#midoris eyes are so fun to draw

[literallydavidblib]

just fucking around with art makes it so much easier to finish... hes watching something

[cuteniarose]

Each time I think I’ve finally become normal about This Fucking Family my brain comes up with shit like “Hey have you noticed how much Liba looks like young Sunat?” and now I want to throw up

[goblin-the-clown]

pokes you. may i hear about katia? :333

AHHH YAY!! I'm so glad you asked about her she's my fav :D

Yapping under the cut

These are all the drawings I have of her (some of them are really old and I might change her design a bit if I ever draw her again but whatever)

I don't have a name for the story all my OC's are from but it's set in England some time in the 80s in an alternate universe with these Gods. Katia is one of the three god's (this is her human form, her God form is invisible to the human eye but she can transform into all kinds of weird creatures)

So there are three gods, the creator, the mother and the destroyer. Katia is the third God (the destroyer) and her job is to destroy the earth when the time comes. She was also given the power of chaos so if anything ever goes drastically downhill on earth she can do a kinda Noah's arch type situation and they can start again. However, since she's the youngest God, she's incredibly immature and gets bored of barely being able to use her powers very quickly. So what does she do? She goes down to earth as a human and decides to mess with a bunch of people, ruining their lives for fun.

So how the human forms work is that a human is sacrificed to become the vessel for a God (this happened like ages ago in ancient times). So basically she's puppeteering the dead body of some random girl from ancient times around. In her God form, her main state is invisible to humans but she can transform into all kinds of eldritch monsters and beings, she just can't transform into anything that lives on earth unless she's using a dead vessel. So she could become a deer or something if she wanted to.

As for the other God's, I won't go into too much detail about them because this is about Katia, but they're called Filippa and Xanthi. Filippa is the creator and has been in a coma like state since she first created the earth and Xanthi is the mother who is supposed to take care of the earth but he treats it more like entertainment and lets Katia do whatever she wants. They're all sisters and Filippa created Xanthi and Katia.

Anyway, there are two main ways she tortures humans. 1. She shows them weird god stuff that humans can't usually see and watches as they go insane 2. She recruits desperate, vulnerable people into a life of addiction, crime and violence and basically ruins their lives. All the other main characters are her victims, I'll give a very brief summary of them.

Milly was roommates with Katia for a while and developed a very unhealthy, one sided crush on her (something something she was a closeted lesbian and Katia was the first girl she'd ever been super close with). I don't have a lot about Alfie but he's punk and he has a very strong gambling addiction, him and Milly became roommates after Milly moved out. Yuto is the main character, he's a middle aged man who's ten year old daughter was murdered some time ago and he's been feeling lost ever since, when he met Katia he decided she was super cool and started acting and dressing like her. Jordan is a homeless lesbian who actually wasn't recruited into an unhealthy lifestyle by Katia but rather Yuto, her and Milly are yuri. Anyway yeah there are other characters as well but they're not directly related to Katia so I'll leave them out.

Personality wise, Katia is very energetic and outgoing, thus why a lot of people are drawn to her and tend to trust her. She speaks and dresses in a very eccentric way and she is very much inspired by Midori from yttd because of course I have to include her in some way. Besides torturing random people, her hobbies include: Making her own clothes, spending an insane amount of time doing her hair and makeup, listening to music, playing drums, doodling and beating little kids in arcade games. She is very silly and evil i love her <333

Also! Here's a very short story I wrote with my OC's (featuring Katia) a few days ago. It's the only thing I've written for them so far but I do plan on writing more, I'm just mainly caught up with doing stuff for my danganronpa rewrite atm.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this yap session lol

[enquire]

Kindle

Well here we have it. One last design to complete the class. Rounding things off with Kakeru.

Notes this time:

Kindle is a kirin and bull hybrid. He doesn't have a cutie mark because of this.

I originally was going to make him a bull, but I couldn't resist giving him some kirin traits-it fits his courtroom persona too well! So he does have the ability to produce flames, if only a little. It's localized mainly to his horns and eyes. His hooves probably get a bit hot as well, but not enough to set fires or cause damage.

