The Request I Had About Ballerina Ochako Had A Spontaneous Addition And I Was Happy To Draw

thoughts on Ochako's hero costume design

her character was clearly intended to be heavily astronaut-inspired. she loves astronomy, her quirk resembles open space, but the only thing that gives me vibes from her hero suit is the HELMET which wasn't even shown very often before they got rid of it entirely

and just imagine if her suit was really after an astronaut's, it'd give so much to her shape language, even more bubbly and round and more Uraraka, we deserve it guys!

but Hori decided that giving her a sexy look (gross, can we talk about sexualizing minors again?) was more important than making the design work better

I plan a few big things in terms of writing, so I needed to write down a few key points about this blog in advance (I'm not a good writer, but the ideas they're there anyway, I need to share)

I plan to write something on this blog once in never, so I need to clarify some things so I don't type it all down every single time.

I'm an average Toga Himiko enjoyer. She's not my favorite character ever, and I understand why some people don't like her, but she's my favorite character to draw. I think this kind of love is valid too.

Ochako Uraraka doesn't hold much of my interest (even if socionics says she'd be my ideal partner, heh). But character interaction is cool, so I'll include her in my content too, just don't think it's out of pure undying love (she's a sweetheart anyway).

I DON'T ship togachako (I rarely ship characters in general), but I like every single piece of content about them and find the whole dynamic fascinating. So yes, I'm willing to contribute, just... on the platonic side.

Some things I say about the characters may sound as overly critical or dismissive. It's not to offend the characters, or fans, or anyone else, I just point out flaws where I see them (being my usual blunt self). Just remember that a bad person doesn't mean a bad character specifically (works both ways).

I don't say the way I see the characters is the only right one. Quite the opposite, I always see them through the prism of my experience and knowledge, and it's The Charm about studying and loving things. I'm always willing to learn more and discuss. Discussion in particular is my favorite thing.

I respect your tastes. I don't aim to offend you. So please, save the peace of mind for us all.

Chill. And enjoy what we create together here.

dividers are created by me if you're curious

MY TIME HAS COME

MWAHAHAHAHHAH (ma darlings 🤧🤧🤧)

What about Ochako Uraraka and Toga Himiko as Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter

Literally this (I know toga would be more suitable for Vi's role as she comes from a criminal environment too but THE EYEPATCH)) lmaooooo

I don't know if I can ask for too much but please someone draw togachako like the caitvi from arcane please

they're SO THEM, I can perfectly imagine togachako as caitvi

himiko as Circe

I HAD SO MUCH FUN RESEARCHING THIS OMG THANK YOU SM!!!

I'm no Greek mythology nerd, but any goddess with transformation powers and golden eyes is definitely Himiko-coded

And oh how gorgeous the classic art on Circe is just- AAA

I found out that @giltine13 is hosting a cool drawing challenge this October and thought: "oh wow, I can make it about Himiko yay!"

Reaptober Day 1 – Eyes

I'm not sure if I'll be able to draw for every of the prompts, but fun is fun I suppose Σ(゜゜)

Realized I had free will today, so I did a quick and low effort doodle of bald Dabi.

Baldi.
