Mia // she/her// ART/DOODLE REQUESTS OPEN // 24 // Primarily AOT, KNY, other anime, etc

Art requests are OPEN. Send in any requests you have!!! Please bear in mind this isn’t paid work so:

  • The final product can range from a sketch to a fully-coloured piece, depending on what inspires me
  • I have the right to leave requests unanswered if they are sensitive/uninspiring topics [N$FW, extreme violence, and shows I don’t watch] or if the sender is being impolite.
  • I’m a full-time med student irl so please be patient!!!

Currently enjoying: AOT/SNK, Mob Psycho 100, Spy X Family, Demon Slayer, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache

life just goes on no matter what

I’m a little sad we didn’t get to see canonical kid versions of the rest of the Lupgang in Lupin Zero SO take these headcanons of the 2 best characters in the gang:

  • Kōichi Zenigata had always been a good student, a real old-fashioned gentleman through and through. He was hardworking, helpful, and one of the best Class Presidents you could ever hope to vote in. He had no shortage of admirers (both secret and not) too. But where he really shone was on the school’s baseball team.
  • Zenigata was his high school’s star pitcher. His signature move was, ironically, “The Handcuff” — a hard-hit ground ball that bounces directly at an infielder, causing it to be difficult for the ball to be hit. (Look it up, it’s a real thing!)
  • He joined law enforcement because that was what his father did too, and he grew up believing that it was the right and noble thing to do. With his impeccable work ethic and strategic intelligence, he quickly landed a job with the ICPO.
  • On one of Zenigata’s first cases with the ICPO, he was among a squad deployed to the USA to investigate rumours of a midnight heist on the Japanese wing of a prestigious art gallery.
  • Hours before the rumoured heist, Zenigata was patrolling the area near the gallery while undercover, when he stumbled upon a group of rowdy teenagers gathered around a narrow alley. At that time, the sun had already set, and it was odd for a group of teens to be out this late — Zenigata, ever the Boy Scout, began to approach them to ask what they were doing, when he noticed that the group was gathered around a small child. A small child that was red-faced, clearly trying to hide his tears.
  • And as he got closer, Zenigata could hear the teens jeering and taunting the boy in English, while the boy seemed to only be able to stutter out Japanese sentences: “Please leave me alone”, “I didn’t do anything to you”, “I don’t understand you”.
  • Now, Zenigata was no stranger to the way most of the world treated people like him — having been deployed outside Japan many times even as a rookie officer, Zenigata knew how racist and xenophobic people could be. And so it was with a stern look and flash of his badge that the teens quickly scattered.
  • The boy, still crying softly, now tried to stand up as tall as possible, smoothing out the scuffs on his Haori and Kimono in a strangely dignified way. A Haori and Kimono! A strangely formal outfit for a child no older than 10.
  • That aside, this was no hour for a child to be out alone. Zenigata asked where the kid’s parents were, in Japanese and the softest voice he could manage. The child only said, “They said I’m supposed to look out for them here.”
  • Zenigata hummed. He disappeared, then minutes later returned with a pack of convenience store sushi. “Well, if you’re gonna wait here alone, I think it’s best if a cop waits with you.”
  • The child said nothing, but nodded and crammed another tuna roll in his mouth. (Quite the appetite this kid had, thought Zenigata.)
  • The hours flew by, Zenigata keeping an eye on the stragglers heading in and out of the art gallery, accompanied by a kid who looked like he’d stepped straight out of a Japanese folk tale but demolished almost a whole 7/11’s worth of sushi. The boy seemed quite happy to have someone who spoke his language, chattering away to Zenigata about the strange things he’d seen in America.
  • Soon, Zenigata was interrupted by the crackling of his radio — indeed, a gang of thieves had arrived to break into the gallery, and all officers were called in to apprehend them. Apologising to the boy, Zenigata rushed off.
  • A couple hours later, in a flurry of adrenaline, blaring sirens, and blue and red lights, the thieves had been apprehended — a Japanese gang intending to take back a rightful piece of their history. (Zenigata couldn’t say he disagreed with the sentiment, but the job was the job.)
  • By the time Zenigata returned to where he’d left the boy, he was gone. Wherever he was, Zenigata could only pray that the adorable, old-fashioned little boy with the ravenous appetite was safe.
  • (Of course, unbeknownst to him, Zenigata would meet the little boy again — this time, Zenigata would have a couple more grey hairs, and the little boy would have a katana sharp enough to cut lightning.)