He has a little bit of plating on his back in little bursts.

I tried to get as many flame motifs in here as I could haha

Ramblings below the cut

A Canterlot courtroom isn't exactly the place you'd expect to see somepony like Kindle. But despite the countless uppercrust unicorns he's surprised, he's still made a name for himself as a lawyer.

His spirit is matched by his fire, and he's made it his goal in life to defend those who need it most. Because of this, he's gained a lot of nicknames in legal circles. Such as the "Blazing Bull" (or "Raging Bull" by his less gracious opponents)

However, despite him having managed to make several connections while working in Canterlot, such as the stern Saber Frost, or the insightful Stardust siblings, it's not a place he'd call home.

For outside of the courtroom, Kindle struggles to keep and hold friendships and communicate with others. The fast pace of the city, and the often shallow or elitist nature of some of its residents, doesn't mesh well with Kindle's nature, or his being a fairly nervous country-pony whenever he's not practicing law.

After all, Kindle's heart lies in his hometown. The place he grew up, and where his family, including his younger sister, live. It's for them that he became a lawyer in the first place, even if it takes him far away more frequently than he'd like.

He's met many ponies in the course of his travels, but only two have ever really stayed by his side beyond the friends and family back home. Mourning Dove, and Mercy Suture. Both of whom had similar experiences, traveling all over Equestria for their talents while always keeping home in mind.

The quieter, calmer pace of their conversations made it simpler for Kindle to be himself without worry. And the three of them are regular penpals, who often meet up to see each other across their travels. Whenever Kindle finds himself in a new town, he always looks for local gems to grab a bite with his friends. Donut shops and diners are his favorites.

Whew. The set is finally complete... Somehow, Kakeru seems like a perfect final pony here. If you're curious, Midori would also be a cow-kirin hybrid.

I've made 18 of these designs so far. Though they're definitely imperfect, especially some of the earlier ones, I've had a great time working on this silly little project. It's been really good just making art for the fun, and getting better at not worrying about how good the pieces are or how niche it is haha.

I'm definitely not done with this AU of course! Now that I have names and designs down for everyone, there's definitely some more things I'd like to draw, and moments I'd like to visit for this. What can I say? I've liked ponies ever since I was little, and got drawn right back in this past year.

Maybe if I'm feeling really brave I'll share some written stuff? It's a bit intimidating going from what I usually post to something as silly and niche as an mlp crossover AU though I have to admit haha.

I think this is enough rambling for now, but I'll be back. If you're reading this, thanks for sticking around. Especially if you're one of the few whose been following me going through all these haha.

With that, I'm signing off!

[ringmaster-midori]

Hi, everyone! Midori, here: your favorite kitsune ringmaster!

So I was talkin' to this artist named Sol the other day. He said he likes sandwiches. Also, he showed me his drawin' portfolio. Great stuff! Clean and precise line work. Bold, confident lines. Showin' off all o' the little details. Expressive faces. Lotsa fun characters, too.

Then he asked if he could draw me. I was all like, "Draw me like one of your Galtan girls! Ha ha!"

An' then he gave me this funny look. I dunno, maybe he never saw that play that I was referencin', the one about the ship that hit the iceberg an' sank. So I said, "I mean, yes! I would be honored!" So he asked me to tell him some information about myself, took some notes, and went on his way.

So a couple o' days later, he showed me this:

[Drawn by Solifeaulprime @solifeaulprime and posted with permission from the artist]

Oh, my gods! IT'S A DRAWING OF ME! Isn't it beautiful? (Well, yeah, it's me after all!)

But, seriously, look at it! Get a magnifying glass an' zoom in! LOOK AT THE EYES! He managed to capture my eyes perfectly! Look into those eyes! You are falling under my power. Ha ha!

Now look at the tails. All SIX of 'em. That's right, I have six already at age 18, but no big deal. An' look at those big, beautiful ears, too. The fullness. The gentle curves. Yeah, I'm hot!

