Thing I want to draw when i have the time and hand mobility:
a short comic of Adonis and Ione at the grocery store. Ione is carrying the basket which seems to mostly have meat candy and booze in it.
Adonis picks something up off the shelf.
I: Oh wait. Check to make sure it's not sugar free, i can't have a lot of types of artificial sweeteners.
A: How do I check?
I: It's usually written on the box? Look for something that says 'sugar free' or 'artificially sweetened.'
Adonis holds the box up and examines it closely before looking back up at her.
A: I can't read.
I: Ah.
#Hes an acomplished sculptor and widely beloved performer/strong man. He does a lot of security work#And hes still 6 years old and has had very little opportunity to learn how to read#Like this would still be in the time period everyone is calling him 'Stones' because they have no way of finding out his name#he cant talk or spell or read#Adonis isnt exactly a common name thats going to show up on lists#so even though its an A name just reading off a baby naming book until they find it isn't going to work#They're lucky one of the acrobats knew sign because her sisters deaf and could start teaching him the very basics needed#for him to communicate more than 'yes' and 'no'#and that Ione is a quick learner and got touch signing down so that the two of them could chat too#People are a Lot less weird about her when shes got someone with her and the sorta Assumptions people tend to make#when its her and Adonis together specifically#Like it goes from 'Oh shit the giant snake woman who can turn living flesh to stone with just a look is coming this way'#to 'oh hey shes got a stone statue guy with her and they're obviously close and hes opening the door for her and#warning her of the obstacles she cant see because of her blindfold. Thats actually kinda cute'#tbh the joke is the absurdity of a medusa and a stone statue having this conversation in a piggly wiggly or somethin.
