Actually, the best part of being a "chosen one" is you don't have to send in a resume and write a coverletter. A magical scroll or mysterious stranger or flock of ravens just show up and give it to you.
So I wanted to take a jab at drawing Magical Tennis Girl Naomi BOWsaka (based on this outfit) and was initially just going to do a quick sketch but uh... I might've locked in and got a bit carried away 😅.
That said, this might honestly be one of my personal favorite art pieces I've made this year, and I'm all the happier it's a Bow Kid oriented piece since I haven't done a proper drawing of her in ages.
(also shoutouts to @hoshungen and their Tennis Bow Kid drawing since they beat me to the punch and it deserves praise as well 😁).
Today's Anti-Kawaii Character of The Day is Momoka Sakurai, better known as Menhera Pink or Menhera-Chan! She is a character famously associated with Yumekawaii and Yamikawaii Menhera visuals! She also fits the Utsudere and Kuudere archetypes (if you read the manga)! She also parodies the Magical Girl Genre!
Y'know what would be an interesting concept for lolirock?
What if Iris is a little afraid of her shanila form's powers, because she only remembers some of what she does during it? Like she blacks out and goes super saiyan that first time around.
I want iris to not remember cutting that mountain in half, and when Talia or auriana mentions it, she's kinda scared of what her powers can do if she doesn't remember all of what she did.
I want the only thing she remembers about the end of the battle with iziras medallion is saying "I'm sorry everyone. I'm so sorry I didn't blast those 2 into oblivion a long time ago!" And summoning the medallion from the atmosphere to reverse time. And then she's standing in Nathaniel's shop with the thing in her hands.
In both instances, Iris fully doesn't know whether or not she killed mephisto and praxina until she sees them again and she thinks "man I have never been more happy to see those two be an annoyance".
Iris remembers basically all of the fight against gramorr. She saw praxina sobbing over mephisto by the hole in the ground, she knows she wouldn't kill mephisto intentionally, but what if she did and didn't remember it? Yes she didn't kill him or praxina any other time she was in her shanila form and her fury was directed at them, but regardless Mephisto is still dead.
