Here is the first part of this comic R>L

I'm so happy how this all turned out, even though I feel like there is a lot of text this time lol, but, exposition!

Can we get 5 big booms for me keeping my word on fucking April Fools day

I hope you'll enjoy these idiots, and if you do, why not check out the fanfic I wrote about Akechi and Ume being siblings during the 3rd cemester? (With illustrations!)

Or how about Ume bonding with the PTs after Akechi is gone?

And with that, I will be off, to making more OC content because the obsession makes me want to learn more skills than ever before!

this can't be

can i just make them in infinity nikki and be over with it

people will care about your characters if you actually show said characters btw

The fun thing about people with ocs is that you can just ask them about their ocs opinions. Like oh what would your oc say about this. What would they think. How would they tell me good night. It's great

Idk I just sketched Lady Gaga SNL thumbnail cuz Im overwhelmed today yay🩷

Better content soon I promise (D&D sessions are beating my social battery)

What if I start all of my art captions with !!Official Art!! when I post my OCs

do yall think it will get ppls attention

Got my MARINA phase about 13 years too late guys my bad

Every song I listen to makes my brain go ITS THEM OMG ITS THEM and I cant exactly shit out animatics for each and every one so

garbled mess of a sketch it is

version without text is under the cut cuz this shit is hard to look at it lmao

for ppl who are waiting on the comic continuation - Im just tryna imagine the last two pages for the next part, I'm almost there lol

something really changed between -checks when i did the first 4 parts- NOVEMBER???

and now but yeah Im continuing the Ume and Akechi's first meeting hope everyone is excitedddd

I just really hit a slump with the new fic, the writing is not writing, Its painful to read ngl

Here is the first part if ur curious Im goin back to drawing teehee

here is a lil wip Im still thinkin of finishing as a treat lol headbanging akechi for the soul

i think imma start posting my idiots more now Ume and Nayara(the parrot), Taiki, Riku, Akemi and Kimiko (name changed)

original under the cut and the close-ups

added some personality to the backgrounds as well

damn, she’s a bad bitch. oh they’re nonbinary? my bad. damn, they’re a bad person

Started playing Infinity Nikki and I speedran so hard I have nothing to do now but grind the materials for the miracle outfit rip

I also discovered that I could make Ume and make her wear pretty dresses and it made the encounters with Giovanni really funny Im not gonna lie (imagine that hes not actually voiced by the same VA and he just sounds a lot like Robbie Daymond and I hallucinated everything)

I am Drew, and I am Danny

And we're not the same person - Akechi and Giovanni probably idk

ik its pretty ugly but im tryna get out of artblock im sorry

also some Ume in Infinity Nikki screenshots below ig

living my best life with the whole dress up game genre like actually

YAYAYAYAYAYAA

An art of my friend's Persona characters. Happy birthday @ginbutnottonic

A failed artist with a fictional artist share a bday crazy stuff (they are both autistic)

I've been so exhausted lately but still decided to sketch something to celebrate me turning 22 (im so old)

If u could, maybe u can reblog it as a gift for me?

I write fanfics and draw silly fanarts, I also love creating OCs and wish to share them with the world, because any art can inspire people, even garbage art (coughs)

If you can, maybe check out my fanfic (s) as well? Just to make me smile for a bit. Anyway, thanks to everyone who likes my art, hopefully I can join you in loving something I create soon as well <3

Wanting to draw more of a specific oc or share literally anything about him but to do so would spoil a plot point

I really liked Miside ok... so I merged my two hyperfixations into one mb guys (might be part 1 cuz... u can draw even more different akekis im not gonna lose my chance lol)

dont mind that his face changes on every drawing lmao

making something silly hopefully I can finish it today

happy(?) Akeki for now

Fun Story to Share.

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

———

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

At last, the time has come... Questions that must be answered overwhelm my head, but... It has to be dealt with.

We've come to an end at last! The longest chapter by far, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

Here are a few extras I did for this one as well~

U can have a little shuake sketch as a treat~

U can check out other chapter covers here:

First | Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | Sixth | Seventh | Eighth

We need to get through this... It was predetermined after all.

