DCRC Week #8 (Part 1)

ODIN WEEK! ODIN WEEK! ODIN WEEK!!! It's PKNA #5: Portrait of the Hero as a Young Duck btw. Please enjoy my epic edit- I mean real panel I mean totally real screenshotted and unedited comic panel.

Also, I try to put spoilers for the comics I'm reading about as they happen in the story, but this time I couldn't help myself so beware of reading this if you haven't read the whole chapter yet.

I already have this panel saved in my folder, it's so iconic in my head. He wanna be Batman sooooo bad.

Gotta love these military guys opening fire like their lives depend on it and PK is just behind them making silly little jokes like :D

Wow this guy seems interesting I wonder what his opinions on AI art are

Gorgeous panel and some gorgeous one-point perspective here. Sorry for being an art student but we made a lot of drawings like this and it made me learn that drawing buildings makes me want to die. So this is even more impressive to me in that regard.

Lowkey cute asf for Odin to just put a whimsical little garden in place of where Ducklair tower used to be

Donald is so SAD it breaka my heart 💔 RIP Uno who is totally super dead 💔💔💔

Donald is SO SMALL. Shoutout to the PKNA writers for pushing the entire main Duckverse cast to the side so that they could create an all-new roster of characters that all fucking TOWER over Donald in height. Lyla, Angus, Xadhoom, Styvesant, soon to be Odin in like a few pages. If you need to know anything it's that Paperinik is a little SHRIMP and he is so tiny and small and the most specialest boy ever.

haha..... yeah..................

DEFEND UNO'S LEGACY DONALD!!!!! Also Lyla... okay and I guess Geena cause she's the ACTUAL robot he's defending-

This is the part where I look at the camera like it's an episode of The Office btw. If you know you know.

babygirl

OOOOH SHIT IT'S YA BOI!!! I forgot about him trying to meet Donald by just slamming his ship into theirs. Like I GUESS that's a surefire method to speak to someone...

Cheeky son of a-

GEENA YOU FUCKING NARC

Snitches get stitches Geena... (imagine a little text pops up on screen like in a video game and says "Geena will remember that")

Hmmmm where have I seen this shot before.... *flashback to issue #0.1 which I put a filter over to make sure you know it's a flashback to an earlier chapter*

oh right.

Crying over this shot they BOTH wanna be Batman man 😭 two dumdums that were made for each other

He's so cheeky I hate him (affectionate)

So obviously they bring up that Odin just means "One" (or Uno) but it's also worth pointing out what an Eidolon is. Eidolon is a Greek term, meaning "a spirit-image of a living or dead person; a shade or phantom look-alike of the human form" (at least according to Wikipedia).

"ODIN EIDOLON" LITERALLY TRANSLATES TO "UNO'S GHOST" I FUCKING HATE HIM. I'M SMASHING HIM WITH HAMMERS. AFFECTIONATELY.

Anyways to wrap up with some final thoughts-

Something that doesn't really get addressed in this comic (probably for plot reasons, it's not super relevant) is just how comforting it must be for Donald to travel to the future and see that the Evronian Empire is all but wiped out, a shell of its former self. Obviously timelines can still change, we saw that in Day of the Cold Sun, but it still must be nice to see that all the fighting he does is going to pay off in a big way.

Btw remember that bit in an earlier chapter about Uno finding Lyla attractive? Yeah well I should think so considering that YOU'RE THE ONE THAT BUILT HER- Okay well he's not the DESIGNER but still I think that connection is funny ok. I wonder if Uno scanned Odin's gun and was like "oh"

I like this comic, I think it's another really good one. I mean it's no Earthquake but still, between Day of the Cold Sun, Earthquake, and then this volume I feel like we've just had banger after banger after banger. I'm also super stoked to have Odin in the story now, even if thinking about Uno way outliving Donald and being excited to see him again after 200 years makes me really depressed if I think about it too hard. I'm happy that he got to escape the confines of Ducklair tower and even got a cunty green suit in the process though, good for him. Donald is REALLY gonna regret not accepting that explanation from Uno though, RIP 🙏 SUUURELY he'll figure it out one of these days guys. Like EVENTUALLY. Right???

NUH UH MR./MS./MX.SHARK, YOU GON TAKE THAT BREAK IF YOU NEED IT AND IF PEOPLE LEAVE, WHATEVER SCREW THEM THEYRE MISSING OUT ON A DAMN GOOD WEBTOON! IF YOU NEED TIME, TAKE THAT TIME!

That was probably a little too aggressive sorry-

But what I'm saying is that you need to take breaks, I get burnt out working on small little procreate drawings so I definitely understand how you'd get burnt out making CoB (my now fave webtoon on the platform) I'm also a silent reader so I don't comment and I try to like all the episodes. But still, your mental and physical health should come before your comic, if anything take like a 2 month break, I'd sure as hell wait and most of the other anons would too! Your doing amazing and your comic is great, I just wish I could help you out on patreon but I can't due to underage.

i appreciate the gesture!! unfortunately it's just not that easy... 😭

like trust me, if there were no consequences to breaks, i'd definitely take more and longer ones! but unfortunately there are Very Much Consequences. I only get paid per episode I turn in, so 2 months of not turning episodes is 2 months of no income. But honestly, that's not even my real problem. I have enough saved up to survive a month or two of no real income. The real issue is reader retention.

I know every time talks of breaks come up, creators get tons of encouraging messages promising that they'll stick around or that their "true fans" won't drop it, but unfortunately, the people that applies to is only really a very small percent of our readership. :( The sad fact is, every time we take a break more than like...a week, it does a huge hit to our numbers and performance, and that directly correlates to our income, eligibility for raises, and sometimes even renewing our contracts.

So while I assure you every creator, including myself, couldn't be more grateful for readers like you who stick around no matter how long the break is, the sad fact is, 90% of our audience are very casual, not even seeing posts like this, and very likely to just forget or drop our comics during an extended break. We know you loyal readers will stick around and we love you for that, but unfortunately, we really rely heavily on that much more casual majority that is way less avid.

[queer-overwatch]

hihi! loveee this blog god bless both of you i'm tweaking waiting for venture to come out 😭😭 might be a bit odd but if it's something either of you feel comfortable writing about, could i request them with an audhd masc reader who's really struggling with executive dysfunction? like they're struggling to do anything and feeling really down and ashamed about it (⁠me rn T~T) thanks!!

Venture w/ Audhd!Reader!

It's not odd at all! We both get the same way fjsofndk, have some hurt/comfort for ya <3 -Frisk & Xorn

(Good lord we need more Venture gifs-)

This was stupid, you were stupid, having a job was stupid- everything was stupid!

It's so easy, all you have to do is just get up, grab a pencil, and write a few words! It's quite literally the easiest assignment you've ever gotten from the Wayfinders! Ever!

Yet for some stupid, unknown reason you just- couldn't. No matter how much you yelled at yourself or cried, feeling useless, you couldn't get up. It was pathetic, sad, pitiful, everything you didn't want to be and yet, were.

