one of my favorite drawings that ive ever made

have a nice trip

i wonder if ichiya shooting ikkan back years ago is partially because he hasn't been able to go out in the public due to squid squad blowing up, inklings use turf war (or other modes) to ease their combative spirits otherwise a real war would break out, so a lot of pent up emotions would definitely be bottled up inside of ichiya leading up to the catalyst of course, them splitting up could just be built up tension between him and ikkan due to creative differences in music at the time. but i feel like ichiya would start to get agitated from not being able to ease his instincts via turf war, he isnt even able to do the thing he enjoys which is taking strolls out in public . so it all js brews underneath the surface til he inevitably has an outburst the day of squid squad splitting apart

I wanna draw Alien Namida in a lesbian colored galaxy. But idk if I should draw her in her usual outfit(left) or a new one (inspo on the right).

I’ve always drawn her in the usual outfit but I’m starting to not like it(?) I kinda made it up on the fly and it gives off more magical girl energy than of the alien princess energy I want her to have. The outfits on the right hits the princess vibe perfectly. And the shoulder cover/pads allow for a symbol that could represent Planet Namik.

But I always loved the idea of Murasaki feeling like an outcast due to his age or behavior but mostly because of how he looks and I think he had a hard time making friends because of these things and looking intimidating

I made these doodles in may but I got embarrassed and never posted them lol

I’m my head, Murasaki behaves in a way that reflects other people’s opinion on him. He is seen as pointy and abrasive so he acts pointy and abrasive. He subconsciously plays a character to protect himself from other’s opinions because it doesn’t hurt as much if he makes it true. If people stay away from him he will make them stay away so that he feels like he has agency in it.

Remember how I said I didn’t interpret this as sad? I lied a little. It does get to him, but he’s made it into something he has control over which is why he walks closer to them with the star indicating that he’s being mischievous about it :P He’s integrated how others see him into his personality and while he does play into it, he sometimes wishes he could be seen and behave genuinely. But don’t get me wrong, I still think he is a jackass naturally which is why he revels in it a bit.

I also don’t think his sense of belonging was all that relieved by squid squad though. He felt better having a solid group of friends for two years but he couldn’t shake the feeling of him standing out. They were Squid Squad and he was still a sea urchin. He was the youngest so he wasn’t taken as seriously. He felt like he was the least skilled of all of them, but Ikkan was busy helping Ichiya so he had to compensate for it himself. I like to imagine Ichiya as the sun and the rest orbited around him. Ikkan was like a gas or ice planet. He was the furthest away and he orbited slowly and steadily. Namida was like the earth, and she would thrive at her perfect distance. But to me, Murasaki would be like mercury. He was the smallest and the closest and he spun the fastest because he felt his gravity the strongest. He was told that he was important and that he mattered, so he would revolve as fast as he could. But when the star exploded the largest planet drifted away, the earth froze over, and Murasaki was the most burnt. So it turned out none of it mattered at all.
