#but ya here he is

[kidcanines]

"as silly as a lamb, as clumsy as a goat, in the palm of my hand, mine to never share.”

"ah ah, don’t cry lamb, don’t cry…please..”

--DNI NSFW--

♠︎ blows smoke rings in your face and when you scrunch up, boops your nose with a little giggle

♠︎ often grabs you by the back of you collar when you try to run off down sketchy alleyways (that he was going to go down anyways, he just doesn’t want you to run ahead) 

♠︎ primarily calls you lamb. because you are frail and weak but above all, persistent and headstrong just like one. 

♠︎ hates your street clothes. he dresses you in suits, shoes, and other expensive things that remind him of what it would be like to be him when he was young and way less poor.

♠︎ once he decides to pick you up off the streets and take you under his wing, he immediately dumps you in a vat of warm water and just starts scrubbing. you are unthinkably dirty and he cannot deal with dirty things.

♠︎ he doesn’t like it when you cry, in fact, he hates it and doesn’t know what to do with himself. he’s inquisitive though, so he lifts your hair out of your eyes with a gloved hand and puts the tip of his finger on your chin to tilt your face up so you can look him in his eyes. endless darkness meeting a watery baby face.. he begs, pleads you to not let another tear drop. He can’t take it.

♠︎ enjoys being called mama over papa and taking you to fancy places where you can “expand” your palate. it most often ends in a dine and dash but that's nothing new to you. 

♠︎ seeing as he’s known everywhere, the managers can’t really deny him for fear of violence, and so they let him in, take everyone’s orders, and pray for peace. 

♠︎ dances with you. a lot and everywhere. to some imaginary tune he makes up that he hums. he grabs you by the hands on the sidewalk and starts moving them back and forth as he crouches down, down, down, with every shift, obscure humming getting louder and louder until you’re giggling on the street and being spun around by a firm hand on your wrist and another on the small of your back 

♠︎ hates card games. too many ways to cheat. and too many ways to win. the concept should be rid of at worst and completely burnt to the ground at best 

♠︎ he teaches you his business practices. if he’s allowing your presence into his life it has to permeate its very fiber and everything in its existence. not a secret between you two exists.

♠︎ he hates smoking, but is, at the very least, addicted to it. he read somewhere that smoking is bad for a child’s lungs and while not particularly in favor of your endangerment, can’t help himself. he also is a raging pyromaniac and you are quickly taking up that mantle with how often he teaches (and allows) you to set buildings on fire and explode things. 

♠︎ won’t sacrifice you or send you out to do his bidding, contrary to popular belief: he cherishes your innocence and despite touching your face with dirt under his fingers, you remain carefully unscathed. in fact, everywhere he goes, you go, and everywhere you go, he goes. you’re the child wrapped in his stiff coat, the extra two legs not too far behind him. his shadow, waiting and tightly tethered.

♠︎ overly protective of you, believing you're his consciousness come to haunt him, so he protects you. takes care of you. 

♠︎ not actually very touchy, but when you’re in his vicinity his fingers twitch and ghost over your shoulders. almost as if he wants too, but is afraid he’ll corrupt you. Like rain to metal, ready to rust. Water to paper, ready to devour. 

♠︎ despite his adult activities, you're his favorite company to keep. whether it be coloring or watching silly cartoons, there's just something about you that draws him in. of all the lackey’s that he shoots out of boredom, you never make that list. 

♠︎ as said before, he finds you in an alley. rainy day in Gotham and all that jazz. and he passes you up multiple times. over and over again do your eyes meet his for no particular reason other than your staring. until one day he passes up the same alley and you're still there in that position–curled up to shield from the rain and still staring with that leveling gaze– probably got beat up for it if the bruises are telling. from that point on he knows you’re trouble, maybe more than you’re worth, and makes the split decision to grab you anyways. 

♠︎ he doesn’t usually endorse kidnapping, especially not of little brats. maybe it’s because you're overly scruffy and an obviously struggling street kid, or because he’d just decided that it was a good day to take you. or maybe it was because of the way you came. accepting a fate you thought would lead to death one way or another. and in a way you weren’t wrong.

