I just remembered that "Human Candy" turns 5 today. And I don't have a drawing to celebrate this, oops. Erh, let me give you a fun fact, instead:
A printed "adult themed" Undertale fancomic (or doujinshi) from Japan inspired me to start "Human Candy". This doujinshi is about Sans who drinks something made by Alphys (based on a recipe by Gaster) which accidentally turns Sans into a human. The rest of the "plot" is filled with the tiniest censor bars imaginable.
Erh, yeah...
Anyways, happy birthday, "Human Candy"!

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia!
If I had a nickel for every time a BL mangaka referenced Salar de Uyuni in their work, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice

IMPORTANT: If you either own or are in a Black Butler themed Discord server, PLEASE READ THIS
Please stay away from this user that goes by Winthlock (or Tsuki. They mostly go by Winthlock, but I'm assuming Tsuki is either one of their alts or a different username they go by)
They're not only a proshipper who raids Kuroshitsuji servers and posts disgusting images (specifically Sebaciel images) but also a hacker.
If they post a link, DO NOT CLICK IT otherwise they will receive your information.
I'm in a Black Butler roleplaying discord server and we just had one of our members hacked by this person
Said member also provided screenshots. (There's a LOOOOT of screenshots btw. Also TW for proshipping and some other gross stuff.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Classic Sebaciel defender. Lovely. -_-
Tumblr media
If you're wondering what Pink no Koneko is, a quick google search shows that it's one of those Sebaciel doujinshis. So now you have a good idea of what's probably behind that censor. 🤢🤮
Tumblr media
And here is them posting the links that lead to accounts getting hacked. (In case you don't know, Grabify is what many hackers use to gain access to information such as a user's IP address)
One of the unfortunate victims is a friend of mine and in a mutual Black Butler server.
Tumblr media
For those confused; the person who got hacked by Winthlock (I censored said person's name in blue) calling out Winthlock (who is both using the hacked account and trying to play innocent about the whole thing)
The "MA" user you're seeing in the above screenshot is the hacked account.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Please note the same profile picture.
Winthlock also goes by winthlock03 as you can see. (Either it's their alt username or one of their alt accs)
Tumblr media
There's also been lots of speculation about Winthlock in general; another user (censored in pink) says that they also have some experience
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another user also states their experience (censored in green)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So if the information in the above screenshots is true, then there's a good chance that Winthlock is not only a proshipper, a hacker, but also a lowkey creep lusting for an underaged character and supporting their kid sister indulging in proshipping. (Again, this part is merely speculation, no screenshots of the comments, were provided unfortunately.)
But yeah, that's the basic gist of it.
I seriously cannot believe people are this petty. Proshipping is one thing: if you ship something disgusting like Sebaciel, fine. Whatever. No point in wasting time trying to change your mind. I'll just block you and move on with my day, simple.
But raiding servers and hacking people's accounts? That's honestly inexcusable. It's honestly abhorrent. And possibly convincing young individuals that proshipping is cool and something they should do and that there's nothing wrong with it? Absolutely degenerate behavior.
And I know there's gonna be someone saying shit among the lines of "Why are you aNTIS so worked up about a fictional ship"
This proshipper is raiding discord servers and hacking people, over a fictional ship. Just think about that for at least five seconds, please.
TL;DR if this person joins your server, please block them and ban them ASAP. Do NOT click the links they post.

