The sad thing about Teru is that he does have free time, he could go to the park and the karaoke and night clubs, no one would forbid him after his work is done: He isn't a child anymore, nor does he have present parents to question why he came home late.

This picture always fuck me up, cause it feels like his attempt to do just that.

He is in his work uniform but his sword is bagged, he doesn't have to go anywhere. He even have a can of coffee so the plan is to stay awake after work, but despite probably craving to play in the swings for a while he doesn't look happy in the slightest: A swing isn't fun if you are too big to sit on it and there is no one to swing with.

It's just miserable compared to how fun normal kids playing on the swings must look:

His problem is that he tend to have free time when everyone is asleep.

It's one of the biggest reasons why despite the awkward vibes, and the inconvinient time, he tries to invite Aoi to hang out.

And there is no rush when he does eventually get her to play with him.

This time he isn't alone though, so he can have fun sleepily making candies in the dead of the night with Aoi.

Considering all this, it makes sense that on his free day, his first action wasn't to go to the arcade, it was to fetch people to go to the arcade with him.

This boy is so unbelivably lonely, he is starved for quality time.

and no one told me I haven't posted this thingie from january

(transcription below) go my timeskip teruaoikanes

1.

teru: oh by the way! did you two know that when you go to an ice rink, you must walk to the rink's center without any support and do three deep bows in the direction opposite to the current sun's position?

aoi: precisely three of them.

teru: exactly, that way, you can appease the ice spirit exactly, that way, you can appease the ice spirit for the time you're gonna skate, and it'll let you move on your skates without much trouble.

aoi: actually, this is the reason why beople throw that many gifts for figure skaters onto the ice - to help them collect decent offerings to the spirit, so it'll allow them perform difficult jumps without dire consequences.

teru: also, one more important thing! they say that bowing to the spirit at the beginning of an ice rink date can quarantee you not only a successful skating but warmth in the relationship overall!

aoi: right, I almost forgot that. that's because it can be touched by your care for your partner.

teru: he hasn't been doing that ever, has he? tsk-tsk, what an oversight.

2.

teru: how can one not know such a thing, right, Akane-san?

aoi: mhm, Akane-kun doesn't always have the quickest smarts, alas. but we're gonna forgive him, right?

teru: will have to! this time, we shall make an exception, alright.

aoi: gotta be merciful. ^^

akane: sksjskdjdyhthrjrjxscbnx??

Hello! Can you maybe explain how you come up with ideas for your illustrations? I looked at the wip game and they are really beautiful

Hellooo so sorry for the long wait for this answer ToT and tysm this means a lot!

I don't have a specific way I come up with ideas but basically a lot of things I put in there are linked to stuff I like It will be a little bit hard to explain exactly how I come up with ideas without examples so I will put some old illustrations I never got time to explain ^^

Once again, tbhk is a work of fiction so you already got something to work on in my opinion. Characters have themes, objects and images linked to them already. That's something important to me personally.

For example for Aoi I link a lot of things according to the grim reaper arc, her want to disappear, her wish to die etc. Which is why I often represent her with stuff related to Vanities (Vanités) (since 2020 actually lol sorry Aoi)

And once again, there is a whole manga to be based on + AidaIro give us a lot of extra contents so I mix a little bit of everything to come up with ideas

The candle being blown out in direction of Nene is also something I thought of, Akane is the only one who is turning back entirely to look at her but Death Mask is already facing her. Nene is slowly turning back compared to the others students too.

This one too for example is pretty simple but I had fun with my inspirations!

I named it XII (12) referencing Akane's age when he became a clock keeper, you can see that his tie takes the place of the last mark on the clock. Exactly at the 6:30 mark, which is where the hands of the clock are when he stops time.

Which is by the way, an impossible time to obtain on a clock. The two hands cannot be placed like this, it's more the contrary of 12am/pm rather than 6:30, which represents really well for me the idea to Stop Time and Akane's contradicting existence as a clock keeper.

