Let It Consume You | link

When I first pitched the idea of a Kaishin murder mystery inspired by the classic Noir films of the ‘30s for this year's Kaishin Big Bang 2024, I had no idea that this would be the direction this project would go in. It’s grown into a world and story I never thought I’d have the chops to visually develop, all thanks to the hard work of the incredible @kinsdura in bringing this story to life on paper and bearing with my crazy ideas. Most of the work has been quite technical and bts, but it has truly been a team effort to get this done.

Let It Consume You has become a collaboration I can definitely say I am very proud of. As always, thank you to Mac @kaishinbigbang for hosting this wonderful event! Additionally, I want to take the time to hype up our story, the link to which is here! You won’t regret having a look at @kinsdura’s fic; it’s a joy to read and full of suspense, great pacing, and a flirtatiously dangerous predator-and-prey dynamic between Kaito and Shinichi.

This will not be the last you will hear of LICU! Hope to continue developing our little harbour town and this au into something we can all step back and appreciate in the future :) Maybe I’ll post those too 😂

trying to fill out the chargers' ranks for my fic is sooo. ok we have our main seven chargers, obviously; bull, krem, stitches, dalish, skinner, rocky, and grim. we also see a handful of other chargers when we meet them in the storm coast. but also there's a bunch more and i have no idea how many there should be. filling out a faction is all fun and games until u. surprise. have to fill out the faction.

comic vision by @misterstrawberrypwpw !!! ^^ I was so moved by her most recent comic, it gave me the want to draw it in my own way. Here's that!! (+little bonus alt below)

an alt for a not bloody version of yuu... the point of the comic is how shunkun ends up coping in dreams, but even then I myself had to cope and thus. no blood alt

hi hi!! i was replaying the wedding dlc and something strange happened. when inviting family and friends for wedding , pamela was not invited somehow?

i usually like to change up the wedding parties each time I play and I've done one play before where pamela wasn't in my MC's wedding party but she was invited by cove instead.

this time though (expecting cove to invite her) i didn't invite pamela again , and when we visited moms' place to invite , only ma was invited and there was an extra dialogue of "how mom didn't seem upset" and like that

i am confused , why didn't cove invite her or is there a specific combo of party invitations that will prevent cove to invite her

for more info , i had invited lee as my maid of honour , and Liz , neolani , Derek were part of my wedding team.

Hi hi~! How it works is like this...

Since Cove's best man will always be Cliff, he'll be out of the running for the wedding parties; also excluded is whoever MC picks as their party lead.

The MC, being the first to pick who they want in their wedding party, can then choose up to four people, and Cove's will go off of the ones they don't pick. If the MC picks three or four people, Cove's party will have three people, but if they pick two people, Cove's will also have two, and it continues being equal with the MC picking one (so Cove's will also have just one).

The order in which Cove picks his wedding party is based on a priority list that goes like so (in order of highest to lowest priority): Kyra -> Terry -> Miranda -> Derek -> Noelani -> Pamela -> Liz -> Lee

Thus, if the MC doesn't pick Kyra, Terry, or Miranda, those three will be Cove's choices no matter what, which is what happened to you.

So if I, for example, pick Kyra (as the party lead), Terry, Miranda, Noelani, and Liz, then Cove will always choose Derek, Pamela, and Lee in that order. If I instead pick Terry (as the party lead), Liz, Pamela, and Derek, then Cove will pick Kyra, Miranda, and Noelani in that order, thus leaving Liz out of either party due to being the lowest priority on Cove's list considering I already chose Lee.

In celebration of it having been a year since I watched Rise for the first time (the actual anniversary was in mid October but it’s fine) I redrew the first fanart I posted here! A whole year of ninja turtles brainrot <3

[little-eye-guy]

here's the major stages that both of these went through... plus some thoughts under the cut

My original idea was to illustrate Nud's sense psychic mutation by having the scan lines interrupted in some way (which didn't end up happening but that's ok)

The mystery psychic was just going to be a generic thing, but I was having trouble with the background and wanted something more specific, which ended up as Haggabah, the invisible troll in Bethesda Susa. It would 1) be easier to draw something concrete and 2) be something recognizable. But I couldn't figure out the perspective and got frustrated lol

Eventually though I was able think up a better way to do it and here we are

At the same time I was working on the thumbnail for that one I decided I wanted to draw something of Yro too, so I went with how they died. That first sketch attempt was so boring that I got disheartened and didn't touch it again for a good while, much like the start of Nud's piece

When I got back to it, I did a second thumbnail and thought it would be cool if the salt kraken was bursting out of the frame, but then I didn't know how to treat the main background vs the outer one—I guess I could've done transparent but I like the solid viridian

It did take a while to figure out exactly how the style would work, but I think it came together great in the end. And then I was able to work on the other drawing with more confidence

I started these around the first week of October, finished Yro's on Nov 23, and finished Nud's finally on Dec 27

anyone remember that "everyone should have a personal miku design" thing

[fandom-penguin]

yeah those are some incredibly Damien picks

[bacchuschucklefuck]

the one thing amiss from nsbu's concept and the general isekai/modern jumanji medias in general is the fact that in the original jumanji all that shit happened in the real life town. people died for real. we need to bring funny games (1997) to the tabletop scene

random sleep headcanon time let's go

when the boys aren't sleeping with Javi's head laying on Kieran's chest (yep, that was me!), they're spooning. Javier is the little spoon. Kieran will never admit it was almost entirely a bid to stop falling off the bed in the middle of the night (they both shift around a lot)

