the inspired piece out of my system.

12. Easiest part of body to draw: Eyes!

13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing: A lot of NSFW artists who I won't list here LMAO. I don't go to that school, but their art skills are top-notch.

14. Any favorite motifs: Mirrors, doppelgangers, leaving 1 eye absent for emotional effect, feathers/wings, falling, sinking into water, eyes, dark palettes with bright accents/light sources, glowing eyes, flowing hair, size difference/scale, fucked up version of self vs real version

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth): Starbucks, home, parks if I'm feelin spicy, anywhere I take my tablet for the day.

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing: A lot of my niche/kink stuff tends to get pretty dredge-y for me. I may be good at it, but it's not where my passion lies. That's in animation, fantasy, dramatic stuff, storytelling, etc.

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what: Water or Snapple for the drink, milk if it's bedtime so I can settle down, and then usually the snacks are just whatever my lunch is for the day since we don't have a table.

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken: Not many! Less than $100 I'd say. I'm very careful with my supplies, and I don't believe I've ever broken a tablet. The worst I've done was I busted 1 or 2 cheap tablet pens with stupidity.

19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.): Definitely nature. Tree trunks and swirls therein, flowers, grass.

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy: Humans! Not that it's an 'everyone' thing, I just run in some furry circles where human artists are a rarity. Eyes, too. Some people find expressions rly hard.

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways: Uhhh man damn, I don't follow a lot of art styles that aren't something I took inspo from? But I guess Wolf Walkers is my biggest one.

22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any: Sooometimes I stretch, but I don't do it nearly often enough.

23. Do you use different layer modes: Yep! My most common ones are Multiply, Glow Dodge, Add, Add Glow, Overlay, Pin Light, and Color.

24. Do your references include stock images: Absolutely! Reference is important.

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by: Not much! Most of my inspirations are pretty clear-cut and strong. Avatar, SU, Disney, Dreamworks, FMA, some Warner Brothers' movies, etc.

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended: God, so, the G/T gif of mine that makes the rounds a lot? The one where VT finds someone small and it's their POV and he helps them and puts them in his shirt pocket??? Most people were completely normal about that post. But then there's one chuckle-head who was calling it pocket-vore, and I wanted to scream. I even chastised them like 'hey uh, no. That's not what this is.' and they argued back with 'well it's up to the eye of the beholder more than your opinion.' and I was like 'UH NO. I MADE THIS. MY OPINION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR WEIRD ONE???' I've also RAAARELY had people call my characters underaged when they're all well over 21, so those are always gross/wild LMAO.

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with: Sometimes! I usually do an anatomy study, brush stroke warm-ups, or just doodle something personal first.

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines): I think Multi Animator Projects [MAPS] would count here! I was part of Starclan's Chosen, Change Your Mind [Brambleclaw], Levitating, Family of Me [fallenleaves], Goosebumps Warriors MAP, Pay No Mind MEP, LA Devotee [never finished], White Rabbit, and Fear Garden! Among others :>

29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically: Not much! Pretty much everything I love inspires me artistically. I guess some anime styles?

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated: Pretty much any of my animations. But I only feel that way cuz they take THE MOST dedication and work time. Also kiiiinda my writing? But a lot of people have trouble getting people to respond to literature, so.

Can I say how extremely sexy it is that you also know Tolkien! I'm always obsessed with your Star Wars analysis, I didn't know you'd do as hard with Tolkien too. Please do more! 💖

Haha, welcome, fellow Tolkien fan! I'll warn you ahead of time that I'm nowhere near as deeply into Tolkien's works as I am with Star Wars, as well as far more niche because I'm pretty much just here for the Elves and the Ainur, that's the part of the story I'm interested in and don't really go near the Hobbits, Men, or Dwarves stuff, but I do hang around a lot of long-time Tolkien fans (and have been one myself, for a very long time, too) who are also passionate about the beautiful world he created. But, honestly, while I'll write some serious meta, mostly expect shitposts because that's where my heart lives, I adore the gravitas of Tolkien's world, it's incredible, but also I love being silly about it. Not that I'm not 50% Shitpost Central with Star Wars as well, mind. Basically, tumblr has ruined my sense of humor, so be prepared for the same style of "sometimes I'm serious, sometimes I am going take this 0% seriously and you just gotta deal with me being here". XD

Happy Joe Toye Day!!!

