rain call mechanisms

In pursuit of the true essence of beauty, love, and liberty.

[edgar-rain]

Hi, peaceful traveler! I’m glad you ended up here!

It’s already been a week since I started my journey on Tumblr… Honestly, it’s always a bit nerve-wracking to join new social media platforms. But I decided to go for it, and I hope I’ll be able to become part of our creative community!

A little about me:

My artistic pseudonym is rain call mechanisms. For short, people usually just call me Rain. My pronouns are he/him.

I’m 20+, I graduated from higher art education last year, and currently I work in a creative field as well (maybe sometimes I’ll share interesting things from my job).

I can talk endlessly about topics related to art (for me, it’s literally the meaning of life, and visual art in particular is the most precious thing in the world).

I deeply admire artists who aren’t afraid to experiment, who constantly improve, and who make our world filled with beauty, freedom, and love. After all, what makes a person human, if not their power to create?

At the moment, I mostly create fan works, because it heals my soul and heart, makes me happy, and keeps me mentally stable. Sharing my love for certain things, my thoughts and impressions with the world sounds like a good goal—and maybe someone will resonate with it.

Fandoms I’ll mostly be posting about:

Chainsaw Man

Identity V

Persona 5

Overall, you could say I’m a multifandom artist, although I do get periods of hyperfixation on certain themes.

I’d also love to ask for advice from people who’ve been on Tumblr for a long time. Any information about how to behave there, post formatting tips, or anything like that would be really helpful! 🙏🙏🙏

Also, I don’t quite understand the reblog system… I can see everything people write about my work, but I don’t know how to respond or thank them, even though I really want to 🥹🥹🥹

I’d be grateful for any help from you!

Thank you for your attention!

Call of the Abyss VII AU (Part 1)

Back when COA 7 was released — long before the current COA, where a long-awaited skin for Edgar finally appeared (and in my favorite angelic-divine theme) — the presence of the incredibly beautiful and unique Emil inspired me to come up with a concept for Edgar that would fit into the lore.

Rare Case

I didn’t call the fictional skin "The Left Hand of God" by chance — in my concept, Edgar became one of the sources of a fungal infection, being a popular and well-known artist whose main theme was exposing human vices and delivering a kind of reproach to a society steeped in base sins.

The Deity of the Abyss, in the form of Hastur, deliberately chose him as one of the spreaders of mycelial spores, which was especially ironic given his sincere contempt for fallen humanity. The infection took root in his left hand (since Edgar is left-handed), and the spores settled on his canvases, which later became part of gallery exhibitions, thus infecting curious visitors.

As is known from the lore of COA 7, Emil’s infection began spreading from his throat, but he unexpectedly entered into a kind of symbiosis with the fungus, not dying from its effects like other people.

Thus, in the lore of this AU, they became two unique cases who ultimately ended up surviving together on lands devastated by mycelium…

This isn’t my last post about this AU, so I’ll leave the other details for next time.

That damn Joker doesn’t understand that this is a war, not a game…

Though love is a war, isn’t it?

Emil’s secret fantasies…

But in reality, his relationship with Edgar looks like this:

Well, here I am again with weird random questions...

Tell me, Nat — if you were in the "Chainsaw Man" universe, who would you be? A devil, a hunter? Or someone else?

If this interests you enough, you could even sketch your character! (I like your art style — sorry if I’m being too pushy 🥹)

Hi, Rain!!! Ooo let's see. Realistically I'd probably be a normal civillian LOL... but I think that it'd be very interesting to be a devil hunter.

Decided to go and 'merge' this with a concept I had for some time; Isolation Devil. Not really shown here but if you'd like me to expand on it I wouldn't mind. (And don't worry, I'm glad you ask me stuff because I take soo long to come up with ideas of what to draw,,)

[edgar-rain]

We’ve got a grand exchange of ideas going on here—everyone needs to pay attention immediately.

I’ll be sending a detailed reply soon (this bro has been drawn back into overly detailed answers again, even though up until today he hadn’t even thought about this question)😈😈😈😈

[snunkums]

Yup

Also, since you expanded a lot on your life as a hunter in your reply,,, I guess I'll add some context to mine too :)

I'd be a hunter just for the money, but I'll admit that a tiny bit of it would involve my desire to help others. Being a closed off person, I wouldn't interact much with others, so naturally they'd perceive me as an introvert or a bit of a loner. Really I just have a hard time talking to new people, and like working with myself more as it's easier for me in general.

