Hikago Day!

[troisroyaumes]

It's May 5, which means it's Hikago Day!

Five things to do today:

1. Check out the fics at blind_go: Round 17 Fic Directory

2. Hang out in our community chat room.

3. Sign up for not_primetime or sportsanime (Hikago is eligible for both).

4. Post in the #hikagoday hashtag on Twitter or #hikagoday tag on Tumblr. (As of now, no one has actually used either tag yet, but hey, we could make it happen, right?!)

5. Play the "Let's Five" meme on this post:

• Comment on this post with a list topic relating to Hikaru no Go, e.g. "Five things Hikaru hides in his underwear drawer", "Five favorite crack fics", "Five people Ochi actually likes", etc.
  
• Reply to a topic with a list of five!

annnnnnnnnd my last batch of 5 haha

1. ????: uh well i couldn't refind the original page for this one again by i know it's by this artist, and it's possibly it's actually older than 2014 haha but I SAVED IT IN 2014 so we'll still count it, my file name for it is "intense go stuff" haha

2. 5/5/2014 (last year's hikago day!): this person has several other pics like this iirc, really detailed near-photorealistic backgrounds. this one with hikaru and sai was my favorite

3. also 5/5/2014: hikaru/akira kiss also by that artist who has many of these good charcoal-y sketches (same as above crying shindou)

4. DAMMIT I HECKED UP, haha i went thru my saved pics folder picking out things by when i saved them figuring they'd probably be made that year, but this one is actually made in 20121. OH WELL. POSTING IT ANYWAY. i really love this art style, it's so damn cute and colorful. hikaru, akira, sai

5. shhhhh don't tell anyone that i cheated on 2 or 3 of these. XD WHATEVER. cute one of hikaru and akari, for a change

also while I did have a fair amt more arts I saved in 2014 I didn't have quite THAT many haha. also I am sick of typing. XD but if anyone wanted me to I could upload a zip of all my 2014 saves or something, I always put the artist info in the filename if I have it so u could use that and/or saucenao to hunt them down online if u want

this is great! thank you so much for the list. I remember trying to keep up with the art on pixiv but all that Japanese is breaking my brain a bit (ughh, what happened to the 2 semesters of Japanese that I took in college. all gone!)

THERE IS EVEN MORE WHERE THIS CAME FROM, i was trying 2 narrow down all my 2014 saves to my top 5 but i only managed to narrow it to top 15 (and then some of them ended up being cheaters haha whoops)

altho i've self-studied japanese a tiny bit on my own i can't read much of it generally either, but i don't find pixiv too hard... i just keep the tags for my fandoms bookmarked and that way every now and then i can go and look thru whatever was posted for it recently. :)
