#dcmkemogust2021

[arsquare]

@dcmkemogust20xx​ DCMK Emogust Week One! I took inspiration from the dialogue prompts on day 2: “Please marry me” as well as “You can’t stay here.”

Inspiration and thoughts under cut!

So I’ve seen Detective Conan on tv every now and then since I was a child, and every couple of years I just suddenly remember it’s a thing again, and then I reread it from the top. However, this year is the first time that I really went and interacted with the fandom, and there’s just so many talented people doing all kinds of stuff that I got inspired to make my own fan comics and fan art!

So first and foremost, shoutout to @hexfloog for all of their stuff on Shinichi/Conan angst, particularly this redraw of a scene from the Desperate Revival arc. I was already really interested in this idea since so little of it has been explored in canon, but seeing it really made me lose my mind!!

Secondary shoutout to @castellab​ and their Detective Conan edit found here! When I saw this the first time, I thought it was pretty neat. Then the third image glitched out for a split second and I started questioning my entire reality. I was incredibly confused and thought it was a non-looping gif, before slapping some sense into myself. “Nobody would be insane enough to put a non-looping gif in their edit,” I thought to myself, staring at the image, and sure enough, it was a looping gif. Then I realized that I could be the insane motherfucker who used a non-looping gif in my stuff! To everyone who saw it, I love you <3

Additionally, I don’t know if this was a thing in the anime at all, but oftentimes in the manga, since people are in disguise and not their true selves so often, Aoyama does this thing where he draws the characters physically as they are, and then their “true form” vaguely behind them, like this:

And obviously this is done for the sake of the reader’s clarity, but I thought it would be fascinating if you know, Conan was acutely aware of Shinichi existing vaguely behind him. 

I know canonically only about a year has passed, and if I was Aoyama, and I knew I had to wrap it up neatly with a little bow and a happy ending, I would have done the same thing, and made time essentially stop. Because when time keeps passing, Shinichi’s lies will fall apart. How will he take college entrance exams, for example? How will he exist in society at all? 

However, I just. Straight up disagree with the fact that it’s only been a year. Detective Conan has been this everlasting constant throughout my life, so I think AT LEAST five years should have passed, just based on the vibes. After a certain point, Shinichi might still be able to get his old body back, but his old life definitely has an expiration date. And I think one of the things that makes Detective Conan such an incredible tragedy (at least one of the things that makes it have incredible potential as a tragedy) is Shinichi’s hope. 

He is a protagonist who starts off with more or less a perfect life: happy family, an excellent education headed down the path to a stable career that he loves, and reciprocated romanctic feelings. Then, he loses everything. And now he’s powered by the hope that he can eventually get it all back. But if it comes to a point where it’s impossible to get his old life back, then Shinichi, and everything he’s hoped for, needs to “die”, needs to be “let go”. And I suppose that’s what this comic is all about. 

Anyways, I didn’t mean to ramble so much, and it’s probably better to let my art speak for itself, but I hope everyone enjoys!

DCMKEmogust2021!

Hello everyone stuck in DCMK Hell! Wick here! It is August once again and it’s time for DCMKEmogust2021! Even if it is a bit last minute yet again >v<’ My apologies.

Emogust will run from Tuesday 03.08 till Tuesday 31.08. Our aim for the event is to make one another feel emotions!

  HOW DOES IT WORK? For this year I would like to experiment with the format of the challenge a bit. To see if it might make it a bit more exciting and inspiring.

The planned format is like this:

I’ll post the prompt list of the week on Sunday 21:00 (GMT+2)

The plan is to post our creations on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays each week instead of every day of the week like last year. [Though if you felt very inspired to create more than just for those 3 days, feel free to use the other days of the week too. Just remember to rest as well 0v0]

Each day has 2 words, 2 Dialogs, 2 pictures, and 2 songs that we can mix and match however we would like. They are there to inspire us! So if we just got inspired by one picture and nothing else, don’t feel the need to include the rest. It’s our choice! 

