How about a number 1 and 29 for the ask post thingy (:
1. Who was your first ever OC? Do you still “use” them? How have they evolved over time?
Marzipan! Made her back when Kirby's return to Dreamland first hit America, I was abouuut 11ish (I'm not good at math, so that might be wrong.). Sadly, I don't have that old sketch book anymore!
I do infact still use her, she's my pride and joy next to Levi!
Her character has mostly remained intact, the notable changes being her story and how I draw her today! I don't remember the original story either, I'm sorry xD, but her OG design was almost this, with some minor differences, like only having a buckle!
Tumblr media
Compared to her current design, I'd say she's evolved a lot since then!
Tumblr media
29. What was your first fandom you were in? Did you make any art/fanfic for it?
Ooough man, Kirby, and the old art is so SO BAD LMAO
LOOK AT THIS OLD ASS SKETCH. She wasn't even the first of her siblings to be designed jdnxhdh this is Lora btw. I should really try to revive Stella too someday.
Tumblr media
I also need to redraw Lora just to see what all has changed <3

If you have any ocs and you’re comfortable sharing I’d like to hear about them! No pressure!
[tumblr] stop trying to eat my inbox challenge impossible
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS IN MY HEAD U DONT EVEN GET IT ok maybe u do because i, unfortunately, havent been fixated on my ocs but instead fully on BATIM so oops
anyways ramble under the cut
OK OK SO FIRST OF ALL I LOVE YOU SECOND I HAVE A WORLD IN MY HEAD THAT I STARTED TO LIKE WRITE ABOUT IN MY SKETCHBOOK LMAO
ok so sanaa, a fennsang- a hybrid between a banded linsang(sort of like a weasel, theyre really cool) and a fennec fox- is like the protag of this world. she was my brainrot for a year but uh i kind of maybe lost that spark
(i cant find any art of her but itd be like really old<///3)
i also had cody, an african wild dog!
Tumblr media
i do not like my old art style but i love my little trans man ghjdbfjejfbr . anyways i also designed Maou/Mawu, an african moon goddess, and tried my best to do research on animals associated with her, as well as the blood moon festival. ofc, i was young and probably missed so many details, so please forgive my ignorance as i know i cant do it justice
i wrote, " in central africa, at the festival of the blood moon. Taking place every 30 years it is celebrated to welcome the Moon goddess, Mawu(Maou), from her 30-year slumber. It lasts the whole night, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. food and drinks are sold at stalls for a certain amount of bugs. Some bugs are more valuable than others." the bug part is my universe thing, obviously, theyre like a type of currency for most critters- another type is kelp or mushrooms, sort of like trading- but ofc its not exactly like real-life currency. another passage on a different page is " the moon parade, also called Mawoo, is a parade/festival celebrated all throughout Central africa, mainly in nigeria, where the canines gathered together to howl to awaken her(Mawu)" obv i put like worldbuilding there but i sort of feel like it isnt,, idk. i dont think i should have based it that closely on a real-life thing idk idk heres an old drawing
Tumblr media
i was so proud at the time but i wanna redraw these goobers fjejbfje. actually brb gonna do tht
hi im back like an hour later with sketches tweehee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
much better i think :)
anywayswhere was i,,,, uh. ok anyways moving on ig? sanaa's parents met at this festival and they were like yea we vibe together. jakob(linsang dad) and feechi(fennec mom) ((can u tell im not good at names fjejfn)) and they settled down in south africa to have a kid and raise it properly kind of thing. sanaa grows up alright, the kind of kid that like,,, wanders around her neighborhood, picking up sticks and rocks, throwing them at the ground from the top of a tree she climbed because you stopped looking at her for 2 seconds
so lne day she meets cody, because she accidentally threw a stick at him she wasnt looking. so they were like. yeah we r friends now :)
they grow up together, get an apartment and are ROOMIE BUDDIES when they turn like 20 cos its fun. insert angst insert angst and suddenly the town is in hysteria and THATS WHERE I STOPPED WRITING NOOOO :(

Headcanons for the Avengers’ days off
Avengers x reader
warnings: stabbing mention lmao, guns
a/n:
prompt: anonymous: “can we have a y/n just chilling with all the avengers?”