An' everything's got just the right level of fluffiness! Behold my glorious floof in all of its floofy glory!

An' the look on my face. Looks like I'm up to some mischief. Would I be up to somethin'? Am I a trickster? ...maybe....

Anyhow, thanks again to Sol, if you're readin' this! I do appreciate that you drew me. It really is an honor!

[atlas-of-galaxies]

I'm not sure if you're still doing anything with this but, if you are, could you please tell us about your TMA/YTTD AU? The art was really good and I love the media involved!

ohhh thank you so much! that crossover is still so near and dear to my heart, I'm so glad people enjoyed my self-indulgence.

I've talked about my reasoning in the past, as well as discussion of what other characters might fit what in my tma entities tag, so definitely take a look at that if you haven't already!

I'm seeing now that i never talked about my reasoning for Kanna, Q-taro, and Mishima, so if I may indulge myself further ...

Kanna as the Lonely

a bit of an obvious one - she's defined from the moment we meet her by her loss and the absence of her sister. her position in the group as a whole is also weakened by her isolation with Shin - even if it seems from the outside he's manipulating her, that separation makes it a little hard for Sara to trust her at times ...

she's absolutely someone who's strengthened by her bond with others tho, as we see in 3-1 when she actually gets to work with everyone. it's just up to us whether she gets there or not.

Q-taro as the Buried

ohhh I'm so sorry but I'm so proud of this one. first of all - he literally dies in a coffin. what I really enjoy about this assignment is the whole idea of being trapped tho.

Q-taro constantly feels trapped in his life, and takes big risks to get himself out of those situations - he felt trapped in the hospital, and he was so desperate to get out of the Death Game that he stabs everyone else in the back to do it.

Mishima as the Eye

this is definitely moreso related to his AI (haha. get it.), considering he gets more of an omniscient view of the Death Game proceedings.

he's also a bit of a narrative sacrifice, allowing the other participants to learn about the inner workings of the Death Game ... idk. this one's a bit abstract but I think it fits, especially considering that his death only happens because of a lack of prior knowledge.

and uhhh how about dummies for a bonus round!

Ranmaru as the Corruption - he's sooo toxic it's not even funny. maybe I'll still draw this someday, I have a fun composition in mind.

Mai as the Hunt - she's the one who's most forward about the game Midori puts them all up to. she actually betrays Q-taro for her own survival, though he's far too kind to let that be the end for her.

Hinako as the Stranger - do I have to explain her. do I have to

Hayasaka as the Buried - guy's stuck in a dead-end job doing morally questionable work for an all-powerful company ... guy's as buried as it gets.

Kurumada - I used to have him as the Flesh for kinda superficial reasons but since his minisode I feel like he may also be Hunt tbh ... it's all about the "strong eat weak" mindset, after all.

Anzu - honestlyyy I have the weakest vision for her. I'm not really. a fan. of her minisode so I'm not taking much inspiration from it. I enjoy the Vast tho for her just cuz that's always a fun idea with performers and such. you could always go Stranger for clowns but I feel like that doesn't fit her personality much

[reminiscentrainclouds]

16, 13, 3

YAYY more asks! Thank you, anon! :]

16 : when did you get into YTTD?

Last year! In January! So I've been here about a year at this point. A friend recommended I check it out, and even though I didn't think it sounded like my kind of thing at all when I heard about it, I got invested really quickly. My interest in the game only grows stronger, for better or for worse.

13 : which character would you get along the most with?

Maybe Nao? We're both art students and a bit similar in personality in some ways so we have things in common. Unfortunately though, really, I don't think I'd get along super well with anybody. I probably wouldn't participate much in discussions and whatnot. I'd always be super out of the way because of anxiety and I'd always be off trying to figure things out on my own. I would probably end up either seeming suspicious or generally uninteresting or something.

3 : which of the characters has your favorite design?

I've gotta say Maple, I think. She's very fun to draw and very pretty. I also really like Midori's design because he's ALSO very fun to draw. Crazy eyes + green hair + suit + scarf is a great combo.