Another big stop in Tokyo for me was Jimbocho Book Town! It is a neighborhood of, depending on who you ask, up to 400 generally-secondhand bookstores flanked by some of the major universities in Tokyo. The local government even prints out maps of the stores to help people find them all:
Tumblr media
Which, you will note, is not 400 stores, because the process of becoming an "official" Jimbocho Town Bookstore is an intensely political operation run by local stakeholders with tons of fights over what should qualify and what rights that entails - never change humanity!
"Book Towns" used to actually be quite a common thing, and they peaked during the literary boom of the late 19th century. Figuring out "what books existed" was a hard task, and to do serious research you needed to own the books (you weren't making photocopies), so concentrating specialty bookstores in one area made sense to allow someone to go to one place and ask around to find what they need and discover what exists. It was academia's version of Comiket! Modern digital information & distribution networks slowly killed or at least reduced these districts in places like Paris or London, but Jimbocho is one of the few that still survives.
Why it has is multi-causal for sure - half of this story is that Tokyo is YIMBY paradise and has constantly built new buildings to meet demand so rents have been kept down, allowing low-margin, individually-owned operations to continue where they have struggled in places like the US. These stores don't make much money but they don't have to. But as important is that Japan has a very strong 'book collector' culture, it's the original baseball cards for a lot of people. The "organic" demand for a 1960's shoujo magazine or porcelainware picture book is low, but hobbyists building collections is a whole new source of interest. Book-as-art-collection powered Jimbocho through until the 21st century, where - again like Comiket - the 'spectacle' could give it a lift and allow the area to become a tourist attraction and a mecca for the ~cozy book hoarder aesthetic~ to take over. Now it can exist on its vibes, which go so far as to be government-recognized: In 2001 the "scent wafting from the pages of the secondhand bookstore" was added to Japan's Ministry of Environment's List of 100 Fragrance Landscapes.
Of course this transition has changed what it sells; when it first began in the Meiji area, Jimbocho served the growing universities flanking it, and was a hotpot of academic (and political-polemic) texts. Those stores still exist, but as universities built libraries and then digital collections, the hobby world has taken over. Which comes back to me, baby! If you want Old Anime Books Jimbocho is one of the best places to go - the list of "subculture" stores is expansive.
I'll highlight two here: the first store I went to was Kudan Shobo, a 3rd floor walk-up specializing in shoujo manga. And my guys, the ~vibes~ of this store. It has this little sign outside pointing you up the stairs with the cutest book angel logo:
Tumblr media
And the stairs:
Tumblr media
Real flex of Japan's low crime status btw. Inside is jam-packed shelves and the owner just sitting there eating dinner, so I didn't take any photos inside, but not only did it have a great collection of fully-complete shoujo magazines going back to the 1970's, it had a ton of "meta" books on shoujo & anime, even a doujinshi collection focusing on 'commentary on the otaku scene' style publications. Every Jimbocho store just has their own unique collection, and you can only discover it by visiting. I picked up two books here (will showcase some of the buys in another post).
The other great ~subculture~ store I went to was Yumeno Shoten - and this is the store I would recommend to any otaku visiting, it was a much broader collection while still having a ton of niche stuff. The vibes continued to be immaculate of course:
Tumblr media
And they covered every category you could imagine - Newtype-style news magazine, anime cels, artbooks, off-beat serial manga magazines, 1st edition prints, just everything. They had promotional posters from Mushi Pro-era productions like Cleopatra, nothing was out of reach. I got a ton of books here - it was one of the first stores I visited on my second day in Jimobocho, which made me *heavily* weighed down for the subsequent explorations, a rookie mistake for sure. There are adorable book-themed hotels and hostels in Jimbocho, and I absolutely could see a trip where you just shop here for a week and stay nearby so you can drop off your haul as you go.
We went to other great stores - I was on the lookout for some 90's era photography stuff, particularly by youth punk photographer Hiromix (#FLCL database), and I got very close at fashion/photography store Komiyama Shoten but never quite got what I was looking for. Shinsendo Shoten is a bookstore devoted entirely to the "railway and industrial history of Japan" and an extensive map collection, it was my kind of fetish art. My partner @darktypedreams found two old copies of the fashion magazine Gothic & Lolita Bible, uh, somewhere, we checked like five places and I don't remember which finally had it! And we also visited Aratama Shoten, a store collecting vintage pornography with a gigantic section on old BDSM works that was very much up her alley. It had the porn price premium so we didn't buy anything, but it was delightful to look through works on bondage and non-con from as far back as the 1960's, where honestly the line between "this is just for the fetish" and "this is authentic gender politics" was...sometimes very blurry. No photos of this one for very obvious reasons.
Jimbocho absolutely earned its rep, its an extremely stellar example of how history, culture, and uh land use policy can build something in one place that seems impossible in another operating under a different set of those forces. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

This is a little post regarding today spoilers and revelations.
Well it ended up not being so little but… little opinion
Please don't take it bad is just a wish?
Here we go
Guys im am well aware that is sad to lose a ship to family bond or forced partner. But you can still ship it, canon divergence is a thing! Even tho these franchise exploit a bit the Yaoi coupling to gain more fans, we all know from the get going who is going to end up with whom in this series. Gosho had made it clear in a number of occasions what his intentions regarding the couples are, we can like it or not. But that it's no excuse to Hate on him, or in other fans, no body is holding you hostage to enjoy this series and to say that you were mislead is goinga bit too far? I mean we all knew.
I have my own experiences accepting that my ship is not and will never be canon 🥲 and ye is sad but that hasn't stoped me from keep liking the ship or the series, also i kept writing and creating for them because as long as we like it is fine.
This new revelation is not a ban on the art or the fics or Doujinshis, is just a fact that you can maneuver around 🤷🏻‍♀️
The point of all this is please don't start spreading hate, we are all here because we love DCMK maybe different ships yes, maybe a bit tired of the different levels of bullshit 😅 but all DCMK fans at the end.
I have seen a couple of comments about hating Gosho and the franchise for taking advantage of them, but, in my opinion, even tho he gave a lot of candy to some Yaoi ships, he was never private in saying what the canon ships were.
Now I'm not saying “i don't be sad! Don’t be mad” you can! as i said in a previous post, it was a low blow! But to go from there to spread hate is a bit much.
I hope from the bottom of my heart that no one here take this as an attack, I'm just trying to express my wish to not have conflicts here. I know X is completely different from this place, but i have seen there the hate soil the beautiful community of DCMK fans and i’d be really sad to watch something like that happen here too.
I want you all to know that i love all your art and it’d be a real boomer see a great part of it lost due a silly little thing like new Canon (it's not a sarcastic comment btw, we as fans should be used to do what we feel is right in our own creations fics/comics/art, and i insist canon divergence Is a thing! You can keep on and ignore canon)
Well that's it. I'm sorry for the long rant but I really enjoy it here and I was a bit worried
Lots of love for everyone!
And to the Kaishin shippers that were affected, a big hug and keep going guys! Lots of strength for this difficult times

Well then uh. Would you mind sharing those Albatross djs. Because senyuu content is so far and in between....
Most important request of our time ok here we go here's the ones that are freely available on the internet and aren't secret-hidden on any discord servers
Literally anything by our lord and savior suzu, a good chunk of which are TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH, AMEN
Tumblr media
Tipsy Quest by 穂斗水与作。(who is still very active on pixiv btw)
Captivity Quest by 穂斗水与作。
Bad Status by  Nakamura Akito
The Incident Where... by mokomichi
That translator also did "Let's Become A Family" by Shakeko parts 1 and 2, but I can't find a safe or unbroken link to part 1, so search at your own risk.
This blog did a few translations of short comics. I like the ones by 高木キック, and this one
This blog has fanart translations mixed in with official translations
This isn't a doujinshi but I enjoy it a lot
Futari no Hanashi by Yamada (What do you mean this isn't albatross?? You should see the comment section on websites where they got comments. Everyone is like "wow its albatross")
You don't need doujinshis, you only need fics by floofboy, hero of senyuu
Bonus
The next few I'm only giving names cause I can only find links on very sketchy websites. I have half a dozen ad/pop-up/mining blockers so proceed with caution. Avoid MRM if you don't have at least three types of blockers. They aren't available online in english anyway, I just like the pictures.
Lovely Mermaid by moko
Pureiyā o sentaku shite kudasai by Multivitamin
HappyxHappy Thanks To You by KaraYae
Hotties like me spend an unholy amount of time in the アルロス tag on pixiv (and ロスアル of course, but less so. Because I am a woman of class and taste). Also I basically only use twitter to gaze at the albatross art women in japan and korea make.
In conclusion:

Today's translation #526
Yuri!!! on Life official guidebook, Toshiharu Mizutani (Art Director) interview
Part 3.
-- For sure, there is a lot of small things in the designs.
M: When I look at just the line arts, I always think that they are drawn in a very loose way, and a lot of those small things are skillfully drawn in a simplified way/omitted. It's something that only somebody with a lot of practice can do. Even newcomers can draw precisely, if they look at a drawing and try to copy it, but the most important thing is not to draw something that is not necessary. If you have to later erase something that you drew, then you give yourself twice the amount of work, but only people with a lot of skill can simply not draw too much to begin with.
-- Then it must have been a good opportunity to learn for the younger staff members, I'd guess?
M: They were all very desperate [to get the job done] and working while on the brink of death.
-- The ice in the skating scenes is very realistic, too. Was it a request from the Director?
M: Yeah. Since the first PV. Even I have watched some figure skating on DVD, so it was something that was on my mind, too. In case of ice shows, the lights are very elaborate, and your eyes are really drawn to the ice, cut with blades of skaters' shoes. Because of how it sparkles. I was wondering if it would be possible to try to achieve this effect, but I thought that if I touched this subject, we all were going to suffer, so I kept quiet. But then I decided that I want to have those cuts in the ice, after all. All were drawn on the same layer, but then split into multiple layers. We put at least three such layers on the surface of the ice.
[Notes: Long time no rant, so...
((Just in case, newer readers may not be aware, that I'm a "fujo-hater" 😂 But fret not, I'm not against seeing relationship between Yuuri and Victor as romantic or against people reading BL, but I'm very much against fujos, who as it was in the case of YoI, try to "teach"/press the creators/other staff members to make the canon bend to their doujinshi tropes.))
The talk about staff members on the brink of death reminded me about that huge controversy about MAPPA that happened last year 💀 It's not a secret that Sayo was overworking animators during YoI and there are still screenshots of animators calling her names on twitter and say condolences to each other, bc of being involved with YoI. So, YoI fandom now hating MAPPA, bc "bad MAPPA, bad working conditions, poor animators...", while demanding that they should stop producing shonens, bc they should make YoI instead is well... an example of how spending time in an echo chamber and just following the crowd can make you a huge hypocrite.
It should also be said that it's not that those shonens are "just for boys" or anything like that if we talk about this topic, btw. GoYuu from JJK (Gojo x Yuuji) is so popular with fujos that it has now more views in total on pixiv than VicYuu, and gets more views in 10-30 min than VicYuu gets in 24 hours (a huge credit for that should ofc go to YoI's IP holders, as they've been trying to starve the fandom to death since 2018, basically...) It's really ironic that it's YoI fans who are so much against MAPPA making those popular shonens, bc so many Jp VicYuu fujos moved to GoYuu (it's basically the same trope "the most awesome, strong and cool man in the world the seme" x "fujoshi avatar the main character in the center of the universe the uke") - one of the reasons, why Jp fans don't attack MAPPA - they very much enjoy those shonens. (Another is that they can read and it's very easy to check who owns the IP.)
To sum up, as always, it's very unfair for YoI fans to call Otsuka CEO the greedy homophobic liar, while absolutely refusing to see the bigger picture.]

HII hello i love your products <3 Especially the phone chams and the pins,,, I'm unable to buy them myself but i would absolutely love to
How do you make em btw? do you have someone else do em for you? Do you do em yourself? I'd love to sell stuff like that too, but i'm unsure of how to start >_<"
you should totally do it!! it's nice to have something especially catered to ur tastes haha
for most of my stuff i (and many others lol) use vograce! they have a bunch of different kinds of merch, have sales pretty frequently, and very low minimum buy requirements. i've also had good customer service experiences and even though it can take a while for overseas shipping they are generally good about getting it in the mailing system quickly
for enamel pins, i've used vivipins. i've only used them twice, but no problems so far. enamel pins are probably the most you have to invest upfront since the minimum amount you have to buy is usually quite high
for stickers i often use sticker ninja, they give you extra on what you order, are very high quality, and the sample option is great if you don't want a huge bulk (and they still give you extras here too!!)
for prints i honestly just use my local walgreens! and for my test doujinshi i used my local staples! buttons and small postcards/prints and booklets (like the doujinshi) can also be fairly easy to find a local printer for as well ^^ (and it can be fairly cheap- for souyo zine i needed 200 of 2 postcard designs and got both for ~$50 from a local printer)
sidenote: one time i did try to diy my own shrink charms and they went very poorly LMAO but it was still fun to try- this was the tutorial i used and it probably works fine i am just v impatient sometimes
good luck to you on making things \o/

