Artwork
My favorite doodle of them :3 it's Takeshi having to cut Yuu's nails because he refuses to do it himself... Yuu's very cat-coded.
Pic of them as kids! Takeshi is trans btw, totally forgot about that myself, honestly!
The first drawing of Yuu, and then the redrawing I don't even like anymore LOL...
I don't even remember drawing this one, it's Yuu and [REDACTED 2] (old friend's OC) being totally normal. I swear I make male OCs that aren't gay...
Takeshi wearing his old uniform that he pretty obviously grew out of. I think this doodle's cute, despite not looking much like him...
Takeshi wearing the shirt of [REDACTED], I think? Takeshi's a tall guy so it's comically small on him.
A somewhat useful reference pic of the back of Takeshi's tattoo, and a doodle featuring Yuu's best friend [REDACTED]. I think the relationship between Takeshi and that one was that [REDACTED] had a crush on Takeshi, and though he didn't reciprocate, he found it funny to tease him about it...? I'm pretty sure that's how it was...
Story
Yuu and Takeshi are brothers, and technically I made them together with two other OCs with a friend, but we fell out several years ago, so now they're all mine!
I haven't used them in a very long time, but rediscovered them after scrolling through old artwork. I should probably make use of them at some point, but I have so many male OCs at this point that I'm kinda bored.
Also, without the old friend's OCs, they kinda lose all their charm. Thought I might as well put them here since they have a few artworks and I like their dynamic.
DISCLAIMER: Yuu and his friends are supposed to be in their last few months of highschool I'm pretty sure, but these days I would've just put them in college instead. I was 18-19 when I made them, and probably didn't understand how weird the (technically legal) age gap between Takeshi and the boy with a crush on him was... If I ever decide to reboot these I'll change these things, of course!
Here's some stuff from their old Toyhouse pages from 2020 (who needs toyhouse now!! neocities 4ever!!):
Yuu is... A big idiot honestly. He's incredibly oblivious to love, and completely uninterested in girls (or boys for that matter). Growing up with his childhood friend, and close neighbor, [REDACTED], he lived a generally calm and joyful life. Although shrowded in mystery surrounding his family, of which only his older brother Takeshi makes an appearence.
In highschool he encounters [REDACTED 2], who he totally takes an interest in... even though he doesn't realize that himself.
His aloof and almost rude behavior might make people a bit nervous to approach him, but in reality he loves his friends and follows [REDACTED] around like a puppy.
As Yuu's older brother by two years, Takeshi is a more predictable person. His general mannerisms and appearence make someone immediately recognize him as Yuu's brother, and also serves to confuse [REDACTED] who didn't even know he existed. Takeshi is very protective over his brother, even going to interrogate his partners to make sure they're good enough.
Even though Takeshi may have a huge tattoo, and definitely a delinquent past, he now works as a nurse for a retirement home. He enjoys taking care of people and animals, and deep down has a very kind heart.