♠︎ from the get-go he was attached to you at the hip. leaning over you to whisper things in your ears. fluttering his hands over your arms. poking you… none of the ways he touches you are very firm (except for when he’s wrapping up an injury you sustained for being stupid.) he’s not touchy, as said before, but he is very helicopter-y.

♠︎ he teaches you how to wield multiple weapons and you find his overly performative fighting style annoying, but captivating- and you say as much. to which he replies with an indignant squawk during one of your spars, only to continue to do more of his schtick. dancing in and out of the way of your hands so you can never get a solid hit.   “Are you sure it’s my fighting style or the fact that you keep missing, Lamb?” 

♠︎hHe takes you to casinos, basements, bars, clubs, alleyways, fire escapes, dumpsters, beaches, subways, food spots, the bottom (and top) of rich and elite buildings, the elaborate underground of seemingly innocent mom n pop shops on the corner of busy streets in the narrows, bridges, rooftops, and anywhere else. all of it, just to find out your limits and what he can and can’t do around you. it’s revealed in a grandiose way, a metaphorical ripping away of the blindfold. the inner workings that keep Gotham’s cogs turning and probably most important of all, what keeps him afloat. 

♠︎ turns out, you’re pretty good at handling the filth of the world! having grown up in it, having come from it. you know more about the navigation system than he’d originally expected, not that he expected you to know at all. it’s difficult weaving through alleyways and sewers and jumping into dumpsters but you make it look like art. an elaborate dance that he watches with barely a mind for anything else despite following you. it was as if, instead of you molding to the filthy city streets, they molded for you.

♠︎ his posture is bad, but he doesn’t like your posture to be like his, so he’s constantly telling you to sit up straight despite being the human equivalent of if a car crashed into a light post. “Do as I say, not as I do..” 

♠︎ hates corporal punishment. would never put his hands on you and hates the idea of someone even insinuating that he has hit you or abused you in any way, shape, or form. It’s what gets one of his “volunteer’s” in trouble and dangling over a vat of corrosive acid.

Changes for print (link):

The original file for this was like the size of a crumb so I ended up having to trace the entire thing 💀 I naturally didn't follow my old lines entirely though and tried to be more mindful of contrast and stuff as I went too. So it's like a pseudo redraw. Which barely took less time than actually redrawing it lol. I still like it!!!

The colors here are matched to the original, but the palette for print is shown in the listing!

Saw @sharkylass' Isabeau Loops AU and went "well I'll have that" and yoinked the design so I can translate it into IRAC AU sprites. Roboro's design fucks severely man, the concept is so good and the post loops design is so pretty.

Mostly just wanted to draw it post loops, but I threw in white dandelion Roboro in there as a treat. He's pretty!

A Linked Universe meets The Dark Crystal AU! I don't even remember what started it at this point. I remembered that the Dark Crystal and Age of Resistance are things I like, blinked, and woke up three days later with an AU and a bunch of art.

The designs and the story are a wip and for fun so expect a lot of variation! (I have a few different beginnings, ideas for different designs, etc)! :D

In addition to #linked universe I'll be using the tags #the dark crystal lu au and #courage of the dark crystal!

The fact that in house of hades Annabeth is like "Nooo Percy 😭 what you did wasn't good some powers should never be used like that 😰" and then the narrative actively decides to prove her wrong in Blood of Olympus? By having Percy listen to Annabeth's ideology and nearly get killed for it in his fight against Polybotes? He doesn't use his control over poison and nearly dies from it. Had Jason not convinced Kymopoleia to help them, Percy would have died. Listening to Annabeth would have killed Percy.

(and then Percy says that he deserved to die for what happened to Akhlys and Jason is like mood bro and it's never brought up again 😑)

And THEN, in the same damn book Nico literally turns Bryce Lawrence into a ghost and Reyna who has trauma associated with ghosts goes: yeah it was scary and reminded me of my dead abusive dad, but Nico we all have darkness inside of us and we should get to release it. Plus you saved us soooo ☺️
