“Offer”

request; Can I get an imagine with Kokichi with an artist S/O who wants to paint him but he keeps flustering them with suggestions of a nude painting of him?

warnings; kind of suggestive, mention of nudity, cussing, mutual pining i think, i made it kinda crack fic, reader has an ultimate talent(artist), not edited too well, ended it weird like always, kissing, lowkey making out tho-

note; wow i wrote way too much- but hey, i still hope you enjoy this!

word count; 1.9k+

You walked around the school, looking for Kokichi to ask him to be your model.

Although you have sketched Kokichi several times before, you felt you needed to ask him face-to-face so he could just stay still in his goddamn chair instead of changing positions every 5 seconds and ruining your half-done sketch. And so, you went off to go find the boy, finding it surprisingly hard to catch him.

“There you are! I was looking for you-” You puffed out a sigh of relief, clutching your art supplies close to you as you saw your purple-haired classmate. Not a second after he caught sight of your figure jogging towards him, he had started taunting you.

“Oooooh, hey S/o, you seem mighty happy to see me, hm? I wonder why that is…” He took a funny-looking step towards you, voice laced with an interrogating tone.

He had that strange smirk on his face, and not the one you liked. N-not that you liked his smile! In consequence of staring at him and sketching him constantly without his knowledge—or so you thought—, you have become almost a master of reading his mood and expressions.

“Don’t get any wrong ideas, I just wanted to ask you if I could paint you.” For a small moment you swore you could see his expression twist into one of shock, before quickly melting back into his shit-eating grin. “Well of course you would! I’m the ultimate supreme leader, after all.” He acted as if he wasn’t just gob-smacked a second ago.

You beamed up at him, you had been in a small art block for a while and the moment you saw Kokichi, you knew he would be the cure to it. And so, you were ecstatic when he said what he said, “So you’ll do it?” You jumped a little too high, and spoke a little too eagerly.

“Mhm! —but with a catch, of course.” Your face dropped, you should’ve known the little fucker would try and get something out of you. “Nishishi!”

Unsure if you even wanted to know, you asked carefully, “W-what’s the catch..?” Your voice laced with caution, brain suddenly being reminded of all the pranks and blackmail he had fucked everyone else over with in the past. Knowing him, it could vary from, ‘Eat a bug.’ to, ‘Survive a knife game against me!’

But what he said was definitely worse than the former, and the latter.

“You have to paint me fully-nude.”

… It was suddenly very quiet, the echo of his insane remark, bouncing off the walls. The silence mostly coming from your side—then again, what did you expect? Painting Kokichi would mean the end of your art block and a painting of Kokichi, like, c’mon, but painting Kokichi nude would mean- Well, you weren’t sure what it meant; hence, the silence.

Impatient and somewhat annoyed by the silence, he poked at your shoulder, “So? Are you gonna paint me naked or not?” You stared at your shoes, too afraid to make eye contact with the boy you were now thinking of... naked.

“... C-can’t I just paint you normally?” He pouted, a comedically high whine erupting from his throat as he replied, “But that’s no fuuuuuun!”

“Don’t you want to see your ultimate supreme leader, whipping out his wang?-” You shoved his face away from your warm one, “Y… I mean n-no, no!” Your tone weak before getting loud and defensive as you caught yourself before all hell broke loose.

You felt your stomach drop as you thought about the possibility of Kokichi knowing you wanted to see him, and I quote, ‘Whipping out his wang’, Kokichi would never let that one go.

“Aw man, well I guess you don’t wanna paint me theeeen.” He slowly stepped away, a pout on his face as his back faced towards you. He hummed circus music as he teetered on his feet, balancing on one foot at once as he ‘walked’ away from you agonizingly slow, obviously waiting for you to tell him to come back.

“Koki-” In a flash, Kokichi had been by your side, dragging your hand to god knows where. “You have me convinced! I’ll let you paint me because I’m suuuuuch a nice guy. Nishishi!” Although you should’ve asked where the both of you were going, you felt knowing the catch was more important, “B-but what’s the catch?”

Kokichi kept at his speedy pace, yet he answered with a voice that still had so much energy in it, “Aww, I’m hurt you think there’s a catch, do you not trust me that much?”

Silence.

“Meanie... but yeah, you were right to suspect me. The catch is.... “ He drum-rolled on your palm, “You just have to kiss me for payment!” He slowed down a bit to send a cheeky smile your way. You almost tripped on your feet as you heard him, “What!? Bu-”

Kokichi quickly interrupted you, “Uh-uh, don’t try to pretend you don’t wanna. I know you have nooooo problem kissing those little sketches of me when you think no one is looking~” His voice quieted down sinisterly as he spoke, the evil smile spreading across his face once more. Although he had been wearing an extremely thick mask of a smile to hide his true feelings, anyone would’ve noticed that small blush on his upper right cheek. Anyone.

