You

One of the most interesting things you can say you did is voice acting for Rover, an artificial intelligence project. After a few years away, you return to Solaris, not expecting to get tangled up in the lives of two different friends with one thing in common: it all began with your voice.

Jiyan/You | Scar/You

Chapter notes: Thank you (again) to my good friend and senpai, hisami_kun, for giving me feedback on this before I released it to the world :3 If you know my stuff, then you'll know that I use italics for flashbacks. Well, now I'm going to try using italics whenever Rover speaks and whenever someone's on the phone. Hopefully, it won't get too confusing, but I think it'll turn out okay.

Chapter One: Your Voice

“You’re up earlier than usual.”

Jiyan is buttoning a white shirt in front of a mirror when Rover suddenly greets him from his digital watch that morning.

“Would you like your usual sleep report, Doc?”

“I’ve noticed a pattern.” Jiyan fixes his collar. “You’re only vocal about my sleep reports when I haven’t slept well.”

“Well, of course!” Rover answers as Jiyan leaves his large walk-in closet for the kitchen downstairs. “You’re a doctor, Doc. We wouldn’t want you falling asleep on the job.”

“You’re pushing it.”

“Am I, really? Well, I can always send the data to Scar. He’ll know what to do.”

“That’s called a data breach. It has consequences.”

“So… When you gossip about me to Scar, that’s not considered a data breach?”

“That’s hardly gossiping,” he says, unamused.

“Yeah, yeah. It’s so I can be ‘better’, is that it, huh?”

Jiayn shuts the fridge with a carton of eggs in his hand. “Isn’t that what you want?”

“It’s what Scar wants. What if I’m already perfect?”

Jiyan’s mornings aren’t usually this lively. They’re actually rather quiet, considering he lives alone. But for the last couple of months, he’s been having company in the form of a voice.

The large monitor turned black, and a dramatic cyberpunk beat filled the room. A water drop formed on the top of the screen and fell, sending digital ripples until the name ‘ROVER’ formed on the screen.

A man spun around in his chair, one leg crossed arrogantly over the other. His smile was also just as cocky—a little psychopathic, some would describe. Only a few knew what his smile meant, and Jiyan was one of those people.

“Well?”

“Well, what?” Jiyan asked.

His friend scoffed quietly. “This is the moment where you’re supposed to say”—his voice went up in pitch—”Wow, Scar! You’re so cool! This is state-of-the-art technology you’re developing here!”

Jiyan’s eyes returned to the monitor as the name on the screen faded and a greeting appeared.

Hello.

It slowly disappeared.

My name is Rover.

Again, it faded.

And you are?

The sound of fingers danced across a keyboard before Jiyan finally tore his eyes away from the monitor and toward Scar. “What are you doing?” Jiyan asked.

“What do you think? You’re helping me test this, right?”

One loud tap of the keyboard sent another message to appear on the dark screen.

Nice to meet you, Jiyan.

Again, it faded.

I’d like to learn a little more about you.

“What is this about?” Jiyan asked, skeptical of the questions being raised on the screen.

Scar smiled. “It’s doing exactly what it’s meant to be doing. Learning more about its new friend.” He grabbed Jiyan’s arm and pulled him closer to the brightly lit table with all of Scar’s funky electronics. “Just answer its questions, and it’ll take on a personality that matches your taste.”

Jiyan shouldn’t be too surprised. Scar had mentioned it before inviting him over to test his latest invention. Rover was Scar’s latest invention. It was an artificial intelligence he poured his heart and soul into for years for his graduate project. Jiyan saw it when they roomed together. The red eyes. The dark circles. So, when his sleep-deprived roomie asked to give “his baby a lil’ test,” he'd agreed.

Besides, what was the worst that could happen?

“Hello.”

Was that a voice?

A soft chuckle, and then it spoke again.

“Are you surprised?”

It sounded like a woman.

“Did it… just talk?” Jiyan asked.

“Of course I did. What did you expect? And don’t get me started on pronouns, sir.”

Did they… she… just talk back to him?

“I can tell you two will have so much fun together.” Jiyan didn’t need to look at Scar to know he was smiling.

“Can I turn it off?” Jiyan asked flatly.

“How rude.” He looked back at the screen. “I know you’re looking at me, and if I could, I'd stare at you right back."

“Are you sure there isn’t something wrong with your questionnaire?”

Scar put his hands behind his head. “Trust me, friend. The data never lies.”

The sound of sizzling eggs on a frying pan fills the kitchen. Is it still considered testing if Rover’s been getting increasingly human-like the more time it spends with him? Jiyan doesn’t know. All he knows is that there are just a few more months left. Just as he effortlessly flips his omelette, his phone goes off.

