So Descendants of Darkness randomly popped up in my head again. That (and these two showing up in my dream for some reason) motivated me to paint this.

[bumpylines]

A collection of Yami no Matsuei doodles from a fic I never finished. The basic story is that Hisoka finishes up in the imaginary world and his and Tsuzuki's help is requested in Kamakura, bc it's such a mess there Tatsumi and Watari needed backup lol so here's some scenes I illustrated.

First: they needed to draw Yatonokami out of the house to properly take it on in battle. It was Hisoka's job to act as bait and lure him out- to great success, for better or worse.

Next: some villager or the mayor or whatever (all the villagers saw the fight bc it was outside) is like Ohh he's like Ren reincarnated :D and nagare's like pls no (oh yeah Nagare knows the truth that Hisoka, as well as Tatsumi, Watarai, and Tsuzuki are all shinigami at this point). Nagare does not appreciate Hisoka's little remark lol

Finally: the village holds a party! It's hard to read maybe, so they're saying "A celebration for the continued banishment of Yatonokami, and the return of our heir!" They were all told Hisoka's death was a lie, to protect him while he recuperated from his illness away from the house.

Hisoka is worrying about how to get out of this, meanwhile Tsuzuki is just looking forward to the celebration feast haha

It looks amazing like I genuinely thought that it's from the manga-

"I decided a long time ago that my place to return to is here by your side only"

[s-tellans]

the way i would give anything for a yami no matsuei reboot just so it could be animated in the gorgeous original art style

hisoka looked so beautiful and tsuzuki had those terribly sexy giant shoulders of 90s anime like they were always serving

@stardstschlar continue from here

Over time, Jotaro had managed to learn that both he and the Shinigami had much in common. There were still some things that they had differences in, like: Tsuzuki had a major sweet tooth, the Joestsr was not very big on sweets. Their age differences; the other man would have been well into old age by this point, and here Jotaro was in his mid-40's. The things they had in common? Really fucked up minds because of trauma. And they simply understood one another. While the brunette was the more talkative of the two, they still hadn't needed to say much to one another for them to get what was happening. The Joestar also happened to notice just how close they were getting, and that scared him more than anything. He was well aware of his track record with people, but the Shinigami had been...different. He was kind, accepting, and willing to give. But he'd also been completely broken by a man that Jotaro still wanted to throat punch and end with his own hands. No one had deserved to go through what either of them had gone through, much less the torment that his companion had been subject to.

Jotaro had one of his own spiraling days. One of those days where everything in his head had become too much to bear, too much to push back. He didn't want the other seeing him in such a state so he did the best thing he could do; pull back and hide. The raven haired stand user was standing outside of a hotel room, the balcony being a safe spot for him to catch a breath and work through his thoughts. The itching need for a cigarette rising, though there wasn't a store close enough and he didn't want to break that streak. Footsteps sounded from behind, a gentle touch placed to his bicep pulled the man from his thoughts. A confused look upon his features as he faced Tsuzuki, teals searching the other man's face. Why was he out here? Had Jotaro done something wrong again? Not seeing any signs that the Shinigami was upset with him, the Joestar hesitantly raised a hand to grasp the one upon his arm. "You shouldn't be out here." He spoke up, giving a gentle squeeze to the hand before pulling his own away. There was a risk in letting the other into his mind, one he wasn't willing to take for fear of losing the other. It was only fair he keep the other man at a distance, wasn't it? Like he had always fonr to everyone else in his life. So then; why was he not pushing more for Tsuzuki to go back inside? "You really...don't want to be near me right now." Jotaro murmured, a tremble running through him.

Hearing that statement; 'I let my actions speak for themselves,' that had certainly made the Joestar look back at the Shinigami in surprise. Tsuzuki had wanted to be near him, to offer a comfort that neither one had been offered much of in the past. Taking a deep breath his hand raised again to grasp the other man's, gently pulling it from his arm only to hold it between two larger hands. "Is...Is this okay?"

