Apparently and Unfortunately, there's been a... sudden influx in the reposting/editing/claim-it-as-their-own of my arts inside the TikTok world (；′⌒`)

I know, I know, "Weeelll you're famous, sooner or later your arts are gonna be reposted, just deal with it bla bla bla." I get it, but still, the fact that a lot of people do it doesn't mean it's right. I've even let loose by letting it go if they reposted with credits by writing my name on the caption, but of course, majority of time, they get reposted without credits, edited, and then claiming it as their own.

I thank all the reports that have come in into my DM's! I promise I've done what I can to make them take it down, but again, most of the time I get ignored in the DM's.

-> SO ✨ What would be a huge, wonderful help to me, is don't be afraid to comment on the posts/tiktoks that it's sleepyconfusedpotato's art KINDLY. Don't attack them, just leave a comment that the art is not theirs and the art belongs to sleepyconfusedpotato on IG and Tumblr. That way the people that sees it will at least know that it does not belong to the reposter.

Once again, thank you guys so much for reporting these to me, but my efforts alone won't be enough, and of course they'll try to ignore/block me as I'm the actual artist. A thief won't admit to their steals.

Thank you and have a nice day/evening!

Modern Warfare Character Ages [2019 + 22]

Preface: Just wanted to add before getting into this that this is my interpretation of the character ages based on information from the games, confirmed information, research into the military/CIA and collage/university course information. This is by no means meant to be a definite statement about character ages, I'm happy to discuss or change any of the information here within reason.

I would also like to credit @sleepyconfusedpotato and @oleworldblues posts with their own opinions on the character ages. Which helped base my own thoughts and provided some good information that they had found. You can find Sleepy's post here and Blue's here they are really good posts and they both explain their own reasons for how they perceive the main cast of modern warfare's ages.

Farah & Hadir Karim : 30 & 32 [2022]

Both Farah and Hadir's ages have been confirmed by Taylor Kurosaki who is one of the writers from Modern Warfare 2019. This was confirmed when a fan ask him via twitter/X about how old Farah was during the Barkov invasion.

This means in 1999 when Barkov invaded Farah was 7 and Hadir was 9. In 2009 when they escaped they are 17 and 19 respectively and in 2019 they are 27 and 29. Hadir dies in December of 2022 as discovered in the Atomgrad raids at the age of 32.

John Price : 37 [2022]

Using the information provided from his original operator bio we find that "John Price joined the infantry at the age of sixteen and has served the British Army for 18 years." and that "he was ‘Badged’ a member of SAS in 2005, spending the next ten years in the Middle East, the horn of Africa.".

With this Price's age works out to be about 34 years old, but since it only mentions serving the British army. I added 4 years for him to be able to complete basic training which is roughly 18 weeks basic training.* Followed by Special Air Service (SAS) training with is roughly a couple months, but you must serve at least 18 months in the military to be selected**, and finally his training at the Royal Military Academy to become a Lieutenant and then Captain which is 44 weeks with 2-3 weeks of leave.***

So Price would join the British army at 16 in 2001, be badged a member of SAS at 20 in 2005, become Captain at 25 in 2010. In 2019 he would be 34 and finally 37 in 2022, which to me makes the most sense based on other character's ages.

*[army.mod.uk solider training] **[eliteukforces.info SAS] [eliteukforces.info SBS&SAS] ***[army.mod.uk officer training]

Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick : 32 [2022]

We can do the same process as we did with Price for Gaz, his operator bio says "Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick, enlisted in the British Army in 2008. Within four years, he passed selection for Her Majesty’s elite Special Air Service where he is currently rounding out a decade of service."

Since his bio never mentions what age he joins like with Price and Soap I'm going to assume he finished school and joined the military at 18. So Gaz is 18 in 2008, 29 in 2019 when he meets Price for the first time and 32 in 2022. I am not taking into consideration the archived Activision blog posts, which say he joined in 2014 because of them being archived. I do use it for some other characters but for Gaz it changed the date he joined not just giving extra information.

