Idk what to tell you man, the game literally started with them out on a date that got hyjacked by gay jesus himself - presumably because he looked at the two and went "yep, they'd both live and die for eachother, probably" And he was right!!!
To keep it short (cuz I could seriously go on for ages-) they're easily in my top 5 favourite ships of all time and I'm genuinely devastated they won't be in Kingdom Hearts 4.
Regarding Storm Cypher Desuhiko, I have a massive burning question! What was he like as Number One? Was he more cold? Tired? I would really like to know! (Yes, I know the Storm Cypher asks are getting a tad annoying lmao. But your other art is really good as well! Always puts a smile on my face when you post.) Thanks!
Slightly rushed design/doodle but a very welcome distraction from my coursework lol-
No.1!Desuhiko yearns to be allowed to be stupid and irresponsible and is constantly surprised that everyone believes that his cool, calm and collected persona isn't an obvious act. He'd have found a way to wipe his slate clean and start over fresh if Shinigami wasn't available to wipe his memories eventually but going to Kanai Ward was the best opportunity he's ever gotten to escape his shitty job
The first thing he did after organising his resigning was give himself a gaudy haircut and throw out all the concealer he covered his cheek marks with to make sure there was no backing out <3
Ok now that this is hidden below the cut I can go crazy-
THEY MADE GRANDPA VANILLA EMOOOOOO!!!!! THIS IS WHAT THE PROMISE OF GOOD CLOWN PUSSY DOES TO A MAN!!!! I KNOW THE NEXT UPDATE GUNNA MAKE HIM EVEN MORE COTTAGECORE THEN BEFORE BUT LET ME HAVE THIS!!!! BRO WHEN THEY WERE LIKE "You are my other half! We are two sides of the same coin! :D" I WAS LIKE "SOULMATES????? 0.0" BECAUSE NO- NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME- NO- PLEASE- PLEASE I'M SO SCARED THAT PART 2 OF THIS EVENT WILL RUIN THIS SOMEHOW-
I'm not kidding when I say that the sun/moon coding, the evil clown who's whole thing is lying, the kind hearted hero losing all hope and turning emo??? Tarot/theatre aesthetics and the whole thing with the sheep??? Ugh- I'm genuinely gunna be so mad if this ship doesn't get popular cuz this pairing is a billion times better then any other Pure Vanilla ship I stg-
I have a question regarding Storm Cyper Zilch (Not Yuma or Desuhiko? Absolutely shocking!) Why is his hair brown in this AU rather than the green-black he is in the original Rain Code? Is it a stylistic choice? To show he's the real Zilch?? You're killing me with theories over here!
Please don't die of theories lol!
It's just a stylistic choice. I usually colour pick sprites/models when I colour but Zilch's greenish shade never seems to fit what I'm drawing and I guess that makes me forget he's not a brunette TwT
(Rindude as in me, not the fictional character if that wasn't obvious-)
Anyway- age reveal??? And self-portrait reveal????? ... is it a self-portrait if it isn't in a realistic style? Eh- idc- I had fun drawing it so that's all that matters! :D
It's an absolute crime that I've only drawn Storm Cypher Makoto once so have more content!!!
Uncensored version + writing updates/ramblings under the cut! <3
In terms of planning ahead though, I actually had a jimmy neutron brain blast and figured out a way to make Kurumi useful! So I'm double hype to get to the chapter 2 case so she can... y'know- be important for once! Yay! :D
He's so pretty and evil and I love him!!! <3<3<3 I'm so impatient with my writing- I just wanna skip to his introduction but alas, I won't be getting to that point for quite a while yet-
I want this fic to be as good as I can possibly make it so writing it's a slower then usual process but I'm aiming to hit a point where I'm comfortable starting to post it around January time so... hopefully sillyposting will suffice in the meantime!
Also I've been thinking about writing the characters' gumshoe gabs to post in the meantime while I work on the main fic- just short, more dialogue heavy chapters with silly shit to help keep me on track and get more practice writing the other NDA members, yk? The brain worn that spits out all my funny ideas is telling me that I could write such gay little things in Yuma's >:3
We got some ocs, some raincode, some hundredline, some doctor who- I never actually properly posted May and November's pieces for their own separate reasons and I didn't even finish October's yet but I'll get round to it eventually-
March's definitely helped me level up my shading game and after all the raincode birthday chibis and hundredline shitposts, I'm pretty confident in those styles now too!
This year has been so amazing for me, especially in recent months with me re-starting my animation education at university. It's just so motivating to be around other students who all wanna help and encourage each other!
My new year's resolution is definitely to post things when I actually finish them. I've got waaay to much art and writing waiting around to see the light of day because the mythological "tomorrow" in which I intend to post them never comes around lol-
Very very happy that Atsushi has learnt more about the extent of Aku's abuse/trauma. He'll never be able to see Dazai the same way again and that just feels so satisfying
I really hope that we get a Atsushi and Akutagawa hug once they're reunited - they've come so far and have reached all these new understandings and Aku is trying to wrap his head around the idea that he might actually care about Atsushi etc etc etc- like come on, they've earnt it!!!
