cuddly boys. sleepy boys.

fingon, who was left behind and abandonend by just about anyone in his family at some point, who died alone because maedhros did not return to him in time either. how many times can you be second choice no matter how little it is about you and not have that fester into bitter, bitter anger. how much worse does it get, at some point, that it isn't even about you but you simply matter less than whatever else was more important just then. how long can you cling to the rationale before you always see everyone with one foot already out of the door. how long can you keep loving and loving and loving despite,until there is nothing left to give. and then keep giving anyway because, after all, you know what it's like to be abandonend

going off the headcanon list i posted before, i wrote a lil something about arthur kissing charles' scar instead during their first kiss

“Charles,” Arthur says, eyes raking across Charles like he’s scared he’ll disappear if Arthur gets too close. Loves a little too hard because Arthur is a lot of things, but deserving of someone as good as Charles ain’t one of them. He’s terrified, and rightfully so.

But it still ain’t feel wrong.

None of it does. Not the way Arthur fits himself so perfectly into Charles’ space, noses brushing against each other, eyelids sliding close so they can get a feel for this newfound intimacy, lips a phantom of a feeling atop their heated skin, foreheads pressed and hands clutched in clothing. It doesn’t feel wrong for Arthur to catch a glimpse of Charles’ scar as he rubs their cheeks together, scratches his scruff againsts Charles’ as if he’s trying to strike a match, intense and burning the more he does it.

It doesn’t feel wrong as Arthur traces his lips over the streaking pattern of flesh, long time healed but never treated with such desire. Arthur skates his mouth down to the underside of Charles’ jaw, right where it begins, and places a searing kiss to the start of it, makes Charles tilt his head up in a gasp.

The hand screwed tight on Arthur’s back nearly rips a hole in his shirt. “Arthur—please.”

Arthur hums, takes his time in mapping out Charles scar. He uses his lips and kisses up the line until he reaches the end, licks at the uneven ridges of haphazardly mended flesh, tasting the sweat of the day and the chill of the nightair that lays over Charles like a sheet, makes him shiver in Arthur’s arms.

to be finished later this week, please stay tuned!

i'm being haunted by nightwing bruce

join me in my protective circle where we imagine a better world in which, given the event that someone has to temporarily take over for nightwing, it’s obviously tim drake in the suit.

beyond the fact that he has the skillset and a closer physique and that he’s not, to my knowledge, even up to anything right now, it would be so narratively satisfying! he was dick’s protégé! he’s currently trying to figure out his own identity and has always been both striving to be dick and also lurking in dick’s shadow! how would dick feel seeing tim put on another one of his suits and face down even more of his enemies! it would be such a good dynamic and heal so many wounds (including, on a meta level, offering the tiniest bit of redemption for dc doing ric grayson instead of putting tim in the suit the last time).

WIP Wednesday

thank you to @hircines-hunter and @miraakulous-cloud-district for the tags! 💖

even though I haven't been as productive as I'd have liked lately, progress is still progress! so, here's a snippet from the next chapter of i fear no fate (for you are my fate), ft. a little trip down memory lane:

Lucien loves Elentari, Miraak realises in wonder, like a brother. And Miraak… He doesn’t let himself think of Vahlok. He doesn’t let himself think of the weight a name carries when it is whispered under the veil of darkness (“My name was—is—Mímir.” Silence, heart-pounding silence for much too long to hold a breath, and then, “Ásmundr. Mine’s Ásmundr.”). Nor does he let himself think of stolen moments spent sharing stories of lives before, one always a son and the other always a slave (“Born for the gods, they call children like me, and of course, we all know which gods they mean.” “Let me tell you about my mother, then, if you don’t have one of your own. Her name is Eivor, and if you ever heard her sing…”). He especially doesn’t let himself think of the word brother itself, or of how it can be strung into the shape of both a promise to be broken and a plea to go unanswered— (“Vahlok! Nid, zeymahi, kir—” Afterwards, Miraak will struggle to remember exactly when he’d cried out to the golden-masked figure looming over him; he will not be able to recall whether it had been as the sword’s downward swing flashed silver-sharp in the dead of the moonless night, or whether it had been as the ink surged up beneath him, in his mouth, in his nose, over his head. And soon enough, history will struggle to remember him, too, and he will pass into legend as little more than a traitorous footnote in another’s story.) No, he doesn’t let himself think of any of it.

and, because I'm slowly but surely trying to gather some ✨art mojo✨, here's an updated WIP of Elentari and Miraak as "The Kiss", now with (almost) finished lineart for Ellie:

Just you and me and the city of dreams - part two!

