WOW this has been ROUGH in the Life Events category of things, but. slowly crawling out of that. hopefully
this was the opening scene for a something I started writing after watching the Manben inverview with Nishi Keiko and thinking back to all the classic shoujo manga I stayed up reading back in the day, like damn that's so true Urasawa Naoki
it's partially a love letter to all the greats of the genre that I read, and also to the late night teleseryses that captivated me over the years lmao. it'd be nice to find the time to tackle it properly as a comic, but I'm having fun working on it recreationally :)
✨but since it's recreational, some character info✨
the first character seen is lawrence 'law' valenciano (late 30s), the one with the glasses is cris volante (mid-later 20s). law works at a karinderya, cris is an extremely broke university student.
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta / tip jar!
#komiks tag#original tag#there's a bit about how shoujo manga pays a lot of attention to hair and ngl its SO true and such a huge influence on my own art#did not realize it until then but when it came to things like hair i did turn more frequently to CLAMP and etc over any big name shonen#artist. and ofc. im a lifelong CLAMP fan. it was just interesting to listen to in discussion! genres are a language and each conveys#what they need to. ofc you get things like genre convention defying things like x1999 which just kind of. melt your brain a bit#ANYWAY i actually started re reading marmalade boy after this interview which was. idk why that one came to mind first#but you can probably guess where that impacted this story idea lmaoo. i am trying to track down a bunch of gender blender josei#manga i read in highschool. god. remember paradise kiss. damn those visuals were killer

reblog this and put in the tags your favorite (or most memorable) mandatory reading from school
#I was very much that kid who enjoyed the mandatory readings when 80% of the class Did Not#however I might have just really enjoyed the group discussion/debate that followed the readings#anyways!#there's this one book I read in middle school that I think was actually non fiction?#and was about this guy in Alaska and his sled dogs#wish I could remember the name or more plot events because I can not find the book today for the life of me#I also liked this short story we read in a class in Highschool that was about#this self cleaning/functioning house going through its routine functions even though the family is long dead#(I think this was taking place post nuclear fallout/war or something)

Your Tim gives big “peaked in high-school” energy, but I doubt he peaked in high-school, so maybe he peaked at being Robin, thus creating new trauma in the family, and maybe hero community
Oh Tim 100% is the peaked in high-school guy like dude was having a ball he was super popular constantly had girls falling over themselves for him and he was Robin- the fact that Tim is so reluctant to let robin go is literally the biggest tell of all that this boy is trying desperately to hang on to how things used to be
#ask#anon#sorry this is less about my au and just tim in general#but god that boy#and the way this boy is the audience self insert boy#and dc was like#we're making tim robin again bc thats what the audience wants#bc life was so good when tim was robin#and robin tim fans were like fuck yeah#not realising this was the worst thing that could happen to tim#bc your not getting that good story telling back#things have changed and tim has not changed with the times so its not gonna work#it was never gonna work#peaked in highschool thats the best way you can describe tim drake

chapter 1 of reassassination's nearly done script-wise! hopefully the next chapters won't take like 6 months of on-and-off work to complete lol
#but i have GOOD REASON as to why it took so long#1. i had no clue how exactly to write the characters and they literally swapped characterisation with every scene#luckily now i've solidified krankenstein as a paranoid control freak#and octavia as a superficially cool girl with a sailor's mouth and zero social awareness#honestly its so hard to explain her chara. basically: character who seems stoic and cool and mysterious but is actually just super autistic#2. i had NO CLUE how and when to expose information#now chapter 1 only gives a superficial look at krank and octavia's characters and the most basic info about postmortem#and the “rules” of octavia (perfect pendant etc)#and 3. i was writing it like a standalone for a while#i had to put a lot of changes into the script in order to turn the chapter into the foundation for a few opening “mini-arcs”#of which will give a lot of characterisation and purpose into postmortem highschool characters#like onion and jaundice#rather than being kind of disconnected like before#anyway now that im nearly done all i need to do is FINALFINALFINALise the designs#(which will probably have a shit ton more changes to make em actually drawable over and over again)#and design environments and props (like krankenstein medical clinic and postmortem as a whole)#even so i only want to start releasing the comic when at least a quarter of the scripts are done and the story is 100% finalised#i have a lot of freedom being out of school right now so i want to write as much as possible#so i guess it will release around late 2025 or mid 2026 in the best case scenario assuming something insane doesnt happen to me

