I’m gonna be obnoxious about this guys, I am soooo sorry 😅 I am just trying very hard to dig myself out of a financial hole while I am job hunting. I have my KoFi and my Patreon but also Venmo and PayPal. Anything helps, fr.
I do have Comms open, as well! 2 slots right now with 3 different tier options. 💖 share this around too, if you can. Thank you!

It's Christmas Eve and Leon can't quite wrap his head around his drop-dead-gorgeous girlfriend's need to be 4 inches off the ground, but maybe there's more to your fashion choices than what he considers a faux pas.
Tumblr media
f / m, established relationship, tooth ROTTING fluff, the barest baby twinge of angst and surprise ending ehehehe. also, super short!
word count: 898 // read on ao3
Tumblr media
a/n: christmas in july oh my lord. tmi i'm on my period and i've had lover by taylor swift on blast for 3 hours :( give your girl a break and pretend my dividers match
this fic belongs to sketches for my sweetheart the drunk, a collection of bite-sized fics to stretch out my writing muscles :) i hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
“No, sweetheart, the- no, the buckle comes off the other way.” 
If he were a lesser man, Leon would be laughing his head off at your flushed cheeks and bleary pout. You were going to do this right here, right now, plunked on the frozen stoop of your front door, mere steps from the warmth of your apartment. 
“I can take off my own shoes! I bought them my- hic! -self.”
“You did, sweetheart, “ Leon soothes as he gets down on one knee, “and I know you can take them off fine, but you weren’t drunk when you bought them, were you?”
“I’m not drunk. I’m just...” you sulk. You would have sold the act too if it wasn’t for a sleepy jerk of your head. You always get sleepy when you’re, “...tipsy.” 
Ah, there it is.
Your toes are a half-frozen cherry red as Leon unclasps the buckle adorning your beloved heels. 
There’s not much Leon can do about your affinity for heels, even in the winter, so he grew a sixth sense for detecting falls around the time you almost tripped headfirst into the Christmas table at your parents’ house. You haven’t quite put together yet why he’s so on his toes when you wear stilettos, but Leon is okay with that. Batman never reveals his identity and if this is how he keeps Gotham’s urgent cares a little less occupied, so be it.
The fact of the matter is that Leon has perfected his method to three steps:
Watch for abnormal movement in your fingers. You start fluttering them like you’re Tinkerbell. Like you’re trying to take off from the ground and fly right back up to heaven without him, and he can’t have that just yet.
Assume position when you start laughing too hard at his jokes to distract from the fact that you’re about to fall. You never laugh at his one-liners (the best he’s ever gotten out of you is a giggle and that was on his birthday). 
Engage nearest mode of rescue the second your eyes start flitting around in search of a place to land. 
But above all, the one condition that puts him on red alert is when you’ve been drinking. His sweetheart is a complete lightweight. 
And tonight, you’d had too much fun at Claire’s Christmas dinner.
It takes a little longer than usual for Leon’s icy fingers to undo the buckle on your other shoe. “The mulled wine was that good, huh?” he asks, his lips curving into a smile as he looks up at you and your crossed arms.
He gets a hmph! in response.
“You look beautiful. You always do, it’s just…could we maybe save the ankle-breaking shoes for when the ground’s not frozen over?” 
The frown flies back on your face within seconds. His peace treaty’s gone south. “But Leon, they’re my Christmas heels! I always wear them on Christmas.”
Oh, he knows. 
“That’s why they’re Christmas heels,” you point out. 
Of course, you’re right. They’re the very same Christmas heels that so rudely interrupted his enjoyment of your mom’s to-die-for lamb roast. Leon’s also sure that they’re the ones that got repurposed on New Year’s Eve two years back. He had to kiss you under the table next to the girls chowing down grapes, and it’s a lot less romantic when half of them shoot you death glares while they’re wishing to not spend Valentine’s Day alone again. Come to think of it, Leon hasn’t had grapes in a while.
“It’s not Christmas if I don’t wear them,” you mumble. 
You don’t sound so sure of yourself. 
Leon’s plea deal might be back on the table.
His thumb rubs circles on your ankle as you swallow. His knee’s freezing over, almost attached to the sidewalk by now, but your mouse-quiet confession glues him to the spot.
“I lied.”
“These aren’t your Christmas heels?”
A snowdrop tear rolls down your cheek. 
“I didn’t buy them. You did, for me. I love them. Love you.”
You sniffle so sweetly, your cheeks still candy-apple red as he wraps your scarf tighter to keep you from catching a cold on his account. But it’s not enough to distract Leon from the fact that he bought you these shoes?
Oh no, no, no, you’re nodding as Leon’s face freezes into a horrified grimace. He’s responsible for the Heels from Hell?
“Sweetheart, I just don’t want you getting hurt.” He takes your hands in his as your lower lip wobbles. He feels just awful. “It’s Christmas because I get to spend it with you, okay? Heels or no heels.”
“You mean it?”
“Those damn things have nearly sent you to the hospital, of course I mean it.”
And finally, finally, you smile. Hark! The herald angels sing. 
“Let’s get you inside.” Leon smiles back, pressing a kiss to your forehead. He’d have gotten up too if he hadn’t suddenly come to a comical stop, his left knee still perpendicular to the ground.
You look down and stifle a giggle. “Leon, you’re frozen to the sidewalk.”
“So I am. Ow.” 
You lend him a helping hand as the two of you stumble inside the warm apartment, and Leon thinks he’ll go online shopping once you fall asleep. For less dangerous Christmas heels, sure.
But also something else. Something shiny. 
He really didn’t mind being on one knee for you.

barbz, I─ maybe, we, kinda miss your content.. hope you doing well btw
Ah right sorry. Art block's been a bit of a bitch lately. I also got the flu smackdab on my dayoff so I couldn't draw at all -_- I ended up writing a lil bit for the second chapter of the neighbors AU I started a while back. Chapter 1 was relatively short because it was just an intro but I think following chapters will be as long as the ones in Birds of a Feather(5k words or so). Lemme show you guys a lil bit of the draft as a treat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I actually look forward to writing Tyler(he's supposed to have a big role in Birds of a Feather too). His presence is a really convenient opportunity to write petty/possessive Enid, which is a super fun thing to see in certain doses.
also these sketches for the AU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm still not fully on board with how I drew young adult!Enid's hair so I might change that.

