Saw some Spinaraki kid OCs so I decided to try my hand at it too. Though it's less happy family kidfic and more resentfully making Heroes and Deku face consequences post-canon. Sorry.

the Spinaraki lovechild:

Shirakata Masanori | 白方正憲

Age: 15

Appearance: Lizard heteromorph. Black hair, pink eyes, white scales.

Quirk: Adhesion. Decay's spreading effect + Gecko's sticking trait. Anything object Masanori touches and remain in contact with will adhere with anything the object is also touching. If he touches a sidewalk, everyone on it will be stuck and trapped, unable to move their feet.

result of Spinner and Shigaraki getting together post-Deika/pre-surgery. super unexpected.

three months after Shigaraki went in for surgery, Spinner pops out an egg (please go with it)

During Heroes' raid on the PLF Villa, Spinner entrusts egg to ReDestro. Unfortunately, when everyone got arrested, egg gets swept up in custody capture of MLA kids.

With no one to claim the egg, it is placed in orphanage; all contact is then lost.

Egg hatches after war, at end of August.

Spinner was never able to tell Shigaraki about their kid due to the possession.

He decides not to say anything to the Heroes either. Doesn't trust them after Shigaraki got killed, and better that the kid doesn't grow up stigmatized for having terrorists as parents.

But Spinner does leave a letter with his court-appointed lawyer, hoping that one day it will reach the kid, when they come of age.

Spinner dies early due to effects of having multiple quirks; dies ten years after war

The lawyer, deciding to just finish up this assignment cleanly, finds the kid 4 years later and delivers the letter despite the kid not reaching age of majority.

Despite half-assed mild societal change efforts, Masanori grows up an orphan in the system, with the additional stigma of being an PLF raid kid (and therefore very likely the child of dead/arrested Villains/criminals)

Abandoned, unnamed babies in Japan are named by the city/town's mayor. Masanori was named with the kanji "white-direction correct-law" in hopes that he would become a law-abiding citizen (unlike his unknown parents). The Mayor is an asshole.

(Though Shirakata is a real surname, and chosen because kid has white scales)

Early on, Masanori looked out into the world and realized it doesn't want him, made it clear he doesn't belong. So he accepted it.

However, he knows the path of Villainy only leads to doom.

His caretakers drilled that into the PLF raid kids. Quirk counseling emphasized it a lot. So did teachers. Everyone.

He’s (reluctantly) played the ‘Villain’ in enough playground games that ends with the ‘Heroes’ pretending to smash him to pieces or explode him to nothing, because everyone has seen the war footage.

And he’s known too many people who salivate over the satisfaction of proving his blood is irreparably criminal.

So he won't be a Villain.

He just wants to leave - leave the orphanage, leave the city, leave Japan. Maybe travel the world alone forever.

Masanori is: very solitary, utterly disinterested in people, self-reliant, pragmatic, opportunistic, clever enough but can bite off more than he can chew

Masanori doesn't really have any sentimental feelings about his parents; or rather, he feels there's no point to dwell on it

He always knew he was the son of criminals. Discovering that he's the son of the most notorious criminals is somewhat cool, but Spinner and Shigaraki are long dead and gone.

When Masanori first received the letter, there was a satisfaction to finally knowing, nearly a sense of destiny. So he read the League of Villains memoir. He read the manuscript drafts that he inherited from Spinner. He did a lot of research.

(In the letter, Spinner admits that the kid was a surprise, that Shigaraki never knew, and Spinner himself doesn't know anything about the kid and will likely go to his grave not knowing.

They dealt the kid a shit hand.

Saying something cliche like they loved the kid they never knew would be hollow; and besides, Spinner and Shigaraki were twisted and distorted people. Villains. So the truth is, the kid is likely better off without them.

But.

Spinner wishes he and Shigaraki could've known the kid, and he regrets that neither of them were able to stay alive and free.

Spinner also writes that if Shigaraki knew about the kid, he knows Shigaraki would've tried to give them the world.)

But eventually, for Masanori, the end result of all that is realizing that there's nothing to be done with this information. Spinner and Shigaraki don't know him, and he doesn't know them; never will. They were criminals, they were young and stupid, they picked a fight and lost, and they left him behind.

All he has is still just himself.

...and this new knowledge he might be able to use to his advantage.

