MORE ST5 LEAKS AND INFORMATION (AFTER FEBRUARY)
Hey... I’m back. Recently my ST5 leaks from May blew up on Twitter, so I figured I could put all of my Asks here. There are unreleased photos of the characters and set available in the ENG Minou server, but they will posted on Tumblr and Twitter in a separate post to make it easier to access. In the meantime I hope this interests you, too.
I saw an account on Twitter posting a leaked photo with the synpsis of the first episode of ST5. It said “Chapter One: The Crawl. Hawkins is under quarantine after the Upside Down events. Our heroes hide from the government, still plotting a capture, when an unexpected event destabilizes the team. Steve and Robin take over the new radio station, buzzing with odd mysteries, as a new face shows up in town.”
Fake.
the bar “leak” about will talking to a young, caucasian guy with a mustache… is that legit? i’m cringing just thinking about it, but the milevens seem to be very happy and are taking this as a win, so.
I can confirm there is a character who talks to Will at the bar. There is no stable answer for the gender and appearance of the character, last time I checked. This leak is old and only based on residents and staff near the area of filming, who caught glimpses of the scene.
ok i'll bite wdym by the field kiss
There is a kissing scene between Mike and Eleven. It is NOT on the baseball/softball field, it is on a field near the radio station. People blew it out of proportion, but it was confirmed as being real around the same time that my original May leaks were gathered, and is still true as of January.
It looks like I’m an exception here because I care more about the plot and family dynamics than ships. Do you know anything about what’s going on with Henry/Linda’s character/ upside down flashbacks ?
Henry is using new methods of sensory and mental illusion to keep track of his victims. No more of what we saw in ST4, and music does not work as it usually would. Key words to keep in mind: flashbacks, « false flashbacks », visions, beliefs, and control. For some characters there is a larger tilt toward one of these 5. For most of the season he is pursuing Holly by pretending to be a new, troubled resident of Hawkins and requiring her assistance. He causes the death of Ted in front of her. Derek, Erica and Karen join the investigation into these interactions and Holly's disappearance. Will begins to be pursued when Mike, Dustin and Lucas start a separate investigation. It is as if he is a child again, and the only reason we know it is a false flashback is because it blends with reality. This is especially true for a tree Will falls from: visually, it switches. Henry becomes more attached to the real world the longer that the Upside Down remains exposed to Hawkins, and the longer that he pursues residents. There are multiple sicknesses and attacks from the Upside Down. After a certain point he fully reveals himself as Vecna and kills the majority of the military team who were maintaining the quarantine zone of Hawkins and stunting the main cast.
Tell us 👹 Also do you have info on the Hopper x Mike talk? Sorry if Im being annoying I just didn't have a good day lol
It's a sad conversation, but also positive. Maybe bittersweet is the word. It was based on a loss or something similar that impacted both characters, but more Mike, and he makes a sarcastic or joking comment to Hopper about having hope and confidence in something related to it.
Do you know if the whole Holly is the Cleric Mike was talking about thing is true, and if Mike+Will+Holly spend time together?
The figure theories are correct, Mike was referring to a Dungeons and Dragons character meant to represent and protect Holly. That name and quote were taken directly from the graphic database, meaning that, if they were approved by the Duffer brothers and additional crew, they would have been featured together in promotional material and goods for VOL 1 October and November releases.
Based on what you know so far, were the Duffers telling the truth that the new season would have a focus on Will’s character? Or were they overselling it? Thank you!
Yes.
Any hints at what Henry wanted/wants Will for? What does he “build”?
Fire.
Is there more to Karen wheeler? There's been so many theories on this lady she's interesting
Yes.
hii, do you have any info on that “Secret ‘Red Rock’ set” they built behind the radio station? A paparazzo mentioned they might have filmed some military scenes there but idk. It's ok if you can't answer
The military filming was in the general area, not that set specifically. Security was too tight for anybody to have seen what went on in the desert (« red rock »). It wasn't a secret, it was just located in the forest near WSQK and they did not want to test their luck. I agree with the paparazzi and locals in it being either a flashback or Upside Down-related shoot.
Do you have any leaks about the older teenagers/young adults (Nancy, Jonathan, Steve Robin)? I heard Robin and Steve are running the radio station or something like that but that's it.
Steve does not pursue Nancy. Nancy and Jonathan continue to date. Dustin is independent from Steve and Robin for the first half of ST5 as far as we guess, spending most of that time with Mike, Will and Lucas in their investigation. Robin is the main host of WSQK 94.5 FM: The Squawk. There are two 97P25J3 company vehicle models that they use and transport between sets, and in universe the older teens enter the Upside Down through them or are part of the plan in doing so. Specifically Jonathan and Steve with Dustin joining them. The Turnbow family of Realtors own multiple pieces of land in Hawkins, including the WSQK radio station and tower. There is a character who seeks temporary refuge in the WSQK radio station. The equipment in the WSQK radio station and vehicle is used to intercept Hawkins Laboratory and government communication, but they are unaware that it was detected and tracked to their location. This equipment is also considered for use in sharing pieces of information between the Upside Down and the real world. The WSQK radio station is raided.
Ok so I'm probably way off here but I think they may use time travel not to change timelines but to discover things they need to know ie somehow going back and watching wills vanishing for example. Or vecna actually taking them back through memories? Yeah I'm so wrong right
The Upside Down is an alternative reality that captures a moment from time and preserves it, because there are little to no things present to disrupt how things were in that moment. Specifically humans and their fragments in the environment. Think how our own reality works. Everything is linear. Things happen because we as humans cause them to happen. This is exactly what the Upside Down is, the only difference being there wasn't any humans to cause things to happen, until Will Byers was sent. Therefore is not possible to change that alternate reality in a way that resets time. If you can't do it here, you can't do it there. Vecna is not the exception to this. He does not cause any sort of time travelling, he is only giving characters that feeling through flashbacks, visions, nightmares and whatnot. It's not something they are controlling or wanting to do to try and win, it's something that is forced onto them to try and weaken their personhood. This is his new method.
Do you know anything about where Joyce, Will and Jonathan are living in season 5? People think Will might be staying over at Mike’s in episode 1
Wheeler residence.
Haha, I think you'd be doing the shipping fandom a favor. Because i think it's gonna be anti climatic regarding what's actually canon in the show, compared to fan fic, some want to be canon. I'm actually interested in who may die ( if anyone ) because I did see on x that apparently there's a fake sacrifice👀
Close to or more than the amount in Season 3 if you count the Flayed. However most of these deaths we see are people part of the government and local community. Ted dies near the beginning and there is a fake but impactful death plot near the end of ST5. The potential of Max, Will, Holly and Karen dying is brought up frequently, as well as a character that experiences an attack on their midsection, but this is a minor issue in the plot and they heal.
Pls sir may I have some more Will info? Anything 🥺
Birds are notorious for not displaying symptoms of illness. They need to be kept away from the rest of the flock, typically in a room that has disconnected air circulation and frequently cleaned caregivers. Many contributors to this, including travel-related stress, can worsen their condition by the simple fact that, while kept away, they hear the flock but are unable to interact with it. Birds yearn for the connection and they yearn for the help, but their biology does not allow them to display it, and the individuals observing are not able to properly translate that. It is lost between two species without adaptation and a learned understanding of their different behaviours, and this can then be mistaken as aggression or fear. Rather it is the attempt to maintain their own integrity in moments of sensitivity.
Hi, thanks for answering our questions btw! I'm unaware if you know the stage play. I know it's not officially canon in the duffers story. But will anything be used in the series from the play? Because in the play Henry went to dimension x and his blood changed in the play due to particle exposure. And I feel they could use this to explain wills time there with the blood change in the series. It's meant to link to the use of powers from the particles changing their blood. Sorry you may not know about that. Just curious. Thanks anyway!
The VR game has a lot more similarities to ST5 than the play. However neither of them are compulsory to experience for understanding the plot.
the leak about will having a love interest (that’s not mike) came out waaay before they shot the bar scene with him. so, i’m just wondering where the love interest leak even came from since it’s not referring to the bar leak… or was it entirely made up? i’m still confused about it which is why i’m asking you.
So-so.
last thing! please tell me the chance x will (bychance) stuff is just people being silly and that there’s nothing happening there. will’s love interest being some npc jock… i can’t see it. it’s so wild to me 😭
Fake.
Who is Mr.Miller?
Mr. Miller is a high ranking officer part of the American military and stationed in Hawkins to oversee INDIGO and other subprograms under MKUltra.
Oh, I just had an insight that the military lab might be underground beneath the destroyed downtown Hawkins (I’m delusional)
While there is a new laboratory and the INDIGO subprogram of MKUltra is still continuing in ST5, it's not to the same scale as previous seasons and it is not in the same manner as the Rainbow Room. I highly suggest looking at the first PDF leak for graphics, because there is a full map of Hawkins: what I can tell you is that the laboratory may or may not be in the path of the UD cracks and tunnels.
hii, do u know if the leak about khali coming back is true?
So-so.

