#it’s inspired by komugi

My totally awesome Mey Mey doodle collection.

[trashyvolty]

Lookbook doodles ! (With some hxh characters sprinkled in.....)

[waywardsalt]

not sure if pointing out that the two ships that most influence bellum x linebeck for me are meruem x komugi and benrey x gordon makes it easier or harder to understand

[besiresmith]

Thinking again about the moment Meruem remembers Komugi in the Chimera Ant Arc. Welfin is there to say her name because Ikalgo spared his life and inspired him with his own bravery and loyalty to his friends. Ikalgo was there to spare Welfin because Killua showed him mercy and offered him friendship. Killua was there to spare Ikalgo because Gon offered him friendship and fought to help him get away from his family. The thread of causation stretches back all the way to the start of the series, if you really look for it. And it's like. Komugi was the one to make Meruem reevaluate his worldview on strength and mercy and humanity, to learn care for another being. A nuclear bomb, the pinnacle of human evil, was what made Meruem forget her and everything she symbolised. So the fact there is a tangible line of small acts of human kindness leading to the moment Meruem remembers her again and finally gives up on everything he once stood for... hyori fuckin ittai or something, you know?

[tomatoteddy]

This is SatoIro to me

I honestly find this ship pretty cute but you can’t tell me Komugi wouldn’t be jealous of Iroha suddenly giving Satoru attention. She’d probably be one of those dogs who interrupts their dates because she’s jealous she’s not Iroha’s center of attention.

This is btw inspired by this one Hanamusa art by yamujiboro!

2. Killua gave Gon the Rainbow Diamond (proposal card)

3. Togashi used the main romantic pair from his romcom as inspo for Gon and Killua (Ten De Shōwaru Cupid)

4. Killua has a gay moment in the city of love

6. Togashi possibly used a gay character from Patalliro! (one of his fav gay boy love mangas) as inspiration for Killua

7. Romantic pairs that parallel/inspire/relate to killugon

8. Gon and Killua use romantic dialect with each other (I love you)

9. They added a girl into the plot of the hxh movie then made Gon and Killua GAYER (Phantom Rouge)

10. The anime suspiciously left out the scene of Killua giving Gon the Rainbow Diamond proposal card

11. Out of context killugon manga panels (hxh shojo elements)

12. Mariya Ise (Killua’s 2011 anime VA) says that Killua is romantically in love with Gon

13. Palm dyed her hair silver in the manga for her and Gon’s date to look like Killua ( /hj /hsrs )

14. Gon and Killua influenced a lesbian relationship in Bloom Into You

15. CAA parallels mini web

16. Palm and Killua acting like typical shojo romantic rivals over Gon

17. Killugon CAA parallels with Palm/Knov, Meurem/Komugi, importance, and love

18. Redditor spits fire under the “is killua gay?” discussion

19. Togashi possibly used Itsuki/Sensui from YYH as an inspo for Gon/Killua

20. The commissioned 1999 anime song lyrics are very gay (so gay that the English translators tried hiding it!)

Have some sketches I made the last couple of months since discovering Moral Orel

I did some doodles before this to learn how to draw Orel and this was my first attempt at drawing him in my style. I also drew Christina.

I love Stephanie, so I made a page dedicated to her. The flag is supposed to be the lesbian flag. I decided that I should also draw some of the other adult characters. From left to right: Bloberta, Clay, Reverend Putty, Miss Censordoll, Principal Fakey, and Miss Sculptham. I had a theme with the right page, the adults of Moralton that should be role models for Orel but constantly let him down /lh

Adult Swim canceling this show is my Roman Empire. They really canceled it before the main character could go through his entire arc. I made these design mainly to work on something else, but I'm happy to have made them. I have definitely been inspired by other designs fans have made, but I did try to be original. Also made one for Christina! She's kinda inspired by pastel goth cause I imagine her parents are more strict and wouldn't let her wear traditional goth attire. She's probably already pushing the line.

Finally, some OCs I made. I'm sorry. First two are friends for Christina, I wanted to do something more then make a female Doughy and I had fun making them. The second is an OC I designed for a fic that is currently a wip. Yes, I did have a fun time creating the punny names.

Laika Lyukanida is Christina's childhood best friend. She is a second-generation Russian-American, her grandfather defected the USSR and moved to the US. I wrote that he was KGB, but I'm thinking that him being a spy makes more sense. I thought it would be funny for her to quote her grandfather sometimes and it being obvious that the quote was about his previous work, but neither her or Christina recognize it.

She is more resistant to Christina's chaotic plans, but she always finds herself working on them anyway. She has an interest in science and is often sneaking in the library against her family's wishes. As she grows older, she probably becomes more agnostic but keeps it a secret. Her first name is mainly a reference to the claymation studio, but I imagine in universe she was named after the dog that made it to space. Her last name is a reference to an old stop motion film from Russia.