Tumblr media
over the years, it was hard to have a peaceful day off, but sometimes that was the priority
each avenger had a preference on what they liked to spend their free time on
but we all know that there’s never a true stress-free day when it comes to your team
most of you preferred sleeping in, but not cap or sam, it was 6:00am sharp for them
you had begged tony to soundproof this place, but noooo
“it’s just not practical, what if someone’s being stabbed? what if we cant hear them yelling for help?”
so you could hear the clattering of the kitchen and buried your face into your pillow
sooner or later you’d roll out of bed and find breakfast had been cooked for the whole team
“‘morning, y/n! we made eggs, toast, bacon, waffles, and cut up some fruit! here’s your plate and here’s some juice”
“oh, wow, smells great”
it could’ve been worse, at least there were no coffee grounds in the disposal so you didn’t have to hear tony complain
speaking of tony, he emerged from the hallway in his silk robe with bags under his eyes
“well, i dont know about you guys, but i slept great!”
“how many hours of sleep did you get, tony?”
“you know, like...two”
sooner or later, the rest of the avengers had been woken up and everyone gathered in the living room to watch the news and talk about their plans
“can we watch something other than the news? i’d honestly be down to watch spongebob, anyone else?” -rhodey
you were in charge of the remote
“hell yeah, i thought you’d never ask”
this full group of adults peacefully watching nickelodeon together until everyone was finished
now there was a pile of dishes in the sink and a very dirty kitchen but everyone just kind of forgot about it and went on to other things
so what relaxed the avengers?
well, most of them liked to train, but they had other hobbies too
like steve, he liked to draw (every once in a while he showed you his sketches and they’re honestly really good?? especially the redraw of a monkey in the ‘40s)
sometimes he even asked you to model poses for him
“just another minute, y/n, you’re doing great”
*you standing on one shaking leg in a kick position*
steve made u draw with him
“it’s therapeutic”
you left your art in his room and now it’s hung up on the fridge
and then there was tony, who was working on some new inventions that you were a bit worried about
you snuck past the lab, but FRIDAY told him that you were near
“y/n! come help me with this really quick!”
“damn, so close”
“can you try this on and shoot it at that target over there?”
“why cant you do this?”
“because your body is able to ‘take the heat’ or whatever that dumb catchphrase you have is”
luckily it worked, but “not good enough” and you ended up helping tony hold the thing in place while he worked
“so, how’s your day off going so far? do anything fun?”
“hung out with steve while he was working on some sketches”
“so i’m going to take that as a ‘no’”
tony relieving you of your duties so that you could roam the compound once more
hearing wanda play guitar!! you loved hearing her play!
“knock knock”
“come in”
you laid in her bed for a while and listened to her soothing voice, it made up for tony’s lab assistant thing
“do you know what’s for lunch?”
“i think today’s special is ‘serve yourself’”
you and wanda went off to the kitchen to make macaroni and cheese (because why not??? im about to make my own mac and cheese)
(also u made tony a pb&j bc u knew damn well he wasn’t coming out of that lab for a while) (u gave him lightly salted chips too bc he needs to cut down on his sodium)
“tony, eat lunch”
“aww, for me? you shouldn’t have”
yall think wanda watches shameless?? bc i kinda do and these are my headcanons so she watches shameless
“we’re more unstable than the gallaghers, they should make a show about us”
she almost choked on her mac and cheeseeee
“keeping up with the avengers”
“‘tony, what the fuck is up with your wifi, you have this big-ass compound and you can’t afford a wifi box out here?’”
“‘it’s not about affording, it’s about radiation’”
“‘you’re gonna die anyway! you understand that, right? die with a good snapchat going through!’”
nearly pissing yourself laughing
but vision asked wanda a favor and you wandered off to another part of the compound
ah, yes, the training room
clint, nat, sam, and rhodey were all in here; it was target practice day
“y/n, grab a gun and get over here!”
