#idk why it’s so hard to find nice angles of people from back view tho 💀

[chibishortdeath]

Labeling this one mature cause it’s artistic nudity, which isn’t something I usually draw but yippie! Scar and anatomy reference! :3

I have explanations of where most of these scars come from, so I’ll go through them :)

The massive one covering his whole upper back is the one Dracula gave him and the one that bares the curse. I tried to make it kinda gnarly looking, but still distinctly claw marks. There’s a couple other scratches near it from other creatures.

The ones on his arms come from a couple things. I imagine he uses his arm bracers a lot to block things and sometimes hits are still enough to leave a mark under them. The scars also come from an effect of the curse: rotting. Rot usually starts at extremities and would leave some nastiness there, probably exacerbated by moving a lot. The first three images have the legs not visible but I usually put something similar there too.

Speaking of, the very large ones on his lower legs in the fourth image are burn scars from the scene of X68000 and Chronicles where the rooms before Dracula set on fire! I guess some of it might also be from walking in the cursed swamp too.

Most of the random smaller ones are just generally from fighting monsters. Tbh I’d be more surprised if he didn’t have any scars from having axes and bones and fire and fleamen thrown at him all the time lol.

In the third image there’s a couple bite marks and yeah those are from Drac too. I’ve seen some folklore about vampires being able to drain people long distance or while not being entirely corporal and yeah that sounds like something he’d do through the curse just to make Simon’s life worse. Idk, I have the novel Dracula and I should be reading it for other ideas for stuff tbh. This one might change entirely eh who knows. Either way, I think the curse’s ultimate goal was to make him suffer and then turn him after he dies from it so I wanted to add some more implications that he’d become a vampire if he failed to break the curse.

There’s some other things of note that aren’t scars. I try to make him look a little frailer and thinner in Simon’s Quest cause well yeah the curse. I don’t think it’s noticeable here since the fourth image isn’t the Simon’s Quest design and he doesn’t look much wider whoops. I’ll have to try to keep how ripped he is more consistent in later drawings 💀. Uhh I also try to make his eyes look significantly more tired, way larger eye creases and a bit of dark. If this was a colored drawing there’d be a little red under his eyes and he’d be paler than the last image. Just details to make him look sick ig.

Yeah, these are mostly doodles just for me to look back at and make sure I’m drawing him consistently d(^^ ).

Crush Culture - Peter Parker imagine

A/N: Totally got inspired by the AMAZING song called Crush culture by Conan Grey (check him tf out if ya haven’t). 

warnings: none I think? minor swear words maybe. some angst but fluff mostly

word count: idk exactly but a bit on the longer side soz it’s worth it tho

paring: Peter Parker x Reader

summary: Your recent feelings towards Peter have been getting you down lately and when Valentine’s comes around, you feel yourself growing tired of it. Just as you plan on completely ditching your crush something unexpected happens.

.

Valentine’s Day.

A day most people viewed solemnly as a consumers trap. Even though you’d never actually had a proper valentine, you didn’t mind that other people did. Any day to celebrate kindness was a win in your eyes, and you had never had any problems with the slightly gimmicky day. At least, not until now. 

Recently, feelings for the shy, sweet and kinda nerdy guy most people recognized as Peter Parker had surfaced, which put you in quite an unfortunate position. It didn’t take a genius to notice how he felt about a certain Liz Allen, seeing the way his dreamy gaze always seemed to lock on her in the hallway. For an observant person like you it was glass clear, he had fallen head over heels for her. As if that wasn’t enough, you being good friends with Michelle and being Ned’s childhood friend landed you some pretty juicy inside information on Parker’s more private thoughts. 

Now, at Midtown High, Valentine’s Day wasn’t that big of a deal really, only a few decorations in hallways and the cafeteria were hung by members of the student council. A small contest involving guessing the right amount of Hershey’s Kisses in a large jar was an annual thing they arranged. To enter, you could either team up in two or go solo, and after carefully looking at the jar from all sorts of angles, you wrote down your name, class and guess. Last year, you and Michelle teamed up as a joke and ended up winning the entire jar of Hershey's, which you ended up sharing with Ned and Peter. This year though, you weren’t in the mood for sweets, really all you felt was bitterness.

