THATS ALL I CAN BE BOTHERED TO DO RN!!! might make a part 2 of this post later

but as a general rule if you guys have any (of my) drawings you'd like me to explain just send an ask

[evermorethecrow]

ive noticed you're actually very particular about colour choices! is there anything from the chuuyaus you'd like to highlight or elaborate on?

SPOILERS FOR VARIOUS STORIES OF MINE BELOW CUT! and an additional warning for eyestrain

im so glad you asked

now i use colour symbolism 24/7 so instead of wasting time explaining how its used in multiple things i'll stick to just one

i have a colour to corelate each of my main three and today im focusing on the yuuko au

look at this joyless guy

Today im specifically focusing on the alt plotline here

the murase plotline!!

Now green is this stories colour, its used a LOT

The saturation is especially important,

i use saturation a lot to highlight distressed emotions

using crychu here as an example

when it comes to the yuuko au though the saturation is more paticular, people in distress on their own get washed out

(as seen here)

and only the interference of others gets highlighted in saturated tones, (see above)

this changes when two people are experiencing that sort of adrenailine at the same time

like here (excuse the old art) people's colour schemes are very important in this

chuuya's pretty desaturated (obvioulsy this isnt coloured in but bare with me)

he doenst have his green jacket so he looks a lot duller, and when he gets more clothes he continues to dress in the same grey ways, mature clothing and blandness

misacho's always been beige, sometimes its hard to see what colour is actually the base of her outfit since everything is so light.

etsukos got more of a purple scheme which sticks out against most the other people in it. its really intresting how that fits her charecter later on.

I CANT SAY TOO MUCH THOUGH

theres a LOT of colour symbolsim in this au i havent mentioned but im not telling for spoilers sake

hope again that this makes any sense at all

Why This Yuuko Comic Is So Fucked Up

An unprofessional essay by @/the-gayest-sky-kid

Spoilers for @evermorethecrow's Yuuko!AU, CW for breaking down what I think is grooming and generally weird and inappropriate behavior from a character within the AU.

 

In @/evermorethecrow’s alternate “Bungou Stray Dogs” universe (Yuuko!AU), the reader is introduced to the character “Misacho Hitashi”. Specifically in this post we are given a good look at Misacho as a person. However, the actions taken by Misacho in this comic are completely concerning. In fact, I argue that this comic is incredibly fucked up.

  Starting from the first panel, we see that Misacho has just finished a work shift. While that’s not incriminating on its own, Misacho’s status as a working adult will be important to keep in mind as the comic continues. It’s also important to note how Misacho goes to lean on Chuuya, cigarette in hand. In the sixth panel it’s revealed that Misacho is significantly taller than Chuuya, more than an entire head taller in fact. Misacho is actively pushing herself into Chuuya’s space. This is seen again in the second panel. Misacho may look similar in height to Chuuya at first, but with their actual height difference in mind it’s clear she is purposefully clinging onto Chuuya, even crawling on the ground to do so. I will also pull your attention back to their age difference. Misacho is a working woman, 26 or 27 years old at this point. She, as implied in the comic, has her own place and a regular job. Chuuya is 12 or 13 in the comic. A 26 year old woman is hanging off of him, claiming she’s scared one of her customers will “follow her home to kill her”. She’s also smoking quite close to him too which is, while not her worst offense, still quite concerning.

  Moving on to panels three and four, Misacho still tries to convince Chuuya she’s terrified despite the backing of the Sheep. This is what prompts Chuuya to offer to stay the night instead. I say “instead”, because Misacho reveals toward the end that she was purposefully manipulating Chuuya into coming home with her. While she claims this was for good intentions, the faces she makes and her general behavior make this hard to believe. Going back to the fourth panel, Chuuya, clearly uncomfortable, says that he “left some stuff there last time anyway”. Chuuya has been to Misacho’s place before (a woman I remind you is 26), enough that he has left stuff behind there. Furthermore in panel seven Chuuya is shown wearing a change of clothes. He has not only stayed enough that he has stuff he’s left behind, but spare clothing as well. And then Misacho’s response to his offer of staying is, “You don’t have to, I’m not trying to force you”. Which, knowing that Misacho was purposefully manipulating Chuuya into going to her house, is definitely meant to be guilt tripping. In the fifth panel Chuuya counters that Misacho could never have any control of him, touting his physical strength over her. But as the readers know, Misacho has already put Chuuya where she wants him. This makes her response to this, the world's fakest laugh, all the more dark.

