Uh... Chapter 57 is ready!
Wasn't feeling very inspired, but that's probably the prettiest Sabito I've drawn so far! (Yoriichi Type Zero on the other hand...)

Pope Leo XIV wrote 42.3K words on human dignity in the age of AI. (But Ellipsus has written over 65K words on the topic since 2023. ๐ช)
Solidarity is a weird thingโฆ all of a sudden youโre seeing the Pope on your dash and the tea isโฆ piping hot? (To offset the Vatican.va link, here's a tl;dr from The Onion.) ... Look at him go!
(Disagreements with his Holiness aside, itโs great to see a powerful figure power taking the side of the people.) ... EDIT: Wake up babe, a new Inquisition just dropped:
Some OC stuff I've made during this first half of the year
Finally managed to put this into paper ~ man, love Saint Seiya's armors but they're a pain to draw (and design)
Part one of my KnY x SS AU! I've just grown way too fond of the water trio, they deserve more fun AUs being able to stick together.
For this AU, it will probably be subjected to further changes, but so far the core idea is that the Hashira (+ some other characters) after the final battle get tossed to the SS universe to act as extra backup for Athena and her bronze saints.
I think some cloths don't have a canon rank, since in some iterations they're silver cloths while in others they're bronze, so I'm taking a ton of creative liberties.
Makomo got the Vulpecula (Fox) cloth, Giyuu got the Cetus (Whale) cloth and Sabito got the Lepus (Hare) cloth! I struggled really hard to find some decent references for the Fox and Hare cloths since they've been mostly used by background characters, so I ultimately took plenty of creative liberties for them, mostly for Makomo, considering most of the Amazons (female saints) armors usually have less elements. For the Whale cloth I made some smaller changes on the kneecaps and headwear to make it less clunky.
In an unusual instance (and probably due to Kagaya's influence after his arrival there), these three have managed to stick and train together to gain the right to wear their cloths. They might not wield swords here, but it doesn't mean they can't adapt their breathing techniques and forms to be used with the aid of cosmos and their cloths.
Since they probably earned their cloths some years before Seiya and the other bronze saints got into the tournament, I'd guess Makomo and other female slayers had to use the masks that female saints usually wear by tradition. As the story progresses they probably find some loophole to get rid of them :P
do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so ๐ก" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!
Me with the notes for the IT SSV arc chapter notes:
Ch 54
"... And Senjuro gets a sword"
(Senjuro did not get a sword)
Ch 55
[Senjuro gets his sword]
(Senjuro did not get his sword yet)
Me squinting at Ch 56 notes: Will Senjuro finally get his sword?
Update: He got the sword!
Btw, Chapter 56 is finally ready!
Byelingual moment while writing IT Chapter 56. It just made me giggle how the more I reread it, the worse it seems to me LMAO
Kind of reminded me of that post (can't remember if it was on Tumblr or X) about how when you're bilingual sometimes your brain sort of thinks about numbers in your native language so in your mind you can be like "Ah yeah, she's diecisiete (17) years old"
(IT Spoilers for the upcoming chapter, I guess, the dialogue has already been edited)
Wasn't sure what to draw for this chapter so... have a Tanjiro reading Haganezuka's letters. (I sometimes still need to remind me he has long hair in this AU ^^U)
Uh... btw, Chapter 55 is finally ready!

Going back to my AUs rambling post, another one that has been living rent-free in my mind for the last week or so has been a Saint Seiya x KnY AU. SS was the very first shonen I watched and though I'm not that involved with all the spin-offs I keep it very close to my heart.
Problem is the power scale is crazy imbalanced between series LMAO. My current solution is some transmigration shenanigans where the Hashira (+ Kanae, Sabito and Makomo because I grew attached to them being alive) somehow get tossed to the SS universe as saints and might or might not have a side plot going on in parallel to the og story? Like I'm also doing some research on the cloths that exist within the universe to see which could fit them. So far I feel most would be silver saints (though I giggle at the thought of Sanemi and/or Obanai being a little salty if they're bronze saints and they find out Giyuu is a silver saint lol).
Might need to binge watch Saint Seiya again to get a better idea of what to do on better detail but so far I think I might be onto something.
-aggresively tosses this AU to their pile of ever growing AUs-
OC lore dump, GI Edition (Part 2)
The last post turned to be pretty lengthy, and I felt it was unfair to leave thse two at the very bottom. Although they don't have such a polished lore as the burdeon trio, I have a soft spot for them.
Same disclaimer and broader notes from this post.
OC lore dump, I guess? (GI Edition)
I've been feeling like sharing some insight about some OCs I have kept mostly to myself. Though I really enjoy creating characters, I'm actually rather shy when it's about fandom OCs, idk why. So, although my hype for Genshin Impact has been decreasing over the past year or so, I like the effort I put to plan these characters, and it'd be a shame to keep them locked in my metaphorical basement. So here we go.
Small disclaimer, most of the information explored below comes from a rather surface-level insight at times, and although I was born and have lived all my life in Mexico, be aware not every people's experience can be applied to everyone, moreso in such a big and diverse country.
Reblog if you don't use Generative AI to write fanfics/original fics or to create fanart/original art.
I've been thinking so many different KnY AUs...
Like... I'm still figuring out how could I expand the KnY x HnK AU, I have more or less some ideas settled regarding how gems/slayers and lunarians/demons would be structured but I still need to polish some details.
But I've also been having this Funger AU(s) in mind (mostly as an excuse to draw some of the characters as monsters cuz I love the moonscorched designs from the second game).
Also the ol' classic Swap AU, I have a one shot still in WIP status and other ideas drafted (in my mind)
Also also, the Merging Currents oneshots, I have some ideas of what I want to explore from the alternate timelines in oneshots. Plus there's this very fun AU with the youngest Kamado siblings as the survivors that we came up with in the IT Fluxer server.
Also also also! There's this everybody lives AU I have in mind where all of Urokodaki's students survived and they're a powerhouse of a clan within the corps and they all proudly wear their kitsune masks to conceal their identities (somehow that AU spiraled and we have the Kamado family surviving and joining the corps too, Tanjuro became a pillar and Muzan got deleted from the server way earlier but for plot shenanigans demons still exist)
Might arrange a masterlist of AUs sometime later, some are very random and others I'd love to make fics or create some visual material -implodes-
Uh... at last, Chapter 54 is ready! I struggled to decide what to draw for this chapter's end notes so here.
I like to imagine Tanjiro was pleasantly surprised when he saw Tamae working in the Water Estate, even if they probably didn't interact much in the Entertainment District, he's happy she seems happy! Momoe feels rather intrigued about him, tho, since she's mostly heard from the water triad about his role in the fight but never imagined he'd look so... young.
More old Genshin stuff because I forgot most of it lol these are from 2024 if I recall correctly
Some of the claymore boys + Bennett & Xingqiu
Some old Genshin stuff I made back in 2023
Ft. Freminet (+Pers!), Baizhu, the Cryo boys and the team that made me finish the 11th level of the Abyss (the farthest I've reached in my lifetime lol)
