2 Year Appreciation

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

Today is the day I turn 2 on here and that's pretty old considering the community was created about a week before I ed. I originally wanted to post two blogs like I did last year with one being appreciation and the other being more of an important actual blog. Unfortunately, with my procrastination habits and the fact I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I have a graduation party to go to later today, I couldn't really work on the other blog. Maybe I'll post it on my birthday, maybe.

Anyways, today I'm going to take the time to appreciate some s by talking about why they're a cool person you should check out and giving some of them profile pictures. These people don't have to use the edits obviously, but they're only for the person I specify it's for. Let's get started.

Hiroka Nagaoka

No offense to anyone, but Hiroka’s easily my best friend on Amino and maybe even best friend in general. She’s a person I’ve met on here and gotten the chance to meet in real life multiple times. I’ve been to several cons with her, and each one of them were great because we just got to hang out in cosplay. She’s just a super sweet person and one of the kindest people I’ve met without coming off as disingenuous.

You’ve also probably seen her outstanding art on here, and unfortunately, she only posts every now again, mainly on or around birthdays. Seriously, I don’t really know how she does it, her art is just perfect. She has a semi-realistic goth-ish style and the markers she uses helps make the coloring really solid. Her cosplay is also amazing, and if I saw correctly, she recently made an awesome Kiibo cosplay. Hiroka knows what she’s doing when it comes to cosplay, and I can tell by just how good they are and how disappointed she gets when she sees me with a tangled wig attempting to put it on.

XilverXoul

Oof, I don’t think this pfp looks as good as the rest, so if Xilver is looking at this, if you want a better one, just tell me.

Aside from Hiroka, Xilver is, again, one of the nicest and most understanding people I’ve met. He gives wonderful advice and is a great motivator. Xilver was one of the first ever people I’ve met on this Amino along we Hiroka and we three have managed to keep our friendship for, well, about two years now. He was the one to bring Hiroka and I aside in a group chat to talk more since the welcoming chat we were in got a little… memey.

Xilver is also very mature and he knows how to handle a lot of situations pretty well. Unfortunately, he’s not as active as he used to be when I first met him because of his work, but it’s still nice to talk to him when he gets online.

Cuma

Moving out of my initial friend triangle, Cuma was one of the first people I met on here that I still know today. I did have another pretty large friend group back when the DR3 anime was coming out, but almost none of them are active anymore and they probably all deleted Amino by now. However, around that time I met Cuma individually, and I just talking about what was going to happen next in DR3, how Juzo was a good gay boy and DR3 Kirigiri bullshit. After that, a couple days after v3 was released in Japan we proceeded to discuss that instead because we both rolled around in the spoiler filth at the time.

I’ve talked about this dude a lot back on his birthday, and I don’t have much more to say that wasn’t already talked about then. Cuma’s a really smart, creative guy and he’s just fun to have a conversation is.

Alex

I’ve known Alex before we were on the mod team together albeit not too well. At the time, I knew he was a blogger and he had some strong opinions but outside of that, he just looked like a cool person. After talking to him (and I’m literally talking to him in a vc as I’m typing this), I’ve learned that indeed, he is a pretty cool person. I think Alex changed a lot between previous interactions. For one, he grew about a foot and he’s less of a short angry child than he is a slightly less angry, overprotective average-height child.

In of stuff you can do on here, Alex is honestly kind of perfect. He’s a speedy, well-articulated writer, he’s a great editor and he knows a lot about drawing and is a pretty good artist. In of being a , he also does his job amazingly. Back when he first became a curator, he was doing, like, 300-400 mod actions, it was nuts. Alex is also great at managing a tough situation whether it’s mod related or not.

Chi

Out of most of the people on here, Chi is one of the people I know the least, but they’re just a very sweet person. While they say they don’t have a good sense of humor, I think she’s pretty funny (although last night did consist of saying “Dame Tu Cosita” over and over again). Luckily, they’re one of the people on here who still kind of like Danganronpa and they still heavily appreciate their favorite character.

Honestly, there’s not a whole lot to say about Chi aside from the fact that they’re super nice and I love talking with them.

Yumi

I hope Yumi sees the little present I left in her profile picture since she’s unfortunately not the biggest fan of Danganronpa anymore. Anyways, despite no longer being on the moderation team, Yumi is still on here and chats every now and again. She’s probably one of the funniest people I’ve met on here, and whenever she’s in a vc, everything just kind of glows up. I’m not sure if I can say a lot of the stuff she jokes about and what we joke about her, but regardless, it’s a fun time.

Back when she was the agent leader she did a great job at keeping this place from completely becoming hell. She started losing activity when school was getting really rough, but she stuck with it until she officially decided to stop, and I think that's a good quality for someone.