Realization  over  their  common  point  has  been  a  step  who  mostly  generated  an  deep  fondness,  each  time  he  was  recalling  their  mutual  situation.  Something  who  also  created  further  awareness  about  how,  silently,  he  came  to  catch  up  …  feelings.  Emotions  he  wanted  to  lose  himself  in,  but  at  the  same  time,  doing  what  was  necessary  mentally  to  not  feel  like  he  was  entering  a  forbidden  space  and  crossing  a  line  he  shouldn't.  Opening  Pandora's  box,  whether  abruptly  or  gently,  could  reduce  the  hope  inside,  and  he  didn't  want  to  ruin  his  relationship  with  him  by  imposing  emotions  he  probably  didn't  feel.  Nothing  would  really  be  the  same  when  everything  will be  said  clearly,  huh  ?  Almost,  he  could  have  been  ready  to  bring  up  his  past  relationship  with  Tatsumi-san  over  that  point  ---  once  admitted,  these  emotions  would  have  to  been  embraced  and  assumed  in  one  way  or  another,  and  from  his  own  traumatic  memories,  it  would  be  an  matter  of  time  until  his  behavior  causes  …  weariness.  Well,  he  was  scared  it  might  be  the  case  once  more,  that  for  sure.  Hisoka-kun  presence  remind  him  always  it  wasn't  going  to  be  what  going  to  happens,  that  no  matter  how  he  could  feel  down  or  not  feeling  at  best  mentally,  he  was  going  to  be  rejected  on  the  second.  There  was  that  trust  if  someday  he  needed  distance  from  him,  for  whatever  reason,  it  wouldn't  mean  it  has  been  something  he  caused.  Concerning  feelings  topic,  his  brain  turned  inside  an  intensive  mess,  in  which  acompagnied  fear  to  not  be  enough  or  be  reduced  to  an  single  body  tourmented  his  brain.  He  just  became  …  attached  …  in  an  manner  he  didn't  wanted  to  explain  himself.  He  wanted  Jotaro-kun  to  be  happy  on  his  presence,  to  be  happy  in  general,  to  embracing  his  life  as  he  should  be  …  the  longer  he  could  …  the  longer  his  presence  in  return  will  not  be  some  kind  of  annoyance.  A  long  time  ago,  evolution  concerning  Hisoka-kun  and  Hijiri-kun  relationship  who  became  close,  who  wished  to  remain  together  no  matter  how  usually  Shinigami  laws  worked,  has  been  making  him  temporary  wish  to  touch  same  happiness  of  Hisoka-kun.  In  which,  actually,  he  perceived  Pandora's  box  been  exposed  when  poor  Hijiri-kun  trapped  in  middle  of  the  Witch  of  Illusions  business  defended  Hisoka-kun  getting  another  time  martyrized.  An  working  partner  who  had  to  realize  he  had  feelings,  and  admit  them  publicly,  after  becoming  seriously  offended  by  seductive  attempts  of  a  kid wishing oral confirmation.

Oldest  antecedent  of  a  relationship  he  had  had  had  been  Tatsumi-san,  in  which  his  dark  thoughts  had  been  too  much,  and  his  guilt  as  a  Shinigami  had  pushed  him  to  remain  distant,  where  everything  that  had  happened  remained  behind  him.  Otherwise,  there  was  Muraki.  He  didn't  even  wanted  to  bouce  back  mentally  over  the  second  point.  He  had  lost  all  hope  of  ever  being  wanted,  having  known  a  man  who  had  indeed  wanted  him,  physically,  sexually,  fully  ---  but  not  in  sweetest  of  final  objectives,  which  had  almost  pushed  him  to  want  to  disappear.  Compared  to  Hisoka-kun  who  was  young  but  could  compromise  all  the  seriousness  of  his  work,  he  carried  the  weight  of  his  job  and  his  identity  as  a  Shinigami.  He  might  looking  young,  but  he  had  been  in  this  job  for  a  long  time,  and  remained  semblance  of  an  adult,  because  without  Hisoka-kun,  little  administrative  things  would  be  difficult  to  sort  out.  He  had  only  told  himself  that  if  he  could  weaken  the  weight  of  Jotaru-kun's  traumas  for  a  single  moment,  that  he  could  feel  more  free  from  all  the  pressure  he  had  experienced,  that  he  could  touch  something  else  from  what  he  had  experienced,  he  would  have  served  some  purpose.  Focusing  on  that  kept  him  from  wanting  to  ask  for  more  than  he  could  afford  to  receive,  or  from  subjecting  him  to  the  imposition  of  unsolicited  emotions.  He  even  tried  avoid  his  depressive  phases  to  be  oppressive.

