#i got so excited when i got this commission

[squeakadeeks]

merry christmas my gift to you is telling a terrible tale since I think enough time has passed (ie over a decade) that i can tell you this without exploding.

when i was like 12 and starting out with art, i was so excited to open commissions just like a ✨real artist✨ and it being deviantart in the 2010's, within about a month i got someone asking for furry inflation fetish art. being a kid and having no sex ed, let alone the insanely specific sex ed that would be needed for me to understand what that is, i didnt flag it as inappropriate. I thought it would just be a "cool anatomy exercise like ✨real✨ artists do!" i was so ready and i took it on for 200 llamabucks or w/e the onsite currency was at the time. i did it, i drew it, whatever. well sure enough after posting it i quickly learned what furry inflation art actually was and i was mortified. being in like.....7th grade i was still terrified of sex and i was worried about my parents finding out so i took the entire sketchbook and buried it under my mattress. I lived in fear for months afterwards and felt like i deserved to be shot for falling for it and making something sinful.

the proceeding events happen in a confusing haze because my mother is an utterly puzzling woman so some suspension of disbelief is required but believe me when i say. i wish this was apocryphal. I dont know how or why, but some how some way my mom not only finds the sketchbook under my mattress, goes through the entire thing, finds the one singular offending sketch, then in a concerning mystery i will invest not a single iota of effort to solve due to the implications, immediately clocked that it was sexual fetish art. the one saving grace of a spherical wolf being niche enough that people wouldnt understand the dark deed i had done was out the window. She rips the page out, goes downstairs and parades it to the rest of the family like: "oh my god! look what ____ drew! lets all look at this! lets all look at this right now and laugh at it!" even with just this, i'm full on bursting into heavy hiccuping tears. as a kid this was the ultimate nightmare. you did something bad, you did something really bad, and your primary authority figure not only found it, but is now making sure everyone else you care about also knows the horrible shameful thing you did. except. there was something i couldnt have fathomed at the time that was about to get much, much worse.

my grandfather was dying of parkinson's at the time. when my mother took the sketch and displayed it to everyone like an auctioneer with a high ticket item, i ran out of the room sobbing so i never saw what happened to the blue inflated wolf with punk bangs. Well we all went to visit grandpa. we're all sitting around grandpa who used to be a famous local artist and was a big inspiration to me as a kid. and my mom goes "hey. ____ also wants to be an artist. Do you want to see what they drew?" and you'll never fucking guess what she pulls out of her pocket. hes barely able to turn and look over only to see that goddamn motherfucking wolf again. unlike before where i was crying so hard i couldn't breathe i remember being dead silent and stone still in shock. i dont think i blinked for 5 minutes but when i got up i threw up in the bathroom lol. I cant remember how but this time i did actually get the sketch back and i tore it to pieces and buried it in the yard. it haunted me for YEARS

but anyway now i have a memory of my mother showing my dying grandfather furry inflation art that i accidentally made when i was in middle school because i wanted a rainbow llama badge on deviantart.

Despite his lingering wariness of Lucifer, Adam found himself drawn to the injured creature nestled within the shadowy crevices of the cave cliff. Adam had witnessed the creature’s resilience and the strange bond that had formed between them, compelling him to continue visiting as much as he found himself questioning his instincts. Each encounter deepened his curiosity about Lucifer, a being both captivating and enigmatic. 

Whenever Lucifer turned his piercing gaze upon Adam and requested something— to drink his blood—Adam felt a flicker of skepticism rise within him. “It helps heal me faster,” Lucifer would insist, his voice a soothing whisper that seemed to echo softly in the cavernous space around them. While Adam couldn't entirely shake the unease that bubbled in his gut, he had observed the tangible results over time. Each time he complied with Lucifer’s requests to drink his blood, he witnessed the creature’s wounds closing a little more, colors returning to the pallid skin.

