there was an april fools strip with prince england and maid japan?! and what's the april-halloween au? btw your art is just sublime!!

(Very sorry for the late reply anon…! I was busy then got sick immediately after 😭)

Thank you so much! You’re too kind;;

And yes, there is one! It’s from Himaruya’s old キタユメ。webblog, and a lot of Asakiku fans continue to reference this strip to this day 🤣 ww

Here’s a tidbit from it:

(That’s not a joke, that’s really what it says— although that entire conversation happens in Arthur’s imagination. LOL)

Kiku ends up putting it on after all, by the way:

Lastly, April-Halloween AU is based on Himaruya’s joke tweet where he drew spooky designs for April Fools and greeted everyone Happy Halloween even though it was clearly April 1st. 🤣 You can see the tweet here!

AsaKiku fans (especially the JP ones) honed in on the bit that Arthur and Kiku were both ghosts/spirits that had mysterious letter-writing items with their sprite and it’s a known fact that a lot of their canon relationship during the alliance period revolved around exchanging letters… fans pretty much used this as a starting point and formed lore around it!

One I really enjoyed was a setting where Arthur is a ghost that collects lost letters from around the world and gives them to Kiku, a spirit who can ‘consume(?)’ the memories/emotions engraved into the letters and transcribes them into scrolls. They don’t have any memories from before they died but little by little they find traces of their old lives— This AU has a flavor of bittersweetness that I particularly like. 🥲💕

reminder that before the shed confession scene, mike had found himself deep in thought about will, and really thought to himself "man... I can't imagine life if I hadn't asked will to be my friend. making the decision in that moment to go talk to him was the best thing I've ever done"

he really did. the way having will in his life made him feel wasn't comparable to anything else in his life. will was his sun. the lighting in s4 blasts that idea in everyone's faces.

I have four physical books and 1 AO3 fanfic with like 30+ chapters in my to be read and a bunch of unfinished school work help me yall

[sadesluvr]

100 👀

100. Who’s your favourite fictional character?

OMG…I literally have no idea😭😭

If we’re going with recency bias, it’d probably be Michael/Monty, but overall I’d say it’s definitely William! I remember being in the fandom at the beginning when there was barely any content😭 and half of our shit was from DeviantArt and he was just called Purple Guy/Vincent (for some reason💀), and FNAF 3 was the first game I had the courage to play! I guess the old nasty murderer man ™️ just stuck with me😔

Outside of FNAF, I will say that I have phases/hyperfixations, so my faves will change often. I was a HUGE HUGE Marvel fan (up until Endgame) and Captain America was my favourite, with Iron Man being a close second. (Not very creative, I know) I liked Star Wars too, (casual interest) and Luke & Leia are my favourites (I literally binge rewatched the original series, prequels and new trilogy in quarantine, I starred the Clone series but gave up by then💀)

Overall I’d say Darwin from TAWOG is my *consistent* fave, but he’s also just a comfort character 🐟✨

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth

[goldensunset]

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...
