AAAA tell me about your post canon raydon hcs!! if you please!!

answering this a few days late bc my brain is full of bees but AWWWWW HELL YAH THANK YOU!! THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME so!!

fair warning this is really long. i don't know how this happened. what. <3

i like to think they start dating probably a few months after getting to the human world. they had developed romantic feelings for each other a while before that (likely sometime during the vol12 timeskip because they had a lot of time to grow closer while traveling <3) but it took them both a bit to realize those feelings especially due to being a bit preoccupied with. all the problems <3 they were obviously still really close and important to each other regardless

ray was probably the first to realize the way he loved don was different from the way he loved everyone else. he probably didn't really think much about the way he got butterflies whenever he was near don until he took a moment to be like oh. fuck. a more funny alternative to this is him offhandedly mentioning the way don makes him feel to emma and norman (i am looking away from emmas memory loss i do not see it <3) n being like 'yeah that's weird huh. anyway' and they just sit there like. i know what you are

it's not that don is oblivious, at least not to his own feelings. i think it might take him a bit longer to realize his feelings for ray because he's just. always allowed himself to love everyone so much more openly and freely than ray has. don has soo much love that he is constantly giving to others that he doesn't really. see his constant desire to be near ray as anything unusual for a while. he does notice how uncharacteristically shy he gets around ray, and his thought process was probably a gradual shift from 'well i didn't really get to have a bond with ray like everyone else growing up so i don't really know what he's okay with' to 'well of course i'm nervous. ray's so cool and smart and amazing so anyone would be nervous. this is true' he's a dork but he does figure it out eventually <3

after getting to the human world they naturally start hanging out with each other a lot more. once they both have some idea of their own feelings they take every chance they can to hang out together because being around each other just feels so nice. they're very sweet <3

i talked abt this in the tags of the post that prompted this ask hsfgfg but its really sweet to me so!! i think after ray's reaction to the hug in chapter 148 don makes sure to be more aware of and respectful of ray's boundaries regarding physical touch. he tries to make his intentions clear before hugging him and give ray a chance to say no if he doesn't want to be touched at the moment. the sheer amount of affection don had to give was really overwhelming for ray at first, but as they hang out more he slowly becomes more comfortable with don's touch and eventually builds up the confidence to start initiating contact himself as well <3

adding on to that last sentence, don has no idea how to react to this at first. he is so much more used to giving others affection than receiving it that when ray holds his hand for the first time his brain just factory resets. it's not like he's not used to receiving affection at all, but he's just. a very affectionate person so when someone, especially ray, initiates instead he just gets super emotional <3 it is not hard to make don emotional and ray is at least partially responsible for 3 separate instances of don crying happy tears in the manga so. he just loves him very much ok

don would probably be the one to confess his feelings! it was something he spent days hyping himself up for and then finally did on one of their hangouts. i can imagine don stumbling over his words even though he rehearsed them several times and ray doesn't know what he's talking about and he's trying not to laugh because man he's just so cute. and then don takes a breath and just gently takes ray's hands and says 'i like you, ray. i've liked you for a really long time.' and ray is just so taken aback he's just. absolutely speechless. and don asks if he'd like to go on a date sometime and ray just loses his composure completely and starts crying and all he can manage is a shaky 'yeah...' and don is a little shocked because its so rare to see ray cry like this but then he's just so overjoyed he hugs ray as tightly as he can and they both start laughing and AAAUGH. sorry what. my demons

it might take them a little bit after they first start dating to really 'act' like a couple? they're both new to the concept of dating as a whole and have no idea what they're doing but i don't think it'd take too long for them to sort of go back to the level of comfort and familiarity they had before. ray has some lingering feelings of self-doubt over whether he really 'deserves' someone as amazing as don but being around him just feels so right and don's affection is typically enough to reassure him at least a little. if he ever voiced these feelings to don i think don would go off on a massive tangent about everything he loves about ray and how he means the world to him and probably get a little too emotional and ray wouldn't really know how to react but he would be touched to say the least and he'd probably think about don's words a lot for. a very long time

