Dark hair and eyes, deadpan facial expression, and perpetual eyebags? Gekkou Hayate's obviously got a 'brother from another mother'.

[Perfectly worksafe.]


You seem familiar somehow.

Two pieces this time around. Utterly worksafe.

First: A friend once made the mistake of mentioning that Sasori looks like the sort of male models which are currently rather popular. (You know the type: slim, smooth-faced, vaguely androgynous, stoic, etc.) Naturally this inspired drawing.

Second: Just for funsies, an AU RP version of him that has been kicking around lately.


( Dude looks like a lady. )

Wolfwood shrugging his way out of a nightshirt and getting ready to face the day, i.e. a perfectly valid excuse to draw the muscles in his back. Bow-chikka-wow-wow.

Possibly unintentionally provocative, so a little NSFW.


( And then, one afternoon, I knew that I could love you. )

Began originally as a "Learn How to Draw Sasori's Face and Hair" exercise.
Turned into a "Learn How to Draw Sasori's Face and Hair, and Who Cares About the Akatsuki Cloak Anyway?" exercise.


( Let's stop here, under the lit sign on the corner, and watch all the people walk by. )

Modern-day AU Mugen, of sorts. Utterly worksafe.


( I was five minutes past caring. )

Fanart featuring Vash and Wolfwood. Presumably modern AU setting -- massive wardrobe changes -- and good-natured back-and-forthing. Utterly worksafe.


There you go smiling again.

Title: Quantum Entanglement [hidden variable]
Creator: absinithium
Series: Trigun
Characters/Pairing: Vash/Wolfwood
Notes: 15 tracks. Originally, this FST was to have no outright declaration of the Vash/Wolfwood pairing. It was going to be a general FST simply traveling in Vash and Wolfwood's wake, about the road from Point A to Point B when every step is toward an uncertain future. However, I quickly found that I couldn't make them appear in the FST together without being inexplicably stuck to each other. That is to say, one could not be described without being related powerfully to the other.

Quantum Entanglement: "a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects are linked together so that one object can no longer be adequately described without full mention of its counterpart — even though the individual objects may be spatially separated."


( I am convinced God does not play dice. )

Simple fanart featuring Wolfwood of Trigun.

I tried out a somewhat stylized, 'flat' method of shading, sort of like cutout, and the angle is different from one I would normally use, but it was interesting practice.

Modern-day setting, I suppose. (Hence, AU.) Totally worksafe.


( I want you to know what I think. )

Title: Simplicity
Author: absinithium
Characters/Pairing: Tamaki/Kyouya
Rating: PG
Notes: Post!series. A lot of things change with time. Some don't. Two years later Tamaki comes back, but there's no telling what's changed and what hasn't when he's never been fully gone. Maybe Kyouya continued to wait. And maybe not.

This is a continuation of Words That Much Heavier, but it also may stand alone.

10 'macro-esque's in classic motivational poster style, featuring Yakushi Kabuto of Naruto.

Beware large images, language, and stupid.


( Yakushi Kabuto likely would not approve of this. )

Title: Words That Much Heavier
Author: absinithium
Characters/Pairing: Tamaki/Kyouya
Rating: PG
Notes: Post!series; partially stream-of-consciousness. Tamaki knew as well as Kyouya did that Haruhi simply would never be one of them; it just took him longer to accept it and let go. Kyouya waited patiently.


( You happened to me. )

Title: Leaping the Palisades
Creator: absinithium
Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Pairing: Zuko/Aang
Notes: A 12-track FST dedicated to the Zuko/Aang pairing from A:tLA. Centered upon the build-up to friends/lovers as opposed to an established relationship.

Title: Revolution [is an action word.]
Creator: absinithium
Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character: Jet
Notes: A 13-track FST dedicated to the boy-rebel Jet of A:tLA.

A revolution never began without its revolutionary, baby.

Title: Pebbles on the Sill
Author: absinithium
Characters/Pairing: Kiba/Shino
Rating: PG
Notes: It's practically the job of the Inuzuka to stick their noses into the affairs of others, if only because they care. Kiba makes a late-night house call. Shino is not amused.


( Let's water your dead flowers. )

Title: An Expanded Precis Statement
Author: absinithium
Pairing/Characters: Shino/Kiba
Rating: PG
Notes: Moments of domesticity breed an odd sort of comfort. In which Shino is ambidextrous, Kiba is vaguely aware of ‘that feeling’, and a cup of coffee is shared.

The poetry excerpts are from "Nearly a Valediction" by Marilyn Hacker.


( You were the one I didn't know where to stop. )

Title: Carpe Diem
Author: absinithium
Characters/Pairing: Jin/Touya
Rating: PG
Notes: The only things which are certain in the life of a shinobi are fighting and dying. An expressed feeling is simply expressed, if only for the purpose of having it said and done so someone doesn't kill you before you say it. Each second is an island in time, sporadic, and waiting to be siezed before the moment changes.

Written for the 30_yyh theme "Kiss".


( In the event that we encounter a problem... )

Inspiration in droves.
