DON'T FALL IN LOVE

Capinha disponível pra adoção!

Shinomiya X Ichikawa from Kaiju no8

As meninas me converteram ao fandom de Kaiju e eu fui obrigada a sair da minha aposentadoria e lutar mesmo sem enxergar depois que a Juh mandou essas artes pra gente. Me aguardem voltando em algum momento da minha vida com mais capinhas da obra, pois terei que estar fazendo 🙊 no mais, na minha cabeça eles fazem muito sentido sendo o clichê dos amigos do prota que viram casal, e assim será até que o mangá mude minha mente.

Regras e condições:

1. Prazo mínimo de uso: 3 meses.

2. Se for escritor do Vanguardpjct e quiser adotar a capa, basta pedir para adicionar a marca d'água.

3. Não se esqueça de dar os créditos ao capista.

Reno and Kikoru art. Been seeing this ship is getting slightly more popular. I shipped them for a while actually. Jesus loves you :)

I CANT BELIEVE I DIDN'T SEE THIS SOONER?!

PFFT "capable man examiner" is that what we're calling it now?

While everyone else is playing checkers, Reno plays chess. My boy will never get caught lacking (except with horror films, apparently).

It's time for Edo period Reno~!!

I wanted him to have more of a 'proper' samurai look at first glance (in contrast to the short-haired Hoshina and Kafuka), so I gave him a classic ponytail ^^ Of course, as in the canon series, he's much more against the grain upon close inspection.

Reno is fairly skilled with a sword. That said, he greatly prefers using a matchlock when able.

He's been serving the Shinomiya family since he came of age at 15. Shinomiya Kikoru frequently requests his presence for matters big and small. It's a pain to follow her around, but Reno keeps those complaints to himself... most of the time.

Reno's grandmother was of the Ainu people living in Ezo (Hokkaido) who married into his grandfather's Ichikawa family. She and his parents passed away when Reno was still small.

Reno worked hard on his own and is seemingly very competent, but with no one around to teach him the little things in life - certain rules and customs everyone else finds obvious - he's lacking in a few 'common sense' areas. It's partly thanks to this that he's able to befriend Kafuka so easily.

Why the Ainu?

I wanted something that would connect my AU Reno to his ice affinity in the canon storyline, while also giving a vague explanation for his unique hair and eyes. My mind immediately went to snowy Hokkaido, or Ezo as it would have been called during the Edo period. Early in this period (around, say, the Meireki era) trade between the Japanese and Ainu people was on an exponential rise - so marriages wouldn't have been unheard of. By making Reno of mixed descent, it also gives him a stronger emotional tie to AU Kikoru. Speaking of ties...

Ebisu - god of fishermen, wealth and luck - was cast into the sea as an infant. He later washed onto the shores of Ezo, where he was cared for by the Ainu people.

At least, that's one of the more common accounts!! These tales are ever changing after all. I quite liked this connection in any case, so if Reno were to receive a godly blessing similar to Mina and Kikoru, it would come from Ebisu. Ebisu may not be a god of battle, but he is a lucky god and more importantly, he is a resilient god. Ebisu was abandoned by his mother Izanami, and in his struggle became one of the most revered gods of Japan. Reno has similarly struggled, adapted and persevered - and will continue to do so on the battlefield.

Furthermore... as a god of wealth and Izanami's first-born, Ebisu's blessing is likely what tied Reno to the Shinomiya family from the start - and to Kikoru in particular.

Thanks for putting up with my rambling, hope some folks enjoyed ^^;;;

~Edo period Kikoru-sama~

The wealthy daughter of a warrior turned daimyo, Kikoru is of Dutch descent via a political marriage made to strengthen trading ties. Nearly all importation of the latest foreign weaponry and medicine needed to combat kaiju is overseen by the Shinomiya family, making them quite important.

In this AU, Kikoru doesn't start out as a proper fighter. Though she's trained with various weapons and martial arts, Kikoru has not experienced real battle and the soldiers always go easy on her when asked to spar.

While Isao remains distant and is often away for both business and battle, Kikoru has a slightly warmer relationship with him due to the altered circumstances of her childhood. After he's killed by a powerful kaiju, Kikoru awakens to a godly blessing not unlike Ashiro no Mikoto and resolves to take up arms.

Kikoru feels a bit out of place at times thanks to her mixed heritage (not that she'd ever admit it). As such, she's particularly drawn to a young samurai in her family's employ named Reno who is also of mixed descent.

Though I said previously that I wouldn't go into details on the godly aspect of this AU, thinking of which kami would give different characters favor has become too much fun... so I'm just going to go ahead and indulge myself!! So, who would Kikoru receive power from?

Izanami, goddess of the underworld.

While she's largely known as such, Izanami is first and foremost a creator goddess, the mother goddess from whom many of Japan's primary kami were made. It would be quite fitting then, I think, that Kikoru's mother also had Izanami's blessing. Taking Kikoru's "no one dies while I'm on the battlefield" line to the extreme, I think luck of this variety would likely be the nature of her blessing - but it wouldn't cover the wielder herself. Meaning Hikari still loses her life in battle much like in the main series.

Instead of raising her to be a fighter, Isao deters Kikoru from following in her mother's footsteps to the point of lying about Hikari's role as a warrior altogether. So Kikoru grows up safe and restless, eager to act but lacking in real power. Only after she experiences death - the death of her father - does the goddess of death herself take notice.

Edo period Reno by @nocandnc !!

Okay okay. I might be a bit biased because Reno is my favourite kn8 character. but!!!! I had to if it meant I got to draw a cool sword pose. (I gave up on the bg and blurred an image from Google)

Not sure if this looks accurate lol, but I'm a sucker for period pieces so that also fueled into this >< (+ngl i thought this AU Reno lowkey looked like Kiyoka Kudo from MHM so I may have accidentally deviated from the AU design a bit,,,)

Bonus doodles under the cut!!

[quinowskie]

[quinowskie]

AU where these two are childhood friends,,, oh my heart.....

I'll probably make more of these because it's that good
