highkey i feel like the leaf village did a shit ton of covering up. i mean, compared to all of the other villages, konoha has produced the most lethal rogues like orochimaru, itachi, obito, madara, etc., all of whom together were almost responsible for all of the major violence and for perpetuating war.
i mean for the leaf to still be seen largely as the "good" village is sometimes a little off to me. like we've been shown in the show, danzo and the village elders have the power to manipulate narratives and history to hide evil acts and the dark past.
though since the story is mostly about naruto and his opponents, we didn't see as much in depth of the systemic corruption. the anime focuses on the "will of fire" with naruto being optimist #1 or smth, instead of the pragmatic horrors.
because i mean the leaf IS a military dictatorship by all definitons. they got child soldiers, trafficking in regards to bloodlines like with danzo, and selective ignorance.
the village, especially the higher-ups, was fully aware of the hyuga branch family system and the outright torture/slave methods. yet there was absolutely zero measures taken? just letting their own people be disposable life shields.
AND the chunin exams. the forest of death is just an pen to throw genin into for unmonitored murder. nothing to stop the truly violent participants like gaara, who didn't even bother just getting the one scroll his team needed and going to the tower, but instead stayed and actively sought out others to kill.
i wouldnt go so far as to say that the village is completely "evil" considering the whole naruto world isn't exactly a pretty place (like the "bloody mist" and whtever tf zabuza did, murdering his entire class js to graduate). but they're ruthless fs. i js dk whether the system was just ensuring their establishment was sustained or going a bit over a line.
konoha, end of the day, is js a mercenary city-state that functions as a military base for the land of fire. a lot of violence and problems in the show stem from the village's internal politics, neglect, or unethical experiments/measures fs tho. argue with the wall

Gonna post each of these separately eventually πππ
I wanted to practice drawing kisses! π«Ά
I loooove how the expressions on these turned out. βΊοΈ
Just wanted to doodle a bit to get the drawing urge in~
I love the expressionsβ¦ Saeru's narrow slit eyed look and intense gaze while he kisses Ene π€ Teehee
I really love the intensity of Saeru's gaze while kissing Ene, and Ene's flushed, blushy expression... It feels so passionate and loving πππ
I like my recent art style a lot more. I love how Ene's features look so delicateβ¦
And I also love how tender looking Saeru's expression is too βΊοΈ
I started drawing more emphasized eyelashes now~
The top KuroEne doodle will get posted on its own soon :3 π
KuroEne x Viα»t Phα»₯c (WIP) π€ππ
For the doodle with Saeru's smirk~
I'm still debating whether to make it wedding themed or have them wearing Viα»t Phα»₯c (with or without big hats) π
I may play around with the expression tho cuz I'm not sure if I want Saeru's smug smirk to be more tender or a more feral grin hmmmβ¦
The current one looks really nice!
I drew the last Ene doodle quickly in like 30 minutes as a test :3
KuroEne with MR2 Saeru π€β€οΈππ
I'm also planning for this one to be them wearing Viα»t Phα»₯c :3 π
Though they won't have hats here.
I really love my current style ^v^
Was testing rough base colours for now~
I've been playing around with the stylization of his horns π
Misc Rambles π
I love all of these :3 ππ
The expressions are turning out really nice! π₯°ππ
I was testing rough colours on a few of these~ I want to colour the rest soon! π¨πΌοΈ
I loooove the way I draw faces in my style now. This art improvement is so satisfying~
The way I draw masc charas is mainly inspired by Yana Toboso and Akira Amano, while the way I draw femme charas is inspired by Shigenori Soejima, Kusanagi Mizuho, and Wada Arco. πππ
My art style has inspiration from Shigenori Soejima who has been one of my top art inspos since 2019~
I feel like it shows in the way I draw faces and eyes. Though I draw sharper facial features on masc charas.
I think Soejima's delicate way of drawing faces shows in how I draw femme charas βΊοΈ
When I get the chance to refine them more, I'll post them separately and with reblogs enabled :3
Will redraw stuff later~
I tend to disable reblogs on my WIPs since I'm planning to refine them soon anyways. π
βYou've been invited into the snake's den, and now, I'll consume you whole. And my venom will be sweet poison, yes...β
Summary: Saeru approaches Ene with the offer to create her a new body, and invites her to come live with him.
