can you even call it a warm up if I'm going to bed without drawing anything big
and a sketch I made while sitting in the park today
manga illustrations (closest we get to word of god, i.e., more canon than anime) show iida with red eyes. it’s the same with eraser head’s quirk. anime says red, but manga goes gold.
Okay, I have to look at some of Iida I've only seen Horikoshi sketches
Me before reading this: :0 :D

Dona AU Rewrite - New Girl In Town
Leo was knocking before he could chicken out of it.
Normally, he would have thought twice about bothering April when it was so late at night, but he had no idea where his brothers had run off to and Sensei would be mad if he came home without them. He felt like he was going to explode if he didn’t talk to someone about the excitement bubbling in his chest.
Besides, who better to talk to about humans than the human girl who probably has had tons of friends over the years? It was so obvious!
Also, also, in all the comics and movies and books that he’s ever seen, teens love being awake at all hours. So she’ll probably be happy to have some company! It’s a win-win!
He raps on the window, careful to keep his voice low.
The last thing he wants is to attract her aunt. That’ll be a fun convo.
“April! April?”
The floorboard creaks. He stiffens and ducks back, relieved when a familiar face comes to the window with half-open eyes.
She squints at him, muttering his name.
He can’t really hear her, so he waves, giving her a moment to wake up. She grumbles under her breath, pushing open the window with a sleepy, “…etter be good.”
“Hey.” He smiles sheepishly, suddenly questioning his choices. He clearly woke her up. The way her eyes keep slipping shut tell the whole story. Hoping to be considerate both to her and to keep her aunt asleep, he’s careful to keep his voice low. “I- need to talk.”
“Can I wait ‘til morning?” She rubs her eye.
Leo blames her human upbringing and her current lack of sleep on the fact that she should know he can’t come back come morning, hurriedly blurting, “I met this girl-”
April springs awake in a second, grabbing him by the shoulders.
“Tell me everything.”
He had every intention of doing so, but he’s glad that she’s no longer an unwilling audience. She stares at him, fists up, eyes wide, and Leo suddenly realizes that he doesn’t… Actually know that much about Karai. He looks to the sky, embarrassed. “Well, she’s really cool.”
He peeks at her. April nods, quick.
“She’s also- a martial artist.”
April nods harder, bangs moving as she does. He grins.
“And- uh-” Oh! “She’s in the Foot Clan!”
Leo is looking right at her and somehow still does not see the rolled-up magazine coming until it’s smacking him in the face.
Maybe he should of.
“Are you crazy?!”
He probably should of.
Okay, bad topic. “April, she’s different. She’s-”
April has pulled away, leaning on the windowsill. “In The Footclan.”
“Yeah, b-but she’s-”
She gets louder. “In the Footclan.”
This is not going how he pictured it. “Look, I know I shouldn’t be hanging out with her-”
April crosses her arms and rises to her full height. “You got that right! You know why? ‘CAUSE SHE’S IN THE FOOTCLAN!”
Leo winces. Geez, no wonder Donnie wants to be friends with this girl. They’re more alike than he thought.
“April!” He grips the windowsill, fingers digging into the wood. He needs her to understand. Why can’t someone understand? “She’s fun! And I’m tired of being the responsible one! Why can’t I be stupid or selfish? When do I get to have fun?”
April sighs, arms falling to her side, “What does she want from you?”
Leo looks away. “I don’t know. I’m meeting her later at the Birley Building. She’s got something planned.”
April blinks, “So like a date, or-?”
Leo rears back. “No! Just- I don’t know. Maybe she wants to hang-out. Or talk. That’s stuff friends do? Right?”
“Sure, that, or-” Leo looks at her curiously and she snaps, “Maybe she wants push you OFF the Birley Building? It’s a trap, Leo!”
“I don’t think so.” He frowns, voice firm. “There’s good in her. I know there is. I can feel it.”
April stares at him for a moment. Her voice is tainted in disbelief. “I hope you’re right.”
The window slams shut. Leo flinches, turning away.
Well. That did… Not go the way he thought it would.
Karai is waiting for him when he gets there.
He does a loop around the building, scanning for any signs of hidden warriors. She has no Foot legions with her, so it’s not an ambush. If she intends to kill him, she wants to do it herself. But she’s already had the chance to kill him many times. And she hadn’t.
Was it just to get his guard down? Why waste the time and effort?
He groans. He’s going to regret this, isn’t he?
…He’ll probably regret it more if he never solves the mystery.