Our goal for the event will be to include as many genres as we can to evoke emotion. So for example if you are an Angst writer you set up a goal of 3-4 days that is not angst. How many days you want to challenge yourself with is up to you. - If you crave a bit more of a challenge. You can include that each day will have a different Genre just like last year. For this challenge you can’t have the same genre two days in a row. This means if you created something with angst Tuesday, you can’t create anything angsty again until Saturday. So it should be more like this example: Tues. Angst, Thurs. Crack and Sat. Fluff, so on and so forth.

Once we post our creation, we include the words, pictures, songs, etc. that inspired it!

If you are struggling and feeling that it isn’t fun anymore it is alright to skip a day or two or quit altogether. Let’s be honest, creating is hard and it’s okay to give up. The most important thing is to Have Fun!  All types of genres are welcome just as long as you tag them appropriately.

Now then, Let me know what you guys think of this setup, I would love to hear your opinions. Are the days too few? Should we have Mondays to Fridays with a break in the middle or keep the every other day? etc.

I hope to see you participating.

I can’t wait to see what you all can come up with♡

Remember to tag #DCMKEmogust2021 and this blog. @ me as well if you would like. //Wick 0v0

the silence in black and white (1/?)

Prompt: Expertise | Emotion: Longing

-

The lights from the vanity washed Saguru out. Stadium after stadium, tour after tour. The bags under his eyes were dark and heavy like bruises. He lost himself, staring at the mirror. How had it come to this? He picked up his eyeliner, tapping it between his fingers against the vanity’s top.

The crackling sound of burning fire. Saguru watched the mirror, empty of everything save his own reflection. But mirrors obscured just as much as they revealed. He was there. Saguru knew, even if the mirror didn’t.

Hands wrapped against his bare, muscled chest. A warm chuckle in his ear as a broad chest pressed against his back. He smelled of the faintest hint of embers. 

“I didn’t summon you,” Saguru said.

“Didn’t you?” the demon asked. He reached out with his long claws and rubbed the area over Saguru’s heart with one rough palm. He then closed his fingers, his hand forming a five pointed star, and jabbed his nails into Saguru’s flesh.

Saguru winced, and a bright blue five pointed star appeared on his skin temporarily before disappearing. “Is it time for the deal to come due?” he asked.

“That would be telling, wouldn’t it, Sa-gu-ru?” he said, singsong.

“You’re needlessly cruel,” Saguru said.

“You’re the one that asked for my expertise,” the demon said, burying his face in his neck and licking his throat with one forked tongue. Saguru shivered and tilted his head to the side. “And my my, how that’s made you millions.”

"I wasn't what we agreed on," Saguru said. "I wanted you to save their lives."

"And the money did, didn't it?" He rubbed his horn against Saguru's face. Spiraled and twisted, shaped like a markhor goat’s, but covered in soft velvet.

From memory, Saguru knew he had eyes the colour of the ocean depths that burned indigo with inner fire. That if he turned to look, he’d have unnaturally pale skin, almost the same colour of ice. Inhuman, one might say, if one were so inclined.

Saguru was so inclined. 

“Didn’t it?” he repeated.

“Yes,” Saguru said hoarsely. “Are you taking your voice back?” If so, Saguru would be glad to be rid of it.

“That’s not how this works,” Kid said, tickling his claws up his neck to cup his throat. “It’s yours to keep.” He laughed. “The way you are mine to keep.”

“And if I refuse to perform?” Saguru asked, snapping the eyeliner pencil in half.

“You will,” Kid said, and nuzzled against his cheek. “My dearest former detective.” He spun the chair around and seated himself in Saguru’s lap sideways, booted legs hanging over the edge of the chair. Saguru was taller, but only by nine centimeters or so. The boots he wore were leather, shin-high and thick-soled and buckled. Motorcycle boots, if Saguru had to guess. Leather trousers, fingerless gloves, a fishnet shirt, and a studded leather jacket finished the ensemble. He patted Saguru’s cheek. “Your boyfriend commands it.”

Saguru couldn’t help the way his lip curled. “Boyfriend?”

