#TY SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK!!!! :D

[charliesinfern0]

PLEASE PLEASE DO AN ANALYSIS OF UR MUSIC CHOICES IM VERY CURIOUS!!!!!!!! i like the juxtaposition of stuff like toms diner with more poppy utaite work i think theres a definite through line w tone that conveys the overall intended consistent ship feel but its still very neatly diverse ^^ INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY

HI OMG IM SO HAPPY YOURE INTERESTED!!!!! :D hehehe ok um im super excited to do this, im sorry if it takes a while to answer i just have a LOT of thoughts about Aichi ^^

ok lets get into it (under the cut bc its long :3)

So Drop Pop Candy is THE quintessential Aichi song, like she's represented by the girl singing, and she's optimistic about moving forward and spending the days with Ichi, while Ichi is represented by the guy singing (and also the cat), where he's nervous about the future, but Ai encourages him to move forward with her. Also the translation im using mentions the moon and stars, and how the girl wants to reach them, and i think that fits really well with Ai and her connection to the moon! i could just copy paste the entire song here and be like "just read this its literally Aichi" lololol (also i really want to draw Ai in the outfit that the girl in the music video wears >u<)

When We First Met also just fits so well with the idea that i had that Ichimatsu loves Ai's hair, and how when Ai was younger/in highschool her hair was short, but now its really long.

I think that Ichimatsu is very perceptive of the changes in people that he's close to, so it also represents how he sees that Ai has changed since he last saw her, and his love for her has grown since then (also! in the art i made of high school Ai she has a little bunny hair clip, and Ichi is the one that gave it to her :) he won it from a crane game and immediately thought "i have to give this to Ai, she would love it." and she did ^^)

Always Like This and Who Said Anything (About Falling In Love) are low points for Ichimatsu before the start of their relationship. He is so scared of his feelings for her, because he doesnt want to mess up their friendship, he doesnt want to push it and risk it. He also feels like he's holding her back from experiencing life and following her passions, since she told him that she moved back to Akatsuka from college because she missed him and all of her friends there. He thinks that she would be better off if she moved back to her college, and that its selfish that deep down he really wants her to stay with him. BUT AI CAME BACK BECAUSE SHE REALLY DID MISS HIM AND ALL HER FRIENDS AND SHE FELT AWFUL FOR LEAVING AND SHE REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HIM!!!! T_T

Sunburn is such a cute song that i think represents the sort of beginning of their relationship, and like Ai loves the beach so they would definitely go there for a date.

Its like the giddiness and nervousness Ichi feels, and just how intensely he loves Ai.

Love At First Sight makes me think of before their relationship, but a good amount of time has passed since Ai moved back, and theyve gotten back to being close friends again.

Theres a scenario in my head where Ichi is out at night bc he just needed to get out of his house for a while, and he ends up at Ai's place and they hang out and she's like "if you want to spend the night you can, i cant imagine living with five other people like your brothers haha" and while she's talking hes zoning out and in his brain hes screaming but then hes just like "ok. that, sounds good. thank you" and then hard cut to him laying on her couch wide awake thinking 'im in love with her im in love with her oh my god im in love with her. i need to kill somebody' lololol ^^ the song just really reminds me of him, especially these lyrics:

Beings is on the playlist mainly because of the nostalgia it gives me of when i first got into Osomatsu-san because thats when i first heard it ^^

Mermaid mainly represents how Ai feels when she realizes her feelings for Ichimatsu. There's a lyric that says "This tiny world, when you totter with the screw, it will begin to loosen up!", and it reminds me a lot of Ai in the fact that shes a robot and has screws, but also that her world is held together by screws, and they get rusty and weak when theyre in the water. She feels like her world changes when her feelings for Ichimatsu flood her heart ("The tiny world is flying out, as her heart floats on cloud nine. The boy must be aiming at the sea. Unable to shake off this wobbly feeling, she already knows, it is nothing but fascination!") The lyric "Her real face is shown" makes me think of how Ai sometimes thinks that she is nothing but a machine, her "true face" only being the screws and wires that she is made up of. Then, the lyrics "Knowing that nothing else will happen, he goes on chasing something as if motivated for some reason. It is nothing but fascination!" are more from Ichimatsu's point of view, about how he wants to understand Ai and her feelings when he sees a shift in how she acts (because of her feelings for him), but he knows that nothing will really happen because hes scared of finding out how she truly feels about him, because he doesnt want her to hate him, but hes also scared at the fact that she likes him.

