flag id: a flag with 5 stripes, with the third being smaller than the rest. in order, they are light cyan, yellow-green, dark red, light green-grey, and pale greenish-yellow. in the center of the flag is a a vertical dark red stripe the same width as the third horizontal stripe. where the two dark red stripes intersect, they form a darker red square. end id.
banner id: a 1500x150 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting’ in large white text in the center. end id.
a flag for those who are/were addicted to gacha games, games with lootboxes, or other games with predatory microtransactions based on my addict flag!
like in the general addict flag, the intersecting stripes are meant to look like a crosshair and represent desire/dependence. the top two stripes of this flag represent games and the bottom two represent money/gambling.
i wanted to make this flag specifically because gacha addictions are becoming more and more common, especially among young people, but are taken less seriously than other addictions.
like my addict flag, this is not a flag to 'romanticize' gacha addiction, just as other mad pride flags aren't intended to romanticize other disorders.
Did you know that there’s an alternative version of yourself who simps for April?
You cannot see it but I CRINGE at the thought- but I think I know which universe you're talking about. I've studied them all (cause THEYRE OUT THERE) and there is possibility for many relationships..... sadly even that kind.
Something silly i made with my fnaf ocs which, i am proud to say, took me hours to draw and edit everything 😎
The animatronic with the flower in her hair is Amireille the Mermaid! And well, she's a mermaid animatronic
And the other animatronic is Markus the Coyote! It might not be obvious that he's one... But i thought it would be funny if people were questioning what animal he is lol
unfortunately i Do feel better when i clean my living space and eat enough fruits and veggies and go outside and generally remember i am a mammal :| real pity that knowing this does not make it easier to do those things
I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh
i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).
given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)
but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:
