As someone who has created a freshly adored shipping content as of late (thank you, btw), why do you think so many people love seeing domestic affection in fanart like this? Why do you think Hanamusa gained the traction that it did? Ik I’m basically asking “why do people ship,” but I thought you’d have an interesting perspective as a prolific artist in the genre atm!

im not sure! i think it's just such a tried and true dynamic for starters. a sweet small/angry tall, opposites attract situation. both characters also have like,,, "the right amount of baggage" for one to help the other out with in sweet ways. jessie growing up a poor, orphan with no one to keep her in check and delia being lonely and having all the people in her life leave her for one reason or another.

it's great that they're both incredibly strong women in their own right but make up for each other's weaknesses. jessie has more growing to do between the two of them (obviously) but delia can also learn a thing or two, namely allowing herself to fall in love again without fearing abandonment.

i think domestic fanfics/aus in general are also fun in particular when the source material isn't that. it allows us to see characters in a light that we normally wouldn't and makes it a little more "relatable"

the fun part about hanamusa for me was also the prospect of jessie being ash's stepmom LOL

I'm not sure it's ok to ask these questions because they are not directly related to Hanamusa, so I apologise if it's too random, please feel free to ignore it, but as someone who absolutely fell hard with Andeshipping mainly thanks to your amazing art and headcanons, I wonder in regards to possibility of Miyamoto being alive and reuniting with Jessie, what is the status of Andeshipping in Hanamusa AU? Is Madame Boss dead or just retired? What is the lore of Miyamoto's return - why did it took her so long to come back from her mission? Where was she all that time? Did Madame Boss knew of Miyamoto's whereabouts at all? Did she blame herself for sending Miyamoto to such dangerous mission?

Always okay! I take any asks always~

Since Madame Boss and Miyamoto's story is so far in the past, it's usually consistent in all my AUs! Madame Boss is not alive, as implied in The Birth of Mewtwo, by the time the first movie happens.

The Birth of Mewtwo also implies that Miyamoto is alive and STILL searching for Mew well into Jessie's adulthood. Miyamoto throughout the drama uses Jessie's age to keep track of time and in Japanese, she uses a very specific term that leads me to believe Jessie is around 25. I think it's the last check in with her, so she truly was just running around the mountains for 20 years until present day. In my head, she FINALLY finds Mew again but finds her attempts to catch Mew are futile and comes to the brutal conclusion that she'll never catch Mew and has left her daughter for YEARS for no reason. So she spends all her time searching for Jessie again.

Miyamoto was MIA for so long that I think Madame Boss just assumed she'd died. After Giovanni took over, I imagine his team went out and found the tapes and recordings that Miyamoto had left, but Madame Boss never got to hear them or see them.

And this deviates from the drama a bit but I hc that Giovanni told the story a little differently or didn't know the whole truth. We never hear Madame Boss tell Miyamoto to go find Mew, Miyamoto puts it upon herself to do so. I imagine, Madame Boss tries to get her to stay

No bc why is Hanamusa so yummy? Like if I could take your art and this ship and make it into a food I would eat it like there is no tomorrow. Also I love how Ash is just SO against it in the beginning It's SOOOO funny. I honestly need to see more of that because I can't get enough of it. Just this whole AU is so well thought out and so amazingly drawn. I love it so much. They're dynamic just fits so perfectly and I can't get enough of it. And the little fun fact about the comics being related to real experiences with your GF is sooo cute!! You guys are pretty much Hanamusa it's self and I'm so for it!! You truly have done such an amazing job with this AU and everything about it that I am just in awe at how wonderful you made this to be. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you so much!! 💞💞💞

I really appreciate and I have a lot of fun doing these lil comics~