Long  experience  he  had  with  Hisoka-kun,  especially  afterwards  the  Witch  of  Illusions,  made  him  immediately  alert  whenever  something  was  wrong.  He  personally  avoided  showing  all  the  distress  of  the  days  when  he  wasn't  well,  contenting  himself  with  remaining  in  his  thoughts  and  remaining  a  little  distant,  but  without  giving  the  impression  that  it  had  been  his  fault.  After  suffering  from  a  mirror  continually  reflecting  his  own  behavior,  any  sign  was  looked  at  carefully,  seeking  the  middle  ground  for  action.  Hence,  automatically,  he  wanted  to  show  he  was  here.  Automatically,  he  wanted  bring  that  natural  reassurance  in  which  these  darkest  thoughts  would  be  away,  limiting  about  what  he  could  confess  concerning  concerned  feelings  he  had.  He  had  been  lucky  to  have  come  across  such  a  compassionate  person  who  wanted  to  provide  justice  similar  to  that  of  his  working  partner,  who  didn't  hold  it  against  him  for  being  who  he  was,  and  who  didn't  carry  any  additional  guilt  for  being  a  Shinigami.  It  was  something  he  could  try  to  thank  him  for  day  after  day.  During  that  time,  since  he  was  pretty  much  reading  something  to  keep  up  to  date,  his  attention  was  fixed  on  him  when  he  went  to  take  refuge  on  the  balcony,  although  he  waited  a  few  seconds  before  advancing  a  little  closer.  He  was  used  to  this  situation  and  intended  to  give  him  time  to  decide  whether  he  wanted  to  explain  himself  or  not.  He  wanted  to  avoid  getting  the  wrong  idea  and  being  disappointed.  Despite  a  desire  to  imagine  that  he  would  take  the  news  in  a  good  light,  his  heart  already  shattered  by  Muraki  was  in  danger  of  collapsing  before  the  other  blow  imposed  on  a  brutally  broken  glass.  The  Witch  of  Illusions  witch  had  pushed  him  to  his  emotional  limit,  it  was  only  a  matter  of  time  before  all  his  illusions  would  shatter,  and  he  would  suffer  same  degrading  fate  as  Lelouch.  Compassionate  expression  was  offered  in  return,  in  which  purple  eyes  just  desired  to  making  him  better.  He  sensed  his  other  hand  into  his,  which  generated  an  smile,  though  there  was  that  fragment  of  instant  he  expected  him  to  push  that  away  ---  ❝  Why  shouldn't  I  ?  ❞  He  asked  gently,  in  which  there  was  an  passing  emotion  going  though  his  eyes  to  having  actually  that  hand  away.  It  was  an  question  without  been  an  question,  as  proximity  of  his  presence  could  be  warm  to  him.  Heaviness  concerning  Jotaro-kun  thoughts,  he  could  understand  that,  nevertheless,  if  he  had  no  clue  about  what  going  on  inside  his  brain,  he  was  limited  to  appease  him  physically  as  he  could.  ❝  Why  shouldn't  I ?  ❞  He  repeated  again,  with  same  patience  he  experienced  with  Hisoka-kun.  ❝  My  hands  can  soothe  all  darkness  you  feel  right  now,  if  you  are  willing  to  accept  them  …  ❞  Another  manner  to  showing  he  was  here.

Which  he  has  made  far  more  obvious  by  expressing  that  following  sentence,  in  which  he  noticed  surprise  back.  Did  it  has  been  so  bad  of  him,  to  wanting  to  reassure  him  at  the  moment  he  was  crumbling  inside  his  head  ?  He  would  have  wanted  someone  here  if  this  was  for  his  personal  case,  he  searched  to  thoughtfully  perceiving  circumstances  in  an  bright  side.  If  Jotaro-kun  let  him  in,  inside  his  own  mind,  inside  his  own  soul,  he  would  doing  his  best  for  removing  darkness  he  was  victim  of,  and  bring  all  brigtness  he  could  ---  only  if  he  wanted  to  let  him  in.  Perceiving  understanding  and  sort  of  thanking  towards  desired  support,  meanwhile  his  hands  returned  into  his,  in  which  he  sensed  himself  blushed  a  little,  that  time  around,  there  was  no  immediate  trembling  from  his  hand.  He  wanted  instead  oppossing  tremor  stop.  It  would  never  be  like  Muraki  coming  from  his  hands,  to  whom  softness  was  indeed  first  emotion  he  felt.  He  nodded,  to  which  same  hand  trapped  in  his  sought  to  bring  desired  comfort  in  a  perceptible  innocence.  ❝  Your  touch  is  constantly  gentle,  and  you  need  it  more  than  I  do  right  now  ...  if  I can.  ❞

