[buffaloborgine]

There are some new FMA merchs in Japan and they have this.

It's clearly Pride's shirt so you are wondering why I tagged Kimblee in this.

Well, apparently, look can be deceitful.

If you then look at the pocket on the left side, you can see a small shadow Pride there.

And this would then make you feel curious about what is insides the pocket.

Yes, that line.

"The voices of resentment are like lullaby to my ears"

I don't have to tell you whose line that is.

But anyway, congratulations Kimblee fans, now you can have Kimblee in your pocket.

Envy collection so far

I can finally show how much my Envy collection has grown! I've spent the past few days just re-organizing stuff as it has literally taken over my room, but I don't mind. Envy means the world to me so, and I'm very proud over how this collection has grown <3

FMA Collection of Keepsakes

I took a walk down memory lane earlier this week while sorting though some boxes and found some special FMA memories over the years.

Now, I try to not collect merchandise because that's a slippery slope I'd easily slide down. But here are some memories from cons and my special-to-me copies of Roy and Riza manga volumes.

I met Colleen Clickenbeard, Riza's English voice actor, at a con that was held on my birthday in 2018. Very special. She was a sweetheart and signed this for me. I was too awestruck and shy to really speak other than to say I liked her work and that Riza was my favorite character. Meanwhile, my husband had an entire conversation about voice work and ADR work on Brootherhood and the 03 series with Mike McFarland (Jean Havoc) right next to us.

Meeting Riza's VA inspired me to make our Roy and Riza cosplays.

In 2019 we entered our Roy and Riza cosplay in a contest at a local con. It was an amazing experience, and I should honestly do a write up of it. We entered as beginners and, because it was a small con, left as the winners in Best Experienced Craftmanship. Good times!

Saved the con program and found this gem inside.

The last of my little collection are two hardcover FMA manga volumes with Roy and Riza on the cover. These are special to me because I bought them when I moved overseas to a Russian speaking country, hence the titles in Russian. These helped me practice Cyrillic and were just super fun to flip through to learn a new language.

[iconimg]

Hi, welcome to my little blog. A long time ago, I got annoyed that everyone who made RP icons or pride icons used artwork without crediting the artist or even asking them if using their art was okay. Basically what I do here is try to collect art/images you can use to make icons from.

I also reblog things like obscure scans/comics/screenshots/merchandise/concept art/etc officially licensed things that could also be used for icons!

Looking for icon-able material of a specific character, but can't find it? I'm your guy. Send me an ask and I will help however I can!

Other notes:

Sorry this post is so goddamn long, RIP if you're in a browser that's not processing the read more. Rhis is just easier for me since Tumblr tends to eventually break links that you add to pages now, meaning I can't use blog pages anymore :/

I try to reblog essentially anything from any fandom that's icon-able, but I do have some hard limits and won't reblog/find content for Sōuth Park, Attâck on Titan, Hãzbin Hotel/Hélluva Boss, DreamSMP, or any media revolving around p*dophilia or inc*st. That being said, I'm not all-knowing: If it seems like I'm endorsing something shitty, message me about it, because I might not have known. Also, I'm aware Homestuck does suck ass, but for now I'm okay reblogging/linking it since I see so many rewrites and reclamations.

[You may also be interested in the banned tag. Many times, artists that people previously used art from for icons turn out to be nasty people (transphobes, racists, etc.)]

Make sure to link back and credit folks when you make icons. If someone spent the time to make something transparent, scan it in, etc - Credit them!! They deserve that.

Finally!!!

After several months of waiting, I officially have the Pop Up Parade figure for Riza Hawkeye in my collection.

You know what that means!?

[salvidida]

Racism and colourism are systemic, and of course they're rampant in most media, fandoms, merchandising, the whole shebang. So these are far from the only examples of this being a problem, but it's maddening being into jjba, ffvii, and fma and seeing damn near NOTHING for any of the (scant) core characters of colour from these fandoms.

Like, wow, cool fanart of the cast of Stardust Crusaders! Where's Avdol? :))))

Great fanart of the ffvii team! Why's Barret MIA? :))))

Oh cool, look at all of this art featuring the large fma cast (if not massive cast regarding mangahood)! It includes villains even! ... So Scar just doesn't exist or...? Man, not even Miles? Paninya?? Hello????

