#had fun with the colours on this ehehe

[ech0light]

unalive is such a fucking stupid and unimaginative word i hate it so fucking much. like, sure, if you do something like youtube or a platform like that professionally i get censoring for the sake of getting paid for your work (which is an entirely different issue but we don’t need to get into that), but unalive???? come ON bro. surely you can think of something more creative than the sickeningly tiktok-sterile “unalive”, especially if the context is more serious and it isn’t just a goofy lil word. just say kill and bleep it if you’re so worried. fucks sake.

[101maverick]

one shot with comic dick grayson where you guys get into a small fight and it gets to the point that when you spar together, he purposefully pins you to the ground to make you listen to his apology🫢

There’s Something in Your Eyes

You are being stupid, really.

Logically, you know Dick loves you.

Logically, you know there is nothing going on between them.

Logically, you know Dick is an extremely influential hero, and that basically everyone in the hero community looks up to him since he’s been in it for forever, which makes it normal for him to have had many flings with people he still to this day works with.

However, logic doesn’t stop jealousy from burning in the pit of your stomach every time you see him interacting with one of them.

It’s not even one particular event that sets you off, more so a series of tiny little things.

Each reunion, each debrief, each cheesy quip, each mission, they all pile up until what was once only a tiny twinge of jealousy has turned into a gaping hole in your chest, out of which comes only anger and insecurity.

You aren’t an intergalactic princess like Koriand’r.

You aren’t an historic sidekick partner and lifelong friend like Barbara Gordon.

You aren’t some charming top-model or Lord-knows-what-else that his past stories surely are.

You’re just you, and while you don’t necessarily think badly of yourself, nowadays you aren’t sure that ‘you’ is enough.

And all of this is so unfounded that you feel silly at the thought of even voicing it, and you really didn't mean to make a fuss, but when Dick comes home after the umpteenth space mission with the Titans, raving about Starfire's intergalactic ambassador skills, you can't help the irritated quip that makes it's way past your lips.

“Cause she’s always so amazing, isn’t she?” You huff. Satisfaction coils in your gut, a bit of the tension inside you easing as a bit of your pent-up frustration finally finds release. You stifle it as best you can.

At that Dick looks up at you, startled. You feel your previous satisfaction wither right alongside the happiness in his eyes.

You are in your shared apartment’s kitchen, the island between you as he sits on a stool while you lean against the counter.

“What?” He asks, confused. His expression is rapidly morphing, reminding you of something awfully akin to a kicked puppy.

You backtrack as fast as possible. “Nothing, don’t think about it.”

Shame colours your cheeks, and their sting joins the burning of your mounting shame, bubbling under your skin. You turn your body away from him, not wanting him to see.

Dick isn’t having that though, because your boyfriend, your sweet and perceptive boyfriend, sees the way your shoulders are hunched and your brow is slightly furrowed and immediately clocks what your remark was all about.

He shoots you a concerned glance. “Babe, you alright?” He asks while sliding off the barstool, making his way around the kitchen island. Ever the tactful one, as always. “If there’s something bothering you, we can talk about it—”

You cut him off. “I said it’s nothing. There’s nothing to talk about.” The irritation in your voice is a poor shield to hide behind, a hastily put-together cloak of dryness and hardened stares for your shame to shroud itself in.

Dick remains standing there, halfway around the kitchen island, as you make your exit to the bedroom.

————————————

The day passes, and you keep your distance. Just the thought of how Dick would react to you voicing your insecurities, the absolute hurt that would mar his features at his girlfriend accusing him of cheating of all things, makes the flame of shame and self-hatred re-ignite in your ribcage, inflaming your lungs with every breath.

You manage to deflect any attempts at confrontation in the car, spending the whole ride to the Manor looking out the window and blasting music through your earphones.

————————————

It all comes to a head in the Batcave, obviously.

You’re training in a corner of the gym area, going through your usual routine. Dick comes up to where you are and stands there, waiting for you to pay attention.

After a solid five minutes of him standing there unmoving and of you stubbornly ignoring him you cave and pause your reps. You keep your eyes stubbornly fixed ahead of you.

He tosses you a roll of bandages. “You up for a spar?” His voice is quiet. Your resolve breaks.

You grab the bandages and swiftly wrap your hands. He stays watching you the whole time. You wonder wether his gaze is damning or merely analytical.

When you’re done you move to the training mats. Getting into position is reflex by now, readying your stance and falling into a weird stand-off, both waiting for the other to swing first. You keep your eyes fixed to a spot above his shoulder.

You attack first, lunging at him and throwing a right hook, meanwhile trying to kick his feet off of him.

Dick swiftly avoids your punch, sidestepping it and catching your entire arm in his grip. He uses that to leverage your body over his shoulder, rendering useless your attempt at getting him off-balance.

You recover in mid-air, landing in a roll and getting back up while he’s still in the process of turning toward you, and manage to land a punch to his stomach.

He sputters but manages to step aside in time to avoid your other arm coming to enclose on his waist, and your momentum makes you loose your balance.

You go for another roll, but before you can do more than turn on your back you find yourself locked into a full-body pin.

Dick’s almost laying on top of you, his knees on either side of your hips, his chest pressing on yours so his bodyweight weighs you down too much to get up.

His forearms are laying on either side of your head, though. You could easily slide your arms out from where he’s got them pinned against your sides and make him loose his balance, if you wanted.

