Nathaniel's Bane, Part 2
Whumpril Day 29: No Appetite
CW: recovery from illness, brief magical/Gothic whump
As he sits at the dining table, nudging his dinner around with the tip of his fork, Nathaniel can feel his sister’s gaze on him. She keeps glancing at him between bites, her dark eyes flicking up to his face and back to her plate as if she’s scared he might faint right there in his seat.
“Stop looking at me like that,” he mumbles, placing his fork down next to his uneaten vegetables.
“But I’m worried about you. You were sick all night, the doctor said.” She copies him, setting her utensils down with a clink, finally looking at him directly. He can see her concern: it’s obvious in her tight mouth and tired eyes. She should be used to this by now, he thinks, wadding up his napkin in his lap.
“I was, but I feel better now,” Nathaniel says. “Look, I’m even sitting at the table.”
“Not eating anything.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“So you’re still sick!”
“Children, please,” comes the reprimand from the end of the table. Samuel Mortenbrook looks at each of them in turn, his own face mirroring his daughter’s tiredness. “Elvie, if he’s not hungry, he doesn’t have to eat. Nathaniel, she’s worried about you.” He says it all matter-of-factly, without much feeling, as if explaining something for the hundredth time. His plate clean, he pushes back from the table and beckons to the maid to remove their dishes. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must return to my work for the rest of the evening. I trust you can take care of yourselves?”
“Yes, Father,” Elvie replies, nodding.
Nathaniel nods wordlessly. Deep in his chest, the stone throbs once. He keeps his face passive, not wanting to betray the brief crack of pain that rockets through his body. The library. I have to get back to the library. I have to keep looking. He forces himself to breathe evenly as he leaves the dining room. The hall outside is dim and empty; he holds one hand outstretched for balance as he walks, trying not to cough. His heartbeat quickens in time with his thoughts.
I found something. Hope. A cure. Something, anyway. Something I can’t let go. Something that might make me well.
Something my family can’t ever know about.

the girl from the other side ✨ this series gave me hope a million times but simultaneously shattered my heart into the same amount of pieces </3 (flower symbolism under cut)
sticker sheet for anime north 🍀🥧🖤🤍
SPOILERS AHEAD
forget me not - obvious reference to the Black Children and how they eventually forget who they are as they near the end of their "life cycle".
white clover (in coffin) - white clovers typically symbolize innocence.
4 leaf clover - like I wrote in a previous post on my Witch Hat Atelier seasons piece, the 4 leaf clover symbolizes luck and good fortune. Like Coco, Shiva to her loved ones is a symbol of fortune, though to the Inside Kingdom, a symbol of misfortune.
sunflower - typically symbolize strength and warmth, a fitting flower for Shiva, the light illuminating Teacher's dark past.
nasturtium - another flower symbolizing strength, and has strong ties to the "victory" after battle. apparently soldiers used to don them as a sign of a long battle won. fun fact they are also edible (don't take my post for nutritional advice please) (ill probably write a bit more on this topic when my head is more clear)
#the girl from the other side#totsukuni no shoujo#nagabe#my art#oh how i love dark fairy tales...........#had a lot of fun with the dark gothic/horror aesthetics.. i shrimply want to draw more self indulgent things moving forward#but now my arm needs rest augh#probably no one will buy this but it's ok ill keep all copies for myself!#EDIT: I WONT FORGIVE TUMBLR MOBILE FOR ASSUMING THE TITLE OF THIS POST WAS 'SPOILERS AHEAD' WTF..

"Wow, you're so self-aware! It takes most people years of therapy and dedication to get to that point." Thanks, I constantly feel completely disconnected from my physical being and the material sensation of my body, brain, and spirit/soul is so overwhelming that I often have to see myself as an objective third-party instead of an integrated entity. Father son holy spirit and all that.

