This damn comic is fucking A N C I E N T but as far as like, the content of it- not necessarily the art because I always hate my older art, but the presentation, what is objectively here- still feels right to me, so I'm sharing it. again

#I do not have it in me to even begin explaining the layers of this horseshit lmao #one of these days I can try to actually like. talk about this thing #this beast of teeth and turmoil and shimmer and shadow #something so wonderfully beautiful and sickly foul #genuinely irritates me that i struggle to talk about them at all because I have drawn them. So. Much.#More than any other fusion. even the ones canon to the show lol #yes that includes garnet #Like in-universe sure i can explain. Karma is a manifestation of the one thread druid and sven share- control #Druid has had none. His corruption- the withering- took away most of his agency. and Sven needs control like he needs air #and both of them whether they admit it to themselves or not are more afraid of themselves than of any external force #Sven fears his emotions. fears feeling them. Druid fears his illness and what it does to his body and mind #And so Karma is fragmented into the parts that they want the world to see and the parts they're afraid of #Keeper is that fear. that need to contain. to control. to suppress. to hide. to mask.#Unbound is all inhibitions removed. it's the release. the freedom. the desire. the exposed. the raw.#Unbound is everything that Sven and Druid would never tell anyone. Desires buried so far down that they themselves don't recognize it #But that's all in-universe. That's not quite the scope of what they mean in a grander meta sense #that is too intrinsically tied to me in a way that I can't explain #because if I could explain... then I wouldn't need them #fucking. what the fuck do I tag this i cant keep shoving Karma under the SU tag lmao #nugget rambles #my art #au/niverse
