It's not really a birthday drawing, but this drawing is like a birthday present, you know. Furthermore, this drawing is dedicated to all autistic people in the world, as this drawing continues the series of autistic characters that I created. The first drawing in this themed series is a wonderful art that I won from my friend, Tururs, in a art raffle. So if you want to see this art, click here: https://www.tumblr.com/thunderbone/746660868952064000/english-happy-world-autism-awareness-day-this-is

Anyway, I decided to share with you a book that I've been planning to write for a while now. This book is a sequel to Alice in Wonderland, as well as being a "modern version" of the story. My story was inspired by Hook (1991) and Disney's live-action Alice in Wonderland.

This beautiful and wonderful drawing was made by Nicolai, also known as ahdortable on Instagram. In this drawing made by Nicolai, Alice was inspired by American McGee's Alice, while Jack was inspired by Tsaiko Tails, a grown-up version of Tails created by @tsaikonautz, also known as IndigoBeatss. Thank you very much for drawing Alice and Jack/Sunset Fox, the drawing was amazing 💖 If you want to see his drawings, click here: www.instagram.com/ahdortable/

The story revolves around Alice, a 20-year-old girl who lives with her older sister, Elizabeth, and her younger brother, Peter. Their parents died when Peter was 3 years old and Alice was 11 years old, so Elizabeth had to take care of her two brothers. Alice has Asperger's Syndrome, which is already a reason for Elizabeth to be super protective of her.

Because of her atypical mental and emotional condition, Alice is seen as childish and unreliable by her sister, who believes that she is not prepared to be independent and live her adult life because she does not understand anything about the outside world and its dangers, beyond the fact that she has great difficulty expressing her own emotions and recognizing or understanding the feelings and intentions of others.

Because of this, Alice tries to prove her worth to Elizabeth, believing that she can live without depending on her. Alice is very close to her younger brother, Peter, where he loves her very much and sees her as a mother figure, just like Elizabeth. One day, the 3 siblings were traveling on vacation, and headed to a nearby city. However, a deer appeared in the middle of the road, where Elizabeth tried to avoid it but the car ended up overturning.

After the accident, Alice ended up waking up inside a teapot, which, to her great surprise, had been shrunk by the Mad Hatter, who soon returned her to her normal size by giving her a cupcake. The Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Sunset Fox, the Dormouse, the twin siblings Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the Cheshire Cat are reunited with Alice, which leaves her confused at first.

They explain that when she was a child, she once visited Wonderland, where she befriended them. Furthermore, she helped them defeat the Queen of Hearts, as everyone was already tired of her tyranny and her cruel, dictatorial kingdom. Alice remembers a little of this, but she thought everything that happened was just a dream. However, after Alice left and never returned to Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts devised her plan to get her throne back and take revenge on Alice for ending her reign of several years.

It was the queen who made Alice return to Wonderland with her siblings, where she captured them. Alice's old friends barely saved her before the arrival of the Queen of Hearts' subordinates. To make matters worse, Alice's friends are fugitives from the law, as the Queen also wants to take revenge on them at any cost. Knowing that Wonderland and her siblings are in great danger, Alice, with the help of her friends and the White Rabbit (who works for the Queen of Hearts but is secretly on the protagonists' side and is their informant), went to try stop the Queen's evil plans.

During the adventure, Alice gradually remembered her adventures in Wonderland as a child and her friendships with the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the hare, the dormouse, the twins, the rabbit and the fox, the latter who soon becomes her best friend.

There are a few more details that I thought of for this idea, such as the fox. This character does not exist in the original Alice in Wonderland story, he was invented by me. His story is very sad, you know.

His name is Jack and he lived in a forest inhabited by anthropomorphic foxes. However, he has autism, which is a bit serious. I mean, he's not like people who have very severe autism, who are very aggressive, have difficulty speaking, learning, relating to people... He doesn't have this type of autism, which unfortunately is a stereotype , where people think autistic people are retarded.