“It has come to my attention I need to keep a closer watch on you,” he said, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"You've already taken enough. My privacy, too?" What little he had left of it, anyway. After the paparazzi and the fans.

"I think you'll find that won't be much of a problem anymore," he said. He grinned wickedly, his teeth razor sharp, and snapped his fingers. Fire sparked, bright blue. Saguru felt the heat, watching it warily. He snapped again and the eyeliner pieces levitated and became whole.

Kid shifted so that he was straddling him. Saguru sucked in a breath at the intimate position. He felt the heat through both layers of leather. "I'm not going to give in."

Another laugh. "Do you think you have a choice?" He cupped his cheek, tapping his claws on his temple, next to his eyes. “That’s cute.”

He leaned in for a kiss. Saguru's lips parted against his will; he struggled against the movement, but the binding was whole and complete. He could only feel; his lips were obscenely warm; his tongue carried the taste of flame.

His body reacted against his will. Despite his inhuman looks and his new attitude, his body was still Kuroba's. The demon was exceptionally, exceptionally cruel.

Saguru still managed to pull away. "Enough," he said, his voice rough, both from arousal and from fighting the binding.

"But Saguru, isn't this what you wanted?" Kid said with a pout. 

He shifted in his lap, and Saguru cursed. "Not like this," he said, his voice weighted with want.

Kid traced his lips. “You should hear how he feels about this. I wonder if you’d sing a different tune, then.”

Saguru turned his head, cross at the reminder that he wore Kuroba’s face. “I don’t want to sing at all.”

Kid tapped the glowing blue tattoo over his heart, causing Saguru’s body to lock into place and turn rigid, and wrenched his head back so Saguru was facing him. His eyes gleamed. “Too bad, puppet. You signed up for it. No take backsies. Kiss me,” he commanded, and Saguru had to obey. 

He fought hard as his hands and body shifted of its own accord. No matter how hard he struggled, it was fruitless. 

(Maybe, he thought, it was because he really didn’t want to fight it at all. It was Kuroba’s body and it wore Kuroba’s face, and it said that Kuroba wanted this, but it would say anything to get Saguru to do what it wanted and therefore it couldn’t be trusted)

The kiss was soft, slow. Exploratory. Kid’s lips were soft. Saguru felt himself give in, little by little as Kid shifted to be more flush against his lap. Kid pulled him close, wrapping his arms around his back; his touch was hot. 

Saguru had yearned for this for a long time, and it was all fake. 

But he would take what he could get. Keeping the demon close would keep Kuroba close, and it knew it. It knew how to press all of his buttons and shape him to its will. 

The fire was there long before, and oh, how it burned.

The door to his dressing room burst open. “Mister Hakuba, the band sent me to tell you to start your vocal exercises, you’re on in thirty—Oh, I’m so sorry!” his personal assistant held up her clipboard to cover her eyes.

Not that she’d see anything, since Kid had reverted to human as soon as the door swung out.

“Don’t worry, his voice will get a lot of exercise before then,” Kid said, baring his teeth at her. She took a step back. 

“Kuroba,” Saguru scolded. He looked up at Diana and nodded. “I’ll be ready by then, don’t worry.”

“Alright!” she squeaked, and slammed the door behind her on her way out.

“You didn’t have to scare her,” Saguru said. 

“A little fear is healthy,” Kid said, horns and fangs and claws back. “Let's get you warmed up, so we can play a little more before your performance.” A flame appeared on the tip of his finger and he touched it to Saguru’s throat. Warmth spread up through his throat, and he exhaled slowly.

“You’ll enchant the whole arena tonight,” Kid murmured. “I am not the demon of music for nothing.”

That was all well and good, but Saguru longed to be free.

DCMKEmogust 2021 - 14/08

Inspiration:

My entry for DCMKEmogust 2021 - Saturday 14/08 It’s a bit late, but finally here! xD

My prompt Inspirations for this one:

Word 1 - Tail

Dialog 2 - "We have been dating for two months and you only tell me this now?"

