Hey guys, sorry for being inactive for so long. I've been kinda paranoid to return here bc of the takedown a couple months back, plus I've been bouncing around different sites such as Bluesky and Reddit to post my art. However I think I'm ready to make this one of my primary go-to's again. Once more I dearly apologize for the wait.

There's gonna be a huge glut of artwork I made since I left coming onto here soon. Some will be In Stars and Time related, others will have to do with my OCs. Another one will be some sort of Halloween artwork published on that day. Stay tuned <3

So that was the dumbest fuckin thing ever lmfao...

Glad that the site is back up regardless. I got a couple artworks here that I will be publishing here over this week, some of which already on other sites due to the hacking over here.

Please also lend your support towards the fundraiser for Dragoneer's family and the website, they are very close to the goal but they still need all the help they can get.

Yes I know I'm dead lol. I figured that my birthday is soon (May 26th) so I figured I'd share my eShop wishlist publicly, in case anyone wants to send me photos of gift cards for me to use and such.

As a contingency plan for in case my FA gets blown up by The Obvious Happenings Of Recent, I'm also on here now

https://cohost.org/gemidori

I probably won't use it much even after I get an invite key unless this account gets sniped

Hi there, it's been a while but now I can consider myself somewhat back here.

I recently got a new phone, and with it a drawing app that allows me to at least draw like I used to back on my computer (rip). But it has its limits so don't expect any huge pictures or even any rapid-fire activity.

To anyone still here, thank you for being patient. I will try to repay you with what I can make.

As the title suggests, I am leaving this account permanently. A close friend of mine disabled lately, though I'm not leaving because they were; I have a few reasons as to why.

Firstly I just have way too much on my plate to even be here anymore. I only really check up on my inbox every two weeks. There's a lot of other stuff I'm doing online, such as role-playing on Twitter, writing up documents for projects, and a lot more I don't really feel like mentioning.

Secondly, FA is pretty silent; which I'd consider a good thing, no drama or anything. But the fact is that I gain minimal traction on my works because so few people are active, it's like a ghost town. I'd rather work in more active areas, simple as that.

Thirdly, laptop's still fucked so I can't draw here. Self-explanatory; I'm not here just simply because I can't do anything.

If you want to stay in contact with me, I'll be on Discord. Add me on bowser in a golfing outfit#0719 . I'm there a lot more often than there, lol.

Thanks for supporting this account and enjoying my works. I don't know if I'm ever going to come back; I find it highly unlikely. I only hope that I left some form of impact here, to even just one person. If I did as little as that, then I consider this a success.

Peace.

I'm going to keep this short.

My laptop is dead. Its hard drive overfilled, or something.

This means no more art, probably for a long time. Probably won't get to update my toyhou.se nor AO3 account either, since they are unmanageable in mobile.

I'm sorry.

https://toyhou.se/Gemidori

I am updating the characters I have on there. As for the FA profiles, that will come later.

I apologize for the repeated malicious journals and account disables. I am still incredibly wracked with grief and despair over shit that happened two months ago.

I am going to go under another hiatus (this account will remain on), though I have two things left to do here; an edit and a submission.

This will be my final vent.

I hate being here. Discord, here and honestly, Twitter. For those who don't know, I've been RPing on Twitter lately. Since two months ago, when I've lost everything else in my life, it's been my one comfort.

So now Twitter's been shitting all over it simply because I've been trying to follow accs that I've been following on others. They've even locked one of them. And I fear that if I keep going then I'll just be banned like nothing, and I'll be stuck with this fucking filth.

I am so furious with not just this but the fact that the one thing left I have, the only means of coping I have left is at risk of being taken away. I am beyond fucking livid.

I've grown to hate everything else in my life. I hate waking up to this shit. I hate whining and bitching to people who don't care. I hate caring for people I can't help and I hate the fact that I'm never going to make amends with the most important person in my life ever the fuck again. It's come to a point where I've contemplated suicide multiple times over the past few weeks, I've grown to resent everything and everyone in my life that badly.

I am disabling all means of contact until further notice. So this and my Discords are going down. I frankly don't give a fuck what you think; I'm nothing but a whiny waste of space and you'll learn that as you live without me. I will not be on the internet because I'm frankly fucking sick of it and everyone in it.

