#kn8 can't keep doing this to me

[nightfal1n]

Pretty sure I used to be so normal about Narumi until this week's B-side last two panels

[mechazushi]

⬆ A Live recreation of me scrolling down and slowly realizing what exactly I'm seeing right now.

But seriously, If you think a writer making something for your art is the highest honor, then it's the same for writers (if not more so) because-

HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT, MA HEART ✨💝🫶🥺🥰😍🔥💕💖🥹🌈🌌🏩🥇🎆🎇

I don't think I'm ever going to have another moment where I get to feel a dawning realization that I'm seeing what I wrote displayed on someone else's ART?!?!??!? Like, just, bvfjkbvfhebjveqIWROTETHATANDTHERESARTWITHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!FUCKANDITSREALLYGOODARTTOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but Hoshina's Glare at the guards- I can't 😭🤣

As for the formatting, I personally have no problems with it, but there are a couple things that I've noticed as far as webcomics are set up. One: they try to be more show than tell or if they're lore dumping they frame it as a scene as the main character's thoughts on the subject matter after someone else drops a trigger word for the subject. Then they typically break everything up into two to three sentence word balloons dispersed between relevant art pieces that accentuate what's being said. That way, the art takes over and acts as what would have been my overly descriptive and flowery writing, thus leading to the need for less words. Two, If this was the beginning of a comic, then the second page would have to be refitted to act as the first, then I would have to find a way to trail the sentence structure to meld into what the characters are doing currently. (Again, this is just stuff I've noticed from reading way too many Historical inspiration drama webtoons. I have no certified knowledge as to how to actually frame a comic, so please take all this information with a large lump of salt. 😙)

This is just, I'm sorry- I can't even right now, it's just *sobs* it's so beautiful.

BY THE WAY- Now that chapter 117 came out (yes it still hasn't left my mind) Does anything about that chapter feels familiar to you? Like, I don't know, KAFKA ABSORBING A MILLION SOULS AFTER FIGHTING KAIJU NUMBER 9!?!?!? THE MORIWYVERN AND THE KAIJU INSIDE KAFKA FEEL WAY TOO SIMILAR TO ME AND IT'S KINDA SCARING ME!!?!?!? DID I ACCIDENTALLY PREDICT KAFKA'S FATE IN A ONE-OFF KN8 FANTASY AU FIC?!??!?!!?!

*licks tablet* I love this thing. :D

Since I've been struggling with colours, I started to try some stuff like webcomics/manga and it was very addicting and satisfying :)

I already see so much progress and change between page 1 and 3, and that I really haven't settled on a certain style yet haha

The skript's not mine, it's @mechazushi's wonderful contribution to our Kaiju Fantasy AU, we've been working on the past few months..

I sorta neglected the Ref sheets project, but I still can't bring my mind to move on from this story. It lives in my head rentfree <3

YOU CAN READ ALL OF IT HERE ON TUMBLR

I wouldn't have come up with a good skript/story myself, since words are sorta my weak spot, so I hope it's okay for you, that I'm taking your idea and literally your words xD..

I feel like the sentence's length is not exactly fit for manga, - naturally, since it is originally a fanfic.. therefore I altered a few things, but I feel like it would've needed some more adjustment.. I dunno..

[nocandnc]

I rarely read manga. I only do it if I can't wait for the next season. Kaiju No 8 made me read manga and become a shipper again. Studies show that if you have a ship, you will become more invested on the series.

It's a bit sad though that there's not much OkoHoshi fan content. (There's even more in official material)

But who knows, maybe more people will notice, but even if we remain few, it's fine as well.

Hi there~

I don't always read the manga for things either, but I've also gone ahead and caught up on Kaiju No. 8!

Ships sure are a powerful thing, huh? I hope people don't misunderstand though - I'm not just in it for the shipping!! I just think, everyone else is probably talking about the big important stuff already... so I'm going to make some noise talking about the littler things instead! That's just how I operate ^^;;

That being said, I haven't had a ship consume me the way OkoHoshi has in quite a long time. It's a little overwhelming!!! I just love both of their characters so much, and the fact that they're always together and have their little banter moments... it's way too good!

