the curt “just so you know i don’t care that you killed my boss” text message majima sends you in kiwami to justify keeping the majima everywhere system post-game is REALLY funny, but i’ve been thinking a lot about that particular narrative moment with the added context of yakuza 0.
what's the best drawing or art advice you've received?
basically, 1) draw fast, 2) let go
really its two parts of the same advice which is that its better to spend 1 hour and finish a “good enough” drawing than to spend 3-4 hours nitpicking trying to get a “perfect” picture!! (we’ll say 1 hr for example, it takes different people more time to do different things!)
this is because no matter how much time you spend on a drawing trying to make it perfect, its gonna look terrible in a year when youve improved. there is no escaping this. but this is also a good thing because its a sure sign (almost a guarantee!) that youre going to improve!!
with that said, spending lots of time on a piece also tends to be discouraging, because you sit there for HOURS and it still doesnt look how you want it to. ive found that its better to spend less time on something (ie “draw fast”), if it doesnt look perfect, you go “eh, good enough” and move on to the next piece instead of obsessing (ie “let go”)!!! it helps you improve faster!!!
i guess the reasoning behind it is that only by drawing a lot will you improve, so spending 3 hours drawing 3 “good enough” pieces improves your art faster than spending 3 hours ATTEMPTING to do a “perfect” piece, which really only results in 1 piece thats only slightly better than the 3 you couldve done, except now youre exhausted and discouraged
think of it like this!! no matter how much time you spend on a piece, odds are it wont be too far in “quality” as all your other pieces. whether it looks “shitty” or “amazing” to you, from the POV of someone else it probably wont look too different than what you usually do!! (for those who get the math reference, all your art falls within a certain epsilon-neighborhood of your avg art quality. your focus should be on moving the center point up, rather than just one individual piece!!)
another thing to think about is this: consider your fav artist!! theres a 100% chance they have all the same struggles with a piece looking bad or good, yet to our eyes, all their art looks equally good, right?? so dont worry too much and just focus more on drawing as much as possible to improve faster!!
do you have some dadjima x pregnant partner headcanons maybe?? thank you soo, love your blog and all your hcs :)
Dadjima on the brain 24/7 💞 Let’s see... This ended up being long again, so it’s under the cut! ✨
First things first, when his partner breaks the news to Majima, he’s honestly stunned to speechlessness. It’s not a surprise baby, they both agreed to start trying to conceive, because he knows better than to leave family planning to chance. But he’s just... overwhelmed, now that the idea of fatherhood is actually becoming a reality. Overwhelmed, but so very happy.
However, with all that happiness comes the worrying. On top of the doubts he’s got about himself, he also knows just how delicate the baby is, especially in the first trimester. He tries to be exceedingly, uncharacteristically gentle even when just hugging his partner and he feels guilty when morning sickness comes around, knowing there’s little he can do to help. He can at least be there, for comfort and moral support, even if it means turning up late to the odd clan meeting.
Speaking of those, I don’t think he’d rush to inform his family or his superiors about the pregnancy. Rumors spread fast as is and who knows what malicious ears that might also be listening. The first time he ever drops a hint is to Nishida, when he’s given a list of new hires to approve and instead of actually checking their qualifications, he fixates only on their names.
“Naruki... how’s that sound to ya, Nishida? Would’ja name yer son that?”
Now, Nishida’s no fool, why else would the boss bring up baby names if ane-san wasn’t... well, but also because he’s no fool, he isn’t going to let on that he’s figured it out. He just smiles and tries to give honest, heartfelt advice. Maybe subtly drop in some girls’ names too, as he knows Majima’s soft spot too well.
Also in the first trimester, Majima is very susceptible to puppy dog eyes, especially if he’s coming home in the middle of the night and his partner’s still wide awake, really yearning for some salt and vinegar chips... Technically he shouldn’t, junk food can’t be good for the baby... but then again his own body practically runs on junk food, is he really one to talk? Also, if anyone deserves a treat, shouldn’t it be the mother of his children? ...Fuck it, he makes a run to the conbini and comes back with enough snacks for both of them to munch on until they finally fall asleep, around the break of dawn.
Okay so he’s kinda wanted to do this since day one, but it’s once his partner starts showing that he just can’t hold back any more: always plural now, for every greeting. “How’re my darlings doin’? Did my girls sleep well? You two feelin’ okay?” Maybe the little one is still too small to hear his words, but Majima reckons that the sooner they’re included in the family, the more they’ll feel their parents’ love.
And all while his child’s still in the womb, he tries to speak to them often, even jokingly calling on them as a tie-breaker when he and his partner disagree on something.
“Ain’t so sure about that, maybe we should ask our lil’ man here... or lil’ lady“ as he gently pats the belly hoping for a kick in response.
So I spoke about Majima not being able to hold back tears for that very first kick, but how would it happen? I think it would be on one of their lazy movie nights, where they’re just cuddled up together on the couch, Majima playing the big spoon and holding his spouse tight, hands smoothing idly over the bump... And, well, it’s a zombie movie - seen one, seen ‘em all, right? (don't tell Majima that!)
So maybe his partner dozes off... only to later wake up to someone trying his damnedest to stifle a sob against their shoulder, his cheek wet and his eye so misty. He can’t even form words to explain why he’s crying and he gets even more embarrassed seeing how much he’s scaring his partner, but he eventually manages to croak out: "...her little foot... I... I felt... her..."
Ohhhh. Watch him let the tears run for real as the words "she's just excited to meet her daddy" do the exact opposite of calming him down. He’s crying harder... but he's just as excited to meet her, for sure 💙
And when it comes to said bump, he’d waste no time reassuring his partner that they’re just as, if not even more beautiful than before. Since really nothing compares to the warm glow of his beloved’s body, busy growing the most amazing gift to ever enter their lives.
Kisses and caresses? You bet. Yoga and pre-natal exercises? He’s a flexible guy and he wants to show solidarity, so why not. Oils to keep the skin soft and healthy as it stretches? Majima knows absolutely nothing about that, but he’ll learn, the same way he’s learned most of his skills in life: by persevering and giving it his all.... and also by looking it up on the Internet (another little tip from Nishida)
As the birth approaches, he puts extra thought into what first toy he’s gonna present the baby with. In his mind he’s already drunk on happy fantasies of it becoming the kid’s favourite plushie, much loved, much worn, carried with them just about everywhere... that’s exactly why it’s gotta be something good! Do they still make Bun-chans? he wonders. If so, then he’s not leaving the arcade until he’s got one in every colour and especially the jumbo size 💙💙💙
Ahh lotsa paragraphs again... goes to show just how much the image of Maji as a dad has consumed my mind. Thank you for the ask and the kind words, I hope these fill the Dadjima needs!
