Excuse me while I just-

Asch + Ava (A1) Noi + Ava (F1) Leif + Ava (F2) Pierce + Ava (D2) Rhys + Ava (A2) I spent two days and a lot of hours on this all for the sake of crisp lineart my wrist is killing me but it's so worth it

Idk if making art memes is considered lame now but idc, I rarely find ones I want to do so I made my own lol. I'll be reblogging it to my own art blogs for requests, but feel free to save & use if you wanna!

Decided to mess with Asch's hair and made it more flamey-looking. Yeah, this goes hard. He lowkey looks like a certain alien prince... but very lowkey.

The My Inner Demons hyperfixation continues. This time, with some of the humans, including Ava herself! I probably won't do all of them (after all, small little one-liner characters that are not integral to storytelling probably wouldn't get a design), but I at least plan later on for Lorelai's friend group and develop more on them, as well as Marlene and Mrs. Oats. I'm going back and forth in between the Daemos and Earth casts as I go. (Also please, if fellow fans have any ideas of character development for Jake, please share. He's just an awkward man that crushes on Ava and not much else is told about him otherwise, but I like what little character he has going on in the series.😭)

Oops! Got a major hyperfixation! It's time for some My Inner Demons character designs! I intend to draw these hunks much more often, so I made references based off of official art and models for them (also, so I don't have to keep frickin' digging for art to have references lmao). I've also put the five together 'cause I'd think it's useful to show the height differences. I'm considering even getting the human designs from the series and drawing my interpretations, too. ᵃˡˢᵒ ᴸᵉᶦᶠ'ˢ ᵈᵃᵍᵍᵉʳˢ ᵃʳᵉ ˢᵒ ʰᵃʳᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵈʳᵃʷ ˢᵉⁿᵈ ʰᵉˡᵖ⁻

Forgot to put this on my other two posts, but slight loud sound warning! My own birthday present to my followers and mutuals is animating these two sillies. :) And as I credited in the animatic, the sound is clipped from this.

Hikari MID Rambles #1

I've been thinking random thoughts about MID, some additions/reinterpretations that can just be put into one post. This is also gonna help me with a rewrite I'd be planning because I am dedicated asf LMAO. So, feedback and additional thoughts are welcome! Daemos Society: The many times I've rewatched MID and how much we get within the castle is a great start, but other than where the last human soul was held and some smaller flashbacks with Daemos, we don't exactly have much on the outside of the castle. Discussing it with some other friends that have watched it, I thought of an idea that, with how absolutely brutal Daemos can be towards their own kind ⁽*ᶜᵒᵘᵍʰ* ᴬˢᶜʰ'ˢ ᴰᵉᵃᵈᵇᵉᵃᵗ ᴰᵃᵈ *ᶜᵒᵘᵍʰ*⁾, maybe there were a little more interconnected to keep the most powerful close, and the least powerful contained. Maybe, instead of villages outside of a castle town, the kingdom has sectors for living, some sectors closer to the actual castle where uncommon knowledge is withheld, and even powerful Daemos reside there (basically, their version of "rich" people, since it is implied they do not have currency, at least in an actual money sort of way), hence the rarely spoken "ranking" system they have. The farther away the sectors, the weaker Daemos residents are, and are kept that way through boarder control. Only way to move up in living and in power is through your hard-working efforts. This also may help explain how Bish ended up recognized by and married to Rhal, and how Noi managed to be a knight despite his lowest rank. It doesn't mean they won't be looked down upon as seen by Noi's fellow comrades and Lady Grandma towards Bish, but they still more than likely shown more than enough effort to be where they're at now. With it also being in separate sectors, the current ruler for the sake of instilling fear and sending a message can absolutely ruin, if not fully destroy, a sector, if they so pleased, or help it. Hair: Partly inspired by @load-theloading-artist 's thoughts on hair styles (link to their post here), I do imagine very similarly Daemos have different hairstyles to hide vulnerability and/or show confidence, but also have ideas of some hairstyles that are more combat-ready as well. A lot of those that fight either have shorter hair or have longer hair that is tied back to help them within said combat, and more of your regal, non-fighters will assume some more "fashionable" hair (i.e. braids, buns, half-up, etc.) With that being said, though, it can show status as well, like the ones that are more modest and are your run-of-the-mill civilians may care less for their hair, or if they do, they may get sneered at by (in their own terms) "weaker" Daemos that assume they're trying for nothing, or they'll be like the rest of the more powerful Daemos that just forgets about them or be cruel to them and will avoid them; either way it'll look and feel like an insult. Other teachings: I'd assume there'd be more teachings in Daemos society other than just the combat. Medical fields to help injured soldiers (prioritizing healing magic for those able, and have subcategories of physical treatment, herbal remedies, etc.) would be great within this time of magic crisis, and some lighter teachings for the civilians. With how dystopian the world of the Daemos feels, some history may be hidden, either within the mystical library of the kingdom, or even in forbidden areas (this may be due to Asch's Dad to keep his power longer in my mind's eye, he just seems a kind of monarch that would Do That), and maybe there's even a way to restore magic without human souls. The history teachings would be in rebel groups that are super lowkey and underground. Language teachings, to help read, write, and speak in other languages other than the Daemos's home language (probably is useful for Daemos that only speak a certain language and was once used to communicate with humans a long time ago before they were eradicated for magic usage.) (Continuing in next post as a reblog!)

Do you have any my inner demons ships? I wanna hear all about them

I am so sorry for getting to this so late ahfjksdhfjsd- It is really hard to articulate an answer without having The Brain Fog, but now that my mind is good to go, I'll say this: A lot of the characters have such good chemistry with one another, that it's hard to determine which one is the top one, much less which ones are the top three. But, if I had to choose within the aimed "canonical" romance, I'd say Ava x Pierce are the strongest. In my eyes, Pierce genuinely tries for her a lot of times, even without romantical love being there. This man actually began to care for her and her thoughts (yes, he may have stolen cereal just to make sure she didn't starve for the motive of "we have to learn about this new world and she's our way of doing so", but he could have easily Not Done That as well, so that's care in my book.) Hell, he even was the one to talk to her and ask if she cared for him and the other Daemos, which helped him see her stance, as well as explain to her that care is rare, if at all existent or displayed. Later down the line, this care is shown more in all of them. Ava getting sick, Ava leaving them around the festival and meeting back, etc. No matter what, it's become more than just her being their prisoner and impromptu tour guide, and her being there for them, despite her rude and anti-social approach on sociability. This is just my perception though, of course, as art (even in Minecraft Roleplaying Series) is interpretive. On the crack ship side of things, Ava x Lorelai. They bounce off each other super well, and may have more in common than they both know. As how I perceive it, Lorelai is rambunctious and loud, and Ava's socially distant and awkward. But there were times that, despite Ava pushing her away, she does show care enough to still talk to her, even if most times it's cat things from her own house cat like pressing the answer button for her. And it's proven further when she smacked Steve at the festival for breaking up with Lorelai on the basis of her being "too much" for him. What sells it for me is Ava literally says "No one disses you like that except me." and even asked to hang out the following week since "that's what friends do." There is a lot of potential there, with it being slow burn, but turning into something more beautiful later.

HikariRinku's My Inner Demons Side Blog!

Hello! I figured to start MID reblogs and MID art and headcanons on a sideblog. Don't worry, my main blog ( @hikaririnku-blog ) will still have MID content, but they'll come from here instead from now on. :)

Now time to catch up on pre-existing stuff...
