Here's The Finished Drawing Next To The Sketch! (Also Some More Rowan Sketches. I Have A Few Of Those

So, when I’m studying and Schlüsselwortheuristik (keyword heuristic) suddenly becomes Schlüsselschwertheuristik (keyblade heuristic), then I guess it’s time to go to sleep.

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 5: Flames

It feels like those flames are devouring me.

Di[e]ce Appreciation Week | Day 5: L_ST (L o st)

» I will destroy this world. «

One of the things I love the most about Di[e]ce is how much worse Haruki, who values life so much, who’s organized and caring, is able to deal with everything that happens, compared to Kazuki. Sure, Kazuki breaks down on several occasions, but he doesn’t fall.

The blood on Haruki’s hands just weighs so much more than that on Kazuki’s…

Die and Make Peace.

@laytonbrothersbirthdaybash Day 1: Favourite Side character

Not sure if she even counts as a side character, but I thought this would be a great opportunity to finally draw her!

Also my first time drawing on an iPad!

Okay, so. If becoming norted DOESN’T mean losing your free will, then what good would it do Xehanort to make Sora a vessel.

I am honestly so done with the Saix discourse around here.

Saix has Xehanort’s EYECOLOUR AND EARS for heaven’s sake. He is clearly at least influenced by Xehanort during his time in Org XIII. Not to mention he has a X carved into his forehead, X like keeping watch on people (see KH3D).

I always thought that Saix is losing more and more of himself to Xehanort, but that’s only my interpretation of course. He’s still at least partially himself, before his death in KH2, yes. He did terrible things, yes. I’m not saying those should be forgotten.

But please don’t forget, that he was also in a terrible situation and he was slowly losing his only support (= Lea). Situations have a huge impact on our decisions and behaviour, which has close to NOTHING to do with our personality. Feel free to google the fundamental attribution error on that one. Does this justify what he did? Not at all. Does this mean he shouldn’t be forgiven? Not. At. All. If he is willing to repent, then let him do it. EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE.

Then again, I’d like to take a look at the “terrible things” Isa/Saix did. The main problem I see is his behaviour towards Roxas and Xion, who would have needed support and whose situations were clearly made worse by him. Keep in mind that he deeply believes he doesn’t feel any emotions and nobody else around him does either. The definition of empathy (according to Dorsch, Lexikon der Psychologie [translated]) is the cognitive understanding and affective reciprocation of the assumed emotions of another being. Of course Saix doesn’t have any.

The “terrible things” I don’t understand, are those other people see in his interactions with Axel? Roxas and Xion hurt Axel’s mental state way more than Saix, not on purpose of course, but I strongly doubt Saix’ goal was to hurt Axel either. Saix and Axel are ARGUING. Axel doesn’t trust Saix and vice versa. Saix is angry, he’s sad, while he doesn’t acknowledge any of it. He tries to keep Axel close with their shared goal. With pressure, yes, which he didn’t have to, but they are still arguing, remember. There’s still a strong, unresolved conflict in between them. Don’t try to tell me, you’re always kind and caring in an argument, dear haters. Because BY SHARING HATE YOU ALREADY ARE CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER PEOPLE. I felt uneasy and irritated, I had sleepless hours thanks to those Saix hate posts. YOU caused me harm with your unnecessary discourse.

So what does this say about you? Shouldn’t you be forgiven?

At last.

Because running around as Koujaku and Aoba and ignoring the swing is impossible.

Lea & Isa

When I was playing 358/2 Days for the first time a few years ago I suddenly wondered what Axel's real name would be, so I started turning around the letters of his name. I got to the conclusion, that it's probably Lea very quickly - simply and plainly because Lea is a girl's name. I was laughing my ass off, when I realized that I was right. When I started to get an interest in Saix I did the same thing for his name. I thought matching to Lea he should have a girl's name too, so I decided for Isa as my guess. The joke wasn't nearly as funny the second time.

Really, who gave them those names? And was he aware that they are girl's names? ö _ ö" (even though they are pronounced in a different way) Well I knew a Lea once, I knew a Isa once, so ever since BBS I wanted to draw a genderbend version of Lea and Isa influenced with features of the Lea and Isa I knew. Yup, here they are :D

Di[e]ce is probably one of the most underrated manga existing. I know those few days won’t change anything about that, but it’s worth a shot anyway.

If you like intelligent, well-though-out plot, hinted boys love, deep characters, with even deeper development, tragic pasts, beautiful and detailed artwork and ethic questions … then this is what you’ve waited for!

PLEASE READ THIS MANGA. Just do it.

Dates range from November, 11th to 16th.

11|11 – The die is cast (or Black or White King) 11|12 – Focus (or Favourite Character) 11|13 – Reflection (or Favourite Chess Piece) 11|14 – Love (or Favourite Relationship) 11|15 – L_ST (or Favourite Di[e]ce) 11|16 – Endgame (or Free Day)

I know this is on a extremely short note, but should anyone feel like joining in: Please do it! This manga needs more love! Art, edits, mangacaps … everything is perfectly welcome!

I guess, it will be just me and @kittendough fangirling for a few days, but that’s fine as well. And who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised.

AKUSAIMONTH | 2018 Day 2: After Missions

It was painful, but least they had each other.

[Day 1] [Day 2]

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 10: Repentance

Thank you, Lea.

Read from left to right.

I highly doubt that gaining a heart again will be a pleasant experience for Isa. Lea, be a darling and HELP HIM.

By the way, I am convinced that Lea will return Isa's heart, I mean really why else would you give this character a keyblade? He doesn't even count as one of the seven lights.
