I am late once again!!!

Hellow @ingeniia !!! here it is your gift @dcmk-exchange !

I made comic and that took more than expected! I was a little inspired and I know a promp was either Kai to protect the Shonen Tanteis but in my brain was just that ova with Kaito and the Kids and couldn't stop thinking about the Kids forcing him to become part of they're club with Conan and Ai... hahaha

Hey @itssagaruu! I'm your (new) dcmk secret-santa! Sorry for being so late!

Like I mentioned earlier, it was my first time drawing Rei and Akai (other than quick sketches).

I think their dynamic is ironically funny (esp with akai being subaru). I feel like they'd actually get along great, if it wasn't for that... incident. At least we have Conan to be their peacemaker for now.

The fact that the three of them all have multiple identities too. (depending if we're including non-canon or minor identities for Shinichi and/or Akai)

(P.S. The sketch is titled: (Cafe Poirot VS Home Cooking showdown: Amuro-niisan's sandwiches vs Subaru-san's curry!) (Amuro brought juice, so he get an extra point, but Subaru provided the glass so technically they're tied...)

Hello @faru-itsok ! I was your secret Santa 🎉

Here’s your gift! I’ve never tried to write romance before so sorry if it’s a little cheesy 😭

[akai-anna]

Hello there, dear @itsokaytomakemosstakes!

I was your assigned gift maker for the @dcmk-exchange event!

Ever since you shared your lovely mugs with me, the thought that Ran would get them as a matching kitty set for herself and Conan, wouldn't leave me alone. So I decided to embrace the idea; for both the headcanon and the personal touch.

Originally I planned something more silly, but the soothing vibes of my first sketch were just so lovely, I went with this instead (especially since I thought you might appreciate a bit of peace).

I hope you'll like this, and I really have enjoyed chatting with you, Moss!

[bakathief]

I may present my gift for @asteralley ! Since you mentioned m23 I tried to work with that and add some angst. I hope you like it!

Thanks to @dcmk-exchange for organizing this event! I had a great time!

Hello @vanroesburg!

I was your @dcmk-exchange Secret Santa! I'm sorry for being late with this, but here's your gift and I hope you like it!

I wanted to go for hurt/comfort with your ideas/prompt but i accidentally hurt my hand so i can't draw sooner and ended up with this instead, i'm sorry :")

the setting is they're in college and roommates! and you can see this as either romantic/platonic relationship!

Hello there! This is my gift for @hexfloog for the @dcmk-exchange ! I've done a ficlet, and two doodles, I hope you enjoy!

Listen, just because Heiji spent a lot of time around Ku- Conan-kun, it didn’t mean he was good with kids. In fact, most children baffled him. Conan-kun was just… a very special case. Hanging out with him did not qualify Heiji to look after kids, no way no how.

Yet, here he was. Alone with Kudo’s little friends.

He sighed, fidgeting with the brim of his hat. This was alright, he only had to watch them for a half an hour or so, what could go wrong in that time? He winced. He knew better than to ask that question.

“Heiji-oniichan!” Ayumi-chan tugged at his jacket. He sighed, looking down into her big blue eyes.

“Yeah?”

“Where’s Conan-kun?” She blinked at him.

“Uhhh…” Kudo was, in fact, somewhere in the bowels of Tokyo chasing down some bombers. Honestly, Heiji hadn’t been given details. Kudo had called him, and had told him very sternly not to let the kids out of his sight. Mere moments later, Ran-chan had ordered him to do the very same thing as she ran off to go track down her wayward charge. He was really regretting not bringing Kazuha with him for once. “I’m not entirely sure,” He shrugged. Better to just be vague.

“Really?” Genta-kun raised an eyebrow incredulously. “I bet you do know, and you’re just trying to keep us from following him,” He huffed. Well, at least half of that was true.

“Conan-kun is always trying to hog all the glory!” Mitsuhiko-kun whined. “Don’t you feel left out too?”

Heiji’s eyebrow twitched. He couldn’t lie, he did hate feeling left behind by Kudo, but that was clearly not what this was. He just wanted his friends to be safe, and currently Heiji was the only one available to do that. This was still important.

…Even if he would really rather be going after a bomber.

“C’mon Heiji-oniichan! Help us go after Conan-kun?” Ayumi-chan blinked up at him with what probably wasn’t even her best puppydog eyes. He sighed, dragging a hand over his face.

“No.”

“Awww…” All three of them wilted.

“But… maybe we could do something to help from afar?” He suggested, watching the light return to their eyes.

“Oh oh oh! Like information work? We can do that!” Mitsuhiko-kun said, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

“Yeah, something like that,” Heiji said, rubbing the back of his head. Agasa-Hakase and the little lady were at some conference somewhere, if he remembered correctly, but surely they wouldn’t mind if Heiji used their computers, right? To keep the kids out of trouble? “Let’s head over to Hakase’s house, and see what we can do, yeah?”

“YEAH!” They cheered, all making a dash for the door. He sighed, getting to his feet and dusting off his jacket. This wasn’t that hard, he could absolutely watch them for an afternoon with no incident.

Right?

