since I saw your post of frank going butterfly hunting with their skirt, it got me wondering..what if eddie too had a skirt!
I imagine frank got him into the whole flowy dress ordeal. probably wears one when going through his mail shift or while working on the garden with frank.
oh my gosh...matching skirts!
considering that apparently Eddie has done drag, i imagine that its probably the other way around!!
i gotta a little lost in the sauce w/ these and forgot what the rest of the ask said besides "FranklyDear in skirts" oopsies <3
#I REMEMBERED THE MATCHING SKIRTS PART THO#i came to answer the ask and went '...ah. there was a lot more to it'#im starting to really enjoy drawing skirts#so maybe in the future i Will scribble him just going about his day in a skirt#tho im Very Obviously not used to doodling non-pleated ones#evidence: eddie in the first scribble#also adding eddie to the ever-growing list of characters i Cannot draw consistently#hes all over the place here#anyhow THEYRE EVERYTHING TO ME <3<3<3<3#anon thank you for this opportunity 🙏#scribble salad#welcome home#welcome home puppet show#franklydear#i continue to wish i found skirts remotely comfy. id probably pull em off really well#sigh... ill just have to settle for slapping them on not only my own characters but others' as well

Charles should be grateful that we're no seahorses cause just give me a minute with him and I'll make him pregnant. I think if he really had the power to conceive max would be now having a football team of his kids. Like the the aura of being the most breedable he has is so insane.
And other than that his face gives off that he's a crier during sx like I know every single one on that grid makes to have a piece of him and they envy max and seb and Carlos for getting that (maybe Lewis in the future who knows).
My point of this is I want to bang Charles leclerc so hard till he cries and have him pregnant and make his belly bulge with seed untill it leaks out of him
seriously i think u dug into the deepest pits of my brain and stole every single one of my thoughts cuz. U GET ME!!!!!!! the football team of kids? like genuinely it would be an army. yk those teachers u had in school who were pregnant literally every every single year… That would be Charles. every new yearly max wdc win would come with a new lestappen baby. And good for him!! Good for max!! Good for everybody involved actually i think the world would be a better place if charles was busy getting bred 24/7
#the maybe Lewis in the future comment made me laugh#ok anon it’s definitely happened once or twice#it’s just about to become fulltime#there is actually an amazing pic i got sent yesterday of lewis and Charles in maternity photoshoot pose#his hand on pregcharles’ belly and everything

What do you think yuuji missing his two fingers mean? Do you think he still communicates with sukuna?
hi, anon!
based on the symbolism of these two fingers (the little finger for promises and the ring finger for eternal love and loyalty) i feel like yuuji looking down at them and choosing not to replace one is like his way of keeping things open for sukuna in the future.
in japan, the little finger is often associated with creativity, romance, and expressing your true feelings. similarly, the ring finger on the left hand is referred to in japan as the "wedding finger" or "marriage finger" as it's a custom that wearing a ring on that finger brings good luck and prosperity during marriage. this belief comes from a theory in chinese traditional medicine that certain parts of the body were connected by "meridians" or pathways that kept energy flowing through the body.
gege loves subtle nods to buddhism and philosophical concepts, but i'm not sure how deep the symbolism for this scene is supposed to run. regardless, i think it's very telling that it's those two fingers specifically that gege chose for yuuji to lose.
yuuji's little finger was ripped off by sukuna (in order to possess megumi) while yuuji's other finger was willingly given up to rika in order to help destroy sukuna. this is extremely fitting because, not only did yuuji fail to keep his promise to protect megumi, but he also committed himself (his entire life) to sukuna. in the beginning, his commitment was to bring about sukuna's true and final death, but now his commitment seems to be to keep the door open for sukuna. and just like sukuna stole away yuuji's promise (and refused to give it back, leaving yuuji to have to be the one to literally tear it back from sukuna), yuuji is also refusing to let go of his own promise that he is willing to accept sukuna and "try again" with him.