@goemons-eyelashes HELLO I RETURN WITH A SNIPPET OF THE FIC YOUVE INSPIRED ME TO WRITE -

It’s got a very part 2 flavour to it because I just really like how silly it is! And also inspired by my own interactions with children.

Had the sudden realization that Reigen was only approx 23 years old when he started S&S??? Which means the guy had his midlife crisis in his early 20s 😭

And also so many of his questionable business/money spending decisions can be attributed to the fact that he is young and has little to no life savings or experience...

what's the water container symbolism with reigen

CASS YOU COULD'VE JUST ASKED IN DISCORD DMS LAMAHAHAHDFN BUT THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME AN EXCUSE TO POST THIS

Okay uh. It's been a hot minute since I've seen the Separation Arc (it is really hard for me to watch) but I will attempt to do something coherent...

i wanted to compile as many outfits as i could find from some of our main characters to summarize what we know about their general fashion senses :] to make it easier to figure out what to draw them wearing. drawing from both the anime & official art- not the manga sorry, i don't have that saved & on-hand. ignoring official art where everyone's wearing something on theme (ie the ones where they all have hawaiian shirts, or suits, etc), and not putting school uniforms or pajamas in either.

tumblr limits posts to 30 images so this isnt done yet bc 30 only covered mob and ritsu (28 total). teru tome and shou in the reblogs

  1. mob

i like mob's outfits a lot. the monkey shirt is so important, please note that the sleeves of the monkey shirt sleeves came pre-ripped, they're supposed to be like that.

2. ritsu

hoodies boy, boy of one million hoodies. also has a couple of the same longsleeve sweatshirt+striped sweatpants in different colors that he only wears at home (there's at least 5 separate occasions where he has those on at home).

3. teru

teru

4. tome

tome has unfortunately few outfits in anime or in official art (relatively speakng, at least) besides her middle & high school uniforms, but she seems to like overalls!

5. shou

he owns at least 3 discrete black leather jackets. also i maintain that shou stole that pink hoodie from ritsu. which ritsu in turn stole from mob (see: above screenshot from season 1 of mob wearing pink hoodie)

this ones a snippet from a ONE artwork of a bunch of characters wearing the monkey shirt (i think for a merch release, hence why the sleeves are not pre-ripped), in various states of embarrassment and distress. look at how happy shou is. look at his stance. he fucking loves monkey shirt. this is SO important

6. reigen

7. the rest of the telepathy club

(qna translation via wireddd1 on twitter) inukawa fucking loves dog-themed clothing

8. serizawa

not much for him :[ the vast majority of official arts with serizawa that i have are ones where everyone's wearing an outfit on-theme, like the hawaiian shirts or formalwear. also, the orange coat he has in that official art is in his suitcase in the onsen ova! i just like that detail

9. outfits for folks from earlier that i missed

Been thinking about how Reigen has different "modes" that he switches between, e.g.

  • Customer Service (the standard when he's in the office or giving advice; mask is friendly and professional)
  • Flailing Muppet (certain customer consults; instinctive response to stress/danger/confusion)
  • I Am Completely In Control Of This Situation (*slams* that mask on while screaming internally; used in high-stakes situations; mask is calm and calculating)
  • The Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Known (rare and fleeting moments of earnest openness which I treasure like gems)

adhd reigen not in a “hes so goofy and silly” way but in a “he has a tendency to hyperfixate on things then drop them the moment he gets bored, has trouble forming genuine relationships with people because he’s so dedicated to making himself likable, is terrified of rejection and actively self sabotages to avoid it” kinda way
