been busy but made time for some dcmk doodles!

i'm realizing this sequence makes it look like kaito was murdered but he's fine promise

Well, I kinda fell down into a rabbit hole with my "research" and have come out of it absolutely enamored with Kaishin and both Shinichi and Kaito as characters, haha. I'll admit to you that I haven't properly watched or read the original media (I'm intimidated by the sheer volume of stuff to get through), unless we count me watching a truly embarrassing amount of gacha react videos trying to get an idea of what the show was like. I know it's sometimes controversial for people to ship something when they aren't fans of the original media, but I can at least say I truly love and adore the way that Kaishin fans interact with the world and characters and I have spent So Much Time trying to get to know them, learning to differentiate between canon vs fanon, reading different character analyses or movie/episode/arc breakdowns and analyses, and throughouly enjoying the fanworks.

I'm honestly quite sad I didn't find DCMK sooner, and Kaishin as well!! I was taken aback, even before I knew the details of the ship, that so many people were now abandoning it. Everyone has different comfort levels and again, I am a newcomer, but even before I understood what was going on and only knew "apparently cousins, revealed ~30 years after the story started, the characters did look similar but it seemed like it was an artistic choice", I was like "well it's tragic but...that's not gonna stop anyone" and then it kinda did, which took me aback. I think I'm used to older fandoms and older ship fans almost unanimously ignoring new canon they don't like or agree with so I felt pretty bad for the Kaishin fans when the in-fighting began.

Anyway, I'm not blaming anyone for stopping, people can do what they want, but you can imagine it was a little awkward finding a ship purely because it was basically being mass-cancelled, looking into said ship with mild curiosity, and, after finding it extremely compelling, going "I don't give a damn about the canon DNA, this ship is amazing and its fans are right and honestly I ship it too now. I'm sure everything will be fine and--oh hm people are now claiming they won't write anymore or draw anymore ship stuff...and they're condemning others...oh yikes..."

(I am sure it was much worse for long term fans who had to watch their community become even more polarized).

But I have been very happy to see you (and other people on Tumblr) continuing to post Kaishin! I'm a huge supporter of 'Ship and Let Ship' and I'm glad you and other shippers have continued to participate in the fandom, as even a new fan like me can still enjoy it post-calamity. And lowkey I think it proves that this is such a great duo (romantically, not just platonically) that someone who was completely out of the loop and had no background with the media or skin in the game like me was able to be like "Oh yeah I get it, this isn't even a stretch or delusional, I Understand"

All that to say, again, thank you for continuing to post this ship! Your blog has been such a huge source of joy for me since I got into the fandom, and your art is so so so beautiful and lovely and just amazing :) sorry for the ramble!!

Hi there! such a sweet message, I hope you don't mind me responding to this publicly as you have made several points that I would love to springboard off of! ^^

Happy Birthday, Shinichi!

Amuro: “Never have I ever unintentionally made out with my cousin”

Akai: “I believe this would be considered targeted”

Amuro, crossing his arms like he’s won an argument: “Are you confessing to something?”

Akai, who has leaned in wayyy too close: “You know the rules as well as I do. I don’t have to answer that”

Jodie: “Actually, it looks like it wasn’t targeted at all”
