You're late, Godai!

Kitty, 20s, she/her hi, this is my toku sideblog which I use way more than my main blog! I follow from felinenthusiast

[ichijokaoru]

🪲 welcome to my tokusatsu sideblog 🪲

Hi, I share my exact birthday, date and year, with Kamen Rider Kuuga (the show. not godai) we are the same age! I am eternally absolutely ecstatic about this.

I do like a variety of tokusatsu, but Kamen Rider Kuuga is my favourite show ever, so I'll be honest, the blog ends up being a lot of Kuuga! And also goichi--they're my absolute otp ever 💖

My other fave toku shows include go-onger, boonboomger, um omega, um arc, kr fourze & kr 555 (odd one out for sure)! 😊

I sometimes talk about stuff like writing fic here as it's where I do my fandom stuff and I don't really use my main! I've been writing a long, long goichi fic for over two years (still unposted 🫠👍) so really end up on that a lot.

Also, sometimes I just reblog beetles.

🦗 Things to check out:

✨ my kuuga content masterlist (interviews, music etc.)

✏️ my art tag (goichi central)

🖋️ (my fic, pending)

🪲 general kuuga tag (all kuuga posts)

👍 kuugaposting tag (only my original posts)

(sorry it is all kuuga. even my personal art tag is Just kuuga... because I am obsessed.)

🦗 Other stuff:

check out my beloved over at @beatchaser2000 or his lovely art @sunstonespark!!!🥰👍

you can also find me at my main @felinenthusiast (which I follow from)

✨ Lastly, please stop drawing Ichijou super pale, especially in comparison to Godai when they're literally the sameish shade ✨

✨ There are many great posts about accurately portraying character skin tones in general, but this is a misconception in fandom, regarding Ichijou in particular, for some reason, that I feel requires being specifically pointed out if it is to end. ✨

missed drawing them <3

[ichijokaoru]

living with my love @beatchaser2000 rules because if I'm having a bad day I can lie on the sofa and watch him draw goichi live

*obligatory: our TV's colours are Crazy and make everything look super yellow (and saturated in general) and that is not an accurate representation of the true colours of the piece (on the laptop screen you can see better...)

[ichijokaoru]

btw!! the art he was working on here has been posted now and it's really cute!!! go looks!!!

[ghsot]

everyones got that fic they chip away at like michaelangelo sculpting david. and brother? its penis month

[ghsot]

asked my friends if they knew what i was referencing and they said no. we all know that post where someone divided how long it took michelangelo to sculpt david by it's size and went "yuuuuup. whole month spent on penis" right. sure, my search history is full variations upon "michelangelo penis month tumblr" to no avail, but we all know it. right.

[itriedonce]

[ghsot]

The specific humiliation of sharing your writing with someone and then watching them read it in front of you in real time. they pause. why did they pause. that was a bad pause. now they're nodding but what does the nod mean. now they look up and say "wow" and you need to know IMMEDIATELY what kind of wow that was. there are at least six different wows and only one of them is good and you have aged fourteen years waiting to find out which one.

"The Beetle's moon", 2025

Dynastes tityus, the Eastern Hercules beetle, is one of the largest beetle species found in North America -- they also happen to be my favorite!

I originally planned to make a purely ecosystem-focused piece for this species (and I may still do a more scientific-illustration-style piece later). But, as I toyed around the the composition, I realized that I really wanted to make the beetle grub feel like the 'moon' and pivoted my focus from there. I still stuck with a more natural tone for the background theming and drew the old tree stump to represent its place as a frequent habitat for this species and several morel mushrooms to bring that forest floor feeling.

This illustration was really fun (and a little challenging at points) and I'm excited bring this to life as a riso print through a local shop in the near future!
