#shall we date fan art

[everyday-castaway]

After blinking several times, I venture to call his name. "...Sh...Shiroya?"

He looks at me in a sluggish manner, and he is not smiling as he usually is.

Where did his cheerful smile go....? I feel as if my chest were being pricked by a tiny thorn.

"Ayame..."

—Shiroya's route, Destiny Ninja 2 (belongs to NTT Solmare/Shall We Date)

I played through a lot of Shall We Date's mobile otome games back in high school before many of them were shut down a few years ago. My second game was Destiny Ninja 2, and my first route within that game was Shiroya.

Shiroya has become one of my favorite fictional characters, and by far my favorite system that I've seen in fictional media (read about DID/OSDD for more info on what being a system means). I was so surprised by how an otome game company depicted the complexity and nuance of DID more kindly than I've seen in media in some other places.

I get that DID tends to show up as a character trope that writers in the past liked to tag on to people to amp up drama, especially in the mystery, horror, and thriller genres. It also sometimes shows up as a trope in the fantasy genre (in which, I think, Destiny Ninja 2 would fall). However, there's a surprising amount of care and depth that Shall We Date put into their system characters (those being Shiroya/Other Shiroya in DN2+, and Kagura/Homura in Ninja Shadow+). I have so much more I could say, but I'll save that for another place and time.

Anyway, the first time MC encounters Other Shiroya has lived so vividly in my brain for YEARS, so I've always wanted to try to illustrate it. I don't usually have energy to draw fan art, but I realized recently that I had developed my art skills enough to attempt drawing out this scene, and so here is the result. I'm honestly pretty happy with it. :) —🏵️

Here's my take on the appearence of the Celestial Realm's sweet-loving Prince of the Heavenly Host, Michael! My, my, this took a while to make. An even longer while given that i've designed him back in january :/. I need to get better at outfit design because these are so simple compared to the clothes in obey me😔 also what the fuck could make a man order 7 liters of honey and 700 sweets mikey baby are you alright? do you need to see a therapist? you could probably make a trail of candy leading to an obvious trap and he'd get in willingly

I find Satan and Mephistopheles's relationship so funny! I like to think they love to tash talk others and gossip due to their connections. I can picture the type of shade they'd throw:

"So and so got a divorce." - M

"About time, I couldn't stand their lovey dovey act anymore." - S

Also, standard reaction when Lucifer is brought up 🤭