You were sure your partner would be able to do this, anyone would be able to do this, so why couldn't you!? Groaning, you desperately wish to push yourself up and out of bed, yet make no movement to do so.

Stuck in your own head, you don't notice Venture knocking on your door, or stepping into your room after a few minutes of waiting. You only acknowledge them after they scare the shit out of you by grabbing your shoulder.

"What the fuck-!" You're finally able to move, even if it wasn't thanks to the best circumstances-

"Sorry! Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" They laugh slightly, cheeks a bit darker than usual as they bend their knees slightly so they're eye level with you as you sit up in bed.

They slowly look you over, drawing their own conclusions as to how you're feeling and gently pushing you so you're on one side of the bed before grabbing something from the desk on the other side of your room and snuggling up next to you.

"So I'm gonna take just a wild, crazy guess here and say you haven't done any work today?" They hold out what they'd grabbed, apparently it was your assignment from the Wayfinders. Just seeing the paper sucks any energy you had left out of you as you groan.

They laugh pitifully at your misery, patting you on the back and setting the paper down on your lap. "I'll be honest, I haven't gotten a whole lot done today either. I'm a bit of a slacker myself from time to time!"

Venture throws an arm around your shoulders pulling you into their side softly as they nuzzle your cheek teasingly. "Buuut I've still gotten more done than you, so I'm on a winning streak technically! Though I guess I could be the best partner ever, which I already am, and help you out a bit."

Of course they'd turn it into a challenge, if there was one thing Venture adored, it was winning something. You could imagine their smug look already, as adorable as it was, you simply couldn't hand it to them that easily. Plus..the paper was already there, maybe you could just do a little, just so you would have it out of the way faster.

As you take the assignment from Ventures lap, you slowly start to write a few words, finally getting something done as Venture talks your ear off about how awesome they were.

About halfway through, it hits you that this was their attempt at helping, at getting you motivated. It was always easier to do things when they were around, and they knew it.

They still ended up with a stupid, adorable, smug smile on their face at the end of the day.

Hiii here are some headcannons to add on <3 -Xor

First of all it just sucks , wanting to do things but not being able to will yourself to do them is actually just awful.

Venture makes it a point just to generally check in on you and make sure you're feeling okay overall.

They then immediately delve into "how can I help you?" Asking you what you want or need to do but just can't seem to.

If it's something personal then they'll leave it to you unless you want their help. However if it's not then they ask you how you would perform the task and try to help you out with it.

The whole time they're really understanding and encourage you, not to do things but so you don't feel horrible about not doing them.

They try to find ways to interweave things you really enjoy doing along with said tasks , trying to help the tasks seem bearable in a way.

And if you simply can't, then it's a good time to relax and work out a half plan, for anything that needs to be done and try to do it layer.

They aren't going to push you to do anything just gentle yet loud encouragement and a couple nudges in the right direction.

This isn't a request or anything just some thought sharing but I-

I'm kinda obsessed with the thought of Sole going to the glowing sea all alone. They couldn't possibly ask anyone else to come there with them, not when they know the risks. So they go alone. One night they and their companion go to sleep only for the companion to wake up alone with a note (or a holotape) next to them explaining where Sole had went, what they planned to do.

Sole knows it's near suicide to go there, alone or not, they won't let anyone but themselves to take that risk

The synths and robots aren't immune to deathclaws, the rest are at risk of radiation poisoning and deathclaws, and frankly they don't want to risk Hancock going feral just because they dragged him in there, so they go alone

Maybe the companions go after them only for them to get to the edge of the sea just as Sole is coming back

DONT MAKE MY CRY. 😭😭

No, I absolutely agree with this idea. I’ll add that sole knows they have been exposed to the least amount of radiation. They have the best chance of walking out alive.

Now, the question is, does sole wear power armor? I’m gonna go with they do…cause it’s suicide in game if you don’t, lol.

Anyways…(idc if it’s not a request you’re getting your damn reaction lol)

Not including cods or strong or any of those guys bc this is more of a romance prompt sooo.

X6 also isnt included because he wouldn’t have met sole yet…so…

• Cait

Waking up…feeling that emptiness beside her that she was so used to…sole’s absence didn’t even alert her at first. She was so used to being alone.

Now, frantically, she searched around their shred room in sanctuary, before finding a holotape hidden between some detective cases on sole’s personal desk.

When she heard…in sole’s own voice say not to follow them…and that they love her…her breathing became shallow and fast.

Screw what sole says, they aren’t leaving her behind.

(Basically running like the flint Lockwood meme) she makes it to the edge of the Glowing Sea. She forgot most of her gear and was basically just clutching a few bags of radaway

Looking beyond the mess of fog and broken trees, she sees a massive form…

…more specifically the shape of power armor.

“Sole! You bastard!”

She’s crying as sole steps out of the power armor…collapsing onto the ground…coughing up blood and gasping for air.

She gladly tosses Sole all of her Radaway…basically pouring it down their throat.

When sole wakes up…against a tree nearby..Cait is punching their arm…asking them why…why they would leave alone…that there could have been another way.

Sole knows the truth though, it had to be them.

• Curie

In her new body…she was so used to sleeping next to sole…feeling their warmth…now gone suddenly.

She jolts awake, quickly feeling herself go cold…even colder when she saw the private note written to her.

She figured as much, she calculated it. They were gone…most likely out there…suffering or even…dead.

Quickly, she gathered a supply of stimpacks and radaway from their shared home and took off towards the Glowing Sea.

…seeing them…at the edge of the sea…collapsed next to a suit of power armor…she thought it might have been too late.

She wasn’t strong enough to draw them away by herself so she utilized the power armor

Once out of the danger zone, she began stimming them and inserting the Radaway into their veins.

Hearing them cough and moan in pain nearly broke her heart. She payed on top of them in exhaustion, having rested for the first time since she set out for them.

Sole will drag their arm over her form…thinking about all the pain they just put her through and having to remember that there was no other way.

…the only other way would’ve meant losing her.

And they just couldn’t risk that.

• Danse

Danse is a military man. Waking up alone had never bothered him before.

He didn’t wake up immediately. When he did awake, he didn’t even put together that sole had went to the Glowing Sea

But that damn holotape…

He wasn’t sad…he was angry…he could’ve grabbed a suit and followed him

He’s a damn synth he should be able to handle more radiation. He should…he…

“SHIT”

Danse grabs a supply bag for himself and for sole before leaving their homestead.

The trek was long…but Danse prayed it wouldn’t be too long.

Reaching the edge of the glowing sea…he saw them. Their damn near lifeless form nearby a suit of tattered power armor

A deathclaw had gotten to it

“God no…no no no…sole…”

He easily carried them out of the irradiated area and into an abandoned home…laying them on a bed full of dried blood.

He felt them breathing and instantly got hit with adrenaline…he quickly gave them Stimpacks and Radaway. Then, he just sat nearby in silence and prayed silently to whatever deity would listen.