Hi I understand if you don't reply, but I was wondering if you have any advice to beginners who want to start making their ocs a reality? (Like in the sense of having Charecters that have been in your thoughts for a while, but it's hard to encapsulate them into physical form?) As I have some that id like to make either into a game or comic but I'm a little stuck..
Also I'm curious if there will be any other content with the best boy himself rire?? : 0
Hullo! Ah, (physically) designing characters, how fun ❤️ - there is part of a reason why I only have a handful of them lol XD; ANYWAY here are three things that help me, so hopefully they can help you as well :)
(I'll use Demon!Rire as an example as unless you are an old guard of mine, he will probably be the most recognisable of my characs.)
--------------
❓What do you know about them?
First of all since you already have your character in mind, congratulations you are most of the way there already! It's helpful to know the general vibe of them. And I don't mean the super detailed things that may arise from like..."Get to know your OC" quizzes - we are more looking for the core feeling of a character here. If you dumped this character into different AUs what things are going to stay the same/similar? Some things you should consider are:
What is their personality like? Why do they do the things they do?
Do I already have any physical traits for them in mind? Hair/eye/skin colour? Body type? Age? Name??
📝 Write a simple paragraph or some dot points about your character with these things in mind.
---EXAMPLE---
Sophisticated and charming, Rire outputs an aura of power and elegance. His pleasing physical appearance and gentlemanly demeanour usually enchants or commands people. Realistically, he is extremely manipulative and sadistic, and finds entertainment in the reactions of others.
---/EXAMPLE---
🤔 Make informed choices
Ok cool, you know something about your charac! Now build upon what you know to make them real - it is important here to try and match your design choices with the characterisation and "why"s of the character, and less with what you personally think will be cool/cute/whatever. What I mean by this is just pretend they are a person you are describing to a forensic sketch artist - you are giving "facts" as to what you think they look like not making stuff up (eg you would NOT be like "oh yeh she was totally a punk rocker however i'm going to say she wore a long flowing gown cos I think she'd look prettier in it?"*)
*Note that designing a character with opposites in mind can work out if you can at least answer the cursory "why" of it being a part of the character design. For eg maybe the punk rocker is secretly the alter ego of a socialite - flowing gowns and high fashion by day, grunge by night. Like Batman.
📝 Feel free to use dress up doll games and image searches for particular types of clothes/hairstyles/etc if you need inspiration. Thumbnail a bunch of different designs and see what works.
---EXAMPLE---
In my prev example paragraph I highlighted a few things in red. Here I'll break down how they can help craft a physical appearance:
Sophisticated and charming / elegance - to me, these combined make me think of ballrooms and black tie functions and nice suits. A well tailored outfit and someone who knows how to wear them.
Gentlemanly demeanour (well to some degree lol) - since I already know he's hundreds of years old (973 to be exact) I decided that an aristocratic Victorian-esque aesthetic would suit him. Somewhere in between a modern look and something with a bit more fantasy steampunk flair. He smiles quite genially until he's doing it with all his teeth.
Aura of power - he's got to be a bit of an imposing character so he's quite tall (or at least taller than all of my other characs) and carries himself confidently. Hooray for the ability to loom. Dark colours for this character, to cut an impressive figure.
Pleasing physical appearance - kinda stereotypical type of good looks that aesthetically most people would be like "yeh he's pretty". Athletic build - muscular but not bulky, broad shoulders, tapered waist etc etc.
Extremely manipulative - first of all, he looks rather human, for a demon - his entire species is designed very particularly like that. Then there's the sunglasses. The "why" [does he wear them] is they function to hide his eyes (one of the main parts of him that give away his demon-ness), but also as a bit of a red flag to the audience that something isn't quite right with him. I mean, look past his charm and he wears them all the time. The black and yellow colour scheme also ties in as warning colours ⚠️
Put them all together and this was one of my first sketches of Demon!Rire.
*Note that I already more or less knew how he looked other than his outfit; you will probably have a lot more sketch duds as you figure out what your character looks like.
Tumblr media
---/EXAMPLE---
🔐 Don't lock yourself in
Despite the fact I've just said "pretend your character is a person", remember you're still their creator so obviously you have final say over them. Sometimes you'll find that they grow and change from what you initially thought of them (or you just evolve in how you draw them). Don't be afraid to make the tweaks and changes that enhance these - whether they be physical or core characteristics - and you'll get closer to the true character you always had in mind.
---EXAMPLE--
I now draw Rire with a more pronounced V-shape, longer, wavier hair, and somehow he ended up with way more pronounced eyelashes than I usually draw on my male characs. Which works out quite well considering how I tend to draw his eyes. Anyway the point of this is that these things developed over time as I kept drawing him.
Tumblr media
---/EXAMPLE---
🍀 Try it out with your own characs! Have fun and don't force yourself to try and get it "right" on the first go.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
if you told me that I would draw pj masks in 2024 two years ago I would ask who are they.
gunntech au sketches cause I'm normal. also taken during ap us history so ignore random strokes :3. headcanons under more.
connor:
my trans king!!!! 💪💪
gave him scars. most are long and thin, since they usually happen when hes running
let Greg give him a haircut before he transitioned, now never not gets a Greg haircut ™️
stays up late reading, hence eyebags
I have a trans male friend who loves this au as much as I do, so he asked if he could "model" for catboy.
again, this was during class, so he was smouldering like Flynn Ryder while I was learning about Pennsylvania so you know
the more you know
anyway he's Filipino and I'm like OOH THIS WOULD BE COOL
so he's filipino american
also BIG EYES cause cat
gay (thanks romeo) but he's only had, like, two crushes in his life
one of the two kids who go to school
could care less what people think, likes to show off scars ("For the ladies!" his gay ass says)
interesting marching weirdo fact, the lines making up Connor are more scraggly and rough then the others! it's kinda to show he's an angst boy for me lol. but it's cool lore about me!!
imma be honest, Connor was my least favorite sorry!!
also ignore bad gay pride flag, I ran out of colors
amaya
Japanese american (I think it's in @elmushterri video)
oh also @elmushterri is the creator of this au so follow super cool and amazing and intelligent and interesting and-
psa out
lesbian
see Connors flag error for bad Yuri flag
amaya is super careful about getting hurt
see, El said in a qna that amaya was under a super strict household so her aunt probably would want her to shave her legs, etc until said aunt eventually gets redeemed and amaya can be her own girl boss
so I read that and said "HOLD MY BEER"
so when she was like 9, she got a scar on her cheek due to training with Connor and Greg
amaya went home and her aunt starting freaking out
idk if I want the aunt to say it directly to her or like to a friend on the phone that amaya hears, but her aunt says something along the lines of "scar" and "uncivilized" and "ugly" (I imagine what amaya heard was a distortion of what her aunt actually says but I degress)
since then, amaya makes sure to be as safe as she can and not get scars.
