We’re all trapped in our coffins…

To set some ground rules: yes, I know my blog is TCOAAL themed. While I love the game, I do not like ‘gravecest’, I do not support incest, and if you fetishize it (even if just in fiction) I don’t want you to interact, please. While I enjoy works of art that portray (NOT ENDORSE) incest, I do not want to see it romanticized as it is a very real and horrific form of abuse. Kindly stay away from my blog if you think otherwise.

Feel free to send me asks and DMs if you want to talk about a piece of media I enjoy. I like a LOT of stuff, but right now I’m particularly into:

TCOAAL, revolutionary girl Utena, alien/zombie stage, chainsaw man, and deltarune. I’ll probably mostly use this blog for TCOAAL stuff (because I don’t want to attract negative attention to my main). Fandom posts will have their fandom acronyms tagged :-)

That’s it!

I noticed a lot of parallels between the Kaoru twins and the Graves siblings, so naturally I had to make some crossover art (reference is under the cut). I think Ashley is a lot more like Nanami, but Andrew is definitely not a Touga lmao, so as a unit the Kaorus fit better. Also, I wanted to draw Ashley in the rose bride dress.

+ Sketch and Ohtori Ashley doodle. I was gonna draw her in a dueling outfit too, but I got lazy.

The parallels… I’m not crazy… bratty, clingy younger sister perceived as having incestuous feelings towards her brother when in reality she’s so desperate to be loved and believes her bond with her brother is the only way to achieve that.. because everyone else treats her like an annoyance and only tolerates her for her more popular brother (despite the fact she CLEARLY exhibits signs of mental illness and abuse and desperately needs help) and she internalizes that to view herself as fundamentally unlovable