I made sure his hands were visible too in this position. To see that he is kinda see through, and because 12 is the number that was chosen to count time, because that's how you count it on your hands. It's from a sexagesimal system that comes from the Mesopotamians. Basically you use the phalanx on your 4 fingers to count so 4x 3= 12. (and then you use the fingers on you other hands to multiply it, so 5x12 = 60)

I am not 100% sure about this explanation, because different explanations exist from different archeologs, but that's what I had in mind when doing this one! (Akanes' existence as a clock keeper, the idea of the present, and Time are stuff I REALLY like which is also why he gets a lot of illustration x))

One of my fav recent illustration (one year ago rip) is the Piranesi effect one!

For the first one I won't explain all the little details linked to the manga but you can find stuff like Mitsuba's altar next to Kou, details of Akane's rooms, Aoi's balcony, Nene's losing her magatama, the chairs of the clock keepers being reflected on the desk, etc...

And my main inspiration come from ofc Escher and Piranesi, that AidaIro directly mentionned too.

I may be wrong but when I saw this I immediately went 'oh okay this is Escher'. Since he is mostly famous for his impossible architecture, the idea that 'Are you really sure a floor can't also be a ceiling?' and that drawing is a deception.

(who is also the guy who created the Droste effect btw, witch hat atelier fans will know which illustration I am talking about :)))

And also the Penrose stairs which can be seen in movies like Inception. Anyways I love this guy. For this illustration though the title is from Piranesi, an architect who also did impossible architectures too, mostly known for his serie of Italian jails.

The note 'Feeling of unease and ambiguity, of Things out of place and time' is from a book that recount Piranesi works called 'The Piranesi effect' I just thought that the sentence represented well this kind of things. It also for me links to the feeling you can have while reading 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke (which will be adapted in an animation movie by Laika I am vibrating)

It may seems like smoke around Nene and Akane here but it's silver sand as described in chapter 125 too.

In the end I didn't make a lot of references to Escher and Piranesi but doing a layout that worked with the idea of walls and ceilings being mixed was already hard enough XDD I had a lot of fun with it mostly and I've been a fan of those two artists since middle school so it was mostly my love for their work that inspired me to do an artwork that took me a lot more reflections.

I do really simple stuff too with some ideas even if it doesn't really go in the way I want.

(Tsukasa, incredible on this blog I know)

The red house had always remind me of the book 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski and I linked it here to the short movie 'Falling Leaves' by Alice Guy. Where it tells the story of two sisters. One of them is really ill and the doctor announced that she will die by the time the last leave falls. Her little sister then began to attach the leaves back on the tree, to prevent her sister from dying.

The movie is really different from anything fomr tbhk ofc but I liked the idea so I tried something (I think it's really ugly in the end but you get the idea)

This one really is just 'Visual novels are cool and I like the song 'Song for all my lost ghost friends' XD Nothing more, Music influence me a lot too.

The only thing you can see is the little attributes next to Nene changing according to what is happening in the manga. Here she has a little lightning bolt because she has Kou's staff in her hands in the manga (chapter 3)

Once again the manga also gave us a lot of really cool scene that you can re interpret!

This one really is just chapter 118 in a different angle ahah

Idk if I really answered the questions but basically it's 'yo this seems cools/fun to do' most of the time :'))

Sometimes there is not directly inspirations but just, random thoughts from my mind and I mix everything. I really like slice of life fictions for example which made me create a whole au, and makes me draw a lot of little objects (mostly traditionnaly) etc

If you like something, if you're passionate about something, don't be shy about it in my opinion, you can mix it with what you draw! It will always be really fun to do!

Thank you sm for the question and so sorry for the long answer XDD I hope I gave you some ideas!

Also to note that where I'm coming from definitely influence my inspirations too. Doing researches is cool when you don't know some symbolism but I am gotta be really honest and sometimes I just vibe and it's really personal interpretations that can be seen through what I like, because my main focus is to have fun.

(disclaimer: ofc it depends on what you draw there are subjects where you can't can't just go and be ignorant about it because it directly impacts people! but that's not what I am talking about, it's mostly stuff like, wow I take signification for flowers from France rather than Japan. And If I come of as ignorant or insensitive I am all ears to advice and criticism)
