Reigen being a twink but like against his will is that anything

[ID: A Mob Psycho 100 comic that starts with a young Reigen who's sitting on the edge of a bathtub, wearing a bra and grinning with excitement as he does a T shot. He thinks, "I'm gonna look so cool after I'm on T for a while hehehe" and imagines a "hypothetical future reigen" who is hairy, bearded, and chubby.

Next, captioned "eight years later:" An adult Reigen with top surgery scars and a small belly paunch but little visible hair except slight stubble, thinks, "DAMN." An imaginary Reigen sits down and puts his head in his hands in despair.

After that, a freshly-hired Serizawa with stubble looks very nervous as Reigen glares at him in the background. Serizawa sweats, "i know its unprofessional but its not like I don't shave every morning... how can i help a five o'clock shadow??? is is he still staring?? help help h". Reigen is captioned "(seething with jealousy)".

Finally, captioned "(onsen ova)", we see a shirtless Serizawa with curly chest hair. He blushes and thinks, "is he still looking...omg is he checking me out??? maybe??? he is gay right???" In the backgrund. Reigen is also shirtless, and he's shaking with rage as he grips a towel very tightly and thinks, "his back has more hair than my entire body i have to kill him." End ID]

can you spill more abt that self insert of yours? 👁️👁️

Oh boy oh boy can I? (big yapping incoming) (typo and grammar massaccare of 2024)

He is a self insert OC Assassin from the Ottoman brotherhood (bc Im Turkish) and he is 23 (bc I am)

not a secret mentor or anything lol I was just joking in the first post making a mary sue.

I imagine he is similar or one above than whatever Yusuf’s rank is (I have yet to play Revelations :,p ) tho I do not know what time he should be in, Realistically if no time travel happened he would be in same time as Yusuf but I dont want Gilf Ezio (sorry) but if its Ezio, Alt and Desmon togather timeline probobly he is in around AC2 Brotherhood time. (maybe he came by Italy to do a mission and dropped by the hideout)

He is ethnically Balkan or/and Greek (bc I am) which probobly means he was taken to Constantinople as a teen or kid to eighter be sent to Jenniserrie training or the male-harem.

Small history lesson:

- Devşirme was the name of the practice where Ottoman empire basically enslaved young Greek,Balkan,Ukranian,etc etc boys and inserted them into an Elite military (Janniserries) even the Sultans themselves were scared of bc they were known to start coups and kill Sultans(they got a salary and are socially above the commonfolk but… military slaves non the less)

-Male-harems existed, again Balkan, Romanian, Slavic and greek etc people were often the main people in the harems (fun fact nearly no Sultan is Turkish due to this lmao they are all mixed), once again their status were above the common folk and they were well taken care of (the older males could even become gov officals after) but slavery non the less.

Idk if I want him to escape the harem or Jenniserrie for his edgy backgrund but maybe he did few years of training, cought the eye of the Sultan and escaped the moment someone was like “you have been promoted to an elite employeeee, u won harem lotterry” . Probobly wandered the streets a bit, got into hella fights till an Assassin picked him up escaping a group of soliders. Maybe it was an older dude who saw him when they were both in training

He is basically based off my own ethnicity and its context to the time and sociatal goings of that era lol (which was hella gay… very gay… too gay almost)

He probobly has some traditional slavic leg,hand and arm tattoos (bc I have em but also) mostly bc around those times (nearly always women) used to tattoo themselves in those motifs to remember their christian roots and their culture (that Ottoman tried to erease) and also to make themselves less appealing to Ottoman Harem/ Devşirme recuiters :,D

For his name, Maybe to be on the nose… Adem? (Turkish ver of Adam) so he is tied to the apples in a fun way? Or Poyraz (means a northern wind) since the meaning is similar to my own name?

He doesnt grow much facial hair (bc I am also stuck w a weak beard) but he refuses to get rid of it no matter how much others tease him bc he is like “I aint getting courted by random crazy men ew” (I dont irl also bc I desperetly believe it looks good…I refuse to open my eyes)

History lesson 2:

-facial hair was important in Ottoman times, It LİTTERALLY determined your gender and how you were approached.

-Socially and in Litriture Ottoman almost had 3 gender roles; Men, Boys (Oğlan) and Women. Once a man grew a beard he would “transition” from being a boy.

