i feel like my art’s the prettiest it’s ever been and i’m happy w my development colours wise and i’m drawing full bodies apart from portraits (which is my comfort zone at least digitally) and idk i feel like there’s definitely a progress (not perfection never perfection, you’re never 100% content w your art but there is love for it obviously) but i’ve literally gone from 100 likes on instagram (my average) to 40 ?? and it’s so discouraging hh like, i understand exposure depends on timing and the content itself (for instance if i post sf9 fanart i know my ptg followers or try guys followers won’t care for it) and i only have over 500 followers which isn’t that big an audience, but idk even big 15k follower accounts get insecure about getting 2k likes intead of 10k so imagine me w my 40 likes lmao
i’m just a lil sad it makes you feel like no one’s watching so why post your art at all, ironically though bc i know no one following my tumblr’s here for my art but i still post it at whatever time anyway !!
Makoto Tachibana (Free!) - we’re both the mum in our group of friends or with any friend, really; pretty good with kids and we love and are loved by cats. i also identify deeply with that moment in which he’s walking to school with Haru and he just won’t stfu, that is p much myself, can’t help it.
Koujaku (DRAMAtical Murder) - i’m a suave motherfucking prince that appreciates both women and men, but who’ll turn into the biggest dork around those my heart longs for; also, we’re both a little bit of a fuckboi.
Tobio Kageyama (Haikyuu!!) - same height, SAME LOVE FOR MILK (i’m having some rn), same menacing look that’ll make people think i’m a freaking murderer when in actual fact i’m pretty chill and i just wanna make friends but can’t help being too intense and sometimes arrogant. we’re both really honest and straightforward, which leads to shitty social skills sometimes.
Asahi Azumane (Haikyuu!!) - i dentify with Asahi both physically: long-ass beautiful brown hair (and eyes, that’s v important) and strong built (always been the classmate who everyone thinks is a million years older because of their height and size in general); and psychologially, given that, again, i look like i sell drugs and could fuck you up but i actually listen to HSM while i embrace my Clear pillow. i am very fucking sensitive, i will cry.
Yuu Kashima (GSNK) - yesterday i was literally called 王子様 and compared to the women in those theatrical troupes who play both women and men roles. i’ve been also called ‘hey, handsome!’ by a random dude once and i think that’s fairly relevant.
Umetarou Nozaki (GSNK) - tall and quiet, we both seem pretty damn cool, but we’re just huge fucking dorks who draw stuff.

"when did you start watching anime? first and favorite series?"
ooh, boi, this one’s tricky. okay so i’ve had ‘phases’:
i started watching anime without being aware of it (as in i didn’t really distinguish it from other animated series) when i was around 5 years old, with the classic Heidi, Marco, Digimon, Doraemon, Pokémon, Cardcaptor Sakura,
Yu-Gi-Oh!… my father’s quite the cinephile and so he’d make us watch Studio Ghibli too, being Spirited Away the one i remember with the most clarity and fondness. man, i watched a lot of anime when i was a kid: Super Gals!, the art style is horrific but i loved the series as a whole; Ojamajo Doremi (just cute magical girls, music related), Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (y’all know this one, it was hilarious), Zatch Bell! (SO GOOD, i don’t think this one was children’s anime at all, i wish i’d kept on watching because i really wanted to know how it’d end); an anime about different girls-only schools where the girls had names like ‘the white/red roses’ and they were all lesbians (i’m sorry i can’t give you a name); One Piece, obviously, God knows when i stopped watching; and that’d be it plus another 10 series for the not-watching-anime-quite-consciously phase.
+10 years old phase: Naruto, i’d say this is everyone’s first anime tbh, i loved it, still do, i’ve actually been rewatching some episodes these past weeks, but when i first started watching on TV it was kinda impossible to keep track so i ended up reading the manga instead and i stopped reading when that fucking thing that i shall not mention happened. Death Note, NOW this is where the watching-anime-consciously phase truly begins, this is the first anime i looked up and watched on YouTube, followed by Junjou Romantica, which i started watching when i was 12 years old i think like, that’s how much i’ve been waiting for this goddamn third season (wHICH WAS A BLESSING). and it’s still my fave. Elfen Lied, how did i go from JR to this idek. lots of blood and
dismemberment going on. 13 year old me followed the yaoi path with Ikoku Irokoi Romantan, among others, which lmao, my parents discovered so no more anime for Marina, i began buying manga instead.
now there’s a big lacuna in here ‘til i got back on the anime horse years later, first with Free!which i’d watch as it’d air ‘til i got tired of waiting and stopped watching, and then with FMA, read a bit of the manga first to get into it, and then i watched the whole anime, THE FIRST 2003 ONE MIND YOU, which was the most disappointing thing i’ve ever seen, ‘til thank god later on i discovered Brotherhood, which i’m not done with yet ‘cause i feel like if i finish it i’ll be done with FMAand i’m not emotionally ready. sue me. sometime before FMA i watched Sekaiichi Hatsukoi,but i can’t quite locate that one. although i love it i’m definitely more of a JR fan myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and i’d say that brings us to the present and my current and favourite series: after 2003 FMA i started watching Free!again, finished it, lots of tears, definitely one of my favourite series EVEN tho i’m not done with Eternal Summeryet because i’m not ready either. then i watched OHSHC, GSNK, Haikyuu!! (absolute fave), Tokyo Ghoul (didn’t finish Root A ‘cause i’m not about that life, i’m reading the manga instead, WHERE THAT SHIT DOESN’T HAPPEN), Black Butler(just finished Book of Circus, haven’t finished the first season nor watched the second one yet, obvs), Ore Monogatari!!(i love it so much, i’m not usually up for sheer cuteness and shit but this one’s too perfect), SNK (i’ve read more than i’ve watched)… and the ones i’ve been watching more recently are Prison School(guilty pleasure tbh, it’s the worst but it’s so amazing at the same time); and GANGSTA., WHICH IS SO GR8 IT HURTS.
(i was supposed to write an essay but wrote this instead, hope you enjoyed my life’s story. that’s an Ore Monogatari pun, btw)