Half a request half not(???) Idk but I was so hyped when I saw that you also write for GOTG bc Starlord is my everything bro oml, he seems like such the wet and pathetic type, especially pre volume1 when he was on like, space tinder basically, he just SEEMED like the type to try and charm you only to fuck it up somewhere and fall in love after a one night stand
(tw: reader is implied to be older then peter because hes a milf hunter because i said so, sue me)
anon our wedding’s booked for october because you get it. you see the vision. you understand the loser energy that pre-vol.1 starlord radiated from every pore. the type of man who’d call himself legendary outlaw like it wasn’t the saddest thing you’d ever heard in your life. the type to strike out on space tinder, send weird half-nude holo pics with captions like u up? ;) at completely inappropriate times, and genuinely think it was charming.
and of course — of course — it happens like this
some nowhere planet whose name you never bothered to learn, overcrowded bar reeking of alien sweat and something sweetly chemical. you’re already annoyed, already clocked the age difference when he sauntered over with that cocky grin, with his 'hey, haven’t seen you around before' opener like he didn’t just say that to three different women ten minutes ago.
but there’s something about him. the kind of pathetic you can’t look away from. like a stray animal with too much bravado and not enough brain cells. and you can smell the mommy issues on him before he even opens his mouth.
he talks and talks and talks. about himself, about some planet shaped like a potato, about a song you’ve never heard of but that he swears would totally blow your mind. you can’t get a word in because he doesn’t actually want to hear you. he just wants an audience. and for some reason — probably the drink, probably boredom, probably that sad little glimmer in his eyes when he thinks you’re about to leave — you let him.
and it happens fast. sloppily. clothes half-on, half-off. he’s a little desperate, like he’s got something to prove, hands everywhere, mouth clumsy, talking too much in between like 'fuck, you’re so hot' and 'shit, im gonna marry you' and you roll your eyes so hard it hurts. you tell yourself it’s a one-time thing. a pity fuck. you’re gonna forget his name in the morning.
except you don’t.
because he doesn’t leave.
you wake up and he’s still there. half-sprawled across your chest, one arm slung heavy over your stomach, lips lazily wraped around your nipple like it’s his goddamn pacifier. and when you shift, when you try to wriggle out from under him, he hums against your skin and murmurs something about Zandar 5 being the best place for fried Neraki eggs, no really, you’d love it.
he doesn’t shut up. not even when you glare at him, not even when you tell him you’ve got somewhere to be. he just looks up at you with that stupid, boyish grin and says 'c’mon, sweetheart, don’t be like that — last night was amazing, right? we got chemistry, you and me.'
you argue. of course you argue. tell him it was a fluke, a mistake, tell him you don’t date younger guys and you especially don’t date drifters with commitment issues and delusions of grandeur. he pouts. actually pouts. big sad eyes, hair sticking up in every direction, lower lip pushed out like a kid being told no candy before dinner.
and somehow you end up back in bed.
it’s not even sex this time. just limbs tangled together, his head heavy on your chest, his fingers tracing lazy circles on your hip while he rambles about some obscure alien movie you don’t give a shit about. you try to pretend you’re annoyed. you tell yourself you’re not keeping him around because it’s kind of nice. that pathetic little whine he makes when you tug his hair, the way his eyes light up when you laugh, like it’s the best thing he’s ever heard.
he promises he’ll leave tomorrow.
he doesn’t