Sweet Little Kiss is a bit of a pick-me-up from the previous song, just a sweet little love song that makes me think of a cute date where Ai and Ichi walk in the winter snow, feeling warm from the sweets they eat and their love for each other, and they share a sweet kiss in the snow :)

ツキ (Tsuki) is the namesake of the playlist! :D Tsuki means moon, which ties into how Ai is connected to the moon.

Its sung from Ichimatsu's perspective, about how he doesn't really think he's the right person for Ai, but as long as she's here with him, he'll do his best to comfort her.

These lyrics are just so him ;_;

Hibikase is leaning a bit into AU territory, mainly it makes me think about the merch line where the brothers are hackers. Like Ai is a vocaloid/robotic idol in their world and they fall in love despite her being a computer. it just fits to me, also its just one of my fave songs ever ^^

６つ子の魂ナユタまで (Mutsuko no Tamashi Nayuta Made) is the op that i connect to Ai and Ichimatsu the most (though it can also extend to the other brothers considering what the song is about).

Ai sees the many different sides of Ichimatsu, and even though she knows how shitty he and his brothers can be, she cant help her feelings.

Its a more lighthearted version of Ai figuring out her feelings for Ichi, but she still does feel like it would be too good to be true if Ichi did like her back.

Love At First Sight (2011 Fancy Studio Version) ITS THE REPRISE!!!! Its a contrast to the much quieter original version, where Ichi was trying to push his feelings down and not let them take over, but in this version its a lot more upbeat and theres more going on, showing that Ichi is fully realizing his feelings and they blow up inside him, filling his heart with love for Ai.

Tom's Diner is specifically for the Phantom Thief AU, taking place in this pretty city that Ai lives in. She's at a coffee shop during a rainy day, with a bunch of small things around her that remind her of Ichi (a black cat walking by outside, cat paintings inside the shop), because she had previously encountered him during one of his heists since her father Dekapan is the owner of the biggest museum in their city. All that he left behind was a purple handkerchief with a black cat paw on it, which she kept and is now studying as she sips her coffee. She feels someone is looking at her, but when she turns, there's nobody except a cute black cat meowing at her from outside.

Celeste makes me think of the Denki Mystery AU, and its from the perspective of Hajime (Ichi).

Instead of new years, Hajime reminisces on the summer festival he, Akimi (Ai) and his brothers went to when they all first came to the village, and he remembers how she looked in her yukata covered in red flowers.

Hajime feels as though he's seen Akimi before, and he wants to find out the secret she seems to be wrapped up in. He's not sure what his feelings are for her, he always feels like hes chasing after her, trying to understand her. But, he also feels like he shouldnt be getting so close to her, despite his beating heart signaling otherwise.

サリシノハラ (Sarishinohara) and Sexy Sunshine being right next to each other is a bit of whiplash considering the tones of each song, but i put them together because theyre songs that i connect to the Fujio Rock AU. Sarishinohara i think is a song that Ai would sing during the festival, since in the AU she's an underground idol who is also a fan girl of the Matsuno brothers' band. She catches the eye of the brothers, and after that she becomes a regular feature for their songs and when they perform live (in actuality they all knew each other when they were younger, and dont recognize each other now, but when Ichi saw her first perform on stage, he thought her voice sounded familiar). Sexy Sunshine reminds me of the Feat. Matsuzou set from the AU, since it takes place at a music festival on the beach, and i think its a song that Ai and Ichi would perform together with the rest of the band.

and yeah! aichi is very real to me ^^

[ariespetal]

may i humbly request a chihiro in these trying times?

absolutely you may

AYO

JUST NOTICED THAT YOU ARE THAT GUY

HELLOOOOO

I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE OVERALL

LMAO HOW DID YOU FIND ME SO FAST?!?

