suggestion: draw your two favourite characters ever in a ship

This is probably the most blursed suggestion I've ever gotten </3

I present to you...

Kenji Noda and Herr Knock ... 😨

This one probably isn't as bad as I made it out to be but I thought it'd be pretty funny compared to doing this with my other favourites. Other than Hojo, I refused to draw Kenji/Hojo.

Anyways. Here's this beatiful monstrosity <3

Accompanied with this too

And this (this one's pretty rushed XP)

Why did I agree to do th- I mean thank you for the ask, anon! OuO'

I dont know what I've created either 😭🙏

[cherry-dr0p]

Saw this and my mind for some bizarre reason immediately went to cat Knock so have this

(A masterpiece Id say)

Original photo;

I also haven't drawn kitty Knock in a while so <3

Also this is rather quick and not much thought got put into it. Enjoy ♡

Cat acquired: mission success 🐱

Was feeling a bit blegh tonight so I decided to draw Kenji holding a cat :O

This is living proof that you dont need super clean lineart to make your art look awesome >:3 You just need cat.

More stuff below!! VVV

Couple of other WIPS and stuff;

Photo I took inspiration from;

He looks so happy :3

Safe to say this has cheered me up :) I love kibty

Sneak peek for upcoming drawing 👀

NOT FINISHED OBVIOUSLY BUT IM CRYING /VPOS

[cherry-dr0p]

Okay!! So!! For those who have been following my ramble blog, you'd know I got into TF2 as of recent

Even if I haven't played the actual game yet... Kinda nervous because Im not the best at those types of games but nonetheless!! I present to you...

TF2 Doodles 💥❤️

(As a new fan... Kinda)

Page 1 doodle page;

Started to draw this because I wanted to develop a style for drawing my top 3 fellas! But then I realised I haven't included Sniper much and I didn't wanna leave him out too much, therefore!

Doodle page 2;

This one didn't go as well as the first one >:(

The white pen I used on the plane kept malfunctioning (dont worry, didn't get it absolutely everywhere) in which it got on the drawing twice >:[ Was less than ideal but hey, look!!! Pretty colours! Focus on the pretty colours!!!

I also not fond of how I did his anatomy bit I erm uhh yeah. I tried XD

Though I do like the gun...usually not good at drawing guns but for this one, it looks nice :3

Medic doodle!!;

The black pen kept showing through the page... This is so sad guys /j

Anyways!! Got told to draw Medic (again) by my irl friends and who am I to deny drawing a silly doctor? We're just gonna ignore the fact I didnt go over it fully with pen >:]

Lil Pootis doodles :D;

Last but not least!! Probably my favourite of the bunch, Lil' Pootis!!! >:D

Dont get me wrong, I have not watched the series yet, but I saw these birds around Tumblr and if anything happened to them, I would be fuming >:C They are the sweetest... and my favourites ever... I love them...silly birds...

I will watch the series, though!! I swear! Im planning on it tomorrow if no other plans fade into existence from thin air.

So yeah! In conclusion, I probably need to practice drawing the fellas but I can do that! They are quite fun to draw anyways. I'll draw the rest of the mercs too, dw :3

Ive been lurking and the fandom (on Tumblr anyways) seems cool!! Was quite nervous to post this but I think its now or never or you only live once or something like that XP

[cherry-dr0p]

A lazy Kenji Noda doodle I did in class since I haven't posted him in a hot minute .3.

Extra Kenji photo upon ye'

[cherry-dr0p]

Hehehe be prepared for art dump soon!! >:3 !!

Finished my main 2 drawings I wanna post and I think I salvaged the one I messed up on the plane c:

I even managed to do a third one!

Gonna finish my last one and I might be able to post tomorrow c: (hopefully the one Im doing turns out nice ;u;)

(Hehe Im gonna dunk a whole load of drawings on my art account once Im happy >:D)

[cherry-dr0p]

Random OC (Andrew) doodles I forgot to post yesterday!!

(Ft. My friend's doodle and cats hehe)

Not putting a whole lotta effort into this post because Im gon be very busy today .3. (Andrew my beloved..)

