For the fandom ask, what’s your least favorite cannon thing about Atom?

Oh that's an interesting one, I think I never felt negative feelings abt the little guy before KJSJKSKJ genuinely love pretty much everything abt his character from the versions I've wacthed

Ok, this is very specific, but I kinda hate that episode in 2003 where there's a robot girl (Emily, I think) who wants to turn into a warrior to save her parents and Astro is all "no, she can't do it, she's just a girl!!"

And like, I GET it, I do understand that he hates fighting and will place all that burden on himself if needed. I love that abt him. But I kiiinda felt that the episode (and Astro by proxy) was leaning on the fact that Emily shouldn't fight because she's a girl?? not in the sense of being young, but being a woman?

Maybe I misintrerpreted it or something was lost in the subtitling process but as it stands, that was the moment I disliked Astro the most. Come on my guy. Tho I don't think abt it a lot bc I blame more the general writing than his character

5, 9, 20 and 25 for Grimmer and (Umataro) Tenma! ^_^

(I love the need to specify the Tenma that comes with liking Monster and Astro Boy KJSJKSJK)

Grimmer:

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Hmmm I had to think a bit since I didn't have any song associated to him already - but I think Lysergide Daydream by Will Wood REALLY fits him!

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Oh he seems like a lovely roomate! I'm very talkative and I like to hears other talk as well so I think we could get along!

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

I think I'll go with Tenma here. They seem like they would be very comfortable around each other, with Grimmer filling the silence and Tenma hearing him talk, and Tenma having the sensibility necessary to help Grimmer better understand his emotions. I do ship those men and I think they'd grow a strong friendship before start dating!

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Started Monster hyped to see him because of you. When he showed up, I was like 🥺🥺🥺🥺 this for the whole episode, seeing him being so kind and gentle and nice. Now... oh I still think he's so kind and gentle and nice, even moreso because of how that kindness had to grow from rocks and dried land. He's SUCH and interesting character, my favorite character in Monster, and I want only the best for him.

(Umataro) Tenma:

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Bro tbh I think all of Will Wood's discography fits him perfectly 💀 but the first that comes to mind is Against the Kitchen Floor, especially in a post-2003 sense Bonus: Science Ashbury Heights and you're to blame. That song fits him PERFECTLY. Bonus bonus: Phantasmagoria Ashbury Heights, I think it resonates a lot with his phase of grieving for Tobio and regretting creating Astro

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

I believe we would murder each other. And I will refrain from any comments that might suggest I'm extremely attracted to this man

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

This would be easier to answer if that wreck of a man didn't hate everyone but hmm. I think he could have a really strong relationship to Shadow, since Shadow quite literally knows him from the inside out. He has nothing to hide, so he can just be honest and open to him. And since he's changing for the better, I think Shadow would be willing to listen. I can see them making projects together and studying the heart of humans and robots, sharing their perspectives as such. And maybe Shadow could open up to him too as he developed his own sense of self but Tenma is still his blueprint. ...Wow, now I want to write about these two. Anyway, I think Tenma's closest friend since forever was always Ochan but since they're also dating I wanted to answer with someone else.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Now that's a funny one, bc I spent 49 episodes of 2003 strictly thinking "oh he's a great antagonist, I can definitely see him having some sort of redemption but I don't think he'll ever go back to Astro and Ochan's life." Then episode 50 happenned and boom. Now I want him to have a 200k words redemption arc actually. Everyone needs to be a happy family. Like I FELT the clown makeup materializing in my face but what can I do man. That hug destroyed me

astro boy + 14 for the ask game!

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Ooooh that's a fun one! I think as Astro starts to wear clothes more often, he would be into pastel and cutesy aesthetics. Soft colors, floral themes, shirts with cute cats and teddy bears, maybe a ribbon sometimes, but nothing too extravagant. I also think he'd like to wear skirts and dresses! (and he keeps his boots like 90% of the time along with the clear colors.) But I think he'd like fall colors and flanels, too.

On a side note, I can see Uran going the exact opposite route, never wearing skirts and having an intense goth phase that may or may not last forever

Oh my gosh. So I’ve been loving your astro boy and monster art so much… and I was randomly going through some old liked youtube videos tonight. And I stumbled on a professor layton AU animatic that I loved when it was uploaded like 3 years ago… and I realized the uploader was you! I just thought that was an awesome coincidence and I wanted to compliment your work! ❤️

aaaaaaa thank you!!!!! That animatic was probably my biggest visual arts project to this day and it makes me happy that people still appear here to talk about it sometimes! thanks for the ask my friend :,D

So uh! Headcanon that after 🌸the incident🌸, Grimmer got scared of cutting his own nails. His hands start to shake and he ends up letting them grow uncomfortably long and at the risk of breaking.

So Tenma offers to do it for him for as long as he needs, carefully and using little scissors instead of a nail cutter.

(Haven't finished the anime yet so I don't know if Grimmer has any trauma relating to this in canon but anyways)

#first time drawing these guys so I hope they're recognizable sjksjkkjs #heavens I'm shipping these two so much #they help each other through The Horrors #naoki urusawa's monster #guriten #kenzo tenma #wolfgang grimmer

…It would be a while before he could fully re-introduce himself to the world that was being built around him. A world built by Ochanomizu and Atom. However loudly the robot-fearing minority might bark, they couldn't hold a candle to the bright future those two promised.

-> Fanart for @good-wine-and-cheese 's AMAZING fic, The Indomitable Human Soul! I love this paragraph and how it captures Tenma's silent admiration for Ochanomizu and Astro!

Ok sooo Astro boy Phantom of the Opera (kinda) au ✨

SO. Since 03 Tenma pretty much IS the Phantom (and I started shipping the old men real bad) I started cooking this

The story is that Ochan is a medic and Tenma a cientist. They're old friends, but then Tobio dies (as he does) and Tenma isolates himself and makes a pact (with a demon or spirit ig?) to trade half of his soul to bring his son back (which leaves some scars or stuff hence the mask)

The half soul is used to make a new soul for Tobio's body, restored with mechanical prosthetics by his father. But the new soul isn't Tobio. It's a new life, a new person, who just carries his memories. Tenma acts overprotective and possessive of him, hiding them from the world, so the kid eventually runs away and finds Ochanomizu, seeking help. Ochan names him "Astro" since he loves the sky and stars so much and cares for the kid.

Anyway cut to Ochan spending like 80k words knocking some sense on his problematic boyfriend's head, Tenma ruins everything then learns to value his son's life etc etc and I hope they all become a happy family the end

#god I MISSED being cringe!!!!#was taking care of some stuff this week so I couldn't draw my silly little drawings #astro boy au #astro boy fanart #tetsuwan atom #umataro tenma #hiroshi ochanomizu #hirouma
