little robo kitty maid streamin and beamin into your brainwaves~
i was created to serve! but my passion is entertainment.
512
A while ago I had this vision for an asushin AU (set within the canon timeline), I would share it with you, but to be honest I don't want to share it publicly at this time hahah... so maybe if I share it, could you keep it to yourself?
what qualities do you look for in a friend? what makes a friendship last for you? are friendships important to you overall? is it easier to make friends in japan or in us? or do you prefer online friendships?
i dont know.. i guess there are some red flags for me.. ill preface this by mentioning that im an extremely private and solitary person by most standards. so on the rare occasion i became close to someone, it was different every time. but people who are really intense right off the bat are a red flag for me. sometimes you can be passionate with another otaku, this isnt what im talking about. more like when they share a lot abt themselves, prompting youto share, showering you with praise and affection... sending super long ass messages about feelings and stuff. at first it feels really good to get attention, but they always have some ulterior motive behind this. you can be vulnerable to this when youre lonely and feeling misunderstood, whcih is sometimes me. but everytime i talked to a person like this it ended in disaster. related to that is people who are really sensitive or taking random shit personally or needing reassurance all the time. it stresses me out and makes me think i should be doing the same with them, which i dont wan tto do. so it becomes, as said in japan, mendokusai and id rather be alone type of situation. so a degree of emotional distance for quite some time is needed before we can really become friends, and 100% of the time its forged in the fires of fandom for something, becasue we are revealing a lot of ourselves and being vulnerable, but also playing, and also not being about ourselves or each other, so its safe. friendships are important to me but i wouldnt say theyre important to the world that much, the world wants you to place lovers and family above friends, and most people follow this closely. my freindships are important to me. but i rarely talk to my friends directly at the same time. its a situation where we could hang out anytime with no problems. but as with all relationships, i am passive. its hard to make friends everywhere but id say the bar you have to clear as a foreigner in japan is higher than what i experienced in the US by far. but i didnt have many friends in the US, either. the only friendships I have are online.
hahah, i think my question was unclear or misunderstood... i meant better seen and known, as a person? having your soul seen? Not as in, followers or likes
You’re not active in the fandom anymore but you will always be remembered by me as a true Komaeda understander. His main appeal (moe point) is that he is severely physically and mentally unwell. You always drew him like he was about five seconds away from dropping dead and I appreciate that so much
oh.. thank you so much! yeah, isnt it sexier when he looks sick? my main points are like, that hes a rapist (you absolutely cant put rape past him with his transgressions), hes currently experiencing an acute psychotic break, and that hes on the brink of death. as long as those traits are protected, anyone can understand komaeda. sadly, his homosexuality is all most understand
did your rebrand have to do with wanting to be better seen and known?
no i mean, my old account had way more followers. if i wanted to be seen and known id draw fan arts of popular current series, make meme posts and reply to. a. bunch of people. if anything i dont really want to be seen or known. im constantly wondering about that. doesnt it seem contradictory? well, i dunnohow you came up withthis question. but i was hoping i could do something that was entertaining that made me les lonely but without havign to draw all the time cus i stopped being able to.
do u like genderbends... are there situations where u think genderbends are sexier than forcefem/when a girl is a guy (idk the word for this cus it's not like a girl forcefem equivalent it's something else)
yeah i love genderbends and always will. im picky about them, i like them sometimes more than others, i want them done a really specific way so i usually gotta make my own. but yeah i love them. sometimes its more interesting to make a character androgynous, or swap their gender with magic, sometimes its more realistic transitioning, sometimes its, what people would call a "cisswap" and i think all are worth exploring depending on the characters. and yea i like when a girl is a guy
For da anon who asked about an "archive", there is an archive on ehentai that used to be under rury's pinned
Please please please please please more kyomoto art? Honestly I just wanna hear your thoughts on her I love her so much.. seeing her in your art was the highlight of my day
yayyyy im so happy you liked my art... and... HER... i love her so much.. i have many thoughts about her.. thoughts best drawn, perhaps? i need to study that blade a little more, but id like to see her in all sorts of states... such a lonely person is incredibly fun to play with and i also really like fujinos aloof and disaffected personality with hers... especially the way she gets mean when she thinks kyomoto wont depend on her as much, like shes just as dependent on kyomoto as the other way around, deep down... and theyre just so close, physically. right around puberty, sharing a twin sized bed... probably bathing together and stuff.. but they also have the boss/assistant relationship that is funny and hot
Hello Rury ! sorry if I'm mistaken but I remember you asking for vn reccs a while back, so I think 僕の最愛の (Boku no Saiai no) could be right up your alley :] it's free, playable on browser, short and jp only for now and features a bunch of dark tropes with a cute art style (and cute boys). If you end up trying it I hope you'll enjoy it ^^ in any case, have a good day and please keep up the good work~
Have u ever drawn anything for dororo? i actually havent read the manga or anime yet, but years ago i watched a live action and the overall idea and themes appealed to me and it seems like something you'd like.
yeah, its a really good story. the anime was pretty different from the manga but i like both, i just like hyakkimaru and dororo's relationship, so, ill watch them doing anything lol. i havent really drawn it though! im not sure, its like, what should i draw that wasnt already drawn? the manga is pretty shippy, and the anime is arguably even more romantic. im not good at emulating tezukas style, although i would like to be. it might be fun to practice landscapes or nature scenes with them i suppose.
i hope the reccommendation is well, i brought up hospice by the antlers because i thought about it in relation to grief a lot. i remember you speaking about grief and stories about it. i'd read any thoughts you have about it 👍
it was really interesting! ive never heard anythign like it. i didnt know what i was going in for but the name and cover art clearly portray terminal illness, which is, my bag. i wasnt expecting it to go with the abusive relationship, apparently which happened while the artist was very young, and all the mess that came of that. the compounding intensity of that coming with being the only person someone has as they are forced to accept their own death. I really like poetic lyrics, so i also liked that about it. i feel likeim not coming up with anything interesting to say though lol. like whatever i could say about it, its best to simply listen to it...

Loved the oreimo art. What’s your opinion on each of the main girls from oreimo? My faves are kuroneko and kirino!
yay thank you!!! i worked hard on it. ill upload a color version when its done, but i needed to show my progress since i spent a long time on it for some reason lol. obviously i like kirino bc her and kyousuke feel like , a lot like asushin to me. especially the way hes written in the light novel (hes depicted as being like their mom and excelling at household responsibilities). i dont dislike kuroneko, but i end up feeling really bad for her. i mean, she has this guy she really likes but shell always be second to his bitch sister. hurts! especially when shes home taking care of her younger siblings a lot and has a lot of responsibility herself, she just deserves better than this whole situation.... ayase is yandere and therefore based, but i can only really vibe with her when people acknowledge her obvious thing she has for kirino.. again a sad situation where she gets cucked by the girls own brother, which is ego shattering. however, this is more fun with a spoiled and mentally unstable girl like ayase. idr the pigtails girls name, idc her. bestgirl is definitely sayori. i love tall girls, i love her bigender lifestyle, her camp otaku drag. i love everything about her.
