Hear me out: Hirako, but make his hair just a bit longer
I remember dropping Bleach years ago somewhere in the beginning of the Hueco Mundo arc, when it was still airing and I had zero patience to wait for the episodes to air. This year it got me back with that irresistible appeal of names and ranks and zanpakutou releases, which I somehow always crazily adored. And then Shinji's TBTP design somehow got me back to digital painting. He is like a Tooth Fairy gone wrong, with Rapunzel hair and awful posture, making horrendous faces. What's not to love?
A while back I did a piece for @douxiezine , and I guess it's about time to publish it here :)

Hello! Thank you so much, Darling! <3 I am not very active here recently, so that might be the case :)
@a-s-levynn I love your tags <3
Winter is coming.
You'll freeze off your earsies, Karim. Remember what happened to grandpa in 1954?

This is fun! Thanks for tagging me, @nikibogwater <3
I think what I find the easiest to draw is... braided hair :D it just has a flow that comes out naturally from my hand.
I am currently trying to figure out the traditional clothing and hairstyles for my OCs, and this suits the game well, so I quickly drew them:

If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and if you want, send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog ❤😉
Oh no I forgot to answer this, I am so sorry!
Hmmm three things, IDK.
- I drive a Ford Fiesta,
- which I kinda bought because I wanted to hit on a guy who is a Ford fan, so I went like "hey I wanna check this car out, and you know fords, it kinda looks like it could be your Focus's girlfriend, would you help me?"
- I literally drove the second time since I got my license that day, and the face of the owner of the car when I told him that was priceless. The face of the guy I was so subtly trying to win was also absolutely unforgettable xD
- he is my husband now so, I count this as a win 🤭
Lol does this count? XD
For the first time, he slept through the night.
@a-s-levynn is right. Misha, you've got a stunning boyfriend.
Where did you get him from, a forest?
Just a quick question Darling, you refer both to Kalim and Misha as "he" , though on the picture Karim looks more feminine, is it intentional? Please tell more about this, I'd like to understand them better ^^,
Hi Honey! <3 they are both guys, however their build is very different, which is related to the fact Misha is half human, and his dark skinned father was a big man, and it shows. Karim is definitely more feminine, and the truth is I struggle with drawing his slim features and pointed-up nose in a way that still shows he is a guy. But yeah, he is quite delicate. He definitely has a very queer vibe. Elves don't care much culturally about gender roles. In their society it's actually Michael who is unusually masculine.
I know i already know a little about Michael and Karim but just in case someone else is interested but too shy to ask, please tell us a little about them! 😊❤
🥺 in fact, you do know the more about them than anyone else ^^' thank you for asking! I wonder what I should say here, so I'll just go with a bunch of random info, so it's something new for you, too ;)
- they have a 4 years age difference, with Karim being the older one.
- their couple name is Cherry Chocolate, which comes from the nicknames they have for each other. "Chocolate" was a nickname Karim gave Michael when they were kids, because of the color of his skin (which is very unusual for elves). "Cherry" was a nickname Michael gave Karim at their pre-relationship flirting stage, when Karim was blushing red every five minutes.
- They are both quite tall, with Karim being 181cm and Michael 193cm, which means they have 12cm height difference. Their size/weight difference is way bigger thought, as Karim is very slim and skinny, while Michael is broad and more muscular.
- Karim calls Michael "Misha", and he uses "Michael" only when he really needs to reach him (like, Michael's mind tends to drift). Michael usually doesn't shorten Karim's name, unless they are alone/intimate - then he would call him "Mimi".
- since in the story they are separated as Misha leaves the elven village because of *plot*, and they cannot use phones for quick communication because the village is like, no electricity no signal, they bind their skin with a spell that causes them to have dermographism, but whatever they write on their skin will appear on the skin of the other. They use it to write to each other, and usually start from the left forearm, but often end up scratching all over their bodies due to lack of space.
- the elves have their own language and alphabet. The alphabet is designed with lines and dots (ticks) (*I am still figuring it out*) and is always written in large print. The reason is that majority of the elves have albinism, which also implies a significant part of the village is visually impaired, and their alphabet is designed to be readable both by looking and by touching, with books being enchanted to have the print "come out" as you open the page. Most of the elves can read both ways (however Michael sucks at this, because of concentration issues), and that also means that the skin binding spell Karim and Michael share is readable in this way, too, since the writing comes out swollen.