A KuroEne AU where Saeru builds an android body that Ene can transfer her consciousness into, so she can move around in the real world again.
Saeru invites Ene to come live with him in one of his spare homes while keeping his darker tendencies hidden, and the two eventually develop an intimate relationship.
Snippets of my fave lines will be posted under the cut~ π
Ellipsus Previews: Fave Snippets β¨
These are my fave lines from my KuroEne Fic so far. π
The most refined ones imo.
(Not in order, this is just a random assortment of fave lines)
Ellipsus Previews: Other Fave Snippets β¨
These ones aren't as refined, so I have to clean them up and add to them later, but I still like them.
They have good ideas ^^
Tentative Notes βοΈ
Tentative Draft for now :3
Wanted to test how the tags and notes will look. πβοΈ
The Notes section is tentative rn, since it depends on which ones I'll include in the Fic.
KuroEne Fic: Summary π€π
My KuroEne Fic is basically the lead-up to Kuroha/Saeru meeting Ene and offering to build her an android body so she can move around in the real world again, and their intimacy. π€π
Saeru uses his knowledge to build an android body for Ene, that she can transfer her consciousness into (since he's basically a living encyclopedia that holds knowledge from the beginning of civilization, all the way up to modern science)
Saeru's temptations, the call of a devil pretending to invite Ene to "paradise," under the guise of a "perfect/ideal lover," fully intends on dragging her down to hell with him.
Their intimacy is a metaphorical dance/eventual fall to hell.
I'm pretty satisfied with how the elegant prose style in this Fic, captures Saeru's dark eroticism... π€π
It shows his twisted view of love, indeed.
Saeru's temptations are definitely more in line with the "Demon/devil tempts their lover with honeyed words" kind. πππͺ½
Saeru is 3rd person narrator, so the Fic is from his POV.
This chara has a dark, cunning, calculative side. He's twisted and manipulative by nature. I wanted to be able to portray that. π
KuroEne AU: Context π
(I worded it better before in prev posts, so need for me to write it all again, but here's a short summary)
As I said, his main goal in the KuroEne AU is the same as in canon. He acts on a one track minded desire to fulfill Azami's wish with the utmost devotion. He wants to fulfill his purpose, what he was created for.
His secondary goal in the KuroEne AU is that he wants to make his S/O crave him and be addicted to him, by becoming the center of their universe.
He's trying to compensate for losing a sense of purpose when Azami forgot about him, by making his existence become "necessary" to someone.
Golden Apple of Immortality and Pseudo Immortality ππ
I just think about how KuroEne are exact opposites in every single way, with characters and personalities that balance each other out perfectly. π€π
And yet also, what they share (have in common), is a "connection to pseudo immortality," at least in some way...
Saeru inadvertently managed to succeed with the (pseudo) immortality he was searching for with her body. Regardless of whether it's in canon-verse, or my AU.
In canon-verse, Ene got a pseudo immortal body via Opening Eyes, and in the AU, both that and the android body he made.
KuroEne β Possession of pseudo immortality, and craving for it...
Ene β Possession of pseudo immortality due to her cyber body (via Opening Eyes)
Saeru β One who craves pseudo immortality (and uses the time loops to keep up his pseudo immortality)
KuroEne Fic: Rough Outline π
Saeru's inability to understand the selfless love of Azami and Konoha - the kind Azami harboured for her family.
Saeru recalls a memory of his Master cradling a baby Shion, Mary's mother.
Saeru's motivations for indulging with a human, wanting to find a way to spice up the cycles to appease his boredom
Saeru's motivations for seeking out Ene (realizing he could weaponize her connection with his body's vessel)
Saeru recalling his 1st meeting with Ene, approaching her with the offer to make a body for her
Saeru's observations of Ene, and how he's charmed by her, and her nature
Saeru working on building the android body for Ene, which instigates his obsession
Saeru can read her so well due to his excellent observation skills, making Ene believe he's the only one who can understand her, and thus, gets attached to him
(I still need to add to the Fic ofc cuz it's a super rough draft)
Other Rambles
I'm extremely picky about their (KuroEne's) characterization. So I did feel like my 1st KuroEne fic shouldn't be a short drabble, but one that's able to capture their essence as a ship. π So it's a retelling of my AU ππ
I wanted to write a Fic that'd sum up their relationship in my KuroEne AU succinctly. I want it to be able to portray the essence of how I see them... π
Since I want my first KuroEne fic to be able to capture the essence of my KuroEne AU, and their relationship, in ways I'd be satisfied with. π€
I want to take my time writing it so I'll be working on my Fic on the side, over the next few ~ couple months! I wanna make sure it turns out well. π
Art and dialogue scripts (often seen in film/screen writing) come naturally to me, cuz I imagine the ideas visually (so they're based on my visual imaginations)
To me, the best lines are the ones that rely on my own chara analysis and interpretations/observations of them. β€οΈ
I originally planned to do a short Fic drabble but I just kept adding to it LOL
I think it's gonna be a long Character Study Fic. Realistically, it's gonna be in the 2k ~ 5k words range, at least.
