Meet my new ocs!! :>

Lore and info below the cut!

The pink hair guy with the silly creatures in his torso is Emilien (Emi for short) (he/it pronouns) some times after his top surgery he had these cute mouth entities that woke up in his scars (he's not really enjoying their presence)

That tall long green hair man is Sohan (he/him) he's a cashier who is gonna find out about Emi's creatures and be fascinated by them. Could be a good thing for Emi since it had a crush on Sohan since some time (despite the fact that they never really talked) but actually Sohan is like. an unsympathetic and unfriendly asshole. He doesn't care about Emi as a person at all

Because of Emi's mixed feelings about Sohan, the creatures will be very hostile toward him, so he won't be able to study them. And because he really wants to, Sohan will try to force himself to fall in love with Emi

i think the most impressive thing about the adaptation is how it's handling the implicit commentary on education and on "writing" as a medium although it's visual and thus can't do some of the unreliable-narrator stuff in the same way ferrante could in the books

i am still very curious to see how they will handle the end of the series but they've already shown they have the chops for it. i was particularly impressed how in the beginning, when Lenù starts to write, child-Lila gets up and walks away unnoticed. child-Lila was able to come to old-Lenù in the absence, in the shock and grief and confusion, but when Lenù fires up her computer she loses her. the scene in season 3 where Lenù reads Lila her article ("her" article) publishing Lila's experience in her own kinda pompous, overwrought voice and we just get a shot of Lila's tired blank expression, that was terrific. i am #okay. i am not going insane at all.

but seriously, i do trust that when we get to the series finale i am gonna be suitably destroyed. they know what tf they're doing.

Anyway.... Back to what I was pondering earlier today... It's been 4 months but I'm still as deeply obsessed with Exotic Creatures of the Deep as at the very start

reminiscing on the period where i didnt know sawashiro was modeled after ttm and the second i learned and embraced that it 1000% altered the way i drew him These Are Not The Same Bitch

Sometimes, when life's got you down, you just need to go relax with your best friend. (Feat. FinFin.)

Technically, a collaborative comic of sorts with Cam and I. We weren't sure who'd be best posting it, so I decided to take it on this time. It's also kinda, half-vent, half-fanart, half-system comic? …Truly, there's many halves at play here. More than usual, one might say.

the fact ai art is dying out the way of the nft is endlessly hilarious to me. hindsight is 20/20, like.. knowing what we know now it makes sense that it wouldnt last. but its so funny seeing all these companies and tech bros constantly lose their collective shit over the next Big New Art Thing that makes them not need to pay artists anymore, or whatever new Theft Machine is created to spend their money on, only for the exact next year to come by and theyre begging and pleading for people to keep using their shit because nobody wants it - and when they force ai generated slop at people, its so bad that even those who were into it are turned away. theres just no way to make ai generated content sustainable and its so funny to watch it wither away and die
