Howdy! Could we have Kid with a toy maker s/o? You can do with it what you may. I just kind of think it would be an interesting match. Also love you Work, good job!!

Heyya!🍞 This was a really fun one to write! My apologies for the very long wait and hope you enjoy~ 🍀

Headcanons: Kid x Toy Maker! S/O

(Gender Neutral) 

Eustass Kid

🛠 Kid loves seeing their little contraptions, little robots, dinosaurs, teddy bears, ragdolls, and many more creations that they effortlessly create with perfection. He is actually in awe at how finely, quickly and accurately they work. Whether it is with wood carving, working with mechanical pieces or even the sewing skills needed for plush toys or dolls clothes. There was a vast variety of toys which Kid never even knew existed and he thought nothing of toys until he witnessed the craftsmanship first hand. 

🛠 When {Name} and Kid got a little more involved with one another, the decision to naturally travel with Kid’s crew became a reality. Kid even sweetened the deal when he agreed to allow {Name} to share his private workshop. Truthfully Kid could sit for hours and just watch {Name} work with how deftly they worked. Everything was interesting, one of the more therapeutic things he watched was when {Name} painted dolls or details. 

🛠 {Name} found it cute how Kid would watch them and admire their work. Even though {Name} was a little closer to a merchant than a pirate as they would create all these toys and sell them to the various toy stores along the grandline. They even made a very famous name for themselves, an alias of course but nevertheless. It was how every unique piece was stamped, signed or carved. They had felt motivated to create something unique for Kid. They settled on a very intricate doll, inspired from the punk movement in style with some cyborg-esque qualities, including a mechanical arm that resembled Kid’s. When you pulled the string on the back it gave something of a war cry before aggressively strumming at the guitar in hand. Kid was definitely impressed and touched, knowing just how much effort {Name} put into every aspect of making the doll, from the design to the sewing of clothes, the painting, the mechanical work for it to move or finely carving the wood to make it look as realistic as it did. 

🛠 One of the more exciting things was allowing Kid to see their main workshop, back on their home island. {Name} was visibly nervous, more so than Kid had ever seen them. “What’s got ya so damn nervous?” Kid stated. “Well, it’s just so…personal. I’ve never let anyone see my workshop.” {Name} admitted. They cracked open the door and gestured for Kid to walk in. They pulled a large lever down from the adjacent wall and in sequential order, a large amount of lights began to light up the large workshop. Kid was in awe at how messy their design table was. Tons of pencil shavings, eraser crumbs, crumpled up paper balls, dishes and empty snack containers. The reason why it was so shocking, Kid compared its state to the rest of the workshop that was immaculately kept and clean. Every tool and brush had its own place and there was not even a speck of debris. Kid definitely could take a few notes from {Name} on how to organize and keep an immaculate workshop. Thinking back, when he began sharing a workshop with {Name} he never once complained about mess, or clutter. Unlike his side that was so disorganized he could practically lose himself. 

🛠 While his partner was almost perfect in every craft they learned with tons of practice, they never hesitated to learn or refine their skills further. Whenever Kid offered up a few of his own tips about working with metal, its components and temperament they were sure to take note of every word and try it out for themselves. Kid enjoyed being able to converse about something he is truly passionate about and have them listen so intently and even challenge some things. If they found something to be a little difficult they would easily ask for his help and Kid enjoyed being able to show off his skills a little. Those genuine and overly analytic comments that {Name} gave really stroked his ego. 

🛠 Kid decided to try and reciprocate by making something for {Name} as well. He worked on small pieces, but toys were something out of his expertise. He tried to make something cute, it ended up looking like a janky clump of metal pieces that awkwardly sat together to make some kind of silhouette. Going into this project he truly thought it was going to be like any other project, he thought he would get the hang of it as he went along. He had a newfound appreciation for {Name’s} craft. He kept trying until it eventually resembled, at some angle, in some way, maybe if one squinted a little it could look like a cat. Kid honestly was just going to toss it in the trash, but he didn't know {Name} had been watching him and how hard he worked, even when it ended up with him being even more frustrated. {Name} refused to let Kid throw it away, “It’s for me isn’t it?” {Name} treasured it, “It’s such a cute mantaray!” They said happily, “It’s a cat…” Kid mumbled. 

