Here is today's shenanigans with my art piece for this year's @kaishinbigbang, featuring The IdiotsTM in a soulmate AU!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Worked with the hilarious @/bearixt on this au, You Need To Read It's Accompanying Fanfic Right Now.
Patchwork Scent by Bearixt
Absolute comedy, featuring emotionally repressed Kaito and surprisingly straight-forward Shinichi in what I like to call 'Misunderstanding Mayhem' (MM for short) as they individually navigate what it means to be loved for their scents and who they are. (*cough* Kaito *cough*)
No one could have written it as the absolute crack that it is other than my partner Bear, so do check out their other fics too!! (This Is A Demand) I'm sure they don't ever miss. (σ°∀°)σ..:*☆

summary: It was supposed to be easy; take the antidote, and slip back into his normal life as Kudou Shinichi. Instead, it has been anything but, and he's starting to wonder if maybe he never should have returned.
Down and depressed, Shinichi borrows the professor's Beetle to get away for a while. For reasons Shinichi doesn't understand, Kaitou KID decides to tag along.
"We need to stop meeting in the rain," the thief said, kneeling to wrap a coat around Conan and pulling its hood over his head.
"There we go." The words were soft as KID fussed over the boy, before finally meeting haunted blue. "I thought you'd be relieved that everything is finally over."
"I am," Conan answered, eyes cutting to the police cars below. "But they destroyed everything related to the apotoxin before they got caught. Kudou Shinichi's life is officially over."
A journey of Kaishin's emotions about the rain

summary: In a world where your scent will always be the most alluring to your soulmate, Shinichi smells like blood and injury. Kaito smells like whatever you want him to smell. Shinichi finds Kaito skulking during the Clock Tower Heist, does a Sherlock Holmes Handshake, and decides they're soulmates.
I'm back here again with my contribution for this year's @kaishinbigbang!!!
It was such a great experience working with @skylerlightingstrike as my wonderful partner for this AU project! Seeing my brief summary turns into an amazing fic brings me joy! Please check Sky's amazing companion fic out and give them some love!! ♥

summary: When Kaito’s village falls on hard times, there is a known solution: a bride offered to their god. There's more to that story than Kaito has ever been told though, and Kaito’s husband has secrets of his own.
Hello! it's the KaiShin BigBang again! after a long break, im back in the bang business with my 4th year and 5th project for this event. there are many things in store below the waters of Tokyo...
my project with @cthulu-sun is a film noir-style case fic taking place on the upper floors of Tokyo skyscrapers- all that is left habitable after the rising tides of global warming hit our near future setting.
from the second this prompt started, Cthulu knew what they were doing. i barely had to say anything before they clocked the vibes immediately. im so impressed with their work, ideas and stamina to continuously churn out beautiful words for this story. they wrote an insane mystery that has kept me guessing throughout the whole creation process. i hope that many, many kaishin and DCMK fans alike will find it just as amazing as i do
for my part, i got to flex my skills with water to the extreme! the compositions and backgrounds for the project were an absolute dream to work on. im super lucky i had enough juice to make THREE pieces this year with a lot of effort put into each. (also i am helped by glorious new brushes from @/tamberella since art fight this year gave me enough spoons to download some for the first time) i hope the results are impressive!
now enough rambling from me. fic link is [HERE] go read it!! (ง'̀-'́)ง
summary: After a tumultuous return to his old life, the last thing Shinichi expected was a whirlwind romance with Kaitou KID. Even so, the thief still managed to sweep him off his feet. At first, Shinichi told himself he didn’t mind that their time together was limited to a few stolen hours after each heist… until he found out why.
We've seen Shinichi's side, but what about someone else's? Someone... closer than we think.
May we invite you to witness the fallout on Kaito's side from his nightly activities - and question, can one truly live in ignorance
We are not taking a break yet - the angst train has simply got diverted onto another track!