-Romantically having a beard versus not determined if you were to be courted or court. Bearded man were called “Lovers” while NON-bearded were called “Beloveds” (yes more often the boys were underage :/ for the sake of history lesson lets…. try to ignore that like ancient greeks)

there is many gay ass poems ^

He got all the mentall illness coctails that I got bc why not make it worse fr him. I imagine him sarcastic and catty, Claudia prob loves taking him to shop around bc he always got something to fckn say about everyone. Big gossipper. Hides the fact that he hates being as short as he is very well (im like… 165? 5’5-4?). If in Yusuf time, nearly BFFS (if im not inserting myself into the throuple (bc Its my self insert and I CAN BE AS CRINGY AS I WANT) he would end up w Yusuf)

Him about others:

Ezio: will never stop calling him de la la la,likes him a lot, loves pranking and teasing him. Enjoys fake flirting with him till he takes it so far Ezio has to throw in the towel. Probobly teached him how to Oil wrestle and Ezio was like “Are you sure this is a real sport…” and all he did was sigh and say “I am so glad it actually is” as he admired Oiled up Ezio

Altaïr: loves mocking whatever big words he uses all the time. calls him “Big boss” just to see his eye twitch with cringe. Knows he can get away with shit if he acts stupid enough. Altair knows he is not that stupid but is impressed(deragotory, fondly) how low he is willing to go.

Desmond: clearly his favorite (im biased sue me) obvious by how much softer he acts around Des. Ezİo falls he laughs, Des falls “My leige, hop on my back”. Is facinated by his piercings and begs him to help him get some. Desmond desperetly wishes he could invent some ADHD Meds for him. Des also finds him strangely comforting, can imagine himself back in 2010s almost…

————-

Idk im not rlly a self insert person so thinking about him was hard and I also dont wanna make my oc “the main character” in this au so I dont really wanna give him any secret powers or anything.

Maybe some edgy gnarly scars on his back from a past mission where he came in contact with an apple? Maybe when he touched the apple he was supplied that canonly he doesnt exist and he is just a fan created being and has a whole issue about it? I can imagine a sad scene of him crying like “You dont understand, You exist! even as some damn video game you do and people know you they cannot deny you exist. ME? all I am is some weirdos self writing, not even enough to be in canon. Does anything I do matter?” lololol

Thats all I got for him for now lol but feel free to ask more:p Im also open to ideas for him.

sorry for the yapping and history lesson… here is some more fun facts:

-Oğlancılık (male prostitution) was pretty respected they were seen like any other tradesperson in some parts

-a Paşa tried to ban under 30 males from being washers in Turkish Hamams due to them also being sex workers and litterally everyone was so mad he got replaced

-dancers in coffeehouses wore the same fit no matter the gender so boys and girls looked the same (once again they were also sex workers)

-one time a jewish boy caused such a big fight between janniserries the sultan had to threathen to kill 40 man from each side if they didnt stop

-Draculas are real people and RADU the beutyfull (his OFFİCİAL NAME) had a full on recorded relationship with Sultan Mehmet2 :p

- Gay shit was legalized in 1853 mostly bc they never rlly punished it….

for the girlies

-in harems the girls couldnt order things like cucumbers or carrots to their rooms w out it being cut up :p

[Tsukasa closed his restaurant earlier than usual, which he excuses it as a family emergency. In reality, though, he just got it closed so the mafia members could have their own meeting in there. Not that he wants any part in it. Why else is he outside?]

[It takes Tsukasa a while to realize he almost passes by Rui's shop. He steps a bit closer, trying to look into the window. No sign of Rui... Probably.]

… Hm…

[Tsukasa moves his gaze to the flowers. He already thought they were beautiful, but another thing he should've noticed earlier was how calming it was to simply admire them. Here, it's harder to think about everything troubling him when he has these flowers right in front of him.]

[… He hasn't felt peace in a long time, has he?]

