This Was Giving Me Thoughts, And I Remembered Some Special Thing About Handwriting Culture In Japan,

This was giving me thoughts, and I remembered some special thing about handwriting culture in Japan, so I'll share

Source: “CUTE STUDIES”. KAWAII (“CUTENESS”) – A NEW RESEARCH FIELD by OANA-MARIA BÎRLEA from Babeș-Bolyai University

The text is about development of kawaii culture in 1970s (and I think this suits Himiko so much...)

Kawaii promotes the appreciation of small, stylized objects and of childish or atypical looking characters considered vulnerable for various reasons (size, looks, attitude, etc.).

This culture spread rapidly among students (especially female students), who started to express their feelings through a nonconformist writing style, considered more modern and closer to the Western world: maru ji (rounded letters), koneko ji (“kitten writing”), manga ji (“comic writing”), burikko ji (“imitation of children’s writing”).

The "soft rebellion" of young people implied “sabotaging” the traditional way of writing by adding small, cute symbols to induce positive feelings and combat alienation.

So basically, Himiko's writing in Japanese could look like this (an example of maru ji handwriting style):

(As I understand, the rough translation is – "This is very cute!", the picture is from Wikipedia)

Okay, but I think Himiko has very beautiful handwriting. She would write in cursive very cute and Ochako doesn't have a ugly handwriting but she doesn't write in cursive. I think she would write as legibly as possible

I Promised And I Did It

I promised and I did it

I call this ✨strawberry Ochako✨

Not perfect, but I tried to make it practical (I just wanted to give Ocha some cool pants)

(my rambling about the og design which started it all)

Special thanks to @lily-claw, your input was major here haha (maybe that's why I've stolen the "KILL WITH MY KNEES" idea y'know XD)

And these are with the massage points if any of you are curious

HERE MY FRIEND ALL FOR YA

Togachako + Medusa AU

Togachako + Medusa AU

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...

btw while I'm awake Dabi enthusiasts I need to ask you something...

so if he dyes his hair black and his brows are black too

so you tell me some time he just disappears and the league they think like "oh maybe he's got some dark edgy criminal stuff to do maybe"

and he basically holes up somewhere quiet to do his edgy makeup routine?

They say late is better than never, but your post made me think for a bit

I'm not really done figuring her hair out, but for me it's more towards light grayish tones mostly

But it really depends on the lighting, and I think shadows add much character to her hair too

For example these three! Bright day light demands I pick the shadows with a more soft orange-y tone, while contrasting lighting features even BROWN in the darkest parts

And my latest piece brought out that I like making shadows more on the purple side using soft grayish light shades of red (at least google said it's a shade of red)

So complicated... But the only consistent thing is that I tend to make the lights the lightest, brightest shade of yellow I can afford ✨✨✨

Random question to the Tgchk/Ochhm/every other ship name these two have fandom, or anyone who likes drawing Himiko.

Do you prefer coloring Himi’s hair as a warmer tone or as a cooler tone or do you prefer to keep it as canon as possible.

Examples:

Random Question To The Tgchk/Ochhm/every Other Ship Name These Two Have Fandom, Or Anyone Who Likes Drawing

In fanart, they tend to sorta make her tone closer to beige or sometimes a full out blonde, sometimes they even use Katsuki’s hair color.

I’m just curious to what you guys prefer, I like warmer colors, so I usually use a light beige blonde if that makes sense(you can tell by my manga colorings I have here).

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger guys

So working with what Hori gives us

No tgck? Okay, I'll play with the reincarnation idea instead

1. Ochako starts her quirk counseling program. She's so nervous but determined at the same time. She actually tries to do some work herself despite not having the qualification, and difficult children do open up to her somewhat. A young, bright heroine, and she's so understanding too! She doesn't see them as monsters, and her smile is so pretty...

A few cases go well, not without issues, but it's still good for a start.

She can't participate in every single case, but having a free day has her wandering the streets to clear her thoughts a bit.

And there she stands.

This girl, she doesn't look older than 5 years, a pair of uncanny yellow eyes peering up with a smile of blood-stained teeth. Her fingers are so small, stained with mud and blood too.

"Ne, ne, oneechan, do I look cute?~"

2. Or we can just accept izuocha and give our girl the best fucking parents ever. It's not about ships, it's about Himiko having two people she loves giving her pure, unconditional love she hasn't got in her previous life.

I wish I could have izuocha as my parents too okay???

3. Ochako often takes unfamiliar routes when returning home from work. It's actually fun, and also gives her an opportunity to survey the city for future patrols.

She notices a black cat starts following her one day.

Each day it seems to magically know where she'll be.

It looks so tired and weak, Ochako's heart clenches. She stops and tries to pet it once. It's fur is a bit coarse from the filth and dust of the streets, but it accepts her pets ao eagerly. But then it bites her, and runs away, clearly freaked out. Ochako isn't mad, but...

... can cats actually feel guilty?

The cat comes to seat near her house sometimes, leaves some birds it hunts as trophies. Ochako nearly gags the first time, but praises her furry friend anyway. It's just instincts, how can she blame it?

The kitty only lets Ochako feed her if her human lets her gnaw on her fingers and lap up the welling blood afterwards.
