✨Aziraphale art studies✨

[fonulyn]

Ohhh both those prompt lists you reblogged sound so good I had such trouble picking just one fjdska :'^) But, maybe for my beloved Nivannedy brainrot, I could ask for the Sleepy prompts 41, "Sleep. I'll keep you safe." :3c?

(for these!)

-

"How fucking long will it take for them to get here?" Piers asked, but despite his tangible frustration his voice was just tired, filled with the kind of exhaustion that he couldn't even begin to try to hide. His cheeks were burning up, his eyes glassy with the fever, and he hadn't been able to properly walk for hours now.

That was why they'd holed up in the safest place they'd come up with, Leon barricading the door after them, hoping with all his might nothing bigger was out there to attack them. It would hold lickers and run-of-the-mill zombies but if a very determined tyrant appeared from somewhere then it wouldn't be much of a hindrance.

"I wish I knew," Leon said, checking his gun. Three bullets. Fucking fantastic. Maybe Piers still had a few in his rifle but he was in no shape to actually use it. Guilt immediately washed through Leon. If he hadn't asked for backup, Piers wouldn't have been here, and his leg wouldn't look like fucking minced meat.

Piers inhaled sharply, leaning back against the wall. There wasn't much in the room except a couple of desks, nothing comfortable, not even a single pillow or something to make Piers feel a little better. Their last first aid spray had been used hours ago, so there was literally nothing except hope and good wishes.

"You should rest," Leon said, hating how his voice sounded. He was going to cry any second, and he couldn't, he wouldn't, he didn't have that luxury when Piers was the one nearly bleeding right next to him. If Leon knew anything about injuries he wasn't going to die from it but he might end up losing the leg.

"You need help," Piers argued. Yet when Leon sat down next to him, he let his head fall against Leon's shoulder, his eyes already closed. "You could just leave me here," he said, slurring his words a little. "Go find help. Get to safety."

"Bold of you to assume I'd ever leave you," Leon scoffed. "For better and for worse, right?" He slipped an arm around Piers, hugging him against his side. "Sleep. I'll keep you safe."

Piers made a sleepy sound. "Will you still love me when I'm one-legged, too?"

Leon was pretty sure it was a shitty attempt at a joke. He wasn't laughing, though. Instead he buried his face into Piers' hair, closing his eyes for a second. "Nothing in this world can stop me from loving you," he whispered, as if it was a secret, as if there was anyone there to hear them.

Next to him, Piers had slipped unconscious.

Leon stayed awake, counting seconds until help arrived.

Sebastian Michaelis for the 'break a character down' ask game 🍴😈

Oooo, unexpected but exciting! Thank you for the ask~ <3

✦˚₊‧⁺˖ Sebastian Michaelis ˖⁺‧₊˚✦

How I feel about this character

I love this smug, workaholic, one hell of a butler~ He's powerful but not undefeatable, so there are stakes, and his character development between being summoned and the school arc (I stopped reading right around the whole popstars thing, but want to get back into it eventually) is great. It feels earned and natural and the way his relationship with Ciel has grown makes me flail a bit.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Romantically, I must say I'm a SebaCiel shipper. I think Sebastian would have sex with other characters for a variety of reasons (like he did with Beast, if I remember that correctly...) but not necessarily attach any romantic emotions to the act. But when it comes to affection and intimacy, it's gotta be Ciel.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

I might be misinterpreting this, but I'm taking it to mean a "best bros" sort of relationship, which means Agni. Insofar as Sebastian respects anyone, I think he respects Agni (professionally and personally, to a degree).

My unpopular opinion about this character

Ooo... do I have any Sebastian hot takes? I'm not as involved in the Kuro fandom to know what's en vogue. I'm not a big fan of the first two seasons of the anime -- full-stop, but also for what they did to Sebastian's character. He's much more one-dimensional than I find him to be in the manga, where he can be very funny and goofy and still serious and cool. And while I think I'd enjoy watching the more recent anime season(s) more than the originals, I do miss his ikemen style appearance. He suits the sharper features, imho.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I doubt it'd ever happen, but I hope there's a kiss between Sebastian and Ciel at some point. (But at the same time I don't? I don't need it to happen to validate my ship or make it canon, it'd be more for the visuals :3 ) Maybe they can slip it in by having Sebastian have to mouth-feed Ciel an antidote, or that's how he steals Ciel's soul or something. I have faith that if any mangaka could find a way to include a joke-y kiss between their two protags, Yana Toboso would.

[xhfics]

oh! i have a question not related to a specific story of yours, but still ☺️

is there a song that you associate or that reminds you of a particular fic that you’ve written? (could be a wip too though) 🫶🏼

Okay I really love this question so it took me some time to really think about it~

For the most part I chose the songs based on the melody and vibes I get from the song, some lyrics could fit but not always 🤭

French Kiss: Oneus - I Know You Know

Honeybee: Oneus - Connect With US

Help yourself: Xdinary Heroes - Feeling Nice

Perfect Stranger: Shawn Mendes - I Don't Even Know Your Name

And for a WIP: Betty Who - Human Touch

OC tagging game!

okay so i got tagged by @sibillascribbles08 to share with people things about ocs

Da Rules (Copy and pate 'em!)

You and hopefully one of your OCs have been tagged! Your job is to make a post about them, and it can be whatever you want! Talk about general information, their backstory, their design inspiration, post some sketches or older art, write up a few fun facts, as long as it's something!

When you're done, be sure to pass it along by tagging at least one other person and their OC (you can tag as many people as you want though!) Tag backs are allowed and encouraged.

When you tag someone, try to specify an OC, even if you don't know who they are yet (i.e. "You should do that OC with the butterfly wings you posted the other day!" or "Do the OC you drew most recently!")

Participation is not required, but even if you don't want to, it'd be great to pass the tag along to someone else!

So i was tagged to talk about Wong Xiuying

so With Xiuying there are a bunch of things i'm going back and forth with. On one level i know for certain that she was the only one in the family that would let her little brother be as weird as he damn well pleased (bc his parents were those 'Autism can be fixed' types) But how FAR that goes can vary by the day, going from the kosher 'she'd regularly beat up his bullies for him' all the way to 'maybe murdered their abusive mother when she was a teenager after one too many times of tying her brother's wrist down to his side so he couldn't stim' and i'm never sure how far to go with it

but basically when her brother comes home full spider-mutant and unwilling to actually leave the people that did this to him she's getting desensitized to all of this punchclock supervillain stuff QUICK.

she doesn't PARTICIPATE, but she will patch all these idiots up after foiled evil schemes. (though she WILL be rougher with his 'work friends' cuz just because she's accepting that he's decided to stick with them doesn't mean she's forgiven any of them for what they did to her brother)

I'll tag uhhhhh @twinklecupcake and ask that she speak on Bell or Chenguang bc we love those cute lil ship kids

@sibillascribbles08 right back: tell us the forbidden Holly Blue lore!

@shepherd-to-the-stars tell everyone about that new oc you know the one~

Aaannnndd @unseelie-robynx Tell the world of Our Girl Lost Princess!

Character Arc Quiz

romance/friendship arc

your story had a pretty rough start and you did some things you’re not proud of, but you made the choice to change. i won’t go through how important it is to accept responsibility and keep striving to improve or whatever because you know that already. what i think you should know is that your fuel does not need to be shame. you don’t need to stand over the bathroom sink with your blood in your hands until you can no longer make out your reflection. you will look at your face and you will see the person you used to be, but that person no longer exists. today, you are looking, and that makes all the difference.

MUSE PROFILE      

Tagging: @perceiivent / @sinshosted [do it for one or all of them darlin dear, your choice!]; you! i tag you who read this! Tagged: @ubcs || thankee darlin ~<3

Real Name: The Wolf, or simply Wulf. Her True name was purposefully ‘forgotten’ when Boris adopted her into the lifestyle.