Johnny 'Soap' MacTavish : 26 [2022]

You can blame Activision for why Soap is so young compared to the others. So according to his updated operator bio, "Soap has spent the last seven years carrying out both covert and overt operations around the world." this with the contents of his old operator bio before MW3 "At 16, too young to sign up, but lying about his age, MacTavish enrolled in the Special Air Service…"

Means that Soap would be 23 in 2022, which doesn't make the most sense especially considering he is a Sergeant in 2019 meaning he would be 20 in the MW3 flashback. So I gave him the same treatment as Price and added 3 years, to make up for basic and SAS training. So he would be 16 in 2012 joining the British Army have to wait 18 months to apply for SAS, be roughly 18 when he starts SAS training and finish it at 19 in 2015.*

So making him now 23 in 2019, 26 in 2022 but since he lied about his age TF 141 would think he's 28 during MW2 or 25 during 2019.

*[jobs.army.mod.uk SAS reserve]

Alex Keller : 35 [2022]

Alex is one of the last characters who have dates or years of service in their information. From his Campaign Biography it says he was a part of, "CIA's Special Activities Division," and also has surrendered "his former rank and history of special ops military service with Army Delta, Alex sacrificed traditional contact and association with family to join the SAD. He has spent the last six years living a series of assumed identities to achieve “sensitive” objectives wherever he is needed."

There's also, "Through 2017, Alex’s units played a key role in ensuring definitive victories against emerging terrorist networks." So we know Alex has been working in the military before 2017, now most SAD members are former Delta operators. There's also some reports of SAD members having Master's and law degrees.* So with that we can add roughly 6 years to his age to complete a master's degree in law.**

Now Delta force has some requirements like being over 21 to join and having two and a half years of service remaining, so if Alex joined the US military at 18 after finishing High School and getting his diploma.*** In a couple years he could join Delta Force, so by 26 he would be able to be apart of CIA's SAD. (If studying part time while in Delta Force) Then adding the another six years which is when he is apart of SAD, which is mention in his biography as the last six years. The bio is published late 2019 so Alex would be 32 years old.

So Alex would join the Military at 18 in 2005, would be 32 in 2019 when he loses the lower half of one of his legs and 35 in 2022.

*[CIA SAD] **[coursera.org law school] ***[Delta Force] [US Military Requirements]

Now for the Characters with little infomation

Alejandro & Rodolfo : both 37

We find out they've known each other for 20 years and signed up together. So they are both younger than 38 but older than 30 since Alejandro is a Colonel. Looking at Wikipedia you can/have to join 18 the Mexican military for at least 3 years, this gives them about maybe two years to get to know each other before joining together.

Ghost : 35 [2022]

Honestly just pick an age between Price and Gaz, I personally like the idea of him being the same age as Alex and having them know each other previously. Maybe even before Ghost starts wearing the skull mask.

Laswell & Nikolai : 52 & 45 [2022]

No older that 52 and 45 if we go based on their actors ages, which personally makes the most sense to me. Laswell's Campaign biography mentions her supervising a SAD program in 2008, and her having studied a Master's degree in strategic intelligence analysis and having a BA in International Affairs. This doesn't help much though with figuring out her age.

AN: Hopefully this very long post is some what helpful or at least has some good resources that people can check out, especially fanfic writers or people making their own OCs.

I'm also going to repeat what I put at the top the end here. But what I've written down is not a definitive answer for their ages (minus Farah & Hadir) it's just what I personally think makes the most sense.

Don't let my own opinions/conclusions about their ages get in the way of you having fun with how you view/interpret these characters.

Here are results for the "How does your OCs story end?" Quiz for OCs from The UnTitledverse, The Silver Chronicles and Life, Despair & Monsters. Results below:

JOAQUIN COBALT (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

In The Perfect Storm and The Omniscient Rule sagas, sure (and even then those aren't at the end of his story), but other than those Joaquin's story doesn't end with betrayal, rather on a lighter note.

SILVA OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES [FAR CRY 5, FAR CRY NEW DAWN])

No. After everything Silva goes through, that'd be too cruel. I've got plenty of other characters for that. Closest thing this relates to Silva is "questions unanswered" and "desires unfulfilled"; Silva doesn't get satisfying answers after the Collapse and the tragedies she experienced prior, and she mourns the normalcy she only got to live for such a sparse time before tragedy, the Apostles, Eden's Gate, the Congregation and the Collapse denied her that chance. But she does get a rather good ending, a happiness she deserves.

