Tagged by @anticiajk in the ‘9 people you’d like to get to know better’ game. <3 I'll put it under read more!
1. Top 3 ships: (this is gonna be a rough one! so many! I'll just say the first ones that come to mind I guess)
1.) BingQiu & QiJiu (The Scum Villain's Self Saving System. I say both here because I can)
2.) JohnArthur (Malevolent)
3.) Chip/Gillion (JRWI Riptide Podcast) and Warren/Gordon (The Red Valley) are currently competing for my attention
But I've so many more ships in other fandoms! so yeah!! And many more in these fandom listed as well. I think Arthur is catnip for all eldritch beings and he deserves many awful boyfriends. And Warren/Bryony is an evil awful thing but oh the fucked upness of it <3
2. First ship: I can't remember the exact first ship, but the one I was most certainly the MOST passionate about at an early age was Sesshomaru/Kagome from Inuyasha. And Sasuke/Naruto.
3. Last song: "Catharsis" by Aliceband, though "Sex With a Ghost" by Teddy Hyde just came on after.
4. Last movie: the one I last saw at the cinema was "Dungeons and Dragons" but other than that I can't remember. Critical role campaign 3?? Episodes are 4 hours long.
5. Currently reading: Incredibly slowly working my way through The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MDZS). I'm on the last book though! at last! It's not bad, I'm just distracted by writing svsss fic.
6. Currently watching: does the Secret Life minecraft series count??? If not, Critical Role. I lean more towards podcasts. Currently switching between JRWI Riptide and Red Valley.
7. Currently consuming: fried rice that I made a little too spicy. oops.
8. Currently craving: energy! My fever is gone but I want energy too pls! Otherwise, a soda. I always crave soda.
I tag anyone who wants to do this, no pressure <3

be careful when you put on true sight glasses or you might see Biblically Accurate Tracy, his angel grandpa jophiel, and grandpa jo's weird celestial pet and then have your eardrums ruptured because grandpa jo doesn't want to be perceived
edit to add that jophiel's design is not my own, he's based on the character Arthur from @crimson-chains Eldritch Boyfriends comic

For the first time in a long time I went to the movies in forever and then to Target. At Target I see some Godiva bars on discount yellow tags and I was ecstatic until I read 70% Cacao, Dark, Salted Caramel and was deflated.
Anyway that's how I felt about seeing The Green Knight. What you thought this was about chocolate?
No see since the pandemic I've been back on my perennial King Arthur kick. I've for a long time since I was a young preteen thought, someday I too will write my own King Arthur epic and it'll be gay, magical, gangster and culty too, but for now I'll make up my own stories for practice and then with every story I got attached too, it got too involved and convoluted to the point that when it came down to actually writing a novel, I threw it all away and made a space opera I only planned in two weeks and wrote in a month. Anyway...so now I've been writing this very gay, magical, gangster and culty take on Final Fantasy XV with my boyfriend and just fell in love with Somnus Lucis Caelum who nobody has any insight about him than to make him the Mordred to Ardyn's Arthur, which is a strange flex, but okay, I thought about what if I wrote a Dark Age prequel about Ardyn and Somnus, but Ardyn becomes king and Somnus his shogun and they play games of seduction and power because I'm twisted like that. Anyway...I was like I'm never going to write this and I have to keep making up characters based on FFXV characters and King Arthur tropes because there's not a lot of stories that take place during the Dark Ages, it's always some Roman Empire story, or High Middle Ages and FFXV gave no room for either society to happen after the fall of Solheim and the rise of King Somnus...so we left with Dark Ages, y'all, the King Arthur comparisons are obvious, but Ardyn is no Arthur and Somnus is no Mordred, Aera is only Guenevere if you make up an affair with Somnus, Gilgamesh is no Bedwyr/Bedivere, but uh...they both amputees and the oldest companions to their respective kings so...I guess. Anyway making an ancestor of Cor Leonis and deciding well he's Owain/Yvain, or am Ignis type as idk Sir Cai/Kay I guess, they both cook, but Cai's more like Seifer Almasy than any FF character... Anyway I'm losing people.
