I AM BACK!
Hello! It's been a while (actually it's been 6 years!!!) since the last time I posted~
This is crazy but thanks to COVID-19 I had the time to blogging again hehe~
Right now, it's been around 4-5 months since the last time I had offline class (coass, I'm a student now) and we are doing online classes, so I got more free time to do my hobbies, such as drawing and cosplay >w< (and posting them all over my social media).
What I want to share this time is about manga: SnK/AoT (Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan), which (Mr. Hajime Isayama said in one of his interview) it's only 5% till the ending :(
I feel sad because I read it since between the end of middle school and beginning of high school. I can't remember maybe around 2012-2013, it was when the first hardcopy manga was published in my country, I didn't know this comic was trending, I don't think it was at that time in my country. My first impression was: the drawings look like it's just a rough sketch/draft, but the story is interesting, it catches my eyes, it's really different from all other manga's. So, I bought it every time it's updated until around vol 16-17 because I stopped to buy comics, it was around semester 2 of uni life.
But, sometimes I read it online until I stopped to read because I really can't get SnK out of my brain, I was so obsessed, but I need to focus on my study (and I thought I'll read it again when it's completed). BUT, while I do this self-quarantine, finally I watched the anime with my mom, and it made me more attached to the characters because they move, they have voices and more expressions. SO, I decided to continue reading (now until ch 129, I know 130 is out but I saw the spoilers and I think I'll wait till ch 131, which will be published on the 7th of August 2020 and it's my birthdayyyy!).
So much had happened, and now I am addicted again, I can't stop thinking about the ending possibilities, I really love the plot twists and such because I am the type who look for small details even in the drawings and kind connect everything and looking for an answer/what will happen next, so such story like SnK is really suitable for me because it's something that is difficult to predict.
Recently they published the trailer for season 4, I didn't really like Levi Ackerman drawings in there, he looked kinda different.

Levi Ackerman or Rivaelle or Heichou Levi, is one of my favorite characters besides Mikasa Ackerman. [SPOILER ALERT]→ I actually like almost everyone except for Floch Forster, at first I also hated Gabi, not only because she killed Sasha but I didn't like her first appearance, idk why I don't really like her heroic side she's so fired up and ambitious to get Reiner's titan, one part is cool but the other part she's just too bright. BUT, later I start to like her, her character development was well made by Isayama, I really like how he writes the characters and made us from hate to like or from like to hate, it's like he plays with our feeling and that's is really awesome. This manga is one of the best, I think Isayama is really a genius especially with all the foreshadowing, I wonder hong long he planned this manga before even drawing it.
and... without noticing I already wrote this many although I wanted to write less, and here's still so much in my mind that I want to tell you, but let's stop here coz I'm sure you're not reading everything HAHA
Okay... back to my hobby, I draw, I love SnK, I got more time (although still so many assignments). But, I started to draw again and trying to be more serious about it. So, I made this mini-series I call "Heichou the Cocoon". What is this? Well, I always thought that injured/bandaged/covered in blanket Levi looked like a cocoon or caterpillar, so I made it :)

| 1. Levi was sleeping in his cocoon form |
 |
| 2. Levi woked up by the smell of tea leaf |
 |
| 3. Levi loves tea leaf, will he get it? |
 |
| 4. To be continued... |
This is kinda like a mini-series, the style is chibi because I want it to be cute. IF people like it and don't feel disturbed by cocoon/caterpillar Levi, I'll continue this series, I still got other stories for cocoon Levi~
UwU
Prove he's a caterpillar/cocoon:
