Translated from Ishida’s tumblr post (X):

How should I put it

I’ve been drawing all kinds of illustrations recently, from work I’m doing now to non-work related stuff. And among them there are some I want to upload, but I keep thinking, “but it’s off-topic if I upload this on Twitter”, which has led to start wondering, just what is considered “on-topic”?

Hmm, is Ishida Sui’s account dedicated to just TG? But the art of Connor I posted a few days ago has nothing to do with me…No, it does have something to do with me. Since it’s from a game I played. I mean, if it’s something I drew, it should by all means have something to do with me, right? Then what criteria should I use to determine that? Should it have some kind of connection with the person looking at the illustration? Of course, when I uploaded that art of Connor, I don’t want people to think, “who the hell’s that android dude with the LED ring embedded in his temple?”, just “Hey, it’s Connor”…wait, do I really want people to think that? I wish people wouldn’t think about it so much…So that means having a connection with the person looking at it has nothing to do with me.

How should I put this, if I upload an illustration for a specific reason…no, when I make a remark that’s all that can be said, even if there weren’t any intention behind it, it feels like people imagine some kind of intention anyways. I uploaded it because I drew it, nothing more to it. I may not have any clear intentions behind it, someone else may feel kind of intention from it, but I don’t want there to be any intentions behind it. Can something exist with zero intentions? I just did it out of a wish to upload it. Or is there no difference between intentions and wishes?

I’m going to keep thinking about it, so for now it’ll be difficult for me to upload illustrations on social media. The reason why I began thinking all this in the first place might be because even though there are tons of places to upload art, none of it currently matches my needs. A place where I can post art with ease, and have it be easy to view would be nice. Tumblr is harder to use than you’d expect. And it’d be a pain to make a new account. I guess blogs are going to be the next generation. Personal sites are good too, they feel very nostalgic. They give off an underground vibe…I think I’ll definitely make a hidden link. Then post a manga about links jumping underground. And the main character’s face will look like a penis…wait, the data for that is already…

Looks like I went off-topic. But really, this is technically on-topic anyways cause it’s about me, right? Below are illustrations I drew that have absolutely nothing to do with anyone. (they’re just related to table RPGs.)
