hello I’m mar I draw gay fanart and talk nonsense. also I like Quincy a completely normal amount
512
Any random thoughts about your favs?
Blade: yknow that one moment in Lilo and Stitch when Lilo puts Stitch'es claw over a vinyl record and opens his mouth and the music from the record plays through it? Blade can do that
Garu: he got into storytelling illustration after seeing Olivine's handmade books he makes with his own stories (idk if it's confirmed or not but I want to believe)
Eiden: despite being nosy, he actually would prefer not run into Aster's staff being close and personal with each other but Somehow he always walks onto people and constantly has to backtrack while sputtering and wondering Why he happens to walk onto Aster's workers more than on his own boys
Karu: Rei let's him join into his experiments that includes explosives and because of Karu's enthusiasm Rei also ends up just quietly cackling while setting up another experimental bomb. He makes some with colorful sparks like its a firework specifically for Karu to marvel at 🎆
Im a massive fan about the way you draw the puppies, they always look so sweet and endearing
Thank you so much!! I just love our little pups a lot, every time I draw them I have to make sure they look Ultimate Cute!!
Because of my upbringing, I don't have a full understanding of church hierarchy so thanks for talking about it! (Incredibly positive and enlightened (。♡‿♡。) )
I love hearing your Deep Shit please freely talk about it, I promise I won't feel shitted by it XD. It's good to have different perspectives by people <3
Thank you for reading thru my response! And for encouraging me to talk abt this stuff more lol I just don't want to sound like a killjoy even tho I try to keep these discussions on my acct and more tucked away from people who would react hurt over things they enjoy.
I was about to say "neither do I (have a christian upbringing)" but I actually do since my grandma from mom's side was a very devoted believer and I was baptized in an lutheranian/evangelical church in Germany. I have fascination with theology and how chirstianity shaped society so yeah I like going deep and in trenches when it comes up in my interests, ESPECIALLY in an universe that has such an interesting societal order like Klein Continen has! So yeah thank you for sending your messages and reading my responses!!! I rly appreciate it 🥺💗🥺💗
Vibrates out of seat over genderbending headcanons influenced by societal norms
Omg for Dante I never thought to incorporate the shawl. I can imagine she would only wear certain ones during important events and use different fabrics along with headdress clips as subconscious signalling to the people
Olivine's modesty being nun inspired is one design I really like from the fanbase (specifically the NU Carnival Ladies artist) though I think Olivine's SSR would be way more covered up because fem!Olivine would have a higher pressure to stay modest
I was going to dump my headcanons but I should just make my own thread (≧▽≦) Please do talk about genderbend NUC!
Oh yeah I totally get why fem Oli would be a nun and being forced to be even more modest! Misogyny in Christianity has centuries of history and, considering that Faith in God of Klein is heavily inspired by Christianity I can see the similar sexist culture being replicated in it and nun Olivine having to work with her internal shame and pressure that the church bestowed her with
Buuuuuut I still prefer priestess Oli over nun Oli because of their hierarchical differences of their roles. I don't know much of church hierarchy but afaik there is a huge difference in power between a priest and a nun/monk: priest is someone who is in charge of a congregation, while nuns/monks, while being a part of a religious order, mostly serve and assist. They have less responsibilities than priests, which made me want to keep fem Oli in priesterhood, rather than making her a nun. And also the idea of fem Oli being having a lower religious title than her male counterpart just doesn't sit right with me, sorry 😬
While Olivine's internal conflicts center around his "shameful" desires while being someone who serves the God of Klein (like a monk would), his major issue is the weight of responsibilities he bears as the priest. He has the certain authority he has to maintain and that's what is forcing him to act "pure", altruistic and be an example for everyone. He can't afford being selfish because he has so many people looking up to him and the never-ending pressure coming from his fellows in clergy. All of that is what makes me want to see fem Olivine in the similar scenario with added context of being a woman with the higher religious hierarchy. Is she the only female priest in her order? How does her fellow religious workers treat her? And, most importantly, does she get the same opportunities to flash her humongous tits or no-
Ahem anyway yeah that's just where my brain goes when I think of fem Oli! Tbh I don't think you have to justify your fem interpretations of characters with any of that Deep Cultural bs I just spewed above. Or if your interpretation is based off similar analysis that is just different from mine. What I wrote about is just the way I came up with this interpretation, is all! If you enjoy nun Olivine then good for ya 👍 I'm not a hater I promise I just like thinking and talking abt shit lol
Hi! were you the artist who drew NuC body HC...? I remember seeing them on twt but I can't find them again.
