tired of cgi slander on this site

[crunchyapple33]

I recently started following you and your posts inspired me to make a drag race Dr! I’ve always wanted to shift to rpdr but never had anyone else to talk about it with or seen anyone else talk about it. I don’t have much scripted, just that I’m shifting to season 17 and my s/o is Suzie Toot, and I’m still stuck on a drag name, which leads me to my question. How did you settle on your drag name and aesthetic? Eden elysian sounds so pretty btw!

OMGOMG HIII!!!!! I LOVE U SOOOOOSO MUCH!!!!! you have no absolute idea how happy i am to hear that i inspired you to make a drag race dr!!!! i wanted to make one for sooo long but never did because i didn't see other drag race shifters, but since making my dr and coming onto shiftblr, i feel like i've seen soo many people saying that a drag race dr is a good idea , and now you've even made one as well!!!! it truly makes me teary eyed 🥺🥺🥺🥺

tysm im so happy u like my drag name!!! :D

so , how i settled on my drag name and aesthetic was . highkey slightly pinterest, and already knowing of a few types of aesthetics that i already liked! for my persona, i took inspiration from the coffinwood aesthetic (which the aesthetics wiki removed the page for and i am devastated, but there is a good reference in the coffinwood tag here on tumblr!), and also just . life is strange and yellowjackets, and my alterhumanity, which is how i managed to fall into a drag persona who was an undead deer-human princess , hehehe.

so tldr: i gathered images of an aesthetic that i liked, and i built my persona around the collection of pictures i had collected!! here is my pinterest board , btw , that i have my aesthetic pictures in! begging that i remembered to unprivate my pinterest lmfao

and from there, with my persona and her aesthetic done, that was when i decided to figure out her name. i actually originally looked for punny names, and there's a few different idea sites out there, but i didn't really connect with any of them, so i went looking for 'foresty' type names that sounded as mystical and pretty as my aesthetic, and i found eden, and later on i found elysian !!

im confident that you could start the process any which way; figure out your name and then your aesthetic, your aesthetic and then your name, or any other way !!

A Walk Down my Art Memory Lane!

Now that I’m thinking about my childhood Kirby art, I dug through my storage a bit and thought it’d be fun to share a few! Here are some of Baby Jojo’s drawings!

note: I was not active in any online Kirby art communities at the time and I never posted these anywhere so I made these drawings just for my own enjoyment hehehe.

These are probably among my earliest Kirby drawings. Most likely ~2008!! I must’ve been in fifth grade maybe…? The first picture is a very rare example of pre-2022 Dedede sightings in my art. Around 2010 I became embarrassed and frustrated about not being able to figure his shapes out. So I spent the next 12 years avoiding him at all costs and instead sticking to the safer things to draw, like nice round Bronto Burts or Waddle Dees. Who knew it would take me writing an entire comic about him in 2022 to finally learn to draw him in my style!! :P

The second picture speaks for itself lol. I was the girl who googled “maskless meta knight” back when we had no fancy 3D renderings of his face. Just edits of anime screenshots and fanart of him holding his mask/getting his mask stolen and looking at you with the biggest, pearliest, white eyes. JPEG artifacts littered these images like sprinkles on a cupcake. And I would giggle and squee with every one like the baby fangirl of Meta Knight I was. :3

This one was probably ~2009. Very ambitious piece for me at that age. I struggled with the perfect roundness of Kirby haha. I had just gotten these cool alphabet stencils and couldn’t wait to write “Kirby” everywhere with them. This was probably the complete catalogue of Kirby characters I had the ability to draw at that time. It’s funny to think about how Magolor wouldn’t exist for another two years when I drew this.

Hmm. Maybe I should redraw this one day as a fun honor for my younger self.

Triple Waddle Dees!! A rare but precious Sailor Dee sighting, and of course my sweet Bandana Dee. This was probably around 2011 after Return to Dreamland came out and I came to adore Bandee. :3

This is probably around 2012- some time after Mass Attack came out. I had this AU at the time where each of the 10 Kirbies from Mass Attack had their own personality trait from the original Kirby, and a permanent copy ability assigned to them. Hence the Spark Kirby having wings and a halo like in the game- where you get damaged and have to rescue the poor Angel Kirbies before you lose that life!

Also my Poppy Bro Jr OC that I don’t think I named at the time- but I redrew him recently and named him Allegro the Poppy Bro. I loved drawing his hair and his funny teeth :D

Finally, I redrew just a few of the characters from my old drawings tonight. Just doodling for fun, nothing serious. But it’s something my child self would be happy to know I could do.

Guess I’d better draw all the Dededes that Baby Jojo missed out on drawing!! Thank you to anyone who read to this point. I encourage anyone to draw things that would make their younger, baby self proud of you. ….even though I bet they already are proud of you. <3

Remember, as long as you keep drawing, you’ll improve at your pace! Just keep at it! You’ll notice that difference over the years!

homestuck reread #18: the prologue (briefly) and meat p1

----brief context----

i sorta fell out of homestuck a little after i finished it and its november now but in light of james roach reviving homestuck beyond canon i figured i might as well get the ball rolling on this. i originally started this post in september but i couldnt find it in myself to continue reading due to not liking where the story was going and also finding myself having a new hyperfixation

----end of context----

september 7th:

okay im gonna make a rule that this shit show thats about to happen is NOT CANON to me and in my head they won and then they created earth c and they all lived happily without any of this inane bullshit thats coming up.

ok to start off look at these fucking tags dude oh my god this is gonna be so BAD man what the FUCK did they do to these characters

theres no art which actually sucks! but with these tags maybe its good they didnt show this in images. instead they just describe it in excruciating detail. anyway, here's the first character interaction in here.... they both feel different. even in this brief exchange, something feels... off. maybe its just cause theyre older but they feel distinctly more... angsty? maybe they just seem sad. i dunno. homestuck has its sad moments but for the most part the characters arent like. sad people

/rolls eyes yeah i like the reference but not in this context...

ok so rose just explained what john has to do which is go back into canon and defeat lord english but.... this is really fucked up man . she knows

meat or candy.... fuck which one should i read first.... do i wanna be sad sooner or sad later ... MAN the epilogues SUCK!!!!! FUCK

um okay this is really gross. what is the point of this?? like EW john what the fuck

ok this is fine i guess i mean i like davekat

i guess i also like how he still has this weird obsession with obama

november 10th:

im back . but i think updates to this series will be slower. i need to ease myself back into it yknow? also. if i hadnt made it clear. i DO NOT LIKE the epilogues. especially because homestuck proper is my FAVORITE MEDIA OF ALL TIME. seeing the characters i love ruined like this in what is the most official capacity it could be in is.... just. sad to me. anyway. dave predicts the future about obama . cool.

yeah i do too man. cant have shit around here

yeah like. what even is this plot. jane has become this evil xenophobic cartoon ass villain. and everyones just like. damn thats crazy that shes just like that now. i also dont even understand WHY she wants to be president of earth c. like literally everyone else is just chilling. god whatever

brother he is not coming back

also, this has nothing to do with the epilogues per se. but at the time of writing this tomorrow will be 11/11. i am a little bit expecting a homestuck beyond canon updateeee hehehe . also burning down the house which is a really really good homestuck fan comic is supposed to update too. so awesome. hopefully both of those things happen. or even like. just one. anyway back to this slop

casual dave xenophobia classic dave you know how it is he would definitely be like this for real i believe this

man this would be so cool if it was like. drawn. i wish i could see it instead of having to envision it in my minds eye. not that i dont appreciate my minds eye for what she has to offer me but. imagine this what this panel would look like