HAOYU ANABUKI (LIFE, DESPAIR & MONSTERS)

Haoyu's fate in the last installment of Life, Despair & Monsters is left ambiguous and up for interpretation and never answered, just like everyone else who remained with them. However, Haoyu is not left alone in the dire situation they had no choice but to run in to, nor do they plead or cry, just accept whatever result comes next (though begrudgingly given Haoyu does just want to live).

NO ONE TO RETURN....

What if Sigma dies instead of Soap?

(Insporation of the pose credits gonto @/sleepyconfusedpotato)

Sigma gasped as her shoulder got shot by Makarov. He knocked Soap out to the ground as he and Captain Price tries to defuse the bomb, while Sigma is covering their backs. Makarov also shoots Price's shoulder, he comes up to him, putting his foot on his chest, aiming his pistol at Price's face.

"Take this to hell with you, Captain... Never bury your enemies alive..." Makarov said bluntly, until Sigma comes right behind him and stabs his shoulder with her combat knife.

Makarov grunts in pain, but he fought back. He grabs Sigma's left arm and breaks it, Price was about to get up and help, but Makarov kicks his face, throwing him on the ground again and he shots Sigma's temple, blowing her brains out. She passes out on the ground in cold blood. Soap's eyes widens in shock, And also did Price's. 

Soap feels his heart shattered in thousand pieces. "NOO!!" He yelled, now seeing Sigma's dead, cold body on the ground. 

Ghost and Gaz came a little too late. But arrived as quickly as they could to return the fire, "Price, Johnny, Sigma!" Ghost yelled, killing the Konni group, Makarov ran away, Price was about to stop him, but the bullet train ran right into it, losing Makarov's tracks.

"Bloody hell!" Ghost cursed.

Soap quickly runs to Sigma's lifeless body, she laid there, the blood splattered around.

"No..." Soap mutters, he carefully picked Sigma's body up, holding her in his arms, his expression turns into pain, her bright ocean blue eyes who are still open, her temple is bleeding too, he carefully brushes black bangs out of her face.

"Sigma... No...!" Soap's voice cracks into sadness, Ghost kneels down in front of them, Gaz sighs shakily. "She's gone, Captain... the bomb-- how do we stop it?" 

Gaz crouches and looks at the bomb's components. Price looks at Soap who's holding Sigma in her arms, Price grits his teeth and turns into bomb.

"Alright, find the red wire. RED ONLY -- Soap said we cut it together --on "3". Copy?" Price grabbed the red wire. 

"Rog. On three!" Gaz also holding the red wire, in Countdown.*

"One...Two...Three!" By that, they together cut the red wire, the beeping stopped, Price and Gaz sighed in relief, the bomb is defused. They turned their heads to Soap and Ghost, who's still examining Sigma's body, Soap is still holding her. 

Price feels the pain too in his heart, Gaz has no words left out of his mouth. They lost a perfect soldier who's supporting the most dangerous situations...

Price immediately went through his comms on his vest, pushing the PTT, "All stations -this is bravo in the blind. Threat neutralized. Bomb is safe... One KIA."

Price informs it, staring at Sigma's cold body. A young, American brave ex-airwoman fought till the very end. 

Soap's eyes sting in pain, then a tear fall down his cheek, he hoped Sigma would hug him back. They were close friends, they understood each other right, protecting their backs. Now she is dead, never to return. 

"I'm sorry..." Soap mutters in his Scottish accent, putting his forehead against hers, he hoped it was all a nightmare, a horrible one, just a nightmare. But it's not a dream anymore, it's a cruel war, war is suicide. But the chaos is real.

They put Sigma to rest, still not ready to say goodbye, yet. Soap is not happy how it ended, the fear is running on his mind. Sigma's aunt, Lala, also fell apart, not believing her ears what she heard.

With that, the funeral began outside. The sunset is almost setting, giving beautiful red colors in the sky.  Gaz, Soap, Price, and Ghost. Of course, Sigma's allies and soldiers from the Air Force academy, they also cared about her. Soap is lost in thought, with no emotions in his eyes.  Sigma's aunt, Lala brought Ruby in the furenal, she runs to the coffin and puts her paws on it, the coffin is also coverd with American flag. Ruby whimpers softly in sadness, putting her paws on the ground and lays down.

With that, a young woman, who has red hair and amber eyes, puts her hand on the coffin, paying respect.

"Aim High... Fly-Fight-Win... You were one of the best, Connors... Sleep easy." She says with full in emotions, tears in her eyes.

