Sharkems

32 | She/Her | Ososan and self insert focused art and posts, I make a lot of AUs and love sharks 🦈 | 🚫 b/lmatsus and pro-shippers DNI 🚫 I selfship with Karamatsu and am okay with sharing as long as you are kind and sweet to him! You can call me Sharkems or Emma, I don't mind. I make a lot of Ososan AUs, please join them/ask me about them, they are always open, my DMs are open as well! I love playing toys and making friends!

[sharkems]

Hey, this is my self insert character, Emma Straz (basically just me lbr) and she's shipped with Karamatsu. I refer to their ship as "KarMa"

I'm okay with sharing as long as your yume/oc is kind and loving to Karamatsu and not MEAN TO HIM!!

I follow and interact from my main blog (@sharkems) as my main will just always be 100% ososan and ososan yume themed haha

Also, for the time being, I only plan on following ososan and ososan yume heavy sideblogs (unless your main IS that), so if I don't follow your main and only follow your oso sideblogs, it's not personal I promise; I still want to interact with you! I just want to keep my feed very laser focused.

Here is my Carrd for further info/more DNI details

🚫 B/LMATSUS AND PROSHIPPERS DNI!!! FUCK OFF B/LMATSUS I'M BEGGING YOU!!! 🚫

Also, more info on KarMa below!

I'm not sure how to best summarize their relationship but they are very much "opposites attract" and very in love with each other/super sweet and healing with each other. Peacock and Peahen energy I suppose. I love getting asks about them but only if people want to.

As of Season 4, they are both 32 years old but have been with each other since Season 1 (about 10 years) in terms of canon/original universe.

I've been self inserting Emma with Kara for about 6 or 7 years now and I tried to include as much of the most updated refs as I could (there is a lot of older content of her with my old name that I'm trying to edit to be up to date still).

Emma is shipped with Karamatsu only, no other characters or ocs or anything and she is monogamous. She is platonically closest with Osomatsu and Ichimatsu but is also friends with Totoko.

She doesn't have many friends outside of the Matsuno brothers and Totoko right now but I hope to change that by having her interact with other yumes!

Hi Shark, I'll give you an ask from me. Which canon character annoys Emma? And which canon character does Emma consider her best friend?

Hmm... My first instinct was to say Choromatsu for the "is annoyed by" but that's not really true. While she likes Choro the least of the Matsuno brothers, she still likes him, and there are canon characters she genuinely hates.

I would say her most hated/the one that annoys her the most is Uchikawa (the guy at the Matsu's high school reunion who talked down to them/treated them like scum once he found out they were unemployed). She learned about how he treated them at the reunion from a drunken Osomatsu and has held a grudge ever since as she hates people who have worldviews like that ("oh people who are NEETs are useless and shitty; Japanese work culture is totally flawless").

The rest is under a readmore because I ended up typing way way too much.

I also thought it might be funny if she somehow ran into the woman who scammed Karamatsu in season 1 in the Christmas ep and just... Went rabid shark on her or something LMAO.

As for her best friends... I don't know if she's a BEST friend, but the first friend Emma makes when she comes to Japan is Totoko. While the two seem opposite at first glance, they both love fish/marine life, they're both quite confrontational and not afraid to throw hands, and both can be terrifying if they want to be (Shark and Piranha respectively).

Emma is very grateful to have Totoko as she is Emma's only female friend (currently, she'd love more OTL) and thus is the only one she can actually talk to about girl problems and hang at the bathhouse with.

As for Emma's actual best friend, that's probably Osomatsu. I guess you could count Ichimatsu as well as the two have a lot in common but their friendship isn't a very dialogue-heavy one. Her friendship with Oso has a lot more talking and a lot more of them actually going out and doing things.

Both she and Osomatsu view themselves as irredeemable pieces of shit (for different reasons) so they have a very like... "Everyone hates us/we're losers, but at least we have each other" kind of friendship.

While Karamatsu gives her the romantic relationship she needs, Osomatsu provides her the platonic relationship she needed too. I think platonic relationships are just as important as romantic ones (in Emma's case as she is biromantic demisexual), both provide something different but equally important (Again, specifically in Emma's case).

