► Yesterday, I got the good ending in Mystic Messenger’s April Fool’s Event. ( spoilers )
► I’ve started poking around in the Mystic Messenger fandom, and… it feels very young? Some of it is in ways that are very nostalgia-inducing (people giggling about something being their first fic, or their first try at smut, or other cute-but-naive-sounding comments in the summaries), but others are very...alien to me. ( brief digression/criticism )
The abundance of “baby’s first fic” or “baby’s first fandom” syndrome does mean that the overall fic quality… does leave something to be desired;;; I have found some pieces that I unabashedly like, but overall, most things that I’ve enjoyed, I’ve enjoyed with caveats. On the bright side, this does make me more confident about anything I may contribute to the fandom in the future? ^^;;;;
The fanart, on the other hand, is really great! I’ve actually been poking around on tumblr a bit because of it— mostly just looking up fanart. Here’s some of my favorite pieces:
- comic of the first first Seven phone call in the prologue— probably my favorite thing from this whole batch
- comic of another Seven phone call (from Jaehee’s route, I think)
- Seven tickling the MC
- comic of Seven teaching Yoosung Arabic...in a very Seven-esque way;;;
- various moments from Seven’s route, days 7-8
- mini-comics with MC/all the LIs
- mini-Seven/MC comic, vague spoilers for his route
- Zen & a crossdressing Seven on Tinder
- Seven + constellations portrait
- Seven & a kitty <3
► I haven’t been keeping up very well with sharing fic links for the things I’ve written “since my last post”— mainly because all of my last few posts since I last wrote something have been a Mystic Messenger emotions train, and I didn’t want to distract from that.
