ok so maybe i have brainrot (is this new?)

I’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome lately and due to that had giant artblock. But I sat down and just… read the entirety of @overlymetaromantic ‘s My Brother’s Not-So-Secret Boyfriend and had such a hit of inspiration I just had to draw my favorite panels. And what do you know. IT HELPED

Augh this is such a good series I love Karin so much and I am eagerly awaiting the day Maki and Kaito decide to not be cowards and face their feelings The original panels under the cut

I was very kindly asked about reference sheets for my comic's characters, which until that moment did not exist, but thanks to them asking now they do!!! I figured I may as well share what I made for them publicly as well, so please feel free to do whatever you want to with these details 👀 (+more character details below the cut!)

Karin: Highly self-assured with high self-confidence. As a default, she tends to assume she’s right about things, because the odds have almost always been in her favor—even when she’s wrong, she’s usually still picked up on some element of the truth. She’s a deeply empathetic person, but isn’t necessarily aware of just how affected she is by other people’s emotional states. All of this combined defines both her biggest strengths—her confidence and ability to push things forward—and her biggest weaknesses—her impulsivity and self-righteousness.

Kaito: Very much pulling from the straight-laced, rule-obsessed, class president type, but with several little subversions to the archetype that might be surprising. The only person he really holds to high standards is himself, with his core internal conflict being based around him feeling like he has a naturally self-indulgent nature while simultaneously being driven by a need to earn the right to actually indulge in the things he likes. Overthinks due to anxiety. Amongst the nerds, he's secretly considered kind of terrifying for how he's capable of going toe-to-toe with delinquents.

Maki: While he is capable of Crimes, Maki is arguably a delinquent in name only lol. In my mind, he's very Shonen Protagonist-adjacent, i.e., he has a bright sort of energy about him that just makes people like him immediately regardless of anything else that's going on. He'd be the student that's always getting in trouble but is also the teacher's obvious favorite. He's surprisingly (and concerningly) good at holding back on his feelings—in general, the more he cares about something (or someone), the harder a time he has with speaking up about his wants, out of the fear that it might change things for the worse rather than maintaining them as they are.

Hello! my silly little webcomic got a spontaneous spike in numbers last month that still doesn’t feel real! the power of social media is kind of terrifying tbh!!! this is once again less a call to read it and more just a need to document that it happened laksjdf aNYWAY THANKS FOR READING IF YOU DO WOW

#webtoon #let's pretend I can draw #original stuff #mermay #hey that's relevant to this one specific post! #anyway the comic is now at nearly 33K readers which is so so many......... #to anyone who both reads my comic and follows me here please know I love each and every one of you #and to those who follow me here but don't read it you're wonderful too! thanks for being here! #my brother's not so secret boyfriend #mbnssb

[overlymetaromantic]

so in a plot twist that even surprises myself, I’ve been managing to consistently update my silly little comic, and in an even bigger plot twist it got spotlighted for like a week and a half and increased my sub count by over tenfold???? anyway this isn’t really a call to action to read it or anything, I just kind of want to document this somewhere because it’s still surreal to think about aslkdjf

I don’t know if there’s anyone who happens to follow both my tumblr and my comic, but if you do, please know that I love you! this is a lot of people reading an original thing by me!! gah!!!

#THANK YOU FOR READING TO ANYONE WHO DOES #webtoon #let's pretend I can draw #original stuff #I'm sure there's other tags I could add but my brain is still scrambled alskjdf #my brother's not so secret boyfriend #mbnssb

hey guess who started a new comic two months ago and then never told anyone about it!!!

it’s a mostly silly comic about a girl who discovers her brother has a secret boyfriend, and does her best to respect their privacy and ignore it—except, they’re very bad at hiding it so she ends spending more time trying to cover for them lol so if anyone thinks they might enjoy that, hey! you are automatically a favorite person for checking it out!! thanks!!!

#this is another little comic but I'm aiming to have it run longer than Something Borrowed! #so it's little in that the episodes are short lmao #but this does mean I can post weekly! so that's a commitment!! #I think I'll only post about it here when an arc ends though #clearly I can't do monthly reminders #original stuff #let's pretend I can draw #webtoons #hi I still don't know how to tag these kinds of things #thanks for looking at it if you do!!! it's silly and simple but I'm having fun :D #my brother's not so secret boyfriend #mbnssb
