Yo. My name's Katie, and this here is just a simple place for me to put whatever I feel like. It's mostly trash. Icon credit goes to padalickingood. Thanks for making such a cute Ray! Current obsessions are typically listed in the extra links on the right and are subject to change.
:’D Sadly, this is as far as I got into Inktober this year. For the record, this is the farthest I’ve ever lasted in one, so I’m very proud of myself for that.

Day 8: Frail
The Noragami AU nobody wanted or asked for. Eizen is a god of misfortune who’s perpetually done with everything. Rokurou’s a wandering spirit who’s been taken in and discarded by gods left and right for one reason or another. Eizen is the sixth god who’s named him this year, hence the unimaginative name of ‘Mutsu’. Eizen’s preferred suffix is -mi, making Rokurou’s name ‘Mutsumi’. As a weapon, his name is ‘Rokki’. We imagine he becomes a full ensemble shinki, with some flavor of kimono and shifting weaponry. qwq there’s way more to this AU but uhh that’s for another time. One thing I realized after I drew this was I used the wrong kanji - Noragami is fancy and uses an older/sealed script style of writing for their names, so Roku’s kanji should look more like
Ah well. If I ever expand on this AU, I’ll correct it. XD
Day 9: Swing
A play on how the whole party (but especially Roku, it’s p much canon with him) rocks the bi/pan energy. For the record, EiRokuMagi is a severely underappreciated OT3. Also, swing dancing. Cute clothes, cute clothes, cute clothes.
Day 10: Pattern
Soulmate AU. Was just gonna be simple names on hands, but I wanted to give Roku more tattoos-in-place-of-daemon-markings, so now it’s Complicated. In this universe, if you have a soulmate, their name appears when you turn 16. When Rokurou gets his, he’s so enamored by the idea that he has one that he adds more and more ink every year as a way to show his growing love. Eventually, he’ll get the rest of his sleeve filled in. In Eizen’s case, he had a rough teenage life, getting in fights regularly and being a not so great kid. When Rokurou’s name appears on his hand, already warped and scarred from his outings on the street, it gives him an epiphany of sorts, and he uses the name as a way to recenter and meditate on his life and clean up his act. He doesn’t start out fluent in Japanese, and honestly still isn’t. He gets the katakana reading of the name tattooed on his fingers to help him read it.
Day 11: Snow
I already did something in the snow, so instead I drew a cute date where Eizen and Roku get some shaved snow. It’s ube flavor.
Day 12: Dragon
[cries in spoilers]
Day 13: Ash
The Rokurou we know and love was reborn out of the ashes of his way edgier concept art. But man. What could have been, ya know?
Day 14: Overgrown
[cries in spoilers x2] I think about postgame Roku a lot ok. It’s up in the air how long he lives, so who knows, maybe he outlives the whole party and beyond, all the way through Zesty. That’s a pretty lonely existence, I’d think. Not that Roku can feel the full weight of that loneliness. He always makes a point to visit Eizen and pour one out for him, at least.
Yes, every prompt is filled with Eiroku. Because there’s not enough of this ship and I’m a desperate bean.

Day 1: Ring
They’re married. Sorry I don’t make the rules.
Day 2: Mindless
The fastest way to make me into a pile of goo is to play with my hair. Rokurou is the same way, probably. /shrug
Day 3: Bait
Gay fishing aboard the Van Smalltia (name courtesy of @thatisntscience. He better finish the fic it gets used in, because I am never getting over the Van Smalltia, and I need everyone else to know about the wonders that is the Van Smalltia).
Day 4: Freeze
I can’t imagine a gayer date than being cozy out in the cold while watching the aurora in the most aesthetic town in the whole game. I’m sure there was an equally gay hot springs adventure afterwards. :3c
Day 5: Build
Accidental android AU. Eizen winds up working as a higher up in a government facility specifically to be a mole and sell the lab’s secrets to a rival facility/country/faction, but oops he fell in love with the company experiment somewhere along the way and now there’s Conflict.