He lands on the parapet.
“About time.” There’s a smirk in her voice. “I was beginning to think you were a no-show.” She turns, a hand on her hip. “But you don’t disappoint.”
He studies her, walking closer. “So… What’s this about?”
He catches the tossed binoculars. “That.”
He turns, brows furrowed, before raising them up to his face. His eyes widen, breathless. “That’s the sword of Miyamoto Usagi.”
She kneels, so he does too, looking between her and the weapon as she speaks. “The greatest swordsman in the history of Japan. It’s ancient. It’s priceless. And it’s yours.”
He blinks at her, startled. She grins. “If. You help me.”
Leo doesn’t like the look in her eyes. He’s seen it in Raph’s before he asks him to do something that they both know Sensei would never allow. “…Do what?”
“You know what.” Leo really hopes he doesn’t. He really, really, really hopes- “We’re going to steal it.”
That is just his luck, isn’t it? He frowns. “No, we’re not.”
Her mood drops. “Come on, that sword is just sitting there collecting dust!” He glances back to it. “You know you deserve that katana.” Adrenaline races at the thought on what it might be like to merely hold it. Must less wield it. “Certainly more than some lazy rich guy.”
Karai stands and Leo stiffens. He keeps his eyes on the blade because that’s safer than revealing how tempting the thought is.
“Stop being responsible, Leo.”
She gets down on a knee, closer, looking to him expectantly. She’s eager for him to follow through. Impatient for him to join her. She wants him to come with her. He doesn’t want to let her down.
He’s always the downer. Always the killjoy. Or the spoilsport.
But… But this isn’t turning down a R-rated movie or tattling when Raph tries to talk Donnie and Mikey into doing some dumb, harmless prank that’ll backlash on all of them. This is stealing. Thievery.
“Stop waiting for people to give you the life you want.”
Leo’s heart races as she inches closer.
“Go out and take it.”
“No.”
Leo closes his eyes and looks away. He can’t. He can’t. It doesn’t matter how much he wants to listen to her or how easy it would be to sneak in and retrieve. How simple it would be to let her lead.
It doesn’t matter that she might be mad at him, and he might lose his only shot at an awesome sparring partner and maybe-friend.
She stands. “I’m getting that sword, Leo. With or without you.”
His heart sinks. He surprised to find himself hesitate.
Okay. So, maybe it does matter. It all matters.
“Choose.”
But at the end of the day, it’s not who he is.
He stands, holding his ground.
“I can’t.”
At the end of the day, he still has to look in the mirror and think about the kind of example that he’s setting for his siblings. Who will they become if he starts opening these doors? Actually crosses this line?
Even if he’s not leader, they’ll follow him.
“It’s wrong.”
And he’s not a villain. It’s not who he is.
“You’re starting to bore me...”
It doesn’t have to be who she is either.
She reaches for her blade. He grabs her hand.
He searches her face. “Karai, you don’t have to do this.”
“I know.” Her grin returns. “That’s what makes it- fun!”
Karai moves, abruptly, kicking and flipping him before he has a chance to process the intent or action. He ends up on his face, shell in air as she plans a foot on his carapace, arm in a really uncomfortable position behind him.
How many times is a human girl going to catch him off guard tonight? Good things his brothers aren’t around to…
“Leo!”
Oh, come on. The universe could have at least set him Mikey!
Or Donnie! He’d even deal with her. Anyone but…
“What- what are you doing?!”
Couldn’t she have at least knocked him out?
“Who’s she?!”
Karai doesn’t say anything. Great. Just great.
“Uhm… Uh…” Leo’s fingers tap the concrete before he awkwardly raises his hand to gesture between them. “Raph, Karai. Karai, Raph.”
Raph gawks, “What are you, friends with her?!”
Yeah, that’s the question, isn’t it?
Leo thinks he’ll take April’s advice next time.

22/02/2022 (PALINDROME)
22/2/22 on a tuesday (two-s day)
Amitiel (or Amity) but better and with less muddy colours and more accurate proportions.
I honestly cannot decide what style of clothing to put them in, if you have any suggestions please make them :)
Some Celeste stuff :D
I made a logo thing too and I think it looks pretty decent
I'm also aware there may be spelling mistakes so look out for those. And sorry for the cramped layout.
And have a nice day/night/evening/whatever it may be for you 💛🌟
Lil Mabel I drew earlier :)
Hello friends! Sorry for the fact i haven't posted art in over a month, i don't know why i decided to do that since i haven't been art blocked and haven't been stressed either, so i guess i just lost motivation for posting which is weird but anyways, here's some ocs! Most of them don't have names but i chose the drawings because they're my favorites, in order from newest to oldest!
