#Wine and wheat

[badpoetryboi]

[little-frog-writes]

The song “Wine and Wheat” by Madds Buckley has been in my head for so long and I feel like it fits well with Mirabelle from “In Stars and Time”. She has her own Change god / Change belief struggle with her sexuality, so I combined the two! Maybe this could fit into a looping Mirabelle story at one point who knows! For the drawing itself, I paralleled it to @orbitalmoonrat ‘s format for Madds Buckley’s song!

As for the colors on Mirabelle, I think her primary color would be red-ish, pink-ish. Her bow needed to be white to match her gloves so I’m gonna change that and her shawl would be more maroon but I don’t have the right color. I do like that in the background I put the aromatic and asexual colors 💚💜

My interpretation of the lines “God have mercy on them/God have mercy on me” from Wine and Wheat; My Love is Sick Album by Madds Buckley.

Didn’t fully finish coloring (really just skin color and dogs eyes) cause I’m really tired

[Image ID; Top panel starts with a group of people on the left, celebrating pride month, with two signs, one of them has hearts and the other says pride with a rainbow on it. Next to that, in the middle, is an older lady with gray hair up in a bun, saying “God have mercy on them…”. And on the farthest right side, beside the lady is younger Dog. On the bottom panel, it is a close up of dog. They are sad, looking off to the side, thinking “God have mercy on me.” End ID]

(Ghost)Soap AU Concept - His Hair

Cw: angst, minor character death mention, miscommunication. Inspired by Wine and Wheat by Noel_o on Ao3

Soap looks down at his trembling hand holding the electric razor, the buzz not drowning out the words echoing in his mind.

"You're not even a little embarrassed?" "No one will take you seriously looking like that." "It looks ridiculous!" "Did you really think-"

He lifts it to his head.

...

The night started with Soap in high spirits. He was proud of the latest mission - his new self-made bombs saved the day and maybe he was feeling a little cocky.

Which is usually nothing new or problematic when surrounded by his closest friends - Ghost, Gaz, Price, Rudy and Ale.

🧼: tellin ye, Cap', I deserve some chest candy for my ingenuity! Might just have rewritten the military demolitions handbook today.

Price just rolls his eyes.

That's when it started.

🧢: No offense, mate. But you show up at HQ with that hair, no one will take you seriously.

Ale choked on his beer, Rudy tried to hide a smile. "Dios mio, so it's not just us who thinks it looks ridiculous?" Ale looked to Price. "How is that allowed?"

💰: We're not sticklers for regulation in the 141 - but maybe we'll have to make an exception this time.

They all laughed and agreed.

Soap didn't. He felt his throat close and had to remind himself that they're just teasing, they don't mean it.

Rudy, sweet, kind Rudy gave his 5 cents next. "You're brilliant with bombs, friend, but really - you look in the mirror and decide that's your style? Not even a little embarrassed?"

Soap swallowed thick.

This isn't new. He's been mercilessly teased about his mowhak for that last 15 years. Till he joined the 141. He'd thought he was finally past shallow insults.

His ma had told him she loves it, three weeks before she lost her long battle, her own hair having fallen out months before. So he kept it.

He tried to deflect, be the usual fun, bubbly Soap they used to respond well to.

🧼: ah c'mon, ye are all just jealous ye can't touch my destructive talents!

Then the killing blow struck.

Ghost, the only man he's ever truly wanted, whose opinion mattered more than anything else.

Ghost chuckled, shoulders shaking with it as he shook his head. Surely he wouldn't-

💀: They're not wrong. You look like a 80s punk band reject, Soap.

'Soap'. Not Johnny. Ghost cares about Johnny, not Soap. He hopes...

💀: C'mon Johnny, you didn't really think it's a style that demands respect.

The agreeing laughter around the table didn't feel friendly, it felt cruel.

Was he really a laughing stock to them? Did they talk like this behind his back too? Was he just a joke they kept around cause he was good at blowing shit up.

They never even cared to ask why he had it.

He gave a rough brittle laugh, kept his head down, and made a half-assed excuse of needing to piss. Keeping his face turned away he rushed to the bathroom, he knows he's not strong enough to face the teasing if they see the tears in his eyes.

He climbs out the window and leaves.

No one texts or calls to check in him on the way back, walking instead of taking a taxi, hoping to clear his head. It didn't help. His ma always called him her gentle boy, said his heart was good and to protect it.

She was right about that. But turns out, wrong about his hair.

He can't fix what he's like on the inside. It stays broken no matter how he tried.

But he can fix what he's like on the outside. Make him look fixed, at least.

He picks up the electric razor he kept for the sides of his head. Ghost usually shaved it for him. He always teased that he was gonna shave it all...

A lock of hair falls.

In case no one has told you,

your transness is fucking beautiful.

You are as divine as a flower blooming from simple leaves into petals that bring the wonderful scent of spring.

You are as incredible as a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, bright coloured wings that shine in the sun. Fully you. Or perhaps into a moth, with fluffy features that look so soft to the touch. Great big patterns that look like eyes staring into the night sky.

You are as loved as a toy that has been worn down over years and years of play and laughter, and bumps and bruises, and tears of both happiness and hurt. You have been stitched and patched and restuffed. But you are still you. You look a little different, but what is life sitting on a shelf, never knowing what you could be? What you're made to be?

You are not changed. You are transformed. You have been you and will always be you, and the world has always known the beauty of trans people.

For what is being alive if not to live?

You were made to be loved. You were made to transform. Do not deny yourself the same growth you share with the earth, for you are a part of her.