Soap remembers something that he wouldn't never forget... Sigma promised them when the chaos is over, they'll go to the Hawaii, make a vacation to relax. Now it's no use, and he knows the chaos will never stop...

With that, he feels something inside, like Sigma is hugging him, because she is...

"Yep, I know I made my promise, but you should move on. I'm leaving everything to you. Goodbye, Johnny..."

.

Okay, I wrote this 2 months ago after Cod mwiii was released, again. I'm sorry for this. This is originally posted on Ao3, but I fixed a few stuff here. So yea, don't attack me... I'm not a good writer so I apologize.

Chapter 8

The following morning, Soap woke slowly and stared at the ceiling, watching Katie sleeping peacefully. He ran his fingertips through her hair, brushing it off her face. She looked even more angelic than normal when  asleep. He studied her features; every feature, every angle. The warm sunlight was coming through the window, highlighting the planes of her face in such a beautiful way. Her cheeks were rosy and pink, her full lips parted slightly as she breathed in and out.

‘I could watch her all day.’ He thought to himself, smiling softly as he traced the shape of her nose and chin. He kissed her lightly on the forehead. She stirred, and he pulled the coverlet on the bed over her naked shoulders, watching her as she slept peacefully.

‘I’d rather be here, cuddling with her all day than anywhere else in the world. This woman is my home...my heart.'

He gently placed a stray strand of hair behind her ear. He  leaned down to press a chaste kiss to her lips. She smiled in her sleep, snuggling deeper into the sheets.

“Hey, sleepyhead.” He chuckled. She opened one eye halfway.

“Mmmm….hi. What time is it?” she mumbled groggily.

“It's morning. Do you want  breakfast?”

She nodded her head quickly, rubbing her eyes as Soap pulled the covers off her. She threw on some clothes and followed him downstairs. They sat together eating a breakfast of cereal, toast, and orange juice. They had some tea on the deck, breathing in the clean forest air.

“Thank you for showing me this place,” she sighed, leaning into his shoulder.

“Anytime, sweetheart. I hope you enjoyed yourself.” He smiled, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

Katie nodded, taking another sip of tea.

“I did! Thanks.”

“Did you want to see something else?”

“You promised to show me the standing stones in the woods.” She said, playing with his dog tags.

“Well, let's head out there now. It's still early.” Soap stood, holding out his hand to help her get up. They walked hand in hand, heading along the path leading deep into the woods. As they reached the riverbank, Soap stopped and picked a flower and put it in Katie's hair. She giggled, walking off the path to balance on a fallen log.

“Come on,” she called. Soap joined her, hopping down the bank and joining her by the water. He took her hands in his, helping her hop across the narrow stream. They walked along the edge of the river, looking around for animals. Soon the came to the clearing where the stone circle was. 

“Wow,” Katie uttered softly. Soap gazed at her fondly, admiring how captivated she seemed. He crouched down next to the stones, observing their intricate patterns. The mossy area was bathed in the early afternoon sunlight, creating a warm glow on the stones. It reminded him of how peaceful they were.

“Do you want to walk around?”

Katie nodded eagerly.

“Sure.”

They walked along the perimeter of the clearing, picking flowers as they walked along the riverbed. 

“When I was a boy, I’d always explore around here; my gran was superstitious, and tell me to be careful or else the fairies would get me. To be honest, I think it was just to keep me from getting lost. I think it was my adventurous side that made me want to join the army.” Soap smirked. Katie laughed lightly, gazing lovingly at him.

They wandered aimlessly around the clearing.

“This spot is beautiful,” she commented.

“Yeah, it is.” He agreed. Suddenly, they heard a strange noise. Turning towards the sound, they saw a large deer walking slowly across the river, looking curiously at them. It stopped at the edge of the stream and sniffed the ground before turning back and trotting away.

“Come on, let’s go down to the pond; I think the blackberry bushes might be ready for picking,” Soap suggested. 

“Good idea.”

They walked back to the small waterfall, enjoying the sun as it filtered into the lake. When they reached the bank, Soap bent down to pick a few berries, tossing them in his mouth one by one. Katie picked a burdock leaf to carry them.

“We can come back here later and bring a container for them.” Soap suggested. “We  can build 

 a fire, maybe watch the sunset. The stars are amazing out here;  they’re so bright you feel like you could touch them.” 

