Me Me ~ It's only Me... ~

2024 Akira Amano 'The Characters' Exhibition bonus 'Selfie-style' cards.

[ID: Official art of multiple characters from the manga and anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

They're all drawn as if taking a selfie, most of them smiling and/or doing a peace sign or another playful gesture with their hand.

Reborn, Colonnello, Viper and Fon are in their cursed forms, with Viper pulling their hood down, trying to hide more of their face.

Gokudera waves at us, with "Vongola Famiglia" written on his palm and the Vongola's emblem drawn on it too. Lambo is in his Ten Years Later version, Tsuna's shown both in his normal state and in Hyper Dying Will mode, Basil is in Hyper Dying Will mode too and Chrome's wearing cat ears.

Squalo and Xanxus are scowling. /End ID]

Summary: Remus had always had some connections to fear just because of the type of creativity he allowed, but that didn’t mean he’d allow people to be scared of things he hasn’t caused.

Remus knows fear. He knows it intimately with the very core of his purpose because while Thomas had Virgil in the role of Anxiety, he held Remus in the role of darkness, forbidden or taboo creativity and a lot of those ideas were made so due to fears.

He was beyond used to being the cause of fear, or the one to make them feel real while remaining imaginary and took pride in his work, but he also knew how to make people react to resolve their fears. Originally he’d believed that was what Thomas needed him to do in the role, especially given how divided the Sides had been while they were young, but now he knew that had been an accidental role if anything.

Summary: Remus paints the memories he gets from his soulmate and posts them online. Since it’s Tumblr he posts to he never expects that his soulmate could actually find them though.

Remus had leapt on the idea as soon as he encountered it, and ran away with it completely over the years that the internet and social media was growing in the world. At this point there were honestly a number of blogs convinced that he was actually the one to start the trend that picked up, rather than than he’d stolen the idea from classical artists.

True, it really was only speculation that some of the masterpieces of art were inspired by soulmate memories, but that had been enough for Remus to start posting his drawings online, eventually finding Tumblr as a home for them.
