I’ve kinda wanted to do a pic like this for a while, to the point that I had the sketch I used for this Ask in my work folder for a long time. I reworked it a little into a pretty simple answer. This is basically the same way I handled Mako’s threesome with Korra and Asami, but I think it’s a fun way to approach the dynamic.
I didn’t really like the idea of Yuji palling around with Tanjiro or Zenitsu, I kinda see his and Inosuke’s Studio friendship as removed from either show and more about just them. That being said, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten around to drawing these two actually fucking, and thought finally doing that would maybe soften the blow of not doing Yuji/Tanjiro or whatever else this Subscriber was hoping for with this question.
I’m aware that a good portion of the people who follow me, both on SubscribeStar and off, do so because of my Gon and Killua work. While I personally am pretty burned out on drawing them, and also just don’t think about Hunter × Hunter very often since I finished it a while ago, I did want to squeeze out something with them. So that’s what this Ask is here, since I figured it’d be an easy one for Gon to answer and I thought it’d be cute.
I was a bit hesitant about this Ask. However, I was a bit heartened to see someone show interest in Cal after his debut got a bit of a cold reception. I didn’t want to pair him with either of the gals from his debut, though, partly because it feels too soon for that and partly ’cause I needed this to be a yaoi Ask. I thought it’d be fitting to pair him with another boy we didn’t get a good look at in his previous appearance, Lied Shax, who was fully dressed (in drag) and mostly just a face the only other time I drew him. I think he’s a cute and fun character, though, so this Ask serves to highlight both boys I guess.
When reading this question, I had this realization that gambling in the Studio probably wouldn’t be that fun. There’s always a risk with how I portray the Studio that it’ll come across like the “A Nice Place to Visit” episode of Twilight Zone, but also I’ve gone on record that money is sort of just a prop for Studio residents. Maybe it’d still be fun to gamble or bet on things for some people, but I don’t think it’d hold Toji’s interest given my read on his character. So, of course, I wanted to show Toji passing the time in the normal Studio fashion, and figured it’d be fun to pair him with Megumi for it. I haven’t decided yet if Studio Megumi knows his relationship to Toji, given what he knows in the source material, but I figure it didn’t need to come up for this Ask to be answered in this fashion.
I like Tommy topping Takuya about as much as I do T.K. doing the same with Matt, Tai, etc. The main reason I’ve never drawn these two before is just that they’re from well after I stopped watching Digimon, so I don’t really know them or think about them. I thought this Ask might be fun for a little run with them, though, and I hope you Digimon fans out there will enjoy this one.
I was thinking over this question, and I thought it might be fitting of Envy was motivated by a bit of jealousy towards all the other characters (and there are many) who’ve been paired with Goku over the years. I don’t think he’d just admit that, of course, but I tried to play into that motivation in his response here. Of course, mostly I just thought they’d result in a cute pic, and I hope some of y’all will agree.
