what's an oc of yours you think is slept on (in the metaphorical sense)?

My Ender form, tbh

I've been embracing it more and more lately and I just love how she looks.

I've thought about making her more 'star creature' than just a Minecraft AU thing (Enderen Taiga) but EH, either way, I love her a lot and I want to do more with her.

That one fucking 2zuki from [time] ago has ruined me, whenever i see incest yuri now i excitedly go "love loses<3!" like a stupid pavlovd dog.

all part of my plans

what's something you learned about drawing that felt like unlocking a whole new set of possibilities? (i.e. like some technique, or a program feature, or something more philosophical)

pretty sure I've re-discovered the smudge brush about 3 times in my art life lmao

It makes for some pretty fire/shading :v

what is the pyjama situation of these people?

really good question; had to wait until i could draw to answer it because the typed answer would be two jokes about references that were removed in the english localization

happie birthday...!!! please tell me about eito aotsuki. any strange evil thoughts about him that you cant share elsewhere. alternatively just whoever is your favorite thlldacharacter. cery sleepy while sending this sorry

it's fine i've hundred line posted on here before (hold on did i put the companion redraw here or just the goldfish picture... :V). that's good trivia though

unfourtunately i have got no secret evil thoughts. i feel pretty comfortable posting whatever the fuck about hundred line because it's got a very high "media cooties" bar, thirty different routes all directed by different people some of which are dogshit, and also it's the danganronpa guy. effuses most "i pretend that part doesn't exist :). it was a translation error. the blue guy is manaka" IME

i can shoot you my posts about multiple and second scenario if/when you've finished them....... i've really gotta play more at some point. i'd do it right now but 6 hours are going to disappear if i do that

imagine being 34.

I know right?

Stealing a question directly from your post here but I do genuinely want to know. What’s your favorite thing about your fic that nobody’s noticed?

impossible for a guy like me to pick one thing and also it's a little presumptuous to assume nobody's noticed something just because they haven't commented on it. really who is writing these questions (lol)

there's a lot of Saito Just Saying Shit lines that i am incredibly fond of for one reason or another and i worry it looks like i'm just doing 'tell don't show' writing because nobody's commented on it.......... a lot of the later chapter lines around ryuki and the fake POV changes in psittacistic especially.

this one i almost took out when i was rereading it before i remembered why i put it in here. maybe that does mean i'm just doing bad writing and blaming it on the character, but, i like it.

I don't know too much about the au but do you think mizuki uses tama as a way of feeling keeping a piece of date around?

it's a little surprising that they never mention tama's appearance in AINI, isn't it? it's so heavy on 'show and then tell' but there's not even the same oblique "modeled on your preferences" line aiba gives in AI1.

...

anyway, the 18 year old mizukis i'm drawing are post date-as-boss dying and therein post the dissolution of ABIS, the only AI-balls that don't remain with their owners in that circumstance are aiba and tama for obvious reasons, mizuki and pewter are the only ones involved in the off-the-record ABIS operation being run out of saito's old murder den, the girl gets both AI-s in her ball, i just draw her with tama more often.

as for why that is, the boring watsonian answer is "tama is usually the one on mizuki's good side because she's more pro-murdering saito" and the boring doylist answer is "i think mizuki getting aiba in aini was a weird bad choice because they're both very similar characters designed to play against Date, her dynamic with tama is more interesting to me both in general and because we never get to see it in game"

as for what i think... the idea of the AI-ball is a very interesting space to play in, both where it's adequately constructed in AI1 and where there's a mess of unaddressed implications from it being retrofitted into the almost sort of sci-fi wish-fulfillment role it takes in AINI. looking at the whole picture, both aiba and tama are 'a piece of Date' in a way: an actual closeness and a healthier answer, or a superficial similarity and an easier answer... something like that?
