Shime jime
was recommended a beautiful manga by the name of Shimeji Simulation I enjoyed it a lot, you should read it too here's some pieces i've made in the time since reading it
i drew shimeji
Shijima Mei’s hair colour and lost time-an analysis/yap
okay so like we all know that the living Shijima Mei and the Wonder Shijima Mei have slightly different hair colours (I’m gonna refer to them as LMei and 4Mei respectively)
(Why does LMei have no fullbody sprite I’m clawing at my cage)
LMei has more orange-hued light brown/dark blonde hair, while 4Mei has lighter, very slightly shorter hair with a greener undertone.
It’s also important to note that while we do not know how long LMei was in hospital for before she died, we could very well assume it was a while, considering how used to it all she is, and how her own classmates didn’t know how she died (if the illness hospitalised her for like 2 weeks I think they’d remember)
4Mei is an idealised version of LMei, the artist with all the time in the world that she wants to be. Dark blonde hair just gets darker and more brown over time, and while not at a super great speed, I do think the idea that 4Meis hair represents the time LMei has lost in hospital to be plausible.
Similairly, when her hair is styled in plaits, it appears shorter, while LMeis hair is overgrown and not very freshly cut.
Idk I just always found their appearance differences very interesting. I too want my hair to be slightly lighter again Mei, me too.

For those of you who have read Gaara Hiden, you probably remember this character. For those who haven’t, Shijima is the older sister and bodyguard to the girl Hakuto, with whom the Suna Council had attempted to arranged a marriage for Gaara. The events of the story basically leads to Hakuto and her lover eloping. Gaara fakes their deaths so they can go into hiding in Konoha together under the Nara Clan’s jurisdiction (yes Shikamaru is the one who helps). Shijima, however, ends up staying with Gaara and working for him...so here is my exploration of her character and my interpretation of her design. TBH I’m not sure if I like where it is right now, so she might change, because there’s not very much for us to go on regarding her appearance lmao
I imagine several months following the events of the novel, Gaara checks in with Shikamaru about Hakuto and her lover, now husband, Shigezane.
And this about sums up their general dynamic. She finds endless amusement watching him grapple with fatherhood and definitely teases him a lot, but she’s once of the few people he really trusts to talk to and they’re just really good friends.
Everyone look at the little goober i have crawling around on my screen.