I don’t care if I’m forever alone

I’m not falling for you

'Cause this baby is love-proof

You glanced over at Peter as he stood with Ned by his locker, nerding out over something and you pursed your lips in aggravation. Nope, you were not going to do this to yourself. Crushing on someone who isn’t interested in you is a bad move and also not a very healthy one. 

“Hey loser, why ya looking so cranky?” 

Michelle slammed herself into the locker next to yours, scrutinizing your facial expression. The bang she caused snapped you out of your stare but you continued furrowing your brows as you let your gaze fall on the darkness in your locker.

Crush culture makes me wanna spill my guts out

I know what you’re doing, tryna get me to pursue ya

Your eyes set on nothing in particular as Michelle gave you a light nudge in the side. ��Dude, are you in a trance or som-“

“Michelle, I need you to distract me today.”

“What are you tal-“

“Just please.” 

Cutting her off, you subtly let your gaze wander over to the two boys again, feeling your heart flutter as Peter let out a giggle over something Ned said. “Take me somewhere or tell me weird stories, you’re full of those.”

“Oookay, um, I plan on stylishly tearing apart some clothes after school to make them more grungy and I guess I could need someone to help me-“

You slammed your locker shut, keeping your gaze on the sweater wearing boy before abruptly turning on your heel and grabbing onto MJ’s arm. “Great. Let’s go talk about that.”

Oh no, don’t look in their eyes, 'cause that’s how they get you

After lunch and another two periods of trying to completely ignore the fact that all you could think about was Peter, the bell rang signalling the end of class. Scrambling your books, pens and papers into your arms, you got up and quickly started making your way out of the classroom. You didn’t get very far though until you felt a light tap on your shoulder to which you turned around sharply. As your gaze locked on a set of far too familiar brown eyes, you felt the air go out of you. 

“Y-you dropped your, uh, your pen.” 

Peter held up the blue pen with a shy smile on his lips. 

“Hmm. Thanks.” You replied stiffly before turning to walk off but once again Peter stopped you. 

“Hey, uh, Y/N. Are-are you okay? You seem kind of upset…” 

Standing still in your spot, you closed your eyes and took a sharp breath. “I just, I’m not in the mood today, Peter.” 

Your voice dripped with bitterness which made Peter frown slightly. “Well, are you sure, you seem-“

“I’m fine.” You snapped, not looking back the slightest as you hurried away.

And no I don’t want your sympathy, all this love is suffocating

Just let me be sad and lonely

Throwing your books into your locker, you held onto the blue pen just a few seconds longer before throwing it in with the rest. Sighing deeply, you let your head rest against the locker. Why couldn’t you get the stupid crush out of your head? Resting your temple against the metal, you frowned slightly, feeling a mixture of sadness and frustration. 

Grabbing your calculus things and closing the locker you set off to go find MJ in the library where you had planned to meet up briefly before class. Passing by the doors to the cafeteria you couldn’t help but look at the table where Liz and another member of the student council were standing, managing the Hershey’s guessing contest. It was no wonder why Peter found her so attractive, hell, you were sure everybody did. Besides her looks, her all-around kindness and charisma were charming enough to win anyone over.

I don’t care what you’re saying, I don’t wanna participate in your game of manipulation

“Hey, Y/N! Wanna try for a kiss?” Liz’s preppy voice cut off your thoughts and you forced a smile. Walking up to her, you placed a strand of hair behind your ear, swallowing hard. 

“Hey, Liz.” You greeted, taking a look at the nicely decorated table with the jar. “Wow, looks great this year. Have you been here all day?” 

She nodded, giving you a beaming smile as she went on to talk about all the effort she and the others put into it. You couldn’t help but stare at the way her eyes lit up as she talked, which made you think of Peter’s eyes whenever he was excited. 

“Are you gonna compete? Defend your title as the reigning queen of Hershey’s?” The both of you giggled at the nickname she gave you, and after a deep sigh, you bit your lip and took the piece of paper Liz held out for you. 

Taking a close look at the jar of Hershey's you furrowed your brows as you tried to count them. Giving up after reaching 32 you shook your head lightly before scribbling down 68, adding a couple more thinking it couldn’t hurt. Handing back the pen and paper to Liz, she gave you a wink. 

