Lovin' the art, keep going! You're on a roll!!

Hello,

what a sweet message to find! Lovely GIF too!

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me, I appreciate it a lot.(*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

I'll try to be more active again.......!!!! I'll keep going.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have a good day/night !

[rkrq]

La tua arte è così forte!! Pure io sono italiana, quindi trovare su internet altri artisti italiani mi rende felice di parlare nella mia prima lingua!! Grande fan del tuo lavoro!!

Ciao! Grazie mille per aver scritto questo messaggio e per i complimenti... ora rendi ME felice!! ^-^

Personalmente, penso che trovare artisti italiani su internet sia come trovare la gocciola zebrata. (Che, similitudine a parte, secondo me non esiste. Non mettono davvero la gocciola zebrata nelle gocciole. È tutta una strategia per farci comprare più gocciole.)

Grazie di essere mia fan, benvenuta! Sentiti libera di interagire in italiano quando ti pare! Spero di produrre altri lavori che ti piaceranno!🥰

Buona serata!👋👋👋

[rkrq]

you can ignore this if you don't take requests, but i'd love to see date makoto in your style!!!

also on the same note.. do you take commissions?

Hello,

I'm not taking requests right now so I'll have to decline, I apologize ! I really, really rarely open requests on Tumblr. 😢

About commissions,

I can take a commission depending on how complex it is. You can DM me about it and we can discuss it better, but please beware I might end up declining it depending on whether I feel like I can pull it off/pull through... so... if you want to try your luck... come talk to me ! I'm curious ! But ! I might say no.

I said the same thing 3 times in a single paragraph hahahah... but I just wanted to be clear so that you can decide.

Thank you for considering me for commissions regardless of your decision, it's really flattering to me. ☺☺💕

Have a good day/evening !

[rkrq]

volevo dire che hai uno stile stra epico adoro i tuoi disegni di kaiba e akagi !!

Oh wow, ti ringrazio infinitamente per avermelo fatto sapere!!!🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤

È sempre STRA EPICO ricevere messaggi e commenti nella propria lingua madre.

Ma.... è ancora più stra epico sapere che esistono altri fan di Kaiba e Akagi italiani.😎

Soprattutto Akagi perché a quanto pare è sconosciutissimo ovunque tranne che in Giappone, hahahah!🥲 Posso contare le persone in Italia che conoscono queste due serie sul palmo di una mano, per farti capire. O almeno, queste sono quelle che ho incontrato su internet e dal vivo.

Ho molte altre fanart di Akagi fra i WIP da secoli ormai, ma prima o poi le posterò! Spero che ti faranno da buona fonte di nutrimento...!!!

P.S.: la tua pfp è molto carina, evviva Tezuka !!! A me piacciono molto Tetsuwan Atom e Dororo. 😄

Spero tu passi una buona serata!👋

hii! I absolutely love your art and I'm so thrilled to have found another genbaro/genklint/love triangle (or threeway??) fan!! <3 I'm also fairly shy but I would love to be friends and talk about the Asougis & van Zieks with you! >< Are you okay with receiving messages? No pressure to say yes ^^ I will continue to appreciate your art from afar. Hope you have a great day~

Hello,

thank you for your compliment.☺❤

I never did this before, but I suppose my DMs are available, so you can text me about it, I like to hear more thoughts about them.

However, I'll confess that although I usually like to interact, I'm very shy too, so I warn you that if I take some time to reply or disappear from the conversation, it's because I need some time.

But communication is still intriguing and happy to me, so don't take this as a no.

I rather have friendships build naturally though, so I'm not entirely sure on the friends part, I'm sorry. I find it a bit difficult to build friendships from being asked to from the start. So I would ask of you to keep this in mind.

Long story short, I'm ok with having a chat about the pairings, or if you change your mind, send me more ask bubbles. It's your choice. ^^;;;

Thank you for asking first, have a great day as well. 🙌

Honestly, one-sided GenBaro is my jam. Like, young Barok being so enamoured with Genshin but keeping his distance out of respect only to be crushed so throughly during the Professor incident. I also occasionally like to add GenKlint to it because Klint feeling so guilty for secretly being with the man his brother loves brings a bit of angst and comedy to it.

Hello anon, thank you for sharing your thoughts.👐

Also, I apologize for reponding so late... I hope you will see this reply ;; ...

I see that you prefer Barok never confessing...the respect aspect does make sense. Poor dutiful little Zieks.

I'm sorry, even if it should be sad because of the Professor incident, I can only find the prospect of Barok having unrequited, unconfessed love very, very amusing.

Though, is it really unrequited, in this scenario? He never confessed, so he (and we) will never know.

Still, to be honest, you did explicitly state that one-sided GenBaro is your jam, so I imagine that in your scenario, it was unrequited afterall. Maybe for the best! But either way we choose, it remains fundamentally tragic.

Onto genklimt+barok...

aah, yes, yes!! I really love twist you gave to GenKlint. I don't think I've ever applied an hypothesis of Klimt's guilt as an aspect to genklint + barok... but it's so good. In general, I really dig the theme of guilt, you see.

