#and then i wanted to draw scenes from my fics

*emerges from shadows*

Hello everyone! Did you know that Everest really likes Skeptunist? They really like Skeptunist. They've been incessantly rotating it in their brain for... a while-

While I liked the ship for quite a while, the culprit and catalyst for this entire post is @writingdevil's Skeptunist fic! Yet again, Devil's writing just hits me in the head, and I can't stop it now ¯(◡‿◡✿) /¯

And so I, uh, ended up making quite a few drawings and sketches of different scenes from that fic, using my Skeptic and Opportunist's voice designs! All the drawings you see here all use dialogue from it, so please go check it out!!! It's a very well-written fic, and it just fits so well with how I imagine both Skeptic and Oppy, and it's such a wonderful idea- AAAAAH, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Ahem. Anyways, go read it first, if you are even a little bit interested in the ship! The drawings will make a lot more sense if you do :]

I'm serious! This is your final chance to go read the fic first! The rest of more spoiler-y drawings will be under the cut!

If it's a little unclear what's happening in these drawings, I put explanations in the alt text!

Oh, and this is certainly not the last of Skeptunist you will see from me. There's a whole other fic (two fics, technically!) that I've been relentlessly thinking about, and I already have like 17 (/exaggerating) different sketches for it. Coming soon-ish (tm)

Rough unfinished sketches first! I wanted to get those done too, but kind of lost focus, so these will stay as-is (at least for now).

Half-Skeptunist, half-"Everest practices drawing Opportunist's facial expressions"! It was very fun to draw, I really like how the second drawing turned out :]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH- (this is how Everest felt at that moment in the fic. I can't with them, help- /lh)

Hello! In progress of me finding an art style I like, I made fanart of a scene in "Between You, Me and the Fence Post" fanfic (from Chapter 12) written by @taelonsamada !

It's the scene when Milo sits out in one of the pastures as he tries to get Chuck (a Clydesdale horse that he got from an auction) to trust him. And idk. I just really like that scene and my brain gave me a very vivid image to draw it :) (I know that it says that they put a softer halter on Chuck, but, I wanted to show off the scars a bit better on his face)

[Image Description: Fanart of a Shaw Pack Ranch AU fanfic called "Between You, Me and the Fence Post" by TaelonSamada on Ao3. It's lightly snowing in the picture. Milo is sitting on a stool in a snowy pasture, with a Clydesdale horse named Chuck. Milo has light tan skin, and short curly hair, along with some beard stubble above his lip and along his jaw. Milo wears a tan cowboy hat, a short, dark brown jacket, and muddy blue jeans. His jeans have lighter denim patches at the knees. Milo holds a green book in his hand as he pretends to ignore Chuck. Chuck is standing behind Milo and is letting Milo touch his nose. Chuck the Clydesdale horse is with a mahogany or chestnut color for most of it's fur. Chuck has a few scars located where horse halters usually sit and where a horse's breastplate would sit. He also has a scar further back near his left thigh. The background is of snowy mountains, hills, and pine trees. The sky is grey and cloudy, and the mountains and hills get fuzzier the farther back they are. The tone of the picture is very quiet and chill. /End ID]

Also have one of the country songs that I listened to while making this and think it fits kinda well with David and Darlin'/Tank's characters in the fic.

@stealingyourbones

Was reading a “Danny is Damian’s biological older brother” fic where he was with the Fentons due to mission reasons that Jack and Maddie are aware of

And seeing Danny treat Maddie with this “I’m your superior and you should remember that” attitude just woke something in me

There are a lot of Danyal Al Ghul fics where Danny winds up with the Fentons because of

a) He was a spare heir Ras didn’t want and killed or had killed leading to Talia having him moved to a humble little family in America

b) Danny ran away either for his own good or for Damian’s [i.e. Damian is the spare in this scenario]

or c) He was displaced via Lazarus Pit or failed mission

But there’s very few where Danny is with the Fentons for mission reasons [whether that is overseeing the Fentons’ progress or what have you], where he is a loyal member of the Al Ghul family

Now the fic I read? Danny is continuing to oversee this mission but is trying - and failing - not to get attached and implies he’s doing this for Damian’s sake [letting him live his life with their father while he keeps Ras’ focus on himself as the heir]

But of course like always, I got to thinking how things would be different in the DP world if he were loyal to the Al Ghul family

And how terrible he would be to someone like Vlad

‘Cause Vlad? That man would be small fry to someone like this Danny, a Danny who has lethal training, resources, protection and a superiority complex to outmatch Vlad’s - he’s not going to be threatened by Vlad’s experience with ghost powers

This Danny isn’t going to be blackmailed with their shared secret, because what does he care what the Fentons think? [If] The Fentons try shit there would severe consequences [Cut resources, cut throats, the works]

Vlad thinks he knows everything about Danny? He couldn’t be more wrong but Danny certainly knows everything about him once Vlad made himself a pesk

Because a pesk is all he’ll ever be

I’m just imagining a scene where Vlad is welcoming himself to the Fenton household as he does, trying to push his weight around and all that shit

He thinks he has all the cards

And Danny? Danyal Al Ghul? Well, they’re not in public right now so he has no reason to save face so he just pulls the rug from under Vlad’s feet

And now Vlad finds himself with a blade against his throat

“The only reason you are not a smear on the couch is because I see no reason to cut you down where you stand.