“Sounds wonderful.” She smiled brightly, grabbing his hand. He smiled down at her, squeezing it.

“Come on, let’s make our way back.” He led the way.

Back at the cabin, Soap helped Katie make some sandwiches. It was a quick lunch. Katie found herself looking at some family photos.

“Here’s my mum and dad, and this is my gran.” Soap said, pointing to each face. “Here’s me when I was younger.” He showed her a Polaroid of a kid with mud streaked over his face wielding a stick.

“What were you doing?” Katie said, laughing.

“I was pretending I was a warrior from the Highlands.” He grinned.

“Were you trying to look fierce?” she teased, poking his cheek.

He shrugged, grinning sheepishly.

“I don’t remember much of it....but I was pretty cool.”

She grinned, ruffling his hair.

“That you were.”

They finished makin g their sandwiches and packed them up, putting them in a picnic basket. They headed back to the cabin, sitting outside on the porch.

“I love this place.” Katie sighed happily.

“Me too.” He agreed.

They sat in silence for a while, wondering how long they could ignore the outside world while they were here in the safety of each other’s company. Finally, Katie broke the spell. She looked nervously at him.

“Soap...about last night…”

He sighed heavily, turning his gaze towards her.

“It was something special wasn't it?” he asked quietly.

“Yes it was.” She admitted. “I never knew you felt this way about someone.”

“Neither did I. And it scares the heck out of me.” He whispered. “It scares me that I might leave for a mission, and God-forbid die, leaving you alone.

 I don't know if I could live without you. But I'm not sure if I could bear to lose you. Not again...not after everything we've been through.”

“I wouldn’t ever wish that on you. You’ve given me so many things and no one has ever done anything like that. If you want to be happy; the military is your life. And it's your choice. And I respect it.”

Soap smiled and leaned forwards, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. It was slow, tender and soft. He cupped her face and pressed his body closer into hers, his hands sliding upwards to cup her breasts, pulling her onto his lap. They cuddled for a while, heading back to the pond around dusk. Soap built a fire, and Katie waded in the shallows. Once the fire was burning, he walked over to her and kneeled down beside her, resting his elbows on his thighs as he watched her splash around in the water. His arms encircled her waist as she splashed him playfully. He kissed her neck, nuzzling it with his nose as his hands roamed her body. The stars came out, spread across the blue-black sky. 

“Wow! It's beautiful out here!  I can't believe I missed all the starry nights!” She turned around, laying her hands against his shoulders. Her fingers traced a pattern on his chest.

“Me neither, but it's nice to see them every once in a while,” he murmured, pressing his lips against hers again. He lay back on a blanket near the fire and she rested her head on his chest. A moment later, his arms wrapped tightly around her, holding her close to him.

The fire crackled merrily, casting dancing shadows across the darkening woods. Katie was quiet, her eyelids slowly dropping shut. Soap held her close to him, feeling sleep tugging on his consciousness. He gently stroked her hair. Eventually, her breathing evened out and she fell asleep, her body limp and relaxed against his.

His eyes remained open for awhile longer, watching the stars twinkle above him until he eventually closed them, letting sleep take him under its sweet embrace. They woke up close to midnight.

“Do you want to walk back to the cabin or stay here?” He asked, wrapping his hoodie around her. She yawned. 

“You know, I've never slept under the stars before, Johnny.”

“Then I guess we’ll stay here,” he said, tossing a few extra logs on the fire. He felt her fingers lace with his. She kissed his nose sweetly, then snuggled further into his side. He held her close, listening to the sounds of the forest, feeling content.

Lil wholesome story time: I'm currently in my 7th semester (last year of college) and we don't have many classes to attend, like I only have 3 classes and an internship. So to fill up my remaining credits, I decided to enter the Comics Class. It was a class from the Visual Communication Design major, but students from any other major can attend it as well.

Anyway, I went to the class, there were 70-ish students, we were divided into groups of 4, and got assigned to design a character for our comics. The four of us went crazy, talked about our characters and stuff, it was weird in the most fun way possible, but we were vibing with our characters.

We got carried away, and literally 15 minutes before the classes ended, one of us said "oh hey let's trade Instagram art accounts!" and one by one we had to say our usernames. When it's my turn, I said "it's sleepy, confused, potato."

One of my group of friends literally STARED at me with laser beam eyes. She said, "SLEEPYCONFUSEDPOTATO????" and I said "Ye--YeAaH????" She repeated, "THE SLEEPYCONFUSEDPOTATO????" and I nodded harder, "YEAH???? IT'S MY INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT-- I CAN SPELL IT IF YOU WANT--" as I opened my IG on my phone. AND THEN SHE BEGAN SHAKING AND MOVING HER KNEES AND COVERING HER FACE FLUSTERED AND THEN SHE SAID "I FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!! I'M A BIG FAN!!!"

AND I WAS LIKE "NO FUCKING WAYYYY" SHE SAID "JADE RIGHT????" AND I WENT "OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD."

Her friend (from the same major) said that she's been looking for me all this time, like I've written on my bios that I'm from Bandung, same college, from this major, and bla bla bla. Turns out she's a fan of CoD as well and in Indo it's pretty rare to find a CoD fan irl. So then she decided to attend this comics class, and then suddenly they were grouped together with me without knowing that I'm that kid that she's been looking for it was fucking funny AJSDFLJAFDA 😂😂

Anyway she has an OC ship as well with Price and we screamed and fangirled together after the class it was super unexpected af and it certainly made my day.

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

hi! I just wanna pop in and say just how much I love your art and I adore Jade so much. I was also curious if it was okay to use your art as an icon with proper credit. Obviously just curious, lol. Have a lovely day, Hun!

Yes you absolutely can! 👍 Just don't forget to put 'pfp by @sleepyconfusedpotato' on your bio ✨

Feel free to reblog and tag so others can read it!

The next morning, Katie made her way to the kitchen, where she found Johnny waiting with breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled her senses, making her stomach rumble in hunger.

“Wow, you're quite the early riser!” she teased him, taking a seat across from him.

Johnny laughed.

“You have to be in my line of work. What can I say? I'm a guy of habits.”

Katie shook her head in amusement.

“How's your head feeling?” Johnny questioned as he handed Katie a steaming mug of hot tea. She sipped it gratefully, getting a box of cereal out and sitting down to eat.

“Much better, thanks,” she replied. “I didn't sleep well last night. Nightmares again. That's never happened before…”

“What are the nightmares about?”

“Being kidnapped, mostly,” she admitted. “I thought it would never happen. It almost did. But then I saw you…and I felt safe.”

Johnny grinned warmly. “And you know I'm glad you did.”

Katie smiled shyly and glanced at the ground, flushing crimson. “Thanks. I can't wait to go back to work! Being cooped up like this is driving me nuts!”

“I know what you mean,” Johnny agreed. “But it will pass. Soon enough, I expect the police will make an arrest and things will get back to normal.”

“Yeah, I hope so.” Katie answered and picked up the dishes.

“Until then, you can buy groceries and cook dinner, you know.”

“Oh, um, I don't know. Thanks anyways.” Katie replied quickly. Johnny simply rolled his eyes and smiled slightly. They chatted quietly as Katie washed the dishes. After cleaning up, she headed into the living room.

As she turned on the TV, she happened to see a news report about the bank robbery. She then heard an update on the case, talking about the new leads. As her attention was directed toward the tv, she heard Johnny enter the room and sit down next to her. He rested his hand on her shoulder, making her jump in surprise.

“Sorry! Didn't meant to scare you like that!” he apologized. Katie nodded, embarrassed.

“Don't worry, I guess I should watch the news. It's been a while since I watched one of those.”

Johnny gave a smile and settled himself into the recliner. “Good thing I brought a bunch of DVDs over yesterday; I thought we could watch movies,”

“I was wondering if we could pick out some horror flicks,” Johnny added, smirking.

Katie groaned, shaking her head as she smiled slightly. “Oh my gosh, we really are kids.”

“No, we're not! And besides you've seen some scary shit!”

“Probably nothing compared to what you've been through.”

“So let's go through them together,” Johnny replied grinning.

“Okay….” Katie said with a grin. She pulled up an old favorite; The Mummy. She scrolled past to the title page and clicked Play.

As the opening credits started rolling, she felt Johnny wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her close. With his arm wrapped tightly around her back, she leaned her head back onto his shoulder, resting her head comfortably. Katie didn't really pay any attention to the movie, instead choosing to focus on Johnny’s arms holding her. His warmth was slowly enveloping her, calming her nerves. She closed her eyes for a brief moment.

