Greetings. My sexuality is like a bicycle. I am an ageless Eldritch being but if you must know, 21. I also often wonder if I will be slowly driven insane via life. Perhaps I am already halfway there. Stay safe and sane everyone.

My OC is Aleksandr Herring. His appearance is mostly for cool factor and as a semi-self insert. If anyone would like I have a lot of lore for him but it’s a lot and some of it doesn’t make a lot of sense :3

But for now he’s a medic in the Japanese Imperial Army, who served in the Russo-Japanese war... I’d like to make him look older because every time I draw him he ends up looking like a pre-teen.

@ogata-apologist thanks for the opportunity to collaborate :D I have something cooking in the drafts about Rat and Ogata’s first “meeting”

Smug Rat @ogata-apologist and annoyed Ogata.

Sorry I couldn’t resist drawing rat again, I swear I’ll do the OC prompt T-T

Also sorry if it looks really sketchy I’m on a train drawing on my phone lol.

[ogata-apologist]

oooooo you wanna make your ocs hang out with my rat so bad...

(if u do fill in the other base, please credit witchynade on deviantart in the post + leave their watermark in!!)

[lilnightingale01]

Hell yeah!! This time I won’t be drawing rat (sad) but maybe they will like my own OC :3

Part 2 to my last sketch

POV you are Sugimoto Saichi, being attacked by a feral Rat.

@ogata-apologist THANK you for making more Rat art... I've been feeding myself with fanart but it will never beat the real thing.

I was experimenting with a more hatch coloring technique, which was pretty fun but I think next time I would stick to regular coloring.

AM I MAKING YOU FEEL SICK?

[lilnightingale01]

Yes, but not in the way you think :D

鍛冶場からヘンリーの笑い声が聞こえる

Henry’s laughter carried up from the forge.

[lilnightingale01]

Do you think Henry inherited Radzigs laugh?

[lilnightingale01]

The Hermit - Reversed

Can mean one who’s been abandoned, and is now lost, seeking a purpose once again.

Perhaps they grieve alone, over something or someone.

Maybe they have been exiled, and the rat’s tail, which was once so intwined with another’s has been forcibly severed, and now having lost a part of themself, will they ever recover?

OC Rat belongs to @ogata-apologist

Thank you for including my obsession with your OC. I’m not sure if you can tell but the flowers are meant to be opium poppy flowers.

[lilnightingale01]

POV: You’re Sugimoto, looking over a very dead Ogata and his guard dog.

The person wearing the 7th division uniform is @ogata-apologist’s OC Rat. Not sure whether Rat is considering revenge, or if she’s going to stab her eye out to be with Ogata.

Something about Rat is just captivating for me, so I’ve been a little… well obsessed. So many opportunities for whump and angst >:3

This is probably one of the most complicated pieces I’ve ever made so sorry for the rough coloring.

[ogata-apologist]

Theoretically if Ogata died before Rat, what would she do or how would she react?

WAITTTTTTT HOLD ON QUESTION ABOUT MY RAT #MYRAT ........ hang on i wrote an essay. sorry about this i don't often get asked about her

theoretically if ogata died first, rat is killing herself almost immediately after she finds out, be it she there to witness it or someone tells her 😭 she's not very mentally well and has convinced herself that if the endgame isn't ogata, then she won't have anything else. i think it's because of 1 Tsurumi Trauma and 2 she Does actually Love ogata... she didn't love her husband back home but she Genuinely Falls In Love with ogata even if it's kind of deliberately at first (she needs a distraction while in captivity lest she lose her mind Worse and/or kill herself).

rat does always work her hardest to make sure ogata stays alive out of love but also a bit of self preservation. it's why she offers him quite literally everything -- when she tells him he can think of her as an extension of himself, she means in that he can think of her as a weapon, a tool, a scapegoat to save his own skin if he wanted to (like how lizards can drop a tail. do u know what i mean?). ogata doesn't care so much if she lives or dies (so he tells himself and everyone else) but rat feels she quite literally cannot be without him. she also tells him this:

uhhhhhhhh tldr; if ogata dies first, rat is joining him she's killing herself 👍 sorry for da essay i am a bit self absorbed with my own oc #I❤️MyRat

[lilnightingale01]

I feel like Rat sort of resembles Usami’s feelings towards Tsurumi. And I’m mostly wondering if Rat was a little inspired by Usami? Maybe their feelings toward Ogata are not as intense (?) I’m not sure if I’m saying it correctly.

So first off their backgrounds:

Usami grew up in a relatively quiet area, with a relatively normal family. As did Rat (at least based on what I read in their character backstory). Though to be fair that’s kinda where the similarities on background end.

And besides Usami is kinda.. well you could call him a mad dog. Extremely loyal, extremely jealous. Somewhat similar to Rat I find but there wasn’t a catalyst to cause this extreme behavior like with Rat. But you describe Rat as being a sort of guard dog, which almost immediately made me think of Usami (I almost wrote Osoma…).

So… relatively normal family? Check.

Loyal as a dog? Check.

Obsessed with their chosen person? Check.

Also the fact that Tsurumi and Ogata are both enablers of Usami and Rat respectively. Tsurumi covering for Usami’s crime of killing his best fiend (cause as you know he was jealous of the attention and praise he was getting from Tsurumi :3) and Ogata almost seems to enjoy the amount of devotion Rat has towards him, so encourages the behavior with affection.

And Ogata really isn’t that good of a manipulator… so he must unconsciously have at least SOME fondness for Rat. Maybe like a reluctant owner to a clingy dog.

Are any of these thoughts making any sense? I’ve been a bit obsessed with Golden Kamuy lately so I’ve been dying for someone to talk to about it.

[lilnightingale01]

Hands might be a pain to draw but I sure do love looking at them… especially when they’re so expressive and detailed!

[76wasteland]

Still feeling that bullet I put into you,huh?

First post here!!

Just Jesse waving at you? Or someone special, hmm~?

Really obsessed with this art and had to animate it.. While some animation look wonky (especially at the end, can't make a good loop) so i'm just trying to get familiar at compositing...

[lilnightingale01]

JESSE YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL T-T and the nostalgic music on top is just chefs kiss. Absolutely love it, one can only hope Jesse is this happy at the end of Minecraft story mode…

I don’t know about you all but I tend to ship female Jesse with Petra and male Jesse with Lukas. Anyone else?

But no matter who Jesse is waving at they sure at lucky!! Ah Minecraft story mode my beloved :)

Don’t you give me those puppy dog eyes… no you cannot impersonate me and attempt to murder all my friends.

[fyrnacx]

I don’t know if you take asks anymore but have you ever drawn Romeo and vos in an image together??

I don't think I ever have! This is my first time drawing them together in any capacity :)) This ask has given me several ideas for interactions between them, though, so hopefully I'll get around to drawing/writing them soon!

Thank you very much for the ask! Sorry I kept you waiting so long!

[lilnightingale01]

I swear to god every time I play Minecraft story mode I always forget that Romeo is pretending to be Vos T-T I feel bad for Vos of course but somehow even worse for Jack, cause like imagine thinking one of your friends survived the most traumatic experiences of your life only to find that it was some red jerk impersonating him.