while a lot of don's poor self-esteem is resolved over the course of the series, i think he might still experience some self-doubt on rare occasions as well, and he might have trouble opening up to ray about his problems at first. don has always been very open about his emotions, but when it comes to ray he knows all the shit he's been through and his own issues might seem. silly when compared to ray's? he isn't afraid ray would judge him, but he also doesn't really feel like he's 'justified' in causing ray to worry about him when he's been through so much already. but at this point ray knows don well enough to sense something is wrong and when he gets don to eventually tell him this he just explains that he never wants don to feel like his needs aren't as important as his own, and that he wants to be there for don the same way don's always there for him. then he pulls him close and softly says 'tell me what's wrong, don.' and don just breaks and ray just holds him and lets him get it out and its just. very very sweet jdastsadgdsghgdfggfdfghjg. i;m unwell

plagiarizing my tags from my most recent art of them but their first real kiss was initiated by ray! theyre probably cuddling a bit and just talking about whatever and he doesn't really realize what he's doing until he has don's face cupped in his hands and suddenly his heart is pounding and his hands are shaking and he can't even make eye contact and he just says really quietly, 'can i kiss you?' and don is so absolutely awestruck that all he can manage to do is pull ray closer and nod and its just so. it's about the little burst of confidence after a childhood of self-loathing its about the soft tenderness they both deserve so so much it's about [stares into the ocean

OKAY those were long (<- unwell) time for some more general hcs [strikes a pose]

ray is gay and don is bi! don's line about wanting to date a cute girl in s1 plays and then ray walks into the frame and don's like oh. a cute boy is also good

they're also t4t because all of my ships are t4t. you understand

while i mentioned him being more mindful of ray's boundaries, don is just soo physically affectionate that he doesn't even realize he's doing it sometimes and it makes ray's head spin. i can imagine them walking together and don just sort of grabbing ray's hand without really thinking about it and it taking him a good moment to notice 'hey ray's face looks a lot redder than usual wonder what's up with that' and then taking just a bit longer before being like OH. fool <3

MORE PHYSICAL AFFECTION YAYY anyway ithink they cuddle a lot. ray is 'i need to be swaddled and snug at all times' autism and don is 'if im not constantly holding or snuggling something i'll die' autism and thats why they are the perfect couple

once they do get more comfortable being a couple i think cheek kisses become a very common occurrence among the usual affection, especially from don. they both get flustered pretty easily, but when don kisses ray's cheek he just melts. this also creates a scenario where if don's on ray’s left he'll push ray's fringe to the side so he can kiss him. don did this once and whispered 'my emo boy <3' and ray almost died of laughter

adding onto that last scenario, don likes to think of the most unbearably cheesy pet names specifically to get ray's reaction. if it came to serious ones though i don't think don would use them that often if at all because he just really loves ray's name <3 ray lovingly calls don a dork all the time though

don really likes playing with ray's hair. goes with my hc that ray grows his hair out a bit and his hair is also probably really soft and don loves it. the feeling of don running his fingers through his hair is really calming and comforting to ray and don's probably the only one who could get away with touching it for any extended period of time

they have movie nights with emma, norman and gilda (because im weak for the 'group of best friends ends up living together' trope) and they all usually end up falling asleep in a big pile on the couch. ray usually snuggles up against don and ends up using him as a pillow <3

speaking of friends i have a really funny hc where it was very very common for ray to playfully tease norman when he had a crush on emma, so once he notices how hopelessly smitten ray is with don, norman is an absolute menace. they are the besties ever to me

don absolutely adores ray's singing. ray hums to himself while cooking and don will just come up behind him and wrap his arms around him and just listen to his voice, and sometimes he'll ask ray to sing for him and listen with this look of just. pure adoration <3 ray's not that confident in his singing and i think it's something that's very personal to him as he really only did it as a coping mechanism growing up, but seeing the way don lights up when he sings is really really special to him and i think it'd get him to appreciate his own voice more as well <3

on the other hand ray really loves don's laugh. it's just very loud and unrestrained and genuine like everything else don does and ray's heart absolutely melts when he hears it. ray will find any excuse to make don laugh <3

