Get the Compliment fishing mug.A term that is used when a random deviant (or SheezyArt user) stumbles on a another userpage and waits for the number of unique pageviews to reach the target number in order to get a free drawing from the person as a gift. In order to achieve it, the user must quickly screenscap the exact number of unique pageviews and send the deviant (or SheezyArt user) who set the kiriban value a note to prove it or else no reward.
I'm gonna go kiriban fishing today to find if I'm the 1,337th visitor to SockArmy's userpage.
Whoever goes kiriban fishing and becomes the 100th watcher, gets a free gifty from me.

Get the fith syndrome mug.Fishie is a person who's always very timid, and taciturn, will rarely talk to you, but once you get to know them, Oh boi, they're the best. That's the thing about introverts, you'll need years (or specifically 2 years, from 2018-2019) to make them to talk to you, and when they do, they're a treat to the eyes. Fishies make your heart happy, make you laugh so much, and fight with you a lot ahaha but they're the most trustworthy people ever, and you can tell them anything, you can pour your heart out, and they will listen to you wholeheartedly and always be there to give you a shoulder. and when you'll cry they will sit beside you and comfort you. They're very emotional, and cant tell the difference between the colour gray and pink, but they're so precious. Take good care of them, so they last for an eternity. And you'll always, always want to hold their hand too. And well, If you can hold your Fishie's hand you're lucky, don't let him go.

Loser: Why didn't you wish me happy birthday yesterday? I wrote on your wall last week on your birthday.