i think yuuji can sense sukuna's happiness or at least sukuna's calm and peaceful state in the afterlife. he has faith that sukuna will choose a better path to walk down in the next life. he set sukuna north but he's still waiting with open arms in case sukuna ever chooses to come back to him. and he's accepting of that. he's looking down at his fingers almost fondly, because the worst seems to be over and he has faith in a more hopeful future for both sukuna and himself.
seeing as how there's so much symbolism around fingers in this series, it's very telling that yuuji is okay, even satisfied, with the fact that his fingers are missing. sukuna really did take yuuji's future for his own, because not only did he mark yuuji's body irreversibly, but yuuji is also missing the finger that is commonly used for the ring in marriages. that implies that his future still belongs to sukuna, and vice versa since sukuna's remaining finger was returned to the shed where it was originally found in yuuji's school. so if sukuna ever chooses to reincarnate, he has a clear path he can follow back to yuuji if he wants to. and since yuuji was the one to offer sukuna a better future, he also left an eternal mark on the former king of curses.
it's like he's saying he's still connected to sukuna, that even though their messy, forced marriage and even messier, crazier divorce is over, yuuji is still waiting for sukuna. he's committed himself to sukuna and has hope that they will meet again. just like an ex who refuses to take off the ring from their last marriage, he's still saying he's more than willing to get back together with sukuna if it ever could happen again. he was made for sukuna, he had no choice over that. but the fact that he's still willing to choose sukuna, to want to still be fated to him....
it's so beautifully poetic. i really can't ever get over these two.
#anon#asks#meta#honey posts#sukuita#sukuna ryomen#itadori yuuji#i've seen a few other posts about this concept#i feel like it's very meaningful that yuuji is content with how everything turned out#that he has faith in that final finger and believes sukuna can be protective and not just destructive#he's like the ex who knows that highly toxic and complicated marriage didn't work out the first time#because they were both forced into it#but next time when they both have more control over their own choices and futures#i believe he will have faith that things can work out far better for them#he's still willing to accept sukuna#he's been open to sukuna since 265 on#he's given his life to sukuna... out of choice#and he's still hopeful that sukuna will willingly return back to him too#maybe someday

How would the sinners react to the reader (who presumably they care about to some degree or another) distorting? I think there's a lot of potential in a reader distorting and the conflict that would bring (especially if the sinners are close to them) and there's almost none of it so...
God these became so long
Faust: She would like to study the phenomenon of distortion, but not like this. Not when the one she cares so much about is involved. Her mind is racing to find the right questions that would lead to answers relevant to this problem. She doesn't want to consider killing them, but she knows very well how these things tend to go. Her team works hunting distortions, after all. Still, there is a chance, a remote possibility that she can revert this. She's a scientist who sticks to hard data, but this time she has to put her faith on something much more abstract: hope.
Yi Sang: He wishes he could have perceived the circumstances that have led to this. He knows an individual does not distort under normal circumstances. He knows a distorted individual is one who was often pushed to the brink of their sanity by an immeasurable amount of suffering. He feels impotent in the face of his dearest's pain, because if he had been a better person, he could have prevented this. It takes all the other sinners' help to make him realize he can still stop them, and that there is a chance to revert the distortion. He needs all the support to actually face them in combat.
Don Quixote: She's shaken and unsure of what to do because she's used to seeing distortions as foes. She heard all the scientific explanations to this occurrence, but in her mind she simplifies it so she can do her job competently. Now she has to come to face the fact that behind every distortion is a person who is dear to someone else. The world is not so black and white with heroes and monsters. The one that takes a monstrous form this time is none other than a person; a human she deeply cares for. She is uncharacteristically serious and sober, and leans on the smarter sinners to solve this issue.
Meursault: He knows it can be reversed and that's the first thing his mind goes to when it happens. He's compartmentalizing it so bad he can't feel his own body. It's do or die, and he doesn't want the latter to be happening to anybody here. If they can undo this, he can begin to unravel the reason for their distortion, but for now he can only think one step ahead. He needs to bring them back, no matter what it takes. Failure is not an option here.
Ryoshu: The trembling of her hand is almost imperceptible as she listens to the explanations the big brained sinners give her. She knows she will have to face them in battle sooner or later, but for the first time in a while her muse fails her. She doesn't want to lift her arm, she doesn't want to use her knowledge of murder to take them down. Ultimately, she doesn't want to cut down the monster her beloved has become. There's no art in taking the life of a distorted creature, no soul in a brainless abomination. She wants them back. She will have them back.
Ishmael: Not only has she read the manuals about this phenomenon, she has also seen it happen many times before. More than that, she knows it's reversible. She's holding onto hope that she knows them well enough to talk them out of it. She raises her shield and mace, gritting her teeth and bracing her heart and mind for what she has to do. If they are to have a chance, she has to strike them down. She doesn't want to do it, but she also doesn't want to see any of the others do it either. She must be the one to neutralize the threat.
Heathcliff: He knows that behind a distorted monster there is a human being going through unimaginable suffering and grief. He's been there, he knows better than any other sinner what goes in a distorted person's head. He's the most hopeful about it, even if he's not looking forward to taking them down in combat. Heathcliff doesn't want to hurt the one he cares about, but he knows it is a necessary part of the process. He won't fail them, no matter what.
Outis: She's dealt with this before many, many times. Her team's the most competent at handling distortions. Of course, they're a bumbling bundle of fools, but still the company trusts them with these missions for a reason. Still, for all the outer confidence she tries to show while she requests permission to order the sinners around, her voice wavers. Her hand trembles when she has to raise her weapon, and the sound of breaking glass when the others take on their ids make her jumpy and tense. Will it really be fine? Are they really enough? As another identity begins to override her mind, she cannot help but ask herself: is she making the right choice?
Hong Lu: His heart is taken by unspeakable sadness, he can barely bring himself to say a word. He's seen distorted people before, and to them it always seemed like the manifestation of nightmares. To him, a distortion is always a physical manifestation of one's nightmares, and he can't help but look up at them and wonder: is this what haunts them in the darkest, coldest nights? Of course they cannot answer him, they're lost to their own grief. Whether they are capable of words, it's impossible to say unless they are confronted. Regardless of the answer, what he knows is that this event will forever haunt his nightmares from now on. He relies on his comrades to help bring them back, but he feels too helpless to lead the charge. He numbs his heart to the task ahead and waits for Dante's orders patiently.
Rodion: She feels cold, like it's the coldest winter night. She's sure it's only herself though. She cracks a joke about how the weather changed, and tries to smile but everybody knows how hard she's faking it. She's shaken, and among all the low blows life has given her, this is the one that bends her spirit near its breaking point. She tries to keep her smile up, in spite of the deep pain she feels in her chest. She knows if she isn't careful, she'll be the next to distort here. For a moment she wonders if that wouldn't be the preferrable route. After all, then they both could be together again as monsters.
Sinclair: This can't be real, right? This must be a mirror dungeon or something. His mind is being tested, that's all. It is definitely not real. Because after all the suffering he had to face through his journey in hell, why's it that he has to go through this too? Has he not gone through enough punishment to pay for his sins? No. No, maybe not. The mistakes of his frivolous, youthful, immature mind are yet to be paid for, and this is why he has to witness a person so dear to him distort. Deep inside he can't help but feel a deep anger and hatred towards life and this unfair world he finds himself in. He will save them, no matter the cost. He will save them, and FUCK YOU WORLD YOU WON'T TAKE THIS FROM ME. YOU WON'T TAKE ANYBODY ELSE FROM ME. DON'T FUCK WITH ME!