Hey buddies, in the spirit of being #thankful for Joe Toye’s existence (and for copying Dove bc I have no sense of originality), I wanted to say a little thank you to all my friends and followers on this silly blog. I honestly started this account as a joke just to see if this niche fandom was alive and boy is it!

I have had such an amazing time on here and am very thankful that I’ve encountered so little toxicity and just overall had a lovely time chatting to and interacting with so many great, talented people. I love the unique bond we all have over dirty war men!!!

In all seriousness, this has been such a happy place for me to go to when the real world isn’t being that great. Like @softguarnere said in her post, being here has reignited my passion for writing that I abandoned years ago. I like that I can not only shitpost and share my superb sense of humor, but I can also be more serious and express myself through overly dramatic and self indulgent works of fiction, it’s fucking great!!! Best of both worlds babe.

Anyway, thank you to everyone and have a Happy Joe Toye Day if you celebrate! ❤️

#joe toye day #happy joe toye day

in your experience, how do you attract/convert more GinTae shippers? it seems like a lot of people seem to look at them platonically, rather than a shipping potential. do you think your metas/fics help?

Okay I’m going to be candid. If I answer this honestly (I assume that’s what anon wants) then this will better be known as “Heli bites the hand that feeds them” post. You see. I am a snake.

Brace yourself. Unpopular opinions train coming thru. This will probably hurt. I might as well commit seppuku while I’m at it.

You asked for this.

Too Long, Don’t Read;

Don’t Like Don’t Read.

You know the gist.

I’m gonna have to push back on the wording of the question. 😅 I mean, I get what you are trying to say but Uh we don’t have to convert/attract other shippers. We are not a cult/religion.

Now that’s out of the way...

I’m probably not the best person to ask this because I support canon platonic GinTae myself and most of my metas reflect that (Or I hope they do). My focus for the past few months had been just on Otae and Otae + Yorozuya dynamic and their friendships with the rest of the cast. I already said that my current priority is Gintoki and Otae’s friendship and importance to each other. That’s what I always wanted to showcase because even now there are still many people who think that 1) they do not care for each other and that 2)Otae is useless to the story. And it’s sad that those sentiments are still so rampant and so deeply entrenched in gintama fandom culture. We all know that is far from the truth.

Let me reiterate. Those two topics: 1)GinTae friendship and 2)Otae’s role in the story are still pretty under-discussed outside the shipping aspect. That was the niche I was trying to fill. I don’t know if I am successful with it or have done a good job with it. The point is is that that was what I wanted to do.

I honestly do not know if my manga analyses made GinTae as a ship more appealing to people. I have no way to gauge that. ;^_^ Moreover making GinTae appealing as a romantic ship was never my primary intention. If my shipping bias showed in the non-shippy posts then I can’t do anything about it. Maybe that’s just the way GinTae is, knowing the visual and storytelling cues Sorachi gave them. If the stuff I made give new GinTae fans ideas, then I call that a bonus.

I see growing interest on Otae-centric stuff though. That’s progress. and really that’s what I’ve been aiming for.

Moving forward I think the best way to promote GinTae is just do the stuff you want to do. I mean I know it’s supporters have already been doing that for YEARS. But really, just create things for yourself, not for the potential fans. Passion bleeds thru creative work you know? The right people can see it and be affected by it. I say this from experience. I saw the love and dedication previous supporters gave to the pairing even in their old as fck posts and fanfics. That sort of stuff transcends time and backgrounds you know? You can count on it.

Then again, before anything else, DO CREATE THINGS FOR YOUR OWN ENJOYMENT AND BENEFIT FIRST. You have to learn to be be fine with being happy of your own idea of the ship/character first before expecting others to follow. Actually we shouldn’t even expect anyone to follow. Let new people come and explore gently. Let them learn to love gradually.

Okay if you want ideas on how to create stuff for GinTae there are a lot of things you could try:

fanfic - AUs, dark stuff, crack, gen, angst

art

shitposts and memes

edits

songs

translations

sharing art but with permission from original artists

meta and discourse

gintama news and official merch

obscure gintae fandom trivia

etc. etc.