Look just below!! I'm tearing up of happiness because of this Wiki page – it's dedicated to KojiKen!...
Furthermore the admins used my redraw of THE famous scene (from the episode 119 『運命のタイム・アップ』 - "The time up of destiny") as the profile picture of the ship.
God bless you dear shippers/admins, let's keep on spreading the love in the fandom. Thank you for renewing my interest and love for the boys. ❤️‍🔥
Btw, I have some precious facts to add about KojiKen in addition to the wiki page (read them below the link) ⤵
KenKoji is the opposite of KojiKen – in the first ship, Ken is depicted as the seme (top) and Koji as the uke (bottom). This distinction is especially true on the JP side where these two ships are seen as totally different, meanwhile some overseas shippers tend to use both names interchangeably.
At the peak of the ships popularity (80~90s), KojiKen and KenKoji shippers used to argue and fight at the Comiket over which couple was the more logical, natural, etc. As for now, both sides calmed down and mind their own business.
Two celebration days are dedicated to KojiKen: 17/10 (Meiwa KojiKen day) and 01/10 (Middle school KojiKen day). The dates are a reference to their squad numbers.
In an old issue of the Weekly Shōnen Jump in which Captain Tsubasa used to be published, a young woman sent a letter to complain about the sheer number of lewd doujinshi featuring Kojiro and Ken. There even is a screenshot of her letter! [I'll translate it and make a post about it latter]
Tumblr media
In an event centered on Captain Tsubasa, Hirotaka Suzuoki (Kojiro's JP VA) and Nobuo Tobita (Ken's JP VA) have been asked by someone/the public to improvize a love scene (a.k.a making-out scene). Here is the dialogue:
JP 🇯🇵
飛田さん (健):「キャプテン、愛してます」
鈴置さん (小次郎):「後悔するぞ」
________________
ENG 🇬🇧 (my translation)
Tobita (Ken): Captain, I love you.
Suzuoki (Kojiro): You'll regret it.
Sadly, it's impossible to get a hand on the scene's recording, but some Japanese women on the internet confirmed they did hear the seiyuu's dialogue. Some lucky women do have audio records tho!!
In every series (manga and anime) Kojiro and Ken are often seen next to each other.
Both of them share some manners, such as rolling their sleeves + jogging pants since elementary school, they hate to lose and are pretty hotheaded at times.
When addressing Ken, Kojiro uses the pronoun お前 (omae), a very informal way of saying "you" in Japanese, while Ken uses the pronoun あんた (anta) for Kojiro – it's the contracted form of あなた (anata) and is an informal way of saying "you". In this case "anta" denotes respect. This pronoun is often used by women when talking in a casual/informal way to someone, but when it's used by a man talking to another man (only in manga/anime) it sometimes shows a certain level of respect, while not sounding as uptight and respectful as "anata". Married men and women often call each other "omae" (man to woman) and "anta/anata" (woman to man), so Kojiro and Ken give off a "married couple" aura.
Ken shows his vulnerable and gentle side (almost) only in front of Kojiro.
Example ⤵
Tumblr media

I'm sure I forgot some facts, so if I remember them I'll complete the list later.

It is I, anon from earlier today and I can now in confidence tell you that your fics have broken me down into nothingness.
Not only am I stupid and cannot read tags but I repeatedly let myself be comforted by your writing only to be hit with the sad truth at the end. You can’t keep getting away with this /j .Your style is so unique and I can feel the passion you have for the characters as you can see their inner turmoils on the writings. I love how you bring them to life
My personal favourite is Monologue (which is highly underrated btw). I love the dynamic between Fumi and Maki plus Fumi talking about her day made me smile so much. Then cane the gut wrenching feeling about Maki. Honestly you managed to balance the fluff with the angst out so well and I really adored it.
To conclude this annoying fan’s rambling, you are my favourite blue period writer and such a great storyteller. I know how you’ve stated that the fandom is quite inactive (cause it is) but your presence manages to be so outstanding to me. I don’t know why I was too nervous to follow now but I might as well write my letter of appreciation so it can be covered by the bots.
I hope you are able to continue doing what you love and have a great rest of day. 🙃
thanks op, kinda figured bcs i have emails from ao3 and your usernames match
personally 'monologue' is quite the lackluster for me, i wanted to use the concept, i think i wanted to make it about ytyt with yotasuke that would tell yatora about the summer festival only to reveal at the end that yatora was unconscious the whole time so yotasuke wasn't talking with anyone, i got the idea while working on 'a psychological take' (where i wrote already a summer festival so it felt unnecessary to do it again) and at the same time i wanted to write fumimaki (bcs there's literally nothing for this married couple, almost canon i'd say, more canon than ytyt), so i combined both, i was still in a phase where i wanted to kill all characters and make them suffer which i think i did a lot and now i just want to write them relax and be happy (writing depression is hard), so it's not really that original inside my head, but im glad at least someone else likes it (for me billy of tea was way more fun to think about)
tbh i've been thinking about moving on from blp for quite a few months already but i simply can't find something else to interest me the same way ytyt does, which sucks bcs if i don't write then no one will write stuff, rn i want to finish this fic i'm sorking on (i hope i get to 100k), then a oneshot about ytyt soulmates and another oneshot about miki and ayano only, then idk, i think it would be good to retire (not to be petty actually, but i did write 40% of the words in the yatoyota tag on ao3)
fandom isn't really only inactive, it is now a bit (i continuously try to collect blp fans here and on twt, the more the merrier), but i just felt ignored since the anime was airing, again maybe it was the bad timing bcs i started posting my first fic towards the end of the anime when people lost the interest bcs that adaptation is horrible, then in february yamaguchi had covid and from march to july it was complete hiatus and then the whole dj drama (which i'd lie if i said the mob mentality to drop it didn't affect me too although i was the one to uncover the doujinshis on my own weeks before it got to twitter, anyway my idea was: this isn't a piece of media i care about and i am already deeply in love with blue period so whatever, my respect for yamaguchi decreased and i got a passive aggressive attitude towards her until she posted the new year ytyt picture with bunnies this january, now i seriously don't care abt whatever else she drew - also damn i'm really side railing with this)
thanks again for your support, sorry for the long unnecessary text lmao, i have too much free time