[nothbee]

First thing I do when I finish Yttd is turn to my drawing board and go I Gotta make an au.

Because I want to explore these characters more… but so much of whats interesting comes from the horrific circumstances! So its not as fun finding one where theres just never been a death game. I need to figure out how to traumatize them in new different ways where I can explore their dynamics. < Midori voice

Im rambling so ill put a readmore :P

But anyway. Thinking of a sorta detective au where the death game hasn’t happened yet but all the Asunaro stuff is still pressing and in the works. And what kickstarts it is Sara and Joe almost getting kidnapped and Joe getting really badly injured, and Sara is panicking on how she’ll get Joe somewhere in time when Keiji shows up to help take him to the hospital?

Sara is grateful for the help, Keiji dips before he has to actually go inside but not before Sara gets a name and some vague leads on what happened. And now We all know Sara, shes a stubborn girl, her best friend is unconscious and injured and its weighing horribly on her heart. So she starts doing everything she can to investigate what happened- trying to dig into places she really shouldn’t

Later, she runs into Keiji again and sorta verbally corners him. Keiji relents and decides to help Sara out with this ‘investigation’. Mostly because he can tell Sara will do it anyway with or without his help and he’d like to keep an eye on her.

And thats basically my Hook. Detective duo Keiji and Sara! Digging into all the shell companies Asunaro has left behind. Later on I want Sou to get dragged into the like ‘main investigative team’ because it adds drama. And sou is a very very good lead they just have to figure out how to get him to talk/hes helpful in ways they dont know how he manages so they keep him around even though he sucks

Im not ignoring all the other characters im just still figuring out what they’re doing. I think I’m adjusting things so they’re just where they are pre-death game? Maybe with a few more nefarious ties so they all have reason to interact? I was thinking with Alice that maybe he evaded jail by getting involved with asunaro and hes just dropped off the map (Not that I think hes malicious or wants to evade jail— i just think hes VERY good at getting in over his head.)

I also don’t know how to handle hinako (Still can’t tell if pink hair is a really small young adult or a middle schooler) so I was gonna say fuck it and make them twins or alter egos or something.

So far thats all :-) if you read all that and have any thoughts… I’d love to hear it!!!! o7

Original Ask Game: tl;dr ask box director's commentary

Part One | Two | Three | Four | Five

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Happy Valentine's Day I've been given carte blanche and I'm making that everyone else's problem.

Probably a shorter one but I was thinking about it this morning: one of the major elements in Hiraeth is Link's (in this case, Warriors's/Captain's) feelings of homesickness for a past life's home (Sky's). This is a thing that comes up in the Kintsugi AU (I've decided it's an AU at this point since it's diverging from LU canon a lot), that any of the Heroes of Courage have access to vague memories of their past incarnations given the right stimulus. In the case of Hiraeth, it's Warriors meeting Sky's parents on Skyloft early on in his adventure. Sky's memories, buried thousands of years deep, clawed out of the abyss because "holy shit those are my parents LET ME HUG THEM"

(Incidentally, in the SkSw novelization I'll eventually write if other ideas stop ganking me, Sky's parents are still alive during his adventure. Raven is extremely not okay with any of it.)

The same concept is also a factor in Shards of the Hero. It pops up a couple times as just Bad Vibes:

“Majora’s Mask,” [Zelda] whispered. The name sent lightning down Link’s spine, his breath caught short, his lungs filling with ice. Darkness—someplace dark and wet, like a culvert—flashed in his mind’s eye. His hand twitched for his sword. “Link?” Zelda asked. “Do you know that name?” Link shook his head. “I don’t . . . but I think the Hero’s spirit does.” He leaned forward to see Midori on Zelda’s other side. The boy wore a tight expression, but he shook his head as well. The name was unfamiliar to both of them—but not to their shared spirit.

What Link "remembered" was:

Majora uses this little trick for his own purposes :'D Because if the current incarnation of the Hero has their past live's memories, the current incarnation knows where that damn god is hiding.