As Adam relented, offering what he could, he found himself softened by the gratitude that radiated from Lucifer. The creature’s smile, though it bore the marks of pain, was genuine and warm, illuminating the dark enclosure and, against all odds, making Adam smile in return. It was a shared moment of understanding that tethered their fates, unraveling the tension that filled the space between them. The cave, once a mere shelter for Lucifer, was transformed into a sanctuary of unexpected camaraderie, where Adam slowly began to accept the strange connection they shared.

One day, he couldn't help but ask a burning question. "What are you exactly?" Lucifer turned his head, wiping the blood from his lips. "I'm a Kraken. We...are about the same age. I actually might be younger than you." Adam blinked. "You're younger than ten?" Lucifer nodded slowly. "Yes. I believe I'm nine." Adam smiled mischievously. "I'm older!" Lucifer gave him a mock glare. "Don't let that go to your head."

"Too late! I'm the boss!"

"Ugh."

XxX

Adam noticed pretty early on that Lucifer liked to bite him. Sometimes they were okay and he at first started just biting his fingers. Then, it escalated to biting his arm and shoulders. Legs. Anytime Adam did something to excite him, he bit Adam. They kind of hurt but Lucifer had seemed happy so Adam had let it slide. 

Until one day Lucifer bit a little too hard and Adam pulled away. The look on his face made Adam's heart clench. Tears formed in his eyes as the devastated look kept getting worse. 

“Luci?”

“Why? Why?” Lucifer didn't seem able to communicate properly while he was so upset. Adam held him as the Kraken sobbed and the human had no idea how to help him. Finally, out of desperation, he bit Lucifer's hand. The Kraken looked at him in surprise. He kept biting, hoping he wasn't messing things up further.

When he bit Lucifer's arm, the Kraken blushed a bright gold. The beast didn't say anything for a minute. To the point that Adam thought he went too far. That is until Lucifer suddenly launched at him, pinning him to the floor. His face was nipped at and Adam laughed as Luci was back to his old self.

———-

To offer you blood is to open a bond. To allow a bite is to initiate courting. Biting among Kraken are signs of affection. And, maybe, Lucifer is desperate to leave permanent bite on Adam. But for Adam to reject the biting is for Adam to reject his courtship. But Lucifer is young, he shouldn’t be able to leave a permanent mark…

Kid Adam and Lucifer are just cute to me.

hello everyone, how's it going?

who would've guessed that another year would go by so quickly? but still, a lot happened this year to myself and of course, this blog.

to start off, this year wasn't as dry as last year. i released four fics in total. to be honest, i am happy but at the same time, the three commissions that i have on hand on are still unfinished. i am working my hardest to get it done every day, so rest assured that they will be coming soon. again, i am very sorry for the inconvenience and i will do better next time. (yall are saints i swear)

time sure flies, especially when you're working a full time job and having to deal with boring adult stuff. sometimes it gets hard, so hard that it takes a toll on your health, and that's exactly what happened to me for the past couple of weeks.

long story short, i got sick because i wasn't taking care of myself well. you pair that with end of year bullshit at work and personal stuff that requires months to do, and eventually, my mood goes rock bottom. motivation was at an all time low and everything just felt like a hassle to do. that's why i've been inactive on the community for a while, but honestly that's a regular thing for me at this point LMAO-

but anyways, i do realize that i'm being very unhealthy and anxious on myself. so i'm trying my best to keep my head up and stay within my goals. i'm not 100% back yet, but i am working hard for it.

and for that, i say thank you to everyone who has supported me along this journey! this blog will reach its 5th anniversary next year, and i really wanna do something special for it, so hopefully you all will stay along for the ride! but truly, thank you so much for making a part of life, and a part of my happiness.

to end it off, i wish everyone a very merry christmas, happy holidays and an exciting new year! <3

I think one of my faaaavorite parts of doing commissions is seeing all of the art the commissioner sends for references. SO MUCH incredible gorgeous art that they've received from past commissions or drawn themselves and it's really amazing!! And seeing their characters interpreted in different styles!! I love it so much!!

