I May Or May Not Be Testing Designs For A Link Character While I Do A Bit More Anatomy Work. They Girl

Panel redraw for funsies! Still not great with human anatomy, but I love these lads too much

Bro this is such a great take on Akechi and Sumire's characters actually you're so right holy shit.

Ykw ykw im just gonna post a rant I made on Discord, Ahem:

Akechi is kind of the embodiment of parts of the thieves that make them, well.. Shitty thieves. Parts of themselves that inconvenience other people, or make them difficult, or otherwise present a reason that they might not be worthy of their power. The version of the thieves who got caught up in their own justice and fame.

And weirdly enough, I feel like Sumire kind of has a similar thing going on, but with parts of themselves they find pitiable. The version of the thieves who seem helpless without Joker to motivate them, children crying out for help.

Longer rant under cut

Akechi is the Ryuji who views everyone with inherent mistrust and hostility, because people who should’ve been good to him have hurt him before. Sumire is the Ryuji who lost a feeling of fulfillment from his sporty hobby after a traumatic event and wants that back more than anything.

Akechi is the Ann with a childish streak, for whom the only reason they didn’t murder their least favorite person in the entire world was out of a desire for him to just suffer far worse than that, who has grand dreams of fame. Sumire is the Ann who is socially awkward and blames herself for every tragic happenstance and who wants to prove herself to everyone.

Akechi is the Yusuke who was used as a pawn by his abusive father and settled into that life because it was just comfortable. Sumire is the Yusuke who wanted that life back more than anything, because things were normal back then.

Akechi is the Makoto who was willing to insinuate Ann was responsible for Shiho’s attempt just to hurt her, who played into a system she knew was cruel because as long as she swam with the current she wouldn’t get hurt. Sumire is the Makoto who so so desperately wishes she was her older sister, who feels she’ll never escape from her shadow.

Akechi is the Futaba who believed her life ended after her mother died, that she’ll never recover from that, she was too far-gone. And Sumire is a Futaba who was told she was right. And her only way out is for Joker to fix her. If not him she’ll take anyone really.

Akechi is the Haru with a sadistic side festering beneath her smiley, soft exterior, thoughts of vengeance brewing against the man who ruined her life. And she just has to keep it down, be a good girl, be polite. Sumire is the Haru who’s learned to stop fighting, because the person she is, is not and will never be good enough. She just falls into the same routine she’s always been in, because what’s the point in trying if she’ll always fail, or if no one will listen.

A few of my favorite expressions in this update because I adore them all

This man is not having fun in the sun

Blorbo on boat, he just a wittle guy.

"I am about to fucking kill you but I am required to be polite"

Surprisingly enough Darkstalker is in fact, quite large. Turns out dragons don't get like, grey hair and wizard beards when they get old, they just get large

Darkstalker (Wings of Fire)

Hey guys *shoves my 7 other WIPS off to the side*

Anyone wanna join me in writing some existential dread fics where game protagonists don't have control over their own choices? I feel like the Undertale/Deltarune fandom has a monopoly on these kinds of works and I think more video game fandoms should make their silent protagonists into vessels for all the whump and angst in the world

Yo! How do you find someone to help with a fic you're trying to write? I don't really have friends that like Linked universe, and I need someone to help me figure out how to actually write 👉👈

Have a mediocre painting of my favorite twink that I made at like,, midnight last night. As a treat.

Alt versions, because I'm indecisive

Everyone's gotta look at this it's gorgeous

Off at shore, new land awaits.

I just want to finish writing Hero of Storms but nooooo, I need to write a fic that's a gang meets LITERALLY ANYONE BUT WILD.

Y'all ever just be bumming around your preferred fanfiction website, realizing that no one's written this one thing you really want to see, and going "fine! I'll write it myself!" And then staring guilty at the works in progress you really want to finish as you open a 15th Google doc?

I'm starting to think it was never real in the first place, just a figment of my imagination lost to the recesses of my mind. On the upside, there are a lot of really freaking cool black mask Joker designs out there. Like, damn persona 5 artists did not have to go that hard but they did anyway and it's glorious.

I swear I am scouring the globe looking for that one freaking black mask redesign where they have him iridescent black pants and called atlus cowards but I can't find it anywhere it's so upsetting