Gregor: Of course some shit like this had to happen eventually. He sort of saw the signs of a greater darkness hiding in their heart before, but he could never... bring it up. He knows that somehow, he's half responsible for their pain. If he was a better man, he would have stopped it in time, but now he has to see them become something else; something out of control. He trusts the others to come up with a solution that could bring the person he treasures so much back, but he's resigned himself to observing and following orders. The best he can do here is let others take over for him. He could never do anything right on his own. He's sorry, deeply so, but knows that his sorrow won't change a thing.

just read the side boob tattoo blurb...what about dear reader surprising our feral captain with a brand new badass back piece?
perfect for those back shots, no? eheheee
Ooh anon he's gonna destroy you is that what you want (i want it too)
He finds out when you present yourself so sweetly in nothing but a flimsy silk robe- a coming home gift, as you phrased it- something to unwrap for coming home alive and safe. He suspects nothing, eager to be reunited with you, to feel you wrapped around him again.
But once you bend over onto all fours and arch your back once the robe comes off? It's all he can focus on. He won't let you back up or flip you over. He's gonna keep you pinned and wailing, eyes laser-focused on your back tattoo, maybe even be a little selfish and focus on his pleasure as he treats you like a new toy he gets to break in.
He'll leave little scratches along the edges of the tattoo, tracing the outline as if he drew it, but he's careful to leave the actual tattoo alone. He just wants you to feel the sting, to feel his sting. Leave his own marks on you. And you do feel it. Both inside and out. Captain MacTavish is a thorough man and he's gonna leave his marks scratched into your back and painted inside you.
And as much as the tattoo makes him want to bend you over constantly, he wishes you asked him to do the tattoo instead. He's an artist, after all, it's no trouble for him to sketch marks onto what's his. Not to worry, though, you've got plenty of skin still unmarred and untouched. He'll find a place to tattoo his initials into your flesh.
#anon if you were talking about price im sorry im probably gonna be writing for soap only#maybe that'll change in the future but who knows#but if you were talking about og soap? i gotchu#bangus answers#anon#john soap mactavish x reader#john soap mctavish x reader#soap mactavish x reader#soap x reader#soapy thoughts :]#captain mactavish x reader

do you still write?
Yup!! I know it's been a few months since I posted something, but I'm actually like 90% done with a ~60k word fic I'll probably start posting in the next few weeks, depending on how editing goes. I'm pretty excited about it! It's definitely the most self-indulgent thing I've worked on and I'm having a blast.
#Asks#I have decided to take this in good faith. But also maybe consider how you word things in the future anon#It can be a bit demoralizing to get these kinds of asks when I literally last posted something in August#I am not a content machine yada Yada

I just finished reading your last analysis about our heroes. Love it very much. Also, thank you for that section about Melissa. She’s one my favorites out of everyone 🥹 I really never hear much about her that’s nice because they’re more concerned with how long she lasted. Melissa is also one of my favorites to write. Getting older is understanding that she seemed so odd because she was ahead of her time (given what year it was when her first episode happened). Sometimes I also wonder if they were psychically linked. I also like to think that the universe brought Monica to Dana because she needed a sister at a major juncture in her life (the pregnancy and all of that drama). Anyway… I enjoyed your whole entire analysis. Plus I also have at least one story coming in December where Melissa plays a fun part. I’ll tag you when I post it ☺️
Please do! I'd love to read it. :DDDDD And I agree: Melissa's legacy was all over Scully's personal journey... in a way that wouldn't have existed had she lived. For better or for worse, it happened; but I like the way it was handled, too (for what the series was and is.) It drew a parallel between Scully and the work that was similar and dissimilar to Mulder's own: both losing a sister to the Consortium. But Samantha's loss was a toll of possibilities-- who might she have become? her and Mulder's last exchange was a fight over the tv, did she know he loved her?-- and Melissa's an unintentional murder through following her sister's "orders." Both very different, heavy things.
I also think you're spot on: Monica Reyes was sent to Scully when she needed a sister in her life.