My plan was to just scrap the FFXV prequel, leave my Somnus ideas into Overtime (a gangster and gods story) and just plan an actual King Arthur adaptation. I'd have King Arthur the treasure hunter, leader of a warband turned founder of Camelot who fights giants, giant cats and dogheads, but also fights King Claudas of the Franks and King Aelle of the Saxons and Cerdic a Briton who puts in his lot with the Saxons, etc. It'd been a a glorified turf war, meanwhile Arthur's gotta make alliances with King Pelles, The Fisher King and his strange cult he's founded because, why yes I find the ends justifies the means prophecy of the Holy Grail Quest very culty because Christianity then does not resemble it now. Meanwhile you got the secondary plots of Mordred, Gawain, Lancelot, Percival, Tristam and other's going on because they matter and too many modern King Arthur stories sideline the knights.
So many have always sidelined Mordred as a final boss eldritch abomination in mortal flesh conceived of sin and give him no personality, or complex motives, or even just a relationship with Arthur. I also have noticed the general sidelining of Lancelot, or give him a chad villain upgrade if you must include him at all, and the villainizing of Gawain to the point that you don't even have to have Mordred, or Agravain as a catalyst shit stirrer in court, just slap Gawain's name on Liam Neeson in a top knot and you're good. Mordred can just be a child offscreen until last act...fuck that, while Morgan Le Fay can either be a villainess plotting her cabal through men, or a well-intentioned, ineffectual idiot. Fuck that.
Now Hollywood just be doing King Arthur first acts that suck ass, only for said director to get rewarded failing upwards by giving this same jerk the Aladdin remake. The tonally shitty, crammed in blockbuster mess of a cliche heroe's journey that sucks.
With that background I was excited for The Green Knight. I read an illustrative version as a kid, I read Tolkien's translation as a teenager, I read Simon Armitage's superior, but with liberties taken translation. I was prepped to go knowing that indie, or not they were going to make changes to weave the disjointed poem together. I'm excited that because this movie exists Project Guternberg's finally thrown Jessie Weston's prose rendition up on their website. I'll be reading that at some point when this blows over.
The movie adaptation makes a lot of...choices, many I wouldn't love, but would forgive had their been a payoff. There was none.
The journey was fine, the cinematography was a breath of fresh air after crappy slo mo, glossy action scenes ruined another. Guys, I don't think I want to see a Zack Snyder Excalibur, it'll marginally be better than Guy Ritchie, but that ain't saying anything. Leave Excalibur to the post-Star Wars 80s where it is impeccable for it's time. I liked Green Knight's breathable pacing, it's color palette's in the forests and mountains made up for the muddy grey of every Ridley Scott send up in the castles and villages in every other Dark Ages/Medieval story in the last I don’t know since the shitty 00′s. For all the dark tones when there was blues, greens, yellows or reds, they were vibrant in this movie to contrast the gloom of Britain. The soundtrack was good. This isn't all what makes a movie, but it enhances it so let's get to the story and what I did and didn't like.
Things I Liked: Gawain is still a novice in his career The Costume Dressing Everyone pronounces Gawain's name different. I pronounce it like Gwayne, or Guh Wayne, but here you got Gowen (like Owen), Gowan (like Rowan), or even Garlon who I'm pretty sure is the Fisher King's heir in some versions of that Arthurian story, so uh... The reference to Arthur slaying 960 men with his bare hands (Nennius for the win!) The Waste Land that is implied to be a site of a battle (an important aspect of the Arthurian landscape) The Fox companion No long grisly, drawn out hunting scenes. The Fox lives! No misogynist speeches
Things I'm Mixed: This being a dream, is the magic real? Are the giants? Is the Green Knight a figment of Gawain's imagination from a spell Morgan casted in him to hallucinate? Is Lord and Lady also figments? It's...a way to interpret the poem, but lazy and I don't see why it's got to all fantasy, or all dream...this movie makes it too vague you're stuck picking one camp than to accept it's a fantasy with dream and hallucinatory sequences.
Things I'm Meh: Morgan Le Fay as Gawain's mom. Look I fucking hate Morgause as a character and these two get merged and steal each other's aspects so much at this point the difference is who did they marry, King Urien or King Lot? Both are attributed to being Mordred's mom, Mordred is Gawain's brother...both practice magic depending on certain incarnations, both love and hate Arthur their brother and are in conflict with him. Saint Winifred. I actually liked this sequence, but I don't appreciate her as the tacked on wife in the later dream sequence as like...a contrast between the wife you should marry than the whore next door you don't respect anyway? I don't even know what lesson I'm supposed to get out of the damn dream sequence, or any of it? That Gawain should've married his girlfriend and then he'd be a just ruler? That he shouldn't be king? That he'd never have to make the same heartless, impartial choices? I don't know, he seemed like a king doing king shit because guess what? It never gets easier. Wars will be waged. The world didn't become better because he married the right woman, respected her and lived in obscurity. The world didn't become better because he made her his queen. We certainly don't know the world would be better Gawain had his head chopped off and dead XP They never reveal the Lord and the Green Knight as one and the same because of this shit.
