Sol/Ky doujinshi idea - slash - fanart request
About that Hope and Free Sol/Ky doujinshi project people were planning a while back, would there happen to be any artists looking for some story ideas for it? Because
aphelion_orion and I may just have come up with one...
So, it started with us innocently discussing Holy Order uniforms and all the difficulties you run into when you start trying to figure out how they come off all the different bits fit together. Only that led to me bringing up the fun fact that both Order Sol and Ky have had official recoloured variants in which their hair and skin are exactly the same as usual, but the colour schemes of their uniforms have switched red to blue and blue to red - or, as I can't help but think of them, "the versions from that time when Sol and Ky got up in the dark early in the morning and grabbed the wrong uniforms" (whaaaaat, you think the game designers had an innocent reason for switching their colour schemes like that? XD;). And while our merriment at that idea may have been slightly dashed by that minor problem where there's no way they'd ever actually fit each other's uniforms, that got us thinking - hey, there's still their belts, right? Those could come in one-size-fits-all, and those could easily have gotten accidentally switched without either of them noticing... XD You can all see where this is going, I'm sure.
Naturally that could only lead us to more ideas about Ky spending the rest of the day wandering through his duties, quite oblivious to the fact his belt suddenly doesn't read 'Hope' anymore, but all his men are either too polite or too terrified to tell him. So now if anyone wants to take up the challenge, I would *love* to see fanart based on this image. You could, say, have Ky on one side, innocently announcing something like "I don't know where you get all these ridiculous ideas about me and Sol," and Sol on the other looking down, having suddenly realised he's wearing the wrong belt and being all "oh fuck." I may be willing to offer bribes even. *cough*
Or, getting back to what I was saying about the doujinshi project, I'm sure by the time Ky's slightly traumatised men start madly trying to come up with any plausibly innocent explanation for how their belts could have wound up switched like that, I could easily have enough material to turn this idea into a short gag script. I mean, it'd fit with the doujinshi title perfectly and everything! All we'd need is an artist. >.>






Wow, we are sharing a brain tonight :D
As the er, person who people seem to ask, yeah, I can SADLY tell you that those are their normal uniforms, just with the colours switched (there are differences between them unfortunately, and I can tell on sight whose uniform is whose, no matter what the colours are). (If you care, for reference: their belt plates are different shapes, and their collars and tabards are different.)
However I would totally pay Ky just grabbing the wrong belt in the morning, because as we have SEEN, our boy sometimes isn't that observant when it counts *cough* Also: terrified. DEFINATELY terrified :D
LOOKING DOWN AND FACEPALMING! Man, if I could DRAW I would totally do this.
...uh. I wonder if Min and I would fit each other's costumes. *cough*
