I've Finished The Sequel/afterstory For My Binary Star Hero Fic- Y'know, The One All The Fanart I've

I've finished the sequel/afterstory for my Binary Star Hero fic- y'know, the one all the fanart I've done was for?- but now I'm delaying posting it because I have this idiotic notion in my head that my fanfics should have cover art for no reason other than the fact that I've been doing it for years. Don't know why I do it, it doesn't accomplish anything, but that awful voice in my head says "this literary work isn't complete without a visual representation of its themes".

Y'all got that dog in you? Well, I got that perfectionist in me and I wish I could take it behind the shed with a shotgun.

Maybe I'll just do the cover later...?

So, years ago, I was super into Fire Emblem Heroes. I played that shit religiously, almost from day 1. I loved the idea of it, that characters from older games and the less popular ones from newer games might get new art and voice lines. I played for so long, hoarding my orbs like a dragon, in hopes that characters I liked would get alts, and when the whole resplendent thing happened, that they might at least get skins.

I was sorely mistaken, and I uninstalles the game once fallen!Edelgard made it clear that my hopes for a fallen!Gunter were as misplaced as people in hell hoping for ice water. But before I purged FEH from my heart, I'd drawn respendent alts for my most used units. I posted them on Reddit, but now I'm posting them here (these are the digital color versions- each image started life as a pen and paper illustration that I'll upload when I can find them)

Hel!Gunter is the canon one- I just wanted to try making a masculine fairy design. I DO actually have proper Ljósálfar and Dökkálfar resplendents/alts (just pen drawings, no digital) and a Niðavellir and Joutun design. I might finish/polish them one day.

(You can probably guess the theme for my old default arena/aether raid team~♡)

I am also a fan~♥︎

im a fucking sucker for the “character gets so badly injured that they can’t think clearly and start calling for help in a distressingly vulnerable way.” characters who start using nicknames for their friends they haven’t used since they were kids. characters who start begging for their brother they haven’t seen in years to be there. characters who would usually use their parents’ names or call them mother/father/etc crying out mama when they go down. u understand.

man this piece of media i like that's bad and sucks would be so cool and awesome if it wasnt bad and didnt suck. unfortunately,

Literally thought this the entire time I was suffering through season one, just "I would actually enjoy this setting and these characters if the story was about this middle aged man juggling being a hilariously out of touch "how do you do, fellow kids" teacher with being the most badass superhero to ever exist. Show me Toshinori trying to incorporate memes into his lessons- and using the most cringeworthy ones possible- interspersed with the most hardcore fight scenes ever animated!"

Basically what I wanted was the SWE's Abridged MHA, but with All Might as the main character. But what I got was... *shudders in disgust* NOT that.

bnha would be 9999x better as  a slice of life comedy centering around the teachers literally the #1 hero in the fucking world starts working at a highschool surrounded by coworkers that GREW UP LOOKING UP TO HIM and one of them JUST HATES HIM TO HIS FACE even though he ADMIRES HIM BEHIND HIS BACK and he gave his power to some random kid WITH A HAIR its fucking FUNNY!!!!!! THIS IS ONLY MEANT TO BE FUNNY WHY does it go SO  ‘ohh im deep..im epic..this is an epic deep story’ shut up bitch show me all might get ipad

The story this pic was drawn for? It's done. I'll be updating daily.

"All I ask is that you stay with me until the end of the world. It doesn't matter if it's a month, a week, an hour from now- I want to spend the time I have left on this mortal coil with you, Sunshine."

Teaser image/soft cover for my next Binary Star Hero fanfic (it's taking forever because life and also, I've never written slice-of-life fluff before?). It's an epilogue/after story for the immediate aftermath of my first fic, Syzygy.

(Went with a different inking style because while I like digital sketching just fine, I just can't find a rendering style I'm comfortable with. I need a brush and ink in my hand😭)