[rudnitskaia]

Someone she knows just had a baby and Mau is asked if she wants to hold it, how odes she react?

follow-up question is she good with kids?

Thank you so much for the ask, @coffeintheface, it was super cute to draw! I love to dive into such cozy scenes, they soothe me, and I hope you'll feel that warmth, too. ✨💖✨

And it was the perfect opportunity to show Mau as a kid. :3 Augusto daily tried his best to braid her hair, let's praise the man, he's a pro now. x))

"Non paeniteo potitus."

+ details & process

And, process !!

The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️

What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:

I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!

There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!

chewing on your guardian au Mikey rn /aff

he is such a goober i love him

he is EXTREMELY goober, so little, so happy, so free :'D

[wikitpowers]

Favourite Ty headcanons!?!

despite liking the books much much more, i think he’s watched every single sherlock adaptation at least twice (probably with kit😌)

he sometimes sneaks out of the scholomance during the night to find animals and study their behaviour but somehow never ever gets caught

julian taught him how to make pancakes and since then he’s been a MASTER at making them (second only to julian himself)

he loves going to the library and just peacfully reading in silence with no one around (also he has a shit ton of books to return let’s be honest)

much like kit he has his own diary and fills it with ‘ty herondale’ (he’s in deep deep loveee guys)

his bee headphones were a birthday gift from julian and he always has them with him

[ace-but-not-a-pilot]

What's your favorite animal? Fav song?

Howdy! My favorite animal is the humble jellyfish, probably a bloodbelly comb jellyfish. My favorite song always shifts around a lot, of course, but the version of “We’ll Meet Again” by the Inkspots does hold a special place in my heart, even if it is a cover <333

[dnpbeats]

What’s your Roman Empire of the day emma

I've got two for the day:

the cactus thing on the radio show?? absolutely unhinged moment phil, the way he says it and dan's reaction u just KNOW it's a story from their real life. and phil is just on radio 1 for all the world to hear, asking abt what to do if ur bf cares more about a cactus than you. and dan saying "a unique problem" yeah bitch bc he's talking abt u and we all know it!! and also phil directly addressing the question to mollie after the orig jealous dan incident with her, he chose VIOLENCE

the 2012 live show dan did while drunk because wtf was he thinking 😭 he was just in a silly goofy mood ig

[marbleboa]

hey this is Shitti and *holding ur hand* i love tsukishimaaaaaaa he's my favorite of the 7th division LOVE AT FIRST lizard nose. i was *SCREAMIN CRYING THROWING UP* during the last arc bc of him TOT

OUGHHH GRIPS YOUR HAND. TSUKISHIMA....

He actually stayed under my radar for a while but. You cannot hand me a pint-sized brick shithouse with a cute squished face and a distressingly atrophied sense of self and not expect me to eventually latch on. I think the arc with him and Tanigaki especially drove me insane...he tries so hard to be someone's weapon, no mercy, just mindless pursuit, but then it all falls apart to leave the pain that's been at his core for all those years.

(spoiler talk below)

AND THEN THE LAST ARC. I...was honestly expecting to lose him here, if I'll be real. It was giving me the vibe of a 'character doubles down on his fucked up mindset and it leads him to his end' kind of scenario. It's not surprising in the least, but it always kills me(positive) how he never actually breaks away from Tsurumi, it's just that Tsurumi is torn from him. Koito pleads for Tsurumi to set Tsukishima free...but I don't think Tsurumi could've done that if he even wanted to. It was always only up to Tsukishima, but after all those years of violence and manipulation he couldn't bring himself to make any other choice .

And that choice lead him back to the ocean. Again searching for a body, searching for direction.

Also this ask prompted me to look at a bunch of pics of him and I just remembered this panel that will never fail to compromise me.

[typingatlightspeed]

i'm curious: what all inspired you to make the mercs what supernatural beings they are in monsterous intent?