[cherry-dr0p]

So. Was sitting tonight, and I kinda wanted to draw my top three fictional guys in one drawing. So! I present to you...

Rule of Three 🧪⭐️

Honestly, this is just a late night doodle I wanted to do :3 Although I do quite like how this turned out despite it being a silly doodle °3°

I spent far too long on this too so thats my excuse.

Initial sketch;

This silly meme thing;

What can I say? Knock wants plague, Hojo wants to test on folk with Mako, and Kenji wants none of that. What else is there to say?

And cats;

That's all! I've been thinking about doing a drawing with all 3 for a while now because they are the silliest!! Plus, it gave me an excuse to draw Hojo X3

[cherry-dr0p]

Wanted to make a small post today but...

It's my boy's birthday todayyyy!!!! >w<

[19th March]

Everybody wish him a happy birthday rn!!! I haven't properly introduced Markus but he still deserves recognition, I feel ^u^

Extra little doodle with him and Mazzul because they are the duo ever

Theyre celebrating together!!! Good fo them.

[cherry-dr0p]

Idea. Those 'Nice cat of the week/Naughty cat of the week" memes but with Nosfer-cat-u au

Nosfer-cat-u Naughty/Nice meme time !!

They're good cats, I swear :((((

Hehe, decided to do this little meme I thought was silly. I haven't doodled the lil' kitties in a hot minute so I thought this would give me the perfect excuse to do so!!

[cherry-dr0p]

WIP stuff because I recently got into TF2 (kinda, mainly the fandom side of things, still gotta actually play it :p), and I wanna develop a way of drawing them !!

VVVV

Gonna draw Sniper on the other page too :3

I wanna post them together because I personally feel like the lad doesn't deserve to be left out </3

( I HATE DRAWING HANDS!! >:O )

[cherry-dr0p]

Kenji in the sky 🌌💫

Wanted to draw Kenji yesterday because I wanted to test my new pens, and I came up with this silly idea :3

Im not sure if I like this one but Im gonna throw it here anyways to see what the Noda Nation thinks of this one. Im personally not a big fan of it but I promised Id draw something Kenji related ;w;

(It took me ages to find the right colours tbh T^T)

Couple of different angles just because;

Extra joke doodle;

Look how handsome he is :3 (Tell him he is right now)

{/j}

That's all for now! Sorry the drawing isn't the best today folks T^T

I still have to do the characters as cats thing with the Shinsei-Maru crew, so I'll do that at some point too :3

[cherry-dr0p]

Got my new pens last night so guess what? When I have gained the motivation, Shinsei-Maru cats upon ye' >:3

(This is what Im planning for PT2 of my favourite characters as cats thing anyways :3)

[cherry-dr0p]

Want some OC lore nobody asked for? I gotchu!!

Sam Blyth ~ More about their species, powers etc.

Introduction / General info ;

Sam Blyth is a Non-binary half angel (they go by They/Them). They are the youngest sibling in the Blyth family (Andrew Blyth being the oldest). Sam has always been known for being quite shy, struggling to communicate with most people and being overly emotional with crying over the most minor inconveniences. However, Sam has grown up to be "the angel of nature", with their willingness to help the nature around them, especially animals! Sam has a soft spot for animals, and always has had it. They can approach and take care of animals with ease, and believes all creatures should have a life and be protected, even the ones who have a tendency to be more harmful!

Sam has always lived in the "shade" as such, with their older brother Andrew taking up most of the spotlight most of the time with his charisma and general extroverted behaviour. However, Sam doesn't mind as much not being in the spotlight, as it allows them to do their own thing. Though it can spark some form of jealousy with Andrew always being the favourite, even having the chance to be famous as a human. Sam lives with their older sibling Andrew from when they were 6 years old, and always has done ever since Andrew and Sam's mother gave Sam to Andrew. They both have the same mother and different father.

