A Celebrity Crush(ed)

author: @indelibleme artist: @bakathief beta: @rux363 @sliverofstars @justrandomthings1234-blog rating: T warnings: Canon-typical murder, mild language summary: Celebrities don’t interest Kudo Shinichi. He comes from a family of celebrities; in fact, he is a minor celebrity himself. But the one living next door seems to get into one too many shenanigans for his peace of mind. Which really wouldn’t be an issue, if the latest one didn’t happen to involve a dead body. > Or, in which Kaito goes from being darling of the entertainment media to scourge of the internet in no time at all, hounded by paparazzi, only to find solace in the utter indifference of his neighbour… until he gets involved in a murder.

Fanart of Shadow Chase for the amazing and talented @bakathief. 💕🍀

Your comic and general attitude regarding art (just do it!) inspired me to get back into drawing again. I wanted to thank you for that. :)

Summary: Celebrities don’t interest Kudo Shinichi. He comes from a family of celebrities; in fact, he is a minor celebrity himself. But the one living next door seems to get into one too many shenanigans for his peace of mind. Which really wouldn’t be an issue, if the latest one didn’t happen to involve a dead body.

Or, in which Kaito goes from being darling of the entertainment media to scourge of the internet in no time at all, hounded by paparazzi, only to find solace in the utter indifference of his neighbour… until he gets involved in a murder.

...

Finally, here is chapter 1 of my fic for this year’s @kaishinbigbang 2024!!

The art from which this fic was inspired by was made by the wonderful artist @bakathief!! Please check it out HERE! Go show it some love!!

(Excerpt under the cut)

...

Kaito tried to protest—

“Hold on, you’ve got this wrong! I didn’t even know he was dead until you told me just now! Hey, hey—stop, it’s not me!”

—but they didn’t deter them at all. Kaito breathed in desperately, panic creeping into his voice as he looked around for help. Murder? Arrested? He didn’t need to know what the percentage of acquittals were in their country to guess the outcome! And for the police to make an arrest, for there to be evidence backing this up—

“Matsuoka-keibu? What’s going on?”

Kaito’s head snapped up at that voice. Turning the curb from where the patrol car was parked, like a beacon of light piercing through stormy clouds, was none other than Kudo Shinichi.

Been goin' a lil commission-happy lately! Because sometimes I just wanna pay OTHER people to draw Nakamori

From top to bottom we've got: @bakathief - This is on a small shikishi and it's hanging up on my wall, I wish I took a picture in better lighting because it does NOT do it justice. Bakathief does wizardry I swear

@whalefill - Just got this one today! Highly recommend, they were very fast and their commissions are going to a good cause. I knew just looking at their samples that they'd be great for drawing older characters and I love this style

Nauticalfoxcreations - Part of an art trade! He's just SO CUTE LOOK AT HIM AND HIS DOVE!!

@dee--eer - More NakaMouri! I I really love the subtle texture and the shading on the beer. Feels v unified with the colors, it's just so nice to look at :(

Myosotis by War_of_the_Words (Detective Conan & Magic Kaito | Kudou Shinichi/Edogawa Conan x Kuroba Kaito/Kaitou KID | Gen)

KID is a mysterious artist known for his mystifying paintings and their refusal to make a public appearance. Who are they? What is their purpose? People want answers, but before they can get any, KID produces one final piece of art before vanishing completely. Private Investigator Kudou Shinichi doesn't care about art, and has only heard a little about the case of the Phantom Artist KID from his friends. He is forced to take interest, however, when he comes to find out that KID's final painting bares a striking resemblance to himself. Now what would an artist like KID have to do with a detective?

How we begin by OrphanText (Magic Kaito | Hakuba Saguru x Kuroba Kaito/Kaitou KID | Teen+)

Hakuba calls in his favour from KID. It's not what KID thinks it is.

Pining by CynicalMistrust (Fukigen na Mononokean | Ashiya Hanae x Abeno Haruitsuki | Mature: violence & blood)

"Blink, dumbass." Hanae almost blinked, but he stopped himself, unable to pass up the chance to antagonize Abeno. Instead, he blinked twice and was rewarded with a sour look. Luckily for him, he was pretty sure Abeno wouldn't hit an injured and paralyzed patient in a hospital bed. Unfortunately, Abeno wasn't above picking up a pillow and smacking Hanae in the face with it, but it was a small price to pay.

Only A Boy by RiddellLee (Harry Potter & BBC Merlin (TV) | Teen+)

Merlin had fulfilled his destiny. Albion was alive and beautiful, and magic was no longer feared in the land. But nothing ever lasts, does it? Memories gone, and in his ten-year-old form once more, he's traveled over a thousand years in the future. Now, he has a new destiny: He has to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, hide the fact that he's Merlin, and defeat a Dark Lord that's messing with magic he knows nothing about.

hello my old heart by taizi (Natsume Yuujinchou | Gen)

Takashi thinks of the half-empty book upstairs, guarded by a ward strong enough to make the chuukyuu’s eyes water from the backyard. The secret that only half the people in the room are aware of. The wall between himself and everyone else that he built stone by stone by stone, to keep them— and himself— safe from inevitable hurt. “You don’t even know me,” Takashi blurts. Nishimura sits up. Kitamoto makes a grumbly noise and starts extracting himself from blankets. Shibata says “No no I finally got comfortable, Tanuma, come on,” but Tanuma is moving, too. Ogata says, in a kind, careful voice, “Natsume, of course we know you.” “Not everything,” Takashi insists, feeling his heart start to move a little faster. “You don’t— you don’t know everything.”