Trapped like this, though, your face inches from his, you have no choice but to stare right into his eyes.

What you find there stops you from fighting.

His expression his open, his brows slightly furrowed. In those oceans he’s got for irises swims something you aren’t sure you know the name of, but it doesn’t burn you and you aren’t sure you like that. Aren’t sure you want the unfamiliarity of it to keep festering.

Dick Grayson reads people like one does library handouts, laid bare with all their weathered discolouration and all their folded corners for whoever comes across to see. You are no exception.

So why, just why in the hell doesn’t his gaze burn? Why doesn’t it scorch you with the familiar flames of hatred, resentment and anger?

You want to turn away. You do, really. Aren’t sure you can keep looking into those mariana-trench deep wells of something you can’t name without drowning. You steel yourself, though. You have a feeling that looking away would be too much like a condemned man flipping the switch of the electric chair himself. You’re gonna leave that job to him.

“You know I hate it when there’s something wrong but you won’t tell me about it.”

His voice is soft. It doesn’t burn. That damned something permeates it, as well.

“You already know everything you need to. What’s the point in making a bigger fool of myself?”

The shame stings your cheeks. The way the something remains plastered on his face unperturbed instead of giving way to something fiery soothes it. The lack of condemnation rips the confession from your lips.

“I’m sorry.”

The admission. You’re right, it says. Everything you read in that torn-up book of my soul is true. Add another tear to it’s pages. Rip it to shreds.

How could you? How could you have, even second-handedly, doubted his loyalty? How could you have been so self-absorbed and childishly jealous, when that forsaken something embeds itself into every fibre of his being? While it washes over you to soothe every burn and extinguish every flame you yourself caused?

Dick’s expression changes. It morphs. The something is joined by something else now, not unlike a breeze parting clouds previously hanging in a greyed sky.

“It’s okay. I just wish we’d work together when there’s something bothering one of us.”

It’s okay. Absolution.

You think the sky would’ve parted. You think you should be hearing trumpets right now.

You are reminded, then, that there is a whole world outside of this cave. That who you have in front of you is just a man, and that the universe is filled with something bigger than yourselves.

But even with this knowledge at the forefront of your mind, here, with Dick’s forearms resting on either side of your head, your entire universe boils down to him. To his almost-creaseless brow. To his something-filled irises.

And in this moment of clarity you realise that right now, with all your little hurts bare to see, his entire universe boils down to you.

“Yeah. Let’s.”

You wish you had more to say. You wish your brain could come up with something more substantial.

You hope the something shining in your eyes is enough.

It feels a lot like love.

Tickletober Day 6: Secret

Words: 1041 Note: Secret secret is actually so good. T/w: Potential embarrassment, FLUFF @minnielvrr Lee: Hyunjin Ler: Jisung

“Hyunjin-ah, where are you? Chan said that we’re going to go decide on the dorm pairs, and you’re the only one not there!” Jisung calls out through the usually loud hallways, now pin-drop silent as he walks through the living room towards the older’s room. The entire group had already gone to the shared dorm of 3RACHA and Hyunjin to decide on their future dorm pairs, all except Hyunjin himself. The pristine dancer who loved to be on time was now nowhere to be seen, even after a concerned Changbin threatened to kiss him if he didn’t come out in the next minute, only heightening the group's worry more. 

“Hyung? Are you there? Did you get kidnapped by another cult again?! Please tell me you’re okay, c’mon Jinnie, just come out!” Jisung continued to anxiously yell, but his echoing voice returned back to him almost immediately, making him swallow back his fear before standing in front of the artist’s room with trembling limbs. Knocking the door with a shaky fist, he was surprised to find that Hyunjin almost immediately responded; had he not heard them this entire time or something? But that would be impossible, given the ferret’s extraordinary sense of hearing… 

“I-I’m there. I’ll come out soon, I promise!” He heard Hyunjin from the other side of the door, but something about his voice sounded off to the ace. It wasn't different where it felt like something had possessed his soul, more of, just as uneasy as the rest of the members were, and for what reason Jisung didn’t know. Gathering up the last of his nerves, he knocked on the door yet again, gnawing at his lower lip nervously; despite his iron resolve forcing him to get to know what was happening to his poor Jinnie. 

“Please let me in Hyunjin, you’re really worrying me here, and the members too! We won’t make fun of you if anything happens to you, I promise on all the cheesecake and my mother too!” Jisung swears, beginning to knock a little faster and frantic now. It wasn’t that he was pounding or anything, but it was enough to get the artist shuffling faster around the room, the ace could swear he heard the sounds of paint brushes being put away; did he spend a little too long spaced out in another painting yet again? Leaning against the door and slumping down with a sigh, he hums impatiently, only to scream when the door suddenly swung open, making him fall on his back. 

“Just what have you been doing- Is- Is that paint on your stomach? Aww, don’t tell me you were trying to tickle yourself now Hyung ah~” Jisung’s personality turned an immediate 180 at the sight of the flustered artist in front of him, fingers painted with a multitude of bright colours that painted himself red at the crime scene, especially on his entire waist, shirt gone to hell and exposing his entire painted waist. One would’ve thought it wasn’t anything special, simply a fellow artist experimenting with new types of ways of drawing, but to the members? Oh he was not getting away with any secrets that he tried to hide through his work. 

