Smashing two separate aus together to reach terminal velocity for fun and profit on accounts that
1) Gigai should lean into the being fake bodies bit, I think. Have people with spiritual pressure Notice that shinigami are Not Human actually bc something about them is. Off. They don't blink. They don't breathe. etcetc
Or. They should have leaned into the half-human angle for the Kurosaki kids more. Ichigo was already bullied for being a redhead just. Add a little spice and have them set off some kinds of alarm in the back of most people's heads. Let them be half actually physical and half made up spirit particles only you know, nobody told them ever. (And yes ik it is A Major Plot Point that Ichigo was alive and even got his whole soul chain cut but! I posit mind over matter. Nobody told his ass he could Danny Phantom it up (well. nobody actually knew they could do that tbf but also nobody ever hit him with the oh yeah your dad was never alive in the first place) and so well. Good luck with the Shattered Shaft I'm-definitely-not-hollowfying-you-on-purpose Ichigo! He figures it out. At some point. Eventually)
and
2) I do Not claim the aftermath of the Winter War/timeskip/Lost Agent Arc okay. Power loss arcs/storylines squick me out, okay! They're just. Sad. And I hate 'em. So a 'fix-it', the basis being that even if the Old Man and White Zangetsu were fused, it was the Old Man acting as 'Zangetsu' when Ichigo used the Final Getsuga Tensho, so the backlash went a little. Funky. (Bc yes i go with the theory that the Final Getsuga is a shinigami/Shiba thing not a bastardized Vollstandig and that mattered) so instead of losing his powers, Ichigo's soul started to destabilize (which yeah, did affect his power levels, but more on the his reiatsu is back to where it was before the Dangai instead of. Well. Everything) which to be fair was Very Bad and potentially fatal in the moment, so he had to be placed back in his body and was medically forbidden to leave it until his soul healed (which. for the purpose of the fused au is also how Ichigo figured out about the able to turn into a ghost on command thing-the combination of being forced to transmit spiritual energy through his physical body while he was healing+learning that his goddamn old man was. a shinigami actually shifted his worldview enough that when he was okayed to leave his body he just. Transformed instead). Alas, on account of his soul barely holding together with spit and determination and the teensy little detail of him being part-Hollow (and actual-Zangetsu being the only one awake to frantically try damage control) meant that some wires got crossed as his soul was healing itself, and well, instead of re-solidifying in it's previous state some elements from (both of) his Hollow form(s) filtered in accidentally to his new base state. Which. Yk. Is a super fun thing to find out and absolutely not at all horrifying to learn to live with.

usually I just do thumbnails in a sketchbook, like real rough shit and then I take a quick picture and set it in a digital canvas and jump to drawing, but lately I've been going 'nah, we gotta go a little bit further. let's do some real inking, as a treat,' since I've been doing some Real Inking in my sketchbook and want to see if I can emulate it digitally
however I found a perfect tiny sketchbook that is a reduced size for the digital comic canvas I use, so we're like. drawing real backgrounds. laying out the dialogue placement. thinking about scene props. drawing. fucking stairs. going outside and taking reference photos of stuff. augh.

I'm making peace with the fact that I might never have a career in art. Even if illustration is the thing I'm most passionate about, I know my art style isn't very commercial, I seem to lack the discipline to build a good portfolio, I struggle way too much with networking and reaching out and there's the geography factor where every opportunity that I might be a good fit for seems to be an ocean and couple thousand dollars away 🤷🏽♂️
And honestly? fuck that, I'm enjoying the way my art is evolving and I think I'll be fine just doing it at my own pace. If a opportunity does come up -but it won't cuz I'm not actively pursuing it- I will definitely make the most of it but for the time being I'll stick to drawing the fictional lil guys that take up my headspace in my free time

for two gay men, they sure are homophobic (the homophobia is subjecting me to this)
Attempt at an Image Description:
A screenshot of a youtube video paused at 20:22/28:26. Three sims are on screen. One in a rainbow and white suit is in the background blurry. One is wearing a purple suit, the other is wearing a pink suit with hearts. All three sims are stood around a wedding arch covered in flowers. In the upper right hand corner are Dan and Phil. Dan is wearing a silver glitter suit with a bowtie. Phil is wearing a navy blue suit with a leather tie (dan's leather tie?)
