#A lot faster than I expected

[confuzzled-sheep]

Finally done framing my prints from @naruysae !!

This was my first time mounting and framing, and I definitely learned a lot. I'm VERY happy with how Burning Dove came out. I'm excited to continue mounting and framing the fanart prints I purchase in the future!! (Now to find a wall to hang these ...)

Can you draw one of your ocs meeting rottmnt? Its ok if not

Btw hru doing?

I am doing fabulous, thank you for asking!

Drawing one of my OCs? Interacting with the Rise cast? Ohohoho, dear Anon, you have made me VERY happy!

Technically, they've lived on earth for most of their lives, but, hey, these weird turtle guys are just trying to be nice, no need to get all "erm actually" on them.

These are some characters from a story I haven't shared much about (Not that I've shared much about ANY of my OCs). The two dragons are Louis (the smaller, spikier one) and Nikola (the taller, nervous one). They come from a story I call Dragon Boys.

There's actually six dragons in total. Yes, they're a family of vigilante dragon brothers, no connection to or inspiration from any franchise having to do with mutant teenage turtle ninjas, nope, nuh-uh (...they're TOTALLY inspired by RotTMNT XD) And not to steal the turtle naming convention as well (even though that's EXACTLY what I did), they're named after inventors, instead of artists.

Where Leo's tactlessness is covered by his humor ("Sooo? You guys from Jersey?"), I imagine Donnie's bluntness and Mikey's distractedness make for interesting meetings lol. But Lou and Niko are just happy to meet others who won't judge them or kidnap them and experiment on them :)

Thanks again for the ask!

Had my first book DNF of the year

[adelle-ein]

i'm not surprised at all by this honestly, but the newest version of cotc hides most of the assets (npcs, bosses, everything but some ui stuff really) in the same way the playable character folder has been hidden for the last few months. i'm sure people who know how to really datamine can get in there, but not me. still have access to all the old stuff but nothing new indefinitely. i guess they've really just restructured it and/or decided to make it more secure :( i'll update if anything of note happens, but i don't expect it to. hopefully someone with more android skills/tools than me will pick up the sprite ripping project someday.

anyway on a lighter note. i haven't played much jp cotc since global came back but i did pop in for free dq collab unit and ended up with partitio, aka the only one of the three i liked at all.......luck is always best when you don't care that much haha

also they changed sail's name back to sail instead of saul so that's nice. bc i think of him as sail. it suits him. because it rhymes with fail. from some screenshots on the subreddit it looks like this chapter's a little better translated than previous ones, so that's something even if it's still not very good (i haven't played it myself yet)

Chapter 2: When I Met X Bratty little KUMA finds a place to love and cherish

How a pro-wrestling boy became fascinated with the rock scene

I was a boy who loved martial arts and pro-wrestling.

The family environment I was raised in set me up for it.

My father, who was also a composer, promoted various acts in our home region of Kumamoto. Because of that, it often happened that singers and other talents came to our house to greet us.

Among those, it was the pro-wrestlers who came for those shows that I came to follow around… I went to play with them and they adored me. As far as I can remember, I spend a lot of my childhood among adults.

But when I was in forth grade of elementary school, my parents got divorced.

It felt just like a manga, or a tv show. My mother and I moved out of the large house we had lived in until then and started living together in a run-down apartment. Then we moved to a multi-unit apartment complex, but by then, the older boy next door who loved western music had already let me listen to western rock from the era of Van Halen.

This oniichan [“older brother”, used also to address unrelated older boys/young men] influenced me in a number of ways.

I had loved music ever since I was little, but had listened exclusively to Japanese pop music. And now this oniichan let me listen to plenty of western rock. The only Japanese rock band this western-music-loving oniichan liked was BOØWY. As he let me listen to a number of songs, I, too, came to like BOØWY more and more… From there on, I came to think, “There ought to be a lot of other cool bands who wear make-up and put their heir up like BOØWY.”

And like that, I started to have an interest in the Japanese indies rock scene.

The meeting with X that changed my fate

The first time I learned about X was through a variety show I watched on tv during my second year of middle school.

With HIDE-san, who had joined in February 1987, YOSHIKI-san, TOSHI-san, PATA-san, and TAIJI-san, X consisted of five people… At that time, they were already giving one-man lives at places like Meguro Rokumeikan. After that, they made their first full album, “VANISHING VISION” (released 14 April 1988), but I came across them just when they were in the process of recording that album…

Already, they moved all of my heart.

Completely charmed, I started following X wherever they went. My mother, whom I was living with, understood and didn’t say anything about me acting this way.

Living with my mother, we frankly did not have enough money. I was lonely at this time, while my mother was gone to work from morning until evening. But no matter what happened, my mother always understood me.

She understood when I went to hang out at the places of the pro-wrestlers I had come to be friends with as a child, and when it was time to take the entrance exam for high school, she respected my reasons for only taking the exam for this one school I was set on without a backup plan, even though we were told by my middle school teachers that I definitely wouldn’t be accepted into that one.

To me, my mother was my greatest supporter and the person who understood me the best.

She had that understanding, even if she didn’t have any money.

Thus, with my mother’s understanding, I was getting more and more addicted to X.