she eventually gets one on her leg, but she can cover it with pants
so she changes the "Don't get hurt" philosophy to "only get hurt where you can hide that scar"
so she is the most careful of the three
but she has multiple scars around her body
for a while she thought "if I get a scar on my arm, I won't on my face" philosophy because ngl she's my version of anxious™️
but eventually she realizes that's dumb.
her back is shredded due to enemies trying to cut her wings
eventually when she is in therapy and an adult, Luna will draw shapes on some of her scars and vice versa
adult amaya still gets embarrassed whenever someone sees her scares
anyway
amaya has terrible eyesight. horrible. Luna knows this
has a hair pin with a moon on it as a gift from luna (the notes that came with it said "for when you need to shank a bitch on short notice"
wears it everywhere
keeps hair long to hide neck scars and only puts it up during training or on duty
fun story: Greg and connor wanted her to get a really short hairstyle so they could be the "Bob boys"
amaya refused and greg and connors dream died
the other kid to go to school
star pupil. young prodigy.
as all mae whitman characters should be
fun fact: took me hours to do her nose.
finally figured it out when I looked at katara fan art and said "ah"
so MAE WHITMAN CONNECTED UNIVERSE?!?
also
her lines are very curvy and delicate to show her more level-headed thinking.
as opposed to connors roughness
my fav. I support her rights and wrongs 😔✊️
greg
rich kid mullet let's gooooooo
i kinda got inspired by a cross between andrian from miraculous ladybug and dick Grayson from Wayne family adventures
speaking of adrian
he's French American because of course
he grew out his hair to match amaya and connor hates him now
home schooled (rich kids smh)
because he's homeschooled, he doesn't care about cuts and scars and hurting himself because he thinks it's perfectly normal
also, he was sprayed with acid during a test (you know those dinos from jurassic Park who shoot venom? that but feral child)
incredibly buff and will hug you to the point of death
TALL
I looked and he seems to not have many ships with men
so an ally
he's also clueless so...
he doesn't actually know that homophobia is a thing
he sees two men kiss he thinks cool
two women? cool
a woman and a man? SAVE ROOM FOR JESUS
joking.hes chill
he has dimples and the biggest smile ever
for angst: his smile gets smaller and smaller as each season happens.
as a teen, his resting face is a smile
eventually resting he looks in pain
ANYWAY
incredibly smart
romeo hates how smart he is
but romeo is street and lab smart
greg tries
he can tell you about quantum theory but doesn't understand that people are sarcastic
he's probably autistic or has adhd or both
he probably wasn't professionally tested
Luna probably gave him a lizard to watch and Greg didn't move for 16 hours
also luna and greg are besties
because of course
fun drawing: very square
I wanted him for two reasons
1: he's always stiff due to being a Gunn
2: he feels like a robot: infinite possibilities but only if a button is hit
anyways thank you! sorry for long post! villains up soon!!

hi here is part one of my idiot crew
how they look is super subject to change because this is the first time ive drawn most of them and they're all in goofy sketches and it's weird reclaiming something so many spoiled for you but!!! work doodles!!
we're back baby!!!!!
- lil info on them and the tag list below 💛
haylin - idiot, milo's best friend, ren's safe place, benedikt's ward, nari's biggest fan, arlo's flame, 'adopted' sister of leon and aleks, elias' favourite daughter, elena's favourite pet. is the main character, the final girl and the most dangerous user of the term 'ah fuck it what's the worst that can happen?????'
ren - the second smartest kid in the room, haylin's most loyal, thinks of leon like a father, thinks aleks and milo are morons, loves nari to the moon and back in a platonic way, is of the opinion that arlo should fuck right off, also thinks benedikt should get a grip, is probably the only one besides ben and haylin to not be afraid of elena, is a thorn in elias' side. he's not fond of people, he's super athletic, he will do anything for a bag of sour patch kids
leon - everybody's big brother, the drunk dad figure, detective dumbass but not really. will not let you drive. will insist on pizza for dinner. he will be there for you no matter what. no matter what
nari - mischief maker. elias' biggest headache. if elena has no haters then it means nari is ded. cannot be left alone with milo bc they cannot be trusted to behave. if you look at aleks wrong she might stab you in the knee. has adopted ren as her baby brother. somehow gets her way with ben all the time???? anyway she's a thief, protect your pockets
benedikt - cursed. elena's favourite soldier. haylin's everything. has not known peace in about 600 years. is not a vampire but leon still calls him edward. aleks punched him once and broke his fist. ben is a tired old man, yall. but he will take care of you, i promise
aleks - youngest adams brother. the other smartest kid in the room. has a mind that is constantly on the go. he's the science bro. he's also the temperamental bro. he and milo are best friends. and best friends kiss sometimes, okay?????
milo - goofball. hyperactive. would follow haylin into hell if he had to. short king bc all the size went into his heart. has a cat called mr meowcolm. makes ren do his dirty work for a bag of sour patch kids
elias - old man. 700+ years old. is only alive bc his twin sister wont let him die. has decided he is responsible for everyone. he is the softest man alive and he will accept you and all of you and do all in his power to make sure you know you are loved. also he is fighting for his life everyday against the family curse but yknow, just another day
elena - elias' twin. final boss. only behaves bc of elias. doesnt have a heart ( literal ). she's neither good or evil but most people only see the evil. she's the auntie ethel of the game. she eats people. no, really, she does. her jaw comes loose. it's great
arlo - elena's favourite toy. he is the dark romance option. he's also v handsome. he handles being dead and trapped by elena better than anyone. he is also madly in love with haylin. he will scare you for fun. also, he is silly i just wanna bully him
i still need to do harper, felix, jj, zeke, grey and all the other idiots in my lil d&d chaos build but hehe this is the first time ive drawn some of these guys and finally!! finally taken them back from poor treatment from others and people who made me feel bad!!

For @the-overanalyst
Based on: This post
Summary: "FUCK OFF ENA MY SURROGATE FAMILY GO FIND A DIFFERENT CITY FOR YOURS"
Constant looking around seemed to payoff. She finally found Weekend Garage, a supposedly super place. If Akito could be trusted. Then again, wasn't this also Shraishi's place...?
