#artem wing somehow is the perfect man for me

[katriniac]

Ooooooof. This was difficult to stop at just one favorite, or even four. So I did almost all of my faves!

😅😅😅😅😅

Starting with my tutorial boys/guidance counselors:

Sasuke - Ikemen Sengoku

He's my #1, and therefore, he will have the best thing ever: a hoodie! With funny nerdy slogan. I will promptly steal his hoodie. This is a move he will no doubt have anticipated, so he'll pull out an EXACT duplicate and pronounce we have reached #CoupleGoals because we now own matching shirts. I love my ninjenius. 💚

Blanc - Ikemen Revolution

A light gray/blue softer-than-clouds waffle weave long duster that wouldn't normally look attractive on men but somehow Blanc manages to pull it off just fine. He will delight in trapping and wrapping me within the voluminous thing, claiming he lost his glasses and needs to keep me this close to see my cute face. ASDFGGHJKLMMMMM

Sebastian - Ikemen Vampire

To keep from overheating while he works hard, he wears a thin cardigan. The narrow sleeves hug his biceps. A crisp white button-down shirt is his hallmark under the soft layer. He soon discovers that I prefer a simple tank top under the cardigan when it is Snuggling Time™️

Nobunaga - Ikemen Sengoku

You might *think* this red hooded sweater is overly simplistic for such a powerful man. But you'd be wrong. It's woven from sustainable bamboo, manufactured by a group of war widows, a small start-up he invested in and helped to promote. That pattern you see? They named it after him because he was integral to their success. The bamboo is soooo soft, that when he holds me close I just mush right into his broad chest. The best part? On those rare moments when I actually make him blush, I can pull the hood up to hide those red cheeks so no one can enjoy the sight except me! Hee hee! 😉

Shingen - Ikemen Sengoku

*sputters incoherently* Um, yeah... Fluffy sweater. Hard muscles. Um ... *giggly gibberish* Yeahhhh ... that's all I got. Why am I wasting time writing this when there's a half nekkid Shin waiting with two mugs of hot cocoa? GOODBYEEEE!

Kanetsugu - Ikemen Sengoku

Glacial grey wool fitted coat over a monochrome sweater vest. Necktie and dress shirt are perfectly adjusted. He looks completely put together. Contained. In control. Just under the thin ice is a simmering hot springs. When I give him that *special* glance, he's quick to throw off the tidy layers and tug his tie loose with a primal snarl.

Comte - Ikemen Vampire

This cashmere sweater with leather elbow patches screams "old money". It's my favorite thing for him to wear when we cuddle by the fireplace. I love how it always smells like him, even after being washed. So soft, so warm. I'll admit it: I've worn it without anything else on and crawled into his side of the bed just to be wrapped in his scent. *melts into a puddle*

Artem - Tears of Themis

A shawl collar fits this old-fashioned guy. The cobalt blue brings out his beautiful eyes. The chunky texture keeps it from looking too stuffy and uptight. And he always wants to wear it because I bought it for him. The smile he gets when he repeats that reason? Oh goodness gracious, that smile could get me to agree to anything. You want 14 children, Mr Wing? Okay. Whatever you want, hunny.

Dean - Ikemen Revolution

So neat. So tidy. So perfect for torturing me when he pushes up the sleeves and rolls back the cuffs of the dress shirt. He KNOWS that is my weakness. And then he stalks back and forth in front of the blackboard, smacking his "professor's pointer" (*cough*RIDING CROP*cough*) against the palm of his hand as he waits for me to answer his pop quiz. Oops, guess I'm gonna fail because I was too distracted ... looks like I'll need to stay behind after class and do some 'extra credit' 😏 No one in the college would ever assume a devilish deviant would wear such a clean cut cardigan! 🙄

Sariel - Ikemen Prince

Even when I begged him to update his wardrobe and add some casual pieces, he still couldn't break away from his favorite color: black. As I roll my eyes and guffaw at his goth-boy-at-heart sweater, he levels those hypnotizing amethyst eyes at me and smirks, but stays quiet as if he's enjoying a joke only he knows. "What? WHAT." I demand, half annoyed, half playful. He waits a beat before opening his mouth, as if contemplating sharing the joke. Finally his smirk grows wider as he leans in to whisper, his hot breath raising goosebumps on my neck, "Admit it. You think the buckles are sexy." Dammit. He's right. He's always right.

Keith - Ikemen Prince

Chunky cable knit wool cardigan. Thermal Henley shirt pulled taut against his massive barrel chest. Carhartt pants and steel-toed Redwing boots. The hard-working outfit of the most helpful, most modest prince on the continent. "And the most handsome one, too," I am quick to remind him. His surprised eyes and shy blush are too cute to leave alone. I push the attack with little kisses to his nose and forehead and cheeks while I tickle his rib cage mercilessly. Keith is too sweet to go on the offensive, yet enjoying it too much to retreat. But I wonder how alter!Keith will retaliate in the morning? 😏 Heh heh, I can't wait!

