*Taps mic* This thing still on?
Anyways, it’s been a hot minute. I was admittedly skeptical when I first heard about Promare, but I went to see it anyways solely because the animation looked cool. (I then proceeded to watch it 4 more times then paid an absurd amount of money to see it in 4DX). I’m really glad I gave it a chance because the entire movie is SO hype and such a huge serotonin rush!
I drew these about 3 years ago (realizing this made me shrivel into dust), but burnout and quarantine depression made me reluctant to compile any of my sketchdumps, much less draw at all. I’m hoping to slowly get back into the swing of things, but in the meantime, I hope you’re all being kind to yourselves and staying safe.

promare fans were so intense abt how they thought gueira and meis felt abt galo but forgot the probably most realistic adult feelings of ‘this guys my friends boyfriend’. i know its not as Drama Filled as whatever ppl were tryingto do that wasnt in character (w lio and galo at least, we dont rly know enough abt guemeis but its safe to assume) but its kind of funny imo. at least at the start. untapped potential

extant-exhaustion · 2 months
Note
Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?
Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "extant-exhaustion "?
Well, first of all, thank you so much for your patience! I know it took me seven weeks to reply to this Ask! I agonized over my list (also, the holidays happened, which kept me busy). But I finally narrowed it down, so here we go, in no particular order:
My Top 10 Favorite Fanfics
In Another Life by LittleLuxray Haikyuu!! | T+ | 23k | Bokuto/Akaashi | angst, sickfic | It's famous for a reason. Truly one of the best pieces of writing I've ever read, including published works—I've rarely cried so hard or been moved so much.
died in my dreams by MTrash Haikyuu!! | T+ | 10k | Ushijima/Tendou | futuristic/cyberpunk AU, opposites attract, reluctant work partners to friends to lovers | fantastic characterization, really cool conceptually, a story about trauma and healing and finding your person
the weight of water by wordstruck/@redluxite Haikyuu!! | M | 6k | Iwaizumi/Oikawa | angst | Painful, soul-crushing heartbreak, but so, so beautiful. As someone who's experienced loss and grief, this story is visceral and the accompanying art haunts me.
Come and get lost with us by boxofwonder Haikyuu!! | M | 150k | Hinata/Kageyama, Daichi/Sugawara | action/adventure, Medieval AU(?) | unlike anything I've ever read before or since; a really masterful integration of an enormous cast and a plot that unravels with absolutely zero fluff or filler
shimmer in your shine by zenelly/@zenellyraen Hunter x Hunter | T+ | 91k | Leorio/Kurapika, Killua/Gon | American roadtrip AU | This story made me cry over a fist fight between Leorio and Illumi in the parking lot of a Red Lobster in Arkansas.
The Myth of Mankind by MistressEast/@mistresseast Promare | T+ | 63k | Galo/Lio | action/adventure, romance | masterful worldbuilding, kickass fight scenes, intrigue galore, falling in love while preventing mass murder? yes, please
A Second Chance To Say by KazimaKuwabara/@kazimakuwabara Yu Yu Hakusho | M | 92k | Yusuke/Kuwabara, Youko Kurama/Kuronue | action/adventure, hurt/comfort | ft. Kuronue's eternal sass and unwavering friendship, the slow burn of reincarnated already-in-love KuwaMeshi (because Kuwabara doesn't remember it), somewhat menacing levels of intrigue, and Hiei finally winning MVP of emotions on Team Urameshi
Don't Blink or You'll Miss It (Lift Up Your Head) by umisabaku/@umisabaku Kuroko no Basuke | M | 81k | Kagami/Kuroko, Kasamatsu/Kise, Midorima/Takao, Himuro/Murasakibara, Aomine/Momoi | super powers | This story and its accompanying series are so cool and so unique. The characterization is amazing and the worldbuilding is stellar.
neither fish, flesh, nor foam by twoif interactive on Twine Kuroko no Basuke | Kagami/Kuroko | angst, Little Mermaid–esque, interactive storytelling | incredible, but also devastating; a story about how sometimes our doubts can destroy not only ourselves but the good things we build; one of the coolest things I've ever interacted with as a story, a true tour de force
Transient Shadow, True Light by seafoamist/@seafoamist Kuroko no Basuke | M | 322k, WIP | Kagami/Kuroko | angst, hurt/comfort, time travel, historical (Edo Period) | If you talk to me about this story, I will go absolutely feral, because it is my current obsession and the only WIP that is on this list. I'm straight-up insane about its quality and depth. I can't even put this story into words. It knocks the wind out of me.
And lastly, my URL doesn't actually have a story behind it! It's basically just my life, haha. “Extant” is an adjective meaning “ongoing/still in existence” and “exhaustion” is pretty obvious. Essentially, I like alliteration and thought it sounded better than "tired 100% of the time."

