Hey @vargatheapprentice, Merry Birthday!!✨

I guess Obayana's first instinct was to save the food from that crazy gust of wind, and I think that's admirable.

Oof. Finally got another set of lovelies down! I’m kind of obsessed with this okami style. Trying to draw some of my fave apprentices, still got a few to go! (I took a little artistic liberty with their outfits, hope y’all don’t mind too much~)

As I was re-arranging my arts for 2020 to fit this template… I realized there were several “good” months, and then several. More than several months of emptiness. So I replaced them with overflowing creativity from the good months instead of leaving it empty~ And I’m happy with it! ✨ That’s okay. It’s been a heck of a year. It’s okay. 2021 will come. It will be another, hopeful, beginning.

I didn’t realize I only came up with Khayalan’s sprite design in January… it feels like I’ve been in love with him forever xD Thank you for always being with me - Sketchy, Agent, Lazy, for inspiring me, for encouraging me, for … everything. For… being my friend. For making life bearable, and for quality-of-life improvement tips, and self-care and puns. There’s obviously more but well. You know what I mean. xD Looking back on the art and remembering the process behind each of it… and the empty months and months… and you guys were with me, through it all. All the way through every step of 2020. Thank you for making every tomorrow a new day to look forward to.

Doodled the boys on my thanksgiving prep break! ✨

Illain has no idea this was meant to be a date, Obayana is too shy to tell him- this is not the first or last time this will happen.

Little Things

Obayana/Illain drabble. Illain belongs to the lovely @lazyvoyager !

Obayana hadn’t noticed it start to happen. It was so smooth, so effortless. A nagging little bubble of warmth whenever the sun shimmered on marigold hair, a tightening in his chest at the sound of his laughter.

His feelings had grown for Illain before he’d had a chance to realize them. His own heart snuck up on his mind, skipping a beat at the sound of his voice before he knew the meaning. His eyes found constellations in the space between freckles and divot that appeared on his brow when he concentrated. Everything seemed to brighten in his presence- even the dullest greys growing more vibrant.

Soon all of Obayana’s daydreams included Illain. His kind companionship seemed a constant- Obayana could no longer imagine a place he wanted to be without him in it.

It was on one of their quiet afternoon hikes that the truth hit Obayana, the weight of it slamming into his chest like a bag of brick.

He’d always stuck to the easier trails when Illain tagged along- forgoing physical exertion in favor of watching enthusiasm light up golden eyes. It was spring, and mountain flowers were popping cheerfully through the pine needle bed where they’d slumbered for winter. Illain had disappeared further down the trail, ducking underneath sloping branches. Moments later, he reappeared laughing, one hand full of wild daffodils, the emerald dappled light painting patterns on his fair skin.

Obayana felt his face go several shades of red, his chest tighten. The realization knocked the air out of his lungs.

He was in love.

He would have told him then and there, had he been able to form the words. His tongue seemed to forget how to function, and instead his voice stuttered until he slammed his jaw shut. He’d never been good with words. He certainly wouldn’t be any better now, as Illain stood before him, looking more beautiful than any person, creature, or thing he’d ever seen.

As the weeks passed, he found it was the quiet moments alone, doing mundane things, that he loved the most. He loved the way Illain tucked his hair behind his ear when he was reading, the quick upward twitch of his eyelids when surprised. He especially loved the soft sound of his breathing as he fell asleep curled up against the bakery wall, while Obayana kneaded dough in the early mornings. He’d put an extra batch of pumpkin bread put aside for when Illain inevitably napped through the opening hours, smiling as his cat wound her way around his love’s sleeping form.

Illain’s kindness seemed to fill in the empty places of his heart, ones he didn’t even know existed.

He would tell him, eventually. He would tell him of the love that unfolded like the petals of unending flowers, deepening each day in his heart until he felt it would burst. He would find the words, someday, to explain that the only thing he was certain of, was that he wanted to be beside him as his hair greyed and his skin wrinkled. That he wanted to sleep with him tucked under his arm every night, listening to his steady breathing as the stars came and went.

Maybe someday Obayana would find his voice and tell him of his melting heart, but for now he would just keep memorizing all the little things.

Is Illain romantic at all? Like will he set up (or try to) special dates for his love interests?

