Does „revamping the same AU into a dozen different sub-AU with marginally different events“ still count as one?
You already know what the fuck is going on
New Chapter of ‘An Anthem to Time’ is out - sorry for the long wait, I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 6 - A little bit of both
Summary: The pace picks up and the puzzle of the past begins to unfold.
-> Read from the beginning: Prologue - Life is a rollercoaster -> Check out the AATT Lore Post for further info about the story
Have a taste, click this.
Hanamaki rarely thinks about what he does, it has always been like that. He is simply an instinct kind of guy.
What he says, what he does, it all follows the impulse his guts give him. Even in court, he never starts a trial with a plan. He likes to see how the mood swings and then just go with the flow, steer his boat into the current that will get him closest to his goals.
That is how he has managed to earn an outstanding reputation as a lawyer, how he never disappoints and never gets disappointed. If you don’t have a fix goal, you can’t miss it!
Especially in his youth, people have criticized him for lacking both spine and motivation and to be totally honest: They were right.
Takahiro isn’t ambitious, he isn’t high-flying and he certainly isn’t pretentious. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be sharp, intelligent or determined.
In fact, he is very determined right now!
“Come on”, he grunts out, putting all his bodyweight into the push.
“This tickles”, Iwaizumi smirks, that arrogant ashole.
“Fu.. fuck you, Hajime”
“Are you even trying?”
Hanamaki chooses not to spit into his face and rather concentrate on breathing.
“This is ridiculous”, he can’t help but whine all but a minute later.
“God, I am getting so horny”, Oikawa has the nerve to bite down on his knuckles. Suga gracefully decides to put his hand over their friends eyes.
“Then think of something gross”, he informs him.
“Like what?”
“Dead animals? How your bleach rails smell in the morning?”, Issei offers and gives his pan an expert swing. The onions fizzle and Hanamaki has to gag.
“Please just shut up”, he whimpers, the muscles in his biceps about to burst. He is going to leave one hell of a gorry splatter on Issei’s couch.
“Then hurry and get this over with, Wok is almost done”, his partner calls over.
“With tuna?”, Iwaizumi turns his head towards the kitchen.
“Yes”
“Fuck yeah”, and with his face brightening up like a six year old’s, who has just been given permission to have unlimited candy for an entire week, Iwaizumi slams his hand into the table, like Hanamaki, putting all his effort into fending him off, isn’t even there and declares: “I’m starving!”
Takahiro groans and collapses over his weak and sore arm.
Yes, he follows his instinct but that by no means equals being calm and structured, like some people assume. No, most of the times it gets him into stupid, messy and fucking glorious situations. Like not being able to beat his friend at armwrestling in over 16 years and still not being able to give it up.

My 2019 Art Summary (damn I was really lazy this year -.-’’)
-> Template by AsterianMonarch on DeviantArt -> Click HERE for the full pieces -> Summary from 2018
So I decided to do (sort of) a redraw of an old piece I did back in July 2018. I think I really improved on art and yeah - this was really fun to do!
Characters are my fursonas, art and characters were created by me - don’t steal, trace, copy or heavily infringe!
Saints, the big mood
Every time, man
AATT Lore Post
Hello and thanks for tuning back in with me.
While writing the latest chapters I realized that I never bothered to explain the lore of this AU before, so that is what I am going to do now.
There isn’t really much different, other than the main ‘quirk‘ that makes it an AU: Suga went to Aoba Johsai and not to Karasuno.
Other than that, there are (so far) only two things that I realized might need further explaining.
1st) The High School Time Line
In this AU I decided, for plot sake, to put one more year in between the canon second and first years, so that eg. Daichi, Asahi and Kiyoko had already graduated when Hinata, Kags and co came to Karasuno - so they never met.
I know that this way there is a small plot hole concerning Kageyama’s and Oikawa’s rivalry but I am currently thinking of a way to patch it up.
This, unfortunately, also means the First Years have become a little irrelevant for the story and will therefore, except for a few exceptions, not make an appearance. So far Yamaguchi, Yachi (because they are precious) and Lev (because I am a desperate LevYaku whore) safely included into my concept, as for the others I am still looking for opportunities to introduce them.
2nd) The Setting
Originally I planned to have AATT set in either Saitama or Tokyo (or just any other big city that isn’t Sendai) but then I realized, I was too lazy to read myself into Japanese city structures and constantly fumble with google street view, to make descriptions and routes accurate. (Yes, you may hate my lazy ass, but eh, writing this is supposed to be fun, so I do what I want *insert evil laughing*)
So I decided to simply add another big city to the country. In my head I drew a line through Yokohama and Tokyo and then somewhere around the same latitude as Saitama, I dropped my new cultural epicenter for the boys to wreck havoc in.
It doesn’t have a name, so for now it is just “The City“ (da da da dam *drumroll*).
So, thats it so far, I hope I was able to bring a bit of light into the darkness.
Should further Lore appear I will add to this post.