“Good luck, Y/N. Oh, and don’t forget that the winner is revealed at 3:30.” You nodded and said goodbye to her thinking to yourself that you’d probably be well on your way to MJ’s by then. 

A sudden slam hit your body and almost made you lose your balance. A wave of rage boiled up in you and you swore to god that if the universe won’t stop putting you in situations like this, you’d lose all sense of hope. His warm eyes now had a worried and slightly scared look in them and you sighed heavily when you were once again face to face with them. 

“Oh my-my god, Y/N, shit, I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t, I wasn’t watching where I was going a-and suddenly you were there-“

Shut your damn mouth, you’re talking too loud

“It’s fine.” You averted your eyes and tried to push past him, but he caught you by your arm. 

“Hey, is everything okay with you Y/N..? You’ve been so off the entire day, actually a lot lately… Did I do something to upset you? Please t-tell me if I did something wrong because we all know I’m pretty clueless most of the time.”

“More like oblivious…” You muttered out, barely catching his attention. 

“W-what?”

You shook your head softly, dismissing his question. He kept his confused puppy eyes on you and eventually you dared to gaze up at them. Big mistake. 

“Y/N, you can talk to me, you know that. I-I know we maybe aren’t super tight friends. Y-yet! But, um, I’m totally here and up for, uh, for venting-“ He rambled on, worry lacing his stutters. 

You shook your head slowly, gaining solid eye contact with him. “I don’t, I don’t know how-” 

You sighed defeated, filling Peter with an unsettling feeling. His kind eyes bore into yours and you felt trapped in a corner. What the hell were you supposed to say? Confess? You opened and closed your mouth a couple times and pressed your eyes shut before giving him a sad smile. “I can’t.” 

Merely talking to him pained you. How could such a minor thing like having a crush make you feel like absolute garbage? You scurried away to the library only to see Ned sitting with MJ, making small talk. Slamming your book down as you sat next to MJ, you let your head fall to the table. 

“I am having a horrible day today. I feel like I’m being punished.” Your words were muffled by the book, but Ned’s sympathizing hand on your shoulder made you look up. 

Resting your chin on your hand, you managed to sit up just as Peter made his way into the room, cheeks pink and eyes bright. “I thought it would only be us two.” You hissed to MJ, to which she shrugged. 

And no one cares if you two made out

“Holy crap, guys, you won’t believe what just happened. I went up to Liz and we actually had a solid 5 minute conversation. She, a-and me!”

“That’s great, Peter!” Ned uttered excitedly. “Maybe you can ask her out later then?”

“I-I don’t know, may-maybe? I might talk to her as she reveals the Hershey’s winners. Tell her I’m really impressed with the set-up or something.”

You and MJ shared a slightly annoyed look before turning back to the boys. “Congrats, you actually had a conversation with a person. Color me impressed.” MJ muttered out in her normal manner.

Peter rolled his eyes before continuing to blabber on. You couldn’t help but feel sick hearing him talk so fondly of her and not you. 

“I’m gonna go home actually, I’m not feeling good. Sorry MJ but we’ll have to reschedule. Uh, good luck with Liz and everything, Peter. See ya, Ned.” With that you said goodbye to the trio, leaving them all pretty confounded. 

Making your way down the halls and to your locker as fast as you could, you practically ran to the nearest subway station. Locking your front door behind you, you went straight to your room, ignoring your dad’s confused question as to why you were home so early. He knew not to press you on the subject so he let you cool down for a while. Throwing yourself on your bed, you let out a whimper as you felt tears prick at your eyes as you lost track of time. Being too caught up in your thoughts and self-pity, you didn’t even hear the doorbell ring about 30 minutes later or the knock on your door. Suddenly a familiar figure creaked your door open and leaned against the frame. You caught glimpse of him in the corner of your eye and practically flew up into a sitting position. 

“Peter? What are you doing here?” You asked in utter confusion, furrowing your brows together.

He bit his lip gently as he took a step forward, revealing what he carried in his arms. The jar of Hershey’s. 

“Uh, we, both won. They called a tie.” His eyes flickered between you and the floor. His nervous stature almost made you feel nervous as well. 

“Oh, um. Well, thanks for coming here to tell me that. That’s very sweet of you.” He shrugged as you pursed your lips shut in the slightly awkward silence.

