You already know that Daichi sleeps like a corpse, but did you also know that he wears his sweatpants by his belly button? Yes, you knew that, admit it.

Furudate nappiest soldiers find a way to cuddle no matter what.

Daichi: “You said you’d bind yourself to me, forsaken the immortal life of your people.”

Suga: “And to that, I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. I chose a mortal life.”

Daichi: “You cannot give me this.”

Suga: “It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart.”

Either give me them happily ever after in a hobbit hole drinking tea and serving their third breakfast daily OR give me a marriage under moonlight where Suga gives up his immortality to be with Daichi, I take no in-between.

Because this took me *looks at the calendar* about 6+ months to finish [screams], here's the original for comparison:

I will now be incapable of holding a pen for the next 2 weeks thank you if you need me I'm soaking my entire right arm in hot water.

Oh, the Sawamura siblings. Better than anyone, they have trained Daichi to become a great captain and to just zen-mode in order to enjoy his food.

Daichi's notes on the four:

• Ayame (彩芽) is barely a year younger than Daichi and she seems to have been born with all the emotional perception he lacks, having always been his crutch to "undense", as she says. She got very comfortable on the middle sibling role and to an unknown can appear to be lazy and distant, repeating "not my problem" and minding her own business, usually accidentally napping where she shouldn't. She is actually the most perceptive of the five, even if she uses her powers to bribe and blackmail the others into doing her chores ("oh, mom wouldn't like to know you got into another fight, Fuu", "Dai will be so upset if he discovers your cats destroyed his socks, Nao", "DAIKI WHERE IS MY BAGPACK", "Ok, I'll make your bento today, Dai, but you'll make my bento for the entire next week, take it or starve") and to make snarky comments on the others. As amazingly as it might sound, Ayame is an excellent listener and at the cost of some favour she can even give incredibly touching insights to anyone's problems. She usually calls Daichi "Dai", or "Daichi" when it follows a disappointed note, or "Dainii" when she's using her most sarcastic superiority jokes. Though she rarely oversteps on those, Daichi is sure she does it more for the humour than to hurt anyone. She used to be in the pingpong club during Junior school and Daichi remembers she was really good at it. She changed into being part of her student's council when she entered high school, where she could sharpen even more her entrepreneur skills, never loosing an opportunity to make a good business out of anything. Probably better than any of the youngers, Daichi knows how hard working she is, choosing a competitive school, very driven by all that ambitious Sawamura soul inside of her, and even if she tries to deny it he knows she also does it to help their family and friends out. As a fact that she started to learn how taxes work right at the start of her high school to help their mother business, which both scares the hell out of him and makes him swell with pride. That being said, never let Ayame in possession of any of your secrets or you'll end up being her slave forever.

• Daiki (大輝) is the elder twin, even if everyone thinks he's the younger giving his very cheerful nature. He loves being the centre of attention and in general can be perceived as, well, a bit too much. Perfectly dramatic for the drama club he's part of since forever, with an incredible capacity to never shut up no matter how early or late, his theatre years helped him to develop a very charismatic and joyous personality, sweet words that lets him get away with almost anything, if you're not his family. Because at home everyone knows better than to fall for the smiles that try to cover his little sense of consequences. Daichi knows he's a good kid and is proud of him, even if he has to listen to him talking about all the newest school gossip. He might have given up to remember al his friends names because Daiki seems to know everyone and their mothers on his school, though opposite of Ayame, he just likes to know and passing the information forward. Daiki usually calls Daichi as just "Dai", and Daichi narrows his eyes when is called "Dainii" as it proceeds a headache. Typical human hurricane, usually gets in trouble for being impulsive and always ends up getting into bickering, specially with Ayame who has the most energy to spat back. Daichi learned to just zone out and let him talk, only bothering to do the older brother voice when he discovers Daiki overstepped himself (again). Too distractive, he can't be trusted around fire and knives, so he ends up having more laundry and cleaning chores to compensate his inability to contribute to everyone's bento. At the end of the day he just wants to connect to people, crack some funny jokes and entertain everyone. And 1k likes on his videos.

