It's okay, Ume. Your brother has a steady hand with a piercing gun.

[eidolonshiva]

*pterodactly screaming* I am going to eat my phone. This is so sweet! Prescious beans~

Also that background looks really good, I like how the perspective on the blinds line up.

Art is for drawing your comfort characters cuddling. Apparently you gotta read my fanfiction to get an ounce of angst out of me. Why is he in the hospital. Because I wanted to draw a background and can't use references at work.

Hitting @eidolonshiva in the feelings with the ol' one-two punch.

Gyutaro and Fumiko just chilling on the roof with some 90s Sailor Moon bubbles. I got lazy with the background and edited a screenshot for the buildings, lol.

And here's one of just Gyutaro if anyone wants it.

[eidolonshiva]

She just wants one chance.

[eidolonshiva]

Pssst... I'm here to enable you. Have you drawn any Regency Era for Fumiko x Gyutaro? If not. Maybe you should. >:3

I like the way you think, Anon.

This was really fun, so thank you for your enabling!

[eidolonshiva]

This is uncharacteristically soft for them, but I was in the mood for it.

[eidolonshiva]

"Firefly Wedding" is one of my favorite ongoing manga, so naturally I had to do a redraw of one of the panels with this disastrous couple. I might draw some more of Gyutaro in Shinpei's poses because the two have a similar energy.

[eidolonshiva]

I had hoped to have these posted in time for Valentine's Day, but life got in the way. But I guess I can still make it in time for White Day. I still love the Valentine's Day artwork they did last year with the girls' cafe outfits.

I'm a huge Douma and Shinobu shipper, so it's kind of surprising this is the first time I've drawn them.

The character with Kyojuro is my girlfriend's oc, Shiruku. The character with Gyutaro is my oc, Fumiko.

[eidolonshiva]

I really love this year's Halloween collection. The outfits look like they could be one of the mage classes in Final Fantasy, and the glasses with the big hats remind me of Vivi. (I still like the fairytale collection the best, but to be fair it's hard to top UFO Table personally gifting me Gyutaro as a catboy.)

[eidolonshiva]

We love a disaster mess three-wheeled squad... May I ask for more of the siblings and Fumiko? It can be sincere character building or silly playtime, but I crave them.

I am always happy to supply headcannons for this disastrous trio!

Popping under a cut for length.

When the siblings have a disagreement, they will try to manipulate Fumiko to take their side in a show of dominance and prove who she is most obedient to. Fumiko will almost always take Daki’s side as she spoils her like she would a younger sister. This causes Gyutaro to seethe as he views her taking his sister’s side as a form of betrayal.

In the same vein, Daki will pit Gyutaro and Fumiko against one another to get her own way. If the oiran can turn her brother’s ire towards another target, it provides a distraction for her own scheming.

The few occasions that Fumiko does manage to escape, Gyutaro will hunt her down and drag her back into the safety of the brothel. If the lesser demon acts out after her capture, Daki will imprison her in the obi until she’s compliant once again.

Gyutaro and Fumiko both take pride in Daki’s talents as a courtesan and like hearing her perform or tell stories to entertain clients.

The trio is intelligent in different ways that balances out: Gyutaro is a cunning, calculated, quick-thinker who excels on the battlefield. Daki is gifted in the arts and social graces, which makes her a master manipulator. Fumiko, having been brought up as a medic, is knowledgeable in physiology, herbal medicine, and is emotionally intelligent.

When it comes to Gyutaro and Fumiko’s relationship, Daki played the role of matchmaker. Daki would notice Fumiko hiding in the back alleyways and peeking into the brothel, trying to catch a glimpse of Gyutaro. She would approach this newcomer to gather some intel on her and try to find out her intentions. When Daki discovered that the reason Fumiko was sneaking around was not for nefarious reasons, but rather that the woman was infatuated with Gyutaro, she was shocked. She was used to people reacting to her brother with either fear or revulsion.  She decided to encourage Fumiko’s efforts both in an effort to do something nice for her brother and also out of selfishly wanting someone else to dote upon her and be her caretaker (plus if he has a distraction she can have a bit of freedom.)