Emma is one of the few people who will actually defend Osomatsu/go to bat for him and while Osomatsu sometimes uses this knowledge for selfish purposes (like to prevent Karamatsu from getting on his case), at the end of the day, Emma is kind of like the sister he never had. He treats her a bit similar to "Ichimacchan" where his teasing for her is much lighter/friendlier and tries to hype her up when he can if she's in a depressed mood.

And Emma will sometimes (gently) urge him to make a better choice if she can, like "maybe one drink is enough for tonight... i-if only so you can walk me back to my place properly, I mean." and he sometimes actually listens because somehow he feels and knows that she genuinely feels like he has a good heart under all his "Oso-ness". They don't judge each other for their flaws and understand they're both a lot more complicated than the rest of the world seems to think, and I think it's sweet.

I'd sum up their relationship with this song (Oso as Ryan and Emma as Will Ferrell lmao) and why I feel like they're a good influence on each other:

The art of Emma and the Matsus celebrating their birthdays together by itself!

[sharkems]

✨️ sprinkling asks upon your doorstep ✨️

does emma's birthday hold importance to her? how would she prefer to celebrate it—fancy food, or cozied at home, etc.? does she like big or small gatherings for her birthday, or does she prefer her birthday go unacknowledged?

Emma's birthday is May 25. She's a Gemini (Leo Moon, Capricorn Rising) in Western zodiac and a Water Rooster (Hen?) in Chinese zodiac!

Her birthdays throughout her life have been hit and miss. When she was a child, they were fun of course, but in her late teens and throughout her 20s, her birthdays were often days where tragic coincidences occurred or something tragic happened shortly after. So she gets nervous about birthdays but also, at the same time, gets excited if people want to celebrate it. Her preference is a mix of having some peaceful time at home but also having friends come over to celebrate with her, though nothing CRAZY like over 10 or 15 people!

Since her birthday is a day after the Matsuno brothers, I don't think they'd LET her let it go unacknowledged LMAO! I feel like they'd want to share their birthday leftovers with her and use things they had already set up for their own birthday for hers'. Aside from dating Karamatsu, she has close friendships with Osomatsu and Ichimatsu, so I can imagine they probably all try to rally the brothers for it (well, Osomatsu does at least). Her favorite for her birthday is ice cream cake or cheesecake, and pizza for the savory option!

I also like to imagine that since Emma and Karamatsu have their birthdays so close, they really enjoy celebrating their birthdays with each other too!

the brothers had their turn, now it's mine, happy bday to me; matsus you can wait another 364 days

me opening tomodachi life today and realizing I have to sit through six birthday cutscenes

[osodvd]

warmup .. im off again

[sharkems]

Because of all the Choro on my dash I feel a need to say this to the Choro yumes.

Choromatsu would pay 50k to an indie animator for a "hideaway" music video featuring him and you/your character and then it would get leaked before he could explain.

[heedra]

sitting every male indie animator and cartoonist and game dev down in a saw-trap-like scenario where the cost of their freedom is designing at least one main female character who doesn't look like she's from the shantae games, and working our way forward from there

BIRTHDAY FEVER

[sharkems]

I don't actually know how often people use bluesky but I ended up making a bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/sharkems.bsky.social

Just in case. Seems like people are a bit more active here though. I have a twitter as well but haven't seen as many people using it (understandable) so I fell off it a bit.

[sharkems]

I do at least have this that I drew for them about 2 years ago (unfortunately haven't been able to draw much in those 2 years but am hoping to find time and energy to draw something this year)

Happy birthday Matsunos, I've been invested in you guys and like ONLY you guys in terms of art and writing for 10 years now, yIPPIE!!!

[hollie-san]

Happy Birthday Osomatsu! 🎉🎉🎉

Blessings for your birthday! Blessings for your every day!

[sharkems]

Having my birthday a day after the Matsus is always such a treat because it means I get a bunch of adorable art of the Matsus having their bday on MY bday!!

I'm still trying to work on something for it but it might be late since plans to celebrate my own often interfere but I definitely want to do something.