Which is why Masanori decides to confront the Hero Deku and demand compensation for the death of his parents and other hardships

Age 15, Masanori arrives at Deku's agency, carrying Spinner's letter that is his only proof

But just looking at Masanori convinces Deku. Kid's appearance is basically Tenko in lizard heteromorph form, but even his demeanor reminds Deku of Shigaraki - aloof but intense, determined. (tho he is still younger, less hostile, a bit stiff in nervousness)

Deku is shocked, guilty, suspicious, already wants to help, appalled at the extortion attempt. Ready for a conflict.

At least until he hears Masanori's demands:

Guaranteed admission to UA's General Studies Program, a recommendation letter, as well as a stipend all three years that Masanori is in high school.

And that's it.

Masanori has only an okay school record.

He did not have an enriching school life.

He's been accused of delinquent behavior - mostly suspected small theft and 'incidents' with other students

(They could never actually prove he stole anything; and the incidents he get into are always with the more aggressive classmates. They're not so much fights as pranks, and the bullying usually ceases immediately afterwards.)

High school is not mandatory in Japan, and minors legally can start work at age 15, so Masanori has been "asked"/expected to leave the orphanage after middle school. Jin Scenario

Not a very bright future. But he was ready for it... until he received Spinner's letter.

Suddenly.

If Masanori gets into UA High School, an elite national school, with recommendation from a world-renowned and beloved Hero, it's leaving the orphanage, leaving his hometown, starting a new life.

(General Studies program because he has zero interest in being a Hero.)

Graduate and better prepared to leave everything behind and travel the world alone forever.

Opportunity of a lifetime. He will shamelessly seize it.

Masanori's not blackmailing Deku or anything - nothing to blackmail, since no one cares Deku killed Shigaraki, and admitting he's the son of terrorists is social death. He's relying entirely on Deku's heroism.

Even if his Shigaraki was a Villain that Deku had to kill for the good of the world, that was still his father. Deku will feel compassion and guilt for Masanori.

Because Deku is a hero.

Manipulative? Yes. Is he unqualified for UA? Yes. But Masanori wants a chance at having more to life.

And Deku has to face what he (and All Might, and OFA) never actually did: resolve the continued rejection and ostracization problem in quirk society, and the cycle of Shimura tragedy

Because it's quickly obvious Masanori is just like his parents: given up on the world, given up on people. He's just not dangerous about it.

But his heart is empty. He has never been saved. And he no longer wants to be.

In other words: this time, Deku has to truly save someone that's been failed and rejected by this society he upholds. even if easy mode too because Masanori is not a villain. but is less receptive than a seven-year-old. or someone already having Pro-Hero aspirations

new artstyle just dropped

[crewtawn]

Hello followers and new folks, here's a teaser for a big project coming!

I'm currently working on a comic series called "Uber-Heavy"! Join team BLU's "Uber-Heavy", a nervous and paranoid medic main as he's adopted into a competitive team during his first week of being a mercenary by a spy who admires him. Wacky hijinks ensue!

Main cast will be posted soon! Hang in there, you'll get some updates as time progresses. I hope to sell these as full-color doujins as soon as they're complete!

— how they hold hands.

fluff. gn!reader. hcs. ichiro, jiro.

note: tried to make these sweet and short but alas. please enjoy!!

Ichiro . . . holds your hand so tender yet firm — not too loose, not too tight. just right

they're much bigger than yours. Ichiro can fit your entire hand in his

his hands are heavy too. they have weight to them; they’re full of calluses and cracks, scars and frost nips, dirt underneath his nails from the harsh odd jobs he’s worked. they’re not very pretty hands, but they’re gentle even with all the wear and tear. they hold so much love for you and his bros: the entire weight of his heart

they hold you so delicate and light. they’re comforting as they lay on yours, not too heavy or anything. it’s paradoxical, how such heavy hands so full of brute — cracked and bruised from all his fights in his youth — can be so tender and loving towards you

his rings dig into your skin, cold. but his hands themselves are so warm

and he does this thing where he rubs his thumb over your knuckles gently. it’s just a little habit of his — Ichiro doesn’t quite notice it, really — but it’s very sweet

“it’s alright. i’m here.” he says in that deep hushed tone of his, when he notices you’re anxious or holding onto him a bit more firm. he holds your hands gently, rubs his thumb in circles over your skin soothingly like a lullaby

he’s here. and you know it’s so when he holds your hands, how your heart eases instantly at the familiar touch: the slightly rough skin, the calluses at his fingertips, and warmth he holds

sometimes, the weight of his hands is the most comforting thing to your heart.

