This is my Kurama Taeyang Wip along with my Sailor Venus Pullip! This whole craziness started when I began writing a kuranako fic
⁄(⁄⑅ॢ⁄˃̶͈̀⁄௰⁄˂̶͈́⁄⑅ॢ⁄)⁄
I wanted a Kurama Taeyang to go with Sailor Venus, but the don’t make them ;-; So, I made my own! When I got to this part, my buddy @cursedronin had encouraged me to post this (2 months ago... I can’t help it when I get nervous!) so here I go!
So this is what I’ve got so far, I wasn’t happy with the wig I made, though it was my first attempt, so I’m working on another that I might post later on. And if you couldn’t tell from the first image, this is NOT a professional job XD Because I watch a lot of Dollightful on youtube (She’s so awesome! I was inspired to do all this after binging all her vids) I took pics of the materials I used when putting him together. https://www.youtube.com/c/Dollightful
I got the body from an Ebay listing sold by pullipstyle: Taeyang (boy Pullip) MIO Make It Own Kit for customization in US. They have a few different ones, but for Kurama I got the Taeyang one.
For the face here’s a list of materials:
Water Colored Pencils - Faber Castell
Pastels - Mungyo Hand-Rolled Soft Pastels
Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Sable Brush-Round #1, 1
Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor Sable Brush-Round #5, 5
Sealant - Mr. Super Clear UV Flat by Mr. Hobby (wear a mask and spray in a ventilated area!)
So I like to give props to my dolls (I’m trying to make the Crystal Sword for Sailor Venus, and already made her a chain, though it’s the Love and Beauty Shock one, which I like more) I decided to make Kurama’s Rose Whip to go with him! (Forewarning though, if you use florist tape, the green likes to come off onto the softer plastic of the dolls hand)
I just went on Amazon and found these for it.
KUUQA 4 Rolls 1/2" Wide Floral Tape
Mandala Crafts Anodized Aluminum Wire in 18 Gauge, Kelly Green
The wire wasn’t very thick, so I had to make three long braids and braid those together to get my end result.
This becomes his hair!
Again I just went on Amazon and found this:
Lion Brand Yarn in Cincinnati Red (Yarn MUST be 100% acrylic or styling it with a flat iron will melt it, any brand is fine) I made the wig based on Mozekyto’s guide for making yarn hair!

Now this one was funny! So a lot of people either print off or color a piece of cardboard and cut it to size for the chips in the eyes. But Sailor Venus has sparkly eyes and I wanted a similar luster to Kurama’s! So, I found this shimmery chip bag! (Yes, it’s goofy but it works!) Another thing that could’ve worked is stickers, shiny wrapping paper, or just nice sparkly paint.
So here is! All put together but no wig or clothes! (Thankfully he has that Ken doll bod or I’d get censored, for sure) His eyes are so sparkly! For his clothes, I looked around on Etsy and found these cute listings by HelloCoolCat
Taeyang Doll Simple Long Sleeves Tee - Color: J39. TC-4 Pink
Taeyang Doll Long Jeans Color: J23.TJ-2 Deep Blue (These actually have a cute little snap button in the front!)
Yay! Now he’s coming together! (Yes, that’s a coat hanger bent to hold him up, I don’t have an extra doll stand yet XD) But now with the wig on, he’s got some pretty soulless eyes... >_>
Thankfully with these tools, I was able to give him some eye shines and he becomes less scary! (Yes, that’s a straw with a bit cut out of it, and yes, that’s my Sailor Chibimoon mechanical pencil, it had the perfect size ball to make circles on his eyes XD As long as I wash off the acrylic paint, it’s fine)
I used Apple Barrel Gloss white acryllic paint for the eyeshines.
It’s not an exact match, of course, so I’m continuing to work on it and hopefully post better pics in the future! (And maybe actually get a background that isn’t my little cupboard door on a stool, lol)
I want to thank @alicezap and Usami-chan (MeilinLuo13) for making materials for this cute couple and inspiring me <3
Thing that just happened in my Sims game: so I got Minako pregnant by Kuwabara&before I moved her into his house I had Mako(who is lev 7 in gourmet cooking)make a tier cake&put in Minako inventory for when she moved to be a wedding cake for their wedding.&so once she moved in theres immediately a welcome wagon&Haruka, Usagi, Ami,&Hiei show up&after eating some of Shizuru's cookies Hiei goes to the fridge&eats the cake. I (& by extension Minako) were so pissed at him I had her yell at him
HIEI YOU LITTLE SHIT
he probably knew subconsciously that it would screw over Kuwabara’s wedding and that’s why he did it
more importantly though, did Minako have the kid yet I WANT TO SEE THEIR BABY……………
How did Yusukes' and Makoto's friends react when they told them they were dating?