Sometimes I like to day dream about my femme in different outfits... a cute mauve cropped halter here, a little flowy tied skirt there, a great big sunhat with a little bow on it. Perfect for a sunny day at the beach 🥰
#its like those dressup flash games from when i was a kid#when im out shopping and see all that feminine clothing i think is pretty/cute but cant stand wearing? i just get to dress up my femme#i wanted to design clothes back when i was highschool and got called a fruit for it#that reminds me of a story back before i transitioned. i would turn into a stereotype of a queer “man” and my ex's cousin was so confused#“you sure that boy isnt gay?” “nah that boy isnt gay that *girl* is gay”#any other butches/mascs like playing dressup with their femme?#bite me#oh vampling... 💕#butch#butch/femme culture#butch/femme#butchfemme#lesbian#sapphic

when i was a child and first moved to america everyone treated me like dogshit for being weird and not knowing anything and my autistic ass thought it just meant that everyone in america was rude as a cultural thing so i was really mean to everyone thinking that I was being normal which led to more people being mean to me and i dont think i realized that wasnt normal until i was in like highschool
#i moved here when i was around 8 (10 yrs ago) for context. STILL mentally unpacking some cultural stuff but i think im mostly there#anyways thats ppp courtney coded which makes sense since its my fucking story so its probably me projecting to a certain degree#a really really REALLY unok amount of ppp is just straight up unabridged stories from highschool. the other part is stolen from lpspop#ps talks

im so considerate.... (<- guy not ranting about a thing it hates before its friend is done with the media)
#can officially say i finished the arkhamverse. didnt watch anything about that suicide squad one but i read all comics#a d watched the complete story & side mission gameplay for origins asylum city and midway through my refresher for knight#the biggest takeaway i have is wow these people are weird about convicts and addicts and love their toxic masculinity#but the gameplay and nostalgia impacts peoples opinions on it. maybe an enjoyable experience but for the story or universe itself#its a complete failure in every regard i can think of—only having glimpses moments of quality that makes the rest of it#be frustrating because the potential can be there. theres interesting premises occasionally but the execution and payoff doesn't make it#even worthwhile to get to those premises because of what you must wade through to reach them#<- thats me being my nicest and most spoiler freeabout it btw.#my other big takeaway is that tim is canonically older than jason and i think a grown ass man saying fuck that kid is really funny#[SPOILERS LOOK AWAY CJ]#<- tim currently works as a highschool science teacher while jason was shown to be adopted and made robin at 15#where he was then promptly captured and kidnapped by joker. he escaped half? a year later during asylum and AK takes place 2 years afterward#i think. the entire timeline for this shitty universe is awful and confusing. dick was robin for like 2 years its ridiculous.#and i think primarily so they can go noooo see bruce is a hot late 30 year old instead because you become dust at any older!!#but. back to the age thing. hes about 17 maybe early 18 during AK but because tim is a private school teacher he needs a bachelor's degree#and most people get it at 22/23ish and then theres the actual teacher application and being hired (or not because hes a nepo baby)#so hes early mid twenties or so. compared to a (presumably dead) teenager who he called a loser more or less.

