A quick draw of Shiki from Zenith of Stars by @yuesya! As always yuesya have a wonderful mind and writing that I always fall in love with her oc uwu. ヾ⁠(⁠˙⁠❥⁠˙⁠)⁠ﾉ

Tbh I drew in mind trying to depict Shiki who looks kinda normal but not at the same time to find the border of otherworldli-ness? Her face looks a teeny bit too delicate for what I was aiming for. So im telling myself that "she is wearing makeup!" Im actually not sure if I managed to draw Shiki or not?

Im not sure if Yuesya had explained Shiki's looks before and I had missed it hehe.

[No Spoilers] wip for the Obon scene in the Jujutsu Kaisen fanfic Zenith of the Stars by @yuesya

Please if I got any detail wrong tell me ahahahah. I’d like some feedback before rendering. Shiki’s Obi is dark saturated blue and the fastening cloth over it is white.

I also asked in the fanfic comments earlier if Shiki’s ME looks more like Ryougi’s or Tohno’s but I haven’t gotten a reply yet (‘>.<) it would be helpful if you could answer that too.

[yuesya]

update!

New chapter for zenith of stars is up! Shiki gets a birthday party, and things continue moving forward. :)

She is like a cat (fanart)

So, she should (could) sleep everywhere too, at least in theory, right?

Besides

Look at her

She looks adorable

It's almost as if she doesn't have a constant impulse for death and destruction.

Oh, @yuesya ,accept my offering

[amv-1er]

Can't wait for rematch ‼️

Wondering if Akutami is also a fan of Type-Moon's other works, like apparently in an interview that Curtains were based on Fate's Reality Marble, so does that mean there's also bits of other things that were influenced by Tsukihime and Kara no Kyoukai...

Missed Details from Sukuna's Introduction

Did you guys know that there are details we've missed from Sukuna's introduction by Satoru Gojo in chapter 3?

JJK Chapter 3

In this post, I'll go over the few details we've missed because of translation issues or difficulties.

WARNING: Very minor mentions of details beyond season 2 of JJK anime. Please DO NOT INTERACT if you don't want even a tiny bit of spoiler. Also, a bit of a long post ahead.

Missed Detail #1:

Let's start with this panel first.

"Ryomen Sukuna is an imaginary fierce god who has 2 faces and 4 arms."

In this panel, Sukuna was called a 鬼神 (kishin), which in general means a 'fierce god or spirit'. But there are also other meanings beyond this.

鬼神 also refers to gods or spirits/souls of heaven and earth. It is also a Buddhist term that refer to beings with supernatural abilities (e.g. shinigami, rakshasa). 鬼神 can also be pronounced as onigami, which means an invisible (nature) spirit, or a fierce and frightening god or spirit.

So this reflects the belief of people that Sukuna is a fiercely frightening divine being. They might've also believed that he was there even if they couldn't see him, just like how we treat our God(s) in real life (if you're a believer). They are definitely aware of his frightening powers.

It also has another implication behind it. The first kanji, 鬼, means oni. Oni has many translations including demon, evil spirits, trolls and ogres. In addition, during Heian era, the oni creatures were depicted as terrifying monsters that ate people, and there are even literature where oni's were depicted eating people in one mouthful.

Blue Oni, c. 1764. Painting by Soga Shōhaku (1730–1781)

The word 鬼神 is ironic, as well, because of his outward appearance, he can be considered an oni and a divine one at that.

Missed Detail #2:

Below is our last analysis for this post.

"Crowned with the title (name) of Sukuna, we couldn't even eradicate his grave wax that traverse eras as cursed objects."

The title that people gave to this man is 'Sukuna' alone. I don't know why they included 'Ryomen' in the English translation.

JJK Chapter 3 (ENG Translation)

I repeat. The only title they gave this man was 'Sukuna' (宿儺), which means the 'dwelling of exorcism.' 宿 (Suku) means lodging, inn, home, dwellings; while 儺 (Na) means exorcism or the ceremony of driving out evil spirits. What a great name for this guy!

Then what about Ryomen? Where did that come from?

I believe this is the name that they've been calling him for almost his entire life, even before he was called 'King of Curses'. That's right. This is definitely the name - means 'two-faced', btw - that they call him as a kid and became stuck with him until now. Imagine being called 'two-faced' as you grow up. That's most likely Sukuna's life until he was given the title of 'Sukuna'.