When they awoke..he’d be right there…his eyelids heavy but soles safety was much more important.

He’d never watch them die…never…not like this…

…he knew it would always be him first.

• Deacon

Being alone for so long…he wondered why he woke up so fast…noticing the warmth next to him gone.

“Christ, no”

He already knew though. He already knew…even without the handwritten note next to his pillow…

He couldn’t even bring himself to read it. He was so…upset? He basically threw it away.

He didn’t even try to make sense of his emotions as he gathered a heap of railroad supplies to track them down with.

His mind was racing with thoughts he couldn’t make sense of the whole trip…they couldn’t just leave him like this…even if it WAS because they cared.

Coming to the edge of the sea…he spotted them.

They were covered in blood…power armor long abandoned.

He wasn’t a hugger, but literally forced them into his arms…not even caring about how heavily irradiated they were.

Pulling them against him and out of the Glowing Sea, he applied what he brought with him…bringing them out of their pain and suffering.

“Don’t ever do that again…I…Dez…someone could have helped you…don’t leave me behind here.”

Sole had to go though…they knew they had the best chance…and they could risk loosing the only man in this whole damn wasteland with hope.

The only man…who they loved.

• Gage

“Shit…”

He already knew when he woke up.

He knew sole was a damn hard head and this just proved it…

“Leaving alone to protect some damn raider?” He said aloud as he read sole’s note to him.

He was pissed that sole would not take him with them…he could have protected them…

It’s not even worth it to go out there alone…there has to be another way…there just had to be…

He’d gather up a few supplies before storming off…prepared to give sole a earful

However…when he found them…laying in the dirt face down…his expression shifted.

“Shit…hey, boss?”

He’d soon try to focus on their faint breathing before hurriedly giving them Stimpacks and Radaway to ease their pain.

He then prop them up and take them in a tight grip

“Sole, you idiot…let me go with you…I’m just a raider…I’m expendable…your not”

Sole would shush him before trying to convince him that it had to be them…

But sole knew Gage would never believe them…because sole knew that gage really cared…

…maybe he was the only one that did.

• Hancock

Hancock’s late-night jet trip kept him asleep well after sole left.

Waking up, he didn’t register the fact they had gone. When it did though..he felt more hurt than when he started becoming a ghoul.

The holotape only made things worse.

Gathering up what little supplies they kept within their home, he took as much as he could carry and began the not-too-far hike to the Glowing Sea.

They were collapsed against a tree…breathing shallow enough they could have been mistaken as dead.

Luckily they were already out of the high amounts of radiation.

He gave them much needed care, as much as a man like him could figure out how to do without needing an actual doctor.

“Don’t you dare do that to me again, sunshine. Now I’ve gotta haul your ass to a doctor”

Truthfully, he understood why they left without him…he could go feral.

But that doesn’t mean they should have gone alone.

Sole had never been happier to see him, but they felt that familiar pang of guilt. They knew they had to be the one…so why…why did seeing hancock’s expression hurt them so much?

After a while of Hancock just holding them close, he looked up at them:

“Your the only damn thing I care about…don’t go taking off on me now”

There was that smile…that damned smile

And soon, all their pain felt small again.

• Maccready

Maccready was a very, very light sleeper. Duncan being young and his past trauma made sure of that.

It’s a wonder he didn’t catch sole climbing out of bed before they left…but seeing as how well they knew him…they also knew how to stay quiet.

He played that damn holotape on loop and could believe anything that he was hearing.

“S-sole?”

He felt…hurt and..betrayed? He didn’t know.

He was always open with how he was willing to walk to the ends of the earth with sole.

But…he knew in his heart that they were more well equipped…

“Don’t think like that!”

Shaking off the fact that they may have been right to go alone, he gathered supplies and began his own way to the glowing sea…and being a traveler himself…made it in record time.

…oh god…

They were covered in blood and laying at the edge of the Sea.

He didn’t know a damn thing about wound-tending…and he all he could think about was how they were gonna die…how it was gonna be Lucy all over again and then he’d be alone…

His mind found his hands already getting to work on half-assedly patching the love of his life up. Hitting them with Stimpacks and Radaway as needed.

His eyes would lock with theirs:

“Don’t do this to me, beautiful…don’t you dare…I..”

Sole would shush him and draw him into a hug. Holding him tight and near sobbing into his shoulder.

“Never again…never..don’t do that, sole”

But sole would do it., again and again, if it meant keeping Mac out of danger.

• Nick

They had stayed over at the agency, Nick had awoken in the middle of the night, per usual as he really didn’t sleep…only to find them gone.

The handwritten note…

Oh boy…just them he knew what happened

“Trying to protect an old bot like me, huh?”

It’s not like he could very well be upset, he’d have done it for them…he was…going to do it for them.

Deathclaws ran wild out in the Glowing Sea…and he knew sole was just trying to protect them as they had the only set of power armor.

However, Nick was worried, very worried. So, he gathered up supplies from Ellie and took of to the Glowing Sea.

When he made it to the edge of the green-hazed air, he saw sole limping back through the thick fog.

“Sole! Over here!” Nick called, praying they would hear.

They did hear.

Nick then would catch them in his arms…not minding the blood from their clawed leg on his coat.

He gently applied a Stimpack followed by his Radaway supply.

“Don’t you go getting yourself killed. I’ve been out here a lot longer, I would have gone instead of you.”

Sole just nods into his shoulder, smiling.

Nick meant it too, he’d do anything for sole.

• Piper

Piper was used to sleeping with one eye open. This was because of Nat. If something ever happened to her…Piper would be listening.

So it’s no surprise that she felt sole’s absence in their shared bed.

“Blue…?”

She’d call sole’s name to no response and would quickly become frantic.

“Blue…where are ya blue?”

Again…no response. That’s when she’d find the holotape and play it.

“No…”

Without thinking she’d grab the supplies she had available and would make her way to the Glowing Sea…hoping she would make it in time.

Upon reaching the edge of the green hellhole, she’d see sole, decked out in the remaining pieces of power armor.

Sole would basically fall out of the suit upon seeing the familiar red trench coat. However, the were to weak to stand and embrace her.

Piper would do the rest. Giving sole need medical care and telling them that they were safe.

“Don’t do that to me…please…you and Nat are all that I have left”

Sole knew it wouldn’t be the last time they pulled something stupid…after all, they had a son to find and someone to protect.

• Preston

Preston wakes up at the crack of dawn pretty much so he quickly would realize sole’s absence… and immediately knew why they were gone.

Preston is a very emotionally open man with sole and sole alone. So he actively discussed the trip to the glowing sea with sole the night before.

This was all to sole brushing off the question with “we can talk about it later”

He knew that they didn’t want him to worry about him…but he did worry…in fact he was rather upset that they had up and left…leaving only a note behind explaining what they planned on doing.

He’d silently curse, leaving sanctuary with all the supplies he could muster as he headed out into a cold, early morning

Along the trip, he began to think about his emotions…he was upset and worried, yes, but…

Anyone else would have made him go…the settlers would have…but sole…

They cared.