Restless nights full of dreams and nightmares, of people and places that Midori didn't know but felt he should. A Sword calling him. The mask spoke occasionally only to comment to itself on the dreams, as if analyzing them for something. Searching for someone. [...] Although the mask mostly kept to itself in the years since his fall into the Depths, Midori had felt it subtly and perpetually drawing on the pool of magic deep in his core. He couldn't remove the mask no matter how hard he tried—and sometimes he wondered if he really wanted to—but he knew the mask was calling on his magic against his will, weaving it around the memories its deep roots unearthed.

Majora was looking for the location of the Fierce Deity Mask, so he could play with his old friend again :) :) :)

(Joke's on Majora, it was the Zonai Sage, Jupita, who hid the mask—The Anchors of Time Recovery Team intentionally hid the location from Warriors, knowing Majora would pull this shit in the future.)

Failing that, Majora found some really fun memories from the Hero's previous incarnation that would be fun to play with. Things like the Hero and his baby sister, the Goron and Zora Champions, his father, the Princess—

Oh, those memories all hurt? All the more fun for Majora :)

So locations tied to those memories became the spots where Majora, using the time magic he stole from Midori, ripped open holes between the timelines :D Specifically, they're in the locations of memories 4, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, on the peak of Mt. Lanayru, near Link's family home in Castle Town, and an interrupted rift in Korok Forest.

(What went down on the peak of Mt. Lanayru? So I actually borrowed a lot from The Zed of Age's novelization of BotW for Link's history, and chapter fifty-six is what went down :'D This is also kind of why Midori is a bit standoffish with Zelda, because the last memories Link had of her were....y'know, kind of rough. Midori doesn't remember things clearly, but she got Vibes of rejection and wanting to respect boundaries)

[surreal-duck]

hope i’m not just some guy to you but also that one deranged mdyz enthusiast

extra:

[kipperos]

everyone shut the fuck up and watch eizouken

[cuteniarose]

To undo the headache, fine, fine, I'm cheating, you get two asks! MoM!

Now you’re talking!! Except.. hm, how about we make it more fun? New rule: I am only allowed to put in each character once, because otherwise… we’d just get stuck in an endless repeat of Suiren and Summiya, wouldn’t we?

*pulls up OC list because I just woke up and brain isn’t braining rn*

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) – Do I even have to say it? Suiren. Of course it’s Suiren. Who else would it be? Who else could POSSIBLY measure up to how much this feral wet cat of a traumatised lesbian means to me?? Nobody, absolutely nobody, nobody can compare , it’s not even a competition at this point. She genuinely has lived in my head rent free for almost 6 years now, thinking about her has got me through some hard shit, I draw her so much I could do it with my eyes closed… truly, she is the most important girl in the world and I love her beyond words <3

scrunkly (my "baby", character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) – Another obvious answer, but Ehuang. Come onl I literally call her Sweet Baby Ehuang, who else could I have picked? Specifically in that piece where she’s wrapped in The Blanket held by her mama. She’s the sweetest, most adorable little baby to have ever existed and I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since we created her. But also, honourable mention goes to Midori and Emran (yes, specifically him, not Aiza. Or at least not Lady Aiza, perhaps Acolyte Aiza triggers the same feelings, I’ll have to see if I ever draw her), because little Midori is as adorable as her daughter and Emran is who makes me think “scrunkly” whenever I look at him, he’s the So Shaped one <3 And.. my original Malina art remains my utmost favourite way I’ve ever drawn a face, there’s more character packed in there than in most of my other pieces combined, so perhaps she counts here too? Oh! Oh!! And Kumisai!!! I still love the way I drew her, very cute, very scrunkly 💚💚

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) – The Brothel Gang!! All of them at once, yes. They deserve so much more attention and love (and material for me to get off to 🤭) and like.. the only downside to having so many OCs is that there simply isn’t enough time to pay due attention to them all 😔 And just so we’re clear, Mekhali is very much included in this, because somehow, even though they’re the one who started this OC branch, they’ve become even less relevant than the girls :’) More brothel shenanigans content with the six of them and Mekhali and baby Kumisai and adorably awkward Summiya when???

