#i'll think abt it after i wrap up all my comms

[hinamie]

It is once again time to block all the leaks/spoilers tags and laugh as I can only see like everything second or third thing on your blog (I do genuinely just find it funny, I’ll go back and check everything after the official release)

But in the meantime I have a few random questions

1) is there any character designs that you would change and why? (Yuji’s scars don’t count I know you are attached to him keeping his scars)

2) is there any plot point that you would get rid of or do major changes to in the manga?

3) if you could magic force a character back to life who would it be?

LMAO honestly a lot of the things i tag as spoilers/leaks aren't even from the most recent chapter i'm just tagging most manga-related things at this point just to be safe even if weeks have passed :'> onto ur questions tho !

1. character designs i would change

as far as the characters i draw regularly, fr the most part i am happy with their designs and the differences between my interpretations vs canon more or less boil down to style differences. the way i draw the characters is the way they exist in my head. i draw them how /i/ want them to look. that being said i'm pretty sure i've mentioned before tht i would give yuuji and megumi a few inches to their hair/bangs shjdgfdsj i'm generally not a fan of the short spiky look i don't think it gives much to play with shape-wise. megumi is a bit better than yuuji but i still wld like his hair to be a bit more deliberately styled. *gestures 2 my megumi portfolio* comme ça

as for characters i don't draw as regularly that's where i have a few more gripes with some designs. nanami for example oh my god i'd make nanami's hair a sandier blond and not the awful yellow-green it is in the anime . clashes TERRIBLY with his shirt. i'll be so real i couldn't even get emotional abt his last stand/beach scene bc i was like God These Colours Hurt,,,, change his tie also while i'm at it.

i might get flack fr this but i do not like geto's/kenjaku's design. i think geto only looked good with his hair fully up, the minute he changed into the robes i was out. ik it's the point but imo it drowns him it makes the silhouette so bulky and busy and uninteresting. i dont have an alternative lmao i'm just a hater

2. plot points/manga arcs i would change

once the manga wraps up i promise i will dedicate a few days to reading it from start to finish and then maybe i will have an answer to this smile :)

3. character i'd bring back to life

shorter wong banana fish :(

/j i know u meant from jjk uhhhhh probably nanami or maybe choso

hey could you tell us more about that hollystar au of yours

HEY!!! First off I’d like to apologize for how long it took me to get to this- I usually like to do doodles for asks and my priorities have kind of been all over the place re: personal and business affairs. I found some free time in-between comms to whip some stuff up though so Here We Are.

Anyway- Hollystar AU! Big, big difference off the bat is Hollyleaf Doesn’t Die, and she gets made deputy at the end of OoTS saga (as opposed to squilf; I’d like to imagine there were still sm problems between squilf and bramble; even if they ended up having alder/spark in the following saga). Also there’s some Dark Forest BS tossed in there somewhere. Also also Lesbian Hollystar. We Love To See It Happy Pride-

Long Post so click read more 2 check out the rest of my BS

Relationship-wise: Hollyleaf is closer to Bramblestar than any of her other parental figures. The have uh. Shared Awkwardness re: dealing w/ squilf, and it’s probably one of the reasons she’s deputized by him (Nepotism At It’s Finest; all joking aside though I could see them being close re: shared ambitions/having to prove themselves to clanmates amidst troubling rumors of their character). This Is Set To Change Going Into TBC where Holly’s secret re: ashfur is revealed by the imposter :^)))

Crowfeather makes her uncomfortable b/c like... she’s Not Entirely Over The Whole... Half Clan Parents Thing As She Insists. They’re cordial in public events at gatherings though; but she doesn’t like to situate herself around her bio dad or her half-brother because of how much it reminds her of her origins.

Breezepelt... she fuckin hates him and vice versa. Not as much as Breeze’s sheer antagonism to Lionblaze but they both HATE how much they look like Crow, and by extension, to Each Other. No Holds Barred Tear Into Each Other @ Dark Forest Thunderdome Hours

Squilf/Leaf.... Hollyleaf has uhm. Mommy Issues LMAO she does NOT want to be around them at ALL when she comes back frm the tunnels. Hates visiting the medicine den unless it’s only Jayfeather there, and avoids being left alone with either of her moms. Her relationship w/ Leafpool improves on her “deathbed” after being dealt a heavy blow from Hawkfrost. While Holly originally attempts to make amends with her bio mom as a result of assuming she’s dying, I’d like to think during the time she spends recovering in the medicine den she and Leafpool have good time to Talk About Things. Squilf is another story altogether lol I’d imagine the lingering awkwardness continues into AVoS especially w/ the arrival of Alder/Spark. They hash things out somewhere in TBC.

She has a good relationship with her siblings!! After getting thru a LOT of her own Issues And Simmering Jealousy abt not being a prophecy cat, I’d imagine. She’s not as vocal about it, but it’s clear she cares about her brothers.

Close to Ivypool- shared experiences and whatnot! Ivy really looks up to Holly as a mentor figure, in helping her thru the dark forest and having sm1 to empathize with about Magic Siblings. IMO when Hollystar becomes leader I could see her making Ivypool her deputy b/c she’d enable Holly’s dubious decisions.

Hawkfrost manipulates the shit out of hollyleaf lmao. A lot of playing on that Inferior Sibling Complex, and the promise to Make Her Better Than Her Peers. It’s the usual bs Hawk/Tiger spews.

HOLLYCINDER RIGHTS. This could either go 2 ways- depending on how much u guys want me 2 pull a YA Series Love Triangle like the previous books. In this AU holly and cinder were close pre-tunnels, in a kind of will they/wont they kind of thing. This is where things diverge. Option A being post-tunnels cinder is ofc HURT holly would do that and they have 2 rebuild their relationship again frm the ground up. Option B being cinder goes thru the 5 stages of grief for holly and eventually moves on With Lionblaze, only to find out Hollyleaf Actually Isnt Dead Oops and then struggles with her not-so-faded feelings for Holly versus her new commitment to Lion. Hollyleaf, not knowing Cinderheart has attempted 2 move on from their Undefined Something, is a Little Pissed To Find Out Her Not-Ex Is Now Kind Of Dating Her Brother, and Respectfully Pines From Afar. There’s A Lot Of Accidental Yearning. Cinder realizes she wants to be with Hollyleaf after the latter nearly dies frm Hawkfrost’s attack, she and lionblaze part ways, and cinder and holly bond and get together sometime inbetween Injury Therapee Hours.