Sighing a bit, Ena pushed open the doors and looked around before being greeted. “Ena-san!!”
“An. Hi.” Okay, this was her place. Maybe Akito wasn't lying.
“Can't stay long, practice, BYE!” An said, rushing over to the door.
“Take care, An.” Ena jumped a bit, noticing the man behind the counter smile.
“LATER DAD, I'll bring Kohane and Toya by!” And like that, the younger girl was gone. Ena turned back to the man and waved in a nervous way.
“No need to panic. I'm just the owner of the place. Not gonna hurt a new patron.” His chuckled seemed to calm Ena's nerves as she made her way over to a barstool.
“Right... It's Ken, yes? My brother keeps raving and ranting about this place and a Ken...” Ena asked.
“Shiraishi Ken, at your service. You Akito's sister?” He cut to the chase, making a small platter of food.
“Ah... Yes.” Ena smiled. “Bet he says all bad things, hm?”
“Only half of the time. The other half is things he thinks are insulting but just show how much he cares.” Ken chuckled. “Feel free to stay as long as you need to. Any orders are on me, okay?”
Ena blinked. “W-Wait, isn't that bad for business...?” A small smile and an eyebrow raise told her he probably didn't care. “Th-Thank you!” He moved away to serve a different customer as Ena pulled her sketchbook out.
A deep breath in as she looked at the stage. It seemed like a good place to start...
About thirty minutes later, a small group came in, greeted by Ken. She vaguely caught when they asked to sing, and watched them move to the stage. It was a good opportunity to practice emotions, so Ena started sketching the faces. Two hours later, the page was filled with singers faces, parts of the restaurant and she had started combining the things on a different page.
“Mind if I see what you have so far?” Ena jolted as Ken asked, looking up. “You were drawing all day, right?”
A nod, and Ena slowly showed Ken the work. He looked over the page, the small smile never leaving. Each moment passing caused Ena to tense more, bracing for the worst.
“I think it's pretty perfect. To me, you caught the way the singers were having fun really well, along with the song messages. I don't know much about art composition, I only know what my roommate from college told me. But I think that's pretty good too.” Ena blinked. “I think my only suggestion is add colour when you can. Bright ones, if you think it fits.”
“Wh...” Ena looked at her work. She was sure it was bad. A customer came over to pay and noticed the art, before agreeing with Ken and waving goodbye. She looked at the art again. “But... My teacher would s—”
“Art is subjective, right? Sure there are rules to try and make it more appealing to the masses, but if it even makes one person feel something besides ‘ew, that looks bad’, I think it's done it's job.” Ken added, handing the sketchbook back. “So. I'd say this art is good since it's resonated with at least 2 people.”
Just as Ena was about to thank him for the confidence boost, the door of the restaurant burst open. All Ken could do was chuckle as Ena blinked in confusion.
“GET YOUR OWN SURROGATE DAD!” Akito yelled. Ena huffed and got angry right back.
“All I did was get a bit of an eye opener, shut up! Besides, I wouldn't have just wandered in if you took me here before once!” Akito scoffed as he stormed in, followed by the rest of Vivid BAD SQUAD chuckling.
“YOU DON'T SEE ME ADDING YOUR GROUP ON NIGHTCORD?!” Akito huffed.
“Jokes on you, Mizuki has tried like 4 times to add you so that threat doesn't bother me!” Ena shot back.
Ken clapped his hands. “How about you two bicker through song. You are on Vivid Street.”
“BEAT HIM, ENA-SAN!!” An cheered. The siblings looked at each other then took off to the stage.
All the while, Ken simply smiled and chuckled.

The rambles for W O R M painting!!!
This one’s a long one so get a snack and enjoy the show!
first order of businesses is all the other photos I have!!!!!
Other nature placements that I got:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then! The individual worms plus the back of the guys in case anyone is curious about the inerworkings and mechanisms:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The little guy in better lightings aka the floor:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
progress photos:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The sketch can be seen here if you want to look at it :D AND THATS ALL THE PHOTOS!!!!!
WIND WORBS:
I forgot his legs had skin tone and fucked it up when I went to add them so that’s why it had to be cut out and turned into a month long project! It wasn’t supposed to tale this longggggggg!!!!!
Anyways I love how he turned out and he got a little wind waker too! The embroidery on his knees is little waves and I really wanted to point it out cause they make me so happy :D
I ALSO LOVE HOW HIS HAIR TURNED OUT it looks so floofy :3 he was also supposed to have earrings but I forgot to paint them… you can probably still see them in the paper drawing tho
Okay, so The Wimdy Boy, yes? We love him and you can probably recognize him, but everyone else is also here! Just in case it’s not clear, which I think it should be, but I also just want to talk about them soooooo
Hyrule: the fully green one with speckled bits. He also has the stab scar from Dink in aol that was revealed in “Scars”(I think that’s what it was called? The page with scars tall) He was probably the easiest to make but was also the last one I did so maybe there’s correlation there?
Legend: PINK!!!! I did him so dirty with this one he’s pink with Christmas colored spots and looks so goofy :D I treated his as a kinda dark world form so he had to be pink cause pinky little guy :D The Christmas colors are from his tunic and under tunic! I probably should’ve done a bit of yellow for the embroidery but ah well. He’s also got one of my favorite shapes of all the wormies C:
Warriors: BLUE BOY SO LONG AND FLOWY HE LOOKS LIKE HIS SCORF he’s also got orange bits in reference to his scarf’s embroidery! I know he’s got a lot of green in his design but if I included all the green they’d all look kinda similar sooooooo blue boy :3
Four: RAINBOW LITTLE GUY they’ve also got the goofy face, looks like a muppet, the idiot (/aff) the blending of the colors there was so annoying >:( how could they do this to me :C
Sky: Okay, I really didn't want to do worms in the chain’s clothes but I feel I need a pass for sky! The big sailcloth is so important to his design!!!! And he’s still got the shirt color and red gem bits put into the design too. ANYWAYS CURLY GUY HE DOIN’ A FLIP!!!
