#Aki chat

[aki-draws-things]

This girl is around 4.30 hours away from leaving for one of her dream trips with her best friend.I obviously am having trouble sleeping, we leave at 4.30 am and here I am, wide awake and mentally checking things I've packed and closed already.

(But!! France, here we come!! It only took us too many years!)

"Maybe more like a dark void, but I'm starting to see some sliver of light," Raul replied. He picked at a loose thread on his swim trunks to avoid having to look at Aki's face. The past year or so was blurry. He had some moments that stood out with stark clarity -- like when he first stepped into the empty efficiency that was now his apartment. In other ways, the past year was routine and rhythmic and calming in ways that Seattle never was. So, at the follow-up question, Raul looked up with a half smile. "Relaxing. Social work got to be too much, so this is like one big sabbatical."

Raul flicked the loose thread into the water. He wondered if it would sink or swim. He squinted to try to catch sight of it. "You should get a phone -- maybe not a smartphone, but one of those old bricks, y'know? Safer that way," he said, then added, "So, you've moved here. What are your plans? Do you have a place that you're staying?" Somewhere safe. Raul didn't have to say the latter. Raul knew when Aki was struggling over the past couple of years; he could tell by the way Aki's thoughts jumped in his texts; he also believed Aki this time. He just seemed more grounded and clear -- that was the way Raul would describe it. He also knew to ask because sometimes being alone was more dangerous than being around others.

"Just don't shrink too much that you disappear," Aki teases, playfully winking. It was easy to step back into the rhythm of things with Raul for Akiak. Their friendship throughout the years had been one of the main reasons he found strength to keep pushing to be a better person and not give into his inner demons. Even if they went years without speaking to each other now, Raul would always continue to be a light in Aki's life that could never be dimmed. Whatever the reasons he had for coming to Hemlock Springs too, Aki was just content the universe had crossed their paths again.

"Tell me about this cave of yours. Is it vibrant with various crystal lights bouncing off each other or is it more of a dim cave? Either way, I won't pry too much more. I'm just curious." His smile falters a bit when the question about his phone is asked, but he tries to keep it from completely falling for the sake of this being a light reunion. "It fell while I was trying to leave a friend's house one night, shattered entirely. I just haven't gotten around to getting another one." A drug transaction gone wrong, but he spared those details. "I'm not really in a rush to get a new one, if I'm honest. It's been a bit refreshing not having one." He gives a little shrug, and smile. "So, what have you been up to as of late?"

aki who realizes your coworkers are trying to get you drunk on a night out and starts to casually switch his empty/half drank glasses with you. at the end of the night your coworkers congratulate you for being able to handle so much alcohol while scolding aki for being so drunk with so little. now you’re walking around the empty streets of roppongi with this 190cm guy hanging on your shoulder trying not to trip and listening to him scold you for being naive and not realizing how pretty you are

Chat I'm sensing a pattern in my interests

[akioukun]

Gotta figure out how to write this

Allo all friends, strangers and ppl who for some reason or another follow this account. It has been a while. I hope everyone is well.

Straight to the crux of the issue:

I have art block.

For the past year and a bit, basically since coming home from being away I have found it impossible to bring something of quality to fruition. I’m not sure why. Its not a lack of ideas, in fact its more like I sit down and start something, only for 50 other ideas to fall on top of me. I then start to panic to try and get to the one idea I want to do before I end up in a paralyzing state of self worthlessness and indecision, ideas jumbling together, before i close my sketchbook and go to bed, usually.

it hurts alot to be stuck in this way, drawing has always felt second nature to me and to suddenly feel like you have nothing in the tank, that nothing is good enough, that drawing is a foreign sensation or language i’m no longer used to - i dont really know where to go from here?

Which I know many people suffer from this, ive seen this problem topple many friends. But to have it happening myself feels so bad. I feel I’m losing time and letting myself down. Trying to strongarm it leads to worse feelings. Not doing anything and reattempting is a horrid reminder that my skills have taken a dive from lack of use.

So I guess this is just an empty statement to say that my art is on hold, which it has been for a while, unspoken - but now until the foreseeable future.

And I guess I just want to also ask for tips and tricks on how to handle this, I dont know if I should try and open asks for prompts up - see if someone else giving me an idea helps to tunnel vision on an idea, or if theres typical ways to work around this?

This is kind of a depressing post. But I appreciate everyone who finds my art and gives it a little love. Sometimes thats the one thing that reminds me I’m still an artist.

