Thank you so so so so so so much for the tbiz chronological reblog! Your art is how I first came across this ship and it’s so beautiful! I honestly don’t even have the words to describe how amazing your art is, I cannot stop going over it again and again! 💕

Awww I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! There's a large handful of stuff I didn't include in the chrono reblog tag, but presumably if you've been perusing any of the tags in my pinned post you should be able to find the rest :)

Thank you for the kind message <3

[beemosketches]

i agree with the rotate in the microwave guy thank you for the delicious tobiizu reblogs om nom nom nom

incredible, fantastic, i'm very delighted to know you enjoyed the food 😂💕👍

[beemosketches]

aaaaaaahhh!!! i'm so happy you're reblogging all your tobiizu because it's on my dash and i get to see it again!

awww 💕🥺💕 glad you enjoyed!

I just. really wanted to have my comic posts in continuous-scroll-order on the blog before moving on. it was either spin up an archive blog or say "fuck it" and set up the queue. and. here we are.

cheers

[beemosketches]

Thank you so much for bringing onto my dash your work again, I am now rotating tobizu in my brian on a microwave plate 🫡 I love your characterization of them so much, reading your comics makes me feel warm in my heart in a way only a fanarts can

aghhh so glad you enjoyed 💕 we love to Rotate Them On A Plate 🤝

and ngl it was a nostalgia trip for me--this whole reblog bit was me channeling my inner scrapbooker. I've ordered my stuff under the #tobiizu chrono reblog tag in a very intentional way that is pleasing to me. It also made me contemplate how my digital art journey went hand in hand with my exploration of tobiizu headcanons over the years...I think it's fair to say I've come a long way from my first ever post on this blog 🥲

cheers

[beemosketches]

the answer is "yes"

AU note: the sharingan doesn't appear very well in light, but bring it into shadow and you can see the red glow if it is active (just because I thought it'd look neat this way)

both of them, grumpy in the cold, thinking: he is the worst

snowy thoughts in mid-may

honorable mention to the #cold weather series tag...

[beemosketches]

headcanon time!

This is a simple hand-warming trick that Tobirama has seen Izuna do to placate the elderly and delight young children during the winter. So what, then, does that make him when Izuna offers to warm his hands?

Old and infirm? Young and helpless? Is he being insulted? Is he too proud to indulge in a small offer of comfort?

Well. Maybe if he places his hands into Izuna's, he can figure out how the damn jutsu works. And if, in the meantime, his frigid fingers get warmed up while they're out on a mission in the bitter cold, that's just a bonus.

Founders Week, Day 1: lingerie | reincarnation | unlikely friendships/relationships

@foundersweek

Headcanon ramble thoughts below cut:

everything about their friendship/relationship is unlikely (don't mind me, obsessed with their what-ifs)

more to come on what the "katon blade" refers to

yes...they are sitting in a tree, aren't they?

if they are admitting battlefield annoyances in amiable fashion over a meal, methinks they are firmly in the friendship classification

however!

the "katon blade" in this AU is a pretty notorious entry in Izuna's jutsu repertoire

and Izuna's answer referring to Tobirama's suiton in general means that

both of them gave pretty noncommittal answers

paranoid ninja gonna be paranoid ninja

two sides of the same coin, aka mutual idiots

heavily inspired by Gravity of Tempered Grace by @silver-studios - (I sketched this comic out in a frenzy after catching up on the latest chapters..........)

worried

(This was a man that could send Izuna to an early grave by exasperation alone.)

TobiIzu Countdown Comic

(all parts compiled in order)

many thanks to MagritteE, @denialcity, and @sukea69 for beta feedback

my take on a tobiizu slow burn, enemies-to-comrades-to-friends-to-idiots-to-lovers story, told in narrated montage comic, complete with mutual pining and impending-peril-as-motivation-to-finally-get-together

consider this the AU where Izuna lives because he's wearing armor to what was canonically his last battle (see first panel)

this was written to be read somewhat seamlessly, however, each POV can mostly be read standalone as well.

Founders Week, Day 2: Cultural Difference | Fire & Forest | A Sign of Loyalty

(the perception of lacking loyalty)

@foundersweek

Late to Day 2, but I forgive myself because this was a lot of panels.

Featuring!! An EXTREMELY self-indulgent AU, there are so many headcanons going on in this comic, it'll have to be a separate reblog

The basics of the AU: peaceful, everyone lives and is happy because I need more fluff in my life, and also TobiIzu

Imaginary bonus points to you if you recognize the rookie

[beemosketches]

In the most tragic of slow burn AUs, the closest they get to admitting feelings is one bloody hand hold at the very end.
