enjoy.

Like all of the valuable things in this cold, cruel world, love is not easy to achieve. There is some sort of sacred balance in which not everything can be adored. Some things exist just for the sake of filling the empty space. They might only observe the mystery of a true love. Other ones are meant to take your breath away, give meaning to everything they touch or simply lay eyes on.

That's what you've been told.

„Don't expect too much”

„Don't expect what you cannot afford”

„Don't expect what you're not worthy of”

Growing up in a orphanage was not as alienating as people like assume. Of course, when you get asked about it you can't do anything but just put a frail smile on. Nobody favors this. You wouldn't have chosen it, either. While not being the most considerate people you have met, the nuns who supervised your ''home'' were at least fair. If you earned something, you were more than positive you would get it.

„So...when are my absolute favorite dovies are going to get married? I miss weddings so much since my sister's-” Said a fellow bartender from your local bar. At this instance you weren't listening anymore. Marriage? Dear Lord. It's not like you've been with Adrian for this long...or were you?

Time with him appeared so unlike anything else. When you two first met, you were convinced he was your new meaning. Asking him to take you with him after your village was massacred by vampires felt like a new starting point. You would lie, If you said you weren't thrilled that he actually agreed. After all, was there anything peculiar about you? Just a poor young lady with no close relatives and a foolish dream of witnessing the world. But he saved you anyway, liberating you from your grim reality.

You had to gain knowledge quick, be wiser with each day. The absolute last thing you wanted to be seen as was a burden. You remembered that you could earn anyone's respect with hard work. For Alucard it was quite an unfamiliar sight. He had been wandering around the world for decades, but he never saw anyone so dedicated as you until you met. He was already lonely, so it felt like you were meant to be.

Not soon after, you started to see him as something quite distinct from your mentor. His sharp features, yet delicate smile, reminded you of princes from romance books you weren't authorized to read but did it anyway. Every time you touched, mostly accidentally, you felt something soothing inside you. But you couldn't confess. No, you haven't earned yourself a right to love just yet.

So you worked. Every single day, you were giving your whole self for those depressed people from the village you and Alucard settled in. You had a lot of compassion for those in need, especially children. But it was not your main motivator. Seeing a dazzling smile on his adorable face was enough to make you carry mountains. He seemed to had found a solace in his life. It was all you wished for him after learning about his heartbreaking past. Somewhere in searching for his fulfillment, you forgot about your countless lonely nights in the orphanage. Why would you even think about that place? This was not your home anymore. He was your shelter.

In moments like this, when you were caressing Adrian's silky hair while he was laying on your lap, your mind was wandering into one place. How could he seriously care for you? It's cruel to assume he suggested you becoming his life partner while not loving you, but...that is how you felt. To you, there was no reason to stare at you and think of anything else than nothing. That is what you were. Useful, nothing.

„What is bothering you, my dear?” Those golden eyes had been already piercing you through when you looked at your partner's face. Little did you know, he was more than aware of what you thought about yourself. He could hear your quiet sniffles on sleepless nights. He listened to every remark you made to yourself when you thought he was not around.

„It's just...” And for a brief moment you considered telling him everything you were hiding for this whole time. You could have cried about the way you felt like a prisoner of your own expectations. But you couldn't possibly disturb this dreamlike world you've built with him. You didn't want to disrupt his happiness. „I am a bit worn out” that is all you said.

He rose, sitting right beside you. After a minute that felt like an eternity, you felt a cool, yet firm hold on your hand „Don't you know you mean everything to me?” and his words felt like a dagger right through your guts. This could not be possible.

You felt tears slowly gathering in the corners of your eyes. „Please...don't” His face tilted a bit, to have a better view over yours. It was shattering his soul. How could somebody who was so warmhearted, so clever, so gorgeous ever feel this way?

You felt an embrace forming around you. But you felt drained. There wasn't anything particularly left after you transferred everything to him. It was a fate you have chosen for yourself and wouldn't trade for no possessions in this world. His happiness made you meaningful.

Before pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead, he said something that made you no longer able to hold back tears.

„Don't cry, you're perfect”.

Merry Christmas! Here’s a quick sketch of Gideon my pookie bear. My beautiful buff prince. Gave her the pit fighter Vi treatment a little.

[stebfishie]

some steb pattern observations.

1- They are inverted. I wouldn't say completely identical on both sides, but close enough to be considered identical nonetheless.

I see they are similar to water ripples, or stripes of some kind; I've been getting more zebra and tiger vibes from how the lines are done.

^ they also appear to be focused on the middle center of his body. Down the middle of his neck, head, and I imagine down his back as well. A single line in the center , but disconnecting into smaller lines and stripes on the left and right side.

I've also noticed ALOT of similarities to Na'vi patterns, the inspirations for the patterns could be the same thing.

I forgot what else I was going to say on here so I guess this is it. I know it was going to be a lot and everyone would've loved it and it would have been awesome, so just imagine I said paragraphs of things like that .

To Ashes And Blood - Endeavor vs. Villain Rei

...

This is probably the most intense thing I've drawn in a long time and I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Also, 'To Ashes and Blood' by Woodkid (Arcane OST) works so well for this family.

I really like playing with the idea of Villain Rei. In this particular AU, she is the villain who went after Deku instead of Nagant. Reasons here.

Pencil sketch.

Partial linework. The rain and Endeavor's fire do not have solid lines.

Initial coloring. I wanted to replicate Arcane's art style, but I make the mistake of doing solid line work, so it turned out more as a blend between Arcane and MHA.

Pre-filtered layers.

no it was not safe

[strawberryshortcake1495]

AU where Mabel uses the memory gun on herself after the events of Sock Opera and it knocks her out and takes her to this alternative dream world called Noxus. She spends one day there as her Noxusona, “Neisha”, while being asleep for 1 hour and once it hits midnight she wakes up and she never goes back to Noxus ever again…right?

Noxus is basically just an Arcane-like realm where Fiddleford is the king. That’s all.