“You saw that?” Kokichi cackled at your agitated and flustered face, “Nishishi! Don’t worry, I’m the only one that knows. After all, no one finds you interesting enough to actually notice that.” You furrowed your brow at the subtle hint he had given you, “But you did-”

Kokichi put on a teasing smile this time, “That was a lie! I didn’t see anything with my own eyes, I just assumed you have and so you helped me confirm it! Nice job on fucking yourself over, S/o! Nishishi~!” You rolled your eyes, you liked this guy?

Well anyways, it didn’t seem to matter whether you questioned your feelings for the liar, as you finally made it to where Kokichi had been dragging you to. You watched as Kokichi skipped away from you and hopped on the bench, surrounded by moss and other wild plants.

“Ta-da! When I first saw this place, I immediately thought of you! You know, because you’re a nerd who likes cliché art settings.” He grinned, posing on top of the bench, “How’s this? Nishishi! Don’t answer that, I know this is perfect.”

... He looked like an idiot. But a cute idiot.

Suppressing a laugh, you gestured downwards to guide him down from his strange pose, “U-uh, maybe you could just, sit down? Like a normal person, I mean.” He sneered at you, before reluctantly sitting down, “You’re so boring.” The way he sat on the bench reminded you of a child who had just gotten denied candy.

Smiling in relief, you quickly took a seat on the bench opposite to him, bringing out your supplies excitedly. Despite the pout on Kokichi’s face, and the grudge he wanted to keep, the way you so excitedly took out your canvas made his heart melt as well as his attitude.

In the corner of your eye, you swore you could see Kokichi’s genuine smile, albeit it was lopsided but it still made you flush. Without thinking, you spoke, tilting your head upwards to look at him better, “You should smile more, you’re really pretty like that.” He… his mind blanked for a second, his façade fading away slightly to reveal a genuine expression of shock.

He quickly gained his composure back, “Um, okay? I always smile, are you blind?” Despite his passive-aggressive reply, you couldn’t find any reason to be mad, although you should’ve been. You smiled fondly and shook your head, diving back into concentration towards your canvas.

After an hour of pointless conversation, flirting, and calculated strokes of your brush, you were satisfied with the result. “... Alright, I’m done.” Kokichi sighed exasperatedly as he stood up and stretched, “Finally! I was afraid my limbs were going to freeze forever in that position.” You stared at him accusingly, “You didn’t even stay still the entire time. At one point, you did a fucking cartwheel-”

Kokichi slid on over you, leaning over your seated figure to peak at the painting of him. “Lemme see!” He reached for the painting with his pale hands, causing you to jerk the painting away from his reach. “It’s not dry yet! Just look, don’t touch.” You scolded, unamused by his pouty expression. “You’re no fun S/o-chan, but okay. I know how much you like to be in charge~” He teased, before finally laying his eyes on the painting he stayed still one whole hour for.

You felt your anxiety rise at his silence, “... Well, d-do you like it?” Although you were pretty confident in your ultimate talent and skills, for some odd reason, you felt extremely nervous when you showed it to Kokichi.

You were confused as to why your hands were shaking, you’ve shown your artwork to galleries, museums, the harshest art critics in the world! So why the hell did it matter so much to you if this one boy liked it or not?

“I think it looks super handsome! And by it, I mean me. Nishishi!” He grinned, “I look good in everything after all.” You scoffed, you couldn’t believe you actually expected a genuine compliment from Kokichi, of all people.

“Hey so, it’s time for your payment you know?” Payment... what? You looked up at him in confusion, big fat crocodile tears sprung out from his eyes, “Waaaah! I can’t believe S/o forgot our deal!” You flushed again as you were suddenly reminded of the kiss.

You sighed tiredly, “You were serious?” He glared at you, “I’m always serious!” You gave him an accusing look that screamed, ‘You know that’s bullshit.’ But sighed defeatedly for what seemed like the umpteenth time. As you stood up to walk up to him, you set your painting down nearby.

Squirming underneath his expectant gaze, you leaned in torturously slow until your noses were nearly touching, your eyes were glued to his lips nervously. You kind of just… stood there, waiting. Waiting for him to take initiative, as he usually does. “... You know, You’re kissing me, right? Not the other way around.” His voice was lower, quieter than usual, and you could feel his breath within each word.

He smirked at your awkward shuffle towards him, finding your averting eyes and flushed face extremely endearing. Though Kokichi would never admit it, deep down he was nervous too- But of course, he refused to ever admit that reality. Even to himself.