“a gun? let’s teach y/n some archery”
“nobody wants to learn archery, clint”
“what? you said you wanted to”
“yeah, but you never taught me”
“well, i can teach you right now”
“fine, let’s go!”
red-wing flew very close to your head
“watch out, y/n!” -sam
“dude, you’re gonna kill them” -rhodey
“seems like now is a bad time?”
everyone was just kind of bickering as per usual, you were just a teeny bit bored
but sam agreed to a round of hand-to-hand combat that really relaxed you
no, really, the best stress reliever is a peaceful fight between your roommates
you were kinda glad it wasn’t nat you were fighting because she’d probably put you on the mat twice a minute
soon, each of you worked up a sweat and you went to your private bathroom to take a shower
there was always hot water at the avengers compound, so that was a comforting thought
after you were out, you got dressed into some cozy pajamas and walked out to the kitchen, where wanda and vision were making dinner
a few avengers were already out on the couches, just watching the tv
you joined them and suggested that they should all watch a movie tonight
“what kind of movie?”
“i dont know? hot tub time machine?”
everyone agreed
and side eyed steve when sebastian stan popped up on screen
“guys, i really dont see the resemblance! cant we just watch the movie?”
“are you blind??”
“his 90 year old eyes deceive him”
it was a good dinner
“sam, you stink”
“i havent taken a shower yet”
what a loving family

The bullies with an S/O that’s just completely off the board? Like no matter how much they look the bullies can’t find /anything/ on them, all their school papers are forged and their home just isn’t able to be found no matter how hard they look? Maybe due to the S/O changing their identity after doing something bad?
That's hella specific and I love it?? XD
Sure thing boo, let me see what I can do.
Also, I'll change the ocs profiles to be paper drawings with digital coloring because believe me boo, I'm tired of redrawing them (and I believe y'all are tired of always seeing these new drawings).
I noticed that my paper art is a lot better than my digital art, and although I'm kinda proud of them I still feel a little petty because I wish to do cool stuff on the computer ;-;.
Anyway, just a heads-up if you see something off with the oc's bios.
TW/Tags: I have no idea what to tag this lmao // identity theft // illegal/unauthorized inscription // not an accurate representation of university/how universities work lol // abusive household/abusive parents // I may or may not have changed your concept a little, I'm sorry for it 😔
🍭꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍮꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍰꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍮꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖🍭
Suspicion (fuck yeah, I don't know what to title this) [Yandere!Bully OC x Reader - Headcanon]:
→Adrien Coldwell:
For a person that prides themselves as the "know it all" when it comes to people's social media and reputation, he doesn't know anything about you.
This is a first for him, which is both annoying and honestly so intriguing. You didn't strike him as a person who would hide any secrets, and he had a hunch this was about to be good.
He searched for social media first, not finding anything about Avery Remington. Well, at least nothing with your face on it.
However, he did find something very, very interesting while looking at the school's documents, specifically the archives of all the students that have already studied here. He honestly didn't think he would find anything about you in these old papers, he was probably doing all this stupid work for nothing.
However, he was half right and half wrong. He didn't find anything about you, but this whole search wasn't completely lost, as he did find "you", Avery.
"- Student name Avery Remington, average grades and apparently no history of wrong doings or any bad behavior in general. Their registration to the Academy dates to 1980."
Oh. Ooooh, this was rich.
"- Huh." He said closing the documents and letting it where he found it. He was at least kind enough to let the palace a little organize after going through each paper trying to find your name.
Well, "your name". The only things that he kept for himself was photos of both the old documents about Avery Remington, and the earlier documents about Avery Remington. It was clear that you did something probably really, really bad, and you know he'll take advantage of it.
He had built his own theory about this, as in: you somehow found the paperwork of Avery's registration and their previous school's records so you could somehow impersonate them and get a free entrance to this institution.
He knew that you had something to hide, no one can be so perfect. But knowing the action itself wasn't enough for him, he needed to know the motive behind it.
For someone that is lazy and doesn't bother to care about important things, he sure spent a lot of time trying to scoop some dirt on you. When he finds the perfect opportunity, without any witness around, he'll take the chance to use this information against you.