ray has come a long way with his healing in the years since the gracefield escape, but he still has lasting scars from that trauma that will never fully go away and don will drop everything to comfort him through his more emotional moments and the rare panic attack. it means a lot to ray that he's finally able to cry freely and openly and don will hold him as tight as he can and run his fingers through his hair and listen to him for as long as he needs. im very emotionally stable about this incase you were wondering

ray is a serial clothing thief. don's sweaters just feel warmer somehow <3 ray will walk into the room in the morning wearing a pink t-shirt with a bunny on it and the others instantly know it's not his HDSFG

don canonically gets warm really easily so i think if they were somewhere outdoors and ray got cold don would give him his jacket without question. ray felt bad leaving don without anything to keep himself warm and knew don wouldn't take no for an answer so he settled on giving don his scarf as a compromise. don got really really emotional over ray offering him such an important comfort item and tried to decline but ray also wouldnt take no for an answer so he ended up accepting it <3 it meant a lot to both of them

don is prone to going on long enthusiastic rants when he’s excited about something and his joy is so contagious for ray he just can't help but smile and laugh along with him. he can absolutely talk ray's ears off and ray adores every word and sometimes they might even start happy stimming together <3 autistic love its everything to me. you understand

OKAYTHATS. ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT FOR NOW <3<3<3 i definitely have more but i'd have to dig for them and i feel this post is really long so <3 but yeah they mean a lot to me. here's a kinda old little doodle i'm still really fond of as prize for reading this ridiculously self-indulgent rant

Part 3 Twin AU

inspo : @moodysunflowerbaby

you have only been able to think about your last reaction with them. was that the last time you would talk? will yoi ever be friends again? are they ok? why couldn’t i have been a better friend? it plagued tour mind, flying above you like a storm cloud. you wanted to talk with them but how could you? there was nothing you could think of to fix this mess.

you were sitting in your room watching a movie when you hear a quite nock on your door. absentmindedly you call “come in” you didnt even turn to see who it was. “ hey” you heard behind you causing confusion. your parents never say “hey” and the voice was oddly familiar? you turn to see miles and mylo standing with a plastic bag in hand.

all you could do was stare “ could we talk?” miles asked. you were still caught off guard so you simply nodded pausing the movie and sitting up. the both take a seat on the edge of the bed. you sat in silence for what felt like forever till you heard mylo sigh “ im sorry for jumpin to a conclusion the way i did, i felt the a jerk the moment i left. you onyl wanted us to past with the best score and if miles could have helped i should have been open to the idea. im sorry” he says sincerely gazing into your eyes searching for what you could have been feeling.

“ im so sorry as well i had no right to say that, i was upset and i just didn’t know how to deal with my emotions i didn’t mean to upset you, or take it out on you could you forgive me, forgive us?”

you stay silent “ why didnt you just tell me about what happened, i would have been there for you guys. i thought thats what friends do for each other i tell you guys whats going on with me but the moment i ask about you its like im not allowed to know. and miles you asked me if i wanted to hang out after school and literally stood me up? and then i saw you hanging out with some blond girl hours later? why would you do that?”

you say with pain lacing your voice. mylo was kind of shocked he had no idea about this. miles sighs “ i habnt seen her in a long time we were just catching up and i didnt mean to forget i was stressed and busy im so so sorry.”

you couldn’t forgive him just like that… could you? “ it really hurt. and i don’t deserve to be treated like that, but if the both of you will be honest with me” you pause “ we can be friends again” you say with a soft smile “ thank you we appreciate it, and so will our mom” miles laughs “ oh so she made you guys come here? i knew it there is no way you came here willingly.” they laugh before realizing what they brought “ oh and we bought you these on the way here” mylo says handing you a bag of your favorite snacks “ thank you, you guys didn’t have to do this” “ wellllll we kind of did” miles says before scratching his neck.

“ so we good right?” mylo asks “ yea were good”

the end

btw you end up with mylo having a happy ever after 😊

part 2 of chapter one is almost done for this fic so lets celebrate with some headcanons!