noooooo FUCK

stares at you furiously judgementally

okay both of them most likely dont know shit about shit and neither do i but dave at least grew up in a time where there were people around and things happening and dirk thinks he knows everything but he actually doesnt know anything so i wouldnt trust him on fiscal policy

fym nuh uh

average teen roxy adult john interaction

literally down ontologically at this point

blah blah blah ultimate self blah blah evil arc WHO CARES. im bored. can i say that. i seriously D. GAF about dirk rn. monkey d. gaf

bro i fucking HATE JANE. LIKE WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING RIGHT NOW

i dont have much to say about this i just thought it was worth putting here

nah. cause what the hell are you talking about girl. hello. why is she so horny. ong bro u gotta relax

okay well. this is pretty funny . hes dave and im karkat and we are the denial brothers

youre so intolerable is crazy. like hes trying to help you because you are bleeding tf out girl

wow. jane jake kiss. this rules. SAID NO ONE EVER. jake is asexual. jane is a nazi. and I. AM TIRED. OF THIS!!!!!!! I DONT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING .

wait fuck

marvel ass dialogue

NOOOO WHAT THE FUCK

okay this is the end of the first epilogues post. initial thoughts i dont like it why did i do this i dont wanna do it. but you know what they say in order to ascend first you must descend. little homestuck reference for you all. um idk when the next post will be im sorta busier than i used to be. and also? this sucks i dont like reading it

~ Rose Ribbon Queen ~

When I first got into Otocadoll, I came across the Rose Ribbon Coord, which was one of my favorites as I'm generally into Cool/Sexy typed idols... https://otocadoll.fandom.com/wiki/Rose_Ribbon_Coord

It was giving me that vibe even tho I will admit that the color scheme for this outfit is pretty pastel!😙

I think that this turned out pretty great and I hope to continue making more Anidol coord cosplays in the future besides this and Fuwari's one...

Welp, what can I say, go check out my other arts hehehe...and have fun in doing so too!!!

P L E A S E R E A D:

The character, Forte Elza is a character of the Aikatsu! Stars series, which RIGHTFULLY belongs to Bandai Namco, BN Pictures, and ALL of the other companies + owners of the Aikatsu! franchise, and the Rose Ribbon Coord is a Coord of the Otocadoll franchise, which also RIGHTFULLY belongs to Konami, Bemani, and all of the other companies + owners of the Otocadoll franchise, therefore Forte Elza is NOT my original character, and the Rose Ribbon is not my original outfit, however this IS my original fanart.

Screams and screams and screams and scr—

Will really said Uno Reverse Card Michael, gimme Your art, let me Heart Eyes at You.

“Holy shit–why hadn’t Will gone for charcoals this year? He can already feel each scrape of the material against the page as he tries to carve out Mike’s cheekbones and messy hair, bore such soft darkness into his eyes to convey just the right amount of attitude, insecurity, and, above all, warmth.” The mood of wanting to draw ur crush/love at All times is So realistic and honestly Will is The Most valid person ever.

Lucas being so happy for Will being confident and going after what he wants and deserves is so!!! I love friendship So Much🥰😭

Damn!!! Will that turned out So Smooth!!!!! Mike so fluster! Also screaming bc your words always so !!! Pretty!!! Also Mike getting what he deserves—to be asked out and practically swept off his feet in words by the boy he loves!!!!

Also fair dates are so>>>>>>>>> I’m very excited!!