Strange Sensations I crave:
1: taking my spine out and wringing it real good so it cracks every area and helps the pain (fuck scoliosis)
2: taking my eyes out and putting them into a glass of cold water (refreshing for dry eye)
3: Take my skin off and give it a very good scrubbing and moisturizing (no more itchy eczema)
4: taking my brain out and deep cleaning it then soaking it in an ice bath (I'm convinced this would cure my migraines)
5: Scratching behind my eyes (they are often itchy)
7: eating my many pica cravings without it causing issues (i.e. sand, foaming soap, decorative bar soap)
8: taking my muscles apart and soaking each one in a warm bath and then giving it a deep massage (bye bye achy body)
9: Pulling my sinuses out and rinsing them thoroughly (I think it would help my allergies)
10: removing my bottom jaw to give me a break from my TMJ for a while (self-explanatory)
Please reblog this and add yours so I know I'm not crazy in wanting these things. My therapist says these are symptoms from my OCD so that's fun.

Nathaniel's Bane, Part 1
Whumpril Day 13: Angry Tears
CW: Gothic illness, fever whump, implied self-harm
Cold silver moonlight pierces the gloom of Nathaniel’s bedroom as the boy lies awake, tossing and turning from the discomfort in his chest.
It’s happening again, the same way it always happens: pain that starts small in his sternum, radiating through his body and bringing with it a weakness that he can never shake, an illness from which he never gets well. A few days ago, he could traverse the garden, albeit slowly, walk to the library and back, even sit outside in the bright sunlight for an hour at a time without his body failing him. Now, he can’t even leave his bed.
And it’s all because of the—
A gentle knock interrupts his thoughts, followed by a low voice calling his name. “Master Nathaniel?”
He doesn’t answer, but the door opens anyway, revealing the figure of the doctor, slightly disheveled, concern deepening the shadows on his face.
“You’re unable to sleep,” he observes, opening his bag. “Let me take your temperature again.” He helps the boy sit up and slides the thermometer under his tongue. Nathaniel closes his eyes and lets the doctor do his work. Not that it will help. Nothing does.
A couple of angry tears bead in the corners of his eyes and slide down his hot cheeks. If only he could remove the thing from his chest, get it out of him, rip it away and hurl into in the sea.
“You definitely have a fever. This will help bring it down.” The doctor holds a small vial to Nathaniel’s lips. He drinks it automatically, recoiling at the bitter taste as if taking it for the first time, not the thousandth. A wave of weakness washes over him, and he sinks back into the pillows, another tear tracking down into his already-damp temple.
He feels rather than sees the doctor examine him with a sad, pitying look. “I’ll come check on you again. Try to sleep, if you can.” The door closes with a soft thump, and Nathaniel lies alone again under the cold white moon.
To his fevered imagination, it looks like an eye, boring into him with an unblinking, terrifying stare, as if a gargantuan monster on high is observing the tiny, sick human on earth. Nathaniel rolls over, away from the eye, and the pain in his chest lessens just a little. His right hand, curled under the pillow, touches something hard and cornered. The dagger his father gave him. He forgot he put it there before night fell, before the pain in his body started afresh.
After a while, his tossing and turning gives way to shallow, fevered dreams, but not before an idea edges into Nathaniel’s mind.
Maybe there is a way to remove the devil’s stone from his body after all.

A Cornstalk Fiddle
(Part 1/?)
And here they are! The first three pages of a fan comic, based on @notbecauseofvictories brain altering fic 'A Cornstalk Fiddle'. Read more below if you're interested in where this comic came from and where it’s going :))
I've continuously returned to notbecauseofvictories’s writing over the years— if I ever feel lost in my own story telling when it comes to comics, poems or prose, notbecauseofvictories is one of those authour's whose work always reignites a creative spark in me, and I just wanted to make my own tribute to one of my favourite stories <33
I've had this all visually planned out in the back of my mind for a year now, and finally drafted the storyboards this summer. I can’t promise a timeline of when the next pages will be posted, hopefully over the next few months, but I’m planning on doing this whole scene and it should come to about ten. I hope you guys enjoy them and tell me what you think!
#a cornstalk fiddle#the devil went down to georgia#johnny and the devil#notbecauseofvictories#southern gothic#gothic art#comic#my comic#my art#i had The Pictures in my head too long and have become ill so i am drawing this comic now hahahah#trying to convey the Devils wierdness and power in art form is a challenge#he does love to shape shift#more to come soon i hope#having work that doesnt exhaust u with decent hours sure does wonders for the brain!