Komugi Nendo Jingorō is Christina's friend who has a friendly rivalry on who's the better Christian. She is unfortunately very aware of how much her and her family are outcasts due to being Japanese in a mostly white protestant town. Christina and Laika are her closest friends due to them being more accepting of her. Laika understands what it's like for her name to be constantly mispronounced and relates to her. Christina's parents, much like Orel's, are racist and she has to keep their friendship a secret from them.

Her first and middle name is a reference to flour clay. It's a type of clay that children play with, and I thought it would be a cute name for a kid character. Her last name is both a reference to an old Japanese artist known for working with clay, and a reference to a stop motion short film that is about the same guy.

Will Plasticine is a gay florist in Christina's hometown. He grew up there, and when he turned 18, he ran away from his parents to go to college out of state. He met Stephanie there and they immediately became friends due to them being able to relate with growing up closeted in a very religious environment. She made one of her first tattoos on him, a pink triangle on his upper arm. He opened a shop in his hometown once he finished college, but he still has contact with Stephanie and sometimes they visit each other.

His first name isn't a pun or a reference, his last name is a reference to material used for claymation, especially earlier on. I thought it would be funny to make him a florist to Stephanie's tattoo artist, ie the florist and tattoo artist au thing. Obviously it's not romantic, they're just good friend. I imagine he has a story that parallels the episode, "The Blessed Union", where Christina hears a sermon about how wives should treat their husbands and she becomes curious on what husbands should do for their wives and she ends up in his shop.

Brief thoughts on Hirogaru Sky ending:

Not entirely sure what was the point of them getting de-transformed just to turn back literally 2 minutes later with no trouble, but I guess it was so that we could see the transformations one last time.

Final battle did seem like it lasted pretty quickly, but I liked the surprise “World Punch” attack!

Sora inspiring a little girl the way Shalala inspired her 🥹

No Komugi/Cure Wonderful cameo at the end :/ I do miss when they did those little cameos, even if it was only for a few years

AYYYYO ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Overall, I’m actually sad to see this show go. Despite its flaws I thought it was pretty good

Watching the tanabata episode again for the satoiro moments but also I think this is the second time komugi has endeared me. Mostly because she’s thinking of/experiencing things outside of “Iroha” and “playing”.

Also plot theories

The extinct wolf is the villain that’s been spreading the garugaru. I don’t remember how long Nico-sama’s been gone so I don’t know if the possibility of Nico-sama being a garugaru-ed wolf/is the same big boss is valid or not.

Anyway, kind of how the Delicious Party movie gave focus to not only Yui for being the one to inspire Cath Syth in the past and Komekome to inspire/save him in the present, I’d like to see Komugi to be the one saving the main villain. Wonderful has been working with Friendy the whole time, and even though she does want to save the animals, most of her motives are based around Iroha. So I’d really like for her to make a connection that only she can, as a dog.

[auxiliarydetective]

no analysis for Sonoko’s outfit? (what are the sword names btw?)

Oooooh you got me. I'm actually glad that people enjoy my outfit analyses, even to the point where they're asking for them. Really warms my heart <3

SO: Sonoko outfit analysis. Also gonna describe parts you can't see because other stuff is in the way.

First of all, her hair is dyed. I don't think you can really see it but her eyebrows are brown, so that's kinda supposed to be a hint that her hair isn't naturally green.

She also has a lot more scars than you can see in the picture. Let me actually give you a full view of her body, hang on...

Almost all of those scars she got in fights, whether that be training or serious fights. The scars you can see beneath her collar are claw marks.

For her clothes, I originally wanted to give her a Justice Coat to show her Marine officer status, but then I realized that the coat would just get in the way, so I decided against it. Instead, I put the epaulettes of her coat directly onto her shirt. That means she has more mobility too - practical for fighting. As for the color of the epaulettes, I spent what felt like hours looking at the coats of different Marines to figure out if there was any rhyme or reason to the colors of their epaulettes. You would think that they would correspond to rank in some way. But they don't so...

Generally, in its color scheme, I wanted Sonoko's outfit to resemble Zoro's main outfit from the animanga, so we have a white shirt and black pants and boots. If you make the shirt an actual dress shirt, that even fits into the Marine uniform scheme, so that's a big plus!

The belt is made of leather and has a section going down at the left side to hold her swords.

The blue sword is named "Komugi no Ha", which translates to "wheat blade". Y'know, like a blade of grass. You can see the wheat motive on the bottom part of the sheath. This is the sword she has carried since leaving Shimotsuki Village and she has a similar attachment to it as Zoro has to the Wado Ichimonji - though her attachment to the Komugi no Ha isn't nearly as strong.

The other sword is named "Koi no Oyogi", which means "swimming koi". I took inspiration from koi colorings and patterns for this sword and gave the blade a wave pattern to match.