Obviously it's fun for the fandom to ship her and Scully; but the original intent, that you nailed, was to help fill the hole Melissa's absence left. She shows up whenever Scully needs feminine support, she talks about psychics and the supernatural, she pushes Mulder past his own paranormal parameters, she hums whale songs and helps Scully deliver her baby. In short: she is, quite literally, a callback to Melissa's legacy; in a different way, one that doesn't blur their differences.
Scully herself points that out in Existence:
Reyes: You're looking at me like.... I don't know, I probably sound like a goof.
Scully: No, no, it's not that. Um, I was thinking that you reminded me of someone that I was close to. My sister.
Reyes: You're not close to her still?
Scully: Uh, she was killed. About five years ago, in my home. It was a terrible time.
Be that as it may, I wish she had been invited to the baby shower. I know why she wasn't-- Scully and Monica had had a slight acquaintance at that point; and Maggie didn't know her at all (and quite clearly invited the guests)-- but it would have been touching.
So, there you go!
#asks#anon#maybe-its-beyond-words#Monica Reyes#Melissa Scully#Scully#thanks for droppin in~#I'M SO GLAD TO BE DONE THE SCULLY FAMILY SERIES#and what an apt observation on Melissa and Monica#need to dig around there more in future#but two M names that end in i-a? uh huh

I always love seeing your other art and ocs in different situations than normal. But I'm still down bad for your characters and want to see them all eat.
I’d like to draw more foodplay/stuffing/cannibalism stuff too, but I’ve been a bit low on inspiration for it lately 🫠 I feel like I mostly want to stuff my friends’ OCs instead of my own, but maybe chatting about my characters on here more could give me ideas!
(Though I will note that I would not consider the works I post to idolkilling to be my “other” art—it’s my main art! Belly kink stuff is, rather, what reflects “different situations than normal” in my works, since while I enjoy it and indulge for fun, my OCs aren’t belly-focused characters or anything)
#just added the small text to be clear ab my works and such so people know what to expect!!#no offense taken at anon!!#either way musing—#I’ve grown to be pretty particular about dividing my content by theme/subject matter though so although I’ve been drawing belly stuff#I haven’t been posting it since I wanna make a new blog for it TT and I’m pretty particular about how I wanna set up shop#that said I’ve been using this blog as a throwaway acc of sorts lately so maybe I can post stuff in response to asks xD#and then just upload it again on my new blog properly later#I mostly just don’t want to bring traffic here for belly kink art when I don’t intend to use this specific blog that way in the future#but I could always turn off rbs!!#asks

I'm sorry but the post breaking down the Arya-Jeyne-North angle makes no sense. The Boltons are claiming Winterfell through the marriage to Arya aka Jeyne who is considered the Lady of Winterfell by her own birthright. They're not trying to claim Winterfell was given to them by the crown or no longer belongs to the Starks. Ramsay didn't even want to get married at Winterfell when Roose made the call to move the wedding location from Barrowton. He's claiming himself Lord of Winterfell the same way he claimed himself Lord of Hornwood through the forced marriage to Lady Donella and even Lady Dustin says him keeping his title is dependent on how he treats his wife. He needs the marriages to claim those titles, not the other way around. At no point in Dance is Jeyne ever considered Lady Bolton, she's always called Lady Arya. That's like arguing Sansa's marriage to Tyrion means the claim to Winterfell comes from Tyrion, not Sansa.
You can argue that Jeyne and Ramsay's marriage is invalid because both got married under false pretenses as the bride was pretending to be someone else, but that wouldn't negate Arya's position as Lady of Winterfell if she intends to claim the title. I think it's intentional on GRRM's part to make the question of Stark succession jumbled enough that all five of them can technically stake their claim whether through birth order, sex, legitimized degrees, might makes right and the power behind them, or simply having the claim bestowed on them before the others make themselves known.
Buckle up, it’s a long one.