“D-Don’t tell anyone, it’s meant to be a s-secret, please…” The ace swore his heart exploded like a balloon with too much helium when he saw the pouting and pleading look in Hyunjin’s eyes, bashfully fiddling with his fingers that were coated in dried paint too, only adding to his adorable look. Jisung smiled warmly, squeezing the older’s cheek comfortingly before tracing some of the splotches on his bare stomach teasingly. Of course the last thing he wanted was for Hyunjin to genuinely feel uncomfortable about having his little secret exposed, but who was he not to have a little fun experimenting with the canvas at hand here?

“Ehehe! Wahahait!” Hyunjin whined pitifully under the teasing fingers, being pushed all the way back into the room as Han gleefully kicked the door closed gently, screaming to the members that Hyunjin needed a little ‘alone time’, thankfully the members were as understanding as ever and gave the duo as much time as they needed, leaving a sneaky Jisung to unravel the secret that Hyunjin had tried so desperately to keep away from the members; he should’ve known that Jisung was actually the number one detective when it came to these things, trust him! 

“Wait? But why~? I think the colours mean something, Hyunjin ah! Is red a bad spot, hm~” Jisung cooed, before scratching at the red splotch that covered his underarms, earning an ear shattering scream that made Han quickly pull away, not wanting to pull any attention towards him and potentially attract members to ruin the secret they were sharing together. He moved his fingers back to a more blue spot, assuming to be less sensitive at his stomach, scribbling along the area to earn the cutest and softest little squeaks, or screams ever. 

“Jisuhuhung! H-Have sohohome mehehercy! Plehehease!” Hyunjin begged under the gentle touch, cheeks flushed such a bright red that it matched the red paint on his underarms, finally deterring a mischievous Han away from his bare torso to admire the ‘canvas’ that he’s created of his own hyung, placing a tiny smooch on his forehead in a silent compliment that he’s done so well at being quiet of his secret and definitely trusting the quokka enough to let him in on something he knew was an uncomfortable topic for the poor ferret. 

“Okay okay, let’s get you cleaned up, don’t want the members finding out this cute secret of yours before me now~” Jisung smiles at the way Hyunjin squeals at the potential event happening, grabbing a wet napkin from the artist’s nightstand, presumed to help clean off the mess he made before rubbing firmly at the coloured splotches, ensuring that it didn’t tickle so the ferret wouldn’t scream every few seconds. After he was done, the duo walked back into the living room to be welcomed with open arms, although Hyunjin now seemed much more relaxed than he was previously.

He was definitely planning some sort of revenge though, even if Han was being pretty nice to him, all gratefulness aside.

OUROBORO art

Eheh, fun fact, I drew Hylia reaching with her left arm but it should have been her right. I'm only now realising this as I'm posting, so I won't be going back to fix it :')

I adore Rook's ancient attire.

Strawberry blonde Hylia :)

Uriel has been a continual work in progress to the point I had to go back and make edits to chapters to keep up lol.

Here is a sort of alternate design for Zonai/Rauru and Mineru that I feel fits better. It's mostly their legs as I felt they were too humanoid in TOTK. A few other minor details like a tail and further developed horns.

I also headcanon the colour of the underside of their hair/mane correlates with their magic. Rauru has golden which is light. Mineru has a very pale purple for spirit. It also carries over to their claws/nails.

Rauru, as male, as more tuffs, like a lion would have a mane.

Their clothing here isn't too important, just an alternate outfit really.

And lastly, Dragon Roost. This is the town that Rook established just outside of Castle Town ruins. It began just as Lookout Landing but evolved as Rook's goals grew.

The story is up :3

[am4ura]

So I had this AU idea that is idk complicated but I need to share it somehow.

So basically what if the unit leaders / sekai owners were spirits linked to their Sekai, that in this case is more like a domain.

Leonii's instead of a school would be a space like zone. Mmj's instead of a stage would be a sky, kinda similar to the background in "hear me hopeful show" set. Empty Sekai would stay kind of the same. I haven't had any ideas for street or wonderland Sekai.

The Sekai owners (or Sekai spirits) have all characteristics relevant to their Sekai.

Ichika is mostly made of stars and nebulae. With her hair and parts of her body moving and flowing around. She also has hollow eyes that light up with little stars when she's happy.

Minori Is a mix of an Angel and a light being. She's mostly made of light, but has a projection of her body making her look kinda like a biblically accurate angel? She has lots of feathers around her body and a bandage covering her eyes (that are completely made of blinding lights)

Kohane is made of coloured smokes, like the ones of spray pain bottles. She can change colour and size based on her appearance. She can also turn herself into graffiti. She does that a lot to blend in and hide.

Tsukasa shares a lot of characteristics with an hippogryph, with mane and wings of light/fire. He also has hooves instead of feet. Like. A mix of a phoenix and a Pegasus.

Mafuyu (not kanade BC mafuyu is the Sekai owner) is very similar to a banshee. Ghostly and transparent appearance, covered in veils to hide herself and her suffering. She would also kinda look like a ragdoll, with parts of her body and face stitched together.

There are lots of legends about these sekais and Sekai spirits. It's said that if you're too passionate about something or too determined to reach a goal, you will get absorbed by one of these domains and eaten by the spirit. These Sekai spirits are also said to be lost kids with a big passion for something, but never managed to make it a thing.

So imagine the other members of the unit being so determined with their music, that one day they all wake up in this unknown unreal place and find basically a god just chilling there.

