there is like vague context to this

and it is technically an AU Kai, though not a crossover one or anything, just one of those ‘if 1 thing changed’ deals, but

i ain’t gonna explain it right now

I made… a playlist for my Lumi on 8tracks.

It’s mostly instrumentals with 3 vocal songs though, none of which have Lumi singing, but like, still, y’know.

It was kinda spur of the moment so I’d probably redo it or find better songs in the future, but for now!!

my bf saw that kai and asked me, “who is this sassy lost child”

Doodle that came up from an old thought resurfacing–

Kai is able to ‘change’ their own form, but when doing so, their colors remain.

(’change’ being either illusions or shapeshifting or a mix of both or whatnot– outright shapeshifting takes a lot more energy though. Them looking ‘normal’ is kind of a mix of both, but also easier in general since that’s kind of a. Given thing)

This is an example of that– Them looking like Rin, but their hair/eye/skin/mouth color ect.

Clothes don’t count in that though, that can be whatever. Just mainly the ‘body’.

(regardless of if it’s shapeshifting or illusions though,them going into that form looks the same– glitching into it, basically)

(also: this is the same even with non-humanoids, like if they change into/make themself look like a cat, they’d be a dark blue furred cat, or any other type of animal)

Pic I made to use as a cover for a relatively calming playlist I put together on 8tracks.

Cute and pure Rin :’D though the playlist is mostly instrumental (save for the one keroro song)

White on black is real fun,

Also, contextless breakdown, yeehaw! I mainly just had them in glitch mode or going into glitch mode in mind or something.

I keep trying to think of a cool quote to add for this, but I can’t, so.

This was just an experimental dodle but…. I like how it came out,,

temporal shenanigans doesn’t fit them, but I love the song and love that line

i glanced at some of dsp’s drawings and got the urge to sketch with the binary tool

i’ll ramble about the scarf arms, too

The scarf arms aren’t the scarf itself, but. Basically otherworldly limbs that essentially use it as a glove?

The extra arms, without the scarf, both look weird and have a big sense off off-ness to them, and feel really freaking weird too.

They’re almost kind of like shapened, hardened BR goop stuff, but also not quite? But clearly related. I kinda use the static texture since it’s fitting for Kai but also fitting for the arms off-ness too.

When going through the scarf though, none of that is apparent– I mean, aside from scarf arms being a weird thing anyway. They look like scarf, just– moving, can extend out very far,and such– but they don’t feel or look inherently off. They look like scarf, feel like scarf, act like it– though they are more durable than a scarf alone and keep the unnatural superstrength. A drawback is that even so, the scarf can still be torn or ripped as a scarf-arm, which– also feels Incredibly weird and uncomfortable to Kai, but couldn’t really be considered ‘pain’.

If the scarf is damaged though, the actual BR arms can still come out of it– just, only partially covered by the scarf. Ala the doodle from the previous post.

The BR arm itself is hard to really damage– especially since it can reform itself too. In kind of looking like the goop, it’s also able to act more like a goopy substance too– while normally solid, it sometimes drips a bit, and if its holding onto something– if Kai chooses– is could also start causing the person or thing to sink into it. If the person totally sinks into it, they end up in Kai’s personal BR void. Which– isn’t really a good thing, since if you’re in there, there’s a chance of getting assimilated into Kai which uh– is another post entirely that I might never get to.(It’s a bit on-off though, and depends on what the person has or how they are– it’s more likely with other KAITO’s though. The assimilation isn’t really Kai’s choice either– it’s something their BR does and chooses on its own, even if still (usually) based on some of Kai’s desires.)

In Phase 3, they gain an extra set of these too– which can go between being shaped as hands or being shaped as weird, jagged ‘mouths’.
