#rev's thoughts

Well... I've been away FOR SO DAMN LONG omg, I am so sorry.

BUT!☝🏻 I've finally finished my master degree so I'M FREE! (kinda) And my art skills have improved and my art style has COMPLETELY CHANGED (I still can't believe it either)

SO as a peace offering let me offer you a couple of works that I've been doing lately 🫴🏻. And I hope to bring you some exciting news soon!!

Also, I’m super glad you brought up Yu’s personality. When I see other ppl talking about it, it’s usually just criticism of him being too happy-go-lucky, but I totally agree with addressing it from the perspective of a coping mechanism. I definitely wanna see how Yu and Mika are affected by being together again in a new way. And how Mika’s gorgeous demon sword power is gonna stack up against the 1st.

Oh and thank you for once again assuaging my fears about the well-being of the characters lmao. I love these little check-ins. Your feedback never fails to help me process the chapter better and get me more invested in the story <3

Aw, that's really sweet anon! I'm glad you enjoy my little rambling thoughts. <3

That's the whole reason I left it as a crossed-out line. I wouldn't be surprised if they were yet again left as a sort of deus ex machina and are currently doing something to help further the plan off-screen, but *shrug* who knows. Then again, Ferid was left as a head last we saw. He'll... probably(?) be whole when we see him next? Idk

What I want to know is where Narumi is. WHERE IS HE?? He went with Kimizuki and Yoichi and then dropped off the face of the planet. At least with other characters that have disappeared, we kind of saw them go their separate way. Narumi just faded out of existence. You and I both hope that everyone will get a proper wrap-up.

Yeah, I've seen that too, and I mean, it's fair to complain about, but I really do think it's a coping mechanism. If you track Yuu's character progression across the series, Yuu did genuinely become a more happy-go-lucky person after he reunited with Mika. However, it wasn't to the degree it is now. That was a very sudden change that didn't appear until after Mika died, and if you compare it to his optimistic moments prior to that death, these moments feel almost forced now. I'd have to go back and check if it's consistent, but the actual text lends itself to this idea a bit too, at least in this last chapter. The more over-the-top moments are in a different text font. It's not something I really noticed before this chapter, but I couldn't not notice how often it was used here. The only time Yuu wasn't really using it is when he was talking about family, which all that talk is just typical Yuu. I don't want to get into a full breakdown because that would be long, but here's some "quick" analysis. Yuu has developed a sort of twisted belief that everything will be okay as long as he has his family with him. Losing the (arguably) most important member of that family broke Yuu. We can see how it tore him apart. Yuu was at his absolute lowest when Mika died. He was so hurt that he was ready to die too. He only came out of that when he heard Mika could be saved, and the second he heard that, he smiled while tears streamed down his face. He hasn't stopped smiling since really. Yuu hasn't properly acknowledged what happened to Mika in a serious way since then either. You don't ping pong personality-wise like that unless you're repressing how hurt you actually are. I suppose it could just be absolutely terrible writing, but Yuu lives for other people. Mika dying showed us that. He's also shown us countless times that he doesn't think his own personal pain and suffering matters so long as his family is happy and safe. This wouldn't be the first time he brushed off his own pain and suffering to help someone else. The only difference is that this is emotional rather than physical, and that kind of pain is very hard to brush off. Emotional pain doesn't heal instantly like physical pain does in OnS. We see it with how much Guren is still suffering and agonizing over his friends' deaths. Forcing a smile and saying everything will work out just makes sense for Yuu, after all, he has to be strong for others right? There's so much else I could say, but again, I'm trying to be conscientious about length.

So this was sitting on my wips list for quite a long time. And It's been a while since the last time I brought Op Kingslayer content. I don't know if I'm going to finish it hahahaha! But I thought it would be nice to show you what the team looks like in their mission in Bolivia. <3

I'll bring more content soon! And I hope the next chapter too! Also new OCs will join the team! What is going to happen? *Dramatic music intensifies*

OCs:

Hannah "Sparrow" Clayton - @revnah1406

Alyssa "Aly" M. - @alypink

Captain Arjun - @welldonekhushi

Mandy Macfie - @alidravana

Hey loves! Hope everyone is ok.

I just wanted to talk about Mason's Legacy with you guys.