Embarassing to admit but most probably I'd rely a lot on Devil Contracts to go by, which might be a disadvantage rather than a smart choice. Maybe I'd use a katana or a longsword as a weapon, though my point still stands —— which is something I would only learn later after experiencing it. The 'safest' option sadly wouldn't be the best one to pick every time!

While used to violence, gore and death, I'm still a bit of a scaredy-cat, but my job would be done regardless. Very willing to support my coworkers, of course, just cautious. Life is something precious to me. I think I could relate to Aki in this way ; I may appear more serious on the outside, but I'd be crying like a baby over those close to me.

In every universe, art is my passion.... As a Devil Hunter it'd surely be with less frequency, but still there. It would be something only shown to those I trust. Sketches in-between breaks, etc. Once in a while indulge in writing, too.

Anyway, back to contracts. I think mine with the Isolation Devil would be nice to show how healing connections with other human beings can be, how isolation can be harmful even when we say we like being alone, and whatnot. Chainsaw Man's themes do involve a lot of that, so it's fit in quite nicely.

:)

[edgar-rain]

I’m glad to see more thoughts on this topic!! And you touched on some genuinely important and fascinating themes, Nat. It suddenly made me want to share something about my own experience with isolation.

Overall, I can say that we are genuinely quite similar in our outlook on life, our personalities, and even some of our struggles with social adaptation. I think we could probably work well together as colleagues out of a sense of solidarity and a slightly battle-scarred understanding of each other’s personal boundaries. And also — welcome to the club of cute facial moles 🤝

Honestly, I understand the difficulties of communication very well, because throughout my school and university years I was an extremely socially awkward person, and the topic of isolation is actually very personal and painfully familiar to me.

I remember years when I would avoid attending classes for long periods simply because of how frightening and uncomfortable it felt to leave my shelter. I constantly believed that people silently judged and despised me, that they looked at me like I was trash — and this despite the fact that I was one of the top students academically. I simply could not evaluate my own achievements rationally because of overwhelming anxiety and uncontrollable panic that knew no boundaries.

Only within the last three years or so did I gradually begin taking steps toward overcoming that state, and through constant reflection I discovered many important truths about myself and the world — truths I now regularly try to share in the hope that they might help someone else recognize themselves and see the world differently.

Where I once hated and feared society — seeing it as a single cruel monster against which I stood helpless and cornered in complete solitude, while secretly longing for love and recognition — now I look at the people around me differently.

Now I have entered a different stage of voluntary isolation — the realization of my own self-sufficiency, freedom from dependency, and ultimately an understanding of certain mechanisms of both my own and other people’s psychology.

I look at the world with a certain warmth and affection now, and I want to help it however I can. And I think that would partly be reflected in my character as well.

Let’s say he would begin his career around the age of twenty or twenty-one, still being a withdrawn and angry little savage secretly drawing gay art in his hideout where nobody could see him. But by twenty-five, he would undergo a kind of rebirth — transforming from an ordinary hunter, one of the many who die during their first years of service (thank you to my excessive caution, even with an aggressive combat style), into something closer to a mentor-hunter.

He would still not be an outgoing person, but once interaction began, he would feel like an extremely dependable colleague — someone who would always help and care for others, offer advice, and provide encouragement. That is more or less how my relationships with coworkers are in real life, and it is one of the most wonderful feelings imaginable.

Emotionally, I truly have grown somewhat rougher over the years when it comes to experiencing tragedy, but my emotional intelligence has, paradoxically, become much stronger and more developed. Loss is inevitable, and unfortunately there are moments in life when you simply learn how to keep yourself together and follow the necessary course of action. But that still does not mean those losses are insignificant.

By the way, I really appreciated how honestly you admitted that you might often rely on your contracts with devils — I think that is actually a fairly reasonable decision, especially if you do not feel capable of facing a devil through your own abilities alone and would rather avoid an early trip to the afterlife. Though, of course, devils cannot always guarantee success.

I myself am not exactly athletic, to put it mildly, but if I were a hunter and had the opportunity to train for free within the Bureau, I certainly would not waste it — especially since independence in all possible matters is genuinely one of my priorities.

I would most likely rely on devils rather rarely, using their assistance only in exceptional situations — once again because of my inability to depend on anyone besides myself. Though in teamwork, I imagine that skill is gradually learned and developed.

As for art… I would like to share something I occasionally do as well.

I have wonderful friends, though I do not maintain constant contact with them precisely because I do not feel a need for regular communication. Yet from time to time, I get together with one particularly creative friend of mine for the sake of jointly watching cartoons, films, or series while we draw, make crafts, or engage in any other kind of creative activity we feel like doing. It is incredibly fun and oddly comforting.

