Here here! Would appreciate a lot being added too! 🤗

A digital painting of two fairies. The closest one is dressed in blue and has her wings in motion, we do not see her face since she is looking back at the other fairy, dressed in orange and walking towards her through a bridge made of greenery and flowers.
She smiles and looks triumphant, bright golden magic swirling from one of her hands into the next section of the bridge she walks upon.

A digital painting of Mami Tomoe from Madoka Magica, her current self wearing a school uniform back to back to her younger self in her magical girl form. Ribbons and gift boxes and flowers enveloping them both, being spawned from a bright light coming from where her younger self's soul gem should be.

A digital painting of Shiori and Juro from Revolutionary Girl Utena, Shiori taking the sword out of Juri's chest as black petals fly out. There are two sets of silhouettes in the background depicting their exchange from moments prior, Shiori carressing Juri's face and grabbing her pendant.

A fullbody digital painting of Frederika Bernkastel from Umineko, her long hair flows and her intricately detailed dress is shrouded in blue tinted shadows and purple light. Fragments sparkle and float around her.

I can finally share one of my favorite art pieces of 2025!! All the water details in this still spark so much joy 🥺🫧 It's a Dratini gijinka I made for a project by @dotzines.bsky.social The Zine is free and available now with designs from the Kanto and Johto Dex!! #pokemon #art #gijinka #dratini

A digital illustration of a Dratini gijinka resting half submerged in a whirlpool of water where a couple of Dratini pokemon swim by.

The gijinka design is of a blue haired dark skinned kid with their hands clasped together, they wear a shiny and intricate silver headpiece adorned by pearls and emulating the shape of Dratini ear fins. They also wear long bulky sleeves like that of a Japanese shrine maiden attire that is slightly oversized.

who's holding the photo is up for interpretation, but anyways what a sad art trend [ #zeroescape #akanekurashiki #fanart ]

The blackout poetry art trend where a drawing is placed in the blacked out spots leaving only the words "Come back" visible. This drawing is of a hand holding a photo of young Akane Kurashiki from Zero Escape.

Small review of the game The Aquarium Does Not Dance to go with the fanart: The puzzles are prettyyy badly localized ngl but the story and characters were charming enough to keep me playing It's Ib if it happened in an aquarium so check it out if you like the ocean aesthetic 🪼🪸 #rpghorror

Photo of the first area, two tiny fish can be seen inside aquarium panels on each side

Another one of the many areas of the game themed, the player character stares at humanoid marine creatures through the glass.
The tilesets gradient into different shades of blue.

Mortellana@mortellana· Feb 6

What if we literally shared a soul gem but I was too busy projecting my entire sense of self onto a dead man to listen to you. and we were both fish girls Made The Aquarium Does Not Dance fanart because this quote sent me and I am a yuri warrior first and foremost #rpgmakerhorror #fanart

The text above the image reads "I love you."

Below it, there are two women staring into each others eyes. One tall, calm and collected with white hair, red eyes and scars on her face. The other, reaching for her, cupping her hands close to her face but daring not touch, she is shorter, with an orange ponytail and frilly maid-like dress. Her blue eyes show desperation and tears but she speaks smiling as softly as possible.

The text below the image reads "I knew I'd be the one to kill you one day."

Some personal thoughts on 2025, letting go, finally starting to make videos and sticking as true to myself as I possibly can

2025 Retrospective

One of my 2025 goals was using my voice more both literally and figuratively, what I landed on being the best for me was giving video essays a shot

I bought a mic, learned audio mixing, figured out I had a lisp that increased dislike for my own voice and unlearned it, a lot of ideas came and went

A lot of people came and went too. But I think I got a little better at letting go? It feels more and more like learning when to dig your foot in and when to just move on is a lifelong task, and without any 100% foolproof way of getting the right answer every time

Creatively, though? I think I learned more about holding on than anything.

I tried leaving my comfort zone and doing different things and I'm better for it but it wasn't long until I felt like I was neglecting that creative spark, like there was a dam instead of free flowing communication with my inner self

There's a lot of tension there between language and actual communication, I taught myself english to play untranslated games but also to hide what I wanted to say from those around me, it worked back then

Now, I'd say a good half of my daily communication is in english, including at work I love being latina but I guess it's the grounds where I can relate the closest to the term "impostor syndrome" on. Throwing away either language simply wouldn't be true to me, and it's not like any language is really free of the grip of colonialism it's not an achievable ideal

But the feeling is there, and it's only going to grow wider the more I don't channel that into creation, the more I don't sit back and listen and work it out through building community like I've always know artistic expression can help facilitate for me

On YouTube, I'll add ptbr audio once I'm eligible for that feature and once I figure out if I'll do the transcripting myself or not subtitles will be there

There are games I wanna make with the setting close to home, there are local art expos I wanna be a part of, artist alleys, animations, all sorts of things. I'm trusting myself to know when I'm ready to take those kinds of leaps and leaning on my friends when I need to rest, I've let go of the perfectionism of wanting to figure out the best thing to say to them every time we talk which only led to talking less

The same goes for posting! I finally feel like I've struck a good balance of being cautious and accommodating of my sensibility and just allowing myself to share silly things when I want to share them!

That said watching the hate comments about the fighting game I'm working on also proved to me I have decently thick skin, certainly more than my poor coworkers who don't know much about the internet world. I know we're putting care into every move of every character and that's good enough for me

I am definitely not cut out for being an influencer or anything but as long as I can boost my art to do most of the real talking for me I'll be good.

The first video I'm working on is 50% recorded, I can even listen to it just fine now that I've gotten used to my own voice!

It gave me pause to delve into a fandom as contentious as dr but the rabbit hole of Tetro Danganronpa was really deep, and I completely stumbled on it in a perhaps ill-advised trip back to fanganronpa land for nostalgia's sake

I learned to let go of the more marketable idea I had earlier in the year and to embrace writing this script that deals with very real emotions
and topics that affected me and that I know affect a lot more people deeply, I wrote 90% of it before the vonbabbit stuff came out but I feel like what I have to say is worthwhile if not even more so now I hope

The only uncertainty I still have is over whether or not I should make art of the cast Given the AI designs, I tried sketching a quick Watari redesign and think there might just be a sweet spot between staying true to the characters for the sake of my presentation and different enough that the creator would not feel ownership if they saw it but we'll see

Either way, it's probably safe for me to say I won't get it done before New Year's, or maybe I'll do it all in the holiday break and be conflicted over whether to hold on to it until January or let it go live immediately, don't know, but I work on it every day and cannot wait to let my thoughts and feelings leave my head and reach somebody else

Thanks for reading 🧡

2/2 of the comic

Kanny and Gothita smile at each other as Junpei answers her question:

"After June we won't see each other anymore so I thought... Well, I heard these grow up to be REALLY strong! And loyal, and always ready to peotect its trainer so..."

The final panel is a silhouette of the two characters sitting in the grass besides each other, Akane speaks.

"Jumpy... Did... You think she was a Ralts? Gothitas are actually pretty conflict averse"
"Oh..." Junpei answers before finishing the exchange by saying. "She can call on me for help then!"

Mortellana@mortellana· Nov 30

More Pokemon AU! Those who haven't already please say hi to June the Gothita 🥺 1/2 of the comic [ #pokemon ##zeroescape #fanart ]

A soft, pastel drawing of 12 year old Akane Kurashiki staring at the camera while holding her arms out towards it

A soft, pastel drawing of a Gothita looking up at the camera as it is being held by Akane's small hands

Junpei with a Rockruff jumping on his lap saying embarassedly "The story only had these (heart balls), I didn't vhoose it for a weird reason or anything."

Rockruff seems to judge him for not being more upfront about his feelings.

The Gothita is now adoringly grabbing at Akane's face, who is giggling at the ticklish feeling of it.

Akane: "Oh Jumpy you didn't have to."
Junpei: "I think she likes you already"
Akane: Most psychic types are usually pretty difficult to win over but we get along"
Junpei: "That suits you!"
Akane: "Why a gift all of a sudden?"

Mortellana@mortellana· Nov 29

Mirakane posting on this fine saturday morning I love toxic yuri #zeroescape #ztd

Secret third thing meme template by pywurm, character 1 is Akane and character 2 is Mira, from zero escape.

Time known: They lived together in D-com for like a week. Relationship otherwise: Just another person in the death game.
How this started: Only survivors of D-Com in at least one timeline.
Akane's aged 22, height of 1,58m, pronouns she/her, sexuality is aspec in some way but doesn't know what that means. Ocuppation, kidnapper is crossed off, she presents herself as a business admin.
Mira's aged 26(ish), height of 1,63m (but 1,70m with heels), pronouns she/her, doesn't label her sexuality but not straight. Occupation, serial killer is crossed off, she presents herself as a bartender.

Akane's perception of Mira is that she is shallow but not dumb, she has a bad gut feeling about her at the best of times but still has a hard time reading her. Mira's perception of Akane is that she is kooky, sheltered, uptight, not 100% socially inept but very clearly cagey about her life, kind of reminds Mira of herself before she got better at social camouflage.

What Akane gets out of this is closure about the parts of D-Com she doesn't remember, validation not in the healthiest way, and company. What Mira gets out of it is a new murder victim (yay ♡) and someone on her level to talk to, on behalf of all the crimes and deception. What attracted Akane was how forward Mira is and the chance to explore these matters of relationships and identity with someone she won't feel bad about hurting. What attracted Mira was that Akane’s very odd and not like most people and that's interesting to her.

Akane views themselves as almost definitely enemies with a few benefits while Mira views themselves as having a somewhat friendly relationship but with harsh consequences. Akane is all regrets while Mira has no regrets about the situationship. Mira somewhat respects Akane and speaks in an affectionate tone with her while Akane doesn't, neither of them would trust the other to buy milk.

A chat meme
Akane asks Mira: "What's your favorite color?"
Mira replies: "Stop asking dumb questions, ask something smart instead."
Akane, in malicious compliance, now asks: "How much sodium bicarbonate is needed to neutralize 0.8 milliliters of sulfuric acid?"
Mira answers that her favorite color is pink.

Another chat meme
Akane: "God I do not like a single thing about you"
Mira: "Tell me more"
Akane: "This isn't sexting"
Mira: "It's better than sexting tbh"

- The Ninetales is named Kyu because of course it is! Nine! A fucking lowercase q!! It is alolan because again some of the logic was diagetic so it felt better for her to have an Ice type that could help keep her cooled off than a Fire type. But also it is a pokemon that is very self-isolating and hard to find and as a result it was seen as more of a myth and deity than a real animal in Alola, and I just think Akane is very much portrayed like that with kind of an ethereal illusive quality so they have the same effect on people. Also it is a shiny and she gives it little flowers to wear like she does on her hair. This entire team has such a coordinated color palette

- The Shuppets are not actually hers! They swarm and follow the Kurashikis around for all the years they're planning their game because and I quote "It loves vengeful emotions and hangs in rows under the eaves of houses where vengeful people live." Like its a ghost that specifically thrives on grudges and vengeance, so they're there on building Q the whole time the game takes place and one latches onto Junpei afterwards and becomes a Banette within the one year frame of ZTD

Mortellana@mortellana· Nov 26

Her Espeon has the very fancy name of Rupert Rudolf Ruby but she just calls it Ruru for short! This is @graceisprettygreat suggestion as the name for her and Junpei's cat in an old pet fic of mine and we thought it'd be cute to have it here too (even if it doesn't make as much sense for her to reference rupert sheldrake as a kid haha morphogenetically compelled pokemon nickname) It was given to her as an Eevee by her parents when she was young, and is from the same litter as Aoi's which is a shiny that later evolves into an Umbreon. Espeon's pokedex reads that "It awakens its precognitive abilities in order to protect its trainer from harm"

- The Pyukumuku is named Bnubble because it's silly and cute, we looked at all the bunny pokemon we could give them and I thought it would be nice to have it be the sea bunny/cucumber plus the logic we were using was somewhat diagetic and thought it'd be nice for her to have a Water type with built-in sunscreen and status condition healing, so yeah this is the sole survivor of the whole incident and I imagine Akane has tons of pyukumuku merch the unconventionally cuteness of it really fits her vibe better than like bunearies imo

- Tenchū the ghost-type Oricorio! She needed at least one ghost and its pokedex says "It summons the dead with its dreamy dancing. From their malice, it draws power with which to curse its enemies" which is so much more metal than I was expecting from this bird and I fell in love with the idea of that for her as soon as I read it lol I also really like how it is a tradicional japanese dance style because ever since I read a couple of her design notes in ztd I just headcanon that she latches onto her cultural identity a bit more than other characters. The name is intended to both evoke chuu chuu as in the bird onomatopeia in Japanese, with that as what Akane calls it while putting up a front while the full name means something like Divine Retribution or Heaven's Punishment. Akane would get a kick of this naming convention

Akane Kurashiki and her very normal Pokémon team (+ Detailed Pkmn AU headcanons on the replies!!) [ #pokemon #zeroescape #fanart ]

Akane/June from Zero Escape as she appears in 999. She is smiling, surrounded by her Pokémon, the image is a soft lilac color that fades into white smoke behind them.
A ghost-type Oricorio sits on her shoulder, hiding one of its eyes behind its fan-like wing. An Espeon walks in front of her, curling its tail around her leg as it does so.
Akane walks hand in hand with her Gothorita, that smiles at her as she leads the way. Besides them, a Pyukumuku follows on one side and a shiny Alolan Ninetales on the other.
Standing behind them, half engulfed by the smoke, there is the somewhat sinister silhouette of her Malamar. A swarm of Shuppets also trails behind them.

Iris Sagan wearing a bunny costume that resembles Zero Jr. from Virtue's Last Reward, one of her hands has all five fingers up while one finger from the other pokes at her cheek to make up a six.

6 Days leapt! is written on one side of the hexagonal screen framing her and many other translucent hexagons surrond her for a futuristic feel.

Muscle Memory (made this shortly after catching up on the series pre kh3 and don't think I ever?? posted it for some reason??) #kingdomhearts #fanart #Sora #Roxas

A comic featuring Sora from kingdom hearts in a school uniform and drawn almost entirely in blue tones.
He is handed back a paper and a teacher offscreen says "I figured out the assignment was yours thanks to your handwriting, but make sure not to have this happen again."
Sora looks sad as he realizes the name he wrote down on the paper was not his own but Roxas'
"I didn't even notice" He says. In the last panel he's still in the classroom, alone staring at the paper. "...Sorry."
