#so i'm sorry if it's a little messy

[perryelornitorrinco]

I realized that no one has ever asked a Rulie doodle request if I remember well, and felt quite bad for the poor guy. Look at him, he's begging you to make him do something silly on a drawing

trying out a new brush to trick myself into thinking that sketching messy and then leaving it messy is allowed (lost skill in my life sadly). pardon my indulgence in tired old reasonable girl + fail guy humor but i think it's so funny when lenalee treats kanda like he's her emotional support animal who she's still trying to train not to bark at people in the grocery store

i love your work!! could i get kaiser + purple for the drabbles? :>

hiiii thank you so much, you're very sweet! and yes of course! kaiser is so slippery to write but i love him.

minors and ageless blogs dni.

vague references to child abuse in this!

event closed!

the pain is a starburst thing.

it explodes into being, a dying star collapsing in on itself as kaiser hits the turf. his vision blackens for a heartbeat, but the roar of the stands—a swelling tide that washes over him—tells him everything he needs to know.

it's a goal.

he blinks away the pain and swats away ness' hand, pushing himself off the ground. he takes care not to stagger, not to show any sign of the pain still radiating through him.

it's not the worst he's had, after all.

"kaiser, are you okay?" ness bleats.

kaiser ignores him, raising his fist in the air. the crowd roars again, delighting in his display. the clock has run out; it's the final goal of the game.

and it's his.

ness says something else, but he doesn't pay attention to him. he makes his way to the sidelines, his heart pumping, his body aching.

noa falls in next to him. "go see the medic," he says, cold and clinical.

"i don't fucking need to."

"it's not a suggestion."

kaiser scoffs, but he knows the glint in noa's eyes. noa's pulled him from practice before; he'll do it again.

he curses under his breath as he heads into the locker room. ness trails behind him, and kaiser hates the way he's watching him. he keeps his head high despite the pain still radiating through him.

when he finally makes his way to the medic, he almost groans.

of course it's you.

you look up from the paperwork you've been pouring over; a sweet smile rises to your lips. it fades away in seconds, a star under dawn's encroaching light.

"what happened?" you ask, standing up quickly. you reach out for him. he dodges it gracefully, ignoring the purse of your lips, a closed flower bud.

at least you don't try again. instead, you gesture him into a chair. kaiser bites down on the grimace as he sits, pain spiking through him.

"did you hit your head?" you ask.

"just clear me," he bites out.

"i will," you say. "if you're ready to be cleared."

he rolls his eyes. "i'm fucking fine."

you raise an eyebrow. "that's for me to decide. i'm going to touch you now, okay?"

"just get it over with."

you reach out. your fingers are blazing against his still-cooling skin. he almost shudders.

your touch is careful. sweet, almost. you murmur questions to him; he lies his way through the answers without thinking, hypnotized by the feeling of your fingers on him so gently. he can't remember the last time someone touched him like this.

kaiser grits his teeth. you're always like this. pretending to care, as if it's not your job.

"you're bruising already," you murmur, almost to yourself. you brush against a particularly painful spot; kaiser imagines it's already a deep purple, like the skin of a plum.

"can you fucking clear me now?"

you sigh, pulling back and settling in your own chair again.

kaiser misses the heat of you instantly. he breathes in through his nose, his fingers flexing.

"i'll clear you," you say. "but you have to take it easy for a few days, just in case."

he sneers.

you point your pen at him. "i mean it, kaiser."

"whatever."

you sigh. "take care of yourself, kaiser," you say softly. "please."

he can't stand the look on your face, the sincerity blooming like a rose. he pushes to his feet without a word. you don't try to stop him.

he thinks about the gentle brush of your fingers the whole way home.

Hello

I'm trying to make a catalog of whatever not art school related work I have the time to do, and as I have a bit of a twst obsession this is probably gonna be mostly about this perfect wonderful game for the foreseeable future I'll post whatever I have on hand, messy and quick doodles -like this one- or actual illustrations and designs I put effort in (I'm partly doing this to force myself to look the stuff I'm not satisfied with in the eyes and resist the urge to throw it away) ANYWAY I originally made this thing because I wanted to best communicate my opinion in a "twst alcohol hc" poll post, but recycling's good for the worms so here it is See, my enlightened vision is that as much as Lilia can daintily swing a sparkling fairy wine flute, I headcanon him to chug down ginormous mugs of gnome mead bigger than his head Like, in my mind, during Malleus's post-hatching childhood he spent way too many nights hanging out in burrow pubs with the smaller/wilder kinds of nocturnal faes to gossip with bog hags, get shitfaced with or without a goblin party, or if tipsy enough to butt heads with grouchy reactionaries (I picture this gnome to not have politically correct views on the peace treaty)

I zoomed in on the pixies because. Because I like pixies.

I also like this guy, he's probably stationed as a guard but he'd have made a good foot soldier

horrible timing for a post like this i know

*puts Noise into your Geo*

More sketches with that one conceptual form I keep talking about periodically. I was thinking about how it'd be like if I threw some Noise into that mix, so yay even more distortion or something. I also wanted to see Geo actually emoting (with those scary-cool eyes) while in Black Ace Noise Change.

And duh of course he can, it honestly looks real scary-cool when he doesn't y'know.

very quick doodle based on a scene from "misanthropic" by @godzillabreath

it's a very fun and well-written character study. go check it out !!

You and Steve ever go storm chasing?

Soda sat down on his stool with a big sigh. He was exhausted, and the day had only just started.

Thankfully for him though, he had some stuff to wake him up — such as thinking up a reply for this note.

Storm chasing?

OH, you mean like racing the storms and following after them? Hell-fuckin'-yeah, we have!