The Sekai spirits are all very lonely at the end and they just wanted someone to spend time with.

Ichika would at first be shy and try to not approach the rest of leoneed in fear of scaring them or be a burden, but in the end they would all try to make her smile and feel less lonely (Saki does the first steps), since it reminded them of their lost childhood friend.

Minori would immediately rush to get to know mmj. She gets captivated by all of them in a short time and would admire their beauty and their grace. At first mmj is kinda overwhelmed by this bright (eheh) presence, but they quickly start to love her. Haruka in particular, finding the way this spirit talks similar to the way one of her fans would write her letters.

Kohane would at first hide, scared of people she doesn't know, but would then slowly introduce herself only to an. An gets immediately a big liking of her, seeing in kohane the perfect partner she kept seeing in her dreams. When kohane gains more courage she shows herself to akitoya too. I also imagine this fun scene where an and kohane are talking, then akito reaches to an, kohane disappears and akito thinks an is crazy for talking alone.

Tsukasa would try to show off as the "mighty blazing Sekai spirit" but would cringefail anyways. Wxs seems unfazed by that, actually being interested in how tsukasa matches almost perfectly the description of the main character of a famous theatre show about a fantasy world.

Mafuyu hides, but not like kohane or Ichika. She wants to be alone. She accepted her fate of being forgotten and having to suffer alone. She tries to push the other members of niigo away, but they are resilient in trying to put an end to her pain (mostly kanade) because they know the same feeling. In the end mafuyu accepts their warmth.

Uhhh idk I think that's it. Sorry for the long yap, ideas kept flowing like a river. I might try to doodle something one day.

[hils79]

Catching up on some of the things I've been tagged in. Some of these are very old. So sorry. I'm crap.

Fic author interview! I was tagged by the fantastic @lynne-monstr

No-pressure tagging: @pangzi @foxofninetales @merinnan @killerandhealerqueen @strandedchesspiece @thesilversun @silver-colour

How many works do you have on AO3?

266 as of now

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,467,370 words however some of those words are on collaborative fics. I don't know how to filter out the ones I wrote by myself but it's well over the 1,000,000 mark and that makes me happy

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Unleashed  (MCU, Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers) - 801 kudos

Visible to All But Me - (DMBJ, Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling) - 666 kudos (ehehe 😈)

The Truth About Cats, Dogs and Penguins - (Men's Hockey RPF. Evgeni Malkin/Sidney Crosby) - 621 kudos

In which Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are surprisingly capable parents - (MCU, Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers) - 530 kudos

Not The Russian Way- (The Man From UNCLE movie, Ilya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo/Gaby Teller) - 516 kudos

I find it fascinating that a DMBJ fic is in my top 5. The other fics are all pretty old and in large and popular fandoms. I think it was just good timing in that I posted when a lot of people who have since moved on to other fandoms were into DMBJ off the back of Ultimate Note airing.

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try! I think it's just polite to at least say thank you. Occasionally I do forget of miss one though.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I don't really do sad or angsty endings

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Yeah, pretty much all of them.

7. Do you write crossovers?

Very rarely. I think all my crossovers have been co-written with other people.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not hate exactly, but somone once accused me of plagiarism because I posted a fic with vaguely similar themes to one of theirs. Luckily for me this was back in the LJ days where there was a comm specifically for reviewing accusations of plagiarism where independent people would review both fics. Of course they ruled in my favour but it was really fucking upsetting at the time.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I have, but I prefer not to.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I am aware of.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have! Someone translated one of my MCU fics into Chinese which made me very happy.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, a bunch of times! It can be really fun if you get along well with the people you're writing with.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

That's like asking me what my favourite fandom is. My favourite ship is whatever ship I am into at the time.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

RIP my au for The Untamed where Lotus Pier was a hotel that famous musician Lan Wangji came to stay in while he was on tour.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Probably dialogue or soft domestic fluff

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Description. A beta reader recently commented that in one of my fics I hadn't actually described what anyone looks like. I just want them to talk and kiss, okay?

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Not full dialogue, no, but now that I've started writing in Chinese fandoms I think there are some words that can be used. Generally only terms of address, though. Like someone calling someone 'laoban'

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

I do still kind of want to write some Mysterious Lotus Casebook fic. At least one at any rate.

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written

Juxtaposition (DMBJ, Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling)

I don't generally write AUs, and I definitely have never written anything close to this long before. It took me a year to write it and I am very proud of it.

[ariniekat]

AAAAAAAAAAH. I did say i like to think of the coven as groups of roommates, or as i like to say broommates. I wanted to draw the groups for a while, I might make some changes or updates later and actually uh try colouring, these are my silly lil designs, with some fun trivia for the characters i have behind them.... I technically did this before Medusa's silhouette came out and just wanted to keep the 1920s vibes for this character, hehe but here we are. ~~~ Medusa - Medelyn Stone She's old money type rich, build up wealth over the centuries and now mostly relaxes in her disposable income though occasionally does assist with VM's store. Her lil snakes are her babies and are very spoilt. They also snore, very loudly, lil hissing army. Good for her that both her roommates are essentially blind, no accidental stoning. Voodoo Master - Vincent Mathews