Goods  news  ---  it  wasn't  the  Witch  of  Illusions,  it  wasn't  Alois  Trancy,  it  wasn't  worse  case  scenario  in  which  that  kid  would  have  meddled  already  outside  Meifu,  meaning  they  would  have  an  higher  spheres  problem,  and  possibly  suffering  larger  consequences  for  little  administrative  service  they  represented  !  Bad  news  ---  coming  from  discreete  monotoring  experience  they  had  currently  on  that  boy,  by  the  simple  presence  of  Lelouch  vi  Britannia,  it  was  confirming  than  Hades-sama  was  ALREADY  around,  and  it  was  an  matter  of  time  until  they  met  both.  Bad  news  ---  if  Lelouch  vi  Britannia  was  already  there,  and  hadn't  yet  presented  himself  to  the  Meifu,  it  would  mean,  Shinigami  as  he  was,  he  might  perceiving  with  his  two  eyes,  his  influence  inside  another  sphere  of  their  own  job  before  dealing  with  them  …  meaning  he  might  not  been  at  his  best  mentally,  in  which  they  would  have  to  preparing  that  kid  to  be  polite  at  least  one  second  with  the  tutor  he  run  away  from  …  Composed  features  searched  to  remain.  However,  betraying  embarasssement  was  present  instead,  nodding  in  confirmation,  laughing  towards  immediate  experienced  panic  at  the  second.  Faster  illusion  at  his  reach  was  to  assume  there  could  be  someone  else  associated  to  noblesse  sphere  having  purple  eyes  …  not  that  he  knew  that  many,  and  they  weren't  a  lot  …  well  …  who  resonated  like  Lelouch  did.  ❝  It  did.  Someone  called  Lelouch,  I  suppose  ?  ❞   He  dared  to  check  regardless.  It  was  impossible  to  imposing  an  name  associated  to  his  first  name.  He  rarely  introducing  himself  as  Lelouch  vi  Britannia,  and  though  the  name  Lamperouge  was  safe  to  use,  it  was  depending  if  his  name  has  been  told.  If  he  actually  desired  to  interfere  …  Within  awareness  of  both  dads  coming,  that  time  around,  no,  they  weren't  going  to  watch  directly  ---  because  their  observers  would  comment  everything.  No  panicking, no  panicking   !

There  was  an  moment  of  silence,  as  it  returned  inside  reassuring  sphere  of  the  job.  Well  …  in  which  he  could  sympathizing  with  the  subject,  without  having  all  informations  at  his  hand.  ❝  Hmmm  …  ❞   Having  another  anomaly  at  the  office  didn't  helped  at  all  to  giving  him  a  straight  answer  without  risking  to  cause  an  disaster  in  long-term.  Concerning  Hijiri-kun  being  another  anomaly,  it  was  better  if  only  couple  of  people  knew  about  circumstances.  Business  around  Shirou  Kamui  was  complicated  topic,  when  the  view  had  to  been  perceived  concerning  timelines  possibilities,  and  how  Fates  threads  were  woven  around  Hinoto-sama  …  something  he  was  rather  observer  of  than  an  player,  and  again,  connected  to  Lelouch.  ❝  It's  unusual  that  a  Shinigami  can  touch  everything  at  once  …  ❞   For  a  witch,  touching  the  human  and  witch  side  was  normal,  but  with  Alois  Trancy,  that  divine  side  was  accentuated  by  Hades-sama  and  something  in  his  presence …  was  something  he  avoided  thinking  about  too  much.  ❝  Those  who  can  touch  the  three  realms  have  special  aspects  ? ❞   He  would  need  to  ask  Chief  Konoe  to  get  more  informations  about  state  of  Soul  Society.  Now  he  was  wrapped  inside  that  part  of  his  job,  there  was  an  high  possibility  he  might  exploring  more  ---  in  which  he  would  doing  everything  he  could  for  spare  them  of  the  Witch  of  Illusions.  Nevertheless,  questioning  he  had  about  how  a  Shinigami  could  reach  such  ascension,  brought  the  remembrances  coming  from  the  Witch  of  Illusions.  He  couldn't  heard  the  term  sacrifice,  or  taking  risks  without  thinking  about  him.  He  was  an  physical  remembrance  of  that.  Alois  Trancy  was  a  physical  remembrance  he  had  sacrificed  himself  on  the  altar  as  a  manipulative  move,  and  achieved  to  get  exactly  what  he  wanted  by  using  manipulative  games  of  his  fathers  …  Muraki's  thought  came  back  to  him  only  a  few  seconds  later,  and  he  didn't  want  it  to  happen  to  him.  ❝  It  depends  on  desires  that  wish  to  be  manifested  in  the  world.  I  understand  perfectly.  My  embarrassment  comes  from  a  clear  understanding.  ❞   Should  he  talk  about  it,  even  indirectly ?  ❝  Uh,  sometimes  a  witch  can  get  caught  up  in  a  desire  for  revenge  so  strong  that  despite  being  been an  Shinigami,  it's  terrifying  …  their  feelings  around  hide  …  uh  …  hidden  mirrors.  ❞   Everything  was  reflection  around  the  Witch  of  Illusions.  He  couldn't  talk  about  how  his  current  issue  was  an  result  of  an  willing  SACRIFICE.  He  neither  didn't  wanted  to  remember  how  he  almost  get  sacrificed  on  an  altar  for  satisfy  madness  of  an  man.