“It’s been approximately two minutes since Will asked his best friend out on a date, and Mike’s finally breaking into a grin, his shoulders not folding in nearly as much on himself as they had been. It’s a moment Will wishes he could capture in a jar and sketch later, that he could study the lighting and the angles and the depth of this image of Mike before him: raw with joy, shining, his smile as wide as it’s ever been.” Word Artist!!!!! I want to capture This in a jar hwisisjxjd I am Biting/affectionate

I’m very out of it and groggy today but this was a lovely treat that perked me up🥰 (Also u calling Me an artist last ask, I got So flustered yendjsxishd 🫣) hope your week is going very well!!

first of all i would like to know what in my shrimp brain made me almost forget to respond to this T_T i was just about to post the new chapter when i went "wAIT VEE-" so. my apologies. here's some glowing flowers 💐💐💐

Will said "let me put HIM through the mortifying ordeal of being perceived through art," both in wanting to draw Mike and wanting Mike's drawing. *holds Will up* he's just a little guy

!!! YES i loved getting to write Will and Lucas' conversation. Some funny backstory behind it: i was writing it out in a notebook in the last like 15 minutes of my workday on friday and i hadn't realized i was supposed to be in a meeting. i happened to glance up from my notebook and saw a message from my trainer asking if i had time to join the call that had been going on for like three minutes and i had to rush into it and pretend like i wasn't late because i'd been writing That 🙃

honestly Will asking out Mike became a lot more meaningful to me when i realized that Mike's never been asked out either. maybe he just wants to be swept off of his feet too, you know?

yes the fair vibes will be coming soon :D when i was first brainstorming for this fic, i had to put on my girlpop playlist (which is what i have to do if i want to write fluff), and Twice's Yes or Yes came on. the whole mv is fair/carnival themed, so i just rolled with that, and it's stuck around since. it's a weird remnant of what this fic was originally going to be, but i enjoyed the setting too much to completely scrap it heheh

i will gladly accept your bites 😌 i'm glad you liked that line!! i think i was thinking of jars because i mentioned fireflies earlier. and now i'm thinking of owl city,,,

as luck would have it, i am very groggy and out of it answering this alsdfjklsaj i hope it was coherent enough!! BUT THANKS FOR THE LOVELY WORDS!! i hope your day has been better today, and i hope the rest of your week goes well :] 💜💜💜

[my-whumpy-little-heart]

In anticipation of @whump-tr0pes​‘ lovely book “Honor Bound” coming out soon, I used a class assignment as an excuse to make fanart! 

So the assignment was to make an advertisement poster for something, so I kinda went with making a movie poster(?) for Honor Bound. 

This isn’t technically the finished product since I adjusted some levels after this test, but with school being closed I figured I wasn’t going to have access to another laser engraver for a long while (oh! this was printed by a laser engraver on a piece of cardboard by the way).

I have more details, symbolism, and a sketch to talk about, but I’ll leave those below a cut because that’s gonna end up reeeally long.

So first of all, I loved the idea of having a sort of collage of all the team member names, but I also wanted to include some sort of drawn portrait too. So bam, all the team names superimposed on a sketch of what I imagine Isaac to look like, since he’s essentially the main character through a lot of the story.

As for the team name placement, I had a bit of thought behind that besides aesthetics. Because I’m a sucker for ~~symbolism~~

Isaac: his name’s at the top since he was originally a leader figure in the group, and while not exactly the brains, he often has a high level of authority.

Sam: Placed right near Isaac, exactly where he always wants to be :D. Also near the eyebrows (often purposefully accentuated to appear more attractive) for being one of the “prettier” members of the group.

Vera: Right along the bridge of the nose, at the forefront of the action but also most easily broken ;). Farther away from the other names for the beginning of the story when she’s more often emotionally closed off from the team.

Ellis and Finn: A double whammy with Ellis along the cheekbones: sharp and intuitive, a strong standout member of the team, and Finn just below them in the softer skin by the nose: more hidden in the background, a very important asset and beloved Soft One. Complimenting and juxtaposing each other, but connected at the hip.

Gray: The stiff upper lip of the group (you have no idea how proud of myself I am for coming up with that hehehe), often strict and restrained, but filled with a whole lot of love. Everybody’s parent, and my beloved ace rep ;v; ily gray honey.

Tori: A newer member of the group, finding her place in the background but proving to be a large, essential teammate. Slotted in the space under the cheekbones, she is less often thought of but no less developed and important.