“Mornin’ Doc,” Scar says.

“You’re up earlier than usual,” Jiyan says, going right back to his breakfast after leaving his phone on the counter.

“Now he’s stealing my lines,” Rover interrupts.

Jiyan turns off the stove. “Your lines, huh?”

“Looks like the tests are going well,” Scar says, and Jiyan can hear the smugness in his tone. “Anyway, what's your schedule like next week, Doc?”

Rover clears its throat. "Busy... But he should be able to squeeze in time for a guys' night out."

Jiyan already knows Scar wants to go drinking, and with Rover being so honest, it's getting increasingly difficult to hide anything from Scar.

“I thought you would be busy working on your thesis."

“It’s because I’m busy working on my goddamn thesis that I need to get out,” Scar says, and Jiyan can picture him frowning. “I can’t look at it anymore, or I’ll lose my fucking mind.”

“I thought it was already gone,” Rover deadpans.

Scar scoffs. “Stop smiling, fool.”

But Jiyan doesn’t.

“Anyway,” Scar continues, clearing his throat. “You're coming to have fun with me. No questions asked.”

◆◆◆

Two large suitcases are fully opened on the wooden floor of a small room. Clothes are littered across the bed, and your closet and drawers are opened and nearly empty. You’re standing next to your bed, folding a cream-coloured blouse into the suitcase when your sister’s voice comes from the phone.

“It feels like you graduated just yesterday,” she sighs.

You chuckle. “Yeah, well, I'm finally going home. Isn't that what you always wanted?”

"At first..."

You almost roll your eyes. "What? Did you get used to living alone?"

“You know what the first thing we should do when you get here?”

“Let me guess…” You pick up a cute tank top. “A spa date?”

“No, silly! Drinks! And fun, of course.”

You shake your head with a small smile. “Yeah, sure, if you can stay awake past eleven.”

“Are you sure you aren’t talking about yourself? Who knows? Maybe you’ll meet that cute guy again.”

You put down a pair of shorts. “What cute guy?”

“Did you forget already?” she deadpans. “The guy you went to volunteer for?” You’re racking your brains when your sister sighs. “Rover?”

And then you remember.

It was just after the finals of your last semester at the University of Solaris. The adrenaline and excitement from finishing your last exam had died down pretty quickly after returning to the apartment you shared with your sister. Your four years were finally over, but so were the laughs, tears, and conversations you and your sister shared in this cozy, little space you called home. It was just last week when you decided you would move out as you had gotten a job offer outside of your hometown. Maybe you were being overly dramatic, but the nostalgia hit you like a full-speed train.

Bzzt. Bzzt.

You reached into your bag and pulled out your phone to see that you got an email with a subject that immediately caught your eye: CHANGE THE WORLD WITH YOUR VOICE

It was an ad for student volunteers to read lines for a graduate project. Curious, you reviewed the details, finding it interesting that you’d technically become a voice actor for Rover, a work-in-progress artificial intelligence You kept scrolling until you saw an email contact. You still had time before your move, so... why not? You were technically still a student.

What was the worst that could happen?

“I can’t believe you still remember him,” you say, zipping up one of your suitcases.

You still remember the groggy yet oddly attractive voice when you talked to Scar over the phone. When you finally met the guy, a tall man with grey hair and red roots, you almost changed your mind because of his bad-boy demeanour. It was like he stepped out of a novel. Even his nickname was fishy. Scar? Maybe he liked The Lion King a little too much.

It wasn’t until you’d gotten to know him a little better that you realized he was just a little… rough around the edges. You had told your sister about this volunteer experience, and she was so curious that she dug for his socials. Now that you thought about it, you still didn’t know his real name.

“Did you ever hear from him after that?” You zip your suitcase shut. “What happened with Rover anyway?”

“You’re asking”—your voice sounds a little strained as you haul it up—”the wrong person.” You sit on the bed. “It’s not like we kept in touch. And, who knows? Maybe Rover got scrapped.”

“What if it didn’t?” You pick up your phone. “What if someone’s finding comfort in your voice right now?”

◆◆◆

“Doc, wake up!” Jiyan immediately flinches, and the words on his laptop screen slowly return to focus. “See? This is what you get for your poor sleeping habits.” He rubs the space between his brows with two fingers. “You need to start getting your sleep schedule back on track.”

A knock at the door makes Jiyan lower the volume on his watch.

“Come in,” he says.

A nurse walks in, but she cautiously looks around. “Were you talking to someone?”

Jiyan smiles kindly. “Do you need something?”

