MarchWeres Day 12

Prompt: Tips n’ Tricks

Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Tabby (oc)

Warnings: None

Tabby was no stranger to Daryl’s routine. The full moon was exhausting for him. It was the only time the change came with or without his willingness. He would rather stay with her, she knew that, but she also knew that sometimes it was difficult for her during that phase.

Though he had never hurt her, he had come close only once, and that was enough for him. It had been her own fault, approaching while he fed, maw deep in the belly of a deer, her scent shrouded. She had spoken his name and he had turned, bloody fangs bared and claws brandished. The fear in her eyes had been enough for him to banish himself from her company entirely.

Since that night, she spent the time during every full moon preparing and missing him. A thick blanket and a bowl of warm water waiting for when he approached. If he was late, she simply reheated it over the fire. Once he would drag himself from the tree line, he knew her routine just as well as she knew his.

First, the blanket around his shoulders. He was always naked when he returned, too overpowered by the shift to really give a damn. Tabby would wash him right there on the porch unless it was too cold. His hair could be dealt with more thoroughly later. The cloth would just be passed over it for the time being, washing away any loose dirt or debris. She took great care in cleaning him up, before guiding him inside.

He was rarely hungry, simply exhausted and aching. His human body, though altered, could never keep up with the extended, grueling shift during the full moon. A hot bowl of stew always sat on the table but he usually bypassed it for the water next to it, gulping it down along with the painkillers Tabby would have ventured to Alexandria to secure for him.

A comfortable pair of flannel pants sat strategically on the floor next to the bed. He simply needed to step into them and she pulled them up to sit low on his hips, always taking a moment to press a kiss to his shoulder blade.

The sheets were clean, the duvet turned down, another glass of water on the nightstand. He would drink that first and then climb into bed, asleep almost instantly. Tabby ensured he was tucked in tight and set about cleaning and putting things away, placing yet another glass of water by the bed and two more painkillers, before changing and crawling in with him.

There was nothing she could do to change his mind about his routine and keep him home, but she had her own little tips and tricks to remind him once he returned how much he was missed there.

Deciding you have something and knowing it’s done no matter what you see outside of you is all it takes for you to have anything in the world 🌎 🩷

i wish my family put me in ballet or gymnastics when i was a kid so i'd be thinner or smaller 🤘

[svramblrdegg]

My scale broke so I can’t measure myself anymore. I think I’m gonna go crazy…

And I can’t ask my parents to buy another one because I think they’ll get suspicious of me.

SOMEONE HELP ME ���

it's crazy to think not everyone in the world has an E.D.

like wdym you have a healthy relationship with food and don't think about your body 24/7 ???

[irrelevantdonny]

This disorder is such a distraction from my other problems. Ex has a new gf? Depression season is here? Socially isolated and hasn’t seen anyone apart from my family in weeks? Suicidal thoughts are back? Focus on the calories god 🙄

At least this is something I have control of

[comfymoth]

you're amazing at tutorials! would you consider doing one for humans? or maybe clothes?

aww, haha thank you anon! this is incredibly basic, but here’s a little rundown of how i proportion my humans and sketch them out!

one thing i learned in figure drawing was how to measure using different points on the body, and i still find it super helpful, even when just drawing my silly little cartoons. obviously i draw the heads very large, so those measurements aren’t true to life (the base of your ribs isn’t one head from your chin), but the other ones actually are! hopefully it kind of makes sense how i’ve drawn it out?

when it comes to actually posing the body though, starting with references is really your best bet. i knowww life drawing is boring, but it’s really going to help familiarize you with how the body moves, until eventually you’re able to just freehand it. i for sure need to do it more too xP there are a ton of online resources for it though, like adorkastock, reference.pictures, jookpubstock and line of action! for me i find it easiest to start by blocking in the head, the ribs and the pelvis, and then i add limbs and fill the body out.

i’m not sure how much i know about drawing clothes, but, if people want i can try to sketch up something for that too a little later! i just need to go make dinner soon, haha
