Anyway I think more video game quests should make you uncomfortable and guilty and mislead you and corner you between a rock and a hard place and offer hollow victories. There's nothing more annoying than quest writing that scrambles to assure you that you're niceys and good and nothing you put your hand on can ever have negative consequences. "You cannot save everyone" and I cheer and whoop etc.

Wanting to try out different hairstyles and saw a guide for how to do a braid, and naturally since traveler senku is my guinea pig, we get "what if he didn't go insane and instead grew out his hair"

[mr-humphries]

we ride together, we dangle together

[whatsinahyperfix]

This being Traveler when he's still pretending to be a normal sane person - his idea for a moon base definitely isn't secretly for a mad time travel plan, what are you talking about.

Changed the hair a little because I figured it was still to put together for him, since even when trying to appear normal there'd still be some of the instability poking through.

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

The adhd feature of working on one thing only for your brain to go 'hey this is fun and all, but what if we worked on this idea instead?' and before I know it I found myself recreating digitally the first floor map of a castle in my oc's verse that I did on paper originally some years ago. Was still fun though how to do it on one canvas vs multiple pages.

The og version that's still on my wall for reference -

"He smiled so sadly, I just had to kiss him again... slowly, as if moving in slow motion. I hope this scene, with the lunchtime clangor in the distance... and the rays of light streaming in, stays with you forever... So that even after I'm gone... you won't forget about me"

*hands you usen and disappears again*

anyways, happy late valentines to you guys from your favourite aroace that experiences relationships vicariously through characters GHJFDSGHJK

also Twilight out of Focus reference because it's my goated reference for healthy communication and relationships and also anatomy (Specifically "Twilight out of Focus Afterimages in Slowmotion")

additional yap cause i ran out of tags:

-speaking of hella research for nothing in particular why is ukyo 30 times more menacing in the manga compared to the anime GHKFDGSJHK -(when he's first introduced anyway - post america arc he's been reduced to pure joy and silliness [and we love him for that he's been through a lot]) -your honour they're married -Illegally of course cause what the fuck is japan doing with same sex marriage - I should write this - I've always loved writing short slice of life of characters I love cause I personally don't feel like i have direction in life -so living through a character is basically what I've become gfhdjskghjk - not an issue for me - more reason to cosplay -speaking of cosplay I might try Simon from Iron Lung... - back to the silly senkyo au.... - government servant yaoi *sighs* - When Ukyo returns from service and visits where Senku is teaching he always makes sure to wait until Senku has free time - Because he doesn't wanna embarrass Senku in front of his class - Senku embarrasses Ukyo though - whenever Senku meets him pretty much right outside it's all hugs - and then when Ukyo goes back he never hears the end of it - They never really show PDA just for the fact same-sex marriage and the like still isn't fully legalised (and pretty fetishized) so they both kinda fear reactions - The only people they'd be silly around is people they know - Byakuya in particular is fine with it because it means he gets an excuse to show off his romanticism skills (by pulling an whole woman /j) - Byakuya also noticed when Senku had discreetly started dating Ukyo - just because of how much senku started talking about him just as much as he talked about his studies (i.e. a lot) - When they have time alone though is when they're the most snuggly.... - pure Usen mush.... - they sometimes don't even talk about their day, just the silence is enough to make them happy - And then when work kicks up again, the next few weeks are pure yearning as they have to leave eachother's presence for an extended period of time... -man, I am so bitchless. -wouldn't have it any other way teehee

Sew up your skull, take your time, We will be just fine.

Uhhhh saw this and my brain just kinda went haywire, so this bit below wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it tw for overdosing/suicide (also full disclosure I have not played the game or watched the movie so apologies for vague details ajdkfk)

Some promises were destined to be broken; a lie told in a desperate time of need that could only be falsely believed in for so long.

The ring was only supposed to break if the promise it was made upon itself were to fall apart. Or...at least that's how Senku's old man told it, not that he had the least bit of scientific evidence to back it up. Ukyo had seemed to believe it, or at least had convinced himself of it in a desperate attempt to keep himself going in the object horror their lives had become as he handed Senku one of the two promise rings he had made before they were to be forcibly separated once again.

He didn't want to find out whether the tale was true or not by waiting for the day to come when his ring shattered. For the day to come where he'd find out they were lying about Ukyo still being alive.

He needed out. Needed to be gone from this place of misery of horror. For the pain to finally end.

It had taken a while for Senku to gather enough chemicals to properly do himself in, for the perfect time to come to take his concoction without someone noticing and ripping him from the rest he so desperately craved. He sat on the floor, choking on the mixture, using the only scrap of will he had left to get it past his gag reflex and swallow it fully. The reaction hardly took any time at all, leaving him laying on the floor, drowning from the inside. Eyes unfocused, head splitting, he could see Ukyo laying there with him, that same tired, yet weakly hopeful look of promising they'd both live. That somehow, someway, they'd get through it together even though apart.

Don't...don't look at me like that. I'm sorry...but I can't anymore. There's no hope...of ever getting out of here...maybe...maybe in another...life we could...could be...

Senku's eyes slid shut; drawing his last breath as the hand clutching the ring hanging around his neck finally let go.

A broken promise and a shattered ring; the remaining heart left with naught but the jagged pieces of what could have been.

Been in a bit of a creative slump recently and my sister sends me this screenshot and it's honestly the most encouraging thing I've seen.

[whatsinahyperfix]

Cleaning out my camera roll and found this picture of my mom's cat that sums up how things are going quite well.

When I tell you our team fumbled a dragon design so bad for our course to the point im designing my OWN dragons guys - im still tweaking

anyway dragons FHDJSGHJK

I am doing more for the sake of redeeming myself in my course work, but this is all i got so far - when I get around to doing all the ones i wanted, I'll update this post with a pixiv link so you can see all of them together and at a higher quality HFJKDSGHJK

heres a couple fuckass doodles i did for them too HJFKDSGHJK

I think it's best i probably best i explain design choices here

I play a lot of dragon adventures (kill me) and they have hella interesting dragon designs based on... anything, really. so thats what i've gone for with these

Senku is based on a japanese dragon - only particular reason is those are my favourite types GFJDKSHJK i suppose you could also see it as those dragons being gods of certain things, and the way Senku is basically carrying the kingdom of science bro he may as well be classed as one too /j

Ukyo is ofc a whale, very smooth, very aerodynamic - he cant fly but by god can he swim - Why a whale you ask? dare I point you to biosonar/echolocation GFJHDSGHJK

Gen is based on a kitsune, but as a dragon. innovative, I know. but since kitsune are often trickster spirits, I can see that man choosing to be a dragon to throw people off for the love of the game. also the front paws? constantly like that, initially did it to show how Gen always holds his hands together under his yukata, but it can also look like a fox about to pounce so i'll go with that too GHFJDSGJHK

right thats about it, see ya

Mecha Senku....
