Since Twitter is down, I'll let you guys peep this

I'm still busy with commissions so have this comic I drew for Pocky Day

[munchboxart]

Real photo deco-ing hours

Oh yeah I don't think I've shared these here either. I hand embroidered that plush by the way :3 Jun plush in the works but only when I have more time to do it, it took me a whole day to do Mui. Also the white stuff on his face is extra stuff from the tracing paper

I did these a while ago, especially the first 2. You know those ID photo holders from the first ones are magnetic on the sides? I'm obsessed with these. I wanna collect more stuff like these and put my guys in them. The letters for the 2nd one can be rearranged too, I have other shapes like stars, clouds, rainbows I think, whatever was included.

Happy Little Workers Halloween edition comic 🎃

Happy Splatoween 🎃! (even though I'm kinda late 👻) This one does have a comic but you'll have to wait a day or two for it

Happy Splatoween 🎉

Yay I finally managed to make my 2023 art summary! First half of the year was a little disappointing looking back (in terms of both amount and quality). I think I managed to make more personal work this year, thankfully, which is what I wanted last year

[munchboxart]

I don't want to draw anymore, I simply think that all of the images in my head that I want to draw should appear onto my canvas instead

[munchboxart]

Any time I go super deep into thought, just know it's yaoi driven I'm sorry

what are photocards..? are they like, tiny mini prints?

Kind of! They're headshots of people/characters. These are most known/used in K-POP since bands/singers sell these to fans

And what I was referring to yesterday was photocard deco, which is basically decorating these. You'd usually get a sleeve for these and decorate stickers on top of the sleeve, rather than the picture itself since 1. You can re-use the photo, and 2. You can sell off the photo if you end up changing your mind (this is more typically done in the K-POP scene though).

I'm pretty new to it since a friend introduced me to it, but I do need to let you know that there are specific sleeve sizes and standards and such, I'd be happy to explain more about it if anyone's interested.

I have my own albums as well for these except my collection is pretty sad because I haven't drawn enough JunMui and also I don't have a PRINTER. The last one (black and white) was supposed to be for an Aikawa print. IF I HAD ONE. For now, I've just been collecting stickers while I save up for a mini printer.

I hope you know that I also have these:

Don't let the 2nd one fool you, they're extremely small. It's so dire out here I literally don't have any other artwork of them. Actually I need to print out that holiday one of them one day but it's dire out here

My only contribution to the Easter Splatfest as bunny and bear are the animals I associate for JunMui

Possibly graphic (I drew something that involves melting faces + something that looks like a blood transfusion) but I'm just gonna be talking about my headcanon about the biology of Inkfish, so I will be going into blood details and such

This is such a long post so warning for that too

Ok so I've been floating around the idea of internal ink, which is what keeps the Inkfish's body structure.

To get this out of the way since I think I remember hearing someone mention about Inkfish not having blood because Ink sac make's them explode etc etc. I don't think Inkfish evolution would go as far as to remove their essential internal body parts, especially when blood is what keeps most creatures alive, especially fish. I still think Inkfish has blood and such. It's what keeps them alive and works exactly the same as all living creatures including us.

So what about internal ink? I believe there needs to be a set amount of internal ink that let's Inkfish control their body structure (like how they can switch forms and such). Though if one loses too much, they won't be able to hold their form for too long, which includes their internal body system and such and will die since their structure collapses.

I got this idea from how they melt/dissolve in water because there's an imbalance of ink (I forgot the word I'm stupid) and so they can't hold their structure because there's too much other liquid (if I'm remembering this right). Though they still come back from that (same with enemy ink and such). I don't know why, I don't know how, maybe there's just enough ink for them to recollect and coagulate together since it's not the internal ink that was lost (though I remember hearing that the ink sac is what explodes them or something, I don't know if this is right, if it is then ignore me for what I'm gonna say next).

If someone loses too much internal ink, I'd imagine you can get some sort of transfusion for that from another inkfish, either directly from the ink sac or maybe some sort of ink veins. Also since like, Inkfish output a lot of ink, I think there could be like, 2 types of ink, input and output. Input is a lot denser (aka the body), output is more loose whatever that means. So Inkfish can put out a lot of ink but still have enough to regulate their body.

How someone can lose their internal ink? I think you can lose it from having an imbalance for too long (so like your ink doesn't get recovered/inkfish soul thing that flies around after you get splatted(?????) stays too long in other liquids). Maybe you some how got separated from your other ink (in terms of physical distance) that you aren't able to regulate your body anymore. Maybe your ink sac being infected/too damaged (although if the exploding ink sac thing is real, then ignore the 2nd part). Maybe a mix of blood loss for fun? MAYBE you lost so much ink at once somehow and aren't able to recover in a short amount of time (maybe unlikely. Though possible for older Inkfish since they do dry out...). I don't know I didn't think this far 😭

Anyways the next part is me explaining the image above and it's purely just my insane rambling about JunMui, you're free to go.

Ok so I had the idea of Mui losing a lot of internal ink by losing so much at once that his body is having a hard time recovering, so Jun does a direct ink transfusion, but so much was lost that his structure also starts to melt. He's going to recover, it's just that it's going to take some time compared to Mui who lost way more.

Sorry this is a lot, ramblings of an insane person LOL Though feel free to let me know what you guys think, just don't be mean, I'm fragile LOL

I like to stick to canon too as closely as possible but I might ignore some stuff because 1 there's a lot of interviews 2 I'm lazy (sorry....) 3 I probably didn't know
