Sorry I’m So Normal About Them (lie)

Do you want to know what’s so truly sickening in this scene? The moment where Matakara removed the jacket + armband and then dumped it into the sea water you can tell by Kenichiro’s expression (even if it remained the same as it is) that he was disappointed in himself, that he failed to live up to Mitsukuni’s promise to him to look after Matakara.

Honestly, even if Ken was pretty forgettable (no thanks to certain story directions btw) as a character, I definitely feel sorry for him.

The most painful part? That jacket belonged to Mitsukuni. So to see Matakara throwing away the last reminder of his brother, the only family that he had left and doing it in front of his brother’s most trusted comrade and leader who did whatever he can to keep Matakara safe is just truly saddening.

WHAT

Matakara... Idiot. You're not alone.

Buddy needs a break ;;m;;

apparently i hadn’t drawn rosie and camilla together since january, so i’ve rectified the situation… i love them so much

I had this idea about Arajin and Matakara floating around in my head recently, so I couldn't help but go into it a little more and wanted to share it here too, it's kind of short

When they were kids Matakara sleeps over at Arajin's house and asks him "How does it feel to have a mom?" but his friend had fallen asleep…

Some time after they had reconciled, Matakara sleeps over at Arajin's house and can't help but ask him that same question again. Arajin, knowing what that means to him, answers him…

Arajin: She can be annoying at times, it seems like she's always watching every step you take, she asks you questions out of place and even behaves in an embarrassing way. But… she's also the one who welcomes you home with a smile and a plate of freshly made food, she's always happy to see you, she teaches you many things saying that it's for your own good, or she'll tell you that you look handsome even if you don't think so.

Matakara: Yes… I think that's it, actually... I'd forgotten. I should thank your mother for reminding me, it was nice.

Arajin: So that's what it was about… well, she's always been like that (She became very insistent about that after telling her about Matakara's parents).

Matakara: She's been very kind to me, I really appreciate it.

Arajin: It's not so strange if you think about it.… you're my best friend after all… in some way that makes you part of the family, doesn't it? Besides... since she raised me well, I don't need so much attention anymore.
