Hi this is my Uma Musume side blog 'cause I decided I want a separate space for it lmao.

+ Alex

+ Very much an adult and if that makes you uncomfortable you are very much encouraged to block me pls

+ Pronouns any. TME

+ I will be shipping umas and I will not be shipping umas with trainer, they are students to me. I'm making sure they eat and sleep. However I don't judge!

I am a F2P player (okay I paid for one banner 'cause this game hates me) who sucks at strategies and management and suffers for it~ My signature character is Vodka (my first URA champion too <3)

Huge fan of Tanino Gimlet (not because of Vodka) and everything that's wrong and right with her. Her dynamic with Symboli Kris S included. Holy shit.

Agnes Tachyon and Poketaki give me so much brainworms.

And Oguri Cap is fucking precious to me and I'll kill everyone and then myself if anything bad happens to her (I say, trying really hard not to look at manga spoilers).

Some time ago a mutual said "Creek giving Nase her estrogen shot 'cause Fumino is scared of needles" and I Remembered. (And fought my own fear of needles for it)

Anyway. Happy Pride, girls.

🔥 choose violence ask game 🔥

the character everyone gets wrong

a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

worst discord server and why

which ship fans are the most annoying?

what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

worst part of canon

worst part of fanon

number of fandom-related words you've filtered

the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

worst blorboficiation

that one thing you see in fics all the time

that one thing you see in fanart all the time

you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

there should be more of this type of fic/art

it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

part of canon you found tedious or boring

part of canon you think is overhyped

your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

ship you've unwillingly come around to

topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

Daily Oguri #204 is.... Run

When I made this picture, I really liked the clouds and how I did them, but I wanted to try them a different way this time. I prefer that other way, but I really like how I did the background for this one.

Here I go ranting again.

You know, following the Umamusume Discord and Subreddit is a real fun activity in these days. It should be a case study about how privileged the average gacha gamer is.

For employed amongst us : The good people of Umacord and the subreddit (a decent sized minority in both cases, but the loudest – of course) have been up and arms about „censorship” in the game’s Discord. Of course, me being a nosey bastard decided to follow along, what could have a part of the fanbase up in arms so suddenly?

So, the Discord server started filtering fan art. Specifically the type of stuff involving the girls and their trainers (mostly male ones, cause gacha game). Deleting message referring to the girls as their ’wives’. All the while the more softcore F4F/Yuri/girls love, what have you, have been generally left untouched.

Now this has the people in a tangle, accusing the moderator team of taking sides, being „tourists” (whatever that means nowadays), and some nerd dropped an hour long exposé video on the so called issue.

Now I could go on a whole preamble about „only in gacha games” or whatever, but this has me puzzled. Out of all the gacha games on the market, gacha games that explicitly pander to a straight male userbase, why did this one of all games?

Maybe because the average consumer of this type of media is so used to being pandered to they simply cannot fathom that a similar game might be trying someting else.

Maybe there really is a great yuri conspiracy amok, and CyGames is turning YOUR HORSES gay.

Maybe I should go back to work and not browse tumblr during open hours.

Side-tangent : I also find it quite funny that people wave the game around as holy gospel that the trainees are into their trainers when this is a multi-media franchise and we got more instances of the girls being really fucking gay than any type of straight action. But what do I know, I am just a shitter on the Internet.
