Ummm… so even whilst making this I got another call from a childhood friend to travel up to Scotland and I'm actually packing right now…

I honestly hadn't planned to go basically radio silent at the end of 2023, it was simply a case of too many things, too little time and my own avoidant personality and my unbridled optimism when it comes to agreeing to things without factoring in the fact that I am but a man and not a MACHINE, and require adequate rest.

Especially coming off several years of having to plan around elective procedures, it's been my habit not to say 'no' incase I don't have the option later. AND in that vein at least I do have cause for celebration as I'm completely discharged as of this last procedure!

I managed to get a little thing, albeit late, for "almost Christmas", but it looks like2024 is going to be just as busy - at least until I can get myself back in order.

I still have so many wips and comics in the back of my cranium I am BEGGING to get onto the page; but what I'll probably do when I'm back is a little poll- to see what yous might like to see (I think? I have that functionality?)

I know I'm exptremely lucky, I've had annual leave I've needed to use up and good wonderful friends who I've been able to see (plus full sick pay which is a LIFESAVER) But also all of yous - I see comments and likes and messages (yes I DO, even tho my reptile brain fails me when it comes to REPLYING - my eternal apologies) and I'm so grateful!

Thank you so so much and looking forward to the New Year!

#those halloween comics are fuckin JUDGING me #I forgot to fill in the dialogue and now I CAN'T REMEMBER for the LIFE OF ME #maybe I'll get the done for next year #I also will FULLY ADMIT to my crimes #My bro got me heaven official's novels for xmas #I fell down a fucking HOLE of danmei #I've got so many comics aahhhh #so many messages AAAAA #gotta get back on the horse #been on so much sick leave it's kinda crazy #last one tho fingers crossed!#excited to be done with that part of my life!#Happy 2024 #mickules

Alternatively~

i was thinking about the difference between my daiya and @mickules daiya and then remembered.

my mmdaiya lost both of his legs. and he's so mentally unstable he would. probably brag about it?

#danganronpa #reblog #tea0w0stache #daiya owada #mmdaiya #honestly not a mastermind I'd ever thought of #lovin' his style tho #made me think about my daiya's injuries too #lad's lost a leg but also a buncha teeth #usually wears a prosthetic and has a partial denture #I'm also lovin' all these little interactions I need to log in more I keep missin' them

this made me laugh so hard I managed to wrench my shoulder out of place.

Plus; the consequences of their actions

many lessons were learned that day.

one day taka is super late to class and he starts panicking and mondos like "TECHINICALLY IF YOU GET ON MY SHOULDERS AND I RUN IT'S NOT AGAINST THE RULES" so taka ends up riding ten minutes late into class gladiator style

(or alternative ending where mondo forgets to duck and taka hits his head on the doorway, thus missing the entire class to get stitches)

#danganronpa #reblog #kiyotaka ishimaru #mondo oowada #they can make each other better - but lord they can also make each other worse #mondo took a calculated risk but we know that boy can't count #I'm serious about the shoulder - I've got 'manual job from young age' bad bones #I'm in agony #taka's fine tho - his head is like a rock

I missed you too

The Parent Trap

---

I ended up watching the original 1961 Parent Trap and LORD but there's a lot going on in that film. But ignoring the more . . . distressingly unhealthy 60s attitude toward marriage dynamics. . . The actual twin swap is such a good angle (and the effects genuinely hold up really well) I just wanted to capture the stress of trying to assimilate into a life so unlike your own, and that gut punch moment when they get to meet their missing parent for the first time.

And from there I just couldn't help imagine a future parent reconciliation, with a couple of siblings added into the mix . . .

Unlike in the film where they were right to have gotten divorced (and shoulda stayed super divorced)- Takaaki and Kiyoko's seperation was very much a symptom of Toranosuke's scandal and demanded by Kiyoko's father. So when they meet once again as a result of the Twin's shenanigans, the two of them could easily develop a genuine connection, now they're older, more experienced, and freed from the pressure of expectation. And I'm not immune to making every red eyed Dangan character an Ishimaru sibling

(Truth be told, this has been on my mind ever since @puckishpal 's just marvellous fic Changed, and I really wanted to get this out in time for @mini-mecha-cowboy 's Kiyotaka week prompts AU and Lookalike, but uuuh- I managed to miss that by just a few ;; )

#danganronpa #kiyotaka ishimaru #kiyondo ishida #takaaki ishimaru #kiyoko ishimaru #<-Taka's mum #(or would it be Kiyoko Ishida in the context here?)#taka is immune to takaaki jumpscares at this point #also I know peko is older but #parenttrap is so far removed from canon #and Peko and Maki as twins was too perfect #dr1 #parent trap #dangan/parenttrap #mickules #mick fnart #dangan-colourcomic-ranpan #dr1 spoilers

my last attack for @mickules !! i accidentally made a whole story with it, unfortunately the story is a bit out of .. order. thankfully though, mick knows the exact order it goes in.

it was a pleasure !! i honestly won't be surprised if i draw this silly guy more, or who knows. maybe if i get permission i can make an actual storyline with it !!

#There it is!#a cherry to top off a most magnificient cake of art!#there is DRAMA here!!#thanks again so so much -it's been an unbelievable treat #and I'm still kinda shell shocked that someone would latch onto one of my boys!#I've never really thought to post oc art; there wasn't much call for it #so I can't tell you how flattered I am!#artfight 2023 #reblog #original characters #other people's characters #artfight attack foxtail sym #(Oooo I think I've found all of them; tumblr is great at hiding things)