Preliminary Round: Poll Runner's Choice
Ok, so this poll is gonna be a bit different. I picked six of my favorite submissions that didn't get in to put in this poll. Vote for who you would like to be in the main bracket the most, and the top three duos will be added to the bracket. So, without further ado...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Toothless(top left) vs Tsukioka Tsumugi and Takatou Tasuku(top right) vs Xingqiu and Chongyun(middle left) vs Rose Lalonde and Dave Strider(middle right) vs Mabel and Dipper Pines(bottom left) vs Lio Fotia and Galo Thymos(bottom right)
Propaganda for Hiccup and Toothless: "They literally read each others minds, they're so in sync, they trust each other so much"
Propaganda for Tsumugi and Tasuku: "they're childhood friends who started acting together in school! acting requires lots of trust in your fellow co-stars like for example if they mess up or forget a line you need to be able to cover for them and keep the show going. after years of acting they're very much in sync able to match each other's energy onstage during a performance. even the player character (default name: izumi) notes in her narration that these two have a special connection onstage that no one else in their theatre company has bc of their years of acting together <3"
Propaganda for Xingqiu and Chongyun: "They have several matching design elements that balance each other out, with Xingqiu being associated with dark blue and black while Chongyun is associated with light blue and white. Chongyun uses the ice element, while Xingqiu uses the water element, which makes them formidable (or at least troublesome, since they freeze the enemies constantly) in a team together in game. They're commonly seen or mentioned together, and while Chongyun occasionally complains about Xingqiu's pranks, they get along well enough that an entire section of Chongyun's character story (in his profile) is dedicated to his friendship with Xingqiu, and vice versa with Xingqiu's story. Chongyun is a very earnest and genuine person, while Xingqiu is a bit wily and a prankster - despite this, Chongyun trusts him over and over again, despite the trouble that Xingqiu's pranks often cause for him. sorry for submitting genshin and writing a whole wall of text lol"
Propaganda for Rose and Dave: "I'm bad explanations, but the short of it is that even though they're both very cagey people and try not to be themselves, they see through each other's façade."
Propaganda for Mabel and Dipper: "They're the bestest siblings ever. They're twins and have such a wonderful beautiful relationship. Their relationship so important for the show as a whole and Gravity Falls wouldn't be what it is if not for them. They're the reason why I strive to be a good sibling to my own brother. I've been obsessed with this show and them for so many years. They're my favourite and I love them so so much."
Propaganda for Lio and Galo: "First, the obvious- they literally co-pilot a mech during the movie, and them being in sync is required for it to function: the more they understand each other, the better they fight. Also, they're very effective foils: The ice-cold arsonist and the burning-hot firefighter, who are also (as close to canonically as Studio Trigger can get) in gay love."

Connichi stuff
Time to show you what sweet and amazing art I got at the Connichi! I'll tag all the artists so you can look them up and leave some likes and follows if you like the art!
Tumblr media
FHSAFJ I love this print (and cute Serizawa sticker) to bits. The last print of a ship that I got myself was a Kurofai print I bought in 2014 or smth, so that's saying something. Go follow @dersalzbaron immediately!! They are super super nice and such a great artist!
Tumblr media
I'm cherishing every one of these stickers and that SUPER LOVELY DYNAMY TOO! Art by @theartofhellebarde, also such a sweet person!! Leave a like or a follow if you like the art or I'll come into your house and rearrange all your cupboards.

