My full piece for @knifesedgezine.bsky.social was a collab with the wonderful @mistresseast.bsky.social! I had the pleasure of getting to illustrate her fic, The Autopsy of Akechi Goro. The zine's leftover sale is until April 1st! 🔪https://knifesedgezine.bigcartel.com/ #akeshu #shuake cw gore

A sickly yellow light wraps around Akira, who has an unfocused stare fixed on the dead body of Goro Akechi on an autopsy table. Looming next to him and staring directly at him is also the dead body of Goro akechi, his chest cut open, bloody ribs and innards and heart exposed, staring accusatorily at Akira in turn while blood seeps from his eyes.

Summer's in full swing! When you're caught in that heat while walking around Manila, nothing's better than a quick bite of dirty ice cream~ This is my full piece for Winds of Blessing, an Akeshu travel zine. Leftover sales are on until September 7!! ☀️☀️☀️https://shuaketravels.bigcartel.com/

Goro and Akira eating ube and cheese ice cream on a hot summer's day. Both are wearing light summer clothing. The sun shines down hard on them and the mass of foliage behind them as they attempt to cool off. A colorfully hand-painted ice cream cart waits nearby, a popular and familiar sight in the streets of Manila, Philippines.

An excerpt from the poem "The War of Vaslav Nijinsky," by Frank Bidart. 1/2. — #akeshu #February2

Page 1 of 7

A panel of Maruki, standing and holding his hand out to the viewer. Azathoth's tentacles fill up the negative space behind him. Everything is mostly in black and white, with the tentacles tinted blue.

Dialogue: God said: GOD MADE YOU.

Page 2 of 7

The viewer turns out to be Akechi, sitting on the floor and looking up at Maruki's outstretched hand with an unreadable expression. Azathoth's tentacles surround him.

Dialogue: GOD DOES NOT CARE IF YOU ARE "GUILTY" OR NOT.

Page 3 of 7

A closeup of Akechi's face, full of contempt, disgust, and maybe a hint of fear. His outline jitters. His eyes are red.

Dialogue: I said:

a drink for the horror that i'm in for the good guys and the bad guys for the monsters that i've been — happy birthday, akechi.

Prince Crow laughs and clinks a glass of red wine against Black Mask's. The latter's expression is unreadable. Their eyes glow yellow behind their masks. In the background hangs a picture of Goro Akechi giving a static smile, with his eyes obscured. The photo is surrounded by a black funeral frame.

And here's my second piece for the akeshu #rivalszine, a collaboration with malevolentmango. I had the pleasure of making an illustration for their beautiful fic, 'all the words i couldn't say'. It's such a lovely read❣️ Make sure to check it out! archiveofourown.org/works/54617059

Goro and Akira hold each other tightly as they share a long overdue kiss. The room is lit by a sunset glowing through the window. Letters written by Goro to Akira are scattered in the air around them.

Your move, detective. — Here's the cover I made for the akeshu #rivalszine! Thank you to all who contributed!

The image perspective is tilted slightly to the right. Goro and Akira are sitting at a table and playing chess in the attic. The window behind them floods the room with a soft, golden light. Goro is holding one hand to his chin in thought while the other moves a white rook. He smiles at Akira in challenge, and Akira rests his face in one hand while confidently returning the look. He seems to be making some kind of teasing remark. Below the table, Goro's legs are crossed. One of his legs rests flirtatiously between Akira's own, touching against one.

I tried going against my own soul's warning — repaint of an old akeshu piece!

A picture of Persona 5's Joker tenderly kissing Crow's hand. Dozens of candles glow in the background. Crow is out of frame.

so what if you're a ghost of yourself? you can haunt me

Two dimly lit close-ups of Akira laying on his back with his hands laced around the back of Goro's neck, pulling him close. In the upper image, they're having a quiet moment looking at each other. Goro has a glassy look in his eyes. In the lower image, Akira has pulled him into a kiss. Goro has closed his eyes, and his tears threaten to fall.

Goro and Akira playing the pocky game. Goro's hand holds Akira's face, and both of them are smirking at each other in challenge.

So, you kiss him, and he doesn't move, he doesn't pull away, and you keep on kissing him. And he hasn't moved, he's frozen, and you've kissed him, and he'll never forgive you, and maybe now he'll leave you alone. - Richard Siken — xuexiao,

You look like you've seen a ghost. — 👻👻👻 It's been a year since @tzviaariella.bsky.social published A Call from the Grave, but I still think about it (and the rest of Brigverse) every day of my life. Happy Halloweekend! Read the amazing Brigverse series here: archiveofourown.org/series/2626924

The deck of a pirate ship at night. Two bodies, Kamoshida's and Shido's, lay dead on the floor. The vengeful ghost of Goro Akechi glows eerily as he stands in the center of the carnage. The left side of his face is bleeding, and he has one hand over it seemingly to staunch the flow. His other hand, nails grown into inhuman talons, is held out and dripping with blood.