Character Ask: Scorpio Milo
Tumblr media
1. He tries so hard in everything. He is willing to question his own morals and get better. The series kind of did him dirty, but he is indeed one of the Best Boys. I loved him in the ep. G and Aldo in Saintia Sho (episode G my beloved btw)
2. He is a Hot Head and that can put him in a serious Hor Mess. What can I say. Scorpios, right?
3. The whole spiel at the fight vs Hyouga at the Sanctuary, hands down.
4. Scorpio Milo and Leo Aiolia bros forever. They both are the sides of the same Dumbass™️ coin.
5. Scorpio Milo and Aquarius Camus. First ship ever and Always Beloved.
6. Whatever involves Surtr, or whatever his name was. I admit being a bit miffed when Saga is involved, but only because I don't see a relationship there.
7. He and Aiolia have the most stupidest challenges going on. Like Jackass Sanctuary version. Shura and Deathmask definitely egg them on.
8. Just because he doesn't get to show off that much, or dies soon, it doesn't mean that he is not strong. He is a gold Saint for a reason ppl!
8. This is a fault on my side, I have yet to find a song that suits him that I like.
9. The Sacred Saga art book is a work of art and look. I am crying.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is also Milo drawn by an artist who I believe left the internet as a whole, I can't find them anywhere. I think it was one of the first blatant cases of art theft back in the days (talking prior to 2000) and my mind registered their name as Aquoi. If anyone knows of them pls let me know, so I can at least credit them properly.
Tumblr media
And there are also good old CLAMP, who before becoming famous mangakas were drawing doujinshi, yes, yaoi doujinshi, and milocamus drawn by them were all the rage.