The cutest Trigun stickers ever. The artist is not on Tumblr but you can follow them on Twitter and Instagram for more cute stuff. ALSO they make super beautiful handsewn bags. I was tempted to get one for myself or as a present...
Tumblr media
The Legato sticker might just be my favourite one in the whole universe. Artist is @narik0h!
With the Kacchan sticker, I think it was from another artist, though I had put it in the same bag. Sorry that I can't remember, I manually checked through the whole list of all the other artists, checking their social medias, but couldn't find a clue if it's from the same or, if not, from whom it is! I remember though they had demon!Kacchan and angel!Kacchan and I just HAD to take the demon one. God that boy is so cute.
Tumblr media
Sweet little Lio and Galo stickers, look how small! Adorable! Artist is sar1m0, not on Tumblr but you can find them on Twitter and Instagram!

Something I’ve been spinning around in my brain for the past few weeks is the similarities and differences between galo and laios
And maybe that’s just me being silly about characters I like but like
They both share a lot of qualities but one thing I feel like they are opposite ends of the scale on is being able to read people and their reaction to that
Like laios seems to have a very very hard time understanding people’s feelings, especially towards him, and is distraught to find out when people don’t actually like him because they never outright said so. He doesn’t see how his interests would be off putting to other people, which isn’t inherently bad, but the whole situation seems to cause friction between him and other people. But like he obviously cares about people. He has animosity towards humanity for leaving him and his sisiter behind on a structural level, but he cares for his friends even when they hurt him. He deserves a better, more understanding world frankly lol
Galo on the other hand, to me, seems like he can read people better than I think people give him credit for. He could tell when Aina was kinda backhandedly calling him stupid for being brash, and he could tell when lios dragon was crying for gods sake. It’s not that he doesn’t understand what people feel about him, it’s that he has a pretty high level of not caring what people think of him, cus at the end of the day he’s got a job to do and that’s the most important thing to him. There’s still some things he’s oblivious about, but to me most of what people I think view as him being oblivious to is actually him just having a very high opinion of himself.
The only thing I can say he may be entirely oblivious to is Aina having a small crush on him, and I chalk that up to him seeing aina more like a sister and him being gay lol
But back to the point, aside from the reading people thing, I think laios and galo would infodump about their special interests to each other for hours cus it’s a nice thought. They could like exchange tips for each others professions and eat lots of monster pizza and stuff lol

Promare fans!! Sk8 fans!! May i pitch to you my latest crossover fic:
What if Burning Rescue and Mad Burnish were rival skating groups at S?? What if Aina was the cute rollerblading girl all us Sk8 fans always wanted??? What if Galo and Lio mirrored matchablossom, keeping up the face of “friendly rivals” with always just a little too much sexual tension for them to be just friends????
May I present: (more than) friendly rivals on Ao3!!
Shameless self promo but pls give this fic a chance I’m so proud of it & not many folks have read it 🥺🥺