Yup that's me! Here's the link to them (gosh I need to add Rei here at some point)
What are your thoughts about blade and rei ?
Okay so after Rusted Nation I was so happy to see that Rei indeed has soft spot not only for GaruKaru, but for Blade in a way too. They have a wonderful potential as well bcs Rei with his chronic illness and self-destructive patterns needs someone like Blade in his life. Blade thrives in service and he loves making his friends feel good so Rei getting aggressively loved against his will? Exquisite. Delicious. The Hurt/comfort of their duo can be sooooo tasty.
Just today I was binging almost all Zere's works and their BladeRei fic is Exactly what I imagine for them as well: Rei being defenseless against Blade's affection and letting himself lower his guard around him because Blade is... Blade. He is silly, annoying but Rei simply can't say no to his enthusiasm and it's just REALLY good
what do u think of blade x dante
First and foremost anon i need to repeat like a broken record that i love Blade with every clansman + eiden and familiars.... He bounces off everyone really well just like GaruKaru do!!! Augh h hhhh I love Bladie so much..
Second of all yea so ofc I'm Absolutely obsessed with Dante and Blade's dynamic bcs it's the good ol the grumpy and the happy-go-lucky one combo. Every time I see them together on the screen I know we gonna have some good laughs because Blade makes fun of Dante so effortlessly and Dante's jabs always miss Blade in turn. It's SUCH a delight to witness, it never gets old to me and I dream of an event with them two
it’s really so nice to see the VAs express how much they love the game 🥺🥺🥺 garu’s VA gushed about it on one of his YouTube videos too he couldn’t stop saying how cool Dante is 🥺🥺🥺
OMG WHATTTTTT HE HAS A YOUTUBE CHANNEL??? and his fave is Dante??? Omg… this recent event WAS MEANT TO BEEEEE
But yeah honestly I’m just so happy to see everyone involved in the game just having lots of fun working on it. It translates well into the source material! I hope everyone is getting a crazy bag and aren’t crunching too much 😭🙏
Feel free to ignore the following, I totally understand!
I apologise for bringing up old troubles, but were you ever able to come to a mutual understanding with Yulia? I follow both of you and was surprised when your discussion of Kuya resulted in some unkind words being directed at you. Ironically, I think Kuya himself would have enjoyed being the catalyst for a dispute, but I don't know if I feel comfortable supporting someone (not you!) who let their love for a character enable disrespect towards a fellow human being.
Sorry again for the disturbance. I hope you have a lovely week!
Hey hey! I was thinking about keeping a low profile re:kuyapocalypse to not stir the pot but tbh fuck it we ball, I will spill a bit of tea abt the aftermath of that mess
After the curfuffle died down, Yulia dmed me and well… lets say that we did not have a fruitful discussion lol. I guess I failed at talking civilly with her bcs I tried and in response she seemed to channel her inner Kuya and be dismissive and passive-aggressive. Either way, i apologized and she did not, so after couple of long ass messages from both sides I decided that I no longer want to deal with her nor want her to follow me so I just softblocked her 🤷 Maybe she misunderstood me, but I felt disrespected so I just cut her off.
You can make your own conclusions, but I also don’t think people shouldn’t support/follow her just because she was a weirdo to me. You’re free to enjoy the art of whoever you want, but I personally have her muted so there’s that
I know its early but 👁️ 👁️ most likely blademond event parf 2 in april…
HHHH ANON I RLY HOPE SO AUGHGHHHH I miss my sillies… maybe a spring themed event? 🥺 MAYBE BOTH EDDIE AND BLADE IN DRESSES AUGHGHHHHGHH…
I keep thinking about Blade worshipping everyone's body in the clan in a non sexual way. He'd shower them in praise and beat down all their insecurities with one "cute!!" at a time. Just Blade loving everyone and the clan appreciating him and his honesty
Anon please do know the moment I saw this I was consumed by thoughts only about Blade showering everyone in praise so please do know I doodled like bunch of scenarios for this
Hmmm cute HCsss nu hits me in a very specific poly love, Eiden being the centre and the way he shows his love to all of the lads is unique, even the ones who are more closed off. The sweet way he works with Yakumo to open up and be more comfortable, teasing Edmond to get him to be more emotionally open
YES...like yall know I'm a huge polyclan truther but its Eiden who is the heart of it!!! I'm amazed by the guy's ability being So chill with everyone, albeit I do want to see some long-lasting conflict between him and clansmen... like ooooh I CRAVE the moment when he would get caught in being dismissive of his own negative feelings and being too good at putting a smile on!! We did see that with Garu catching him in ABO event and with Quincy during the Festive Glimmer but I WANT MOREEEEE I WANT EIDEN TO RELY EMOTIONALLY ON HIS BOYS!!!
