Matchmaking success!! xD Please tag me too if you ever get around to share it :3 I'd love me some space adventures ft. skk~ Also hi hello, Ray x'3 I'm shy,, you're too cool,,, but I'll keep that in mind :3 it's a huge honor!! (yipiee another person to bother about skk brainrot /hj)

i was scrolling through some of your skk stuff, and i noticed one sketch about an au with Dazai being an intern at NASA and Chuuya being an astronaut that was presumed dead in outspace, and i was wondering if i could write something about it? the idea is really adorable

Hello! thank you so much for this message! I got the sketch idea from this twt post :3 Ray has really amazing ideas :3 I feel like it would be more appropriate to ask Ray about this instead of me but you're all good to me if you want my blessing <3

Here's the thread if you can't open Twitter:

I personally am not in contact with Ray but one of my close moots are! If you'd like me to ask in your stead let me know :3

#this is honestly such a cool interaction #i love me some matchmaking moments on the internet #also hi Ray i didnt realize i have your discord im so sorry now this is kinda embarrassing hhhhh #so excited to hear more from you about the fmabeast au tho ;3

My newest shipment just arrived so let’s talk about some (recent) lottery-only items! The picture above is from the most recent d.grayman playing card drawing, which you could’ve entered by subbing to zebrack comics.

They’re really pretty! I don’t know if it was worth $350 dollars though. There’s only 2 types of illustrations plus the card back and spades,

Funny thing about the prices — I’m pretty sure I’m the reason why the floor for this is 350 on mercari. When the drawing results come out, several people started selling the cards on mercari. I knew I wanted something that’s super exclusive like this, so I started paying attention. There were three sellers in particular competition against each other. over a span of around 2-3 days, the price dropped from ~100k yen down to 59k yen. Keep in mind that these drops were mostly happening while I was asleep being on the east coast. My ideal price would’ve been around 200 usd or ~30k yen, but I’m willing to pay more. Right before going to bed, I saw that the price has fallen to below 60k, and said screw it. Next morning, I woke up, and the main price competitor’s cards were also sold, and a few days later the third person, with a slightly higher price, also ended up selling. Since the price decreases happen primarily while I was asleep, and I knew that as soon as one sells, the other is going to get bought up too, might as well pay a little extra. I’m also 99% sure that at least 2/3 of the other sets on mercari was bought by chinese people, since I see their posts on chinese social media.

To be honest though, if I knew that there’s only two new drawings on these cards, I probably would’ve waited a bit longer before buying them. Oh well.

The other lottery item I had is from the vol 28 drawing.

They’re B5 sized manuscript replicas. They’re stunning — you can see so many details on these. Every stroke on neah/mana’s hair is clear as day. I’d like to frame them but *screams in nyc and paper walls*.

The other drawing item is a acrylic board of the vol 28 cover.

I’m still debating on buying that off of mercari. I think I will once the yen drops a little more, but we’ll see. I wouldn’t lose sleep over not getting it.

As a side note unrelated to dgm: the reason why I’m buying so much recently is 1. I realized that a few thousand literally makes no difference to me and my house owning goals (I LOVE NYC) and 2. The yen is incredibly cheap right now. Even though some Japanese collectors are price gauging, some of the items are not too much more expense than their originals price (there’s a few absurd outliers, which I’ll covered in two months… because I paid for some of the outliers and now they have to be shipped from China).

The Japanese fed has spent billions on trying to stabilize the currency, but to no avail. it’s really bad for any Japanese companies doing import, but it’s really really good for usd based consumers. As long as the US federal reserve and their interest rate remains high (and a bunch of other factors), yen is going to continue getting crushed against the dollar. There’s some items I’m eyeing on that I’ll probably only buy if the yen drops to at least 1:160 against the dollar. If you zoom into the last month of usd:yen, you can literally see when the Japanese fed intervened.

