Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 21: Music & Lyrics

Die Welt steht still // The world stands still zwischen uns // between us Mach die Augen wieder auf // Open the eyes again Atme langsam wieder aus // Breath out again Die Welt steht still // The world stands still

[Die Welt steht still - Revolverheld]

"Die Welt steht still" is about two people who slowly drifted away from each other. They have changed over time and each of them has made a lot of mistakes which are now mounting up in between them and creating some sort of an invisible wall. He sings that he doesn't know whether it's too late to forgive all of that, to see each other anew, but he is willing to try it. It's all up to the other.

What really impressed my about this song is the video. It adds a complete new layer of meaning to it. You can see a woman who is pulled out of a river and people running her way trying to save / reanimate her. It was actually this life saving aspect that really caught my attention.

With the woman coming back around during the end of the video it is very clear how the story in the song is supposed to end, I rather wanted to show the uncertain state before the decision instead. I'm not sure myself though, whether this will be a "life saving" or a "going down together" story or something else completely.

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 20: Teamwork

[Wir sind unzertrennlich // We are inseparable wir sind unvergänglich // we are everlasting Wir sind unzertrennlich // we are inseparably in unserer Welt verloren // lost in our world] [Unzertrennlich – Revolverheld] "Lea, are you even listening?“ "Uhm – sometimes?“ Actually I was just lost in my thoughts somehow. Happens from time to time. "Sometimes? You are aware that school starts in three days?“ "Yeah, I know, I was just thinking …“ "Thinking.“ You sounded as though you doubted I could do that even if I tried. "I thought 'I hope we can always be together like that'“, I said straight enough. And of course you’re caught of guard. And of course I can see your face brighten up, almost shine for one moment, before you turn back to your usual sarcastic pokerface. "Stuck up in homework? No, thank you.“ Still, I can see the little smile you can’t hold back and I know that you are wishing for it just as much as I do. Then again, I already knew that before, didn’t I?

I love it when Axel explains summer vacations in 358/2 Days. I can't help but imagine him and Isa doing exactly that, postponing homework to the very last moment and just somehow managing to get it done in time together. I don't know, this thought makes me just so happy xD

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 19: Quotes

I'll always be there to bring my friends back.

(I can’t escape from a dark reality that has built up to this point. The walls are closing in, and I’m stuck inside.

Hold on. I’m coming for you, no matter what it takes.)

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 31: Free Day

»You know, Isa. I think I really love you. Like really really.« »You're an idiot.« »Haha. No really, I mean it. I love you, Isa.« »I love you too, Lea. … really really.«

I wanted to upload this for AkuSaiDay, but the odds where against me. It seems it just shouldn't be. xD

No really. *sigh*

I was thinking a lot about what I would do for that day. You know yesterday/today is a special day for me as well, because it's my third anniversary as a fan of AkuSai :) (it was the night from the 7th to the 8th of August, yep I remember it exactly. And yes, the date is a coincidence. xD) I was thinking of making a special for that day, showing you my embarrassing first sketches and a few other drawings and while I was searching my old drawings I stumbled across a sketch that showed them both lying in bed somehow like that. I found it nice and well, that's the story how I came to this motif.

I hope you all had a great AkuSaiDay! :)

Lea & Isa

When I was playing 358/2 Days for the first time a few years ago I suddenly wondered what Axel's real name would be, so I started turning around the letters of his name. I got to the conclusion, that it's probably Lea very quickly - simply and plainly because Lea is a girl's name. I was laughing my ass off, when I realized that I was right. When I started to get an interest in Saix I did the same thing for his name. I thought matching to Lea he should have a girl's name too, so I decided for Isa as my guess. The joke wasn't nearly as funny the second time.

Really, who gave them those names? And was he aware that they are girl's names? ö _ ö" (even though they are pronounced in a different way) Well I knew a Lea once, I knew a Isa once, so ever since BBS I wanted to draw a genderbend version of Lea and Isa influenced with features of the Lea and Isa I knew. Yup, here they are :D

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 15: Tears

This was the motif I wanted to do for Day 10: Repentance, but then that comic came in between me and my plans so I decided to keep it for this day. I came up with this at 4:30 in the morning, in this strange state between dreaming and waking. I'm the most creative in these moments, but it's always kind of hard to explain things afterwards ö_ö" It makes sense in an emotional way. xD

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 10: Repentance

Thank you, Lea.

Read from left to right.

I highly doubt that gaining a heart again will be a pleasant experience for Isa. Lea, be a darling and HELP HIM.

By the way, I am convinced that Lea will return Isa's heart, I mean really why else would you give this character a keyblade? He doesn't even count as one of the seven lights.

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 8: Banter

"Man, I wish I had funny friends", Lea sighed while he leaned on Isa's shoulder. Isa leveled a glare at him and his voice took on a very dry tone: "Well, you're already enough of a clown for both of us. Thrice." Yet when Lea started to grin and said that he was proooobably right about that, Isa couldn't help smiling. "You're an absolute idiot." It wasn't what he had wanted to say, but he knew Lea would understand it anyway. He always did.

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 7: Fluffy

Good morning, love.

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 6: Sun & Moon

Every day is followed by night, and every night is followed by yet another day. So we are inseparable, connected for all eternity.

Only one picture today (and quite late as well x'D), because this one is bigger then the others (I'm not used to draw on DIN A4 anymore @_@) and more accurate (because I plan on finishing this one, like you know, with actual lines and color; but knowing myself this will take days if not weeks, so, well, still a sketch. I will finish a few of the other sketches as well (until now day 2 and 4 are planned), guess I will reupload them when I'm done :D)

This prompt actually came in quite handy, because I had to draw a "reference" for my The Moon cosplay anyway. (I thinks it's quite stupid to draw a reference picture after doing the cosplay, but the website I'm uploading my cosplays to is quite strict about refs so ... whatever.)

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 4: Sparkle

Those days with you were the happiest of my life.

Fyodor and Dazai first met when they attended the same seminar for dramatic bitches.

Fyodor: My cape flutters more dramatically than your coat. 

Dazai: oH GAME ON ASSHOLE