“I-I know that! I was just… preparing.” He hummed a skeptical ‘Okay’, standing patiently for the kiss you owed him. Letting out a shaky breath, you quickly pressed your lips on his, before immediately pulling away. Well, you tried pulling away. Kokichi gripped your collar, eagerly going in for more. His lips enveloped yours roughly, he could feel you trying to back away and so he just decided he had to go even harder.

Once he pulled away, he saw your lips puffy and swollen, and face completely dazed. You wanted to ask him why he stopped but he interrupted you before you could, “You know, I never said you had to kiss my lips, pervert〜” Your eyes widened at his statement, “It seems you’ve been wanting this for a while, huh?” You didn’t say anything, only fuelling his fire.

“Nishishi! You’re so obsessed with me, it’s adorable~” You took a defensive step back, “I-I am not!” He suddenly leaned his face dangerously close to yours, grinning sadistically as he heard your whimper. “You shouldn’t lie, you know? Especially not to me.” He leaned in next to your ear, catching your earlobe between his teeth and biting gently.

“Anyway!” You snapped out your daze as he barked suddenly, “The nude painting offer still stands, you know!” He yelled out, walking away from you, strangely.

After the latest Death Battle, I got a bit inspired and drew up a sketch of a crossover pairing. I’ll later clean it up and and a few more things, but for now. Have a sketch of Weiss Schnee X Mitsuru Kijiro.

Also, have some Fanfiction!

Weiss skidded to a halt on the stone floor, her ears ringing from the force of the ice explosion that had sent her flying as she closed her eyes. At first, she felt nothing, mostly because the cold had numbed her nerves somewhat, and if it hadn’t been for the scream she had let loose, Weiss probably would have thought she had died.

No, Weiss was fairly sure she wasn’t dead, because the next thing she felt was that exquisite feeling of having your stomach poked with a sharp blade.

It was a little sad that Weiss was familiar with that, but hey, at least she was alive. True, her bones were hurting something awful from that...umm...Person summon...thing whack her a few times, and she wasn’t happy about being encased in ice, but when you lived with a hyperactive speedster who crashed into you at high velocity, and you used to live in the literal frozen sky of the world, you kinda got used to both over time. So, that was good practice, sort of.

Still, ow.

On the bright side though, Weiss was fairly sure she had no internal damage, and her Aura, whenever it came back, would be able to heal whatever wounds that...what was her name again? Mit...uru? Mituru? She never quite caught that red haired, rapier user’s name.

Speaking of, where was she? Weiss tried to listen for something, anything, but the ringing in her ears was like that time when she had to block a literal wall from smashing into her face from that time on the train. It was okay, she could handle this. Just take a few deep breaths….

Wait, as that redhead still nearby?

A cold, sharp spike of panic shot into Weiss’ spine, did the redhead with the amazing figure think she was dead? That would be good, that meant Weiss could get away once the coast was clear. She heard of this tactic, playing possum, was it? Blake told her about it once, that sometimes animals in the wild used it to trick predators into leaving them alone. Maybe Weiss could use it.

Yeah, she faked smiles all the time, how hard it could it be to play dead?

Weiss would’ve allowed herself a smile, but corpses didn’t smile. Unless...wait, Weiss thought for a moment. Did her eyes have to be open or closed? She heard that people sometimes had their eyes open when they died, or was that only in the movies? Wait, what about her position? Did she need to make some sort of pose? She was laying pretty still, with no weird limb rotations. Was that too normal?

Curses, what would Yang do in this situation?

….Probably make a pun, then scamper off while the opponent was frustrated.

Okay, what would Blake do?

….Probably get saved by Yang.

Ruby?

Silver eyes of death, probably.

Okay, she was out of options. Still, her ears were still deaf, and she needed to see what was going on. Time to take risk! Despite how often that never seemed to work out, risks were a part of the Schnee lifestyle!

Besides, she didn’t have to open her eyes all the way, just enough to see!

Satisfied with this plan, Weiss dared to open her eyes just a smidgen.

And saw the gorgeous redhead standing over her, talking into a phone.

What would Qrow say at a time like this, probably something along the lines of “Well, shit.”

*****

Mitsuru Kirijo nodded once, “No, I’m fine. Just had to take care of some trouble.” She gazed down at the fallen form of Weiss Schnee, who was either shaking off the effects of her Nilfheim, or just trying to play dead and failing at it.

Bodies, of course, did not shift into adorable facial expressions like they were trying to figure a math problem.

On the other side of her conversation, Aegis gave her a “Affirmative.” Then closed the line. Pocketing her phone, Mitsuru shook her head and kneeled down.