- Karim also has albinism, but with his eyes being blue, and his vision isn't significantly impacted. He does get sunburned very easily though.
- All elves are more or less connected to magic - specifically a rather ancient, nature magic and magic of light - the forest where they live is pretty much void of dark-originating magic. Karim is in fact very good at it and has a strong connection to magic, and he is generally a bookworm. Misha is completely not good at it, he cannot control it well and he doesn't care much about it, it's just not his thing.
- Michael is an ADHD machine and Karim is the only one who can get him to sit still for a longer period of time (this requires a lot of petting and stroking though).
- Mike is the "act before thinking" one while Karim is the "think before acting" type, which leads to arguments between them, because Mike just tends to do stupid and reckless things without much regret.
- Karim is a great and skilled caretaker while Misha is skilled at getting in trouble and whining about getting hurt.
- unexpectedly, Karim has a very sharp tongue when someone pisses him off, and turns from a calm and nice cutie into a scary dagger in a blink of an eye.
- at the beginning of their relationship, when Mike leaves the village for his last year of school, he gives Karim an old walkman with a stack of batteries (because, no electricity) and a few tapes. One of them starts with Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer, which becomes "their relationship song". The bass line of this song is also a first line Mike plays to Karim on his bass at one of their first dates.
Your ocs are lovely! 💖 Do you have a story for them or are you figuring it out? Are they elves or something similar?
Hi! Thank you for asking! I am extremely happy you like them!
Yes, they have a story that is under construction, and it is a part of a ToA Wizards fanfiction I am trying to put together, but lately it has been growing so big I think they will have a complete side story and universe, too :)
They are elves, with Karim (the shorter one) being born in an elf family, and Michael (the dark skinned one) being a child of an elf woman and a human man :)

@furblrwurblr if you are interested, I wrote down a few scene-skeletons with them in my chat with @a-s-levynn today, so for anyone who likes this, I am sharing (warning: not very smart):
Ash Dispersal Pattern shenanigans
#1 - the search
After their old bassist John moved to another state for University, they were looking for someone to take his place. They had little luck so they announced auditions. The door to Adam’s garage – their usual place for practice, was open. David sat behind a makeshift table made from a small ladder, a chair and a piece of plywood. Zoe was scrolling her phone behind her keys. Douxie played with his guitar, trying to come up with a new melody.
There was a “pick a number” sign in front of the house with a basket of numbers.
They had two people audition and both of them were terrible.
It is already dark when they see someone coming and fiddling with the numbers.
“Hey, just come…”
“Shhh.” David interrupted his brother. “The show must go on.”
Finally, a tall guy walked in with a number “#1349” sticked to his chest. “Hey! I’m here for the tryouts.”
“Good. Tell us about yourself.” David said firmly with a judgmental look, and everybody facepalmed.
“I’m Michael. Did you really have these many people try out?” He asked, pointing at the number on his shirt.
“That’s right! And none of them made it out alive!” David smashed his coffee mug on the makeshift table sending it to the ground, the chair falling over and coffee spilling on the floor.
“Please don’t mind him.” Adam got up and extended his hand to Michael. “I’m Adam and this is my brother, David, who might not make it out alive today.” He says, sending the vocalist a death glare.
#2 - patterns
It’s their first practice with Mikey. Someone knocks on the door and Adam goes to answer, and they wait for him to return.
“So, what’s with the band’s name?” Mike asks.
“It comes from the Chladni patterns, which can be formed by sand on a vibrating rigid surface. It is used in the construction process of some acoustic instruments.” Douxie answers. Michael’s eyes grow huge and he gets up and starts bouncing around the room.
“Show me, can you show me?”
David picks up an acoustic guitar from the corner of the room. “Let’s try on this one.”
“Can’t you just show him a video?” Zoe asks, brow raised.
“Why not do it? We need something sand-like for this.” Douxie picks the guitar and places it on the table.
A minute later David comes from the kitchen with a pack of salt.
Adam comes back to see them all hovering above a table with the guitar lying flat, trying to get the right frequency. Half of the salt has already fallen through the sound hole into the instrument. He just stares.
“I think your guitar is broken, it doesn’t wanna do the pattern thing.” Michael points out politely.
“Is. That. Salt. In my guitar?” He asks, dumbphoned.