Single or Taken: Single by default. Relationship verse-pending.

Abilities or Powers: Hyper-vigilance || Resilience/agility granted by radiation mutation, as well as hearing her Zone speak to her, understanding Castles, and knowing where anomalies and artifacts are by ‘hearing’ their atmospheric pressure || Schwarzwald-centric regeneration - The ability to be revived from the dead only in her native Zone, she dies outside the Zone she dies for good, and she cannot be away from Schwarzwald’s influence longer than one year or she loses connection and dies for good || The Big Bad Wolf - The Gift, a flurry of furious feral mindset behind gnashing teeth and angry claws that requires a lot of blood to pay it back, or it takes from her energy depending on duration used

Eye Color: Originally pale blue, upon achieving Guidehood, they change to a mercury silver [quicksilver] and have a faint glow behind them

Hair Color: Ink black || It’s always been monstrous and mane-like, full of curls and coils and nebulous when not wrapped in that messy braid. It also acts like hackles and ‘ridges’ or fluffs up more in displays of intense emotion

Family Members: Her parents are presumed dead after being Stolen from their block in Dresden in ‘88. But she was adopted by an ex-Spetsnaz commander -Boris- who after his accident she calls ‘Papa’. She also considers her other Guide brethren as siblings; Raven, Hare, Fawn, Hope, Faith, Mutt, Adder, Eagle, and the unofficial Fox.

Pets: Not really pets in the same view as most people, Wulf grew up with fringeanimals. Fringeanimals sort of adopt their own families and accept the treatment of being a ‘pet’, though they are incredibly intelligent and capable of rationalizing consequence and even languages. So far, she shares her space with a fringehound that looks like your stereotypical German Shepherd Dog, named Jaeger. Jaeger can fool anyone not used to him into thinking he’s a normal dog, but he does have a tendency to join conversations, and understands no less than three languages.

Something They Don’t Like: State agents, military, police authority, The ‘Stag, open spaces, open sky, handsy drunks, greed

Hobbies/Activities: Reading, Bartending, Singing, Writing [field notes mostly but it still counts, along with basic illustrations]

Ever Hurt Anyone Before: Of course. Most of the time, in self-defense and never in any true malice, though she has hurt people to defend her family

Ever Killed Anyone Before: Directly, and indirectly. Dependent on where and how.

Worst Habits:Outside the obvious smoking and borderline alcoholism, she also chews on her lip or nails when nervous. Has a nervous tic that is tapping the toe of her boot on the ground to make a small clicking noise. Her penchant for Dramatics can be a plus or a negative, depending on situation. Secretly self-depreciating, but she’d never let it break out. The Wolf is proud, The Wolf is strong, she is an anchor, you know not the darker waters.

Role Models: Papa Boris, hands down. He didn’t have to take her in, could have left her to her pack of Orphans, but he did. Despite not having children of his own, he still did his weather best to raise her to be a decent member of society, or as decent as he was, which is subjective to who you’re asking. Surprisingly, The Mutt -a fellow Guide- also falls into this category. Mutt became a Guide after assaulting the dangerous Vogelweide anomaly when it went to devour his hamlet’s Oma. His selfless sacrifice to protect something he felt innocent makes her proud to call him brother, as well as gives her something to strive for in her own Guidehood.

Sexual Orientation: Demisexual, but panromantic. She must have a strong emotional connection to feel any sexual attraction, but if she Likes you, the romatics are strong with this one. Romantic relationships are verse-dependent.

