Create ; Release - A Sleep Token illustration project

I've talked a bit about this art project before, but now that I'm close to finish painting the 1st round, I can finally make a Serious Master Post about it (to make it easier to find and because I need to have everything neatly organised or else I die).

Create ; Release is a series of painted illustrations for each Sleep Token album, where each song will have its own individual painting based on my favourite lyrics, tied together by a colour palette. They won't necessarily relate to the ST lore, even though there will be some elements included. I'm going for a bit more abstract/conceptual approach, so to speak.

I'm starting with This Place because 1) it's been on my mind a lot recently; 2) for some reason the colour blue has been incredibly inspiring for me (Darya's Blue Period era); 3) I just felt like it 💙

The original plan is to make the 3 albums, but I might expand to include the EPs and 2 singles. This project has been a lot a bit taxing and time-consuming, but incredibly fun and satisfying to make!

[Because I know myself, I'll hold off posting the final illustrations until I've had the whole album scanned and ready. That way, I'll make sure to actually finish it, and you won't wait ages between songs (there will be however a few weeks of waiting time between albums, to allow myself time to have them all pretty and ready!) I will be sharing a few sneak-peeks and what-not with you while creating them 😘]

Extremely late to the party, but look! Holmwood Foundation fanart!

In case you missed all the spam, this is about a cool little horror podcast project that's on its final couple days in which to raise funds for a full series, courtesy of @theholmwoodfoundation. They have episode 1 out as a teaser and it's extremely worth the listen if you're a Dracula fan who would like some media from people who actually read, understood, and enjoyed the book.

Their Kickstarter is here and they could really use a push in donations and general hype! It's got vampires and ghosts and supernatural archives and queer main characters and coerced camping trips on the moors, give or take some uninvited ghouls. Give them a listen and a hand if you can!

i was hoping to make a post like this under happier circumstances, but here goes.

as some of you know, everything with the cancellation and renewal campaign has happened right on top of the worst part of my mom's cancer treatment (plus the show was cancelled on my actual birthday 💀). i won't go into details, but it's been tough. lots of ups and downs, mostly downs, luckily ending (for now) on as much of an up as circumstances allow. the whole thing has been weirdly tied to the cancellation for me, kind of amplifying every feeling. the grief got mixed up, and there was so much of it - mourning the loss of the kind of future i thought i'd have with my mother and the time we might not get, mourning the end of a show that means so much to me and is such a big part of my life. different types of grief, sure, and of different magnitudes, but in one big ugly swirl. i sort of had a breakdown right at the start of february, and it was because of news about my mom, but it morphed into my brain telling me everything i'd ever written was shit and wanting to delete it all. stuff like that, spilling over.

anyway. i was holding off on writing this post to see if the show got picked up by someone else. but i still want to say it. because what also spilled over was the support and community from this fandom, and being in this space (despite the rough times and high emotions) helped me through it, because of all of you here. whether we talk regularly, or you left a comforting reply or simply a like on one of my posts about having a hard time (i tried to keep them few), or wrote a nice comment on a fic, or said something funny or nice or insightful in the tags of a gifset, or was active here (or on twt) in any way, talking/sharing/creating stuff about the show - THANK YOU.

you all helped me through all the ups and downs, and i am so grateful. thank you for being here, listening, distracting, helping me feel some joy despite the horrors. i love you and i love this incredible show and all it has brought and will continue to bring and inspire, and although it should go without saying, i'm not going anywhere. just do me a favor and give yourself a big ol' hug from me, and know that you made a difference for some random guy on the internet (but in reality for many more, and for this fandom as a whole, just by being here and being you) 💕

just submitted my last essay!!!!!

Wow, so now we have four poster visuals of the movie (aside from the collaboration version with mission impossible of course), and I can't wait to watch this movie in the cinema someday...

By the way, there was a talk event which was held by the local publisher of the manga several days ago, which they streamed live on the local publisher's IG account. The event was held at the pop up cafe in a famous shopping mall in Jakarta, and when they talked about this movie, one of them (the pop up cafe's staff) pointed out that it would be released in March (in my country). I don't know if this is valid or not, but that person said it confidently, so it's probably true. Not to mention that there's no new information about the movie's release date for now...

Well, let's see if that statement is true, or probably they'll release the movie before March (I still hope that I can watch it on my birthday though... which is in January and not March). I've heard from somewhere else that the movie would be released in Singapore in February, so probably it will be soon after that.

hello! its tashiro anon with another random idea, this time valentine flavoured since its everywhere and i cant escape

i think tashiro would try to make handmade goods for his friends,, maybe not immediately but like after seeing somewhere just how happy it can make someone to receive handmade sweets he would go 'oh i gotta try that' and what better day is it to give them then the chocolate day?

it definitely would take multiple tries to get it good but i can see him presenting them proudly to them. the shape is not perfect and neither is his packaging but his smile alone would be enough to make ones heart feel full i think,,, kuresawa would probably immediately send it to his gf with the caption 'someones trying to give me valentine chocolates'

he would make some to hanzawa too,, although if he would actually manage to give them is debatable, i think it could create a cute scenario

thats all have a great day!