"- Well, hello "Avery"." His tone was already suspicious, his voice not hiding anything from you. He came here to belittle you for his own entertainment.
"- H-Hi Adrien." You said shyly, hoping that your anxious mind was wrong and that this was all just a misunderstanding. You were hoping that the growing feeling of him possibly knowing about your fraud, was wrong.
"- Ya know, I'm kinda jealous of whatever plastic surgery you went through to look so young, maybe you should ask the faculty to correct your age tho." He said while showing the pictures he took of the documents.
"- Wait! I-I can-"
"- Honestly, I didn't think you were over 60 years old! Could have fooled me." His smug face was the selling point. You knew that you wouldn't find any form to convince him that what was on his phone was false.
He had a victorious smile on his face. Ever since you entered this school you always acted a little too paranoid and almost too friendly for his liking, and to confess to himself that he has fallen for you would be the bottom of the pit to him.
Still, he wanted to know why you did it. Why didn't you pay to get in if you wanted the scholarship so badly? What, you were too poor for it?
And what about a talent, or the test? Obviously, the university hasn't gone out of their way to pick a loser like you and insert you inside their classes on a whim, as they thought you were Avery Remington, a student that is already registered in school's documents (yet, of course, their system haven't verified the date of the registration, either by incompetence or by a "small mistake"). So you didn't do the test too, simply pathetic honestly.
Your sad dramatic story explaining how you managed to get into the academy. You did your best to get into the academy by legal means, but they always rejected you. Apparently you thought it would be a good idea to use your grandparent's documents to squeeze yourself into the institution.
"- But why in hell would you do such a thing? Are you that pathetic dearest?"
"- I… I wanted somewhere to go. Somewhere I could grow into a better person, a-away from-" You cut yourself short when the memories of your old home started to come into view.
For some reason, your parents couldn't stand the idea of you getting into a decent university, if anything, they thought you weren't capable of even washing some dishes at the local pizzeria. In their eyes, you were worthless.
When you found out your grandparent used to frequent this institution, and that they managed to disattached themselves from their familial routes and thrive as a musician you got instantly inspired! Determined to follow their steps and prove your family that you're just as worth ass-
"- Urghhhh- Boring! I don't care about all of that. Are you serious? You committed a crime just so you could stick it up to your shitty parents?"
"- …. Yes?"
"- Huh. Geez you're cooler than I thought. Listen, how about we make a deal?"
The deal was simple, he would not tell anyone about your little secret, and he would even help you keep your scholarship and help you reach your ambitions as long as you started spending more time with him. Which, at first you thought it sounded absurd, this man is holding your whole life by a thin thread as long as you give him attention?? What?!
And although that sounded extremely suspicious, you accepted it, not knowing that for the next few years you would have to endure a harsh training to discover your talents and to improve them before you two graduated. However, you started to think Adrien was starting to see your deal in a different light-
"- Come on now, after this we can go eat something okay? Where would you like to go this time? Our last date I chose the best restaurant I know, so you better choose something of equal value."
…. Date?
→Alexandra Coldwell:
You were suspicious from the very start. Overly friendly and too- Ugh! Too cute?!
You were always skittish whenever someone called you. What, you had a problem with your name or something?
And the worst part was how no one seemed to know where you lived. Every group project with you was considered annoying by most of your classmates, as you never called people in your house or never let anyone have your address, not even your phone number??
You didn't have any social media, what are you, a weirdo? What the hell??!
She is not even pissed about you being a loser, she is pissed that she has fallen for someone like you! A complete weirdo that was always panicking over nothing.
She started stalking you with the intention of finding at least one thing that she could hate on you so she wouldn't feel so- Lovey dovey towards you!
But what she really found was something worth an entire gold mine.
A private phone call between you and someone who was losing their shit. She couldn't understand too much of the conversation as she didn't have any context, yet she could hear a lot of things that you and the person were discussing.
The person yelled [Y/N] multiple times while in the phone call, saying how you were absolutely the worst mistake of their lives (which by the way, rude much? Who is this asshole?), that you were a selfish brat that needed to learn to appreciate their hard work.
