Delamblah For Your TL Today

I sent a similar ask to another Anbai fan a while back, and I think you'd get a kick out of it too: I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li is an Anbai song 100%

I've actually had that song in my likes playlist for a while now! I never really considered it before, but I can see the first verse being from Anji's POV now that I think about it. Also the following motif that's prevalent in their relationship, following her no matter what path she takes perhaps.

I would love to see Bedman (without the question mark) in your style! Bonus if he's with Delilah.

And again, love your stuff! ❤️

Hope I captured his smug bastard energy well enough!

i noticed you post your art on ao3 occasionally and I’m curious if you have any GG fic recommendations? I like the majority of the cast so idc who it’s about, just curious if you’ve got any :3

I'm going to be completely honest with you here, I may not be the best person to ask for GG fic recs... because I mainly came here for one pairing and I don't really dabble much outside of that, and I'm also a bit more picky with this fandom than with others. That being said, off the top of my head I think some fics I've enjoyed reading so far have been:

Mundane & Lazy Life by somewheresometimewatching, which is a series of introspective stories of the Bedfamily's lives after Strive. I really enjoy how much thought the author's put into how they'd think and how they'd interact, it feels like a nice mix between being somewhat realistic but also true to the characters themselves. It's got a lot of heart put into it, so I'd highly recommend it if you want more bedfam content

Swipes of Sword and Fan by Rex101111, which is a drabble collection about Anji and Baiken post XX when they started traveling together. I've been reading (and re-reading and re-re-reading-) this since I first got into this fandom and went on ao3 only to be faced with like 20 fanfics-, and it's really played a hand in how I view them and their deliciously complicated relationship. They've also written some other AnBai and GG fanfics that are just as good and definitely worth checking out.

No One Like You... by Lohan3xists, which is a pretty good (and...also the only one on ao3) TestaNago fic. Basic premise is, they go on a date, but I think it manages to hit all the points of why I like them. It's sweet and playful, but also explores how they move on and live life after such a serious thing happened to them (Happy Chaos and Justice). It's a somewhat short but overall sweet read.

But I'd say just poke around a bit, and feel free riffle through my bookmarks if you wanna! There's plenty of fics out there that I haven't mentioned that are still worth checking out, even if a lot of them are kinda short. Hope that helps!

literally jumped out of my seat when this happened

what do you think about the anime so far? personally i’m loving it

The anime's been pretty fun (and VERY dramatic) so far! I've been doing a watch party with friends, so I definitely think that adds to the experience. I'm curious to see what direction it goes, cuz I'm hoping the rest of the characters get utilized more outside of just Sin, Unika, and Sol, but also this is their story so, it kinda makes some sense if they don't.

Baiken and Anji are extremely “How to Rest” by the Crane Wives coded. Like thematically, that song and Mirror of the World both share very closely related messages. It’s crazy. I’m going crazy. You can try to avoid it all you want but love will always come back. And it will hurt. But it will be worth it. Anyways how’s your day going

If I had a nickel for every time someone's told me a Crane Wives song reminded them of Baiken (and Anji to an extent) I'd have three nickels now....

edit: ran it by my friend who suggested the other two, they see the vision. (Also you are so very very valid OP I totally get where you're coming from)

First snow (Happy Holidays!)

Not a request, just wanted to know, do you like A.B.A?

I think A.B.A's pretty neat, yeah!

DarkPlums but make it fluffy

this one has been circling around in my head as a song for baiken for SO long, something about the anger and desperation in her voice just fits her perfectly imo

what do you think?

I can definitely see it, looking at the lyrics you can sorta see that "I'm gonna do this even if it kills me" attitude she had throughout most of the series. Holding onto something that's destroying her so to speak, and maybe looking back on it when she's changed (although I feel like this interpretation leans a little more sad? But then again giving up something you've clung onto for so long is never really easy)

Hi. I really like your art style, I was wondering if you're doing commissions right now?

Unfortunately I'm not, sorry! But that may change in the future!