Playlist meme

Thanks for the tag, @solomonara!

Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, and then tag some ppl if you like!

My playlist is currently recovering from the festive season so... this should be interesting lol The only thing I can reliably predict is Taylor Swift. I would be shocked if, even with only 10 songs out of *checks* 271, I didn't get at least one Swizzle. The saturation is high.

Nobody by Selena Gomez

Jacob & Sons (Color of the Coat) by the original Canadian cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat

High Infidelity by Taylor Swift (ah HA! See, that didn't take long lol)

champagne problems by Taylor Swift (oh... are we just done with variety now? Am I about to be Very Exposed? lol)

You All Over Me by Taylor Swift (ok... it started as a joke but it's not funny anymore... oops lol)

Start of Something New from High School Musical

Your Move from YU-GI-OH! Music to Duel By (no, I'm not kidding. this is real.)

The Great War by Taylor Swift

Focus by Ariana Grande

Bang Bang Bang by Selena Gomez & The Scene

Keep in mind that this isn't just, like, every song I own. I chose these songs as ones I wanted to listen to at high frequency relatively recently. Yes. Even the yugioh song LOL

Would anyone like to play? @kiwilisland @katsukifatale @kaeviche @airu27 @sixclawsdragon @bakathief @kingdomoftyto @hiromiikunn @angelicsentinel

(Just had an unexpected emotional moment like... wait since when do I have people to tag... since when do I have FRIENDS??)

[indelibleme]

Back again this year for the @kaishinbigbang KSBB24 event with the wonderful @bakathief as my partner! Please check out their preview here!

Here's a short preview of the upcoming fic :

(Image text under the cut)

Kaito tried to protest—

...

(Excerpt from the Preface)

...

“Hold on, you’ve got this wrong! I didn’t even know he was dead until you told me just now! Stop, it’s not me!”

—but they didn’t halt at all. Kaito breathed in desperately, panic creeping into his voice as he looked around for help. Murder? Arrested? He didn’t need to know what the percentage of acquittals were in their country to guess at the outcome! And for the police to make an arrest, for there to be evidence backing this up—

“Inspector Matsuoka? What’s going on?”

Kaito’s head snapped up at that voice. Turning the curb from where the patrol car was parked, like a beacon of light piercing through stormy clouds, was none other than Kudo Shinichi.

Merry Christmas, Sui @bakathief!!!!!  ♪ (┏〇▽ ` )ﾉ｡.:*❉:･°ஐ Here’s your @dcmksecretsanta​ gift!! 🎁🎄💙

It’s kaishin going winter camping......but wait, it’s a fake relationship! (I’m not forgetting your prompt!) They’re going camping together to convince everyone that they’re dating. At first, they’re not actually dating, but then, amidst the beautiful snowy landscape, they end up having so much fun just being with each other. The rest, as they say, is history.

[dcmksecretsanta]

Mini-gift for @bakathief (┏〇▽ ` )ﾉ Featuring Kaito contemplating which route to choose! Kaishin or Kaiao? Decisions... Decisions...

[fure-dcmk]

smoke and mirrors

author: @kingdomoftyto artist: @bakathief beta: n/a rating: t warnings: fantasy violence, mind control, panic attack  summary: Kaito had always imagined that getting his hands on Pandora would mark the end of his quest. How, then, had he ended up in this unfamiliar castle, at the mercy of a man who shared the detective's face?

hi there! i think your style is very pretty so Number 2 from the ask game please ❤️

WOW umm that's a name I didn't expect to see in my inbox!!!

I know you didn't ask for this but if anyone is here because of my Kaishin doujin Breaking Stasis and you STILL haven't checked out bakathief's incredible Kaishin doujin Shadow Chase... well, this is your sign to do it!!

It's such a charming love letter to canon while also delving into the characters' psyche and by god it's got some of the FUNNIEST shenanigans ever. Like I started reading it thinking "well okay this is just some typical gay fanfiction but let's give this a whirl" (<- btw when I say it's a typical gay fanfiction I do NOT mean this in a derogatory way) and then it hits you with the most canon-loyal bomb hostage situation and you're like "Well!! that sure was something" and it goes back to being a very fanfiction-y doujin before it hits you AGAIN with the most stunningly illustrated case fic I've ever laid my eyes on. It's so clear to me that you love Detective Conan and Magic Kaito a lot and I genuinely LOVE what you're doing, and most of all I really admire you for your persistence through the years!! It's amazing seeing how much you've improved just by reading through Shadow Chase!!

Anyways. plug aside,,,

what’s your favorite thing about your style

If I'm going to be completely honest, I still feel like I haven't found my style yet... so if we put a positive spin on that, I like how versatile it is!

I'm not so bold as to claim I can draw everything I want to exactly the way I envision it, but I think I get pretty damn close, whether it's something serious or something silly or something silly in how serious it is. I have the range, basically!!

Thank you for the ask!!