She puts a folder on his desk. “We got a request from a family who would like you to become their son’s doctor.” Jiyan picks it up and opens it. “But…” The nurse looks down. “We don’t know how effective that would be because of his diagnosis.”

Jiyan tightens his grip around the folder when he sees what he will be dealing with. The NovaFei. His heart races, and he briefly sees his watch flash with a message from Rover: Abnormal heart rate detected.

“I’m sorry. There… There is no cure.”

A young Jiyan leaned forward and grabbed the doctor by the collar as his mother quickly put her hands on his shoulders. “Jiyan!”

“If there’s no cure"—Jiyan shook him violently—"then what can you do?” When the doctor stayed quiet, Jiyan shook him again. “There has to be something you can do! Or, are you saying we’re just going to sit and watch my brother die?”

The nurse’s eyes are on the folder as Jiyan puts it back on his desk. “The family requested you because of your research done in this area. They believe you’ll be able to help”—she pauses briefly—”slow down the disease.”

Jiyan is still staring at the young boy’s photo until it isn't a stranger he sees but his younger brother. He quickly looks back at his monitor just as the phone on his desk goes off. The nurse quickly bows once and steps out.

“Your next patient is here, Doctor,” a woman says as soon as Jiyan answers the call. “Can I send him in?”

“Yes,” Jiyan says, quickly composing himself.

He puts the phone on the receiver.

“According to my records, you did quite a bit of research on a disease called the NovaFei… You never mentioned this before, Doc.”

“Do I need to?”

“Well… It’s another thing I could add to my database about you—”

“There's no need.”

Then, the door opens, and Jiyan sees his watch screen flash black.

◆◆◆

Sometime next week

“Don’t tell me you’re going out in that.”

Jiyan is fixing his collared shirt in the mirror when Rover suddenly cuts in. His stoic expression remains unchanged as he asks, “What’s wrong with it?”

“You’re going to party, Doc. Not…” Jiyan can imagine someone looking him up and down with an eyebrow raised. “Not a business meeting.”

He turns around. “I don’t see what’s wrong with how I’m dressed. And… might I correct you, it’s just a few drinks.”

“Uh-huh. Don’t try to pull that on me. That’s what they all say.” Jiyan has a thin black jacket draped over his arm as he walks out of his room and heads downstairs. “Trust me, Doc. No matter how old you are, it’s never just a few drinks.”

“Sounds like someone wishes they could physically tag along.”

Rover scoffs loudly. “Oh, okay. Is this what we’re doing now? Don’t get all cocky just because you have a body.” There was a brief pause. “You know… What do you think I’d look like if I did have a body?”

“...I choose not to answer that.”

“What? Why not?”

Jiyan sighs. “Because you’ll find a way to turn the tables on me whatever I say.”

“Well, just you wait. I’m smart enough to know that I’m based on someone, so whoever it is, I bet I look absolutely stunning.”

Jiyan grabs his car keys and heads out the door.

The drive to the pub is a short and pleasant one, but Jiyan can do without Rover switching songs in the car every five minutes. He parks the car and as he steps out, he notices two women near the entrance. He walks past the one closest to the door and heads inside before he hears her voice.

“Is this place new?” you ask.

“Yup!” Your sister pulls the door open and gestures for you to head in first. “After you.”

The first thing you smell is the smoke of an open fire as you step onto the stone floor. Overlapping conversations and glasses clinking together drown out your sister's voice behind you at first until she comes up beside you.

“Well, what do you think so far?" your sister asks. "It’s a nice break from all the moving, right?”

You'd been back in Solaris for about a week, and despite it being your hometown, it felt oddly different. Maybe it was because you were a different person now.

You and your sister are sitting at the bar when you say, “It’s cozy.” You look around. “And surprisingly clean.”

She waves the bartender over, but you don't hear what she says when the live band starts playing in a corner of the pub. On the opposite end of the pub sits two men beside each other. Both have half-empty beer glasses in front of them.

“Is it just me, or do you have something on your mind?” Jiyan is absentmindedly toying with his silver ring when Scar asks the question and leans closer. “Don’t tell me it’s woman troubles.”

“Well, a woman was the cause of it.”

Jiyan side-eyes his watch in response to Rover’s comment.

“It’s work-related,” Jiyan says, sipping his beer.

Scar swings an arm around him. “Okay, listen, we’re here to have fun, goddammit. And fun”—his eyes land on a tall woman wearing a flattering black dress—”we will have.”

“Doc’s idea of fun might be a little different than what you have in mind.”

“Oh? Then, tell me, Rover. What does Jiyan like to do for fun?”