• Eugene has introduced Leofric to the family once, and Leofric stuck around for a little while before going back to his duties as an Earl. He and Leofric still exchange letters to catch up from time to time

• Gavus fell in love first, but Eugene fell in love harder. I think this is practically canon, but I want to like establish this bc i like it

• Gavus is too paranoid to keep contact with the guy who spoke to him while he was imprisoned, but he hopes that guy is doing well.

• Eugene and Gavus enjoy dancing together, but Eugene enjoys flourishing and showing it off a little while Gavus just enjoys the act

• That being said, Eugene did try to teach Lucilla how to dance and it ended up with her accidentally learning how to dance badly on purpose instead. The session devolved from proper skill to “do you wanna know how to do a sprinkler?” “YES.”

• Gavus and Liberta watching, throwing out comments and Eugene doesn’t need commentary from the peanut gallery thank you

• Liberta attempted to bake Once. Only one time.

• He ended up somehow making molten cookies and he swears they’re edible but not too sure chief that sounds pretty inedible to me

• He’s not allowed to bake anymore (ironic considering he cooks, but cooking with supervision is not baking unsupervised)

• Lucilla ate the molten cookies, rather she ate one

• She could confirm they were inedible and she’s pretty sure she chipped a tooth somewhere in that cookie

• Gavus does the laundry but Eugene mends the clothes. because Eugene cannot be trusted to remember which soaps are for which fabrics and to not mix whites with colored fabric.

• There is a suspiciously pink shirt lying around because of that

• Lucilla back at it again with her disney princess dreams this time she got:

• A deer

• An ocelot

• Two mice found in the kitchen

• A snake

• Another snake

• This snake’s poisonous Lucilla

• She found a squirrel

• Chipmunks she wanted to name Alvedon, Simone and Theodore

• And a rat

• Gavus and Eugene “where IDD YOY GET THESE????”

• Lucilla “the forest :]”

• She does not get to keep them (justice for Lucilla)

• Lucilla and Liberta DEFINITELY get into petty sibling squabbles (“She stole my hairbrush!” “Yeah well you weren’t using it right then and we share the same cooties so!” “It’s the etiquette of not stealing people’s hairbrushes, Lucilla!”)

[dnptheinfinity]

because of the ice ado cancellation and all the yoi art i’m seeing i’m thinking about the show again and i remembered i made victor, yuri and yurio is the sims in like 2018, i should dig them up from the depths of my gallery and give them a 2024 makeover

Birds of a Feather

CisFem Reader x Marco

CW: Violence, blood, language, adult themes and scenes. 18+ only

Summary: Life has not been kind to you. After a string of bad relationships, you're a little jaded and a little depressed in all honestly. The worst day of your life seems to be the turning point, but the roller coaster ride that follows could either throw you soaring free, or have you caged forever?

Chapter 5: Nameless Firebird

“I really appreciate this.” You feel a little like a broken record at this point, but you’re not sure what else you can say. “I feel like I’m managing to show you all my worst traits like some gallery of flaws.”

He chuckles a little, the sound slipping over you soothingly. “You’ll have to be far more direct, Miss (Y/N) if you’re trying to run me off, yoi.”

You feel the rush coil in your stomach a little and laugh nervously. “Ah, haha, yeah I have no qualms about being direct, I promise.”

“You sleep at your office often?” He prompts, shifting the conversation as he turns off the main streets and heads toward your place.

“Not enough to have my own apartment key or anything,” you answer teasingly. “But often enough the owner brought in breakfast for me this morning.”

“It’s good to have a boss that looks out for you like that.” He muses, and you can see the smirk on his face as you laugh.

“Ah, like one who picks up five drinks on his own to keep his staff happy?” You prompt.

“Vet staff operate on coffee and purring kittens.” He assures you.

Oh, to be a purring kitten. You muse to yourself, imagining how you could fit at least six kittens on his shoulders. Eight, if his shoulders weren’t so relaxed.

His car pulls into your, thankfully empty, driveway and you step out as he puts the car in park. He doesn’t make a move to exit so you duck down and look over at him.

“Come inside.” You say, not offering up a choice so much as making a demand. “I’m certain you’re enough of a gentleman you’ll stay put in the living room while I get cleaned up and changed.”

