One. Your art as always so crunchy and soft, but fluffy. Like creme and yellow or something. Or Turkish pistachio cake(try it with mint tea, it's amazingššāŗļø)
Two. Tomi my love, you are so beautiful and that is a blessing in itself(I imagine Douma calling it that, only reason to use it now huh?). Also, I see the 'first interaction, then falling for someone trope years later' your doing *squints eyes*
Three. I find it interesting that Enmu has a hard time bonding with kid than Douma. Reminds me of post partum depression but kinda switched(My dad didn't bond with me quickly as a baby or toddler, so I kinda get it.)
Four. I notice whenever I look for Tomi eyes they are harder to find in your black and white sketches. When I think it's their eyes, I realized that is its eye-lid. Then thought of a cool thing: if their eyes glowed, it could be seen beneath the lid. Kinda like a creepy but mystical vibe, a new way to lure in prey or something(fish like shiny light)
Tldr: great art *nom and gives fish to Tomi and therapy gift card to Enmu and Doumu.*(Why did I proof read this 6 times to be perfect??)
(One) That sounds delicious. I will be trying it as soon as possible.
(Two) I should have known something was cooking when you went through all my Tomi posts š /pos
Also, with Shuumei and Tomi, while I wasn't really going in with a trope in mind, it definitely falls into it. I just imagined that a kid with no other social bonds would attach pretty quickly to whoever showed them any form of affection. Tomi never had friends or a social circle, so Shuumei is quite literally its entire world beyond its parents. If Shuumei wasn't a nicer person than they are, Tomi would be exploited very easily. That isn't to say what Tomi does struggle with in relation to Shuumei isn't difficult though. When your love interest's parents are former Hashira, you can't expect their favor. No matter how many years its been since the demon war ended.
(Three) There's a reason that Enmu bonded with Douma but not Tomi. Enmu is an inherently selfish and unempathetic person. He didn't even like Douma when he first met him, he was just using him to take over his rank. He didn't feel remorse until he realized that Douma was genuinely on his side and that Douma was aware that Enmu was using him, he just didn't care because he was desperate for the company. Douma proved many times that he was useful and reliable. He treated Enmu like he was worth being alive, even though Enmu believed the opposite. The bond that Douma earned with Enmu is one a baby never earned. Even if it is his and Douma's baby. It doesn't serve him in any way beyond the fact Tomi's birth meant Douma focused less on his depressive spiral and gave him something to live for. Very honestly, when Tomi was born, he could only conceptualize it as a tool for keeping Douma happy and alive. But he didn't want to be like that when he thought of his own mother who treated his own birth like a tool to keep his father with her (and it didn't even work). So he starts to put in the effort, but still really struggles to emotionally bond with Tomi. He just really doesn't know how to, and it makes him feel constantly inferior that Douma bonded with Tomi effortlessly when Enmu couldn't. It felt like a piece of him was broken and that whatever instinctive drive a parent was supposed to have was missing inside him. He doesn't understand his relationship to Tomi as a bond until Tomi starts developing an easily detectable personality, since Tomi stops being a lump of meat in his eyes and starts being a person he can engage with and understand.
(Four) That's interesting! Tomi actually does have light reflective eyes, though it's not quite the same as what you're thinking of. See this post.
Fun fact, Tomi's body (while it can physically eat non human meats and keep them down) can only minimally process animal meats. That is why they're so twiggy. They basically have the demon version if pica. It doesn't like how it feels to eat human meat, and often felt sick or uncomfortable as a result. So it switches to animal meats to try and find something that didn't sit so roughly in the gut. They found it but it's not nutritionally dense for a demon to eat animal meats.
Thank you Derek, menswear guide, for reminding me why paying more to be free advertising for brands is dumb.
Trump is probably going to remove the TikTok ban shortly after his inauguration and secure a chunk of the youth vote.
is it normal to be in pain after writing? More specifically your face? Just wanna make sure of something.
Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.
For those who donāt know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Hereās how to (somewhat) sniff them out:
1- They donāt seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or donāt even follow you.
2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.
3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.
4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.
5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.
What should you do if you come across one of these guys? My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isnāt really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.

Hey yāall especially those in swing states, eyes up:
The elongated muskrat has engaged in blatant election interference by putting out a fake voter registration page on Google ads with the clear intention to dupe voters into thinking they have actually registered to vote. Itās likely also a data harvesting tactic.
Hopefully this gets immediately flagged and taken down but we all know this fascist chucklefuck will not see consequences to his actions and this is something that would drag out in court. Spread the word. Only register to vote through state board or check vote.org for more resources. Do not register through anything else ESPECIALLY if it has some sort of clear motivation.

Putting this as a meme so maybe y'all will actually read it.
Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.
And this is why we cannot let Trump win another term: he now has complete immunity for any acts he "officially" performs as president. You thought he was bad before? Now he will have zero fear. He will do whatever he wants. And what he wants is outlined in Project 2025.
