Here I am with the finished page, a scene from one of my favorite bits from my fanfic. It's after the raptor paddock moment, first night of camp and first troubles.
Makes sure to check the version from my friend! @valsm
On to reading if you want under read more
Tw: Darius has some probably undiagnosed depression after is fathers death. Part of what he says/thinks is taken from the novelization and my interpretation of it from where he says that seeing the dinosaurs wasn't enough but wanted to be with the dinosaurs. After the incident the wanting to be with could take a bit of a dark turn.

Raven had made it halfway to camp through the jungle when the jeep lights illuminated him from behind.
A very furious Roxie leaped out like a lioness on a buffalo, scarier than the pack of Velociraptors. Raven really felt like his end was near.
“Wait, you?” Said Roxie, apparently confused. “Brooklynn said that there was someone else, but I didn't let her finish, I thought… Doesn’t matter. You are in trouble. Get in the jeep now!”
Realizing that there was no use in resisting, he squished in the backseat of the jeep with the other boys and Brooklynn, glaring at her and ushering in a whisper, “You just had to spill, didn’t you?”
“Ehi at least I didn’t say your name, but it wouldn't have been fair if you made it out now uh.”
“Guys, guys please.” Said Kenji, finding himself in the middle.
Darius looked distant, and angry, clearly something serious was going to happen to them.
More than all of that though, Darius was disappointed. Clutching his necklace in his hands. After everything. After all the time spent on trying to get to Jurassic World, his first night could very well be the last one. A small part of him now wished the Raptors had gotten them, this way at least he wouldn't have to face his failure, and in some way would have stayed in the park. He raised his knees to his chest, burying his face there. I’m sorry dad. I’ve disappointed you. He felt an arm around him and just sunk into the half-hug. It was all his fault they were all in trouble. The ride was silent, occasionally thickened by the glares shot from Raven to Brooklynn and vice versa. Kenji got himself comfortable, bringing back his uncaring mask.
Here are the first 2 pages, for a challenge my friend @gingericywolf gave me!
He made an entire page with all the story he made, I loved it! <3
I put just the first part, with Raven and Roxxane, characters that I loved to shape slightly, still trying to stay in Wolf's idea.
I like to think that Raven does not speak, but communicates with thoughts, a bit like the sims hahaha.
I'll try to finish the last 2 pages when I'm done with my comics.
on the last call of 2022 had fun with friends drawing all together. It's a big mish mash of things, took a while to get used to the program. Thanks @valsm for drawing with me, as I've already said millions of times I love how you do art, and @lamponellatempesta for being there with your support and comments
Heyo people! I know it’s been 5 months since the first letter of this small project that was written to the Yuriy of the past.
I leave here the link at the first of the letters in case you want to read it again or refresh your memory.
This is the second of three letters I had in mind and it is written to both the Yuriy of the present and the past. It very much takes a AU that was made by me and a friend of mine so many of the events may not coincide with the headcanon or the general ideas about Yuriy, but I hope you like it anyway!
Present Yuriy
5th of July 2022
I guess I haven’t exactly been a diligent patient given the five months between this letter and the first one, to the Yuriy kid, who I apologize for keeping him waiting all this time. It’s finally time for you to hear what your sacrifices have brought.
I'm writing this letter... Well or at least I try, always with Kai to assist me at my side, to prevent my dyslexia does bad jokes eheh, but let’s get back to us; I’m working on this letter in the garden of my house, in the shade of a gazebo, while I watch my son play with his cousins by the pool, he’s so sweet and he’s growing up so fast, he’s already over two years old you know, little Yuriy, and I’m giving him the childhood that you couldn’t have... or at least I’m trying, being a father when you haven’t had one for a long time isn’t easy, sometimes I think I’ll never be the perfect father, but I’m doing my best to never become like my father was before I decided to escape from home.
Oh yeah, my son, right, his name is Nathan. I’m really in love with that little guy, you know, he looks like you and Mom, who unfortunately didn't have time to meet him... Yes, because I granted your desire to find her, but life played a trick on us and took her away too soon and now she’s one of the brightest stars in the firmament... I miss her very much, but I know she’s watching over us, especially on Nathan.
That little wolf, It would be obvious to say that it’s one of the best things that has happened to me in my life; when I picked him up for the first time I can’t even explain well how I felt... It was a feeling of full happiness, as I had never experienced it, a happiness still different from the normal one, that I continue to feel every day when he runs towards me and calls me dad, when he hugs me and even when he does the tantrums, or he looks at me with his big green eyes and his toothless smile to show me a toy, as in this moment while I am writing; It reminds me when you looked at mom, little Yuriy.
He likes to dance, you know? Every time I put on my toes and I have to dance, he wants to do it too, his mother and I were forced to take him already the first ballet shoes, because he wants to be like me eheh... and I admit that seeing him jumping on the stage near me, fills me with pure joy, I’m his great hero, he wants to have my own haircut too, you know? I can’t cut my hair without his permission, otherwise he’s pouting on me all day, like he did when we didn’t get him a ball from the hotel machine in America, but he’s lovely even with his little pout.
I think you’re wondering, me of the past, if there’s anyone I’m sharing the effort and joy of raising that little pest. Well yes, there is one person, and I’m very much in love with them, just to tell you eheh.
I always thought that I would dedicate my life totally to work and career, and that I would not have any relationship for the rest of my life. Instead, life decided to surprise me and change my plans, turning them upside down (I’m Kai, a small insert to say that the fate that made them meet is me, just a clarification).