Thoughts on Marriage/Kids: She jokes about disappearing into her Zone one day, marrying a nice Zoner, and having a litter of puppies. She’s not against the idea of marriage or kids, but that’s a big step with stalkers. Stalkers produce mutated children, it’s a common fact, and while she would be the loyalest and most loving of mothers, she’s so terrified of such prospects scaring away partners and being left the only parent of a potentially-mutated child she doesn’t put it as a tier in any potential romantic relationship. She is not against the thought, no, but she is of the very firm belief that she is incapable of being truly loved on a romantic level by anyone who knows and understands the risks of a stalker partner and so distances herself from it outside jokes.

Someone They Love: Those she considers family. Papa, Jaeger, and the other Guides. And of course, the looming mother that is her native Zone.

Approach to Friendship: Cautious, wary, paranoid. In the world and political cesspool that is fictional Germany, people trying to be your friend immediately are probably state agents. She considers people on a ‘friend’ level after they prove themselves actually worthy of being called such. Actions, not words, and all that.

Favourite Drink: Black acidic coffee; so black, it’s practically tar, the kind that burns the hair on your head with a sniff, so much as a taste. || Flavoured bourbons, local beer brews, and when she’s feeling very depressed, cheap turpentine whiskey.

Favourite Place to Spend Time At: Anywhere where she feels familiar energy. Crossroads, outside her Zone. And Central, inside her Zone. Both have an energy and dynamic from the people she surrounds herself with regularly, and it feels comfortable to be there.

Swim in the Lake or the Ocean: Neither, but if she had to choose, a lake. Both are vast unknowns, but any lake she is swimming in is probably an extension of Schwarzwald, and therefore it is something she knows and is more willing to surrender to.

Their Type: Someone she has an easy chemistry with, as in, their dynamic is not forced. Someone who is not afraid to be affectionate with her, who is not afraid of her being affectionate with them. Someone who is loyal, someone who will listen when she needs them to. Someone who can fit into the family dynamic she is so intrinsically tied into, because in the fight of them versus her family, she will always choose the latter.

Camping or Indoors: Camping, in forested areas. She loses the sound of Schwarzwald while indoors while outside of it, and it causes everything from insomnia to loss of appetite. But her site must be roofed, or have a sort of canopy; open spaces and skies make her very nervous.

The lake town

[steampunkforever]

I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

[kenapiece-main]

Can you believe I'm having to make this meme even after successfully finishing up taxes and applying to job

[randomfoggytiger]

Thanks for the tag, @baronessblixen. (Love these!)

Do you make your bed? Yes; but my bedspread is unconventional, so pillows and blankets all get piled together in one stack. No comforter, no bed sheet. I like it that way. ;))

Favorite number? 10:13, long before I watched The X-Files. Imagine my shock.

What's your job? Work in the small family business~

If you could go back to school, would you? I really don't want to. However, there's a trade school (or college) in the future for me; so that's... something.

Can you parallel park? Um... I think so. Haven't needed to since I got my license.

Do you think aliens are real? I used to be very no; but I'm not against the hypothetical. There's no proof thus far, obviously.

Can you drive a manual car? Never tried!

What's your guilty pleasure? If you had asked me this two days ago, it would have been chocolate; but just yesterday someone shared their cherries with me (hard to find here), unprompted, and I about went berserk (inside.) Love 'em. Cherries, bananas, watermelon, and apples are the only fruit that exist.

Tattoos? None; and won't get one. I know me and my constantly changing taste and sense of self.

Favorite color? Red, red, red!

Favorite type of music? Um... is tongue-in-cheek music a genre? (It's gotta be.) Rush E, Cope-a-Cabana,The Christmas Can Can, those sorts of things. There's gotta be a performance element to it, I think.

Do you like puzzles? Sure~

Any phobias? Used to really fear the deep ocean, then that subsided once I realized 90+% of it is completely and thoroughly mapped out.

Hmmm... something standing in the dark. Which is, in a way, the same as my aforementioned fear.

Favorite childhood sport? Didn't have one! But swimming's the best, so I choose that.

Do you talk to yourself? Yes? I think so. "Knock it off", or "don't", or "stop it", or something like that. Not incessantly.