Jiro . . . holds your hand tightly and fully in his. He doesn’t like to let you go

he likes to hold hands! everywhere he goes, really. walking in the school hallways or lazily holding your finger underneath the desk during free period.

jiro is a very touchy boyfriend. he doesn’t know; he just likes to hold your hands and have you close. it feels right, y’know??

his hands are warm and heavy too, in that, jiro doesn't quite know the limits of his own strength. he just knows that he likes to hold you tight and close! so sometimes, he may squeeze your hand too much, and you can see the little marks his rings leave behind

but of course, he doesn't mean it! just let him know~

jiro wears his heart on his sleeve, and you pretty much hold it in your hands oh so sweet. when you give his hand a little squeeze, you can see the way his heart skips a beat with the way he gets visibly flustered. eyes a little wide, lips slightly parted; it’s as if you’re squeezed the love out of his heart too, with the way he gets all shy, covering himself with the hood of his cap and gazing off to the side. but, he always does give a squeeze back, tighter than yours

his knuckles are cracked and a little bruised from the one too many fist fights he gets himself in; and they're probably covered in bandages from all the scratches he's accrued from chasing after that damn neighbor's cat (dogs and cats don't get along, after all)

when you hold hands, your fingers brush over all the bandages he wears and the wounds that still sting. they’re not very pretty, but they’re jiro’s

but even as much as the isopropyl stings at his wounds, and jiro cringes as you scold him for needing to be more careful and use his head for once, jiro thinks he’ll always love it when you bandage his wounds

you hold his fingers so gentle in your hands, with so much love and care. jiro’s gaze softens, and his heart beat rings in his ears, as he lets you tend to his wounds. he watches you like a dream, perhaps a little too wistful. and there’s nothing better in this world, he thinks, than when you finish up and give him a quick peck to his lips

the way you tend to his wounds, hold his bandaged and bruised hands so tenderly in yours. they’re smaller than his and much prettier too — complete polar opposites. but somehow, someway, your hands look good together

maybe he can get used to it.. (even at the cost of alcohol stings)

Here's some of my concept art and sketches for the Vollema demo (which you can check out on Steam right now) and the first area of the full game. Some of these (like the enemy designs) were actually from at least a few months before I even started development, when i was just playing around with potential creature designs for stuff.

I also found everybody's terrifying original dialogue portrait sketches, which I'd long since forgotten about.

[Shudders]

There's more for every section of the game, but since the vast majority of them contain story and character spoilers, I'll hold off on posting most of them until after the full game is out and people have had a chance to play it.

Revolutionary save me I’ve made the Pinterest board for all of my signalis blorbos

Perhaps this is hell

[morrysonando]

I know that after the last post where I drew fanart of Shadok's persona I said I'd wait on making more shadok fanart till after the new Loveweb about tf2 came out to celebrate.... HOWEVER!!!!!....In light of the recent resurgence of #SaveTF2 I decided to draw this to do my part in bringing awareness to it (if I'm not too late at this point lmao)...and cuz I though this fit idk... and add to the amount of images I've drawn in relation to Lovewebs TF2 episode cuz I love both of these things, but one of them is in danger (again) and needs help! you don't have to take me seriously when I say this (I'm just a silly new artists on the internet, my word is not gospel) but if valve responds, I highly encourage that we don't stop until **real** action is taken, none of that half-assed crap from before, we wouldn't be doing this again if not for the fact that despite all our efforts, we failed last time by being complacent. Let's do it right this time guys! (of course still be civil about it though, you know how these protests go, keep it peaceful!)

hello; i just wanted to say i respect you immensely for the resources you publish on a daily basis. i'm sure you have your own motivations for doing so, but if it ever becomes hard for you to manage, please take some time to care for yourself and your health. you are far more important than i feel you give yourself credit for.

You are so sweet, dear Anon. No worries, though! About +90% of my posts on this blog are now queued. It seems like I'm always on here, but I'm not. Usually you can tell I'm here when I answer replies on posts, or messages like this. But sometimes these are queued too. Or is it.

marker cap wip ^_^

The 6B pencil brush goes soooo hard and I somehow forgot about its awesomeness. And I gotta admit, it did make Mark Knopfler look somewhat better.
