jaunty needle
#

i also have a bunch of ai cards

thorny jacinth
#

omg orange buttons!!

jaunty needle
#

but here's my reiji fig

#

because i love it so much

#

i almost bought an ai one but its hard to find reputable buyers for it

#

sellers

thorny jacinth
#

wowww nice

#

suddenly I forgot how to see card lol

jaunty needle
#

like my luck for sl was through the roof

#

i got setsu ai and otoya as well as the camus and ren card above

#

all within 5 pulls work

thorny jacinth
#

I only have 4 UR Camus..

#

welp the most UR I have is still him lol

thorny jacinth
jaunty needle
#

yeah, but i did have like at least 4 or so account restarts

#

in which i lost all my cards every time because android/apple transfers are a thing but not great

thorny jacinth
jaunty needle
#

like i feel like sl is just like "loyal player" must keep them playing

#

oh god dont even

thorny jacinth
#

like ikemen sengoku, they use codes and I could never remember them

jaunty needle
#

i lost all my save files for my ppsspp games that i completely finished

#

and same with my switch where i accidentally wiped it completely in an effort to make it work as it used to again

thorny jacinth
#

cryyy

jaunty needle
#

like as well as the fact that there's no guides for the utapri games that came to switch so

#

cryy

#

plus the switch ones dont actually have quartet night in them so its like :(

thorny jacinth
#

oh noo why

#

I am actually not too good with rhythm games, only play to enjoy the songs and collect cards hahaha

exotic prairie
#

im terrible at rhythm games i dont understand how people do it

jaunty needle
#

i really enjoy them so its like the perfect combo of making me come back for more

jaunty needle
#

for me it just does

thorny jacinth
#

but I feel stressed out when I see songs with no ultimate combo sign on them XDD

jaunty needle
#

or when you miss just 1 single note

#

and sometimes it just happens because sl lags

thorny jacinth
#

OH YES OMG

#

CRY

jaunty needle
#

and youre just sitting there like 👁️ 👁️

#

im so upset they still havent fixed that

thorny jacinth
#

tears flowing...

#

yes still happens after a lot of updates

jaunty needle
#

also can i just say im not invested in the current cards at all? like i just feel like getting them when it was actually the beginning of april would have made more sense

#

like the april fools event was funny but i dont think it having a summoning as if it was better than the just passed setsugetsuka draw or smth

#

like at this point i only invest in birthday ones because i know i can get a guaranteed ur out of it without scrambling for f2p gems

thorny jacinth
#

I'm still doing current summon banner (Birth of the Frontier) bcs it has Camus with Elf ears hahaha

jaunty needle
#

i mean thats very true

#

i did consider it bc the ren card

#

like tokiya, otoya and ren are my faves from starish so

thorny jacinth
#

but yes, birthday ones also get you titles so it's better

jaunty needle
#

i actually am so sad i missed the ai bday

#

because i really like the "new set" of bday cards

thorny jacinth
#

aww hope they'll bring back the set

jaunty needle
#

not until next year

#

i mean last year they had like the cruise ones

thorny jacinth
#

OH THAT ONE

jaunty needle
#

and i didnt like those that much

#

or at least in comparison to the new ones ig

#

i remember liking the masato one though

thorny jacinth
#

oh wait is that the water pistol one

jaunty needle
#

like last years birthday cards were all happy cruise i believe

vagrant shoal
#

Wow cute

thorny jacinth
vagrant shoal

thorny jacinth
thorny jacinth
jaunty needle
#

i still dont know how to feel abt the circus ones tho

#

like specifically bc of like ren's story

#

like who gave him the right to be the balloon artist and then make it awkward as hell

#

like you can look up the story on the wiki because im not putting it in here

thorny jacinth
#

Haven't seen it yet...omg what did he do

jaunty needle
#

mahandled a balloon

#

manhandled

#

only ren can make balloon artistry sound explicit

fossil breach
#

I'm sorry, Alex. Are you glad you went tho?