Upon reaching the wide open area before the Glowing Sea…he saw sole tending to their broken power armor

They would greet him…before coughing and nearly collapsing.

To that, Preston would apply Stimpacks and Radaway.

“Sole…babe…I know you want to keep me safe and I’m so..very grateful for that…for you…but please, next time, wake me at least?”

Sole agreed to his surprising light terms with tears in their eyes.

Preston knew sole, they weren’t gonna stop caring. They needed to do everything they could to find their son…he just hoped next time the would communicate better.

[play-rough]

No but anon is onto something there. It'd be funny (not the word I wanna use but I couldn't think of a better one) if Dazai thought Chuuya was gonna hurt him or something and almost started crying. But after Chuuya starts tickling him those sad tears that started turned into happy tears.

(I know I said I hate to make the baby upset but I am a liar and a lover of angst 😔)

Also I'm in the middle of baking a cake and I thought of Chuuya making a sweet treat for Dazai to save for later for when he's little or even them frosting and decorating cupcakes together and that just sounds so cute. Dazai with his clumsy hands trying to put sprinkles or frosting on and getting all grumpy because it isn't going where he wants it to and Chuuya silently chuckling right beside him. (He tried to help but Dazai wouldn't let him.)

And when they're finally done (Dazai gave up out of frustration.) Chuuya tells Dazai he made the cupcakes look beautiful and they both eat them together while watching a movie together

(This made me think of Chuuya getting them matching aprons or something with sea animals on them to avoid a big mess. I need you to know you've ruined my life because I can't get them out of my head 😭)

PLEASE i love dazai getting grumpy or frustrated when he cant do something bc he’s too little he’s so precious when he’s fussy.

Ive been wanting to do some kind of skk baking thing for a while, ive been rolling it around in ye ole brain, i had a lot of fun decorating cookies growing up and i think chuuya could honestly pitch the idea to big dazai (I feel like he would enjoy silly meticulous tasks like lining up sprinkles side by side on cookies, something repetitive to get lost in) and then he regresses as he’s decorating, just relaxing and enjoying the nice cookie smells. Chuuya does little things like rolls up Dazai’s sleeves for him and all of the sudden BOOM he’s tiny and the decorating gets clumsier and more chaotic and you can almost S E E him spiral down into headspace as he plays with the sprinkles and chuuya wants to take pictures but he’s gotta be sneaky with it bc he’s worried if he draws attention to Dazai’s slow ease into headspace he’ll feel insecure and snap out of it

This goes on until Dazai’s gotten small enough to just mostly be making a mess and he’s getting fussy and overtired, the baby doesnt want to do anything except be held. So Chuuya knows it’s nap time, and Dazai is all sticky, so they take a bubble bath first and then chuuya zips dazai up into kitty pajamas and puts him down for a nap in the living room while chuuya cleans up in the kitchen, and when Dazai wakes up they can eat the cookies as a snack and have hot cocoa and watch a movie or something

they’ve ruined my life too don’t worry 🥹

[dxwnfxll]

HIII it me again(I’ve been really hyper fixated on saints row and them being dads😭)I was wondering if you could do a platonic relationship with Troy Shogo Maero Johnny with a child!reader that’s like a totally a daddy’s girl just looks up to them so much and and follow them everywhere and how would they feel about it 🥹🫶(you don’t have to get it done right way take your time and take care of you self❤️❤️and get more sleep!!)

Omgg super sorry I never got to this but yeah!!

These will all probably be that child!reader is related to them just fyi!

••Saints row dad's••

Troy

It had always been just you and your dad since you could remember, he was a police officer and as you heard many of his colleagues say 'a damn good one'

You always looked up to him wanting to walk in his very footsteps, but..

Troy wasn't so keen on that idea, the cop had seen how evil Stillwater could be. He'd watch many of his own men die and even criminals he had gotten attached to.

He put his foot down a lot on you being a cop but you always persisted, he couldn't get mad at you wanting to be like him though.

You were his little girl always right at his hip and making a fuss when you couldn't be there.

He'd always read you to bed and ruffle your hair, he enjoyed taking you to school before he had to go back to the Saints.

He framed your drawings, let you do makeup on him and he cried once he finally saw you grew up

Once he sat in a crowd watching as you graduated police academy, even though you wore the uniform you always still looked like the little girl with messy pigtails and skinned knees to him.

He'll always be proud of you

Shogo

You were conceived from one of his ex's, the only reason at the time he kept you was because of his father.

'Take some responsibility!' His father would yell while he bounced you, at that moment he thought he'd hate this and hate you eventually

But one day he saw you take your first steps towards him and he was so..proud.

Ever since then you were a spoiled princess, anything you wanted you got!

He has his own parental issues and tries his hardest to not be like his own father but sometimes it happens

Even then though you still love him and still looked up to him with those big [e/c] eyes of yours

He'd always be doing 'work' while you sat in the same room either playing with blocks or your other various toys

He couldn't ever go anywhere without you, not cause he couldn't stand it but because you'd attach yourself to his leg and beg to come with

You never did find out where he went

Maero

You were such a small thing compared to him, this tough ass dude was scared to hold you for the first time.

He had you with a ex he's still friends with, the two of them sharing custody. But you always seemed to like him more

Your first word was 'dada', your first steps were at his place and you always bugged him whenever you could

He was extremely protective of you, if someone even made you cry that person would never be seen again (unless you count the news)

He wasn't the best dad though, he did a lot of messed up shit and he didn't even try to hide it from you.

Always stating it was some 'family business' type thing, that one day you'd be just like him

Also y'know that meme with Peter holding a shot gun going 'i'm just gonna talk to him' yeah that's him if you ever even get a crush on another person

Yeah he's one of those dads def sorry LOL

He's almost always carrying you around too and if anyone looks at him funny he sends a nasty glare

He cares a lot about you, you were the last thought in his head after he died

Johnny

Johnny is honestly probably the second best dad in the list (not including extra), he did his research before you came in the world

Obviously you're his and Aishas lil girl, and Aisha almost had to get up and fight him to finally hold you. He just didn't wanna let you go

It was sad that he got locked up soon after your third birthday, but he always wrote you letters and coloring pages he colored sometimes drawings

Once he got out you were the first person he hugged, you were playing in the yard when he pulled up

He calls you various nicknames Tater tot, Baby doll, trouble maker, thing one, and cheeseball

He takes you with him (much to Aisha's disapproval), don't worry though he only takes you on safe jobs

You'll be in your car seat as the boss jumps in 'hey johnny the fu-' instant head smack 'hey there's a damn kid in the back seat'

He's got the spirit at least

You follow him around everywhere even once you get older and your dad is famous

And of course Johnny would burn the world to protect you especially after what happened to Aisha

Extra

Carlos

Of course once Carlos joined the Saints you also technically joined

He'd call you 'lil Duck' because you'd always be following him around like one

He'd mess your hair up or put his beenie on you, and laugh as the beenie was too big and would fall over your eyes