You see his ear go red from your current viewpoint and he smiles. “There’s no easy way to argue that, yoi.” He says with a smile, pulling the keys free of the ignition and stepping out of the car.

You smile as you lead him up to the front door. “More efficient when there’s no room left for argument.”

He chuckles at the statement as you open the door. Wooden floors, a more modern design, and not much aside from basic furniture and some sparse decorations. Your home was a little spartan, but you didn’t really spend much time at home, so you hadn’t seen much of a reason to really dive into it.

It was functional. Functional enough to play host to a dozen people if needed, but any more than that and you’d have to rent extra chairs and maybe consider paper plates.

“Let me start up some coffee before I hop in the shower.” You offer, heading to the kitchen. “The TV’s single remote controlled, I just have a basic package, but you’re welcome to watch something.”

“It’ll be nice to enjoy the quiet,” he assures you. “You don’t have to make coffee just for me.”

“Mm, well, I’m currently all out of kitten purrs, so this’ll have to do.” You say with a smile, pulling down a couple of mugs. “Some fresh coffee will be nice after my shower anyway, so it’s not just for you.”

“In that case, I gladly accept.” He chuckles softly, staying at the edge of the kitchen. “It’s a nice place you have here.”

“Thanks. It was one of the first places built, we had to gut it and rebuild it just before I moved in. Don’t compliment the cleanliness of it,” you say with a smile. “I pay for a service. Or do compliment it,” you add. “They do a great job.”

You point to a sky-blue mug. “You can use this one when the coffee’s ready. There’s sugar, and some creamer in the fridge, but I don’t think you’ll need them.”

“Oh?”

“Mm, two black coffees,” you say, giving him a grin. “Starsky and Hutch don’t strike me as coffee aficionados, your receptionist was probably the macchiato, and for completely different reasons I bet you and the laconic vet both prefer black coffee.”

The look of surprise on Marco’s face turns to a smile and then he laughs. “That’s pretty impressive, yoi.” Those hooded blue eyes of his catch your gaze, and for a split second you can almost feel something akin to talons wrapping around you, but the sensation passes as swiftly as it struck.

“What would those different reasons be, I wonder?”

You grin mischievously for a second before walking toward him, and then patting him on the arm before you continue walking by. “Gonna take that shower now, I hope you enjoy the coffee, Dr. Marco.”

You walk down the hall to your room, stepping inside and closing the door behind you before you exhale into the room.

“Hhhhholy hells.” You sigh into the room, your heart pounding in your chest. You’d flirted before, with more people than just Kid, who had – admittedly – been the center of your verbal jousts for some time. Dealing with Marco wasn’t like finding a new opponent, it was like you’d moved into an entirely new bracket and were scrambling.

You had a sinking feeling that what control you thought you were holding onto was simply out of the man’s benevolence. That relaxed posture of his, the easy way he did everything and the quiet confidence that rolled off of him were dangerous. They were comfortable, and comforting for that matter. It was almost like you were floating peacefully on the water’s surface, completely unaware of the shark swimming by a few feet below.

When Kid pulled you in you knew you were getting tugged. But with Marco…

He could knock on your door and ask to join you for your shower, and you wouldn’t say no. You didn’t even let Kid past your front door for months when you two first started dating. It wasn’t a matter of whether or not you trusted him, so much as the act of letting him into your house was equal to letting him into your bedroom.

That’s just how it was between the two of you.

The tension was going to kill you. The desire was going to get you into trouble. You almost wanted to just poke your head out into the hall and ask him to leave. He would. He would with little more than a thank you for the coffee and a tilt of his head.

You’d never see him again. You were certain of it. That’s all the push it would take, and he would be gone, and if you came into the animal hospital, things would be in your control. Professional or confessional.

How easy it would be, to let your desires pass your lips and have that first, sweet, tentative – gods no it wouldn’t be tentative. It would be so soft and sure and –.

You bang your head on the side of the shower. The only thing stopping you from braining yourself into unconsciousness is that there’s only one person who would find you passed out with a welt on your forehead, and honestly you had shown enough of your ass to him already.

Rather your ass was about the only thing you hadn’t shown him. Right now you weren’t too keen on the idea because you really didn’t want that first time to be a collection of unfortunate events like your first meeting had been.