It's been a while since we talked about this beloved fic. But I've been thinking about this and Abby's bio, because I wanted to write other fics about Abby Mason without involving Mason's Legacy universe. Like a civilian life AU or something like that, without the post-apocalyptic world. And since we heard the rumours about the next black ops being set after the 2025 events, bringing back David Mason. I thought this could affect how Mason's Legacy would evolve.

So I was thinking of leaving Mason's Legacy as an AU, and giving Abby more of a normal life, without that much danger and adrenaline. You know, living her days at her home in Alaska with her retired dad and dog, preparing herself to start college, enjoying her favourite sports, even giving her a love story with someone 👀👀...

This doesn't mean I will let Mason's Legacy aside or delete it. I love this fic too much. But lately I haven't found the motivation to write. So I'll leave it there and surely one day I'll post new chapters. But for now I think it could be fun to start fresh again with a new story and background for Abby (even though almost all her cannon events will be the same ones).

So Keeping both parallel universes for Abby. Like we have Civilian!Abby And Post-apocalyptic!Abby. Maybe this way Abby could interact more easily with other OCs.

This would mean I had to update her bio (again, I'm so sorry)

I don't know, it's been going around my head for a couple of months. Let me know what you think.

(no spoilers ahead!)

I just finished this masterpiece of a game and I don't know how to keep living anymore.

The way it made me feel so much joy and sadness at the same time... A game that looks so simple but it is so complex. The depth of the story combined with the beauty of this game...

I can say with CONFIDENCE that this is the best game I've ever played, the way the story shattered me... No other videogame has ever done that to me.

I have a tattoo appointment for the next month and just as soon as I finished the game I grabbed my tattoo artists and said "We are gonna have to add one more, my friend!!!"

It was impulsive? Yes. Will I regret it, fuck no.

I never thought I would make a post about this. But it's starting to get on my nerves.

So a lot of you already know I have an OC inside the Call of Duty fandom with the call sign "SPARROW".

Recently I started to see other OCs from the same fandom with the same call sign. The first time I saw this I let it pass, because I thought it was just a coincidence. The fandom is big and things like this can happen, I get it. But I've already seen THREE OCs called Sparrow. And judging by the dates of those posts those OCs were created recently. And if you stayed with me from the beginning you know that my Sparrow has been in the fandom for much longer than a year.

I don't want to call names, I know who you are, I don't want to pick up a fight with anyone, I don't have the time and the energy for this. But it has not only happened to me, a few of my mutuals and other accounts have experienced similar things. People stealing ocs' designs, drawings, stories or even tracing over their drawings.

I know I'm not that popular, I know I don't have that much influence like Sleepy or other famous users. But it's like suddenly you start seeing a bunch of random OCs called Jade.

I don't want to suggest that these people stole my oc's call sign, I want to have a little faith in these people,. If you stole it from me, you already know that you did it, and you know what you did was wrong.

But if you are new to the fandom, it costs nothing to do a little bit of research.

I don't want to proclaim that the name "Sparrow" is mine and only mine. That's childish, it's just a fucking call sign, it's not that big. And all this matter is not just about me. I just want to take this opportunity to make it clear. There are a lot of creators, squeezing their brains to make an original and unique oc with an amazing lore, practicing everyday their drawings/writing skills so they can improve and make it look much cooler than what already is. And people think they have the damn right to steal from these creators and get all the praise from others' work.

If you want to create your own content with your own ocs, it's totally fine to use other people's work as reference. But there's a line between using it as reference and stealing.

*sigh*

Well... I hope it's clear loves. This is a thing that I wanted to talk about from a few months ago.

Oh boy... Here we go again...

So I was organising my drawing folder and I found this old drawing I did five months ago!

It's from an RP that I'm doing with @efingart and @alypink. That I love so much!!❤️❤️

It's about Abby time traveling to the 80s, where Mila (E's Oc) and Aleks (Aly's oc) work with the Safehouse crew.

It's like an Oc and fic Crossover!! I love it so much!!

I was hesitant about posting this drawing because it's old but I said, you know what? Fuck it. Let's do it hahaha!

I'm still practicing how to draw Mila better! She deserves all the time and practice.

I also want to draw more Aleks, Mila and Abby together. My three favourite girls 🥺🥺❤️

I'll probably do it soon hehehe.
