I honestly appreciate any fanwork you guys make of my charas/series/whatevs. It might be the craziest crackship (*ahemnuzgrumps*) but I will still love it because you took your time to make something for me.

As most of you can tell, I will reblog and like most fanwork (nsfw is a toss-up). And it’s okay to not like a thing, canon or not. I am generally cool with it.

So create away and thank you! :>

I just realized that I have several med school applicants and possibly students(?) who are following this blog.

To those peeps: Good luck with your apps, and do feel free to ask questions! I very much prefer them non-anon though and I will try to answer them asap.

Honestly though I don’t post that many med school related things here but I am more than open to talk about that application process and if you are applying as an MD/PhD, definitely ask about that too.

I’d rather not tell you which med school I go to specifically but through private asks I can.

More explanation under cut if you are interested

Also, please mark your blog as safe for work (uncheck the NSFW option) and allow search engines to index your blog under the Directory option of the “Blog Settings” page (check the option). Otherwise I can’t see the post even if you tag 

I check various fandom tags as well on occasion but I don’t track them.

To get the post you want me to see, make my tag “kynimdraws” the first tag.

Only the first 5 tags in a NEW tumblr post gets shown under the tracked tag. This means if you put my tag as the 6th tag or later, it will not show up. Or you can simply send me an ask/submit on a post that I should see!

Thank you so much!

No.

Kynim = Ky nim = Ky 님

님 = general honorific in korean

Ky = initials

FYI, I prefer to be addressed Kylee…mostly because that name is a combination of my last name and my real name initials. Lee’s my last name.

The following response probably something I did not have to do but I wanted to re-reblog with more refined response to this confession. I doubt the people who already disliked me and saw just the confession will change their mind over my thoughts but might as well throw it out in case. 

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT saying the person who wrote this is WRONG. Just surprised because I have a bias and don’t always see how another person interprets my actions on the internet. Please DO NOT harrass the OP for this confession.

When I post art, I always expect crit. Even though I don’t formally request it, I do assume some people to come by and evaluate my stuff because they feel like they can communicate with an artist with something helpful. And even though I get a ton of comments daily and might not reply to all of them, I do try to at least read through most. Save for the occasional friendly banter reply, I will reply to dA comments that ask me questions, have crits, or have some logical fallacy that I feel the urge to point out.  

Now about those crit replies…after thinking over/talking with the OP I realize not all of my replies to crit comment sound NICE; most, to me, seem fairly neutral. And not-so nice reply to a crit =/= I WILL REJECT YOUR OPINIONS. Most of the time my “not nice” crit responses were seen as such because I said the following phrases to the crit commenter:

• “I will think about it.”
• “I cannot promise if I can change it but…”
• “Okay :U”

As much as I want to be unemotional and detached/logical online when replying to such things, I am human. I do get SOME emotional response over some of the feedback I get (especially those that initally sound unfair); I do have SOME ego and sometimes the negative crits do rile me up. But I try to sound as nice as I can because I assume the crit person’s intentions are not to HURT me but to HELP. And after my initial upset goes away, I DO take the crit into heart.

Of course, as one person who reblogged me said “An artist has every right to say they disagree with a critique if they think it’s unfair or simply not right for them.” I sometimes find the expectations a critque-er has might not be what I want and I selectively take whatever I can from feedback.

Also I want to point out that giving crit and accepting crit does not lead to instant improvement. One notable example are my nuzlocke comics. Even though my Diamond run was a bunch of shit scribbles cobbled as a comedydrama comic, I did try to improve things within the limited art resources I had for the series. At first people got annoyed by the constant small-text I had made in the comics and by god I tried my best on TE to make them readable. There were some art complaints too, some of which I did fix but by and large, it was a casual project and I didn’t put the effort that I did in my White Run. In White, I dearly want you guys to compare the first comics in that series with my latest. Even though the effort I put in this project is that as much as that of a professional comic artist, YOU CAN SEE THE IMPROVEMENT. This took time and effort for me to realize. When people notice this change I feel accomplished.

Now, do you know where that improvement came from? Partially self-motivation and partially from CRITIQUES I DID GET IN ALL MY PRIOR ARTWORKS. Just because I might not have replied to a crit comment or replied not-so-nicely does not mean I ignored them. I realize some artist do ignore such feedback but I have, for the most part, have not.

Of course it is far more professional to take crits “well” or “nicely” but I am an artist who doesn’t always do but will ULTIMATELY appreciate every feedback I do get. I hope everyone who follows my things via tumblr and dA (I think there is some overlap) understand this. 

Thank you.

…I do mean it when I say thank you, OP. I might have been blind to my own actions and these kinds of reality checks are important.

Here are the kinds of posts I will delete from this blog:

• Personal things that I don’t necessarily want around too long
• Ask/question game replies that were fun but still clutter the blog
• Petty things that annoy/embarrass me moments after I post them
• Time-sensitive posts that become irrelevant
• Old art posts that I no longer want because they are bad
• Reblogs of links/videos/etc that are broken and no longer useable
• Reply/reblog posts that become irrelevant after the intended recipient has gotten the message (I really really hate having long convo/reply text posts)

TL;DR I am a bit ocd and want my blog to have specific things. I don’t consider this blog very personal and would like it to look a certain way.