Wild: similarly to Sky, he needed the cloak. Without it he would’ve looked way too similar to Wars and I needed a big difference. ALSO HE’S TINY LITTLE GUY LITTLE LITTLE GUY :3
Time: I struggled with his colors but ended up doing the armour colors plus the face scars I SHOULDVE MADE PNE OF THE EYES WHITE NOOOOOOOO I FORGOT :C
Twilight: BIG FLOOF OF FUR THEN THE GREEN/BROWN OF THE REST OF THE CLOTHES!!! I’m so sorry dude, your placement looked okay on the paper but in a 2.5D area he doesn’t look as floaty as the rest :(((
YOU THOUHT WE WERE DONE? NOPE!!!! IT’S PLOT TIME >:3
You can see this one of 3 ways! (All of them can be correct, but they do have different vibes soooo)
Worms, silly worms doing silly stuff :P
The chain has been magically turned into worms! Oh no! What will we do? Luckily Wind is still Hylian so hopefully he can turn them back! For now though let’s have some fun, with the rest of the chain super light, they can play in the Wind Waker breeze :D
THE EVIL WHUMP OPTION >:3
So Wind is looking kinda magical with his white eyes, pose, and he’s got the Wind Waker out so magic is happening no? And yes, it could totally be a breeze summoning song, but you know what else the boy can do? Something questionably okay on mindless monsters and the good of the people and with consent, but if it were to be maybe used on people without their knowledge… that that wouldn’t be good right? :3
YES THE COMAND MELODY! Wind is evil and turned the whole chain into worms on strings because… uhhhh I don’t know why… emotional turmoil, grew-up-too-fast trauma, just wants to finally have a break and play, and you know what he can play with? BAM WORMS ON STRINGS >:3

A3! Miyoshi Kazunari - Translation [SSR] MANKAI Feature (2/3)
Tumblr media
*Please read disclaimer on blog
---
Kazunari: (Sketching today was fun~.) …Hm? (The stars are super pretty tonight! The summer triangle is really visible too~.)* I’ll send it to Sumi! I wonder if I can get a good shot.
Tumblr media
*click*
Kazunari: Mmm… it’s tough taking it with a phone~. I gotta look into how to shoot it! (Anyways, I’m gonna tell Sumi about it first thing once I get home. He might already know about it though.)
???: Kazu~!
Kazunari: Huh?
-pause-
Misumi: Up here! On top of the triangle roof!
Muku: Kazu-kuuun, welcome home!
Kumon: Welcome back!
Tumblr media
-pause-
Kazunari: Sumi! You guys!
Misumi: Join us, Kazu~!
Kazunari: …
-pause-
Kazunari: Upsies… and oof! What a surprise. All of Summer troupe’s gathered on the rooftop!
Tumblr media
Yuki: We ended up holding a summer triangle appreciation party as per Misumi’s suggestion.
Muku: It worked out perfectly since we also spotted you the moment you got home.
Kumon: Tah dah. We made sure to prepare onigiri too!
Tumblr media
Misumi: The view is really pretty up here~!
Kazunari: I was just gazing up as I came home! It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Tenma: By the way, Paul was chosen as the role for your spin-off, right?
Kazunari: Yep! I have a script meeting with Tsuzurun later!
Muku: Kazu-kun’s Paul was really dashing! I understand why the audience loves him so much.
Kumon: Yeah! I love Kazu-san’s Paul too!
Yuki: That reminds me, we’ve thought about their after stories before.
Kumon: Eh, you have!?
Misumi: You weren’t part of the theatre yet back then.
Kazunari: We talked about how Henry was actually a prince, and how Sky went off on an adventure to find the golden triangle!
Tenma: We totally just did whatever we wanted.
Tumblr media
Kumon: Awesome! That sounds super fun!
Muku: Kazu-kun came up with a story where Paul joins the Sky Pirates.
Misumi: Yeah, that’s right!
Tenma: But we’re doing a spin-off this time, not a sequel, right? We can talk about that later.
Kumon: Aw~! Way to keep me in suspense, Tenma-san~!
Muku: I think an exchange between Paul and the Sky Pirates is a must though.
Misumi: It’d be fun if all the Sky Pirates and Paul could go wild and make lots of noise together!
Tenma: Even though it’s Paul’s spin-off, I’d like it if we could include some of Summer troupe’s typical comedy scenes.
Yuki: Even if they don’t become friends, we could show something like the pirates and navy joining forces.
Kumon: I wanna see Paul’s cool side!
Kazunari: I see, I see. Join forces… that’s true… I’ve got an image of what I wanna do after talking with you guys! Thanks!
Muku: I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Misumi: ...Ah! A shooting star!
Tumblr media
Tenma: Where?
Kumon: Wah! I gotta make a wish!
Kazunari: Me too, me too! Lemme think… I wish that Paul’s spin-off turns out well!
Yuki: Don’t you have to chant your wish three times for shooting stars?
Kazunari: Wait, what!? It’s too late for that!
-pause-
Kauznari: …And so, that’s the kinda story I want!
Tsuzuru: I see… in that case, it sounds like whole cast is going to appear.
Tumblr media
Kazunari: Yep. Since we’re doing a long-awaited spin-off, I want everyone to take the stage!
Tsuzuru: That sounds just like you. I’ve also been itching to write a Paul fight scene like the one you just explained to me.
Kazunari: I’ll be expecting it! Thanks, fam!

daima time-ah
blabbering about ep 1!
spoilers obv
btw I blabbered a lot on twxtter about it a lot, so I'm likely gonna repeat myself here.
First of all.
NEW DRAGON BALL SET
NEW STINKY OP NAMEKIAN GRANDPA HACKING EARTH'S DBS LIKE IT'S NOTHING
DESIGNATED DB GUARDIANS NO ONE DARES TO FUCK WITH
NAMEKIANS "OTHER WORLD" ORIGIN LORE DROP FROM THE SUPER MANGA HAD PAYOFF IN LINKING BACK TO THEM BEING FROM THE DEMON REALM, ALONG WITH THE LINK BETWEEN "DEMON KING" PICCOLO AAAAA
was this made for me??? this feels specifically made for me.
And then there's also:
White vs black magic, specifically talking about wishes and what Shenlong won't do
The new DB set is known as Porunga, so I'm really looking forward to the design!!! Porunga OG, the prequel!
Shenlong being hesitant and oddly specific about the age wish and what to do with ones who are already kids, but then deciding for himself who the wish effects. (You could say Chichi stood up to Buu, but 18? Bulma? You could really include everyone who contributed to the genkidama lol)
DEGESU AND GOMAH BEING SILLY and Degesu being related to Shin! And Arinsu is also their sister?!?
That's Kaioshin, Namekian, and DB lore lovers all being fed a feast in this one episode. Upcoming Majin lore with Pansy, I suppose too.