Oh… Oh. She now knows who you're talking with. She decided to record the entire thing the moment she saw you taking your cellphone to have a private call.
She was planning on recording your voice for her own hearing pleasure, but this? This was so… Interesting.
"- [Y/N]?" She called your attention after the conversation ended, and because you haven't been accustomed to people calling you "Avery", you turned around saying "what" instinctively.
And when you noticed Alexandra smirk for a split second, you regretted answering your parents call. Not that you needed anymore reason to regret it, but this was certainly the last nail in the coffin.
You begged for her to understand that you couldn't go back, you simply can't go back to them, ever again! You told her the whole sob story about how your grandparent had decided to run away from home and fulfil their own dreams as a musician, even if people didn't really hear their music all that much, and now that you think about it, that's probably the reason why no one have recognized their name at all.
Your grandparent had a really small fanbase, and you knew that because you were part of them. They weren't popular at all compared to Amaryllis Academy standards, yet they were happy singing their songs to the world.
You kinda wish your family hasn't broken the old recorder that belonged to your grandparent. Their first album was in there, it was cheesy and filled with errors, yet they sounded so happy when doing what they loved, and you wanted something like that for yourself!
You needed to live that hell hole and so you did. You rented a small apartment that was falling apart, the reason why you never gave people your address was because you knew they would bully the hell out of you because of how poor you are.
After finishing your story you noticed Alexandra snoring beside you. You thought she was only exaggerating, but then you saw her drooling and acting really dizzy after you woke her up.
"- Oh my God, so… That was it? You ran away to follow your dreams and stuff?" She asked, still kinda sleepy.
"- What? Of course it was-" You were fuming with anger, how dare she-
"- And I thought you only looked cool because I liked you! You're pretty strong for sticking up for yourself." She interrupted you, looking at you with admiration in her eyes.
She proposed to you a deal. How about you two keep this secret together, and, if anything does happen she'll still help you stay inside the institution. However, you'll need to work your ass out to become the best you can be, and you'll let her guide you through, because you're too much of a dummy to do it all by yourself. You'll have to spend time with her and let her help you out.
At first, you thought it sounded absurd, this woman is holding your whole life by a thin thread as long as you give her attention?? What?!
And although that sounded extremely suspicious, you accepted it, not knowing that for the next few years you would have to endure a harsh training to discover your talents and to improve them before you two graduated. However, you started to think Alexandra was starting to see your deal in a different light-
"- Why you never hold my hand? Come on, "Avery", won't you hold the hand of your dearest girlfriend?" She asked playfully while taking your hand anyway.
…. Girlfriend?

I got this question on deviantart, and I felt like reposting my answer here, in case anyone is interested :P 
THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG REPLY BUT BEAR WITH ME LOL When I first started drawing/am I self taught : I've been drawing since kindergarten. Anime specifically, since I was about 8 years old. so that's been uh...18 years since I've started drawing in the anime-esque style? I am self taught on these areas. I picked up a digital artist tablet at the age of 13 or so, (it was a wacom Graphire 4 4x5 in) so it's been 13 years of digital art practice i've gotten in. I have picked up several how to draw books over the years until i surpassed some of them. But even now i'm constantly referencing tutorials and poses, looking for ideas and color palettes, etc. I have taken some schooling in college for art. I took beginner's drawing and color theory and maybe a little of art history but that's about it before i quit lmao What inspired me to draw in the first place/what I first drew: The thing that inspired me to draw in the first place was my favorite cartoons. from a very young age i knew that cartoons weren't real, but it fascinated me that actual people could create almost living people. I related to cartoons, and even though they were fake characters, I just loved the idea of creating a whole world of my own. So I took up drawing in kindergarten. First things I drew were flowers, rainbows, trees, etc. But My first biggest undertaking was powerpuffgirls. lol This was the series that started it all. Began drawing tons of powerpuffgirls stories and oc's. For the next few years I would watch different things like all the standard cartoon