An AU based on the anime, “Beyond the Boundary.” Inspired by art made by @summersnowleopard.
Keith Kogane is the sole survivor of a clan of Spirit World warriors with the power to employ their blood as weapons.
As such, Keith is tasked with hunting down and killing “youmu"—creatures said to be the manifestation of negative human emotions.
One day, while deep in thought on the school roof, Keith comes across Lance Charles McClain, a rare half-breed of youmu in human form. In a panicked state, he plunges his blood saber into him only to realize that he’s an immortal being.
From then on, the two form an impromptu friendship that revolves around Keith constantly trying to kill Lance, in an effort to boost his own wavering confidence as a Spirit World warrior.
Eventually, Lance also manages to convince him to join the Literary Club, which houses two other powerful Spirit World warriors, Tsuyoshi "Hunk” Garret and Katie “Pidge” Holt. As the group’s bond strengthens, however, so does the tenacity of the youmu around them.
Their misadventures will soon turn into a fight for survival as the inevitable release of the most powerful youmu, Beyond the Boundary, approaches.
So, I know Suicide Squad won best makeup, but can we just take a moment to appreciate the makeup in Star Trek Beyond anyway? I mean, just look at these:
First off, Kalara. The color gradient and the ridges are just gorgeous.
For Natalia, who only even in this one scene, they had to create super-light prostheses, AND they used a new iridescent, color-shifting pigment that had never been used in makeup before.
Those lights on Krall? They’re not CG. They imbedded fiber optics into the prosthesis.
And Jaylah. Wonderful Jaylah, they made a “bulletproof” makeup formula that won’t bleed at all and then APPLIED ALL OF THOSE LINES BY HAND.
I just… LOOK
AT
THESE
big vs tiny
I’m really kinda feelin this tho
Homesick Lance is my weakness
EDIT: There is now a follow-up comic!
keith gets sad when lance lets them fly away
ask and I shall answer — this is Yuuei’s unicorn daughter now ♫
Lance: The name’s Lance? Keith: … Lance: We were in the same class at the garrison? Keith: Oh, really, are you…err.. Keith internally: don’t say single don’t say single don’t say single Keith: …an engineer?
(Headcanon that Keith did remember Lance but only as ‘that cute cargo pilot from Iverson’s class with the hair and the blue eyes’ and decided it was less embarrassing to just pretend he’d forgotten him entirely)
Marriage, I am single. Chipotle, I am broke. Money, I am unemployed. . .
I don't care what you say, after seeing this I can't be upset
These are my obsessions; the thoughts that keep me up at night and the stitches of my personality that make me human.
