#shane will be the death of me

[anarrrchia]

Posting some doodles to get out of my comfort zone

My insecurities always tell me that everything I post has to be perfect. The anatomy must be perfect, the lineart must be clean, the colors must be completely shaded and vibrant, and posting an unfinished sketch is a sin worse than murder. Only for me though, no one else. So I decided to just kinda rip the bandaid off and post some stuff I drew that wasn't intended to be posted online. Tumblr has been very comfy and safe for me, and I feel less anxious posting stuff on it, so maybe I won't regret this that much

My idea for what Shane was like when he first moved to the valley! headcanons / design explaination below.

CWS: death, selfharm, depression, suicidal ideation [stay safe]

his hair isn't too far off how i usually draw it [missing the shaved sides] because i think it'd be like a grown out buzzcut. After Jas' parent's die that's when he falls into depression and after only a few months he just buzzed it all off for easier matenance especially considering he now has to deal with Jas' kinkier hair and learn how to do that, he didn't have time for himself. After a couple months though, Marnie introduces him to Emily who starts cutting his hair every month or so, slowly making them friends.

i gave him really red and squinty eyes since while him being a stoner would be interesting i don't think he would for Jas' sake. I wanted to make him look just- so fucking tired and out of it and as if he very visably broke the fuck down 5 minutes before leaving the house and is practically snarling at anyone who gets to close incase they notice. another thing of note when it comes to his skin is the self harm scars, far from fresh but there, no longer caring enough to hide them, not from confidence but emptiness.

i didn't think too much on his clothes but in my head this is before he got a job at joja and i think that the tunnlers shirt would just cause a level of soreness since i think he and Jas' parents were presumbly gridball fans and rooting for the same team. i think it'd also draw more attention to him than he'd like. He's... okay with Jas getting attention, rumour spreads fast enough so people know not to ask and she deserves to be comfortable and cute, besides it's hard to find alternative baby rompers. If Shane wore the Tunnlers shirt then that gives people a leg up on one of his intrests and he can't risk making friends only to hurt them when he stops being around since he knows what that's like. I just gave him some vaguely punky clothes since that would at least scare off all the mother hens around town feeling sorry for him. His clothes don't fit as well anymore though, his shirt is riding up slightly exposing his tummy as a treat for me because since he stopped playing gridball and stopped taking care of himself he's started gaining weight.

As a final thing, he wears his friends' promise rings, they never had enough money or time to get married or even engaged for that matter before all that was left of them was their daughter, who seemed to always gravitate towards grabbing her parents' ring fingers, seeming to be intrigued by the texture difference. and while Shane knows logically thats all it was there's a part of him that wants her to have that constant, at least as a baby

For my fellow sensblrians who (like me) do not have a subscription to The Athletic, I sneakily illegally copy and pasted the entire article of Sandy and Pinner mentioned here and here. Anyway, I screenshot the whole thing from a doc I made. Enjoy <3

Oh, nothing, just thinking about Talon being the only one that can withstand Drina's temper tantrums without any negative feelings toward her and Drina hating her for it and wanting her to stay at the same time, but she knows it's inevitable that Talon will walk away someday because how could Talon want to stay with someone so toxic so she lashes out more to hide the hurt which makes Talon more determined to stay. Don't you see they're a cycle of toxicity. Don't you see. Don't you see how the cycle could have never ended without the Bile, and now Talon can't reconcile her feelings about the Bile because how could it be bad when it fixed her relationship to Drina by dampening her cruelty, yet every time she looks in the mirror she's forced to face the fact that the Bile has punished her. Yet at the same time, she's very, very wrong, because the Bile didn't fix Drina, it made her worse. Drina's cycle was destined to continue, around and around again and again, until the day she died. Don't you see. Don't you see how Drina's death wasn't just a tragedy, but a triumph in its own way. Don't you see how Drina could never return to the girl she was before she summoned her spirit animal in life, so Talon would have to reassure herself that she'd at least be that innocent girl again in death.

so i’ve been spending the last few days watching the entirety of puppet history and uh. guys why didn’t you tell me this is shane madej doing a one man horrible histories

[bayofwolves]

thinking about writing a little something in the original universe about abeke's adult life where she continues to deal with her grief over shane, who really did die in the burning tide. jumping around to different time periods: she's the new face of greencloak leadership, she's married (but her husband notably doesn't make an appearance), she has a daughter. her life is a dream. but with each of these milestones, she is reminded of shane. the person she might have had this life with if things had been different.

i don't usually like to delve into canon past the return because thinking about shane's death makes me feel sick to my stomach. but this is too good and beautiful and tragic of an idea to pass up.

[puppet-purgatory]

the reason i am so unwell about death & god (besides being a massive homosexual) is bc it’s a take on the cycle of life that i found fitting even before PH took on more complex emotional themes in S5. it Feels like a show that would tell you creation and destruction are inexorably linked; that the dinosaurs killed by the meteor would be succeeded by mammals, who would later diversify into all those empty niches; that the same fire that may ravage a grassland clears it for new growth. that history informs who we are now.

so to me it just Feels Right that they also know it and share a deep connection. ill will toward death for ‘taking’ things we love is by and large a mortal, human feeling, so someone who sees the bigger picture and understands it would certainly be appealing to him; on top of that, god is immortal and can’t be harmed in any way that matters, so proximity to Death isn’t a problem. I think he’s glad to have someone like that. And i think he marvels at and respects the way God can create life, a feat which isn’t possible for him.

Conversely, Death is, to God, someone whose presence is always welcome. Death never had any preconceived notions of who God was supposed to be, or what he acts like. He doesn’t have an idealized version of him in his head he’s been told exists, nor does he bother him over petty things. So God can be more open with him, since they operate on the same timeless wavelength. And while Death does admire him, it isn’t because of how he can benefit from their relationship, either materially or in terms of status. God isn’t a figure to him, but rather a person.

I simply think. that they complement each other in many ways. from spontaneous to systematic, pure chance to the inevitable. ever since i saw death sitting at god’s feet in the puzzle illustration i knew… they r in love and so uniquely fucked up. cosmic parallels with communication problems. thanks and goodnight💖👍🏻
