i wanted to draw something more than those old chibis for my royal fantasy AU before i start posting the fic but was like⦠MEH⦠lazy and artblockedā¦. iāll draw something simple and throw some ready-made assets on it, i donāt care
just takao and kai for now (yes itās kai even though heās red. this is a fantasy AU after all) takao is the laid-back seiryuu-ou a.k.a king of the country of east who doesnāt look or act like a king, and kai is the suzaku-ou of the country of south whoās a total mystery to everyone and all thatās really known about him is that heās the leader of the army.
more fashionably late @may-blade stuff, all the way back for day 5 prompt "cards". in my language the suits of cards are called countries so. four countries, four kings, it's almost like i have a fic about it.......
this was surprisingly hard to put together, i thought it would be easier when i started but turns out i don't know how to plan what im actually going to draw and how it's gonna look like side-by-side when finished the drawing app i use really hates having lots of layers. or maybe my tablet just doesn't have the power for it
sorry for the ridiculous long images that work kinda poorly on tumblr. i didn't want to put them in a row individually because then people would scroll for like five minutes to get past and we all got better things to do
Who is draftworu?
Draftworu/Draft Kaworu is the, as the title states, the draft version of Kaworu. How he was handled in the drafts is a bit different than in the final cut. There are two drafts of ep 24. In order to prevent confusion, especially since Iāll be comparing these to the final cut, the drafts will be marked as D1 (First Draft) and D2 (Second Draft), respectively.
Hereās a few differences in each:
Kaworu in the first draft is a bit different in how he introduces himself. He comes from a train, meeting Shinji there (heās with Ritsuko). In the final cut, heās on a headless angel statue (which was foreshadowing) humming and lauding music in front of Shinji. His hair is described as the color of honey in the drafts; he also sports a sailor outfit. In D2, Kaworuās in the Gym, by himself, playing the piano. In both of these drafts, Kaworu is a transfer student.
In D2, thereās automatic suspicion of Draftworu from Fuyutsuki, who automatically believes the Fifth Child to be a spy from SEELE.Ā
In the original draft also Asuka appears to be around here, rather than in the final cut in which sheās not present (it was discovered she was comatose by episodeās end). In this draft, she interacts with Kaworu. Her sync scores arenāt up to par here. D2 follows the general layout of final cut 24 as Asuka doesnāt interact with Kaworu. Sheās starved herself here just as she was in the final cut.
Both of them swim together in D1. In D2, theyāre in the shower room.Ā Ā This can be paralleled with the series in which both are in the shower room.Ā
In D2 Shinji and Kaworu play music together, Kaworu on piano and Shinji on cello. Kaworu and Shinji share a kiss here!
Thereās more suspicion in D2 over who Kaworu is as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls being known by Misato + Hyuga. There is one last angel and Kaworuās birthday is found out to be the same day as Second Impact/2i by the duo, same as the final cut.
His invasion of Terminal Dogma goes a bit differently in the first draft. Here he has an angel form, something not shown in the series, which his humanoid form was his angel form. Heās not even aware of his abilities in D1, but he had full awareness in the final. The angel form he assumes in D1 has a noticeable core.Ā
Ā One thing I like in the drafts is that it talks about his identity as an angel and him finding this out at age 10 in Draft #1. In the present day, heās just beginning to realize that he has an angel form he can transform in and out of at will. His altruism is present within either draft, but one thing which went absent in the final was the mention of anĀ āinstinct.ā Kaworuās request to have Shinji kill him not only was for humanity but because if his instinct fired off, heād basically make a beeline toward Adam (which he does). Itās quite likely a mother-child instinct, considering he was next to his progenitor.Ā
More Draftworu can be find in⦠of course the drafts and more info can be found on Draftworu here. Enjoy!
still came back for a second one, though
This Kaworu and Asuka interaction in the new short has me in tears
Are you fucking with me right now?!?!
they're poly to me
God bless this series
Why is Kantarou so smol? Haruka towers over him magnificently (god do I love the height difference).
Also it'll never not be funny that Haruka, the onikui tengu that is millenia of years old, wears the newer available western clothes and Kantarou, a human that is roughly mid-20s, wears more traditional Japanese attire. Seeing as Tactics takes place during the Taisho era, there is probably commentary here that I am not smart enough to try to explain.

I guess it was inevitable that if I kept digging at the intersection of sex and food, at some point I was going to land on homoerotic cannibalism š
im going to explode i need the baby bakura ššš i have a yamiba nui already but⦠tiny babieā¦
Omg so precious š
You know, if I had a nickel for every time there was an anime with a grumpy guy with a chip on his shoulder that is more or less dragged into friendship by a blue haired protagonist originally against their tsundere wills, is often shown with a red motif, and is named Kai. I would have 2 nickels.
Which isn't a lot but strange that it's happened twice.
takao and kai from my tale of 4 kingdoms AU, for an art trade with @grab-my-digits-dude who is definitely the only person weird- i mean sweet enough to want an art trade about an AU of mine?? so hereās takao terrorizing kaiās personal space as usual.
Iāve been crying over this all day!! Look at them!! Misiās au will be the death of me <333 Also high ponytail Takao has sent me to the stars and back!!Ā
I am Beyblade trash.
So, literally 10 years ago, I was super into Beyblade. I used to sneak downstairs and watch it on Toonami between 1 and 3 in the morning pretty much every night. I was always really annoyed because they only ever showed the first half of the last season (which was G Revolution. Itās 50 episodes longā¦) and then reset it to the start of season one. I never saw the end of it. But yesterday, while I was drawing, I was bored and I decided, fuck it, Iām gonna watch Beyblade. I donāt care if Iām a grown ass 23 year old woman, I wanna watch fucking Beyblade. I donāt even know why. So I binge watched 30 episodes. Thatās like, what, 10 hours? I am absolute trash. Still not at the end of the season thoughā¦Ā
Trust me, almost the entirety of beyblade fandom on Tumblr can be summed up as twenty somethings that call themselves beyblade trash so youāre definitely not alone.
Shout out to all the single 20-something-year-old ladies ruined by Beyblade and Yu-gi-oh! and their unrealistic expectations of love and friendship.
im probably the fandom grandma @ 25 lmao I recently binge watched season 1 subbed and im hopping someone does G Rev subs
Im the 27 year old in the fandom who is on and off watching again.Ā
dudeā¦. im 24 and jordon just turned 26 and I Just got into the fandom like a year and a half ago⦠Iām p sure most of us are between 22-28 lmao
I turned 24 today and am still Beyblade trash after 3 years of being in the fandom
I remember watching OG beyblade as it was airing in the early 2000s. Im in my 30s. . .
Still have all of my hasbro beyblades from that era too because I never threw shit away.
