The graphic is in full greyscale. The art features a western/cowboy AU with Joker on horseback (Morgana is his horse) greeting Goro Akechi. Joker is leaning down with his hands holding Goro’s shoulder and the top of his hat, and Goro is holding his arm in return. They’re happy to see each other, though Morgana is giving them a side-eye. The background displays a field by hillside with the blazing sun peeking over. Art by: ghostsjogging. The text wrapped in a lasso reads:

It's big bang posting day!

Goro invites Akira to the Destinyland theme park for a perfectly planned day of meticulous fun. Who told the other thieves they could come?

i don’t have plans to do anything with this but i really like the idea of shuake messing around during the 3rd semester, akechi pretending he’s dead for a while after cause he wants to, and then when akechi finally does run into ren again he pretends he doesn’t remember anything from 3rd semester

A zoomed out view of a room in Maruki's Palace. It's completely destroyed, with chairs upended and broken helmets and wires strewn everywhere. In the middle of it sits Joker, his head hidden in his hands. Goro stands over him at a distance. The text on the image reads: "The Happiness Game."

I teamed up with @shouldbeworking.bsky.social for the Tanabata Big Bang! Your writing made me so insane, I did not one (1) but SEVEN (7!!) illustrations for it. I can't wait to see everyone collectively lose their minds too. (1/2)

Goro fits a chair under a doorknob in a dark, dreary room. The door is already locked shut with multiple types of locks and bars. To Goro's left on the wall is a poster with a smiling face that says 'Be Happy!' There is another poster below which reads: 'Rules: 1) Wish your way to happiness. 2) If happiness is elusive, review the orientation material.'

Ren tackles Goro while Goro holds a smoking gun. The Phantom Thieves in pajamas look on in horror.

Ren and Goro sit on a bed in a cozy bedroom. On a nearby desk is a Jack Frost plush. Hanging on the wall are several posters: a Phantom Thieves poster, an advertisement for the Jazz Jin, and a poster of Mona looking dour with 'Hang in there Mona' written beneath him. Ren is in his pajamas and Goro is in his Metaverse costume, sans helmet and one of his gauntlets. Ren's hand covers Goro's bare hand on the bed as he looks at him with an adoring expression, and Goro smiles without looking back at him.

Joker stands over Goro. Joker is holding his knife and has a look of shock on his face. Below him, Goro is mostly covered up by the broken helmet on his head, multiple wires coming out the top of it. The small hint of clothes Goro is wearing looks suspiciously like his Detective Prince blazer.

Goro faces the viewer, surrounded by smiling helmets as he wears a broken and cracked one on his head. He has a pleasant smile on his face and he's wearing his Detective Prince school uniform. The text on the image reads 'You came for me, Ren.'

Goro and Ren are locked in a mockery of a waltz, with Ren holding Goro's hand out and away from him and Goro leaning in close to Ren's face. They're both blushing and Ren looks close to tears as Goro murmurs to him. The text on the image reads, 'Oh, that's gorgeous. I love that miserable look on your face.'

The graphic is in full greyscale. Joker and Akechi are tucked in the corner of a dingy public bathroom stall. Joker is covered in bruises and bandages, and Goro is kneeling over him tending to his wounds. Joker is pissed, and Goro is stressed about their situation, unsure how he should feel but determined to see it through now that he’s made his choice. His phone reads midnight on November 21.

between all the project work i managed to do something just for me and, considering that i am very basic, it's just another shuake kiss. but... spicier. #shuake #akeshu #ghostart

Goro holds Akiren against a wall in mementos, holding his neck as they kiss with tongue. They both have cuts on their faces. Everything is bathed in a red glow with sickly green undertones.