“Yeah, no, no problem at all. I-I was going to ask you if you wanted to share them o-over a movie or some-something?” Peter’s eyes met yours and you shook your head lightly, thinking you misheard him. 

“What?”

Peter’s cheeks instantly flushed, thinking you had rejected the offer. He scratched the back of his neck as he stuttered out a response. “W-we don’t have to, I-I just thoug-”

“No!” You exclaimed, a bit louder than you intended which took Peter by surprise as you got up on your feet. “No, of course Peter! I-I’d love that.” 

Putting some hair behind your ear, Peter offered you a shy smile. “G-great! Um, I-I’m free whenever really.”

Your smile grew as you took a few steps closer to him, taking the jar as he held it out to you. “Honestly, I thought you’d be busy, you know, taking Liz out or something...”

I’m sick of the kissing cult

Peter raised his brows momentarily before shaking his head. “Nah, she made it pretty clear that she was off limits, actually.” You gave him a confused look as he continued. “After revealing the winner, I went up to her to accept the prize and as we were chatting, some dude came and kissed her, so...” He shrugged and broke your eye contact.

“Oh, Peter, I’m so sorry... Well at least you have me as a back up.” Bumping your elbow on his arm in a jokingly matter, he looked up at you smiling.

“You’re not a back-up plan, Y/N.”

At a temporary loss for words, you chuckled as your heart fluttered. 

“I, uh, it would an honor to accompany the two-times reigning master actually. Celebrate our victory.” A hint of red creeped its way up Peter’s neck.

As a grin made its way to your lips, you took a small step closer, now seeing the small details of his beautiful brown eyes. “Can’t wait.”

[halvatir]

ahhh sorry anon my sis deleted the original post by mistake??? thank gOD i had a backup on my drafts ;w;

it’s not silly at all, lol (°∀°)b don’t worry about it!

what it works like will definitely depend on what characterizations you have for both, but since you asked me, i’ll do a couple for you:

kRO / jRO-based (from nightmare mode profiles) they say that the jRO characterizations are based off the official kRO ones??? idk

we have: responsible A+ leader & desensitizing logic lady

more like struggling with desensitization, kathryne’s struggling with keeping a poker face + emotions in check and admittedly she isn’t doing a good job of it

she and seyren get along okay: he goes to her for advice in case margaretha’s not available, she relies on him a lot when things get tough bc adventurers man

sometimes when seyren goes to kathryne for advice things get a reversal: sometimes it’s him giving advice to her bc poor girl tries so hard to be so above it all when she’s honestly breaking inside and it doesn’t make her feel any better that she’s venting it out to someone it just makes her all the more frustrated at herself

no, it doesn’t help that the first time kathryne vented everything out to was to seyren bc he was somehow the person she was trying to be: composed and never failing

seyren honestly doesn’t understand kathryne’s frustrations completely, but he tells her truthfully that he doesn’t have the slightest clue on why she would try so hard to keep herself invulnerable - she may think differently, but to seyren emotions are not a sign of weakness but strength, no matter how ugly or beautiful a person driven by its influence would turn out

kathryne tells him it’s not that easy for her but seyren says that he + bio 3′s there for her and whatever she may be going through, he would be always a listening ear

he may not understand her completely, but it’s better than just bottling herself up - he even goes as far to say that perhaps the reason why kathryne struggles with her emotions is because she never bothered expressing them completely + she’s kept them away for so long that she never understood why she felt those emotions in the first place

she gets terribly salty at seyren for days but actually that proves seyren right, at first kathyrne’s so annoyed that he has the gall to say all that to her + acting so high and mighty like he understands her but over time she realizes that she’s being petty and well hot damn, does she feel sheepish about that

that argument resolved and put aside aside seyren takes this as a good opportunity to get to know her better, he was a bit unsure on how to approach her at first but now he sees that at least, kathryne wasn’t as desensitized as she would appear

seyren makes it a point to ask how she’s doing at least once a week and kathryne’s a bit miffed bc she feels like a child but honestly she does feel a little better when they have their talks

the ‘composed + never failing’ image that kathryne has of seyren eventually breaks, bc she realizes that during their talks, seyren is also overcome with emotions at times but he handles it differently, at least way differently from how she’d handle hers

they enjoy each other’s company at regular intervals and while they would usually talk about serious stuff they also enjoy playing a fair amount of board games

kathryne has a lead by a slight margin

the most cryptic words seyren ever said to her remain to puzzle her tho

an invulnerable human is already a vulnerability to itself.

fanart pt 1.

let’s face it folks, there’s not that much different interpretations of seyren outside of ‘prontera chivalry’s #1 most responsible + virtuous knight’ although there are variations the basis is still that lol

okay that aside we have: responsible A+ leader & token mini moe

uhh now how the fuck would this work

kathryne for someone actually strong + smart as balls is rather… uh… childish…

is that regression? eremes swears it is.