I redrew this 3 times it was not connecting

Any extra content for this chapter will take longer, mb, animation has hands

First | Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | Sixth | Seventh | Ninth

next doodle is lowkey kinda ugly and a spoiler so im hiding it hihi

my head hurts anyway

really like how this sketchy akechi (ha) looks, so wanted to capture this beautiful moment in time before I go and ruin it with my lineart

cant believe the fic is gonna end soon, scary stuff

Final pic is heeere

The biggest compliment ever is when someone sees your creative work and says that they’re now inspired to go out and create something, too

A writer friend told me something that broke my heart a little bit today; they're going to quit publishing their fanfic.

My instant thought was that they had been trolled or attacked or that something terrible had happened in their life because this person is so passionate about their writing. It wasn't any of that. Engagement with their works has been going down, as it has for many of us. Comments are like gold dust a lot of the time, and just looking through the historical comment counts on old fics on ao3 demonstrates this trend very clearly. It was not simply the comments dropping off which caused them to decide to stop posting, however.

My friend came across a discord server for their fandom (I should point out here that their fandom interest and mine diverged a couple of years ago, we stay in touch but don't currently read each other's posts because I'm not into their fandom and they would rather gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon than read anything Star Wars) and specifically to share fic in that fandom. They joined, because we all love a good fic rec, only to discover that their latest multichapter fic, which has almost no comments and very few kudos, is being hotly discussed in this server as one of the best stories ever. Not one of these people has bothered to say this to them on the fic. When they asked, none of participants could see the point in telling the author of the fic they apparently loved so much that they love it.

This discovery has absolutely destroyed my friend's love of sharing fic. They share because they love seeing other people's enjoyment, and fic writers do that through comments and kudos/reblogs/likes because we don't get paid. There is no literary critic writing a blog post/article about how amazing the story is for us to copy and keep/frame. There is no money from royalties. All we have are the words of the people reading our works.

Those people on that server could have taken five minutes of the time they spent gushing about how amazing my friend's story was to other people and used it to tell the one person guaranteed to want to hear that praise how much they loved it. They could have taken a moment to express their opinion to the person who spent hours upon hours plotting, writing, editing, and posting those chapters. Instead, they deprived my friend of thing that keeps them sharing their writing, and in the process have killed their love of it. My friend now feels used and unmotivated.

I won't be sharing a link to their fic, they said I could share their experience but not their identity. I know they plan to post one final chapter. I know they intend to express their hurt at being excluded from the praise for the thing they created, and I know they intend to announce that as a consequence they will not be posting for a long while, if at all.

So please, I beg you, don't hide your love of a story from the writer. It's just about the only thing we have.

Welp

Now its only the drawing part until this fic is over

Im excited but also kinda scared of what will come right after

Thank you for giving it a chance, it really means a lot to me

I hope this isn't going to be the end for their story though, I still have a lot more stories to tell~

And also you can look through all of the chapter covers by clicking the links to the posts down below~ (will update the list once I finish the rest)

First | Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | Sixth | Seventh | Eighth | Ninth

You know... Maybe having a family isn't so bad, eh, Goro? (I hope u'll enjoy ur read!)

I'm not too proud of this one, but hey, it still means that the 7th chapter is out! Also bonus little illustration (that gave my drawing tablet a screen burn which is the reason I finished the illustration only today)

Thank you everyone for supporting my art, it means a lot to me! (and thanks to everyone who voted on that shuake poll lmao)

Akechi agrees to accompany Ume to a place where their relationship first took a sharp turn. I wonder what might happen..?

Thank you so so much 😭

We might've not gotten 100 hits on my fanfic before New Years, but I'm still glad it managed to get even some attention.

The next three chapters had already been written (while I was bedridden) so I will just have to make more chapter covers before posting them!

You can still help me reach my goal of 100 hits on Ao3 if you're interested! But the longer "thank you" note is going to be under the cut.

Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

Despite how critical I may be of myself, posting my creations - that are so tightly connected with my OCs online and seeing people enjoy the content I create with them - was the best decision I've made all year.

I want to thank everyone who spent even a little of their time checking out my OCs' content this year. It gave me motivation to continue what I enjoy doing.

To be honest, I've started creating these OCs for my character design courses at the start of 2024, and I've did an immense amount of work from February until now and I really hope that it will end up evolving further and capture an audience going into 2025.

Hopefully when this fanfic ends it won't mark an end of my characters' journey. So, if you want to support me and see where my motivation leads me - you are more than welcome to follow me.

I will try to not disappoint you. Thank you again. I'll see you next year!
