Being a Saikik fanartist is really cool and all…

But after deciding to draw Aren on his motorcycle I ended up doing way more research than intended while trying to find out which motorbike he rides and ending up falling into a rabbit hole on the history of the Bōzōzoku biker gangs of Japan ( similar to American greasers or British rockers ) and watching multiple documentaries only to change Aren’s canon bike to a modded mix mash of various old Suzuki bikes except still after all that I have no clue how to draw the engine.

Anyways here’s a photo of the the bike, I haven’t actually drawn Aren yet but we’ll get there. Also I may or may not animate it a bit:)

Something a bit sad to think about though is that Bōsōzoku culture was dying when Aren was in his gang because saikik is vaguely set in 2010 and that’s when there was a major decline so he was never there for the peak of Bōsōzoku culture so it most likely wasn’t all too enjoyable. I imagine it’s kind of like being in a dying fandom if you were to try to make it more relatable.

I like these guys

some stuff i did not post here. no i am not mentally well

I initially made this in part so I could post it on Tiktok too because they drive me insane with how much they hate Teruhashi, but then I yapped too much for anybody there to actually want to read my slides 😔 Unfortunate

Btw I hate AI. I hate all forms of AI idc how pretentious or fun killing I sound I think AI will be the death of critical thinking and literacy. I fear if we let it take over it’ll take away jobs and water down art taking the hard work and humanity out of it.

That said, I’d prefer you not put anything relating to my fics into AI.

Silly me googled ppp today bc I was going to edit some stuff and couldn’t be bothered to hunt through my ao3 for it. Silly me also stumbled across character AI bots (is that what they’re called) inspired by ppp James??

So I will say if you want to create your own complicated or mentally ill versions of James with AI that’s your own choice. You do that! Not my business. If you’re simply inspired by it and none of my own ideas or work are being fed into it, my own feelings on AI have no business dictating what you do. BUT I ask that you please never feed any of my actual writing into AI.

I’ve seen AI artwork of my fics too and it’s also always given me a funny feeling. So just setting the boundary, please don’t put any of my actual writing into AI please and thank you 🩷

I've made a Saiki shipping chart!

Template below >:) Feel free to tag me if you use it! I've noticed there weren't any good templates available. A lot of them were missing characters... So I've made my own :) Enjoy!

outdated?? kinda
