#personal talk

(Madara was the first I drew, but I found it funny how putting them like that made it seem like they are looking at each other lol)

Sketches, because that's the only thing I can muster to finish today. I know I'm repeating myself, but the heat is really killing me. Hopefully, it should calm down a bit tomorrow.

So, yeah, these sketches are great, because they are quick to do, so I managed to get you the founders + Izuna and Mito (idk if Izuna can be called a founder, since he was... yk, dead, when Konoha was built? idk)

Yeah, it's also to apologise for the request I got and didn't fulfil today. I try to do them as soon as I can, but today was not the day for me, summer is knocking me out.

So sorry, I try to do finished illu for those, and I knew it wouldn't be done for today, and I didn't want to leave you hanging with absolutely nothing (I really do my very best to have a post everyday, helps fighting perfectionism and encourages a steady flow of creativity)

Even though they're both enemies they still mean the world to eachother, Them changing their entire belief structures for eachother (twice in Obitos case)

Plus with the whole eye thing, them quite litteraly completing eachother, they're the most interesting kakashi pairing lowk

indeed! they were, whether directly or indirectly, responsible for each other's current selves. they both make each other worse and yet remain as the only connection left from their shared past, and can't seem to bare to truly let things go. the sharingan disappearing truly was the farewell of that connection, but ofc my shipper lens knows obito's never truly far from his mind XD

it's why i love how the naruto storm games did their final farewell, the emotional and mental payoff of obito acknowledging kakashi after talking to naruto is so agonizing, esp since you see that they both saw themselves the exact opposite to how they saw each other. and depending on how you like your obitos and kakashis, you can truly get into the rough, the ugly, and the vices that come from being former comrades brought together by tragedy. such gud shit ✨

"C'mon Kakashi, don't give me that face... Don't make a face like that... for trash like this."

I started a character concept art course, and it's prolly gonna take up most of my drawing time and energy. Maybe I'll share my study work here after it's done.

But yeah this means I'm not gonna be posting much art in the coming months. However this really only means that you're not gonna notice me for a bit and then get even better art and designs!

If you got questions, the comments and my dms are always open.

bc a lil while back i had a thought of Mike having stretchmarks bc i was thinking about how some people also call them "Tiger Stripes"

and i remembered that in the fandom some people compare Mike wearing stripes to Will's love for tigers

then Ash goes on to say, "Why did I just think of abt maybe will drawing his or maybe tracing them? To put onto a tiger drawing" (quoted directly from our gc)

Totally emptying my wine after you asked me so many times to pour water into it.

Time and time again, I remember that this moment was about us. But for some reason, it wasn't about us. It was about your moment, your speech that made it ours.

Now, sitting here after countless moments in the land of Greece, I realize this island wasn't with you. It was with me.

I am sitting by the sea, and I have so much to explore, yet I sit here while your ghost still hangs around, dancing in the sunshine, your dark skin reflecting the light.

I was humbled by your beautiful silhouette, and I felt blessed.

Now it's my turn to dance with the sea and find the voice within me, wondering how poison felt so sweet at that moment.

Thank you for that experience...my long lost old friend.

I think it's because I want them to be together, and I want them to be happy, so this ship in particular makes me giddy with ideas and possibilities.

Like D-16 looking up to Optimus like he does Megatronus and meeting THAT way (Seeing that fanart is so fucking cute btw.) Maybe Optimus has a chance to see D-16 again and takes every single second he can to spend with him, whether that be time travel, amnesia, etc.

Even the opposite, with Megatron clinging to Orion, who's always seems confused in fanart lol. Maybe he could also get a chance to jump in time or whatever.

I think it's the bittersweet aspect of it where headcanon can take over and the wives can have a happy ending in SOME form lol.

At the end of the day, I'm glad Max will be leaving F1 soon because it hurts me to watch him weekend after weekend losing the spark and passion he had for the sport.

The F1 he fell in love with and the team he grew up in and called a second family are both gone. It's pretty clear that it's more of a burden for him than a passion now.

And also he's genuinely happy with his GT3 team and it's so satisfying to see his hard work paying off in the NLS.

That being said, a part of me will still be heartbroken about it all.

F1 is what he dreamt of as a little kid and what he poured his heart and soul into. He loved that sport and he gave it his all. It just hurts to see his love for it slipping away.

Not to mention that what remains is only a ghost of the RBR he used to love. Everyone he loved has left. Everyone he asked to do this with for another 10-15 years has left. At this point, it reminds me an awful lot of a ghost hanging around the house they used to live in as a human, trying and failing to find a remnant of 'home'.

And while I normally don't pay attention to the other drivers I know that some of them are genuinely Max's friends and that they'll miss him and he'll miss them back.

I only started watching F1 towards the middle of last year so I never truly got to watch him win a championship.

Maybe it's because of that, but the fifth title he was so close to winning but never did will haunt me forever. Along with the possibility that he would’ve stayed till at least 2028 had the quality of the sport not been butchered.

It's good that he'll be leaving because he'll be happier wherever he goes and that's all I truly care about. I just wish so deeply that he could've left under better circumstances. That he could've left because he's well and truly satisfied. Not because he's fed up.

For me, It's a just a repetitive loop of feeling momentary happiness by seeing the bright side, followed by a deep ache for what Max will be leaving behind.