He was a great dad, he tried his best to shield you away from all the bad stuff but he was a single father and there was little he could do

He'd be one of those dads that would let you sleep in his bed if you had a nightmare

And he'd always hold your hand whenever y'all were in public

Of course you looked up to your dad while having little knowledge in what he actually did

You still wear his beenie even as an adult

Donnie

Donnie was a scared for life dad, instant panic as soon as you were placed in his arms

He thought he'd be an awful dad and that you'd hate him but the complete opposite happened

Sure he made a few mistakes here and there but you never hated him, you always followed him around and stayed in his shop when you weren't at school

Hell you even tried to go against the damn boss of the saints themselves after they busted into his mechanic shop and started wailing on the poor guy

To which Donnie immediately spilled everything fearing they'd hurt you (they wouldn't)

You'd always beg him to play princess with you or to do his makeup

He isn't that terrifying or strong as Johnny or Maero but he'd do everything in his power to protect you

You're his only hope in life at the moment < 3

Sorry if these seemed rushed or not what you requested i'll be happy to redo them and i'll try to get any other requests done

Hope you enjoyed!

Heyy — I absolutely LOVE your art!! I’m kinda sad that there is not enough Rio Nakamura fanart in the Internet but you saved me. Are you willing to draw her again? Maybe with karma ? And I always thought about Shuu x Rio what is your opinion on that?

OH THANK YOU!! I draw Nakamura fairly often enough, usually when I'm on the verge of suffering from art block. She's fun and easy to draw and to think about. So, don't worry ❤💕

I might draw her with Karma too. The two hazards to mankind is a dynamic I've definitely thought about time and time again. Let's see if I'll find myself in the mood to draw them in the future 🤔

And about GakuRio... um

I'm sorry. I'm sure you'd want to know what my genuine thoughts about them are but I really just cant.

Nakamura being a sapphic bi who's only into feminine men (Nagisa) and all women is a semi-canon headcanon that is deeply ingrained in my brain, that the mere thought of her being with any guy outside that very specific category is something I just couldn't take seriously 😭

Not that I have anything against people who do ship her with other guys, that is. Y'all do you and I respect that. I'm just not willing to get anywhere near that lane.

It's just that this tweet has done serious damage to my brain and I can't go back 😭

Even with Chiba, despite the amount of Bakamura content I've posted over the years, my body just fully rejects the mere idea of viewing the way I write out their dynamic in a romantic lense 😭 There were like two instances when I drew them in a romance shoujo-manga manner and you easily can tell how UNSERIOUS I am with them lmao

[plantwithoutplot]

Oh oh for the ask game i’d love to hear you answer 11, 14, and 16!!

Ooooh thank you for the ask!! You've picked interesting ones for sure ゞ(’ꇴ’*)ノ ヾ(*’ꇴ’)ノ” Sorry it took me a while to answer but I really really had to connect those damn 2 braincells I have left 🤣 that and being a working adult sucks

11. Which non-Straw Hat character would you love to see join the crew?

AAAAH THIS 🥲🥲....

My Top 3 would be:

1. Vivi. BECAUSE CMON SHE IS A STRAWHAT AND ALWAYS WILL BE 🥹🥹🫶🫶🫶🩷

2. Yamato!! 🩵🤍🩷 My boy dederves to go on an adventure and he would fit so well with the crew (*´▽`*)❀ He's got just the right amount of Crazy/Braincells to belong with them! Plus, he always wanted to be free, to be able to finally go out and explore the world and discover all of its wonders 😭💙

3. Bonclay 🦢 Honestly he was an icon and we loved him and the crew loved him (the idiotic ones at least) and he would have been a great nakama 😭😭😭

14. If you were to have one of the devil fruits in the series, which one would you have?

Some of yall may not like this answer buuuuut... The Yami Yami No Mi 🤔

We only know the basics of the fruit and yet it already gives its user SO MANY powers, literally and metaphorically speaking? Not only can you copy (steal) another Devil Fruit power, but darkness in itself brings so many possibilities!!

Like, we have seen Blackbeard use it similarly to a black hole (absorbing light/drawing anything close, thus affecting gravity), but what if there is more?

Can you use it to shadow travel? Could you use it like a warp gate/wormhole? Can you still steal another Devil Fruit's power even if it is the opposite of the Yami Yami no Mi? What is the limit of Devil Fruit powers you can steal? Can you use them simultenaously and how much does it tires you out? What would the drawback be? What would be the best combination to come up with????

Sorry for the ramble lmao this fruit just rubs my brain the right way, yknow 🤧🤧

16. If you were to make fake devil fruit, what would you call it and how would it work? And what would happen if it awakened?

OOF THIS IS A TOUGH, TOUGH ONE Σ(　 Д )ﻌﻌﻌﻌ⊙ ⊙

Y'all know I'm a sucker for time travels/loops....... So........ Quite obviously, this is gonna be the theme.

It would be a man-made fruit, like the SMILEs. However, because of its nature and creation process, I doubt it would be a manufactured one. What I mean by that is, while created by people, it couldn't be on as big a scale as Cesar/Doflamingo/Kaidou managed for the SMILEs. Why? Because the processus wouldn't involve any SAD, nor experiements ― but I'll come back to that!

What's the Fake Devil Fruit's power? It will be that of a paramecia! It will however be limited to giving you the power of a Devil Fruit that doesn't already have a power.

What's the take? While you do get a chance at having a Paramecia power (and awaken it like you would any other paramecia)... That shall only be so upon your death. So not only do you have to experience death to get that power (you are brought back to the moment/state you were in as you died), but you only have 1 chance out of 200 for it to work. You cannot know whether or not you've won the Fake Devil Fruit Lottery up until your last breath. For comparison, SMILEs give you 1 chance out of 100 to get a Zoan's power. Plus, since this wouldn't be a manufactured product, it means that there would only be a scarce amount available on a yearly basis.

How is it created? Thanks to the combined powers of two Devil Fruits! Which I have made up but according to Egghead Island that ain't too far-fetched lol By combining the powers of the Reset Reset no Mi (Sorry for the japenglish but I ain't gonna try and translate this), which allows you to reset time back (for a few minutes only, but up to 6 hours if you have awakened it), and the power of the Odd Odd no Mi, which allows you to slightly manipulate the odds of an event (here, the successful creation of a fake Devil Fruit that use the Reset Reset no Mi to give its user a second chance).

How would it be named? Well........ Y'all know me........ I'm a sucker for terrible, terrible puns............

All Hail the Loopsie-Daisy 🍉🍎🍍

[sparkly-skies]

@mondscheinprinzessin "#<< and that's just where they're gonna stay forever#to the tune of jatp's unsaid emily | that's the soundtrack to your mind fics? what kinda sad stuff do you got up there?😭 (in which I mean, please share)"

I'm just gonna anwer that on this blog.