She thought for a moment, how should she play this?

On one hand, she had just stabbed this person, and most people understandably weren’t too happy about that. Still, it wasn’t a fatal blow...she thinks. The people she used it on, mainly Akihiko, usually bounced back up in a few seconds. Then again, Akihiko was a freak of nature in every category, so that was probably a bad measure to scale by.

On the other, well...maybe that’s just how people greeted each other from where-ever Weiss was from? Maybe not, but it was worth a shot.

Oh, Mitsuru nodded to herself as a thought struck her. Pulling out her evoker, Mitsuru put it to her head and pulled the trigger.

“Persona!” She yelled, somewhat reflexively.

Next to her, Artemisia flared to life, and she swore there was a sharp intake of breath from the fallen Weiss. After a moment of scanning, Mitsuru nodded, Weiss was down and out, but had about one Hit Points left. Far from dead, still, that raised the question of what to do next.

Capture, release, or kill?

...Well, it had been a good fight, and the thought of killing a disarmed opponent left a bad taste in Mitsuru’s mouth. Sometimes, she was called an Executioner, but that just meant she finished battles quickly, she didn’t actually kill off helpless victims...did she?

Pushing that thought of her mind, Mitsuru gently placed a hand on Weiss’s neck, to confirm a pulse. A more mundane way of checking a person’s health, but at least it showed that she wasn’t fool by Weiss’ trick.

True to form, Weiss slightly recoiled at Mitsuru’s touch. Well, that was triple whammy if there ever was one.

“Ms. Schnee,” Mitsuru said, “You can get up now.”

Weiss didn’t move a muscle, trying to appear as still as poosible.

“...Ms.Schnee,” Mitsuru repeated after a pause, “I know you’re still alive, your health bar isn’t drained just yet.”

“What health ba-” Mitsuru smiled slightly as Weiss, now fully awake, looked at her with wide eyes and shrunken pupils, “Oh...um…”

Weiss immediately closed her eyes again and held her breath, causing Mitsuru to shake her head, “Well, at least you’re determined.” She mused.

After a few more seconds of waiting Weiss slowly opened her eyes and sat up under her own power, “What do you want?” She asked, her tone cold. Mitsuru attributed that to having just woken up by the person who beat you down, she had been there herself once or twice. Not fun.

Mitsuru placed a hand on Weiss’ shoulder, “You can relax, I mean you no further harm.”

Weiss looked down towards her stomach, where a stab wound could be seen, “...Forgive me if I don’t believe you.”

“Mhh...Fair enough.” Mitsuru, after a moment, sat down next to Weiss, who naturally flinched at the contact. In an effort to appear fair, Mitsuru scooted herself an inch away to give Weiss some space.

“....So…” Weiss rubbed a hand over her stomach, “....Would you believe me that this is the second time I’ve been stabbed?”

Mitsuru blinked, “Do you mean…” She ran a finger over her left eye, mirroring Weiss’.

Weiss giggled slightly, then placed a hand over her left eye, “No, this...this came from a test my father planned.”

Mitsuru had to pause after hearing that, “Your father did that to you?”

Weiss shook her head, “No, I had to fight a possessed Grimm, that...big knight you blew up.” She looked away, “I-I won, obviously, but…”

Mitsuru paused for a minute, then he reached out for Weiss, but quietly pulled her hand back. After a moment, she spoke again, “...My father entrusted me to fight Shadows when I was a little girl.”

Weiss snorted, “Wow, my father wanted me to be a trophy doll, all smiles, no substance.”

Mitsuru smiled, “I’ve lost count of the number of suitors I’ve had that wanted just that.”

Weiss turned to her, “I know, right?! They just..want me to stand there and look pretty.” She exclaimed happily, then flinched, clutching her stomach. “Ow...Heh.” Weiss glanced at Mitsuru, “You know, this isn’t my worst stabbing.”

“...” Mitsuru looked at Weiss for a moment, who coughed awkwardly, “I think you should work on your phrasing Ms. Schnee.”

“...How do you know my name?” Weiss asked after a pause.

Mitsuru blinked, “Ah, my Persona...it gives me information regarding opponents.”

“Oh.” Weiss looked suddenly deflated, “I see.”

“...It was a good fight.” Mitsuru tried, “You fought well.”

Weiss chuckled, but Mitsuru could tell it was bitter, “Actually, I’ve err...never managed to win a one on one fight.”

Mitsuru blinked, “Really?”

“I don’t know what it is, I just…” Weiss sighed, “I guess I work better in a team.”

Mitsuru closed her eyes, “Multiplication, not addition.”