Adam turned eleven today, a milestone that made his heart swell with excitement. The sun flooded the sky in brilliant hues as he hurried toward the familiar cliff cave, eager to share the news with his friend, Lucifer. With each step, he thought about how much he had grown over the past few months—both in height and in an understanding of the world around him. He couldn’t wait to show Lucifer just how much bigger and more mature he had become.

As he approached the cave, a sense of nostalgia washed over him. It was a place filled with memories—the sound of their laughter echoing against the stone walls, the adventures they had shared, and the challenges they had faced together. Hidden from the eyes of the village and the persistent scouting from the ports, the cave was their home and treasure. Upon the walls were littered with the cravings of their would be deeds. The adventures and sights they would someday see, filling Adam full of hope of a future as he never dared before. Maybe… just maybe… Stepping inside the cove, he was immediately struck by how much better Lucifer appeared. The scars that once marred his body were fading, and the dark pallor that had clung to him for so long was giving way to a healthier hue. It filled Adam with hope to see his friend almost fully healed.

"Lucifer!" Adam called out, his voice bouncing off the walls. A smile broke across Lucifer's face, brightening the dim cave. It was a smile that was both welcoming and oddly strained. Adam, caught up in the joy of turning eleven, was too blissfully absorbed in his own happiness to notice the flicker of agitation that crossed Lucifer's features.

As they exchanged greetings, Adam's mind raced with thoughts of games, stories, and birthday celebrations. But deep down, an unspoken truth lingered—Adam knew that the day would come when Lucifer would leave. He had always known it, a shadow that danced at the edge of his happiness. Three months felt far too short; the reality of separation weighed heavily on his heart, though he tried to push it aside. For today, he just wanted to bask in the joy of friendship and celebrate the present moment, even as the future loomed just beyond their shared laughter. All the while building up his courage to bridge the tension, to grasp his dream and entice his friend along side him. Ready to offer as much of himself as it took as long as Lucifer came back.

But as the day continued, he couldn't help but notice something else tinkering away at Lucifer’s thoughts. His gaze eerily unblinking as he stared either at him or nothing with an expression slipping through that Adam couldn’t recognize.

Adam tilted his head to the side, his brow furrowing as he observed Lucifer's unusually tense posture. Though time had don’t little to Lucifer’s petite demeanor, the kraken half had elongated. Bordering near massive compared to how Adam had initially found him. And it was Lucifer’s Kraken traits that never failed to give him away. Adam watched his friend shifting uncomfortably in the diminishing space; his tentacles curling slightly as if seeking solace in their own embrace. The strange skin a collage of varying shades of reds and pigments that half camouflaged Lucifer into the rock itself. Worse, was the longer time seemed to drag on, the more apparent Lucifer seemed determined not to meet his eyes. Like he couldn't bring himself to meet Adam's concerned gaze, eyes darting away as a hushed silence fall between them. The air becoming stifled by the unsaid words dangling overhead.

“Luci? What’s going on?” Adam asked gently, his voice steady yet laced with worry. “You seem upset.” 

Lucifer's response was a strained smile, one that revealed his sharp fangs, glistening in the soft, ambient light. It was a disarming sight, yet it only intensified Adam's unease. The once-vibrant glimmer in Lucifer’s gaze seemed dulled, overshadowed by the weight of whatever was troubling him.

“Adam…you know I’ll always care about you…right?” Lucifer finally spoke, his voice low and hesitant, as if he were grappling with the implications of his own words. 

Adam blinked in surprise, his mind racing to understand the sudden shift in their conversation. A dozen questions flitted through his thoughts; what could possibly cause such an emotional upheaval in his friend? The tension crackled in the air between them, and Adam felt an instinctual urge to bridge the distance, to understand what lay behind Lucifer's troubled exterior.