I wasn't thinking of anything in particular, I just thought "ah yes, the fanfic ideas in my mind, that's where they'll stay forever probably because I put off trying to write constantly", and then had that line with the melody in my mind and couldn't remember where it was from until I googled it. Have some Unsaid Emily for the crying of it:

Anyway, I still went through my notes doc and I can share some sad ideas if you want 😌

The main thing is still the "put Olli in a Dirndl and let him get harassed which then brings up a past incident he thought 'wasn't that bad' but he's still angry about it" vent fic one; I've told you plenty about that already I think, although I think I've maybe strayed a bit too far from what I originally wanted to write with that. Maybe I'll have to circle back to--- actually nevermind, I got confused and looked at my notes again and it does work like that, I just forgot part of why I wanted to put him in a dress in the first place. It works like that, please continue (me @ my brain). I'm still not sure how to get the comfort in there, sorry.

this one's hurt AND comfort, you could read it! I saw this prompt: - "Um, I know this might sound weird... but can you help me dye my hair? It would make me feel better." - "It's not weird at all. What colour?" and I don't have too specific ideas about it yet, but maybe something about Aleksi feeling torn about having "left" his solo career to join a band that's so different from what he did so far and thinking that maybe it would help if he tried to look more like he "belongs" there, so he asks someone for help dying his hair black the first time.

I think we also already talked about that one, or was that with someone else? - "I don't ever want to feel like I did that day again." Either someone (Olli? Tommi?) running into his shitty ex and telling his now-boyfriend they don't want to feel like they did in that relationship ever again; or a day one of them almost gave up on their music career because it was really hard and a shitty day came at the end of a shitty month and it seemed like they'd never make it anyway; or somewith with regards to past suicidal feelings and finally opening up to his friends about it.

Did you ever listen to Santa Cruz' Breathe? I did and it almost made me cry. It hits SO hard, like wth, losing friends and wondering how things would be if something would have been different? just rip my heart out, that would hurt less 😭

Hey, this is not necessarily a sad one! I wrote down "We're safe inside this Pandora's Box", which I've also had down to try to draw something for for ages now (in fact I think it was the first thing I wrote down for BC), and I have no idea for it at all, I just thought it could be a good title for a fic about how they (the band as a whole or a pairing of friends or a couple) are safe and happy with each other, they are each other's boxes to be safe inside and they'll be fine as long as they are there with each other.

and then there's also the one we've already talked about with Joonas or Olli going to visit his parents and immediately being treated like a child again in regards to... just about everything. Btw, the last line of the notes for that is "So many possibilities. Anyone hurt someone, please, thanks😊 - Laura"

MASTERLIST

*****

Tally marks and nail clippings lined the edges of the basement. The window at the far corner allowed some light into the room, just enough to see him twitch and shiver.

You could hear the wind howling, cars racing past. The city was bustling, unaware of what was going on.

The red smears on the grey wall guided your eyes to the fragile body. The cardboard boxes and metal shelves making him look vulnerable, like a deer caught in headlights.

There lay abandoned, bruised and battered in a pool of blood, your brother.

Jay lifted his head, allowing you to see his watery red eyes. For the first time in your life, you saw fear in your brother's eyes— pure, crisp and burning fear.

He had cuts littered all over his face, blood seeping out of the broken skin. You watched how it mixed with sweat as it made it's way down his cheek.

His arms were tied to the wall, the hard rope tugging at his skin, drawing blood .

You jolted hearing footsteps behind you, as a large shadow came into view.

The man was as tall as the ceiling, towering over you.

His muscles bulged from his arms, shoulders squared with confidence.

Half of his face was burned , the dead skin masking his wicked smile.

Your breath hitched as he took out his gun, aiming it at Jay. The world came to a stand still, your body going into flight mode.

You ran towards Jay, throwing your arms around his neck, "NO!!PLEASE DONT HURT HIM!!PLEASE!!" you wailed, as you sat beside your brother, trying your best to shield him from the gunman.

"Oh, I'm sorry—" he mocked, inching his way towards you,"—I'm afraid your brother has run out of time" he clicked his tongue, shaking his head in disaproval.

You paled at his words. The air around you came to a halt, as his finger moved to the trigger. Your grip on Jay tightened.

Tears rolled down your cheeks, as you tucked your head into the crook of Jay's neck, firmly shutting your eyes.

You were helpless. You had no one to call and no way of saving Jay .

You had one job to do— to keep Jay safe— and you failed.

He didn't deserve this. Your brother had helped thousands of people. And saved hundreds of lives.

He didn't deserve to die.

You didn't know what happened first. You screamt, your tiny body pushing all the air out of your lungs, as the sound of the gunshot bounced off the walls.

The loud bang sent tremors through your bones and in an instant, you felt someone's strong arms around you, manhandling you away from jay.

No, no, no... you had to try to save your brother. What—what if he dies? What if he doesn't make it?god, this is all your fault.

You left out a strangled cry, trying to free yourself from the tight hold. You kicked and punched with whatever energy you had left.

"Y/n!! Y/n!!—" Oh god , he knew your name. How did he know your name? He would come and find you."—Hey , hey, it's okay ..... it's okay , y/n—" Will ? What was he doing here? Was he in trouble too? "—wake up.... Hey , open your eyes for me" Will said, sitting on your bed.

His voice was calm and soothing. You felt your heart rate slow down, letting your body take deeper breaths.

You slowly opened your eyes, shaking your head,"Jay —Will —Jay's hurt—" You sobbed, as you wrapped your arms around Will's neck "—I— I couldn't do anything"

"Hey , it's okay. Jay's okay , y/n. he's fine" Will sighed.

Today was Jay's first day back to work. Almost a week ago he had gotten shot while chasing a suspect. He took one to the shoulder and had lost a lot of blood by the time he came to Med.

The image of him stopping you from running into the OR, was vividly ingrained into his mind. He remembered holding you close and rubbing your back in the doctor's lounge, as you cried to yourself. The two of you spent the night at the hospital, waiting for Jay to wake up.

And just yesterday, Jay had been cleared for desk duty.

"Jay's stuck at work but he'll be home soon alright?" he said, pulling away from your grip.

You knew Will was just trying to comfort you.

You knew that Jay was strong. He was one of the strongest people you knew.

But you couldn't shake off the weird feeling you had. Fear lurked in the shadows. A silent voice at the back of your mind.

"What if he gets hurt again?" you asked, voice shaking with dread. '' what if—''

"Hey ,hey—" Will quickly interrupted, not wanting you to finish your thoughts "—Jay's gonna be okay. He's always going to come back home to us y/n, always.

No matter what happens at work, he's still our Jay. He's still our brother. He's always gonna come back to watch movies with us. He's gonna help you pick costumes for Halloween and braid your hair and tuck you in bed. And he'll come back to us okay? No matter what."

Jay did promise that he'd always come back, and as far as you could remember —Jay never broke his promises.

You slowly nodded and wiped your tears away. You felt a little guilty as you realized that Will was just in his sweatpants.