Though, had it really been that unfortunate? Aside from effectively saving that dog, you did meet someone who saw you puke before he even heard your name, and was interested in getting to know you. Seemed interested? Had to be interested.

You level a sharp stare at absolutely no one and nod your head. This is not some sort of misunderstanding. He’s not simply being nice, or polite. There are several ways he could repay your, uh, kindness? That didn’t involve taking you out to dinner.

You really felt as though the entire series of events had left things level and settled. There was, as far as you were concerned, nothing truly left owed one way or another.

Pulling a t-shirt on to go with the cargo jeans you’d already slipped into, you towel dried your hair one more time before walking back out into the living room.

Marco was standing in your living room, looking out the large windows that gave a nice view of the backyard and forest beyond. He was sipping coffee from the sky-blue mug you had indicated to him earlier and apparently, truly, just enjoying the quiet.

“See anything good?” You prompted, pouring a cup of coffee for yourself.

“A few rabbits and some birds.” He admits, turning toward you. “It’s quite the relaxing view.”

“Mm, houses close enough together I know the neighbors by sight, city far enough away there’s a few good hours every day where you don’t hear a single car.” You take a drink of coffee. “Perfect.”

“Your coffee is very good.” He says with a smile, drinking the last of his. “Is there anywhere you’d like to go for dinner?”

“Mm, there are a few places I like.” You admit, smiling at him after you take another drink.

He gives you an expectant look for a moment and then smiles. “Ah, I’m being left on my own.”

“You’re paying the entire tab,” you jab. “It’s only fair you choose. Ah, but still nothing fancy.” You add hastily and are rewarded with another amused smile.

“We have plenty of time still, I would love that look under the hood.” You are being a bit of a brat, but it’s refreshing to tease someone who takes it in stride.

“It would be my pleasure, yoi.”

The two of you get your shoes on, but you forego your coat for now. Marco pops the hood for you and holds it up. You look for the arm to keep it up and quickly realize it either doesn’t exist or broke at some point.

“No arm has to make working on it a pain,” you say leaning in the other side and looking around. It’s almost immaculate inside the engine.

“Had a custom hydraulic arm, but it gave out a couple weeks ago, yoi. Ace nearly decapitated himself forgetting that it was busted so I took it out until the replacement comes in.” He explains.

“Ace is?”

“The youngest.” He says and you give a soft ah, as you keep peering around.

“How often do you clean this engine?”

“Two or three times a year, yoi.” He answers, shifting a bit and resting the hood more on his shoulder. “I’ll rinse the snow and salt off in the winter every day if it’s bad enough, but my brothers help. They’ll wash it pretty often and I just fill in the gaps.

“It was Pops’ car first, so everyone looks out for it, even if I’m the only one that really drives her.” He admits.

“He took good care of her before you inherited it.” You say, coming around closer to where Marco was. “That engine isn’t original, but that’s not surprising.”

“You really like cars.” He muses.

You smile and chuckle a little. “I like old cars.” You clarify. “Seeing how things were, how they’ve progressed. There’s a challenge in keeping something going that isn’t easy to find parts for. I mean, sadly, my car’s in the shop getting the overhaul of its life. But that old girl was mostly rust and dreams when I bought her.”

“I look forward to seeing her.” He says and you realize you’re practically up against him, having shifted all the way around the hood.

Marco moves enough to let you get by him. He’s so tall he’s able to arch over you and keep hold of the hood.  You’re grateful you left your coat in the house, you’d be sweating right now if you had it on.

“Me too. Much as I like old cars, my practical knowledge is completely useless. I can’t restore her, or fix her, so I have to rely on a trusted mechanic.” You admit with a little irritation in your voice.

“Not a friend?”

“Merf.” You make a noncommittal noise, and finally step back letting Marco lower the hood. “Kid’s not not a friend, but he’s a trusted mechanic before much else. We were kind of like a car with square tires.” You muse, giving a clipped laugh. “As long as one of us was on edge, we could go forward. It gave a false sense of functionality.”

“And now?”

