princess mononoke crossover for an au challenge a while agoooooo (most of these are referenced from film screenshots)
i'm pretty sure i've seen kurapika as san before (and rightfully so) but i had to be predictable and draw melody as ashitaka, because:
(...i'm guessing that's probably mostly about the "curse that changes your body and also gives superhuman powers" thing, but i ran with it lol. I do think Melody's attentiveness to strangers' heartbeats and emotions kinda jives with Ashitaka's curiosity about other people, and they both seem to have a habit of going out of their way to help people they just met - maybe even meddling a little more than everyone else would initially want haha)
aaand sorry to be cringe but I couldn't do a mononoke crossover without this scene:
...okay not quite that scene - but I think "don't recklessly throw your life away" is a little more Melody-coded than randomly telling a stranger they're hot lol