Finally, you might be able to tell that, in comparison to her black pants, her boots look kind of worn-out and grey instead of being a pristine black. This will become significant later in her story...

Thanks for asking!

I expect you to be back for the next few posts if you like these rambles :)

Chimera! Komugi design, anyone ?

She is very bunny coded to me, and i got inspired by the jackalope, a cryptid animal which is a mix between a rabbit and an antelope !

[basedkikuenjoyer]

Eh, Thursday Afternoon Toriyama posting is fun for now. I'm surprised by how much I've thought about it lately. Not like I'm usually the type to dwell on celebrity deaths heavily, but Toriyama's taken up as much of my mind as when Prince & David Bowie passed close to each other or having the two windows I followed pro wrestling line up with Owen Hart's, Eddie Guerrero's, and Chris Benoit's sudden deaths. We'll touch on it in time but y'all saw Oda is taking a break because of it right? So far I've re-watched a huge chunk of Dragonball and binged the excellent review by Totally Not Mark for Z. I don't think a lot of anime fans, myself included, ever gave Toriyama a fair shake for how truly good DB could actually be.

Like...think about Meruem & Komugi in Hunter x Hunter. How lauded that story is. How much controversy but praise Oda generated by taking such a freewheeling goofy direction with such a late stage of his story. Both of those are just elements of the Majin Buu Saga. Meruem has Cell's design and Buu's arc. And Mr. Satan saving the day by being a good friend and mentor to the Majin? I've always loved that. My actual first exposure was that stretch of the story, staying at a friend's house while Cartoon Network ran a marathon. I liked Videl and we got to see this wonderfully epic clash of titans:

I remember going back to school in the fifth grade, telling some guy friends who liked the screaming and blowing up Earth shit all about how I finally saw DBZ and they were horrified by how much I loved this nonsense. Mr. Satan is a legend and Goten/Trunks pulling a Vincent Adultman is iconic. But...ma cherie. Android 18 is objectively the coolest thing to come out of that series. You may disagree but it's objective so that would make you wrong. I mean, the Androids alone are already cool as hell for being such a solid callback to the earlier Red Ribbon Army arc. Who could forget 8? Guy was classic. First we have a couple of goofy ones then BAM! kickass young sibling pair named Lapis & Lazuli which is a high watermark in a world with some truly weird names. Since I'll be on about another favorite pair likely somewhat inspired by them tomorrow might as well say it.

That's not exactly off the wall right? Kiku & Izo, Jodio & Dragona, that combat sibling pair of a sister that's feminine but fierce and a kinda fey brother you definitely shouldn't underestimate? Nothing new under the sun but the trope certainly echoes from the Cell Saga. And honestly, can't help but notice that side of Okiku I always want to come out more. Lazuli's best moment that made me love her so much:

I do like how when she recognizes Goten & Trunks she just takes them out via disqualification using Krillin's disk technique. But I adore the conclusion now as much as I did then. Knowing Mr. Satan was enough of a preening dickhead to pay her double for the glory of the win and throwing the fight. Same flavor as what makes me love Kiku and the Yokozuna as much as I do with a distinctly Nami blend. Tell me those two couldn't play good cop/bad cop to shake someone down.

Honestly a lot of the way I see contemporary One Piece makes sense through that lens, the way the Buu Saga took a different approach was bold and controversial but got the series back to its roots. I bet Toriyama had a lot of fun with it. And thank you for the archetype I love so much even if I didn't fully appreciate the Ur-pair until after I came to love their inspiration.

This is probably too much to get into today, but you can't divorce this from what we know about the Cell Saga, how there was so much editorial meddling when it came to the villains. The more meta elements of how I see Kiku & Yamato, how one is set to age like fine wine even if she wasn't the flashiest and the other will probably never be as popular as you were at the start even if you started white hot. The Android Pair vs. Cell are a great example. Fans as a collective sometimes don't really know what they want, I get why Eiichiro Oda opines about "authors becoming slaves to readers." Weekly serialization is a wonderland. And that wonderland gave us something really cool along the way to giving editors another Frieza.

[olivieraa]

I know I said this before but I don't know if I made it specifically clear

I think I'd personally prefer it if they did away with genres such as "shounen-ai", "yaoi", "shoujo-ai" and "yuri"

Ok maybe not yaoi and yuri since they're implied to be explicit, but the other two, defo. Or what they're more commonly known as, Boys Love (BL) or Girls Love (GL)

Now with me, personally, if I'm told by the show what to ship, there's a high chance I wont ship it. There's canon couples I do support don't get me wrong (Inuyasha/Kagome, Eren/Mikasa, Tomoe/Nanami, etc), but I wont go out of my way to look into them. Also, one of those pairings is not like the other. Inuyasha/Kagome and Tomoe/Nanami are implied from the start and they are both a part of an anime with the Romance genre attached, and so I know what those shows are leading up to. However, Eren/Mikasa would be an example of one that is not. Attack on Titan does not have a Romance genre. But not having a Romance genre doesn't mean there is no Romance. It's just not a central theme.

