#“cori” coriander

[ampersketch-art]

Lately it's been harder for me to just draw a full piece so here's a sketch of my characters from one of my story ideas species swapped (ones with lined backgrounds means that's what their species is supposed to be).

Important note: Cori is half clown so his nose carries over in all his images (minus mime because I forgot but if there's a final image i will add it)

EDIT BECAUSE I FORGOT KAIN

Bunch of Cori doodles :3

hey what do Berry Link's sisters look like? 👀

- hero-of-the-wolf

Well I’m vaguely basing them off of the six maidens in four swords, so I have a vague idea of what they look like?? I started with that anyway, and also looked at how they look in the manga since their designs are pretty.

But anyway yeah, I tried drawing them, but they need some serious work. This is the general idea I have of them tho!

Doing that OC challenge made me realize I never posted the art I did of Raziel when I designed him X'DDDD Whoops.

Here's Caela's big bro/coworker 8'D Unit name Raziel, after the angel of secrets. The 2nd pic is the mecha he piloted.

can i offer you an oc who’s going to go through absolute hell for simply existing in these trying times?

This is Coriander (She/they). Coriander has had the misfortune of being Obsidian’s bastard child

more below the cut bc this may get long after all

Random fun fact bc i’m not sure how common knowledge it is: while ‘bastard’ is a very common insult in anime, calling someone a bastard is basically saying their parents weren’t married. can you imagine someone being married to obsidian tho. it would be awful. Unless it was Jet, I guess, but whatever

also here; Cori in their Disguise(TM) (And also work uniform)

But anyways Wheeze and I were just kind of thinking about how hard it would be for people like Cori to even survive if they don’t hide funky spirit traits they get from their shithead of a father, and it evolved into ‘mmm. what if we made one of these hypothetical children’

so we did

91. A conversation

CW: institutional slavery, pet whump, dehumanisation, box boy universe

“Cory… I think we need to talk.” Lydia’s tone was cautious. Carefully gentle. “What do you think?”

Coriander had been sitting slumped against the wall on his green pillow in the kitchen. When Lydia spoke, he instantly straightened up.

“Y-yes, Miss Lydia. T-this pet needs to talk. It has been thinking.”

“Okay.”

Lydia sat down in her usual chair, facing him. For quite some time now, she had been more relaxed around Coriander. She had felt able to trust their report and that also he would be less vigilant in interpreting any gesture of hers as a sign of displeasure or censure. Now, however, she once again felt herself hyper aware of her own body language. Do not cross your arms, she reminded herself. Shoulders turned towards him, heart open, posture welcoming. She smiled, and nodded.

“I’m listening. We can talk about whatever you want.”

“T-this pet has been thinking about what.. what has happened to it. About why it is here.”

Coriander rose to his feet, perfectly graceful as usual.

“Miss Lydia, This pet did volunteer, it did. It knows it did.” He pulled a shaking hand through his blonde hair. “T-there w-was a signature, on a paper, and… and…” He shook his head. “T-this pet cannot remember. But.” He looked down at Lydia, grey eyes suddenly fierce. “B-but this pet knows that it wouldn’t have volunteered if it knew. If it knew what it was going to be like. Nobody would volunteer for that.”

He started to pace the kitchen, back and forth, his shaking hands drawn tightly into fists.

“The cold, the beatings, the starvation, the experiments, the violence, the abuse, the contempt, the neglect.” His whole body shaking, he stared unseeing out the window. “The way you are never good enough.”

Lydia could feel her whole chest ache in phantom pain as her heart hurt for him. She wanted to reach out to Cory, but she was also afraid to disturb whatever path he was on. This was probably the first time ever he named the things he’d been going through.

When he just stayed silent, breathing hard, staring out the window, she eventually said, as gently as she could.

“Cory. This is terrible, and I am so sorry that it happened to you. I’m really glad that you can start to talk about it, though. I’m here, and I’m listening to everything you want to talk about.” She paused, and when he showed no sign of even having heard her, she added. “I just want to remind you that this is never going to happen to you ever again. You are safe here.”

He whirled on her, then.

“B-but, Miss Lydia. If nobody w-wanted to buy it, this would not have happened to this pet.” He paused and swallowed. “This would not have happened to me!”

Looking down, he continued. “You have been kind to this pet, that is true. But there is a paper in the drawer there…” He pointed, his whole arm an accusing arc. “That says that you own it. Whatever you want to do to this body…” He hesitated and plunged on. “…to this soul, it is your right to do it.”

Coriander shook his head slowly, grey eyes boring into hers. Very slowly and steadily he said. “Miss Lydia, i-if it wasn’t for you - a-and many more people like you - t-this pet wouldn’t be here.”

He hung his head, then. Exhaustion and a spasm of pain flickering over his face for just an instant. Gritting his teeth, he met her eyes again.

“Miss Lydia, t-this pet needs some time alone. May it be excused to go for a walk?”

Lydia nodded quickly, biting her lip.

“Of course, Cory, whatever you need.”

The blonde young man inclined his head respectfully, but the fire in his grey eyes did not die down.

“Thank you, Mistress.”

Lydia held it together while Coriander went out into the hallway, put on his shoes and coat, and walked out the door.

It was only after she heard the sound of the latch clicking closed that she leant down on the smooth, wooden surface of the kitchen table, hid her face in the crook of her arm, and cried.

Why things got weird

Rayonnant & Baroque

Shrike & Lark

Thrush & Cassowary

Loon & Astrapia

Starling & Hoatzin

Eostrix & Petrel & Grackle

Somehow, through means yet unknown to all, two variants of Dreamtale traded guardians. This caused a sort of ripple effect that changed the course of many, many universes and lives. Of course, having no way to know of other MVs aside from the JMV and DINTIS two, no one noticed.

Hopefully nothing even weirder happens that becomes a huge problem, hahaha.

Picrew Cousins

Didn't really feel like drawing the cousins so I made some picrews of them instead, three for each of them.

In order we have:

Nutmeg (WishfulShipping): Cilan x Iris

Chai (CandyCornShippinh): Chili x Burgundy

Coriander (Cory) (BusterBarShipping): Cress x Georgia

It's so odd to see cory with his hood down, he almost never takes it off, but the picrews never let me give him a hood.
