older designs for my specialest guy

[dhmis-autism]

been thinking about them lately ok

[arsenicflame]

It's a time-honoured tradition- every time Sam comes across Izzy (and Ed) in their travels, he asks Izzy to marry him. And every time, Izzy turns him down.

At this point, Sam is asking more for the sake of it than any belief Izzy will ever say yes, a remnant of childhood dedication touched with 30 years of heartbreak and regret- though even now, a small part of him still holds out hope. Sam's promises have only got more extravagant over the years, from a job as his first mate, to a captaincy, a fleet at his command, a whole fucking island if that's what Izzy wants- but he knows it isn't though, not really. If Izzy was ever going to agree to marry him, to leave his life and go with Sam, it wouldn't be for anything Sam could offer him. Izzy never did care for flashy shows of wealth, for a ship or to be captain. The only thing that ever mattered to him was loyalty given, and loyalty shown in return. 

It all comes to a head after Stede left and came back, after Izzy lost a toe, lost his leg. Sam hasn't seen him since before things with Ed started to really slide off the rails, before stress permanently set into the lines of Izzy’s face. So, when he sees a dishevelled man with a hoof for a leg in a no-name port, he doesn't even consider the idea that he might know him. It's only when he turns towards him, and Sam catches a glance at those oh too familiar tattoos, he realises this is Izzy, his Izzy, that stands before him.

Knowing Izzy's discomfort with pity, he doesn't treat him any differently than he would in years gone by, positioning himself in Izzy's line of sight before approaching and sweeping him up into a bone crushing hug. 

“Israel-goddamn-Hands!” he exclaims, as Izzy grumbles back a begrudging “Samuel-fucking-Bellamy”, a tradition almost as old as their friendship itself. Izzy might not hug him back, but he can’t keep the corner of his mouth from twitching, just for a second.

(If Sam holds Izzy a little tighter and a little longer than usual, well. That's his business)

By the time Sam lets go, most of the crew has appeared in the town square, drawn in by the commotion. They may have given Izzy his leg and welcomed him as one of them, but still there’s an underlying tension, with nobody quite ready to set aside everything that happened before the Kraken. Seeing him cosying up to an unknown man sets everyone on edge, unsure whether to come to their first mate’s aid, or to assume that they've been betrayed once again.

When Ed sees that the yelling was Sam, his hand goes tense where it's held in Stede's. He knows the routine, has seen it more times than he can count, but as he watches them part he realises that this is the first time in a long time he's unsure of what Izzy's response will be.

Knowing that something’s different, knowing that Izzy's feeling vulnerable already, Sam doesn't go for the same flashy proposal he’s been giving for years. He doesn't promise Izzy the world, he doesn't cause a scene (or, any more of a scene than he already has, anyway). He looks at the fractured man in front of him, takes his face in his hands, and says the exact same thing to him he said when they were little more than boys. “Israel, I have to ask you. I know what you'll say, but I have to try. Come with me. Marry me and sail away with me. I'll keep you safe”

And Izzy… hesitates. He glances over at Ed, at Stede, and says to Sam “...We’re staying in port for a week. Ask me again then”

That's the moment Sam knows there is something deeply, horribly, wrong. He's not just looking at an Izzy who got seriously injured in a fight and is struggling to cope, this is something so much bigger than that- and that Ed has something to do with it. Izzy wouldn't even be considering leaving if he didn't. Whether it was negligence or something more sinister, Sam doesn't yet know, but he intends to find out.

athena, scowling as she gets bullied into marrying the people she pined over for the last 1000 years, suddenly realising something: wait a minute

odysseus: what?

athena, frozen: wait a damn minute you know what this gives me rights to do

penelope, also realising: oh fuck yes

odysseus: I don't like the sound of whatever's happening here what are you two fucking talking about?

athena, grabbing the marriage wine and tossing it back, then kissing her new wife and husband and handing penelope a spear as she picks up a mace: we'll be back shortly, you can start celebrations without us.

penelope: do u have anything that can start a fire

athena, pulling out an old contract and scanning it before throwing it over her shoulder: yes. are you scared of heights or can we fly.

penelope: fucking bring it I've waited years for this moment

zeus: where are they going

hermes, picking up the contract: they're going to... Ogygia? Oh fucking shit they're going to fucking kill Calypso- hey, hello, WAIT-

I would love to see your take on "Understand My Ship In Five Minutes" with ZADR ^_^

Did this instead of homework, worth it tho. I draw a bunch of different dynamics with these two often so it was fun to explore a bit!! I mostly do canon design Zim and Dib art, but occasionally i think about their ship dynamic as teens and in my au :p

Definitely not too late for halloween, I prommy, if you look @ everyday like Halloween your life will be more festive 🎉

Sooo,, this is Not rlly a canon thing,, but could be canon if Allure hypothetically ever does propose to shamura (which they were informed not to and now they know why. Shamura is the only bishop who isn't married to Allure ,, its more of just a regular couple thing ! So i lean more towards not canonical event for the sake of this 🙇)

In silk cradle (~7,000 years ago) , it was infested all with the spider species at the time,, and for marriage rituals , one or the other spider would sacrifice themself to have their head eaten for the sake of nutrients rather than it being out of romance

Now if we apply a fairly conservative shamura still applying some of their old faith from silk cradle and in the cult; if allure ever proposed to shamura with a ring and wanted to get married, they'd look at allure like theyre insane for it. cuz thats Basically asking shamura on wanting/sacrificing your head to them 😭 so with the conflicted look shamura gives allure theyre like ":'-D ?? Is my marriage proposal not good?" And shamura would think allure is messing with them and immediately initiates an attack on them thus easily taking their detachable head and eating it LMAOAOAODWJD

But yeah no shamuras siblings genuinely told allure to refrain from marrying them and they were all like. NO. Allure thought they all were jealous but sERIOUSLY. THE ONLY PART OF THEIR BODY ALLURE COULDNT GENERATE IS THEIR HEAD.... THEY WERE DOING THEM A BIG FAVOR HERE-

I kinda just wanted an excuse to use this part or butcher vanity since i already did the first 40 seconds in an old one :-]

i'm reading a manhwa where people are getting red eyes and it's allowing them to see monsters that live in an alt version of our world

and things are mostly ok with the 2 sides living side by side without each other's knowledge

until you do something to get the monster's attention

then they hunt you

12!donnie is sometimes shown to have red eyes

my brain made connections

the manhwa's called "prey" btw

[thankstothe]

dont reward that with food!