Hi...if you don't mind me asking, who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....
Hi! Thanks for your ask! This is a good question, and this is my first ask so don’t apologize! Currently my mains are
Dazai/Chuuya aka Soukoku from BSD, I really like their dynamic, just the familiarity they had when they came on screen for the first time together. I think Bungou is really well execute though, so S2 showing that they still can come together and pretty much treat each other the same way / exasperation with no heat? And then the light novels are soo helpful too! I really think they’re sweet for each other, and I just think that’s neat! Plus there’s so much to unpack with their relationship! Yeah Chuuya wasn’t happy when Dazai left, but did he really resent him for it? Did he take it personally? What are they going to do now? All they do whenever they’re together is their best to protect each other.
Gojo Satoru / Geto Suguru from Jujutsu Kaisen, the tragedy! Oh man! It took me a bit to get on board with this, but I’m in for life now. It was the “My six eyes tell me your Geto but my soul knows otherwise.” I haven’t looked back. Gojo so shamelessly admitted that and Geto fighting back? They actually remind me a lot of Soukoku, with the obvious being Gojo = Dazai and Geto = Chuuya, but also Gojo was the one who got left just like Chuuya. So much went wrong for these two when it didn’t have to! If Geto had just took the time to explain, if he didn’t stubbornly try to rationalize his mistake, if Gojo had not taken Geto’s words at face value, if he’d’ve pushed a little more. I really love the impact they had in each other. Geto is the reason Gojo pushes for a better future for young sorcerers (does not seem like it’s going that well) and Gojo was the reason Geto wanted to make the world a better place for sorcerers.
Sun Jing / Qiu Tong from Tamen De Gushi (Their Story), a Chinese manhua. The story is just so cute, innocent, and straight forward. No screwing around, misunderstandings, annoying drama, etc.
Galo / Lio from Promare - this movie was so good! These two are really cute! I’m gonna say they’re semi-canon …
Hua Cheng / Xie Lian Heaven Official’s Blessing. Tragic characters when separated but together work towards their best future! Love it.
Cheng Xiaoshi / Lu Guan from Link Click I watched this on a whim and was so impressed by the characters and story! Im super interested to see where their relationship will take them, especially after what’s been revealed in S2, which I’m still reeling from! I am eagerly waiting for season 3!
I’m curious about yours now! What would you say yours are?
Honorable Mentions in no particular order below the cut
Yeong-sin and Seo-bi from Kingdom (kdrama) even though they don’t interact much, them being the only two survivors of the zombie epidemic in Jiyulheon is really what sets them a part for me although anytime they’re around others they act like they don’t know each oher.
TodoDeku was super cute in a very innocent kind of way. I liked that Todoroki was the first person who wasn’t Izuku’s friend who to saw his potential and see him as competition. I haven’t followed My Hero since S4 tho.
Yoruichi / Soi Fon Bleach; I felt Soi Fon’s devastation, to be joined at the hip and devoted and then abandoned and left behind. Yoruichi is merciless, she didn’t gaf lol.
Speed / Trixie sealed in by the 2008 Speed Racer live actions. They were crazy in the anime.
Astrid / Hiccup from the HTTYD film franchise, what a power couple.
Nancy / Edward from Enchanted, they are wasted by Disney but they’re oh so cute!
Aurora / Phillip from Sleeping Beauty, they are also wasted by Disney.
Goku/Chichi Dragon Ball, Chichi is wasted by Akira.
Steve / Bucky too, from Captain America, the way Steve was constantly ready to raise hell for Bucky got me. I pretend anything Phase 3 and after didn’t happen.

