Life is changeamazing¹ (人生カワタ二エン) - グラビティ
Be ready for
Gah! Gah! Gah!² I was hit
Multiple bullets from a word-based machine gun
Stab! Splat! Rira!³ It pierced me
The “you’re ugly” from that day -- and it always stuck with me
Come at me, cold life
There’s no such thing as a reality full of hope
Come at me, my resentment
Opened my eyes and changed my life⁴
In your heart
In my heart
In your heart, revolution

A cool future

How does it change based on determination?
Huh? Huh? Huh? All I do is endure
My life is not satisfying
“What’s convenient is better than the truth, huh? That’s the supercatastrophend⁶”
Seriously, life is changeamazing
That’s destiny
Come at me, cold life
There’s no such thing as a reality full of hope
I truly hated it so much
That shitty life where I pretended to be a good person
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
You’ve always known too
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
In a cool future
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
Where there’s no good or bad
How do we change?
The determination found in finiteness
Made me realize in this bullying world
That it’s all just a switching between angel and devil mode
Which repeatedly turns off reason
Behind those cold words
Is there perhaps some lingering intention?
Just getting started
Choosing accurately my choices
I keep changing with determination
In a future where I slip towards the dark side
I keep changing with determination
In a future where I choose good and keep walking
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
Those tormented days
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
Leave behind
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
Not just existential pessimism
But something more
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
You’ve always known too
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta
A cool future

How does it change based on determination?
BadBadBadlyBadly runtatta

Where there’s no good or evil
Then how do we live?

¹kawatanien was invented by Roku mixing yabatanien, a slang version of yabai (meaning “cool”, but it can have many meanings depending on context), and kawaru (“to change”). I interpret it as meaning something along the lines of “how cool it is that life can be changed”
²onomatopoeia for being hit by bullets
³the first two sounds are respectively the onomatopoeia for being stabbed and for a liquid that drips (I suppose blood?), the third sound I couldn’t find anything about it but in the original it sort of echoes the second one so I’m guessing it’s something like “blood drips and its sound echoes”
⁴I think it could be both “that changed my life” but also “that pushed me to change my life”
⁵runtatta doesn’t mean anything. As for “badly”, Roku says in his blog that he interprets it as not to be read as the adverb of bad but rather with the connotation of “wanting something badly”
⁶this was fun to research hahah owatakusuzeian was again invented by Roku mixing yabatakusuzeian (2010s slang to mean when a situation is particularly bad), and owari (“end”) -- which put together I think are meant to elevate the badness of the situation by +100 hahah
Whumpee being on a few months of recovery after being rescued from captivity where they were brutally tortured, only to then be confronted by Whumper in a random battle and just completely be taken back. Whumper approaching them and their friends, gathered around and Knowing Who This Is but unable to move because Whumper is so close to Whumpee now and if they even try and attack Whumper it could spell certain death for Whumpee. So they watch as Whumper stalks up to Whumpee, who has frozen in their tracks, eyes locked on their past tormenter and wide as a dear in headlights.
Whumper reaches Whumpee just two feet in front of them, sharing the same air. They look at Whumpee from below their lids
"Kneel."
Whumpee falls instantly too their knees, eyes glazed over in fear and unwilling submission. Their friends watch, horrified; Whumper circles them, trailing a hand to cup under Whumpee's chin and Whumpee is visibly shaking.
"Still so good for me, Whumpee."
Whumpers voice is nearly a purr. They wrench back Whumpee's head to look at them and a tear streaks down Whumpee's cheek. Whumper smiles.
"Let's show your friends just how good you can be for me, yeah? I'm sure they would all love to hear your beautiful screams. Open."
Whumpee opens their mouth immediately, almost instinctually. A flash of metal, and Whumper drags a knife down the front of Whumpee's chest. They cut through cloth, exposing and ripping anew the mess of scars on Whumpee's front, evidence of Whumpee's past musings.
From Whumpee's mouth, ajar, comes a piercing shriek, underlied with so much fear and pain of present and past that Whumpee's friends flinch away.
Finally, one of Whumpee's friends lurches forward, engaging Whumper in combat and forcing them away from Whumpee. Whumpee kneels there, trembling but somehow still upright. The other two friends come forward, one of them cradling Whumpee's cheeks and coaxing them out of their haze. Light returns to Whumpee's irises and their eyes fill with tears.
The duel rages behind them as Whumpee sinks to their hands and knees, pressing their head into their friends chest as they sob. Their tears mix with drops of blood on the ground below them and their friend places a hand on their back uncertainly.
Even when their friend wins the duel and Whumper flees, all of them know that they hadn't really won anything at all.

Harry Potter OC #2 - Araki RIkuto
And so the Harry Potter series continues... I don’t have a drawing ready this time, but I probably will very soon. Enjoy!!
--------------------------------------------------
Age: 17
Hair: long and ginger, she usually likes to tie it in two braids and to wear a red headband
Eyes: brown and almond-shaped
Distinguishing features: freckles on her face and shoulders
Extra info: even though her immediate family is mostly Asian, her father’s side of the family is characterized by various cultures. That’s why she and her siblings have more of a “western” appearance.
---------------------------------------------------
Rikuto is the second oldest of four children. She has an older brother called Jun'ichi, a twin brother named Atsushi and a younger sister called Rio. Her mother is Ito Junko and her father is Araki Hideyoshi. Rikuto and Atsushi are not identical twins. He looks more like their father while she is more like their mother: bold, stubborn and full of energy. Her father is a very famous auror, but Rikuto doesn't like to act smug about it. She would much rather be seen for her own achievements, but she doesn't hide the fact that Hideyoshi is her father. She gets along best with her older broter Jun'ichi.
Rikuto spent the larger part of her childhood with her uncle Chihiro as her parents were always very busy and needed the extra help with their children. To this day she still brags about being uncle's favourite niece. Spending time with him while observing his excellent work with magical creatures taught Rikuto how to solve any sort of problem with calm and ease.
On her first year of Hogwarts she was sorted into Gryffindor and immediately made a bunch of new friends. Her brother Atsushi ended up in Slytherin instead, but that never put a strain on their relationship, since Rikuto's mother always taught her to be respectful and not judgemental regardless of skin colour, religion or house. At the end of the day Atsushi was still her brother and she loved him.
Rikuto is particularly gifted in Defense against the dark arts and Charms.
Jun'ichi and their cousin, Takara, often go around the school pulling pranks on the stdents and they usually bring Rikuto along with them. That's probably one of the reasons why she and Ridley get along so well. Other than pulling pranks and hanging out with Ridley, Rikuto also spends her free time with Atsushi and his best friend Sebastian.
When her little sister Rio finally came to Hogwarts, Rikuto always made sure to keep an eye on her, but she never invaded her personal space because of it.
Since she was just a little girl, Rikuto has always dreamt of becoming a famous auror like her father, but after seeing more of her uncle's job as a caretaker for magical creatures, she is not so sure of what career path she should pursue anymore...
This image woke me up in the middle of the night. Now it gets to haunt all of you too.