icy notch
#

I'm back at work until 4 and im hiding in the bathroom because im still crying

#

Yeah i am

fossil breach
#

I don't blame you at all. I probably would be too.

icy notch
#

This is just
Really hard

#

Seeing eberyone there crying

#

I got to share a memory that I had with him

fossil breach
#

I just lost my Grandpa last month and the funeral where everyone was crying was the worst. Its very hard losing someone that you cared about no matter what kind of relationship you had

icy notch
#

Yeah

#

Not a single person I knew had a bad thing to say about him

#

And I have known a lot of people

#

Not. A. Single. One.

#

He was that kind of person who would cheer you up even if he didn't like you

fossil breach
#

Aww thats amazing. I've always wished I could have been that way

icy notch
#

I gotta get back to work

fossil breach
#

Okay I hope it'll go okay for you

icy notch
#

Alright I'm done

#

I'm sorry about your loss Trace btw

fossil breach
#

It's okay it was a slower loss than yours was so it's a little easier to process even if things hit me at times remembering that it won't be like it was

icy notch
#

im

#

this is just

#

hard

woven hill
#

It is. ❤️ I'm sorry it's hard, friend.

untold veldt
#

ok because someone mentioned in the feedback that a lot of times people are shamed for body hair I just want to throw out that I think body hair is gorgeous and sexy, all you hairy people attractive and deserve to feel good in your bodies (and hopefully we'll get body hair in the game too!)

polar zealot

My husband has a lot of hair, it just means more warmth for hugs. boh

Alex's Tip of the Day #1:
It is important to recognize the difference between missing someone and missing the memories and good times you had with them.

#

gonna throw this here

#

fdghdfgdfg you scared me

#

i was like
why am i typing and why can i see it

whole halo
#

Hi other Alex!

icy notch
#

hey there

whole halo
#

Alex club!

icy notch
#

Alex club!

whole halo
#

You're so right though!

icy notch
#

i hope you like the tip ^^

whole halo
#

Oh it's something I've had to teach myself. As time goes by your memories only stick to the very good or the very bad.

icy notch
#

Indeed

#

And it is very important to know that difference

whole halo
#

Yeah, I relearned that lesson the hard way back in february.
Doesn't matter how good your memories are with someone. If you cut them out of your life once nostalgia will hide the fact it's for a very good reason.

icy notch
#

Indeed!

whole halo
#

I straight up told them when I cut them off again "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at myself for thinking reconnecting was a good idea."

icy notch
#

You go for doing that honestly

#

I have had the luxury of not getting into contact with anyone I have cut off

#

Most of the time

#

The big one hasnt contacted me

#

So I am glad for that

#

he was a total douche anyway and i dont say that lightly

whole halo
#

Same about my former friend.

#

They had a really bizarre possessive but cruel attitude towards me.

#

I'm glad though, I have a note on my desk that says, "blocked contacts are blocked for a reason."

icy notch
#

absolutely

#

tbh the guy i cut off is scared that if he contacts me im calling the cops bc i told him to stay away from my apartment and to never contact me again

#

so i have been living peacefully with my mom, little bro, and 3 cats

whole halo
#

Good on you!

#

I'm glad he's staying far away.

icy notch
#

he better or it wont end well for him

#

im glad that you still have that person you blocked blocked

#

what you said is so true

#

im gonna write that down ngl

whole halo
#

For mine they encouraged me to get into art and make OC 's. Then they humiliated me at every opportunity (Like putting in the rules "If you want to be liked do the opposite of what Alex does") then when I told them to cut it out they told me to improve my act or learn to take a joke.

icy notch
#

thats

#

highly not cool

#

im glad theyre out of your life

whole halo
#

Then when I left their server and said we were done they asked for a voice call which I stupidly accepted.
They then absolutely tore into me about how all my OC's were trash, my art was terrible I'd never improve, and I was nothing without them and when I started crying and begging them to stop they said they were just telling me what I need to hear as well as "Alex I don't give a damn about your feelings."