But besides that, yes, tbh out of all canon ships my heart flutters over EiOli and BladEi the most (maybe bcs I relate to Blade and Olivine the most LOL). Eiden being the part of Olivine's path of letting himself loose and relax and be selfish is just so... So GOOD!!! And with Blade Eide n is also as understanding and patient with him as Blade is figuring out his emotions and his past abandonment...
I am very intrigued about how the character development will go from now on, considering that even Kuya is starting to be more affectionate with Eiden and get along with others... I wonder what other issues the game will tackle and let the boys go through together!
about the brainworms... i can't stop thinking about kuya napping in front of the fireplace from the kleinmas event!! i really need some more cuddly, pillow princess-ish kuya in my life... devs pls give us more kuya napping!! also that one comic where kuya chills on a cat bed, its so cute!!! kuya deserves a human sized cat bed lol
I looooove love love when Kuya gets comfy and eepy like not only he looks cute, he's also quiet for Once lol
I rly do wonder how comes that his place is Not all covered in pillows all over. Is he so uptight with himself that he won't indulge into comfiness in the comfort of his own home? I like to imagine that Aster's mansion is the place he actually relaxes at and feels secure enough to be a eepy lil guy, even if he's seen by other clansmen or mansion's staff. Maybe because its them he doesn't mind lower his guard a little bit 🥹
hello this is trans quincy anon and lmfaoo??? that dude was so WEIRD...
"Quincy is the last person to be transgender in any form" made me laugh so hard. why couldn't he be!!! they kept saying that our rep needs to come to us for a reason, like our existence needs to make narrative sense to be approved. we deserve to exist in art without having to justify ourselves.
quincy's fat and trans and hairy and he just like me fr!!! you should find joy in seeing yourself in the characters you love!!! why are you putting down people that want to love your traits!!! your quincy art made me feel so much joy about the way my body looks because i saw someone shaped like me being desired. i hope that love reaches you more than their weird spite, mar. trans anon man out :)
⚠️This and the following text are back from 2 months ago when I received this message abt my fat and trans Quincy art being "fetishistic"
Another anon wrote:
so sad to see that guy say thry're trans and fat themself. genuinely hope they can heal in the future and learn that bodies like theirs can be desirable and lovable :(
This is what breaks my heart the most as well. Like, thing is, I am wholly aware of my self-indulgent horny art is rather niche and i know majority of ppl in nukani fandom overall either give zero fucks about what I do here or think that I'm making the character look "ugly" or whatever. I'm aware of all that but I do not care because I don't post my art for them. And ESPECIALLY not for cis people lol. I draw it for myself and post it for 10 or so other sickos who like what I do. I won't even call my character portrayals groundbreaking or overtly horny either??? I'm just doing my own lil thing here and am happy to share w others who would enjoy whatever queer fuckery I cook up on my drawing tablet.
But... it does make my heart ache when trans ppl see their bodies in fanart and feel like it isn't justified or the characters should look only their "canon" way bcs it is what i used to think as well. I used to be SO ashamed in what I find attractive or that I need to follow certain conventions to make "clickable" fanart?? While in reality there is literally no rules. Who cares about the canon?These are effin pixels. Do whatever you want! Treat them like Barbies!! Draw the charas in any way you want! Run free, have fun!!! This is what I'm trying to tell myself and do because I like having fun and I know there are ppl out there who struggled w these things as well. But we all deserve to be self-indulgent! Be cringe, draw charas as yourself, draw charas kissing u!!! There is no rules when it comes to actually harmless fun lol
Gamer Quincy anon here;
He would play stardew valley, Minecraft or harvest moon but only with everyone else. Blade will say "let's play Minecraft! Pretty please" and Quincy will say "sure" and that's the only reason why this boomer plays games
YES. YES YES YES he knows about games only because Eiden, Blade, Rei and Garukaru are really into gaming to various degree
While eiden and garukaru have more of a standart taste in games, Blade pulls out some weird ass indie games from the depths of steam and eShop and Rei is absolutely into the most ruthlessly difficult touhou games lol
