#[ THANK YOU AKANE !! ]

[abitoflavender]

@akanemnon so, I've been an avid follower of twin runes for months now. long story short, I have some really fun chronic nerve pain syndrome thing that's been going on for a few years, and the doctors are just now figuring it out. I start my second year in animation/art school in a few weeks, and figured it'd be a good a time as any to f i n a l l y make some twin runes fanart, to get my arm nice and anesthetized to pain as I hold my pen for hours on end.

I don't know when the hell I will finish this, because I've still got to do the flat color, shading, and whatever other details I decide to add, but I just wanted to post a wip now, and say thank you akane. thank you for reigniting both my love for this fandom again, and my hope to one day finally start the undertale comic/series I have been planning since 2016--when I was in 6th grade, and dooding chara in the margins of my science notes in shitty wide ruled notebooks. I haven't been able to draw much in a few months, but I looked at my wacom tonight and said,

"hm. I need to draw the lanky one and the nugget."

(frisk's face looks weird af right now and i do NOT know why but im hoping shading will fix it lmao)

(also i hate lineart, why cant things just stay sketches)

behold ... my dangan racing au

so happy to finally redo my old references from april. really fought with myself on some of these but yippie theyre here!!

i dont know whether or not they drive cars or ride motorcycles but i like both, so it can be whatever lol. its specifically motorcycles in my head though! + all of them are separated into two teams (team usagi & kuma) as you can see by their pins. (mikan and kazuichi arent racers though, they just aid people. theyre besties!!!)

Watching these two get jealous over each other never gets old

But even so, he’s always gonna save her when his girl needs him, also where y’all read your manga ? I want clearer pages, look how cute ranko and akane are holding hands

But the BEST part is when they band together and are acting so casually as a couple

The way they’re holding hands the whole time bro im crying

And lastly bickering at each other again and addressing their jealousies kind of

But hey akane said it best, good couple are bound to fight

Something I found especially interesting after this chapter was the difference in views between Teru and Akane. More specifically I think it’s interesting how Akane claims to hate supernaturals, just like how Teru does but he still goes out of his way in this chapter to defend Mirai and Kako… Obviously we’ve seen in the court arc that he clearly does care for them but still I just think it’s interesting and was wondering if you had any good thoughts and analysis on it (after all your so good at that kinda thing :))))

Akane has a reluctant soft spot for the clock keepers, deep down, but I'm a firm believer that his lackluster attempt to defend Mirai and Kako wasn't born from a place of faith or care, it was out of fear. He shares the same fear as Teru. I talk about why I interpreted it like that here.

But the chapter still show a very interesting diference in view between Teru and Akane when they learn Yugi Amane used to be a teacher.

Akane is the one who calls this teacher a murderer. Teru's focus is on how he is an adult here.

Teru also calls him by name. Consistently.

Usually, he only refers to supernaturals by their role or their seat position. Doesn't matter if he is happy, angry, or neutral. It's never by name.

This shows Teru is still separating one timeline from the other. It's hard to say if he believes Amane is a bad person or not, but Teru does seem to have decided Amane Yugi is a person, not a supernatural.

He brought up Amane's happiness to make Nene reconsider staying in this world, 100%, but I do think there is a hint of honesty to this question. I wonder what he think of the idea of a ghost, a doomed being, having an actual life, with a job, and such.

It contrasts with how Akane is treating this timeline as a reality. deciding 'Hanako is still Hanako so he is a murderer' despite not knowing anything about Professor Yugi, and 'Aoi is still the same Aoi at heart. I love her' even after seeing her differences from og Aoi.

Akane is just following his program. ("Aoi is doubting my love!" -> "I will reassure her she is the only one for me.") Which falls on their old pre-severance routine, since the original Aoi main issue used to be her lack of belief she is lovable and while the New Timeline Aoi was acting differently, she still displayed the same possessive and insecure behaviors as pre-severance Aoi used to, not wanting Akane to be too close to a girl. Still, Akane has no way of knowing if this engaged Aoi is the same as the og one. He is just assuming based on the old timeline.

(unrelated but it's interesting that Akane went from "I'll love you my whole life" to "I'll love you my whole life... No, even after that" cause he is the last person to think about becoming a supernatural. It makes me wonder if part of him is aware each timeline is a completely different world, a different life... but I don't have enough insight on him yet for that, is just food for thought/headcanons.)

The main gag of this chapter is Akane treating others like their old selves while Teru treat them as separated from their old timeline counterparts.

Teru is being a brat here, but he is right. This Aoi has none of the experiences Akane has. Akane needs to adapt.

Similarly, when he talks about the person Nene fell in love with, he isn't talking about a teacher Nene never met, he is talking about the ghost murderer we are familiar with.

I think if I were to put the difference in their view (not their approach just their view) in a very simplified box, I would say Teru sees supernaturals as unsavable and dangerous, while Akane sees them as unforgivable and dangerous.

aaaaaand as of this chapter this gorgeous song has officially become certified Aquaka™

If I could tear you from the ceiling I know best have tried

I'd fill your every breath with meaning And find a place we both could hide

Don't go and leave me And please don't drive me blind

You don't believe me, but you do this every time

Please don't drive me blind Please don't drive me blind

I know you're broken

If I could tear you from the ceiling I'd freeze us both in time

An find a brand new way of seeing Your eyes forever glued to mine

Don't go and leave meAnd please don't drive me blind

Please don't drive me blind Please don't drive me blind

I know you're broken

[akanemnon]

Great comic as always! Lots of emotions. I understand why you're taking a break, and you can take as long as you need. Take care of yourself first! The comic isn't as important.

I'M NOT CRYING!

YOU'RE CRYING!

NEVERMIND

I AM CRYING!

For real though, thank you all for your kind words. Only recently has it sunken in how much my work means to all of you. A friend really had to hammer that into my brain. Well, not really hammer it in, but after laying it all out what the comic did for them, it really hit me hard. Being told that really put it into perspective how someone's work can have an influence on someone. And that is beautiful.

I am really thankful for every single one of you. And it means a ton to me that you like this comic so much and that it means so much to you.

Gonna use that rest as best as a I can and come back swinging. There are neat things waiting around the corner.