Let's just say that he is very impulsive, allowing him to do things without thinking twice, in addition to being irritated very easily, and can be a little aggressive. Furthermore, every late afternoon and early evening, Jack became agitated and very anxious for no apparent reason, where he was unable to sleep several times, in addition to being extremely frustrated with his own confusion. Because of this and the fact that he was very different from other foxes (since he was autistic), he suffered a lot of prejudice, being called crazy by many, in addition to receiving the nickname Sunset Fox.

And the worst thing is that no one in Wonderland knows what autism and other types of mental disorders are, which only made the situation even worse. At one point, Jack is abandoned as a child by his parents, who did not accept him the way he is. That poor little fox lived alone for some time, in need. Until one day he was found by the Mad Hatter and his two best friends, the March Hare and the Dormouse. The Mad Hatter decided to adopt that fox, because he felt very sorry for him, saying he understood his pain.

However, the Mad Hatter didn't really understand what Jack was going through, because the Mad Hatter doesn't have autism and he thought Jack was crazy just like him, and having autism is very different from being crazy. In short, the Mad Hatter didn't know what it was like to suffer bullying and prejudice for being different, for being born with an atypical mental and emotional condition.

Despite this, the Mad Hatter went to help the boy. Jack then lived with his adoptive father and his uncle and aunt until then, drinking several cups of tea and living many surreal adventures. Jack loves the Mad Hatter very much and sees him as the father figure he always wanted, as he accepted him the way he is. Jack met Alice when he was 10, while she was 7. When Alice returned to Wonderland, Jack was very happy to see her again.

Throughout the story, Jack opened up to Alice about his atypical mental and emotional condition, and to his great surprise, she understands the prejudice he suffered for being different all these years, as she also has autism just like him. Yes, Jack finally met someone who is just like him and who knows what it's like to live with a mental illness that affects his life. But both will learn that it's okay being different, where both will have pride of their autism and will being positive about being different.

At that moment, Jack started to fall in love with Alice, but he didn't want to admit his feelings to her or anyone else, because he knows that his love for Alice would never work, since she is a human and he is an anthro animal. As the story progressed, I imagined Alice and Jack having a lot of chemistry, where she would also fall in love with him. In the final stretch of the story, he confesses his love for her, but they don't stay together.

Another thing I thought about is that while the other characters have special powers or abilities, Alice is the only one who doesn't have any of these. However, she uses things from Wonderland to her advantage, such as sweets (cakes and cookies) and non-alcoholic drinks (juices and soft drinks) that have the ability to make her look giant or small.

She's like Mario when he eats specific mushrooms to become giant or have super powers, as well as picking up things like that little cape that turns into a superhero cape so he can fly. Another thing I thought about is the possibility of implementing a stalker villain who will make the protagonists' lives hell until the end. He would be like Nemesis from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999), where he would be the biggest son of a bitch in history, second to the Queen of Hearts.

I imagined him being the Jabberwocky, a monster from a poem in the book Alice Through the Looking Glass (sequel of the original work, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, also written by Lewis Caroll). In my version of this monster, he would be a type of dragon, just like his counterpart from Disney's live-action Alice in Wonderland (2010). He would probably be a monster created by the Queen of Hearts, being programmed to eliminate all the protagonists, including Alice. That's why he chases them until the final stretch of my story and he's definitely going to make everyone angry at him, lol

Furthermore, I also imagined Alice being a rocker/metalhead girl, like me XD That explains why she was wearing a punk leather jacket lol Anyway, what do you think of my story? What should I improve?

Não é bem um desenho de aniversário, mas esse desenho é como um presente de aniversário, sabe. Além disso, esse desenho é dedicado à todas as pessoas autistas no mundo, pois esse desenho continua com a série de personagens autistas que eu criei. O primeiro desenho dessa série temática é uma arte maravilhosa que eu ganhei do sorteio do meu amigo, Tururs. Então caso queiram ver essa arte, cliquem aqui: https://www.tumblr.com/thunderbone/746660868952064000/english-happy-world-autism-awareness-day-this-is

Enfim, resolvi compartilhar com vocês um livro que estou planejando escrever já faz algum tempo. Esse livro é uma continuação de Alice no País das Maravilhas, além de ser uma "versão moderna" da história. A minha história foi inspirada no filme Hook: A Volta do Capitão Gancho (1991) e o live-action Alice no País das Maravilhas da Disney.

