Changed the blog title in 2019 and it’s been this way since I’m Azzie! I’m 23 and an artist I use she/her pronouns I post multiple fandoms, but mostly Danganronpa and Steven Universe. I also love the MCU, the It movies, The Good Place, the Riordanverse, Lost (2004), Dan and Phil, Broadway, Game Grumps/NSP, the Beatles, and Star Wars.
Hi! My name is Azzie (she/her) and I'm 23. I'm an artist and writer by hobby, but I majored in music for my bachelor’s, specifically vocal performance.
During June of 2023, I went back and tagged all of my 10,000 posts and reblogs! Click here for a tag guide, or read below for a less specific version. If you want to check out only my art, head to @azziesartblog! I've reblogged all my art there, but it's all posted here as well.
I am the admin of the Danganronpa community here! You are welcome to join- the only reason it’s on “request” is to deter bots.
Let me know if anyone wants a list of major fandoms on this blog!
On this blog, for my art, look under #my art and for my posts, look under #my posts. Real creative, I know. However, I also have them under #a16art and #a16posts for easy access, especially when looking for a specific character or media. (Example: searching “a16posts Nekomaru” will give you only my non art posts that involve Nekomaru.)
Fandom posts are tagged with the fandom name, as well.as “funny (fandom name)” or “(fandom name) fanart”. Drawn memes are a specific subset of fandom posts that combine funny and fanart in specific ways, usually drawing specific memes. I rarely tag my own posts with “funny (fandom)” but there’s a few I do think are funny that I tagged
I don’t tag spoilers unless the media has recently come out! You WILL be spoiled if you haven’t played the Danganronpa games and don’t know the spoilers.
I have multiple AUs, mostly relating to Steven Universe. The most extensive is a Danganronpa Steven Universe AU, where I've drawn all the main game cast as Gems and created some fusions! It's under #danganronpa su au, or you can find the masterpost here.
Some fandom specific and misc things:
My MCU tag has a lot of Stucky, and I heavily dislike Steve’s ending in Endgame.
I use he/him for Chihiro Fujisaki, but you are welcome to tag my posts with different headcanons, and I will avoid gendering him on reblogs of your posts if you dislike those pronouns for him. Please don't start discourse.
My blog is entirely SFW, but there may occasionally be crude humor, which is tagged with "nsfw joke" or "nsfw text". Furthermore, any suggestive posts are tagged "nsfwish".
I am an anti, but I am much less militant about it than I was. I'm strongly anti harassment. I still greatly dislike proships, but I won't harass you over it- I'll just block and/or filter the tags.
I've had this blog since April of 2017 and I may not agree with everything I've reblogged, even if I agreed with it back then. On some posts, (even ones I dont disagree with and just want to comment on) I've put "2023 update:" or something of the like to comment on the posts.
No DNI- the usual nasties aren't deterred by stuff like that- but know that I am a strong LGBT ally and stand against racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and any type of bigotry. Black lives matter. Free Palestine.
Those boards I just posted are Clean Up drawings. That’s as far as I take them as a storyboard artist.
My process is different for every drawing I do. Sometimes I don’t have a lot of time so I just draw stick figures to get the idea across for a storyboard pitch. Other times I go pretty close to the finished product on the first pass. You can see both of those examples here!
Thinking about the whole "there is no platonic explanation for this" thing and how it doesn't account for intense platonic situationships and anyways I think we should start saying "there is no casual explanation for this" bc really what we're talking about is the way the characters in question are Obsessed with each other
This is a common misconception because they’re such similar environments, but you should be aware that dads are native to Home Depot, while lesbians are actually native to Lowe’s. At this point, however, both dads and lesbians have made themselves at home in both Home Depot and Lowe’s to the point that trying to separate them back into their original ranges would probably do more harm than good to the delicate ecosystem of large chain hardware stores.
A properly raised and socialized Dad will be perfectly comfortable cohabiting with Lesbians. Its not really “encroaching on another’s territory”. You wouldn’t say that about foxes in a forest that also homes bobcats, would you? No. It’s just two different species that have both evolved to live in similar/the same environment. As long as they recognize each other as equals, Dads and Lesbians are more than capable of cohabitation.
Now, if you were to release a pack of Lumberjacks into a Lowes or Home Depot, that’s where chaos will reign. Being adapted to a far harsher and more demanding environment, the Lumberjacks would simply push Dads and Lesbians both out and also consume far more than a sustainable amount of resources. It would be like releasing bears at a country club.
As a former timber-harvester… I feel this is potentially accurate in theory. But highly improbable in actuality.
Lumberjacks, like most megafauna species generally require more space than the average hardware store, even a big box store could provide. The misconception is that Lumberjacks are a social species because of how they often work and live together.
This is a matter of necessity, not preference, and a survival technique for thriving under the LogBoss.
A “pack” of Lumberjacks, if not under the environmental pressure of a LogBoss will naturally disperse until they each have a wide territory.
Lumberjacks rarely fight for territory.
One on one, a Lumberjack could drive out a Dad or Lesbian, however the latter tend to travel in social packs.
Lumberjacks will passively retreat on the presence of large numbers of people. Kind of like Sasquatch.
Getting a “pack” of Lumberjacks assembled would be hard enough unless they were forced into a Hardware Store by a LogBoss. In that case, they would already be in a heightened and potentially agitated state far above their natural behavior. This artificial scenario can be likened to a circus animal running amok. If it had been in the wild, the incident would not have occurred.