“I’m sorry?”

Mitsuru looked back at Weiss, and tried to give her a smile, “Sometimes, some people work better with others then by themselves, hence multiplication.”

“Oh.” Weiss nodded, “...That doesn’t make me feel better, but thanks.”

“Don’t mention it.”

An awkward silence fell on them. Mitsuru looked away from Weiss for a minute, trying to think of what to do next, but before she could even begin a sentence, Weiss spoke.

“Hey, where’s Myrtenaster?” Weiss asked, looking around for her fallen weapon.

“Oh, is that how you say it?” Mitsuru found herself asking.

Weiss glared at her, “I’ve heard plenty of misnaming from my friends thank you very much, I don’t intend to…” Her gaze fell over to her fallen weapon, which laid on the ground in two pieces. “You broke it.” Weiss said, her tone hollow.

Mitsuru winced, “Yes, I did.”

“You broke it.” Weiss repeated in a daze.

“Allow me to apologize for-”

Weiss leaned forward, cupping her face in her hands, “Uuuuggggghhh...Can this day get any worse?”

Mitsuru was about to respond, then, of all things, a song began to play from on Weiss’s person.

“I BURN!”

With one smooth, practiced motion, Weiss pulled out a small, white device and flipped it open. Mitsuru figured that it was her equivalent of a phone, going by the way she quickly spoke into it.

“Hey Yang, no, no, I’m fine.” Weiss spoke, “I just...ran into some trouble. Turns out, I’m not the only one who knows how to use a rapier…” Whoever was on the other end must have said something stupid, Mitsuru mused, because Weiss made a face that looked like Yukari’s whenever Junpei was...well, Junpei. “Anyway...yeah, yeah...I’ll see you soon. Bye.” Hanging up, Weiss looked at Mitsuru and coughed, “So...um...Can I go?”

Mitsuru thought for a moment, “Well, I did break your weapon, so I assume you’re of no threat to me…”

“Gee, thanks.” Weiss said dryly.

“So, yes. You can go.” Mitsuru finished.

“Great!” Weiss made to stand up, only for her to wince and clutch her stomach as she sat back down, “Damn you Cinder…” She swore under her breath.

Despite the fact she wanted to know who this “Cinder” was, Mitsuru pushed it to the back of her mind, “Here, let me help you.” She said, standing up and placing a hand on Weiss’ arm.

“No, no, that’s fin-e?” Before Weiss could finish, Mitsuru stood and pulled Weiss up to her feet quickly, catching Weiss when she stumbled forward in her grasp. “Ah-ha…” It dawned on Mitsuru that Weiss was actually a bit shorter than her by a few inches as she clung onto her for support.

“Are you okay?” Mitsuru asked.

Weiss just huffed, looking into Mitsuru’s eyes, “I’m perfectly fine…” Weiss blinked for a moment, then said in a daze, “You have really pretty eyes.”

Mitsuru paused; when did she use Marin Karin…?

Weiss however, quickly shook her head, “Uh...forget you heard that.” She placed a hand on her head, “Post battle stress!”

“Quite.” Mitsuru smiled, “And for the record, I think you have pretty eyes as well.”

“Oh…” Weiss’ face blushed hotly, and she said something under her breath that Mitsuru couldn’t quite hear.

“So then,” Mitsuru began, “I trust you can find your way back?”

“Yes..I can Ms…” Weiss blinked, “I don’t think I ever got your name.”

“Ah.” Mitsuru blinked, “Kirijo M-....Apologies,” She took in Weiss’ outfit, westerner. “Mitsuru Kirijo.” She finished.

“Oh...Weiss Schnee.” Weiss smiled, “But you already know that, didn’t you?”

Mitsuru smiled, “I know, I just wanted to hear you say it.”

“Oh.” Weiss looked away again, then took a step back. She appeared to be unsteady, but she stood, “I’ll...uh, be going now.”

“Of course.” Mitsuru nodded, “Do you need any assistance?”

“No, I’m fine.” Weiss said with a hasty breath. She limped over to where her weapon had fallen, and she slowly bent over to pick up the fallen pieces. She was in pain, obviously, but Mitsuru knew that she had her pride on the line, “This cost a lot, you know.” She called over.

“The Kijiro group will pay for any damages.” Mitsuru replied with a grin.

“Mh, and the SDC will have to file a complaint.” Weiss returned.

What was the SDC? Mitsuru asked herself, but she shook her head and turned to walk away.

“Hey!”

Mitsuru looked over her shoulder, where Weiss was pointed the sword of Myrtenaster at her, trying to be as dramatic as possible, but the effect was lessened by the sight of Weiss struggling to keep the sword up, “The next time we meet, I will win! You got that?!”