✩˚｡⋆ order up! one banana bread for @chiwhorei ft. hayakawa aki! ₊˚✩

banana bread is a classic sweet bread made from mashed, usually overripe bananas. it is known for being comforting and warm, and is often baked with chocolate chips or walnuts.

notes: pardon my creative interpretation of this moodboard as i kind of challenged myself on it - i didn't want it to simply be a brown moodboard with some yellow pops - i felt like i wanted to include some blue accents (idk, maybe blueberries? that wouldn't taste half bad) and i think that's bc of aki's vibes - he's like a sweet but tart lil' blueberry lmao. and his vibe reminds me of nostalgia & home - hence soft pictures of flowers, picnics, and autumn skies. i wanted to go w something a bit unique but comforting, so i hope you enjoyed!

🧁 check out the dessert moodboard event here!

Aki with that gun in his head is one of the worst things the Chainsaw Man manga has made me see

[catinflight]

Got any fully charged headcanons? :>

Not any particularly interesting ones,

But I do like to think daini has a MAJOR sweet tooth

I also like to think that because of said sweet tooth, daini picks up baking / cooking as a hobby but considers it a little embarrassing to admit,

(Although everyone knows, because he has definitely baked the odd pastry for aki and suna at least a few times)

He may or may not be taking cooking classes with gutsman

(Because who else is gonna teach him)

Other headcanons I didn't really feel like drawing include (WARNING THEY ARE KIND OF STUPID AND YAPPER YAPPINGTON CORE SO YEAH⚠️⚠️👹👹)

It'd be pretty interesting if Daini had a damaged core (like protoman, but not as severe of course) this could have been a result of dangerous training or an extreme accident he never fully recovered from, either way I'd imagine it really stunts his energy output, so he's most likely very sleepy to compensate.

Aki has made a habit of gifting people the most random things, a really cool smooth rock? It's for you! Shiny marbled on the floor that are slightly scratched up? He thinks you'll like it! An extra edition of his favorite comic serious? He wants to be able to enjoy it with you! He's sweet like that, but it can sometimes get a little much.

Suna has probably grown to be a very good engineer / mechanic. She often helps Dr. Light with his inventions or fixes up Aki / Daini after rough battles (mini appreciates the help) of course she also uses her skills to upgrade her own armor, and often handles the tougher fights that Aki or Daini might struggle on, after all, nobody is expecting to be sliced into ribbons when facing two gun wielding children.

Once Daini starts something, he often has trouble stopping, so much so that if he often forgets to recharge and take a break, homework? Doesn't stop until it's all finished and the answers are correct (he will make sure), chores? The house will never look less than clean on his watch (his own room does not apply). You ask him to get something from the kitchen? He does it immediately, no questions asked.

Aki, on the other hand, is very forgetful about his responsibilities. He often puts them off until the very last moment and regrets it dearly. He doesn't do this on purpose, of course, but tell me, if you had to choose between playing your favorite video game VS doing homework, would you choose the homework? I don't think so. Because of this, Aki and Daini often bump heads about tidying up.

Suna CANNOT catch a break, she constantly has to be the head of reason whenever Daini and Aki bicker when eachother, she also might catch a few strayed herself if it's heated enough, but she has the verbal artillery to be able to snap back pretty quickly, so for the most part they don't test her. Sometimes she waits things out, othertimes she has to stop them from Lord of The Flies-ing each other off of a cliff (no pig head on a stick required) but like most sibling squabbles, everyone makes up and gets over it (unless it's over food, food thieves are never forgiven /j)

And that's all I think,

If I come up with more I might come bsck

But this is getting really long so, maybe not

Hello friends!

This is an update I’m kinda bummed about making, and I know that its not mandatory to make a post like this because I dont owe anyone my work or time, but I like to keep people informed at least when it comes to why when theres an absence of art.

So onto that; probably obvious at this point that theres not alot of art happening. I didn’t fall out of love with Harringrove, I still adore this community and the silly little guys at the centre of it all.

But life has been pretty full on since I returned from Canada due to a few hiccups and family problems. My reality right now is that all my creative efforts are going into the two full time jobs I am barely juggling amongst my social and home life.

SO, in lead up to Christmas and at least until January, it is very unlikely there will be anymore art - and I wont be around as much. I’m still happy to talk and chat and will still be reposting and yelling when theres time; but overall my time here will be reduced until I come out the other side of this shitshow tunnel. Soon as its over I will be plunging back into my free time work and getting deeply involved as always. In the meantime, if you send stuff, tag me in stuff etc etc. know that I do see it, and read it - just sometimes my head is so full right now or so much is happening around me I don’t have the space in my on fire brain memory to always answer 🥺🫠

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the year, I appreciate you all so much and hope that the Nov-Dec sprint to the end of the year doesn’t drag you under 🫂

Take care! ☀️