Esse desenho lindo e maravilhoso foi feito pelo Nicolai, também conhecido como ahdortable no Instagram. Nesse desenho feito pelo Nicolai, a Alice foi inspirada na Alice de American McGee, enquanto o Jack foi inspirado no Tsaiko Tails, uma versão crescida do Tails criado pela @tsaikonautz, também conhecida como IndigoBeatss. Muito obrigado por desenhar a Alice e o Jack/Raposa do pôr-do-sol, o desenho ficou incr��vel 💖 Caso queiram ver os desenhos dele, cliquem aqui: www.instagram.com/ahdortable/

A história gira em torno de Alice, uma garota de 20 anos que vive com a sua irmã mais velha, Elizabeth, e seu irmão mais novo, Peter. Os pais deles morreram quando Peter tinha 3 aninhos e Alice tinha 11 anos de idade, onde Elizabeth teve que cuidar de seus dois irmãos. Alice tem Síndrome de Asperger, o que já é um motivo pra Elizabeth ser super protetora em relação à ela.

Por causa de sua condição mental e emocional atípica, Alice é vista como infantil e não confiável por sua irmã, que acredita que ela não está preparada pra ser independente e viver sua vida adulta por não entender nada do mundo exterior e seus perigos, além do fato dela ter muita dificuldade em expressar suas próprias emoções e de reconhecer ou entender os sentimentos e intenções dos outros.

Por causa disso, Alice tenta provar o seu valor pra Elizabeth, acreditando que ela pode sim viver sem depender dela. Alice é muito próxima ao seu irmão caçula, Peter, onde ele a ama muito e a vê como uma figura materna, assim como Elizabeth. Um dia, os 3 irmãos estavam viajando de férias, do qual se dirigiam para uma cidade próxima. Porém, um cervo apareceu no meio da estrada, onde Elizabeth tentou desviar mas o carro acabou capotando.

Após o acidente, Alice acabou acordando dentro de um bule de chá, que para sua grande surpresa, ela havia sido encolhida pelo Chapeleiro Louco, que logo fez ela voltar ao seu tamanho normal dando à ela um bolinho. O Chapeleiro Louco, a Lebre de Março, a Raposa do Pôr-do-sol, a Arganaz, o casal de irmãos gêmeos Tweedledum e Tweedledee e o Gato Risonho se reencontram com Alice, o que a deixa confusa de início.

Eles explicam que quando ela era uma criança, ela já visitou o País das Maravilhas, onde ela fez amizade com eles. Além disso, ela os ajudou a derrotar a Rainha de Copas, pois todo mundo já estava cansado da tirania dela e do seu reino ditador e cruel. Alice se lembra um pouco disso, mas ela achava que tudo o que aconteceu era só um sonho. Porém, depois que Alice foi embora e nunca mais voltou ao País das Maravilhas, a Rainha de Copas arquitetou o seu plano de conseguir de volta o seu trono e se vingar da Alice por ter acabado com o seu reinado de vários anos.

Foi a rainha que fez Alice voltar para o País das Maravilhas com seus irmãos, onde ela capturou eles. Por pouco, os antigos amigos da Alice a salvaram antes da chegada dos subordinados da Rainha de Copas. Pra piorar a situação, os amigos da Alice são foragidos da lei, pois a Rainha também quer se vingar deles a qualquer custo. Sabendo que o País das Maravilhas e os seus irmãos correm um grande perigo, Alice, com a ajuda de seus amigos e do Coelho Branco (que trabalha pra Rainha de Copas mas secretamente está do lado dos protagonistas e é o informante deles), foram tentar impedir os planos malignos da Rainha.

Durante a aventura, aos poucos a Alice foi se lembrando de suas aventuras no país das Maravilhas quando criança e de sua amizade com o Gato Risonho, o Chapeleiro Louco, a lebre, a arganaz, os gêmeos, o coelho e a raposa, este último que logo se torna o seu melhor amigo.