#

I then told them I was officially done, and to never contact me again.

icy notch
#

big yikes

#

im proud of you

#

ngl my ex friends have done that kind of thing to me

#

discord friends can be horrible 🥴

whole halo
#

Then back in February they made some post about how they were turning over a new leaf and wanted to be better so I messaged them and offered a chance at fixing things if they really meant it.

icy notch
#

nooooo

#

aaaaaa

whole halo
#

Discord friends are either the best or the worst.

icy notch
#

imma say it. people like what you described almost NEVER change. fuck them. they dont deserve to be your friend.

whole halo
#

Well within 24 hours they were blowing up my phone about how everyone hated me, and while they didn't want to kick me out of their friend group I was "too much of a burden on everyone else."

#

So I said, "You know what Beck. It really is over this time. Honestly I'm not mad at you, how could I be? I'm mad at myself for thinking you were ever worth trusting again. I should've known. By your own words you don't give a damn about my feelings."

#

Then I blocked them on everything and that was that

icy notch
#

very proud

whole halo
#

Thank you!

#

They also made some really creepy comments about me and my partner.

#

For one they said I was too young for her.
I was born in August of 2003
She was born in July of 2003

icy notch
#

😩

whole halo
#

They constantly made jokes about how I was actually way younger than my age.

icy notch
#

thats literally one month

whole halo
#

And told one member "You might be 14, but with Alex in the group you'll never be the youngest."

icy notch
#

youre literally 17

#

😩

whole halo
#

YEAH!

#

They just turned 20 two weeks ago so they're not the pinnacle of adulthood either

bitter violet
#

When you get my age you learn that life is much too short to spend it around people who are unhealthy for you.

#

You did the right thing and removed negativity from your life

wintry jolt
#

block, block, delete

whole halo
#

I know it wasn't like that at all, but with all their "you're nothing without me" talk they sounded like a salty ex.

bitter violet
#

Abusive and manipulative people use those exact words on there friends or partners to make them feel like they can't have anything better. It makes them feel superior while shoving someone that feels helpless into the mud. Those are shit people.

It's sad seeing someone in a relationship being ground down because of those words and they become afraid of stepping away because they think no one else will stand them or care about them and they normalize it.

#

I'm glad to see that you removed them from your life

#

It just shows there self esteem issues because they have to push someone else around to make themselves feel better.

icy notch
#

dante is absolutely right

#

well said!

#

My partner really went above and beyond helping me work through it all.

#

She's amazing and our anniversary is Thursday so I'm drawing a gift for her.

icy notch
#

awwww

whole halo
#

My partner is SUPER good at art and I only started last year so anything I make is downright cute by comparison

#

Here's something she made back in November

icy notch
#

WOW

#

THATS INCREDIBLE

whole halo
#

Yeah...

icy notch
#

W O W

#

I AM

#

blown away

icy notch
whole halo
#

When I commission her I always refuse to pay anything but full price because just because we're dating doesn't mean her work worth any less.

icy notch
#

dont make me get my next tip of the day

#

i will do it

bitter violet
#

That is quite nice. I can make one heck of a crooked stick figure so I'm comparison your art is miles ahead.

icy notch
#

do i have to get the next one

#

I will do it

whole halo
#

Also my ex girlfriend spent 300 dollars on commissions from my current partner and I'm just laying in the corner mortified.

icy notch
#

then i deleted it all bc i quit modding the game i was using the assets for

#

i might wanna commission cute things tho in the future

whole halo
#

That would be nice! She's great at drawing cute things!

#

Here's the art I've drawn my friends over the last few weeks by comparison.

icy notch
#

i would love to support her financially

#

It looks good!

whole halo
#

Good! She genuinely loves all her commissioners. -

icy notch
#

Not to brag but totally to brag but I have been called the best commissioner by 3 artists

whole halo
#

My ex girlfriend and my sister both commissioned her in the span of a week and both times I was like, "why me?"

