“The man is dumb, the woman is the smart one “ “no, it’s better when the woman is the dumb one and the man is the smart one” blahblahblah enough. Consider the man/woman ship dynamic where they’re both beautiful, sweet, and stupid, and the braincell holder is their mutual friend.

Process - Sunakawa Cake 🎂
A little breakdown of how I made my 3D recreation of the "thank you sunakawa" cake from Ore Monogatari ~
1. Collecting reference
Aside from referencing stills from the anime, I came across the official cake sketch from Madhouse's website! It was really helpful in identifying all the toppings on the cake and other details.
Next was collecting real-life references of all the ingredients I needed to make and taking notes of the shapes, textures and variety.
2. Modelling & Texturing
I go back and forth between modelling and texturing, and jump all over the place so I'll break things down based on the toppings/elements:
A. Macaron
I referenced Canosie Lab's macaron tutorial here, tweaking the process a little bit; using one mesh instead of two and using particles to distribute the boolean meshes. I ended up with LOTS of vertices, so I made a lower poly version of the macaron and used those to avoid bogging down the computer. As for the texture, I used Blender's procedural nodes, utilizing mostly the noise texture node.
Above: The first row are the lower poly versions of the macaron and the second row are the original meshes with around 200,000 vertices each o_o
B. Cookies
There's not much to it here; I just modeled the cookies and used procedural textures I've made for a previous project (I'll post that project soon!!!)
The icing is made using bezier curves with some bevel depth. I used the draw tool to draw on the cookies. I did the same for the writings on the cake.
C. Strawberries
I've previously made strawberries for another project so I just used those but baked them to a lower poly mesh first. I used Canosie Labs' strawberry tutorial as reference :) I initially used a scaled down version of the regular-sized strawbs, but decided to make a proper mini strawberry 🍓
Left: with scaled down regular strawberries, Right: proper mini strawberries.
I made them super shiny with lots of subsurface scattering to make them look juicy and gummy-like -- not the most realistic but I think they look cuter like this :>
D. Orange slices
The orange slices were the most challenging to make! Did a lot of trial and error to get that pulpy texture oranges have but I managed using a combination of voronoi nodes :") If you look at the pictures below, you can see how the orange looked in the beginning vs. at the end after I refined it some more.
They look fine from a distance but a little janky up close; maybe I'll do a breakdown one day once I figure out a proper node setup.
Above: before & after
Left to right: rendered, colour only, B/W
E. Orange peel
A simple plane with a solidify and curve modifier. What's most important here is the texture! I used two different shaders (one for the pith another for the peel) combined using a mask.
F. Jelly beans & choco marbles
A tweaked subdivided square for the jelly beans and subdivided icosphere for the choco marbles. The two use pretty much the same shaders but the jelly beans have more subsurface scattering.
H. Cake
After placing all the toppings, I sculpted the cake (using the multires modifier) a little bit to model the cream that's displaced.

Rewatching My Love Story for like the 4th time and something I’ll forever love and appreciate is how much both Takeo and Yamato love Suna. He’s never treated as a third wheel even if he feels like it. To them, he’s a very important and essential part of their relationship. They love having him around and they know they can rely on him for anything. They love appreciating him and everything he’s done for them and god I love it so much. Suna deserves it! He’s a great friend and they both know that! It’s just so funny when he’s hauled around and is apart of dates when he doesn’t even want to be there sometimes, but you can just tell he’s happy all the same anyway because he loves his friends too.
This has been a Suna appreciation post 😌😌

I just read Ore Monogatari and can I just say that Suna is such an AroAce icon I absolutely LOVE him.
When Yukika showed up, I feel so bad but I was PRAYING for her downfall because I DID NOT want Suna to get together with anybody 😭 I'm sorry y'all but it just wouldn't feel right. Suna says he's never really had an interest in dating anyone, he's never really had those feelings, and while he says it would be nice to experience them— he's never really felt like he's missing out on anything.
A lot of people argue that his thinking of wanting to try to be in love is a sign that he's not aspec but I think saying that is dangerous for the community. Aspec individuals can also yearn for a connection, it's a matter if we can and in what way. Being connected doesn't necessarily mean "romance", Suna always makes a point that he wants to be with someone like Takeo aka his best friend who's always there for him, who he feels natural with, who he can just vibe with.
I can relate with him in that sense! I have a partner right now and we are NOT romantic in the slightest, we just want to support each other in our own endeavors and talk when we update each other on it. I think that kind of relationship suits Suna best and it's gonna take a while before he can discover that because everyone around him is very alloromantic 💀 (it kinda irked me when people kept pushing him to get a girlfriend cause haha happened to me too and it was not great)
I'm blabbing at this point but I love the idea of Suna being in a polycule with Yamato and Takeo but he's not really dating anyone, he's just there. He's a very vital key of their relationship but he's not really committed to anyone (I guess Takeo if you count being the best bro as a commitment).