Tem mais alguns detalhes que pensei pra essa ideia, como por exemplo a tal raposa. Esse personagem não existe na história original do Alice no País das Maravilhas, ele foi inventado por mim. A história dele é bem triste, sabe

Ele se chama Jack e vivia em uma floresta habitada por raposas antropomórficas. Porém, ele tem autismo, que é um pouco grave. Quer dizer, ele não é igual a pessoas que têm autismo bastante grave, que são muito agressivas, têm dificuldade na fala, no aprendizado, em se relacionar com as pessoas... Ele não tem esse tipo de autismo, que infelizmente é um estereótipo, onde pessoas pensam que autistas são retardados.

Digamos que ele é muito impulsivo, deixando-o fazer coisas sem pensar duas vezes, além de se irritar muito facilmente, podendo ser um pouco agressivo. Além disso, em todos os finais da tarde e início das noites, Jack ficava agitado e bastante ansioso sem motivo aparente, onde ele não conseguia dormir várias vezes, além de ficar extremamente frustrado com sua própria confusão. Por causa disso e do fato dele ser muito diferente das outras raposas (já que ele era autista), ele sofria muito preconceito, sendo chamado de louco por muitos, além de receber o apelido de Raposa do Pôr-do-sol.

E o pior é que ninguém no País das Maravilhas sabe o que é autismo e outros tipos de transtornos mentais, o que só piorou ainda mais a situação. Em um dado momento, Jack é abandonado ainda criança por seus pais, que não o aceitaram do jeito que é. Aquela pobre raposinha viveu sozinha por algum tempo, passando por necessidades. Até que um dia ele foi encontrado pelo Chapeleiro Louco e seus dois melhores amigos, a Lebre de Março e a Arganaz. O Chapeleiro Louco resolveu adotar aquela raposa, pois ele ficou com muita pena dele, dizendo que entendia a sua dor.

No entanto, o Chapeleiro Louco não entendia de fato o que Jack estava passando, pois o Chapeleiro Louco não tem autismo e ele achava que o Jack é louco assim como ele, sendo que ter autismo é muito diferente de ser louco. Resumidamente, o Chapeleiro Louco não sabia como é sofrer bullying e preconceito por ser diferente, por ter nascido com uma condição mental e emocional atípica.

Apesar disso, o Chapeleiro Louco foi ajudar o garoto. Jack então passou a viver com o seu pai adotivo e seus tios até então, tomando várias xícaras de chá e vivendo muitas aventuras surreais. Jack ama muito o Chapeleiro Louco e o vê como uma figura paterna que sempre quis, pois ele o aceitou do jeito que é. Jack conheceu a Alice quando tinha 10 anos, enquanto ela tinha 7. Quando Alice voltou ao País das Maravilhas, Jack ficou muito feliz em vê-la de novo.

Ao longo da história, Jack desabafou pra Alice sobre a sua condição mental e emocional atípica, e para sua grande surpresa, ela entende o preconceito que sofreu por ser diferente durante todos esses anos, pois ela também tem autismo assim como ele. Sim, Jack finalmente conheceu alguém que é igual à ele e que sabe como é viver com um transtorno mental que afeta sua vida. Mas ambos aprenderão que tá tudo bem ser diferente, onde ambos terão orgulho de seu autismo e serão positivos por serem diferentes.

Nesse momento, Jack começou a se apaixonar pela Alice, mas ele não queria admitir seus sentimentos pra ela e pra ninguém, pois ele sabe que o seu amor pela Alice nunca daria certo, já que ela é uma humana e ele um animal antropomórfico/furry. No decorrer da história, eu imaginei a Alice e o Jack tendo muita química, onde ela também se apaixonaria por ele. Na reta final da história, ele confessa o seu amor por ela, mas eles não ficam juntos.

Outra coisa que pensei é que enquanto os outros personagens tem poderes ou habilidades especiais, a Alice é a única que não tem nada disso. Porém, ela usa coisas do País das Maravilhas ao seu favor, como por exemplo os doces (bolos e biscoitos) e bebidas não alcoólicas (sucos e refrigerantes) que tem a capacidade de deixá-la gigante ou pequena.