Being mistreated like garbage, hearing about all this Trump and Biden bullshit that I don't care about, all the dumbass fucks who can't be bothered to just wear a mask to maybe help this shithole of a country a little bit. The painfully cartoonish belief that all cops are shit, when in reality ONLY SOME are, mostly including the people who run the system and willing to hire stupid shitfucks who just want to find an excuse to kill.

I'm sick of all of it. It makes me just want to go out and kill something even if it's just myself. And when I'm not hearing that, any time I create something I feel like it's either painfully shit, or I'm pandering to fucking six year olds and I have to basically do storytime for them to explain obvious shit that I've put front and center. I. Don't. Want it.

Ignore this because this account is going down real soon. I'll bring it up again when I start giving a shit, because right now there is nothing left for me. I'm not the same person I was and I don't plan on going back. I'm nothing but an asshole and at this point, I'm done pretending I'm not.

Fuck you, I'm leaving.

Leaving again.

Fuck you and go fawn over someone else who's ""talented"" and ""awesome"".

I hate you.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....0XLsHl7nS4Rd14

Just. Yeah. Not much to say aside from I wanted to flesh it out a little, since there were a few things that felt rushed or just not conveyed right.

I'm not going to be here for a long time.

Thank you.

Simply said, I said I would delete it in that thing's description. I have been dreading it overshadowing my other arts and stuff, plus I don't want to have jackasses reupload the shit.

If you still want my Bowser shimeji: http://www.mediafire.com/file/63ehe.....owser.zip/file

And if you still want to see my Spider-Man and Batman fanverses: https://drive.google.com/folderview.....NzmynTGvNT83kX
https://drive.google.com/folderview.....V0cuOVHpuDI-Oi

Everything else, fuck those. As far as I am concerned, you will never get to see any of that cringeworthy, absolute wastes of time and effort ever again. I might reupload one or two of them for the sake of character reference, but all the rest will burn especially all that FNaF garbage. I can't believe how much time I wasted on that shit.

This is effective immediately so hope that you downloaded it while you could. Reupload any of that old trite shit and you're getting reported for art theft.

This was totally not inspired by a friend of mine. Honest. I swear to God.

- Super Mario Odyssey was by far the best 3D Mario in the last 10 years
- FNaF completely neutered horror games, the developer cannot write for shit and the series has never been good, nor will it EVER be good
- Undertale was great for its time, but it's kinda clunky and brings up a few terrible memories anyway
- Both of the above are dead
- Raimi Spider-Man films >>>> Any other Spider-Man film
- Mario RPGs are completely dead to me ever since AlphaDream went down
- The Origami King is the most worthless announcement Nintendo has made in a LONG time
- SSB would be a lot more fun if the developers didn't flatout fucking refuse to have their roster stay true to character
- Kit-Kats > literally any other candy in the world
- Infinity War is the best MCU film
- Joker is the best solo CBM in a long time
- Bowser needs a solo game
- Bowser's Inside Story is not a Bowser solo game
- The best Mortal Kombat games are the first three, plus Trilogy
- MK9-X-11 are very good games, albeit flawed and bearing rather silly plotlines
- Venom was one of the best films of 2018

Might throw in more later.

"Bring the fuel to stack the fire! Pile the bodies ever higher!"
Firstly, I should point out that seeing news of a global pandemic and massive state wide riots while I'm sitting down eating Domino's pizza is the best experience I will ever have.

So chances are that you have been made aware of an incident that happened only a few scant days ago (May 25th to be exact) - it was the murder of a Minneapolis civilian named George Floyd.

For those who don't know the story, from what I've seen: Floyd was a victim of broadcast police brutality, and was murdered by a cop named Derek Chauvin. Floyd was killed from Chauvin asphyxiating him via crushing his throat with his knee for several minutes, despite George saying "I can't breathe" almost a dozen times. Floyd was reported to stop moving by the time of his actual 'arrest' and by that point he was declared dead. This happened because Floyd apparently tried using a credit card that a grocery store employee saw as counterfeit. And...apparently that's a death sentence?

