new chapter coming Soon (TM)! [it's up now!]

(I had to to split this one too, it was getting too long. again. sigh.)

more comments below the break

i have a lot of fun mentally filling in Akai's playlists and music tastes.

you'll probably have noticed a lot of his own music references in his past journal/notes; i figure that the appreciation for music (like, vaguely rock-genre) is at least somewhat part of his canon character. and as i'm wont to do, i just expanded on that. and, of course i'll get more into that in future chapters, too :3c

but yeah, to this music-citation specifically, something about the extremely sarcastic cynical angry absurd SOAD really scratches a him-itch, to me.

i do think there's a lot he doesn't acknowledge to himself, because of the cognitive dissonance required to do his work. and of course he doesn't really have anyone whom he truly believe he can trust, so he can't talk abut his problems... but the music can feel it for him. (huh, i think that might be a theme in these stories.)

art trade i did with the fantastic and handsome @carpal-diem, who gave me an absolutely gorgeous modern!AU itachi to have fun with :D

let's do this again sometime <3

[carpal-diem]

Art trade I did with my dear friend @liminalh-creations. He came up with this bloody terrifying lovely sketch of Rin in an AU where she decides to become a Jinchuuriki and became an absolute badass!

[liminalh-creations]

Just to add some more explanation :

I asked in VC for some suggestions for this collab and someone said "Rin". after I finished cursing their bloodline I realised what I hated about the suggestion was the general lack of character (TM) my girl was given

so I thought "what if instead of getting damsel'd/fridged, she didn't die but got Worse instead. and wouldn't that look cool in Capi's style." and yeah that nasty sketch was the result

[liminalh-creations]

been kinda obsessed with the First Law series and universe these past few months, here's some sketches of some characters from there!

19. the hills

Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad I just couldn't leave it alone... - Nine Inch Nails, Only

guess who's back, back again,,

the song i chose to accompany this post is what i was rotating in my brain while writing the first part of that chapter! it, uhhh, its A LOT

[liminalh-creations]

hit a bit of a writer's block for my fanfic back in august, but he's a few sketches of various degrees of quality, which i i did to try and get out of that rut

sorry, most of these are pretty ns/fw in various ways. commentary below the cut!

1: developing my stylized doodle/chibi (?) style, idk, pretend this was done on a napkin in black and red biro or something

2: ths one's probably the messiest, ough, really nto happy about it but w/e, it's just a sketch. i just wanted to do some buff older butch/dyke appreciation and jägermeister manifested her way onto the screen, idk what to say, she's a menace (i love her) (she's awful)

3: this red label's the oldest drawing here, i think the orginal sketch was from 2022 or something? but yeah, here's some chubby femme appreciation letsfuckingoooo

4: mr hideaki nakajima from the latest chapter of my fanfiction, so, uh, spoilers for that i guess if anyone even cares. dw his suffering is nearly over!! but not before some real upsetting shit happens at the beginning of next chapter hehe i drew this basically the moment i got back home from a several-week-long trip to the UK (where among others that writer's block was haunting me), some sorta catharsis. i really like drawing bruises ok

These were the chemical weapons Shuichi had been tracking all summer: the ‘anomalous organic contaminant’ and ‘biohazardous material’ and ‘disruptive mutagen compound’.

Girl from Shalabiyya Her eyes like almonds! I love you with all my heart; Oh, my heart You're my eyes, you're everything to me! -Fairuz, Bint el Shalabiyya

oh no, those dont seem to be pages from akai's notebook! and it's not his handwriting either! this can't be good...

sure hope nothing terrible happens to this child or her family :)

took me a while to figure out which little quote to go along with these pages. Alouette is being saved for another chapter (hehehe), and any other songs or passages referenced in this chapter are far too dark for the images! So I ended up going with a much lovelier and softer little song by the great Fairuz

Sleeplessly embracing Butterflies and needles Line my seamed-up joins Encased in case I need it...

my headcanon sketches/drawings of the Miyano family! (+ two terrible men who escaped my brain, just ignore them it'll be ok i promise) all are as depicted in my canon divergent fanfiction

going into this, i had the core goal of making both Akemi and Shiho not look too much like their mother, seeing as International Agent Shuichi Akai would fucking notice if the girl he's dating is visibly his own damn cousin. As such, my Akemi very heavily takes after her father; and even Shiho Sherry with her sharp nose and wider jaw is not so easy to recognise (and would've been even less so when Akai encountered her years ago, when she was a teenager).

close-ups and more commentary below!

the parents!

Eleanora 'Elena' Serafim was quite estranged from her older sister Marianne 'Mary'. She spent most of her youth while in the UK trying to distance herself from the assertive and overreaching Mary; initially physically and with different hobbies/friend groups (in fact, El didn't have many friends compared to the very popular Mary), and later by chosen profession. Atsushi meanwhile came from underprivileged circumstances and only managed to get into higher education thanks to a sponsorship from everyone in his neighbourhood pitching together, which gave him to means to attain a scholarship co-funded between the Japanese government and a private corporation that was interested in supporting aspiring young scientists.

Atsushi and Eleanora met during their studies at Cambridge. Atsushi started with a BMed but switched to a MSc; while Eleanora was always pursuing a pure science path.

There is more to their story (between failed pregnancies and increasingly unfortunate work placements) but to expedite the report: by 1991 Elena 'Absinthe' Miyano was a Chief of Research & Development of the Black Organisation in Tokyo, and her husband Atsushi 'Madeira' Miyano her right hand, liason to the rest of the company, and in charge of the medical wing in particular. They had one daughter, an adopted science experiment, and a second child on the way.

In 1999 the two parents died in a terrible accident. The details cannot be disclosed without Black Label clearance or higher.

the two (2) daughters!

Akemi Miyano (27 in summer 2010) inherited a lot more of her father's features, while Shiho (18 in summer 2010) takes more after her mother's side. (This might loosely apply to their personalities too, oops,,,,)

In addition to the point i mentioned above (Akai has, like, eyes and a partway functioning brain) I also thought this character design choice might contrast thesen two very different sisters in some interesting ways. If you're a reader of my silly "little" (c 280k words at time of posting) fanfic, you can see that contrast especially in this chapter :3

In terms of timeline, I've shuffled a few things around. I won't get too into things that might count as potential spoilers for my fanfic premise (lmfao) but suffice to say we're getting plenty of time with Akemi in the story. (And after that, plenty of time without her, too. huhuhuh...)
