The best part about platonic Radioapple is when the blood drinking is still incorporated, bc then,unlike the sexy blood drinking with the romantic ship, it often becomes smthn like this
Some more sketches of it bc i could NOT decide Luci's hand placement lma
Did these stupid doodles in under 5 minutes help me its 2am-
one thing i noticed (form personal experience and by observing other artists) is that the longer you draw and create, the more boring it gets to simply replicate references, especially when it comes to characers' fashion choices.
with bnha, i keep mine pretty simple and basic because teens ARE very trend-loyal, but mainly im just lazy lol, but when i AM motivated, i love to think about characters' personal style, what could influence them, but also more trivial things such as budget into account, which is why i love to draw Deku in basic tees or clothes provided by his school (while bakugo gets to wear ed hardy and shoto wears arcteryx). i also love to limit the items like its just more realistic to me when someone as ordinary as deku wears the same 5 crewnecks all the time
which brings me to my actual point, namely that the more frequently you draw, the more you learn to do research andto combine your findings into sth new rather than staying faithful to one reference, and i think that's what makes good art so good, being able to draw inspiratioin from all kinds of niches and creating something that feels very authentic and suspends the spectator's disbelief. sometimes i see art and i know exactly which fashion editorial or which kpop idol was referenced, and I'm not insinuating these are bad things i do that too (less frequently now but i sure did!), my point is it's kind of nice to see how ALL artist start out with rather derivative art but eventually move on to create more authentic art that is less about drawing beautiful and perfect people and more about trying to individualize them and that ALSO means giving them weird clothes, scars, asymmetric eyes, a receding hairline etc. like drawing the same beautiful character 200 times gets so boring and it's just more fun to try and make them a bit more human
Happy Pills was my favorite arc? whaaat? what gave you that idea 😁 (video taken directly from a clips channel don't look at me)
[CELLBIT: Pac…
PAC: sup, hi hi hi…
CELLBIT: What is happening.
PAC: Are you happy? today is THE BEST DAY EVER!! today is the the most perfect day of all~
CELLBIT: (overlapping) No, no. It's not the best day ever, you're not doing this to me, no, you're not doing this to me…
PAC: Yes it is, yes it is!
CELLBIT: No, no no no no
PAC: I was BAD Cellbit, i was SAD, i was down and THEN i found the solution. Forever showed me the solution
CELLBIT: Forever did what? Pac, for the love of-
PAC: (whispering) the solution is the medicine
PAC: WOO! And I feel much better now, I'm bettering the Favela, I'm making it super pretty for Richas to see. But I think today is Forever's day to stay with Richas, he didn't let me see Richas. I'll see Richas in a little bit, we'll go for a walk I think I'll do his quests-
CELLBIT: Richas isn't here….Richas isn't here, what are you talking about?
PAC: Of course he is!
CELLBIT: Richas disappeared, we need to go after him!
PAC: OF COURSE not! You need to take the medicine, Cellbit. You have to accept the treatment, it's the only way for you to get better!
CELLBIT: You are my only hope, Pac. You're my only hope, you're the only scientist that I know-
PAC: The only hope is the medicine
CELLBIT: You would've been able to make a cure for this, Pac
PAC: Of course not!
CELLBIT: How are we going to save Forever, Pac?! How are we going to save you?! How are we going after-
PAC: DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS! Don't talk about this, Cellbit. I don't wanna talk about this. I was in a very bad spot, okay? I lost everything, and the medicine made me better, it made me better, it's good for me
CELLBIT: We had eachother, Pac. We still had eachother, it was the only thing that we had, now I'm alone!
PAC: You're not, Cellbit! You have me, you have Forever! Ill- I'll talk with him, I'll talk with Forever to show you Richas, you'll understand.]
Examples of Haikyuu Characters Using Formal Speech for Sarcasm (慇懃無礼)
You may have heard that there is no such thing as sarcasm/irony in Japanese, which is true if you're thinking about it from an English perspective. But a form of sarcasm/humour in Japanese that I really enjoy is polite rudeness. Basically, it's when one uses excessively formal language towards someone they usually would not. It can be seen in English to an extent as well, for example, if your friend is being overdramatic over something you did you might say, "oh my! I can see that my gracious friend is outrageously offended by my ludicrous statement! I humbly apologize for my crudeness and beg you for forgiveness!!!!!!" It's very obvious that you are being sarcastic towards your friend by overly formalizing your words like that.
There happens to be a good amount of examples used in Haikyuu of this polite rudeness which I wanted to share with you all since it's not something that's really translated in the subtitles.
Tsukishima: theres a handful of times throughout the show (especially in season 1) where Tsukishima uses formal speech in relation to Kageyama whenever his King of the Court attitude appears. It's very clear that Tsukki is using formal speech to make fun of the "King". This is something thats pretty much conveyed in the subtitles tho.
Hinata: like Tsukki, Hinata also uses formalities towards Kageyama to poke fun at him, such as when he calls him "Kageyama-kun".
Bokuto: in the scene where Bokuto, Kuroo, and Akaashi are talking to Tsukishima, Kuroo mentions that Bokuto is within the top 5 spikers in the country to which Akaashi adds on how Bokuto isn't in the top 3. In response, Bokuto says "Don't raise me up just to let me get knocked down" (subtitles), he says it in formal Japanese which adds on a sense of humour for the audience.
Miya Twins: an obvious scene is when they are fighting and Osamu sarcastically says in formal speech, "Does wittle Atsumu-kun never make a mistake?!" (subtitles). Theres a couple more examples of the twins using polite rudeness against each other throughout the Karasuno Inarizaki match as well, you just gotta listen for it.
Suna: Atsumu says, "I'm not gonna let them just keep picking up my attacks" and Suna replies, "I'm the one that actually attacked, though". He says the sentence formally in a sarcastic way since obviously it really is him that's actually doing the attacks.
I'm sure theres more examples but those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