Why do you like Kakasasu?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I waited to reply to this because I wanted to be sure it wasn’t a troll and it wasn’t a drama starting attempt (like this or this, gems found in the sasuke/KS tag) since it’s a subject I am very interested in.
I replied to Kakashi/Sasuke related asks, shippy or not shippy, here, here and here. More about them here, here and here. Put yourself comfortable cause this is gonna be long. Not putting it under a readmore cause I remember ppl complaining they coulnd’t open it on mobile phones (?). Also, moralists who are lurking: don’t interact, get out of my blog. Youll be blocked on sight.
When I started reading N*ruto I was into Bleach a lot, and the fact that the characters were a little older and looked older made me not get into Nar that much at first, because they looked like kiddies lol. I didn’t care about Nar as a character and his initial rivalry with Sas was cute but not enough to get me interested. Only when Kakashi got closer to Sasuke I started being veery interested in the story and in the characters. What I found intriguing was that Kakashi was older and an authority figure, but also someone to look up and who helped his students, BUT at the same time he wasn’t exactly a father-like figure or a big brother-like figure, because he had his dark side, that back then wasn’t well flashed out but that nevertheless showed a closed-off person who kept everything inside, not letting others get too close to him.
(then I started liking N*rusasu mostly because there were so many cool doujinshi especially Emi10/Rankai and Engawaken, while KS doujinshi were so meh, kinda in old yaoi style like Loveless, with tiny Sas who looked even younger hahaha, not my thing)
As those who know my blog and/or my writing know already, I am not interested in healthy, cute, positive dynamics in fiction. I might enjoy them, I might be happy when there are such moments, but I can’t like a whole relationship/dynamic/story only like this because I like to explore complicated ones in fiction.Because fiction is very useful for this, it makes you explore dark, taboo things, without affecting reality (no matter what idiots say), it’s cathartic, it’s a way to do, see, experience things without doing anything.
Back to topic tho, I found their initial dynamic very intriguing. A broken, traumatized yet extremely driven Sasuke, acting as confident and strong as he can, but showing his trauma in various occasions, otherwise being mostly aloof, lost in his own thoughts, and a differently broken Kakashi, acting chill but at the same time always ready to act when needed, yet always kinda distracted, aloof, lost in his owh thoughts (and later we’ll know he took Obito’s mannerisms because he was a stickler to rules). The way Kakashi takes a special interest for Sasuke, clearly the most driven, the best of the team, with whom he holds back much less (when he trains them, like when in the beginning, during the bell test, he fights with Sas and seeing that he almost took it, he overpowers him) while he is different with the others (Nar will have Jiraiya later). The way he protects Sasuke during the chuunin exams, while he’s in the hospital and Kabuto is trying to kill him.
Mostly, the controversial moments...like I said I live for these kind of things. where he both protects and threatens him...like when he does that seal to Sasuke, for his curse mark, and he tells him that if that curse mark takes over he’ll kill him. Or when he ties Sasuke up so he won’t join Orochimaru.
Before someone says bs like *you’re not Sas fan if you like that scene* (I know there are many like this and I want all of them out of my blog btw) uh, it’s not how it works guys. You can support a character and still be intrigued by scenes where said character is tied up/in a forcibly submitted position and so on. Guess what, some of those scenes are made for fanservice even (and Sas has many of these, so if you don’t see the appeal/refuse to admit that there is appeal, it’s you who have a problem). So even tho I disagree with Kakashi not wanting to listen to Sasuke’s reasons for revenge (and later supporting SHikamaru’s, I replied to this in one of the asks I linked) I do find that scene interesting...I mean Sasuke tied up in a very suggestive way and yet defying him and threatening to kill his loved ones and Kakashi opening up in a very weird way vaguely replying that he lost those ppl already? It shows a lot about them, their personalities, everything.
I am sticking to part 1 because there are more meaningful interactions between them, I wished there were more in part 2 but kishi shifted Kakashi’s ‘interest’ to Nar, making him one of Nar’s followers...even so, the intractions they had were very interesting. Their fight after Sasuke fights Danzo is one of my fave moments in the whole story tbh, much more than the later confrontation with Nar. Kakashi for the first time has an inner only, yet strong, emotional reaction, having to fight and supposedly kill his former student who became a rogue with a death sentence on his head...he realizes this is how Hiruzen felt against Orochimaru. It’s a strong realization from someone like him who was always so closed off and aloof that he totally lacked empathy.
On the other hand Sasuke is in a different mindset. He’s sort of high for having succeeded in eliminating the one who made Itachi suffer so much, he’s thinking about killing the elders and destroy the village, so he’s basically lost in the recent past of Danzo’s death and in the future plans he’s making, he’s not in the present moment almost...but he has to fight anyway, and it’s a cool fight, also because he’s weakened already and Kakashi is strong...and then he gets blind, totally, and it’s an amazingly intriguing moment, the kind of controversial stuff I’m interested in, because that’s when he could be totally overpowered by Kakashi, if the story didn’t have other priorities (putting Nar in the center of attention with their confrontation).
Their later moments, like during the war, are meh cause the interest shifted already completely, but their moments in jail (anime only ofc) and their Shinden interactions (only through messages) are interesting to me. Very much so, because they show power dynamics very well, with Kakashi as THE authority and Sasuke as the one submitted. In jail it’s even more evident with him looking down at the younger tied up and blindfolded...like, wow. It’s like fanfiction material (in fact I wrote one (ff.net/a03) and there was the coolest fanart inspired by it! here..there were more but this came on my dash today so).
You mentioned power dynamics...their dynamics are all power dynamics because Kakashi was never at Sasuke’s same level and he never acted like he was, and when Sasuke was stronger, during the war, they basically didn’t interact, and when the war was over and Sasuke was brainwashed and tamed into submission the power dynamic remained the same.
The difference imo between them and other power dynamics based pairings is that they are closer than what could be defined rare pairings such as Obito (they had a very interesting one tho, if only it was developed), Madara (the story was already developed in a pro Konoha-anti Uchiha way but it would have been so cool to have the 2 Uchiha interact more), or other older and stronger characters, so the dynamic could be written in a cool way in a fanfiction but in canon Kakashi created it already. So, while I can imagine something like Shisui/Sasuke, Obisasu or more, in my head, and I can come up with some AU or canon divergent/canon behind the screen (like when Sas stayed with Obito after the transplant), Kakashi and Sasuke had canon interactions that showed power dynamics already.
(Then there is Itasasu, which is a huge power dynamic based relationship, that also had amazingly strong feelings though, and those who know me know that for me Itachi will always be Sasuke’s most loved person, and that he was the same for Itachi. So ofc imo IS is a much stronger bond compared to KS but still. Also I remember in the beginning how many fics I read where Itachi was abusive to Sas and Kakashi stepped in lol. And it’s not a mystery that even though I think the IS bond is the strongest I find other pairings and character dynamics very interesting, so much that I like to explore them even more than IS, which, imo, is almost a given fact so I don’t always feel the need to explore it)
Another thing I find intriguing is that Kakashi always saw Sas at his ‘worst’...in Konoha’s terms I mean. When he wanted revenge in pt 1, after he killed Danzo and he was weak and so desperate and hysterical that they thought he got crazy, when he was jailed. It’s a big power he has, to be able to see someone like this.
Tbh it’s a pity that there were no post war moments (B*ruto shit doesn’t count) where they interact ‘normally’ cause I would have liked to see them, both as normal interactions where they get closer again, now that Sas is older, where they train and they get physical (and Kakashi has a lot of repressed anger, jealousy and possessiveness to let out on the one who betrayed his sensei and went to another...not my opinion but it could be Kakashi’s pov) because I think power dynamic would come up a lot, even from apparently cute moments.
I’ll end this super long essay hoping that you didn’t fall asleep lol, and adding that Kakasasu was the first Nar pairing I shipped, which it speaks a lot about why I get so irritated when someone mentions it negatively.

21 - Holiday (RusAme Doujinshi)
Tumblr media
I don’t own this series, I’m simply your friendly neighborhood translator~
Pixiv ID is 85094881
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Btw, for the cover, in the og on pixiv, that image was actually the last page, but since it had a “3″, I figured it was meant to be somewhat of a cover but perhaps the artist wanted the next page to be the “preview” of their post to attract more viewers, which makes sense. I believe this whole thing is also meant to be just a preview for the actual doujin, they didn’t really say in the caption other then they made this a few years ago and might upload more later. I’m completely fine with just this tho, it’s cute :3
Btw, the artist who drew this also drew the turgiri doujin I translated earlier ^^
They have a couple more I believe, but I’m not sure yet if I’ll translate those too, we’ll see