if ur wondering why ive only been writing and finishing previously started crafts and not doing more field day or other drawing, the answer is school is already Beating My Ass
once there is a break in the clouds. its henry blake time
#.yappin#i realize theres not the biggest group of people wanting this content from me. but literally even 2 people going 'Yeah!! more!!' is enough#to motivate me. i am very easily swayed.#anyway alan alda has appeared all my years of school since senior year of highschool [thru videos or stories/mentions]#and this year i have a cognitive psych course. so. if he shows up this year. im betting its gonna be there#who knows maybe ill be in the middle of an ancient egypt lecture and the man himself strolls into the classroom#what do i know. he keeps fucking following me#guest lecture alan alda telling us all about the ancient novel and psych statistics.#better yet; he doesnt fucking say anything hes just sitting quietly at the back of the classroom Lurking#here for an education

One time years ago my mum was walking home, glanced at a window as she passed, and saw our cat there.
In the window
Curled up and looking outside
At my mum.
And she was like... what??? That's my cat??
And went and knocked on the door
And had to be like "hi. Uh. That's my cat???"
And apparently the neighbours had been feeding our cat and eventually let her inside when she wanted inside
And the REALLY weird part of this was like.. it's not like she looked like a stray. She was a black cat with a bright pink collar that had our contact information on it. They knowingly fed another person's cat and brought them inside???
(Also while I can laugh at this story, I do not support letting cats freeroam outside.)
#its always weird walking around and seeing a family cat outside#its like um. hi?#one time i left highschool to go home and saw a bunch of people petting an animal and got closer#and it was my cat#it was SO WEIRD#like i did NOT know these people#but chocolate was such a cuddlebug and loved people and we lived down the street from the highschool#so i guess she just came to hangout sometimes??#(same cat as in the post story!)#anyways i was like “chocolate. what are you doing here.”#and was like “hey guys. um. this is my cat. im taking her home.”#and scooped her up and brought her home so she wouldnt be killed by a car#imagine how funny that was from their perspective. you meet the cutest friendliest little cat and this person youve seen around school comes#by and just goes “actually thats mine” and picks it up and walks off. they didnt KNOW she was mine i could have been some random.person#i am so so grateful she was never stolen

I love love love your content - would you maybe possibly pretty please consider someday making a character in a highschool setting? If not its okay I just think it might be fun
Thank you, I'm glad you've been enjoying it!
As for having a (voiced or listener) high school aged character, I'm gonna have to say no. I mean, there's some unvoiced characters that are younger, but that's about it. I might make something in a more university setting someday, though! I can put a bit of explanation/clarification below, but just know this isn't directed specifically at you/I'm not bothered by you asking!
Again, I appreciate you asking, I'm not upset or anything! I just wanted to make my stance clear lol
I have a few reasons, but mainly I'm just not comfortable making boyfriend audios in that setting, you know? Even if it were a more platonic storyline.
Like. I'm 25, and while people under 18 listening to my YouTube audios doesn't particularly bother me, they definitely aren't my target audience. Obviously someone doesn't need to currently be in high school to enjoy that setting, but I feel like a lot of the people seeking it out would be in that age range. And making/voicing romantic storylines aimed specifically at them feels... unpleasant. For lack of a better word.
#asks#furthermore if you see someone making partner audios/asmr who is clearly very much an adult#but like 99% of their audios are in a high school setting#its a lil suspicious#like maybe theyre intentionally aiming for a younger demographic and in this genre thats a bit odd#also I never went to highschool lol#long story