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won't shut up about it for a week) – LIU AND NUYING AND AFARIN. THE DEAD MOM CLUB. YES YES I GET IT SUNAT IS UNIQUELY FASCINATING AND MAKES US CHEW ON DRYWALL BUT WHERE’S THE LOVE FOR THE REST OF THEM?? JUST BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PROVIDE EMOTIONAL REUNION SHENANIGANS DOESN’T MAKE THEM ANY LESS IMPORTANT, YOU HEAR ME??? (but also, honourable mentions of course go to their respective husbands, Bingwen and Cadeo and Siamak, since I’m weak for good fathers in media, it’s spiritually healing. And Cadeo WILL provide emotional reunion shenanigans at some point even if it kills me!! [And.. Ming-Hua was only 55 when Ehuang was born. Who’s to say that Cadeo can’t be around to meet his great granddaughter, the one named after the same legend as his late wife?? I’m making myself emotional thinking about this, fuck 😭]. As for the really, REALLY obscure honourable mentions, Shezan’s siblings. I’m extremely curious about them and what their lives ended up as.)

poor little meow meow ("problematic"/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) – HAYAAAAA. I know I’m the one who created her and made her as awful as she is, but… once upon a time she was just a fourteen year old girl who loved her Ma very much and had her entire world ripped away from her in a matter of weeks, with no one left to help her raise her little brother or to work so she can keep going to school and meeting with her friends or to simply comfort her as she deals with the biggest loss a child can experience 😭😭😭 Her past and what shaped her and how she became what she is and the way her future plays out makes me genuinely, genuinely insane, and I need to get back to my fic about her one of these days. But given that she is, in fact, a terrible person who, at least in the main verse, abused her nieces for sixteen years.. she is very much “problematic” and controversial 😅

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) – Jia ☠️ She gave me whumperflies once and I was never normal about her again, thanks Kat. She didn’t have to suffer the way she did, but my love for causing characters pain took over and I’m very, very obsessed with her fate and the aftermath and the eventual reunion with Aiza. I even drew her with flogging scars once, I am truly beyond saving when it comes to her. But also Summiya, because somehow my verdict of “a good dicking would fix her” turned into the most visceral and insanity inducing exploration of a character’s breakdown and fall from grace than I have ever seen before or since, and I LOVE shattering that porcelain doll and watching her struggle to put the pieces back together, knowing she will never again be able to hide the cracks >:)

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) – Jusamah and Himman. No other commentary necessary, I believe (but fun fact: when I answered this for MC some years ago I put Suleiman and Ibrahim in this same category, and given that they’re essentially the same characters as the previously mentioned ones in a different font… the years pass, the fandom changes, and yet Nia’s hatred of assholes ruining the lives of every woman they know stays the same 😂). Oh, and Daigo. He can rot 😊

Christmas date lines - StarPro (CosPro, RhythLin, NewDi+teachers)

Finally got around to this🙄 As per usual, I'm not a native speaker, so take my translations with a grain of salt, but I added screenshots so, if I made a mistake, the original text is still here. Also I don't have the screenshots from the lines when they were said in the event itself, so the original BGs and outfits they wore aren't shown here. :(

fine

Eichi: Aren't the decorative lights visible on the sea beautiful? Although I wanted to show it to you no matter what… Fufu. It's no match for your smile.

Wataru: Open your eyes, please. Everything in this nightscape is my present to you. After this, let's try to make it snow, too. This will surely become an unforgettable night☆

Tori: The nightscape is beautiful, right? I bet you're glad that I brought you along. Fufu, Seeing your pleased face makes me feel happy, too♪

Yuzuru: From now on, as well, I will stay with you…, this dreamlike day made me believe this. I will make every day become special like today, so, please, let me be at your service.

