Hi I will die for Tafa I ADORE his design and I'm!!! Really interested on what kind of lore you have with him and Tamsy!!

He looks like such a cute guy (even as an ex-Raider) so it's almost hard to see what draws him to Tamsy, but that just intrigues me more.

Does he Know? I suppose first I should ask if you're caught up with the manga, but if you are, what does Tafa know about Tamsy's goals? About his past?

Is Tafa a part of those? Does he help?

How does he feel about people's opinions on Tamsy? What is his opinion on Tamsy?

What does he feel when, say Rudo tells Tamsy that he's a 'trustworthy, upstanding guy'? Or how about characters like Corvus who are more wary of Tamsy?

Is he open or close with any of the other Cleaners?

What drew him to be a Raider in the first place? Does he believe in Zodyl's goal?

What drew him to the Cleaners? Was is Tamsy? Is he a part of Team Eager?

Do you think Tamsy was a part of the same Sphere-worshiping cult that Zodyl was? We have several voice lines where he does- though sarcastically- refer to the Sphere as if it were something spiritually above the Ground ("Our little presents from the Sphere" being one off the top of my head because this line rattles around in my brain constantly)

Are you,,, open/looking for Tamsy/Gachiakuta fan friends? Or perhaps maybe GachiakutaOC friends? No worries if not! I kinda wanted to ask more, but I realize I don't know if you've read the manga.

Okay so I have a lot to unpack here omg, tysm for the ask this is lovely!! I'd love more mutuals to talk to about OC stuff as well hehe

So firstly I am fully caught up to the manga, and I do have my own theories that me and my partner have thought up. My theories include that Tamsy and the apostles seem to worship the watchman in some regard, and that Tamsy's plans directly relate to that and the connection Rudo has to the watchman, aiming toward raising rudo to godhood. (I can make a whole post on that if you'd like to know that more in depth. I'm trying to keep it short for now!)

Tafa's backstory relates to this theory directly, while the ground is a faithless place (based on mymo in the current arc), Tafa's backstory relates to the idea that a book with Some writing on the watchman in a divine sense would fall off the sphere and onto the ground. Where Tafas family generations earlier would have found and picked up.. building a small shrine/temple for it. Its a small place honestly and no one goes to it, it's really out of the way (think like Amo's tower) where Tafa grows to be a grounds keeper over, as well as lived in most his life.

Tafa's story only connects him to everything else once his family's home is crushed by trash rain and he wants to take the sphere down in revenge. this is when he's a raider. He truly did believe in Zodyl's goal and still does as a cleaner.

Him becoming a cleaner deeply relies on corvus finding him and giving him an offer, somewhere along the lines of "you have answers to questions we have about the sphere and the ground. Join us, and we'll ease that ache without bloodshed." And Tafa listens and joins with a LOT of convincing.

I won't go too in depth on his backstory here but to sum it up nicely- Tafa does eventually find out about Tamsy and his plans, and to an extent Tafa finds his own purpose in it. And kind of assists him after that in it..

Tafa believes he can "soften the blow" for Rudo on whatever it is Tamsy is planning. Like making it easier for Rudo to handle or adjust to. Tamsy is clearly coming from a point of devotion, a spiritual love and dedication to it. Like a mission from his god he simply must act out. Tafa understands this greatly because of his past and upbringing. Though his connection to Tamsy comes way earlier and way more naturally..

Tafa has kind of a rough adjustment to the cleaners after being a raider for so long. But hes pretty close to team eager, the kiddos of team akuta (everyone but Enjin tbh), corvus, he's quite close to Semiu and they def have a brother/sister connection I like to think :D he also LOVES bro Santa. They are BROS.

Id like to make a relations chart for Tafa and the cleaners, as well as the raiders. I actually have all of the raiders written up if that's of interest ^^

I wanna do animation memes with tapestry (tafa and tamsy <3) I'm thinking fashion meme and maybe one other...

Man, you know what? Live your life. Do whatever you want. Do what you love. Unless it’s illegal, then tone it down a bit. Hug yourself. Pat yourself on the back. Give a pep talk to yourself. I remember someone saying to us that if you start saying something to or about yourself, it’ll progressively come true. So do that. Compliment yourself. Get up your own ass! I think that’s better than hating yourself, which you don’t deserve. Tell people you love them. Be there for people and let people be there for you. Love the best life you can. Who’s stopping you? Only yourself, hopefully, but you can change that, right? Do it. Make yourself happy because you deserve it.

I really hated being “popular.” I still hate it. I hate how well known I am. If I’ve ever lost friends or drifted from them, I hope they forgot about me. I don’t really want to be a thought to people, you know? I really do hate the limelight. I put myself out there, like in theatre or art, but I don’t like it. I only do the things people claim I’m good at. I don’t want to be everywhere. As much as I do love making friends and the little pals I have here, I hope I never become as popular as I was on Instagram. A majority of my time on there became an anchored sample of Hell. Limelight just... didn’t turn out as fun as it looked!

Quick random question!! I know you're probably primarily working on OC art (love to see it!!), but I figured I'd shoot my shot anyways-

Are you open to doing art commissions? Now or at any time (and does/would that change if the idea were perhaps Tamsy-related?)

I do commissions fairly often yeah! I haven't advertised on here since my profile is pretty small right now and I'm keeping it all fun ^^

if you were interested you can dm me though and I can send you my prices! I've done fanart commissions and yume related ones (those are def my favorite) since Tamsy is in the picture haha

Hi this might be a weird question, but how do you feel about manga cover OC drawings? A lot of OC artists adore them even though Urana Kei has asked fans not to use her designs as templates, so I was wondering if you had the intention to do something like that also.

Sorry for bothering you. Your art is so cool and your coloring style is sick, so you seem like the type of artist who would gravitate towards that sort of thing. I like your original arts more personally!

Hello!! And don't worry you haven't bothered me at all ^^

The oc manga covers were something people did in the demon slayer oc fandom a lot too. And it's something I just never got around to doing despite being in that fandom/community for YEARS.

I honestly understand where kei urana is coming from, I understand the oc community wanting to make them as well and the fun behind them but honestly I don't plan on making one myself, I have way more other things I'd use that time drawing instead.

Currently I'm working on a one page comic for tamsy and tafa which I love waayyy more LMAO