Sensei posted the shading process for the vol 5 back cover on YouTube and man i love these four soo bad

Sasakagi being awkward and stupid HOLY shit man it makes me so giddy. Like Kagiura looks SOOO cute and Sasaki looks so pitiful here. And they wary side eye. Bro im crying. I love them so bad i miss them. I need them to interact again im begging. Kagiura left him a grad message and thanked him FOR WHATTTT. And Sasaki was like "um. Good luck" iirc I NEED TO KNOW WHY. INTERACT AGAIN PLEASEEEE SOSNDJKD PLEASE.
Okay im sorry I cant get over the body language. The holding the arm thing. Kagiura youre so cute. Like that nervous gesture of pulling limbs into yourself. This 190cm athlete feeling and trying to look so small beside his crush's friend, who doesnt even remember his name. Except he's also kind put off by him too, probably feeling the vibe. His posture is as it usually would be but it also looks a little tense and awkward. DUDE. Both sweating and staring at each other, slightly turned away but not entirely, and just being sooo awkward. My guy.
And how their jackets fit on them too. Sasaki's looks so baggy while Kagiura's fits pretty well. Its a very subtle way to show their size difference (fat/muscle). Also the VERY SMALL height difference. I will cling onto those few centimeters like my life depends on it. Good gracious I am falling onto the floor. Can you guess that I've been thinking about sskg again lately because I have. Come home to me....
Okay now hiranose being entirely opposite vibes because theyre actually so cool with each other. All smiles and good times. Yes thats my ex roommate and yes I might be a little conscious of him and his new roommate he is totally in love with and that I've grown quite fond of we are Great. (I can see why you love him really <- ichinose probably) errmmm anyway and here he is partaking in both their "hobbies" or inclinations if you will. They're both really good at studying. Both really smart and very self disciplined (ichinose needed some help with that but he got it).
What really gets me here though is that Hirano is holding a basketball and while this is me looking into it way too much its so funny how even in the cover when Ichinose and Hirano are put together Hirano is still somehow being "affected" by Kagiura. Like yes thats my ex roommate yes I'm a little stumped on where all this love for his new roommate comes from. And here he comes holding a reminder of said roommate/love when hes with me, while im carrying something we can both relate to, to some degree. Look at all those sticky notes man hes SERIOUS and hirano can appreciate that of course!! But you know. What are we but a reflection of what we love and those that love us amiright?
What also gets me about this entire art is Ichinose’s ass having graduated and he's still here. Hes actualy so funny bro you just got thay diploma and you back 😭
Anywyahfuejd I really love these four yall they make me sick (affectionate). I think they all should kiss whaaaat who said that
#in all seriousness though id like to add that#i watched sensei shade these characters and felt both immense satisfaction and burning jealousy#how does one do that#her coloring and shading is impeccable#and art in general#she has body language and everything and fluid motion and posture down pat#its nto even funny i need to LOCK THE FUCK IN#also the subtle texture really eats i love that#shes my biggest art inspo by far#what a beautifully drawn manga man#but yeah ummm#sasakagi amiright#i miss yhem so bad plrashejeje#i need to make art of them#im currently writing them but its not enough#i need em in my bloodstream#and hiranose just takes over my brain like#an infestation no hesitation are we even real#im jus sayin like#another sskg interaction could solve everything#sskg = groundbreaking quantum physics discover and ohh my god they both arent that big on studying are they#sskg study date WHEN#HIRANOSE STUDY DATE WHEN?#SASAKAGIHIRANOSE STUDY DATE WH— *shot&#goodnight.#hirano to kagiura#sasakagi#hiranose