Originally it was just gonna be Demo the werewolf and that's it, but eventually the idea to make it into a whole-ass AU happened, and it kinda got silly from there. For Scout I'll be honest it was largely because I freakin' love fauns and satyrs. Always have. And modern deer-style fauns are absolutely adorable, and I really like the combination of cute, horny, and impulse-driven, which is very Scout. Plus a monster form that messes with his legs seemed Right for the guy whose job is Runs Fast. I also project onto him a little bit let us be honest with ourselves here. (I also cannot shut up clearly have adhd and am the littlest sibling who constantly feels inadequate and like I gotta prove myself.)

With Soldier, it's the whole yelling at severed heads on a fence thing from Meet the Soldier. What if the reason he had those severed heads wasn't just to fake an audience, but because he collects them? Dullahans and headless, what if he uses those heads to disguise himself? I read up on the actual folklore and then played with it A Lot, plus Cephalophores (depictions of beheaded saints carrying their own heads in their hands) are really cool imagery, so I went with it. Plus while in actual Irish folklore Dullahans are Faeries, they're also very death-focused, and you'll see them depicted as undead in media a lot, and with Merasmus being the guy he is, the connection just Worked. Basically canon gave me a really easy lay-up of a monster type for Soldier, lol. And Silas Mann jokes as a bonus. Gods help us if Soldier ever gets a horse. (I totally wanna give him a whip made of a human spine eventually.)

Pyro took a while to figure out. I knew I wanted him to be something that couldn't disguise himself easily, hence always being in the gasmask, but I hemmed and hawwed a lot. Someone (I wish I remembered who) pointed me to djinn and how they're made of "smokeless flame" in myth, so I did a bunch of reading and, again, kind of made my version for this AU. I try to make sure to put a lot of the actual real-world folklore and myth in, but also give stuff its own fun little spin, too. :3

Demo being a werewolf was the whole point, tbh. When I first wrote Predation, it was because there was a little bit of werewolf smut in the fandom, but all of it made Sniper the werewolf. I get the vibes, but Demo actually had a wolfman cosmetic set for Halloween! It only made sense he'd get to be the werewolf! Since Sniper had the monster (vampire) hunter costume, he got to be the guy "hunting" werewolf!Demo, and that was how it all got started.

For Engie I couldn't think of a monstrous transformation that would feel right, and since he was the skeptic in Predation, it only made sense that he'd be very unknowledgable and uninvested in the supernatural (at least until he had to be involved with it lol) so instead I just leaned into the transhumanist vibe that Engie sometimes has and went hard on him slowly fashioning himself into a cyborg. Pyro's apprehensions vs. Engie's views mirror the way I in real life am of two minds about properly advanced cybernetics vs. removing healthy body parts.

Heavy was the first after Demo, with Sniper pointing out he was half-jotun in The Good Folk. I knew I wanted him to be a giant of some sort, and with his Siberian background and cold and ice vibes, being part frost giant just seemed right, yanno? Plus the eventual opportunity for big size difference play was something I couldn't resist. Giant man, giant everything. owo

Medic was a tough one for a while, too. Him taking up magic was directly because of his line from the Merasmus boss fight event, where he goes "I must learn this black magic!" and generally being hype about all the magic bullshit lol. Him being a garuda was harder. I knew I wanted to give him wings; that was never a doubt lbr I am a SUCKER for winged humanoids and doubly so winged Medic. Finding the right monster was the hard part. I didn't wanna go harpy simply because Scout was already a Roman monster and got turned by a Greek one, and I didn't wanna double-dip in those mythological waters. And in Buddhist traditions, Garuda are a type of inhuman creature that appear either as giant birds or anthropomorphic birds. My first exposure to the name was as random bird monsters in Final Fantasy games, lol. So I figured Medic going for that and still kinda fucking it up (being a dove rather than a brahminy kite) would be a fun way to make him a bird man off the beaten path.

Sniper being a monsterfucking human, as mentioned above, was inspired by his vampire hunter halloween costume, lol. Also because lbr out of all of them he seems most like the kind of guy who would do a stakeout to get railed by a werewolf.