  To begin the sixth panel I need to bring up something I glossed over in panel four: Misacho’s weird habit of blushing. It’s odd just in that panel, but her words, expression, and actions in the sixth do put me on edge. Misacho places her hand on Chuuya’s shoulder (unnecessary contact that he’s clearly uncomfortable with), blushes (and what reason does a 26 year old have to be blushing because of a 12 year old?), and says “Let’s go home”. The contact was already an issue, but the manner in which she says those words is suspicious beyond belief. She’s delivering them almost as if Chuuya is a lover, and fully as if he lives with her. Chuuya is/is doing neither, considering he’s 12 and a well established member of the Sheep. This is also one of the couple times we see Misacho’s eyes highlighted. Considering the other moment this happens, panel eight, I have no reason to believe this indicates anything wholesome.

  Panel seven, as stated in the second paragraph, reveals that Chuuya has stayed at Misacho’s enough to have spare clothing. But what’s even more important here is that even Chuuya is wary of Misacho’s intentions here. Misacho, who has been presented as unassuming and of no threat to him so far, has garnered enough suspicion to be questioned by him. This is why I call her faces in panel eight into question. Misacho is initially thrown off by this, which makes her explanation appear like her doubling down. Misacho blushes (and again, what reason does she have to be blushing at a 12 year old?) and says, “In truth… I worry about you Chuuya… You’ve been looking so worn out recently, and I knew it was gonna rain, and I just thought you could do with a good night's rest. Though I do admit I should have been more direct; I didn’t think you’d listen”. Misacho directly admits to manipulating him, albeit for good intentions, but her delivery of this line and prior behavior again calls those intentions into question. And it also ties into the initial story draft. Misacho seems to intentionally degrade the Sheep with her concern, saying that he’s “worn out” and “could use a good night's rest”. She (like in the initial draft) not only implies that the Sheep are unable to take care of Chuuya, but that she cares more than them and can provide what they can’t.

  In conclusion, I believe neither me or any other reader have any reason to take what Misacho Hitashi says in good faith. The way she acts in this comic is, in my eyes, a terrifying sign of things to come in the Yuuko!AU. I speak from the bottom of my heart when I say we are truly, irrevocably, fucked.

two days late but... happy birthday misacho!*

flowers :)

[evermorethecrow]

gee whiz evermore the crow on tumblr i wonder if theres any significance to the colours used in your yuuko au piece

THERE IS

my three most talked about aus have their own little colour schemes/colours

like they will usually have these incorperated in some way. and i tried to follow primary colours

a lot in this picture is actually yellow but like many things its more hidden,

the aus colouring and this photo are more green

theres a lore reason for this of course!! green is a very used colour in this au!! its the colour of chuuya's jacket, misachos eyes, the sweets, a lot yknow

[evermorethecrow]

so whats up with misacho?

she was a women chuuya knew in the yuuko au

[evermorethecrow]

3, 5, 11, 12, 16, 27 if youre up for it (for the wip ask game :3)

AHA THANKS FOR THE ASK!! I have a few wips rn so i'll answer one for each :3

3. Describe your wip badly

Chuuya nakahara has dead wife flashbacks and then the police break into his college dorm.

5. What are the main themes

THIS one is very fun i am a Big themes fan, this one im working on has change as a theme but the au as a whole is about family and sacrifice id say

one of my favourite parts of yuuko au is having chuuya realise how young hes been his whole life because of raising yuuko. especially when yuuko is 14

11. characters you had to cut

Im gonna use this as an opportunity to list characters who had to be cut in general

Akutagawa from highschool au (due to timeline difficulties)

the entire doa and rats in the house of the dead from hs au (due to story changes)

the entire guild in hs au (due to story changes)

Misacho from highschool au??? (she wasnt even gonna be added but i played around with the idea for a day)

kyouka highschool au (difficulties)

Chuuya's mother in highschool au (i decided to kill her so she isnt in the main story)

chuuyas dad in cryptid chuuya au (not fully but he was moved to a less present role)

theres more mostly hs au but SHHSHDFDH

12. what inspired this wip

most my wips are just write ups of certain aus so i dont know what to say for this one i guess chuuya inspired it?

for aus in general i can say crychu was inspired by power from chainsaw man

16. what do you find frustrating about this wip

gonna yell for a moment I FIND IT REALLY HARD TO LIKE FINISH ALL MY WIPS IN GENERAL

this is just my horrible focus in practice i do this with everything evermore the procrastinator

27. Look for three images which best showcase the overall aesthetic for your WIP

GOTCHA

the painting at the end is Sonnenblumen by josef scharl!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! :3
