Art and Sumikano Brainrot

I obviously have no idea how to use this site / Average yuri fangirl / Sometimes draws / Obsessed with Sumikano Not spoiler free

[aracari39]

Hi, I'm Aracari and I really like Yuri is my Job, especially Sumika and Kanoko. And I'm recently always drawing them.

Got fed up of twitter and the terrible decisions they make so here I ammmm

If this site works for me I guess I'll make this my new home 😁

Still crazy about the fact that both Sumika and Kanoko are officially foxes, that means they can breed 😋😋😋

Someone asked about the source, Fox Sumika is from anime merch official art and Fox Kanoko is from the Blu-ray exclusive manga

Yuri Is My Job ch63

Fun chapter and a great cliffhanger! Most of the other discussions I've seen about the last page seem to believe Sumika is taking down Kanoko's photo because she's about to turbodump her, but I'm not really sure that's the case here.

excuse me while I talk on fast forward a bit and point to a chalkboard a lot:

From an objective standpoint, Kanoko's behavior has absolutely undermined the trust in their relationship. But I don't think Sumika is looking at this from an objective standpoint, she's looking at it as someone who has been crushing on Kanoko for a while now.

Sumika is definitely coming into this relationship with an "I can fix her" mindset, and Kanoko being hopelessly tangled up over Hime is not news to her. There's also Sumika telling Kanoko "I won't ever push you away again, so don't you run away either, Kanoko-chan" or calling their outing a date to Kanoko's face the next morning, which I don't think are really signs that Sumika is wavering in this relationship. If anything, the idea that there's a breakup inbound sorta reads as wishful thinking that she'll go back to Nene, despite it being less than a day after reconciling over earth that Nene burned and salted years ago. Even during their date, Sumika is still trying to work out if she's even friends with Nene again.

Anyway, I think the reason Sumika is taking down that picture is because she finally is seeing Kanoko make that smile at her. A visual collage to make the point:

I think Sumika is feeling hopeful at the end of the chapter. Her biggest desire for the last four volumes is seeing Kanoko smile at her like she does for Hime, and now it's happening. She doesn't need a picture of Kanoko smiling for Hime to feel close anymore, she can just be close to Kanoko instead.

I kinda feel like the relationship drama that's brewing is less with missed timing on catching feelings for one another, and more that they're incompatible with one another in their current mindsets. Sumika generally has a good head on her shoulders, but I think her overbearing tendencies are going to pigeonhole Kanoko as "victim" and stifle the growth she's starting to show. Kanoko's love language seems to be service, and every time she's asked what she can do for Sumika in this chapter, she's basically been shot down with "a relationship isn't a debt". I honestly love this ship but there are going to be a lot of growing pains if this goes the way I suspect it's going.

Jealous Kanoko being the most replayed moment is just plain cruel 😆

[aracari39]

Replayed here 1000 times for that Sumikano moment 😳😳

Alright, finished getting caught up on reading the manga to Yuri is My Job! since the anime is down to the last episode.

Miman is absolutely the type of author that loves to torture her characters nonstop. I saw someone describe it as an angst typhoon and they are correct. It being labeled as a comedy is absolutely wrong as it’s 80% drama. Every other chapter felt like I was getting (emotionally) stabbed, shot and/or run over by a truck.

10/10, legit might be my all time favorite yuri series. I’ve gone from kind of annoyed that people are ignoring it to being very mad.

[jjs-brainrot]

Yuri is My Job! is probably the most “Wow this is beyond fantastic and unfortunately a lot of people lack the media or genre literacy to appreciate it” I felt about anything I’ve read/watched in a long while…

Finally drew these designs! And also finally drew some Sumikano. Perspective on this one nearly killed me and it still looks super wonky, sorry...

Happy birthday to Sumika's girlfriend 🎂🎈🎊

A note to all creatives:

Right now, you have to be a team player. You cannot complain about AI being used to fuck over your industry and then turn around and use it on somebody else’s industry.

No AI book covers. No making funny little videos using deepfakes to make an actor say stuff they never did. No AI translation of your book. No AI audiobooks. No AI generated moodboards or fancasts or any of that shit. No feeding someone else’s unfinished work into Chat GPT “because you just want to know how it ends*” (what the fuck is wrong with you?). No playing around with AI generated 3D assets you can’t ascertain the origin of. None of it. And stop using AI filters on your selfies or ESPECIALLY using AI on somebody else’s photo or artwork.

We are at a crossroad and at a time of historically shitty conditions for working artists across ALL creative fields, and we gotta stick together. And you know what? Not only is standing up for other artists against exploitation and theft the morally correct thing to do, it’s also the professionally smartest thing to do, too. Because the corporations will fuck you over too, and then they do it’s your peers that will hold you up. And we have a long memory.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking “your peers” are only the people in your own industry. Writers can’t succeed without artists, editors, translators, etc making their books a reality. Illustrators depend on writers and editors for work. Video creators co-exist with voice actors and animators and people who do 3D rendering etc. If you piss off everyone else but the ones who do the exact same job you do, congratulations! You’ve just sunk your career.

Always remember: the artists who succeed in this career path, the ones who get hired or are sought after for commissions or collaboration, they aren’t the super talented “fuck you I got mine” types. They’re the one who show up to do the work and are easy to get along with.

And they especially are not scabs.

*that’s not even how it ends that’s a statistically likely and creatively boring way for it to end. Why would you even want to read that.

Kanoko's a little animal that needs to be protected

What high schooler holds their bag straps with two hands 😭😭😭

The later chapters of Watayuri gave me SumiKano brainrot, I want the world for these two
