hi!! my name is Ren/Ara, I use she/any pronouns, and I'm a fanfic writer and fanartist!! I'm also aroace, and I only write and draw platonic (and very occasionally queerplatonic) stuff :)
finally got around to finishing another piece of fanfic fanart yippee!!!
this one is for this fic: a truth to hide by 52hz (nitilia)
it's such a good fic, and as soon as it got to the part where they climbed the tree I had SUCH a clear mental image of it that I HAD to draw it!! ...even if it took me a long time to actually getting around to doing so haha
predrew this one a while ago so almost forgot to post it today haha
it's surprisingly REALLY hard to find merfolk outfits that don't just use normal fabric, but eventually I found some inspiration for some cool more natural-looking clothing pieces!! ^^
also most of the design choices here were just vibes - I'm not sure how easy it is to tell, but Midoriya's 'freckles' and Todoroki's 'scar' are patches of scales too! why? because it sounded cool kfdsgd <3
it's definitely not my fave drawing ever, but drawing mermaids is still really fun and it was also cool adding all of those little details and design choices :)
I've lowkey ALWAYS wanted to draw some fantasy au art, so I'm SO happy I finally did it!!! ^^
I was planning on writing fics for this event, not drawing much, but... I have been hit with both writer's block and a sudden surge of motivation to draw, so I guess most of my entries are going to be art lol!
pulling out a LAST last minute and completely spur of the moment GoatToWork submission!
for the last prompt, "my present" - his present being a lovely birthday party <3 (that he does not know how to deal with lmao)
this spurred from my friend's idea, based on a screenshot of my miis!! (I made Baek Saheon on his birthday so he had a birthday party the very second he was created, and it was a complete coincidence that it made Kim Soleum the only attendee!!)
I've edited the miis a fair bit since then so I don't loveee this screenshot but it is very important context and information haha <3
she's eating yakgwa, canonically her favourite snack :3
I only realized it was her birthday a couple hours ago (to be fair, I don't often celebrate character birthdays), and was struck with a sudden urge to draw her again! and so I did :) ily LSH <3
illustration for chapter two of The Strange Case of Mr. Roe Deer :DD
I truly don't know why I don't draw in this kind of style more often kjfdsghd. also here's the original pencil version since I think it's cool in its own way too!
even though I draw a lot, I could never be a serious artist
sometimes I see a piece of awesome artwork and think it looks so cool and am like wow I should learn to draw like that… then I see it took them 15 hours and am like oh nvm I could literally never have the patience for that lmao
for some reason I've gotten out of the habit of making fanart for other people's fics, even though I used to do it fairly often - getting back into the habit though, starting with with a piece of art for my friend @reinventii's GSGW fic!! ^^
it's classic early-part-1 Baek Saheon ragebaiting. this is my best attempt at drawing KSE's unhinged persona lmao
was left without any internet connection the other day. but I had my laptop, so I decided to start writing an entity/ghost story KSE fic!
When a routine quiz show Darkness gets abruptly transformed into a deadly choir contest, D-squad is sure they are completely done for... until they unexpectedly get saved by a bizarre outside entity whom the show's host calls Roe Deer.
And, as it turns out, this is only the first of many times that workers from Baekilmong and the Supernatural Disaster Management Agency will come across this strangely benevolent monster.
now that they're all set up, thought we should post the full versions of the artwork each of us did for the event poster and pfp :)
the pfp artwork by @reinventii !
"Tddk is so cute I believe in long hair todoroki"
and the poster artwork by @renirae !
as you can see, I ended up drawing them earlier on (i.e. no Midoriya face scar) since lowkey I am still not even close to properly caught up to canon even though I am literally co-running a theme week for this fandom dhjgdk. to be fair, this whole thing was Counterfeit's brainchild, I'm here since I have more experience running events! and because he has been sending tododeku stuff to me for years and thus keeping me thinking about them despite my lagging lol :)
We noticed there aren't many fan events about these two anymore, so we decided to make our own!!
General rules:
Any type of fanwork is allowed! Fanfiction, fanart, and/or whatever other fanwork you can think up are all accepted!
Any depiction of this relationship including platonic is allowed, your fanwork does not need to be romantic! It just needs to be primarily centered around Midoriya and Todoroki :)
When posting on here, use #tododekuweek2026 !! There is also an ao3 collection called tododekuweek2026 that you will be able to post under as well!! You can use that hashtag on other sites as well, of course, but we won't be monitoring any of them
You can enter for as few or as many prompts or days as you want, and can choose one prompt for a day or attempt to combine multiple. We will also accept late entries!
All fanworks must be your own - AI, plagiarism, tracing, etc. are not allowed
Plaintext version of the prompts are below the cut;
as well as some ideas and explanations for the more vague ones (however, you are allowed to interpret the prompts in whatever way you want, you do not need to follow our descriptions!!)

And we hope to see you in the first week of June!! ^^
and my first post on this sideblog is me FINALLY finishing a six month old lineup of my favourite TMA characters!!!
of course, my mental image of these characters is constantly shifting, so this isn't going to be as helpful to me as other lineups I've made (I say helpful to me because I hate colouring so I like to use these as colour references lol), but it was still really fun to work on haha <3 love these guys a lot
HELPPPPP I FORGOT TO ADD THE LINEART FOR GERRY'S TATTOOS? AKA ONE OF HIS MOST IDENTIFYING FEATURES???? I can't decide whether I should laugh or cry fkhgskfdhgkdf 😭😭😭 to be fair this is all AU anyways so everyone hopefully assumed that him not having tattoos was another part of the AU dfkjgkshd
(this is literally the header picture for this account too, but I didn't notice until I was showing some friends the character I would literally be cosplaying at a convention (UofT Fandom Convention) tomorrow. because I was like "oh I need to put his eye tattoos on my hands let me show you a drawing I've done of them"... and then the drawing doesn't have them fdshskjd)
anyways. guess I have to edit those in now lmao. or honestly just redraw this even though I didn't post it that long ago, since I actually DREW it months ago and there are some other things I would change (like tying Jon's hair half up)
either way, tomorrow though, after I go to said event dressed in said Gerry cosplay :)) (I will probably also post pictures of that too! ^^ even if with my head cut off like last time haha)
art for the second/final chapter of my GSGW/TMA crossover!! ^^
I'll put the summary here again because I think it's probably good practice to do this from now on tbh :)
While visiting the security team after work one day, an ominous yellow door appears at the end of one of the basement hallways.
Unfortunately for Kim Soleum, Lee Seonghae and J3 decide that the three of them are going to be going through it.
as you can tell I didn't feel like doing a whole perspective background this time haha, six characters was enough. but drawing all of these guys was very fun ^^
also my art tablet stylus broke while drawing this so that was. not fun 😭😭 it's still kind of usable after I slapped a bunch of tape onto it though lol. and breaking after five and a half years of use isn't that bad tbh!
posted (the first chapter of) another GSGW fic hehe. this one is a The Magnus Archives crossover!!
While visiting the security team after work one day, an ominous yellow door appears at the end of one of the basement hallways.
Unfortunately for Kim Soleum, Lee Seonghae and J3 decide that the three of them are going to be going through it.
also in the drawing, although both Kim Soleum and J3's expressions are fairly neutral, internally their current thoughts are as follows:
Kim Soleum: oh my god we're going to be stuck in these hallways forever we're actually about to die oh my god
being an artist is so crazy because I lowkey hate every single piece of artwork I have ever made. I also hate like 75% of the actual process of drawing too
...and yet I will never ever actually stop drawing lmao