His name is ironic in a sense since these people equated him to the (real-life) Ryomen Sukuna who was written in the Nihon Shiki as a vicious force of nature after the imperial family of Japan declared him as such.

So yeah there you have it. Thank you, Gojo, for the wonderful introduction of Sukuna.

I hope this post made your day. Until then.

Can't wait to see what kind of bullshit Crunchyroll cooks up for their nominations this year!

[oddaesthetin]

them as the type of s/o that knows immediately that their partner is pregnant when the owner of the uterus doesn’t even know themselves

—————

“you’re creeping me out.”

“creeping you out how?”

you look at him with a scowl. unsure if he’s doing this on purpose to spite you or if he’s really just as clueless as the face he’s pretending to make. it’s the third time he’s done something like this today. it was six times yesterday, and five times the day before— he kept doing something nice for you. you made sure to keep count of it as it’s not every day that he’ll volunteer to do the laundry, vacuum the house, or go full length and prepare a whole massage treatment at home for you, with him being the masseuse of course. the weirdest thing he’d done today which pushed you to ask that question again is when he insisted to do your paperwork for you because quote-unquote, “you might overwork yourself.” yeah, you'd keep tabs on them, too.

you don’t doubt him being kind, but in your 3 years of relationship, this sure is the first time he’s put so, so much, unusual than the usual amount, of effort in treating you like you’re a queen.

with curious eyes still watching his focused figure, you asked, “why are you acting like this? did you do something bad? are you dying?”

he paused from what he was doing and looked at you for a short moment, before standing up to go to the bathroom.

confusion still hasn’t left your gaze as you followed him in there, and stopped, when he faced you with a grin that you’re not so sure if playful or pure smug. that was also when you noticed the thing he was holding.

“oh no. I am so not pregnant.” a deadpan statement. bewildered by the audacity.

“oh, sweetheart, of course, you are.” he assertively put the stick in your hand and gave you a nudge, which you think is for motivational purposes. “come on, try.”

“did my uterus migrate onto you or something to make you that certain, that I am, indeed, carrying a child?” you asked while pushing him out of the bathroom and closing the door.

“my child.” he giggles. “our child.”

you started to undo your pants when he followed with the usual dramatic sigh, “my sweet honey, you never fail to make me appalled by how you still find the audacity to question my ability and intelligence on these kinds of things.”

you remained quiet doing the business. silence reigned as you both were waiting for the result. just as you were feeling the saying “it feels like forever” with how long it was seemingly taking, he spoke again.

“five minute’s up. it should be done by now.”

you rolled your eyes at the tall know-it-all outside your bathroom door.

with the silent dropping of your jaw, you hastily opened the door and stared him straightly in the eye. your face modeled the emotions of surprise, shock, and amazement, while he let out a loud chuckle and shook his head.

“how the hell did you know?”

with eyes sparkling and lips beaming with smug and glee, crossed arms, he leaned against the door frame. “aside from the fact that I’m undoubtedly absolutely smart, if it’s you, of course, I’ll know.”

—-

and u kissed after that and did all the scenarios you wanna have on this little drabble’s ending lol

— Osamu Dazai, (and Nakahara Chuuya, YES YES I SEE HIM BEIN LIKE THIS except for the tall part JK), Edogawa Ranpo, Saigiku Jouno, Ryouta Kise, Tsukishima Kei, Rintarou Suna, Oikawa Toruu, Tetsurou Kuroo, Satori Tendou, Koshi Sugawara, Yaku Morisuke, (and Terushima Yuuji, too!), Satoru Gojo, Itadori Yuuji, Souma Shiki

this one’s supposedly for Dazai only but I remembered a lot of these characters while writing so y the hell not

Story Under the Cut:

The Story:

The AU begins with a god named Agoha sitting in his throne. He was a powerful and arrogant god, yet was a bored one. He needs something to satisfy his hunger.

And it came to him.

You see, Agoha was a battle hungry god, as he fought many gods and killed them. However, he soon fought Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. The Second Magic user easily defeated Agoha, leaving the god filled with a exhilarating feeling.