I am going to go on a limb here and presume you didn’t read the whole post, did you? I literally said it a million and one times that Arya’s claim comes from her being a Stark. That is the entire point of my post.
The north believing that Jeyne is Arya (“Lady Aryq”) doesn’t make Arya Jeyne or the Lady of Winterfell by proxy. Y’all are literally running around in circles here, nothing makes sense. At one point you are claiming that Ramsay is claiming his authority through Arya because she already is the lady of Winterfell and on the other hand you’re saying that bringing Arya to the north and marrying her to Ramsay made her the Lady of Winterfell in the eyes of the Northern Lords and the readers. Make it make sense. Anyway, Lady is a title granted to all noblewomen of higher houses, a lot like how Miss/Mister worked in the 1800s to now (sort of). Arya would be Lady Arya of House Stark regardless of whether she is the heir to House Stark or not. The Lady Stark or the Lady of Winterfell will only be Catelyn Stark as it is a social position granted to the wife of the head of the House. If she had a sister-in-law, say Benjen didn’t go to the nights watch and got married, that woman would also be Lady Stark (or Lady her-maiden-name) but she would not be the Lady of Winterfell, are you getting me? The people here could be referring to Arya as ‘Lady’ because she’s a highborn girl and comes from the most noble house of the north. That makes her one of the people with the highest social standing; which I feel warrants the use of the word Lady, not to be confused with the feudal position.
I know you’re trying to play the whole Arya is the last of Starks and that is why she is the Lady of Winterfell and that is from where the Boltons are legitimising their claim to the north. But Arya is not the last of the Starks. She still has an older sister (that they know is alive when they decided on the marriage) and two brothers whose claim is superior to hers no matter how you argue. On top of that, the girl that is actually married to Ramsay is not even Arya. Arya is in Braavos training with the faceless men. Regardless, never once throughout the books, is she called the head of house stark or lady stark or the lady of Winterfell and have that be given as a reason as to why the North should fight for her. She is ‘Ned’s precious little girl’ and that is enough. Literally pulled Lady of Winterfell out of your ass.
“They’re not trying to claim the north was given to them by the crown or no longer belonging to the starks” is an insane statement to make when the royal decree is literally the only leg they have to stand on, and that they are now the unequivocal lords of Winterfell is literally exactly what they’re claiming. Bruh. Bobby B winning the crown by conquest is still valid but the Baratheons being distant cousins of the Targaryens helped. The Boltons need Stark blood to strengthen their claim not create a claim from a non-existent one, which is why they married “Arya” and which is also exactly why just any girl, and not Arya herself, worked. It is all for show.
Okay, scratch all of that. Let me make it simple. The Bolton’s claim to the north literally comes from being granted the north by royal decree. Marrying “Arya Stark” just gives the loyal northerners less reason to fight against Bolton rulership. So the Bolton derive their authority by literally being given the North by the crown after killing Robb Stark and hope to retain that claim in front of the northern lords by seemingly marrying “Arya Stark”. The former is legally and politically important. The latter is socially important. If the North wasn’t actually granted to the Boltons, Ramsay marrying Arya wouldn’t have done jack to their claim, sorry. Which leads me to the latter, having a political marriage between the Boltons and the Starks reduces the chances of a revolt by the “more loyal” northern lords. “Even Lady Dustin says him keeping his title depends on how he treats his wife”. Yes, so as to not anger the northern lords. If his claim was from the ladyship of his wife, then it wouldn’t have depended on how he treated her. Eg. Lady Hornwood. How are you proving my own point here.
Ramsay doesn’t derive his authority from his wife who is the Lady of Winterfell. He doesn’t even derive it from his wife. He married a “Stark” because it merely quells the rumbling of a revolt and makes the Boltons more palpatable as Wardens of the North. Moreover, if they were deriving the claim from Arya then Ramsay would be the Lord of Winterfell but he’s not, Roose is. If the Boltons really wanted to lay a claim to the north by marrying Arya, then they would have torn apart heaven and earth to find the real one and married the her, and that too to Roose, not Ramsay. But they can’t, because she inherently doesn’t hold that power. This also doesn’t mean that she is less of a Stark so don’t think I am trying to say that.
