hello, everyone! it's been a while! i want to start by thanking all of you for the good wishes and my clients, who have been nothing but patient and understanding of my complicated situation at home. thank you, truly! 🙇‍♂️

as of now, i've finished all my commissions and delivered the specific GFXs back to my clients that have sent in their orders through google forms! since i'm going on a surgery spree soon, i'll only be able to work on more complex modification requests by august~september. this also means i'll sadly have to delay the re-opening of my commissions to that approximate timeframe, but all interested clients that have given me their names for my waitlist have their slots secured! you can check if your name is on my list by clicking on this link. if you'd like to be included on my waitlist for those months, please let me know through IMs!

as the days of my surgeries approach, i'll spend the next couple of weeks posting some portfolio highlights, colouring PSDs, icon borders and divider packs. who knows, there may be more things coming!

thank you all very much for your continuous support! i hope you guys can enjoy the upcoming GFXs i post. cheers! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

so alyse's future husband comes from house royce, interesting! also i don't know if i understood correctly but does trysta's title allude to her becoming pregnant after just one night with her husband thus contrasting alyse's infertility? 👀 speaking of tarly, im really curious about his history with alyse. i wonder if there's some sort of link between myrrh, bryor deeming her unworthy of being tarly's bride and his absence from his appointed wife's side 🤔

i cannot TELL you how excited i am to introduce alyse's future husband. i would've loved having her marry aegon, but it would've messed up too much in terms of canon and all that happens there. that said, her marriage comes hand-in-hand with her relationship with aegon. :3c ALAN, THOUGH. my stupid stupid man. i love him so much. i'm frothing at the mouth over him because i want to introduce him into the fic so badly, even though he's only really involved in the first stretch. i referred to trysta as a first time mother because this is her first child! ♡ that said, his absence does have something to do with alyse, just as much as it's trysta's choice to be close to her mother for comfort's sake!

#fic: in the ripe and ruin #type: replies #balancing not wanting to give much away with being excited about my fic is HARD...... !!

❪ ˙˖ ♡ . 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬.

1. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚?

Due to his job as a Saint for the Holy Church of Heiliger, Koui is required to smell... pure, for lack of a better word. Either giving off a scent of baby’s breath (the flower) or aromatic oils and incense (like frankincense and myrrh). He also has a tendency to smell rather sweet due to the fact he generally always has some type of sweet treat on hand either for himself during his travels or for the children he interacts with on a daily basis.

Outside of his duties as a Saint, he tends to have a more... seductive and sultry-like smell to him, such as vanilla or jasmine, in order to help attract new (or recurring) clients into his company for his main line of work as a sex worker (cause believe it or not, that Saint crap is a side-job).

2. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚’𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚?

Koui’s hands are actually quite delicate, very small and soft to the touch, perhaps even a little boney in certain places. This is mainly due to the fact he was born prematurely and has been ill ever since he was born, that and he isn’t the best when it comes to taking care of his actual health but always makes sure to look desirable for the sake or others and his job. His nails are a nice length, not too long but also not too short and they always adorn the color purple (aka his trademark color).

Often times when he touches others, or they grab onto his hands, they note just how smooth they are and generally mistake them for a woman’s if touched from behind (though this had pretty much become a common reoccurrence when it used to be a running gag).

3. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙙𝙖𝙮?

In truth, Koui has a rather bad habit of not eating when he’s supposed to (not because he doesn’t want to but because he either forgets or becomes too busy), and when he does actively eat, it’s generally junk, such as a piece of chocolate or maybe even a slice of a tiny cake. He does eat fruit as well, but that’s more or less something that he chooses to snack on from time to time instead of making an actual meal (like a fruit salad or something) out of it. The few times that he does have actual food with him is when actively travels between the realms, but even then he tends to come across people who don’t have food and ends up giving it to them out of the kindness of his heart.

4. 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚?

Yes. Koui is actually a very skilled singer and is often the one within the Holy Church of Heiliger to preform the religious harmonies (what the songs are called in Mir Ender) during the start and end of the sermons given by Priest Afriel. He has been singing from the time he was a child, being taught by his mother (who many said had the voice of an angel), thus making him talented in said skill. There are even a few times where, during his travels in my manga, where people mistake him for a traveling performer (whenever they happen to hear him sing). He has a very... light(?) and sultry sounding voice whenever he speaks, so singing sounds almost exactly the same as his natural voice.

5. 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙨?

He has a few, not too many, but one of the main ones is when he starts fiddling with his fingers or a piece of clothing (be it his or a random piece). He also has a tendency to mess with his hair a lot and push it behind his ear when he’s in a more shy-like anxious mood. When he’s annoyed he becomes extremely sarcastic, which many people don’t always pick up right away, and often insults or degrades others whenever he grows angry or irritated (which comes as a surprise to many due to how kind-hearted he normally is).

6. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 / 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧?

