KARASU SAYS

[Image ID: an illustration of Karasu from Yu Yu Hakusho, glaring while two of his bat-winged-eye bombs fly near his shoulders. In place of his typical mask, he is wearing an N95-rated one. Along the top and bottom of the image, in allcaps, is the text: "wear a fucking mask; yes this is a threat."]

HI I'M TIRED

You don't know if a place you're going is gonna have someone high-risk there (because some disabilities are invisible), and folks can be contagious without showing symptoms, and long covid can absolutely fuck you up, SO PROTECT YOURSELF AND THOSE AROUND YOU ANY TIME YOU GO OUT WITH A WELL-FITTED MASK, PLEASE

Also please heckle the CDC/local politicians/etc. if you can, to get them to implement better protections because layering multiple methods is more effective than trying to rely on just one. (Yanno like scientifically appropriate isolation length instead of ONE FUCKING DAY, paid time off so folks don't have to weigh safety against finances, better filtration indoors, etc.)

If Kazuma Kuwabara has a million fans I am one of them. If Kazuma Kuwabara has ten fans I am one of them. If Kazuma Kuwabara has only one fan that is me. If Kazuma Kuwabara has no fans, that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against the Kazuma Kuwabara, I am against the world

Something something sensui watched chapter black and decided nothing was worth saving (except gay love) something something dante fma03 watched humanity for centuries and decided nothing could be saved

when yusuke gets into a fight with keiko and then goes to her parents’ restaurant and her dad is immediately like ‘KEIKO COME OUT HERE’ and yusuke’s like oh no please don’t bother her.... polite boy

I just finished rewatching yyh anime (I'd seen it in my childhood and forgotten most of it) and I'm SO SAD. I'm looking at your art for comfort. You've opened my jagan with kurameshi content 🥹🥹🥹

I'm glad you find comfort in my drawings as I find comfort in drawing them ❤️💚

[workbyrui]

happy holidays!☃️

Happy holidays everyone!☃️💜🎁

Just dropping by because of two things:

1. I've been getting notifs that my art was reblogged or liked recently. Wanted to say I appreciate that my stuff is still being spread around💜, even if I've mostly been absent from this platform and... despite me being so bad at replying to comments to reblogs.🥺

2. Because of movement on this blog, I felt like I owed folks some new art.😁

Been hardly drawing these past few months because I was busy with RL work and managing my health (I worked too much, made myself sick, got better, worked too much again, got sick again.... it was quite the cycle 😅). During rare downtime in my schedule, I ended up watching the Netflix adaptation of YYH. After watching it, I realised I missed YYH so, so much that I ended up rewatching the anime (nearing the end of season 3 now, whee! Of course I squealed and got the warm fuzzies when my ultimate YYH crush, Hagiri Kaname, finally made his appearance!😍🎲).

Anyhooey, back when this series first aired on local tv, they dubbed it, so I never really got the chance to appreciate the original VAs work on the characters. But now that I'm watching it subbed, I AM FINDING MYSELF SOOOOOOOOOOO DRAWN TO HIEI'S VOICE!🙉

Soooooooooooo, I drew him for practice.😅

Le sigh.

I drew this with the intention of adding snow falling effects + a YYH soundtrack clip playing but, for whatever reason tumblr won't let me post the video. If anyone wants to view this art the way I wanted it showcased, please check out the IG version (still 'workbyrui' there~😁).🙇‍♀️

That's it for now folks~ Thanks for reading this far!💜💜💜

Rules: Tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better

@akazaapologist Thank you so much for tagging me I am so sorry my brain just deleted the memory of it for a thousand years aljksdfas

3 ships:

lawlu/lulaw (one piece)

barto and cavendish (one piece)

luke and lorelai (gilmore girls, bestie and I are rewatching and I've got them heavy on the brain)

I ship a ton of things and like 80% of them are one piece ships rn so i've tried to behave lmfao

first ever ship: Oh, god, uhhhh....hhhhhh i'm old i've been in fandom too long. I think the first thing I remember shipping (in terms of like. understanding what shipping was in a fandom sense) was Vegeta and Bulma??? Or Yusuke and Keiko from YYH? I'm sure I liked characters together before that but I didn't have any understanding of the fandom context before then I don't think.

last song: Stacy's Mom lmfao

last movie: I think it was Cobweb? Which was fun, basically just someone gave a creepypasta a movie budget lmfao.

currently reading: I keep telling myself i'm actually reading House of Leaves, so we'll go with that.

currently watching: one piece, jjk s2 (although i'm mad and i'm probably dipping after Shibuya), gilmore girls

currently consuming: just finished a truly excellent cup of coffee

currently craving: Shanks One Piece, he's wrestled his way to the top of my conscious mind once again

[skrunksthatwunk]

went back to the sketchbooks around when i was going through yyh for the first time in 2019 and found a pile of near-yearly sticky note updates about my relationship with the series next to my first yyh doodles, a page full of kuwabaras. thought it'd be fun to share