Arinsu potentially could be the first main Big Bad Lady???? And she's pulling the strings from the start???? Amazing.
I think the fact that there is already THIS much (even though it was a slightly longer premiere episode) to talk about just in story and new lore is... Just wow. Who would have thought when Super was at its end that we would be here a few years later with not only story content, but animation QUALITY. Soundtrack quality as well.
I'm so happy to be around for this period of DB. It's so fun. And bittersweet with the timing of Toriyama's sudden (?) death. But so magical.
I don't think I shared this sketch here? Here's my guess at a Super Porunga of sorts.
Tumblr media
As a side note, here are some things I guessed correctly from the trailers:
Neva hacking the DBs via auto-summoning
New DB set/new Namekian grandpa (though I thought it might be Zalama) based on the spell in one of the later trailers. (Does this mean the dragon's name is part of the spell? Dorusie? Dorushiē? We'll see. He does say it twice though.)
Other stuff that remains to be seen:
What Arinsu's goals are
What wish does Degesu want? (Surely this will be a silly gag)
What will the other 2 wishes actually be used for?
What the fuck is that Eye item Gomah mentioned? Tenshinhan relevant???
Will they try to go to Namek first, but they'll all be affected too? Please show me tiny Porunga.
Alternatively, it would be funny if Gomah and Degesu hopped along to Namek to summon Porunga for more wishes, and Neva could probably push past the password part. Hence why our main team have no choice but to head to the Demon Realm. The first part likely won't happen as long as they don't find out about the planet though.
Gohan. I have seen discussion about him coming in clutch and having his powers as he's there only one that was in pretty good fighting shape at age 6/7. Please show our boy and tiny Videl.
Okay I'm gonna have to turn my brain off now. But anyway EP 1 stopped at such a great point. I'm so in love with this production and love how positive it has been received. We're so back. I can't wait for Friday.

Hi!!!
I just saw your Drifa x Companion posts and oh my god????? They are wonderful so fricking wonderful. The kisses you sketch are so full of feeling and so nice and ahhh <3 also I love how they all have a very distinct relationship with Drifa and it's so good every time!!!! Have you decided on who to romance with Drifa or are you still circling (drawing?) through the rest of the companions ? In any case! Hope you have fun with whomever you choose and that you have a good day :]
Hi!!!
Ahhhh thank you so much!!!!!! They have been so fun to draw tbh, it's very nice to get the opportunity to explore different relationships.
Tbh I haven't really decided... I am a super indecisive person, and the problem is I just don't have so much free time and what freetime I have i spend drawing, so part of me is like 'i could romance someone different on my next run' but also that means i have to finish the game and i'm still in act 1 lolololol
I plan on circling through all of them (I hope i can) Even if I end up romancing someone in bg3, i may end up just drawing her with everyone OR making her a lil oc person to be with so i can have MULTIPLE things i like... but even then i can't decide.... AH i hate being indecisive. I think my problem is i don't know what dynamic I like best for her.... and i haven't played the game much so I may get more decisive once i learn more.... not that i haven't be spoiled etc just being on the internet. WE WILL SEE ANON, WE WILL SEE
THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!!!!

Hey, found the circus!
Tumblr media
Astute observers may note that there is a GHOUL hanging out by the front gate. A nearby civilian and his son are discussing it; the dad claims it's a man in a costume, the kid points out that it is drooling.
A nearby conversation is happening between a Flaming Fist and someone who appears to possibly be the circus owner; they're discussing the fact that the owner apparently employs redcaps in the circus and that some of them are on the loose. (Most, the owner asserts, are "perfectly harmless," but the escaped ones had been caged temporarily for attacking a kid.)
Did I mention before that this circus is called The Circus of the Last Days? Everything about this is sketch af.
Another bit of ambient dialogue states that Dribbles the Clown, who seems to be pretty well-known, always travels with a group of animal friends. So that's something to look forward to anyway.
Talking to the ghoul, we learn that it is apparently security, since the "Steel Watch" can't be bothered to patrol out here in the sticks.
Tumblr media
We approach as it is being very rude to a random townsperson. "*SNIFF* STINKS OF CHEESE! *SNIFF* BETWEEN HIS PIGGY TOES."
Lovely. The townsperson was pretty displeased about being spoken to like this but stepped back to let us also get sniffed so's we can all go in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hello, hello, and welcome to the Circus of the Last Days! The finest extraplanar circus there is!"
Karlach, hearing this, immediately gasps and gets super excited:
Tumblr media
"Ah! A circus! Can we go?!"
Karlach continues to be the cutest thing in the world. And Hector is a sucker for anything that gets her excited, so even if they weren't going to go in before, they definitely are now.
Tumblr media
Questions first, though. "I've never heard of an extraplanar circus."
Tumblr media
"We travel from plane to plane, thrilling all blessed to see us! From tempestuous djinni to belligerent redcaps - you'll find them all here! But enough of this - the circus is a place of joy and distraction! So come inside and forget your worries."
Privately Hector suspects there is not a circus big enough to make him forget all his worries, and also he kind of wanted to ask about the ghoul. But sure.
"All right. I'd like to enter the circus."
"Not a problem, dear patron!" the barker says cheerfully. "Benji just has to check if you're a vicious murderer. Benji!"
The ghoul comes over and gives Hector a deep sniff.
Tumblr media
"Huh," it grunts, then sniffs, and sniffs again. Then it squeals harshly, "BRAIN JUICE SMELLS LIKE PISS AND IRON. NO. LIKE."
The barker blinks, then laughs nervously. "That's a first. Usually I'd allow you in, but in these times I can take no chances. Move along; no circus for you."
Tumblr media
Hector winces. Of course. It can smell the tadpole. He's not sure he blames it for its skepticism either, under the circumstances. He isn't too fussed about the circus himself, but it's been a long day and he really doesn't want to see that sad look that Karlach gets in her eyes when she's disappointed.
So he puts on his most placid, unthreatening smile and nods understandingly at the barker. [PERSUASION] "I'm not a threat to you or anyone else in the circus," he says gravely. "I swear it."
Tumblr media
The barker sighs good-naturedly. "Oh, damned if I'm not a sucker for big eyes and a heartfelt plea," he says. "Very well. Welcome to the Circus of the Last Days! Have fun, and be sure to catch the star of our show, Dribbles the Clown!"
The gate swings open and he steps aside to let them pass.
-----
"Well," Hector says dryly as they walk into the circus area. "That was terrible security."
