I haven't worked on my novel in wEEKS but I slammed out two whole chapters of a fanfiction in two days-

"Fanfiction" makes it sound light and peppy and about some -inhale- oTP but it's about Zura going savage and losing everything so yeah no

I'm really hyped to write it, though, and I'm having a lot of fun. :D My novel is fun too but Imma be real, it stresses me out a lot and I've restarted it more times than I can count -- it's really nice to focus on something else for a bit.

The  f a n f i c t i o n  is called Noble Soul and it's  h u g e. It's essentially a continuation of Gintama but with Zura as the MC and more "screen time" for characters like Tatsuma (who pretty much only shows up the openings and endings) and Ikumatsu (who appears in like four episodes out of the entire anime). I have five arcs planned, but I might add more. The way I have it now, it takes place roughly five years after the Silver Soul arc.

I love Zura so much but I gotta say

Taking the pain Sorachi gave him and magnifying it times 1000 has been fun

Suffer child

You are in my hands now

Me, reading: Poor bby I want to hug ;-; Who did this to you
Me, remembering I wrote it: oh
 

Zura's first line is "Your sword will lie in the dirt with your filthy soul" and that is R A W

The entirety of chapter one is raw

I'm probably not using that word right but

R   A W

ANYWAY Elizabeth decided to make himself POV

This was supposed to be Zura's story but okay-

I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP THOUGH so it's good to have some perspective from Eli

He's like the older friend/kind of a parent/is tired of Zura's crap but loves him anyway

The devotion they have to each other is the most heartwarming thing

I'm also unmasking Eli! His  d e s i g n  I love it

He looks pretty much the same as in the flashback in the anime, but slightly off from that because of art style and all

This probably sounds weird but I really like his ears -- they're fun to draw. They go wheee

He can be seen here with Zura >:3


Zura has a scar across his eye and you find out how he got it later.

Damn Zura that's a lotta pain and grief you got there 

It's only chapter two

Let me just

Hide what I did to your family

He WILL experience happy things

Just

Not

Right

Now

Oof

I may or may not have given him an adoptive child (later on) :3

Adoptive because I don’t like Zura x Ikumatsu as a romantic ship. I like them better as close friends — that’s the closure they got in canon and I’m keeping it that way.