Free-roaming Lumberjacks are the cryptids of the Hardware ecosystem. They are surprisingly quiet and unobtrusive.
Please stop labeling Lumberjacks as dangerous roving social predators. They are intermediate level omnivores and remarkably peaceful unless threatened.
question where does the “art student” or “DIYer” “crafter” or “soap maker” or “miniaturist“ etc. who has ventured into the store for supplies fall into the ecosystem/what is their impact of said ecosystem?
Most of the above are native to craft and hobby stores (art students, historically, are native to museums, but having been introduced to hobby stores, have found a niche for themselves and thrived), but all can be seen in hardware stores on occasion due to territorial overlap. They are generally low-impact, as they tend to stick to specific small areas and primarily utilize different resources. While a large group of any of them can be disruptive (art students, in particular, are known to travel in packs), in general, they are more likely to have territorial disputes with one another than with the local fauna.
A point of clarity -“crafter” is a bit misleading; while it conjures a specific image, much like ‘fish’ or ‘reptile’ it actually covers a broad array of wildly disparate species, and in general, more descriptive nomenclature is preferred. Fiber artists in particular are a genus to watch out for, particularly in groups. Beware a roving pack of domesticated quilters. They fear nothing, will go anywhere, and due to their social nature, will often seek interaction from other species that thrive best in solitude. They are quite friendly, and will happily adopt members of other species; the concern is that their adoptees do not always wish to be adopted.
I can say as a former craft store worker that if you wish to see true fear, look into the eyes of a Dad who must venture into a craft store. Despite the overlap of familiar beings known to him from his native hardware store habitat, Dads are instinctively aware that craft stores are not for them; they contain unfamiliar perils and even the seemingly familiar may have strange variances and unnerving secrets. (”Why is this airbrush so small? What do you mean nails, why would you… WUT!!”)
Only experienced silverbacks or the boldest young Dads dare venture into a craft store for long without his mate or offspring to keep roving Craft Ladies at bay and guide him in this strange ecosystem. If a Dad enters with his mate and is separated from her, he will often scuttle for the seeming familiarity of Woodcrafts, Models, or Paints (the latter not to be confused with Fine Arts, unquestioned territory of art students), but he eyes Scrapbooking and Jewelry with trepidation and will usually venture into those exotic areas only in the company of females of his pack.
Lumberjacks are rarely spotted entering craft stores of their own volition, for while they do not fear it as Dads do, they know it is an environment unsuited for megafauna such as themselves.
Hardware store Lesbians generally adapt more easily to craft stores, although they may enlist another Lesbian of a subspecies more adapted to that environment to guide them until they find their niche. Lesbians have even been known to seek the aid of a Craft Lady, a native fauna that share similarities with Lesbians but are usually smaller and nimbler to suit their chosen habitat. Dads who witness this are often awed by the Lesbians’ temerity, for although larger, Dads are generally wary of the cunning and dexterous Craft Ladies and may mistake their enthusiastic pack greetings as predatory swarming.
Craft Ladies, secure in their ecological niche, have no fear of interlopers and take the presence of non-native beings in stride, although they may become territorial about scarcer resources.
The only truly invasive species that threaten craft stores are Brides-to-Be, who are mere annoyances individually, but like locusts may descend in hordes and lay waste, leaving swathes of destruction in their wake. Fortunately for the Craft Ladies, Brides-to-Be are seasonal and usually only a threat in the spring and early summer.
Is anybody going to address the newly invasive species of BuJo enthusiasts into the craft store/art supply store environment? Why aren’t we talking about the dangerous proliferation of Leuchtturm 1917s and the growing threat of Dotted Moleskins? I had to liberate a Dad from a tangle of washi tape in the art supply store the other day and it wasn’t pretty.
The natural habitat of journalers was stationary stores, which have been replaced by office supplies stores, not the same. Journalers invade the craft stores and art supplies stores to get the markers and washi tape and Sakura pens they require for survival.
Though they have been driven to near extinction, stationary stores exist in rare pockets. If you see an invasive journaler, direct them to a protected stationary store, often a small business. Journalers are often also Fountain Pen Enthusiasts (FPEs), an endangered species nowadays, although the two are not always linked. FPEs are roamers, looking for the perfect pen- a new TWSBI, the coveted Sailor. They may wander aimlessly through craft stores and offices supplies stores, until they finally find their ideal habitat with the resources they need- the Fountain Pens and their ink. Leuchtturms, Rhodia and the like are vital to Journalers so they can journal- their natural behavior, and they are “fountain pen friendly”- they are safe for FPEs and their treasured FPs.
Thanks to conservation efforts, FPEs and Journalers are growing in numbers, and there has been a marked effort to ensure the future of both species.
What a lot of people outside of Chicago may not realize is that The Beans are a native species to this region and right now is baby season! What you're seeing there is probably just an instance of a young mature The Bean being kept in a secure enclosure, probably due to some kind of injury that's being rehabbed.
In urban Chicago around this time of year if you want to go The Bean spotting you mostly just need to keep an eye out around downtown drugstores for formations like this.
I took this picture myself in a Walgreens. As you can see we have a nice healthy-looking family group consisting of a parent The Bean, several juveniles who will often stay with the parent for several years, and some newborns this year who naturally group up protectively near any large sign reading "Chicago".
The Beans are usually extremely docile and can even be kept as pets once the juveniles separate from their family group, since they are low-maintenance and require only a small flat area such as a desk or bookshelf on which to recline. Fun fact, a group of The Beans such as pictured above is known as a Tchochki!