I said numerous times in the past that I believe there's still some good cops around. If every single police precinct were jampacked with douchebags and nothing more, it wouldn't last a day. However, it's very apparent yhat corrupt cops are becoming more and more frequently hired - for reasons I don't honestly know - and it's definitely taking its toll now.

Protesters rose up against Minneapolis police pretty quickly - starting off peaceful, though allegedly (I have yet to find a definite source for this) the police had acted offensively which is what led to the protests becoming massive riots. People are burning down stores and buildings as I type, some up to including a Target, a Wendy's and a McDonald's.

Now here are my thoughts - while I believe that the police deserve a lot of the blame here, the riots too are becoming even more of a danger. I totally understand that it's hard to stay peaceful if the other side is aggressive and shit, but this is almost worse. And that's my main stance on this: I can't pick which one is truly bad when they are both killing people. So many people are dying - do people think this is what George would've wanted? A guy who his loved ones call a gentle giant? Where the hell are the speakers? Why just become alike your enemy?

Now, I am going to say this right now. I am not insulting George Floyd's honor by just saying the riots in his name are getting out of hand. Fuck no.
I not only support black people's rights, but ALL people's rights. And it's absolutely tragic that a kind man like him had to go, and on such a terrible, brutal note too. By a person who was supposed to serve and protect.

But please. Please. I'm fucking begging you dudes. Don't target innocents like these assholes are, just keep your ire with those who perpetrated it and those like them. You are threatening innocent people too.

Maybe this just might be me, but perhaps people are snapping now? Like they were protesting against racist shit like this and this happened to drive them off the ledge. While it's awesome that something more is being done, and that so many things are being brought to light over this...I am hardly comfortable with the riots.

And then to make it even more chaotic, our.
..well, "president" Trump has given the okay to soldiers to kill protesters and rioters alike. Like...Jesus, what?!!
I do not believe I've ever seen a president of a country opt to kill his own fucking civilians, but...WOW dude, way to make it worse.

As of right now Chauvin has been arrested for third degree murder and manslaughter (which is stupid because it was clearly first degree murder but hey whatever). I do not know how long he is sentenced for - hopefully to life - and nor do I know if the other three cops who just sat around and let this happen were arrested. However, they were all fired (remember what I said about good cops?) at least, but I don't think that is enough. Prison time should be right for them, as they by some degree let this horrible mess become what it is. I can bang on about how fucked up the riots are, but they wouldn't have happened if not for these four jackasses.

I hope and pray for the people of Minneapolis - please stay safe and spread the word of this, as it's the only way to honor George's memory and do it peacefully. Stay clear of police and rioters!!! I cannot stress this enough! You will get hurt if you're near either group!

If there is one thing I can say about this is that it could change the issue of racism for the better. Maybe this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back and basically scare racists into even just stopping discriminating black/poc people. But it still wouldn't justify the losses of life that's growing to this day. It really wouldn't and it shouldn't.

Though frankly I will also say that 2020 is better than 2019 for one reason only. It's gloriously morbid chaos that I can't really stop watching.

As a small update I have been presented with evidence leaning toward the police being the first aggressor, in video and text form.

A million thanks to my partner for showing me these.

You know, it would be very nice if the uploading system on FA didn't shit all over my images and compress them into a worthless .jpg and rendering them uneditable.

Like thanks. Thank you. That fucking means a lot.

So Nintendo wasted the effort in shitting out a trailer for a Paper Mario game - or rather "Paper Mario" game, named Paper Mario: The Origami King.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FX6DTLcWUdY

And it looks like shit.

I'm going to say one thing here, just once.

I have given this fucking subseries three attempts, for eight years at this point. To have gameplay that's sensible. A story that is interesting. Something that does not mimic but just at least tries to be as unique as the first three Paper Mario games.

And every single time, they fucked it. Every single time.

Now before anyone thinks I'm one of the shallow shits who say that "the series must copy TTYD again and again forever", no. I would never say that. The thing with Paper Mario is that it was unique for a Mario series. Even 64 had a simple but lovable story that had a lot of original content in it, and then TTYD and SPM amplified those, yes, but they weren't carbon copies of each other or even 64. Each game was less a sequel and more their own thing, telling their own stories. To me they may not have the best writing in the world, but again - they were creative at least, and that's what made you care apart from very tight RPG or platforming gameplay.