You think yourself such a superior dreadful opponent, when the truth is that you are nothing more than a small insect in my eyes. You hold no power over me, Masters, because you are nothing in the grand scheme of things - you don’t even hold title to most obnoxious rich man, that title belongs to Luther

but myself? Well, I already exchanged words with my grandfather of what could be done with you.”

The boy draws closer with a thoughtful hum, blade kept completely steady where it is against his skin

“You see, he finds you a…..curiosity he wishes to study once the time comes. The Fentons and yourself have certainly developed a myriad of weapons, so controlling you shouldn’t be an issue.”

Maddie walks into the room with a tea tray and for a moment Vlad hopes Daniel will retreat and put up what was apparently the mask he’s been wearing since they’ve met

She just pauses with a startled expression and looks at the two before quietly asking if she should come back later

Daniel just gives her a wane smile “Just for a moment, Dr. Fenton, I’m just clarifying some things for your guest”

And with that, Vlad watches as she quietly leaves the room and leaves him with this threat he suddenly found himself against

He looks down and finds Daniel watching him, smiling a benign, innocent smile and with eyes of a hawk, gleaming a toxic green. He can feel the blade against his throat turning gently, it’s sharp edge slowly digging into his skin and knows it’s been altered to use against ghosts

“You thought her presence would save you, didn’t you? Unfortunately for you, she and her husband are perfectly aware of who I am.

I only tell you this, Masters, because I tire of this ploy you think you have. This is me telling you your place - any advantage you think you have is nonexistent: Your experience, your power - what little of it you have, down to your money is irrelevant to me”

“I imagine your little friends will be very contrite with this revelation, Daniel” Vlad utters, looking for something to hold over this boy’s head and knows it’s futile

For a moment, Daniel pauses and Vlad feels the vicious glee that maybe he finally got the advantage and some semblance of control back

But then that smile turns sharp and mean, like the boy is perfectly aware of his attempt for control and finds it amusing.

“I assure you that they are perfectly aware as well. You see, despite their age and lack of experience - Sam already displays the traits Grandfather values and Tucker’s knowledge with hacking and technology - while limited, especially compared to others of greater experience - will be proven valuable assets given time and proper training.

And you? Well! Like I said, grandfather finds your duel nature a curiosity he has wished to study.”

Vlad wonders if Daniel’s equally duel nature could be held against him, if this grandfather could have his focus turned on a different much closer target

Something tells him Daniel’s place in his grandfather’s life isn’t as uncertain

So he thinks of any contingencies he has that might save him from this situation, what he has to do to keep himself in the public eye to ensure his absence will be noticed, what he has to look into to understand the threat he faces

“Of course, there is your position as town mayor, we can use that to our benefit - make you of use, I’m sure your sudden absence will be noticed after all…..

But you just had to annoy me.”

With a click of the tongue, Daniel finally pulls the blade away, wiping any blood away with a cloth before handing it over to a dark garbed woman Vlad hadn’t noticed before now

With a sharp inhale, he looks over his shoulder to find two others in the room with them, eyeing him like he were nothing more than a mouse. He feels further unease at the fact that he hadn’t heard or seen these people coming in, doesn’t know how long they’ve been laying in wait

For what, that is what he wished to know

With a shaken breath, he looks back to the boy with awe and fear, “Who are you?”

The boy looks back at him with sharp eyes, a derisive sneer curling at his nose, “I don’t see how that is any of your concern.

I’m feeling generous, so I’ll let you off with a little warning, Masters: Next time you fancy yourself superior to me, you’ll be gutted and strung up like a pig, left on the steps of town hall for all these town plebeians to see, with evidence of your extensive crimes up on display.”

With that, he picks up his bag from the floor and dismisses his silent companions, heading towards the front door with a quiet hum.

Vlad can barely keep himself from tensing up when the boy pauses, looking back at him with a perfectly innocent expression, any cold, lethal intent that was there beforehand completely gone

“Tell mom and dad I’ll be out with Sam and Tucker, will you? That won’t be a problem for you, will it, fruitloop? I’ll leave you to your nice and friendly visit with your friends.

Behave.”

I've been in a Sims 4 spiral for a few days (which happens every few years) and I spent like 12 hours designing Thor and Loki's dorm room from Set the Fractured Bone. The entire time I was doing it, though, this little voice in the back of my head was telling me how I'm wasting my time, this is stupid, people don't care about this, why am I not being productive, etc.

Then today I got a comment on the story from a reader, asking if I planned to finish the story. And it was like a fun little mood booster and a reminder that if I still have a story to tell (which I do), and aspects about it to share, then it's not a waste of time. And, I don't know, I just found it weirdly validating, so the moral of the story is, leave comments on stories even if they haven't been updated in years. (Nice comments, not entitled ones.) Chances are your comments make a difference to the author.
