No bc like why would I make up an Velaryon oc… when rhaena and Baela are right there

My brother recently got into Demon Slayer so I wanted to make a kny oc for him since I did it before with both me and my sister and never got around to my brother :)

But I started by refreshing my own design because wow?? It’s been 4 years since I first made my kny insert character and a lot of things are now outdated! Not to mention my art has improved a lot, I hope. More details under the cut!

Meet Ebisu Koharu: youngest of the Ebisu family and physically the weakest. They only barely passed Final Selection by hiding for the entire week and surviving off tips from their older siblings. Nonetheless, they still want to contribute, which is why they hold onto a thick, leather bound book that records every demon they’ve ever met in precise detail, with labeled diagrams and scribbled calculations in the margins of different strengths and weaknesses.

After spending a few years on the job, and properly seeing their data contribute to the successes of other demon slayers, they’ve come a bit more into their own as a competent researcher and fighter, though they still do tend to request paired missions with friends and family to act more as a support role rather than a fighter.

The Ebisu family is one of scholars. The eldest daughter Kaoru is a doctor, and the eldest son Shougen is a chemist. By nature, fighting is not necessarily their strong suit, which is why their family breathing style and techniques are all poison-assisted. Of the three, Koharu is the weakest and most averse to combat— they wield a short half-length blade, with more of a smooth ceremonial hilt and sheath than any practical weapon.

All That's Left follows two journalists and their friends in post-apocalyptic United States as they travel from the fallen east coast megalopolis Opportunity back to Los Angeles, crossing through a harsh wasteland overrun with zombies— only to find out that there is a lot more life left than what the protected cities want them to believe. On their journey they meet dozens of people living their lives as peaceful as possible away from military forces, corporations, and corrupt governments; and they learn that the same mutated ghouls that took down Opportunity are spreading rapidly through the country, destroying everything in their path. Will this finally be the end of the world as we know it?

these are the type of thoughts i have while eating breakfast ASDASD

The Bear, S2E6, Fishes & The Bear, S2E9, Omelette // “Fall Out Boy Forever” from They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, Hanif Abdurraqib

pallas in book one is definitely at it-cannot-possibly-get-worse-than-this ABSOLUTE rock bottom but god. there is such a specific flavour to their despair in book two that only happens because of the realization they have at the end of lay me down. like. how do you move on after admitting that everything you believed in was a lie. how do you live with what you’ve done (with what has been done to you). is it possible to pull yourself up out of the pit you’ve dug. what do you do if it isn’t. what do you do if it IS. and once you look at the damage how do you stop looking. past the first layer of hurt there’s just more and more hurt and you were used by the one person who was supposed to keep you safe to cause even MORE pain and no matter how deep you go none of it means anything! it never meant anything at all!! motherfucker your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it took me 3 years to start reading the ballad of songbirds and snakes because I was very cynical about a villain prequel that kinda sounded like a cash grab, but it only took me 2 days to finish it. this is a really, really good book. holy shit. Snow is such a good villain protagonist. I called him a terrible person as quickly as chapter two and he still managed to elicit some sympathy (granted, from me, notorious villain stan). But that didn't change the fact that he was a terrible person the entire time. What a great change from the popular 'this villain was such a good person before!' prequels we often see

Do mechanites cry?

watching the last episode of a series we've never seen and trying to guess what all has happened

Oc aged up? Redesign? Doodle

i hate going outside bc im reminded of how alone i am. everyone else are with their family or friends or partner. im always on my own. all alone.

On the topic of manwha, are there any titles you'd reccomend?

Like you I prefer enemies-to-lovers and dubcon in stories too so if you have any recommendations I'd love to know them ☺

I've read like... well over 200-250 manhwa now - I did used to categorise them all on Goodreads, but recently Goodreads has been adding them to the category 'not a book' which I would find less hypocritical if they did the same with unpublished fanfiction, but of course...they haven't.

As a result, I kind of have to recategorise all the webtoons and manga I've read onto LibraryThing, but that makes reccing things really hard, because my ADHD makes it impossible for me to remember names and authors off the top of my head almost all the time, so I use categorisation services like Goodreads to help me out.

That being said, a lot of manhwa are enemies-to-lovers and dubcon as well, especially some of the most popular ones. I read across a lot of different genres, I suppose for ones I've been enjoying lately (but as a result many aren't completed) there's Define the Relationship (not enemies-to-lovers but alpha/alpha with dubcon), XXX-Buddy / Perfect Buddy (which is one of the best things in the whole world), Semantic Error (which is also a completed light novel and I believe a live action), Murderer Llewellyn's Enchanting Dinner Invitation, On or Off, I Can Hear It Without a Microphone / Full Volume (though I don't rate the side story at the end so I've stopped reading), Love for Sale, and B-Class Guide. I also really love Highest Order (Love so Pure) which isn't enemies-to-lovers or really dubcon, but is just a really amazingly written manhwa with one of my favourite side-stories of all-time. Oh and how can I forget Aporia, which is incredible, and idk why so many people fucking sleep on this one.

But yeah I'm probably missing like 50 recommendations. These are either ones I'm reading now or intend to reread soon. I'm not including any manga here, just webtoons / manhwa.

But that can be a good place to start! Not all of these are enemies-to-lovers and not all of these have dubcon and some have both and some have only one or only the other, lol. I go by good writing / writing that I find interesting.