And don’t you think it would be charming if some withdrawn hunters with similar creative interests formed a sort of club — perhaps gathering once a month — where they could simply sit together in comfortable silence, tinker with something interesting, laugh quietly, get their little dose of dopamine, and then disappear back into their respective corners until the following month?

To me, that sounds like a genuinely amusing concept — one that contrasts beautifully with the grim reality of their everyday work)))

And now let me bring in a little melancholy — Imagine that this strange little club once consisted of five people, but gradually, with time, only one would continue to show up… And eventually the club would never gather again.

I absolutely adore these Chainsaw Man contrasts, where in one moment something absurdly hilarious is happening, and in the next everything turns into unbearable tragedy that cuts straight into the heart. It is shameless emotional manipulation — and yet it works so incredibly well.

Returning to the subject of isolation, I think this would actually create a very interesting contrast and serve as a revealing narrative moment.

A person who began their journey surrounded by deep loneliness and emptiness — convinced that nobody in the entire world could ever understand them (the classic romantic hero) — eventually finds a partner in someone who shares similar values and interests, yet exists within a somewhat different form of isolation.

Someone who has evolved from being “an unnecessary person” into an entirely different mode of perception.

And together, both of them learn the same lesson — what it truly means to be human in this insane world.

[snunkums]

Same!! I did notice that our views on life and other things are quite similar. I'm sure we could work nicely as a team! 🫶🏼

I'm glad you're getting better now and able to overcome your social struggles. It's pretty easy to see how emotionally intelligent you are and how you've been shaped as a person by your experiences, and I think it's truly beautiful that you try to help others that feel the same ; Like, I was, too, a very anxious and socially awkward person, and believed everything and everyone was against me - I still struggle with that sometimes, even.

And what you do with your friend sounds so fun!

I also really like how Chainsaw Man generally has very contrasting scenes. One second, it's all giggles. The next, bawling uncontrolably. It's something that always keeps me on the edge of my seat. So I think a little art club between the Devil Hunters would be awesome! They know they won't live long and that danger is always near, so those little moments of bliss would for sure be appreciated. And then the tragedy of them disappearing one by one... oof.

The two of them, lonely people, finding solace in eachother and learning what it means to be human and sharing that... ah, that sounds so sweet. Very interesting.

[edgar-rain]

Socially anxious people, unite!!!

In my opinion, this is one of the best feelings imaginable — having the opportunity to find support and understanding from different corners of the world. It is a deeply inspiring feeling!

Thank you for such kind words. Conversations this sincere are one of those things that make our world better and more honest. I believe we should never be afraid of ourselves or our feelings — provided, of course, that our desires do not come at the expense of other people’s rights and freedoms.

Perhaps later, when I have more time and energy, I will write more about the devils I could potentially form contracts with, but for now I want to focus on the new comic chapter, hehe.

And here’s a small sketch as well (I don’t know your height or physical features, but I drew you the way I imagined, so I hope you’ll be forgiving).

And so, our heroes became awkward colleagues)))

[edgar-rain]

My turn!!

If you were in the Chainsaw Man universe, who would you be? A Devil? A Fiend? A Devil Hunter? Or someone else..? Feel free to draw or not, whatever's up your alley ^_^

@snunkums

Well, you’ve caught me off guard! This sudden question unexpectedly came to my mind late at night, yet I myself had never really thought about what role I might have in the "Chainsaw Man" universe. I actually had to stop and think about who I could be… And the answer I found turned out to be rather ambiguous.

First of all, I immediately ruled out the possibilities of being either a hybrid or a fiend. My love of freedom and inner independence would never awaken in me the desire to make a contract with a devil that would involve sharing a single body. Besides, I strongly doubt that among devils I would manage to find an ally who shared my mindset and ambitions for the future.

As for becoming a fiend, theoretically I could end up as one by dying at the wrong time and in the wrong place. However, I find the very thought unsettling — the idea of my body continuing to function beyond my own personality. I do not want my consciousness to cease to exist while my body goes on living under someone else’s will.

And so, two of the more interesting possibilities remain — being a hunter or being an ordinary devil. Both options are fascinating in their own ways, and I’d like to reflect on each of them separately.

If I were a hunter, I would probably come across as a rather unfriendly and solitary person, perhaps even arrogant, though in reality I simply feel more comfortable working alone, using my own techniques and methods, without the need to worry about another person’s safety or compatibility with my way of doing things.

