takumi saying "i miss my wife" aka eito while hiruko is being attacked by the slasher

"let's stick together because it's the slasher route!" [in the rec room] gaku: how come you only give gifts to the girls, huh? (is this some kind of anti-poor discrimination?) takumi: well it's probably because i already finished your wishlist in the last route. gaku: what the hell are you talking about

"KYOSHIKA IS DEAD" takumi: alright whoever the killer is, raise your hand! (takumi raises his hand) hiruko and nozomi stare at him blankly. takumi: (takumi slowly lowers his hand) well that's just embarrassing...

A digital illustration of two cosplayers walking past each other on their way to a convention, on a white background. The girl on the left is walking towards the viewer, but looking back towards the girl on her right. She's light-skinned and skinny, wearing a sleek pink wig with long hair, twin tails, and a black hairband. Her short-sleeved white top has a blue sailor collar with pink stripes and a black ribbon. The collar color matches her skirt. She's also wearing white thigh-highs with pink pinstripes, and black school shoes. She carries two bags: one paper bag with rolled-up posters, the other one a large heart-shaped itabag with several buttons of the character she is cosplaying. On her itabag's zipper there are two keychains: one for Archive of Our Own and the other for Tumblr. The girl on the right is walking away from the viewer. She is heavyset, with darker skin. She's cosplaying the same character as the girl on the left, but she put her own spin on it. Her wig is much more voluminous, decorated with several hairclips that match her makeup. Her headband also has fluffy cat ears. The shirt she's wearing was clearly made by herself, with the collar only having one unsteady stripe, and the sleeve's stripes being faded. Her socks aren't the right length either, being knee socks, also with the stripes added later by hand. She added a fluffy petticoat to her skirt. Her shoes are sneakers. She also has her own backpack covered with pins: An autism pride pin, a Tiktok logo pin, a pronoun pin for "Fae/She" pronouns on a lesbian flag background, a pin of a cat, and the same pin the girl on the left covered her itabag with. This girl also has several keychains on faer's bag: one chibi of the character she's cosplaying, one acrylic of the same character, and a chibi of another character from the same franchise. The girls glare as each other as they pass, clearly neither of them recognizing each other as a "real fan" as they both call each other a "Tourist."

it's tourist season.

ctcon is great for people watching

brought to you by the fact i still have not replaced the lesbian flag in my room after several months.

to quote my sister, "well, now you're just straight-up lying."

an 8 panel comic of the artist. panel 1: the artist asks someone off-panel "are you sure about that?" panel 2: the artist in 2016, putting up a pansexual and nonbinary flag. "yeah, why?" panel 3: the artist in 2018, putting up an achillean (men-loving-men) and demiboy flag. "yeah, why?" panel 4: the artist in 2020, putting up a lesbian and demigirl flag. "yeah, why?" panel 5: the artist in 2022, putting up a trans and rainbow flag. "yeah, why?" panel 6: the artist in 2024, putting up a lesbian and androgyne flag. "yeah, why?" panel 7: the artist of today sighs, with a demiromantic bisexual flag, and a genderfluid flag behind them. "they'll figure it out." panel 8: the artist is startled by someone speaking to them from off-panel "are you sure about that?"

how wonderful it is to live in a world where new language is constantly being invented to describe our experiences

it is fucking annoying sometimes though.

p4r release date when

digital art made in clip studio paint. 2 sketches and one vaguely anime-esque lineart drawing of an adult naoto shirogane form persona 4. they have longer hair in a jellyfish cut design that ends around their shoulders.

this was supposed to be expression practice but it evolved into an adult naoto shirogane design 🤷

being subject to psychological torture (overplayed 80's music)

a digital illustration of yosuke hanamura from p4/persona 4. he's looking up and touching the viewers screen which shatters, the shards either showing his canon design (done in black and yellow) or an altered "adult" design (done in full color)

🎶 All that's left of myself, holes in my false confidence,
And now I lay myself down and hope I wake up young again 🎶

The other weird thing is people like to conflate a follow-count with an artist's level of skill or prominence, and that's just an incorrect metric. Some of our most skilled and well-regarded colleagues have modest followings online. Developing a following online is a whole other skill.

It’s a new month, so here’s your friendly reminder to draw/paint/cut/stick/knit/pluck/stomp/write/dance/shout/sew/rip/tear/thread/smudge/snap/focus/play!

Make a fucking mess!
Make a fucking ruckus!
Just make something!

A drawing isn’t magic. In concept art there’s nothing mystical to it- what it *is*, is a series of minute, specific decisions made line by line, paint stroke by paint stroke, by a person with an expert eye and a point of view. Those decisions matter, the surrendering of those decisions is tragic

being obsessed with three completely different fandoms at a time is a special kind of hell what do you MEAN you don't also care about BOTH high school trauma simulator and overhyped children's movie

Artists are a big part of what makes your social media experience worth it. Most of them post incredible work out there for free (in this economy ??)

Remember to support your favorite creators so that they can keep making things you love. Seek out their patreon, shops, share their work.

a work in progress/wip digital illustration of the op's persona 4 fanfic "exit doors" done in clip studio paint/csp. the illustration is cropped from its full size. an older yosuke hanamura and naoto shirogane are sitting next to each other in a tokyo park. yosuke notably has glass now and longer hair. he looks upset. naoto, meanwhile, also looks uncomfortable, as they drink something from a can. naoto's hair is longer as well. as this is still a wip, only yosuke has lineart, the rest of the image is a sketch.

Unfortunately in the age of social media, that's harder and harder do. I've had several social media accounts, even on this very site, and each of them I've felt like I've had to hide something. So part of me is like, fuck it. Soup's on. Market's open. Fresh cuts waiting for ya. 🥩