"Did I wake you up?"

"It's all right."

"You wanna tell me about the dream you had?" He asked after a minute.

"Maybe ....... but can I sleep with you? Just until Jay comes back?"

You didn't want to be alone. You knew that once you closed your eyes, the man would be back, and just like last time you wouldn't be able to save Jay.

"Sure, come on." Will said, as he held out his hand for you to take.

"Jay won't get hurt, right?" you asked, doubt still clouding your mind.

" What did I tell you? No matter what happens, he'll come home."

" Yea ... it's just that Jay doesn't really like hospitals

and I think he's kinda scared of shots"

Will laughed as the two of you entered his bedroom. He would never get used to Jay being so afraid of needles.

He patted the bed and you climbed up tucking yourself under the covers. Will join you after putting a shirt on and switching off the lights.

You snuggled into him resting your head on his chest.

" Are you okay?" Will asked quietly, noting the firm grip you had on his shirt.

"He — he had a gun" You frowned, recalling the horrifying nightmare "He was —he was going to kill Jay" Your breath hitched, the scene still fresh in your mind, like it was yesterday.

You could feel Jay shiver beneath your touch. He was struggling to keep his eyes open.

You were drenched in silence except for his ragged breaths. It was like you could feel the pain he was in.

You flinched hearing a lock turn. Your eyes snapped open, fear overriding your thoughts.

" Hey , hey, it's okay—" Will soothed "—it's just Jay. He's back. He's home"

A huge wave of relief washed over you "Come on, I wanna see him!" you exclaimed, crawling over Will only to step on him in the place between his legs, eliciting a groan from him.

You jumped off the bed heading towards the living room and Will followed you after trying to breathe through the pain "Y/n!!"

Jay closed the door but immediately turned around hearing your footsteps.

His wounds were slowly healing, his left arm was still in a sling and his ribs needed to be wrapped every other day. And after Will's relentless begging, he'd even agreed to therapy with Doctor Charles. All in all he was trying to put his injury behind him.

"Jay!!" you cried as you lept into his arms. He picked you up by only using his right arm, grunting when he put pressure on his ribs.

You rested your head against his shoulder, hugging him tighter . Jay hissed, the muscles in his shoulder were still sore after the surgery.

You immediately pulled back," Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you"

" It's okay kiddo, it's okay" he assured, making use of the breathing exercises he was thought during his army days.

" What are you doing up so late anyway?" he asked, looking at Will.

" She had a nightmare"

Jay sighed. He was almost expecting this.

You were so worried at the hospital, never leaving his side. Will had to drag you out of the room when it was time to eat.

He remembered how you sat next to him on the bed, tracing his bruises and cuts on his cheeks, with your fingertips.

No matter how much Will reassured you that he was fine, you insisted on staying in the hospital.

He could sense that even at your age, you were smart enough to figure out that his job was dangerous.

"I'm here, okay? I'm right here. and you know what.... you can sleep with me tonight. That sound good ?"

You nodded, wanting to stay close to him to make sure he was safe.

Soon , you were waiting in Jay's bed, under his weighted blanket.

Will had wrapped his ribs and cleaned some of his smaller cuts. He helped Jay maneuver into a new shirt while he placed the sling back into its original position and insisted that he get a morphine shot to ease his pain.

Jay stumbled into the room, slowly laying beside you, adjusting himself into a comfortable position.

"C'mere " he said, opening his arm as you shifted next to him, being careful to not hurt him.

A few minutes of silence passed before Jay spoke up.

"I'll be okay, y/n. I'll get better"

You looked at him skeptically, "and then you'll go back to work" You accused. You couldn't imagine what life would be like if Jay died. You didn't want to live in a world where you only had one brother. "and then you'll get hurt again"

The thought of going back to the hospital drove you crazy. You hated the plain white walls and the smell of bleach. You couldn't stand the noises of all those machines you never understood the purpose of.

But the worst of them all was the image of your brother lying on the gurney . You could barely recognize him with all the cuts and bruises and blood he had on his face.

That wasn't your Jay. No , it couldn't be. The real Jay was strong. Was alive. Not laying in a hospital bed, bandaged up and covered in bruises.

No , what you were looking at was the shell of the great man your brother was. The real Jay didn't have so many tubes sticking out of him. He didn't have so many wires plunged into his arms.

" I don't like your job. Do you really have to work?" you looked at him with pleading eyes but some part of you already knew the answer "I don't know what you're doing all day..... and— and I don't know if you're safe!" you tried to argue.

And now more than ever, you never believed he would be safe. He could be in danger with a gun pointed at him..... and you would never know. You would be blissfully unaware of your brother's body hitting the ground.

You would be your happy self. Writing your notes or playing at school.

And you would never know. That shadow of doubt and fear lurked beneath you, threatening to devour you. It was very possible, that one day when you came from school Jay would be gone.

"Hey, hey, look at me." his voice was quiet but stern "you've met Hailey. and Adam and Kevin. and Kim and Vanessa. They all love you, you know that right?" you nodded not understanding how they were connected to Jay being safe "They know that I need to come back home. They know that you will be waiting for me, so they'll keep me safe out there. They'll have my back"

You loved Jay's friends. Hailey and Kim and Vanessa had girl's nights and sometimes they would let you join. And Adam and Kevin were basically your brothers.

You remembered how none of them left Med when Jay was shot and how they sat together in the waiting room until Jay came out of surgery.

But one question lingered on your mind "Then why didn't they keep you safe from getting shot?"

Your words were like a punch to the gut to Jay. He stiffened recalling Hailey's questioning look she threw his way when he walked out of their active crime scene. He remembered her voice calls asking him where he was, and the pang of guilt he felt in his stomach when he lied to her.

"That wasn't their fault y/n. I made a mistake" that almost took me away from you went unsaid, "I didn't tell them I was in danger.........but I should have. I know that now. And what does Will say about making mistakes?"

" That making mistakes are okay, but you have to learn from them?" you recited what your brother had thought you.

" Exactly . I made a mistake and I learned from it. So from now onwards I'll tell my team everything, and they will have my back "

It was like a huge weight was lifted off your shoulders. Maybe it was okay that you weren't always there with Jay. His friends would protect him.

"And you know my team....... they're like my second family. That means they're your family too. So they have your back aswell" he smiled, as he tickled you lightly, making you laugh.

" Yeah , I guess so"

" But you know a lot of people don't have families or friends to keep them safe. That's why I go to work and do my job. I keep people safe. And even if they're strangers, my duty is to keep them safe"

Your eyes widened in realization as you understood the true meaning of his job, looking at him with what could only be described as pure admiration.

" Just like Will and I , the whole of intelligence will keep you safe"

"Really ? All of intelligence?" you asked, surprised.

"Yes , really!" he laughed "I'll be safe y/n. We both are going to be safe 'cause we have a lot of people looking out for us"

He tucked you in closer to him, as you curled into a ball. His arm engulfed you in its warmth and safety, almost like a bubble from your thoughts.