A few more shots from this set ~

I loved these three as well, but I also wanted to keep the original post a bit smaller and more intimate, hence splitting this up in two!

Also using the opportunity to gush a little bit about the little things here ;__;

First of all, I love that CDPR gave all their male characters such nice, defined, long eyelashes, 'cause, hell yeah <3 I feel like, in some games I played in the past, eyelashes seemed to be for women only, and I know many find the CC lacking in comparison to what was teased and promised, but in this (and a few other regards) I like it a lot. Plus male NPCs with pretty eyelashes <3

Secondly, this was my first shoot I did with Kerry's updated 2.0 model and man ;__; This is super weird and random, but I'm so happy he has proper fingernails now XD Like, actual 3D nails that can be colored etc etc (and I know I couldve just added them manually in the past, but y'know....). With how huge PL turned out to be, with how much they improved and changed and added, it's the small things like this that really really do it for me cause... yeah. Dogtown is epic and amazing, the story is so good, but also, they didn't forget about lil old Kerry and gave him (and in return the people that love him) a lil love and care, too. That is so, so nice and makes me love the people behind all this even more.

Thank you for the tag @bookish-bogwitch & @ic3-que3n!

Good news! I finally designed my Christmas card! Bad news is I now have to carve it 😩 I’ve been block printing my family’s Christmas card for the last 7 years because I’ve become more sentimental about the holidays since becoming a parent and I can’t stop myself from being so goddamn extra. I even go so far at to mark the edition of my print run. A few of my friends and family get really excited for them and I like the idea that my loved ones receive a piece of my art every year. Designing it in procreate instead of layers of tracing paper was such a game changer! So, this is the finalized design:

Snickerdoodles are the first cookie we make during the Christmas season since I have all of the ingredients already in my pantry and it's super quick and easy.

I’m only doing a 2 layer reduction print because I really don’t have time this year.

I just finished my first test print:

Hopefully, I can knock these out by the end of the week and I can get back to COC! 🤞🤞🤞

Gee, Peppibot Factory sure looks different today.

With the one Pizza Tower title card meme making the rounds lately, I figured I'd join in on the fun with my own contribution starring none other than the super fighting robot, Mega Man! This might just be my biggest sprite piece yet this year, and I am BEYOND thrilled that I was able to pull this off! 💙✨

(I highly recommend opening this image in a new tab for closer viewing if you want a better look at the little details!)

first day of grad school classes is tomorrow so if y’all don’t see me for a couple of days, assume I’ve melted into a puddle of anxiety and a truly overwhelming amount of assigned readings

FINAL RESULTS - NINJA WARRIOR

Well that was a thing that happened. An interesting change of pace with the heat style but ultimately I don't know if we'll do that again.

At any rate, quite a competition. And here's your podium. In third place....

🥉Birnok!

Second place goes to....

🥈Cassian Andor!!

And winning her THIRD first-place trophy, the people's undisputed queen...

🥇🏆Cinta Kaz!!!

She looks real happy to keep winning, huh?

Will she prevail in the next contest? Who can say? All I can say is that it will start soon and it will be an incredible test of our cast’s skill and will. An honorable contest in an age-old realm of battle.

That's right. It's MARIO KART TIME!!!

[xycuro-illuminati]

See with Zdarsky's run it was so unbearable and awful and sucked ass but there were other dd runs going on like Daredevil & Echo. Not only that, Ahmed is trying his best to work with this shit with the fault legit being having to continue off of zdarsky, boring, and the cane depiction. I was v close to just dropping dd but I'm willing to give the new run a chance. I have a stronger attachment to dd and it's characters other than matt so maybe that's why but I was close to going full dc and dmc. Plus Zdarsky's run (at least on tumblr) had a majority poor reception anyway. I'm down to ignore it and move on.

Mckay with Moon Knight?? Absolutely not. The mk system is DEAD (as far as we know) and now it's just continuing off while also grabbing niche hero characters and writing them in xenophobic and ableist ways. Reading a few panels alone has me so uninterested esp when I mostly enjoyed the original mk comics. MK was a second fav but now I'm just dropping it completely and not looking forward to read another run again nor engage in any mk media. It's just a headache to think about at this point.
