#honestly this was such a delight to draw

Behold thou art fair, my beloved, behold thou art fair..let me see thy face, let me hear thy voice. For thy voice is harmonious and thy face enchanting, thou has ravished my heart...thy lips drop as the honeycomb....thy palate a heady wine that goes straight to my love and flows over my lips and teeth....

Belated Vere birthday art…but it's drawn by my Hound OC, Alon.

Alon: Vere did a real bang up job with those birthday portraits, I reckon he deserves some nice art for himself, too. So for our favourite foxy's birthday, I drew him this! Ta-da! *presents to the others* Leander: Oh! :D ...Who is that? Alon: It's Vere! :D Leander: Oh. Ais: ... Ais: Why is his ass on fire? Alon: Wh—That’s his TAIL! D:< Mhin: Is he...strangling a fish? Alon: No! He's enjoying a nice glass— Mhin: Of fish? Alon: A nice glass of fish-free fruit tea! Kuras: I can't deny the demon horns suit his character, but I doubt he would appreciate that specific exercise in artistic liberty. Alon: Those are his ears! D: Kuras: ...Ah. Mhin: Then why does he have three of them? Alon: And that's a party hat—Y'know what? None of you appreciate art!

*later, presenting it to Vere*

Vere: Why is my ass on fire? Alon: That's—! *defeated sigh* 'Cause you've got a smoking hot ass.

The birthday drawing:

[ID1: Six bust drawings of Martin from TMA. He is a fat white man who begins with ginger hair, freckles, and a rosy complexion, but these fade into duller brown hair with streaks of grey and pallor as time progresses. The drawings show him: grinning and looking to the side as he says “Cheater!”; in profile and dressed in all black with tears running down his face; in profile and biting his lip pensively; looking at something with restrained alarm; beaming delightedly as he says “Jon’s here!?!” with love hearts surrounding the words; and staring in terrified wonderment at a burning piece of paper in his hand, sweat beading on his face.

ID2: Six bust drawings of Jon from TMA. He is a thin man with medium-brown skin, starting with a carefully-groomed moustache and short, mostly-black curly hair. As time progresses he accumulates increasingly dramatic scars across the visible parts of his body, his hair and beard turn almost entirely silver and grow markedly longer, and he looks increasingly exhausted and haggard. He is shown: looking uncertainly to one side with lurid purple highlights; smiling subtly down at something; lifting a cigarette to his mouth with a shaking hand in wide-eyed terror; in profile, wrapping his arms around his knees with a moody expression; in profile, staring somewhat blankly with a red glow in his eyes; eyes closed with a depleted or restful expression, with his hair messily cropped. End ID.]

Random thought but I do think that fun can be such a good marker of whether or not something is healthy for you or even sometimes if it’s just good in general.

@gender-snatched some of my old art but thought you might want to see

[chitinleg]

so if someone was theoretically going to write a fic based off of the tags on that one very excellent garashir artwork you did... what would be a suitable villain role and/or scheme for garak to play? i know basically nothing about spy media and even less about james bond. i googled "most homoerotic james bond villain" and that was interesting but not helpful for this scenario... idk i want to really do this justice so i figured i could ask, since you came up with the idea in the first place and i guess that means this is a gift for you? and everyone else who liked that piece? thank you for your time :)

this is SUCH a charming question to receive!!! it's an honor that my art might inspire others to create! that said, here is my advice: i think you should follow your heart, mainly! i say this to everyone about everything but its very true, with writing especially, i think, you might want to write things that are especially interesting to you so that its exciting to keep going with them

personally, i don't watch a lot of spy media, i disliked james bond as a kid and i still dislike him now, so the character archetypes and plots from that wouldn't interest me enough to write a fanfic off of—i could read ds9 fic based off of them easily bc i love the ds9 characters!!! but. i couldn't write like that. therefore, i can't give you useful answers from that canon. i can give you this, but i don't know if it will be helpful: i think i would first start with the question—what about garak excites you? what puts you on the edge of your seat with him? what about julian—what actions do you like to see him take? what decisions of his make you giddy? how do you like to dig into his character? how do you like to dig into garak's? if you write down the answers to your question, it becomes the puzzle of how you can get everything you want out of the fic. the beautiful thing about the holosuite is that anything can happen at all, and while you're telling a spy story, it doesn't have to all be spy tropes. you could, if you wanted, play out a shakespeare play (your favorite shakespeare play, assuming you don't hate them all) as if it were a spy thriller! Sure, what's Twelfth Night as a spy thriller? We already have many characters playing with the fluidity of identity, going by different names, taking on different roles, gaining trust and acting on their own best interests. Just raise the stakes a little. is this insane? i feel insane. is it worth anything? i hope so. my ending point is: i am not so good at writing advice! i'm a much better drawer than a worder, but it's a gift already that you've said my art has motivated your desire to create!!!!!!!!! from there on—don't worry about what i want at all, don't worry about doing my work justice!!! take what excites you about the idea, take what excites you from your own ideas, and build it into something that makes you giddy to work on!!! i believe in you, and you have the world at your fingertips!!!!!!