NOT TO SUDDENLY DROP THIS AT 12AM BUT i feel like infodumping about my mcu insert so.. HERE YOU GO LUCKY RABBIT LORE DUMP!! Be warned it might be a lot 😔
so ofc i don’t have powers because i always felt like giving myself powers bordered on oc territory so i have a bo staff instead :))
as for lore in the mcu i’m first introduced as a shield agent in training and i’m relatively always around steve like a lost puppy (or in this case bunny!)- when steve gets ambushed by hydra i join him no questions asked and im pretty much there helping him/sam/natasha fight the whole movie!!
then we go onto age of ultron/civil war where i actively participate (and yes i’m on team steve sue me) but it’s the inbetween that matters since i went off on my own and found bucky in romania. tldr i always felt like we had a connection after ca/tws so i manage to get him to warm up to me and i occasionally return to him with food/neccessities! but after ca:cw i become a fugitive with steve and the gang and join them on their ventures while occasionally visiting bucky in wakanda when i can!
avengers infinity war + endgame is pretty typical @ staying with steve’s faction the whole time + watching bucky get blipped since I dont ☹️ during the 5 year gap i imagine i still do hero-work and become friends with nebula + rocket. And i imagine at that point natasha or i find out i’m related to bucky (bcuz of his sister/maybe im like her great grandaughter or something i dunno) SO IM 💔 the only family i’ve got is gone. yada yada thanos battle happens AND YAYY MY UNC IS BACK!
FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER IS WHERE IT GETS JUICY!!! surpriseee i knew john walker in high school and we we’re pretty much crushing on each other/maybe even dating for a short time(?) until i got early graduation due to my shield job 😔 thus having him move on to olivia even tho he always yearned for me. SO THAT REUNION AT HIS CAPTAIN AMERICA INTERVIEW AT THE FOOTBALL FIELD OF OUR OLD HIGH SCHOOL IS AWKWARD!!! i mostly roll with bucky and sam the whole time while john urges me to help him but i can’t leave my unc.. anyways THE THING JOHN DID HAPPENED. i’m stuck in the middle of what to do and i visit him after his court hearing only for him to grovel at my knees and suggest running away together AND IM LIKE ????? bcuz as good as that sounds i gotta be a rational bun and not enable THAT. so i gotta seperate myself from him for a longgg while/the last we see each other is the ending fight scene and it’s a silent goodbye/see you later..
Far from home/guardians vol 3 are kinda like filler epidodes bcuz i got to chaparone peter’s field trip to distract myself from being sad about walker only to almost get into a toxic relationship with mysterio/quentin beck! ofc he’s defeated but it very much leaves emotional damage.. THEN the gotg holiday special happens and that’s when i find out walker and his wife are expecting a baby SO IM ABOUT TO CRASH OUT Until I get a knock on my door from mantis and drax who need my help traversing rural LA! Ofc i accept, hijinks ensue and i eventually get returned home by nebula but she can tell i’m hesitating and can tell i seemed happier with them SO SHE SUGGESTS IF I WANNA JOIN THEM FOR A WHILE AND IM LIKE PLEASE!!! i say my lil ‘see you later’ to bucky since i imagine im staying with him and he’s so the one who gives the mcu dialogue saying “i need Space” (get it bcuz GOING TO SPACE) Anyways im there on the side in Vol 3 and return home when Peter Quill goes back to earth at the end and me and bucky do our little catching up :))
THUNDERBOLTS IS WHAT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!! I decide it’s finally a good time to reconnect with Walker and so we do And i can already tell something is up with him and I track his phone down to track him to the Vault. (Since i’d ofc not associate myself w Valentina) Vault events ensue and I’m still under the belief Walker is married (the dumb unaware bun) Until we get to the gas station scene where Bucky says what he says about Walker’s wife leaving with his kid AND I JUST PUT MYSELF IN YELENAS PLACE JUST THIS ONCE BCUZ I NEED HIM TO LOOK AT ME W THAT SAD LOOK BAD!!! I imagine I get a little >:/ at bucky for not telling me he knew that info about John, but i understand because he cares about me and doesn’t want Walker to hurt me again (uncle moment..). Sentry fight happens and we’re outside the tower/yelena calls everyone out/so it’s just me, walker and bucky outside the tower #awkward and i ask him why he didn’t tell me about olivia and he hits me with "...Telling my ex that my wife left is the last thing that comes to mind when I think of things I can do." (I stole this from lola my goat who wrote this John bar..) and him telling me to just go since everyone else seemingly left. THEN VOID APPEARS AND VOID ROOM MADNESS BEGINS i had a cool idea of our rooms connecting like that one part in it chapter 2 w ben and beverly’s fear rooms ehhehe i havent decided how that’d go yet but i imagine he sees one of my fear rooms being about mysterio.. i see his having one with lemar in it.. and maybe the last one is our last meeting together… HURTING EACH OTHER WAS ONE OF OUR BIGGEST REGRETS!!!!!! anyways we get free, help bob, group hug and unintentionally become new avengers!!! then maybee theres implications we end up together in the post credit scene via me stealing his beret and being X)
CONGRATS YOU GUYS READ MY ESSAY JUST TO BE ANNOYING ABOUT ME X WALKER!!!! im sorry to anybody who read all that i usually hate typing/lore dumping this much But i felt inspired to share hehehehe
#yea im posting this late idgaf anymore#self ship#self ship community#f/o community#self shipping#s/i x canon#s/i x f/o#self insert x canon#self insert x fictional other#john walker#us agent#idgaf might as well use his tag ..#🛼 lucky rabbit#hehehe ig ill have an insert tag