I'm pretty used to shipping rarepairs, so I'm fine with them being less popular... but the fact that it's attached to a series like Kn8 already makes it feel like a much bigger ship than I'm used to lol

I'll keep drawing and writing things for them as I please in any case, and if folks happen to enjoy what I whip up then that's cool too!!

[nithica]

Hi Nini!

So I've recently started reading the manga for Sakamoto days. (BTW your theme change had me wanting to plus it was on my to-reads,)

(Also I have no room to judge for anything after this part and it is pure satire)

I have three words for you.

What. The. Fuck.

(I'm around chapter 50 i think.)

I can't say I don't see it but jesus. This has to be the biggest hear me out I've actually agreed on since my friend said all for one. I'm still in shock over her saying that, but anyway. Tangent.

I see it and I now know why.

I am in anguish.

Good night.

-Ashira

hi babes!!!🥰

YAYYY for you picking up sakamoto days!!! i hope you’re enjoying it. it’s up there with KN8 for me. tell me everything!! what do you think? who do you like most? how fire is the art? ✨

… … … googling that all for one… … … …. nods. i can see the appeal LOL

but JASJDKDKD IM IN TEARS. my poor man. being done dirty like this. wipes away a little tear. i will be telling him about this…. (he would agree. i am the weirdo here)

but thank you for dropping by and i hope you keep enjoying the series 🥹🫶 GOODNIGHT!!💖

[mechazushi]

Nothing serious, just a me thing. (I'm just stressing over bullshit, don't read too hard into this)

@bluevelvetea

@iceclew

Hey, sooo, um... I don't really know how to go about this so I'm just gonna say it.

Bluevelvetea has extended an invite to the Kn8 Discord server and Iceclew keeps saying that me and Her? should do a shared canvas thing? together and there's also someone on Ao3 that offered to make fanart for me and wanted to hit them up on Discord or somewhere else and....

I am very well aware that I haven't said anything about it, about saying that I'd love to or putting forth an effort to make that happen because...

I've... never had people to do that with. I've only had one irl friend so far and ever since i've graduated early and she went off to college, she's been ridiculously hard to get a hold of. She has shitty connection, she has a history of being broke so she has to sacrifice things on occasion, and she lets text pile up. I send her several texts over months and then when I DO finally catch her at a time where she can text me back, she'll drop at a random point in the conversation without telling me she left and I can't get a hold of her for another month. It doesn't help that she lets me do all the talking so I hardly know anything about her at this point.

My parents are next door neighbors and they come over often. I can't talk to my mom about things i'm into because she calls them "Irrational" and "Not useful" sometimes. I love talking about White and Nerdy things with my dad, but we can't really talk about the things we like in front of mom because she has this weird thing about hating listening to others talking and can't take it when me and dad talk about anime or a new reddit alien story he found. He can't catch up on things we both like because Mom gets on us for being on our phones too much and since he's around her more often than me, he just kinda stuck between gaming, helping mom around the house, or on his phone (He's out of a job right now because he's been in recovery from his second knee surgery, but mom wants the both of them to get jobs soon and for me to get a different one)

We love her, Its just she's a really big, "Gotta keep doing useful and important things" Kinda person? Not into sitting on asses and watching shows for too long. Really likes home improvement projects, does that make any sense? I can talk to her about things, but the only subject I feel like I can talk to her about are medical oddities or advancements, something her Scabble Go partners did, or how shitty it is that we're stuck in this town that we're in and can't do anything she considers fun, which is leaving state boarders and going ANYWHERE ELSE. She constantly wants greener pastures and the only thing that gets her to stop focusing on how monotonous her life feels is projects. Anything fanatical or imaginary she deems not worth the time and I feel like she judges others who enjoy that. I think the reason why her favorite genre of movies/shows is sci-fi is because it's escapeism crossing with potential realism. At the point in time where average citizens can escape their problems thanks to science and head to the stars, is where she would be happiest and that's the only thing she can get out of shows.

Anyway. the point is, I've never met people that wanted to talk to me about things I liked and gave me more options to express myself and my thoughts to others who might feel the same way. Being able to meet others who can do things I can't and being the person who inspired others to make something I can only literally dream of has been a kind of a bucket list item for me. I never thought I'd get to meet people who felt friendly enough with me on the internet to go out of their way to make art about something I've thought about without me having to pay for it or have chances to talk to others about something I've thought about and get responses about it back.