Hm🤔. Honestly not his strength. He's more the type to enjoy spending regular day to day time with someone, but I think he'd also like to bring them places that they enjoy. I imagine he be more of a casual date kind of guy. Probably a picnic every once in a while on nice days~

[lazyvoyager]

A fun picnic for @vargatheapprentice's Obayana and Illain to enjoy together~💕

[vargatheapprentice]

Who're your top five favorite apprentices? And do you ship any of them with your apprentices? Except Val and Illain, oc, we all know how you feel about them! 💗

Oh fuck, anon, you’re working my “love everyone” brain muscles. You got me on @agent-darkbootie Val and @lazyvoyager Illain though, two of my favorite people in the fandom and ALSO two of my favorite apprentices~❤️

I’ve actually answered similar questions in the past, so I’m trying to not tag the same people because let me tell you, I scream over so many apprentices it’s ridiculous. I am in a constant state of screaming. I couldn’t pick just 5 so here’s 10 instead!! 💖

@weenie-the-beans Thaeren (thaeren is so cuuute 😭💖 I wanna pet that hair okay)

@jyiori Ayda (EXCUSE ME 😭💖hello?? 911?? I need to report a stolen heart??)

@pocus-apprentice Moth (I would let Moth murder me ok)

@mountain-man-cumeth Karayan (who I mainly love to be mean to💖Kara is great)

@bastart13 Isha (omg 😭💖)

@punky-peach Marin (forever screaming she’s so cute I wanna boop her nose *sob*)

@aaliyah-draws Valarie (who doesn’t love Valarie???)

@cardboxman Mel (I WOULD DIE FOR MEL???)

@kirakirapotatoe Merilyn (AAA?????)

@armallo Roul (I LOVE HIM AND I DO YELL ABOUT IT CONSTANTLY)

As for shipping: I actually don’t ship people’s characters with mine unless I have explicit permission to!! “Everyone can ship” posts make me nervous. I am really uncomfortable shipping unless I know for sure the person the character belongs to is okay with it, and tells me directly. I DO love shipping my characters with others, and all of them are multiship- So if anyone reading these has a deep burning desire to ship their characters with mine TELL ME PLEASE AND I WILL JOIN IN!!! I WILL YELL!!! I WILL BE VERY EXCITED SO DO NOT BE SHY!!!! IT WILL MAKE MY WHOLE WEEK!!!!

The only character outside of Illain and Val that is currently being shipped with one of mine is Roul! (Which of course is also an Obayana ship because EVERYONE seems to love my baker. 💖)

Especially if you ship either Varga or Aurelia please tell me because I will die

[vargatheapprentice]

Absolutely no one asked for an Obayana babylain but I did it anyway

@lazyvoyager meet Waverly! ✨

[vargatheapprentice]

Doing some very fast and very lazy doodles for this ship because I can 🚢❤️

Obayana doesn’t smile much but I don’t think he’d be able to help it around Illain, a literal ball of sunshine and perfection.

The lovely Illain belongs to @lazyvoyager who’s an even bigger ball of sunshine and perfection- and one of my favorite people ever.💖💕

Why is Obayana so tall lmao I shouldn’t have made him 6’5, this is ridiculous

[vargatheapprentice]

“I think I’ll keep you.”

[vargatheapprentice]

Happy birthday to the cutest apprentice ever! Obayana comes bearing gifts. 💖🎂✨🎁🎉🎉🎈🎊

Happy Birthday orange boy!!✨🧡🎉

[vargatheapprentice]

12 and 22, please!

12 and 22 for the boys! Thanks for sending in a second ask clarifying, anon~

12. Is there anyone right now they’d want to have sex with?

Arcana world, Varga’s always down to fool around with Asra. Obayana’s lusting over Julian.

Outside of Arcana canon, Varga has exactly zero ships currently going. He would not say no to anyone wanting to top him though, so if that’s your apprentice, have at it.

Obayana on the other hand... it’s @agent-darkbootie’s Val, @lazyvoyager’s Illain, @armallo’s Roul, and (he regrettably admits) @mountain-man-cumeth’s Karayan.

22. Do they/would they use toys?

ABSOLUTELY.

Varga is big into penetration and vibrators. He’s got a high sex drive, so he’s got a collection and they’re used often. He’s a disaster.

Obayana’s on the other hand consist of a multitude of cock rings and things to use on his partner- he’s more interesting in making whoever he’s with fall apart than using them on himself, so any he owns would be more aimed toward that goal.

[agent-darkbootie]

So how many apprentices have joined the mob for Val and the twins? Lol

So far we’ve recruited Val’s personal Body guard Obayana ( @vargatheapprentice), The twin’s body guard + hitman Roul ( @armallo), Global Trade Ambassador Nathaniel Norwood ( @helianthusmage), Assassin and Explosives Expert Errol ( @3rrol), aaand undetermined role Lilith ( @all-down-hill-from-here).

And then of course we have @lazyvoyager‘s friendly rival gang to The Sepulvedas, kingpin Asra with his hubby Illain, and their master manipulator, suavecito Lucky.