… u know what, this is hard let me think about it i don’t think my brain can properly register kathryne as a full-blown cheerful character

but hey at least u have a characterization now *spongebob voice* imagine

fanart pt 2.

remember what i said about the lack of different seyren interpretations well sputnik views him differently nice they also view howard differently and i love it so much i adapted it ahhh

so we have: genki lord knight + mellow high wizard

uhhh no probably not that genki more like upbeat??? idk just not super genki, just imagine seyren with a sense of humor + notably lighter disposition

they’re like… odd??? we have seyren here who does most of the talking and kathryne who’s just like… there. it looks like she’s just nodding repeatedly but she’s actually listening to every word he says

best thing of the day for seyren is if he actually gets kathryne to crack a smile like OHHHH ITS SMALL BUT HEY HEY LOOK I MADE HER SMILE/LAUGH COME ON U GUYS LOOK HERE SHE LOOKS NICE WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AND I DIDN’T GIVE HER A SLICE OF CAKE TO MAKE HER SMILE TAKE THAT LOSERS PAY UP

kathryne finds seyren funny and is actually wondering how talkative a human person can be as seyren talks to her - she finds him to be very passionate and encouraging even about the smallest and most ridiculous things, such as wondering about what if anopheles were actually shed off parts of metalings that come to life as angry buzzing motherfuckers

… say wut

seyren has no actual reason for talking to kathryne so often, he actually does that to everyone but he’d be lying if he wouldn’t say that one if his goals is to see kathryne smile more often

and u know, maybe make her talk too

on the rare times that seyren’s down, kathryne’s always the first one to approach him and holy shit she’s! talking! to! him!

she talks rather languidly but she’s kind when she speaks, and it’s visible in her face that she’s genuinely concerned about seyren - what does she do to cheer him up?

she brings up the topics that he was talking to her about

like

the most recent of them

yes she actually talks about the anopheles-as-metaling-sheddings theory

she gives him her opinion and seyren can barely register it bc he’s so touched??? like, when they engage in the one-sided talks he actually knows she’s listening but… wow??? she really listens up to the smallest detail???

he totally forgot that he brought up a what if the bio 2 was their future children theory lol wat are u thinking seyren kathryne reminds him

that really cheers up seyren a lot tbh and so talking about weird stuff to her is like a daily thing for him his topics get even weirder but kathryne still listens to him diligently

‘kathryne?’

‘…mm?’

‘thanks a lot.’

‘… no, thank you, seyren.’

she gives the nicest smile he’s ever seen on her face and seyren sees cloud 9 adios amigo odin have mercy on ur soul man

fanart pt 3.

the biolabs have tons of fanart + artists + interpretations okay

we have: drill sergeant nasty + genki high wizard

… genki kathryne holy shit let me lie down for a while i need to think

drill sergeant aka ‘lord knight seyren windsor has a stick up his ass and no fun is allowed 5ever’

… i still have no idea on how a genki kathryne would work but i’ll lean more on a genki = eccentric personality, something more of a closet troll / tease

‘keyron.’

‘yes, sir windsor?’