Gavin: Along the jawline for his sharp acerbity and making himself a permanent spot in the team’s story, whether they like it or not. Largely important, but separated and easily dislocated. As much as the team would like to shake him off, it would only hurt the entire structure more.

Alright wow that was a lot.

Anyway, for the overall picture, I loved the side profile aspect and had Isaac stare determinedly at the word “Honor.” I feel like he connects a lot to the title in how he at first goes to Gavin to preserve his own honor as a useful member of the team, and slowly relinquishes it to try and save them in the same way. Not that either of that really works, huh? Poor Isaac awwww buddy.

Now, you might ask, why is he collared? Uhhhhhhhhhh I have a really good explanation somewhere around hereeee come on man, just truthfully tell me you don’t want to see Isaac Moore collared and only then will I give you the good explanation I definitely have

Past that, I just included the little heartbeat graphic because I needed something fun to put in the background so it didn’t look bland. Hearbeat it is. Meaning is that all the characters try to stay alive. Wham. There ya go. Alright, uhhh next.

Athena revealed her full name and the book and everything in the middle of me making this, and I would have put her full name for accuracy, but I didn’t really want my teacher to have a reason or way to trace this back to the actual book lol. I told him it was something I was reading online and that was it, so he doesn’t need to know anything about my whumpy side.

That being said, the W-T just stands for whump-tr0pes. Plus I love the way capital letters look in that font, so how could I resist?

Besides all of the design elements, if you guys are at all curious about how I made this logistically, it was with a program called Lightburn. That’s where I added all the text, and imported an image from the internet of a heartbeat and manipulated it to make it work and fit. As for the picture of Isaac, I drew that myself first on a sketch in my notebook.

Then I took it into Photoshop, drew over it and cleaned it up, and saved as an image that I then opened in Lightburn. And then painstakingly edited the text so it would curve along the lines of the face (the stupid program didn’t have a way to actually manipulate and bend text, so that left my typing out names letter by letter and aligning them while my soul melted away into a puddle aghHHH)

Alright I think that’s finally all I have to say on this. Had too much fun making it, all that jazz, I’ll get out of here now. If you read this far, kudos to you. I admire you, whoever you may be.

SU rewatch- S1E10- Steven’s Lion

Lights up. A magical pink lion enters stage right. 

And really, what a perfect fit for a magical boy who has- on multiple occasions- fulfilled many a Disney princess trope. Let’s make a count... He’s got a deceased parent, has broken into song while looking out at sea, possesses healing tears + other various powers, is essentially space royalty (although he doesn’t know that yet), and in this ep- gains an animal sidekick.

A rather docile sidekick, for a legit lion.

Y’know, Lion’s docile nature makes a lot more sense with more recent knowledge we’ve gained about Rose’s pink zombification power via the official Steven Universe podcast- namely, how both Lion and Lars don’t need to eat anymore. (And how food tastes completely bland to them now.) No wonder this big cat never makes any moves, he’s probably long since figured out that there’s no need to kill for food anymore.

It’s also probably why he likes Lion Lickers- he’s literally got bad taste ahahahah XD

This image is so sweet though, awww. Look at this boy cuddle up to this oversized house cat. I’m... admittedly concerned at how trusting it is, but at least we all have the foreknowledge that Lion poses no threat.

Steven: “Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl are coming! Quick, put my head in your mouth-”

Buddy. Buddy. Why are you like this. Steven. Why you wanna scare the bejesus outta your guardians. You’re gonna make them reform with grey hair, Steven. Gawdddd.

Steven: “Lion, I gotta go. I had a lot of fun. I think you really get me!”

I have to wonder if this statement runs a bit deeper than just... Steven’s typical M.O. of personifying and befriending anything/anyone. ‘Cause like, at this point in the show? He’s got a supportive dad and the Gems clearly adore and dote on him, and he’s a pretty extroverted kid, but... all the same, I kinda get some lonely vibes from him. After all, there’s a big difference in having a lot of people in your life and also feeling heard by those people. Feeling like a part of the group. Feeling understood.