Imo what you want to showcase is ‘shipping potential.’ One of the best ways to do it is to create stuff that make people feel things. Laughter always leaves a lasting impression, but so do angsty stuff that make you cry and dark stuff that make you think.

At present I only do romantic GinTae for fanfics, memes and shitposts. It’s a personal choice really, It’s something that I do for fun.

.....

Regarding meta then I have some stuff I want to gripe about. You might get uncomfortable or get hurt with this but you asked me, the unpopular opinion generator.

I already told you the risks if you continue. so here i go.

......

Look. shipping metas help okay? I learned a lot from them when I was just starting out in this group. They’re always fun and insightful.

HOWEVER. they can be alienating too. The wording on metas especially can cause lots of eyebrows to raise. Yes, what I’m trying to suggest is to tone down careless usage of the following shippy terms:

winner

canon

endgame

boyfriend

girlfriend

mother

father

husband

wife

toxic

healthy

etc. etc.

Now I am not saying to never use some of these words. BUT expect pushback when they are used recklessly and with little context especially on serious meta/discourse.

This goes for all ships btw, not just gintae. And everyone is just as guilty of using the above words (and more) to stir up conflict. Instead of making antis learn to appreciate the ship, these words could just make the misunderstanding and hate worse.

Remember, shipping is not a race to the finish line, it’s something we do for fun. Yes I am implying that “winner” shouldn’t be a thing with regards to shipping.

.....

Talking about shipping in particular, I’m assuming that ‘shipping potential’ in the original question refers to the ‘romantic’ kind? So then here’s what I think,

I am of the belief that there’s more to life and stories than romantic endgames. Aro/Ace readings of materials can also exist. There’s a world of possibilities and readings out there. We don’t have to confine ourselves in the realm of romance especially in derivative works. That’s why shipping and fandoming is fun in the first place. It doesn’t have to be a competition on which pairings are perfect for each other.

.....

There I said it. In order to promote a ship, just do and create what you want first. and when you make meta be conscious of the words you are using, also ships don’t need to have a romantic reading all the time.

I wish you luck in your GinTae journey.

So I've been more or less retired from the fandom for the past couple years. My account was hacked in 2017/2018 but I somehow managed to get back access to it.

I got a full time job I actually tolerate back in 2019 and sometime during the start of the pandemic, I gained interest in the indie dev community and it reignited my passion for making original content.

I still remember a lot of stuff from the PO fandom very fondly, it just felt like it was finally time for me to move on. I'm surprised people are still following this account and reblogging from it and while I originally planned to take this blog down and move on, there's too many memories attached to it and I feel like it would be unfair to take content away from a small and niche fandom. While I don't plan on being as active as I was in 2015, I may occassionally drop by and leave art, shitposts and reblogs every once in a while.

If we're mutuals and you wanna get back in touch with me, go ahead and DM me for my discord and/or telegram.

2020 ~everything~ wrap

i finally have time to do all of the tag games that people have tagged me in over the past month or so! i cannot for the life of me remember who tagged me in which one, so i’m just putting ~everything~ in one huge post. if i tag you anywhere then consider it a standing invitation to do whichever of these you haven’t done :) in fact, this is me issuing a standing invite to any of my followers who wants to do it :) also, thank you all!

Creator Wrap: Favourite Works

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

this collection of philosophy quotes paired with thai bl series, (and its sequel) which is possibly my favourite thing i’ve ever made. for, uh, nerd reasons.

these gifted text post memes i made still make me laugh sometimes

this fic about green from 2gether, which i wrote in the notes app on my phone and published the same day. not my absolute best writing but i am very fond of it <3

i have a bunch fof friend zone dangerous area edits/shitposts which i like, but i’m particularly fond of my fzda as satire headlines (which now has a sequel!)

i also love my crisgood-walmart-lesbian post. i might send it in to gmmtv to try and convince them to do a crisgood-bffs spin-off

+ bonus: since i wrote this list i made this gifset (my first ever!) of jennie panhan in the shipper and i love her too much not to include her on here

+ extra nerdy bonus: this niche meme about Chinese philosophy, which still makes me crack up whenever I think about it