#

Awwwww

icy notch
#

its bc im very patient and understanding, which is apparently something you dont see often as an artist

#

i have all the time in the world to wait

whole halo
#

I'm on an art server and when we have random art secret Santa's (a few every year) I ALWAYS end up getting the professional artists then spending a week perfecting it for said artist.

icy notch
#

i would rather an artist take their time and produce the best they can possibly do rather than try to rush them and get something mediocre

also theres literally no reason for my to ask anyone i have ever commissioned to rush things

#

i dont find there to be many, if any, good reasons to rush an artist tbh

icy notch
#

that sounds fun
i wish i could draw traditionally well
im just mediocre at pixel art

whole halo
#

So she gave me a free commission in October and I told her she could wait as long as she wanted to start.
Still hasn't started. gfedrfgregg (That's because I encoraged her to get top of the class and get more customers.)

#

I bet you're really good!

icy notch
#

and something i can appreciate as a quality

whole halo
#

I spent longer than I care to admit on this

icy notch
#

Awwww

#

lemme dig through my files

It was for the art secret santa

#

alright heres my second tip of the day

whole halo
#

(What she looks like in the show)

icy notch
#

Alex's Tip of the Day #2:
Putting your art down by comparing it to someone else's does you no good and only makes you feel bad. If you need to compare it to something, compare it to your past art, and reflect on the growth you have had as an artist. Whether it's reading old cringe-worthy Wattpad fanfics or looking at the stick figures you drew when you were 6, you will notice a growth in your skill as an artist!

#

you did so good!

whole halo
#

Oh anytime someone says they'll never improve I send them my mspaint art

#

Does that look like something I made? Because I did

icy notch
#

they look dead inside

Oh 100%.

#

This was my art not even ten months ago

#

Yeah!

icy notch

hmm hmm what to doodle

I always joke that becoming an artist to doodle non-binary people should've been a dead giveaway

icy notch

LMAO

I am eternally proud of my gender neutral my OC looks

#

If life were an RPG I put all my points into drawing hands and put zero into backgrounds

icy notch
#

LMAO

#

backgrounds are hard

whole halo
#

Even when I'm having a bad day artwise my hands are fine

icy notch
#

good job!

#

hands are incredibly difficult

#

i am awed

whole halo
#

I have a way I draw them. I can try and send a step by step instruction if you'd like

icy notch
#

no its fine!

#

i dont usually draw humanoid things

#

Valid

#

I hate drawing stuff without at least one hand

icy notch
#

also valid

whole halo
#

So on one server I got sick of correcting people on their pronouns all the time so I drew this and my first comment was "wow, he's wearing a very cute sweater."

icy notch
#

wtf

#

thats not cool

#

i need help
what color is this
pink or gray

whole halo
#

I learned it doesn't matter how many non-binary pride flags I put in people won't get it

#

gray?

icy notch
#

it is indeed gray

#

tysm

#

im mildly colorblind

#

so telling the differences between some colors is rly hard for me

twin remnant
#

have you tried those colorblind-corrective lenses?

#

I've heard amazing things

icy notch
#

too expensive

twin remnant
#

awe

icy notch
#

and also its on the mild bit of the scale

Me: "It's for our anniversary."

