The Floor Is Loving Bakura

Real, I wish I could wake up like this everyday

POV: You wake up and see an angel above you.

Well, I can officially say that after 5 months and too many setbacks, Philosophy of a Knife will finally be updated with chapter 16. I'm very excited to share it with you all, and I already have plans for the next chapter, so it definitely will not take another half-year to update. On a side note, this year I will almost definitely pass half a million words logged on ao3, and that is very cool to me.

This chapter goes out to all the commenters on ch15 whose kinds words encouraged me to buckle down, as well as @loveless-beloved-must-be-loved who I randomly came across reccing it in a tumblr post out in the wild recently, which really helped me get back on track. I love all my readers!

Another piece I commissioned from @viviraptor-art, for Mau's fanfic, Resent and Discernment in Rachel.

Ok I'm legit not into Steel Ball Run but damn this looks amazing. Love how the entire thing is framed with the golden rectangle and Gyro's got saaaasss.

always fucks me up how every major male SVSSS character barring liu qingge (dead for all of PIDW) and shen yuan (literal transmigrator) have some variation of airplane bro's personality, insecurity, and shitty coping mechanisms. like.

shen jiu!qingqiu lashing out, letting people assume terrible shit about him because it's easier than trying to clarify his intentions only for his actions and words to be misinterpreted anyway?

yue qingyuan being politely vacant, aimless and self-deprecative, believing himself a failure who deserves to be hated?

og!shang qinghua being a cannon fodder "cowardly traitor", cut off from protection and money and killed by his former liege?

mobei-jun having deeper set issues with trust and loyalty, especially from family members and personal servants?

tianlang-jun's naivete and emotional attachment leading indirectly to his being sealed under a mountain miserable and alone for years?

zhuzhi-lang's excessive degree of loyalty to people who show him sincere kindness, since most people find him ugly and unapproachable?

PIDW!luo binghe's emotional apathy and detachment after all he suffered; him being rewritten into an overpowered, intelligent, revenge-driven, manipulative man so good in bed he can force anyone to join his harem?

SVSSS!luo binghe being similar to the above, but otherwise being clingy, deeply insecure, clumsy and inefficient in bed and in love?

SVSSS!luo binghe being desperate to maintain emotional connections and terrified of the perception that he's being abandoned by someone he loves and looks up to?

SVSSS!luo binghe being willing to go to concerning extremes to find out WHY that person changed their mind and chose to hurt him, abandon him, and what he can do to fix things?

SVSSS!luo binghe's most bitter anguish being the thought that they despise him and are throwing him away for unchangeable aspects of who he is, for being himself?

PIDW was originally a romanceless web novel driven by its unique fantasy setting and lore. it was stripped down of those elements to make way for cliche heterosexual porn tropes until it became an inconsistent male power fantasy harem novel that fickle readers-- whose money pay airplane's bills now that his parents both remarried and started new families, cutting off basically all money and contact with him-- would keep reading.

everything about PIDW (and SVSSS) reflects part of airplane. not only the characters' personalities and experiences, but the original story as a whole, considering how much of it (of himself) airplane ended up sacrificing and shuttering away to present a different image that would be more easily accepted.

Are you going to draw fan art of hajime no ippo again? Because they're the reason I discovered your blog (which is kinda you know because I'm a huge jojofan) and I may or not have developed a massive crush on your Miyata

Thank you for liking the Miyata I draw! I will most likely to draw Haijime no Ippo again in the near future:D