unblocking several ppl because they admit the ending to wrestledream was ass
#i was actually optimistic for bryan's title reign despite me worrying abt his health#bryan did said he liked to lie so maybe all that talk abt being overdue for surgery is just him working us#and i did got worked!#but then yknow. 48 days of holding the title#a one off match with nigel that has no real consequences#a super rushed bcc break up#wheeler yuta turning on to him after a grand total of three weeks standing at his side#and bryan lost to a guy who only agree to lose on when he got a concussion or when he squashed the guy thats gonna defeat him first#no job mox strikes again lol i guess hes still bummed he lost to a highschooler in a bjj tournament#fragile mind fragile bod- okay fuck im not that mean#im mostly annoyed over how good the concept of a bcc breakup and a bryan as champ could have been#and honestly i was curious over what mox is gonna do. like his motivation that bcc had gotten too soft is something! you can turn that into#somehing good! except the motivation was never explicitly dwelled upon#bryan and mox never have a face off where they battle each other philosophies#marina shafirs addition to mox's group was never really explained#and tk never let the story breathe#everything happens so fan its borderline nonsensical. like interesting idea horrible execution#everything is super fucking rushed. like i can not BELIEVE wheeler would turn in like several weeks#and the nigel bryan feud is such a wasted opportunity#it could have been a year worth of good moments of stories but it ended in a few months#i feel ripped off for getting invested and im not even paying for a fite subscription#sigh.... its hard when the thing you like can be good but it sucks ass#wrasslin

veve with actual original content?? impossible.
anyways umm have some doodles of the characters from one of the stories in my head 🫶👽 (there is a chihuahua too but i forgot to draw him whoops)
basic storyline is that there's been an unsolved disappearance of one of the owners of a local taqueria, and while the (sherlock wannabe) hired detective tries to solve the case, two regulars of the restaurant (the Weird Kid obsessed with aliens, and the girl whose parents make her study 24/7) and the nephew of the missing owner (who really needs a raise) get way too involved in the mystery as they try to take matters into their own hands.
hbahfbgxn they are like scooby doo but stupider 💜 + they go over their master plans and suspect lists over restaurant booths and tortilla chips
#these characters are all unnamed btw!!!!! i have their entire personalities configured but zero names i would love any suggestions#the alien boy is also trans btw its not important to the story but its important to me#the schoolgirl has been playing the gpa game since birth (popular middle school girls lunge at her) she is also secretly a creepypasta fan#waiter guy is in highschool but has L rizz and is only working there because hes got nothing better to do#detective guy. is depressed and constantly in sherlock holmes cosplay (he hasnt solved a case in years)#he doesnt need these silly kids messing up his mystery but dont worry. they will grow on him.#veves ultra cool art#original character#original story#im making a short comic about them for a competition piece but these guys have been in my head for a year now

i think the funniest ocs ive ever had were it was like a next gen crossover au where all webseries (of the 2000s-2010s for reference) exist in the same world but its like the kids of the characters and the main character (and couple) were an eddsworld fankid and a dick figures fankid
#i dont think i Ever got around to making any other characters i doodled tf out of it in a journal that. idk where it is#lost forever or thrown out which is sort of sad i feel like theres gotta be smth in there....#anyways i think that would be a funny idea for an au still actually but i rewrote the ew kid into a different story#and the mild inspiration for the au gives me the ick i never even read it just thought ''oh big xover cool''#though i think. the ew kid when i first rewrote him i think i gave him a crossover fankid s/o again but idk what the fandom was#cuz i had mentioned it on the blog i was using him on and was vague about it#from context clues in my mind from that time. first year or so of highschool. fucked up it mightve been a tmnt fankid#ALSOOOOO so everyone can rest well. the ew fankid was the kid of one of the main guys BUT!!! the mom is never specified#and i dont think i had a mom in mind the kid looks like 99% like his dad#the dick figures girl was blue x pink obviously. was her name pink. the fankid was called magenta#i swear there was at least 1 other character i mightve had when i first made it. but that would be in Lost Journal#i bet if i kept it going i wouldve had a htf kid or a charlie the unicorn kid cuz i was sick in the heeeaaaaddd#i never posted like anything about it. 1 pic on dA long deleted and talked abt them to The RP Girl#i still love the ew kid dearly but its bc i saved him from That#ACTUALLY THE EXTRA FUNNIEST FCKING THING WAS IN CHATS for some reason despite how eddsworld is#i accidentally implied the fankid was. born in canada. cuz im canadian and it leaked into the writing#DUNNO WHAT THE EW GUY WOULD BE DOING IN CANADA but that detail which i only realized NOW is rlly funny to me i want it canon