“Oh, don’t be so salty!” David smacks him on the back.
#3 - chips
“I’m so sorry for the trouble.” Douxie says to Adam’s wife, and barely hears his own voice over the cacophony of voices coming from the kitchen. Everyone is shouting.
He locks his gaze with Zoe who just rolls her eyes.
David and Michael are throwing various snacks at each other near the kitchen island, laughing and screaming.
“Enough!” Adam slams his hand on the kitchen counter, only to be hit in the face with a handful of chips. Everyone goes quiet, save for David’s evil laughter that follows. Adam tries to grab him, but he dodges and bolts out of the kitchen, knocking off a mug which shatters on the ground.
“I can fix this!” Douxie immediately kneels to pick up the pieces.
Michael stands and stares, a sealed pack of chips in his hands, his eyes going wide while he realizes he really crossed the line this time. He accidentally squeezes the bag in stress, and it explodes in his face, sending chips flying all over the place.
David runs by, jumps over crouching Douxie, grabs a chip which was sitting on Mike’s head, shoves it in his mouth and jumps out of the window to the garden.
#4 - milkshake
They were sitting in Adam’s living room, getting ready for a concert. Adam was packing things up, Zoe was doing Douxie’s make-up and David and Mikey chased each other around the kitchen island, David throwing insults.
“What is this about again?” Adam asked. He had no strength. He had already removed all fragile items from the kitchen countertops before they all trashed in his house that day.
“The fucker ate my milkshake!”
“For the last time, I did not! I don’t even tolerate lactose!”
“How can you eat a shake? Do you also drink your sandwich?” Zoe furrowed her brows, drawing a line on Douxie’s eye with a black pencil.
There was a thud, a yelp and a battle cry and the two of them ran into the garden.
“O shit. That really wasn’t my milkshake.” Douxie scratched his neck, licking the stains in the corners of his lips.
“I am gonna stab you in the eye, Casperan.” Zoe clenched the pencil in her hand.

Bonfire 🔥
bonfire - describe your dream house.
An environment friendly, self-sufficient house with green energy, fully automated and very smart-home. A modern, simple form with wooden finish. Single-level and completely accessible - which is not needed currently, but no matter what future brings to me or anyone who might come over, it must be a safe heaven. Big open living room, big windows, no curtains, a side room to the living room to keep rabbits at, because I want. Open kitchen and an inside-balcony above the living room. Warm lights and small garden with no fence. On a hill with a view. And a big garage to keep the CARS.
frost, fireside, cinnamon, cocoa
I was not expecting so many of you to be curious about me ^^' I am really flattered ^^
frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say?
There are good and loving people in your life. You do not need to keep this cold and stiff armor on before them - it's very uncomfortable and it hurts, but if you let it go, they will not stab you.
fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?
Oh, I got a very elaborate answer to this question since I am getting close to designing my house. I want a behind the bed walk in wardrobe room with a tall, narrow window and a mirror, preferably with a small dressing table and chair to do makeup on. And with doors to the bathroom, which has doors to the laundry. So, like bedroom -> wardrobe -> bathroom -> laundry. Perfect <3
cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where?
That's really hard, because I am convinced now is the best time in the history yet. And I am very bad at historical knowledge. Renaissance is cool, Italy or France, but was it nice for common folk? Maybe I would prefer something in the unknown future? Not sure.
cocoa - if you could have any type of hair, what colour and cut would you have?
It would probably be, at least partially, pink. My hair is very dark and does not like bleaching, so it's hard to get to pink. And it would be very long and I would make it into a thick braid, like a braid my great grandmother had.
Cranberry, maize, moonlit and fog maybe if that's okay? 😶
Thanks for asking, I'd love to answer, of course it's okay :)
cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on?
I'm gonna say my nails, because they are long and strong naturally :)
maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street.
Does the one when I was almost kidnapped in the middle of the day by two random guys in a car with their pants down count? The strangest part was that I react to stressful situations by keeping very cool, and I somehow talked myself out of that with a poker face. They probably didn't expect that lack of reaction, because they left me alone. I was way too shocked to remember their faces, the car or it's plate to call the police though...
moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly?
I am very messy, my whole life is a mess :D
fog - how well do you think you’d do in a zombie apocalypse scenario?
Very likely with a cool pokerface covering up a heart attack going on inside I would try to get lost in the mess?
