typing this up in the n+c server after getting all minked up just. made me realize mink’s my fave now and suffice to say im going thru it brother:
“ugh mink defenders just try to justify his bad actions” NO YOU DONT GET IT
HE NO LONGER BELIEVES HE HAS A LIFE WORTH LIVING SO HE PUTS UP THIS FACADE AND HURTS PEOPLE TO GET HIS GOALS MET. BUT IN SPITE OF IT HE IS FORGIVEN. HE IS GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE WHEN HE SURVIVES OVAL TOWER’S COLLAPSE AND HE TRIES TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME
**ITS ABOUT FORGIVING BOTH ANOTHER AND YOURSELF**
He was given a second chance and Aoba’s simple words “You’re alive” reminded him that he *isnt* gone, he can still be the Mink that once lived as a kind, soft-spoken craftsman in a peaceful village. Aoba wants to see him break out of his shell, to see who Mink truly is. And Mink in turn slowly returns to who he once was with that push. He will always mourn the loss of his community, but he doesn’t have to be haunted anymore
No yk what YOU ARE SO RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT!!
dmmd has it's flaws but its character writing is fucking phenomenal. Mink suffers the most from "It's not that deep" because since he's so closed off and quiet so much about him has to be inferred, and unless you're WILLING to look past the discomfort you'll never see it (granted, easier sad than done. Kinda throwing stones from glass houses here)
I have yet to play it myself but I've always been interested in Mink's Re:C route because the vibes it gives off. Mink, a victim of genocide, living despite his pain and sharing his culture with a man he loves it's so beautiful to me I legit tear up a little
I did the original version of this back in February, so some of you might recall it, but I was rather unsatisfied with the coloring. It felt weak and blah. So I repainted it with a darker palette and went in on the shading a good bit more; the lines are pretty much the only thing unchanged, and I’m pretty happy with the result. Could still be better, but I always think that. Especially now that I’ve realized I didn’t paint Aoba’s right arm correctly. Oh well, back to the tablet...
So since some of my DMMd posts have taken off recently, I thought I might share links to some of my fic here! (I also have an art post on AO3 but it’s not up to date because I never remember to update it)
blue (songs are like tattoos) is the epic omegaverse fic that I’m most proud of. It features the entire main cast in a polycule of which Aoba is the omega and center. I’ve also written several one-shot sequels to fill out bits of the story, along with one final chaptered fic to wind it all up. “blue” is 76k words, the sequels vary in length but it all adds up to around 117k words. The usual warnings apply.
early to bed is the first fic I wrote in DMMd so I had to write smut about my new favorites (KouAo, if you hadn’t guessed). this is how I break into new fandoms.
save me from myself: Aoba's in love with Ren, Koujaku deals with his feels (spoiler alert: not very well), and Mizuki interferes because that's how he shows his love.
see this an hour on the stage: the actor AU that I truly love so much. This one’s KouAo, but I also wrote a Clear/Noiz sequel and there may be a third part eventually.
red: Koujaku has nightmares. Aoba is there for him. A prompt fill for theskee.
Not Even Close: Koujaku only realizes Aoba has left Midorijima after he’s gone. 29k of eventual Aoba/Koujaku/Mink, plus a smutty one-shot followup.
secure yourself to heaven: this vampire/monsterfuckery wip has ruined my life. it’s 10k words in and I love it but I’m also stuck on it. Aoba is a vampire and Koujaku comes back to the island with secrets of his own and vengeance to wreak. I beg folks to read it even though I have no idea when I’ll write more because I’ve been stuck for months. this one’s done! it ended up being about 40k and I highly suggest inspecting the tags before reading, since it’s quite a bit darker/horror themed than the rest of my work.
melting of snow: Mink/Aoba PWP because sometimes you just have to.
That’s just a sample, there’s quite a bit more if you hit my tag at AO3! Please read and maybe leave a comment if you feel so inclined.
WIPs
the Mink/Aoba is redrawn from a Re:Connect CG or something, the art where they’re both being embraced by a skeleton
the Koujaku/Aoba is something I’ve been noodling with, finally got a better angle for Koujaku’s face and caved and lines are being done with rough pencil again
I'm still having issues posting more than one image and rearranging them in a grid, but fortunately I haven't finished much to post. Here's a thing that came out of my brain while I was thinking about writing a Mink/Koujaku/Aoba fic set after the Mink good ending. OK, I lied, I'm not just thinking about it, it has 4000 words right now but I really want to get more done on the Jotakakyo a/b/o arranged marriage fic first. Priorities, you know.
