Thistle ; The Fool

Demon Slayer 👺🎴🔥I combined two pieces for this one, “St. George” by Solomon J Solomon and “Michael defeats Satan” by Guido Reni. I love the motif of Tanjiro holding Nezuko while slaying Muzan. I’m a little sad his katana wouldn’t work for this piece (as katanas are shorter in terms of swords and are typically wielded with both hands contrary to western swords) But I love how it turned out regardless! I love Nezuko’s little manicure 💅 and I chose to go with Tanjiro’s less controversial earrings. Muzan doesn’t look half bad down there 😳

Oh that two year gap on my resume was when I was the architect of my own hell

Drawing Tanizaki Junichiro from BSD Beast because I got scammed and never got my manga.

Crying. Never ordering anywhere ever again.

don't disturb him, he's dramatic today

I’m reading bsd BEAST rn… Junichiro and Akutagawa need to kiss right NOW or I’m gonna lose it.

hey, what are you lookin’ at / like you never seen a broken man?

Let's try this again

I love being a multishipper

requests in which skk decide they need a third

Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife...

Beast TaniAku clears every other ship, and it's not even close.

This duo completely and utterly captivated me, everything about them lifts my heart to Heaven.

"Oh, he's the only one who makes me feel human," well, Tanizaki was the first person to show Akutagawa kindness and friendship. The first one to sympathize with Akutagawa's pain, truly the first one to bring out the humanity in him.

"Oh, he'd do crazy shit for me," Tanizaki has a non-combat ability and no real fighting skills, but he still pulled up at the Mafia Headquarters and took hostage an assassin, all to show Akutagawa that he "wasn't alone."

"Oh, he's just as insane as I am, he gets me," Tanizaki was the only one who consistently supported Akutagawa's desire to take revenge on Dazai. He told Akutagawa, over and over again, to forget his duty as an agency member and to show no mercy towards the one who hurt him.

"Oh, our abilities are so compatible," if you think Rashomon is dangerous, wait until you're not sure where the sharp limbs are attacking you from.

And their dynamic in the beginning??? Tanizaki being so shy and scared, Akutagawa being mad because he was rough with Naomi?? The questions and awkwardness, but then the easy friendship?? Tanizaki giving his stamp with no conditions?? Akutagawa promising he would be the first to know when he found Gin??

They're so cute and lovely and happy and iconic and I adore them so much, because their meeting wasn't something extraordinary or fated or tragic or loud– it was just two people who found comfort and strength in each other.
