I saw these poses from the How To Draw Manga series while going through my references and I thought they’d make a fun meme. Scans originally from here.
Music to write, roleplay, or study to! These playlists are works in progress and are continuously growing and improving. Titled after like-themed action movie and game music, the playlists each have their own personality, and encourage different moods or activity levels. Most music is from soundtracks. The calmest playlists, Temple Ruins and Party Camp, are useful for getting into the mood. This music is less distracting. Once your pace is set, or if you want to get in the mood for an action scene, Underworld or Boss Fight are the playlists for you. Tavern Nights is what it sounds like, full of highs and lows but can be distracting. Field Music is right in the middle, with lots of color.
All playlists are available to follow on Spotify, and can also be accessed via the web player with a free Spotify account. Just click on the [listen] for the link. Please do not hesitate to suggest music/changes to me, either here or on Spotify.

Don’t believe everything you hear about people until you’ve spent some time talking with them in a neutral space. Some of the best, sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure of talking with on this site have the worst public reputations because of charismatic, popular assholes and their rumor mills having one big circle-jerk about how Little Miss Mary Sue is so victimized by everyone around them that EVERYONE has to know it.
People keep on praising me on my ability to control my temper when in reality they know nothing about me or my temper. They haven’t seen my temper. They don’t want to see my temper.