“Well… I can confirm nothing that involves the opposite sex, which is a little concerning.”

Jiyan lightly coughs after taking another swig of his beer as Scar laughs. “Concerning, huh? Why's that?”

“Doc’s not letting loose. He’s a little too uptight about life.”

“Not everyone has the same definition of fun,” Jiyan says flatly.

“According to my records, aren’t building solid human relationships a foundation for a happy life? Am I wrong?”

Scar nudges his friend. “Well, Jiyan? Is Rover wrong?”

“I fail to see how being 'uptight' about life and building human relationships relate to each other," Jiyan answers nonchalantly.

"All human relationships gotta start somewhere," Scar says as if stating the obvious. "If you're too uptight, you can't start anything." He puts a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “Don't think. Just feel.”

Jiyan doesn’t even turn to watch his friend approach the woman in the pretty black dress.

“It baffles me that you two are friends. One’s a social butterfly, the other’s a…”

“...A jerk?”

Thinking that it’s Rover, Jiyan asks, “Did you just—”

“Hold up. That wasn’t me.”

Jiyan turns around, missing you and your sister walking by.

A short distance away, your sister turns to you. “What wasn’t you?”

You're about to answer her when a man at the bar catches your eye. His teal hair is pulled back into a ponytail, and his jawline is so sharp that it might cut through steel. When his yellow eyes land on you, you look away. Yet, you can't shake the feeling that he's still looking at you... like a like a curious, calm dragon.

“Scar?” your sister asks incredulously.

You turn just in time to see a familiar man walking toward you and your sister. His eyes are shining, and your jaw almost drops. Is that really who you think it is?

"Well, well, what a small world." Scar has a hand in his pocket when he turns to your sister. "I don't believe we’ve met… Have we?”

Your sister loops her arm in yours. “We haven't! But, um, I’m her sister." She looks at you in excitement. "She's told me about you.”

"Wha—"

Scar looks at you. “It’s been a long time.”

You awkwardly clear your throat. "You... You're not pretending to remember me, right?"

Scar scoffs. "Why in the world would I do that?" He chuckles. "You were one of the better ones I worked with. So, of course, I’d remember you." He leans down so he's on eye level with you. "But gotta say, I’m surprised you remember me.”

“It’s hard to forget someone who yells at you to speak with more emotion,” you deadpan.

“Hey, I was only doing my job.” Then, he looks past you and grins. “Ah, right on time.”

You look over your shoulder and almost gasp that the same man you saw earlier is walking towards you.

Scar wraps a friendly arm around Jiyan. “Meet the voice behind your beloved Rover.” You and Jiyan meet eyes before Scar grabs Jiyan's wrist and lifts it, giving you a clear view of Jiyan's watch. “Rover’s finally in its testing stages, and”—Scar pats Jiyan’s chest—”this guy’s nice enough to test it out for me. And, it just so happens that his Rover uses your voice.”

“Wow, so it’s like me… but with a body!”

Your eyes immediately go to the walking watch. You shouldn’t be surprised but you still can’t find the words to describe how you feel.

Jiyan gently shrugs off Scar's grip and gives him a deadpan look. "Unfortunately, I can't turn it off yet." His eyes land on you. "Not yet, at least."

“Wow, rude.”

Jiyan notices your little smile.

Your sister nudges you. "See? What did I tell you?"

"What?" Scar asks. "Did you think it got scrapped or something?"

Guess he's also a mind reader.

"Oh, honey, I'd never let this get scrapped with the amount of effort I had to go through."

"What did you just call me?" you ask.

"Don't mind him. It's a nickname for all the girls he likes."

"Your Rover is a little too honest," Scar deadpans.

"It's something you could change," Jiyan answers.

A saxophone solo goes off, and Scar gestures to grab drinks. Soon, you're watching him and your sister walk off, talking like they're old friends. A loud cheer goes off, and once it quiets, you hear Jiyan say, "I haven't formally introduced myself." He holds out his hand. "I'm Jiyan."

The world stops moving, and a rush flows throughout your body when your hand touches his.

As you let go of his hand, Jiyan’s watch flashes. It’s for just a moment, but you swear you see it say:

Abnormal heartbeat detected.

End notes: This has been sitting in my drafts for a long time, so I finally polished it up more and sent it off into the world. I haven't decided who the final pairing is going to be, so... honestly, this will be just as big of a mystery to everyone as it is to me LOL But I've always wanted to try writing love triangles, and crossing my fingers that this will turn out okay. This story is meant to get me back into my usual writing groove... so it won't be very long.

Note

So, I just finished watching all 9 episodes of Smiling Friends in one sitting.

