I think it's funny how easily you can tell if a fanart of Corbeau was made before or after the game came out because the former always show him with Arbok instead of Scolipede, since that's the only of his pokémon that was revealed in the trailer.

On that note, I love that they made Scolipede his ace because it's been one of my faves since Gen V and deserves this time in the spotlight 💜

Ok my art style is now called 'Fantasy Crunch' because I was put on the spot and had to think of a name for it

It sounds like a cereal but I don't care

Thinking about that one post I saw on here (at least I'm pretty sure it was on here but I can't find it anymore) that basically summarized Tokyo Revengers as "the story of Hanagaki Takemichi, who travels back in time to save his ex girlfriend and the abusive boyfriend he picked up along the way"

Unfortunately that's a way too accurate way of referring to Mikey and I just can't get it out of my head, I keep thinking about it😅

I'd really like to see more stories where Mitsuya is just a little bit unhinged. I feel like he's often reduced to being the Reasonable Mom Friend (TM), which, you know, is somewhat understandable (there's not really anyone else for that role...), but I feel like people tend to forget that he's still a founder and leading member of a (all things considered still pretty dangerous even if they're "the good guys" compared to the other ones we see) biker gang, and that in several timelines he follows Mikey knowingly and willingly down his violent path to organized crime.

He's the calm, patient, polite, even nurturing guy who cares for his family and pretty much has got his life together, except that he's friends with some of the most volatile violent unhinged people around and that he himself is 100% ready to throw down if the situation demands it in his eyes. It's this duality that makes him such an interesting character to me, especially with his professed ideal of using violence only to protect. The way I interpret it, there simply isn't a line he wouldn't cross in the name of protecting those he cares about.

So all I'm saying is: Don't have him JUST be the mom friend. Let him be a little bit fucked up. 🙏

I was successfully influenced to go and watch Project Hail Mary.

I've been browsing the Surugaya (japanese secondhand store mostly for all kinds of fandom goods) website, which fyi you SHOULD NOT do if you're like me and easily drawn in by fun merch, augh my wallet, but anyway, I've been looking around the Blue Lock stuff that was only sold at the special exhibition. That's pretty much the only official merch you'll find of characters that are manga-only so far.

And the sheer amount that anything Kaiser-related costs more than any single other character merch?? I could have been convinced to buy a little pin badge with official art of that bastard's face, but not for over 40 euros, wtf! I could get one of Ness for around six euros though. They also have little collectible (I think blind box) figures of the characters and they are adorable. Most of them will run you around 11-15 euros secondhand, some more popular characters like Isagi or Nagi go up to around 30 euros. And Kaiser? Can be yours for 12,282 yen. Which is. Over 75 euros!!

And. Honestly I'm not even that surprised, but it still sure is something to see. It's actually kind of hilarious. Side note, last summer I went to a con with a friend and we saw three Blue Lock cosplayers. All of them were cosplaying Kaiser.

I wonder what that all will evolve into once the guy actually makes his anime appearance.

My laptop keyboard has this annoying quirk of occasionally doubling an input, i.e. typing two letters when I only wanted one.

Long story short, I just typed 'population' and what appeared on screen was 'poopulation'.

Since I was asked, here is some very important supplementary material for A Tale of the Mundane and the Divine.

On the left, we have a silly little diagram of the illustrious Toman polycule, as I've titled it (I regret the face doodles a little). I did not include Takemichi in this diagram because that would have made it way too complicated AND the entire fic is about Takemichi's relationships with these silly people, so you don't need a diagram for that (I hope)

On the right, a quick and very rough sketch of the shrine complex layout as I've pictured it in my head. I might make a more accurate one if I have the headspace for it ^^"