Trickstar

Hokuto: … Isn't the view wonderful? I was a bit worried, but I'm happy you liked it. Looks like it was a good Christmas present.

Subaru: It looks like the light particles are gathering, it's super sparkly and pretty… Thanks for coming here with me today. This has become the best memory

Makoto: Ahaha… to think that I'm watching the tree while holding hands with you, I'm embarrassed and my heart is pounding, but I think I'm really happy… Ehehe, I am happy…♪

Mao: Today was really fun… Although saying bye feels lonely, I'm looking forward to a day we can spend like today, so… go on a date with me again♪

RYUSEITAI

Chiaki: Ah~. Um, I'm not really used to stuff like this. … Sorry, I want to say something nice, but my head is so fuzzy that nothing is coming to mind…

Kanata: it's like being in a "sea" of light, right? if i can look at this "scenery" with you, "christmas" may not be bad, either♪

Tetora: It's a pretty tree, right? … Although I'm still immature right now, one day I'll also, like this tree, become a big, shining man, so I want you to wait by my side until then!

Midori: You've chosen to spend this special of a day with me, huh? That made me happy, so I thought to enjoy ourselves in my way, but… how was it?

Shinobu: We've already arrived at your home. … Um- I just want to be together with you for a little while longer. Is that no good, de gozaru…?

ALKALOID

Hiiro: Christmas, was it, it's such a pretty and showy event, huh. I didn't know! I want you to teach me one by one like this. Next year, too, and the one after that, always.

Aira: Heey, don't just look at the tree and look at me properly. … I mean, be aware you're on a special date with me, won't you?

Mayoi: I don't fit in in such a beautiful place, but I wanted to come with you no matter what. Just for now, may I be by your side like this?

Tatsumi: … I'm sorry. I said, "I want us to still be together" and selfishly kept you. That there'd be greed like this inside of me… You are the only one who can draw that out of me.

[strawberry-metal]

Strawberry!! I have a fun challenge for you! :D today, give love to one of your minor ocs! Any kind of love! Anywhere from a picture to a small collection of fun facts!

Ok then, let's go with Setsuka. I have no motivation for drawing or anything right now so just some facts and lore!

It is no secret that Setsuka and Sakura hate eachother and got into magic duels that end up further pissing the council off. (And they were already mad about the timeloops Sakura caused.)

Throughout the Death Loops arc, it's a mystery as to who tampered with Sakura's portal and made her get sent into the future. In Rei arc, it's revealed it was Setsuka who did it out of jealousy to get rid of the competition.

Sakura and Setsuka will never truly be 'friends', but they eventually come to be on more neutral terms with eachother.

This is especially after Setsuka finds out about the rumors being spread about Sakura by her ex are NOT true, and also when Narancia saves her from a near death experience instead of finishing her off in a fight or running away for his own safety. Feeling she owes them a favor, she made two concoctions for them to use in the fight against Fernande. One potion to cause an electric wave, one to cause a poison fog.

Setsuka is master rank and specializes in potions and alchemy.

She's friends with Fernande and makes up with her after the big fight.

She joins the others in the Jade arc against the fight against the council.

She loses her eye to Giglio, Witch of Despair, Council 3rd Seat.

Gay for Midori.

She never personally met Mareike but she fears her.

Bonus fact about Mareike herself! Mareike was originally going to be a council member, but died before it could happen, hence why she's so damn powerful and her name brings fear to many mages.

Fandom: School Babysitters (Gakuen Babysitters) Summary: Kashima is having a bit of an off day so Kamitani decides to cheer the quiet boy up a bit. Ticklish!Kashima

Kashima sighed a bit as he watched the children run around the daycare room. They were having a lot of fun it seemed. Usually, seeing everyone so happy made him happy as well but today...today just seemed like an off day.

Usaida was sleeping in the corner with Midori on his chest. Taka and Kotaru were in their own little world near the bookshelf. Kirin was happily drawing with the twins, babbling to each other.