I might begin with private practice, but after getting drawn in and gaining experience, I could very well move into the Bureau purely for the sake of social guarantees and stability. And that is where I would find interesting ground for personal growth (much like what happened to me in real life) — I would almost certainly be assigned a partner, and I would have to learn teamwork and communication with others.

I dislike relying on people and rarely place trust in anyone, but in such circumstances I would have no choice but to overcome that barrier.

Of course, deep down I would still remain an artist. I might often be prone to frustration and depressive moods due to how much time my job would take (a job I would do purely for money, in order to fully separate myself from my family and break away from my past). In my free time, I would try to draw manga, with varying success, attempting to bring my work to a wider audience.

And there would be an interesting contrast between an emotionally charged artist and a rather cold and ruthless hunter. In other words, drawing would not be a stable source of income, but it would still remain the very reason I live — and that is important. In none of my lives would I ever give up my main priorities, no matter how difficult things became.

My style of clothing is very contrasting and largely depends on my mood, but if I were a hunter, I would always prioritize a strict and elegant masculine suit aesthetic — ties, shirts, leather gloves, trousers, and dress shoes. “Killing with style” almost sounds like a slogan.

I could probably be considered quite tall — ~175 cm (~5'9"). However, I would also suffer from the same issue as Angel — my appearance often confuses people because of how soft and cute it looks.

I think that as a weapon I would prefer something piercing or bladed — a rapier or a sword — as it fits both my aesthetic and my personal perception. However, my fighting style would definitely be rather sharp, rough, impatient, and slightly reckless — as someone who is used to suppressing anger in everyday life and thinking purely rationally, there are moments of chaos where there is simply no reason to remain careful or tactful, and in those moments it would be natural to let go completely.

I would not be particularly disturbed by accidental tragedies or constant scenes of gore, to be honest, because such things don’t really scare me, and my mind has long developed a certain immunity to excessive empathy. The only stories that genuinely anger me due to their injustice are those involving violence between humans. I would always have the thought that killing and chaos are simply the nature of devils — something that cannot be changed. As a surviving hunter, I would be nothing more than a predator that eliminated another monster like itself. But when a human, who was never a devil, commits such vile and disgusting acts… that is an entirely different level of perception.

As for contracts with devils…

I think I would be well suited to the Anxiety Devil, the Existential Dread Devil, the Competition Devil, the Luck Devil, the Addiction Devil, the Justice Devil, or perhaps the Responsibility Devil. Yes, most of these are abstract concepts rather than concrete creatures or objects.

I would want my devil to truly reflect some of my old mental struggles — something hanging over me like an irritating reminder of them, while at the same time symbolizing how I had managed to tame my own traumas, heal old wounds, and learn to live alongside both my life and my personal devil as an accepted part of myself, almost like an old friend.

I also tried to come up with something directly connected to visual art and the personal struggles I have associated with it, but I realized that art itself does not frighten me at all, and that all of my past difficulties surrounding it have a much deeper social context. But if you have any thoughts on that, feel free to suggest something.

I think I can end things here for now. Of course, this is far from everything I would like to reflect on — at the very least, it would be interesting to separately develop and flesh out the concepts of all these devils, and I have not said anything about myself as a potential devil either.

But that is a conversation for another time! You can even ask for clarification or bring up a new question on this topic if you’d like.)

Madness pushed to the limit

What if Edgar ended up in a mental hospital after refusing Ada’s treatment?

It’s a rather strange question, but it suddenly finds an answer in that very novel I once worked on…

The first meeting at Ada’s house… Edgar still has no idea what he’s getting himself into

[edgar-rain]

God, thank you so much — this response is making me tear up with joy!!

It means so much to me when people can genuinely see and feel how deeply I love what I do, and how far I am willing to go to portray exactly what needs to be portrayed.

As for the wings — that’s actually a very interesting observation. I encounter depicting them quite often across different artistic mediums and visual techniques: charcoal and graphite work, sculpture, wood carving… And all of this stems from my lifelong love for angelic and demonic themes, a passion that runs through my life like a red thread.

I even wrote my graduation thesis on illustration, and as part of that project I created seven large-scale illustrations for Mikhail Lermontov’s poem "Demon". The images of the Demon and the Angel were essential there, and naturally, that meant I was constantly working with wings… And now this fascinating quest continues through akiangel too, XDD

Usually, games like Genshin pass me by, but as they say, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your friends — especially when what they’re talking about actually sounds interesting…

And that’s how this batch of small works featuring the Heizou/Tighnari pairing came to be.

Oh yes, I’m also a fan of Cutthroat from the anime Akudama Drive… He’s magnificent in his madness.

No, but do you SEE how gentle he is? I’m biting him…