As usual, thoughts and spoilers below!
Did the change in POV caught you by surprise? Nobody had planned since the very beginning about the POV switch from Shinichi to Kaito, but that segment with KID was absolutely spot on!! The amount of emotions, the rage and frustration!! The placement of this is very unique in the sense that it builds on from the previous chapter, but it also lends an incongruent feel to the current chapter - highlighting the two sides. One angry, one ignorant.
I think I forgot to mention it to Nobody, but she'll likely be reading this anyways haha - I love that you included this segment, not only because of this contrast, but also even as early as Chapter 11 actually, KID and Kaito are incredibly similar in how they react! This is my insight after rereading it the ???th time btw haha. But isn't that amazing! That every reread, you realise something that Nobody has cleverly done and it just adds on to the story! (Sometimes even flips your interpretation of the scene too because hindsight 20/20)
I feel like I'm giving out spoilers from this - let me try again with less hindsights haha.
I hope when you're reading Kaito's pov, you are already seeing the cracks in the romantic KaiAo relationship. I have to really applaud Nobody - she really did a great job creating a narrative that allows the relationship to naturally fall apart without any bashing. And this is going to be very critical in Kaito's narrative! Just like how Ran is to Shinichi, Aoko is also very important to Kaito as well - regardless of whether she's his girlfriend, or his best friend!
And you know what made me scream in chat the most when Nobody was writing this? THE IRONY - the absolute irony that despite him severing to not have to lie and continue to live a normal life - HE STILL HAD TO LIE IN THE END!!!! It's like no matter what he does, in the end, in canon or in this fic, he still has to lie. It's really sad.
-
Let me talk about Chapter 11's art because OH BOY I had a lot of thoughts on this one.
This is the first time we have Kaito and KID interacting directly btw in the story timeline - this is very much a charged scene that I tried to capture in a single drawing. I didn't want to just do a standard side view, as I felt that I wouldn't be able to capture the energy - so we have an angled one here.
Kaito as the narrator is seen here, we know what he is feeling - but KID is hidden away at the back. Why? Because Kaito doesn't feel like he knows KID - I see it as KID being suspicious and dangerous, Kaito can't read nor understand what KID is thinking!! But at the same time, it's because Kaito is disregarding KID's thoughts - which is shown by how Kaito's arm is actually blocking out KID's expression! (and it's the one wearing the watch too *gasp*)
Another interesting consideration was what would KID be wearing during this fight? Especially given that it's from Kaito's POV? I had initially considered KID wearing his signature outfit, as that would be what Kaito would probably think of KID as. But I decided to have them in the same outfit for multiple reasons and interpretations. First was that KID would realistically be in Kaito's clothes - there's no way he's going to be changing outfits haha. Second was to highlight how despite fighting about how different they are and whose body it is, they are still the same person!! The third is actually a slightly horror interpretation in which that Kaito is feeling like KID is stealing his life and body - he is losing control of his own life and body because of KID's existence and action. This interpretation would later be an irony for latet chapter - smth I wont spoil haha. I'll leave it up to you how you want to further interpret this haha - there's a lot of different ways to look at this, but this is how I interpreted while drawing this.
For the background, you have to thank Nobody for having Toichi's picture as it. I was at a loss of what to have as the background when Nobody suggested the revolving door with Toichi on it, splitting them down the middle AND THE IMAGERY AND MEANING OF IT!!! It's just so fitting, given the placement of the drawing right after Kaitos declaration, and the fact that they are sever because of his dad's advice. Toichis action is very much haunting the narrative, and this can be seen by how much he's blend in, probably barely visible! The background colours are a very dark purple as its the middle ground colour.
-
Anyways enough about this drawing! We move onto chapter 12 - EKODA GANG WOOOOOOO
I am so blessed to have Nobody write them in - I'm soooooo happy we have them so involved in the story and the amount of support they give to Kaito!!! What stood out to me the most here is actually how they all care so much about Kaito, but he's rejecting their help - maybe you can say that's typical Kaito fashion, but it also highlights the... room for growth. Nobody and I discussed extensively about Kaito's growth in this fic - how the lack of KID as part of Kaitos experience and memory may have led to missed opportunity to mature and grow. Hopefully you can also see the reason why
KaiAo isn't working out here. I love KaiAo, especially when considering how they would overcome all the lies and everything. For me, I believe one of the key things is for Kaito to be actively aware of his actions and accept them, to be accountable for them - not just brush off and deny his faults. I think with Aokos reaction (very wonderfully expressed with Nobody), you can guess how it'd end.
That said, this is a story with a happy ending - that means everybody will have a happy resolution! So Kaito and Aoko will still be as happy as they can be in their situation. It just... takes awhile haha
Aang wakes up from a nightmare, Zuko helps by being barely awake and disgruntled that Aang dared to move
I'm going to start adding my favorite lines to these posts for funsies
Aang would spend his days feeling like a ghost that should have been laid to rest a century ago, and then he'd see Zuko's scar, and he figured he couldn't be too out of place. Couldn't be that wrong a puzzle piece if his edges matched Zuko's.
