you had to be there in 2009, genuinely in awe of this technical marvel that was mmd back then,

in order to appreciate the current mmd, how far it's come

Tegaki’s still alive y’all.

[next-lvl]

That people started reblogging this when tegaki effectively went down is evil irony..... I'm shooting in the dark here, but does anyone have the site owner's contacts? (not speaking of their locked and probably abandoned twitter)

It'd be really nice if someone could contact them and tell that the login broke, no one can use the site anymore.

i don't go digging for new songs often enough to warrant a sideblog where i'd share my finds, so i'll just start dumping my vocaloid song recs here. they tend to be obscure/underrated af, go give them a view and a like.

this feels like art you'd see in a 2000's obscure music vid. Like you know those vids that are completely white with just one thingy in the corner, this reminds me of that. I love it.

Thank you!! 2000s were my formative years, and honestly, nothing better's been invented yet, so I'm sticking with what I know and love.

The summer / Geu Yeoreum (2023)

A gorgeous, sensual, immersive movie telling a lesbian love story that spans years from school to adulthood. I think it's fair to warn about the eventual breakup, as is the fate of many queer movies. In its defense, the writing's solid, albeit on a subtle side, it doesn't spell things out for you, but, if you like paying attention to the inner workings of the brain, you'll probably enjoy this.

IT'S HERE. Happy 2 years of Fragments!

This's the main cast, though not necessarily what actually happens in the comic, I just wanted to give them a silly anime-like intro that reflects their vibe.

I've been drawing these guys for 2 years and it's STILL only the beginning of their story. Thanks everyone who was there before I even considered making a comic, who joined later on, liked what I do, and decided to stay, and welcome if you're just discovering this now.

I'm pursuing the dream of working fulltime on something I love, and, as you may guess, it's a brutal uphill battle in the world we live in. If you're able, join the 350+ people believing that my passion's worth their money.

What else you can do to help? Word of mouth. Watch the trailer, share it with friends, share my comic and art, no, seriously, grab and drag your friends over here kicking and screaming, I'll handle the rest.

This blog keeps getting random new followers even though it's inactive, might as well use it to get your eyes on my active blog @nights-at-crystarium and the project of my life. It's "just" a fancomic and here are some panels from it~

drawing on tegaki and dropping the pic on tumblr without any care for Posting Time, just like 10+ years ago, temporarily pauses the dread of being caught up in the modern social media content machine, highly recommend
