When you've got a media special interest or long time hyperfixation or whatever you can hit a point where simply you run out of shit to do. Like you beat the game. Congrats. You know all the lore you've made a 1000 pieces of fanart you even did yaoi.
At this point you can start 1. Revisiting the source material 2. Driving yourself insane like an animal kept in a too small enclosure until you're doing any weird shit that comes to mind. Both the best and the worst fanworks happen in this second state. It also costs health points to keep up. Good luck.
I need some aggressively jealous puzzleshipping. I want them both sick with it. An ugly, human, bone deep jealousy. It must have teeth. Sharing a body or in their own, the mere idea of someone else sharing the same physical emotional and mental proximity and experiencing that intimacy which is designatedly only theirs, can set them off respectively. How they show it can be day and night or similarly or both but the fact is when the jealousy hits, it's the feeling of being devoured suffocated drowned set on fire. Yugi or Atem thinking they might not be others most important person ever in the entire whole wide world? Devastating, entire worlds shake and civilizations crumble. What's important is that they're equally obsessed about each other. Who's better about playing it cool is the joke and the punchline is neither. It's not necessarily insecurity as it is just plain, dogged possessiveness. I am you, you are me, and we own each other. I love you like no one else will. I bleed desire for you. You're mineminemine. If they can barely stand to be apart then they need to barely stand sharing each other.
If you are a girl who is feeling very upset and guilty that you relate to male characters more than female characters: you are not inherently a misogynist for feeling this way, and you don't have to self-flagellate for not being a good enough feminist. Misogyny is a lot more complex than 'has more favorite boy characters than girl characters' and fandom feminism tends to do a pretty bad job on explaining not just what constitutes misogyny but why. Maybe do some introspection on why it's so much easier for you to imagine yourself in the role of someone who doesn't share your agab, though.
i don't think we give enough credit to yami yugi for being one of the funniest character concepts ever executed.
pharaoh atem gets sealed inside of the cursed amulet and finally reawakens after thousands of years with zero memories and the following thoughts, in this order:
1. i have GOT to dress sexier than this
2. I need Revenge.
3. I'm Feeling 🎲⭐️LUCKY!⭐️🎰

If it’s okay to ask, how do you make your AI assisted artwork and can you show some of it? I’m genuinely really curious!!
it's completely fine, thank you for asking!!
i use NovelAI for both my written work and my artwork. the method i use for artwork varies. a lot of times, i draw the base image myself and give it flat colors
then i run it through NAI's director tools to give it a painted look
then i use the generated image to colorpick from and use as a reference while i paint it myself. i struggle a lot to understand color theory and shading, so it helps a lot!
other times, i prompt for something similar to my character and the posing i want, then use the generated image as a close reference. (very little of my versions, if any, is traced from the ref image—im just very accurate at times)
other times, i trace the bitch directly, because why not.
i also use it for modeling! i generate a base in NAI, make it symmetrical in an art program, then use it as a reference to model (this is a huge pain in the ass because it's quite hard to get it to generate a subject facing directly forward instead of at an angle.)
and of course, i use it for design ideas, usually to make something i already have the bones of more cohesive and appealing.
overall, AI is a very useful tool for art in many ways, and I'm thankful for it. as you know but others reading may not, i drew by hand for 20 years and was never happy with the outcome until i started using AI (and other tools! i can't recommend DesignDoll enough. it's a 3d posing program that allows you to configure the proportions and shape of the base model. saved my damn life. i never draw without either it or AI assistance. ever. thank god for technology)
(i also recommend Replikant if you struggle with drawing human faces. it's some sort of free, 3d ai movie maker. i don't use the movie making part, but it allows you to heavily customize the faces of the models, and the camera isn't fixed, so you can make your OCs face and then move the camera to the angle you want! you can even customize the expressions very finely!! it has a bunch of both realistic and cartoony and animey presets, and you can blend two to three of them together for an ideal base before you start refining with individual sliders! absolute lifesaver. it is a very demanding program on your PC though.)
in an effort to ween myself off ai art discourse, I've been making it a habit that every time I see a post on the topic that annoys me real bad I'll practice my meditative breathing. and then I'll open my notes app and rewrite the post word for word but replacing every instance of the phrase "ai art" with "photography" (and if applicable, every instance of words like "drawing" with "oil painting", and etc similar replacements) and then I'll sit back and re-read what I've written while pretending it was posted by a disgruntled oil painter 100 or whatever years ago during the advent of photography as an artistic medium. and this makes me happy, yes
"When you're an adult, you can't get in trouble with other adults-" I'm sorry but did you guys never hear of police and bosses and landlords and prisons and psych wards and other institutions and every other example of unequal power imbalances which directly allow one adult to punish another adult? We unfortunately don't live in a world where all adults are equal and where adulthood alone means you escape oppression.