"Who cares?!" Karlach says brightly. "We get to go to the circus! I want to see that clown he was talking about."
Shadowheart tries, and fails, to mask a slight smile; Hector gets the impression that, secretly, she might be almost as excited about this as Karlach is. Jaheira, though, is looking quite serious.
"Keep your wits about you," she mutters. "I would not spoil your fun but... the last place of this kind that I saw turned out to be not what it seemed. Do not take your guard down."

Well, it's that time again
*picks up th Wheel of Fandoms, spins it.... lands on One Piece.*
Ah. Well then
The Chain gets teleported to the world of One Piece and immediately meets the Straw Hats. What shenanigans happen?
"Time is a spice?" Gen asks skeptically. Sanji, who can somehow hear that Gen is misspelling thyme, is not encouraged.
Shadow immediately dumps any and all translating duties on Chopper for the foreseeable future. Never mind that the odds of translation duty being needed are slim to none, he's not doing it again if the reindeer kid can fill in.
Sketch and Steam meet Franky. They are in awe. Franky, meanwhile, is absolutely deadset on figuring out how to manufacture his own version of the Spirit Train summon, because that would be so SUPER!
Wind and Nami have either hit it off terrifyingly well, or they've taken offense with each others' weather control methods. Nobody's entirely sure which one it is, and at this point nobody is brave enough to venture into the condensed hurricane off the port side to ask.
Zoro somehow singles out Oni, despite Oni being a literal mask on Mask's belt, and requests a spar. He hasn't gotten a reply yet. This has not stopped him from continuing to make requests.
Mask and Ocarina, meanwhile, are hanging out with Brook and improvising musical riffs with each other. It's a fun time.
Vio is in love with Robin's library. RGB are less enamored, but aren't willing to risk Robin's wrath by being their usual level of disruptive.
Lore is on the exact same brain wavelength as Luffy, which surprises nobody, really. The only difference is that Lore's got a better vocabulary for explaining himself.
Dusk has somehow gotten into a story trade with Usopp, which started as him explaining their adventures and then spiraled into him having to clarify that, no, he's not exaggerating anything, he really does turn into a wolf sometimes. No, he's not a Zoan, is that even a word? Usopp has taken this as a challenge, somehow, and is trying to invent a story that's weirder than any of the Chain's experiences. He's getting there.
Speck and the Four are with Jinbei. Because he seems like the only truly calm influence on the ship, right now.
Realm is, of course, lost, but then Zoro finds him? Somehow??? And then Sanji finds Zoro and everyone else follows Sanji and the whole thing ends up taking about forty minutes. Which is about ten hours and twenty minutes shorter than what usually happens. The Chain is in awe, and also a great deal of confusion.
Zoro shrugs and gets back to propositioning Oni's mask for a sparring match.

5 Random Things
Ah yes a very clear title for you hehe. Another not-entirely-tes tag game, which, since I've been relatively deep in the hyperfocus I thought I'd surface and do a couple of these before diving back in lol.
I was tagged by @dirty-bosmer to share 5 random things I enjoy! (Their post is here!)
I will tag @paraparadigm, @changelingsandothernonsense, @thana-topsy, @archangelsunited, @snippetsrus, @kookaburra1701, @friend-of-giants, @elfinismsarts, @thequeenofthewinter, @rainpebble3 and anyone else who'd like to write one of these!
Chicory Coffee which baffles a few people in my household, and I enjoy that too. I've been calling it canis root tea for funsies because I feel like that's basically the tamrielic equivalent. There's really nothing else like it, I don't know how to explain why I love it so much. But I have that as frequently as regular coffee despite less caffeine -- I have the kind that's mixed with regular coffee. Otherwise it'd be caffeine free lol
The Legend of Zelda which is my favorite game series of all time, followed close by Elder Scrolls, of course. The reason is because I've been playing these games since the days of the NES lol though as a small child I had absolutely no idea how to puzzle through that first game. It still brings me joy though. Tears of the Kingdom is very fun, but I think my favorite remains Breath of the Wild.
Mechanical Keyboards. Even inexpensive ones. They are extremely fun to pull apart and repair or redesign, plus I love the noise feedback. I do less typos on these things, plus they're pretty. What's not to like, honestly? A very writerly/gamerly thing of me to say.
Dungeons & Dragons. Oh look another game on the list, hehe. This one sort of combines everything I love about video games with everything I love about storytelling. I've been a DM before and seriously enjoy the world-building aspect and the absolute chaotic nonsense that players can create. I might enjoy being a pc more for causing said shenanigans :> Also, dnd dice. Shiny 🤩
Sketching. I don't share my art on my blog because I usually draw Pokemon if I'm being honest LOL but the act of just sketching for the sake of sketching or learning more about drawing is super soothing to me. No pressure to share them, no pressure to get them right. I just draw because I can. Though sometimes I will write apologies in the margin if a sketch turns out really fucked up. :> But even then, it's all part of the process.

It's 2 am and I am genuinely screaming at your art. I always do, but christ. I usually check out in case you've uploaded something new, your art is a strong creative reference point for me, I hope you know that. It makes art feel fun again.
A lot of the art you post might be doodles and quick sketches, but they have so much life in them, and emotion, and I always, always love seeing it. I have a bunch of your drawings saved in a folder for reference whenever I'm stuck and feel like I should have some more fun, and enjoy what I'm doing. Then I go look at it, and feel immediately inspired, and go back at it.
I started seeing your art because of bnha, and THEN I realized that OH? YOU ALSO GOT INTO TRIGUN? My god, I read the post you wrote about the series just being...wonderful--and it REALLY IS,. No spoilers for anyone, just..it's good. its so, so good for so many reasons, and it hit a chord in my little heart, and now youre making art of it? Dont mind if I do???
I read that you were trying to focus this blog into more serious art, and thats fine, although if you were to also post your funny little doodles anywhere else, whatever they may be about, just say where and I'll be around too >:)) its always so very nice to see anything at all. So, yeah. screaming. I just saw the most recent trigun sketches and UGH. Theyre so fine. The cHARACTERS ARE SO FINE. id rant about the complexity and simplicity of it all. You art really shows Vash's emotions, and..ah, it hits the spot. So uh, yeah! You're awesome, keep doing awesome. Sorry about the long message, don't feel pressured to answer ^^)!