I started writing it in mid March. It's been really fun to write! π I love getting to infuse my character analysis and interpretations of them into my writing π€
A lot of the dialogue lines from my fic, come from dialogue scripts and rambles I wrote back in 2024. Though, I also wrote a lot of new lines (which are either based on my old rambles, or written from scratch)
I'm so picky with my stuff, so I fuss a lot over how to word things. Just like my dialogue scripts, I write the rough drafts first, then refine and reorder them as I continue.
I really like writing in this elegant prose style!! π
I yoinked a lot of dialogue from my old KuroEne AU dialogue scripts. βοΈ π€Έ
I think my dialogue is much stronger since I have experience doing Dialogue Scripts (turning my art ideas into play/film script format), but I still love a lot of the lines I wrote.
KuroEne reviving urges in me that I havenβt had in like 5 - 10 years like OMFG... The power of love is real... π₯Ίπ₯Ήπ
I've been drawing for over a decade, so I really didn't expect to seriously take up learning how to do Fic writing for the 1st time.
Like I haven't had the urge to seriously write Fic for several years cuz I always thought "I should stick to art as my main creative art form" π€π
But then I got hit with the urge to write for them. So it's my first time learning how to write Fic β€οΈ
Yippee!! π€ β£οΈ
Poems
Takane, Haruka, Konoha, Kuroha/Saeru, Takane/Ene
I've been reading Ogura Hyakunin Isshu poems more because I wanted more exposure to poetic prose. I love the Hyakunin Isshu so much... π
I feel like reading poems in the past few months have really helped my prose.
While slowly working on my KuroEne fics on the side, I feel like reading poems made me become more conscious of sentence flow, structure, and word choiceβ¦ π
Reading poems only improved my way of writing dialogue/prose, me thinksβ¦ π€
Before, I'd mainly just think of converting my visual ideas/imaginations to dialogue script format⦠My way of writing dialogue def improved over time with practice.
My main concern would be prose, whether it's in character (which is easy enough for me), and if it sounds good.
After some exposure to reading more poems, when I write, I contemplate a lot about how the words sound, and if they flow well.
I get really indecisive, so I often rewrite lines with different wording to see which one sounds bestβ¦ π€
Glad that I started taking this journey cuz there are lines from my KuroEne Fic WIP that I really loveβ¦ :> π€π
Since I've been drawing for over a decade, I'm way more confident about my art than my writing. ππ€²
As a newbie writer atm, I feel like my writing has to rely heavily on my characterization portrayals of them. And some poems inspo π
A lot of my fave dialogue lines were taken from my KuroEne AU dialogue scripts, cuz I'm way better with dialogue. But I wrote a lot of fave new ones recently too :>
Ellipsus
Ellipsus is SO cool. I've been using it to write my Fics. π
I usually write most of my dialogue scripts on Notion since it's my all in one digital workspace βοΈ
I've been trying out Ellipsus to write my fic drafts! I love the Share Snippets feature that lets you share your fave lines as quotes π€π
Gonna start backing up my rambles and writing on both Notion and Ellipsus~
Ellipsus' formatting is SO nice π€ I love the folder organization, Drafts, Focus Mode, Share Snippets, and Reader Preview features β¨
I love how Ellipsus lets you organize your Fics in folders. I love the UI, the Drafts feature to compare changes between multiple Drafts, and the Share Snippets feature that lets you share your fave lines as nicely formatted quotes. π π

Yay look itβs more recent art!!! Whoever said you canβt just use saturated colors for your art lied to me. I want all of my finished pieces to look like a fucking acid trip
