i really like when they adapt a series in a way that suits the new medium + provides alternate but harmonious development to the original series. adaptations don’t need to be 100% faithful to the original storyline as long as they remains faithful to the original themes and purposes
i went out the other day and ran across some nice dresses so ofc i had to draw @sunnyys-jarss's roommate au boys in them! (If you haven't checked out their au, do so, they've got a fun blog at @ask-the-atwr-au!) Forgive me for the poor form of dresses and poses; I'm not very used to drawing people in formal clothing, so this was good practice!
I LOVE the scene where Sevika reassures Silco that Jinx would come around eventually.
It’s the first time we see Sevika show a softer emotion (which really humanizes her), and I think this interaction really sheds a lot more light on her relationship with Silco. Namely, that it’s not strictly business.
car seat headrest concert footage is fun to watch because there will be several minutes of just wordless wailing and guitar distortion and the audience will be a pretty even split of people losing their absolute shit to it and people who are clearly you know. they’ve heard music before and they’re not entirely sure that’s what’s happening right now
Speaking of nasty Steve... him believing "men don't cry" and the first time Billy cries around him he doesn't respond all too well?
um yes ??!!
“jesus.” billy sniffs. glares at him. “you’re such a fucking asshole.”
“yeah.” steve looks at him. watches a tear fall. can feel the words on the tip of his tongue. can’t do anything to stop them. his mouth curls up into a sneer. “and you’re such a fucking girl sometimes, billy.”
and billy just. freezes. his eyes snap down. avoiding steve’s.
“get out.”
steve feels his own chest pull tight.
“c’mon bill. we were having fun before all this-” steve holds a hand up to gesture. he watches billy’s shoulders tense with the movement.
“get the fuck out, harrington.” billy tries to sound threatening. it fails when his voice wobbles on steve’s name.
and steve. well steve doesn’t need this right now. doesn’t need to sit around babysitting his fucking… he doesn’t know. hell, they’re not even friends.
steve doesn’t need this right now.
just because steve said something. just because billy can’t take a fucking joke.
whatever.
“yeah, yeah.” steve looks at billy one last time. doesn’t know why the sight of him pointedly staring down leaves sour taste in steve’s mouth. “i’m going.”
he slams the car door behind him. hears a small noise as he does. he doesn’t look back.
billy will be fine.
steve walks fast. feels the cold air stings his face. feels his lungs burn with it. he tries to clear his head.
billy will be fine.
because billy’s a man.
fuck.
steve stops for a moment. leans back against a wall. thinks about the last hour. wonders how the day went so fucking sideways.
he feels his own eyes burn. slams a fist into the wall.
hold on just had a Thought…..when dome’s imaginary khatha (resident tsundere in reality) is more dere than tsun……is sweeter and more teasing and open rather than colder and shut off……either implying (TO ME) that either dome sees right through khatha’s cold exterior and this is how dome sees him when he’s being aloof AND/OR this is how dome wants their relationship to be when he finally gets back……;-;
This is a picture from half a year ago, but it occurred to me yesterday while I was keeping Lilja’s head in place during her second treatment that these animals really have to trust us a hecking lot to just let us do these things to them.
She’s been drugged to stay calm and feel a bit less as her teeth get filed down from being like a staircase to nearly straight (it was bad, now it’s almost good). Machines that make loud noises and vibrate get put in her mouth and there’s weird smelling dust everywhere. Meanwhile her human is gently patting her hair and praising her for staying put, and half an hour later she’s back with Fjara and eating hay like nothing happened.
Same goes for the other 3 (namely Týra, Solita and Ieniemini), who just come walking up to you after all that, asking for a treat (and a brush bc it’s shedding season and they’re all itchy ladies).
I don’t really think about it often, but sometimes it’ll hit me how much they trust that we have their best interests at heart and they know this in their own way.
Having read the manga, you are going to be disappointed if you think Akira and his friend hook up. That and one of the things on Akira's Bucket list is to meet the girl of his dreams.
Good things Akira has two hands and he can hold hands with Kencho in one and his dream girl in the other!!