TASHIRO ANON!!! HI!!! I do always love to be brain blasted into the wall

I’m writing this as thoughts develop Went and opened up the second years novel because there’s a chapter about white day. tashiro anon did you know this chapter is crazy There’s some really crazy stuff in here. kuresawa’s always got insanely Something things to say about his friends IIII’m suddenly dizzy okay anyway. kuresawa’s crazy ANYWAY

really really fun thing about tashiro is that he can kind of. do anything he puts his mind to. he sees what kind of expression someone can make when receiving chocolates and goes Oh I can do that. I need to do that. and he does. looks up a recipe at home jots it down and makes a day of going to the grocery store. browses aisles with his hands at the back of his neck. realizes he needs like, a basket at least. helps one of the bathhouse ladies with her stuff when they cross paths. laughs raucously when she jokes a little crassly about how busy her valentine’s day is gonna be.

gets home three hours later with a few bags worth of stuff and things. headband keeping stray hair out of his eyes. squinting at his handwriting. chocolate! some a little lumpy others bigger than he meant them to be. takes a nibble and they taste fine. it’s not like he’s someone’s girlfriend doing this, anyway. a few lumps aren’t gonna kill anyone. except the lump in his throat, maybe, What kind of thought was that even? ha ha ha I have fun

brings them in the next day though, yeah, and kuresawa texts his girlfriend and she replies Reject them. and tashiro’s protests can be heard from the rooftop. miyano almost starts to argue before he looks at tashiro’s face, the barest trace of maidenly anticipation. and he takes them staring at the floor and his ears warm. Fine, he thinks. and he says thank you, and tashiro whoops.

shirahama gets his thrown at him, second he comes through the door. catches them last minute. starts sniffling with damp eyes.

and you’re so right tashiro anon…. some dedicated to hanzawa senpai. when’s he supposed to even give them to him? is the sort of question on his mind. he’s passing the packaging between his two hands, back and forth, on his way out of school. down the street. after practice, so the crisp not-yet-spring air is biting at him a little. downhill to the bathhouse.

serendipitous, hanzawa senpai standing in the middle of the street. it isn’t a steep decline but it feels like one.

Tashiro-kun, hanzawa senpai calls up at him. he looks small from up here but his voice is the same as ever—just a little surprised.

tashiro, eyes wide and earnest, holding his full hand up, calls back down, Chocolate!

Start the new year off with a bang! 😉

Bottom Tetsu Weekend 🍑⚾ is coming in January 2025!

Details and more info under the Read More. ⬇️

🍑 WHAT ⚾

Bottom Tetsu Weekend is an event to create and promote fanworks featuring Yuuki Tetsuya (of Daiya no Ace) in a bottom role.

🍑 WHERE ⚾

Bluesky and Tumblr

🍑 WHEN ⚾

January 18, 19, and 20, 2025

🍑 WHY ⚾

Diversity is good for the fandom biome.

To be a bit more serious, Tetsu is a reliable and dedicated character, who occasionally seems overburdened by expectations and leadership. I think he deserves a treat.

And given the hectic state of the world, I think we all deserve a treat.

🍑 HOW ⚾

Please feel free to post new fanworks (of any type, including sharing headcanons) during the event with the #BottomTetsuWeekend tag! Promotion of existing fanworks is also welcome!

There won’t be a separate account for the event. I will reshare properly tagged works here from this account.

🍑 ADDITIONAL INFO ⚾

This is an 18+ event. Please respect everyone involved and do not participate if you are under 18.

This is an inclusive event. All interpretations of Tetsu are welcome, including all genders and sexualities. All ships are welcome, including polyships and crossover ships. All themes, tropes, and kinks are welcome as long as they are tagged visibly and appropriately. Harassment of any participants or fanworks will not be tolerated.

SFW fanworks that do not contain any explicit material are welcome. There is no requirement to create something containing explicit material. As an example, a foreplay or aftercare scene referencing Bottom Tetsu would be welcome. As long as Tetsu is not in a top role within the fanwork, it is welcome for this event.

Posting for this event will not “close.” Please feel free to share fanworks with the #BottomTetsuWeekend tag for days, weeks, or months after the event. There are no deadlines!

All prompts are optional.

Inspired by @/BottomUshiWknd on twitter.

The event is only two months away and I apologize for the late notice. If the event returns in the future, I will prepare a more advanced notice.

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask!

If you’ve made it this far, thank you so much for your interest! This event in very indulgent but I also hope it’s fun.

🍑 ⚾

Will you be selling the stickers as a separate thing later or are they only a bonus for the keychains?

ye! stickers will get sold on their own as well. my plan is both for sticker sheet (themed per series? im still thinkin' abt it) and also individual options with bundle discounts.

[just-two-blokes]

You know what?

It feels good to actually present yourself the way that feels most like yourself.

I learned this in the past weeks.

You should try it as well.

I'm sure you're gonna look amazing.