Koui has two different styles to matched accordingly to the jobs he preforms. The first one being his attire for his position as a Saint for the Holy Church of Heiliger where he often wears white and cream colored robes adorned with golden trinkets, along with something that is akin to a golden crown that one would wear upon their head when they rule over a specific area. White flats or the classic wooden block sandals are also part of said outfit and sometimes he even carries around something that appears to be a long scepter-like object laced with golden trim.

Now as for his job as a sex worker, he has a tendency to wear some black and/or purples, along with a lot of... bondage. Things like corsets, garter belts, collars, sometimes even a type of handcuff-like object that dangles from his back pocket. He also wears heeled shoes as well, not because he just wants to look appealing, but because he sometimes uses them to crush the heads of the “clients” he has that are clearly disgusting people (this is also something he does as a Saint when he’s supposed to get rid of certain sinners). Sometimes one can even see a spiked whip attached to his belt when he’s not wearing his usual purple cloak over everything.

7. 𝙄𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚?  𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝?  𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙨𝙤?

Koui can absolutely 100% be an extremely affectionate person to those that he loves and cherishes (as seen with Crystal when they interact during the time they’re together), so much so to the point that he would literally do anything and everything for them. They want hug? He’s got you. They want a kiss? You bet. Wanna get married or have/adopt children (even though he’s somewhat iffy about kids)? He’s ready. Hell, even if they just wanna lay beside him in silence and maybe hold his hand? He’s all for it. Koui lives for love and affection since he wasn’t given any by anyone other than his mother (and siblings), at least until she died, and then he was just overwhelmed by constant negativity and abuse/neglect; so he wants to/tries to give all the affection he never got/missed out on.

Now if you’re someone he isn’t close to, he won’t be cruel to you, but he also won’t actively/openly be affectionate towards you. He will be kind and nice to you, but that’s about it. There will be no hugging or hand holding or even any general indication that you have his attention for more than five seconds. He will, on great occasion, praise someone and give them a simple pat on the head as encouragement (much like how most guys in anime head pat the girls who are like sisters/little sisters to them). As for someone he dislikes or hates, you wouldn’t get even so much as a breadcrumb from him even if you were starving. That’s just how fast he can turn cruel/cold-hearted. Hell, he might even just laugh at you if you’re suffering, this goes double for those who have actually seriously wronged him.

8. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙞𝙣?

Koui actually has a hard time sleeping at night due to constant nightmares so he’s generally awake for a good while before he’s able to actively sleep, though when he does, he generally sleeps curled up in a ball against his pillow. This is more of a habit than his actual way of sleeping as he uses this as a subconscious method to protect himself (even if there’s no one else around him at the time). Once he finally becomes more... stable(?)... he starts sleeping more normally (for lack of a better word), often facing towards the person he’s sleeping with (and if he’s sleeping alone he bundles himself in his blanket.

9. 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢?

No. Considering how light and agile Koui is, one would not be able to hear him moving about in another room. He’s spent years training his stealth, especially during his time as a sex worker, so that way when he had to kill certain sinners (that he purposely took as clients) they won’t see it coming. He also makes for a good spy because of this.

hello everyone! i wanted to start off by saying that i'm very grateful for everyone's patience and continuous understanding in my incredible delay in getting back to IMs and my unusual slowness in getting back to commissions. 🙇‍♂️ i've been having really difficult times at home taking care of my rehabilitating older sister and my elder father, on top of dealing with some depressive episodes. for this reason, focusing on commissions has been a real challenge. however, i still intend on completing all of my queued orders and delivering awesome gfxs to the best of my ability! this post is being made solely to inform all my clients that it may yet take a while longer for me to get back to them. i sincerely apologise.

for this reason, all clients i haven't returned to with finished products will receive a total of 35% discount off their order. more extra revisions will also be available free of cost and renegotiation of pricing, styles, etc., will also be open to discussion, shall my clients want to. i hope this can start making up for your generous patience!

thank you so much once again for your patience and i deeply apologise for this inconvenience!

hello, i'm not dead and i hope all of you have been doing well! ♡ this month has been very chaotic for a number of reasons, but we're pushing through!

however, when i had just sat down to work on commissions, i had the misfortune of seeing my computer slowly but surely dying in front of me. my screen went from green to black to maroon to white in a matter of seconds ; w ;

i've already contacted a friend to try help me out with computer parts, but this might slow down some of my commissions and queue considerably. i'll reach out to all my clients about this so we can talk things out !!

once this issue is resolved, i shall continue with my commissions and post some wips of icon borders and colouring psds.

thank you so much for your patience and patronage! ♡♡♡

#♡: myrrh speaks! * #this is the worst aksjkflgmg #right as when i was working on a comm too

[aedearly]

thank you so much for all the new followers! 🙇 i'll be updating some of my aesthetics soon enough for this blog, as well as opening up pre-commission forms for icon borders, psds and mobile banners, so please look forward to that! some people have already expressed their desire to commission me and will therefore be sent the forms sooner than others, so i you wish to guarantee your commission, please message me!

for now tho, help me decide on my next design!