pretty minor thing to think about, but i find it interesting how chapter 7 is the first chapter illustration to show chizuutan as chizuru (instead of chuutan)






like, i get it’s a flashback chapter, but we hardly got to see her as chizuru in the previous few chapters thus far… maybe we’ll get to see more of her as her true self after the hiyori fight/make up? only future chapters may tell, i guess…
#there’s like 5 weeks to go till chapter 6 is released into the rest of the world and i m n o t r e a d y—#man. chapter 5 still manages to ruin my mood no matter how many times i read it… man.#i was having so much fun with renren and concon and the 3 stooges and th e n.#imagine putting on a (somewhat) perfect/cute act to hide your true self because you know you’re unlovable the way you are#but then someone else runs along and screws up every step of the way without putting on any airs and is adored for it anyway…#i imagine chapter 6 will be much worse. especially since the start of the flashback begins there…#i sincerely hope the flashback ends in chapter 7 bc aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#though. considering where we are now in the series. i think there’s a chance that vol 2 will come out at the end of december#ch 8 will prolly start to drop somewhere around the later half of november so it seems about right…#b u t if there’s the preorder bonus manga for vol 2 in dec can we have santa girl chuutan in it p l s—#i think we’ll need an incredibly cute bonus feature to lift the mood from whatever the heck’s going on with vol 2’s chapters#bc. idk. im sensing some self hatred with this one chizuchan… it’s as though she can only love herself if she’s dolled up as chuutan…#like. even in her aizo self-insert delusions she’s thinking of herself as chuutan… maybe im reading too much into this. hm.#but then again she even puts on makeup when she’s at home in her own room…#w a i t a sec what if this wack behaviour only came about bc of what’s about to be revealed in the flashbacks. wait. no. w h a t if—#i hope manga chizuchan will be able to love herself properly soon… we all love you chizuchan~~~~~~~~~~#this. too. is our oshi no—#dammit why is something set in the same universe as the [redacted] anime making me feel things??? i hate itttttttttt#anyways. wh. what if one of the h10w turns out to be an anime adaptation of the chizuchan manga#and they’re just waiting on. like. the final vol to announce it.#it’d make the most sense for an anime series at this point… since chizuchan is marketable and it’s set in the same anime verse#so there’s no inconsistencies to retcon and such…#but!!!! most importantly!!!!!! we’d be able to see animated renren and concon!!!!!!!#…but something like this will only appear in my delusions huh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#mousou dake no kawaikute gomen anime#ok that’s enough thinking for the day; back to kimikawaii mv g o o d b y e~~~~#chizuutan chizpost

Your favourite scene of Solitaire and your favorite scene in heartstopper
favorite scene in solitaire (this is difficult bcs i have so many) but one of them is when sprolden are playing in the snow together, chase each other around the school then play the chair game in the common room then fall asleep together :,)
not sure if u wanted tv or comic so im gonna do both. the scene in s3 when tao films nick to say something to charlie then nick imagines charlie infront of him. idk it just gives me the chills i love it.
in the comic is (this isn’t surprising) literally the whole bit from vol 5 when michael is doing his big speech about labels at the school fete and tori coming out. literally that wholeee bit. best update ever. :)

since i've spent the past few days essentially staring at nothing but natsuyuu volume covers i thought it'd be so fun and silly to try and redraw them all from memory tee hee. all 30 (thirty) (三十) of them!!! wheee!!!!
i haven't actually looked at them next to the originals yet so guess what time it is!!!! LET'S COMPARE
starting with volume 1. iconic. show stopping. masterpiece. the mona lisa of natsuyuu SURELY i reproduced every single detail perfectly such that it kickstarts my career as a forgery artist RIGHT
well feast ur eyes


