katsuki's whole deal of wanting to become someone izuku can always rely on is everything to me. like i love the self-assessment of i don't measure up. despite the posturing he knows this intimately. and still being like. im gonna get there because i have to. my own physical limitations arent an excuse. deku has to be able to trust im not gonna just get killed when he's not looking.
and like... also being proud of being someone that deku is close to. closest to. growing into actively seeking out his attention and the starry-eyed gaze he couldn't handle when they were kids.
Gosh, is this really only my second winter piece this season?? Yikes… And I claim to love this season ;~;
Ik winter’s not over yet, but it’s that time of year where I go on my (planned ^^;;;) break, this piece being my send off (…potentially… I’ll try and see if I can manage a sketch by tonight, but if not, this is it for now). I’ll still be here since it’s a month-long break focused mostly on my iPad (I mean, I can’t stay off it completely, but I’ll try to do as much as I can, eheh. This also means I might post a traditional sketch or two. Maybe, maybe not. But no digital works, that’s for sure). I’d say I’d just be more infrequent, but, like… I’ve already been rather infrequent lately, too…
Fun fact: This was actually intended to be an autumn piece, but then my art rut happened. So I decided to update it into a winter piece. Took a lot longer than I intended to, but I’m still recovering from that rut… only for me to take another break from art now 🙃 Ah, well. C’est la vie.
For how much Machete is described by others as off-putting, he really is a beautiful dog. Does Vasco ever tell him so? That his eyes make him look earnest, his fur the most comforting shade of white like cream, the way his ears catch light like stained glass? If someone doesn't tell him so, he'd forever think he was ugliest duckling
I think Vasco definitely tries, sincerely and often, but Machete is very reluctant to accept compliments and positive feedback. Especially if it's about something as personal and innate as his looks.
Hey remember when Joker Out randomly tweeted this after spending two days in Finland during the most miserable time of the year? Yea what the fuck was that about
it really is so funny to think that the writers sat down to introduce eddie as a new main character in 2x01 and said "you know how we should get the audience on board with this character? we should have buck be really threatened and do this stupid peacocking macho dick-measuring contest that turns to grudging respect and eventual friendship, like maverick and iceman in top gun" and then the show ran long enough that they made buck canonically bi and accidentally retconned 2x01 into buck wanting to fuck eddie so bad it made him look stupid. like maverick and iceman in top gun
speaking of great bleach mysteries, i often hear people wondering 'oh, did hitsugaya and matsumoto recognize isshin when they were in the World of the Living during the advance team arc?' and there was even a klub question about it, but what i want to know is, did anyone notice that Worst Ryouka and Savior of Soul Society Kurosaki Ichigo's one and only attack, Getsuga Tenshou, was also used by Captain Shiba Isshin, a guy who conveniently disappeared roughly 20 years ago?