My @teamkarasunozine came in today and I am in love <3 This saved my day
Daichi already found a home on my university bag - he gets along splendid with Simon‘s Cat ;)
Please excuse my horrible 11pm doodle but thank you so much for this amazing zine and all the effort you put into it! (This of course also applies to each and every contributor ^-^)
- Greetings from Germany
When you make half a dozen Halloween doodles during your finances lecture and forget to draw any of them before the 31st, because you have hit an endless creativity slump and when you finally manage to do something (that should really be studying for your god damn finances lecture, but noooo, that would be too convenient brain, wouldn’t it!) it turns into this.
Idk anymore.
Art & Character by me - check out more of my art on DeviantArt
my art, slapping me mercilessly: stop pretending that a simple box of color counts as a background you stupid sonuvabitch u stupid motherfucker stop it
me, spitting out blood: w h ,,at if it had a gradient tho,,
Sawamura Daichi has not exactly had a live according to his teenage plans.
But just when he thinks he has hit absolute stagnation a certain silver haired whirlwind comes crashing into his flower shop, a minute before closing time and with an interesting request.
It all spirals from there on.

Or: What if Suga didn't go to Karasuno but to Seijoh & they met years later trough coincidence
So I am exposing myself to the infinite humiliation of publishing some of my writing
I am looking for feedback and criticisms
Okay so basically I have two ways to approach this.
On that is just me being a petty sucker for love and the other a little more… scientific.
So what if we had them going all the way to ‚properly‘ - which I just assume is kissing and/or sex.
For one Kaz shows that he is starting to work on his trauma by holding hands with Inej at the end of CK.
And Inej with her backstory at the menagerie it‘s like: Bruh, don‘t get me started on how she must feel about sex!
So they both just start to tackle their individual problems slowly, which is absolutely fine (and possibly leaves room for a third book).
But they are just so darn hecking cute together I want them too smooch for pete's sake!
(As I said I just am sucker for love in a well developed story)
And so, the let us say ‚scientific‘ reason I think they are ‚only‘ holding hands at the end of CK (appart from a possible third book) isn‘t Kaz character but Inej.
Kaz is shown in his flashback scenes that he actually tried before to live without the gloves (with that other girl, sorry I forgot her name, that he was collecting fight bets with). He just choose not to, because working through his trauma was getting in the way of business and that was simply more important to him and his big revenge scheme. So I think if Leigh had just started to ‚rehabilitate‘ Kaz just a little earlier in the books she could have comfortably made him confident enough to go out ‚properly‘ with Inej by the end.
And that is why I think It‘s actually about her and her past as prostitute.
Idk how to explain this but at least to me, Inej might be trying to work through her history but even close to the end she is still terrified by the menagerie.
She is not like Kaz, who sort of choose to just go along with his trauma, she is still somewhat in it‘s thrall.
So that will just take a lot more time to unravel and she is only just beginning with it.
Sure she stuck her middle finger into Tante Heleens face but isn‘t that the exact reason why she wants to be a pirate and fight? To work her way through the trauma?
To become stronger? Strong enough she can leave the nightmares of the menagerie behind once and for all?
So in conclusion
*Clears throat after typing a lot of probably unnecessary explanation that got kinda of topic at the end*
Leaving aside my petty desires and also I my imminent need a Wesper/Kanej double date because fu** you, that is my jam!
*nervous sweating*
I don‘t think it would have been realistic for Inej to make that step, even at the end of CK.
Which is just a too long explanation of: I want it, even though it definitely doesn‘t fit into the novel!!
So I am glad Leigh didn‘t actually let them get together ‚properly‘ - and here come my big big hope - yet.
(Even though it would have been just so cute *silent sobbing*)
Also @arin-saintsforsakencity - no problemo ;)
Oh man so a couple days ago I met a high school teacher who had read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and she had the coldest fucking take I’ve ever heard despite being otherwise a very smart, sensitive person. I knew she had read them and I was so excited to talk about my close readings of metaphor and subversion/reinforcement of racial tropes and all the other stuff I’ve never quite managed to type up. So I asked her what she thought. And she said.
She said that she wished Kaz and Inej had been able to “properly” get together at the end of CK and I almost choked on my fucking orange soda. I’ve never been so let down by a literary opinion in my entire life.
I managed to argue with her a little but her heart wasn’t as in it as mine was. I’m so disappointed. So yeah if you hold this same bad opinion, this is an open invitation to hash it out with me.
Take your time and spoil yourself
(I really don‘t know how my pride month doodles turned into this but eh - I like it. Also like style experiment 3.984.643.893.645 but shhhhhhhh)
Accidentially made a little artsy thingy by changing the background colour while doing a final check on all layers and opacities - as one can see I had a lot of fun goofing around with this one.
((Character and art made by me, don‘t use in any way (the picture used in the background is also mine!))
Jusssss 👋🏼
Currently fighting my way around a pretty stubborn creativity block - this kind of just.... happened.
Levia vs. the Art Block

Been like forever that i did a traditional piece - also sort of style experiment? Idk anymore
(Pls ignore that hind leg - my little sister barged in while i was lining and i slipped)
Also introducing my second sona Leviathan to Tumblr. She’s my demon and a snarky girl (secretly she just wants to be petted but she’ll chew off your hand in the process)
Art was made by me / Character also belongs to me! Dont use!
New Screen Saver feat my Sona Charlotte 😏
Wanted to have something that I can ‚update‘ so I took my favourite pictures from last year and made different backgrounds & intend to add lots of new ones with every trip I go on this year.