I actually went into it (from the YuYuCrew’s end, anyway) over here!
but since I don’t think I actually ever talked about how the SM girls handle it--
Usagi is surprised at first, because Yusuke’s always seemed like a rude jerk to her, but after that passes, she gets really squealy and excited for Mako, because regardless of who it is, she’s just glad Mako found someone she’s happy with and will constantly grill her for romantic updates whenever possible
Ami is also surprised, but not in the way Usagi is?? I like to think out of all the senshi, Ami is the one Yusuke’s the least rude to (probably because Ami is Ami and you cannot be rude to a gentle, caring cinnamon roll like her), so she doesn’t think he’s a bad person, she just-- didn’t expect them to get together? But she’s also genuinely happy for Mako, because she’s the closest to her out of all of the senshi (save for Usagi), and it’s good to see that she’s with someone who appreciates both the strong side of her and the gentle, lady-like side as well
Rei straight up judges Mako SUPER HARD for it (because, gurl, I thought you had SOME form of taste), but she’s not about to dictate her friend’s love life for her, even if she really, REALLY could have picked a less punchable guy
Minako screeches for a minute, yells at Mako for getting a guy before she did (BECAUSE ?? WTF THIS ISN’T FAIR), and then glomps onto her and congratulates her because hey, GETTING OUT OF THE SINGLE LADIES CLUB IS SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE
(also she keeps an eye on the two of them along with Usagi and Botan and just... gets super excited whenever they do something romantic because GIT IT MAKO)
... Mamoru I think would have his misgivings, but he knows Mako can handle herself just fine, so if Yusuke ever did something wrong she could put him in line if she had to
yusuke and makoto....... celebrating the holidays together!!
AAAAA CUTE ;n;
Mako’s probably super gung-ho about it, because she loves all the cute things that pop up around Christmas (all the cute cookies!! the decorations!! the lovely smells and spices!!) and also her birthday is in December too, so the season’s always super special to her
meanwhile, Yusuke’s just like \o___o/ over it because it always seemed like a lover’s holiday to him and he never paid much attention to it until... now since he has a girlfriend AHAHA ;-; So he usually gets dragged along shopping for cute Christmas themed items, having to haul her bags while she gushes over the reindeer pillows and the pine scented candles even though she’s STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THIS HERSELF like gdit Mako why (though he does give his best delinquent glare at anyone giving them weird looks over why such a tall, intimidating lady is cooing over pretty ornaments)
Mako’s place is super duper decorated with all the sweet holiday baubles and even a nicely sized tree among all of the plants (and Yusuke’s like ?? how did you even get that up here and she’s like ‘I carried it? duh’ and Yusuke’s heart just doki dokis over his cool strong gf) and she’s practically living in the kitchen once the holidays creep closer, making all of the gingerbread men and fancy cookies and roast chicken for everyone
and Yusuke REALLY WANTS to get her a good gift (because the girl went and KNIT HIM A SCARF like goddamn woman when did you ever SLEEP), and attempts to make her a cake for Christmas and.................it fails. It fails so bad 8′’’| But Mako’s endeared by it, as awful as it is, and thinks it’s great even though Yusuke insists on maybe taking her out to a special dinner or something would be a better substitute
also Mako would REALLY want to host a holiday party and invites all of their friends
but then soon regrets it when Rei and Hiei nearly set the Christmas tree on fire
I dunno if you guys noticed,but I've gotten back into Yu Yu Hakusho. It was a childhood favorite of mine. My friend Amie loves it to death,and she reawakened my love for it. And yes,Yu Yu Hakusho/Sailor Moon is made of epic win.
The girls reacting to Puu and the boys reacting to the cats!
