im asking this at like *looks at time* midnight so you might not see this, but!

i just wanna say i am intrigued in your "30's au" and i cant wait to see where it goes next if you want to continue it :)

love your art!

have a lovely rest of the day/week! :D

@whyaredangancharacterssopretty

It’s high noon for me so I’m looking at this with wide eyes hahahahaha

Aaaaaaaaaa I’m happy that you like the idea! I’ll come up with a continuation if my brain gives me shenanigans to place two 30 year old men into!

Ouma after following Shuichi to his home: damn bitch, you live like this?

Shuichi: at least I have a fridge

Thank you for the lovely ask!

#the economy is responding

[nottheeconomy]

Cue the 30 year old washed up detective duo ready to turn against yet another old classmate for fridge money hahahahahhahahahha

AU idea below the read more!

Imagine if Shuichi gradually lost all contact with his old Hope’s Peak classmates after graduation except for Kaede (who had to settle for being a piano teacher after reality didn’t turn out as she hoped) so he hasn’t heard from the rest in a decade.

Shuichi, now 30 and down in the dumps as a failed detective, slaves away at his day job as a journalist for a gossip rag.

But one day as he nurses his sorrows, an old clown enters the scene, accuses an ex classmate of being a serial murderer and proposes that they track him down together all the while describing in depressing detail how everybody else in their old class never managed to fulfil their dreams

Would Shuichi take his words for the truth? Assume they’re all lies because he really doesn’t want to believe that everybody succumbed to booze and cigarettes to get by? Well, he can only find out if he reaches out to their old classmates himself to know for certain :) (Which may or may not be Ouma’s plan in the first place)

Ouma: You should’ve seen him Saihara chan! Drunk in broad day light and harassing little girls for money! How far has our resident astronaut fallen~

Shuichi: I see you never really changed at all have you Ouma kun? I suppose lying is a life-long habit for you.

Ouma: You say I’m lying? Prove it.

Shuichi: This is Kaito we’re talking about.

Ouma: But when’s the last time you’ve seen him? Accusing me of lying without evidence? No wonder you couldn’t make it as a detective!

Shuichi: …sigh.

A series of events:

1) I see you followed me after we have a delightful discussion regarding What Would Akechi Do At The 777 Grocery Store,

2) I go oh boy! I should follow them back!,

3) I go to follow you back,

4) I'm already following you,

5) Instead of being reasonable and just being happy about it, I for some reason think that I can follow you twice somehow,

6) I experience a brief moment of confusion and middling concern when there isn't the option in the truly flawless tumblr mobile UI,

7) I reach enlightenment

(Aka hi! I find you delightful and am glad you exist! Thanks for talking to me in the notes of your lovely art!)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH

I’ve actually recognised your name for quite some time now! You’re lovely to talk to as well hahahahaha

In my crystal ball I envision…more AU discussions yes yes 👁️

I’m so sorry I left you on read for like a month. I was in the middle of a mind numbing shift and as the mind does when the mind goes numb I forgot to reply 🫠

[nottheeconomy]

Initially I wanted it to be a puddle of blood but I thought that’ll be too disturbing hahahahahhaha

Hop hop hop

Whimsy!

Oh to just jump in a puddle…

It’s them!!! My silly April fools!!!

Yes, I’m late. Again. Shush!

I saw this checkered art deco costume on Pinterest and I knew deep in my bones, Ouma had to wear it.

Shuichi as a depressed sad clown came naturally after hahahahahha

Especially after those annual Kodaka tweets hahahahahhahaha

I drew these two fools so happy while those tweets are absolutely *miserable* hahahahahahahhaha

There’s something so intrinsically funny about a 14 year old Ouma fantasising about how his future classmates fall off in their 30s

Shoutout to Kaito who lost all his hair and became a day drinker! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHA

Their lives really just became a mix of alcohol, money problems and crime! I really want to see an AU where those tweets are actually reality hahahahahhahahaha

Although, maybe I don’t exactly want to see Kaito bald. Like let him keep his hair, he’s already sad enough hahahahaha

Closeups!

Meet my Stardew valley farmer OC! The one! The only! *Post Mortem*!

Yeah that name really didn’t bode well with grandpa, senior Mortem. Don’t worry though! Young Mr Mortem is here to take care of the farm!

Me Mortem in his clip-on twin tail extensions and spiky choker, working the plough in the fields

I like to think that he gave Lewis a mini heart attack when he had to welcome him to the valley!

Hahahahahhahahahahahahhaha

I got into Stardew recently and I’ve been really enjoying the game! Alas, as a mobile player I’ll have to wait a while for 1.6

The caves though

The caves beckon me

I must dig deeper

120 floors aren’t enough

#stardew valley #stardew farmer #stardew sebastian #stardew morris #the economy is producing #First time drawing out an OC like this #Oh to stay at home and Stardew #I don’t want to leave my houseeeeeeeeeeee

[nottheeconomy]

That’s me!

Do check out the zine when it drops! Everybody’s ideas are super cool and I’m quite excited for the final product hahahahaha

Only bringing Shuake to the *nicest* of places! :)

✈ Nottheeconomy @nottheeconomy is our brilliant page artist! No matter how bad the economy may be, they will keep doodling their delusions!✨

Hey! BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD!! Once you are given this award, you’re supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it’s sweet to know someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out. 💞

(Ur awesome, man!! :])

@vesper-the-great

Little old me? Beautiful??? Oh you flatterer!

Unfortunately I don’t have anywhere near 8 people to send this to since I barely talk to anyone hahaahahaha

Thanks for the award! It’s going on my shelf <3

[nottheeconomy]

Athena Cykes? Or Yusuke Kitagawa from Persona 5? (Actually, wait, they'd be such good friends I think!)

@turretangel

Here it is! The good lobster boy!!!

And you’re so right, I can imagine him and Athena just chatting about emotions and art and how both of them intertwine!

Having widget and Athena’s insight to emotion would probably be a good source of artistic inspiration too!

#the economy is responding #yusuke kitagawa #persona 5

[nottheeconomy]

Um if you're still taking requests can you draw Dahlia Hawthorne from Ace Attorney

It’s her!!! My favourite OG trilogy villain!! Really happy she got requested hahahahaha

@theginnit here it is!

What better subject to test it out than my favourite gem gremlin?