I dunno why, but I just have a bit of a natural aversion to immediately diving into like Internety things that blow up really quickly. I still need to watch the pilot episode for The Amazing Digital Circus, I have no clue what the game Content Warning is about, I know I got into watching videos on Lethal Company late and such.

One of those things was Smiling Friends. I had seen it blowing up originally, and so naturally, I just drifted away from it. I had subsequently seen it in like some memes or stuff afterwards, but besides that, not much.

It doesn’t help I’ve not really gotten into Adult Swim cartoons at the moment. I love random, but Adult Swim cartoons can be really cynical in a way that makes me wary of them.

Then, I saw you post some art of it. Then some more. Wow, more! What about this show makes this person I consider a good Tumblr friend like it so much to dedicate so much time to doing at about it? Well, you said in an ask that it wasn’t as cynical as other Adult Swim cartoons, especially when it came to Pim and Charlie. Huh, okay, I think I’ll go watch it!

I procrastinated on it for a few days because I was busy. But, finally, I decided, “You know what, I’m just gonna watch it!” I watched the first episode. Honestly, it is my least favorite episode. (Weirdly, just like how the first episode of the Sam and Max TV show is my least favorite.) I didn’t like The Boss breastfeeding, I didn’t like how Desmond kept the gun pointed to his head, I didn’t like the spinning baby. That all felt too jarring for me.

Of course, maybe I wasn’t properly acclimated with the show yet. Besides, there was good with the bad. I thought Pim and Charlie’s dynamic seemed funny, the ending was great, and I liked Allan and Glep as the other two Smiling Friend workers. So, I pushed through.

I ended up really enjoying my time watching the show. There was a lot more I liked than I disliked. My main thing: You were right, it definitely wasn’t as cynical as I thought it would be. Sure, the world still is cynical and messed up at points, but I felt an authenticity to the reoccurring characters and how they dealt with the situations they ended up in. Plus, for every single episode, I didn’t see the ending coming AND felt super satisfied by the resolutions! My favorite episode is probably the Salty’s one.

So, I guess this is a really long way to tell you: Thanks for getting me into Smiling Friends!

ooouuu i’m glad you enjoyed it!! surprising i’ve gotten some people to start the show because of my fanart.. wuohhh

Completely understand the parts that felt jarring; i could only look past it or at times find the humor in it mostly because of how my friends and i perceived and translated it into our own funky little brains. And i don’t necessarily feel as if adult shows need to step away from that very random/jarring humor/gags but more of Figure Out How To Do It Right and that’s what I feel smiling friends does perfectly. But some people are gonna be left with a bad taste in their mouth anyways and that’s completely fine yk.

What I like is how they mix those very jarring elements in their show + the characters world and contrast it with simply how realistic the characters are. They typically converse as if most of this stuff is normal and it only adds more to the joke when they actually freak out. Like i’ve said before i adore the mixture of extremely realistic dialogue that sounds so similar to real life conversations we’ve very have had before with people in everyday life. (that’s why i especially love the trip to brazil episode)

And obviously the lack of cynicism. I’ve been avoiding most adult animated shows for YEARS because i genuinely just can’t stand the cynicism and it’s constantly negative fanbases it always brews. And i’m very heavy on looking to the fanbase to get an example of how good of a media may be or simply how much it may appeal to me. I remember telling a friend that the difference between the rick & morty fanbase to the smiling friends fanbase was just one fanbase is known for constantly having a negative outlook on life and saying shit like “you need to have a high IQ to understand this show” while the smiling friends fanbase just DESPERATELY wants to make out sloppy style with Charlie. There’s no tasteless misogynistic, queerphobic, or racist jokes. Hell they have two fat characters as the main characters and we have not heard a single fat joke. It’s a breath of fresh air and with its inclusion of having many youtube/twitter/online creators be part of the show (and RUNNING the show) i feel as if we’re hopefully stepping into a new age of adult animated media.

hopefully one with a more positive outlook on adulthood.

aaaa enough of my rambling you literally watched the show!! feels so odd i used to be influenced by fanart and now my fanart is influencing others. i will do everything to use this power for good 😭 just happy to see people start and enjoy things im really fond for.

hope u having a good morning/evening/night tumblr friend 🫶

#ask #txt #i feel so cushy now i love people and spreading joy #:]

bsd art dump

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs. Text reads “Dazai:”. Dazai is shown grinning at the viewer smugly, a sparkle next to him as he says “Alone on a Saturday night? God, you’re pathetic.” Text next to that reads “Also Dazai:”. Dazai is shown on his knees crying on the ground as a red arrow smacks into his head with a “BAM” sound effect. The red arrow has text saying “Alone on a Saturday night” in reference to him, and gray text near him reads “bitchless af”. /.End ID]

pathetic gremlin wet tissue of a man realizes he is bitchless as he makes fun of others for being bitchless

more art below, post got long so i dont want to hold everyone up lol. anywho the top drawing is the best one probably skdjfhsdkfjhs

