#too scared to post this in the discord

fool’s gold sketches. i know xanu doesn’t actually have a line on his neck (not canonically at least) but i saw it in a few frames and it just seemed to fit. 2nd drawing based off of the reference that dingo made where vicky was standing next to xanu because i thought it was lowkey funny. don’t look at the drawing for too long tho cuz i made it at midnight. also sips looks like the monkey king and i don’t know how to not make him look like that so apologies.

Idk if this is a good time for it but I've been working on a queer fantasy story for over a year now. Sapphic romance. Brown trans enby lead. Resistance against a fascist empire. Y'know. Standard stuff.

Haven't got all the kinks worked out, need to smooth some things out in this round of edits and get back to making progress but like. Yeah. This is coming, eventually.

a handful of quotes below the cut

Thus the Empire of Light began. It was an era known for peace, its birth marked by blood and slaughter. Peace reigned as the Emperor demanded it, his word made law through fear and bloodshed when his propaganda was insufficient. It was not to last.

A thrill raced through my body at her touch, the whisper of her breath on my palm. “Yes,” I promised. “I’ll see you then.” On impulse, I pulled away, dropped to the ground to find the fallen rose. There, it wasn't even squished. I offered it to her with my best attempt at a charming look, extending my arm like a storybook prince. “Til then, take this.

“She’s scared,” Fionnuala said frankly. “Her heart’s been broken before and she’s scared to let it happen again.”

“Hope you don’t mind,” Vida mumbled in my ear, sounding more than half asleep. I snuggled into her and fell asleep with a smile on my lips.

Another sigh, sounding almost as if she were bracing for something. “Love, look. Feelings, the deep ones, they’re hard for me. I don’t know that I’ve ever had anything more lasting than a passing fancy, and you–” Her voice cracked. “You deserve better.” “You already said you want to be friends, you don’t need to explain that twice.” “No– love, listen.” Vida’s hand caught my chin as she leaned over me. “What I’m trying to say is, I’d like to try, if you still want to.”

“How can you laugh?” Fiachra teased. “Da’s got no idea what to do with another boy around! He’ll be so lost.”

Wasn't I… well, traitorous was the only word I could think of. I'd practiced magic without a license, and whether I was a girl in love with a girl, or a boy who'd been born a girl… or, maybe, neither… what I wasn't was the good daughter I was supposed to be. Maybe I was a shadow too.

Ceri’s dark eyes reminded me of an inquisitive beetle I’d found on the edge of the water bucket when I was a girl. It hadn’t meant to be any trouble, it had just been there. I’d watched it, entranced by its shining black carapace, until my mother came to see what was taking me so long. She’d screamed and slammed the bucket to the ground upside down, killing the beetle and causing me to burst into tears. Later, she’d said she was only scared.

“That’s entirely fair. Are you ready?” A bubble of laughter squeezed its way up. “No. Do it.”

“That’s politics, Shadow. One aspect of it, anyways. Changing the world, little by little.”

“Wasn’t there another way?” Ciaran was silent for a few seconds before he admitted, “Perhaps. Perhaps there was. But I still feel the world is no worse off for the loss of him, and I cannot find it in me to regret it.”

“Don’t you ever want to do something you’re not supposed to? Love the wrong way, be the wrong person, want the wrong things?”

**bonus mention to two scenes friends specifically liked that were a bit longer than I wanted for this, the "Would you love me if I were a worm?" "Yes but also please don't be a worm. ew" conversation, and the "hot" meeting scene where one character puts her finger on another's lips and says "I want you knowing you're in your right mind for this [kiss]"**

torn between not being able to trust goyim to not be antisemitc anymore unless they really prove me otherwise and going "I guess we'll get along" when they find out I'm Israeli and still treat me like a human being

*touches screen dramatically* v5 is almost here...

[artichow]

The heat is making me very tired, I've been drawing as much as I can but can't do much unfortunately:')

I also wanted to reopen my art sharing server to new people here but wanted to make a banner or something to advertise it in a post, not sure when that will be possible though... If you're interested in joining you can DM me and I'll send you a link

[bmpmp3]

i do wish i was better at communicating with people online and through technology. i wander into conversations and make new ones all the time irl with random people and its fun but im like hyping myself to type out a single response to a Post. and to say nothing of how difficult it is to get me to say something in a discord server

[auriidae]

i found this really old comic i made and never posted here?? there is a superb dearth of context i am aware but (chucks this in your general direction anyway)

(this was from an au based off a weird dream i had a while ago ??? it was like. they were normal human kids but they somehow got into this strange video game slash simulation or smth which SOUNDS like sburb but it was way different trust me. i wrote a ton abt it for months and then never thought about it again. n e ways.)

[struck-by-the-rain]

idk if this is me being a massive bitch on main or what but it is Annoying when the only replies ppl leave on art are like,,, haha funni jokes or "woah is that [funny character]?" (when it's obviously not [funny character]) especially when you've spent ages on something!!!! like obviously it's different if the art has a jokey element to it and u know what I do like being a bit Silly on main sometimes so I don't wanna sound too upright... but it is frustrating as hell when u post something that u spent ages on (and felt a bit scared sharing in the first place) and someone comes and replies w some random ass meme reference that's barely related????? like girl huh????

idk sorry i probs sound like that squilliam guy from spongebob and i don't wanna be snobby but I kinda think if u wanna leave a Funny Comment on art 1) maybe say something about the art itself too! 2) make it actually Funny? sorryyy for da rant. i just think maybe some ppl aren't familiar w artist comment etiquette or whatever

(not about tumblr ppl at all btw y'all are lovely and the tags you leave keep me drawing!! i just wanted to bitch on main! the lil space kicker is just there to be silly he's not relevant)

[innocet]