Mitsuru smiled, she liked people with fire. “It’s a date!” She called back, savoring the sight of Weiss turning completely red and letting out a sound like a deflating balloon.

Last week I had to finish up this little skybison baby in a rush, as the friend of mine who requested this had a birthday party on Saturday. I’ve been sort of putting this up but the birthday was such a good opportunity to give it to her that I decided to hurry it along. I’m glad I did, she was really happy, as handing in the commission was totally on a whim for her and she kind of forgot about it, so it was even more of a surprise than I anticipated :)

I actually spent a lot of time hunting for the perfect fabric for this project and hence have a kinda big stack of it lying about now. It had to be a really fluffy one and I wanted to have it a really soft off-white that had to go with the brown I wanted to go with so I was kind off limited in my options which didn’t work very well with the very limited colour range off plush where I live :P Luckily I could use up some of my fabrics from my stash for the belly and the face, as I had a really nice soft nicky from my totoro sweater, a metallic jersey from an old platypus project and random alcantara which I’ve used for the first jacket I’ve sewn (wonder if that still fits me...)

The pattern I basically eyeballed. I knew I wanted to be really close to the reference, but it varied a lot depending on the picture you looked at, so I took a few artistic liberties, especially concerning the amounts of stripes on his back. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s better for me to work off a good pattern I’ve really thought through all the way then improvise it on the go. I have a pretty good feelings for geometry and patterns, but when it comes to the executing projects, I usually power through a lot so I have to have a solid base to work from and have to have a plan, otherwise I tend to make rush decisions that don’t work out as well as I’d like to. It worked out fairly well for this one except for the muzzle, which did turn out slightly more ruffled than I intended, and the eyes which aren’t perfectly symmetrical because I sewed them on in the subway to the party :P. I first sketched out the pattern, which actually was done month ago and then I tranferred it onto paper in the right measurements (again eyeballing them in about the size I needed) carefully labelling every part with which part it was and how often I needed it in each fabric.

Then came the cutting. And admittedly, it was tedious to pay attention to the direction of the hair in every single piece I cut, cutting it out in a way that I wouldn’t cut away any of the hair I might possibly need later on and then lie it out on my kitchen table so I wouldn’t confuse any of the pieces. This I think really saved a lot of time and frustration for me (and made for really nice pictures too :))

When I had everything cut up and ready, it came to deciding the order of sewing. Luckily I had thought this out before too, so it was just a matter of pinning it together (again paying attention to tucking in all the fur) and then hand sewing it all together. There were so many individual little pieces that I figured hand-sewing would actually be faster and tidier than doing it on the sewing machine. The only exception to this were the panels on the belly, which were made from alcantara and hand-stitching them would not have looked as tidy as I’d have liked it to (my machine didn’t like the fabric though and decided to skip stitches ever so often so I had to redo parts of it by hand anyways).

Making the arrow on the back was definitely the most rewarding part of the sewing process. I’ve never made anything like it and was so happy how it turned out! And I was really really hesitant to move on to the face as I feared it would mess everything up (Which ALWAYS happens, when I haven’t prepared everything beforehand...). At that point I hadn’t fully decided how to approach it and it was a bit tricky as there were different fabrics which all had a different stretch so in the end I opted for keeping the eye part and sewing the rest of the face in fake fur as the shape would be much more consistent and puffing the muzzled up would actually be easier when I would just sew it on top. So then I had a solid base to work from. At Friday way past midnight. And Saturday was a working day.

On the morning in the subway I decided to take things easy; there were only the (already premade) feet to be sewn on, the muzzle, the nose and the (already premade) eyes. So I spent my lunchbreak doing that. But I only managed the feet and the upper lip and as I really wanted the pieces to sit exactly where I wanted to, I opted to stay in a bit after work and finish up as much as I could there. So I sat there with all the colleagues who were already in weekend mode, sitting around with their beer stitching away in a frantic hurry, because I was already late for the party XD and turns out the colleague of mine who set next to me was a massive avatar fan XD He kept stealing glances at the little skybison and when someone asked what i was actually making, he chimed in “it’s appa!” almost in awe! XD And when I was leaving I gave the toy to him to hold for a bit and he was very happy about that too :)

So when I left, I had the nose and the eyes left to sew on. Good amount of sewing for a subway trip. XD The elderly man who sat across from me was a bit buffled I attempted it though tbh. Maybe also due to the military pocket knife I used to do the cutting XD Due to my stress the eyes, as I’ve already mentioned came out a bit wonky, but I think it’s not too noticeable and he still looks really adorable! I had opted to paint the eyes too and had also brought the colours with me but unfortunately I completely ran out of time for that too XD

All in all I’m absolutely happy with how this one turned out! And my friend is absolutely over the moon about it too, which is the most important thing!

