here's an old SAO fanart we commissioned from Dante two years ago.
it supposed to take place in Summer ( because that was around when we commissioned it ) but seeing it now, i think it's best put in during winter xD Kayaba and Rinko's son is around 2 years old here maybe? they live in California in this photo and baby grande is experiensing his first snow.
Guys, it is WILD to me that there are a hundred of you that are as invested in Rinko and Gojo I am. And I am SO grateful, honestly. I started posting Another Level almost exactly a month ago. And I genuinely didn't expect people to like it so much.
SO, to show my appreciation, I'm going to share what Gojo has Rinko as in his phone (since I teased it on AO3) AND a lil something extra for you guys!
Check it out below the cut! 😊
(Side Note: I'm working on a full profile for Rinko but it's proving to be more challenging than I anticipated 🙃)
Read Another Level on AO3 :)
Gojo and Rinko's contacts:
Contact Name: Rinko 😍🍑👅
Contact Photo: A picture of her smirking at him with one eyebrow raised slightly. Her eyes are bright with a bit of laughter because she was in the middle of teasing him when he told her he needed a contact photo. She smirked as she agreed and he immediately snapped the picture and said it was perfect.
He was messing with her at the time but it's actually one of his favorite pictures of her now.
Contact Name: Gojo 🙄😈💦
Contact Photo: It's the same photo he set when he added his number to her phone. He's wearing his sunglasses, which he let slide down just enough to show his eyes shining with laughter, and holding up a peace sign with a goofy grin on his face.
She's thought about changing it, but she finds it endearing how innocent the picture was compared to the name he'd originally put. She also likes that it reminds her how long they've been friends.
And now, for the lil bit extra!
Let's make an important note that EVERYONE has the same emoji for Nanami.
Rinko and Gojo DO NOT KNOW that they both have Nanami in their phone as the exact same thing.
Rinko is the ONLY ONE in Nanami's phone who has emojis because it always makes him chuckle when he sees it.
Shoko and Rinko have the same emojis for each other.

This is all I've got figured out for contacts, so I hope you guys enjoyed this lil behind the scenes look!
Thank you all again for loving Rinko and Gojo, and all the others in our Another Level universe, as much as I do 💕💕

Au where Rui and Rinko stayed in touch and through Rinko Rui also meets ako at a young age. I simply think that had the stars aligned right for Rui she and Ako could have ate dirt together. This would not fix her issues per say but it probably wouldnt have made them worse
