Fun fact: the word "glomp" came from a hugging sound effect from Viz's English translation of Ranma 1/2. People used it in fanfiction and it spread to non-Ranma works slowly over time to the point where people who've never read Ranma in their lives knew & used the term.

@Danny8bit As someone who grew up with the original & enjoyed it at the time, I VASTLY prefer the new designs because now all the women dont just look like palette swapped copies of each other....

Periodic reminder that you don't have to own a ton of merch, have a huge collection of anime/manga, or have encyclopedic knowledge of Deep Dive Trivia to be a fan of what you love. You're still a "real" fan if you only watch stuff streaming, or check out manga at a library. 💖

This is a HUGE win for preserving 90s fandom history! If you ever wanted to see what fandom online looked like before social media, this is a great window.

So DiscMaster has built-in web file support, and an anime publication(?) named DOKAN would regularly dump entire websites on their CDs in the late 90s... This means we now have a one-of-a-kind treasure trove of complete ~1998 anime fansites.

With the news that TP's Rising Stars of Manga is coming back, I'm just gonna bring back this thread of articles detailing their history of not treating their artists/winners of this competition very well. I know they SAY they've changed, but KNOW YOUR HISTORY, KIDS! Be informed!

🚨REMINDER TO ALL YOUNG COMIC ARTISTS🚨: TOKYOP0P HAS A LONG HISTORY OF STICKING THEIR ARTISTS WITH BAD CONTRACTS THAT GIVE THEM OWNERSHIP OF YOUR WORK & CHARACTERS FOREVER. Please keep this in mind before thinking about working with them!

The thing that sucks the most about Tumblr dying is that was where so many artists I followed fled to after Livejournal got bought out & started making adult/LGBTQA+ content against their TOS. Lesson here is that big corporations ruin artist driven platforms every. time.