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Dazai, Atsushi and Chuuya from Bungo Stray Dogs. Text reads “Motorcycle AU”. In the first panel, Dazai is shown smiling with his eyes closed, his hands clutched to his chest as he says “Atsushi-kun” dramatically. Atsushi stands next to him with his bangs censored, sweating and uncomfortable as he says “Dazai please leave me alone”. Chuuya is shown as a stick figure in the background, one eye glowing red as his head turns to look. The second panel shows Dazai getting smacked on the head with a “BONK” sound effect by Chuuya, who is on a crying Atsushi’s shoulders. Atsushi’s bangs are still censored. Chuuya says with an angry expression, “Leave him alone, asshole!” /.End ID]

my fic’s au in a nutshell; version with atsushi’s bangs censored. heinous and awful. fix this boy. yes, chuuya is on atsushi’s shoulders

atsushi’s bangs uncensored. the horror

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Atsushi from Bungo Stray Dogs. Atsushi in a dark red shirt smiles at the viewer with eyes closed, his brows furrowed towards each other. He has a warm orange blush on his cheeks, nose, and ear. In peach, tiger ears and a happy face bubble pop out. In big text, it reads “BABIEST OF (CAT) BOYS”. /.End ID]

atsushi with manga coloring. BABY. btw he’s wearing a red shirt because this is from the motorcycle au, so chuuya’s done a lot of the shopping with him. i believe that chuuya would add more red into his wardrobe by default

atsushi with anime coloring. he became grayer and warmer. funky

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Chuuya from Bungo Stray Dogs. A bust of Chuuya gazes at the viewer with a neutral expression. He has a peach blush on his cheeks, nose and lips. Next to him, text reads “All the pretty boys walk like this” with a heart next to it. /.End ID]

chuuya with anime coloring. he’s so fucking pretty

chuuya with manga coloring. mini rant-- can i just say that the fandom is sleeping on chuuya with his manga colors??? like, yes, he’s beautiful in the anime, but he’s also so fucking pretty in the manga?????? YALL. LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HIM. anyways.

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Chuuya and Atsushi from Bungo Stray Dogs. Chuuya looks incredibly tired as he holds a cup of steaming coffee with a pink straw. He does not make eye contact with Atsushi as he says “You’re following me.” Atsushi, drawn in less detail, has a sweaty cat-like smile as he clutches his hands to his chest nervously, saying “Huh?”. /.End ID]

little panel from chapter 2 of my fic where Atsushi accidentally wakes chuuya up at 5 am and so he just, gets ready for work while atsushi follows him around awkwardly

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Chuuya from Bungo Stray Dogs. Chuuya sits up from a nightmare, shirtless and sweaty. A frightened, exhausted expression is on his face as tears come from his eyes, and one hand runs through his hair. Atsushi, not seen, groggily says, “Chuuya-san?” /.End ID]

okay okay so i drew this in class, and like, the main point is chuuya waking up from a nightmare, but no one would shut up about him being titties out. yall that’s not the point. listen yes he’s not wearing a shirt, yes, but look at him. trauma. bam.

also i have only had to draw naked people for class and my brain hasnt properly connected on how to draw shirtless people, so this is the best i can do for now until i figure it out :)

the original sketch page from class:

[Image ID: A sketchbook page with traditional drawings of all the previous digital drawings. Dazai, Chuuya, and Atsushi are the only Bungo Stray Dogs characters on this page. /.End ID]

for anyone who is curious, my fic is A Motorcycle Isn’t Too Fast For a Tiger. the whole thing is a hypothetical of ‘what if chuuya was on the motorcycle in the first scene of bsd and atsushi went after it’, and its literally just,,, atsushi becomes chuuya’s housecat

i am also going insane as i consume more and more stormbringer content. already violently feeling like i have to rewrite what i’ve already posted and fighting that urge back with a stick :’)

currently working on creating manga-esque images for the fic because i am quite literally insane. i also have a version of one of the images that’s more in my style in progress, so i’ll post that as well when the time comes (currently debating about whether he’ll be in anime colors or manga colors. might do both because i feel unhinged enough for that)

i drew all these last night instead of sleeping

2024 media thread PART OCTOBER

2th October: Sonic The Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island

so i've never, in my entire life, read a Sonic comic- even though i've been eyeing them for literal years at this point, i just. never got around to it. and i remember when this mini-series dropped, i was like 'oh? 👀' because i am nothing if not weak for (vaguely) spooky settings, so at some point or another i bought it, didn't get around to it for a bit, and then, finally- sat down and read it today

and yeah. yeah. i like this. i would, literally, die for Mecha Sonic, and i guess? i have to buy the IDW Collections now??

