You Have Changed.

Riku Appreciation Week | Day 1: Favourite Appearance So, this felt like the perfect opportunity to finally, well, draw some Riku. I absolutely love hin im 3D. I could run around as him all the time! (ReCoded is very close though, DataRiku is my little darling, haha.)

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.

Winter has to pass away for spring to arise Yet for spring flowers wilt so fast nothing remains in the end

Things that make me feel like posting on Tumblr is actually still worth the effort:

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your tags, they make my day!! <3

AKUSAIMONTH: BERSERK Day 10: SET C - “FREE SPACE”

“It won’t be.” "Huh?" "It won't be okay, unless we make it. "You have a plan?" "Not yet. We don't know enough. Our only chance at the moment is to play along." "So, you do have a plan." "I doubt it's worth calling it that." "Pft, whatever. Don't be so grim, Isa. We can do this, right!"

I felt like falling. It was a vertigo, things were keeping to blur before my eyes. It was hard to keep myself together at that time. Being with you helped. Apparently I was the only one struggeling with this. I know for sure that you didn't. Then again, I was also the only one who had had an X carved into his forehead. 

It was incredible how fast the wound had healed – or rather, how fast it had scarred.

In order to celebrate the release of KH 2.8, I decided to show you my Foreteller Ira headcanons!

I absolutely love him and I can’t wait to watch KHx backcover and learn more about my beautiful union leader! Even though I don’t like his design in the HD graphics, it looks so much better in khux in my opinion.

… I always thought that, while he doesn’t realize it himself, Ira is the “traitor” who will bring demise to this world through his actions. Not on purpose, but still. I really look forward to see how things actually went down!

W . I . P

Just thought I’d show you what I’m spending my free time on lately. Still so much to do!

"At Last"

It's Koujaku's birthday (August 19)!!! To celebrate I decided to finish this drawing / colour experiment from May! The colours are heavily inspired by one of my favourite Magic the Gathering illustration: "Dueling Rapier" by Anna Podedworna. Although I ended up using them a little different, ehehe...

AKUSAIMONTH: DAYTIME MOON Day 3: Let me clean your wounds.

(can be seen as a continuation to this)

Everything was spinning, at least that's what it felt like when he woke up. Lea just lay there, waiting for his world to calm down again. He made it, didn't he? He had seen Isa's heart … Isa.

Ignoring his dizziness, he opened his eyes and looked up. Isa lay barely an arm's length away from him. Still … … unconscious. At least, that's what he hoped it was.

In a sudden panic, he got to his knees and grabbed his shoulders. "Isa!", he called out his name, shaking him at the same time.

It felt like an eternity before Isa opened his eyes. There was no trace of yellow left in them. Only the greenish blue he remembered from so long ago. Lea felt himself breaking into a smile. All the tension and anxiousness that had kept him on edge this whole time simply fell away from him. He really made it.

His relief didn't last long once Isa reached out to him and … shoved him away. His voice sounded hoarse and weak and he didn't look him in the eye. "Don't touch me," he said. Lea felt his heart clench.

"Come on, Isa," he tried again, reaching for him one more time, only to get hold up by an arm, that certainly shouldn't be doing that. Everything went numb for him.

He had imagined this moment a hundred times. Heck, a thousand times. He didn't really expect Isa to fall around his neck or something, but this … this was nothing like what he thought. He saved Isa, didn't he? Why was he still acting like this? … Like … Saïx.

He just looked at him for a moment, trying to regain his composure. There were traces of the fight they had before all over him. It hadn't exactly been easy to enter Isa's heart.

Isa hadn't even gotten up. Apparently he was even worse off than Lea himself. "You're hurt," Lea stated in a firm voice, "Let me help you." He took hold of Isa's arm that was still trying to keep him away from him and pushed it down with mild power.

Isa still refused to look at him.  "No. Just … leave me be." But this time Lea heard his voice crack. He sounded … sad.

For some reason, it irritated him.

"Leave you be to do what? Die?" He grasped both his shoulders. Isa tensed up and tried to push him away again, but Lea didn't let him. "Do you really think I went through all that trouble, learning how to use a keyblade, waltzing right into a war, fighting you, just to let you die now?? No, Isa, I will bring you home and if I have to drag you all the way there."

Just then Isa suddenly stopped struggling and looked up to him. For a moment his face was full of disbelief, then he made a sound that was a mixture between an exhale and a laugh, and even though it sounded so sad, Lea felt happy about it. Because it was a reaction to him. And because there was the hint of a smile on Isa's face. It had been too long since he had a chance to see that.

"You're still … as stubborn as ever." His voice was quiet, but it wasn't cold. Not anymore. For the second time within a few minutes Lea felt relief wash over him. This wasn't lost, not yet. They could still go back to the way there were, it just'd take a bit longer than he thought.

"See, that's more like what I wanted to hear," he chirped extra cheerfully. He smiled at Isa, then he tightened his grip on his shoulders. "It's good to have you back. Isa."