So he decides to summon characters from various universe to see who can defeat him. However, by doing so, he messes with the timeline of these universes, grabbing Kischur's attention. Seeing that a old enemy of his is messing up of those universes' timelines, Kischur can't do anything at the moment for now, however, he knows Rin can do something about it due to traning her.

With our characters, they are summoned in a fractured land separated into 8 sections:

Section 1: Arctic Forest

Section 2: Humid Tundra

Section 3: Shadow Jungle

Section 4: Demonic Beach

Section 5: Abandoned Empire

Section 6: Underworld City

Section 7: Sky Land

Section 8: Mad God's Domain

With this in mind, the story is going to determine how our characters navigate this strange new land while also forming new relationships.

----------------------------------------------------------

Note: I'll be creating a character profile for Agoha for those that want to know more about him. But other than that, ask me questions about this crossover au!

Gojo Shiki from Zenith of Stars, for @collectivetrash

[exiaax]

@yuesya

Ok I finished it! And added long hair for Shiki! I truly cooked - Throughout twitter and tumblr, I alone am the deluded one

[No Spoilers] wip for the Obon scene in the Jujutsu Kaisen fanfic Zenith of the Stars by @yuesya

Please if I got any detail wrong tell me ahahahah. I’d like some feedback before rendering. Shiki’s Obi is dark saturated blue and the fastening cloth over it is white.

[yuesya]

 “I wonder what she sees in you?”

Yuzuki says nothing, keeping his head lowered deferentially and his eyes cast downwards upon the ground. In front of him, there is nothing but the sound of slow footfalls as the elder paces in silence. Measured, and thoughtful.

“Well? Have you nothing to say for yourself?”

“This one does not understand what the venerable elder is asking,” Yuzuki responds politely.

“Ha!” Gojo Motozane scoffs. His feet come to a stop directly in front of him. “Don’t be obtuse, boy. You’re a clever one, aren’t you? Of all her potential suitors, Shiki chose you. Weak, and ill… tell me, what pretty words did you utter to win the heart of the Gojo Clan’s flower?”

Motozane-sama’s words are severe, cutting. It is a rather uncharacteristic tone for the most respected elder of the Gojo Clan to take, but under the current circumstances, it’s… understandable.

Gojo Shiki. The princess of the Gojo Clan, their most powerful sorcerer -the best card that the Gojo Clan had against the Fujiwaras. Who was blessed with a powerful cursed technique, on top of possessing cursed eyes. There was no doubt that the clan wished for her to find a good match when it came to marriage, for her children to inherit the same potential–

But instead, she chose Yuzuki.

She chose… him.

Weak, sickly Yuzuki. Who was only alive by virtue of pity, and yet…

…

He knows that… he knows that he’s not worthy of her. Elder Motozane is not the first to express this attitude towards Yuzuki, and he will not be the last. The most powerful sorcerer of the Gojo Clan, marrying a sickly man like him…

It still feels like a dream, sometimes. That the clan’s beloved lady chose him, chose Gojo Yuzuki out of all her suitors.

It’s… only natural, that others are discontent over her decision. Yet none would challenge her, not after the example that she’d made of the last person to do so, so it falls to Yuzuki to bear the brunt of the clan’s displeasure.

… Lady Shiki is not one for politics or mind games. She is far too busy with her work as a sorcerer to be tied down by such trivial matters, and Yuzuki does not wish to trouble her–

So…

So, it’s fine. It’s fine. Yuzuki is braced for his clan’s displeasure; he’d known that this was inevitable, ever since he made the decision to take his beloved lady’s hand.

He knows that he’s not a good match for her. But, much like any sorcerer–

Above all, Yuzuki is selfish.

(Selfish, and foolishly, hopelessly in love.)

New Chapter, Ah Yeah!

