Eri: You really like that cap of mine, y’know. Shiki: I made it, it was mine from the start!

I don't really ship anyone in MP100, but Emimob and Riteru are the two pairs that come close to interest me, so it's nice to actually see someone draw them!

I have a lot of ships I like because of different dynamics, and EmiMob and RiTeru are super fantastic for that. They can be a lot of fun to write and draw!

(This is an old ask, I’m sorry for such a late response)

I feel so inspired whenever I see your artworks. Whenever I look at them I want to grab my stylus and start to draw. They're just soooo good. By any chance, do you mind if I ask you what kind of brush settings you use?

Hi thank you!

Alright a lot of people have been asking this and I always say i really just use the default pastel brush on photoshop but not exactly? (Atleast from what i remember its very tiring to explain)

but here, i use two main brushes that I just made myself.  

A slightly altered version of the pastel brush.

and a slightly altered version of the round brush (with the opacity down at 50) 

There you go! Hope you can replicate it with these!

Don't you guys find it hilarious they used the scene where Star and River hugged Eric in the promo. Like, 'Who is Moon? I only know traitor. Eric is my real mom.'

Lots of big brain asks today, I’m lucky!

Next Week! [TWEwY AU] by PMiller1 on DeviantArt

What would happen if the two did made it out in the RG in just after the 1st week? What if they came back in a normal Reaper Game? A Good AU that what!

Sigh, I hate to pester you with ship-related questions but, I know Janna ends up bringing up a good point about Tom needing to get a life, but since Tom doesn't seem to learn anything in the end, the whole subplot just boils down to a minor Jantom tease and a set up for the Wham Shot with Mina's armor. (1/2)

I know the issue will probably come back in the future when Tomar's end is near, but the ep seems to also suggest an eventual Pair the Spares between these two despite also showcasing why Janna might be bad romantically (even worse than Star) for Tom. She essentially manipulated him to do what she wanted and being a hypocrite about Tom's compact too. Unless Jannanigans (or whatevs) makes me respect Janna's relationship with Tom more, eventual Jantom is still pretty concerning to me.

It’s true that the episode didn’t develop things for Tom as much as I would have liked, but it still introduce and absolutely fundamental theme and question

The kids in this show, they’re impressively dumb. They need to be slapped in the face by reality again and again to actually grow, and as such the simple act of making a theme that had been going on since S3 this explicitly is extremely important, providing a priceless precedent for future developments (potentially next week already, since we get a Tom / Marco episode?). Also you’re right about the manipulation, ultimately Janna and Tom enjoyed themselves, but she was clearly not fully depicted in a good light in this segment, we’ll see where this goes. Still, I think it was actually a good choice to use Janna: it’s in her personality to make remarks like that to Tom, it fits, but at the same time it’s in her personality not to get any deeper into it, and this allowed the episode not to develop things too much and have Tom just begin to potentially have the seed of doubt planted into him - had something like this happened with Marco, other than feelings deeply out of place given their precedents, it’d have needed to lead to major developments for sure.

All in all I think they used this pairing in this episode to give more screentime to Janna, since they clearly like the character (and I do, too!) while also introducing a theme for Tom with a context that allowed it not to be immediately developed. I wouldn’t be too worried about Jantom, honestly, seems like they might purely go for “Wow the more friends I have the happier I am maybe it’s not dating that I really need!”.

Were they implying that Marco also had a hand on creating the Firstborn? Star mentioned how she didn't know where Firstborn got her neat freakness from and the Starco scenes boiling down into a string of parenting and baby-making gags. It's Mama Star and Papa Marco. Considering their souls were still bonded when she created her, maybe? And is it just me, or Firstborn's 'No, no, no, no!" Sounds eerily similar to Marco's usual 'no, no, no, no!'?

There is probably no relation in universe, since there’d be no reason for Marco to have played any role in restoring magic, but in a meta sense it’s fully possible they wanted to keep the “Star and Marco as parents to the unicorns” thing going, yeah.

These are all very BIG BRAIN ENERGY asks.
