hi bllk tumblr i am returning with more kunigiri angst. (manga spoilers)
so like i am a massive loveless fan and i think their song haunting me is SOOO good in terms of a kunigami pov song post-wildcard. like here here look at some of my favorite lyrics yes?
I could climb another mountain
I could swim another sea
Fall apart again if you were next to me
'Cause it was all for you
It's a brand new day
But I can't even think straight
Got a taste of the bitter in me
Now I keep it just to feel complete
Wish that I could just fall asleep
And not wake up with you haunting me
like. like come on. "i could accomplish all these massive physical feats yet i would also collapse in front of you if you were just here. and all of it was for you." because it was. kunigami going through wildcard not only for his own ego and his goals but to see his friends and loved ones again.
"got a taste of the bitter in me" also known as the understatement of the century. kunigami is barely a person anymore, let alone his own person, he's a shell meant to house the glory of noel noa and nothing more. and of course he is keeping this lone wolf mentality going, he has no other choice. after the hell he went through, maybe it's better to just accept the philosophy that was forced on him. at least it'll make him feel human again. sort of.
and god chigiri is haunting him. it's the way they can't develop entirely separate from each other. it's the way that when we see hints of kunigami's old personality it's either because chigiri is directly there or inspiring the conversation/moment in some way. it's the way that chigiri thinks of kunigami to motivate him. kunigami is trying so damn hard to keep this wildcard persona up but the ghost that is chigiri's presence and his own past are making it such a difficult task.
i need to write kunigiri fic i think .
something something connecting matt to icarus. both of my loves whose stories and legacies have been bastardized by people who claim to know them. for different reasons of course but the sentiment still stands. i finished up my icarus poem, maybe i gotta write one about matt hm.
no bc i never see anyone talk about this and the wider implications on how that affects Every 2-4 Character aside from my irl friend. obvs matt isn't entirely free from blame but when he led the life he did because a large part of his childhood was destroyed by inpax Dating Him When He Was A Kid, how much of his later bad decisions are really *entirely* his fault
its just. I hate when aa does this, makes a story out of "oh this adult and child are in a relationship, but surprise! the child is actually the evil one!! feel bad for the pedophile!!" but at the same time it makes such fucking interesting dynamics and storylines.

Tutorial on drawing characters/OCs who have some sort of facial paralysis. It doesn't cover all possible variants because I was using mirror as my main reference lawl
Keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People 👍
Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.
Juan asks Matt to be his boyfriend as they're playing a couple rounds of Mario Kart and Matt of course says yes and is ecstatic but is also convinced that Juan chose Then to ask him because he wanted to sabotage Matt's game but in reality. No. Juan was just looking at Matt and how much he was enjoying himself and their little date night. Completely enamored. Couldn't hold the question back any longer.
A little self indulgence for me
(un)happy anniversary of matt engarde going to jail
My favourite trope has to be:
I sacrificed myself to save you. I didn't plan to survive. I burnt all the bridges. I intended to break your heart with my death, but that would be all right, because I wouldn't be around to see you. I pretended that you'll mourn me for a while and move on. I convinced myself I was going down in the blaze of glory. That my deed was appreciated. That everything was going to be all right afterwards, and I didn't need to be there to see it.
But I survived. And now I have to look you in the eye. I have to pick up the pieces of the life I shattered and figure out how to put it back together. If it can be done at all.