(im using the english volumes for comparison btw they have a good clear view of the art)
CAN U TELL WHICH IS WHICH OOO THEYRE SO ALIKE BET U CANT!!! SPOT THE DIFFERENCE LEVEL 1000 WHICH ONE DO U SHOOT
all i remembered for this one was GREEN and it's not even the right shade of green ajgosugdjfkdgj i even made the fuckin. what do u call it. i'll just say yukata??? I MADE IT GREEN AND ITS SUPPOSED TO BE RED i stg if u held a gun to my head & asked if there was any red on vol 1 i'd be DEAD
but i remembered the book of friends is like. weirdly purple? ok well in this pic it looks p gray BUT ON OTHER COPIES...... IF U UP THE SATURATION GKSJKDNFKDG
why is nyanko sensei smack dab in the middle HUH i couldve sworn he was bottom left this is so fucked up and scary. haunted manga volume??????? i bought it from a grarage sale idk you guys-
at least natsume's pose is like kind of right but also that's most definitely a complete accident i can ASSURE u (im rereading this the next day and the pose isnt even CLOSE what are u TALKING ABOUT)
anyway can i just fucking point out the kanji on the book of friends bc that is from MEMORY YEEHAW here's what it's Supposed to look like: 友人帳
LIKE even tho i got the last one wrong ITS LIKE STILL PRETTY CLOSE??? i think i deserve 100 points for this objectively
MOVING ON THO....


OK NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT SURPRISINGLY im actually like. i thought i bombed this one completely but liKE THE COMPOSITION??? KIND OF ON POINT. KIND OF GENIUS TBH
i remembered Blue and Madara and like what else do u need rly. butterflies are optional in all scenarios imo
also i NEVER have any idea what natsume's wearing in any of these so i always just like default throw him into his school uniform LMAO u will see a pattern
why is the book of friends burgundy in this one btw. it was GRAY i mean purple definitely purple aha
ok volume 3 im actually scared for i know i fucked up SOMETHING


HGLKFKGLKFKGFN OK!!!!! OK NOT SUPER AWFUL!!!! just noticed i forgor to color the book of friends fukg
main thing i remembered abt this one was the color of natsume's... attire.... and which characters were present. whats sensei doing all the way up in the top corner tho 0/10
return of the school uniform lmaooooo hm. irrelevant who cares plus didnt ask. all things considered this wasn't as bad as i thought. THE NEXT ONE HOWEVER,


hsngjfgnfjn okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
sensei's way cuter in this one than i realized wait wtf this cover's cute af how did i never notice. underrated cover -10 @ me. look at his lil BLEP >:O!!!!!!!
i knew there was some fuckshit going on w the yukata in this one ourhg i was just like hehe greeennnn also sensei's there. my work here is done
what is natsume's pose even hgnkg i was straight up making shit up at this point LIKE the first 6 or so covers are SO hard for me to distinguish in my head i should get a free pass for the poses in all of them like i can do whatever i want IM the artist now
oh god whats next vol 5


OK!!!! like a straight 5/10 TBH i literally forgot i was planning on rating these LMAO
i remembered the like white v-neck shirt thing and his pose kind of??? i had NO idea what to do for the yukata tho i just made it orange and u know what?? close enough. my rule of thumb is just like pick a color and then throw flowers all over it u cant go wrong
taki looks so much more mysterious on the original and also wearing a skirt. i gave her a big stick bc i thought i remembered her having one in general but i think i made that up tbh wouldn't put it past me. got her hat right tho hee haw
cant believe i didn't get natsume's beautiful artwork tho look at that little shit sensei up there god hes so ROUMD literally moma material


PROBABLY my best one yet uhhhh but i maybe cheated JUST a little for this one ITS LIKE BARELY CHEATING STOP BOOING ME
as i was toying w the idea of doing this redraw thing i was still working on collecting my Images and Pictures so i kinda started taking note of a few small things here & there and one of them was just. the general gist of this cover SO LIKE that's why it's so good LOL
forgor the flowers tho. i literally forget everything that isn't a character like immediately BUT OK CUT ME SOME SLACK like after a point the covers start being whole ass scenes which are SO much easier to remember shit abt than the fuckin Green Void (p sure this is the last green void cover tho)
8/10 composition is gr8 but details like the shirt & the yellow flowers are wrong, also the stick is backwards. i literally looked up what that thing is called and forgot already tee hee


OK WE'RE NOT DONE W THE GREEN VOID I REPEAT-
fuck dude. fuck. i rly thought vol 6 was the last one LOL not to spoil but as i was grabbing these images i saw a Preview of what's to come and the green void lasts until fuckign volume TEN LOL collapses onto the ground and dies
so erhermrm this is vol 7 lolllll i remembered the bg flowers this time can u believe hahaha distracts u from the fact that LITERALLY everything else is wrong auhghg
u know what the green void turned into bushes and i think that's beautiful.... like points for creativity on my part tbh. like to be completely honest. 3/10 i got the characters right