network shows. But I watched yugioh and dbz and other anime things too. What also got me into anime art style was the online game neopets lol Their faeries designs ( http://images.neopets.com/games/pages/icons/screenshots/586/4.jpg ) kind of had an anime resemblance, so I started drawing those for a while. When I was 8 or 9 years old my father bought me my first how to draw manga book (this one in particular: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Drawing-Manga-Ben-Krefta/dp/1841931713  ) looking back on it, this book is terrible and the anime in it is so ugly looking lol. However, i used that thing religiously and began making my own characters like a blue elf girl and a human friend of hers. ( in fact, here's the post. i tried redrawing them recently lol: https://shock777.tumblr.com/post/145898896143/finding-old-art-is-the-best-cause-you-can-redraw ) ...Then the real transformation began once I started watching Teen Titans when it aired in 2003. I was 10 at the time. That show started my love for japan. The language interested me and I began researching Japanese songs and trying to sing along to them. I didn't know what the words meant, but the artistic style and meshing of western cartoons and anime of the show really piqued my interest. My earliest drawings of them suckedddd XD; As Teen Titans drew to a close near 2006-2007 ish, I picked up Naruto and then it was all over since then lol my anime style and weeb days really came into full force lol I thank naruto though. I learned how to draw more realistic anatomy as opposed to cartoony anatomy. It was a very wild ride, but it's all documented here on my deviantart page as I got this exact account around the same time! I started posting my work in 2008, so you can go back far enough into my gallery and see the progress XD; I keep the old cringe up because it just motivates me and hopefully others, to keep drawing and keep going farther! :) PHEW lol long history there XD I do have some of my old art!!! If you wanna see some, I've posted a little here: https://shock777.tumblr.com/tagged/old-art plus I already said there's a few still on my dA gallery haha Tips I can give to you: 1. And I think this is most important, JUST KEEP GOING. It's soooo tempting to quit drawing when things aren't going right and when you're not happy with how your art looks. Trust me, every artist I've ever known including myself have gone through this. It's so easy to compare your work to someone else's. The thing is, we're all in this together. No one expects a newborn to be able to file taxes or drive a car lol. We all have to evolve and change, and that change comes from consistent work. Art isn't an inherent talent, it is hard work that is honed over several years of blood, sweat and tears lmao JUST KEEP GOING. as I've mentioned, my old cringe art is still on my dA page. Back then when I was younger I was less concerned with things being perfect and I spam posted almost every doodle. And I began a "fanbase" i guess because of those days and my consistent posting. I've had this freaking deviantart page for 11 freakin years. If I had stopped drawing whenever I felt my art was imperfect or not good enough, I would have stopped posting around 2009. so...just keep going. And I'd even dare you to post your "shitty doodles" that you think aren't that great. Because you never know what someone else will see in it that you don't. Be confident, and never give up! 2. Soak up any tutorial and really focus on studying your favorite artist's styles. If there's something you want to replicate in your art that someone else is drawing, try to see how they do it. sometimes artists have tutorials posted and sometimes they don't. I have a few posted on my youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRB9xQBsGpfetNJbmXWZ1fL9d5IlqQs1w ) and some in my gallery. Don't exactly copy some things stroke for stroke, but try to add your little spin to something. Like sometimes I will see art senpai drawing a specific eye style I wanna replicate, but I don't like one part of the process. So sometimes I'll just add my own little addition, or just omit that process completely. Usually though, if the art style isn't necessarily super unique, you can copy a lot of mainstream styles without anyone really griping saying "oh you're just copying so and so's art style". It's important to look up to art senpais i think. They make me want to try harder lol 3. Take an art class if you're able. Color theory really helped me grasp things that I never had before. LIKE REFLECTIVE LIGHT FOR INSTANCE. I never drew that shit but now I do because DUH it's so freaking obvious lol It also helps to learn what colors neutralize others, complementary colors, analogous ones, etc. It's nice to have an eye for what matches together and to know the principles of art. I still have a lot of work to do when it comes to perspective, which we did cover a little in class lol but work on your own pace. If your college near you offers a class for beginners, take it if you're able. it will help you view things differently. 