E X C E L L E N T
I think the general consensus between the Senshi in regards to Puu is that he’s really, really cute?? Maybe a bit more intimidating in his larger form, but they all think he’s squishy and adorable and sweet ;v; Usagi has a nice, long laugh over it being part of Yusuke (because WE DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE SO CUTE YUU-CHAN), but loves to poke him and watch him nap, Ami has more of a subdued reaction to Puu (she’s more curious about the science behind him sharing a soul with Yusuke), though she occasionally perches him in her lap and pets his fluffy little head
REI WILL NEVER EVER ADMIT PUU IS CUTE EVER (though admittedly the spirit connection interests her, and she doesn’t mind big!Puu roosting at the shrine as long as he doesn’t make a mess)
Mako is just as amused as Usagi was about Puu’s connection to her favorite dumbass, though she wasn’t nearly as... vocal about it (though she does use it as ammo when Yusuke is being particularly high-strung, all BOY, YOU SURE TALK BIG FOR A GUY WHO HAS A SQUISHY BABY BIRD SOUL and Yusuke’s like FFFFFF SHUT UP D8<), and she likes to tote him around for little trips and give him special scraps of food and little kisses and she’s definitely Puu’s favorite (to NO ONE’S SURPRISE) (she also does this when he’s all big too, except she can’t really carry him around, so Puu hoists her on his back instead)
Minako joined Usagi in the LET’S MERCILESSLY MAKE FUN OF YUSUKE FOR HIS ADORABLE SPIRIT BEAST reaction, and she likes to kidnap him sometimes and take ~cool kid selfies~ with him (when Artemis is kidnapped by Kuwa--I mean wat) and dress him up, and Puu gets so distressed whenever she’s around because OH GOD WHAT IS THAT RIBBON LADY GOING TO DO TO ME NEXT
AS FOR THE YUYUBOYS AND THE CATS-- I think there’s largely mixed feelings between them? Yusuke and Luna are like oil and water, since she’s constantly reprimanding him for doing dumb shit and giving him orders and he’s just like FUCK OFF YOU’RE NOT MY BOSS BUTT-LICKER (and Luna is just SO SCANDALIZED like ???? HOW DID ANYONE LEAVE THE GOOD OF HUMANITY IN YOUR HANDS, YOU ARE A BEAST)-- granted, I think during serious situations, they’d be able to come to a truce for the greater good, but THE DISTASTE IS REAL 8|; Artemis, on the other hand, gets along with him surprisingly well, and they occasionally just chill and nap places, and hope Luna doesn’t find them
KUWABARA’S REACTION TO THEM IS BASICALLY THIS
but yeah, HE REALLY LOVES THOSE FUCKING CATS
Luna is skeptical of him at first (because UGH he’s probably as bad as that Urameshi brute), but he is just so enthused to take advice and orders from a talking cat and is constantly offering to carry her and pet her and call her pretty, and the vain part of Luna is just like .....HM, YES CONTINUE PLEASE ‘w’ Artemis, on the other hand, is highly suspicious of his relationship with Minako and is in sort of a PROTECTIVE CAT DAD mode around him, so he acts hugely indifferent and grouchy and hates being picked up
also Diana and Kuwabara is the most perfect and pure brotp and I have outlined it more thoroughly on my YuYuMoon tag but I cannot link things right now for whatever reason
Kurama is the only one Luna gets along with right off the bat, and they like to collaborate on strategies and intel and basic battle planning stuff (and Luna does think he’s quite the fox, me-YOW), while Artemis... is sort of mixed, since while Kurama is largely reliable and a good role model for the rest of the girls..........he’s also suspicious of him and Minako so he’s sorta like /FRY SQUINTS at him most of the time
Hiei does not give a shit about them and finds them largely unneeded, but Luna gets on his last nerve (and visa versa) (Diana only gets slightly less apathy since Yukina seems to adore her very much)
.........I also think I’ve outlined Koenma and Luna being the Shit Talk Squad a little while back, but he and Artemis would also get along swimmingly for whenever Koenma wants to flip the bird to his duties and goof off and try to guess what sort of secrets Tuxedo Mask hides under his cape
The crew head over there as some sort of ‘getting to know one another’ activity, suggested by Botan and Minako (because it’s hard to work as a huge team if you hardly know your other teammates and HECK YEAH AMUSEMENT PARKS), and while Yusuke gripes about it at first (’aren’t these things for kids and tourists? PASS’), once they arrive, he soon gets VERY INTO IT
like I NEED TO RIDE ALL OF THESE ROLLERCOASTERS ASAP into it, because he’s a damn adrenaline junkie and this stuff is his crack
Minako is more than happy to join him on his rollercoaster conquering spree, since the girl has balls of steel and NO RIDE IS TOO FEARSOME FOR MINAKO-SAMA, and she almost gets Usagi to join them, until Usagi is like three people away from getting on the ride and the reality hits her and she’s just BOLTS out of there all NOPE NOPE NOPE YOU TWO ENJOY YOUR DEATH MACHINE, I’M EATING ICE CREAM D8
Kuwabara manages one or two rides with the duo (mostly due to Minako giving him the puppydog eyes and Yusuke being all ARE YOU A MAN OR WHAT), but after that, he joins Usagi in the ‘fuck pride, I like solid ground’ club and sits with her and Luna and enjoys some funnel cake with them
