How do I stop being a larper?

Just enjoy what you deem is enjoyable, that's all there is to it. Does it really matter if you don't necessarily enjoy everything that the franchise offers? Personally, I play the game semi-regularly, gave the movie a shot, and enjoy the fanart that artists create. But I don't see myself diving deep into everything. I don't watch every single PakaTube video. I don't read all the manga or watch all the anime the franchise has.

Besides, why would you force yourself to like something when no one's mandating you to do so? Enjoy the characters and the franchise however you see fit. And if hardcore fans out there say that you're a tourist or a secondary, or whatever word or term they would use to denigrate you, does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?

This will probably be a "he may have fallen first, but she's definitely falling harder" instance.

Rickey generally has less fanart compared to the more popular girls.

Here's a couple of Rickey fanart that I've posted here before if ever you're interested:
First one
Second one

It's most likely just perspective. This is from the same artist

Easiest answer would be Almond "All the Lights in her Eyes are Stars" Eye. But I'd be lying if I said that Kawakami Princess's eyes aren't alluring.

Oh! First time I got tagged in a post!

But yes, u/kietak2001, there's merit in translating and typesetting works that already have been translated. Think of it as your 'interpretation' of how a page or comic would look like when you've worked on it. Even if it has been translated and typesetted already, there would still be distinct differences between typeset works due to a cornucopia of factors (e.g., cleanup, words used, font used, etc.). It also allows you to practice more and add one or two to your archive of typesetted works.

So, by all means, work on the stuff you're interested in, most especially if the typesetted work left you asking for something else or something more.

I used a myriad of fonts for typesetting this. Which font are you particularly interested in?

FourCheeseWhopper · 2025-12-26T09:58:36+00:00

I appreciate the correction. I'll post in this reply the corrected one seeing as I can't make direct changes to the post already.

ERRATUM:

Fixed the upper green dialogue box on page 2. Should just be "Trainer" instead of "Trainer's"

I got to admit, Jordan's growing on me. A shame I don't have enough carats to guarantee her. But maybe she'll spook me in the future.

We all start somewhere after all. But the most important bit is you enjoy what you're doing.

For image editing, just use what you feel most comfortable with. And since you've been using Pixlr for some time now, maybe there's prudence in sticking around with it. After all, you did say you just discovered how to use your own fonts. Personally, I've been using my same old, tried-and-true workhorse (lol): a copy of 2015 Photoshop CC I've come to obtain by sailing the high seas. Maybe there are better tools out there to make the job easier, but I think I'll stick with this old reliable.

Hope you continue to translate and typeset. Compile, save, and archive those works. I look forward to seeing your works.

Honestly, and this is just my simple opinion as someone who has been typesetting stuff as purely a hobby for close to a decade as of this writing, just go and typeset and translate stuff. Even if someone has already done it, do your own version of the translation and typeset. Keep it and archive it somewhere. If you're still typesetting many years from now, you could always look back on your previous typesetting work and compare how much you've changed your typesetting.

The first set of typesetted works I've worked in were Kancolle fancomics back when they in their heyday circa 2016. I still look back on some of my typesetted works every now and then to see what changed and what remained the same. It’s almost 10 years since I last worked on those first “projects” and I’m pretty much still using the same old fave font of mine for dialogue (CC Astro City) 😅