Owner of V&M toyshop and tailors, the original store was run by him and his partner Morris until they had a disagreement and Morris ended up leaving, when he died (of totally natural causes) Vincent was most disappointed to be completely out of the will. Vincent is more new money though he likes to pretend he is old money. Being vaguely Victorian inspired most of his paints and dyes involve some toxic chemicals, such as the classic lead paints or Arsenic green, these have caused a number of health issues and he's probably going to die before he reaches 35 but it's fine. He's totally fine. His sight might have deteriorated over the years but his ambitions certainly won't. Dreamweaver- Honestly i just call her Weaver I really wanted her to have spider vibes, and then also multiple limbs and i just thought angel???? So ehehe, maybe she should have more limbs. She's supposed to look unassuming, charming and dainty damsel, docile and fair yet slightly off perhaps some can tell she's not human but she's such and mild and fair maiden. She tends to hum and sing, she eats other spiders sometimes, and weaves the dreams of people like threads of her web. She speaks in ancient tongues sometimes, and utters gospel verses in her sleep- assuming she sleeps, it's hard to tell.

Medelyn and Vincent have very masochism tango married energy. Duly devoted and a little fucked up.

Alternative title for this squad is two eldritch beings and the weird sickly lil guy they picked up off the street like a wet kitten.

A3! Miyoshi Kazunari - Translation [N] Journey to the Colours

*Please read disclaimer on blog

---

Misumi: The picture of the Triangle Tenjiku is complete~! Ehehe~. I had fun drawing with Tenma~!

Tenma: Basically all I did was colour it in.

Kazunari: It turned into a super unique Tenjiku though! Everyone tried drawing the Tenjiku from their imagination… And the fantasy-filled Tenjiku, dreamy Tenjiku, and triangle Tenjiku were all totes adorbs!

Yuki: Yeah, you can clearly see what everyone likes.

Kumon: Alright, last up is Kazu-san!

Muku: I can’t wait to see what kind of Tenjiku Kazu-kun draws.

Kazunari: Hehe. I’ll draw with everything I have to meet your expectations ☆ First~…

*draws*

Tenma: …A round building?

Kumon: Huh~? I feel like I might’ve seen that building before…

Kazunari: That’s not all! Next is~…

*draws*

Kumon: Ah, an elephant!

Muku: There’s a person wearing a turban riding the elephant.

Yuki: Plus he’s holding curry.

Misumi: The elephant is adorable~.

Tenma: Hold on, this looks strangely specific.

Muku: This is… it looks like there’s lots of things related to India…?

Kumon: Ahh! I see what you mean!

Yuki: Why did you draw such an Indian-inspired drawing?

Kazunari: Fufufu… because…

*door opens*

Tsuzuru: Oh, Summer troupe’s all together? What are you guys doing?

Tenma: All of us are drawing the Tenjiku from our own imaginations.

Yuki: Everyone in Spring troupe also drew their own moon residents, didn’t they?

Tsuzuru: Ah, I see. That sounds fun.

Misumi: What kinda place to do you think Tenjiku is, Tsuzuru~?

Tsuzuru: Eh? What kind of place… Tenjiku is India, isn’t it?

Kumon: EHH!? Really!?

Tsuzuru: It’s fantasy in the story this time though.

Yuki: That’s true, but…

Muku: So Kazu-kun was drawing an Indian-inspired drawing because…

Tenma: Don’t tell me—he knew that from the start?

Kazunari: Exposed ☆

Tenma: Hey, that’s not fair!

Kazunari; Ahaha. Sorry, fam~! But it’s like Tsuzurun said. The story this time is fantasy, so it’s not India straight-up. We were able to see all the Tenjiku’s everyone thought up. And above all, it was fun. So it’s all okay!

Made Me - Make you: Chapter 6

Location: Pretty Room Characters: Tetora, Arashi, Jun & HiMERU

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ< The day after the official closing of “Pretty Room”. >

Arashi: Hello~♪

Manager, how was it, running the cafe of your dreams?

Jun: …It was a lot of work, but a fun and happy time, you say? I understand how you feel.

I’m saying this a day late, but good job handling everything.

Tetora: Hmm? What’s this booklet?

…The customers wrote their thoughts down? You’re giving us a copy?

Arashi: You made four photocopies? Thanks, manager ♪

(...Oh? That’s Izumi-chan’s handwriting.)

(And this is Leo-kun’s. It seems Tsukasa-chan and Ritsu-chan also came by.)

(They should’ve told me they did…)

(All the comments are written so kindly. I’m happy to see they enjoyed themselves.)

(I need to thank them later. Thanks, guys…♪)

HiMERU: …After a quick read, it seems there were more female customers at the beginning.

But about the time after the tofu and okra hamburg steak was added to the menu, more male customers came along.

Thanks to Nagumo and Sazanami posting about it on their social media, it seems it’s gotten quite popular with those who work out.

It must have been all thanks to the advertising. Well done on that front, Narukami-san.

Arashi: Thanks. I think it’s all thanks to the “Special Pretty Advisors” helping out, though.

We had the chance to give everyone a pretty experience. Thank you guys so much for helping.

Jun: Don’t mention it. I was pretty surprised when I was chosen to be an advisor.

But I gotta admit it’s been pretty fun~

…Hm? What’s wrong, manager?

Arashi: We can take as many things as we like from the boutique as thanks?

That makes me happy, but how about we just take one thing instead? I feel like if we took as much as we wanted, it wouldn’t feel special anymore.

…Ehehe. Thanks, then I’ll take you up on that offer.

