(Random, but I love that this:

Is what we got in the OVA, I don’t think the specials showed it (since I don’t have it, but only showed Snake eating stone when he got hit), and this:

Is the face we got in the anime, which is more faithful-ish to the manga which was:

…Funny that the OVA had Kid keep the monocle in the tunnel like the manga, but the specials and OVA had it off afterward to match the manga. Like, the monocle can only come out of the tunnel in the same state it went in. :V )

(Finally free for now~ (though not from icons, from work, much better). …Aaand…

…Welp. …I should do something. Maybe an amv? I mean, I’d make lists like most people, but tends to not be my thing, since I’d end up picking practically everyone I interact with and then some. Amv sounds better and will help me get rid of some of these on the list to do.

Though I know quite a few personal blogs started following because of my reflections posts, hope y’all aren’t too scared off if I start RPing again. Trust me, if I try getting all my drafts out/sorted, I’ll give a warning, maybe tag the reply wave if I end up doing it.)

(…For a visual telling of why I really don’t like the worser quality scans to work with. And why they slow things to a halt…)

(Bonus)

(I may have taken almost any panel wit Kaito in it to edit. Tiny Kai’s that will likely not be used. V: )

(Pretty sure this is the busiest icon… Thank heaven I just kept it as is and only made white, white and black, black. (Cleaned it from greys essentially. No real editing/removing involved. Because dang that would have taken a while…))

(Might have to call out on that last one. Chikage’s only travelling and such in the anime from the get-go. She was home in the manga beginnings, so it’s more likely she started travelling to help Kaito internationally. Since they still keep contact with each other via vid calls, I doubt canon Kaito is all that distant from his mom. Just to lessen some feels, though certainly not to discourage them, and going by animated only, that would be a very probable reason. Depends on what’s being pulled from more, so this is more a reminder that that’s not always the case.)
