Ravenous

My fiance was fired from their job (Dollar General, which is a shitty company, won't go into more details) and I am disabled and currently fighting for disability between appointments with pain management and neurosurgery. We desperately need money to feed us, our animals, and have gas to get me to and from doctors appointments. There's a bony growth near my brain, y'all, I might end up needing surgery to remove it, on top of the other shit wrong with me. Any help is appreciated. I have PayPal and Venmo.

I'm removing the "goal". Every penny we get will go to food for two humans, two cats, gas and car maintenance, and necessities. There is no "goal", only surviving. My fiance is looking for a job. I have upcoming appointments with a neurologist and a neurosurgeon. Appointments with doctors assigned to me by Social Security. Lawyers for my disability claim. We are just trying to survive through it.

If you don't want to send cash, this is an Amazon wishlist with ONLY supplies for our two cats.

YES i do thank you so much for asking saint!!!

i was really inspired by chinese (and i want to say specifically beijing? though i looked at a lot of peking images too just on duckduckgo image search) opera for her initialy hairstyle--i wanted to capture something as ostentatious as mayuri's headdresses but also keep it very nemu. since she specializes in hand-to-hand combat and she kept her hair in a braid as lieutenant, i think she'd want to maintain the practicality of keeping her hair out of her face but with a little more flair!!

The High Pony was actually inspired by another redesign I did, but for tales of the abyss--when I was doing an Anise-as-Fon-Master design, I wanted to keep the little hanging things that Ion had, but personalized to Anise's hair, and came up with The Big Tube. That was then further modified to be this big thing that Nemu's hair snakes into!

Her other hairstyles I've come up really are just a matter of practicality. I think Nemu likes having her hair up in some way shape or form and only has it loose in the direst of circumstances (see below). In my mind hair is Nemu's thing since it's something she can finally exercise control over (this is also why I have a lot of thoughts about how she dresses as captain).

THIS IS SO MAYURI

This is a sketch that I don't think I'll finish because it didn't turn out the expression I wanted. I want Mayuri to laugh at a specific situation in the world of research... Maybe it's not funny

Btw, I really like the panels where Mayuri speaks. Look at that tongue 😳

There's this guy currently watching and reacting to Bleach on Tiktok and his videos are usually pretty enjoyable. What's hilarious is that at first he was like, "What the fuck is wrong with this guy?!" and now we've gotten to TYBW and Mayuri showed up in his glowing sun suit and he was like, "MAYURI! :D"

I have no interest in high school but I DO have a thing for teachers. My contribution to the Bleach high school AU is Dr. Kurotsuchi.

He insists on being called Dr. because he has a doctorate. He is ruthless in grading, and a huge asshole to fellow teachers and students.

If his and Mayuri’s respective modifications were any indication, each and every Zanpakutō had their own unique way of being worked on.  Mayuri hadn’t said much about his, other than a few mutterings about gold and insect guts, some kind of gilded vivisection, whereas his own had been a matter of thread, an infinitely complex cat’s cradle of crimson-bright strings.  Neither here in reality nor there, in the Zanpakutō’s inner world, it was something of a liminal space, a connector between the two.  It would be interesting to investigate someday – an entire new field of research devoted to the unique and intricate guts of a Shinigami’s most intimate bond.

Yet that subject, just like the space itself, was neither here nor there.  What mattered were his own guts – or threads, rather – and exactly what he’d cut.

So yah I've been wanting to draw that scene ever since I wrote it. I'd strongly suggest opening the image up in a new tab, since the detail is fucking absurd. Like I was about to post it this morning and randomly decided I needed to paint a hyperdetailed eyeball like it was no biggie

which comparativrely speaking, it really wasn't. Oh, the weird colorful stuff above the eye and throughout is supposed to be a zoomed in Madagascan sunset moth, I wanted zoomed in Jizo wings but my attempt just kinda looked like roof shingles
