Trying to get used to CSP and my new drawing tablet. Was just supposed to be a warmup, but that's always a lie I tell myself -wheezes-

Oh, to be a lil pretty fairy in a magical secret forest. Taking a lil nap on a lil tree with twisted, wild branches. Just peacefully dreaming of what your next lil foraged meal will be. Perhaps you’ll catch a lil swim in the river, or pull a lil prank on some humans tomorrow. But right now? You’re gonna catch a lil sleep.

no thoughts, head empty except…

adoptive parents au with you and nanami where you’ve got little yuuji, nobara, and megumi sandwiched between you and nanami during a particular bad thunderstorm.

first couple months out of the orphanage is difficult. even more so with the loud noises so it was decided you were having an impromptu sleepover. yuuji is stretched over nanami’s chest,nobara leaning on his shoulder, legs stretched toward you, and megumi next to her curled into your side.

So this au is basically about how Akito can summon The Fox Devil from Chainsaw Man, or at least, something similar to it.

Kon! au

It all started out as a innocent trip to see some distant family.

Akito was just a small boy and Mari was just a baby. Their parents had wanted to get away from the city for a while, so they planned a trip to the countryside to visit some relatives.

When they arrived, Akito's relatives immediately usured his parents inside so they could chat about adult things.

So being the mature boy he was, Akito promised his parents that he could look after Mari while they and the other adults talked.

This leaves both Akito and Mari alone with their older cousins who start asking Akito to come play with them in the nearby woods.

Akito of course declines at first. Not only was he was watching Mari, but those woods made him nervous...

Unfortunately, his cousins wouldn't take no as an answer, and after some more pushing from his cousins, Akito finally agrees.

With a sleepy Mari cradled in his arms, Akito follows his older cousins into the woods.

The group of children eventually stops in front an old shrine where Akito's oldest cousin tells Akito to head on in as he and the others were getting a few things.

This turns out to be a big mistake as Akito's cousins showed their true colors and proceeded to lock the young boy in the shrine.

"T-this isn't funny! Open the door!" Akito hits the door with his fist, begging for his cousins to open the door, but all they did was laugh and the young boy hears them start walking away, leaving him and Mari locked up.

Akito felt like he was going to cry. He should've stayed at the house like his parents asked him too.

A pudgy little hand pats his wet cheek, making Akito glance down. Mari was staring up at him from his arms and looked very much like she was going to cry as well.

"N-no! Don't cry Mari!" Akito didn't know what to do! His cousins had his bag that had Mari's toys and blanket in it, so he had nothing for Mari to play with!

Wait... There was one thing he could do that'll make Mari smile!

"K-Kon!" Akito knew Mari like when he did a fox hand sign, so he tried it. "Kon, Mari! Kon!"

It does the trick. Mari giggles, and started to babbling happily. It was almost she was saying kon as well.

Akito sighs as he leans back against the locked door behind him. "I really hope mom and dad find us soon..."

As the young boy dozes off, he never notices multiple glowing red eyes watching him and Mari from the darkness...

Akito slowly wakes up to the sound of Mari giggling. "'On! 'On!"

Why was she trying to say Kon? Akito wakes up with a yawn. "Mari? What-" Akito freezes, a cry of terror erupts from his mouth as he saw what was before him and Mari.

He and Mari weren't in the shrine anymore. They were somewhere else, and they weren't alone.

What looked looked like a fox was sitting in front of them. A massive fox with multiple glowing red eyes scattered across it's face, and nine long, luscious tails swaying behind it.

Akito throws himself over Mari, curling around his baby sister protectively. "Please don't eat us!"

The fox just tilts it's head curiously, and all of sudden, a calm female voice fills the room. "I will not eat you little one."

Akito slowly looks up, tears streaming down his face as he did. "Y-you won't?"

The fox shifts her massive body around till she was face to face with the young boy. "You have my word."

Despite knowing full well that he shouldn't trust the creature in front of him, Akito gives the fox a weak smile. "Okay... I-I believe you."

She makes an odd huffing sound that sounded suspiciously like a laugh. "I am pleased that you are no longer upset little one."

Apparently Mari had enough of sitting in her brothers protective embrace, so with a few wiggles, the baby escapes Akito's arms and crawls over to the fox's massive snout, hugging it with a happy giggle.

The fox immediately stills, making Akito start fearing for his and Mari's life again, but the fox just melts to the floor with a pleased rumble as she let Mari continued hugging her snout.

Soon Akito comes over to join his baby sister, lightly petting the massive fox's fur in awe, murmuring a quiet, "So pretty..."

The massive fox Akito and Mari were petting was actually a Kitsune. One that had been originally living in the shrine Akito and Mari were locked into. She had no name, as it was lost to time itself, and she never really cared to reclaim it.

She never really cared much about humans, as they weren't worth wasting her time on, but when she saw these two tiny humans, these tiny kits, she knew they were special. They were hers. Her kits.

But regardless of wanting nothing more to keep these human kits all to herself, she reluctantly helps the siblings get back to their parents as she knew she couldn't raise these human kits like they were actual Kitsune kits.

But that didn't mean she couldn't look after them. Protect them if need be. All Akito or Mari needed to do was to make a silly little fox hand sign, call out the word "Kon", and she'll be there to assist them! No matter the cost...

For many of years I had this tradition of drawing Wirt and the beast once a year to see how much I have improved, then depression hit in 2023 and couldn't continue, but it left so really amazing art in the process

[bacchuschucklefuck]

couldnt draw my thang for mid-autumn so treated myself to a calne redesign instead

[egophiliac]

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

Fanfiction in the late 2000s-early 2010s was wild bc you'd find a beautifully written story with the most compelling heart-wrenching plot you've ever seen and the author's note would be like:
