I used Canute for the first Christmas party after his debut because I thought his royal cloak, which is red with a white fur trim, had a Christmas/Santa vibe to it. In that party he was shown sucking off Mark, as referenced in his answer. He didn’t appear in this most recent party, but I figured he could’ve had some fun with Denji. Denji’s grown a new appreciation for pretty guys lately with Haku and Zarbon, and Canute fits well into that.
Taking the yaoi slot in our four rotating monthly ongoing comics is “Shades of Envy.” The premise of this comic is to use Envy’s shapeshifting to give Ed and Al a bit of a wild ride, set in the Studio so they can have more of a fun dynamic (and more people Envy can turn into, as seen here). There were a few different ways people submitted for this to start, including multiple where Envy became Yuji. In the end I liked this approach as it gave me a chance to show base-form Envy a little, and I tried to give him some good angles before the transformation starts.
So Edward appeared with Inosuke and Yuji not too far back. I don’t really have, like, a specific dynamic or anything hammered out between these two, but I don’t think you always need one. I mostly just kinda feel like they look good together, so I think them having a bit of a casual fuck buddy type thing works well.
So there’s been a couple times where Silas and Eren have ended up sharing screentime together. I was just kinda tickled by the idea of Silas answering how he does here, and Eren showing a bit of a different side as well. I’m not sure exactly what it is about these two that I think is cute, but I hope some of y’all will agree.
Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
In Erwin’s last Ask I mentioned he was somewhat like Nanami, so I figured there wasn’t any better candidate for someone he could unwind with.
So there’s probably more restaurant owners than I can think of in the Studio. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one other one, but when thinking about this Ask I was kinda drawn to bring back Himeka Manaka, the mother from PriPara who works as a chef at an Italian restaurant with her husband. Her husband isn’t in the Studio, but I liked the idea of her and Tiana’s restaurants being close enough to consider each other rivals. Now, for a few different reasons there wouldn’t be anything resembling a real rivalry there, it’s not like the real world where there’s a risk of going out of business or anything like that. But I figured it was a good excuse to bring back this character I haven’t drawn in ages, and give Tiana another left-field anime character she interacts with in the Studio.
