Renzou/Koneko has such a potential and yet I've only just heard of it. Hmmm makes me want to write something in with it because wow. Talk about angst. Angst isn't usually my thing but if given the right pairing, the right character dynamics? Oh yes.

@ justicecadet
I think that's because I'm the only one who writes a manipulative Mephisto in that ship... |'D Then again I've probably written >50% of everything there is of them, considering the size of that work. Yeah, "oddly" is a good word. It's common to focus on what I think of as the positive aspects of Mephiro and just sort of ignore the negative ones; which means ignoring a very large part of Mephisto's personality. =/ He's a manipulative egotistical douchebag: while I can see why that doesn't look like something appealing to work with for a ship, it would be way more fun to see someone take up that challenge rather than "soften him" to fit into a more conventional relationship. I kinda hoped to inspire people to do that by showing that it is possible, but so far meh, nothing. x'/ I'm still not completely sure what to make of Mephisto, but he leans heavily towards the villain side of the cast in my mind.

Ah, so I've just stumbled into the Toukio HQ? I guess sometimes even I have luck. ^.^

There's just too little fanwork made of the older generation. :'( I really like them, too. They've been around for a while, and already have the kind of interesting stories behind them (and between them, judging by certain families' behaviour) that we see the young 'uns creating in the present. I wouldn't mind trying to write something centered around the Myou Dha. All the families - Houjo, Shima, Miwa, Suguro - seem very distinct and fun to work with. It surprised me that Tatsuma/Shirou was a thing, at first, but I can totally see that working - many similarities between them, for sure, and they would have such an interesting influence on each other.

Hmh, I'm a storyteller more than a visual artist. It's just a better medium for my imagination, both input- and output-wise. ^_^' I've been through your thread in the Fan Works section, and I love the humorous touch and Saburouta's freckles gotta love those freckles. Yukio could use some of that to gain perspective on his situation? Or just add a few more degrees minus to his icy, disapproving glare. He reads gags and comedy, he should be able to see the fun in it...? x')

@ Billie
Wow, you're reading my-?

*_*

WHERE CAN I FIND KONEKO/SHIMA?? Heavens know I've wanted to see excursions into Konekomaru's personality, and with the heartbreaking potential of that why do I feel like an awful person who wants all characters to suffer? I need to see it. *leans over to Inuyoshie* Oh, what's that you were saying...? 83

Never say no to shameless advertising! x)

@dimwit Yeeeah I may or may not be writing some Koneko/Renzou. It'll take me longer than the Toukios since I've never written Konekomaru before so I need to slip into his character. But I've got an idea, a good idea, a loovely idea. (I'll prolly post a link up here or sommit)
(Yeah the Toukio squad got summoned here)

@Dimwit: Well you really gotta know where to look to find fan stuff of the older characters. I don't read much fanfiction; primarily I look at pixiv and twitter so I don't really know much about the English fandom. I've definitely seen some Myou Dha fans, some of the older folks, the younger folks and imagining the older folks when they were still teens.
hmm ahah I thought about taking down my art thread. mostly because I posted too many pics but also because I have so many more than I don't like to choose favorites. all my old ones (2011-2012) are on pixiv a lot of the newer stuff (2013) is on tumblr. I like doing gag comics but lately I feel like doing serious stuff. (sorry if you can't read some of them - I think some of them have English translationsb).

I guess I like Shirou/Tatsuma because it reminds me of Rin/Bon. I guess it strikes me as a friendly rivalry almost? Maybe not rivalry but they would butt heads in a friendly way. Especially Shirou would just do stuff to tease and piss off Tatsuma just for a joke. 
Also Koneko/Shima shipper ^q^ I might still like Shimasugu more but the Kyoto arc completely changed my opinion of Koneko. At the beginning I thought he was more bland than Takara and the anime made me really dislike him. But Kyoto and the school mysteries really made me like him.

So apparently Shima x Yukio is a thing? It seems totally cracky but then you realize they're total opposites yet thrust into the same situation of having a 'better' older brother and are inwardly sick of meeting someone's expectations or feeling inadequate.

I support this paring!

Yeah i've been thinking of Shima and Yukio for a while now and i'd like to see some more interactions between them but in a nonromantic way.

At this point, I am not even sure why Yukio doesn't hate Shima. Shima = Illuminati = allies with Toudou. They will explode in each other's faces.

I don't think they know Toudo's planning something with the Illuminati do they?

Yukio knows that Toudou is part of the Illuminati. He just can't tell anyone else.

Though I'm curious, why do you want to see interactions between them? What brought this on?

I'll have to reread those chapters then I guess, it has been awhile.

I was just thinking usually it's Rin that emotionally connects with the characters but regarding part of your post with both of them being sick of meeting others expectations I think it would be easier for Yukio to do that than Rin. But I also can't see Yukio opening up like that yet.

Now that I think about it, it would be the opposite, with Shima telling Yukio that strength isn't everything and he needs to sit back and enjoy life. So Shima would be the one to connect with Yukio, assuming he is put in a situation where he can seriously reflect on what he's doing. THEN maybe Yukio to Shima.

Or maybe if Yukio Face Heel Turns too.

I'm writing a non-shipping fanfic which continues off of the current chapter where Yukio and Shima will eventually be contrasted... but Yukio's going crazy and thinks(or knows) Shima is dangerous...so :/. Also I really need more fuel.

You supported Shima x Yukio before I said anything about it though, right? I saw it on your tumblr, that's why I brought it up. Why is that? Like I said, I need some more ideas.

I have the first chapter up and I'm almost done with the second. No Shima has shown up yet, and that interaction will happen several chapters in...But if you want to see Yukio start to realize rescuing Shima is a BAD idea...because Shima is too much like Toudou and himself...that does happen in the first chapter XP.
