A Beginner Artist's Journey

I write and draw for fun, mainly anime/Dragon Ball. Other socials: Kassia_Leaf(AO3), KassiaLeaf (X)

Hey, good folks of the Squid Game fandom! I wrote a little philosophical piece about In-ho and his inner thoughts, with a cameo from Gi-hun (or is it him?) 🤔 Spoilers for the whole series! Thanks for your time, and if you decide to check it out, I hope you'll like it ☺️

“Whoa, give me a rest,” Gi-hun protested. “I ain’t your judge.”

No, In-ho thought. It was foolish of him to think that back then, and it was foolish to do so now. He had prepared speeches, points, counterpoints, ready for a battle of wits, the ideological clash between him and his shadow. Or his light? And he had prepared to perish. He had explored all outcomes his revelation would cause, except for one. Gi-hun had struck him in his blind spot, crushed him where he was weakest. He had ignored In-ho. His identity, his betrayal, his whole being. None of it mattered to Gi-hun. And it had hurt In-ho enough to let his past haunt him once more. He was a frightened contestant, back in the game, who took the coward’s path and eliminated his competition in their sleep.

“I don’t want your forgiveness,” In-ho said.

“I think you do,” Gi-hun said, looking out at the lake. “But I can’t give it to you.”

Too late to turn back... Fine liners, colored pencils + some Photoshop

I tried to make a small piece of animation in dbs style. It was fun. Maybe next time I'll do better.

A little Zamasu/Goku Black fanfic

Served fresh out of the AO3 oven: ace rep, slow burn romance, first kiss, all that jazz. Check it out if it sounds like something you would enjoy ;)

[kassialeaf]

After a long time I was in the mood to write a little fanfic about Zamasu & Goku Black. "Seasons of Your Skin" is a gen fic, the musings of Black who notices that Zamasu's scent changes with the seasons. Here's a link to the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/68256556 Happy reading!

A sweet story for the Holidays - Zamasu wants to make a snow angel and coaxes Black into joining him. Safe for work, with just a hint of innocent pining. Check it out if you'd like to read a wholesome story during the festive season ;)

Happy Holidays, everyone!!

Months after finishing my young Zamasu longfic, I felt like making a little cover art for it. The sketch was so fun to draw; sometimes the lack of time to make art makes you forget how joyful the process is.

I don't know how I'll finish it, traditionally or digitally, but I hope it'll do justice to these three sillies <3 (If you'd like to check out the fic, it's here: Dragon Ball 10)

Excerpt from my latest fanfic, Tether: “You are perfection,” he said, running his thumb over Zamasu’s lower lip. “A treasure out of the reach of superfluous beings. The shield to my sword. The fragrant tea to my boiling water. We complement each other like no one else in history have. When I’m looking at you, I see radiance, magnificence. And it hurts me more than you could imagine.”

"If we are to remain close, there is no place for shame between us."

A mortal urge has been making Black miserable. It doesn't help that he keeps it a secret from Zamasu. When the cat is out of the bag, Zamasu helps Black to find peace through an unusual method.

A further exploration of our favorite villains in the early days of their living together, and how they make their relationship work despite their different bodies - and needs.

Contains a scene of touchless fun (trust me, it works 😉).

Desires Tamed and Wild - a Zamasu/Goku Black asexual/sexual romantic fluff piece

"You expected me to argue. You thought I would push you until you let me take charge. How little you know of Saiyan bodies, the wiring of their brains. One such brain is poisoning my proclivities, my very personality.

This body yearns for strength. It wants power for itself, to break through its limits, which aligns with my wishes and your understanding. But it wants strength in another way, too." https://archiveofourown.org/works/59437378
