I wish I had a nice monster-related quote or something to put here, but instead I’ll just recommend “for the departed”, “villainous thing” and “godspeed” all by shayfer james, ‘cause they’re a vibe for this AND great songs
this piece is also one for cringetober 2023! (some info here!)
the prompt: day 31 - halloween! honestly though, this was just an excuse to finally do at least something for the idea that’s been living in my head for a looooooong time…
#my art#the last kingdom#tlk#tlk uhtred#tlk alfred#cringetober 2023#there’s another character for this au I wanna draw soooooo badly#‘cause The Vision (tm) would not be complete without them#time i just need some time to get to that#but look at these dramatic hoes#‘hey op what’s up with their outfits?? what time period is it???’ who cares#probably our time and they are just stupid#and by they I mean alfred ‘cause uhtred has a sensible t shirt and jacket on#no but literally this stupidity would be like the plot of hotel transylvania except no one at all is having a good time building a home for#all the wretched souls of creatures of the night; alfred’s too busy trying to sneak into churches without bursting into flames; he is#centuries into bemoaning the fact that god hates him now and what is even THE POINT in circumstances like that; meanwhile uhtred is just#gathering more and more critters around himself just because he’s uhtred and he has NOWHERE TO FUCKING PUT THEM??? he’s collecting the found#family and has like a dozen kids around his neck AND WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF THEY ALL HAD A HOME HMMM??!!!?? maybe JUST MAYBE there’s a#depressed immortal somewhere who’s rich as hell and smart enough to build a safe place for those in need of it???!!? WITH HELP OBVIOUSLY#and I hope everyone appreciates the decision - no matter how ‘DUH of course’ it is - to make uhtred (saxon raised by danes yada-yada-yada) a#human turned werewolf (and raised by them to an extent; in my au anyway)#and alfred’s a vampire because of course he is and also I think someone should cast david dawson as one IMMEDIATELY#that’s such a missed opportunity he would be fantastic i think#anyway; i would happily babble about this with anyone who’d have me but tags are infinite so I’m stopping for now#*are not infinite#and just in case cause there is a detail in the work itself#cw: self harm#tw: self harm