Things I Hated: Arthur withdraws from the challenge because he's old. In poem he takes it on and Gawain takes it so he don't have to and he finds himself more disposable than the king. Gawain only takes the challenge because of arrogance. Arthur and Gawain had no prior personal relationship. I'd not have hated this so much if it wasn't compounded by it cancelling out the first two things. Gawain is portrayed as having no respect for his woman, or any woman, maybe his mother? He has to be pushed by Winifred to regain her head. Gawain is portrayed as arrogant, covetous and ready to pass the buck, or the bare minimum than have any honor or decency. It didn't matter the kid in the wasteland was shithead bandit, the way Gawain acted towards him, when he gets robbed, it almost feels like he deserved it and Gawain doesn't learn a damn lesson. I'll admit him taking the sword to cut his ropes and cutting his hands was a neat sequence, it shows him go from stupid, to almost clever and having will to survive...you know traits he had in the poem, but he stops showing these traits or growing. Basically Gawain has to be dragged kicking and screaming to help people and shows no fortitude when facing temptation, or when showing respect towards others, it's exhausting. You don't make this kind of journey story without character growth. Why are you skipping this? Also is it just me, or is this like when you take Frank Miller Batman and transport him onto a Bill Finger story? This is at best Thomas Malory Gawain (and this is charitable) transported on the earlier Pearl Poet's story. Stop it. It's not tonally correct and goes at odds with the story and the set up characterization you'd need to tell it. Speaking of which, you know how I get through the oof... of Liam Neeson Gawain in Excalibur? By pretending he Agravain instead. Here...I don't even think Gawain could pass as Mordred in spite of his covetous nature, lust and entitlement. Why? because I don't think even Mordred is this dumb to warrant this hubris. Essel being invented as a tacked on love interest just to be shit on utterly and for what? I don't think I have much commentary here as there is no Essel I'm aware of to compare, or stack up. I just notice this trope of like...usually if you include a sex worker in Hollywood she often has a heart of gold, she often has her own sense of values that goes at odds with society, but is more true and less hypocritical than a privileged lady’s. I thought that's what they would've done with the added trope of back at home sweetheart to contrast and pit her against the despicable femme fatale of Lady Bertilak and her adultery and her ladyship...and I'm glad they didn't...but you did nothing with Essel than to shit on her for existing when you made her exist, you know. Lady Bertilak being portrayed as the seductress devil incarnate. Look I know adultery is a touchy taboo, but uh her and Gawain hit it off in the poem, dammit! Her values and his values come to clash, but here it's played off as Gawain is stupid and covetous and Lady Bertilak wants to prove something because...? If my brother's theory that she's a figment of Morgan Le Fay's magic, then I'll take this as a lesson of Gawain is impulsive and covetous and his mom knows it, but he don't want to fuck his mom, but he wants her power, and Morgan wants to teach him a lesson... I guess. Hey we don't have misogynist speeches in this movie, but we'll make sure to have the movie drip with it with no point, or commentary. Pass. Lord guilting, extracting and initiating the same sex kiss and only once. Poem automatically better that Gawain don't have to keep being reminded to keep his part of the bargain and he does it willingly more than once. What he doesn't do is give up his belt...gods how did we get more homophobic as a society that the homoeroticism here is worse? Catholics of the middle ages officially had no issue doing same sex, passionate kissing until it lead to sex. The Ending: The gods damn ending. In the movie as is, Gawain waits to uphold his end of the bargain and get his head chopped off. He imagines, even though we don't get any fuzzy or distortion to indicate this is a dream, but I already knew this was coming, he runs away and comes home, is regarded a hero, he sees his lady, takes her from behind and if you saw Brokeback Mountain (I didn't, but DJ has) you know this is a sign of disrespect to women. He gets her knocked up, pays her off for the kid she wants to keep, he is crowned king, marries the ghostly saint lady he helped retrieve her head earlier from a lake in the movie (this right here is the damn tip off). There's no more dialogue by this point and everything is montaging, so you know by now it's a dream, though nothing is out of focus. He rules as a heartless king, his whore son dies from war he waged, he has a daughter, his wife dies. Gawain then takes off the belt that would've saved his life and his head falls off. This would've been the one good twist, except... In this sequence of events he never had his head cut off so uh... now we back in present day. He decides not to bitch out, Green Knight in a sexy way is like "now off with your head," movie cuts to credits with no resolve...uh what the fuck? What the fuck? This is not good. You wasted the one twist in your dream when idk, you could've...