Spy needed to be a trickster. That was imperative. Ideally a shapeshifter. Nothing from French folklore jumped out at me enough that I wanted to use it, and finally I gave in and went with one of my favourite monsters: kitsune. Plus it gave me an excuse to be a weeb and my god I look for any excuse there. (I'm not a huge anime/manga weeb I'm a huge language/culture/food weeb lol) It ended up working in my favour too since him not even actually being a human French dude but a Japanese fox who cannot create human children means that the Spy Is Scout's Dad reveal in 2017 didn't hit MI nearly as hard as it could have, lol. Thank fuck, really. Also instead it lead to a hilariously squicky misunderstanding on RED Demo's part lol.

Spy's a monster but he's not a monster, Tav, jeez.

Also: Miss P as a human diviner just makes sense. In addition to her being a mage fitting in the world and giving Medic another, better role model than just Merasmus, it makes sense what with half of her job being surveillance of and managing the teams!

[pagodazz]

How did Patrick get his name in your hc?

Ooooo this is a fantastic question.

TYTYTYSM ANON IM SO GLAD PPL HAVE QUESTIONS

this probably occurred in a past iteration, because he atleast had the name Patrick in the 80s, so I'd maybe go for the fairmount iteration. Yk, since in that one Evans mom gave Evan the nickname, "HABIT."

I really do think it's safe to assume that Michael helped pick out a name for him, because I definitely don't think Patrick is his true name, if he ever really had one???? i feel like he might have a lable, yk "the observer" or shit like that maybe, but it was never really a NAME.

I think that Michael himself helped name Patrick, I think they we're talking and he asked Patrick for his name, he wanted to know who he was. And I think here, Michael is only just a kid, he's young and Patrick was still a feral bitter being, a beast in the head of a boy and Michael wasn't scared of him at all. If anything Michael was always so aware of that kind of sadness Patrick has always carried with him, so when he asks for his name and Patrick will say he doesn't really have a name, he doesn't need a name.

Michael would tell him that's JUST NOT TRUE!!! and he would ask if he could give Patrick a name, and who is Patrick to deny Michael such a request like that??? having a name, a new identity. something that wasn't given to him by slenderman, it doesn't sound too bad.

Michael would definitely throw out a few awful ideas, and Patrick would veto instantly but once Michael says the name, "Patrick" it was like a buzzer went off in their head. Like something important and special just happened. and they both knew that was the right name. It would be the kick start of how they begin to bond more, and adapt to each other, taking account in how each other feels, each others needs.

"My best buddy Patrick." is what I think Michael calls Patrick when he's not around. those two are best friends ur honour 😭🙏

You have singlehandedly convinced me to rewatch ducktales reboot

I'm so sorry

[marv3l-drag0ns]

hermit fanon swap:

perhaps a vampire gem in her castle terrifying the village below? :o

i did two different interps for this- my origignal one where shes cackling maniacally (she just found diamonds) ((she was working on her sexy and evil affairs (minecraft)), and one where shes just a vampire (and her bat form!). The second has deerskin on her shoulders and little stag pins because i cant abandon her deer form like that. cervitaurs my beloved.

also i gave her a monocle because she has glasses irl iirc so i wanted t reference that. And the vines in her hair are references to her skin that has a flower! I dont have a canonical inspiration for the plants, but definitely something red and shiny. the aesthetic persists.

[skitskatdacat63]

i hope u’re not offended but at this point u’re my point of reference when searching for vids/photos or whatever 😭 do u mayhaps have that vid of the brazil 2013 podium, mark’s last race, when seb asks the interviewer to interview mark first and she was like “(seb) is so gentle mark, are u gonna miss him?” and then mark shyly nods mouthing “yes”?????? could’ve sworn i’ve seen it somewhere but i can’t find it anymore tears. anyway no pressure, hope u’re enjoying being in germany!

Of course I'm not offended! Actually, tbh you actually have made me see a lot of new content, and it's a lot of fun to look around, so ty in return 🤭

Here is the vid :D

I also liked this moment beforehand