Grimoire of Zero 9 | Royal Tutor 10 | Kado 9 | Tsukigakirei 9 | Boku no Hero Academia 24

Grimoire of Zero 9

“You genius ball of fluff!” – LOL. He’s fluffy, but not a ball of fluff.

I always thought the clothes man was weird, but not this level of weird.

“…Dawn Tower.”

“Fair trials” are never fair when done by people. After all, people have bias.

This blue night sky…I saw it before in Hataraku Maousama. This is by Studio White Fox, right? You can tell why.

Royal Tutor 10

Note for later: this.

Wut??? I didn’t see that twist about the cousin coming. That was a fact with not much payoff though, because while the staff milked it for a gag, the colour schemes of the characters mean it was a deus ex machina of a gag – not completely believable.

Why does this feel like they’re playing endgame cards too early??? Maybe it’s so that the storyline can focus on Heine and only Heine, but I worry about this anime only ending (see link above if you still don’t know about it) not working.

“Unfortunately, I have no girlfriend.” – LOL, ouch Bruno. Self deprecation is hard to pull off sometimes…

“I’m the super hot prince of charisma!” – LOL, Licht. No you’re not. That’s the king’s job (for me).

Er, dudes? You’ve been sitting on this plot point for almost an entire season. You should have noticed this already.

What the actual flap. Because Royal Tutor is so much like Kuroshitsuji, you never expect more stereotypical anime things like sentai teams to be parodied, but that just pulled it off so well. Plus, I’ve seen a shot of Leo dressed like this making the rounds on Tumblr, so I knew he was going to dress like Yato.

Go! Pick up all the items, Yato-dressed-Leo!

It’s literally a Pandora’s box. (Or maybe a Heine’s box, to make a lame pun on Heinz.)

Cleaning fanservice stills. Well, never thought I’d say that.

LOL, Kai’s sleeping on the job.

I kind of had the suspicion the “criminal in the palace” was Heine ever since the article was introduced, but I still went “oh no!” anyway.

Kado 9

Please don’t let Shunina be evil. Pleasedon’tletShuninabeevil-oh hi. You’re still here? You’re still bothering with Kado? Thanks for snapping me out of my mantra there.

“The world continues to accelerate.” – What powerful words…breathtaking stuff.

Please don’t get Shunina drunk, Shindo. On another note, they appear to have shredded squid as a snack.

I never noticed this until now, but Shindo has yaoi hands.

Interesting to note that Indians and Africans appeared in that cutscene. This is a truly international work, even if the action’s in Japan.

For some reason, when Shindo goes, “What are your thoughts?” I’m reminded of this post by Scott from Mechanical Anime Reviews. I used almost the exact same words in talking about the show itself, coincidence or not. Speaking of which, I may get that article out someday so look forward to it.

What’s the third object, Shunina?!

I’m not sure what a signifiant (sic) is.

At least the spinning effect wasn’t something seizure-inducing (like Pokémon’s Porygon ep)…was it?

Back to “science I don’t quite understand” – here’s the law of conservation of angular momentum. Never learnt it myself, so Shindo’s intelligence is already a league beyond my own.

Even Hanamori’s in on Tsukai’s tsundere-ness, LOL. Wait – where was Tsukai’s mother?

“I love him too.” – I thought the biggest ship base in the Kado fandom was Shindo x Shunina, so now the Shindo x Hanamori fans just got some major bait.

B-But Hanamori, don’t take advantage of Natsume’s drunkkenness! Even if it’s just asking her how she feels on Shindo, can you please keep it to when she can (not drunkenly) admit her feelings?

So Tsukai isn’t with anyone. *hollers into the void* Tsukai shippers, you can take her now!

Uh-oh. So zaShunina’s speaking in the language I understand – computer terms – but that face he’s making looks like this anisotropic being’s gone mad, and I don’t like the look of that.

I thought Mifune would introduce a philosophical element to this. He did, just not in a way I predicted (which is good).

Sericulture = the cultivation of silkworms to make silk, apparently.

The “thread” reminds me of Akutagawa’s “The Spider’s Thread”.

(Trigger warning for death in this next comment) Shindo, lying on the ground…that’s either exhaustion or death. I’m scared to think Nanomis-hein can revert death.

The more Shunina smiles, the more creepy he gets…and simultaneously, the more I become enraptured by this show. It’s strange.