�� tipo o Mário quando come uns cogumelos específicos pra virar gigante ou ter super poderes, além de pegar coisas como aquela capinha que vira uma capa de super herói pra ele voar. Outra coisa que pensei é a possibilidade de implementar um vilão perseguidor que irá infernizar a vida dos protagonistas até o fim. Ele seria igual ao Nemesis do Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999), onde ele seria o grande filho da puta da história, ficando atrás da Rainha de Copas.

Eu o imaginei sendo o Jabberwocky, um monstro de um poema do livro Alice Através do Espelho (continuação da obra original, As Aventuras de Alice no País das Maravilhas, também escrito por Lewis Caroll). Na minha versão desse monstro, ele seria um tipo de dragão, assim como a contraparte dele do live-action do Alice no País das Maravilhas da Disney (2010). Provavelmente ele seria um monstro criado pela Rainha de Copas, sendo programado para eliminar todos os protagonistas, incluindo a Alice. Por isso ele os persegue até a reta final da minha história e com certeza ele vai deixar todo mundo com raiva dele, rsrs

Além disso, eu também imaginei a Alice sendo uma garota roqueira/metaleira, que nem eu XD Isso explica o motivo dela estar usando uma jaqueta de couro punk rsrs Mas enfim, o que acharam da minha história? No que devo melhorar?

I saw you on the train - Sterek Fanfic

Sterek fanfiction, shamelessly based on this Tumblr post by @tsaiko. (OP, please let me know if I overstepped!) This is also on A03.

I saw you on the train

Derek gets on the subway after work, mentally bracing himself for having to deal with people because he didn’t charge his phone last night. Or he did, but his pup chewed through his charger cable and he frankly didn’t notice the nearly empty battery until he was already at the office. Any other day he loves his old brick of a phone, but today it was a bit of a bother that nobody had a charger that he could borrow. Ergo, he has no music to drone out the conversations of the other passengers.

He makes his way a little down the train car and sits down in an open seat. Across the aisle and one seat down are two men, mid to late twenties. They’re having one of those whisper-shout conversations with each other, where the words at the end of each sentence get louder with their anger, before they remind themselves that they are in public and go back to furious whispering. Derek can tell they are trying to be quiet, but emotions are high. Things are tense between them, it’s obvious within a few minutes of involuntary eavesdropping.

He knows he should try to ignore them, but it’s pretty hard to do. They’re in Derek’s direct line of sight and one of them has the most mesmerising whiskey coloured eyes he has ever seen. Right now, the lines around the young man’s eyes are hard and stressed, yet Derek can imagine the twinkle that would be there when he’s in better spirits. It fits the slight uptick of his nose. Somehow he just knows the guy can be a nuisance in all the best ways. He has an expressive face, which makes him far more interesting to Derek than his more generically handsome partner, who has neatly styled brown hair and blue eyes.

It’s an easy guess that the two of them are in a relationship, even though the expected easy chemistry is missing. But there aren’t many people that would be fighting in public, except when they’re in a close, intimate relationship. It’s a bit odd that they chose to have a discussion about the future of their relationship on the subway during rush hour, but whatever, they probably had a head of steam up on this topic. 

It's a relationship drama that doesn’t involve Derek, yet he’s kind of forced to listen to it as one of the few people without headphones in the direct vicinity. There’s an older woman that glances curiously in the direction of the two men every now and then, but she’s reading a travel guide in a language that Derek can’t place, so chances are her English isn’t good enough to know what the two are talking about. 

The gist of their discussion is that the one with the blue eyes wants to move forward with their relationship, maybe move in together, while Whiskey Eyes wants to slow down. Suddenly, Mr. Generic breaks in with a story about how his mom hates the city, but she moved to New York to stay with his dad and has lived there for twenty years now. And then he actually says the words: “Because relationships are about sacrifices.”

Whiskey Eyes looks like he wants to argue that point - which Derek can understand - yet he decides to follow his boyfriend’s reasoning. “And what have you sacrificed for our relationship?”

