inspired by my friends and their gacha adventures

bonus end, because the road of gacha gaming is riddled with the salt:

some process sketches and lines under the cut if anyone's interested

the first little doodle that started everything:

i was originally just going to make this one drawing, with a short little dialogue thing, but i decided to draw it all out into a little comic:

fun fact: you can tell how anxious i am about drawing something traditionally by how many process photos i take. cuz if the worse comes to worst, i can always finish or fix it digitally IF my motivation battery hasn't completely drained, which... it usually is 😅

but i'm very happy with how this turned out! need to draw more silly ideas

Giving the people what they demanded

[sodamnbored]

In New Rome Pre-HoO:

Jason: Here, brought you something.

Nico, confused: A yogurt?

Jason, kindly: I wanted to make you feel more at home here.

Nico: Why would a yogurt make me feel at home?

Jason, tapping the lid: It’s Greek-style.

"Clothes are naturally important to this lovely star, who is an elegant dresser. She hates any kind of ostentation in dress, and simply cannot understand why some women dress so elaborately that they obscure themselves. "If one wants a painting to be noticed and appreciated, one never puts it in such an elaborate frame that it is overwhelmed," she argues. "I'm quite in sympathy with a girl who wants to create an impression when she enters a room", admits the star who certainly attracts all eyes wherever she goes. "But when a dress or jewels attract the attention first, it is no real compliment to a woman's charms. Subdued materials and simplicity of line accentuate attractiveness. They serve as a spotlight for a woman's looks and personality," she insists. "Showy fabrics and an assortment of jewellery, whether it be real or imitation, really turn off the beacon and keep the girl herself in darkness. I believe it a great mistake for a woman to serve as a walking advertisement for a dressmaker, no matter how renowned. I insist that a gown shows me off to advantage, After all, I have paid for it, so why should I be disregarded and all the attention given to the couturier? Whenever a dress gets too much attention, and other women want to know where I purchased it, I know I have made a mistake. And I also know that the designer has, too."

-Ephemera magazine, 1959

message from santa: "happy holidays post-it-notes! 🎄🥳 i know you very politely only wished for a few modest things- characters high fiving, or struggling in christmas attire- but i hope you'll still enjoy this given that i kinda went the opposite direction entirely! i'm an enormous fan of your work and most times you post anything i wind up browsing your art tag from tip-to-tail in enraptured delight. as such, i thought it was only fair i give back something a little more significant in gratitude for all the joy your work has given me. i knew i wanted to do a comic, so i was thrilled you already had a whole storyverse for me to work from!! this scene seemed the most obvious choice (chapter 8 of "wishful thinking" on ao3) given that i enjoy a dramatic fight scene 😂 i tried to stick as beat-by-beat to the writing as i could and worked in as many details as possible; i hope it'll be fun to see it envisioned this way! merry christmas! ~starflung 🎀🔔 "