Intended Genre: Suspense with humor

Rating: General 

Starring: Kaito and Shinichi

<<<><><><><>>>

Kaito has a strong monkey tail that he might have forgotten to mention to Shinichi...

The first time Shinichi saw it, they were about to fall to their deaths. They were out hiking around a steep canyon when the ground suddenly gave out from under Kaito. Shinichi reacted quickly and grabbed onto him. Unfortunately he forgot the extra weight their backpacks provided and he fell with him.

It happened so suddenly they barely had any time to think. They were grabbing and scrambling to find something, anything that would hold their weight. Lest they fall into the ravine far below. 

Kaito managed to snag a branch of a tree and had only a second to grab at Shinichi before he fell further. He desperately pulled at his arm to try and get them both to safety on a thicker branch. But it was too hard to use one hand to hold himself and the other to hold Shinichi.

Shinichi for his part was struggling to release his pack one-handed, but he couldn't get the damn buckle open. He felt how Kaito was straining to hold them up, slipping slightly and then readjusting his grip constantly. They wouldn't last much longer. If only he could get that buckle open.

He glances down and sees a protruding rock. If he angled himself right as he fell he might make it. It was a bit risky but at this rate they both would fall.

"I see a small cliff further down, I might be able to get to it if I let-

"You are not letting go of my hand!" Kaito snarls around a few strained pants, cutting him off. He nearly slips as he tries to lift them up by his one arm.

"Shit!" He curses, breaths are ragged.

"At this rate we will both fall, don't you think it would be better to risk it?" He says strained. If he had to die alone to let Kaito live he would do it.

"Oh no, don't give me that Bullshit love. Don't argue with me right now!" He spits out through gritted teeth as Shinichi tries to argue further.

"Let me try something" he says mysteriously.

Kaito takes in a deep breath and lets it out slowly, Shinichi can almost hear him Focusing.

Suddenly he feels how Kaito strains upward and angles his body closer, something slithers around his middle. He couldn't see it but he could feel the tight pressure of something. Kaito looks down at him with a bit of a strained smile that had nothing to do with him holding up two people and two travel packs.

He tightened his grip on his hand and then slackened it just a little, making his intentions known. 

"Do you trust me?" He asks, all serious like Shinichi would do anything else.

Shinichi didn't know what he was up to, but he took in a deep breath and let it out slowly to prepare himself.

"I trust you"

He lets go of his hand. Shinichi feels the sickening feeling of dropping. But only for a second before that pressure tightened and held him up. He hears Kaito curse and grit his teeth as he reaches for the branch with his other hand. He couldn't for the life of him understand what he was holding him up with. But it was working.

Kaito heaved them both up the branch. He got his legs around it to give him purchase and when he felt stable enough he reached down to grab Shinichi. Pulling him upp on the branch so he could get him to safety. Shinichi sighed in relief as he finally settled on the branch in front of Kaito. The pressure on his middle slithered away as Kaito let out a sigh of relief himself.

After a minute of shaking off the feeling of dread he finally managed to ask the question that had plagued his curiosity.

"What did you do? I couldn't see anything holding me up?" He looks around Kaito to emphasise that there really was nothing.

Kaito chuckles awkwardly and shifts on the branch.

"It's nothing to concern yourself about love"

Shinichi frowns "Of course I want to know, you know I love a good mystery, and this was no trick."

Kaito takes his hand in his with a smile. "Just don't freak out" 

Shinichi blinks in confusion "freak out?"

Kaito sighs, adopting a focused look and suddenly a strange furry appendage appears behind him, twitching in nervousness.

"...What is that?"  He can't help but ask.

Kaito smiles "...This, is my Monkey tail"

"Your… monkey tail? You have a monkey tail?!"

"Yes..."

"We have been dating for the last 2 months and known each other for longer than that and you only tell me this now??"

"It's not really something you tell people you know"

"But you know me"

"Yes, and I know you well enough to know you wouldn't have believe me"

"I would-" he stops "No wait… I wouldn't"

Kaito chuckles at his admittance and wills the tail to disappear from sight. How fascinating.