The barely hidden sarcasm in the question is apparently lost on Mr. Generic, because he has the audacity to come up with something or other he missed out on because he went with his boyfriend to a wedding. “We flew all the way back to California for your step brother’s wedding. I even had to sleep on the floor of your childhood bedroom!”

Like Derek, Whiskey Eyes is totally unimpressed with that answer and even rolls his eyes. Of course, his boyfriend doesn’t like that and their whispered argument continues. Derek can’t exactly hear what they’re saying, though it’s apparent that things aren’t getting better. Then, in a voice clear as day, Whiskey Eyes asks: “Name one thing I’m interested in.”

Mr. Generic freezes. He does a pretty decent impression of a store mannequin, with the vacant expression and the empty eyes. Derek can almost hear the dial tone coming from his brain. It’s clear that he can’t come up with a single thing that his boyfriend likes. On top of that, he looks confused as to why he’s even asked that question.

Things are quiet after that. The boyfriend tries to talk to Whiskey Eyes a couple of times, but he ignores him and just stares straight ahead. There’s a grim expression on his face, his jaws clenched. Still, the boyfriend doesn’t seem to understand the trouble he got himself in. 

The train pulls up at the station, Derek’s stop, and Whiskey Eyes gets up. “Baby?” Mr. Generic frowns at his partner. “This isn’t our stop.”

Whiskey Eyes gives him a cold glance. “It’s my stop now.” The doors open and he walks out. Just fucking walks off and leaves him on the train. 

Derek almost forgets to get off himself, he gets out just before the doors close. The boyfriend comes to his senses too and he jostles roughly past Derek in his hurry to go after his partner. Or ex-partner, probably. Because Derek sincerely doubts he can recover from that. He almost feels bad for the idiot. Or not, since the contents of Derek’s messenger bag go sprawling across the platform because of his rude shoulder check. 

The platform of the small station empties out quickly, leaving Derek to pick up the notes that spilled from their folder. When he looks up, still on one knee and with his papers in hand, he sees the couple from the train. They’re standing halfway between Derek and the exit and he’s just in time to see Whiskey Eyes pull his arm loose from Mr. Generic’s grip. Their voices echo in the empty station.

“We are through, Matt. I should’ve realised before that it wouldn’t work out, this thing between us.” Whiskey Eyes gestures angrily between them. “If there ever was a thing, because I’m starting to think I was the only one who was really invested.” 

Mr. Generic - Matt - scoffs. “You’re overreacting. And for what? Just because I couldn’t remember the name of your favourite movie from the top of my head? It’s Star Track, or something.”

“Star Trek,” Whiskey Eyes corrects, emphasising the last word. “And my favourite is Star Wars, not Star Trek.” He looks like he’s completely done with his ex-boyfriend’s bullshit. “Good bye, Matt. I’ll ask Lydia to pick up my stuff from your place later. Don’t follow me please.” He turns on his heel and walks to the stairs. 

“Baby…” The now definitely ex-boyfriend tries to keep up with him, but he’s quickly shot down.

“Don’t follow me.” The words are cold and clipped, making the ex-boyfriend stop in his tracks and just watch Whiskey Eyes disappear up the stairs.

Derek briefly makes eye contact with the asshole ex-boyfriend as he too makes his way to the exit. The man ignores him, mumbling something about ‘stupid nerd shit’ as he fumbles his phone from his pocket and simultaneously checks the board for the next train.

Yeah, Derek doesn’t feel sorry for him.

He does feel sorry for the whiskey eyed young man he finds standing forlornly just outside the exit of the train station. The guy just looks so lost that Derek can’t help but go up to him. “Are you okay?” he asks, startling the other.

“What? Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m okay,” Whiskey Eyes hurries to say. Then he looks around him and huffs a small, sad laugh. “Actually, I’m not. I don’t have a clue where I am and I just realised that I left my keys at home and my roommate won’t be home until late tonight.” 

“Shitty day, huh?” Derek remarks, showing him a sympathetic smile. 

“You can say that again,” is the blunt answer. It sounds almost rude, though it’s followed by a rueful smile. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t… I mean, I didn’t want to…” Derek isn’t really sure what he’s apologising for and neither seems he. “Sorry. Again. You caught me at a bad time. I just broke up with my… Well, my ex-boyfriend now.”

