managed to defeat art block once more
absolutely obsessed with the fact that tsukki works in a museum + is still in university post timeskip because it highly indicates that he absolutely will end up living a double life. personally I am of the persuasian that tsukki goes on to get a masters / eventual doctorate in history (and/or an adjacent field, like archeology, paleontology, anthropology, you get the vibes)
but like I imagine the fucking Sendai Frogs (or any of his volleyball friends) dont exactly enjoy chatting about 9th century kings or 12th century architecture so it just never comes up. except for when tsukki tells them he's going to be missing practice because he's flying to China to a few small villages with local churches and temples to study old medical records and put together a timeline of the opiod wars in less documented places and the rest of the Frogs are just like !!!!!!!!!!! you're doing what now????? and he's just like yeah its a government grant :/ but it'll be nice to get published in this journal and then all of his teammates go home and google him and find the half dozen articles he's published that high school students are citing in their research papers
but then when he's working in the archives and reading through old newspapers a coworker of his comes down and is like "hey kei would you be able to fill in for a docent that called in sick tomorrow? we just need someone to lead a few tours" and tsukki is like "sorry, I booked that time off. the d2 volleyball league starts tomorrow." and the coworker is just like. what?
Moment of appreciation for the Build-A-Bear Bantha plush.

Listen I don’t believe for a second that Padme died from heartbreak.
I do however believe that if roles were reversed and Padme turned and Anakin was left behind.
That man would 100% die from heartbreak, no debate.
Not really an ask just wanted to say I appreciate your artistic contribution to the Wind Breaker fandom. It’s so small right now, I hope with the anime it’ll gain more attention. And I love how you draw Sakura, so squishy, so boy, so baby. Lovely work :)
THANK YOU I LOVE WINDBREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's gotta be one of my favorite if not absolute favorite currently ongoing manga series.
As for the fandom size, I'm kind of surprised it's as small as it is, even the Japanese fandom, considering how good the manga sales have been. But that'll probably change with the anime coming out, since even really famous series like dunmeshi didn't really gain a "fandom" until the anime aired. Manga as a whole is still way less popular than anime after all lol
And yes I love Sakura so much!!!!!!!!! He is my incredibly small son, my treasure, my weird sweet boy whomst I love

One thing to point out but w/ Ultimate Spider-Man, the show doesn’t start at his origin but months maybe even a year into his ‘heroing’. At the point Fury reached out to him he’d been doing this pretty efficiently and alone.
And to your last point, spidey is a teenager but also has immeasurable power. The people around him who know both sides, don’t know what to do with that. They forget he’s a teenager yet remind him of it constantly. They shoulder the weight of an entire team onto him.
Then of course his character gets disrespected by teammates and adults and yeah I’m not surprised he’s a bit jaded or spiteful.
You know I realised something today. There’s a stark contrast between the animated versions of Spider-Man/ Peter Parker and the movie versions
Like we know Peter is hella awkward and he is kind. With or without the suit, his personality is mixed with confident and awkward. But ultimate Spider-Man is a completely different breed. Most of the time rude and hella arrogant. Ultimate Peter was so spiteful it’s hilarious. Spectacular Spider-Man wasn’t quite like Ultimate Spider-Man but there are some parts worth noting.
Peter in the movies is devoted to one girl. MJ or Gwen. Spectacular Peter?? Man had four women. MJ, Gwen, that one cheerleader and mf black cat. Ultimate Peter tho was hella gay for Harry. He rather spent time with him than the gang.
Spider-Man in the movies was quite humble. They knew not to push it. Just stay as Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman. Minus Tom. He was pulled into the big leagues. He didn’t want it at first. Tom’s Spidey was hella awkward with Tony too at first. He acknowledges him as someone with high authority. Hell, he wouldn’t even think of himself standing next to Tony when suddenly the man himself appears in his apartment
Ultimate Spidey? Every time he sees Tony Stark, he is imagining himself as a higher ranked person if he is alongside Tony. But the fanboying stays atleast. You can tell he’s quite arrogant here.
Not to mention, he’s a spiteful man. I remember there was one scene he’s talking to Fury and Fury tells him not to be late. Then he’s all like “You don’t have to teach me something I already know!” or something like that. Then he storms out like a kid with a tantrum and the door closes after he leaves. Then Fury just says “Teenagers” and Peter with his enhanced hearing obviously heard that. The man opens the door, webs both sides and pulls it, smashing the door, just to prove Fury’s point of ‘Yes I’m the average teenager full of spite’
It’s hilarious.
(I just love ultimate Spider-Man. He’s so overhated.)