Shou

Somebody sends Shou shit since sometimes Shou sucks.

To be fair, Shou does get a lot of shit in general from, and he's sort of like that one friend everyone picks on because they're an easy target. Sometimes he's a little cringey and argumentative, but overall he's a fun guy. While he hasn't made as many blogs as much as he used to, he's a great writer whether it be analysis or character writing. He’s very ionate about storytelling and OCs, and I’d say he’s pretty great at his ions. Sometimes I go to him to talk about that kind of stuff because I like to write stuff outside of DR. He’s a pretty alright dude that gets a liiiiiiiiiittle bit more shit than he deserves.

Buki

Special hidden fun gift in Buki’s profile picture too. I needed to keep this post Danganronpa related, so all the pfps are mainly Danganronpa related. Regardless, Buki is just another person that’s amazing to talk to. She’s probably one of the people I can have a good conversation with alone in a vc, and while we go deep into the rabbit hole more times than once, it’s a fun time. As a lot of you probably know, Buki is a pretty freakin good editor that manages to take a lot of assets and make it so it’s not cluttered. It’s pretty great to see how far she’s come from when she first started, and it’s also a little funny to see how kind of bad her old edits are compared to her newer ones (Buki, please don’t kill me, don’t bring the Leon back).

Arya

I know I’ve said this about a lot of other people, but Arya is honestly just a really sweet person and she’s a really nice person. I don’t think she has a lot of self-confidence but for what she has to put up with (in of both the community and her friends), I think she’s doing a pretty good job. Arya has to do a lot in order to make sure the community doesn't spontaneously combust, and while she’s recently busy with exams and now vacation, she still manages to weave in some time on DRA. Despite her stating that her editing skills are garbage, I think that she makes very simple but very pleasing edits. All the new edits for the sidebar icons and the sidebar background are by her and they’re beautiful (also it’s nice to have some change for once).

I hope Arya feels a little bit better if she reads this, she’s a sweet and kind of relatable person that does what she can.

Locust

Good old Locust, you know, the responsible one. I don’t know what the mod team would do without Locust to be honest. He just helps keep everything together especially when Arya is busy if he’s not busy himself. While I don’t think I’ve known known Locust for awhile, I do recall seeing him around a lot before he even became a curator. He was an outstanding writer and an inspiration for me at the time, and even now he has some pretty inventive ideas. Locust is just a really straightforward dude who knows what he’s doing. Although, outside of moderation work, Locust is another person who’s a fun time in voice calls. The man’s vaporwave editing style is also very pleasing to look at, and he’s a pretty talented cameraman.

Toaster/StarLord/StarMunch

I definitely did not forget that Toaster existed, nope not at all. Nope.

I’ve worked with Toaster for a lot of things whether it be the second round of Tag Team Debates or Daily Despair, but regardless, the private messages with Toaster “Gay for Chris Pratt” Starlord are where it’s at. He’s a good time even if majority of that time now is dedicated to worshipping Chris Pratt in Daily Despair. Although majority of the time I spend with him is just goofing around, I can tell how hard of a worker he is just from his conversations about school. Overall, I’m just really glad that we’re getting Prayer! at the Disco back together.

People I Still Love

┗━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

I don’t have a whole lot of time left, and I have to wake up at about 5:30 tomorrow, so I’ll just mention some other people here very quickly.

Ko

Ko’s a cool dude and another person in a friend group that gets a lot of shit. He may be edgy, but he’s pretty a pretty funny guy. I believe his most iconic line is “PPPPPPPPPPDDDDDFFFFFFBBB” for every time he blows in the microphone.

Tea

Tea is a really good artist and their art style is super cute. I might not be making a profile picture now, but their birthday is coming up so maybe I’ll do something for them then. I don’t know them too well comparatively, but they seem pretty cool.

Wonder Tweek

I’ve loved Wonder’s writing for a very long time whether it be fanfiction or blogging. They’re a present day inspiration for me, and they’re a pretty nice person.

Jam Jelly

This is another person who’s kind of an inspiration. They’re an outstanding artist and they’re edits are just sooooooooooo satisfyingly good. I’ve never really talked to them though.

Sae

Anyone that knows Sae knows how nice and trustworthy she is. She’s just a beautiful human being despite also falling victim to putting herself down.

Conclusion

┗━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Uhhh I love a lot of people, and even if I didn’t talk about you here and I know you, you’re probably a cool person. I can’t exactly talk about every single person I’ve ever met especially considering a good chunk of them are inactive. Anyways, I guess this post will also be a notice that I won’t be online as much as I normally am for the next week because vacation. I’ll still be on though, just not 24/7 like I normally am.

I believe that is all, have a nice day!
