video; un: kishibe

[ The video comes on and it appears to be neatly propped up on a desk. He's spinning a pen between his fingers. It's clear he's sitting at a desk, given by how much you can see of him. He's never posted to the network before. ]

A couple of you may know this, but I am a manga-ka at home, and obtained a physical copy my series about a month ago. Not long ago, I did get a publisher and I'm able to get additional prints of it so that I do not have to lend out my only copy.

[ But that is only partially the point of this post. ]

I'm in the process of developing a new series. There's only so much to work with within my own experiences. I've drawn many pieces of scenery here, filled up sketchbooks with pictures of Prismals and Moonblessed alike.

[ He sets his pen down on his desk, and stops playing with it. ]

So that's where I come to you. I'd like to hear stories about your life prior to here. Whether that is an interesting story or fact about you or the world you come from.

[ Oh, yeah. ]

And, one more thing. I guess, since I'm feeling generous. If anyone would like to see if I drew them - just let me know. I'd recommend posting a video. I draw what I like so there's no guarantees, but it's possible.


[ ooc; i'm happy to have had him draw p. much anyone who would be spending regular time at the park, especially if they sit still for a few minutes when there since that's where he draws most his inspiration from! ;) ]

Awww, Josuke!

It's funny, I actually used to read a lot of it back home but sometimes my friends would tease me because the ones I liked best were "stuff for boys". Like I can't read Akira because I also like wearing high heels and nail polish, or something. Isn't that ridiculous?

[nipzips]

i've never heard of akira ...

[ he is a bonafide normie ]

but a lot of people get hung up about what guys and girls should and shouldn't do, and it's pretty annoying. i mean, i got told once that wearing earrings is girly.

[doreimi]

Wow, really? It's a really cool story about people with psychic powers set in a dystopian future. I guess it's what you'd call "cyberpunk"? Anyway, it's pretty dark and there's violence and stuff, so that's why people think it's not for girls, I guess.

So what'd you do, when that person told you that? About the earrings?

[nipzips]

whoa, these manga plots get pretty dark, huh? when i think about anime or manga i imagine doraemon or something.

[ so, basically the old cartoons he would watch in preschool before he stopped watching anything animated. josuke is just a normie. ]

that's a stupid idea to have, though. it's not like girls can't handle that stuff [ women are seriously tough. he'd know, because he was raised by one. ]

and, uh ... i told em to mind their own damn business? shit, i need to get better at comebacks [ he is Bad at one-liners and snarky comebacks. being cool under pressure is just really hard. ]

[doreimi]

Wait, seriously? That's it? Okay, I'm DEFINITELY going to have to loan you some stuff. You know it's bad when I'VE read a wider variety of manga genres than you have, right?

[josuke you ignorant thot she's been dead fifteen years and she's still better at this than you]

I mean...it's not THAT bad of a comeback. Sure, there are better ones, but it probably did the job, right?

[nipzips]

[ he is just a dumb thot ]

well, if you think it's good, i'll read it. i just haven't read much manga at all. or any, actually .... besides the pages that koichi shows me sometimes.

hazamada actually gave me so much shit for this when we first met.

Are you literally living under a rock?

[nipzips]

what?? what's wrong with what i said?!?

[penpoint]

Akira is a classic, Josuke. No wonder you have no concept or understanding of art.

[nipzips]

if it's a classic how come i've never heard of it until now [ because he's a normie ]

but if reimi likes it, i guess i could check it out if it exists here

[penpoint]

Because you don't know or appreciate art. Obviously.

It probably exists here.