4. Copy realistically. Like, I'm talking look at a freaking object in your room and try to draw it. Once you can draw it semi realistically, you can then add your own little stylistic choices to it. Like so many artists who draw chibis or cartoony things, they more than likely know the proper proportions of people and anatomy. But they draw the proportions all whacky and it creates their own style. However it does help to know how they work in reality lol 5. TRACE OVER POSES. Sometimes I do this. I'm not saying to trace someone's art, but if you see some kind of pose on say a google image, or a stock photo, try sketching over it to get a feel for where the joints connect if you're working on anatomy. It reaaaallly helps you memorize where the arm would end, or where the torso connects to the hips. 6. Take advice and criticism well. If someone sees something you don't about your art, they may be on to something. It's not wrong if someone gives you a heads up that a proportion seems lacking or something seems too big or out of place. It will actually help you to see what others see. Sometimes we get in the habit of drawing something a certain way and it's hard to break that habit especially if you've drawn the same thing several hundred times. It will help you in the long run to just accept that you're always going to be improving. You'll never be perfect at drawing, so what do you have to lose? Just keep walking forward and learn what you can. 7. Flip the canvas. This is more or less a digital art tip, but please flip the canvas to make sure the proportions are not off. lol A lot of professionals have to flip the canvas until they get a feel for where things are placed. Another good tip is to use a stabilizer of some kind to draw straight lines. Paint tool sai has one at the very top of the window. It helps tremendously. 8. Draw what you like and don't feel bad for not drawing everything everyone else likes. Don't sacrifice your morals or your personal desires for something everyone else likes. If you're paid to draw something you don't like, thats another thing. but don't let people pressure you to draw stuff that you don't want to. You'll be much happier, and build an audience that is much like-minded to you. Be considerate of what your audience likes, sure, but remember at the end of the day, art is something to express one's self. Art is not and should not be a job. Even if you get paid money to draw or design things, it's important to take a break and draw something for yourself every once in a while. Be self indulgent, and treat yo self from time to time :) And uhhh...that's all I can think of for the time being. :') let me know if you have any further questions or if I need to clarify anything :) Thanks again!

Hey, so I'm confused. So it seems Hide has his own human/CCG group against Furuta. They possibly want coexistence, like Goat. There's the battery day, Hide's Ace of Spades, the magician being the bridge between heaven and earth and the Scarecrow etc as symbolism about them collaborating. But then Hide's the witch servant, the Prince's enemy, and the witch probably being Eto or maybe Itori. But Eto is backing up Kaneki, and Hide probably helped her and Arima in their OEK plan to save Ken's [1]
life. Plus Hide’s getup in the play really resembles the Clowns’, but also has Eto’s hat. And then we have lots of Dragon symbolism for Hide, with the Dragon being Furuta’s ally and possibly a revived Shirazu. That would maybe tie the Qs to Furuta, because Scarecrow is apparently depicted as Saiko’s enemy despite the fact he just asked Urie to join him, and Saiko seems to want to collaborate with Urie.
Dragons controlled by Magicians who flew the sky and ended the war between an empire and a rebellious army (CCG/V and Goat?) If it’s Hide’s third faction, it’s curious that he’d control the Dragon, Furuta’s ally. And then there’s the old OEK stuff. Hide’s name possibly refers to the Naaga, and Chika to the underground and maybe the Washuu through Yoshitoki. He sometimes displays special physical abilities, now also as Scarecrow and we’re given weird hints in the redraw. Ishida’s new art may hint we’ll be seeing V, Furuta’s ally, soon. I don’t know what to think about all of this.
Right, so you’ve brought up quite a lot in your ask and I’ll try to address everything, because even though it might seem all over the place, I think it can still all be connected.
It seems to me that Hide appears to have similar goals to Kaneki; to be honest, I never pinned him as caring all that much for working towards coexistence, though. I thought he was more of a character who was concerned simply with himself and his person sphere since he treated ghouls as equals. I didn’t think he cared much for coexistence but he didn’t seem to see ghouls any differently from humans. I’m realising now that the way I perceived Kaneki and Hide may have been switched.