Will was right. Jay was your brother and no matter what happens, he would always come back home to you. You were almost asleep when you felt Jay press a kiss to your head. "I love you" he said but his voice cracked.

Unlike you, Jay knew the truth. There were only so many promises he could keep, and there were only so many lies he could tell you. And lying to you just about this one thing— so that you wouldn't worry so much—was okay.

His job being dangerous was an understatement. Jay knew that he was a simple pawn, in the grand scheme of the universe.

He knew that one day, he would have to think about his mortality, but today was not that day. Not when his little sister was lying next to him, scared of a nightmare which was actually a glimpse into reality. No . today was not the day to think about the inevitable— the simple fact that one morning, he would walk out those doors and never return.

He held you a little tighter, a little closer.

[mistersweetpotato]

Thank you for answering my ask.....if you don't mind me asking (again), who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (canon or non-canon)? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

Hi @dnana-2809-blog ! Thank you very much for asking me that ! 😳❤

I'm sorry I took such a long time to answer. Lots of things happened but I'm always happy to read your questions so feel free to ask anything you want 🥰❤

Well, I absolutely enjoy romance and I must admit my favourite characters are related to that topic X') So forgive me if my answer isn't very original from the previous one.

[⚠️ SPOILERS ALERT ⚠️]

Fav ships

-> CANON : Ophelie and Thorn (The Mirror Visitor)

I love how their relationship evolved, how they learned to understand each other, respect and eventually love each other. I appreciate slow-burns with tension and very dramatic scenes and I must say they nailed it haha

I'd say they're a powerful couple 😤💖

-> CANON : Tohru and Kyo / Arisa and Kureno (Fruits Basket)

There are a lot of romance and couples in Furuba and all of them are interesting and beautiful. Tohru and Kyo is the main ship and their story is very endearing and memorable. I also love Arisa and Kureno's. It's not the most developed love story because they fell in love at first sight and couldn't see each other much due to the head of the Soma family's restrictions, but it moved me to see how much they loved each other. Their romance is really soft and kind yet a bit sad at moments.

-> NON-CANON : Kotetsu and Barnaby, obviously X') (Tiger and Bunny)

Well, I nearly cried when I wrote non-canon because...I tried my best to view them as friends so I could understand those who don't ship them but nah, they're clearly in love, your honor. The end of S1, the dramatic break-up in the Rising and their struggle to go on a date in S2 plus Barnaby being very caring with Kotetsu's daughter...

I love silly dudes that argue like old couples but who care a lot and love each other 😌❤

-> NON-CANON : Polnareff and Avdol / Joseph and Caesar (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)

Like the previous ship, all of them are bromances with the same type of dynamic. My comfort ship is Polnareff and Avdol, I guess it helped me a lot to draw them when I felt really down and I still dearly love them today.

I do love Joseph and Caesar too and how Caesar had positively impacted Joseph's attitude toward others. Wish we could have seen more of these two ;w;

-> CANON : Millian and Jay (Unmatched!)

Well...it's a webcomic on WEBTOON CANVAS created by my sis but seriously, I wouldn't write it here if I didn't like the ship as much as the other ones I've listed. Unfortunately, she's writing it in French and there are only 5 episodes available in English. But if you're curious about it, please, check it and let me know what you think about it or if you want the next chapters, I'll encourage her to translate and publish them 💖

Anyways, I love this ship because... it's a slow-burn with two (at first glance) mismatched characters. They've got a long way full of struggles and misunderstandings before starting loving each other. A cute looking little gentleman with a stupid and impulsive ladies' man, a interesting duo, right ? 😎❤ I personally can't wait to read the next chapter 😭

And...that's all !! I hope my answer wasn't too boring for you to read ! Thanks again for your question, I wish you a wonderful day 🥰💖💖

Two of my MCs for @lemonade-if. It's been a while since I posted anything related to IFs... well, it's been a while since I posted anything really lmao so apologies if my art has been changing constantly (i don't have an official art style yet i think)

I couldn't choose who to draw between these two so why not both?

MC descriptions and more under the cut.

Haruki Atsumi is a soft and charming (even though he doesn't realize) guy but he also wouldn't hesitate to smack a bitch with a smile on his face. Half bowl cut Haruki's blue hair color was almost his official hair color until I changed it to pink just because I wanted to lmao. Although charming, he has no interest in dating anyone yet. He's reluctant because of his parents' divorce. If they can't find their happy ending, how would he find his? So, onto his ROs. I didn't know if his RO should be Yosuke or Yuushin since I'm a sucker for stoic fictional men so Yosuke is an obvious choice, plus I like slow burns. But Yuushin's route seems interesting. Just the thought of gentle, pretty boy Haruki falling for the whole bad boy thing Yuushin has going on. If I can't choose one then why not try both? Also, I may try romancing Akane too because their dynamic seems cute. All the ROs are so good I can't just choose one, man 😭

"Atsumi is a good-looking guy. Whenever he passes by in the hallways, heads will turn. He's also always helping students and teachers around the school after class until the sun is gone and even then, he's still looking around for someone who needs help. Makes me wonder if he's trying to delay going home..."

"He always has a smile on his face. Although, I remember walking past an empty classroom when I saw Atsumi-san inside, looking out the window with a solemn look on his face. It worried me – still does, actually – but I didn't approach him since I felt like he needed some space. I do hope he's alright."

———————————————————————————

Mitsuki Miyano will hesitate to smack a bitch. She has a kind face and a soothing voice (no, she does not sing) but she's just like Yosuke, aloof and stoic but soft-hearted. She's not lazy, she's actually quite the academic but she doesn't want to attend P.E. because she just doesn't like moving around much. She looks tall but trust me, she's not lmao. She actually may be more alike to Shion than I would like. If their dynamic doesn't work out then I'll have to change Mitsuki's personality to something a little more smiley or something softer? idk but I hope ya'll get the idea.

"Miyano...? Ah, the new kid! She's kind enough to help people when asked but she'll never do things on her own. She always looks busy and seems troubled by something. I remember that one time I saw her slacking off during P.E. in one of the classrooms. She was staring at a table in front of her and she had this sad look on her face like she was about to cry."

"Miyano-chan is a no-nonsense type of person and she constantly has this bored look in her eyes but she has a gentle appearance, right? It's because she is. Past the hard exterior is a kind and sweet girl who just wants friends. Even her voice will soothe you to sleep. She could never hurt a fly. One time, we were walking home from school when she suddenly crouched down to pet a stray puppy. It was the first time I ever saw her smile so brightly... her smile is really pretty."

Ngl I really didn't try that hard to find Mitsuki a more suitable voice since my energy was spent finding a perfect voice for Haruki, like I had a whole pad of paper out to list down potential voices for him so for a whole day I compared them and eliminated the ones that I didn't think suited him. So, when it was time to find a voice for Mitsuki I just said, "She's calm. Saori Hayami."

i'm really bad at this 💀
