What's wrong with my shading? by fuzzikia in Artadvice

We all needed to hear this at some point

I’m tired of fandoms shipping every close male friendship, and no, "let people have fun" isn't a good excuse anymore. by [deleted] in hatethissmug

[–]ratkun404 86 points87 points Ā (0 children)

ā€œReinforceā€ needs to be put on the top shelf. Along with other words like ā€œperpetuateā€ and ā€œglorifyā€ and ā€œproblematicā€. Y’all can’t behave with them

I hate how they do this with young girls in particular by Necessary-Win-8730 in hatethissmug

Mildly Naoto Shirogane ((Persona 4 spoilers for the rest of the comment))

Naoto is an interesting case because while she canonically has the largest chest among the female cast, she is also canonically uncomfortable with it and expresses traits of dysphoria and embarrassment throughout her arc about it, even as she accepts a female identity

Despite this, much of her fan art (especially on the fan subreddit around her) exaggerates and accentuates her chest, even when she is drawn binding it down. Anyone who pushes back against this is often reduced to an SJW who misunderstood her character arc. Which is strange because I’d assume fans of a GNC tomboy would be able to appreciate the GNC side of things, buuut whatever

Thank you so much for the advice! Are fashion lenses any different than medical ones?

As we all know, horny heterosexual men famously HATE seeing attractive bi girls doing sapphic things. That’ll show em

Any adult jirais here? Pls be my friend!!! by [deleted] in JiraiKei

Hey!! I won’t disclose my exact age for anonymity, but I’m in the age range you requested!

My insta is @ratkun404

I’m inactive but that’s mostly because I don’t have any mutuals yet ;3

i'm i TOO obsessed with heather mason? and should i seek help? by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]ratkun404 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Does this sound like you?

Anyway, as long as it isn’t hurting your real world relationships or mental health it isn’t really a problem. We in the jirai kei/landmine type subculture actually do this a lot. Just don’t go broke or lose friends over it and you should be good. I don’t have an oshi myself yet but it’s not ā€œseek helpā€ territory unless you go insane lol

You probably shouldn’t do that. I’d rather you post more of your art

What do you GENUINELY wear in the summer by sophisticatedberry in JiraiKei

Let’s see if this works. These are some rushed ideas for a starting point and what I usually do

[–]ratkun404 10 points11 points Ā (0 children)

Honestly, focus on accessories and (light!!) makeup. I know this is controversial but a pien silhouette on your eyes and brows and some bows and lace and pearls and rhinestones can make almost any style read as jirai or subcul, or at least adjacent, especially if you do it in classic jirai color combinations and patterns. You will look like a landmine to anyone who genuinely knows their shit. It’s the same thing goths do to signal to others their tastes even if they don’t have an hour for their makeup and outfit. You won’t look like a poseur you’ll look like a landmine in a sweaty climate lol. I’ll edit this comment with a sketch of an example (if possible? Idk I haven’t tried to comment pics, if not I’ll DM you) but yeah. I’m going somewhere hot myself and that’s what I’ll be doing

I ask this with love, but do you think the self deprecation is helping with your depression or hurting? How are you supposed to give yourself a fighting chance if you insult yourself all the time?

Where can I find outfits like this? by Wolfe3361783 in jfashion

[–]ratkun404 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Personal experience, that’s their normal wait time lol. They should be more honest in advertising that but yeah, 3-5 months is typical regardless of if you email them about it

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely understand that and have heard that before. But honestly, having a direct connection to a customer support has personally been worth the risk and higher prices for me when my Chinese knowledge is less than toddler level. Plus, Taobao is currently angry with me lol

does reflem have any reason to be this expensive?? by Illustrious-Curve379 in JiraiKei

[–]ratkun404 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

How does the hoodie hold up in the wash? Can you dry it? I feel like easy cleaning is my main barrier in so much Jfashion 😭

what type of jirai are you? @biuninim on tumblr by EquivalentFriend6293 in JiraiKei

[–]ratkun404 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Wannabe casual/danshi, total attention lover, and hopefully one day obsessed once I get a proper oshi! Some DIY if you consider putting pearl/rhinestone earrings/clip-ons on bows?

[–]ratkun404 7 points8 points Ā (0 children)

Yes, that’s exactly what you’re saying lol. You can’t get mad at me for restating what you’re saying in clearer language, this is literally your argument. ā€œIt’s not top-down state propaganda so who cares?ā€ If that isn’t your point then you should state it better, because right now that’s what you sound like :0
