Hello hello, tumblr, it’s been a while. I figured I’d come back and post my art here because everywhere sucks.

Ballerina Ruru slaps the mimic.

When Ruin said in today's episode that he wanted to learn how to dance like a Ballerina for something, I had this vine ( I could only find it in compilations) in my head and needed to draw it.

This is the first time I have drawn Ruru and Ballora. Ruru's design is based on @ayyy-imma-ninja character design.

[milky-rozen]

Made some Roman Version designs for Isis, Ruru and Anubis 🙌🏽✨

Carlos alone without his man, Flavio alone without his man, Ruru on a date, Jakub and Tomas wondering what they're doing there. 😂

jannik called in sick so now its just iga and carlos flying together

but its my star trek au (in which carlos is a helmsman) with fedal casper+iga+carlos tennis family agenda

(on a side note: casper is like this bcs one time both their parents were on a field mission together and they went missing for three weeks but iga and carlos were too young to remember. he does not tell them about it, and also dont think its right to ask for info beyond the access permission of his rank just bcs he has siblings well on the elite officer route)