We’ll talk more about the store later over some tea.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ< Almost an hour later. At the boutique Arashi’s friend runs. >

HiMERU: …………

Jun: …HiMERU, you’re looking at a lot of cute character merch~

This isn’t really my thing… Nagumo-kun, it’s hard to pick stuff out in a store like this, right?

Tetora: Heheh ♪ I don’t mind stuff like this at all!

I actually use stuff like this.

Jun: Oh, that’s surprising~ I thought you’d prefer something more manly.

Arashi: Jun-chan, have you picked anything?

Jun: Nope, not yet.

I don’t really shop at these kinds of places, so I don’t think any of the things here suit me.

Arashi: Ehehe. Everything feels a bit weird at first.

Like the first time you wore something different from your unit’s usual colours or when you first moved into Seisou Hall. It’s the same feeling, right?

I’ll show you around, so let’s enjoy the weird feeling together.

Jun: O–Okay. I hope there’ll be something that suits me~

Arashi: People think it’s cute if a boy nonchalantly carries something cute with him, you know?

For example… What about this hand cream?

Jun: Oh, the design isn't overly cute. I think I could use this in my everyday life.

Arashi: Ehehe. I’m happy you like it.

Being pretty is the essence of life! Bringing a bit of cuteness into your monotonous life can lift your spirits right up, you know? I hope everyone can enjoy their own pretty colour…♪

I've had DR very much on the back burner lately, so I haven't been up to much. I'm not abandoning my mod or anything, just taking a hiatus!

Though I will say that I was able to get something fun done recently ehehe

Custom Maki-coloured Monopad theme!

[kazuyummy]

hi hi!! hope u are doing well<33 I’d like a matchup if that’s okay!

Fandom: haikyuu

matchup: impatient, funny, talented, polite

Drabble/detail: 🍊 orange<3

tysm and take as much time as u need<3!

hi hi hi so happy to finally be getting to yours ehehe! 😝

i would match you up with MIYA ATSUMU. i think you share some similarities that would work well - namely a good sense of humour and a focus on achievement & excellence. he can be impatient but also steadfast in seeing things through - so i'd describe him more as fast-paced, which i think you would come to appreciate. now where you're opposites is where it comes to politeness! he's brash and sometimes says the most uncalled-for things - so while you may be at each others' throats at first, i think you would come to bond over shared interests or experiences. in that sense, he could take you out of your comfort zone, and i think that you could help ground him without making him feel restricted. expect a lot of teasing and banter when you're with him - he'd love every second of it with you!

lil' fluffy drabble under the cut for you!

❀ LIKE AUTUMN

how atsumu feels for you is how he feels about autumn

and not in the way that everything dies and it becomes winter

no, instead - what began as a couple leaves floating gently to the ground became a flurrying storm of said leaves in the brightest of colours

in short, he's fallen for you

bad pun, right? well, it's what he says to you on a walk home from class, picking up the biggest, most colourful leaf he could find and presenting it to you

you cackle, taking the leaf and giving him a joking curtsy while he's giggling at how evil your laugh had sounded

the two of you had a bit of an unexpected friendship, but always seemed to be on the same wavelength - even flirting with each other, toeing unspoken boundaries

it was good fun for him at first - but when had it turned into something more?

he shakes the thoughts from his head,

"so? how's the new project you're working on coming along?"

you shrug, "nicely, i guess" - he always thinks that you're being far too modest

"what i wouldn't do to have your sort of talents."

"hey, like you're one to talk with volleyball! it comes from hard work, y'know?"

he smiles, knowing you're like him in some ways - driven in whatever you're passionate about at the time, learning quickly and always looking ahead & envisioning

you don't usually ramble with people, but with him, you're comfortable - he's lost in thought watching words fall from your lips with brightness in your eyes

"hello? earth to atsumu?"

he snaps out of his trance with a huh?

"always so impolite," you huff, "but i wanted to know if you wanted to watch a halloween movie tonight!"

he's surprised - usually he's the one taking initiative in asking you to do something.

"what are we thinkin', then? horror? nostalgia?"

"you pick the genre, i pick the movie?"

he nods in agreement, and in a moment of bravery, takes your hand

you're a bit taken aback, but when you give his hand a squeeze in return, a look of adoration crosses his face that you've never seen before. he grins,

"well, let's not be late to our date then"

ahhhh i had to do something with fall since you gave me author's choice and i'm feeling the vibes right now haha! hope you enjoyed and thanks for your patience! 🍂

Spicy/savoury/sweet: Spicy, I've destroyed my life & cannot enjoy normal flavor ranges. if shit isn't spicy, strong, or bitter (glowing an evil red from the amount of spice, stout beers, black coffee, ect), it's not my favorite. idk, i wish i didnt do this to myself lmao I don't like sweet things very much at all.

Relationship status: Married to Local Kakashi PFP @doktorventure for like a long time now wowee (11 years this month, bananas) He's likes enough sweet shit for the both of us tho, taking one for the team (He is the one on the left, I am the one who refuses to have photos taken of my face :) but the arcade cabinet had our name on it so i caved lmao also this photo is old as fuck ash has his throat tattooed now, it's weird seeing it naked)

Feel free to ask me more things about myself & I'll answer to the best of my ability :3

[keymintt]

I love the first illustration on your latest post with Harry so much. the colours, rendering, brushstrokes are so so good! I wanted to say wow you went off with that one.