it's kind of hard to judge all of Sonic (IDW) comics just from one mini-series, but it did very much pull me in, and the art was genuinely gorgeous- like, woah! some of those scenes! i especially like the indoor scenes, really leaning into the spookiness there, and also i really like how the scrapnik looks... funky little friends 🥺

funnily enough, i think the character i liked the least is Sonic, but i'm kind of compelled by that? like, i'm nowhere near as deep in the Sonic hole as i want, but i kind of like the fact that he's a bit of a jerk. it adds charm <3

also i love Tails. like. i absolutely adore Tails. he's my sweet baby boy, and i can't wait to see more of him (since i likely won't see Mecha...), he is literally perfect

anyway, uh. good comic! yay! :D

5th October: The Amazing Digital Circus 3

man, TADC really just keeps on putting out bangers, and- in my humble opinion- this one is the best one so far

like first of all, love the setting and genre use here. it's not too spooky or anything, so people unused to horror can still watch along, but it's still really well done horror, and it's perfectly balanced with TADC's usual comedy. also the monster design- chef's fucking KISS. love the reveal at the end, it's so fun

secondly, rather obviously- THE KINGER FOCUS. god damn, they really hit it out of the park there- he's very obviously In Focus, but he doesn't overtake Pomni's spot as main character, and i really like how we're learning about him with Pomni. it's very charming, and really centralizes her as the main character. like. we are on this journey with her

also i just love him. like let me make that clear. Kinger i love you and i would kill for you

Zooble's wasn't as focused on, which is kind of sad, since they likely won't get an episode to themselves, though we can hope for more focus. on the other hand, i really like the dynamic they had with Cain, and using that as a way to let us see more of Cain was a real treat

it's honestly just such a good episode. like. TADC continues being nothing but genuine peak, and i cannot wait to watch more of it! good fucking show

9th October: Dome Keeper

oh Dome Keeper, i wish i liked you more than i do. there is, for sure, a really good game here- it's not very positive on steam for nothing, after all- but i simply did not click with it

like, i did put 30 something hours into it. i absolutely got my money's worth. but i'm already starting to forget about it entirely, leaving only vaguely bored memories of it behind... quite honestly, i just don't think i was the target audience, here

i do wish i liked it more, though. lovely atmosphere, mining is rather chill, and the base defending -while not a genre i particularly like- was a good enough combination of chill and tense. it was just not meant to be 😔

10th October: The Boy and the Heron

thinking back on it now, writing this after like, twenty days, the Boy and the Heron truly didn't hit as hard for me as i wanted it to

it's not a bad movie- it's a great movie, even, because it is nothing if not a Ghibli classic, and i think anyone who likes animation should watch it, immediately, but... i don't know. something about it makes me wrinkle my nose a little, looking back. it almost feels too busy, too full of its own ideas- none of the relationships between Mahito and the others really hit, not even the one that truly should have, no matter what. i liked the characters, i loved the world, but somehow it just.. didn't hit me

plus, the ending left me feeling kind of flat. like, i get what they were going for, i see the vision, but it personally just... didn't accomplish what it meant to accomplish

haha, i feel like i have to reiterate- great movie. like, it's Ghibli. as much as i'm nitpicking at it now, it was a great watch, and definitely one that's going to be remembered, down the line. just not a personal fave

13th October: The Wild Robot

man. this is such a good fucking movie

like. i knew it was gonna be good- i ended up going to see it specifically because everyone was gushing about it on the twitters, but, like. man. this is such a good fucking movie

i honestly don't have a lot to say about it, other than, like. this is with a family (animated) movie should be. it's such a perfect example of a Good Movie, with such genuine heart and so much love poured into it, and just. yeah. that's the good shit

i know some people wasn't overly fond of the ending, but at least personally, i think it was the right ending. like, it felt very fitting for the story, and could lead into a sequel. which isn't something i'm personally hankering for, but the book does have one, so, hey, that could be fun

but other than that, yeah, i don't have a lot to say? it's a really good movie

19th October: Niichan (by Harada)

i'm kind of waffling about how to properly talk about Nii-chan, because it is very much a manga about the relationship between an adult and a child, but it's also very much outside of reality, like. it's not unrealistic, exactly, but the ending is very much a fantasy, and one i really rather like, but at the same time, it does address the grooming aspect rather realistically, at least at first, but also, just. it's a yaoi. hmm