Favourite Creators/Follow Forever

i’ve completely lost track of who’s following who from which blog, so this is just going to be a haphazard, non-exhaustive list of people who i adore/admire/am vaguely intimidated by, mutuality be damned. maybe we talk all the time! maybe we’ve never interacted! maybe i am constantly there in ur tags... lurking... 👀... but if you’re on this list you have made me smile at least once this year and i love you for that alone <3

@wjmild kylie!! you make gifs of arm & tay & lee (separately or in various combinations) & the shipper & and kapook & random fluke pusit cameos & school rangers so i don’t have to <3 ilysm

@janeramida vianey, you have such impeccable taste in general, but your sizzy gifset in particular is so gorgeous it lives in my mind rent free

@applelapis bri, this post was a callout and i want you to know that it haunts me at night as i lie awake staring at the ceiling :((((( i hope you are happy

@gigiesarocha cata, i love it when you show up on my dash bc you have!! such taste!! also, every time you gif gigie i gain five years of life <3 pls continue doing the Good Work

@pvrrish eleni, i remeber legit thinking that this was an official poster when i first saw it, it’s so beautiful

@ahysopae juliette your khaithird fic is so good and it literally changed the way i think about khai (not an easy feat)

@kurosawadachi angel, whenever i think about grace’s speech i remember your gifset and get literal chills

@doctorbahnjit alexa, you have no right to be as funny as you are. your friend zone edits give me life

@khaotungthanawat sam, you’re probably sick of getting tagged in these lists by random strangers, but i just had to bc your gifsets are Pure Art

@tanwirapong roa, all your gifsets are so ✨iconic✨

faiza @asianmelodrama and rahul @petekaos! yours were the first two thai drama blogs i followed and for ages i lowkey thought of you as my fandom parents.

and some more blogs that make me happy: @curlykytta / @lee-thanat / @fck-inspector-m / @pangwave / @tichawongtipkanon / @tawanv @kimmonv (violet istg i have spent more time this year trying to figure out how many blogs you have than i have spent admiring your gifsets. & i spend a lot of time admiring your gifsets) / @taytawan / @1akorn and @yihwas (and your radiant lovechild @lakornladies ofc) / @teh-ohaew / @vihokratanas (mel your gifsets are just so gorgeous) / @tootiredtoosadtooangry / @headcompletelyempty / @demiromanticmickey / and there are definitely more but my brain is a sieve so apologies if i’ve forgotten anyone!! i love you all!!

2020 HIGHLIGHTS ✨

rules: list your top 10 shows (bl or not) you watched in 2020 (doesn’t necessarily have to be shows that came out in 2020 though!)

1. 2GETHER & STILL2GETHER

my first thai drama, and even after all the amazing shows i’ve watched this year, it still has a special place in my heart. watching 2gether was the first time i’d ever seen a queer romcom that just... was. for me, by the simple fact of its being, 2gether was revolutionary. and then still2gether came along and took all the best things about the first season and gave us something beautiful and quiet and lovely and just proved to me, once and for all, that queer happiness doesn’t need to justify its own existence. there can be gay cuddles on the beach for no other reason than that we want them.

2. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

i don’t really have the words for this one but. it makes my heart so very soft.

3. FRIEND ZONE 2: DANGEROUS AREA

season one was mindless fun because everyone was an absolute trashfire and it was hella cathartic to watch, but season 2... wow. i love it for so many reasons: it has messy and authentic queer rep; the characterisation is excellent and i somehow care about all of the characters; amazing women taking centre stage(!); a wlw relationship with lesbian, ace and bipolar rep; multiple interesting plotlines; actual character development; arm weerayut as a chaos gremlin... absolutely one of my favourites of 2020.

4. CHERRY MAGIC

i don’t think i need to explain this one, which is fortunate, because i have no idea how exactly i’d describe the happy-warm-fuzzy-queer-seen-loving-affirmed-profound feeling that rises in my chest whenever i think about it.

5. THE GIFTED: GRADUATION

confession: i liked season 2 more than season 1 (with the exception of the ending, which we don’t talk about). season 1 was enjoyable and interesting, but for me it was season 2 which made me love this series. it did some incredibly interesting and complicated things (even if it didn’t quite nail the landing): it pushed characters to the breaking point and wove so many layers into the story and questioned its own underlying themes. plus, watching it alongside everyone in the fandom made it 200% better. i love all of you and i love this show. egg girl 5eva.