Waitwait please..! I'm a little lost about the family au comics, tagged like kill la kill too and others, triggerverse au... Could you make a bit resume about them? How they connect with lwa years later au? That comics was so intriguing...! I hope to not bother, thanks!
oh anon, you've just opened Pandora's box.
long post ahead about triggerverse au
Triggerverse AU [alternate universe] is an AU of an AU is the best way to put it. It was a joke between a friend at first because we noticed some similarities between different shows that trigger has specifically worked on [animation quirks etc etc] and were like "lol what if theres a cinematic universe" but then we thought too hard about it.
You might've noticed the 4 main girls [Seraphine, Thyma, Ren, and Kamiko] are together. This is because, in this AU, a certain goopy guy [Xuihcoatl, who's a longtime OC of mine] comes back AGAIN after the events that happens specifically in the Years Later AU [lwa]. He ends up splicing the 4 different universes together into one in search of the lwa world and chaos ensues because that's not supposed to happen. This also gets the attention of Luluco because shes, yknow, a space cop.
tl;dr for Xuihcoatl. He's gotten many revisions over the years as he's my oldest OC to date. He's the embodiment of Death itself, seeing as he was once the God of Death a long time ago. But when his brothers felt he was too strong, they banished him to the real world. He terrorized humans until a Sorcerer with a certain rod 'killed' him. But his soul was still intact, and he vowed from then on that he'd destroy humanity, no matter how long it took. He eventually holes himself up into the lwa world and the rest is history. In triggerverse, he gathers enough magical energy to regain his old body back, so he appears as an actual dragon in this story. He's just a strong dude basically.
Triggerverse takes place like several years later after any canon story. The girls are well into their late teens [or 20 for Thyma and Ren], making any canon cast characters older adults. For newcomers;
Seraphine is the adopted daughter of Akko Kagari and Diana Cavendish. [She appears heavily in my Years Later AU, she is the Shiny Rod's next holder as well]
Thyma is the adopted daughter of Galo Thymos and Lio Fotia. [She's one of the few remaining humans to still have promare, she got the mutation when she was an infant, and her power is almost identical to what Lio once had.]
Ren is one of the Ryuko and human!Senketsu's children. [Ren has already been in an adventure type scenario, as human!Junketsu came back so life fibers could take their hold on earth again using her little brother, Kenta as a catalyst. But she ends up saving him and stopping Junketsu. I don't have any updated material to give out on this, its over 8 years old and needs to be heavily revised]
Kamiko is the daughter of Michiru Kagemori and Nazuna Hiwatashi. She is the youngest member at the age of 16 and most inexperienced.
Putting a massive cast of different characters together also just seemed fun, the interactions would be whacky and hilarious.
The whole AU is centered around stopping Xuihcoatl from causing anymore problems, but he's a very difficult enemy to face. He goes as far as to bring back human!Junketsu, steal beastmen blood, promare fire, and the Sorcerer's Stone for his own gain. It's up to the cast of the 4 different universes to work together to stop him [in usual trigger fashion] before the fate of their worlds fall into ruin due to the space paradox he caused.
For context as far as the comic you saw;
Xuihcoatl set up base on an dormant volcano, planning to reawaken it once he can grow the promare fire once more. He captured all 4 girls as well as some other characters, like Galo and Lio. He plans to use human's life essence to boost his own magical abilities, as the human soul is strong no matter what. However, seeing her family and friends in danger, Thyma overpowers herself and goes into a rage similar to what Lio was capable of a long time ago. She ultimately blows up the entire mountain using her fire, destroying Xuihcoatl's base and saving her friends and family but she almost dies from it.
yes im insane, no i will not stop.

What's your favorite Galo moment? Mine is when he says that he'll even save Kray, too. And then punching him in the face. It was a very satisfying one-two punch.
YES yes that one is up there for me, that might be my favorite moment too. Just, everything in the engine room was great, but that specific moment, that moment where he makes it clear that it doesn't matter what happens, who he's saving, he's going to save every last person every single time, because that's just who he is.
I was watching Promare with my friends because one of them hadn't seen Promare yet and we were getting so rowdy, and half of them were like "You know what I think Galo deserves to kill, I think Lio deserves to kill" and I absolutely get there, there are a lot of times in these kinds of movies where you can argue killing someone is a moral good. But you know, A) at that point, it's clear that Kray is no longer an actual threat anymore, unlike, I dunno, the Joker mid-rampage in the Dark Knight, and B) It's a really good encapsulation of Galo's personality.
Like. He's very shonen protagonist. He's very hot headed, act first think later. Plus I'm sure he has a lot of complicated emotions to unpack about Kray, but in that moment he still wanted nothing more than to punch him, so he did. But Galo takes his job so seriously, because it's his passion, and his passion is saving lives No Matter What. (This post makes some really good points on this too, got me thinking about this big time.) Sure, he enjoys the attention it gets him, he enjoys the praise and the respect. He's a bit of an egomaniac, and there's no taking that away from him. But at his heart, he cares about humanity as a whole, and if that means saving bad people as well as good people he will do it. And there is nothing that will ever, ever make him change his mind and compromise that belief, certainly not Kray Foresight.
You know what other Galo bit I love? And I can't call it a moment because it's kind of spread out, but it starts when Galo's first freed from prison, and he sees the Lio Dragon destroying the city, and the first thing he says is "He's crying." And he decides then and there that he's going to save the city AND save Lio. Because Galo loves fighting and beating up the bad guys, he would've been so happy to kick Lio's ass if he thought Lio was a monster. But he'd spoken to Lio, he knew that Lio had that same belief as him, that Lio wanted to save everyone no matter what happened. And when he's talking Lio down in the helicopter, that's what gets through to him, that he saved Lio because he knows Lio would be devastated if he realized he was turning into the monster that people saw him as.
