#my art #revolutionary girl utena #rgu #juri arisugawa #shiori takatsuki #juriori #Guess who's been listening to Juri's songs from the utena musical way too many times lately 🧡 #I had this sketched out since the first time I watched this scene in the black rose arc all the way back like june last year #it did something to me #the strong shadows and oranges and of course the characters and conflict in on itself it clawed at me and I immediately had to draw about i #she's an orange lesbian..... just like meee... #toxic yuri #my favorite

if I'm going through something then blorbo is also going through something sorry kanny

#not going in any tags this is just a wip #I can't for the life of me ddecide a composition or framing for this piece #but I've had the hair rendered since before new years and I needed to show this #I was listening to hitogawari or well kinda I had it stuck on my head on loop while I was drawing #and while I was well #really going through it #like I am right now! I hope things will be better when I wake up tomorrow #sudden health issues I hate you

Super fair way of doing the name picking I think what you went with worked out great ^^

The one that really gets to me that I was thinking about when I sent that was how she speaks to Maria in the Designer chapter like what she voices is just wanting to get her to comply and give back the puzzle piece but it comes across as so scathing and personal at the same time even with her barely looking at Maria to say it, evil version of what I had her tell Aoi in my own fic when they're talking about the safe ending while preparing their game like the completely different framing of the same sort of disdain at the mere concept I love you and I'm half-dead and miserable and if only you get the chance to I want you to live I'll be the most unhappy if you follow/ your brother is going to hate you if you decide following him is worth taking an innocent bystander down with you are you really that desperate. like. also her telling Sigma he should have killed himself like giiirl I. the sudden Mirakane in that chapter overshadowed it so much for me in the end but I was speechless for a good while when that happened I think I even was like okay I'll take a break and then I came back to a whole different thing happening lol she leaves the room so proud of herself for "winning the argument" with that one too I think friend said something that stuck with me also while she was mentally giving Diana shit for having anxiety and trauma and he was like girl like your brother??? who also has those things??? in a different way of course but like still???? like yeah exactly she's just like so bad about it with the way she thinks about people struggling in this way specifically and it just makes me wanna poke it and keep writing essays about it it's so interesting to me I like it there's layers upon layers to this character flaw

I don't think I ever sent you an ask about it or maybe I did but like there was a day I decided to google the name meanings for the first names you picked for the Kurashiki's parents in zwg and I was emotional about Ayaka's meaning having to do both with flowers and colors when that's a theme in Aoi and Akane's as well I was thinking how like you write their reactions to her death into their characters so well Akane's especially since that's what we got to see most of so far she clearly doesn't blame her mom but since she had Aoi to fall back on and also never did a therapy about it every other time the topic of suicide comes up it's clear that she processed it as a form of abandonment and is pretty callous about the subject I think about the Kurashiki's mother way too much my friend just played up to the coffin ending in 999 all day and I just got back home an hour ago and am woozy but need to talk about her with spoilers enabled to someone so I remembered this hi ily 🫶

hi ily2

i’m gonna be real honest i don’t remember looking very hard for their mother’s name (comparative to their father’s name, “hardworking” i think, and then. uh. another name) so it’s entirely possible that i just saw a relevant looking A name and said “yeah that one”

but yeah, akane definitely has some Issues with suicide that definitely link back to her mother. i’m sure these issues would never be exacerbated in a timeline with a rationality virus or in any other timelines haha.

#sui mention #suicide tw #zwg #I'm sorry the Kurashiki's parental issues are my favorite subject it's such specific circumstances I think the way it retroactively can #inform character is so much more interesting than vague accident #also ugh that sucks :[ I didn't fully lose mobility in my arm but I've had bursitis for like three months now? #so I have to do one frame of work in like half an hour then take an hour long break then another frame then another break #I was going to start physiotherapy for it today but rainstorm #messed with my sleep schedule real bad and I can't finish art outside of work for the life of me #but hey don't rush yourself I have a friend I reccomended zwg to and he looked at it and was like #oh please six months? babey I'm used to waiting six years for an update lol #especially with that scope? even before we started talking I thought it was kinda insane amount of work to always post every other week #not art #zero escape spoilers

prompt: A reunion of Aoi and Akane post-ZTD good end

Extra gift!!! Didn’t feel right to have this as the main one because it’s a scene I was already working on for my own fic but I did make you a doodle (with outdated dialogue because I edit sentences. a lot) But yeah I love them here you go enjoy the sneak peek ^•^

#999 spoilers #zecret santa 2023 #my art #zero escape #I also had a hard time finishing this one and cut off the fic right when the logistics talk starts because. ztd logistics brain hurty #I am rewriting the follow up part as we speak because I just noticed another detail that I have to think a way around #I literally cannot go a single christmas without picking a prompt about them though lol #there's so many jokes I had that I wanted to sneak in here too but there really was no better cut-off point #but oh well guess you'll just need to read chapter two of my fic when that's done for those *bats eyelashes*

prompt: Junpei and Akane decide to adopt a pet together (and it doesn’t come as naturally as they would like at first)

I also made a fic for this one! I feel like the first thing that would go wrong is that Akane wouldn’t be comfortable taking care of animals again at all, the second would be that Junpei’s canonically an impulse adopter. So this ended up being more about getting Akane to come around about the idea in the first place (also many catgirl jokes at her expense lmao) Also about the drawing I imagine she quickly comes around to enjoying the little head boops while reading :3

Hope you enjoy!

What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!

The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.

We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”

#not art #boost #I'm the only person in my area that I know is avoiding buying from these so time to be more vocal where I can

There's at least two prompts on zecret santa this year that are kurashiki sibling post-ztd reunion and I have been trying to write that for chapter two for a couple months now but ZTD logistics are so qwq

#since I can't settle on a framing device I'm kinda stuck on making progress there #I also like had a brief burst of inspiration for writing Phi and especially Sigma which has since then dried off and that's like #important part of the fic #concept wise #not to mention being generally busy can you guys believe I got a job with clean-up animation????? :D #and I'm also still in uni and coordinating two irl weekly events #I want to write so badly but November's gonna have to end before I have got the time for it again ;w; #I am writing fluff before properly moving onto chapter two but I keep going back and forth with the idea of seeing snapshots of the other #timelines? instead of only the payoff aftermath but idk it fun but it might not integrate as well into the idea as I thought at first #not art #talking tag #ztd #zero escape #zero escape spoilers #999 spoilers