“Mm, to keep with the analogy, now we each have our own cars. He’s got Victoria – and I do mean a car – and I have my old Firebird.”

“A nameless Firebird, huh?” Marco prompts as you turn and meet his gaze. There’s something in his eyes that seems even more intrigued than a few moments ago.

“Even if she had one,” you start, heading back toward the house. “After all the work Kid’s going to do to her, she’d need a new name.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah, in honor of her rebirth or something. A mark of survival, a statement of resilience.” You continue, kicking off your shoes and stepping further into the hallway. “Unless you’re crazy hungry and want to leave right now, I just want to finish my coffee before we go.”

Marco takes off his shoes and follows behind you. “Take your time. Did you have any names in mind, yoi?”

“Well, I could start calling her my phoenix, but that’s a bit on the nose, especially for a Firebird, of all cars.” You say with a laugh. “Maybe I’ll just name her Tori-chan.”

Marco has his hand over his face when you look over at him, his lips pressed together as he takes in a deep breath slowly and lets it out just as slowly.

“You alright?” You question, tilting your head before taking a gulp of your nearly cold coffee. Good as you were at making a cup of coffee, it wasn’t so hot when it was cold.

“I’m having a small crisis.” He admits, lowering his hand enough to look at you over his palm, leaving his mouth covered. “What do you know about devil fruits?”

You raise your eyebrows a little and tilt your head. “More than most, I imagine. People I work with have eaten one. Kid too. They’re not like, walking around with signs around their necks or anything, but Kid’s certainly not shy about his. They taste awful, they’re incredibly rare, but it seems like pockets of devil fruit users end up congregating, almost like the fruits are a draw to one another.”

You set your coffee cup down and lean against the pantry door, folding your arms and looking over at Marco.

“You’ve eaten one as well, I’m guessing.” You state, all the answer you need is in eyes that don’t look away from yours. “It doesn’t bother me, if you’re worried about that. You don’t even have to tell me what it is until you want to.”

“… I appreciate that.” He says heavily, letting his hand drop all the way down. “I haven’t used it since Pops died, and the clinic opened. Well, I haven’t used it openly.”

You’re quiet, lips pressed together for a moment.

“You have questions.” He says, an easy smile on his face again.

“A great many, but I can stow my curiosity.” You assure him, straightening up and smiling brightly. “Dinner, then?”

“It would be my pleasure, yoi.” He agrees, bowing slightly.

I've just updated my INPRNT!

INPRNT is an online on-demand print shop. Most of the art I had at Anime NYC is available on there, for those of you who weren't able to go!

My print that sold out of every size is available there too!

The easiest way to navigate it is through my Collections Page HERE, which has all of my available art sorted by fandom:

[BF] = Banana Fish

[OP] = One Piece

[Others] = Other Fandoms

[SW] = Star Wars

[YOI] = Yuri on Ice

Please note: These prints are NOT the same as the ones I had at the con. The prints I had at the con were posters that I personally printed with a trusted printer and quality-checked and had full-bleed printing. On my online store, INPRNT handles all of the printing, and product types are limited by what they offer. They are very high quality, just different from what I had at the con! Also, if anything goes wrong with your order, INPRNT customer service can help you.

There's a Cyber sale going on until Monday 11/28/2022, so please check it out if you couldn't attend the con or couldn't get the prints you wanted there!

Store Link Again!

Gorgeous Ghostly

If you’ve been around the YOI fandom for even just a bit, you’ve surely seen the beautiful and eye-catching work of @ghostlybl. Her work is always filled with happiness, beautiful light, and infectious smiles. With some of the finest linework you’ll ever see, these pieces are like crisp snapshots of pure joy.

So it comes as no surprise that her favorite things to draw is...

Mostly fluff/ cuddling (i love fluff 😂)

Just how does she do it? How does the magic work?!

Secret??...I do lots of sketching layers so when I work on the line art it'll be easier to follow. For coloring I do cell shading so it'll be quicker xD and lastly, take your time. No need to rush, unless you're procrastinating. Look back at your whole work once in a while too, to see mistakes. ;)

Visit her tumblr for more crisp cuteness!

You can even commission your own piece of adorable for just ko-fi!
