Wuaaaahhh finally done with the last 3, which means I'm done with them all!! aaaaaaghhh never again (but I am, in fact, lying)
but yea, here's thems alls, on the right we got bloodied versions cuz we edgy in this household (hhh these could maybe work better as 2-sided charms than stickers but äeyghhh I'll mull over that once I'm actually getting shit made)
Reasons why your yuri ship could get gay married despite Japan not having gay marriage (I'm leaving out stuff that's not set in modern Japan):
Haruka Tenoh/Michiru Kaioh: Haruka is DMAB and genderfluid, she never got it changed in the family register because she spends enough time as a boy that it wasn't worth the effort
Sorawo Kamikoshi/Toriko Nishina: they just go to Canada to get married
Nagisa Misumi/Honoka Yukishiro: Too Iconic
Akira Kenjou/Yukari Kotozume: mistook Akira for a boy again
Popuko/Pipimi: nobody wanted to tell them no after what happened last time someone tried to stop them.
Would love to explore some more shu/ake dynamics bc theyre both so interesting to me. Interesting as in they would not be in a traditional relationship; theyd be so incredibly dysfunctional it would genuinely get either of them killed if they were to attempt something prior to the end of base game. Goro is angry and volatile and full of self righteousness, but he is incredibly depressed and miserable and full of self loathing. Hes someone who has been alone for most of his life, and has an incredibly complex relationship with his public facing persona and his goals; he is not ready for someone who will make him challenge his worldview at every chance they can. He refuses to be patronized but he needs someone who will be gentle and understanding. And hell never get that in a normal way bc he views someone being gentle with him as patronizing 😭
So he needs someone who will actively call him out on his bullshit, on his self loathing, and his attitude. But he also needs someone who will be patient with him and remind him that he IS worth something, that hes NOT a failure (hello??? ‘Im…special?’’youre more than special dude’ it was so easy for the thieves to get to him by just validating the work he did, and the trouble hes caused them lol). Akira CAN do this, but i think, w the way ive characterized him, he is just as angry and volatile as Goro, and he wouldnt know how to diffuse their arguments in a productive way. It would be catastrophic as Akira tries to show that he fucking CARES, and goes blind w rage as Goro consistently taunts and defies him and ignores his logic. And Goro would spiral trying to rationalize Akiras behavior as anything other than Good; the assumption that he must be lying and trying to manipulate him would eat at him until hes forced to storm out.
Anyway. All of this to say that shu/ake TO ME is “akira and ryuji are dating, and sometimes goro is there in the background looking like this 👇🏾”
Okay, I will actually post drawings after this don't worry. Just doing some sillies on the side ^^
(yes the camera I chose doesn't align with the motion 100% but my computer was very warm at this time)

[ID: MikuMikuDance video of the Persona 5 Protagonist and Ryuji Sakamoto dancing to the choreography of 'Cendrillion' by Signal-P on the same stage of the project diva video. The P5 protag, as Miku, is in his casual summer outfit until the final chorus, while Ryuji, as Kaito, is in his Skull outfit the entire video. At the final chorus, it cuts to the P5 protagonist wearing his Joker costume while a silhouetted audience suddenly appears for, both of which stay til the end of the choreography. When it's over, the video fades into a freeze frame of Ryuji reaching out to P5 Protag earlier in the video, captioned "Holy shit, I finally exported this MMD properly" in all caps. /end ID]

“what do u think they’re naming those kids” wait what if they pull a true schumacher and name their kid jack ASKFHAK ofc that kid’s going to have 4 middle names and a hyphenated last name like estie (sewis have a massive spreadsheet and an entire notebook full of names and notes. they are trying to be modern and unique but also traditional. it is exhausting but they are having sm fun)
oh my god i'm laughing so hard at the poor estemick child lmao and it's even funnier if they decide not to go into any motorsports field at all as an adult. just some guy (gn) working a 9 to 5, casually carrying the names of motorsports royalty
meanwhile sewis child is a menace. ofc. look who the parents are. lewis has to be talked out of naming it something ridiculous. then seb has to be talked out of naming it after old wdcs. it's a mess tbh
Dragon Ball, like for many, was a big influence on me and my family, I remember waking up early on Saturday’s with my siblings to watch Dragon Ball Z Kai, or my brother replaying the Super saiyan 3 Transformation Thats now been engraved into my brain cells. So to hear Toriyama pass away was such a heartbreak, he created so many amazing worlds for us to explore, and was a genuinely funny guy as well! I hope that All his work is shown for many generations to come and know how amazing his art was. Rest well, Toriyama <3
Here’s the launch sketch separately since I’m super proud of it!