It seems to me as though Kaneki is the one who appears to be fighting for the good of everyone, when he really just admits to fighting for those close to him. Hide on the other hand, appears to be concerned with himself (and Kaneki), but maybe he’s seen now that the way things are can’t go on. He’s now been forced to see that the system they’re living under has fucked up his and Kaneki’s lives. The person he loves most is in constant danger thanks to the current system, and maybe that’s helped Hide to realise that he can’t just sit back and let things continue the way they are. Hide isn’t one to sit back and wait for something to happen, and that’s why I think he’s taking it into his own hands now.
Hide’s card, the Ace of Spades, it’s known to be the most powerful card in the deck, and I think that’s because what Hide is doing now is a game changer. He’s now introduced another opposition to Furuta, one that no one suspected to be of any significance before now, but they’re taking back the CCG and that changes EVERYTHING.
Like you said, the battery day page, Hide and Kaneki’s birthdays as well as their tarot symbolism all seem to be heavy indicators that they’ll join together to work towards a common goal. I think that this will still be the case. Now that Hide has taken the CCG, technically, he is on the opposing side to ghouls. This makes me think that perhaps this is the betrayal against Kaneki? This is the stage where Hide is in opposition to Kaneki, but Goat’s goal has been to make negotiations with the CCG, so I can see them joining forces against their mutual opposition which would most likely continue to be Furuta since he’s at a pretty high position of power in multiple organisations.
As for Eto, I still think there’s space for her to fit into all of this. Hide was heavily injured in the sewers, and of course he must have escaped somehow. I’m doubtful that he managed to get himself out of there alone, and Aogiri were already there snatching up fallen investigators for Kanou to experiment on. Eto seemed to already have shown interest in Hide from the time Hide went to Takatsuki Sen’s book signing. I am almost certain that Hide and Eto HAVE to be involved somehow. It would seem pointless to me to include that scene between them if they’re not. It’s possible that during the time between TG and :re, Hide was with Eto. This would make sense if Eto saw potential for him to be an OEK candidate (there’s me going off about the 2nd OEK theory again lmao).
I feel as though the part of the play which has the witch’s servant receiving forgiveness from the prince and joining him by his side will be when the CCG and Goat join together inevitably.
Additionally, although Saiko has been linked to Scarecrow, I’m thinking that it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be enemies. Some speculate that Scarecrow was Saiko’s online friend she mentioned at the beginning or :re, and really, I see no reason as to why Hide would be against Saiko. They don’t appear to be working in opposing directions, so it would make far more sense to me that she should join him, and that the art of the Quinx simply drew connections between them and the ghouls rather than pitting them against each other.
As for this panel, I want to give my interpretation on it since it ties in with what you said about the dragon being Furuta’s ally but Hide being linked to it.
Tumblr media
“A battle between an empire where dragons controlled by magicians soar through the sky and a rebel army that stirred the heart.”
So, the Empire would obviously refer to the current system which Furuta is at the head of. The rebel army would, of course, be Goat, but the dragons don’t have a side specified to them. I think the dragons and magicians actually refer to multiple people on different sides. Of course, Hide being associated with the magician makes me think that his group are being referenced, but I’ve seen a couple theories claiming that Furuta has also adopted magician status, which makes sense since he refers to his secret weapon as “dragon”. In light of this, I think the dragons which are referenced in this panel could be alluding to magicians on both sides using “dragons” against eachother. If this is the case, that means that Hide’s ties with the supposed Naagaraji would still make sense, however it seems to me that Furuta’s kagune we saw in 138 seems to bare quite close resemblance to the Naagaraji we were shown underground.
Hide being a Washuu is definitely still on the table, and if he is one, it would make even more sense for him to take up the position of Chairman at the CCG (though I would personally prefer this position to go to either Matsuri or Marude).
As for that art of the hand with a V on the wrist reaching out to Kaneki, I can’t say I’m entirely sure of what that means. Many have been speculating about who that hand belongs to, but I think that it could just be a metaphor. Perhaps the hand just represents V as a whole? Though I’m not entirely sure why it’s caressing Kaneki’s face so gently.
All I can really say I’m almost sure of is that V will be making a significant reappearance, especially since they will be more vital to Furuta now than ever, now that he’s lost his position of power within the CCG which was his main tool.