#

heh

whole halo
#

I can't draw the feet ugh

icy notch
#

im not in the drawing mood anymore

#

oof btw

#

i was gonna draw then i got tired for no reason

#

bodies are hard to draw

whole halo
#

Anything above the waist is easy, anything below and I'll be pulling my hair out for hours

icy notch
#

nooo

#

have you ever went to draw/continue a drawing and become immediately tired after starting?

whole halo
#

Oh that was me the entire time today.

icy notch
#

i wanted to draw some cool things

#

and then that happened to me

whole halo
#

I don't have time to relax so I push through it.

icy notch
#

that's very strong of you

whole halo
#

Not helping matters was I couldn't start til nearly 7 cause the server I moderate had a day long emergency meeting

icy notch
#

dang

whole halo
#

What I'm currently working on

icy notch
#

noice

#

also dont draw feet
draw shoes instead

whole halo
#

I am, but you gotta draw the feet first

#

You need to basic shape of the foot there in order to put a shoe over it

icy notch
#

what

whole halo
#

You can't draw a glove without a hand, right?

icy notch
#

well i guess

twin remnant
#

Something feels a little off with the one shoulder. I can't tell if the fabric needs to extend more on the left side, or if the shoulder's angle is off. One is a bit directional but the other doesn't follow that direction.

#

Here's my thing about full bodies. I cannot draw legs for the life of me.

#

Even if I'm doing a thigh up the legs will look awful.

#

So I try and map out the legs til I know they look good and by them I already have all but the feet so I might as well just be a fullbody

cold crater
#

idk if this is helpful but try using the app MagicPoser! you can create poses on there so it might help you with leg anatomy :))

#

here’s one of the models but there’s like 6 or 7 other models aside from this one :))

#

i find it rly helpful when i want to draw a pose but i’m not sure how the anatomy should look :))

whole halo
#

Doll posers end up making my poses stiff

u can always try using the posers and then combining it with photo refs 👍

#

I told my date to leave last night

pulsar plume
#

Uh oh

icy notch
#

I believe I got catfished and he gave off sketchy vibes that I did not vibe with

#

I talked with mom and we asked him to leave because she agreed

pulsar plume
#

I'm glad you listened to your gut! That's super important, and I'm also glad you're safe. 🙂

icy notch
#

Thanks ^^

#

I am a little disappointed, but one of my good friends said that I should be proud of myself for recognizing my standards

pulsar plume
#

100%, your friend is correct!

icy notch

Annnd I gotta go to work

Thanks for talking with me ^^

It was nice seeing you!

#

I was just advised to start watermarking my art and I guess I will, but I gotta wonder who in their right mind would steal it

twin remnant
#

I wouldn't bother watermarking until it's finished.

#

Are you using Adobe?

#

It's easy enough to just disable a layer
That way each exported file can suggest WIP until finished.

pulsar plume
#

You should -always- watermark your art when you share it.

#

Once it's on the internet, it's on the internet, and if there's no credit on your image, then you're SOL. Obviously also when it's done, but even if you're sharing a preview, a watermark is highly encouraged.

stoic ivy
#

watermark and/or a sneaky signature that is part of your art too, double the security

pulsar plume
#

I mean, anyone determined to get rid of it probably can, but most normal people aren't worried about claiming it as their own, they just want to share it. So always having a watermark to link back to you is extremely important, no matter what stage your art is in when you share it.

stoic ivy
#

you can also have the hope that they're so dumb they won't notice a signature hiding in part of the drawing

#

and they usually are

#

dumb, that is

Someone just commented four paragraphs on some fanart I drew about how they didn't like the source material. Like what do they expect me to do, remake the show to their liking, go back in time and unmake my fanart?

stoic ivy
#

If...if they didn't like the source material then why looking for fanarts of that at all even

#

What is wrong with people I swear

chilly hollow
#

People are just strange.

whole halo
#

Well basically it was a subreddit of a full franchise and the fanart was of one specific entry in said franchise

stoic ivy
#

They just wanted to complain in the open then? Not cool

whole halo
#

I'm not even angry, just baffled as to why they thought I wanted to hear it.

whole halo
#

This week I'm doing fanart requests, and aside from a dnd character everyone has requested bnha

quaint turtle
#

unpopular opinion orange flavored stuff is the best and banana, lemon, and grape suck

elfin epoch
#

I agree with everything but banana.