YO????? GATE CONFIRMED LET'S GO?????? it's definitely the school gate but i choose to believe natsume & tanuma r in jail for crimes and u should too
actually this is shockingly accurate for how much i goddamn struggled w this one gkjsldkg the CHARACTERS are right the OUTFITS are right SENSEI'S THERE urgh i knew one of these covers had tanuma holding sensei like that but i couldn't remember Which
i can't believe i actually got tanuma's pose that close i rly thought i was bullshitting w that one wtf. +5 points instantly
do u like how i just scribbled sensei wherever lmaoooo i drew natsume & tanuma & went like. i think sensei's in this one. PLOP
6/10 honestly closer than i thought


OK........ I SEE........ literally dies
this one i was getting MASSIVELY confused w vol 4 bc i could remember nothing distinct abt either of them except Green and natsume w Big Doggie
i remembered the BARE essentials of the composition but not much else... since i thought the green void was gone i put the green i remembered into natsume's yukata (and then put him in the school uniform again LOL) and went WELP. GUESS I'LL DIE NOW
2/10 honestly one of the worst fucking ones lskdjflsdkg


OK THIS ONE.... i almost died irl trying to remember this shit, even before i started and i was still viewing the covers i was like there is no way in HELL im remembering this shit for vol 10. and i was right
like. Purple. White Mask. Antlers. WILD layered clothing. at first i drew the mask as an actual deer skull but later had a straight up epiphany and redrew it like that which... still not correct but I MEAN.... IT'S PRETTY GOOD
i cant believe most of the purple is the bg oughgh his clothes are WHITE..... this is fucked up. i DID remember the stick tho, bells and everything!! actually bells and nothing else!!!
7/10 ok it might seem high but CONSIDERING this design..... i think i did shockingly well TBH


NOT...... the worst...... one....... i could've sworn he was sitting on a pile of books this is so sad that woulda been so cute 😭
for a second when i saw the real cover again i thought he was sitting ON the bookshelf and i was about to RIOT but its okay it's a step stool. still physically possible
my version of natsume here is so much more like Proper gksld he looks like a school boy... studying in the academy's library... hardworking student.... but no the real one is just sitting there like a wet puppy orz he's not even READING i rly thought he was reading. this is such a huge L
cannot fucking believe i was right abt the window tho. like wrong shape but the fact that it's even there.... giving myself a whole ass point for that one
5/10 i rly thought i nailed this one gksgndfkj
also RIP TO THE GREEN VOID U WILL NOT BE MISSED o7


ah shit ok. well one of them was in the school uniform at least fjgugjdkf
why is my natsume lying there like hes abt to start a therapy session, boy would NEVER-
also the plushie hmnmhnmhngnf i dont KNOW i knew there was some kind of prop there but like gun to my head i woulda died again. main colors that stood out to me for this were green and that bluish purple so i got those into mine but i mean. well u can see
once again a random window in the bg i got correct let's gooooo 5/10


LMAO SPITS OUT MY DRINK WHOOPSIE!!!!!!
this is so fucking bad im choking im gurgling LOLLLL i was SO sure natsume's paper had an eye on it i was POSITIVE this is so fucked up. i mean obvs i picked that up from sensei but like i didn't even KNOW sensei was there. or that there were bg characters at all uuuuuououohghh (matoba ignored +5)
i was like. black yukata red flowers CHECK piece of paper w eye CHECK horns CHECK i even went back and edited the horns to be more accurate i was so proud of myself sobs
ok but i knew it was shit trasjh when those were the ONLY details i could remember bc obviously there was gonna be more going on I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH MORE.....
straight up dookie/10 no jk fr like 3/10 @ me u need to use ur EYES


OK..... I WAS VERY CONFIDENT ABT THIS ONE..... except for his outfit i knew i was bullshitting that BUT I THOUGHT I NAILED THIS ONE....... the one fucking time i didn't just default to his uniform LMFAO
even remembered the pink flower ball smh and for WHAT. i knew he was sitting in a pile of plushies & blankets or smth but no way in HELL was i even gonna attempt to draw them with a speck of detail. but HEY the plushie i drew for vol 12!!! i knew he existed Somewhere. he doesn't even have a horn tho thats so fucked up i thought he did
obviously the most striking thing abt this cover is the bg w that deep burgundy & the circular window so that was the main thing i nailed down right away (my palette was more muted tho). also natsume sitting there w paper in his mouth but i thought he was mid return when rly hes playing like keep-the-balloon-off-the-floor or whatever the fuck he's doing. i love u natsume
(if i thought he was in the middle of returning a name WHY didn't i include the actual book of friends flksglkd automatic fake fan/10)
8/10 this was like my ace in the hole i was like if i got nothing else i got U volume 14!!! and then