#balling my fists so hard bc the new art looks so delicious #kinda insane to me how i was also thinking of designing my own dgm deck then this comes out #mercari raises the prices so insanely sometimes i remember an artbook going from 3k yen to 60k yen its so sad #dgm #dgm merch #d. gray man #d gray man #merch

Had the honor to redraw the cover of the first volume for @dgm20thproject !! Also redrew another manga page so please check out the whole redraw project here!! ✨

Seeing the whole zine coming together has been the most fulfilling fandom moment for me, it’s so powerful and amazing how strong the love is for this beautiful story even after 20 years and several heart breaking hiatuses and news… Thank you so much to everyone who made this project possible, most especially to the mods for pulling the team together 💙

D. Gray man is perhaps the most important manga in my life that changed the trajectory of my life when I first started reading it in the middle of the cemetery many years ago as an emo teen xD. The characters, the world building, the story… all of them left (and still continues to leave cuz damn these recent manga updates are killing me /pos) lasting impacts on me as an artist and as a person. I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for this series (no seriously I started posting art online because of Dgm). May we have more years to come for this wonderful story! ✨🤲

special shoutout to my friend Evie who I lost contact with several years ago and we found each other again thanks to this project and our love for dgm xD

#I AM A BIT LATE TO THE PARTY BUT YES #THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS CHANCE TO FIND THE DGM COMMUNITY WAAAAAA #allen walker #millenium earl #d gray man #d. gray man #dgm20thfanproject #best manga that changed my life #Literally changed me as a person in the most serious and legit way im not even kidding

Happy 20th Anniversary D.Gray-Man!

Here is a project made by fans for the 20th anniversary of D.Gray-Man. It is viewable for free and can't be downloaded and sold in any way. 175 artists, from determined beginners to seasoned pros, signed up to redraw the first volume, illustrate 18 iconic moments, and sketch 73 doodles (presented alongside 36 silly questions) in their own style!

This fanbook has no affiliation with the official DGM in any way. The contributors claim no ownership or right to the DGM work, which is the sole property of Katsura Hoshino and Shūeisha. Each artist is the owner of and responsible for their art. Reposting any of the artwork is strictly forbidden without direct permission from the artist who made it.

Only look at this Zine if you already know DGM! It wouldn't be as interesting otherwise. We hope that our work will prompt new and old readers to take interest into D.Gray-Man. Please buy the manga to support the author!

The Zine

And the password to see it : DGM20thAnniversaryFanProject! You can put it in full mode in the top right corner, the four squares there are also a table of content.

This project is our way to celebrate this manga we love and we hope you readers will enjoy our art as much as we loved making it!

#PLEASE!!! This whole thing is so good #it was such an honor to be a part of this project #best and most fulfilling one I’ve every joined tbh this is so cool #dgm fandom is literally a zombie that rose up to celebrate 20 years #fandom zine #dgm20thfanproject #dgm #d.gray man #jaw dropped when i saw the zine #if you don’t know dgm please give the manga a try #literally life changing for me #thank you so much to all the mods for making this possible #and yes please dont download it. Sensei may not like it

One of the pages I redrew for the D.Gray-man 20th Anniversary Zine.

20 years and counting. A quiet, yet heartfelt thank you to Hoshino for this story that keeps us walking.

For the final page of volume 1, I was asked to completely rework the design. There were many, many moments of panic in the making of this as I struggled with the lettering, composition, colors.....orz....

So a huge thank you is due for all the critiques and words of encouragement I was blessed to receive during the process <3 I am so grateful to have been given the chance to work on this one!

Bonus:

Little Red!!! Truly, the photo still does not showcase just how smol he is.