quaint turtle
#

BANANA FLAVOR DOESN'T EVEN TASTE LIKE BANANA

dusty knoll
#

lemon ginger candies tho :c

elfin epoch
#

Banana flavor is based on a different banana than the banana we get in stores

dusty knoll
#

legit?

elfin epoch
#

Forbidden banana

#

Yeah

quaint turtle
#

theres differnt bananas?

elfin epoch
#

It went mostly extinct

dusty knoll
#

i know red bananas exist that taste like raspberries but what

quaint turtle
#

forbidden banana

elfin epoch
#

It’s no longer commercially grown

#

One sec

#

I’ll get a link

quaint turtle
dusty knoll
#

FITE ME

#

how rude

pulsar plume
#

Elsa's correct. The banana flavor that we have in candies and stuff is based off of an extinct species of banana that we used to eat

dusty knoll
#

ginger candies are the best - so much better than any chilly cherry chocolate bs

elfin epoch
#

It’s not extinct, it’s just rare and not commercially grown

#

It’s the Gros Michel banana, but the bananas we have in stores are Cavendish bananas i believe

#

Also, I enjoy ginger chew candies.

quaint turtle
#

what dont we bring it back?

quaint turtle
elfin epoch
#

I’m trying to find a decent link but basically there was a fungus that wiped it mostly out and the fungus is still around and the banana is still vulnerable so it’s not viable for commercial farming anymore.

quaint turtle
#

cant we just move it away from the fungus?

dusty knoll
#

do you perhaps mean panama disease?

elfin epoch
#

I’m working entirely off memory here, so yeah, I might have gotten the cause incorrect

#

Wait, no, I was right and so were you.

dusty knoll
#

i mean yeah the panama disease came from/with a fungus if i remember correctly

dusty knoll
#

do you even like sweets?

quaint turtle

quaint turtle

although Franks were originally Belgian/Dutch

dusty knoll

then the euro came along?

red crag

Dutch?

coarse wigeon

yes, the Franks, Ripurian, were based around Netherlands/Belgium

Salian were more Belgium/France

I think

We were marsh dwellers

Then we were like

We need dis land

And so it was

dusty knoll
#

their land?

red crag
#

And then we made more land

final heron
#

Here in the Netherlands we reclaimed a large amount of land

#

By comparison

#

Which is why we don't really mess around with our water management

#

And probably also why the dutch are the kings of making dredging equipment

coarse wigeon
#

i mean, we stole them when we took Willem from you

final heron
#

The dredging equipment?

coarse wigeon
#

the techniques

final heron
#

Haha we took your king and your shovels!

coarse wigeon

i mean, we paid you back by taking South Africa and New York

you got Indonesia though instead , so eh

Duolingo is great for words and initial work, but nuance is better spoken

So I have a lovely teacher too

dusty knoll

:o

#

omfg i just wanted to ask what kind of app the yandere owl is, got me good 😂

#

one on one classes, like tandem or professional?

stoic ivy
#

If the owl is too yandere for some, lingodeer is a nice alternative

#

It was a nice and intuitive app for me

#

Also Takoboto, that app dictionary helped a lot!

final heron
#

We get along well so it's a lot of fun

final heron

EVERY TIME

#

Never heard of lingodeer, will have a look

#

I don't mind the owl though ha

#

Time for a whole menagerie of linguistic animals

stoic ivy

I dunno if lingodeer is better or more expanded tho I'll give you that. It was enough for me to learn the basics in order to not get my disoriented butt lost if I ever went there with my friends 😂

Not something you just came up with

It truly is, no joke

Another great one is 私はりんごです

I am an apple

Why would... you have to learn those sentences

those definitely sound like Duolingo specialties

red crag

Fair point

final heron

I did learn more useful ones

Such as saying I partied for 24 hours

woven hill
#

the Hangul lessons had stuff like that too

final heron
#

After working for 36

red crag
#

It's the owl's fault

final heron

The more legitimate answer is, even if a sentence is odd, being grammatically correct is also relevant even in odd cases