• Naoki (直樹) is the younger twin and the complete opposite of Daiki. Daichi actually thinks Naoki stands out for being very opposite of everyone in the house. Poor Naoki craves time alone and a bit of silence, doesn't have the Sawamura brand stamina, is very bad at being awake before lunch, stresses far to easily (to Daichi's worry) and actually finds joy in the slowness. Daichi thinks Naoki has the soul of those old Edo poets that spent the day admiring gardens and writing haikus about flowers. Even Daichi knows that's partially from having to be constantly besides his sun-storm twin, not finding the space to put his thoughts out and introspecting everything. Ayame keeps reminding him to spend some time alone with Naoki so he can feel cared about, she also does it but apparently the quiet Sawamura has Daichi as a role figure. The only sibling who calls him "Dainii" without second intentions, Naoki is the main reason why Daichi knows so much about fish. When younger used to read a lot about the ocean and constantly asked to go to the aquarium. Because of the intense contrast between him and the other four, people mistakenly assume Naoki is shy and helpless, and if Daichi knows something about him is that he's neither of those. The Sawamura in him hardly needs any protection, usually not caring for provocations nor being intimidated by brutality, Naoki has a low social battery but also has good friends. Is capable of mastering any skills his curious mind gets interest for, specially things that take their time and dedication like cooking or tea brewing. He can, nevertheless, get easily overwhelmed by time sensitive things and stresses when things go out of his control. He used to be part of the nap club on the school he attends with his twin, but lately he has decided to sacrifice his energy for the cooking activities, which Daichi selfishly always volunteer to try out his efforts. Needless to say that's a sibling competition and none of them hold back on compliments for the chef.

• Fuyumi (不由美) is Daichi's incognita. If Daiki is a sun storm, Fuyumi is a supernova. If Naoki has Daichi as his model, Fuyumi seems to have made Daichi her nemesis and he can't figure why or how. She just seems to be contrary to anything he does or try to do to get closer to her. Once he tried to give her all those colourful hair things her classmates all wear and he remembers Ayame also used to love, but Fuyumi just hated them and Daichi can't figure what he has done wrong. The youngest Sawamura is like a wild cat, a bakeneko herself. She has all those cute new clothes but she prefers to wear the twin's old rags, refuse to let her hair to be controlled by elastics, is in constant need of band-aids, seems to enjoy being called "little monster" by Daiki (which lets Daichi exasperated, why would she like that??) and is rarely found clean or not stinking something ominous. How can a child be so intensely against any sort of domestication? The provocations seems to be very directed at Daichi. She is actually capable of socialize (in a way too aggressive manner to Daichi's taste) and live with the other siblings, but the moment Daichi tries anything it's like a bomb explodes. Ayame says it's because Daichi has a dense and authoritative aura and that frustrates Daichi even more, neither of those are things he can turn on and off, he just is like that! The youngest has even managed to make their sibling dinner time silent for an entire awkward minute by announcing she thinks volleyball is stupid. Daichi buried his face on his hands, Naoki covered his mouth in exasperation, Daiki got miraculously wordless, Ayame simply raised an eyebrow but neither couldn't find words to fill the silence. Fuyumi looked self satisfied. She isn't a complete lost case, even tough the others have to remind him more than the other way around. Fuyumi helps taking very good care of Naoki's cats and even Kintaro. She doesn't neglect her house chores and doesn't let anyone take easy on her either, unless she is tasked to do anything near Daichi, a lesson they all already learned to avoid. She gets constant complaints from school about her aggressive behaviour, yes, but her fights are always good intended and coming from a very well adjusted moral compass considering her age. She learned all the low words reading Daiki's manga and isn't shy at all to use her arsenal of cocky offenses, but where her words fail, her actions always proves she's willing to help everyone and not let any unfairness pass by her. Unless it's Daichi related, that is. He has a feeling Fuyumi is going to grow into those unadjusted sukeban punks and fears for his life (his worries are very correct).

My pieces (cover and back cover) for the Maestro Zine ♥ Bets are open, who's gonna get hurt first?

Forehead kisses if you can guess what AU this is.

Since march I've been working on this redraw of a LotR scene (yes, I'm using my daisugafier glasses) which is unsurprisingly complicated and huge, full of plants and water and it's all dark and there's smoke and I'm not even sure what's going on at the bottom left of the scene, really.

