I can't stop thinking about @good-ravio-art's blobio design

[cryingtulips]

I love the way I both headcanon Vio as ace and as the freakiest freak to have ever freaked. The asexual bookworm is a classic trope that I love BUT he's also dating the shape shifting shadow monster that tried to kill him. so

Day 1 - Love (Platonic/Romantic/Friend)

The trope of this day is Favorite AU! picked my Creatures AU cuz it is a crime that i don't draw them often!

They're sleepy bunnies and wanted to rest, and what better way to take a nap than some cuddles??

thank you @breannasfluff for this fantastic event! im excited to participate :D

(this one is free to interpretation, you can have them as friends, queerplatonic or romatic, whatever you want!)

Things in my offline life have been (and in many ways continues to be) quite busy, but rest assured these guys still live in my head rent-free.

a ghost’s comfort

@fluffyfebruary 2025 Day 21: Embrace

Femslash February 2025 Day 8: Ghost

Ao3 link || Hurt/comfort

---

Vio dreams of darkness, of sharp fangs glinting in moonlight as red eyes glow, claws that never hurt, and laughter in an impish voice.

She dreams of shifting shades, the darkness leaving before swirling back in. The fangs are bare now, and the red eyes squint in fury. The claws draw blood where they swipe at her as the voice snarls. The shade leaves betrayed, and Vio’s sorrow silences her mute.

Vio dreams of Shadow. She dreams of old hopes and whispered wishes exchanged in cold corridors. She dreams of mistakes; actions she should’ve made, words she should’ve said. She dreams of her regrets. She might be drowning in them, for her grief crashes in waves and is determined to pull her under.

But then a hand reaches out, and even though the claws are there, she knows they don’t mean harm. They never did, not truly, because there’s too much between them for hatred to seep its rotten touch into.

They’re gentle as they hold her, detangling short strands with an expertise that makes tears cling to her lashes, because the only person who did this is gone. But there’s humming in her ears, short little tunes, and only then does she clings to the idea that everything will work out.

She doesn’t know how long she hallucinations—because these sensations have to be false. Shadow is gone, and it’s something she’s not…she can’t accept a reality where Shadow can’t be by her side. She’s been trying to find a way to bring her back, but nothing has been working. No book has the answer, and if they did there’s the high probability Vio doesn’t have the magic to achieve her wish.

Shadow’s death is her fault, and nothing is alright anymore. But when she blinks her eyes open, she’ll see those ruby eyes looking back at her, face to face, and everything feels normal again. She’ll be able to feel another body’s weight in her arms, and sunlight will glint off those sharp fangs when the being smiles. When Shadow kisses her, she’ll feel weight on her lips, and when words are whispered, she’ll feel breaths of air hit her skin.

It’s cruel to have the illusion of a ghost embrace her in such a way, but it’s something Vio desperately wants to be real. Her breath hitches as the phantom’s form fades, her last words freezing Vio where she lays.

“Everything will be alright, my love. The answer is closer than you think.”

vio gets a little stupid around shadow. like yeah theyre really smart and they know wtf theyre doin but if u put them near shadow for more than five minutes, theyre giving into all their stupid impulses and there is nothing u can do about it.
