aww thanks! :D it's just more fun to draw than his current hair

31. Who are they the most glad to have met? 

Ahaa this is a tough one. Evil Conan is the type who wouldn't be caught dead giving credit to anyone who may have helped him along the way... "main character syndrome" and all that. He's not ungrateful, but his way of showing it would be in the same sphere as 'putting someone out of their misery,' if that makes sense.

Everyone who's in the running for this question is incidental and people he himself didn't really meet, per say. Gin administered the poison, which in turn initiated the split; Shinichi both drove the wedge between them and gave him something to aspire to in the worst way. That's all good, but while catalysts of his existence, I don't think it's really fair to say that he met them?

I say that, but I also think that if Evil Conan were to ever meet Gin again, he'd say differently. Before doing exactly the thing described above and testing the worst of his powers on him to "demonstrate" just how grateful he is.

Heiji, were he anything other than a nuisance to him, is a decent candidate solely because he is the first to sort of validate his existence as separate from Shinichi (being able to "see" them as different entities)... but because they're hostile to each other, he's not exactly glad to have met him.

Maybe it's Haibara, though? Haibara is the only one who can ultimately give him what he wants: the antidote. Ironically, she represents the same to him as she does to Shinichi-- a light at the end of the tunnel-- but that "light" and the things he would do to reach it are starkly different from his maker. The only thing that keeps her from being a nuisance like Heiji is the fact that he can't do what she can-- synthesize the antidote-- on his own, so with that in mind... I suppose he is glad to have met her, even if she is just a means to an end.

I kind of wish I had a better answer to this, but there really is no other person who even comes close to serving his purpose, and thus no other person who he'd really have been happy to have met.

C. Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

Surprisingly, no :0 Evil Conan is the manifestation of a few ideas and headcanons I've had about Detco for a really long time (all having to do with mirror identities and monsters and such), and on top of his type of character being my bread and butter-- that is, an overconfident, heinous piece of work-- he just ended up being very easy to "figure out."

I'll just say that while his brand of villain comes to me very naturally, I've also had the buffer of time (like... a lot of it) to help me hone in on what he represents in his story. I don't know if it would've come so easily if I were new to Detco.

narumi asai bc she's the first canon trans character in detco <3

Aaaaaaa~! Okay, so! Those two WIPs were written for ShinRan week that I never got to finish for some reason and so were left incomplete for whoever knows how long (it was a year ago, Aina) (shuddup, brain).

'Childhood' was just little Shinichi and Ran going to investigate the rumours at their school, similar to the episode where they first met Kaitou Kid (Touichi). Ran is trying to talk Shinichi out of going there, and he just refuses. Haha, lame isn't it? ^^;

'Vampire' would be Shinichi thinking that Ran is acting strangely and is trying to find out what's wrong with her. Ran is actually a vampire in this XD. ...I need my muse to come back so I can finish this already T-T

Sharing a little snippets from those two WIPs in the read more!

indigo; what’s the best/sweetest compliment you have ever received?

[Character Opinion Bingo]

Choosing only one was hard but in the end I went with Akai 😔 our favourite Curry Twink

I like him but like every popular character he got overused and god I don't want to hear about him ever again.

There's just,, too much of him. He's fun but he's passed his time, and I'm hating how DCMK is turning into The Akai Family Show, where everyone is an Akai or related to one or linked to one in one way or another, like just stop,,

On the verge of "biting and killing and maiming" tbh.

That said, look at the funniest figure I got of him:

Ohoooo thanks for playingg /0w0/

And KazuHeiShinRan? Mmmm

No... i guess. I can't imagine them together. I meannnn ShinKazu and HeiRan? No. They are a no no for me. But I do love their friendship hohoho.