6. THE SHIPPER

i 100% understand why so many people didn’t like this show, or found it problematic, but through some fluke it absolutely worked for me (even the ending). one day i will write an essay explaining my rationale, but for now i’ll just say that it’s one of my favourite shows about adolescence and queerness and identity and compassion and friendship and love that i’ve ever watched.

7. YYY

this series is absolutely off its rocker, and it somehow managed to be one of the most affirming shows i’ve watched. it shouldn’t have worked by it did, and i love it so much.

8. 3 WILL BE FREE

absolutely iconic. amazing plot, stunning visuals, great characters, canon polyamory, jennie being incredible... what a series.

9. MANNER OF DEATH

i love the fact that this show exists; i love the mix of crime and romance; i love maxtul’s acting; i love the central relationship; i love bun. i know we’re not even halfway through yet, but this show is doing something special and i’m so grateful that i get to watch it unfold in real time.

10. CHIHAYAFURU (SEASON 3)

odd one out on my list, but I had to include it. chihayafuru is my all-time favourite anime and it finally got a third season, which is somehow even better than the first two. mashima taichi is one of my favourite characters of all time and his storyline hits me on such a profound level. plus, in the years since i first say this show i’ve fallen in love with classical japanese literature (particularly heian poetry) so i had newfound appreciation for the karuta matches (aka i cried every time someone recited one of my favourite poems)

other favourites: together with me, he’s coming to me, sotus and sotus s, my dear loser: edge of 17, why r u, theory of love, wake up chanee!, gameboys, pearl next door, uta koi (anime), three kingdoms (2010), blood and water (netflix). (itsay would almost certainly be on my list if i’d had time to watch it. same with dark blue kiss, which i had to pause so i could do my assignments)

Final Thoughts

well, it’s been... a year (i don’t think anyone needs a reminder of the details) but writing this post has reminded me of all the amazing shows and people I discovered over the course of it.

thank you to everyone for being so lovely and creative and funny and quirky and kind and passionate. you’re all incredibly awesome people and i wish all of you the very best xx

#tag game #I think I was first tagged in one of these like three weeks ago? but I’ve been super busy #happy new year everyone #ellis talks #also I tried to keep this as short as possible bc otherwise I could have gushed for hours about you all #and this post is long enough already #but if any of you are in a low mood or want the unabridged version of my praise then message me & I’ll compliment you profusely to your face #:)

check in tag ✅ (Thank you, @chaosmax!!)

1. why did you choose your url?

It’s a partial mashup of two of my names that sounds a bit like a company: “Danie Co.” It’s my Brand™ (facetious)

2. any side blogs? if you have them name them and why you have them?

Yes, an RP blog @dubmiho and @daniecho, a catch-all for non-YGO reblogs and occasional silly text posts about my life

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

Hard to say, I’ve used Tumblr on and off for years just as a way to collect posts that I liked. I started actually participating in fandom (making and reblogging posts) last December, so like seven months?

4. do you have a queue tag?

Yes, “queue-gi-oh”

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

Surface level answer: I got back into YGO somehow, was having a LOT of thoughts and needed somewhere to put them. Realer answer: I think the timing with the pandemmy isn’t coincidental. The Atlantic ran an article months ago about how people were mourning the loss of relationships they didn’t realize they had, the outer circle of acquaintances that populated their lives and they saw regularly but didn’t really know. Tumblr I think kind of fills that niche with convos in the tags, etc.

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I honestly don’t know, it’s not even my favorite color. I guess it felt like a quick, neutral thing? Also with the first header I had (a manga panel of Jou going “Hmmmm”), in dashboard view it kind of looked like he was blowing bubblegum and getting concerned he let the bubble get too big.

7. why did you choose your header?

My header will probably always be some manga panel of Jounouchi, haha. He’s the boy! I was actually a Kaiba stan for like, my first decade of liking YGO. No clue how Jou totally took over this go around, but I’m having a blast.