[vanroesburg]

So sorry for the delay @knitsweatervests I’m your secret santa for the @dcmk-exchange !! Hope you enjoy these Cat Thoughts for several of the dcmk characters! I really liked researching different cat breeds for them, it was super fun

Dcmk Exchange

Helloo @knockoff-markers i was your exchange this year for @dcmk-exchange , sorry for being this late with the gift but i hope you like it! manifesting more Kaito and Aoko in the movie and the future MK chapters

[nic-42]

here are my gifts for @digitallyfanged ! I'm your little secret santa (ФωФ) [I wanted to make the backgrounds opposite, one is extravagant and colorful while the other seems like an ephemeral and ignored silence so maybe the characters would stand out]

I hope you like them! and I thank @dcmk-exchange for helping me and answering my questions being new (* ´ ▽ ` *)

(little gift doodles under the cut)

I love the relationship of these 3

Gremlin wants juice

Gin is a lady (vodka likes spa manicure)

also sketches to get to the final works, and a little girl's night with Sonoko and Kaito (they criticize people and fall in love with handsome actors)

I had planned to explain the worlds behind the main works but I don't know if it would be too much...

[jigen-papa]

shiranpuri (playing innocent)

hellooo @stockered! I was your secret santa for the @dcmk-exchange!

I decided to take inspiration from that one shot of Haibara in Strategy above the Depths, although I imagine this scene happening in one of the MANY other times the gang goes sailing

[californiaispurple]

hiya @akai-anna, I'm your gift-giver for the @dcmk-exchange !! Thank you soooo much for being patient with me, for the past couple weeks!

When I went through your Vermouth posts and read through them, you inspired me to remember how much I love her character she is so cool!! We'll get more of her backstory one day... one day... !! You actually inspired me to go back and watch her episodes for this, and 10/10 they still hold up :D

(that top Vermouth is actually holding a gun down and that's why her arms are like that, but when I turned on the top layer, I realized the big Vermouth covered the entire gun! Whoops!)

The drawing's not as polished as I would have liked it to be, but I hope that you like it! It's been an absolute blast talking to you these past couple of weeks :D I loved hearing your thoughts about Detco and day to day life (and the doggos. of course the doggos!) I'll reply to your answer to my ask off anon tomorrow cause it's way too late here, (hehe), but I did see you had a busy day today! Good job on that, and hope you can have a good sleep ^_^!

[coneedogawa]

Hi @runecel! I was your secret @dcmk-exchange 'santa'. It was nice to get to know you through asks and such! You mentioned a crossover between Danganronpa and Detective Conan would be cool so I tried to make a character introduction card for the characters you listed(I also added Sonoko just because I came up with an ultimate for her). Sorry it's a tad late, the coloring took longer than I expected. I was originally planning to do more art like of a picture of them in the courtroom but didn't have much time to draw the other stuff I planned since I got sick. Either way I hope you like it! 😊😊😊

Ho Ho Ho 🎅🏻

Hi there! I wish you a happy new year!

I’m already working on your gift 🎁

You had a lot of ideas in your form. It was helpful while brainstorming!

I really liked the idea to think about friendships some more! What do you like the most about those friendships you mentioned?

- DCMK Secret Santa

So the thing I enjoy most about a lot of the platonic relationships in DCMK is how complex they are!

Heiji is, in every sense of the phrase, Shinichi’s ride-or-die, and vice versa. They may bicker and compete, but they also trust each other implicitly and are completely willing to hide bodies or risk their lives if that's what the other one needs. We joke about how obsessed with Shinichi Heiji is, but really what happened is that Heiji went into his first encounter with Shinichi expecting a straightforward competition with someone on his level and came out with tremendous respect for Shinichi and a renewed sense of purpose as a detective. And while Shinichi frequently plays up their competition and is insufferable whenever he wins, he doesn't tolerate it when anyone else looks down on Heiji, and he panics if the guy is in danger. In short, codependent weirdo kings.

Hakuba and Kaito are so precious to me because there's this really profound unspoken understanding between the two of them of a game that they're playing with each other that absolutely no one else is playing or even aware of. Somehow, without really communicating about it in any way, they've established a set of boundaries and agreements that govern how they compete as detective and thief, and despite their outward dislike of one another and their sincere distaste for each other's life paths, that trust between them is so deeply rooted. Hakuba wants to defeat Kaito but he'll do things like withholding evidence or acting as KID’s informant if he believes it's necessary to making their competition fair. Kaito will trust Hakuba not to betray him despite having no reason to do so. They have like one single social skill between them and they're both extremely isolated so instead of forming a normal peer relationship they're socializing via trying to outwit each other. The rituals are so freaking intricate.

I could go on for hours about the Nagano Trio and how I adore every single iteration of their dynamic. Whether they are platonic or romantic it doesn't matter, they've been inextricably entwined with one another since childhood and despite a lot of conflicts and misunderstanding, they've never stopped being entwined. Even while pushing each other away, their actions have been dictated by those bonds. You can see Kansuke’s influence in the path Yui’s and Taka’aki’s lives have taken and vice versa. And a lot of it is really messy and shot through with guilt and regrets, but ultimately they still all care about each other so so much.

Akai and Camel are also just so intriguing. Their relationship is a messy combination of guilt and obligation and deep respect. Camel can't really think of Akai as a normal human being with flaws and shortcomings, and Akai is equally incapable of communicating how isolating that sort of idolization is. They would absolutely die for each other, but they are never going to have a frank discussion of their feelings.

I could keep going, but honestly I feel like I have made my point. DCMK is such a good source of messy, profound platonic relationships and I am so here for it.