“I know,” Derek answers and he winces, because it’s clear he was listening in to things that were none of his business. “I mean,” he tries to course correct, “I couldn’t help but overhear. I was on the train too.” 

“You were?” Whiskey Eyes blushes a delicious shade of red. “Fuck. That’s embarrassing.” 

“Nah.” Derek shrugs. “If anything, he’s the one who should be ashamed. Like, who doesn’t know Star Trek apart from Star Wars?”

“I know, right?” He’s still blushing, but it goes well with his smile. 

Derek usually isn’t this forward with strangers, but right now he feels like taking a chance. He could be mistaken, but he doesn’t think he is, not with the shy way Whiskey Eyes is rubbing the back of his neck. So he asks: “Would you like to get something to eat? I’m on my way home and I was planning to get some take out, but if you want, we can go grab a bite together?” 

“Uh, sure!” Whiskey Eyes is only a bit taken aback by his question and seems eager to distract himself from the situation from earlier. “Yeah, why not? I have to wait until my roommate gets home anyway.” Then he holds out his hand. “I’m Stiles, by the way.” 

“Derek.” He takes his hand and is pleased to find it warm and firm. “How do you feel about Thai food?” 

They settle down in the window seat of the small Thai place a block or so from Derek’s home. Stiles declares it the best Tom Kha Kai he has ever had and they discover that they’re born in the same county in California. Derek’s family moved out when he was about twelve years old, yet Stiles’ father still lives there. And so does his recently married step brother.

Conversation flows easily and Derek is happy to discover that Stiles indeed has a very appealing sparkle in his eyes when he’s amused. 

Four months later, they kiss for the first time. Another four months later he finds himself lying on a thin camping mattress on the floor of Stiles’ childhood bedroom. There’s a large Star Wars poster above the bed, with the letters of the opening crawl. Glow in the dark stars that have long lost their shine dot the ceiling. 

A little above him, Stiles rolls so he can look down over the edge of the bed. “I’m sorry my bed is so tiny,” he whispers. “Are you sure you’re okay down there? We can switch!”

Derek catches the hand Stiles extends to him and presses his lips to the knuckles. “I’m fine, sweetheart. It’s just for a couple of nights anyway.”

Stiles smiles fondly at him. “Okay, if you’re sure.” 

“I’m sure,” Derek nods. He presses another kiss to the back of Stiles’ hand. “Now go to sleep, you’ve got a big day tomorrow.”

Stiles yawns and nods. As only son and best man he’s invested in making his father’s wedding day a success. “You really don’t think he’d let me walk him down the aisle?” 

Derek chuckles quietly. They’ve been over this before. “Just leave that part to Scott and his mom. Don’t steal their thunder.” 

“Right.” Stiles caresses the side of Derek’s face one last time and then tucks his arm back underneath his blanket. “Good night, Der. Love you.” 

“I love you too. Good night.”

Some quick doodles before moving onto some asks! What if my Tails from my Sonic AU met @tsaikonautz ‘s Tails? I’d imagine they’d be good friends. I love Tsaiko’s blocky shapes, too! Love this design!

[thunderbone]

Thank you again for drawing my two OCs, the art is so fantastic 💖 And you don't need to be so hard on yourself, you are a super talented artist, I saw that you can draw characters' faces and that's really good! The way you draw the characters is perfect and I'm not kidding, you really draw very well ☺️

[ BATCH TWO COMPLETE ]

Ty for the requests!

[ Requesters: @unicornacopia @brobluebears @the-travelling-witch @sunfl0wersapphic @nyaamine @thebluester2020 @unknownstarrl @kalisokay @thunderbone @hanazura @quinin3 ]

-> Plz check messages if you haven’t yet!

I’m gonna be honest, I’m so tired. In the first batch, I put way too much effort into a “doodle” and so it became more of a genuine doodle in batch two.

However, I’m just also let down by having it be shown to me that I NEED TO STUDY FACES. I hate how they look, and even with all this practice with varying characters, I know I need to go back to basics. So yes, I admit laziness.
