We are POP☆CANDY!

My piece for the HEARTBEATS zine hosted by @sesamiiseed !

Hi! There was a post a while ago saying something about becoming ridiculously crazy about platonic relationships and as someone who's intensely grieving a dead fandom (this is not an exaggeration the fandom was built on it's fancreations but it was rpf and the creators ended up being horrible so now 80% of fanfictions have been abandoned) that did this exact thing, I am very invested in your ocs. Tell me more. Is there angst? Do they cuddle?? I love platonic cuddles

okay yes hello! WOW! gimme just a second i am honestly completely shocked that anyone saw my addition to that post, let alone would read the whole thing, nevermind get invested in my boys aHAH ;;

(btw i am so sorry to hear about what happened, that sucks so hard and i can really relate)

now, i am SO glad you asked bc i don't get many opportunities to gush about this to other people! the short answer is: yes to both >:)

these two are pretty much joined at the hip so there are many platonic cuddles :)

they're technically roommates oh my god they were roommates, they live in the same house so every day is like a sleepover for them! they have their own rooms, but usually they both end up sleeping in the same place, be that bitless' room, shockatee's room, or setting up camp in the living room area. bitless likes to use shockatee as a pillow all the time which shockatee doesn't mind at all. it's very comforting for the two of them!

and ohh MAN, don't even get me started on the angst bc there. is. angst. >:) sadly, those parts are pretty spoilery so i can't talk about it just yet which really sucks bc i wanna talk about it so BAD aUGHH

just know that with bitless being a zombie and shockatee being an artificial intelligence of sorts, they run into a lot of conflicts that they have to overcome so there is plenty of angst to go around for everyone ;)

i could literally talk about them until the heat death of the universe but i don't want to spoil all the surprises so with that i'll leave it here. thank you for giving me the chance to talk about my boys again! i'm gearing up to post more about them soon <3

i hope i answered your question well. thanks again, anon!

A collab with the fabulous @prismkidd! This was great fun to work on lol

yes hi hello i'm so sorry for hijacking this post, but i saw someone i follow had reblogged it or something and i am actually insane about this very topic so if anyone who might be reading this would be so kind as to humor me i will elaborate. i lose my mind, i get annoying, it's cringe.

so these are the blorbos from my shows: my ocs Bitless (rainbow hair) and Shockatee (red hat, 3d glasses) and i am so :) normal :) about them :)

they're best friends and i go absolutely FERAL over their dynamic. the thing is, i know that if/when i start sharing more about them and their story, people are probably gonna start to ship them romantically. and that's perfectly fine. HOWEVER. i will continue to forever be nothing less than absolutely captivated and enamored by their friendship more than any romantic or sexual take on their relationship. because it's just. that. good. to me, at least. and not only will i die on this hill, but you will have to have to perform an exorcism on the land the hill stands on to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

look at them.

look!! at!! them!!!

these two are singlehandedly fueling the cymbal monkey that is my brain. i am a dog and they are the chew toy and i am ripping that son of a bitch to pieces with my bare teeth. i am afflicted with the status condition Poison (them) and i take 2 damage every time they cross my mind, which is every other minute of every single day.

they have been best friends in my mind since their creation in the summer of 2013 and NOT ONCE have i thought about them in a romantic or sexual way and preferred that over the platonic love of their friendship. and trust me, i've explored the idea and thought deeply about it on more than one occasion.

and MAN, the pain i feel knowing full well that the nanosecond i open my mouth and start yapping about them people are gonna ship them as a couple and--like i said before--that's fine. i can see where they're coming from. i'll admit, it does work. i'm gay, i write gay shit. but i'm not gonna lie, i'm just hoping that someone out there will be just as hype about their friendship as i am. i just want someone to know and understand. they're best friends, dammit!

MAN

the way that they look at each other like "that's my best friend right there!"

the way that they banter like "he gets me like no one else gets me!"

the way that they trust each other and feel comfortable in each others' company! (bonus: the way the borrow each others' clothes)

the way they care about each other!

they're each others' partner in crime. they know the other person better than they know themselves. they spend more time together than they spend apart. if someone was trying to impersonate one of them the other would instantly know. i say this without an OUNCE of exaggeration they would DIE for each other.

*grips you* the fucking POWER their friendship has over me. it's got me in it's unyielding grasp. i am in fact so staggeringly Not Normal over these two best friends. gRAAAGH i am downright OBSESSED. i would not have it any other way.

the history books will call them close friends because That Is What They Are.

Y'all have gotta get more insane about platonic relationships like you are about romantic relationships. We need to get more annoying about them NOW. I need to see more meta and losing our minds over them. Get more annoying NOW. More than that. More than that also.

VOCALOID Rana 💫📝💖🎉

(I forgot to upload yesterday so there's two today!)

new persona art! :)

when i tell you i drew my ocs in baseball uniforms basically the very DAY after i created them because back then i knew i wanted to do this when i finally make their story into an animated tv show

we need shows to go back to 22 episode seasons just so they can get filler episodes in again. sometimes you just need episodes like that as a breather, where not everything is life and death and idk they just play baseball

Ranauna sketch i said i was gonna finish but I am not 😭

these two sillies dont get enough attention