#i don't like miles because he's used as a mouthpiece for racist pro-military liberalism but i'm always amazed that even he (the token 'good' #ishvalan) gets left out of so much fanart. but scar being fully omitted every single time regardless of whether we're talking #the brotherhood or 03 or manga as the focus it doesn't matter: you won't find shit for scar. ppl love every single war criminal more #kimblee included which is 💀. but scar is a step too far and it's exceptionally clear why #jjba (esp sdc) fans will lean on the gap in the arc where avdol is recovering off screen as an excuse #meanwhile they will include iggy. which means avdol should have alreadu returned #and barret has been left out of fanworks and canon spinoffs and merch since ffvii's inception #(i know paninya is a side character with little focus & rose isn't brown in mangahood but c'mon it still reeks) #and when the melanated characters get included they're literally whitefaced for the artist's racist comfort #hilariously this rant was spurred on by some acrylic standee merch for fmab that shockingly did include scar! #except his skin is not only significantly lightened! but it's green!! (?????) wtffffffffffffffff #and y'know that most merch/artwork is digital art! you can (at worst) colour pick from official art/anime frames! you have easy access to a #colourwheel! this shit sucks so hard! #not mentioned in the post but baten kaitos has this problem too. people lighten kalas' skin all the damn time #doesn't seem to happen to gibari but mostly because he doesn't get drawn much 🙃 #jjba #ffvii #fma

A 2023 wrap up for my YouTube!

I started in 2021. Holy crud it’s already been a while huh?!

This year I made 8 videos. The shortest was 17 minutes and the longest was 1 hour and 25 minutes. This was the year with the longest videos. Half of them were over an hour. I like long videos, and reaching 1 hour was an exciting goal, but admittedly I’d like to tone it down and not have every video be so comprehensive. For instance, I saved the body mod stuff from the 2B & 9S videos for a separate one.

My least viewed video (also happens to be the longest) was “The FMA cosplay that took two years” which is about me cosplaying Pride from FMA. It’s actually more about me trying to overcome mental hurdles.

It has 145 views!

My most viewed video is “I lost my mind and got Dollfie dream 2B also” which is my newest video and is about customizing Dollfie Dream 2B.

It has 713 views and was published 3 weeks ago making it my fastest growing video in a while.

I made two figure customization videos, two cosplay videos, one vlog, one figure review, and two doll customization videos.

Some takeaways are that I want to be more forthcoming with what my channel is about. I do a combination of projects and analysis, but I haven’t pushed the analysis much even though that’s that I put most time into. I started off hoping it would be a silly surprise like “woah! This toy video is unexpectedly deep!” But I think I have to be honest with myself about actually wanting people to see that part too. So, I’ve been talking more about the analysis part when promoting my videos.

I have also been playing with thumbnails and titles more. That is another thing I tried being effortless with, but I’m not big enough to really do that, and I love curating my aesthetic anyway. I was going for a maximalist scrapbook style for a bit (the FMA one) which can be messy. I like the 2B one better, so I’ll be pursuing that look more and revising older thumbnails to match. I dislike text, but it’s another way to get across what the video is about in addition to the title. Originally my titles were simple like “I got this thing” “I did this thing” but I’ve been playing with things that sound like titles more.

Late this year I decided to stop making cosplay videos. They consistently underperformed and I had the perspective of “I’m doing this for fun so who cares if nobody watches” but uh…I do care. Especially if one self indulgent cosplay video is nuking any chance of all my others doing better. In the coming year, I want to focus on dolls, figures, and merchandise. Any cosplay videos will be focused on one element that I think people may find interesting like crafting a single prop. I don’t want to be mistaken for a tutorial channel though (I despise the idea that every craft needs to be a tutorial) so I will need to think about it.

In my first year, I had two videos do insanely well (5k when 1k is a big deal for me). I think I fudged that momentum by not paying attention to how YouTube works, so despite not being in it to “play the algorithm”, I think I should play a little.

That’s pretty much it! Making videos is quite fulfilling. I used to be a blogger, and I miss being able to put out well thought out pieces. Social media moves so quickly now which i appreciated at first, but now i miss being given the time to say something. YouTube videos are like blogging ~premium~ where i get to cultivate everything from visuals to music. I’m quite happy I made my channel, so here’s to continuing and having a good time.

I also hit 400 subscribers this year! That’s significant for lil old me, so thank you 🙏