+ more thoughts and old yyh art below

(it's crazy i didn't find any kurama-centric pages for months bc i think he's the one i doodled in the margins of class notes and stuff the most. his hair's pwetty and he gives me the least trouble outta any of the main 4)

something i noticed while skimming the two sketchbooks i took these from was how mean i was to myself at the time about my art. i guess it hit me more because i don't really spend hours going through my old sketchbooks over and over to track my progress and growth like i used to quite often. i guess it was only a little after when my self esteem was lowest (8th grade, tale as old as time), but... idk. i knew back then that i'd grown a lot in the few years since i started drawing more seriously (that's why i looked through my art so much), but like... i guess that never translated into being nice to myself about it. i ended up going back through about ten more sketchbooks to find more yyh art, and in the coming years i'm glad to say that negativity in the margins went away. hell yeah

but even so, my love for yyh was a constant and effusive thing, as it is now. it's probably the oldest of my current media interests. i watched myself get into rgg and develop my ocs and watched others fade in and out, watched my style loop back on itself and go all over the place, passed by pages of writing about crushes and album releases and gender discoveries and my grandparents dying, all surrounded by little drawings of the characters i love. including kuwabara in a maid dress right next to my dead grandma grief rambling that one time (no i'm not kidding. my grandma died in like late 2020 and the page where i poured my heart out after finding out she was gone just trying to process everything had one with catboy maid dress kuwabara directly opposite it, who i'd drawn like the evening before she died in her sleep. he killed my grandma from like 100 miles away he was that powerful. that wasn't even the last time i drew him like that and i don't even care about catboys or maid dresses much. i think it was just a bigger meme and he was the guy i most associated with cats. i put that man in a situation and he fucking got her because the book couldn't contain him. some victor frankenstein shit. anyway)

i took about 150 pictures, most with multiple sketches. i decided not to add any more though bc 1) i posted some of them on old accounts but i don't remember which ones, and tbh i value my anonymity a little too much 2) All Of The Pictures Turned Out Bad in ways i don't feel like getting into but just trust me it's like 6 layers of fucked up illegible image bullshit 3) i found it hard to narrow it down to things i felt were indicative of the development or interesting or anything like that. idk. i figured it was an interesting exercise for me and it probably wouldn't really mean anything to anyone else. and that's ok :) it was nice anyway. i mostly mention it to be like Oh My God i've drawn these guys a lot and i STILL don't know what i'm doing... :| it's fun

however i did transcribe the notes i left:

7/9/19: yo it's been less than a week & i'm on ep. 80 wtf i love this show

8/14/20: 1/2way thru my 3rd watch (first dub, first [with older sibling]) & honestly still love it & kuwabara being the first one i drew makes me happy

7/28/21: i'm watching it w/ [younger sibling] now! 4th(ish) watch, 2nd time through the dub, which is so much better than the sub really elevates the text. we're at the semifinals of the DT, which means this is technically my 5th time through yyh up until that point but eh semantics anyway i still love & obsess over yyh! <3

1/14/24 (present day): hey, i'm rewatching yyh for the.. idk 5th or 6th time. still love it & never stopped. now i'm writing fic & drawing & posting about it. i have friends i talk to about it. [both siblings] have seen it. so much has changed, and so little, but it made me sad seeing how much i insulted my own art. i love you 2019 me. god knows you needed it

[+ this drawing]:

anyway. forever fornever. if you even care

[yetanotherknitter]

I'm rewatching yyh and had the sudden horrid realization that I'm?? older???? than yuusuke's mom???????? like, atsuko is super young but yuusuke's been the Cool Older Kid since I first watched yyh on cartoon network when I was 10ish and now I'm older than his mom???

[kamijimoe]

Netflix just added the yyh anime so I'm rewatching to rid my memory of the affront to humanity that was the la

[authoraemoseley]

9 people u want to know better

I was tagged by @digital-chance (yay! thank you!)

current book you’re reading: I'm reading/re-reading like 3 books at once (as usual) so! Fourth Wing (Yarros), The Martian (Weir), Insomnia (King) and I will probably start another one soon just 'cause I can XD

last song you listened to: Get him back! (Olivia Rodrigo is omz, I have no words for her, I'm constantly listening to her stuff)

currently watching: I'm sick with a stomach bug so I'm watching Yu Yu Hakusho (YYH). 100% seen the first like 2.5 seasons before, but the rewatch is nice and I plan on finishing the series this time XD

current fic you’re reading: Uhhhh, I don't actually really read much fan fiction but I am freaking obsessed with "We May Never Achieve Lasting Peace" which is a Transformers AU thing by SukioKitten. omz my friends are so talented. This fic legit made me get into Transformers hardcore. You gotta read it then come scream at me about it <3

next on my watch list: Outlaw Star (it's been a while since I've watched that one),

current obsession: YYH and HoM which I'm currently writing for NaNoWriMo

I would tag 9 people, but I think the open to tagging people have already been tagged for this by this point. T_T

[fondantythoughts]

Thanks @tentoriumcerebelli for the tag from forever ago.

I am actually super fearful of interacting on this site--the fear of being known or saying the wrong thing. I've been a passive user for many, many years afraid to do much else.

It's time I got braver, so, let's start small!

1. 3 ships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens), Jessi/James (Pokemon), Kurama/Hiei (Yu Yu Hakusho)

2. first ever ship: Joey/Seto (YGO was my first fandom I wrote for, but I never actually wrote any stories about them-- just read a lot!)

3. last song: The Ocean, Against Me!

4. last movie: Fellowship of the Ring (I've done a rewatch of all the extended commentaries, so now I'm rewatching the extended movies without any commentaries)

5. currently reading: Been around Good Omens fanfiction lately with a stopover in YYH.

6. currently watching: Rewatching old Great British Baking Show when Mel and Sue were hosts.

7. currently consuming: Anything that I can vaguely taste (Wildberry poptarts, orange juice, etc.)

8. currently craving: Taste. I got COVID after years of avoiding it and lost my taste. I'm crushed about this because I love to cook, and usually I make some of my favorite recipes around this time of year.