You cannot take a blowtorch to all of that and just replace it with "Mario but paper jokes and a flimsy gimmick that also serves as the entirety of the plot", with a poorly designed consumable battle system and have the villain either be a lifeless one off villain who will never be used again, or Bowser being badly written if not completely destroyed.

It doesn't work for me. If you really wanted to do something like this, make it into its own series. I could totally deal with Nintendo just putting the lid on Paper Mario and replacing it with a totally different Mario RPG. That would've been better. But no, they didn't think of that, and you're just supposed to think that this is the same Paper Mario as before.

I never judge a game by its promo material, at least nowadays, but I can very clearly discern that this game is going to be a piece of shit. I am very sure of it. They didn't try to make it different by any stretch, they have just literally made more of the same shit that no one I know has ever asked for.

And the worst part is, out of all of this, is that not only is The Origami King a complete waste already, but Paper Mario is now the only remaining Mario RPG series ongoing, after AlphaDream had gone bankrupt. Mario & Luigi died for this shit to continue.

The thing is that I had this small spark of hope left. I heard from somewhere that Paper Mario was fucked into what it is now because Mario & Luigi was doing a fine enough job as a RPG series and they wanted to widdle it down to one RPG, which didn't even need to happen anyway considering that both games were RPGs to begin with.
After AlphaDream went down, I was hoping in some small way that, maybe Paper Mario could become relevant again, that it might actually try to be interesting and try to do more things than just NSMB but everyone makes paper puns.

And they didn't.

To the people at Nintendo, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You saw how badly CS bombed - you should have taken this as a hint. This shit doesn't sell, and it doesn't deserve the Paper Mario alias, I say being someone who never gave a major fuck. It's really gotten this bad.

If anyone reading this is interested in this game, by all means go jump at it when it comes. I'm not going to ruin the excitement for anyone, nor do I want to. But this, to me, is absolutely depressing.

I know I said long ago that Mario RPGs were dead in an earlier journal, and now I have to reiterate it; they're still dead. I wouldn't bother.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this will go right beside Sticker Star and Color Splash as some of the worst Mario games in the history of the franchise, in my opinion anyway. There's nothing to any of them, they feel horrendously shallow, it sacrifices anything interesting about the first three games in place for a horrible system, no navigation, no personality across any of the characters, and a bare bones, absolutely unengaging story that might as well be summed up in a singular 12 word sentence.

tl;dr
Fuck this game, and fuck every talentless cunt who's working on it.

Due to a rather grievous end to some personal issues with a former friend of mine of several years, as well as just generally limited internet that's about to get even slower until the 28th, I will be extremely slow in activity for an undefined period of time. I don't know if it's going to be until tomorrow, a week from now, maybe a fortnight* from now. I'm simply extremely unhappy with what and where I am and I am easily irritated doing anything at all, so it's best if I leave.

*Any Fortnite jokes will be removed because you're not fucking funny, read a dictionary.

Hey, lads, I still exist. =3

I'm so sorry that I couldn't get to y'all sooner, I didn't really have a ton of sufficient art ideas for this site, plus things were hectic here. However, this coming night I plan on changing that. >w>

I will be adding more character bios starting tonight, on both here and Toyhou.se.

I will give you only one hint, and it detours back to my latest bio.
He's a Hellblood.
A Hellblood.

Yeah. There's more of him and they're all fucked up too. òwó

Thanks to a guy who will remain anonymous during my occasional deep depth swimming in the internet, I now have a Toyhou.se via invite code.

https://toyhou.se/Gemidori

It's a major work in progress but rest assured, it will not replace FA as my main go-to site. It will probably share the same level of priority though, since I'm loving how the site is so far (despite it being really fucking confusing).

I have to state that I will be inactive for an indefinite period of time. It is because of personal happenings (primarily terrible memories from the past creeping up to haunt me, again) and my own mental health's deterioration that I feel like I must step away from all social media. This includes everything - Twitter, Reddit, this site, Discord and even YouTube. I will only be able to contact just a select few individuals and even then, my responses will be scarce.

I will let you know if things improve. Thank you very much for your patience.
