I didn’t have a strong idea for this question specifically until I realized I could play into it fitting with Toji’s being unimpressed with Studio culture. Not much to say here but I hope people enjoy the “rematch.”
And this wraps up our little experiment. I think this approach to comics does work pretty well in allowing me to get pages out relatively quickly without interrupting other projects. However, it is a bit limited in the types of pairings I can do with it, I think. Nonetheless I will probably try other comics like this in the future. I have another in the works right now, which ironically enough involves a different Jujutsu Kaisen character, but for now I hope y’all enjoyed Closing Time as much as Tiana did.
With the first Ask of this block I mentioned the Subscriber was looking for a different pairing, and this was it. While I couldn’t really justify doing anything with Nobara and Power for that Ask, a Dare is different. I had a bit of an idea for how they might banter, and thought it’d be fun to see play out.
Unlike Todo, I don’t think Choso is very likely to refer to someone as his brother unless there’s a literal familial connection. Without trying to be funny, I think his brotherly bonds tend to be much more about blood. So, with that being the case, I couldn’t really have him answer this question in the affirmitive.
However, I did have a crossover pairing I wanted to do with him. I’m not sure what exactly made me want to draw Choso with Envy. It might be just because I already had an FMA connection in my head due to Choso’s debut (and, in fact, I’m certain these two met when Envy tried to crash Ed’s debut shoot), or it might be they’re the only two males so far who don’t wear nail polish in canon but do in Studio (to the best of my knowledge). I do also kind of like the image of them painting their nails together. Whatever the case, though, it was a pairing I wanted to do and this Ask seemed like a good chance to do it while also addressing my reading of Choso’s brothers needing to be literal.
So this is a pretty straightforward question with a straightforward answer. I figured it’d be best to have Toge demonstrate by saying it while he cums, though. At first I was just going to have him jerking off and cumming, but it felt off while I was trying to do that. I eventually decided it just felt weird to see someone say something while jerking off by themselves, especially a fairly quiet person like Toge, so I figured Yuji could help him out instead. Honestly I don’t think most people actually shout things when they cum, that feels like a hentai invention to me… Probably if anything he’d just moan, but I see this more as Toge sharing what he would say and putting on a bit of a performance.
So, obviously Nobara is not correct about there not being anyone like Inosuke. In fact, I have a pretty good idea of who this Subscriber had in mind with this Ask, but I wanted to do a little something different and I’ll explain why.
I kinda feel like Nobara would find Yuji’s weird boar friend annoying, or not really like him. For whatever reason that’s just the feeling I get when I picture Yuji trying to hang out with both of them at the same time. I also don’t necessarily see her organically forming a friendship with the character this Ask was looking for, although I’m sure they’ll fuck eventually and maybe something could develop under the right conditions in the future. So, I went a different direction here. Nobara and Ashido met during the Febuary ’23 One-Shot, although they didn’t appear on-screen together. These two have pretty different personalities, but I kinda see them hitting it off in a peanut butter and jelly kind of way, and I thought it’d be cute to see a fresh crossover with two characters I’m pretty fond of here. I hope the asker for this one won’t be too disappointed with the outcome here, but I do think this answer actually kinda sets up some alternate paths towards the ship they were looking for.
This is a Lord Tier commission for one my top level Subscribers, featuring Choso from Jujutsu Kaisen and Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist. Ed’s pictured here with his body intact, per the commissioner’s specifications. My interpretation here is that Ed’s gotten his full body restored/healed in the process of coming into the Studio, where this pic is set. Probably if he shows up in Asks or anything, it’ll be with this design. Of course, if I draw him in anything set within the canon of FMA, he’ll have to have his automail.