Jetter Mars + Ehoba collection complete!
Scanned the whole thing in a few hours yesterday and cleaned it up last night. But I was tired and decided to post them and this post tomorrow. Tomorrow is today, so here are the links. (All my other works are on archive.org as well. ) I need to re-scan anything, let me know.
Jetter Mars on Dropbox
Jetter Mars on Archive.org
I will cross post this on Twitter (@candy_sonic) and on my Kofi after I post this here.
Under the cut is the history of Jetter Mars and the manga(s) if you don't know much about it. It's a bit long so no pressure if you skip it.
In other news, I found and bought the last two Ehoba Doujinshis early this week - When You Wish Upon A Star (R-18 version) and Equal 1! I tried to combine shipping, but Star shipping out the day after I bought Equal. Not sure when they'll get here, I'm guessing by next month.
Tagging active Asto Boy and Jetter Mars fans:
@z-skull @snaileo @xblubotx @cookietastic @thelilithmachine @ab-kusoposting @eimie1
In the late 70s Osamu Tezuka, worked as director at the Toei Animation studio, wanting to continue working in animation. He proposed a remake/sequel to the 60's Astro boy called 'Mighty Mars' series which Toei approved. However, the rights to 60's AB belonged to Mushi Productions, Tezuka's anime company that went bankrupt in '73. The rights then went to it's sponsor company, Meiji Seika Kaisha, Ltd afterwards. So no official remake was possible.
He change the name to Jetter Mars and the main theme of the show was about Mars learning about the world around him and growing as a person, opposed to Astro's struggling to create a world where robots and humans could live peacefully together. There's still similarities such as Astro and Ochanomizu VA voicing Mars and Dr. Kawashimo.
Tezuka was involved in it's early development only. Toei Animation collaborated with Madhouse thus most of the animators were were ex Mushi employees. It's was translated into Italian (called 'Captain Jet') and a Spanish dub (called 'Jet Mars: The Bionic Boy') but no English dub.
Tori also owned a company called Televiland, who created Jetter Mars mangas and allowed Popy (now called Bandai) to create other JM merchandise. If you searched for Jetter Mars merch, then you seen them. Most look haunted TBF.
JM reception was not bad but not good either, with people wanting 60's AB back. Adding to that, Tezuka lost interest after 27 episodes (Less then a year) due to Toei's micro managing tactics. A few years later he obtained the rights to Astro Boy and created the remake in color - the 80's version of Astro Boy - at Tezuka Productions. This was his last Astro Boy project before his death in '89.
Jetter Mars faded in to obscurity, save a few cameos, one known one is in Astro Boy: Omega Factor (Really good game BTW) and referenced in Atom: The Beginning.
However, like most of Tezuka's lesser known works, Jetter Mars does have it's fans - and those fans are Astro Boy fans! A fansub also exist even if it's a bit wonky in places. And even the manga got reprinted back to 2019.
There's multiple versions of the manga, 4 to be exact. But the first one, created by Ikahara Shigeto (credited as Ikehara Shigeru in the manga) or Shigetoshi Ikehara is the only one to be reprinted.
Shigeto was one of Tezuka's pupils and assistant, working with him on Marvelous Melmo at Tezuka Productions in '79. Funny enough, he never worked on an Astro Boy manga but on the Rockman (Mega Man) manga's in the 90's. The only other Tezuka properties he worked on was a 3 part manga version of Marine Express (2016-2018). The vols are pretty cheap but IDK if I'll get it. I mean, does anyone really liked Marine Express like that? He mostly worked on licensed properties but he does have an webcomic called Monsieur Akashi. All the info I have about him is from the Mega Man wiki.
Again like the anime, Tezuka never worked on any versions of the manga. And as mentioned before, no version of the manga was reprinted untill 2019, Shigeto version only. Until then, the few people who was aware of any JM manga assume the was only one manga- Shigeto version- and assumed is was lost media.
The Shigeto manga adapted some of the anime episodes and thus can be considered canon. There's very little know about the other versions save a few pics so I can't talk much about them in terms of quality.
So why did they republish the manga? Who knows? Astro Boy Reboot been in the works near a decade with near nothing to show for it, so I doubt his remake/alternative series will get one anytime soon. We can only wait and see.

EyeBeast 2021 Interest Survey Results
The votes have been cast so let’s do a quick recap of the results and address a few things.
General Interest
Male Subjects in Fetish Stories: 57.5% Yes, 42.5% No
Female Subjects in Fetish Stories: 99.1% Yes, 0.9% No
-No surprise considering most of the subjects of my stories are female focused.
Preferred Subject of Fetish Stories:
Females: 70.8%, Both Male and Female: 22.6%, Male: 6.6%
Futa (Females with male genitalia): 53.8% Yes, 46.2% No
-I’m honestly surprised by the response to this question considering how taboo the subject of futa appears to be.
Direct Sexual Content in Fetish Stories: 77.8% Yes, 22.2 % No
Burping: 85.4% Yes, 14.6% No
Farting: 75.5% Yes, 24.5% No
Body Hair (arm pits, groin, belly, etc.): 54.2% Yes, 45.8%No

IQ Loss/Mental Regression: 50.9% Yes, 49.1% No
Personality/Mental Changes: 77.4% Yes, 22.6% No
-Interesting to see the division between straight up intelligence drain as opposed to the general idea of mental changes considering how close the two subjects are.
Hypnosis: 66.5% Yes, 33.5%No
-I haven’t touched this subject very much, but judging by the reaction and my own interests, I wouldn’t be opposed to trying a hypnosis story again in the future.