Do you think if hypothetically Lord Manderly married his son to Arya, would that automatically make him the liege lord of the north? Does marrying Lysa to Jon Arryn make Jon Arryn’s father the ruling lord of the Riverlands? Does it even make Jon the ruling lord of the riverlands? Even if Hoster and Edmure were dead, neither Jon Arryn nor his father would have no claim to the Riverlands. Where is this logic even coming from? It’s clearly not in universe. Your argument about Lady Hornwood holds no water because there was no royal decree that proclaimed him as the Lord of Hornwood. If there was, he wouldn’t need to marry Lady Hornwood herself, even any of her daughters to appease her subjects because her subjects are not noble houses with armies of their own. Hornwood is not the entirety of the North. The North is half the continent and therefore holds much more political sway. Hornwood is a small House. How are you even drawing parallels here? The Boltons won’t just hand wave away the royal fucking decree for no good reason especially when they stabbed and betrayed their own King for it. What made you even think of this???
Lastly, this is not GRRM trying to muddle the Stark succession. This is GRRM trying to show the reader that sometimes people with less social standing and power are abused simply because those higher than them can get away with it. He means to say that this is something that will not happen to someone from a bigger House. This was to highlight the inherently lopsided, power-imbalanced, oppressive system that is cruel to those it deems weak.
#that Arya is the Lady of Winterfell is literally a headcanon#where did it even fucking come from?#George please release twow people are starved for content#asoiaf#Jeyne Poole#the jeyne poole arya debate#also I thought the lady of Winterfell was for the future#when she comes back home? she already is the lady of Winterfell? wow#y’all work fast#when did that happen? after Ned died? or cat and Robb?#because then clearly it will go to Arya no because Sansa simply doesn’t exist in our minds#ostrich syndrome#I’m tired of this#Bolton succession I guess#edit: to anon I apologise I think I was overly rude maybe you meant well

Are Mari and hero dating in the catholic school au or do they not know each other?
they're neither! they're best friends teetering on dating, but aren't officially an item. they knew each other from high school (went to the same catholic school as sunny, kel, aubrey and basil do now) and shared a few honors/AP classes together. they found out they went to the same college through random coincidence and grew closer there!
i'd imagine that since hero and mari weren't extremely close buddies growing up, there was less of a reason for them to hang out outside of school. they were both super busy with academics and religion and mari's dad wouldn't let her hang out with any boys anyway. gotta love that good ol' conservative separation of the sexes (totally not speaking from my own experience here)
in college, they're content with being friends, even though both are pining for each other pretty non-discretely tbh. like they're platonic enough but also lowkey flirty and their college friends all think something going on here. since their relationship started later in their lives than it does in canon, i like to think that both are almost too self-aware at this stage in life where they don't want to risk their stroke-of-fate friendship
anywayyyy here's some catholic school au heromari, bc holy shit? i haven't drawn them at ALL????
they're kinda just college interpretations of the characters, not directly connected to catholic school au, since the catholic school aspect of this au doesn't regularly relate to them anymore. but this is how i imagine they'd look and act
(also, bc hero and mari didn't hang out outside of school during their high school years, neither of them have properly met the others' sibling, making sunny and kel's meeting more coincidental too. not like hero or mari could ever inform kel or sunny about their friend's sibling prior to meeting; they're in college lol, why would they care)
#i might draw them now and again but they're not very important in this au unfortunately#due to their age ... they can't really interact with the au as easily jhfdfjgd#i actually had a stupid comic idea in my head about heromari in this au (kinda) but i never got to drawing it#maybe i will in the future ... anyway thanks for asking anon!#heromari omori#omori au#becki draws stuff n stuff#asks for becki#omori#hero omori#mari omori#fan art