NOT THE FAMILY PHOTO......... FUCKING DIES
man idk shit just end me. whats even going on in this cover im gonna deck u natori. dont ask why this makes me want to commit violence hes just so. URHGHGHnH
i dont know whats happening to me rn looking at this im losing my fucking grip dude who let this happen im gonna hurl this volume into the sun??? i think???
why did i add the other two youkai i just thought they should be included but i played myself i had to draw them from memory and for WHAT. pls tell me i got them at least a little bit right i stg
it's the crossed legts dude if he was just sitting there like a board the way i drew him id be like ah shit it was just natori sitting not natsume too but he just HAS to cross his legs and the fucing elbow propped up holding the glasses im S MAD IM SO MADdestroy him
it's 1am i gotta go. i have to go. right now my mom is calling me i have to fukcng. 4/10 i got the couch colorr right. bye
---
tumglr...... only allows 30 pictures per post..... bc im not on desktop? or is that a site-wide thing now. in any case this is getting long so i think im gonna split it right down the middle into 2 posts so there u go, first 15 volumes. so far my score is ermmm
well i didn't rate the first few volumes.
vol 1: 6/10 decent
vol 2: 6/10 also decent
vol 3: 5/10 composition is Scramboled
vol 4: 2/10 it's SO BAD
so now my overall score is 74/150 fjggudjofjdkgjk doing gr8!!!!!!!!!
ok bye for real ✌️
(part 2!)
#natsume yuujinchou#ny blogging#rieley doodles#retag later#this is me fighting my demons#why did i get so mad at natori at the end kgsndksjdfk#i say yukata a lot in this post but i think the piece of clothing im referring to might actually be haori in most of these cases#i think more ppl know what a yukata is than a haori tho so im just gonna leave it#(haori is the thing that u wear over the yukata. like a. cardigan)

Reading This Week 2025 #21
this may be the latest in the evening i've drafted one of these instead of just deciding to push it to tomorrow
Finished:
Lesbian Decadence: Representations in art and literature of fin-de-siècle France by Nicole G. Albert, translated by Nancy Erber and William Peniston lots of interesting bits of literary history in here and info that me (transmasc lesbian) rub my hands together excitedly about but i have a few hangups about it which are: a) even if in my identity i am chill with the overlap in histories i do still wish the book went a bit into distinguishing lesbian representation and stuff that slides more toward trans male and b) i think maybe if this book took the time to acknowledge or think about transfems we could maybe do some more interesting analysis on one of the "male" authors of decadent lesbian literature who was very clear about thinking women were the most perfect creatures in the world, men were shit, and lesbian love was the best and purest love because it involved only women. just saying.
Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany, narrated by Stefan Rudnicki yyyep bad linguistics in here in the way you think is wholly structured by the language you speak (i think later some linguistics nerds called Delany on this eventually and he went 'yeah i renounce the bad linguistics' which is funny) but the rest is quintessentially Delany. dude loves a big guy who is capable of great intelligence but Something Is Wrong that is currently preventing him from reaching that potential
Blue Box, Vol. 10 by Kouji Miura, translated by Christine Dashiell with the way admiration of someone's sports ability and dedication is functionally synonymous with romantic feelings in this manga, learning about Yumeka feels like learning about Chinatsu's first love and first messy break up, and nothing in the story really contradicts that reading. Yumeka's flashback haircut has big mean lesbian vibes. demi-bi-romantic asexual Chinatsu is canon in my heart
Skip and Loafer, Vol. 5-6 by Misaki Takamatsu, translated by Nicole Frasik I am going to fucking cry about Nao-chan. trans women as mentors and caretakers for children and teenagers gets me right in the fucking heart, she and Mitsumi mean so much to me! and the fact that she is given the narrative room to feel messy grief filled jealousy about Mitsumi getting to live the happy teenage girl high school experience that she was denied while still getting up every morning and being a loving auntie who loves her life and her niece and is working through her grief and trauma is so so good. i am shooting Yuzu and Makoto with my lesbian beam they are girl-best-friending so hard. I continue to be immensely entertained by headcanoning Mika as a gay trans boy egg-i think he thinks he's a straight girl and chalks up how fake and performative his everything about gender and attraction feels to his body image issues and bullied-fat-child trauma
The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 4 by Mokumokuren, translated by Ajani Oloye we move from a vibesy zone into the lore section and im not mad about it! the villages laid out like body parts on the map is chilling as is the sudden encroachment of odd monsters into the daylight and in public
Loveless by Alice Oseman, narrated by Billie Fulford-Brown, with additional bonuc short story narrated by Elizabeyh Schenk and Imogen Church a significantly better YA/new adult experience than i usually have, it does its job, but i remain a YA disliker so it can only do so much for me. read for a book club!
The Word for World Is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin, narrated by John Skelley this may be up there among my favorite Le Guins. very economically written sf story about colonization and indigenous resistance and how even after successfully repelling the settlers the indigenous people are left marked by the violence they were subjected to. really pitch perfect shitty chauvinist settler that is one of the POV characters
Started/Ongoing:
The Oak and Ash by Annick Trent eternal shame, the libby loan expired before i could finish this so im just sitting halfway thru it waiting for the hold line to get back around to me
Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown this book comes with masturbation homework! (and also journaling homework)
