Inatober22 Day 16: Melancholic Poem

I'm not done with day 15 yet, I'm making a comic so it'll take me some more time to finish sorry.

Honestly I really like how I draw kirino, whenever I draw shindou's hair doesn't feel right to me, like he doesn't seem like him, the face is fine its just that I'm a bit picky when it comes to accurate details in hair. God it feels weird when drawing Gouenji's hair, that's why I usually draw GO Gouenji, his hair feels right to me.

the glory forever unreached

a spark that will never be yours

what will you do when

Por cierto, estoy haciendo más de éstas.

Speranza porque Riccardo es una referencia al director Riccardo Muti, así que me decanté por Speranza Scapucci.

Takune (拓音), con 音 (radical de sonido) sustituyendo 人 (terminación original, usual para nombres masculinos).

here is a Shindou 😽

pre - confession

♪ long before the two formally entered a relationship, munemasa had always been drawn to takuto. be it his impeccably styled hair, his sharp voice, his elegant stance & stride, his calculating eyes that seemed to pin & dissect whomever it's landed on ─ everything from his appearance to his maddening personality. frankly, takuto was the only person munemasa paid close attention to (at first), determined as he was to be finally acknowledged. [post ep16, once the hostility dissipates, and they grow closer inch by inch] munemasa is horrified that his enrapture and curiosity have not only failed to cease, but grown in depth.

♪ takuto fell a bit later. it took him awhile to reconcile with his feelings, having never felt attraction so intense. his crush on munemasa fully crystallised following the gardon saga and the two confessed (in a very convoluted manner, cough) sometime after landing back on earth. funny enough, their firstkiss happened before their confession. something takuto grumbled about (munemasa too amused to remind him that he initiated it); thankfully, their second was just as, if not better, than their first.

post - confession

♪ they bicker a lot, over the silliest things. it's how they express affection. it goes: munemasa says something, takuto refutes it because he loves teasing him, munemasa gets annoyed, and the two begin a cartoonish back - n - forth. this goes on well into their adulthood. the t&m duo are most renowned for, somehow, bickering on their wedding day.

♪ their relationship wasn't smooth - sailing from the getgo (duh). it's both of their first relationships, prone to various bumps, and they don't have much references to compare. their respective, busy schedules clash with the needs they've unknowingly developed, their equally stubborn personalities butt heads & their immaturity drags conflicts longer than need be. there were multiple times wherein they were on the verge of breaking up but they held out. things smooth out as they get older.

♪ they're very attuned to each other's emotions & can easily detect when either is upset/annoyed/etc via body language or a subtle shift in countenance/voice.

♪ munemasa is a brutally honest & intense person which doesn't bode well for takuto whose sensitive, young heart can't handle his bold declarations of love, promise, and the like. similarly, takuto's smooth tongue doesn't bode well for a munemasa that takes a lot to heart and is too flustered to think of responses to takuto's flirtatious quips ─ that in mind, catching one another offguard is what they're both, equally, exceptional at.

♪ ibuki munemasa could be 20 years into his marriage with takuto & still flounder over a kiss on the cheek. ─ munemasa's favourite takuto - spot to kiss is his forehead, his lips (heh), and his inner wrist; takuto's favourite munemasa - spot is his cheeks.

♪ munemasa likes burying his face in takuto's hair when they cuddle.

♪ their ideal dates involve walking around town together (shopping, eating, enjoying the scenery, or visiting local attractions), going to festivals/events, or playing soccer whenever they have a chance to meet up.

♪ later on in their hs years, takuto notes munemasa's tendency to skip meals during a season. in order to combat this, he decides to cook light meals for him (something, something: homemade food is more sincere, fujihara - san), just enough that he won't collapse from starvation & exhaustion when he returns home. he starts small: fruit slices, onigiri, steamed buns, tiramisu, etc. until his skills have improved enough he can pack a full bento. little does takuto know, his “small” ways of looking out for his boyfriend make munemasa fall deeper, and deeper, and deeper in love with him.

♪ their first white day together was abysmal. the flowers munemasa bought were crumbled from indelicate handling & the chocolates takuto tried to make were stale, salty, and burnt. every activity they'd tried either sucked or was over - crowded, and takuto nearly got mugged (don't ask); despite its total failure, they had a lot of fun that day & grew closer as a couple.

Absolutely!!! HRT or not you're always super valid~

I wanted to share a Tournament Bracket Work Skin (with tutorial) I made for Ao3 fics. There's options for 2, 3 and 4 rounds! All Site Skin and mobile phone friendly, ofc! ^^

Here is how the 3 round one looks on Ao3:

I originally wanted to share it after it made its debut on my fic (shameless plug, give it a chance it if u like InaGO), but at the pace I'm going I thought it was better to drop it already. This has been sitting in my private collection since March...

in general this fandom is really dismissive of kevin, and it's so sad.

he has about the same amount of screentime & narrative relevance as nathan for example, not to mention they get paired up a lot in canon, yet nathan gets significantly more attention.

despite how meaningful and impactful kevin's role in the story is, several important plot points revolving around him, his incredibly heartfelt relationship with shawn, literally any of his other friendships, and the fact that he's just a super inspiring and well-written character, people will still find ways to ignore him altogether in favour of more conventionally appealing characters with lighter skin and more typical "anime pretty boy" features.

People dismiss him as the "angry brown guy" and completely overlook any depth his character has, to the point that even when he's supposedly the focus via somefubu hes basically just a cardboard cutout or an angry caricature for shawn to interact with. It pisses me offfff

as for shawn, he's a fan favourite and yet he gets mischaracterised so much, either as a petite, fragile boy who needs to be protected, or as a super forward and sometimes bordeline perverted guy, and both make me so mad. its like he isnt allowed to be both capable of deep sadness and vulnerability & be strong (physically and emotionally), confident and sarcastic without one of the two traits being pushed to toxic caricatural extremes.

moot in the reblogs already said this but this reeks of misogynistic and homophobic stereotypes. and actually im gonna go further and say that the treatment of kevin by the fandom is rooted in racism & colourism. to quote something my friend once said, so many white fans just cover their ears and pretend fandom is this pure, welcoming space completely divorced from real life problems. but it isn't. i know for most fandom isnt really the space where they wanna be checking their biases. but. actually they should do it anyway.