#GUYS GUYS LOOK AT HOW INSANE THE PANEL COMPOSITION IS #this was genuinely one of my favs in the first volume and op managed to make it sooooo cool and refreshing and the foreshadowing is so #augh. Just so good.#dgm #dgm20thfanproject #d.gray-man #d gray man

Who are your fav skk fanfic writers and why? Do you have their works that you love the most that you don't mind sharing here? 💘

this... this is such a hard question, *brings out a whole safe of records* /j (no srsly it's gonna be a long read--)

Here are a list of authors i really like :3 Their ao3 links/handles are:

the_most_happy: love how emotional their work can be! they have smut and fluff works, and most of all—which i think the the most delicious one, is the way they write angst <3 I actually made a bunch of fanart for their fics/aus when I was just getting into the fandom :3 They're writing is like going into a spicy sexy emotinal adventure... idk how else to describe it xD my fav fic of theirs... augh so hard to choose... In Loving Memory caught me so off guard (cuz i forgot to read the tags and immediately dived into it the moment i saw their post about it hhhh)

forest_racoon: The fluff and softness and magic in their writing is so good! I love the energy and comedy and seriousness and everything in their writing! it's always so fun to pick up any of their works~ Don't be tricked tho,, the angst they deliver have the same gravity ToT it's just so... augh... I first found them through Plate :( and have reread it several times (please check out their other works too it's all so amazing!!)

devilrin: love how she writes. period. the emotions and the poetic energy of it?? the angst?? so. good. the skk energy in their writing is more mellow(?) it feels more realistic—it's like watching people instead of characters ;w; (very cool how she world builds an entire life outside of her fic for her characters actually, got to witness the behind the scenes first hand myself its pretty insane to me) The fic that ruined me tho is Down to a Sunless Sea (which is so angsty im so--)

themadtree: The energy in their writing is just so amazing. it's very hard to stop mid-way! The dialogue feels very fun and engaging and you really get very attached to the characters because of how energetic and full of life they are. Whimsical is the best word I can think of to describe the reading experience of their work :3 They made a bunch of fun aus; their brain is just so amazing (pirate au and avatar au like broooooo) My favorite is Mors Vincit Omnia (yummy pirate au!)

StarshipDancer: one of the first ao3 writers whose name i decided to remember by heart (which means a lot considering how bad i am with names) because they are my most searched user in ao3 xD The fluff is just so addicting. The sillies and shenanegans are so on point for me, idk it just scratch this itch so perfectly in my brain. I draw a of inspiration from my skk sketches from their works actually :3!! READ EVERYTHING THEY HAVE PLS ITS ALL SO GOOD (you should check the fluff week collection augh) Without Words is one of my most reread ones... I think... I reread a lot of their works tho...

setosdarkness: let's be honest. i think everyone whose dived into ao3 skk just knows her alreayd xD she's such a kween for that, making sure we are so well fed with so much fun skk writing. Her works are so fun to read! Very comedic and has such similar energy to the gag moments and bickering and shenanigans of the anime skk for me idk why. I love how fun and unique each fic scenarios are :3 (no srsly you'll never run out of food made with so much love by athina-san)

xLillyle: I am working with Lilly for a Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood skk au!! (its Royai skk BUT it's also beast!skk) it's been so exciting to work with her :3!! You can check some of the teasers here. She made an iwaoi!skk fic recently so if that's you're type hehe *starts bawling*

there are lots of other amazing authors there but these are the ones that came to mind and i am most familiar with for now :3 Here are some other fics ~~

When I Awake: Ghost(?) Writer Dazai and Musician Chuuya. yummy angst. silly skk

castle out of couches: My favorite domestic fluff skk. it's my must read. Halfbloom is such a master of the fluff in comedic tone and capturing that skk domestic softness idk how they do it. it's just so good.

In One of the Stars I shall be Living: A sweetheart wrote a fic about my little prince skk au TT it's so well written and I am so in love with all the references and angst ueueue

Five Steps: My favorite skk knight x prince au TT

The Best Worst Thing: Another sweetheart wrote a fic based on my silly sketches ;w; it's so cute waaaaaa

okay. i am. so sorry for the long answer. I just love a lot of stuffs from these incredible writers. feel free to drop by again :3 these are the ones that comes to my mind first so i may have missed out on a bunch oop

#sorry again for the long reply #bsd fandom has so much good food #inbox #recommendations
