Suggest a character and palette, I'm going to try and do a few as warm ups

I realize this might be too much of an open call so maybe I'll just limit it to those who follow me?

For context I'm going to make one for myself but it's more expensive to do low quantity runs. So maybe I can do preorders if people are interested?

The idea that Kenjaku sees Gojo fighting and just like looks introspectively at Geto like "bro, you left that?"

And Geto sad girl energy but proudly nodding like "Yep, thats my bbygirl. I left that baddie"

Peak angst. Gege i need them together in hell at least.

I feel like my Jun hc doesn't align with fanon Jun.

Like I compare him a lot to Ruan Nanzhu from KoD but I really do see them being the same kind of brat. The kind to act cute and docile while snickering in the background. And to a degree if you see him snickering it means he probably likes you to some degree to see the real version of him.

I like the idea of Jun being cute towards Tatsuya and getting him to flirt in front of other people. Tatsuya would be shy about it at first but want to indulge his boyfriend. Jun would want him to do it both because he's possessive ("uwu isn't my boyfriend sooooo handsome? Well keep looking cause he loves me and only me") and because he wants to tease his boyfriend. Tatsuya would soon come to realize this and of course would just lay it on thicker and try to get his boyfriend to blush.

He and Lisa would be best friends in the long run but have the most toxic mean girl start before realizing they're so much more powerful together. They're both outsiders so they get the need to be a certain level of mean especially towards people who act on bad faith. But they wont realize that until they're adults. Until then they're friends but they do try to outshine each other and fight over a boy. When lisa eventually gets over Tatsuya she'll try and flirt with other boys. Jun would have 0 interest in them but would 100% flirt with them just to one up Lisa. It would be a problem between him and Tatsuya. It would be their first real fight as a couple. And a good growing moment for Jun.

When they're adults and more well adapted Jun and Lisa will be able to sit down and have a difficult conversation where they'll be able to forgive each other for their actions when they were younger. It'll be the start of their best friend era. They're the kind of best friends who will call each other everyday just to see how their day went. Lisa would be the one to teach him to express himself through fashion. He would have a secret interest in visual kei thanks to eikichi. Lisa would be the one that teaches him that clothes have no gender (in the future when eikichi Tatsuya and Jun start performing Jun would be iconic for his outfits)

Eikichi is protective of Jun and Jun takes full advantage of that. "My big brother can kick your ass" leads to Eikichi getting his ass kicked more often than he wants to admit before he starts working out. His first and only attack is lifting Jun over his shoulder before hauling ass out of the scene. Jun is all devil horns when it comes to Eikichi. All his fights would never be against bigger guys. He would instead target girls (mostly Lisa) knowing eikichi would not fight back.

Eikichi is also unfortunate in that he never really understands that his bros are dating. Not in the sense that he doesn't know Tatsuya and Jun are dating but in the sense that he doesn't realize they're on a date and he just wedged himself between. It becomes a problem early on that the two can't get alone time between Lisa trying to sabotage their dates and eikichi just being there. Jun, in hopes of making eikichi understand, would start some excessive pda. Eikichi still would not understand. He at most would turn his back to them before continuing the conversation. Eventually this is just normal to them. On tour during their broke era the 3 would share a room. There would be at least 3 incidents where tatsuya and Jun would have sex in the room with eikichi in the room before they all realize maybe they need to set boundaries. They never actually set boundaries.

Also, miyabi is very aware of all this. The need to set a boundary is brought up by her. ("I don't think either of you would be comfortable with Eikichi and I sleeping together while you're trying to sleep" 3 confused faces would stare back at her "but Id be sleeping?") When in highschool Jun would plan double dates only for Eikichi to show up alone. Jun would later learn that if he wanted Miyabi to show up he would have to plan the double date through Miyabi. It isn't anything intentionally malicious. Eikichi just thinks they're having boys dates forgetting that the other 2 boys are boyfriends.

With Maya Jun is pure sugar. He goes full baby boy energy. Maya knows the horns are there and can see it when adding another person to their interactions (especially Tatsuya. As cute as he acts with Tatsuya he can't help but tease him and Maya can see it clearly). He can never be a little mean to Maya so Maya teases him knowing he'll never do anything back.

