I bought myelf a 1-month subscription just so that I could change my name. 8D;
It's not that I dislike mudkipblader, it's just that I grew out of it. I'm using the same name now I've been using on tumblr for a while, the same name I've been using elsewhere on the internet.
But, hyphened, since there are already people who're using the full word "Kotowari" as their name.Both inactive accounts on tumblr and dA.
I think most people know "Kotowari" in the meaning of "refusal" (断り), but the meaning I'm using for my name is "meaning, truth, justice" (理り).
Separately, Koto and Wari can mean a whole lot of things. Koto is usually used for "word" (言) or "thing" (こと), or the instrument. Wari is the infinitive form of "waru" (割る), meaning "to cut, break, divide". And in a way I think that works out quite well.I like swordsmen, yes.
In all seriousness though, I just like the word "kotowari". The sound, the meaning, everything. :'D

Inactivity and where to find me
Hello Everyone
You might have noticed that I haven't been as active on dA anymore as I once used to be.
The declining activity (feedback, and general conversations) on my page, and (related to that) the activity of my main fandom being on other social networks, have sort of made me leave dA for what it is.
I still visit daily to check if something interesting happened or moderate the groups a bit, but I can't really bring up the energy anymore to fully commit to dA.
So therefore, I'm just going to add that if you need me, you can always reach me on dA.
But otherwise you can also find me (and my art on)

DeviantArtist Questionnaire
How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Apparently for 8 years.
What does your username mean?
It comes from the Japanese word "Kotowari", which means "principle, reason, justice,..." When I heard the word first in a title of an OST song, I liked it for the sound, and later for the meaning. I'd grown tired from using "Mudkipblader" and was happy to switch to a new name. As "Kotowari" was already taken, I had to settle for a different spelling using the "-". I still like the original meaning of "Kotowari", but I like the plays of words/meanings that I found hidden in the word as well.
Describe yourself in three words.

Please Don't Post/Reblog DGM 219 raws!

Hoshino's post is here: http://www.pikore.com/m/1029425376147406653_1503160638
Edit: Okay, so this might be asking for too much, but it'd be really rad if y'all could help us with spreading awareness about Hoshino's message. Some of us DGM fans are trying to keep raws from Chapter 219 from being shared and reposted here on deviantART, but it's hard when the knowledge about Hoshino's message isn't spreading fast enough.
So if possible, could y'all help us out? Just uploading a journal or a poll is fine, or even private messaging your friends. We're really trying to keep the damage to a minimum here as much as poss
Character Interview - Ylia
Tagged by Mojomito (https://www.deviantart.com/mojomito). I'm doing Ylia because I think that's what you tagged me for, is it not, Mojo?
1. Pick one of your OCs.
2. Fill in the question/statements as if you were that OC.
3. Tag four people to do this meme!
Questions:
1. What is your name?
► Nice to make your acquaintance. My first name would be Ylia. I'm afraid I will not be able to give you my last name, as my creator still hasn't got the faintest idea on what it would be.
2. Do you know why you are named that?
►My creator has always like the name and how it is written. She has been using it as her.... what did she call it again? Role play persona? Whatever