Their main hobby is fashion design - making funky outfits and clothing items. They hope to make this their job one day, hopefully gaining traction over it. They usually dress in their own styles, like cottagecore, fairycore, ethereal, and more! Their favourite colour is pink, so they dress mostly in that colour! However, they also like to dress in lighter blues, purples, white, and perhaps even yellows (basically more muted/lighter colours)! They have an obsession with strawberries in general, so expect to see strawberry patterns on their clothing/accessories, strawberry themed decor, and more! Despite their love for all animals, cats are their favourite.

Sam's face under the hair at the side of their face ;

Sam is canonically half angel, half shadow creature. A shadow creature is a species I made up years ago - around age 12/13.

A shadow creature is a creature that has shadow-like skin and unique powers and/or other attributes that are special to them. They also mostly survive off of their souls being in gems (in which souls are a huge part of my OC lore), which can be located anywhere. They can have any amount of gems, but they mostly have 1-2 gems. Shadow creatures' existence are mostly frowned upon due to Discord being the king of them, so they are mostly believed to be evil. However, in contrary to popular belief, they aren't actually all that evil - not all of them anyways. In contrast to angels meaning to be good, or demons meaning to be bad, shadow creatures are meant to have a mixture, some good, some bad. They are mostly creatures who haven't been located in heaven or hell (purgatory if you will). (Discord used to be a shadow creature before turning into a demon)

The first photo is to showcase that Sam is actually half; with their genes being mixed up as their mother is an angel and father is a shadow creature. Technically they were only meant to take one and be fully angel or shadow creature - as thats how things usually work in my universe - but somehow, Sam managed to take both and become half and half! Their gems are located; two behind their tears (hidden) and one in the cape they wear in their full shadow creature form (which will be visible in a later photo) ◇

Phase 1 / 2 (minor phases) ;

These doodles look poorly drawn but you get the memo

Phase 1: Normal Sam. Their symptoms of being a shadow creature mostly are not visible (only beneath the hair that covers the side of their face). This is when they are in a positive/normal mood. However, being simply sad or angry does not provoke their symptoms to work up to phase 2. It has to be extreme emotions.

They dont have a tail during phase 1; only a halo, wings, and shadow creature like features under their hair that covers side of their face; so they mostly look like an angel and unless you peek under their hair (which Sam will hardly allow), they will look like your average angel.

Phase 2: the shadow creature symptoms are a lot more visible. These can include growing a feather like tail as shown above, shadowy skin spreading, seen experiencing stronger emotions like seething anger or distraught emotions for example, and usually seen to always have tears in their eyes (especially the shadowy side of their face).

Phase 3 (The final phase - uncontrollable) ;

Finally, last but not least...

Phase 3: The final phase. Now, Sam hardly ever reaches phase 3, once in their life I reckon. This is when Sam is at their strongest (strongest in my universe in that case). Their powers become out of control, and their shadowy skin takes over them fully, turning them into this "abomination". They grow out of control with their powers, having the ability to create large natural disasters (for example) unprovoked. Like I said however, theres no need to worry as theres only one instance where Sam has gotten so furious that this has happened. It's usually quite difficult to calm Sam down from this much emotion (it has to be extreme EXTREME emotion for Sam to get this far), but it is possible.

Their symptoms include;

☆ Shadowy skin taking over their whole body, turning them into this shadow-like abomination where their skin begins to melt.

☆ Their hair grows to a long length, usually braided.

☆ Turquoise horns grow (I know the horns above look more green but shhhh).

☆ They have a mini cape now. As well as the gems covered by their tears, they now have one attached to the middle of tje cape as shown.

☆ Their feathery tail grows longer than phase 2.

Extras ;

♡ Now, as already mentioned, Sam has their own weapon they can make appear for however long they wish (as all supernatural creatures like Sam can in my universe), in which Sam can make appear from as little as phase 1. Phase 3 gives a clue, but its a lavender bow - thats their weapon.

♡ Sam has been told by their big brother Andrew since they were younger that they were to keep their magic in check from a young age, so they weren't allowed to use their magic (mostly, it was more lighter ones that could easily be controlled that Sam could use) and they were shielded from the outside world from a young age, thus, they were homeschooled by Andy. This is where Sam realised they had the ability to communicate with animals, and when they learned that they were the angel of nature.