Also I wanted to the banal question of which brush did you use if you don't mind sharing of course? It looks a lot like a bristle brush and it looks cool

!!!!! thank you so much!!!! i had a lot of fun with that one ehehe

omg don't sweat it i don't mind you asking at all, i mostly used this one called illumelnati brush

i downloaded it off the csp asset store when i first got the program bc i found it in some brush rec thread. unfortunately the owner/uploader of the brush must have taken it down bc it's not available in the asset store anymore ;-;

idk if you want to try and homebrew something like it, but hopefully the brush settings are at least a bit helpful if you wanna try and make somethin similar on your own! :>

Vision - 2

Writer: Mitsuki

Character(s): Suou Tsukasa, Sakuma Ritsu, Tenshouin Eichi, Shino Hajime

Translated by: jewwyfeesh

Special thanks: my friends for helping me reverse engineer shakespeare TT

Tsukasa: Eh? Are these lucky snacks?

Season: Summer

Location: Garden

Eichi: Hajime-kun, you’ve brought some snacks too? Why, it seems like we really do share a braincell ♪

Ritsu: What the… so am I the only one who came empty-handed? I had intended on bringing some beautiful and delicious handmade sweets too~

Tsukasa: Err… for Ritsu-senpai, I still think it would be better if you didn’t bring anything…

Eichi: I’ve brought some gifts sent by one of STAR PRO’s partners. There is a variety of designs available, and should be sufficient for us to have a pleasant afternoon together. Tsukasa-kun, please help yourself to them.

Tsukasa: Eh? Are these lucky snacks?

Hajime: They are pretty well made. Tsukasa-kun, do you recognise them?

Tsukasa: Narukami-senpai told me about them sometime ago. There’s this long-standing shop that makes them by hand and sells them in limited quantities… I’ve also heard that they are pretty popular amongst teenagers these days.

But the Suou family rarely gift snacks to our partners, and it’s rather improper to queue up for these kinds of small nibbles just to satisfy the appetite… so I don’t really know what kind of snacks these are.

Eichi: According to the supplier, one of these snacks has a special filling in them. Whoever eats the special filling will be lucky for the whole year!

Ritsu: What’s with this ‘if you eat it you’ll be lucky for a whole year’? Where did this… idea of eating food specially prepared for the New Year come from? We’re still in the middle of summertime this fine morning. What, we’re gonna be celebrating the Lunar New Year in the blink of an eye?

Eichi: Haha, these sorts of products really do give people the impression that it’s a little out of this world. However, there would be times where people might instead approve of these.

Even though I think that… seeking luck and fortune from a vague notion is merely a means for the common people to escape from reality, it does make for rather fun entertainment during afternoon tea.

In any case, we have lots of free time today, so I am very interested to know who will eat that snack. Tsukasa-kun, you don’t have any jobs later, right? Would you like to join us?

Tsukasa: Ah… Tenshouin onii-sama, while I would love to agree immediately, please forgive my impropriety this time. Before that, I would like to memorize the script for my next job.

Ritsu: If my memory serves me right, the script that you just memorized would only be needed in maaaybe a month from now. It’s okay if you take it slow.

Tsukasa: What Ritsu-senpai said is the truth, but this was my original plan for today – to memorize this part of the script before the sun sets. It’s against the knight’s code of conduct to backtrack on a decision just because a temptation’s been put infront of them.

Eichi: What steadfast determination. Good luck, Tsukasa-kun! We’ll be cheering for you while enjoying these delectable snacks ♪

Tsukasa: “The night is long that never finds the day”[1]…

Eichi: Mm, as expected of the floral tea brewed by Hajime-kun, the taste is delightful as always.

Hajime: Ehehe, as long as Eichi-onii-chan likes it~ There hasn’t been any change in flavour, has there? I made this tea by drying the flowers I grew over a fire.

Eichi: Nope, it still carries the same comforting fragrance as before. It’s excellent paired with Hajime-kun’s bread.

Tsukasa: …“Truth needs no colour; beauty, no pencil”[2]… (can’t help but pause for a moment)

Ritsu: Mmh, the snacks that Ecchan brings are always so yummy, nomnom. Even though it can’t quite compare to the ones I make.

Hajime: It’s been a while, and I’ve yet to eat the snack with the special filling… Did either of you eat it…?

Ritsu: Nah. Perhaps this ‘luck’ thing isn’t compatible with vampires~

Eichi: Neither have I. It really makes you wonder which snack it’s hiding in. How curious.

Hajime: But if we continue to eat and talk, we will chance upon that lucky snack pretty soon, right?

Ritsu: That’s correct. But who knows if Suu~chan will be able to catch up if we do that~

(Judging from the voice I heard when I was half-awake, Suu~chan’s been working for quite a long time. Surely, it’s time for a break…?)

Tsukasa: ……

(Why does it feel like someone’s been staring at me since just now… and there’s even the fragrance of dessert wafting over…)

Ritsu: Staaaare——

Tsukasa: Ri-Ritsu-senpai! Why are you coming over with a snack in your hand, all the while staring at me unblinkingly?

Ritsu: Do you wanna take a break and have two bites of this snack, Suu~chan?

Tsukasa: ……Th-there’s no need. Please let me finish memorizing this section of my script.

Ritsu: Suu~chan~ Your gaze is drifting~ Really? You don’t want to?