Maple and amber?
Thank you so much for asking <3 I really appreciate how you keep following my blog for years, and you never fail to make me smile <3
maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?
Animation! It looks amazing, and I really want to try making a video with music, and storyboarding it to match the music. But it also looks extremely difficult... One day, for sure ;)
amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have.
I'm not a fan of Halloween - which is maybe not surprising since I come from a Slavic culture, and we never celebrated it here. We have an All Saints Day on Nov 1st, which I don't like, too. It's a sad holiday about remembering the ones who are gone. In practice it's a family fight over what you are wearing to the cemetery, what flowers to buy and who did not wash the gravestone this year. Just, remembering those who passed does not need a special day for me, and it's not something I want to do in between an argument about candle colors. No offense to anyone who finds this holiday important - I really respect you all.
I actually like this one, so, why not? ^^'
autumnal asks
lantern - how did you meet your best friend? What were your first impressions of each other?
frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say?
maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?
harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?
fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?
cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy?
amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have.
fog - how well do you think you’d do in a zombie apocalypse scenario?
jack-o-lantern - if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose?
spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted?
orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn.
crow - which school subject do you wish you had an aptitude for?
bonfire - describe your dream house.
cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where?
cobweb - (if you’ve graduated) do you miss high school?
cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on?
maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street.
quilt - how do you take your tea (or coffee)?
pumpkin - do you think that humans are inherently good or bad?
moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly?
flannel - have you ever gone on a bad date?
cocoa - if you could have any type of hair, what colour and cut would you have?
ghost - is there someone that you miss having in your life?
rapunzel!Douxie AU
After my previous post I just couldn't stop myself, so hear me out about this nonsense:
There was a gossip about a prophecy going around the kingdom that a magical boy would be born, he would have long, raven hair and golden eyes, and when he grows older he would change the fate of Camelot. King Arthur feared the prophecy and soon after his coronation forbid the usage of magic in the kingdom. Douxie was six at that time, the word about the prophecy became spreading far and wide, and when his biological parents realized he is the feared magic child, they threw him away. On the streets of the town, Douxie met Archie on his first night alone, and they survived a few weeks until they crossed paths with Merlin. The old wizard immediately recognized the child from the prophecy and his heart ached looking at him, so he took him in. Douxie lived in Merlin's tower and was forbidden to go out or let anyone know about his existence. He was lonely and very curious about the world, but after the bad memories from his harsh time on the streets, he never protested and stayed quietly in the tower. Merlin grew to really, sincerely love him, and he provided him with education and everything the boy desired, as long no one discovered him. The only one who knew about him was Morgana, who was 11 years older and at first found him annoying, but then she grew to like him and often spent her time with him. She was also the one who introduced him to music and gave him a lute to play.
When Douxie was 18, Arthur was going overboard with his war against magic and absolutely furious about finding the magical raven haired boy. Douxie never actually believed the prophecy was a real thing, and thought of it as a gossip which turned into madness and forced him to hide. The thing he wanted the most was to cut his riddiculoud hair, which he often tried to destroy with various magical and non-magical ways, only managing to hurt himself in the process, while his hair always stayed shiny and untouched.
He was accidentaly discovered by Claire, who was a young sorceress fighting in a rebbelion against Arthur and his army, and who tried to sneak into the wizard's tower using her shadow magic to steal some useful magical artifacts. Douxie completely freaked out when he saw her, and they started fighting at first, but while she went full-force on him, he just tried to make her stay quiet to not alarm any more people who could discover him there. Claire couldn't really understand which side he was on, while he got extremely impressed when he realized there is a rebbelion forming against Arthur's terror. However, Claire run away before he could get anymore answers from her.
When Claire returned to her hideout in the forests, where she lived with Jim, who was one of the leaders of the rebelion, she told him about Douxie and he immediately caught on how important was the discovery she made. Even if the prophecy wasn't real, it was feared and respected by people. Having Douxie on their side could help them turn the tides and overthrow Arthur's regime.
Next day Claire returned to try to convince Douxie to join them, but he freaked out, stating that he is no rebbelion savior, he has been locked in a tower his whole life and he cannot even do any complicated magic. They are starting to argue so loudly that they attract some guards who start knocking on the door. Cornered, Douxie agrees to join them and they jump through Claire's portal just as the guards push through the doors.