Soda looked outside the window to stare at the truck that occupied a sleeping Steve. He smiled, and got back to writing.

Most people hate storms, I do myself! But, hehe, when it's me n' Steve caught in the middle of a big thunderstorm, either hunkered down in a busted up car or straight in the middle of the fields...

I'm just about ready for anything at that point. Let the storm take me on, y'know?!

It's a real big adrenaline chase everytime because we love to run head first into a good storm. Whether we're driving or we're running, it's just... so fun.

Darry gets real tired of it 'cus he hates the idea of us gettin' hurt or sick, and sometimes we do get sick, but– it's fun!!! And it's so worth the sniffles and cold the day after!!!

Hi, I’m new in this tag kinda and new to meta-writing overall, but not only is the August brain rot really strong but one particular part of his entire character has been on my mind for a whole weekend. Please take this as mostly an offering of very spilled thoughts cause I couldn't keep them to myself anymore, LMAO. Particularly the thing that's on my brain is his guilt

I would also like to make note of and thank @ lizardthelizard And her glorious set of tags here for setting off my spiral tonight and also when she first sent them because my goodness this is truly an eye-opener. Thank you, buddy 💖

Gosh though, August’s guilt and self-criticism of himself and his actions is something that really fascinates me personally, and just thinking of it being the cause of what turns him back to wood is both mind-blowing but it just makes so much sense. He may be real because of magic but who’s to say it’s just the magical conditions that are holding him back and not the high as heck expectations that he feels were set for him and he set up for himself.

When it feels like you can't mess up sometimes it can feel like you're stuck in place Or that your screw ups means you can't change, that you're not good, that maybe you don't deserve to be considered good and that your various flaws are all that others would see you FOR!!

Maybe it's different to anxiety but idk it’s what caught my attention about him even more than what his character already offered up in s1!

He was given this like 

Idea that he needs to be "Brave" and "Truthful" and "Selfless" all the time or else he cannot be human 

Does it work like that? no, there's no human on EARTH that's all three of those things all the time, we've all had moments of weakness and gave in 

But what does he know? Most of his life he spent on his own and as a puppet, he was expected to understand the ways of being a human and GOODNESS knows how short a time he was with his dad before he was THRUST into a world and forced once again to stand on his own two feet and expected to just, you know, know how to act once again 

He's followed by expectations that he finds himself struggling to meet because he doesn't know what the limit is or how to meet them, and sometimes if not all of the times the temptations are just better and easier 

And it's expected!!!

He stepped into TLWM as a child with no idea of what he’s getting into with no prior knowledge, no adult, no nothing.

But omg, he drags himself down so much about it because he can’t meet those expectations the way he would want to and because of that because literally who did he have to tell him that it's all okay? That you can make mistakes and move on from them? That you can make up for your mistakes and forgive yourself for them?

Did he have anyone at all? Cause The show sure didn't show him having anyone

We see one woman in Thailand but even after he discovers he's turning into wood she's no longer around, so like she's probably about as fleeting of a relationship as anything else

Imagine going 28 years at first ignoring all your problems and then the horror and thoughts that you’re not good enough catch up to you one morning and the more you see yourself a failure, the more you sink into that spiral the harder it feels to breathe.

y'all can all cancel me (again) for this, but if there's even a SHRED of 'who should I pick?' from Penelope in season 3, I am tuning out SO fast because like. . .sorry not sorry, there IS no choice. Debling is some crusty OC suitor she barely even knows and Colin is a man who she has been so supposedly in love with to the point where she'd ruin her entire family's reputation to have a potential love story with him. Penelope and Colin have background, years of knowing each other, intimacy that few people in the Ton can boast of having (letters, conversations about purpose, fights and arguments and makeups) and her and Debling have. . .a dance or two at a ball because he's a rebound for Penelope's broken heart. he means nothing. he has no nuance, he has no weight to the story, he is such an afterthought to me. either I wanna see Penelope going 'you know what? I don't even LIKE this dude. he's. . .fine, but I don't care about him even a shred as much as I care about Colin' or the INSTANT Colin's like 'you know what? we should get married' if it's not an immediate 'say less, you're already my husband, try returning me without the receipt, Debling whomst?' then I don't want it!

like. . .it's just so frustrating to see all the 'I hope Debling sweeps her off her feet and she rejects Colin's proposal and she makes him work for it and and and-' nonsense from the fandom and it's always tagged and no matter how many times I block it, it just keeps popping up. I go into the Polin tag for POLIN. I don't give a SHIT about a male love interest other than Colin. Not one. Not a shred. Not an iota.

and also. . .Debling has the 'benefit' of not having depth, or character traits, or HISTORY, so peeps can project onto him however they want, but I'm calling it now, there is NOTHING he could do or be that would make me like him more than Colin. Colin will always hit different, and I will always love him more. and if Pen's not on that same page? lol bye

you want me to believe Penelope and Colin are soulmates and it's romance for her to hem and haw about how difficult a decision it is for her to marry a stranger who knows barely anything about her. . .

when Marina was out here dropping banger lines like 'You were the only man with which I could see myself being happy' and 'I do not care about any of these men, where is Colin?'? like hello??? and she wasn't even fully in love with him!!!! but we'll demonize her until the cows come home in our fandom and make her the villain in Polin's love story for DARING to get in between Polin, yet Debling, a white man, is a darling dear perfect prince for getting in between Polin? existing in our fandom solely so Penelope can be like 'lol, Colin ain't shit, let me entertain any and everyone else'?

if that's the direction it goes then, ten toes down and on my mama, she doesn't deserve Colin and she can move because I'm on my way to court him my damn self

and that's that on that