♡ Sam always defends and looks after animals, even animals like tarantulas, snakes, tigers, rats, all of them!! However, they also defend all sorts of creatures too, even the more frowned upon ones like demons.

♡ WILL cry if you yell at them. Please do not yell at them.

♡ They have tiny wings and a small halo to signify how important theyre viewed by the public(folk in my universe) in terms of the tale, in contract to Andrew having a huge halo and huge wings to signify his importance.

♡ They LOVE flowers (honestly, same)

♡ They are always the best dressed at the event. Like 99.5% of the time

♡ Completely unrelated, but the outfit in the first photo was an absolute NIGHTMARE to draw. Had to repeat "trust the process" to myself so many times before I actually continued.

Anyways!! Thats Sam for you!! In conclusion; Sam is best lil fella.

[cherry-dr0p]

Forgot how much fun drawing Sam was so I drew some doodles of them interacting with kitty Knock :3

(Gonna post the other bigger drawings later for Sam lore but have some smaller ones right now C: ..

Can you tell who one of my favourite OCs are yet? /j)

VVV

Sam can canonically communicate with animals (seeing as Sam is the angel of nature in my OC lore) so I had a thought... even though it might not be accurate, oh well

This is just a lil' low effort post for now :D

[cherry-dr0p]

Everytime I listen to "Ruthlessness" from Epic The Musical, it always reminds me of a scenario in Minus One where "Hey, what if Tachibana did NOT forgive/help Shikishima and continued to hold that grudge against him?"

Therefore, I am compelled to bring you...

My TED talk of why I think this song is basically the scenario of Tachibana if he never forgave Shikishima;

Disclaimer: I will not take from the musical itself, only the lyrics I see on screen

Blue ; Lyrics

Normal coloured text ; Analysis

Also HUGE Godzilla Minus One Spoilers and I am totally 100% sane making this

---

(I'm not counting the multiple "Poseidon"s at the start because you can't really analyse that </3)

" In all my years of living, it isn't very often that I get pissed off,

I try to chill with the waves, but damn you've crossed the line. "

The mention of the waves - I see as a direct reference to the fact that Shikishima is a minesweeper - sailing the waves on his boat. (This is assuming this is all being said to Shikishima after he becomes a minesweeper)

" I've been so gracious, but yet you hurt this son of mine "

Instead of the 'yet you hurt this son of mine' line making an accusation of hurting his son, I'd say Tachibana would instead make a direct reference to Shikishima letting his friends get injured(killed)

" That's right, the cyclops you made blind is mine. "

" No, "

[ N/A - Dont have analysis for these lines ]

" I'm left without a choice, and without a doubt

Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the sharks now

I gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown,

But before you go, I need to make you learn how "

Okay, so, for the first two lines, I took this as two meanings. My first idea is that the whole "sharks" mention is another little reference to Shikishima working on the ocean. But then, the pack of wolves swimming with the sharks could be a direct signal to the large group of corpses (Tachibana's allies) on Odo Island being washed into the sea after the Godzilla attack. And clearly the third line of harming Shikishima is Tachibana wanting to practically kill him due to him blaming Shikishima for his crew being gone.

" Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves "

First of all, such a banger line in general. Second, I think this would be Tachibana saying that you need to kill to be 'Ruthless' and execute certain actions sometimes to save those around you, which in a way saves ourselves because if he saved everyone around him, he wouldn't have to feel that guilt. He considers Shikishima to have had a choice when aiming at Godzilla, and Shikishima "actively" never took that choice. If he did kill Godzilla - In which perhaps the powerful guns could have in Tachibana's eyes - then he would have mercy on himself because he wouldn't live with the added guilt of being responsible for all those deaths caused by the lizard he "refused" to kill.

A Greek who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate!

" You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great.

'Cause you fight to save lives but won't kill and don't get the job done,

I mean, you probably could have avoided all this had you just killed my son,

But no "

Alright so, the first two lines I feel like this is Tachibana criticising Shikishima for taking the role that's known for saving their people and being heroic (hence the false righteousness) but failing to protect those on the island because he couldn't do "one simple thing" per se, and pull the trigger on the guns aiming at Godzilla. And of course the worst kind of good not being great ties into what I talked about him seemingly taking up this role and not being able to save those Tachibana cares about.