Mako would PROBABLY do a few rides with Yusuke and Minako if they were a little more chill about it, but their energy is so much that she hangs out towards the side and waits for them to finish, and then joins them on some of the more low-key rides, like the water boat or the bumper cars (she does get goaded into going on some of the high-drop rides, and as much as she tries not to scream, she lets out a high pitched shriek when they fall and Yusuke makes fun of her for ten minutes afterwards until she punches him)
Ami doesn’t bother with any of the rides (save for maybe the water one and the carousel), but she does enjoy telling the others about the physics involves in the rollercoasters and how the forces at work keep them in, but Kurama’s probably the only one paying attention to it sob (they also both read their summer books on the benches waiting for the others to finish since they’re huge nerds)
Rei makes a big deal about being too mature for children’s rides and how she’s just here because her weekend was empt (and Hiei showed up for maybe five seconds before going THIS IS FOR FOOLS, GOODBYE) but Rei secretly sneaks a ride on the teacups and the carousel and enjoys herself
and then she spots Hiei awkwardly perched on the horse three spots back from her (placed there by a joint effort of Yusuke and Kurama, no doubt), and suddenly she just hates everything
Once Minako and Yusuke get their coaster-boners out of their systems, they split off to hang with other people--Minako beelines towards Kuwabara and Usagi to drag them to the arcade, and Yusuke finds Mako so they can walk around the booths and chill and go on less crazy rides (like the haunted house, to which Mako is like ahahah yeah these aren’t real--WHAT THE FUCK AAAAAGH)
eventually, Yusuke and Makoto wind up going on the Ferris Wheel and Minako spots them and she’s like BOTAN, USAGI, WE NEED TO SPY ON THIS ASAP and nab the car below theirs
..........little do they know they got the moving booth, so whatever romantic moment Yusuke and Mako were going to have above them got nuked by the meddler trio SHRIEKING and screaming and crying below them and Yusuke’s just yells down at them SERVES YOU GUYS RIGHT
Yusuke leaning up on his tippytoes to give Mako a kiss
Yusuke then pulling Mako down after his toes cramp from leaning up so high (but still not trying to break the kiss)
Mako enjoying being able to take advantage of her height to swoop down and snatch little kisses from Yusuke’s lips or plant one on his forehead or give him a sweet smooch on his cheek
Mako just happening to wear colored gloss one of those days so Yusuke happens to have a huge, shiny pink kiss mark on his brow (and he doesn’t even notice it until much later and Kuwabara’s already been laughing at him over it)
Yusuke crashing at Mako’s for a night because there’s a huge storm outdoors and they’re both already soaked to the bone, so Mako lends him a pair of her pajama pants and a tank top while their clothes dry (which fit surprisingly well on him, though he gripes about them being so flowery) (he does find the rose scent on them to be really comforting though)
Mako making late-night snacks for the two of them, since she always enjoys having people stay over due to the apartment getting so lonely and cramped on her own (and then Yusuke tries to edge into the kitchen to either help or steal some food, and Mako chases him out with a spatula)
The two of them cozied up near the foot of the couch, watching some ridiculous midnight drama, munching on snacks and sipping on chamomile tea (Mako says it helps with sleeping, and while Yusuke’s not a big tea person, it’s warm and relaxing so he’s not about to complain)
Kuwabara texting Yusuke all WHERE ARE YOU IT’S BAD OUT THERE and he only texts back AT MAKO’S, not realizing that would cause a storm of it’s own
Yusuke’s legs on Mako’s and his head winds up on her shoulder, and Mako playfully pokes it away and they wind up tossing bits of things at one another and fake-wrestling until they tire themselves out
Yusuke’s head finally staying on Mako’s shoulder and Mako assumes he’s awake until the weird mumbling commentary she hears from him aren’t related to the show they’re watching and it’s him fast asleep against her
Mako remembering Usagi gushing about Mamoru looking like a sweet little boy when he’s napping, and being very inclined to add Yusuke on that list now herself
Mako depositing him onto her couch for the night and early in the morning dashing out to grab some breakfast things to whip up for him when he wakes up
Yusuke waking up to EXTREMELY LOUD BANGING on the door and opens it up to see Minako, Usagi, and Botan waiting outside looking fit to scream
Minako, Usagi and Botan doing just that when they see Yusuke in Mako’s PJs all OH MY GOD THEY ACTUALLY DID IT, HOLY SHIT, CONGRATS
Mako returning at just that moment and being ambushed by the girls all GOOD GOING GURL YOU GOT THAT URABOOTY and Mako’s like ‘what’ and Yusuke’s like ‘WHAT’
Yusuke finding Kuwabara later on in the day and COMPLETELY DESTROYING HIM because what the fuck WHAT DID YOU TELL THOSE THREE, WHY DID YOU EVEN TELL THEM I WAS THERE
