EVERYBODY shut the hell up. Look at my boy

[hemlockgraves]

Crk oc?

*rubbing hands together* Oh boy oh boy.

Yeah I got one. This is an old reference of my boy Cough Syrup cookie. He's a a lower city cookie from the Creme Republic. Used to be a newspaper boy basically but recently got a job as a news anchor in the upper city.

He's pretty nice but he's kind of like.. well he likes to crack Deez nuts and ligma jokes. It was something I thought was funny when I first made him. Insufferable at times sure but he can be serious.

If I thought about what he would be in terms of abilities he's definitely more of a healer (name makes more sense because of that too). He's not really a combat oriented character but if he was there's that.

Here's more recent art I made of him for this post:

I made him just as republic arc was happening so he's quite old and honestly I've been tempted to change up his design. Bottle cap hat is non negotiable however. I just love that part of his design.

Also! He has a cat named sugar (gets called sugma sometimes). Definitely well loved and a bit pudgy but he loves her.

Sad little starmage. He experiences The Horrors on the daily but it is a small price to pay for tremendous cosmic explosion powers!

from @deiscension. "Ming-xiong, hold your cup out." Despite the urgency of her demand, Shi Qingxuan doesn't refill Ming Yi's cup right away. Instead, she remains halfway leaning over the table, hand hovering by the jar of wine sitting between them, eyes glued to the inky expanse of sky just beyond the eaves of her palace's private garden. Several seconds pass in which she hardly dares draw a breath. Then, far off in the distance, a sliver of light cuts through the dark before bursting into brilliant colors. With a delighted laugh, she finally plucks up the wine jar and fills his waiting cup. "There! I've poured your first cup of wine for the year. Now," she sets the jar down and nudges it his way. "You pour mine."

there comes a point where it is ridiculous to celebrate the new year as an immortal, he xuan thinks. the years blur together as more and more pass, rendering them eventually meaningless, and knowing that nearly nothing can kill you doesn't provide much incentive to celebrate survival. well, as much as a dead thing can survive, in his case.

but what was he supposed to do when shi qingxuan took him by the arm to drag him away into the privacy of her palace ( it's just as garish and ostentatious as all the rest in the heavens, but admittedly, since his role as the earth master required he learn all there is to know about construction and the like, he can appreciate the fine craftsmanship and hard work that went into it ) — was he supposed to say more than a dark but venomless " this is a waste of time, " as he let himself be walked through her grand palace doors ? was he supposed to shove her away, reveal himself to her then and there, and tear out her throat with his teeth ? to enact his revenge in one impulsive, bloody moment, without even the cause of his demise present ?

( it is telling — of what, he's unsure. something that could drive him insane — that he xuan is the one she wishes to spend this sunrise with. it is not the first year she has chosen him. )

her laughter rings through the early morning light, disgustingly beautiful enough it could have painted the warm oranges and pinks onto the horizon itself. and what an honor, anyone else would think, to receive a cup poured by the young lord who pours wine herself, or to pour one for her.

he sighs slowly, letting his exasperation be known, but he regardless reaches to take the jar in a hand that is not his, that belongs to the poor fool rotted away in his manor, that he has used for so long it doesn't look strange anymore. the sound of wine hitting its cup is gentle, as is this dawn, as is the smile on her face. he is not a creature that remembers how to be gentle, so when he places the jar back onto the table, he turns away afterwards, towards the rising sun, seeming for all the world like simply the brooding grump the heavens know ming yi to be. but when faced with having to look at one beautiful thing versus another, he xuan finds he would rather spend the first few minutes of his new year staring at the one that doesn't make him feel something old and forgotten and completely undeserved.

she'll begin chattering away again soon enough, anyway, and this moment will fade into the deep, dark recesses of their immortal memories with every other new year's.

[theunconcernedembalmer]

WAIT MAN IN GREY IS GONE??? NOOOOOOO

Then besides you. Who else in the Aesop community/family is still alive? I havent been on tumblr much so it was a shock not being able to find Man in Gray anymore 😭😭😭😭

Ah... I'm actually kind of surprised that u think that my blog is still alive (well, barely, but i try) (work is seriously draining nowadays among other life tm stuff)

Tbh I feel like I've fallen out of the ask blog community for a while now. I always say that there's definitely some out there that are vibing, I'm just not aware of them since most of the blogs that i tend to interact with n know arent exactly very present in the scene anymore, but just cos I'm not aware of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Probably.