-@chef-kasa-official

(*rui was trying to have a quiet day in the shop after everything that happened yesterday- lest he worries akito even more than he already was.

that plan to be quiet and blend into the backgrund of his store failed when the noticed tsukasa outside the shop staring at the flowers with a bittersweet expression.

it'd be better to pretend he hadn't noticed him, but.. something still didn't sit right with him, so he got up to greet the blonde instead. act natural.*)

tsukasa? what brings you back so soon~?

hi hi first of all I wanna say that i absolutely adore your icons! thank you som much for making them! i was going to ask how you make them if you don't mind? i wish you have an amazng day! <3

Hey Nonnie, thank you so much, I'm very happy you like them! 🥰 I wish I was eloquent enough for a proper tutorial, but I'm gonna try it for you 😌

If I don't make sense, there are a lot of helpful tuts around tumblr, here are some of them: x x x x 😅

Assuming that you know your way around the basic Photoshop tools, let me sum up in a nutshell what my process is:

REMOVING THE BACKGROUND

I usually get a picture or grab a screencap with a good enough quality, open it in Photoshop, and based on its complexity I select the object with my Pen tool, brush tool (on a layer mask), or some combinations of these with other selection tools (magic wand/quick selection tool) - most of the times it is a combination of all of the above. 😅 (watch this tutorial if you want to cut out a subject that is a more difficult shape e.g. messy hair, but there is a contrast between the subject and the background)

I don't erase the background: I cut the object using the layer mask, in case I need to add/get rid of some pixels after colouring and resizing the picture, and it’s also a tremendous help when I use different tools to remove the backgrund.

2. COLOURING

When I have my subject cut out, I create a new file in 150x150px, drag and drop the subject's layer and resize it with the Ctrl+T just to have the freedom to decide which parts to be included in the icon or in case I want more versions of the same picture, just like here (also don’t forget to delete the background by double clicking on it >> Enter >> Del) :

This is when I add/remove pixels on the layer mask if needed, and use some basic colouring on the picture, the layers added as a clipping mask so it will only affect the layer of the subject.

3. ADDING THE BACKGROUND + MORE COLOURING

Then I add some gradient and texture layers below my subject's layer, and in the blending options I add some drop shadow to my subject's layer. (If you're aiming for a more complex icon, there are icon textures around the internet too, here is one.)

To make the picture blend into the background more smoothly I usually add some adjustment layers as a clipping mask to the subject's layer to adjust the colours more to the background, and/or add some more adjustment layers on the top of all the layers (not as a clipping mask) that will affect the background and the subject as well.

+1 CHANGING THE COLOURS

If I want to blend my subject's clothes more with the background, I add a Solid color layer as a clipping mask somewhere over my subject's layer, using the Eyedropper tool I choose a colour from the background (or something around it), I set the mode to Colour, with the layer mask I remove everything I don’t want to colour, and if needed, I add another layer with Soft Light or another mode that works with my picture.

That's how I changed Javi's originally orange shirt for this set:

Sometimes I add a bit of a smart sharpen on my subject's layer with some fading, so it's not that aggressive, then I save the icon in a PNG format.

Hopefully the tuts and my description could help you a bit, but let me know if you need some more help with any of these steps... if anything, I can help you find a nice tutorial 😅

Fourth World ask: 8 and 27?

8. Have you made any fanart or written any fanfiction?

[Image ID: Three zoomed out screenshots of my art blog "Fourth World" tag.]

SELF PROMO TIME

i invite everyone to look at my FOURTH WORLD ART TAG!!! (chrono link) i hope to draw more forever people and mister miracle next year lol AND FASTBAK

[Image ID: A pic of Orion leaping in the air against a light brown backgrund. He's saying, "Reblogs help!"]

i do write fanfic but i have a REALLY hard time sharing it... like 3 ppl on earth have seen snippets of it

27. Favorite relationship, platonic, romantic or familial?

ORION AND LIGHTRAY... OUGH... i am deeply deeply invested in their canon platonic relationship but i find it quite romantic...... only twice in my life have i ever truly and really thought my ship being canon would make for a good story and orion & ligthray is one of them. though my timeline for them is waaaaaay longer than anything dc would bother with. but honestly i would take just a comic addressing their friendship in a meaningful way and not just like. lightray teasing orion or lightray being like uwaaaugh orion im dying or like whatever trash tommy k wrote with the "hes my saviour" bullshit. id like to see LR's undying dedication (NOT subservience) to orion and orions um well whatever he brings to the table here for LR (joke)
