doomed yuri

You appeared

That was unexpected

It was a face I was sadly familiar with

Don't look at me

This is a curse

You swung the tail fin that shouldn't have been there

I remember the day we went swimming together

I felt like the sun was setting in the west

when I grabbed for your hand, it slipped from my hold

You sunk into the blue depths, when I looked away from your silhouette

It was all my responsibility

I won't complain even if I'm cursed, but

will doing this really be enough?

A siren is looking over here

Someday

when you return to being a drowned corpse

The picture we took together will get soaked

Don't Return to the Water Corpse (水死体にもどらないで) by iyowa

Reference:

I don't like this piece that much. I think it's one of my worst ones, but I like the song, and the first half of it is literally Ishqueg. Until it is revealed that the narrator hallucinated his deceased, drown girlfriend to be the Mermaid and then implied? to drown themselves to be with her. Which is...still a direction we can go for an Ishqueg bad end AU.

I just realised one other iyowa song is even more fitting for Ishqueg. It's already suitable for the canon timeline, but on the swap AU, it fits line for line. I can draw the cover, I guess, but I can also make an animatic?

Yeah. Listen to Angel Care by Iyowa because what.

“Thus, then, in our hearts’ honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg—a cosy, loving pair.”

[devilemon]

sometimes I think about how Ishmael and Queequeg are like my favorite fictional couple bc they capture a certain loving intimacy that goes past the standard romance

they're very gentle and adoring of one another in a way that's very obvious to the audience and it's clear that they're more than just 2 characters in a relationship

they're people who became friends, and those friends happened to love each other in a way that's heartachingly intense, to the point of quiet romance

like you can imagine how they'd act around one another based off of the flashbacks they got of eachother, and even despite all the years that went by, Ishmael treats Queequeg so delicately

bc she has the intimacy of knowing her

you don't need the kiss they were likely robbed of in Queequeg's last moments bc you know they love each other

you can tell that they spent time dreaming about their sailing boat

you can tell that they likely spent time softly talking before they fell asleep

you can tell that they adore each other bc they're people

Here then, from three impartial witnesses, I had a deliberate statement of the entire case. Considering, therefore, that squalls and capsizings in the water and consequent bivouacs on the deep were matters of common occurrence in this kind of life, considering that at the superlatively critical instant of going on to the whale I must resign my life into the hands of him who steered the boat — oftentimes a fellow who at that very moment is in his impetuousness upon the point of scuttling the craft with his own frantic stampings — considering that the particular disaster to our own particular boat was chiefly to be imputed to Starbuck's driving on to his whale almost in the teeth of a squall, and considering that Starbuck, notwithstanding, was famous for his great heedfulness in the fishery, considering that I belonged to this uncommonly prudent Starbuck's boat, and finally considering in what a devil's chase I was implicated, touching the White Whale taking all things together, I say, I thought I might as well go below and make a rough draft of my will. "Queequeg," said I, "come along, "shall be my lawyer. executor and legatee.

Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Other more talented artists have drawn the sleeping together scene, so I want to draw this instead. I think it is pretty funny. Unsure if it was supposed to tho.

[swokeeon]

yeah so um. i may be mentally ill

p.s. all of my ishqueg kissing sketches look literally the same I'M SO SORRY I DID ALL OF THEM AT 3 AM

[knoxise]