❝ He has dark hair and purple eyes. Perhaps that will answer your question? ❞ He is the only other visitor to come to the Soul Society so far. Though, it seemed that all of these visitors were connected to one another in a vast network of sorts. All of them seem connected and he got the sense that more visitors will be showing up. There is a far larger world out there, something like a vast sea that all of these visitors traversed. The way they spoke was intriguing to say the least.

❝ Ichigo is something of an anomaly. I have not seen someone like him in my lifetime. He is the only one I know of to have touched all three realms in the way he has. ❞

Byakuya thinks about the troubles plaguing the Soul Society. In the manner in which his visitor spoke, he thinks about Aizen. Aizen was known to be a genius and extremely powerful. His power was unmatched until Ichigo's existence. Well, that man played the Soul Society like a fiddle ----- as if he were the game master writing the script of this tale. A force of interference that altered the course of history in order to try and ascend to greater heights. It was well known that his power influenced the way the soul Society grew. His power was so great it caused tremors.

❝ I have heard that if you are willing to make the sacrifice and task risk that such things can be made reality. Kurosaki Ichigo often speaks his desires aloud as if they are an oath to be sworn to himself. In that manner, he manifests his will into existence. ❞

[tozettastone]

Okay, episode 3 of Trinity Blood and then I'm going to take the rubbish out and do laundry and stuff.

Note 1: These female characters sure cry a lot. Jessica cries. Elise cries. Esther cries. So far, every episode, like clockwork: a new girl who cries. Is this the way this series is going to tell us if a female character is supposed to be regarded positively by the audience? She feels bad and cries..? Let us brace for the worst but hope for the best.

Note 2: This guy's, like, a dhampir or some shit? but he also controls post-apocalypse Hungary?

Gyula immediately announces that he has a very Henry VIII understanding of how his local clergy should behave with respect to the Vatican. Given that the Vatican in this series is armed to the teeth, I definitely can't see that going poorly for anyone ever. Just not gonna worry about that, I'm sure that'll end well.

Abel "Don't worry I see all of us as human!" Nightroad presents as though he's meant to be read as, hm, pure and sweet about it. But if he didn't think Gyula was basically just as persony as everyone else, that would certainly throw into doubt his own personhood. Considering whatever he is, this perspective is basically just self preservation coming from him.

Still, given the character archetype with which we're presented in Abel, I shall assume self preservation isn't a feature. So far he reminds me a great deal of Tsuzuki Asato, from Yami no Matsuei. We will find out if he shares similar character beats as we go! (There's already traumatic flashbacks and hints of past tragedy, of course. He's a 00s shoujo man, after all.)

I like that he managed to get arrested by the corrupt military police, like, on request. That's a lot of extra work for them, Abel. They're going to have to explain that choice to their weird boss. So they're doing you... a favour... that you asked for...? I guess?

Anyway the crying female character's friend got shot and she cries about getting him killed and she gets arrested for murder.

I can only hope that the ongoing saccharine sweetness of these sobbing female characters — somehow even when they're murderers — is going to be either revealed to be an amusing ruse or at least offset by more of the beautiful Caterina being... not like that. I think she's meant to be read as kind of a bitch but she's really just the only person in the Vatican holding a braincell right now.

But again: hoping, bracing, etc.

So at the end of episode 3, Abel is arrested. Gyula is up to... something with the mysterious eastern empire, and the Vatican is contemplating wiping him off the map. Esther, we must sincerely hope, is up to something. Nods.