I definitely thought I would be on here for, like, another year or something before people would talk to me, let alone just... make something I spoke about into existence. Which is great, but it's also kinda scaring me a little. I'm one of those people that's afraid of change and I have a horrible habit of backpedaling to my comfort zone, even though it's supposed to be something that could be beneficial.

I'm probably blowing this way out of proportion than I should be, but not telling you guys about whether or not I want to join makes me feel like I'm unintentionally ghosting you on the subject and it's been eating me alive slightly. I feel like I've just been casually handed something I thought I had to earn and now that I have it, i'm chewing off my own hands over my own fear of the responsibility I think it comes with. I seek power only to cower from it once I have it. (anxiety sucks, doesn't it)

Another big thing is that I despise giving out my email. I hate dealing with it, I hate acknowledging that I have one, why does everything need to have my email just let me at the thing I want- *ahem* and apparently Discord falls under that. I've always wanted to have discord friends, it's was another shitty bucket list thing, I just never thought that I could be given the opportunity to do so and well.... you just read how I felt about that.

I've might have also given myself decision fatigue over "If I DID have Discord, where should I keep it?" I have a phone, I almost had to install the app anyway because I've been recently visiting a D&D group at a time where our Dm is having to telecommute at this point in time (We settled on a different solution and used someone else's appliance) But Mom is already on my ass about "Being on my phone too much" and "Its old, I should get it replaced" and "When are you going to do something different with you're life". And I don't know where or how to use this "Communal Live Canvas" Thing Iceclew's been asking me to try, but if it involves art, I draw better on my phone.

But If I put it on my laptop, where I keep my Tumblr access in, I can regulate how often I'm on the site. Mom doesn't know about my account (I think? She's seen the password for it but hasn't commented on why I have it? I'M NOT GOING TO TELL HER ABOUT IT. last thing I want to ever hear about is a lecture) But the decision cycles back around to "If I put it here, do I want to bite the bullet and sacrifice potential quality over how I could express my thoughts even though I have next to no artistic talent."

I guess I should go about this like a rational person and ask questions, but at this point I don't know If I'm just hunting for excuses to procrastinate.

I know this is hella long but I just thought I'd let you guys in on why haven't said anything on the subject and my head-space on why I'm like this, even thought this is probably just stupid and I'm overreacting and I don't want this to seem like a cry for help or anything. It's just that I'm so super thankful for meeting you two and how both of you really like listening to what I say and I'm just kinda overwhelmed at how easy this was. I honestly thought it would be harder to make friends online and I'm just reeling a little and in a kinda "Deer in headlights" mentality right now.

Blue, I'm very much aware that you said "No pressure" on the discord thing and I appreciate that, this is just how I am. I treat every minor decision like I'm the government, Taken six months too long with a shit ton of paperwork that could have just been settled as a gentleman's hand shake.

Ice, I really like the idea of working with you on something, but you might have to elaborate on how that works before I can feel okay enough to make a decision. I have a lot of irrational fears over things and exposing myself to new mechanics on the internet is one of them. I'm working on them, I just need Time and the universe hates it when I ask for it, that's all.

Sonic, with some of the few thing we know of Soshiro's family, there being snobs like that isn't that hard to imagine. And although annyoing is better to deal with that kind of people, then those that would actively try to hurt, harm or even kill Kafka and Skully regardless of blood relations, relationship stauts or still having their humanity intact. There are always someone like that somehwere. Even more so if the Hoshina clan is a very big family to begin with. From aunts, grandparents, cousins and the like living together. Not just the parents and brother who lives miles away, rarely visit the family home.

Yeah thats a double bomb alright. I'll give you that. But if they are anything like their son, Skully will be in good hands. Hell, if Kafka really struggle to find a proper place to live, his parents might be more then happy to have the two live with them until a proper home can be found. Skully might even like spending time with his grandparents on his mama side. Which may allow Kafka more time to himself and get things in order. And Kafka being very happy to learn from his parents on what to do at least in some aspects.

