someone I follow on the bird app just announced they’re starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they’re reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic
I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS
I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there’s 10,000 other people that will continue…but if you participate in a fic “book club” server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?
the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don’t rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit “post”

because me and my petty self want to claim this headcanon :’)
mei and mitsuba haven’t been shown interacting aside a short time in picture perfect arc and it’s such a waste because their parallels are so absolutely interesting and i’m in love with the idea of sibling relationship shijimitsu
like
so
but
once, mitsuba tried to find a place to stay within the seven mysteries and kinda got rejected by most of them. however, the one he wasn’t shown interacting with was with shijima, and they get along together well enough, looking at their interactions in picture perfect...
not to mention these parallels;
they’re both 'fakes'. the second unoriginal versions of people who used to be alive, people who used to be there and talk to others and make an impact on the world.
their original selves were both artists. they drew what was important, immortalizing it in their photos and paintings and sketches and film. original mitsuba’s ghost took a picture of kou before getting turned into no. 3 by tsukasa. original mei drew her ideal self, in a tower, and created her second self. both these things were important to them.
their second selves were created because their original selves had a wish. to live on, and to have & stay with friends...
and slowly, their second selves started to grow indifferent to their original selves’ forms of expression. shijima seems to only draw for functionality instead of for her own enjoyment or curiosity or expression, but her art has so much more meaning now that they create more than just an impression of life—they make life. and mitsuba doesn’t even know anything anymore, amnesia go brrrr (ty @ocelotlesbian for pointing this out)
i have so much to say about how shijima’s art is being used more as a tool for convenience instead of how the original mei used it—even natsuhiko & tsukasa are trying to annoy her for stuff—and not to mention the things they could do with this ability if someone thought about it enough (she, tsuchigomori, yako & the clock keepers are so completely broken i can’t even—these are the mysteries, of course, but i’m so glad they’re passively watching everything unfold because if they took matters into their own hands it’d be absolute chaos look at the clock keepers arc)
and i henceforth i headcanon
these two siblings doing art together afterschool in an art room. do we normally see mitsuba in hanako’s bathroom after school? no... and he’s scared of tsukasa. absolutely traumatised. ignore the afterschool episodes, i want mitsuba to turn on his heel and walk straight to the art room, skipping the fourth step.
after he has his melancholy talks and tear-filled arguments with kou he goes over and whines to shijima and they watch a movie on a projector and eat ice cream from a minifridge.
bonus points if mei uses her sketchbook to draw tissues for them. they literally have infinite ice cream and tissues
after the aquarium trip, i don’t think he could return to kou’s house (teru) & he also loses more energy the further away he is from the school SO i’d like to say he walks over, finds shijima & just cries to her the entire time about how kou is being difficult
shijima (unbothered queen) hands him her sketchbook w a drawing of a tissue box inside and 'mhm's every few minutes
it’s such a nice dynamic i love them so much
WHAT IF THEY RELEARNED THEIR PAST SELVES’ HOBBIES TOGETHER
like mitsuba learning how to hold a camera w his hand
shijima teaches him how to sketch, they go on small trips around the school at night to look at items in the moonlight
mitsuba absolutely destroys any supernaturals in their way (i need shijima to force him to eat occasionally and he will have to listen)
no but shijima is perfectly able to handle them herself
cue shijima pulling a sword from her sketchbook and slicing supernaturals into pieces
but what if their past versions met in some sort of afterlife and mei teaches him to sketch & mitsuba shows mei his favorite photos and anglings and they watch birds & draw them and take photos and think about their lives and-
bonus: YAKO.
yako’s stairs are said to lead up to the art room 👀
so what if...
(i’ll finish this later lmao)
i need this to be canon. sibling mei & mitsuba. pls.
thank you for reading ♡ drink some water~

there just aren't any girls cuter than me...
it's a picture perfect day for a (grainy, low quality, bad lighting) OC DEBUT!!!!
(and of course she's half designed to be a self-insert~ my inner cringe is showing)
say hiiiii !!
let's get to the info under the cut <3
warning: cinna backstory!
perfect day for this post, because she is the paintbrush from picture perfect arc~
i chose the paintbrush for reasons!! not just because i love it...
since she's supposed to be half self-insert, almost everything is referenced from my irl appearance but exaggerated for the artstyle!
even her legs/ankles, which are all wonky because of amane, are referenced slightly, but not as much ofc :')
i get random ankle injuries (rolling, breaking, etc) wayyyy too often... to the point where you can see that my posture's all wonky, so this is a perfect fit 😔
anyways! tsym for reading my short indulgent post <3 have a nice day!
