On Writing Flawed Books

WHY IS DRAWING HANDS SO FUCKING HARD

Ta-dah! It’s finally done, the artwork that I’ve been working for a week is finally finished!

So basically…this art shows a lot of things.

Imagine if the Owari no Seraph characters lived a normal life. 

Mika sleeping on Yuu’s shoulder as they watch a class romantic drama movie. (Yuu is so emotional, though.) Then, the Hyakuya Orphanage taking a lot of pictures in Christmas. (Mikayuu is the highlight uwu) Mitsuba and her sister Aoi shopping for clothes. (Just look at Aoiii, huhu.)

Kimizuki and Yoichi watching their sisters—Tomoe and Mirai preparing to bake some cupcakes. (Tomoe holding an empty tray and Mirai smiling brightly aaaAH) The squad of Guren videochat, and then Kureto (with shades) somehow invading it and hacking it, and craziness ensues. (Shinya is so amused though.) 

And look! Lest being a chef! A CHEF. Isn’t that adorable?! (Urd’s a waiter and he’s appreciating it by the way.) Awww, can I just point out the Hiiragi Sisters interaction? Mahiru and Shinoa playing in the snow, because why not? (They’re both so adorable, am I right?) 

Narumi’s squad taking a walk together around the park at night. (Sounds like what they could do in another universe, hm? / / sobs) AHAHAHA Ky Luc’s pleasant face for tasting ramen for the first time— Lacus and Rene watching him with amused faces. (RAMEN IS GOOD, BLOOD WHO YOU?)

Chess and Horn being comfy with their sweaters. (Sweater Weather!! Especially if the time of the month is the coldest season.) Well, well, did someone say Ferid and Crowley as teachers? (Ferid will be the type of teacher who’ll sing a lot while Crowley brings those big books!) 

And finally, the siblings. Krul and Ashera graduating.

Waaaah, this makes me so emotional. / / wipes tears. Can they just live a normal life? For once? Ughhhh- KAGAMI PLS GIVE ME A HAPPY ENDING HUHU 

i’ll stop ranting now;;; I know my art sucks, but I couldn’t help it :<<

just remember this is the face of someone who would give their life for u

Yuu: I don't want to lie anymore

Yoichi: Yuu-kun...

Kimizuki: lie about what?

Yuu: it's Mika. I've been dating Mika.

Everyone: Mika?!

Shinoa: Yuu is not the only one!

Narumi: you're dating Mika too?

Shinoa: what? No- I... Mitsuba's always been my best pal, but now I love her.

Kimizuki: wait a minute... Yuu and Mika... Shinoa and Mitsuba? You mean... I've been keeping my relationship with Yoichi a secret this whole time for nothing?!

Yoichi: babe-

Narumi: I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

Crowley: wait you have a boyfriend?

Narumi: yeah... he's a member of my squad, Shuusaku...

Yoichi: wait a second! Is there anyone else who's going to come out?

Everyone: ...

Crowley: I don't like anyone

he loves them, okay? dt: @seance-vent

 (y’all gotta read seance_vent’s fics in ao3!) <3

tell us about the typing styles please,, i need to know ;o;

ahem… thank u for letting me indulge like a nerd

mika & narumi type with proper punctuation and usually reply short as if they would irl. when they type “I’m fine.” they don’t understand the anxiety the receiving end gets because that’s a clear sign that they aren’t fine right—

shinoa and yuu both use twitter slang and keyboard smash. u really cant change my mind

mitsuba doesn’t capitalize, but she uses periods and commas. she likes to be hip but also seem formal and collected

yoichi does whatever his phone tells him to. he uses emojis a Lot, keeps autocorrect on, auto capitalization, and when his phone highlights the word to show an emoji counterpart he often presses it bc its fun

kimizuki has auto capitalization on but he turned off autocorrect because it has no idea how to type any of their names and he gets annoyed. 

also me and my friends decided shinya would overuse emojis, learn how to keyboard smash from yuu and spam guren with keyboard smashes if guren had a ‘funny text’ and it’s the purest thing actually

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize,  snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?

Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word “finally”. 

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT whats your favorite place to find drawing references?

“Are you nervous?”

Mika made a sound halfway between a hum and a sigh. “I think so.”

Yu chuckled quietly. “You think?”

“I know it’s the right decision. I just don’t know how to say it.”

(Or: Yu comes to pick Yuu-chan up from his and Mika’s date. It all goes downhill.)

this one actually hurts my poor, old heart. click if you dare!