All characters that are unnamed and design and story only will automatically have They/Them pronouns, this may change if/when the characters get developed more.
1. Ulo, Xe/They, all you have to know is that they're an asshole.
2. Unnamed, They/Them, meant to be for a magic school types thing like Harry Potter, but with more mythical creatures as actual students but i lost motivation and got bored of the idea.
3. Parker Young, They/It, the main character for a book i want to write someday, they are essentially part of a hive mind and are a factory worker.
4. Mabel, She/Her, from the valentine's day post, works with Amara to help get couples together, eventually ends up a fallen angel because she broke too many rules.
5. Unnamed, They/Them, was watching a lot of videos about crappy YA fantasy novels at the time and just wanted to draw a fairy.
6. Casey (may change, not set in stone), They/Them, lives in a world of cryptids and mythical creatures which are mostly humanoid and has a major phobia of humans, otherwise really likes photography and likes making short films.
7. Unnamed, They/Them, is meant to be a sort of experiment, has control over electronics but their powers are suppressed by a special device, so they hear and feel a constant static which is made worse by any external sound so prefers to use sign language most of the time as their own voice bothers them. (The drawing itself is unfinished but i am still proud of it and wanted to share it :D)
Emli re-design :D
I haven't drawn her in a while and thought she could use some adjustments, otherwise everything is practically the same she just has more dark markings and not only the ones on her arms and legs :)
I don't really have anything else to say, sorry about that but I've just been busy with school and also stressed because i have those "pre-" exams next week, all three of them, two on Wednesday and one on Friday (i think)
Sorry for the lack of content!
Emli Straedo, She/Her
Fun fact: Emli is severely allergic to blueberries. (also just hates how they taste)
Her allergy was realised when her parents took her on a trip to earth for educational purposes and she ended up drinking a smoothie with blueberries in it.
That trip was when she learned that some things that can kill you, can't kill others and she has hated blueberries ever since.
Hello everyone!! I'm sorry for my absence but I've had close to no motivation to make anything lately and also procrastinating much more Wich is kind bad because i have kind of pre-exams(?) Next month and have to prepare for them, along with homework i have to do, but i have successfully mustered up the strength to post something i made, which is this redesign of Sol/Sunny!
Without clothing of course but they are a sort of assistant/helper robot to a mechanic and would have clothes that match that like a utility belt but would have some tools but into her arms which if why they look so segmented. Their feet are also meant to transform for easier transport (like roller skates!) The rectangles on their forehead and the side of their head are "memory ports" basically they can be linked up to a computer and someone can view everything they saw and essentially all their memory, this can only be done when they are awake but newer models of robots need to be in sleep mode so their systems don't get overwhelmed.
Sunny was created by a woman called Jess at first during highschool as some sort of project by developing an AI, his physical body took a few different models and versions before it even became humanoid but the body seen here is the latest and the one of most attachment.
He gained sentience on some random Tuesday while helped move boxes with Jess, they just turned to her and said:
"i think I'm alive"
And jess believed her despite being quite frightened as old AIs are never sentient and especially ones made decades before, there is not any known reason for Sunny's sudden sentience that Jess can find but suspects their code might have been meddled with somehow.
Originally his name was Sol and that was how Jess referred to them, but upon gaining sentience they wanted to be referred to as Sunny as it seemed less impersonal and more friendly.
Their body actually would only count as a "skeleton" because other robots typically have fake skin and hair to look more human like, but it's easier for Jess to make repairs and sunny doesn't mind.
Sol/Sunny, any pronouns
Jess Smith (placeholder surname), she/her
No fun fact today, you essentially know their entire story.
Also i had so many technical difficulties while updating the draft for this and I'm actually in a car right now, bye!
(tags will be added later due to technical difficulties)
I'M DOING AN EXPERIMENT
To prove something to a friend, please
REBLOG IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES
LIKE IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS DON’T BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES
Albert Wesker is alive? Apparently according to Umbrella Corps he is! This makes me super happy.
Asexual and aromantic people are members of LGBT community, without conditions such as who they are in relationship with or what other romantic or sexuality labels they self identify with.
Asexuals and Aromantics definitely belong in the lgbt+ community.
So I’ve gotten a bit of ace and aro hate on my dash recently, and thought I’d make something.