🛠 {Name} had been holed up in the workshop for days on end, without seeing a single ray of sunshine nor coming out to eat or drink water. Kid wasn’t even sure if {Name} slept, when he stepped into the workshop he saw a shrimp-like figure hunched over the desk. Mumbling words so fast it may have sounded like a summoning ritual as strange symbols and illustrations were scribbled over the various pages before a hail storm of paper balls were tossed everywhere. Now, well this may have sounded like some strange start of a horror story, it was actually pretty normal for {Name}. This was merely their design process. Even Kid grew accustomed to seeing his sleep deprived blanket clad shrimp-postured partner in the dark workshop with only a single lamp to light up their table while they scrawled various designs for new toys or improvements for creations they had already made. Well sooner or later, the shrimp will evolve into a slug when {Name} slides out the workshop looking for food. 

🛠 {Name} sometimes gets a bit down if they fail at their designs, they get highs and lows of creating things. Sometimes they succeed so perfectly, other times they fail and they struggle to find motivation to give it a second try. Kid often will let them wallow about it by just encouraging them to give it a break and return with a fresh mind when they feel they have the capacity. Sometimes Kid can directly help by giving suggestions on how to change the design, sometimes his insight gives a new perspective that gives [Name} the answer they needed.

Day 3922 - Went out bird banding. Today's highlight was getting to process a red-breasted nuthatch! I squeeeeeed a bit.

[sailoryooons]

Ahhhhhh! Just saw your message!!! Thank you! Don’t worry about responding to them all! Promise! Thank you for constantly responding though!!! I just enjoy your writings a lot and wanted to let you knooooow!

I may or may not have squeeeeeed seeing it. (I did. I squeed where my niece and my daughter looked at me wondering what happened XD)

Oh my gosh plsssss that is very cute! They were so sweet and funny okay pls never change!

[synchronmurmurs]

Helloooo~ Idk if this has been asked but Majima or Kiryu?

SQUEEEEEED HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! 👋👋

And as much as I love Kiryu for the wholesome and supportive lad he is, my entire heart belongs to Majima (and Saejima). I know that when folk are first getting into Yakuza/RGG, they only really see Majima as the Funny Meme Man, and given that’s how he’s so often portrayed in art and video clips, that’s totally fair!!!!! But he is SO MUCH MORE than just a goblin who screeches “KIRYU-CHAN” every 2 minutes, and it’s all of THAT that I love about him.

He’s funny, lives life with an energy I can only hope I have at his age, and is generally very I Do Whatever I Want, but he’s also tenacious, tough as fuck, and loyal to a fault. I cannot tell you how much I adore the relationship he has with Saejima, and even Kiryu as well. The respect he has for those two lads is immeasurable. Because like– he fought, tooth and claw, up the ladder of the Tojo Clan, became the patriarch of his OWN CLAN, amassed a ton of power and influence…. all so he could hand it over to Saejima as penance for abandoning him 25 years prior. He carved a seat for himself in the Tojo, not for himself, but for his BEST BRO. Not to mention he was ready to fight Saejima to the death to protect Haruka, and by extension, Kiryu????

She means more to Kiryu-chan than life itself. I couldn’t just let it happen.

WEHHHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭

And Majima also has the best looking tattoo in the game, no I do not accept criticism

Sarah Beware....

This is for @superwholockinibbal who sent an ask for my 100+followers sketchy sketchy celebration.  I’m posting these in the order they were received.  

Prompt ?  (i lost my list of prompts but…) a request for Jareth and I SQUEEEEEED so much at it!  Labyrinth is my all time favorite movie. EVER. Mom had to hide the tape when I was a kid.  I still watch it at least once a week. The only movie I have more than one copy of (you know no frills dvd, dvd with bonus stuff, special edition with more bonus stuff ~drool~). You get my point!  I really need to draw more Labyrinth!

My go-to-proxy person does regular Toranoana group orders. She just asked me if there was anything I wanted then I spotted these 2 preorders and squeeeeeed (internally)!!!

RyuSou anthology!! RyuSou anthology!! RyuSou anthology of all of Eiko’s previous RyuSou doujinshi!!! Need! Want! Gimme!! Eiko is one of the few artists who does RyuSou doujinshi.

And new MikaIchi doujinshi by Sio!!! Sio is one of the few artists who does MikaIchi doujinshi. Though this particular one seems to be both MikaIchi and IchiMika from the description. It’s a love triangle with 2 flavours of Ichigo~♡

Links: the RyuSou one and the MikaIchi/IchiMika one