This person is with Nathan the person I love most in the world; I really think it was love at first sight, from the first moment I saw them in that video of a simple battle of beyblade, something inside me had turned on, but I hadn’t realized it yet, I was a bit idiot and not really used to love; I realized it only that night in that snowy forest, when those hypnotic green eyes are lost in mine (still think they are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen).
There I started to realize that I had ended up in something bigger than myself, that I couldn’t control, and for me that I have to have everything under control was complicated, but I had a feeling that what I felt was corresponded, so I followed my instincts and I let that feeling flow, that emotion, that at the time I didn’t even know how to decipher... I also took a punch in the face for my choice, but I never regretted it.
We’ve been through a lot since February 2019... moments of darkness, of silence, anger, pain and fear of getting lost for the misunderstandings of our characters, so similar, so proud and stubborn, also because life is not quiet on principle; even in the blackest period I never thought to abandon them and blow it all up, because with their bright green eyes that shine every time they see me or our son, his long shaggy hair that move in the wind and have a home scent, their rare smile that when it appears, illuminates even the darkest nights; its unavoidable presence which without the room would be a little more empty, the taste of his kisses (tastes of chocolate eheh) his clear skin full of scars, like mine, to be filled with kisses and gentle caresses... I don’t know where to put a dot, so I put it here, even if I’m not done.
I could go on and on just to say that even when they fall asleep or play with our son, and I see the happiness and peace in their face, I feel like I did the right thing to follow that instinct of mine, to believe they were the right person for me, with which to create something and be able to live in a brighter future than I had always imagined. That person... that from here on I will start to call Wolf, they made me want to believe in dreams, in love...and that something beautiful maybe there was waiting for me if I had opened my eyes, if I had totally let myself be carried away, if I had started to live, to take what life owed me... And I did, and I’m still doing it, little Yuriy, even for you, because you deserved it. You know, Wolf and I also got married eheh, this September will be our second anniversary, time flies really fast...already two years... two really wonderful years, where I feel fulfilled and lucky to have them by my side, even if I don’t tell them very often, even though I’m a touchy chronic, stubborn and proud, and I should do it more often, but I could never really go on without knowing that I have him by my side, even when I’m not the best of husbands or people, and they would really do well to tell me to go to hell, but if they sent me, I’d find a way to emerge from hell to get back to them, because it’s true, I’m not the best in the world for expression of feelings and their management, but I love them, and I would also like to apologize more often for my stubborn behavior.
Hell, little Yuriy, I’ve run out of you with my honeyed chatter, and Kai next to me is laughing, but he’s happy. He’s happy because he found peace with someone he cares very much, who is the same person I married, just to show you how important Wolf is to this big family.
Yeah, 'cause, you know, I really have a big family now, made up of a lot of people that I never thought I’d have a friendship with, like Rei Kon, for example, I have a lot of nephews who calls me uncle and I admit it’s weird, but it makes me feel happy, so that’s okay. I’m studying at a dance academy and I danced in two shows of them this year. The teachers told me that I was really good, and I won a scholarship to continue studying on a year abroad, and at 26yo it’s a really great achievement. I chose Ireland as the place to do it, although Wolf would have preferred Scotland but in the end they are happy anyway, and we hope that Nathan will have fun too and will enjoy this adventure. I’m a little scared but I’m ready, I’ll follow my instincts one more time and we’ll see what they make me live.
The Yuriy of the present is so pleased with his life, with what he has achieved, small and great achievements, that he has partially managed to make peace with himself and his demons, with whom he now goes arm in arm a little more often, even if every now and then they pull a few shots behind him and make him fall; he has wonderful friends to whom they have added new ones, gets out more, socializes more, social batteries allowing eheh, is also one of the most beloved daddies of Nath’s kindergarten, his Wolf is a little jealous, but this red wolf is totally in love with them and they have nothing to fear.
Dance is really bringing me great joys and satisfactions, it makes me feel free and carefree, like probably not even the beyblade has ever fully done; I say really thanks to the beyblade for all that he has given me; victories, defeats, friends, enemies, travels around the world, the chance to survive and above all, to have me meet the love of my life and the mother of my children, yes, because I do not want to stop at one. I thank the bey for the strong emotions he made me feel and for the marks he left on my skin, which contributed to being the man I am now, but it’s time to leave the stadium to my little heir, our little Nathan, if he wants to do it. In my present now there is dance, the lights of a stage or a venue, trying to convey emotions to people in another way, through myself.
Yuriy wasn’t good at talking and he’s not even good at 26 now, but dance has made up for this problem; he helped him come out as a demisexual, Let him share the scene with his buddies and let him tell his son and his Wolf how much he loves them.
Thank you beyblade, mom, thanks also to the bad experiences that life has put in front of me, thanks to old and new friends, thanks to my big family, to dance, to Nathan, to the person I love. Thank you all and everything for building and bringing the Yuriy of the present here. Because the Yuriy who's writing is still a pain in the ass, but I love him a little bit more.
Little Yuriy, see? It was really worth it all. From start to now.
I look at the me of the future from afar and I don’t know what to say to him, but I guess I’ll have time to think about it.
I love it all. And I find hilarious that Kai is supposed to correct the grammar but instead he just adds his own note to point out that it's all thanks to him and leaves all the rest kind of a mess
Probably the last of the random redraws for a while since I am on the last pages of my sketchbook. Have a fire chicken (affectionate). (It's ok suzaku gave me permission to call them that).