The third line sort of ties into what I've just explained about with Shikishima being a pilot in WW2 but failing to kill Godzilla, and the last part is pretty self explanatory, replacing the 'my son' part with him talking about his crew again.

This whole verse could perhaps refer to him being a Kamikaze pilot too and taking a dig at him surviving the war, even if it does kind of make Tachibana a hypocrite by then.

" You are far too nice, mercy has a price

It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now

You reveal your name, then you let him live

Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause "

I feel like the "you are far too nice" could perhaps be a hint of sarcasm, followed by mercy being mentioned, which solidifies the idea of Tachibana thinking it was Shikishima's choice not to kill Godzilla rather than the truth of his hands freezing up. I feel like he's too clouded by his frustration and anger of losing those he cared about to consider that Shikishima didn't choose this. Or maybe he's too filled with anger/hatred to care in this case. The more he thinks of such a thing, the angrier he gets, so he tends to push it out of his mind until this scene.

" And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die

Unless, of course, you apologize

For my son's pain and all his cries

Poseidon, we meant no harm

We only hurt him to disarm him

We took no pleasure in his pain

We only wanted to escape "

[ N/A - No analysis other than what I've already spoken about. Perhaps the part about him only wanting to escape but thats about it ]

" The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible

So close your heart, the world is dark and

Ruthlessness is mercy

Die. "

With the thought of Tachibana still thinking that Shikishima had a choice, the first line possibly could refer to it's niave to inflict mercy on ruthless creatures such as Godzilla, because it won't get him anywhere. The hope that Godzilla will take any mercy is naive. And of course, the second one is enforcing the first line, telling Shikishima that the world is a dark place that doesn't take kindly to mercy. I feel like in terms of the last line of "Die," Tachibana would actually want to kill Shikishima in that moment to avenge his friends. I mean, we see in that scene where he gives over the letter, and his anger surfaces how he attacks Shikishima. We also know how far people can go when placed in a stressful setting whilst filled with anger and hatred for a certain person who has wronged you as much.

What have you done?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

43 left under your command

When does man become a monster?

I am your darkest moment

The monster that always draws near

Any last words? "

Last but not least, the final verse I am going to analyse. (Yippee!!!)

Now I see a ripple becoming a tidal wave as Godzilla surviving Odo Island and then causing distruction another few times. One event which went wrong turned into a bunch of them occurring. Last but not least, I feel like for the 'when does a man become a monster?' Up to 'The monster that always draws near' instead of Tachibana saying these lines, it's Shikishima's survivor's guilt surfacing as he reflects on what he's done and how he believes he's handles everything. It makes him beg the question of does he even deserve to live at this point? Is he part of the problem and the true monster who has been a catalyst for these events, no matter how much he's tried to stop it - seeing as it follows HIM around?

Finally I feel like the final part is him getting ready to take his revenge.

For the last few lines thats left of the song, honestly doesnt fit in my humble opinion so I shall not include them :3

Extra;

Setting/Time: I think in my mind, this argument with Tachibana arguing with Shikishima during the scene when Shikishima finds Tachibana and Tachibana has seen the letters and is visibly furious about this. It would explain his anger filled explanation and his desire to just get rid of "the root of his problem". Plus he was intentions angering Shikishima in order for Shikishima to actually find him, which would fuel his rage even more!

A quite note that I am taking this from the perspective of Godzilla being a real, tangible creature. I know in the movie he's meant to represent survivor's guilt but I feel like this whole analysis above would make a tiny bit more sense if he really was a real creature. I dunno,

That's all for now! I'm just cramming my thoughts into this one post X3 They don't call it Cherrydrop rambles for nothing!! I've honestly had this concept in my head for a while now and as much as Id love to make this into an animatic, I dont have the time nor motivation for it. However, hope you've enjoyed reading through this chaotic post, and gold star if you did! :3