Deviant Transformations (Fuckplant/Succplants, Buttfaces, Dorses/Queen's Stallions, Lady Pots, etc.): 67.9% No, 32.1% Yes
-Honestly surprised this category did this well, but that might be due to the sheer variety this subject matter covers. Might have to do another series of polls with each one individually to get a better idea.
Overall, I’d say the results were rather enlightening. If a subject you are interested didn’t get a high approval rating, it doesn’t mean I won’t ever write about it. I intend to keep things varied up like I usually do, but I will consider my options when doing polls in the future regarding these kinds of things.
Miscellaneous Questions and Comments
Starting off, let me address a few things people have mentioned I missed in this survey.
Hyper Expansion
-I kind of include this along with the other expansions, however my personal preferences usually steer me towards nothing too big with my stories. It’s very rare that I go anything beyond the size of a house for anything.
Bodypart tf ( butt tf, breast tf E.T.C)
-I find that very similar to inanimate object TF, but I can see enough differences to make it a different category. That being said, I’m not sure I’m too fond of the identity death usually associated with these.
Femboy
-Noted and definitely on the table depending on if the right story comes along.
Cavewoman/De-Evolution
-I originally had this on the poll, but I decided it’s more lumped into the Personality TF category.
General inflatable transformation like pool toys. Also flattening.
-I consider those part of the inanimate object TFs. As for flattening, nothing against it, but my usual repertoire consists of making things grow, not the other way around.
Head, hand, leg, and other body part inflation
-I’ve done head expansion to a certain extent in my recently done Raven slob story. As for the others, I think they’re a little to niche of a topic for me. Not forbidden, just not something I’m particularly interested in.
Fart Inflation
-Considering the positive reaction to both the inflation and fart category, I would have to assume this is a definite yes for most of my audience.
Candy/Sweets TF
-This has always been something I’ve wanted to do, but could never think of a good scenario to place it in. I’ll definitely put it on the table once I find the right premise for it.
Supernatural transformations (demons, angels, mythical creatures, etc.)/ Monster People
-For demons and angels, I feel like those should be included with the personality TFs. As for creatures, that depends on what we’re talking about. May need to do separate polls for each type to gauge interest.
Robot TF
-Not a particular interest for me, plus it kind of falls under the humanoid object TF category
Mutant TF
-Too vague
Monterfication
-Falls under both the uglification and/or anthro TF categories
Strong Fat
-A little too specific but seen as favorable with the results of the WG and muscle growth categories.
Clown
-Part of the personality TF category.
Possession
-Sort of close to hypnosis, but I can see enough differences to warrant a separate category. Just have to be careful to tread the line without going towards anything to icky in terms of rape or anything like that.
Immobility
-See hyper growth.
Clothing TF
-Already covered in inanimate object TF
Multibreast
-An excellent addition that’s more than welcome in my stories. Will definitely need to include this in a future poll.
Comments and Questions
Now let me address some questions and comments from the survey.
“But what about princess deadpool? watch the second deadpool musical.”
-I didn’t realize there was a Deadpool musical to begin with. I’ll have to take a look at that.
“Personally i always like if there is transformation between couple like male and female. Or even female and female. Rather than one transformation. Like i like it when one of slob, transformation can share with another person”
-I share this sentiment. Nothing better than two people indulging in one another’s desires. Although, I feel that’s for any fetish, not just slob.
“Your stuff is always a pleasure to read! Question though would be what are YOUR favorite things to do and such due to some of your things being commissions? Other than that you are quite grand at making kinky stories!”
-My personal favorites are just anything that can give me a challenge and an opportunity to try out things I haven’t thought of before, ergo my tendency towards variety.
“Dude i stay up day and night waiting for you to post everytime you do it makes me feel better about the evening btw if you want to chat sometime my discord is (NAME WITHELD)”
-I appreciate what this person is trying to do, but they really shouldn’t be posting information like this so willy nilly. Thank you for the offer, but you have to realize that there is a time and place for these sorts of things. Please do not come at me with friend requests or anything like that out of the blue. Regardless, I do thank this person for their kind words.
“I really like some of your darker stuff. I don't know if it's a common sentiment but I love unhappy stories.”
-I tend to avoid going dark in my stories, this is due in part to the prevalence of bad ends I’ve seen in most fetish content, especially things like hentai or doujinshi. Like I’ve said, it’s not off the table, but I usually prefer to keep things on a lighter tone in my stories.
“For the record Fat giantess slobs are the best.”
-That seems very subjective, but I won’t deny it’s a good combo.
“Recently I have noticed that you been doing a lot more slob material then just about anything else for the past few months. I admit I'm not a huge slob person it kind of comes down to my mood. while I would appreciate more variety in your subject matter you are the writer and I (and several others) appreciate you sharing your artistry with us.”
-A lot of that comes from what both my commissioners and people on my Patreon ask for. Keep in mind that I do have to oblige people that give me money to write. I do try to find time to write other things though.
“Just do what makes you happy. But i'd love to see more male focused expansion/transformation.”
-As I’ve said, I’m up for it, but I need the proper story and opportunities.
“male on female facesitting/squashing/trampling is always good.”
-See the above question.
“Do you ever feel discouraged to write something if it's about something you don't enjoy OR feel like you write too much of? Other than that, keep up the good work, take care of yourself, and good luck with your future stories!”
-For stuff I don’t enjoy, it depends. If it’s a fetish I’m not into, I treat it as way to try out some new things and vary up my writing ability. Whether or not I learn to appreciate said fetish is another matter. That being said, I’ve made it well known what fetishes I won’t touch at all such as rape, scat, or vore. I find that I don’t have too much of the second problem since I keep finding ways to vary things up with similar fetishes with either varied scenarios or interactions.
Various words of encouragement
-Thank you to everyone that sent me these, as they’re always a good pick me up for the day.
Finally, the Disney Princess empathy votes are:
Rapunzel: 37.7%
Alice: 24.1%
Belle: 20.8%
Tianna: 17.5%
Now you may be asking what this survey is for. Well…that’s for me to know and for you to find out at a later time. Although, I may be prompted to answer any requests about any associated writing things that come from this survey.
Summary
Thank you everyone who took the time to answer the survey and let their opinions be heard. In the end, we had over 200 people participate to give a pretty sizable sample size. I may consider doing several more of these in the near future to focus on specific topics and cover things I may have missed.
