re-watermarked reuploads of these 2019 butterfly soup sketches from my inactive twitter. they’re kinda old, but i still find them cute. diyamin and outfit swaps of the main 4.
tags: akarsha/noelle, diya/min (mentioned), snapshots of high school life, angst and fluff
t/w: brief homophobic/biphobic dialogue
notes: title taken from “through the dark” by one direction. my apologies for this taking so long, but here it is – lovesick!noelle fic.
freshman year
It’s a beautiful day out. The sky is that vibrant kind of blue you only see in photographs, and there’s not a cloud to be found — a rarity for the Bay Area, Noelle thinks. There’s only a slight breeze, and the balmy weather is a delicious hint at the summer days soon to come.
The sun is warm on her back as she sits down at their lunch table, almost nailing Akarsha in the side with her lunchbox. “Alas, I have been killed,” Akarsha gasps, clutching at her imaginary wound and contorting her face into an expression of severe pain.
“Don’t be such a baby,” she says, trying but failing to keep the chuckle out of her voice. A ray of sunlight shines directly on their table, and even Akarsha can’t focus enough to continue her ruse — she gives in, tipping her head back and closing her eyes, a happy sigh escaping.
☕ anon asked: hi!! could i have a kin assessment? i’ve been looking around the blog and i find it really nice! my top kins are iida (mha), noelle (butterfly soup) and gus (the owl house)!! also, could i be anon ☕? i’ll probably come around here often!! thanks!
your kins are so cool !!! /gen now to get into it, youre very smart and put a lot of work into school, probably too much … you can come across as cold and unemotional but you really do care !! you might have trouble with social interactions / be socially awkward but you still enjoy being around your friends :) youve pulled all-nighters for school before and would probably do it again, just to finish your work. please take care of yourself ☕ anon !! :(( you can be over the top and dramatic. you try to approach things with enthusiasm. you probably get excited about the small things ! though you can be really dramatic, you would probably prefer simple gifts from those you care abt ! you love to learn new things and enjoy studying subjects youre interested in !! im gonna take a guess and say you tend to gravitate towards subjects like languages, humanities, the arts etc ?! you probably dont have the best relationship with your parents :[ i know this is kinda short eek i hope thats alright !
A rough demo of my early 2000s yuri game is out!!! It’s a relaxing game that’s impossible to fail – as a slice-of-life story, it’s a bit more aimless than Pom Gets Wi-Fi was.
Please test it out if you can!!!!
Features:
Gay
Pom’s owner (this is technically a prequel to Pom Gets Wi-Fi!)
I finally updated Akarsha and Min’s character sheets to be closer to their final in-game designs! Out of the main 4 their outfits changed the least, so I did them first.
(by the way, all the sprites/bgs in the game can be downloaded here if you missed it!)
They look pretty similar. The only drastic change is that every few years, Diya goes through a phase where she’s too lazy to cut her hair and lets it grow out. Min is the #1 fan of this, but eventually Diya feels that the hair gets in her way and cuts it back to the original length.
Here’s my Butterfly Soup fanart for the amazing @brianna-lei (for her birthday in January, I just never posted it here :p )!! Butterfly Soup is a really funny and heartfelt interactive visual novel with cute gay Asian girls, dogs, memes,…you name it, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already! It’s also really educational regarding baseball…… – a Chinese girl who knows nothing about the rules of baseball
