"Show me what you've got, Kinomiya!"

Recently I finished rewatching Beyblade and was remembered on how influential the show was on me. Not only personally but also artistically. I vividly remember how I ran home from school in order to watch Beyblade at 3'o Clock, not to miss a single episode. There was something about this show that just hooked me. The battles, the music. The characters. After G-Revolution I drew my own comics with the characters. Of their own battles, their own interpersonal struggles and it was my very first AU. (lets say I wasn't too happy with Dranzers Faith in G-Revolution and I wanted to draw a happier ending). It also brought me and the neighbourkids together , as they were obsessed with Beyblade as well and we replayed the episodes on the playground while we argued who will be Kai in the end. (we did the same with Digimon, especially with Digimon Frontier, but that's a story for another day.) In Winter I tried to wear my scarf like Kai and I looked ridiculous but personally I related to him the most as a kid. I still do as an adult. I burn for art in a similar way as Kai and Tyson burn for Beyblade. But like Kai, I'm also a person who does not speak much and is rather on the introverted and calmer side. I rather like my work to speak for myself rather than the words that come out of my mouth. (but if you speak about art around me, make sure I won't shut up about it )

Anyway. In order to show my love, I decided to draw this Fanart. I chose that very iconic place from episode one, where Kai and Tyson meet for the very first time. However, except of drawing all the other Kids, I decided to draw the Bladebreakerz. I tried to capture the anticipation before the battle, the tension, the excitment. Almost a similar feeling I have whenever I start a new artwork.

What was your favorite show while growing up? And if it's also Beyblade, who is your favorite character :)?

Kai and Ray - Beyblade

Finally, with only a small delay - I present to you the 2024 MayBlade prompt list! I tried to include as many of your ideas as possible - I didn't include ideas that were too similar or that were included in previous years. The one prompt that comes back is the unpopular character prompt, since it was requested. Remember to use MayBlade 2024 tag this year so I will be able to reblog your posts. Good luck to everyone, I can't wait to see your amazing works!

Wondering if Mathilda and Kai shop at the same stores… those arm gloves are very similar. Kai started it in season 2 though so everyone else is a copycat.

BAKUTEN SHOOT BEYBLADE: ICONS [2/?]

Honestly, I love thinking about the possibility of "What if Kai didn't come back to the Bladebreakers?" For some reason this seems funny.

I have some thoughts about Dranzer and Black Dranzer too. Because, if they are a counterpart to each other, what if they came together as one? I have some HC on this. And things about the effects of experiments at the Abbey, which would fit the reason why his eyes change color and his hair too (which also involves a bunch of medications to control long-term effects, just like the Borg boys).

All this to say, I think the evil version of him is adorable lmao

Dedicated to the lovely @ressyfaerie because they answered my fic prompt so beautifully I had to draw from it!! Please do check it out  👀 💖 ————————————- *She’s not supposed to exist.* “I can feel her.” Tyson felt tears roll down his face. He held open his arms. “I can save you!” Black Dranzer screeched

Drawing muscles is difficult, I wonder if it was a good exercise (⁠~⁠‾-‾⁠)⁠~

In the middle of the process, I thought about them and the team at an autograph session. While they were at it, Max shared a cupcake he got from fans with Kai.

By the end of the day, there would probably be lots of photos of this moment all over social media.

Butterflies and Smiles

A serlina fic for @evallina!!

***

The restaurant was crowded, every chair occupied except for the one beside Evallina’s. She looked up from her phone, aware of the apologetic stares that came her way. She scowled at nothing in particular, her eyes fixed on the door. When she saw a light-haired man through the glass door, she straightened, but it wasn’t him, of course it wasn’t. This guy at the door was older and leaner, his hair closely cropped in a buzzcut.

“Ma’am, would you like to order?” a voice said, to her left.

The voice snapped her out of her daze. Evallina looked up at the waitress who stood beside her table, notepad in hand. She smiled, but it came out weaker than she had intended. “Could you give me some time, please? I’m waiting for someone.”

The waitress nodded and turned away, but Evallina’s concern only grew. Sergei wasn’t the type to arrive late to anything, especially a date. If he was twenty minutes late, he must have a reason. She reached for her phone again, chewing on her lip. She hoped nothing bad had happened.

Before she could dial his number, though, he was there. Their eyes met as he pushed the glass doors open, and he waved at him, almost apologetically. As he settled into the chair opposite to hers, she took a second to really look at him. Sergei almost looked a stranger without his headband. His golden hair, all tousled and windswept, spilled over his forehead, and as he raised a hand in greeting, she glimpsed the faint scars on his palm. Had they been there under his gloves this whole time? He smiled at her, and her heart fluttered.

“Sorry I’m late, babe,” he said. “The traffic was crazy.”

Evallina shook her head. “It’s okay. You’re not that late.”

The minutes ticked on, and next thing she knew, they were deep in conversation. It wasn’t long until she forgot she was waiting for somebody else. As they talked on, Evallina suddenly became aware of how much she didn’t know about Sergei. Yes, he was her boyfriend, but this was only their second date. Until now, she didn’t know he’d liked baseball, or that he could play the drums. She didn’t know he liked gardening, nor did she know that he was secretly afraid of amusement park rides. His eyes were wide with excitement as he explained to her how he’d learned to perform the card tricks that magicians in carnivals did. Despite herself, she smiled. Sergei was so reserved that she seldom saw this talkative, excitable side of him.

“Why are you smiling?” Sergei asked, stopping mid-sentence.

“Nothing, I was just thinking you look cute when you’re excited,” Evallina replied, her smile growing wider. “Anyway, what were you saying about the cards?”

His cheeks heated, and he cleared his throat. She could tell the compliment had caught him off-guard. That, too, made her smile.

When they finally step out of the restaurant nearly an hour later, her thoughts were wandering. She replayed all the words she’d said to him, struck by how right all of this felt. This was what a date really should be about- getting to know the other person. She’d had a great time. She turned around to face Sergei, the words rising to her lips, but before she could speak, he leaned down and kissed her. Her eyes went wide, and the blood rushed to her face. His lips were soft against hers. She threaded her hands into his silky hair, drawing him closer.

Sergei broke away first. He averted his gaze. “I hope that wasn’t weird.”

“Of course, it’s not weird. You’re my boyfriend.”

He smiled back, but his cheeks were flushed with colour. It was adorable. As they walked down the street, hand in hand, she was aware of her own heartbeat. She didn’t know where they were headed, but suddenly she didn’t care. As long as he was with her, there was no place she wouldn’t go.