It seems as if Shunina is expressing regret for the first time. I don’t like his sullen face, I’d rather a creepy face I could love than a sad face I can’t love. Besides, this mysterious black figure was in the end-of-ep preview last time, I bet he’s another universe’s Shindo.

Well, my guess was right and…ovibvrnvlk! Saraka?! What in flip-flap are you doing? T-This isn’t a superhero show! W-Wh-What? That’s one killer end-of-ep hook! Does this mean Saraka is a Sailor Moon of the anisotropic?! (My brain just got bent in so many directions, I think I’m seeing the anisotropic…but man, I still want more Kado…)

This ED sketch of Tsukai is new, it seems. The shots of everyone else are familiar to anyone who’s visited Kado’s official website and seen the character descriptions though.

It’s an apostrophe. I thought that was a typo, but it’s there in the titlecard! Also, I worry about bleeding Shindo and how this may become a shonen fighter (despite “shonen fighter” being my style of expertise, writing-wise)…

Update: Apparently Shunina’s “too many belts” outfit is inspired by a king in the storybook the child from ep 2 is reading. Also, random thoughts, but Tabiuta is anime’s equivalent to the Big Bang Theory opening. (brought to you by Reddit)

Update 2: The turtle apparently appeared in ep 7, although I don’t think I noticed it. (brought to you by ANN)

Tsukigakirei 9

The Wind Rises. Isn’t that a Ghibli movie? Yeah…it is, but it’s also a story by Tatsuo Hori, apparently, from which the movie is partially based. The Setting Sun is a Dazai work, by the way.

No OP, huh? They’re dead serious about getting their plot over and done with, which is good.

You can see Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises) and Ningen Shikkaku (No Longer Human) on Kotarou’s shelf, alongside Pandora’s Box (Dazai), The Restaurant of Many Orders (Miyazawa), some work by an Arishima Tatsuo (although the book is credited to Arima Tatsuo in the show), Kokoro (Souseki) and Goodbye (Dazai). The one with the blue spine I presume is The Setting Sun/Pandora’s Box (Dazai) – I remember trying to spin a poem for Bungou Stray Dogs’s Dazai using the title of The Setting Sun as inspiration.

Frumpy man on Kotarou’s magazine kinda looks like what the actual Dazai is shown to be like in photos. I thought for a second the LNs were Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, but like Grimoire of Zero and Re: Zero, they only bear partially simlar titles.

I’m hollering! As much as I know how much LNs can be good, you know how the anime community sees LNs and that’s why I’m laughing so much.

I had a character called Daisuke once (he was the uncle and consultant for Tetsuya in Ro.Te.O, as well as being Katsuo’s dad), so I was startled to see this older brother figure is also called Daisuke.

It’s such a strange reversal – Kado became a shonen battler, losing the faith of most of the people who still watch it (not me, though!) and Tsukigakirei actually got good. It’s an almost sad change. Tsukigakirei also almost lost its bad CGI, which is good too.

Ike, LOL. I think that company’s shown up previously.

Dokidoki is a heartbeat onomatopoeia, so it’s not quite OMG.

Aw, Chinatsu. Please don’t make me all sour inside again. I already had that when I saw people jump ship on Kado.

I wrote on similar experiences for One Wish They Never Wanted, so to see Akane weeping over the end of one period of schooling is something I know well.

So hayashi isn’t rice in this case? It’s that dance from the OP?!

Huh, that’s interesting. My parents gave me the exact same talk for the experiences I wrote on for One Wish They Never Wanted (hence there’s a similar scene between Takuma and his father), so suddenly…Tsukigakirei has become a Kado replacement (although I still don’t love any characters in Tsukigakirei as much as I do Shunina, haha). Strange thing is, I thought I’d never go where I’d want to go and…I went where I wanted to go. *tries not to cry* Dangit, Tsukigakirei. You’re so good at bringing feels right now…it was good to wait 6 eps for the good stuff.

I only read the back half of the ED convo and it doesn’t make much sense without context…

Boku no Hero Academia 24

I read the ep synopsis…and when it says “Todoroki vs Bakugo” as the next ep title, you know Iida’s gonna lose.

Interesting how everyone loses interest in competitiors that lose. it’s kinda like those rankings people do for anime episodes per week, which I admit I enjoy watching quite a bit, but this almost makes me feel guilty for ranking anime (which is a weird sentiment to have, I know, I know).

Well, there’s something new. I guess it’s only natural for All Might to be Quirkless beforehand, that’s how this show works.

Physics 101: When an unstoppable force hits an immovable object…[fill in the blanks].

I see. The best offence is a good defence and vice versa, which is why the two are so evenly matched.

The girls are wearing summer uniform shirts in the ED now. Were they like this last time? I don’t remember.