Kieran picked up a bit of Spanish while he was in the army, so when he and Javier are both a little bit sleep deprived and a bit more drunk they're giggling and gossiping about the rest of the gang

Javier is NOT a morning person and it's only when he gets older does he somewhat begin to tolerate them. if only to get more cuddle time with his hubby and see the sunrise splash across Kieran's face

Kieran is a bit of a blanket hog which is fine most of the time bc Javi runs warm and it's only in the winter that it becomes a problem because Javier hates the cold

(slaps roof of car) these bad boys can fit SO many nightmares in them. it's very rare they wake up thrashing and screaming tho. mostly their eyes shoot open and they tense up for a few moments, and many times one has woken up to the other staring at them, checking their pulse. bone-crushing cuddles and tea ensue.

(good ending/modern) have fun getting out of bed in the morning when your cats have found the exact locations and positions to make slipping out of bed impossible without waking someone up. Kieran spends about an extra 10 minutes in bed every morning trying to escape when Javier is wrapped around him, one cat is loafed on his chest, another one is curled up between his legs, and his arm has gone numb under the third. he wouldn't change a thing <3

FALLS TO MY KNEES YOURE SO RIGHT THESE ARE SO CUTE WAAAAHHHH 💔💔💔💔☹️☹️☹️☹️

personally i do believe that they swap back and forth on who’s the big spoon and who’s the little spoon but most of the time javier is indeed the little spoon. mostly because their height difference makes it the most comfortable but also because javi will prop his leg up on kieran like this in his sleep and sometimes it will make him wake up with terrible back pain so to avoid it, kieran gets big spoon privileges

also i think javier would really begin to enjoy being the little spoon after ch4 because while he can’t directly listen to kieran’s heartbeat, he can squeeze in tight and feel it on his back, and combining that with the warmth of kieran’s body and the heat of his breathing on his scalp, it’s just as comforting.

on the spanish note, i’ve been becoming more and more fond of the idea of kieran having a baseline understanding of spanish … at first i was leaning towards him not knowing a lick, just so javi can have language privacy for when he has his dramatic moments, but now it’s almost canon to me that kieran could at the very least navigate himself through a situation in which spanish is the only language the people around him could speak. though i think most of his gossip is going to be spanglish LOL which is even cuter to me 💔 (insert toby fox “toho project” accent changes) javier teaches him more and more words and they get more and more mean girl-y the more “privacy” they have in those conversations. they’re so cute 💔💔💔

“many times one has woken up to the other staring at them, checking their pulse” i have to d*e that makes me SO MISERAVLE BECAUSE YOURE RIGHT especially javier, not only because he’s almost explicitly lost kieran once, but also because he’s literally lived his entire life up until now dedicated to protecting the lives of those he loves (ie; fleeing to america to protect his family, not himself). so of course the first thing he’s going to do when he wakes up in fight or flight is to make sure the reason he is living is still alive. if kieran is still breathing, then javier is too. i can see javier curling up tight with his head on kieran’s chest, letting the rhythm of his heart ground him. kieran wakes up from nightmares cold and alone and he can’t see the world around him. he’ll gasp like he can’t breathe and sit up and pull his knees to his chest and, without fail, javier will reach out to his warmth and touch him- more often than not still in his sleep. it’s usually enough to snap kieran out of the flashback, at least to the point where he can grab javi’s hand and pull it up to his face, where he closes his eyes and treads his partners fingertips along his neck and cheeks to ensure to himself that he’s okay and safe. even if javier wakes up (which, as a man on the run, there’s no way he’d sleep through it), he’ll stay slack, watching kieran’s face slowly soften and his breathing slow enough that he won’t at least pass out. you’re entirely correct that following this, they hold each other tight, make sure they’re both warm as can be, and they’ll make/get some sort of tea or snack for the other. they don’t talk much, maybe a question here or there about a preference for the comfort but otherwise they just do things that remind the other that they’re both still alive enough to love.

THE LAST ONE OOUGGH YOUR EMAKING ME YHINK ABOUT ME AND JJ’S (rip jj my beloved (they’re not dead just inactive)) CENTURIES OLD MODERN JAVIERAN CAT SANCTUARY AU LOL in every life, javieran have cats. i don’t even think kieran can avoid attracting animals, and javier WILL cause a 10 car pileup on the highway if he sees a cat in need of rescuing. anyway, you’re completely right 😭💔 kieran always gets up first, even on the days that javier has work in the morning, so he’s the one who has to peel himself out of bed away from his fluffy, warm cell. he also has to try to shush two of the cats that begin their loud objections to his abhorrent behavior (of getting up to make coffee) so that they don’t wake javier up. he has to hush them all the way out of the room and into the kitchen, there in which the meowing becomes louder, as they’ve now become demands of compensation via food for waking them up so early. pepita, javier’s cat, always stays in bed with him until he wakes up, no matter what she is enticed with.

oh i love them im going to be sick thank you for sharing your thoughts with me they’re always so sweet 😭💔 u and i we’re the soft, fluffy javieran cavalry