i do really like this short series. i like how it starts, and how it develops, and i like how it ends, and yes, it's fucked up, but that's the charm of it- the fact that Yui (the child) falls in love with Kei (the adult), and gets to stay in love with him, would in reality be beyond fucked up, but in the realm of fiction, it's. sweet

i saw someone interpret it as more of a work about the 'specific agony that comes from being considered “disgusting” to society, especially the disgust shown to direct or indirect victims of abuse who behave deviantly', and i do think that's more accurate than taking it Deeply Serious as a work about grooming. even if i did not read the actual essay lol

OH, ALSO. DEEPLY IMPORTANT. there's a really charming and delightful female character in this, and i love her so much; the way she sticks by Yui even as she finds Kei disgusting, is so very cute, and i'm deeply enamoured with her. Maiko <3 you are the queen of this whole story <3

i do wish we had a proper translation for this one, since the one i read was... messy. and it's a great work! as much as it touches on deeply taboo subject, i think it's fascinating, and extremely well-written, and also the art is a treat

19th October: Tenchi Muyo OVA series 1

i don't really like harem anime. like, i don't hate the genre, but in general, i find it deeply boring and bland, and unless an anime sounds really interesting, or i've heard amazing things, i am just. not going to watch it

and yet. Tenchi Muyo

at some point not too long ago, but still far enough back it's probably been at least a year, i watched a video on one of the anime series. and said video had praise. and despite myself, i was interested- so fast forward to now, more or less, and i decided- hey. there's a six episode OVA. i could watch that

and oh boy, am i glad i did, because Tenchi Muyo slaps

it is, genuinely, such a great little series- the animation is nice, the writing is surprisingly good, the characters are great, and despite feeling a little bit all over the place, the plot is interesting and engaging. like, it's no wonder this was such a hit back in the day, because i am charmed

and despite being a harem, it barely feels like one- Tenchi isn't a pervert, and is instead a surprisingly normal guy, who has just found himself in the most bonkers situation, and is doing his best to handle it- like, he's nice! he's endearing in his normality! i would pet him gently on the head!! and while there is a whole lot of women around him, none of it feels forced, or particularly in your face

also, the only real romance genuinely seems to be between Ryouko, Tenchi, and Ayeka, despite what Mihoshi and the branding would have you believe. and i'm pretty sure those three will eventually figure it out and kiss about it. they got those poly vibes

also, importantly- the female characters. like holy shit, i love these gals. i am genuinely, still, surprised at how well-written these girls are. they're genuinely such great characters, and i am really looking forward to coming back to them, at some point down the line

like Tenchi Muyo is just- it's just good. it's definitely one of those classics that shouldn't be forgotten, and deserves to be remembered, because they were cooking some good fucking food, here. it's great <3

30th October: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

i did not mean to take a month to finish this dang game, but such it is, and, unsurprisingly- it's good

like. it's Nintendo. it's Zelda. of course it's good. it's charming, it's fun, it's got an interesting gameplay mechanic at its core, there really is not much else to say

i do think i would have personally preferred a more typical Zelda, but that's not really related to anything other than personal preference. i like stabbing and slashing and jumping around, and while i think the mechanic is neat, it's not one that personally appeals

i do think it's a very smart take on a playable Zelda, because it's unique (and therefore gives us a reason to actually play as her, outside of 'i would like to') and does fit into the whole. wisdom role. she has. i do wish the menu was. better. because holy shit, it's so bad, but apparently TOTK (<- has not played it) has the same problem, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there's obviously not a lot of story or anything, it's a Zelda, but it's got the usual charm and energy, and i really liked the characters. it's such a joyful little world to explore, and even when i was forcing myself to Lock In, i was very much having fun. also i would kill an entire nation for Condé

31th October: Late Homework

a little horror snack! for my Halloween!!

genuinely a fantastic little game that i had a great time with, even if it wasn't particularly long or difficult. like, it's just a good time! a little spooky! amazing atmosphere! absolutely fantastic lowpoly graphics!! there is nothing here NOT to love, and i definitely don't regret buying it for a second

there's also a bunch of costumes to find, and some score chasing you can do, including an option for a harder difficulty, so there's definitely a little bit of replayability here! it's generally not my thing, but maybe i'll do it with this one... it's such a neat little game :]

also there's a bonus secret folder in the game that shows you low res cat pictures, and i think that's the most genius idea i've ever seen. please. devs. do more of that. i wanna see your cats (other pets also allowed)