Everything pointed to this being a good, normal day. But it wasn't. It seemed that his memories wanted to come up and swamp him. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw his mom's pretty smile or heard his dad's boisterous laugh. Knowing that they aren't there anymore, it still hit him hard but he was good at pushing it away.

Just...not right now.

"Hey," A deep voice said next to him. Kashima jumped and blushed as he realized that Kamitani had sat down next to him, and he didn't even notice.

"K-Kamitani! Sorry, I...I didn't notice you."

"Yeah, you were staring off like an idiot."

Kashima chuckled softly at his friend's bluntness, eyes trailing back to Kotaru. His little brother had noticed something was off, but he was dragged off to play with Taka after much reassurance.

"What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing! I'm just tired."

Kamitani's expression didn't change. In fact, it was pretty obvious the older teen didn't believe Ryuuichi at all.

"Just tired?"

"Mhm!"

Kashima winced at Kamitani's sigh, feeling bad for worrying him. Before he could try to reassure his friend, two hard fingers jabbed into his ribs.

"A-Ah! Hey!"

The fingers persisted, digging into their spot before trailing down to his lowest rib. It...It tickled—a lot.

"Kahamitahani!"

The older teen ignored him in favor of digging into Ryuuichi's sides, smirking a bit at the cute giggles that bubbled from the caretaker. Hayato used his nails to trace along Kashima's sides before fluttering over his belly.

"Nahahaha! That-That ihihisn't fahahair!"

"What isn't fair?"

"You! Yohohou're tihihickling me!" Kashima laughed happily, his fingers trying to pry Kamitani's fingers away from his sensitive belly.

"It's not my fault you're ticklish."

The baseball player easily tugged the younger teen into his lap and tested out Ryuuichi's hips, snorting as Kashima threw his head back and cackled loudly. His legs kicked wildly, and he tightened his grip on Kamitani's hands.

"NOHOHO!"

"Oh, I see. Hips are a bad spot?"

"DohohoHOHON'T TEHEHEASE MEEEEEE!"

By now, the little kids all noticed what was happening and surrounded the two older boys, watching curiously.

"What if I poked you here?" Kamitani asked, wiggling his pointer finger into Kashima's belly button.

Kashima yelped before breaking out into adorable childish giggles.

"H-Hahahahayatohoho!"

Kamitani paused for a second, heat blooming onto his cheeks at the breathy giggle of his name. He cleared his throat before huffing, giving Kashima one last tickle along his lower tummy before shoving the teen off his lap and into the fray of little hands.

The kiddos all attacked Ryuuichi with their own little scribbles that didn't really tickle but still made their caretaker giggle at them.

Kashima finally sat up and caught Kamitani's eyes. He gave his friend a thankful look along with a bright sunny grin before gathering the children to read a story.

Kamitani was not blushing, thank you very much, he was NOT.

9, 15, 25, and 26 for the ask meme please!

Any ships?

i rly dont like shipping in yttd i feel like these characters have zero romantic chemistry between them 🥴 feel their overall dynamics are much more fun to explore

the only tension i thoroughly feel is the homoerotism between qkei, but i will never draw them <3 these two are in the hands of bara artists

closest thing i consider being interested in is safalin/miley ?? but i dont think they work out.. they sorta have a 'she can get it' relationship to each other and maybe they had smth for one night, but miley finds safalins whining about her involuntary stepson annoying and safalin is too busy being busy

Opinion on M!dori/Sou Hiyori?

answered here!

Unpopular opinion?

i have sooo manyyyy but i feel like i should be quiet 😶 maybe smth simple, i dont think shin calling himself sou is a girlboss moment or character development, its an intense cry for help of a cornered animal. like him believing to survive this death game is to become the personification of someone he sees as 'strong', who is a straight up scary person where just the thought of him makes him feel physically unwell. dont think thats liberating tbh 🤪

Do you have any headcanons for any characters?

like the thought of midori being so scary to look at is bc hes partially uncanny valley. dont think hes fully doll, but smth is off about his face and eyes and they subtly move in a way thats not quite human 😊