Aah thank you so much for that sweet ask!! The fact that you have art saved in a folder and that it helps you get back to drawing when you feel stuck, that makes me so happy to hear! It's in a way one of the best things I could hope to achieve, because even though as an artist you draw for your own joy, if I can move other people or even better, inspire them to do art too, then I'm super glad :') I hope you keep on having fun and enjoying doing art!
Also oh yes like many other people I got deep into Trigun...(I might just add some more to that post that you mentioned, because I haven't yet expressed all that I wanted to say about that show)
Don't worry, the funny little doodles will stay here and continue to be uploaded! What I mainly meant by keeping this professionall-y is, that I mostly want to post art, not too many text posts, because I want my Tumblr to function as a kind of online portfolio/art archive. That works here just a bit better than on Twitter.
Again, thank you so much! I'm really happy you like my stuff so much and took your time to write such a kind, long message! Have a beautiful day and weekend!

Beat by beat, a little bit up!
A little bit UP!! by Switch Song Analysis
Lyric Translation from Mia (@/nenosuns on twt!)
Overview: A little bit UP!! is a song about cheering someone up "bit by bit" (beat by beat). To see the magic of Switch ~☆ click read more!
Tumblr media
Note: This is an analysis purely from the English lyrics, if there are some easter eggs or much more profound meaning in the Japanese original of the song, I am sorry if I didn't notice it or know it. You could point it out! Discussion of this analysis is super welcomed! I love talking about a song's meaning/interpretation, especially since it's different for everyone!
To understand the song much clearer, let's dissect what story Switch is trying to tell us.
Your heart beats with a thump and you yawn lazily Oh hey, let’s not let today end on a boring note NO NO Just a moment
Our story starts with a persona that the Switch is talking to. The song takes a conversation-type between Switch themselves and the listener or whoever persona you interpret this song with, which is common in Switch songs. The first stanza tells us that this persona is tired of life. This will be clearer as we go.
Close your eyes And sketch it to your liking Just like you used to do when you were little
Switch tells the persona to sleep and enter a dream. With them saying to this persona it was like they used to do when they're little, it means that the persona might be probably older and experiencing (insert every adult/teen problem here).
Let’s be as greedy as you want and coordinate what you wanna do C’mon, just be unbelievably yourself 1000% In the dream, your best cute smile marks the place It’s okay even if you fail to find it ‘Cause for you For us It’ll be our little secret in the dream
This is where it is explained what Switch's relationship with said persona. As a group of magician, they are helping them to "sketch" the dream they want to them.
When you wake up tomorrow Even if you don’t remember it You’ll somehow feel different And no one will know the reason
After the said persona had dreamed, when they wake up, they will never remember anything that happened between them and the Switch in the dream. However, they will feel different.
So, now you know the story, let's dissect every line that I want to focus on and how it became a song about cheering up someone "bit by bit".
Your heart beats with a thump and you yawn lazily Oh hey, let’s not let today end on a boring note NO NO Just a moment What was crushed can be restored If you ever feel like giving up and turning off the daylight in your life
Based on the lines, we could say that the persona is crushed by the problems of life, tired of existing, and just overall depressed. This is further supported by the line:
I don’t care if there’s a difference between being tough and being smart What matters is that you don’t look like you’re having fun at all
They are at the deepest bottom of their life while Switch managed to get them to smile at the end, it was hard getting there as the persona was heavily sad, depressed even. It's further heart breaking especially they recounted the persona's youth, pushing the idea that Switch had been with them since they were a child, and they were much more different before:
Close your eyes And sketch it to your liking Just like you used to do when you were little
It's heavily supported by how the song has Lesson 1-3 in the lyrics and there are a lot of lines that say "Tomorrow we'll make it much more exciting/better", these are said lines:
Lesson 1 You can also use a bit of magic And when tomorrow comes Let’s make it even more exciting! Tomorrow we’ll give our Best Step! Lesson 2, we want to make you happy I’ve come to see you! Lesson 3 The end of a dream is not necessarily a bad thing And when tomorrow comes Let’s make it even more exciting!
There's a whole stanza about how it was getting already awkward for Switch since nothing seems to be working:
Ah, if we keep it this way It’ll become an awkward loop
This is where the comforting/cheering up someone bit-by-bit (or beat-by-beat, in this case, since it's a song) comes into place. We haven't talked about how Switch is trying to cheer them, which is vaguely explained in the chorus:
Let’s be as greedy as you want and coordinate what you wanna do C’mon, just be unbelievably yourself 1000% In the dream, your best cute smile marks the place It’s okay even if you fail to find it ‘Cause for you For us It’ll be our little secret in the dream If you thoroughly produce this in your own selfish way I’m 1000% sure you’ll be able to see a brand new light You got to be as greedy as you want and coordinate what you wanna do I 1000% can’t believe it, you’re just being yourself now If you thoroughly produced this in your own selfish way I’m 1000% sure you’ll feel your crushed heart being reborn
It's implied here that Switch is helping them to make a dream world they are comfortable with. To produce something that they shouldn't think of anyone else other than themselves, the things they want, the things that could make them happy. Switch is encouraging the persona to be themselves in the dream, even going as far as being 1000%, meaning more than they are showing in real life (we already went on how Switch knows them more because they have been the persona's "magicians" since childhood). Switch is letting the persona's be their playground of their wants and desires.
It is reminded repeatedly that it's the Switch's want and mission to make this persona happy:
In the name of all the magicians Lesson 2, we want to make you happy I’ve come to see you! This is the magic of meeting you in the dream
And they want the persona to rely on them when things get too complicated when life gets hard when things seem to be hopeless. They want this persona to come back in their dreams and have the happiness they want there. Because there, they will always find comfort and happiness that the persona is missing in their life.
Try saying it as if you were me The words will always reach your heart If you ever feel like giving up and turning off the daylight in your life
And as I said earlier, Switch never stops doing it. Over and over again, even though the persona is forgetting what the dream was, there's always progress to be seen every time this persona wakes up.
You can also use a bit of magic And when tomorrow comes Let’s make it even more exciting! When you wake up tomorrow Even if you don’t remember it You’ll somehow feel different And no one will know the reason The end of a dream is not necessarily a bad thing And when tomorrow comes Let’s make it even more exciting!
Because they will fix this persona's problems and take them into the dreams to make them happy, beat by beat, slowly but surely, even it takes a lot of tries, a lot of dreams, and a lot of waking up not remembering anything, they will feel a little bit UP!!
Beat by beat, a little bit up What was crushed can be restored Even if you don’t remember it Hey, now a little bit up!