Gyutaro will always put his sister above everyone else in his life. If he takes a romantic partner, they would have to accept that they will never come first. Fumiko readily accepts this, and in fact would be disgusted with him if he didn’t put his little sister first.

Fumiko likes to tell ghost stories and in a modern setting would be a fan of gothic novels or horror movies (a hobby I think she and Gyutaro would share.) Daki/Ume is not a fan of scary stories and wishes they would both engage in more light-hearted media.

In any AU’s I have in which Gyutaro and Fumiko have children, Daki/Ume, while being staunchly childfree herself, is a doting Auntie. She would completely fit into the stereotype of the “Wine Aunt,” showering her niblings with gifts and letting them get away with things their parents wouldn’t allow.

For a silly headcannon: In a modern setting, such as the Academy AU, I think Ume would be a fan of pop music. I can see her enjoying Chappel Roan or groups like Blackpink. Gyutaro would probably gravitate towards metal or alt; I think Dir En Grey would be up his alley. Fumiko would listen to “sad girl” music along the lines of Meg Myers, Flower Face or Ethel Cain.

Another silly headcannon: As a Final Fantasy fangirl, I always like to think about what class each character would be. Daki would be a Dancer, Gyutaro would be Reaper, and Fumiko would be a Blue Mage.

If I were to assign a pokemon partner to each of them, I would give Daki a tsareena, Gyutaro a scyther, and Fumiko a mawile.

Gyutaro is the kind of person who puts no effort into his appearance. Daki and Fumiko will take delight in picking out outfits for him.

Bonus silly doodles:

May I humbly request more Toxic Codependency (the ship)?

I am always happy to supply more of my self-indulgent oc x canon shenanigans!

Gyutaro cares about Fumiko in his own way. She's not allowed to self-destruct or indulge in behaviors that would put her in danger. Afterall, no one is allowed to take away something that belongs to him. He may be gruff with her, but that's the only way she will listen.

I imagine that no matter who his partner is, Gyutaro would be possessive and protective of them. He's been told that his strength is his only valuable asset, and having internalized that, he would likely assume that any potential partner would feel the same. He seems like he would also have a fear of loosing anything good in his life, especially having the trauma of almost loosing Ume. So if someone did become important to him, he would keep them tucked away where no one could take them from him.

Thanks for the ask!

Fumiko loves makeup! Tell us more about that. Also do her and Daki give each other makeovers? Girls night!

Hi, anon! Thank you for the ask!

In canon, Fumiko enjoys making skincare and cosmetics out of botanicals, a nod to her somewhat frivolous nature. After meeting the Shabana siblings and being brought into her role as Daki's personal attendant, she would have started helping the oiran with her makeup and hairstyling.

In a modern setting such as the gakuen, Fumiko would have a part-time job at a Sephora-esque cosmetics store.

Daki and Fumiko absolutely have girls night! When Gyutaro is not around, Fumiko will help Daki leave the brothel so that they can have some fun hunting humans and causing mischief. After which she will pamper the oiran by doing her nails or giving her a facial.

“Tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway.” - Sade Andria Zabala.

Felt like drawing something on the more wholesome side for these two.

[eidolonshiva]

Silly meme doodles.

[eidolonshiva]

She doesn't like being interrupted during her self-destructive time.

Sidenote: I actually found some wild japanese wisteria at an art fair I went to yesterday, so I harvested some some petals to try. For those who are curious, it tastes like a nutty lettuce. Wisteria petals are edible, but if you're not familiar with foraging things I wouldn't advise it because the seeds and other parts of the plant are toxic.

A quick little Fumiko I made for a Spotify playlist cover. Does anyone else do that for their OC's?