And then they meet Reno too. Suddenly they have to grandsons to spoil and love on. The poor boy won't know what hits him until its too late. Kikoru become their first (unoffically) grandaugther too. I have a hard time not seeing them doing that when they learn of Isao's 'creative' parenting.

Yeah I can see Kafka having a hard time meeting Soshiro's parents, nevermind the whole family. But I can also see Soshiro being also nervous meeting Kafka's as well. Theres just something about meeting the parent of you lover that just brings out the butterflies in not so funny ways. And maybe low-key terrified by Kafka's mom in someways the swordman refuse to admit on.

Sonic, since when has any kaiju reproductive activity ever made sense? The fact that the KN8 vers is so flexible makes it even easier for us all to mess with it even more and go as crazy as we like. I already have ideas for a new au based on a game I've been playing recently, but I'm holding it off until I've made more progress on my siren au.

Btw, this thought came into mind. Bakko is most likely the one who puts the puzzle piece together first. Mainly due to how similare the scent both father and son have. Even if the adult is in kaiju form and Skully not having a human form yet means he still smell the same. The himbo is lucky the tiger can't talk or else he'd been in trouble much faster.

Oh I believe 10 is far from stupid or even suicidal enough to try and attack the nest of a active kaiju parent. However, something tells me 9 will not give him much of a choice. Given what we know of 9, it won't surprise me 10 only attacks because 9 is basically gave him a command he can deny or ignore. Which is like his only real exause when he has to explain himself to Kafka why he attacked. And hope not getting into a round two with the himbo, given this most likely happens after 9 and the daikaiju is finally defeated and Kafka has gained his upgraded form.

Speaking of which. Skully is gonna have stars in his eyes seeing his mama's new form. No doubt wishing to become just as strong and cool looking too when he is an adult. Kafka probably have mixed feelings on that.

You aren't wrong about Soshiro's family potentially having psychopaths or worse. Bigger clans are highly likely to have such a darkness present. This makes Kafka even more cautious around them than just his partner.

Our himbo is definitely gonna be scolded a bit for keeping the whole kaiju thing secret. They can handle such a secret and help him too. Also Reno definitely found himself being adopted into the family immediately. So will Kikoru too because I ain't leaving her out either.

I think another reason why Soshiro would be nervous is due to his poor childhood. That's gonna leave a mark on someone, especially if the reason revolves around a parent's expectations. Luckily Kafka's parents aren't like this but it'll take time for him to realize this.

That evolution definitely has everyone pondering if Skully would eventually do the same. (It's a very complicated yes.) Kafka does have mixed feelings about this new form. His whelp is even smaller to him and that newfound strength made him nervous to interact with Skully.

I SUPPORT YUME/SELF-SHIPPERS | and people just being down horrendous for 2D characters (i myself am also down horrendous for a number of 2D characters). i can't imagine that that would bother anyone who's already here but just in case :3

Kaiju no.8 manga ch109. I'm alive and well fed. Thank you Matsumoto Naoya

They somehow made Mina's first mission flashback hurts even more than it already does TT-TT

BUT that makes her even stronger. I expect kn8 to let Kafka and Mina talks to each other at some point but feared it might turn out to be Mina going full emotinal outburst or even worst guilting Kafka. Turned out it played out in a very mature way.

Kafka's goal is...very fitting of him...("No death is unrealistic" spooked me a bit though. Young Kafka you're too much into gaming) that master swordman though. DONT LET HOSHINA HEAR THAT.

Do I get sad for lack of battle progress? A little bit. Also why are they talking instead of keep attacking? of course (technically that can easily be brushed off as Kafka too need to get a little bit of break after all damage he received) but emotional reward is too big for me to even mind! you can even say they spent the moment in very efficient way because it strengthen a trust between them

Just few honest words and a wall between them disappears. Because they're always longing to stand by each other's side fighting against the worst enemy of mankind.

The current mood can be taken as "Is the series getting axed soon?" or "Kafka and Mina's dream is just the first big arc. There's more to explore!" I hope for the later because so many plot threads left untouched. I have yet to see the division that handle my 2nd hometown! You can't end here! NOT BEFORE U LET ME SIMP MY HOMETOWN Anti-Kaiju DEFENSE FORCE!!!! O [] O