Steven can count on his dad for a loooooot, Greg’s wonderful- but he’s also just human. He doesn’t always understand all the Gem stuff his son gets up to, and for that reason naturally won’t be able to relate with all of his problems. And the Gems all love him, but he’s often left out of activities. They’re just as bemused by many of his human activities as his dad is to Gem ones. He talks a lot with people in town, like Lars and Sadie, but much of it early on doesn’t seem to go far beyond the typical Steven-y small talk. He hasn’t gotten the chance to really connect with all of these people, and he hasn’t made a friend his age who really understands both sides of his life yet. Someone who gets him. (He’s not there with Connie yet, but he will be.)

I think deep down Steven is very aware of this, even if he barely ever brings it up.

It’s always in these lighthearted seeming moments that I catch little glimpses of this kid’s inner insecurities hiding around the curtain.

I major dig Steven and Amethyst’s couch pillow fort. Big childhood vibes right there. That’s like, all I did as a kid. That and lose toy cars in the sandbox forever ahfhshjgh. But never mind all that!

Steven: “We’re together again!”

Indeed, my young sir. The bearer of the Pink Diamond gem and the lion brought back to life by the original Pink Diamond. Reunited at last. ;w;

We’re all in agreement that this is why Lion followed Steven home, right? Because he sensed his gem and recognized who’s it was? Hmm, though I still do wonder how Lion came to be alone in the middle of the desert in the first place.

Um. Why is Steven’s idea of what “best friends” do an extreme life-or-death trust fall? Or... throwing a ball back and forth? Oh my god, please get this kid some real friends.

He’s so extroverted, and so genuinely friendly... able to talk to anyone, but this just makes it so blindingly obvious how little he’s been socialized around any other kids his age. Before Connie it was only Peedee, and he practically doesn’t count based on how quickly he was forced to grow up to help run the family business. Again, as said above, he’s got legit good relationships with his family, but family is different from friends. Both are so, so important in their own ways.

Steven: “I’m ordering for two!”

Ronaldo: [spittakes]

Ronaldo: “STEVEN’S PREGNANT???”

This scene is flippin’ ICONIC. My god.

Additionally, it’s the first time we get to see Kiki and Kofi, and the interior of Fish Stew Pizza! 

Steven: “Onion, you believe me, right?”

The expressions in this scene crack me up, Steven’s legitimately upset to have lost Onion’s approval jhfshjg

Steven. I know you’re upset at the idea that Lion didn’t return for you, and only came for the pillow, but please explain what good yeeting it like fifty feet away will do. This child exudes Big Clueless Energy sometimes, I swear.

Nonetheless, he clearly wasn’t listening earlier when Pearl was nagging Amethyst to keep it off the sand.

And look where that got him! :D

On his own, separated from the rest of the Gems’ help, vying to retrieve an artifact that- when active- poses a legit threat to his safety. For as unwise as he was to throw the pillow in the first place, he makes up for his lapse in logic here with his sheer determination. Look at this young man go! He sees what needs to be done and he jumps right to it.

He would’ve succeeded too, if it weren’t for how crumbly the desert glass castle was. Thank goodness for Lion’s loyalty, or else he could’ve gotten really hurt here.

Steven: “Lion! You didn’t come here to steal the pillow... You came here to protect us from it!”

I think he’s half right on this. As previously stated, I’m of the opinion that Lion originally followed Steven because he recognized the gemstone of his healer. I also think that when he saw the pillow and began fixating on it, he was kinda bein’ all... “put that sucker away, you dummies!” I mean, if he lived in the same desert as the desert glass for all that time then I’m sure he’s grown to recognize its power.

But in the end Steven has no reason to assume Lion has any connection to his mom, so it’s a fair assumption to make.

