Places I'm At

Went ahead and updated my Carrd with my commission info, Bluesky, and Patreon. Commissions are always open, so please send me a DM over Discord to discuss if you're ever interested.

Well there is good and bad in every fandom, you just gotta find the right people and places, as cliche as that sounds. I too am also loving the werewolf monster DR art btw.

Hey, thanks so much! In every fandom I think I've made a demon, werewolf, and mermaid 'AU' or just wanted to see what they'd look like. Just always fun for me. I absolutely loved my time in the fandom but most of the friends disappeared or moved on to greener pastures. I can only think of one DR friend I have left and we haven't spoken since we were both in the DBH fandom as well lol That said, I did get a few comments on my old old fic so I'm considering perhaps at least finishing it. I just need to remember where I was going with it because even I'M stumped! This was back when I used OpenOffice for my writing so if it's not on an external somewhere I'm boned. Though I also wouldn't be opposed to re-writing it either, if I get bonked on the head by something NDRV3 again. I miss Shuichi a lot lol

Nice DR art. Are you still in the fandom?

Hello!

I AM but not as active as I once was. I mainly just reblog art here and there these days. I started a playthrough on Twitch about 2 years ago in hopes that it'd lure more people but it didn't lol

Outside of abandoned fics and some zines/merch I bought over the years, it's been relatively quiet. If I'm being honest, I got bullied away from the fandom after I wrote a long fic but the NDRV3 fandom was always...divisive.

I still love the series, I just don't even know how to wriggle back into the fandom if I'm honest.

Where are you getting it? I've noticed full color tattoos hurt less on areas that are slightly fatty.

Both of my tattoos are on my shoulder areas and didn't hurt TOO bad. I was debating either the side of my thigh or under the tattoos where the bicep is. I'm unsure HOW big the drawing is, I don't want it to lose too many details, but the issue is is I'm a STICK of a human and I know color's way worse than just black.

Getting to draw some Dabi/Touya selfcest for a comm and I'm sitting here trying to be normal.

[chainslobber]

Well...this has been a strange day.

There's nothing more humbling and disheartening for someone really excited for their comm and happily talking about it and loving every step of the process but then they get the final image and go radio silent only to show up two weeks later, saying 'thanks', and then blocking you on everything. Even more humbling and disheartening is since everyone changed their Discord names and stuff, they didn't recognize me in a certain server and told everybody it 'wasn't what they wanted'. Like, it's one thing that my art never does well on social media, but for someone to blatantly lie about the artwork so now people think I'm someone hard to work with is...I dunno. I've had it happen maybe twice in the almost fourteen years of doing freelance and it's more confusing than upsetting. But the thing is, that shit is damaging to your reputation, even if the customer's in the wrong. Just sitting here waiting for the inevitable chargeback that costs ME money just so that they get free art they 'didn't even like' out of it.

OBS has decided it doesn't wanna make the video pretty but putting this here for...reasons.

My best friend/ex-roommate and I moved away because we both had to help our families on opposite sides of the country and she's gotten into MHA a few months ago, to the point where I was having a really rough time of things. And rather than being normal and being like 'I hope you're feeling better soon', she went above and fucking beyond.

She wrote me a fic, a special little Y/N fic. And then she fed me the chapters slowly over the week. And then I wake up to a HUGE box from her and I'm like 'well she said she was sending a box'.

But what she sent was a box JUST like the one in the fic. She wrote the box in character, gave me an Aizawa themed box full of snacks and clothes and goodies, and it's been my favorite thing ever. Because now I have all these nice things and I see the little hand-written note with the spiderwebs and all the comfy stuff for my own nest and it just makes me emotional. I got such a good friend and every time I feel sad, I go reread the fic because it was such a labor of love and like...wow, someone cares about me enough to spoil me with my favorite character because life's been shitty? I'm loved by a friend who hasn't left yet? Just...wow.