How I'd fix it: No dream sequence at all. No Incident At Owl Creek twist. Gawain comes home a hero and survivor of this game and ordeal. He wears this belt of shame. He becomes a well-renowned knight, but he bears a shame. One day he goes to take off his belt and his head falls off because he cheated to get this belt and to survive this encounter. There. Done. Improved your high concept movie that couldn't play any of the lessons straight from the damn poem without making everyone an asshole for no reason! Ugh! But nope you had to end it on we don’t know if Gawain lives or dies...because...it's dream magic made from his momma's witchcraft...?
Last Thoughts So then post-credits scene because Marvel because Pirates Of The Caribbean existed. A white girl who looks nothing like Gawain's daughter we see who didn’t pay off, or any child I can remember through this whole movie picks up King Arthur's crown that dream Gawain inherited and puts it on her head. Who is this girl? Are we gonna have an indie equivalent of of the Marvel Movie Universe/Universal Horror Monsters thing with ancient British legends? We gonna get a Life Of Saint Patrick next that crosses over? I don't know. What is this?

When designing the Eldritch boyfriends, why did you decide to give them a neck? Was it easier to figure out where the head should be or did it look off without it?
Arthur’s original design didn’t have a neck! But I wanted to draw him shirtless and it def looked not as good without a neck! XD

Hibana: "Good to see you again. _Don't hurt my Iris_." Rino: *rolls eyes, pulling Hibana back* "Just get your boyfriend some tea already." iris: *sweatdrop* right this way. Relan: *follows* "Sorry...Did I make this awkward?" iris: it's alright, you didnt do anything wrong. *she smiles* Relan: *nodded* "You're looking well, all things considered here. Your hair looks nice." iris: why thank you. i've been considering growing it out a little longer. Relan: *nods again* "It would look nice long. Have you tried that before?" *he looks through the cupboard, removing teacups* ("Oh, wow, these look nicer than I thought for the 8th.") iris: not really, but there is a first for everything, i guess. Relan: "Heh, yeah..." *he looks at the tea kettle, filling it with water* "...It's good to try new things, yeah?" *holds up teabox* "Like this? I never had this flavor." iris: ah, its quite relaxing. *she smiles* Relan: *smiles back* "I could use that. Honestly, I'm kind of nervous. You and I haven't had as much time interacting together...I mean, without Shinra." iris: *she nods* then, perhaps this is a chance to know each other more. *she smiles* Relan: "I would like that..." *sits while the water boils* "So...Um...You garden, right?" iris: *she nods* i have a lot of flowers, but also some fruit and vegetables too. Relan: "I never got to do much of that. Which kinds of fruits are you growing this season?" iris: we have some green peppers and some strawberries. we had pumpkins too. Relan: "Oh! I love strawberries." iris: *she smiles* would you like some with your tea? Relan: *nods* "You don't mind?" iris: its perfectly fine. *she goes to the fridge and pulls out the little container* how many would you like? Relan: "Two?" iris: alright then. *she puts two strawberries on the dish* here you go. Relan: *picks one up and bites lightly into it--and his eyes widen* "Wow! This is delicious!" iris: thank you. Relan: "It's very sweet. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given how sweet you have been--" *shudders* "S-Sorry. Was that weird?" iris: *chuckles* its fine relan, it was quite flattering. Relan: "...Thank you for putting up with me. I did mean that you are sweet." iris: its not a problem. i want to be there for you, both of you. Relan: *nods* "So do I...Iris? I...I haven't really been this close to a girl before." iris: *listening* Relan: "I wasn't around girls much in school...I was awkward. And I...I do think I'm gay. So I'm not sure how things will work. I...want to try." iris: i understand. and even if we dont connect romantically, i still want to be there for you. Relan: *nods* "Me, too...Um...Can I ask something else? Could we try...holding hands?" iris: oh, um...sure. *she holds his hand*.....are you alright? Relan: *nods* "Yeah...I'm sorry if my hand gets sweaty...Oh, it's getting sweaty now, isn't it?" iris: it's alright, just breathe. Relan: *deep inhale, wheezes a little, then exhales and smiles* "Th-Thanks...Your hand feels soft." iris: thank you. *she smiles* Relan: "...Do you like reading?" iris: sometimes. i do keep a few books in my room. Relan: "What do you read? Fiction?" iris: not often, usually the sol bible, and a few other short stories. Relan: "...I haven't read much of the Bible." iris: well, to each their own, i guess. Relan: "I-I would like to read more of it." iris: are you sure? -elsewhere- Wes: "Thanks for coming with me, Soul. I needed your help with this." soul: hey, its not a problem. Wes: "Good. Ah, here it is!" *it's a jewelry store* soul: *he nods* Wes: *pointing at the display* "Maybe something like that? Would a silver band work?" soul: perhaps. but you know how liz loves glitzy stuff. Wes: "Yeah, definitely for a Christmas gift. But would you say the same if this was to give her something...a little more permanent?" soul: ??.....*points to one* how about that one? Wes: "Oh, that looks good! And Liz likes that kind of a stone..." *looks at Soul's fingers* soul:...what? Wes: "I think I need to see what this ring looks like on an actual finger." soul: they have mannequins....they’re really handy. Wes: "...Ha! Okay..." *looks at one mannequin, calls to shopowner* "I'd like to see this band on a manne-hand, please." -elsewhere- Shotaro: *tossed into a building's wall by a supervillain, collapsing onto the street* mana: *charges at them* HYA!

Izuku: *nods* "But for how long? Someone with that power, just seems kind of violent..." Bakugo: "AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH SOMEONE WHO IS POWERFUL AND PRONE TO VIOLENCE?" Izuku: Q___Q itsuka: easy there katsuki. Bakugo: -\\\\- *small purr* "Okay." itsuka: *she smiles* eijiro: TTwTT Izuku: "???" Bakugo: "So, you just going to whine, or are you planning on beating the tar out of this Fire Gangster?" -elsewhere- Akitaru: "Well, getting late now." shinra: *he nods* Benimaru: *looks at the buildings...then at Shinra* "Hmph. Progress." shinra: thank you sir! Benimaru: "Stop shouting--your voice is too loud." shinra: *AHEM* .////.; Akitaru: *small chuckle* Tsukiyo: *pouts* "Benimaru likes the 8th already? He still gets pissy at me..." fang-hua:...*small smile* Benimaru: "Well, clear out. I don't want to see you here until tomorrow." Akitaru: *smirk, salutes* Konro: *standing again, smiles at Benimaru* shinra: *looks at akitaru* so now what? Akitaru: "We got the night off, so I suggest a meal to celebrate and then a lot of sleep, since we'll have more repairs tomorrow--" Benimaru: "Tomorrow. Not earlier than that." Akitaru: "...Fang-Hua? Care to join us for a meal?" fang-hua: *she looks at benimaru* Benimaru: "Very well. Take the night off, Kohana." fang-hua: *sweatdrop* yes sir. come on guys, i can show you some of the best restaurants in town. Tsukiyo: "Fu fu fu...'Kohana'..." Arthur: "???" fang-hua: *tugs her ear* come on... -///-; Tsukiyo: Q___Q "Owie..." Arthur: "..." *smiles at Tamaki* "Hungry?" tamaki: sure. Arthur: "Same..." *walks with her* Akitaru: "What would you recommend, Fang-Hua?" -and so- shinra: *nom nom* this is really good! Tsukiyo: *trying to sneak a bit of food off Shinra's plate* fang-hua: you have enough food on your own plate, tsukiyo. Tsukiyo: "Maybe I just wanted an inadvertent kiss by sampling from Shinra's plate~" fang-hua: *chop* no. -_-; shinra: IMINARELATIONSHIP! tamaki: does she _ever_ turn off? -_-; Tsukiyo: *rubbing her head, pouting* "I'm always turned _on_, thanks. You could learn that if you and Ar--" -CHOP- fang-hua: behave... -_-; fang-hua: *sigh* im really sorry about my friend here... Tsukiyo: *face buried in food on her plate, muffled grunt* Kid: Arthur: "It's okay...So, Fang-Hua, why did the Commander call you 'Kohana'?" fang-hua: *almost chokes* well, a-as you can see, commander