Just a quick sketch and base color of Kiku with her Baba. (Her parent, they raised her after finding her.) The two in the background are her actual birth parents though. She's never met them in her life. Nor does she know if they're actually alive. But it doesn't matter, she's got Baba.
Baba is a bard as well. Which is how she got into music in the first place. They're a loving person who, just like their daughter, care about others very dearly.
First off 🎉🌟congrats on that grind of 5k🌟🎉 you've always been an amazing artist and just a real tubular dude!
Secondly, may I please submit one of these request? Katsura x Shino spice, can't ever have too much of them or- or some very steamy hot Nanami Kento x Kin propaganda?
Whichever fuels the flames!
Keep being radical and have a gnarly day 🏄‍♀️
Far out, asking for the love bugs!! Of course I could not not feed the Kin and Nanamin, so check your inbox for the agenda 🤙
A sketch dump from some of my free time this past month or two- don’t recall when I started it.
was bored at work today, wrote some drabbels at the request of and for friends. ( Hawks x OC/ Kakashi x OC / Dabi x OC / Shibi X OC / Kakashi x Zabuza / Fatgum x OC / Kakashi x OC returns)

Kin & Shibi - Write about your ship celebrating their anniversary. for @qettleqorn
Before you get married, you are usually assaulted with an onslaught of well meaning advice about what the hardest part of marriage might be. Shibi feels like he got an especially high amount of that “good” advice because he was bringing a true outsider into the family. Everything from “she will get fat” (as if that mattered) to “she will just run away with a younger man” (what could he do about such a thing? Never get married?).
But none of them mentioned the truly hardest part about marriage, the fight he saw himself confronted with every year like some real annoying fly that would only come out in summer and then never stop following him around.
What to buy your spouse for your wedding anniversary? That- truly, was the hardest thing about marriage that nobody ever told you about.
As if looking for presents wasn’t already difficult enough, Shibi also managed to get a wife that he can’t buy jewelry for. Well, he probably could buy jewelry for her, but not only does she have already massive amounts of it, but she can also make them herself. Probably better than other stores could. Either way, this option was always out for him.
Year after year, he scraped by with some present or other. A rare species he found or modified to look especially beautiful, a big dinner, a new dress, decoration for the hair, more gem stones for the store, such things. It always put so much stress on him and he never felt it was good enough.
Now, after 15 years of this, he feels completely burned out on ideas. And the anniversary day is right there staring at him on his calendar. His mind is completely blank. There is nothing there. He is empty.
He could always ask Kin to just not gift anything for the anniversary. If they’d agree not to gift each other, he’d be free of his burden. But unfortunately Kin was always a rather good gift giver and would probably not agree, or agree on a “You don’t have to buy me anything, I’ll buy something for you though” basis, which would be no good.
Agony. Pain.
“I don’t know what your problem is,” his eldest son shrugs with his shoulders. “I don’t think mom expects much.” Shibi should know better than to ask teenagers for advice.
“I get my wife flowers too, so you can buy jewelry as well.” Shibi stares at Inochi, no way that guy buys his wife, who owns a flower shop, flowers for their anniversary. “You are so lazy.” Shibi walks away.
“She doesn’t like that sort of romantic stuff,” Shikaku puts his head to the side. “We usually just spent time away with Shikamaru either being with his grandparents or just on his own.” Shibi makes a sour face. What kind of present is “hanging out”? He walks away. Time to give up. His friends are no good either.
Yet, time keeps moving on, as cruel as that may be and the morning of the anniversary Shibi is non the wiser. There is no way he can let Kin know that he has nothing for her this time, that despite his best efforts he came home empty. The only thing he can do is distract her well enough that she won’t notice.
From morning until evening he is there for her at every moment. Making breakfast, helping her in the store, buying her lunch at the café in town she likes. When she askes to see the bug farm he takes her there, to that colourful species she likes. He carries the shopping bags as the sun sets and prepares dinner for the family in the evening. All through out, Kin doesn’t mention the anniversary a single time. His mission is a full success.
Night rolls around and both of them sit next to each other on the couch in their living room, when Kin turns her head and says: “I feel a little bad, despite my best efforts, I could not think of a gift for you for today.”
Shibi feels the sweat at his neck. So she has not forgotten. “Well, I – I’m glad”, he humms. “I couldn’t think of one either.”
Kin blinks: “What do you mean? You gave me one!?”
He blinks back: “No, I didn’t! What should I have given you?”
She laughs, the most beautiful sound in the world. “You spent the entire day with me! That was my gift I thought.” She leans forward and kisses his cheek. “It was the greatest gift too.”
Ah, Shibi thinks, that’s what Shikaku meant.
This is a martenitsa - a wool-made adornment that symbolizes the beginning of spring, health and happiness. Every year on March 1st we exchange these little decorations as gifts.
This is a gift from me to you.I am wishing you good health, love and luck ❤️
Happy Baba Marta!
!!!! Thank you!
This boy is extremely appealing and a demisexual panromantic rep! I adore him and the comfort this game has brought me.
Still working on her color pallet but hey some quick sketches!
Hi, I'm Qettle and this is my treasue blog. For now this is a fairly friendly space, but I am an adult (27+) so that may change. I also don't draw just for one fandom, so if you're expecting that. Please understand I don't draw often and it's usually of my own ocs. So if you don't want to see my ocs, just know you've been warned.