When she opened them again, the credits had ended, and she looked curiously at the man in front of her.

“Get to bed, lass.” Johnny instructed.

Katie giggled lightly and blushed. “Alright……you too. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight,” he repeated, leaning forward and squeezing her hand. He had only been looking after Katie for a few days, but he felt fiercely protective of her. He wouldn't let her go anywhere until she was completely recovered from her abduction ordeal.

******

Katie tossed and turned in the bed, her breathing erratic, a scream building in her lungs. This nightmare was happening again. It was getting harder and harder for her to escape from the nightmare, and the more she fought, the stronger and more vivid it became. Strong hands gripped her shoulders, forcing her awake.

“Katie! It's just a nightmare...wake up, lass.” Soap shook her, trying to wake her up.

“No! No, no, no! Please stop.” She begged frantically. Tears were streaming down her face, and her chest was heaving up and down; her breaths becoming shallow.

"Shhh..." Soap cooed to her. “Breathe...” he whispered, wrapping his arms around her. He rocked her side to side.

“Please...go...away.” She cried, trying to push him away.

“Lassie, please. Let me hold you. I won’t hurt you; I promise. You’re safe now. I’ve got you. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Katie wiped her eyes, her vision adjusting to the dark room. She saw that he was shirtless. Her heart stopped beating momentarily, but he quickly realized her gaze and looked down to her. She could feel the heat radiating from his skin.

“Sorry,” she apologized immediately.

“Don’t apologise, Katie. I’m right here. Just take your time.”

Katie laid back down on the bed, trying to let her fear-driven mind calm itself. She wrapped her arms around herself as if she were cold, feeling herself trembling uncontrollably. The nightmares began after that day she was taken. But this time, the man wasn’t going anywhere. There was no escaping him. As she lay in bed, trying to control her breathing, she felt Soap’s strong hand on her shoulder. It wasn’t tight or firm, but reassuring all the same. She felt herself calming down and her breathing steady again. He curled up beside her,

wrapping his arm around her and pulled her close, allowing her to snuggle in closer. She rested her head against his shoulder, listening to his heartbeat. Her own racing heart slowly calmed down, her breathing returning to normal. She relaxed in Soaps arms; letting herself fall asleep.

“What are you doing?” Katie asked sleepily.

“Holding you, love. Sleep now. I’m not going anywhere.” His voice was soft and gentle. She listened closely for a moment before nodding.

Soap moved over, pulling the covers around them both. He brushed some hair out of her face.

“Johnny?” Katie asked, half asleep.

“Yes love?”

“Thanks for everything.”

“Anything for you, Katie. Anytime.”

FAQ (´,,•ω•,,)♡

Because It seems like I've got a sudden wave of followers, here are some FAQs! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

1. What hardware and software do you use?

Hardware : My laptop is Lenovo Legion Y7000, for drawing I use Wacom Cintiq 16.

Software : Clip Studio Paint EX

2. What brushes do you use?

For line art I use JiWa Pen (downloaded it on Clip Studio Assets) It's a textured pen rather than a very smooth one. I think it gives more character since I'm line art-based)

For the coloring brush I use just a flat oil paint brush and just the plain ol' blender. Nothing special.

3. How long have you been drawing?

I've been drawing since I was 4 years old. Now I'm 20 so I guess I've been drawing for 16 years now. Still a lot to learn tho.

4. Who are your inspirations in drawing?

for linearting : Yuto Sano (author of Lawless Kids), Tite Kubo (author of Bleach)

for coloring : Kim Jung Hyun (Artist of manhwas Riot, Viral Hit, and Brave Citizen).

art by Yuto Sano (left), Tite Kubo (center), and Kim Jung Hyun (right)

If you see my artstyle, it's kinda the mix of these three.

5. Do you go to art school?

Yes I do! I'm majoring in Visual Communication Design in Bandung Institute of Technology. Going strong on 5th semester right now!

Yes you can! Just remember to CREDIT me in your bio @sleepyconfusedpotato I work hard on that thing ( `ε´ )

7. Can we buy your fanart or anything posted in your blog? How about commissions?

For commissions, yes sometimes I do. Currently it's closed.

8. But I really love you art and I would really love to print it!

I'm deeply honored that my art is loved by you, and you have my permission to save my art and print it.
