Fic-to-Art #32: Sokka and Azula's first time
This month's prompt was 'intimacy', and my Patrons picked a pretty important scene for that purpose :') I, of course, went slightly out of control and, uh, well... with a prompt like that, it's hard to hold back a weirdo like me, sorry not sorry x'D
In short: the full version of this month's reward is in fact 8 pieces rather than this one. This is basically the only one I dare use here for obvious reasons :'D Unfortunately, my attempt to post this on a separate Tumblr post, under its "mature" guidelines, resulted in a flagged post regardless. The guidelines of this site about art of this nature are REALLY something else, huh? :')
Honestly... this prompt ended up meaning a lot to me because of how many times I tried and failed to portray this scene properly. Especially the bits I drew for it this time :'D It's no exaggeration to say that this was one of the very first scenes I plotted, and also one of the first I tried to make proper art of. Still, I wasn't good enough to pull it off before... and somehow, I managed to do it this time!
Hope you guys liked it! If you'd like to be part of the creative process behind these pieces, a $1 Patreon pledge is enough to make you eligible for joining the prompt suggestion process, as well as reading Gladiator snippets 6 days before each update!

[What if we just hadn't said goodbye?]
Some design notes below the cut
-both of their expressions are meant to represent the way they felt about the outcome of ep 24. shinji has his eyes on kaworu with an expression of hurt and betrayal meanwhile kaworu is at peace with his decision, eyes closed and unable to see how shinji may feel now
-i know the pilots are never seen wielding weapons themselves in the show and that evas haven't been shown using a sword at any point either however i kind of live for the fact that swords held blade down look like crosses. i couldn't help myself with that one it was too good an opportunity to pass
-hard to tell bc I couldn't put much effort into them but the flowers making up kaworu's bouquet are blue roses, often recognised as a symbol for secret or unattainable love
-whether the way kaworu holds a bouquet makes him look like a bride ready to walk down the aisle or a corpse laying in their casket. well. ill leave the choice up to you
-i also wanted the items they're holding to parallel one another. shinji holds a red sword dripping with blue blood meanwhile kaworu holds blue roses ever so slightly stained by fresh blood. shinji is the only one holding a weapon because he's the only one causing physical harm in the end, and kaworu doesn't have any because he's given up on fighting for his life

I think one of the biggest things that's helping me feel more certain in my transition is the realization that I am extremely good at enduring. I've learned to endure pretty much anything. I can be in a situation that I hate and just switch off and ride it out until it's over. When I was a kid it was because there was nothing I could ever do about it. I hate long loud boring gatherings but I'd have to stay until my parents took me home many hours later. I hate traveling but I'd have to endure it for weeks. It's taught me a great deal of patience, I do it all the time now. I endure long journeys, events I didn't want to attend, trips I didn't want to take, people I don't want to hang out with... It's an important skill to have. but the thing is, I was subconsciously planning on doing that with my gender dysphoria for the rest of my entire life. I WAS doing that for years, not even trying to explore what that horrible feeling was. I'm the endurer! I endure! I switch off and ride it out until it's... over.
Maybe this isn't one of those things I have to put up with. Maybe it's time to stop enduring my life and start enjoying it.

visceral reaction to the memory of when i first sucked a dick and my eds was fucked cause of a growth spurt so i had to unhinge my jaw like a snake to unlock it and it made the LOUDEST cracking-crunching sound. like the sound of ice breaking.