“Now then, what do you say? Should we find a way back up this cliff before someone sends out a search party for us?” he says and starts finding a way up from where they were.

Shinichi winces, he would rather not have the whole police force searching from them. He knows they care, but it quickly becomes mayhem when they go on the hunt for them. Since they always assume the worst when they disappear. But with their track record it couldn’t be helped.

They made the slow and careful climb up the cliff and made it home before it got  too dark. Unfortunately, Their friends had already begone to form a search party by the time they came back. Go figure.

END

Until next time

Prompt:

For the second Thursday of DCMKEmogust2021 I chose to work with the second photo prompt provided. Trying to go with humor this time, we’ll see how success it is. Tagging the blog running the show this year @dcmkemogust20xx​

"Why do I have to do this?" Jodie was griping. She knew why but sometimes one just had to ask again as a means of complaining. 

"You know why," James replied. "The kids thought it would be a good way for you, and all of us really, to repay them and you have teaching experience."

Jodie was quick to retort. "Yeah, but my teaching experience was teaching high schoolers English, not teaching elementary schoolers."

"True, but teaching experience is still teaching experience. You know how to lead a classroom. Either way you'll just be a guest for one period and reading them a book. It'll be fun."

"If it's fun then you do it."

"You know I'm busy then." James paused for a moment before he spoke again. "Plus it will be good exposure for them, since they eventually will likely all have to take English classes in junior high and high school. This will be an easy introduction for them, having a book read to them in both English and Japanese."

"They're first graders, junior high is still a long way off for them." It was Jodie's turn to pause, but she wasn't done expressing her displeasure. She just needed a new angle of attack. It wasn't long before she found one though. "I don't even remember this book, The Rainbow Fish." 

"That's true, I think it's probably a little too new for you to have had this read to you as a kid. But it was what we could find in both English and Japanese. You remember us shopping for it."

"Yeah, it did take us a while to find a book," Jodie trailed off before resuming, "but there are other books that are more fun to read! We did find If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in Japanese and I can probably remember the English or simply translate it as I go…"

"We already went over why we weren't doing that. We're donating the copies of the books afterwards, remember?" James reminded her.

"Yeah yeah yeah." Jodie sighed. There really was no getting out of it. "I still think Akai should have done this though. The kids loved him as Subaru—"

James quickly cut her off, "And they were mildly scared by his first appearance as himself before he explained who he was." 

"Yeah, well, any kid would be surprised if a man they didn't think they knew approached them. At least Conan was there. But you're right he definitely might accidentally scare a kid… The circles under his eyes have been getting worse too."

"You're right, they have been," James agreed. "Anyways it's only an hour and it'll probably be a nice break. And Kobayashi will still be there helping. I wonder what other activities she has planned."

"So long as it doesn't involve glitter, I don't care. But if it involves glitter, I'm outta there and will blame it on an urgent phone call from you."

That got a chuckle out of James. "Fair enough, I'll be your emergency exit excuse."

a few notes: last line sounds kinda shippy, but it wasn’t really intended that way. in fact it already sounds less shippy that it originally was. i might edit this one later to try and change that, if I end up collecting my responses again this year on ao3. if you wanna read it as shippy be my guest though and enjoy it, I don’t care.

[privateeye-cj]

Love it. And you are sooo on point.

@dcmkemogust20xx​ DCMK Emogust Week One! I took inspiration from the dialogue prompts on day 2: “Please marry me” as well as “You can’t stay here.”

DCMKEmogust2021 l @dcmkemogust20xx

Day: Thurs (12/08)

Dialog: What… why would you want that?

Warning: Blood and Character death

[Um Right to Left this time]

I wanted to use this dialog but idk what would mix well with it. Then, I remembered people keep making Shinichi stayed as Conan and my mind was like... What if he died as Conan as the organisation somehow knew about his identity and trapped him? And he didn't have enough time to survive and end up calling Ran? Then boom! Please ignore the blood as I never draw that and the hands too sighhh.
