THANK YOU!!!! <33333

Well, Snot Week 2017 is over and we’re closing up shop, but it was FABULOUS.  We got to over 100 posts!!  And they were all very, very awesome~

Thank you so much everybody for making this such an exciting and fun week.  We could’ve set up everything but it still wouldn’t have been an event at all without ya’lls involvement and enthusiasm.  We’re both humbled and grinning our faces off at this great and creative community!  (Old and small fandoms can still go hard, eh??)

All the submissions will remain archived on this blog and they’re categorized by #fanart, #fics, and #other media, so feel free to continue browsing!  I’ll be keeping a lookout on this blog for another couple weeks if there are any stragglers who would like to submit something for the prompts (just please remember to @snotweek !)

BUT WAIT THE FUN’S NOT OVER!!  Remember to check out the super snazzy Otasune Zine !!  Organized by our own @141-point-12 ~

And our fandom’s propensity for awesome isn’t over either.  Next month is Femslash February and MGS fandom is throwing a femslash fest FOR THE WHOLE MONTH!  Check out @mgsff and @galentinesweek

There’s even talk of another bosselot week in the future.  And a rarepairs week!  So stay rad and enthusiastic, mgs fandom.  Keep creating!! <3

SnotWeek almost over? Still hungry for more Otasune?

Never fear, the “Notasune Manga Rec” list is here! That’s right, carefully curated yaoi manga selections that are “close enough if you squint” to give you those “Nerd and his Tough Guy” feels you so desperately crave. Let’s get started! (Standard “Problematic Yaoi” tropes apply, please tread lightly.)

Hasegawa is on his way home from work in Akihabara when he decides to help a man from getting robbed. Hasegawa gets hurt and the man he tried to help takes him home to recover.

Some really fun interactions between an “uninitiated normal” and a genuine Akihabara dwelling otaku. Also a lot of neat, kinda realistic glimpses of the Akihabara area!

Tomoe Tatsumi is a freshman attending university in Tokyo. Life couldn’t be better: he’s living in a really nice apartment for less than most people pay for a single room. This is all thanks to Mitsugu Kurokawa: salaryman, landlord, and (hopeful) lover. It is due to Kurokawa’s generosity that Tatsumi is able to live in Tokyo on such a tight budget. Kurokawa’s intention is clear: to love, honor, and cherish Tatsumi until his dying days! And if big brother Souichi Tatsumi has his way - that day will come sooner than not! For Kurokawa, progress can only be made by “challenging the impossible….”

This is… one of my favorite things I’ve read in a long time? The retro art style (at least to begin with) was a lot of fun for me, and I like how sweet and accepting Mitsugu tries to be of Tomoe’s boundaries (basically Ace, just a heads up) - something he is still working out for himself. 

Quiet, sweet story of an emotionally shuttered university sempai and his conversationally clumsy junior. Sharing the same last name and a love for classical music brings them together a little. But will this be enough to bridge the gap between the sempai’

This is just a sweet college story with a more relaxed pace and storyline as opposed to high drama. A relaxing and sentimental read.

Tomoe Karuma is an up and coming ero-mangaka who is a pro at creating tantalizing sex scenes in his work, but is clueless about relationships in the real world. It’s up to his hunky editor to teach him a thing or two about love between real people. 

Tomoe is a cute af megane and his editor isn’t half bad either. This story is kind of adorable and the unexpected moe-kinkster aspect is a welcome change from the usual.

Scientist Eric Stuart has been kidnapped! To rescue him, Steve McDaniel, an elite soldier, must infiltrate the enemy’s fortress, find the kidnapped scientist, and bring him home.

Kind of… the Notasune manga. To say this yaoi was “inspired” or “influenced” by Metal Gear would be a huge understatement. Most fans agree this probably started as a doujinshi that got out of hand. 

Looking for some more “Notasune” picks? Check out the short list I’ve compiled over on mangago! PLEASE READ TAGS BEFORE YOU PROCEED TO READ ANYTHING AND GET CRANKY AT ME. I AM BUT A LOWLY SNOT SHIPPER DOIN’ MY BEST.

Happy @snotweek ! I actually got something done on time. x_x

Did a piece for the final day here, with the theme “Dress Up” so here’s Snake and Otacon outside after some fancy event they attended. Walking home and taking a smoke break. :)

I’m enjoying working with limited pallets for things I’m making here. It forces me to keep things simple and actually FINISH them.

When Hal insists they “dress up” for Christmas, it turns out they have very different interpretations of what that means.

So here’s the last first kiss variation for @snotweek. I know it’s a bit late for slilly little Christmas fluff but I wrote it around Christmas and there’s always time for silly little Christmas fluff, right?! ;D

Thanks for all the fun and awesome comments!! <3

Snake returns from Operation N313, lauded a hero and finds the latest shipment of Foxhound recruits already at the camp. Still struggling to sort out his thoughts about the mission, he finds his attention drawn to one rookie in particular, a scrawny, unassuming runt who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. (For SnotWeek 2017 - “Recovery”)
