Early Christmas gift for @luckystarchild~

I logged into tumblr for the first time in months and saw your edit, figured I could doodle NQK with Meiou's uniform (not sure if I got her hair right though!)

Time really flies... I was in high school when I started reading LC now I'm midway through uni. It's been a long journey! Thank you for sharing your writing with us <3

(ps if you want a file without the background I can send it to you and you can paste NQK in whatever background you want lol)

WHAT'S THIS? IT'S KEIKO WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER

[luckychild]

(If this has already been asked before, sorry! Feel free to just say that) Did you ever consider having NQK be reborn as a different character instead? So like a Not-Quite-Yusuke. What made you chose Keiko, or was it not even a question from the start?

It was always Keiko. I still have screenshots of the conversation where I came up with the idea to use her. It was an experiment to see if I could do something interesting with the character a lot of fans claim to hate for the crime of being "useless."

(This isn't her fault; it's Togashi's, and I stand by that.)

And also this show is full of mass murderers and terrible people, and if KEIKO of all people is someone's most hated character? They're probably a misogynist tbh. I will not be accepting criticism for that statement.

Briefly I did toy with the idea of using Maya from Kurama's past instead, but Keiko's longterm presence in the story felt way more interesting to me/provided way more fodder for the story overall.

Oh hey, I doodled some YuYuHakushos 😎

[sarayashikidays]

I say this from a place of never finishing the anime due to epilepsy related issues with it so this may be in the anime! BUT really really really like, always, Yuusuke settling in to just be a GuyTM in his city... taking care of the people he loves I always adore it

Okay so I generally believe that what Yusuke and Keiko have is real and meaningful and I ship them, because they're both weird and also arospec, in a way where they both decided to have romantic feelings about each other and called it day and for some reason that actually worked

But Yusuke is also a raging bisexual and is fully aware of that, so he has 100% had gay thoughts about all of his teammates but especially Kuwabara, which he masks by making fun of him because unlike Kurama and Hiei, he's known this guy for years and he's both straight and oblivious. Admitting to thinking he's hot would put him firmly in loser territory, because having years to put the moves on a guy and coming out the other side with the guy having zero interest in you that way is just embarrassing. Like, he's obsessed with you and still isn't into you like that. Hasn't even questioned his sexuality once in relation to you. Bad. Awful. That brief moment where Kuwabara got flustered by Kurama because he looked like a cute girl haunts Yusuke.

Keiko has to put up with this rant once a month and doesn't really get it because she has like. Negative interest in how hot people are. The hottest man alive in accordance with her preferences would mean nothing to her. But she's fine with it because Yusuke deserves to suffer sometimes lol