Excerpts below the cut

(Spoilers, duh)

Excerpt 1:

“What’s going on?”  Honestly, I’m not sure I want to know. Akemi smiles pleasantly.  “Settling a difference of opinion.” “On my front porch?” I inquire dryly. At that moment, Takuma’s eyes get wide and he points at me, excitement coloring his tone.  “Oh, you’re outside by yourself!  Heck yeah!” “My wardens decided to lessen my sentence a bit.” “’Bout time!” he crows, delighted.  “Thought you were gonna die of boredom if you stayed locked up much longer.” “Well, it was either that or killing them for entertainment.”  I shrug nonchalantly, like I hadn’t just inserted murderous intentions into a normal conversation.  I wait for them to take that as a joke and laugh, but they just kind of look at the ground awkwardly. …Okay?  They’re acting weird. “Don’t you attract Spirits, though?  Are you safe?” Akemi points out. And when I pull out the charm that Gojo gave me, Takuma elbows forward to take the glass bead in his palm.  His eyebrows scrunch up cutely and he leans in super close.  All Sorcerers apparently abhor personal space. Which is all well and good until Beans launches herself from my cleavage in a sneak attack, clasping onto the younger teen’s face with her wings.  Takuma lets out an undignified ‘eep’, scrambling backwards.  That’s what he gets for muscling his way into my bubble.  If only Beans could do that to Gojo—I’d have the ultimate protector, saving me form touchy-feely weirdos. He pulls the Shiki off, sucking in air and fanning himself like a dainty woman about to faint. Beans comes back to rest on the top of my head, planting herself on my crown and letting out a tiny, angry roar.  I reach up to stroke under her chin with my finger.  Good beans, I think affectionately.  Takuma finally collects himself, even as his sister has to hold her gut form laughing at his misfortune. “You have a charm like Ieiri,” the young Sorcerer notes.  I immediately note the lack of honorific, but don’t really think much of it.  Instead, it’s his words that get my attention. I peer down at the blue bead.  “She has one too, huh?”  I guess that makes sense; Gojo is all about fiercely guarding the two people he actually cares about in this world.  And now he’s offered the same protection to his precious little informant.  I should feel privileged, but him walking in on my masturbation session because of this little charm still lives in my head rent free. “It’s on her wrist,” he says, gesturing to his own. I think back and try to remember if I’d noticed a bracelet before, but I’m not really that observant.  At least I know to ask about it next time she pops up, I guess.  It’d be nice to know exactly what this charm can do, beside allow Gojo to be the world’s most efficient stalker-slash-cockblock. I shake my head to clear out the fuzz and offer my guests a little grin.  “So, what brings you guys here?” “Oh, Ma told us to come check—” Akemi throws her hand over her brother’s mouth, cutting him off.  “To check to see if you could help me with something!” she says a bit too excitedly. “What do you need help with?” I ask, distrust laced through my words. “I’m having trouble in English class, and I know that it’s your first language.  Do you think you can help me?” Uh huh.  Well, that’s not suspicious at all.  They’re clearly here to appease their mom.  And they’re fibbing about it. I cross my arms and raise a single eyebrow questioningly, doubt painted over my features.  Akemi holds up what looks to be a backpack, shaking it as though in offering.  Clever, bringing an item to use as an excuse.  The other young woman puts on her best puppy dog face, making her green eyes appear large and watery all while her lower lip quivers ever so slightly. I’m a sucker, I think with resignation as I step aside to welcome them in.

Excerpt 2:

I pinch off a section of cake, offering it to her as tribute.  The sweet treat is quickly gobbled up, and she sniffs at my fingers for more.  I roll my eyes at the gluttonous Shiki and give her another sizeable chunk.  This one, she eats a little slower.  And when she’s done, she gives me a friendly nip at the tip of my thumb and a sweet chirp.  Content with the cake for now, she curls up around my throat and prepares to sleep.  I note that she bites her own tail so that she doesn’t slip off backwards. I have a living necklace, I think.  When I pat her, she wriggles to get closer to me, letting out a contented sigh. Somebody’s affectionate today. Then again, she’s been clingy since this morning for whatever reason. Rolling my eyes at the silly creature, I peer down at my phone.  Time to see what’s up next on my adventure.  I scroll for a few minutes, listening to the whistling snores that my Shiki puts off like it’s the most soothing music known to man. A shadow falls over me, blocking the light, but I ignore it.  Until somebody clears their throat. “Excuse me, Miss.”  I think I’ve heard the voice before, but I’m not quite sure where.  Maybe he’s another friendly character from the manga? Then I roll my eyes at the thought.  Yeah, right.  What are the odds of meeting another manga character in a city as bis as Tokyo?   He’s probably just some dude that I’ve met in passing—maybe the clerk at the hotel I stayed at my first night here?