This is all super rambly but I have no other idea how to express how I see him besides trying to get across that while he's a pretty boy he'd also be a stinky boy. The kind who wears all black and steals his friends clothes. He knows how pretty he is and the older he gets the more he uses it to his advantage to start drama and walk away. He would be the type who would see someone checking him out and if they have a partner would come up to flirt and then walk away from a disaster. The type who gets himself into trouble and then laugh as they away with the person who came to save him.

The type who would be a nightmare teenager that smokes and drinks and goes out late at night. Not sneak out because he lacks the adult supervision but would for sure be out late at night. Probably sneak into Tatsuya's room if Tatsuya can't sneak out, or go to music venues with eikichi if they can.

And as corny as it is I love the idea of them becoming more tamed with becoming a parent (bc y'all know I love that flower child au). Tamed not in the sense where they suddenly become perfect parents but in the sense that they would work hard to hide the fact that they smoke. Going to extreme measures to make sure Akira never catches them smoking. Eventually Tatsuya would quit and Jun would follow just because he wants to be a supportive husband. Jun would regret all his social media posts and fame when Akira gets older. Everyone jokes how Jun is being punished for his own antics when Akira takes after him personality wise (dramatic and bratty).

My normie friend just found my not normie Instagram and followed it. do I pretend its not big deal or do I draw hairless cat shizun meme??

The best part of what happened in the last few chapters of jjk is that satosugu fanart has this air of nostalgia now. Like they have this tragic lovers storyline of childhood sweethearts who got a divorced and ran into each other again the day before the meteor is about to blow up the planet. And theyre just straight up vibing like "honey, sorry im late. But look! I m finally home. Can that be enough?" And theyre looking at each other like "dumbass??? It was always going to be enough"

Idk I got a lot of feelings about them and want to draw it out but I got plural amount of jobs going on right now.

Something I've been thinking about but I want to preface that this is not a critique there is no research behind this thought this is purely my opinion and feelings on a novel and more specifically a character.

Also spoilers for the end of kaleidoscope of death.

Okay so I would in no way call the novel trans positive. I don't think that was the intention in writing the novel nor was there any intention for Ruan Nanzhu to be interpreted as trans. He is simply a man who likes to wear women's clothing and has a whole persona around it. It's fun and I love his character more for it. I don't think any of the dialogue is intentionally malicious but I can see how someone who is in a more sensitive part of transition could find discomfort in some wording. Again this isn't a critique I just wanted to acknowledge this before I gave my actual opinion so there's an understanding that I'm trying to say this in good faith.

I as someone who does identify as trans really like a specific aspect in Ruan Nanzhu's gender fluidity. In that he did in a way choose his gender. He was the door, a genderless being, and he not only picked to be a man but he picked to introduce himself to Lin Qiushi in drag as a woman. Knowing how he inserted himself into Lin Qiushi's story there does feel like there is reason and purpose there and imo it's to the benefit of rounding Ruan Nanzhu's character and makes him feel more relatable. It felt like he as the door he fell for Lin Qiushi so he picked an identity that would be most appealing (conformed to heteronormativity and presented femme) only to reveal that the femme self wasn't his authentic self. It was only in trusting in Lin Qiushi after the first door that he presented himself as who he truly is, Ruan Nanzhu.

And if I'm allowed to have my queer little interpretation of the novel let me just say I fucking love this so much. As someone born afab and as someone who comes from an immigrant family with very strict gender roles I found this to hit very close. Especially the joy that Ruan Nanzhu gets from dressing up because it was something that I felt had ostracized me from a lot of other transmen. It was the fact that I had always self identified as masc but after 18 years of being taught to doll up I did find enjoyment in femme presenting clothing. It felt inauthentic to tell others that I was a man when I did like to sometimes wear dresses and do my makeup. Like yes I do have gender dysphoria and wish I could one day transition but even if I do ever transition I don't think I would stop dressing in skirts and doing my makeup.

Am I possibly just reaching? Maybe. But it's my interpretation of his character and has brought me a lot of joy.