shinmon is very traditional to his culture. and seeing as my name, 'Fang-Hua' translates to 'Fragrant Blossom', its kind of a translation thing, kind of like the japanese translation of 'journey to the west' where the character 'Sun Wukong' was named 'Son Goku'. maki: i could make a joke about that, but it would be kind of obvious, so i wont. Arthur: " 'Fragrant Blossom'...That's quite a nickname. It's cute." fang-hua: *awkward blush* tamaki: its fitting i guess. Arthur: *smiles at Tamaki* "Kind of like 'kitten'?" tamaki: do you want to get slapped? >////< maki: so you and benimaru are a thing then? fang-hua: O/////O n-no! that's not how it is at all! maki: suuuuure. misora: it better not be! *glare+pout* Arthur: *small smirk at Tamaki* Akitaru: *has a third helping of noodles* "Good food here. Shinra, eat up--you need some more muscle!" shinra: *nom nom* Arthur: "Tamaki, want to try some of my unagi?" -elsewhere- Relan: *bows* "Thank you for the tea." iris: *she smiles* anytime, relan. be sure to get back safely, ok? Relan: *nods* "I will message when I return home..." *awkward pause...then an awkward hug* iris:.....*hug* take care of yourself, ok? Relan: *nods* "Thank you..." *pulls back, smiles* -at gallows manor- stocking: does it feel good kid? Kid: *panting* "Oh, God, that hurts so good..." stocking: *she thrusts slowly, rubbing his thighs* Kid: *squirms under the touch on his thighs* "A-ah~" *whimpers a bit* "Fuck..." stocking: hehe~ you're adorable. *thrusting slowly* Kid: *pants, moaning* "So good...Ah!" stocking: mmmn....god, you have the hottest moans.... *picking up pace* Kid: *matches her pace, trying to hold onto the bedsheets, pants* "Fuck me..." stocking: *kissing his neck and chest, digging her nails into his hips as she pumps into him* Kid: "AHHH! Fuck..." *grinding along the mattress, so close...* stocking: good boy~ *rubbing him off* Kid: *squirms, pants, and then* "Ahh..." *he ejaculates* stocking: ahhh~! Kid: *panting, cumming* "Ah...M-Messy..." stocking: want me to clean you~? Kid: *shy nod* stocking: *lick lick* Kid: *moans* "That's so good...Oh, Stocking..." stocking: *lick lick* you like that~? Kid: *nods* "I love you...I love you so much with me..." stocking: hehe~ *kiss* Kid: "Sh-Should...Should I repay you?" stocking: if you want~ -elsewhere- *Shinra's phone rings with a text alert* shinra: *picks up his phone* Relan: [text: how's work been today?] shinra: [busy, but we're making progress here.] Relan: [i knew you would. :) had tea with iris. we miss you] shinra: *smiles* [glad you're getting along ^^ i miss you too, both of you.] Relan: [sweet dreams! text us tomorrow. love u] shinra: [love you too *kissy emoticon*] Relan: -\\\\\- Arthur: "You done texting your boyfriend and girlfriend?" shinra: are _you_? Arthur: "I don't have a boyfriend..." *looks away* shinra: im just teasing, come on. *pat pat* Arthur: *small pout* "You never thanked me..." shinra: for what? *confused* Arthur: "For letting you and Relan hook up and get your relationship upgrade with Iris." shinra: oh...um, thanks...*pat pat* Arthur: *nods* "Good. Now you can help me with my date with Tamaki." shinra: O-o Kid: Arthur: "When this mission is over, I want to ask her out. And I cannot have anything go wrong." shinra:....ok. Arthur: *hugs Shinra* "Thank you!" shinra: o-o; maki: you ok-.........*watches* shinra: THATS NOT HOW IT IS MAKI!

Hi, I drew my oc for EB but I don't know how to tag you & kaizuart. I'm just letting you know. You guys brought inspiration in creating my own EB oc. It may not be digital art, but I put the my effort in creating this one. I will give you permission as well to draw my oc like a guest in your mini comics of Arthur & Damien. I'd like to see my oc drawn in your style as well. I hope I'm not asking to much. Pls look up on my tumblr in regards to my EB oc. Thank you!
AWWW, WHAT A CUTE OC!!!!
I’m so thrilled that you enjoyed the Eldritch Boyfriends enough to want to make an OC in the universe!!! OWO
I don’t know if I’ll be putting him into future comics, but, thank you for the permission and I think he has such a cool design!!!