This has potential to be a tragicomedy, as you said.

Hahah, I should draw this poorly articulated thought that looked funnier in my head....

Klimt, Genshin and Barok just, doing whatever... having a conversation over some tea.

As they chat, Genshin says something to Klimt that sparks up a moment between them. You know, the intense homoerotic queerbaiting type of moment. For a couple of seconds, they fall silent, exchanging a magnetic gaze... it is almost like they are saying something to each other with just their eyes...

[wow.mp3]

Big Zieks is the first one to break eye contact. He glances to the side, and there he sees Barok just standing there like

"😟"

Poor Klimt flinches and sputters some excuse to leave the scene.

Ah, the queer implications of looking at one's work partner in the eyes for a second too long.

For the past week, unfortunately, I've been severely burned out, so I find it hard to draw... but I wish to make more content for them soon🙌 in drawing form...

It was fun. Please do come back if you have more to add or share.🤲

Thank you again, have a superb day👋👋

Genbaro is so tragic… even requited, it’s an inevitable tragedy. There’s no happiness to their ending, but it’s one of those ships that finds its charm in the moments in between, like respite boats passing in the dead of night.

P.S.: I got distracted and wrote more than warranted.

Anon, you pierced my heart with your last sentence. How poetic... çvç

And I agree...honestly I really love to think about the angst too, so if we want to look at it from that perspective, then yes, genbaro is the "inevitable tragedy", as you perfectly worded it.... even thinking of the moments of quiet puts a strain on your heart, knowing how it is fated to end...

Genshin was definitely a source of comfort for Barok at some point. And your beautiful line, "like respite boats passing in the dead of night" (seriously, are you a writer?), made me think of something....

I think that the relationship being hidden from everyone (even Klimt) would really add to the deepness of this reliance... taking your line literally (sorry), maybe they do actually meet (romantically) only at night, when everything else is silent, just to bask in each other's company (and passion👍) — it's just them and the dark sky... and no one to tell.

When there is no one around to remind them of it, Genshin is not married and does not have a son back in Japan; the crystal clear eyes he's sinking into are not ones of the younger brother of a dear friend; and Barok is not a member of a noble family with a notorious, successful older brother, who is working with the man before him; and certainly this attraction of theirs is not a stunt to each other's reputation (not Genshin's as much as Barok's [and consequently Klimt's]). Everything seems simpler, and there is only a sour note on the back of their tongues to remind them of the implications of what exactly they are doing; but it's small enough to be ignored during the time they are together.

Upon these precious moments that were only theirs, Barok secretly finds himself looking back, even after disaster striked. He feels guilty for still latching onto such memories, and doesn't understand why this single, thin thread that connects his heart to his brother's murderer, out of all people, is still not severed like all the others, completely burnt to ashes like it should have been.

But at the same time, how could he possibly forget? Love and hate are two faces of the same coin, most likely in his shock, he's just mixing up the two. Most likely, those are what he used to consider an important part of his happier times.

...still, the guilt eats away at him slowly.

And the night encounters also gives a certain gothic flair to the romance! Hahah.

The relationship maybe used to be a bit on-and-off too! Something like a classic "we should stop, out of respect for your brother" "then why do you keep seeking me out?"... they quit, only to then discover with each time, that they can't stay that far away from each other. Like magnets ....🧲🧲🧲

Sorry, this is super cheesy.

Ahh, the charm of the older man..?

If I think of how betrayed Barok must have felt — more betrayed than anyone else at this point, and in the worst possible way at that — I would imagine how unsure he would be to pursue new romantic avenues... if he even would; part of me wonders if he would just give it up, OR, in the contrary, he'd get involved in some not-so-healthy dynamics (looks at vorbaro?).

And it justifies even more the distrust towards others (and himself) he's been haunted by throughout his life (if we want to take the Barok-never-heals route — especially when putting Vortex x Barok in the picture, because that would be YET ANOTHER betrayal, another time he "let himself" be fooled and hurt. So many shocking reveals.... all in one trial. So many betrayals...... and when considering romantic involvement, maybe the wound runs even deeper, or better yet, it spreads to more areas of his life (friendship, family, and now LOVE too).

When he was younger he looked up to and trusted Genshin (and his brother), only to then... have all the rest happens.... he confides in Stronghart.... only to then... have all the rest happen, again, worse. His sense of security has been thoroughly shattered ! Each thing he found a temporary comfort in, revealed itself to be a trap ! This bad boy can fit so much trauma in his brain [slaps him in the face, Barok doll falls limp to the ground].

It would be interesting to explore any other Barok ship while including a past genbaro, I think.

Though, there is also to say that the open-wound and distrust element is part of his character no matter the scenario.

I'm not very good at interpretating characters, so I apologize if this sounds very OOC... and also I'm aware it's not the most original scenarios ever hahahah, but this was fun.

Thank you for making me explore the tragic aspect, anon! And thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I hope you enjoyed reading through my answer. If you want to add something, feel free to do so.

Have a wonderful day🥰
