I tried to draw the late Hikaru with those tired-looking eyes he's been seen with in more recent flashbacks
#the expression is rather distinct from 'hikaru' it's not just me right #to be fair it wasn't as noticeable in earlier flashbacks but the author might've decided to make it more pronounced who knows #(i heard somewhere that they they started spelling things out more bc otherwise foreigners dont get it so...) #I think his expressions in ch1 are somewhat different from 'hikaru' too but i cant put a finger on it... #it's like more relaxed? in his lane? something like that #'hikaru's more excitable (x)
#yessss #i am really into seeing how og hikaru expressed himself #both in flashbacks and in the small moments we see our hikaru having to put the act of oghikaru up #someone who is more disengaged and distant but not unfriendly. all his emotions much more subdued #the only time its not is when we see him teasing yoshiki and he has that shit eating grin #that we see from the very first scene when our hikaru is still in oghikaru mode and in the first flashbacks #we see of oghikaru #oghikaru had all of his walls up all of the time #vs our hikaru who is open with everyone who knows his secret and can be himself around. even when hes hesitant about it #a habitual liar vs an open book (x)
#oh no it definitely looks different #it’s hard to describe but og hikaru looks more… mature and calm while ‘hikaru’s more excitable as you said (x)
