We did the talk. We decided to share. We need @dailytogachako as the expert for our idea of Marilyn Monroe! Himiko Toga being the model for her favorite Ochako Uraraka???? (we're courageous but we hope we didn't bother you haha)
@lily-claw I did this, I was scared but I did this
lily reminded me, if you wanna read how this talk happened there is the og post
We togachako nation obviously have one damn braincell when it comes to such things 💅💅💅 (I personally read it yesterday so I needed to share XD)
If you're reading this and you ship togachako
Go read Carmilla
You can watch the movie of course, but don't waste your time on Carmilla (2019), it doesn't even start to cover the original plot
You can try the Terror in the Crypt (1964), it's kinda old, but the story is close to the og one
But if you have the time to read the 1872 novel you better go read it (it's only 16 short chapters)
Hey hey guys I'm not dead yay how ya been here?
I just had some rest and studied a bit
I mentioned that my ear drawing skills suck so I practiced a bit, my skills still suck but at least I understand how the thing works
It looks silly, btw I wrote about it a little, here it is:
ears! so delicate, whimsical, with thin ridges and fascinating shapes! how intricately light catches on them! I personally find ears one of the most fascinating and aesthetic parts of human body. and everyone has their own unique shape of ears, it sooo intriguing to study photos of different people. you think some for works like this, get used to the idea of drawing it one way and BAM – some actual person has it not like this at all
I wish I did this earlier
And! I did a little expression drawing experiment, of course with my baby Toga
The first attempt was with using manga panels as a reference, the second one (the pic on the right) is fixing what I had (proportions mostly) without using references at all. So I figured out my problem with references – when I use them I tend to just copy what I see, and when I don't my brain starts functioning and thinking about the structures finally (but the features become realistic and lose part of the intended emotion)
an enlightening experience (◍•ᴗ•◍)
This Himiko is my favorite, she reminds me of myself (goofy-mischievous-plotting)
Despite all the mistakes I now can see, I love this pic SO MUCH y'know
I just think like oh, so I drew this one, no, that must be someone else haha
I was pretty out of ideas for this prompt, so my mind went with tangled snakes as the background
Yeah, this is kind of a reference to the Bible (but I haven't read it so my knowledge is kinda basic)
Just think about it
Like
Himiko being the Serpent (and kind of resembling Lucifer)
Ochaco as Eve and Izuku as Adam
And
Himiko introducing Ochako to the Forbidden Knowledge that she can love gorgeous women
and BAM their lives will never be the same again
Reaptober Day 5 – Intertwined
Stuff for rus!AU tgck cuz I promised someone- (mewa sorry I took so long)
They're so cute I'd eat them both tbh
The whole lore is below the cut (loads of text yay)
Setting: a small Russian town in the middle of the early 2000s haunted by remnants of the criminal 1990s
Himiko: is from quite a wealthy family who could afford to send the girl to learn rhythmic gymnastics (which was so easy to pay for considering the equipment and all). Her upbringing was all about constant demands - better, stronger, training, diets.
Still, no matter how hard she tried, it was never enough. The only thing that Himiko got from the sport were underdeveloped body (she hasn't gained much height and remained as thin as a stick) and quite some damage to her joints that still bothers her.
Naturally, her escape from the abusive environment was a less than perfect company and some teenage rebellion. She shaved half her hair, got piercings, began smoking - all that just to get as far from the "perfect girl" image as possible. Somehow, a group of weathered criminals became more of a family to her than the people left at her old home.
These days, Himiko stayed where she could (not that she could peruse the kindness of her old friends too much), hoping to scrape by busking and selling not-so-legal stuff to schoolers. At least it was like that until she met HER.....
°°°
Ochako: is from a poor yet extremely supportive household. While her parents are slaving at work, she takes care of both the house and her disabled grandmom. Dreams of working as a police and studies hard to enroll into the police academy.
She is ruthlessly bullied at school - not that Ochako, with her ton of responsibilities, ever had time to make friends. More than that, the "teacher's pet" is never the favorite student of the class. The fact that sealed her fate was simple - Ochako is... chubby, just like any other woman in her family. It was never an issue before socializing came into view, so being harassed came across as a total shock.
Not that Ochako couldn't fight back - she's always so busy and focused on things that are actually important that the surroundings barely register to her as it is. Besides, her easygoing nature and kindness just let the things pass by, even if she honestly wouldn't mind getting rid of a few pounds...
°°°
Ochako has chosen the dark alleyways on her way back home again. It's easier, if not safer, than listening to the nasty boys calling after her as she passes.
"Fat cow" this, "fat cow" that... What's bad in cows, anyway? Cows are cute and didn't deserve to have an actual insult named after them..... Not that her classmates need a huge reason to harass anyone. Ochako just was unlucky enough to have the wrong genes.
Himiko has been observing the dark alleyway ahead for a while now. She's hoping to prey on someone weak to steal some cash for a dinner, but this far it was of no success.
The girl has been changing places for her "hunt" often enough, but this neighborhood has seen better times for sure. Still, it's early to lower her guard, and Himiko tightens her grip on the butterfly knife in her pocket as she hears someone approaching. To her surprise, it's just a schoolgirl.
Himiko checks the potential prey with a trained eye - clothes old, but certainly taken care of and worn neatly. Such a type holds little interest - parents probably don't even give her pocket money.
It is, for sure, a "good girl" - the type she can easily recognize, as she had been one herself. Now, though, this kind of girls only makes Himiko grimace with open disdain. This is the last thing she can do before the girl turns around.
Their eyes meet - cat-like gold against warm browns, and Himiko can't look away. The petite stranger is so... cute.
Go ahead why not 🤭
Every teenage girl has a phase when she imagines herself and her crush as transcendent incomprehensible space deities
So why Ochako wouldn't if she actually can
As it turns out, Love Bullet cupids can have heart-shaped scars over their fatal injury, so here's another cupid Himiko.
Tragically, cupids can't fall in love, but Himiko won't let that stop her from smothering Ochako with the love of other people in her absence. So many other people. An unreasonable number of other people. Ochako doesn't seem to return their affection but honestly? That's just classic harem protagonist behaviour.
Not like Ochako is grieving or anything...
HERE MY FRIEND ALL FOR YA
In another universe, Himiko was born as one of the most beautiful women in her village. She always attracted the attention of everyone who lived there. One day, her consent was taken from her. Overcome with grief and sadness, she petrifies all who dare to look upon her beauty again. She turns into stone all who dare to touch her again, all who set eyes on her. It's almost like something inevitable...
Where Ochako is blind.
The hands were a struggle, perspective too, but this look is so kittenish and playful like awwwwww
a tiny wip
I mean, they look kinda similar right?