Jin - Ikemen Prince

Oh. Yeah, he knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he picked out that sweater. Wait -- did he dry it so it would shrink ON PURPOSE and mould around his sculpted muscles? Seriously? Seriously. Jin. STAHP. *bursts into a fit of laughter* You're already the hottest thing on two legs, darlin. Why are you like this? You know, the tighter that sweater is, the harder it will be for me to peel off of you. Just sayin' 🥴

Trey Clover - Twisted Wonderland

No surprises here. Level-headed choice. Easy maintenance. No frills. Well made and quality materials. It's perfect. Just like you. Understated and reliable. Such a wise and practical choice. I whisper in his ear, "But you know, dear, you can go wild every once in a while and choose something that isn't machine-washable -- or something you'll only wear once. Gasp!" He gives me an almost imperceptible roll of the eyes before flashing that cocky grin I love, and whispering back, "The only time I go wild is with you. In private. I prefer to keep it that way, baby girl."

Jack Howl - Twisted Wonderland

Hiking in the Shaftlands was supposed to be the perfect autumn vacation. Fresh air, leaves turning color, and miles of wilderness for just the two of us. So why can't I keep my thoughts out of the gutter every time Jack rolls up his sleeves and I see his powerful forearms, or when I can't take my eyes off his massive thighs, or when he growls a little in his throat -- wait, why is he growling?? He has stopped walking, and I bump into him, his thick fluffy tail rubbing against my stomach. "Katie. We're almost to the cabin. The scent of your arousal has been hitting me constantly for the last mile. Don't worry, I'll be sure to take good care of you once we're there." Oh! Such a good boy! I could practically jump for joy if I wasn't already so tired and horny. Instead, I wrap my arm around his for support and nuzzle into his plaid shirt to hide my grin.

Malleus - Twisted Wonderland

Aw, did the lonely edgy emo boi buy another sweater from Hot Topic (or whatever the equivalent is in Briar Valley)? He poses with dramatic lighting for the latest magazine cover shoot. But all he can think about is how I'm waiting for him in the graveyard at midnight. Meanwhile, I'm shivering and wondering why I had to fall in love with an immortal dragon prince who loves wandering through desolate ruins? Why couldn't his favorite place be the beach? But when he suddenly appears though a green mist of magic, and he wraps me in his arms and many layers of cozy black sweater, pledging never to keep me waiting for him ever again, whispering apologies, vowing eternal love, and sinking his fangs into me, well ... I suppose I could forgive him this time.

Azul Ashengrotto - Twisted Wonderland

He wasn't satisfied with the silvery lavender sweater I gave him. "Layers. I must have lots of layers. That's what all the fashion blogs are saying will project an air of success and power. I need more layers." As we left the store -- him bundled up in layers of silk, cashmere, and Marino wool, and me guiding him down the stairs since he couldn't see over his scarf -- I muttered something about needing an extra closet just for this outfit. His sneaky reply? "Don't worry about putting it away. You just concentrate on having fun stripping it off me. And since you were such a good girl and so patient while I shopped, I'll reward you with a little bit of tentacle time. You'll like that, won't you, hm?"

Albert - Midnight Cinderella

His Majesty insisted. What was Al to do except comply? With the royal charge card in hand, we went to the Stein mall. He balked at the price of a leather jacket, but the staff's salespitch about the longevity convinced him. Then it was off to fetch a stack of identical button-down shirts and khakis. Last was a serviceable walnut-colored pullover. He held his hand out for me to pass it to him, but I clutched it to my chest. "No, I'm not letting this get paid by some royal stipend. I'm buying this for you myself. So that every time you wear it and I cuddle next to you, I'll remember that I made that cozy moment possible because it was my present to you. I want to see you wearing something I gave you." Al's face flushes pink as he pushes up his glasses to stall for words. It's not until we're riding back to the castle that he finally has decided on the perfect reply, "The smile I wear is always something you gave me. Tonight I'd like to see you wearing the smile I gave you. Just that. Only that smile and nothing else. I need to repay you for the sweater and the attack of cuteness in the store." ASDFFGHJKKHGFDGHHG

Sid - Midnight Cinderella

How? HOW. How does he make a zip-up hooded sweatshirt look THAT sexy? It's criminal. He knows he's several illegal levels of handsome as he pulls open the dressing room curtain. "Whatcha think? Not bad, right?" The cocky smirk and dancing light in his eyes are too irresistible, and I fail to formulate a snarky comeback. Instead, I grin and silently pile several other outfits into his arms. "Well? Don't just stand there, stud. Time to model all these other sexy clothes for your girl. Especially those jeans that hug your ass nicely. Ooh! Can't wait!"