Tsukasa: I will not change my mind. Ritsu-senpai, please enjoy yourself. (Took two steps back to widen the gap)

Ritsu: Okay then~ how cold…

Tsukasa: …“This above all: to thine own self be true”[3]…

Ritsu: Nom nom… ah, what a pity. This one isn’t the lucky snack, either. It’s very yummy but I’ve eaten so many I’m starting to feel sick.

Tsukasa: Ritsu-senpai! What are you doing!!!

You have been tempting me with snacks non-stop! This is really too mean, don’t you think? And I’ve been having such a hard time enduring it too…

But, even so, I will be resolute in my decision! Ritsu-senpai, please give up!

Ritsu: …That determined?

Tsukasa: Please refrain from testing me anymore. A knight’s resolve is unwavering.

Ritsu: Ahaha. In that case, let me help you ♪

Tsukasa: Ritsu-senpai, just what are you trying to do this time?

Ritsu: It’s easy to get a script mixed up when you’re doing it alone, right? With my help, it should go a lot faster.

Why are you looking at me with such a shocked face? I feel wounded.

Tsukasa: But… Ritsu-senpai, are you not in the midst of having afternoon tea?

Ritsu: I didn’t eat a single lucky snack, so I’m feeling rather salty right now. I’ll be using the lines that you’re currently memorizing later, anyways, so why not treat this as advance rehearsals~?

Lemme see. “Is ‘t night’s predominance or the day’s shame?”[4] Hey, this is pretty good, I won’t have to worry that people will come and disturb my sleep.

Tsukasa: Goodness, you’d better not fall asleep on me when we pair lines later on.

[a few moments later]

Eichi: Tsukasa-kun! Welcome back~

Tsukasa: Onii-sama, Hajime-kun, were you waiting for us?

Hajime: We weren’t really waiting for you two; we just sat around chatting and drinking tea… and time passed without us realizing. The tea is sitll warm, let me pour some for you~

Ritsu: Still, the pile of treats remained relatively untouched. Here, Suu~chan.

What great timing. Secchan’s still overseas, so you can stuff yourself silly this time~

Tsukasa: I will not over-indulge myself without restraint… mmh, such exquisite delicacies! The aroma is rich but it’s not particularly sweet, and it really melts on my tongue!

Desserts after work truly are the best!

Hajime: Hold on, Suou-kun, the treat in your hand…

Tsukasa: Hm?

Wait a minute… this…? Could this be the lucky snack with the special filling in it…?

Eichi: Seems like it.

Ritsu: Oh? Suu~chan’s gonna be the luckiest person out of all of us this year. Congrats~ Don’t forget to give us some of your luck too~

Tsukasa: Th-this is really too unexpected. I just grabbed the top most one… not to mention, I joined this tea party purely by chance, so this was originally supposed to have been eaten by one of you…?

Hajime: That’s why Suou-kun is really lucky~

Eichi: That’s right, Tsukasa-kun. Compared to luck brought by snacks, it’s more important to believe that luck belongs to you. So, just accept it ♪

Ritsu: It’s really not like you, Suu~chan, to refuse a good result when it’s laid out clearly for everyone to see.

Tsukasa: Because of luck…

When compared to this lucky snack… I think I’m luckier to be able to have afternoon tea with everyone.

Then, I will accept the luck bestowed upon me by everyone in the Tea Club. I will treasure this piece of luck, and hope that it can bring even more glory to Knights— no, rather… to idols.

Voice-Acting a Yuri Manga in Japanese 🍀

【Manga Title: Sakura no Sekai｜漫画タイトル: 桜の世界】

【Author: Tsuruse｜作者: つるせ】

Elis comments:｜エリスのコメント:

I’ve been reading Sakura no Sekai manga since a few years back and have been liking the vibe and mood that the manga presents. Thus, I hope my VA video manage to convey the cool and mysterious yet badass aura, ehehe

Not just the voice acting, I also have fun editing the images. In fact, it is my first time editing coloured manga images and I guess I’ve made quite a feat though there are still many rooms for improvement.

In addition, there is a latest series called Sakura no Sekai Parfaite (the new title sounds delicious~) whereby the characters are given new designs and each panel looks like movie quality o.o

The new designs made me ponder whether should I change my voice for Sakura and Ruka in the video. But in the end I’ve decided to go with the voice that I had felt few years ago when I first read the manga because the chapter I have selected to voice-act is also from Tsuruse’s work few years ago, fufu

Sakura no Sekai & Sakura no Sekai Parfaite are like two different parallel worlds to me.

Once again, thank you for listening!

数年前から『桜の世界』を読んでその世界観や雰囲気が好きになりました。そんなかっこよさ&ミステリアス感が今回のビデオで伝えたらすごく嬉しいですっ

ボイスアクティングだけではなく動画の編集も楽しかったです。

初めてカラー付きの漫画を編集してやっぱりたいへんでしたがやって良かったと思います！

作者さんから新しいシリーズの『桜の世界Parfaite』(美味しそうなタイトルですね）ではキャラクター達に新デザインがあってとてもフレッシュと思いますっコマも映画クオリティーで読むの楽しいです。

実は新キャラデザインを観て自分のビデオのキャラボイスもちょっと変えようかなぁって思いました。でも数年前に初めて『桜の世界』を読むそのキャラ達の存在感や感覚を思い出してやっぱり声を変えないと決まりましたっ

『桜の世界』&『桜の世界Parfaite』は別々の世界線に了承したいと思います、えへへ

ご視聴ありがとうございましたー