I really like how the artists transition from the muted, limited color pallet to the normal full-saturation one when Lion and Steven burst out of the wall with the artifact in hand- that’s a cool touch.

Aaaand then...

Whomp. There they gooo ;D; 

Enough epic heroism for the day, now it’s time to face plant into the dirt. I love Lion’s little disgruntled face here, heheh.

Pearl: “Are we really going to let him keep that?” Garnet: “We kept Amethyst.” Pearl: “Oh! Kept Amethyst. Oh, Garnet, that’s priceless!”

This is funny on its own, but it also reminds me that we haven’t truly gotten to see how Amethyst met the Crystal Gems yet. That’s one of the top five things I’m betting season six will tackle- I’m sure there’s more to how that happened, perhaps an arc relevant reason why Amethyst overcooked in the first place. And if not that, then it’d be a fun flashback story to tell.

(Are we really sure there’s no other Gems who also overcooked on Earth? Who maybe... haven’t even emerged yet? I’d be really surprised if Amethyst was the only one, to be honest.)

With this episode, though, the show’s finally introduced all the big characters who we’ll get to know more as the season progresses. The foundation has been officially laid! Every episode from here on out begins to build upon this foundation more and more.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you in Arcade Mania!

I heard she’s really busy. Don’t you think you’re making her even busier? (V…)

I think he’s trying to decrypt the coordinates as fast as he can. (V)

Do the mint-colored eyes mean something? (V)

You sound like you’re hiding something again, V. (V…)

I don’t think getting the right coordinates is going to be easy. (V)

What is it? Can’t you tell me? (V…)

So there’s something is this place that Luciel must not find out. (V…)

V, you shouldn’t let yourself get in danger… That might be the best way for you.  (V)

Yes? (nothing)

Hmm? (nothing but at this one, he laughs 😉)

Actually, I’m a little bored since they’re ignoring me. (V)

I’m alright… It’s rather quiet here. (nothing)

I’m already anxious enough. And that’s more than uncomfortable enough… (V…)

Thanks, but I’m not really sure if you changed. (V…)

You turned a little brighter thanks to me, didn’t you?^^ (V)

Do you think I’m attractive, V? (V)

I think V is slowly approaching me because my heart is wide open for him. (V)

I hope V will take courage and break his wall himself! (V)

To be honest, I feel so frustrated whenever I talk them! (V…)

What? Why? (nothing)

Why don’t you go there yourself?  (nothing)

Don’t you think he might have seen them already? (nothing)

Jaehee, please make sure V doesn’t see those pictures. (V)

Are you the one who sent those images to the RFA? (V)

Why do you keep doing this? (V)

It looks like nothing but a malicious delivery… (V)

So you’re saying V is not trustworthy? (V…)

Actually, I think it’s reckless that he’s coming to save me all by himself. (V…)

Right now I am a hostage… (V)

They’ll come to save me if I lose contact by force. (V)

Wouldn’t it help you if I keep contacting the RFA? (V…)

Now that I listen to you… I’m not so sure. (Unknown)

I’ll trust V. (V)

Show me that you truly repent. (Unknown)

Don’t touch the RFA anymore. And please let me go. (V)

I’ll think about it if you show me that you’re in torment.  (Unknown… God he is so desperate…it’s so painful...)

Please don’t torment Seven too much… (707)

Lucky you, Jaehee T-T (Jaehee)

Zen, do you know how to drive? (Zen)

It’s so sad but it looks like something is definitely wrong. (V)

Maybe Rika is really alive. They’re her parents, after all.  (V)

And you’ve been blaming V all this time with no idea about this… (V…)

Do you think what we know about Rika is what she really is? (V)

But I think it’s strange Rika never talked about her parents.. (V)

They’re basically strangers, don’t you think? (V)

It looks like Rika’s parents don’t know her very well. (nothing)

But they’re still her parents. Maybe it’s true to some extent. (nothing)