‘that smirk on your face is appalling. and if you are to address someone with a title, you are better off not doing so if you show not a single shred of respect.’

whoa take a chill pill man

‘oh, would you prefer a different demonstration of my respect for you, then? something physical? actions speak louder than words, don’t they?’

wELL that escalated quickly okay now this angle seems interesting

seyren despises her nature but admits her to be very respectable in battle, he laments that she would be very much tolerable if she were to act in accordance to her skill

kathryne generally doesn’t really care about what seyren thinks of her - wait, she doesn’t really find seyren interesting in particular tho

she just likes getting a rise out of people + seeing reactions is all, it’s like some game - cue joker-ish vibes

seyren totally gets it after watching her interact with the others and he’s like ‘i will not succumb to playing her silly games to appease her fancy’

but think: what if one day he actually does

oH

rly???

what if she subtly flirts with him for the lulz and he actually replies

not in his usual drill sergeant manner

not in a ‘okay fine whatevs lets play along’ manner

not in the obvious disinterest manner

it’s like his reply gives her the vibes of ‘i dare you to answer back, which, you probably can’t’

now suddenly kathryne finds him interesting

game’s on

oh wow i like this angle

other variations (which were at the top of my head sorry i can’t write them all lol)

stoic knight + stoic lady

drill sergeant nasty + shrinking violet

ax crazy + mellow wizard

responsible A+ leader + ax crazy

team dad +  desensitizing logic lady

knight in struggling chivalry + machiavellian lady

how i see it

we have: knight in struggling chivalry + pensive lady

they’re like equals n’ everything, they respect each other a lot and they see each other as reliable pillars of support

kathryne’s little on the words but that doesn’t bother seyren much - but when they actually do get to talking he really appreciates kathryne’s honesty and is very interested on how she sees things - bc face it man, logic is sometimes so illogical but she makes things so… logically simple.

how the hell does that work idk either

he’s not an idiot really but he just sometimes asks kathryne about random complicated stuff - he even asks her about how she’s able to conjure her spells once, and he listens to kathryne on the whole thing

she’s very impressed on how… logical seyren’s questions are (she’s not insulting seyren’s knowledge rly it’s just kathryne’s just… really well-read), especially concerning magic. even she has to ponder about some of his questions a bit, that’s why she finds talking to seyren a challenge. he sees things clearly for what they are without personal bias + judgement, which is like hard when magic’s the case

and even harder, supposedly, for someone like him who’s in the chivalry whose hearts are sworn to God / Odin

the q&a stuff’s bound to give someone a nosebleed but they’re really reasonable when they talk: they make sure to listen thoroughly before putting in their opinions and queries, like a really polite debate

when they do get to talking about sensitive stuff aka morals + faith + all that seyren’s built on, she can obviously see him struggling with himself and he even declares with a wry smile that he’s a hypocrite

what he does everyday to adventurers + corpses + his sword + his armor are a living testament of his failure + blasphemous actions - he even admits to kathryne that looking at them - she, margaretha, cecil, howard, eremes - furthermore twists the knife in his stomach

the guilt’s like the stench of blood he’s never going to get rid of from his hands + armor + pretty much his whole self

the nightmares are as often as the times he has to draw his sword in a day + as loud and piercing like the screams of the nth adventurer he’s slayed in the day

he’s a damned failure and he brought all of them down with him

it gets worse when he meets bio 4 bc they were sent shortly after seyren’s party went missing

it’s like to him, as a knight, a torture that is a hundred times worse than than death itself, what is the use of a knight who is unable to protect

listening to him talk that way’s really painful to hear, but what hurts kathryne the most is that she’s unable to properly console him

like

he’s right there

and for the life of her she can’t say anything

especially when he goes on about the part where he says that seeing his floormates is torture bc… seyren saw them that way…??? like… damn?

but honestly she knows that she can’t not bc she isn’t unable to understand / empathize, but bc she knows she will never know how much his faith + God + chivalry has influenced his growth and built him to be the man that he was before he became a rekenber victim

those three are probably the foundation of his very being and kathryne knows that she can’t have a full understanding of that bc her life didn’t revolve around those in the first place

their lives + principles are very different

but as much as they are different, that doesn’t mean she has to be indifferent to his struggles

she honestly admits all that to seyren, and the conclusion is that she may only know but never understand what he’s going through

but she will try the best as she can to offer the support she can provide, no matter how small it is, no matter if it helps or not

‘think of it as you will. you say it is the will and punishment of God… but somehow, take a little comfort in the fact that we are still here to support you - perhaps God has sought to give you a small blessing; a small sliver of hope… in His own way, no matter how cruel it may seem.’

‘after all… God works in mysterious ways, does He not?’

damn

angst amirite kick me i’m bad

idk what i’m doing anymore lol but thanks for the ask, hope you enjoyed reading this! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