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

Definitely a Kaiba joke I tossed off and almost didn’t post because I thought it was “too Tumblr”. Someone I used to follow for feminist film criticism (who I never would have guessed even knew what YGO was) reblogged it at one point, and seeing it on my dash from her was the most bizarre experience I’ve had on here for sure.

9. how many mutuals do you have?

I honestly don’t know, but this question stresses me out because I recently unfollowed a lot of blogs so I’d spend less time on here and I know some were mutuals. I know the cool kids are always reblogging the “I don’t care how many followers I have/who unfollows me” posts but I still feel bad doing it. :( It feels like not waving anymore to someone you regularly pass in the hallway at work. Minor, but still a bummer.

10. how many followers do you have?

200, it’s baby blog hours over here always

11. how many people do you follow?

Around 50

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

I’ve made a lot of dumb jokes (affectionate) but I’m not sure any qualify as an actual shitpost. People may think of my super spy Tristan post but I was being entirely sincere!! Sincere, thank you!

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

God, I don’t even want to think about it. I love you but I hate you, my little dopamine-boosting trap. (This is why I try to follow as few people as possible, so I run out of posts on my dash more quickly.)

14. did you have a fight/argument with a blog once? who won?

No, but I’m pretty quick to just mute blogs by blacklisting their names if I see them being rude to someone or if their posts don’t Spark Joy for me.

15. how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

Opposed; I understand that’s coming out of a passionate desire to help but frankly (time for a HOT TAKE) I think a majority of the Tumblr activism I see is underinformed and/or ineffectual anyway.

16. do you like tag games?

Yes!! It’s fun to get to know people

17. do you like ask games?

Yes again!! Same reason. Give me all your opinions. I want to know. Tumblr is like a fin-de-siecle Parisian salon except all our opinions on life, love, art and politics are filtered through a YGO lens (i.e., incredible and inherently entertaining)

18. which of your tumblr mutuals do you think is famous?

This question made me feel old because I immediately thought “What, a secret celebrity is incognito on YGO Tumblr?” But this probably means like, who has the most followers. I know of at least one with a solid following but YGO is such a small fandom it’s hard to feel like anyone’s really “famous”

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

Maybe a LITTLE and it’s extra silly because a) we hardly talk and b) she might be straight I don’t actually know HAHA it is mostly just for cute fun. I can have a little pandemmy parasocial summer crush, as a treat

20. tags?

I’d love to see anyone do it! Tag me back if you do, I’d love to see them (seriously!! say hello!)

#not ygo #tag game #thank you for the tag I love using words!! it is my favorite thing #not shutting up (affectionate) is my HOBBY

How do I put this.

I have no motivation to draw warriors. I'm active but not really inspired to do anything besides shitposting, and that's because my fixation has been on a few projects that I am deeply passionate about.

I have an obsession with humanization. It's not just key components, as it's different aspects to it, such as world building and conceptual designs. And it's not an attempt to create a full fledged universe, as it is developing concepts and creating a breathing society.

However, I have been extremely hesitant to share any of this on tumblr, designs in particular for 3 reasons:

1: My headcanons are not pristine and pure, some of them get pretty dark. I'm not out to create a utopia, rather something that can feel alive, with good and bad.

2: The designs are not what typically this platform prefers. It takes another route based on the family trees that does not lend room for a lot of diversity. (I.e. - A character of African descent in a European-based society with minimal outside world interaction would be more likely to have a mixed raced child than a child of their own race.)

3: I use an extensive design creator called Kisekae that might bother some people as it has both a SFW and NSFW version (I use SFW). Furthermore, I can't make dudes very well on it, so I tend to only make the female characters.

So, I have decided to make a separate blog dedicated to my niche obsession.

This is what I'm thinking to try and keep things separate from the main blog.

- I would not tag the main warriors tag or character tags, I would tag cathuman tags only. I don't want to saturate the main tag with a niche obsession.

- I would have a tag specific to that blog for each post that could easily be blocked for those who don't want to see content from that blog.

- If there is potentially sensitive content mentioned, it will be tagged with the appropriate tags.

- If I share visual design headcanons, they will be tagged with what creator I'm using and the cathuman-related tags only.

I really want a place to be able to share my headcanons and ideas since I'm so passionate about it, but I also recognize people need safe spaces and want to provide options so they don't have to be exposed to something that bothers them.