"Of course I—" Adam began to speak, but his words were abruptly cut off by a cacophony of screams that pierced through the stillness of the cave. The chilling sound sent a shiver down his spine as he was quick to realize from which direction the desperate cries were coming from. His head turning awards the familiar direction of town as panic surged through him like a tidal wave. The eleven-year-old sprang to his feet, adrenaline pumping in his veins, as he steeled himself to dash outside and assist those in peril. The sounds that echoed made the ground shutter beneath his feet. Inhuman and it was soon followed by a chorus of others that nearly drowned out the screams. Oh, god the screams-

“I'm sorry, Adam.” The voice was sorrowful and faint, barely registering in the chaos of his thoughts. Before Adam could comprehend its meaning, a sharp, searing pain exploded at the back of his neck, a sudden combustion of sharp agony blurring his senses. The boy staggered, struggling to maintain his balance, but the darkness began to encroach upon his vision.

In those final moments of consciousness, Adam caught a glimpse of Lucifer's red eyes—pools of regret mingled with a fierce determination. It was a fleeting image that carved itself into his mind as the world around him dissolved into oblivion. Sounds like cannons echoed somewhere faintly from a distance and screams of his village followed him into nothingness.

XxX

Adam stirred from a restless sleep, the throbbing pain in his head pulling him from the depths of unconsciousness. He brought a trembling hand to his forehead, wincing as his fingers grazed the tender skin. As his senses gradually sharpened, he became acutely aware of the numerous bite marks peppered across his body, particularly along his neck. The angry red welts fascinated and horrified him in equal measure; he knew they would leave deep scars once they healed. But why would Lucifer…?

Pushing himself up with great effort, Adam fought to regain his balance. His legs felt unsteady, reminiscent of newborn deer attempting their first steps. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he stumbled out of the dark cave that had been his unintentional refuge. The cold air hit him like a slap, awakening his mind but also deepening his sense of dread.

As he approached his village, his heart sank in disbelief. What lay before him was a desolate wasteland; the vibrant life he once knew was replaced by a haunting silence. 

The proud, sturdy buildings that had stood for generations were now reduced to mere heaps of wet timber and smoldering rubble. The air was thick with the acrid scent of smoke, a bitter reminder of the destruction that had engulfed his home. And the bodies...so many bodies. All dead. Who...what could have done this?!

That's when he noticed that not all the bodies were human...some were deathly familiar. Familiar in the ways of strangling tentacles, half malformed humanoid upper halves. They laid impaled, shoot and butchered among the rest of the carnage. Krakens. Just like Lucifer. Adam felt himself tremble. No. No. Lucifer may have looked dangerous but he was a sweetheart. Adam knew his kind to be misunderstood! They couldn't have done this! Yet, all he could see were desecrated homes, fields amassed in bodies and small figments of shattered domestic life. And the further he examined, desperate for survivors, Adam found only more horror.

For upon his own skin was a mirror to the deep gashes and bite marks that littered fragments of flesh torn from his kin. The other half a landscape painting of gore still dripping from their mauls.

He sank to his knees, trembling like a leaf in the wind. Adam bit his lip so hard he knew he was bleeding. Another drop amongst a million that stained every where he touched. And with a scream he clawed at his own skin with a sob chocked in rage. The bites, still raw upon his person felt like they were burning him from the inside. Every nip and playful bite from Lucifer came back like stab through the heart. To every memory he conceived as affectionate now became blighted with the taunting of Lucifer’s betrayal. To leave him alive to see it to fruition. Tears pricked at his eyes as Adam glared at the sky before he screamed. "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOUR KIND IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO! THE SEA WILL NEVER KNOW OF PEACE AGAIN TILL IT KNOWS ONLY THE LAST DROP OF ALL YOUR KIND!!!”

His own bites burned and Adam would soon grow accustomed to their hollowed calling.