And tbh, that's my personal preference. To not be told from the start that this ship is endgame. I want to be surprised when I watch an anime and see a couple develop a relationship through chemistry, trust, understanding, etc. Meruem/Komugi came out of an anime where Romance is basically non-existent and defo not a genre, and its definitely implied Romance, they fell in love, 100%. In a non-Romance anime. That's my fave!!!

I rarely rarely go looking into the Romance genre. I'm more of an action-gal, and I'm happy to have Romance attached in some way.

Now in terms of BL...

Shounen-Ai/BL is also a Romance genre (basically just translated to "Gay Romance"). And I've seen a few BL's where absolutely nothing has happened between the male characters, despite the label. I haven't seen Togainu no Chi in well over 10 years but I'm almost positive no male characters even hugged. And there's more like that, despite the BL label.

Actually lemme check if that has been updated:

Nope, still there!

But anyway. Bc you know it has that BL genre, the whole time you're basically waiting on at least a kiss. And when you don't get it, you're highly disappointed in the whole anime and feel like you were conned into believing there was a Romance when there wasn't. And its just confusing, bc you're wondering if that genre should even be there.

But that's the thing, your expectations are high because the genre is telling you "these two characters will be together by the end" or "at least be heavily implied", and like any het romance anime that tells you its a romance anime, and the main characters kiss by the end or are implied to be together or on the way to getting together, you are expecting the two males leads in a BL to kiss by the end or at least have something romantic between them. And when they don't, and you're like, "why is this even called shounen-ai??? all they did is hug! friends do that!" --- is why they should just do away with the label.

My preference, like I said, is to go into an anime not labelled with Romance but then find a Romance. Like HxH or Attack on Titan.

If we take Starmyu, as an example:

These aren't wrong. These are the central themes.

However, the plot is heavily based around this sentence:

The show is two things. Its based around attending a musical academy in hopes of becoming a singer, actor, stage performer, whatever. And its also based around the main character, in a way, "seeking out" a student from the academy that inspired him a few years beforehand. He doesn't exactly try his best to seek out that student, but talks about him a lot.

And that's fine. Nothing too gay there lmao

But... between that all happening, there's a lot implied, that I'll prob do in a different post, but then girls and girlfriends are brought up and its like "ah... so the 'gay' moments are just fanservice. these characters are all prob straight" and you dont feel too much about it because, duh-duh-duh-duuuuuun---

BL isn't a genre for this anime. Neither is romance. You're not expecting anything.

You. Have. No. Expectations.

But here's the thing!!!

You can go into HxH or Attack on Titan with no Romance expectations due to lack of label, and still find a Romance in there, like I said! And they're canon af, not just shipping fodder, actual canon!

There's actually quite a bit of romance in my fave anime, Durarara and yet here are the genres:

So its like, why do I have to know the genre is BL to think there's something between these characters? Why can't it just... happen? Like they do in the "straight" animes.

But this is another sucky part.

We'll stick with Stamyu.

If this did have BL as a genre, then what the show has been giving would be labelled as "not enough". Bc BL has to mean "at least a kiss", usually. People aren't happy if they dont get at least that if the BL genre is attached. And so Starmyu would be considered a "fine anime" without BL attached, but a "disappointing anime" if BL was attached.

Nobody is saying that about Ouran. The two leads (male and female) never kissed and its considered one of the best romance animes

And that's a romance anime, not an action series with romance in the background.

But if Starmyu was labelled as BL and all they did was hug, people would be hella disappointed. However, as a non-BL, people would be happy to see them just hug, that would be enough.

It sucks bc, Yuri on Ice came along and did it.

It is not a BL labelled anime

But we know that despite mostly being centred around sports, it 100% has an actual canon Gay Romance

In. A. Non. BL. Or. Romance. Labelled. Anime.

Which changed the fucking game for a brief moment, and I haven't seen anything like it since.

BL to me sometimes feels like a warning. Like "if you enter this anime, it is gay, be warned."

It didn't take any geniuses to know that Yuri on Ice wasn't a manly anime for manly mens, and was most likely catered to girls, but, dudes could still watch it and be shocked when the gay happened, and be like "Ok I knew this anime was a little sparkly and shit, but I still watched it for the sport regardless of it being ice-skating... But why they have to put this gay shit in here??? If it had said fucking BL or yaoi, I would have stayed away! Now I'm forced to see this with my own eyes!!!"

See. We should really just do away with that genre. Not only would it be progressive, but so much fun lmao