I wonder what Rika was like when she was with her parents. (V)

This isn’t your fault… (Yoosung)

V didn’t add to Rika’s trouble, did he? (V…)

Perhaps that’s why she made such a dire choice. (V)

I think it’s time to let go of Rika (Yoosung)

You shouldn’t look for someone to blame. Instead, you should start offering condolence to Rika with your heart. (V)

But whether we can trust what V discovered is a whole different question. (V…)

From now on let’s trust V together. (V)

If you’re stressed out, you might want to take a break. Don’t think about anything else. (Yoosung)

But marriage happens between two people, not two families. (V)

Goku: I’m not giving any to you!! Hakkai: Welcome back.  We were worried, Goku.  Sanzo was waiting too. Sanzo: What are you talking about? Goku: Huh? Hakkai: Well, the manju was. sfx: hop END

P127 Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology Author Comments

AU Congratulations on the Saiyuki Reload Blast anime and sale of the anthology.  Thank you very much for the opportunity to work with such a wonderful creation.  I look forward to seeing what lies ahead for the Sanzo Ikkou.

Akanatsu Congratulations on publication of the Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology!  I was able to draw for the Saiyuki Gaiden Anthology too, so I’d be happy if you read that as well!

Usatoru I am so grateful I was able to participate in this!  I had a lot of fun drawing.  I wasn’t able to put him in this time, but my favorite is Hazel.

Ueda Shinsyu Congratulations on 20 years of Saiyuki!  I’m very happy to have been able to participate in the Anthology at this memorable point in time.  Goku is becoming more and more manly, and I look forward to seeing how he continues to grow and where the story goes from here.

Katagiri Ikumi Before I knew it, the mini Goku-chan story I had planned to draw transformed into a Gojyo manga.  Congratulations on the new new new Saiyuki anime!

Endou Minari This is Endou who was supposed to be a Sanzo fan, but recently Goku’s smile has seeped into my heart.  I wonder if this is what it means to get old... My favorite character is Sharak Sanzo, and I love everything about her so much.  Also, I reread all the books to prep for this anthology, and I think Hakkai and Kanan are just too cute!  Huh?  This isn’t the place to talk about that?  Character limit?  So heartless.  It’s too bad there are so many fascinating characters and I don’t have space to write about them all.  I’m looking forward to what’s going to happen in Saiyuki, now that it’s entered the final stage and is getting more and more exciting.

P128 Kogami Nana Thank you very much for inviting me to participate in this.  Congratulations on the anime!  I really love how Kougaiji interacts with Lirin-chan.  I love Lirin-chan’s personality, her muscular yet flexible legs, and her voluptuous chest.

Kouga Yun I’ve had a long relationship with the Sanzo gang.  I’ll always love them.  I plan to continue stalking Sanzo and watching over him for years to come.  I pray for Minekura Sensei’s health above all!

Tachibana Congratulations on 20 years of the Saiyuki series!!  The difficulty increases 1.5 times when the hotness (and nakedness) goes up!  I got to have fun and draw my beloved Gojyo getting defiant!

Suzumoto Jun Thank you so much for letting me participate in this Saiyuki Anthology!  I’m from the generic generation so this is a huge honor.  I was happy I got to draw Kougaiji because I like him.  It was fun having lots of characters appear!

naked ape Congratulations on 20 years of the Saiyuki series and the Saiyuki Reload Blast anime!  I got to draw an image that contrasts with the Gaiden anthology, and exclaim over the coolness of the Sanzo Ikkou.  Thank you very much for this opportunity!

D・Kissan Congratulations on 20 years of the Saiyuki series!  I started thinking of a plot that would let me draw a lot of the cool Sharak Sanzo-sama, but it ended up being a manga all about silly Hassan-san.  I’m so sorry...

Mikawa Verno I wanted to draw an amusing, slap-stick...-y tale about the Ikkou that wouldn’t usually be drawn, but whaaaat!?