I'm probably on the last quarter of it by now and it's been a slow work but of constant progress. I'm certainly not releasing the full size version out here on the internet as it is today and 95% of the details I've been working on will certainly be lost in the final publishing, unless I make something on redbubble.

You probably can't even see the details of the scenes if you don't have your screen on full busting 100% light.

So I'm leaving these details I like out here, a special room for their appreciation. Right column is the original reference and left column my reproduction of it.

Ok so I might have dropped everything I was doing and all my already late deadlines to work on

Cardcaptor Shouyou (& friends)

I have been slightly obsessed with the idea ever since I talked to some friends on how DaiSuga are very based on Touya and Yukito, even before I made that redraw. Yes, just after I watched Clear Card.

So here's how it goes: It's from Daichi's POV, the high schooler who works 15612618 jobs for whatever plot reason (the real reason is just so he can always be there for his lil troublemaker bro) and his ~best friend~ Sugawara he alone calls Suga who for some mysterious reason always seems to find lil Shou right before some disaster happen and save him. Ah, Daichi can see and talk to ghosts.

Yadda yadda turns out Suga is a sexy long haired angel "moon guardian" who is supposed to protect Shouyou from any harmful enemy (together with Bo) but he runs out of magic to do it so Daichi just gives his own magic and ability to talk to ghosts to Suga, but not before running into Shoyou, Yachi and then Kageyama causing some serious trouble and literally destroying the city and even after giving his magic to Suga he'll still want to protect Suga because he's the guardian angel's guardian.

Also, Suga is literally everyone's gay awakening. But Yachi.

(That's.. not the exact plot of the original CCS because it's focused on the little kids (yes, they're 10) but the original series is from the 90s and though they never really kissed it was really heavily implied that they were between a painful pinning or an obvious relationship, to an actual abstract confession at the end of the original serialization)

Happy birthday to Sawamura Daichi, congrats on, like, basically everything. Here's someone who can retire at the age of 26 because he has already contributed enough to society.

This piece was done for the For/From Daichi Zine, released earlier this year in honour of this best boy, and had me as a special guest ♥ The zine is digital only and completely free!

To his classmates Sugawara Kouharu is the cool kendo and language studies club member who always scores really high at exams and has that small but comfortable smile that makes everyone want to befriend him. But to Sugawara Koushi, his younger brother is a grumpy child he loves to pester with humour and affection, to Haru's disgust.

Haru is a competitive overachiever, wanting to be taken seriously and doesn't like to have to ask or admit help. He's a picky eater (unless it's his mother's food), and to Koushi, a weirdo one (but they accuse the other of being the weirdo of the family). Won't do anything at home that he isn't being graded for or won't help him get higher grades. Unless it's piano, the thing he has been playing ever since Elementary School and couldn't fit as a third club activity in his schedule, having to continue to study for himself. Koushi says he's spoiled, Haru says he just won't accept anything less than what he deserves (he is very much spoiled). Fiercely overprotective of his family despite always acting like Koushi is an annoyance to him, he's ready to weaponize his large vocabulary and sarcasm skills in order to keep the creeps away from his brother and mother. To him, they're both too cheerful and kind to a fault, easy to be tricked and used in malicious ways.

Koushi knows in the end Haru wants to bring joy to his family, somehow feeling responsible for everyone, and worries the extent this protectiveness can be productive for him. At the end of the day it doesn't matter how independent his younger brother really is, he's still a child that needs to be loved.

When Haru heard that Koushi wouldn't be the starter setter anymore, he held a high spite against Daichi, accusing him of having not standed for his brother on the thing he loved and trained hard for.

Daichi and Suga have long known the other, rivals at the professional art of stealing, and once again both are in a heist for the same overvalued artefact in a magical safe. Who's leaving of the castle with the treasure? Or is the real treasure the hearts they stole along the way?

What if CLAMP had drawn DaiSuga? No wait, that actually happened!

Touya and Yukito are, for me, the blueprint of the white hair+dark hair couple and DaiSuga are kind of their natural evolution. You telling me you can't see Daichi doing a thousand gigs? That you can't see Suga giving sweets to everyone? That everyone doesn't have a crush on both of them?

Although, let's be honest, if they were CLAMP something dramatic like blood sharing or vital energy donation would have happened, so I'm quite content with our happy little volleyboys who only know the ups and downs of school volleyball as pain.
