The Name Picker has chosen Youko, one of the mechanics working on my ship in Starbound.

[The ship hums as Sakura invites Youko to get comfortable on her settee, and offers zir some fragrant tea]

Sakura: Thank you for taking the time to visit, Youko.

Youko mumbles something.

Sakura: You understand that one of my conditions of employment, which Captain Mio fully agreed to, was letting me interview the crew for my journal?

Youko: Yes, yes. very well. Could we get on with this? I have experiments to run.

Are you named after anyone?

No, but my name means 'sun'. When my parents came to collect me and my siblings from the spawning grounds, they found I preferred to be close to the surface of the water, so they gave me my name based on that.

When was the last time you cried?

A few days ago. An experiment went... a little awry and I ended up with grade 2 burns on one leg. The grafting process is quite painful, and I cried during that.

Do you have kids?

No, and I'm not sure I'd want any of my own. Mentoring, however, is quite a different matter...

Do you use sarcasm?

I prefer not to. Sarcasm limits one's clarity, and in my department, that can be deadly.

What's the first thing you notice about people?

How much they're annoying to me.

What's your eye color?

Red - the same as yours and as most hylotl.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Neither. I prefer tragic or open endings. Endings which make one think.

Any special talents?

I'm highly technically literate, and most of my experiments are successful.

Where were you born?

An underwater city on Apate Prime II.

What are your hobbies?

I used to keep a lot of bonsai water plants, but now there's only space for one tree. I also have a lot of personal engineering projects I like to work on.

Have you any pets?

No. And I'm not sure I'd want any (even if there was space on the ship).

What sports do you play/have played?

Aside from swimming, I'm not very athletic these days. When I was younger I played a game similar to water polo with friends - never competitively though.

How tall are you?

1.6m

Favorite subject in school?

Surprisingly - chemistry. I found the interplay of elements incredibly interesting. I still do, to an extent. Inorganic a physical chemistry are like the gears of the atomic world.

Dream job?

I have to say - I think I'm doing it. I had retired from my previous job after the requisite amount of years, but missed it terribly. Being able to look after a spaceship, while travelling to new and interesting places, is utterly fascinating. I struggle to think of anything better.

HOT YYH TAKE: Kurama would be awkward AF in a romance!

i often see Kurama/Shuichi Minamino characterized as very smooth, calm and collected...and he IS in most situations!

but after his human rebirth, i headcanon he mostly swears off romantic or sexual attachments...he doesn't want a repeat of the Maya fiasco and he doesn't want an SO to leak details about his past to his mother, so it's just simpler to remain unattached

and that means he is either 1) very out of practice when it comes to romance, or 2) inexperienced in the human version of romance

...or both! both is good!

once Kurama finds himself interested in someone romantically, it'll take him a minute (or twelveo) to reorient himself and figure out how all this romantic crap works...he may not even realize he's interested in them romantically or be able to recognize his own desires right away, and thus i think he'd be AWKARD AF until he really sits down to self-reflect and it'd be a huge shock to realize he's actually interested in someone(!?!?!???) after all this time

it would take him a hot minute to carefully (carefully OH SO CAREFULLY) figure out what to do, decide if he should pursue them or just ignore his feelings, and determine how to handle his emotions...he wouldn't want to fuck it up you see...and if his potential lover is a human, it'll take even more strategizing and reflecting to figure out how the heck a romance with a human would actually work in practice

he's smart and he'd get the hang of it quickly, but in the early stages i'm pretty convinced he'd come off as the strangest fucking dude on the goddamn planet...he won't become a stammering mess or anything like that (he's too cool-headed overall), but his behavior and body language would be hot-and-cold and just plain WEIRD for a bit until he figures his shit out...you may even think he hates you a little before the truth comes out!

i love the "Kurama is a perfect, smooth-talking gentleman at all times" characterization we usually fall back on as a fandom, but i think some endearing awkwardness when it comes to love and romance really suit this guy <3

(incidentally, this is the characterization i'm working with in my Kurama/OC fic The Sight Unseen and it's SO MUCH FUN to write!)

bsd oc in @yebyyhfushi bsd sea au, she is a (red) lionfish

in honesty i don’t think i’ve mentioned ogawa even once? she’s actually twenty, but a lot of the sea au art seems to be dark era, so we will go with that

i do intend to draw her at twenty (link), but it’s far easier to draw a traumatised thirteen year old than twenty. only time will tell whether it truly happens

When the Merge came to be, Dr. Albert Overbuild and the Nexus Force made it their immediate mission to help any and all of those who were affected by it, establishing refugee camps and providing with care, food, and any treatment needed at the Crossroads near Ninjago City.

It was no shock that many of the misplaced would wish to join their efforts too...

But just as it brought people from all over, it brought its own threats too. Creatures, monsters, and corporations who would exploit the victims of this new crisis.

The Nexus Force is spread thin across the universe in the efforts to work around the Merge, and with the Ninja who protect Ninjago gone, Dr. Overbuild needed new heroes to step up, much like he and the rest of the Force once did during the Rise of the Darkitect.

Heroes who no matter what they endured, or what they might've lost, are still willing to fight for this new world they can call home. True members of the Nexus Force.

Led by Albert himself, thus are the Protectors of the Crossroads born.

My ever rotating wheel of “which blorbo am I obsessed with this month” has finally circled back to Kurama 😂 Felt the need to let you know I’m gunna read The Hunt for the hundredth time and finally start The Sight Unseen

i mean i don't blame you one bit, just look at this specimen

he fine AF and he knows it LMAO

i'm honored that The Hunt will be back in your reading rotation and i'm THRILLED you're interested in The Sight Unseen! it's a good time to get into that fic; we just hit some very...fun...parts, and the best is yet to come ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (there's a pun there lolol)

tysm for this ask, you are amazing and i hope you like The Sight Unseen! :D

[hlkproductions]

did you know foxes are huge cuddle fiends who show affection by smiling, wagging their tail, and rubbing their scent all over a person or thing they like? well, Ivy did, though she didn't really get to put that to confirmation for fox demons... until one volunteered to demonstrate.

the shedding and white fur everywhere's a nightmare.

Today's mermay piece; my friend suggested these two with the "otter nap" pose thing.

Figured it does fit Chouma and Youko so here we are. Youko's head admittedly looks a tad too large in proportions, but by the time I realized that I was almost done, and don't feel like fixing it lol

Since they have nothing to do with anything amphibian 'canonically,' I didn't really think about the designs that much; I was more trying to achieve that "some bits poking out of the water" look.

Youko (the kid) belongs to @mad-hatter-rici

Practicing manga effects uses the excuse to draw Youko Kurama and Tsumugi again 🫶✨💕

[kazimakuwabara]

A commission I did of @conphusedredpandaa of her character Gem, a sibling of Youko Kurama. They got out of a bar late, and she's a bit silly feeling <3