Robert - Midnight Cinderella

"It's a little *too* avante garde, isn't it?" His reluctant question was punctuated by his fingers fidgeting at the asymmetrical hem. I swooped in between him and the full-length mirror, taking hold of his wrists and guiding them around my waist. My hands splayed out over his chest, luxuriating against the supple weave of the angora wool. "Mmmm...no. It's perfect for your presentation. Besides, it was a custom-made gift from your benefactor. It would be rude to refuse it. Especially when your girlfriend thinks you look so handsome in it." I looked coyly up at him, hoping my reassurance wasn't too over-the-top, even if it was all true. I rubbed my cheek against the candyfloss-softness, humming in cozy contentment. He chuckled at the image it made in the mirror, "Okay, okay, stop petting me, you're being too cute. If you keep it up, I won't be held responsible for the damage this sweater may take." His tone rolled down to dangerously sexy levels. I knew I had won him over for the sweater, AND maybe even scored myself some 'private' studio time with my favorite artist, heh heh 😏

Daily qs have been loaded back up into my server and we have some fall related ones slowly coming out, and I wanted to post a few as they pop up and hear y'alls responses...because its cute.

Question of The Day:

The weather is getting colder out and the leaves are changing- this calls for warmer clothes! Are their any outfits you'd like to put your fave in, or maybe perhaps cute matching outfits you'd like to wear with them for the season?

i can't believe i took a book recommendation from a 2D man,,, and that i lIKED IT!!! OMG IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD SCI FI REC FOR AGES AND ITS SO GOOD (if mildly confusing in the beginning, might buy a physical copy just to take notes and highlight) but yes!!! sir artem wing!! more book recs!!!actually give me book recs from everyone!!

[actualbird]

artems that guy whos like "youre sick!! rest! Do Not Come Back until you recover" and then when hes ill he calls in sick to work and then does all his paperwork in bed at home while he sniffles miserably until he passes out. nobody would even know if celestine didnt notice that he definitely fell asleep in the middle of signing smth LOL. celestine: did you get your sick germs on these important papers? artem: dont be ridiculous. i quarantined them for 24 hrs, theyre perfectly safe. mess of a man im obsessed with him

genuinely GENUINELY.

artem is such a smart and rational person but also i think that rationality takes a backseat sometimes when it comes to taking care of himself. my logic to this is not just because i think it's funny (tho that is a huge factor lmao) but also because like...

i have this general interpretation that artem brings his (ridiculous, meticulous, sometimes unattainable) stubborn perfectionism (which is partly his fault but also partly because of so many people holding him to a certain standard or putting him up on a pedestal) into so many aspects of his life. sickness is somehow an imperfection and the thing with perfectionists is that they try to fix imperfections in stupid ways sometimes, focusing on short term efficiency and productivity, because thats obviouuusly the most important thing here.

(wrong. artem, what the hell.)

artem strikes me as the kind of person who takes all the precautionary measures to keep his body as healthy as it possible can be. good diet, exercise, enough sleep, complete vaccination list, just the whole shebang. but the body is complicated and no matter what you do, you will end up getting sick somehow.

artem: this doesnt make sense. i did everything correctly.

body: doesnt matter, shit happens, go rest

artem: fine. but i refuse to rest. that would be irresponsible (only for me, it's never irresponsible for others, because artem wing has a double standard bug in his noggin that bites him at key moments) and i still technically have the capability to be useful so //does more work

body: am i a joke to you???

additionally, theres a vulnerability to being sick. i think artem would eventually take care of himself when he realizes that it is the only way he can move forward and be Truly Useful Again, but he would be the type to be resistant to other people helping him. it's his problem, why should he rope more people into it? (because those people, CARE, ARTEM WING! THEY CARE!!!! THEY WANT TO HELP!!!)

deep down though, i figure, it's because of like the fear of not being seen with the lens of perfection. artem doesn't want people to see him like this. he doesnt like seeing himself like this, so why would other people want to see it as well? (AGAIN. BECAUSE THEY CAREEEE!!!!!)

artem wing is a hot mess of "i need to earn everything in my life and the only way to do that is be the paragon of every quality i think is the correct payment for that thing." fascinating stuff but good god, somebody wrap that disaster man in a blanket burrito and do NOT let him out until his fever is gone.

also DGJDSKJ!! HE QUARANTINED THE PAPERS BUT BARELY RESTED HIMSELF. UR RIGHT. A MESS OF A MAN!!!
