tbh I don't think sameface is as much as an issue for like a college kid on tumblr who posts a lot of art as it is for a giant corporation full of people with art degrees who should know better (unless a fan artist is pursuing art pretty seriously then obviously that's an important thing to consider, but still they're not yet putting out a product like Disney is). I think in fan art the subject is a lot more important than the skills involved anyway

hmm

that's a good point

and it definitely applies to people who are just starting out, or doing art for fun, or whatever

but like… it still really bothers me when I see artists who churn out 10k post after 10k post. and the art is mediocre at best. and I just have the nagging thought that I could do better than that every time I see one of those posts. 

hence why I specified that the trends are those in popular Homestuck art

plummmm

fruit meme

I read that as PMMM for the briefest of moments

plum: a song that reminds me of you

um. right now I have Connect stuck in my head but since I'm pretty sure u have yet to watch Madoka that's a shitty answerrr

this probably doesn't count but you're like one of two mutuals who's into marching band so whenever I see one of you I think of the other

meet the blogger

tagged by pomary

layer one: the outside

name: Nao! my birth name is Naomi but I like using the shortened version online eye color: blue hair color: blonde 
height: 5’7” clothing style: uh. stuff that fits. I like pants and short sleeves. I'm really not Too Picky

layer two: the inside

your fears: everything lmao. talking to people, making myself look foolish (especially to people I care about), the constant sensation that I'm being judged in almost every social interaction, never being able to meet up with my datefriend or QP or other online friends who mean a lot to me 
your guilty pleasure: h a,,, there are lots of ships I could put but I honestly do enjoy the Beatles ambitions for the future: meeting up with my friends. moving in with Sop and/or Nop. getting a fuckign job that doesn't terrify me by the thought of applying for it. surviving. and then if I actually get some form of financial security, I really want to do art for basically the rest of my life.

layer three: thoughts

your first thoughts waking up: shit what time is it. where did my phone go. how much longer can I lie here and get away with it. what you think about before bed: um. my datefriend or QP usually. sometimes if there's stuff I have to do in the morning I think about that. you think your best quality is: uh. I'm good at getting my point across?

layer four: what's better?

single or group dates: probably single tbh. I've never been on a real date except for like two school dances and I don't count either.  beauty or brains: I'll have to go with brains as long as we're clear this isn't the ableist *~academic talent~* version of brains. like basically what defensive sapiosexuals say when they don't realize they're literally describing the bare essentials of a healthy relationship. mostly bc I really don't have any beauty standards at all. dogs or cats: cats. I'm allergic to both but I hate dogs

layer five: do you…?

lie: [nervous laughter] (read: yes) believe in yourself: yeah actually!  believe in love: yes. and tbh I tend to mistrust people who say they ~*don't believe in love*~ when they're talking about how All People Are Inherently Selfish And Only Ever Care About What They Can Gain From Their Relationship With A Person want someone: wow, that's not vague at all. if this is in a romo sense I already have someone and honestly if I lost chirp (for whatever reason) I don't think I'd ever really want to be in a romo relationship with anyone else. because chi's literally perfect (at least for me) and I will fight u. and if it's in a friend sense, I've already got a good number of friends who are cool and trustworthy and nice.

layer six: ever…?

been on stage: yeah! and I actually really love it! done drugs: no. and I never plan to changed who you were to fit in: umm… not intentionally. like sometimes I've changed how I talk in the past to fit in but basically every change to my person I feel would be better ascribed to the people rubbing off on me than my intentional choice to change.

layer seven: favorites

favorite colors: blue! basically every blue except for the blues around John Egbert's text color. I love greenish blues and purplish blues and light blues and dark blues and saturated blues (as long as they're not too bright) and greyish blues. favorite animal: pigs! I love pigs 
favorite movie: usually I say 2001 but honestly atm I'm really feeling WALL-E favorite game: ghghghhghhh. probably either Minecraft or this really cute iOS game called Tiny Tower

layer eight: age

day your next birthday will be: 10 June 2015 how old will you be: 20 does age matter: uh. in relationships, whether they be romantic or platonic, I'm going to say yes. it starts mattering less as both parties get older, or if a child-adult friendship is, say, between a student and teacher, but yeah, it matters. in other cases? um. probably not that much I guess. unless you want to run for office in the USA.