Day 6: Husky
When ya boy drops the voice down low. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Day 7: Enchanted
So there’s a mythological hybrid AU I made art and notes for forever ago. Uhhh, basically, Rokurou is a centaur, only instead of a horse, he’s mixed with parts of a kirin and an ibex. Eizen is a merman inspired off of a leafy sea dragon and a threadfin dragonfish. I have scads of notes and ideas for the rest of the party, but I’ve only really mocked up concept art for these two. I should probably post that at some point. :’D
Have lowkey been talking about how I started writing a Berseria fic over a year ago. I’m still barely even into it, but I’ve consistently been writing when I’ve had the spare time, and even though it was last summer when I first played Berseria, I’m still highkey hyperfocusing on it, which is pretty impressive since I usually jump to the next New Thing when I run out of fandom to consume. And Bersy’s fandom is...not very big, comparatively speaking. Especially the Eiroku content, it’s weirdly nonexistent over here in the West. How? The game gives us so much to work with for them (for the whole party, really), and yet it’s such a rarepair? Bless Japan for throwing me a bone every now and then. I need a second shelf for my doujin now.
Anyway, I have a lot of anxiety writing this thing, since it’s been a long time since I sat down to write anything and this is the most effort I’ve put into a project like this since like, high school. :’D But I’m going to try to make some headway on it for Nano, so that’s probably when I’ll don my brave boye pants and throw what I have written on ao3.
The only problem is. It still doesn’t have a title.
so we moved into a new house over the weekend and while i think i’m going to like it a lot once we get everything put away and settled, we have the Most Cursed bathroom
first of all there’s a step leading into it but the door closes before it so you open it and surprise step. very easy to trip
it’s fucking carpeted. like. around the sink is not carpeted but the carpeting goes right up to and behind the toilet. what do you do if the toilet floods
there’s ... this. baby changing station i guess? weird counter
big window with no way of putting curtains on it
four places to hang towels even though there’s no shower in this bathroom
there’s also a hallway leading to this bathroom but it’s the only thing that the hallway leads to
this got a note and it reminded me so here’s a fun update on the house so far:
murder shed
the doors to the murder shed would be open every morning when i got up, no matter how early i got up, without fail. the doors are both latched and bolted. they would always open in the middle of the night. one day this just STOPPED happening and i have not been in there since. it hasn’t opened in like two weeks. we’ve had severe storms and sudden fluctuations in temperature. they have remained closed
cursed bathroom
the door has slats in it. like you can hear through the door and look through it if youre looking at the right angle
the toilet is not stable. like it leans if you move and jiggles. im worried one day its just going to tip over and spill all over the carpet
the faucet handle is broken. you can turn it on fine but it just comes off if you try to turn the water off. you have to jam it back on, hold the handle into the base, and force it down
the toilet has the slowest flush i’ve ever witnessed. every single time i think its either not going to flush or its going to back up. like flushing this toilet is a prolonged experience
misc
there are multiple entrances to every room but only one lightswitch in each and its never by the door it should be. my roommate’s light switch is like in the middle of the wall
i think my ceiling fan is a ghost fan? (rotom??) like no matter what speed you have it on, even if its moving very quickly, it produces no change in air current whatsoever. you can hear the blades whooshing but absolutely cannot feel any sort of breeze no matter where you’re standing in the room
the basement has a bathroom, with a completely non-enclosed shower (its just a showerhead on the wall in the corner) and theres no drain its just a six inch hole in the floor. like going into dirt. there’s a garden hose going down into the hole and i dont know what its for
there is a large dark stain in the middle of the carpet in one room (small person sized)
when we came to tour the house the only things in it were a broken dollhouse and several stacks of childrens books written in hebrew (there are only 5,000 jews in all of iowa (0.2% of the population) and i am one of those people)
i will add on as i discover more cursed things about my house
so i finally worked up the chutzpah to go down and take pictures of the basement bathroom (thank you @iseedeadsneeeple for going down with me even though i walked in all the spider webs first)
i revoke the original post that said that was the most cursed bathroom. it is truly the basement bathroom that holds that title. Cursed indeed
starting you off with the easy pic because you need time to mentally prepare yourself
rest here, traveler. the journey ahead is treacherous
okay, i warned you
here’s the shower. just like. on the wall. no sort of enclosed space whatsoever
don’t worry about drainage you got this sick ass hole in the floor with the basement hose. you know, the basement hose, found in every standard basement?
the toilet, conveniently situated right next to the fuse box so you won’t be scared if the power goes out when you’re pooping!
but ALAS. what’s this?
oh yeah, it’s just that dark space under the stairs that’s right behind the toilet half wall. but don’t worry - if you’re concerned about someone watching you while you’re on the toilet, there’s some blinds you can pull down!
anyway can someone tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS HOUSE
Work went a little late today and I was super busy all day so I wasn’t able to get the raws until now, but thankfully the gods blessed me with what appears to be a pretty simple chapter to translate and edit so I should still get the translation out tonight.
