Hummingbird II

Backdrop: You and Miles have been best friends since you were babies. Doesn't mean that the friendship never faced hardships. Pairing: e!1610 Miles Morales x fem!spider!reader Warnings: none, probably some grammar errors and my attempt at fluff with the characters. y'know before the inevitable has to happen A's notes: apologies for this not coming out sooner. also, i don't think i clarified in the first chapter that reader is also hispanic. i'll be sprinkling in some spanish words moving forward. if you'd like to be tagged, do let me know in the comments. Translations: a comer = time to eat | amiga = friend (feminine) | mi vida = my life, darling, dear etc. | lo adoro = i adore/love it Word count: 2.5k PREVIOUS | NEXT

After that, you brought up the subject every now and then. You had spotted on his notebook once a quick doodle of you swinging around. It was from a clip he’d seen on the news and thought it was cool. When Araña was brought up, Miles never had anything but good things to say. Always commenting on how cool she looked on a video he’d seen of her stopping robbers or the one time he heard her speak Spanish to an older woman as she was helping cross the street. His words were indirectly helping you to keep going.

You tried harder to salvage the friendship you had with him as you came up on two years of fighting alongside Peter. You had more study sessions together (which you were still sometimes late to) and you did your best to keep him involved in your life.

The study sessions that the two of you had were also becoming more frequent as you were gearing up for entry exams for Brooklyn Visions Academy. If you did well on the exam, you would be entered into a lottery that could land you the opportunity to attend the school. You were naturally academically gifted - didn’t mean you never studied, though. You knew that this could be great for your future. You wanted to make a difference in the world and while Brooklyn Middle had great programs, BVA would be a step in the right direction to get you where you wanted to be for college. Two students would be selected from the lottery after the school year ended.

You and Miles alternated study session locations; the last one being at his place before the entry exam. Mrs. Morales adored having you in her home. She was worried when you didn’t stop by as much; going as far as to ask your father about your well-being (he claimed you were going through puberty and all that ‘teenage angst’). Mr. Morales breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed you and Miles were studying together again; he always thought of you as a good influence on his son. You complimented him in areas where he wasn’t the best and knew him a lot better than they would these days.

The two of you had been studying for the last few hours and you had informed your family that you would be eating dinner at Miles’. Peter also knew that this was an important time for you and let you have the night to study, rest and enjoy your time with Miles.

“I think I’m going to pass out if I have to look at another page of equations.” you groaned on his bed, falling back onto the pillows. Miles could only laugh on the floor, agreeing with your statement completely.

“¡A comer!” Mrs. Morales yelled from the kitchen. You silently thanked the heavens for her impeccable timing.

As you two set the table, the TV flashed to a picture of Spider-Man and ‘Spider-Girl’, reporting on an update of the Green Goblin you two had thwarted the previous night. You didn’t pay much attention to it once you heard them refer to you as Spider-Girl. Oh, how you dreaded them calling you that.

“It’s terrible that he’s gotten a young girl believing that she can just swing in and not take responsibility for her actions!” Mr. Morales hollered at the screen as he helped bring the food to the table.

Miles rolled his eyes at his father, never really agreeing with his dad’s opinions on the superhero. He mumbled under his breath about how he didn’t understand. You quietly chuckled at his statement. He was a cop after all. What you and Peter were doing was helping but technically illegal.

The conversation was quickly squashed before it even started by Rio when she looked at Jeff with a look. She didn’t want to hear any talk about work or superheroes at the table. Dinner was spent eating and catching up with the family that hadn’t consistently seen you in a while. Rio had expressed that you could talk to her if you were going through something, appreciating how much she cared about you like you were her daughter. She always looked out for you. Jeff had asked the two of you about studying for the entry exams. You had shown more enthusiasm for the opportunity to study at BVA more so than Miles. Before the two of them could get into it, you mentioned how much you appreciated Miles helping you study. You knew how hard his father could be, despite meaning well. You always tried to make Miles look good in front of his parents to spare him. Miles bumped his knee with yours under the table as a ‘thank you’. It seemed like the two of you were getting back into the swing of things like before. That night, you ended up sleeping over for the first time in a little over a year. It warmed your heart knowing that your friendship with Miles was settling back to the way it was.

When you were chosen in the lottery with Miles to go to BVA, you couldn’t be happier. You felt as if it was a sign that life wasn’t going be terrible. It signaled to you that you could handle your school and spider-life. Or so you believed.

After you turned 14, you had begun pestering Peter to start trusting you to tag along with him to fight more of the big bad guys he was always on the news about fighting. He didn’t want you messing with the ‘big leagues’ yet as he was worried about your safety. 14 still meant you were a kid, after all. Even if you were 21, Peter would’ve still been hesitant. Last thing he needed was to further traumatize you or possibly get you killed. It wasn’t until you bothered him beyond belief and pinky swore that you’d get out if it got too dangerous. It meant that you’d leave Peter to fight for himself if it got to be too risky to keep you safe. You and Peter both had families that cared about you but his family wasn’t in the dark about the crime-fighting. He’d rather risk himself than have to explain to your family why he couldn’t keep you safe.

Meanwhile, Miles didn’t enjoy being at BVA. He quite loathed it. While he had you there with him, your schedules weren’t the same; three classes in total you had together. The school load was also stressful and it felt as though he didn’t belong. Didn’t mean that you weren’t stressed either. You were practically drowning in your own thoughts of your future on top of the work load from school and your spider duties. You were barely getting any sleep and had debated on letting a few classes suffer for the sake of lessening the stress of your life. You just seemed to have a better way of hiding your stress than Miles - something he commented on when he realized that you were just as stressed but didn’t show it. Thankfully the two of you had lunch together to connect and stress together. It hurt to see that your best friend didn’t see himself fitting into the school. You always told him to give the school a shot because maybe, just maybe, he may like it. He often wished to be back at Brooklyn Middle. He described the school as ‘elitist’ and that neither him or you belonged because it was always going to be you two against the world.

It was a saying the two of you bonded over - especially since it was the name of one of your favorite songs. You had originally voiced the phrase when you were both 10. Already feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders. Miles knew that your home life wasn’t always peaceful and that you took on more than you should’ve, emotionally speaking, for a 10-year-old. Miles always did his best to let you know that he was there for you. Whenever your family stressed you out, you would find yourself on the roof of his building, staring at the sunset, waiting for the sky to turn navy. You two had managed to keep a giant sleeping bag stashed there to lay on and go under when the nights turned cold. It was your own private hiding spot from the world. On particularly stressful days, one or both of you would bring food to eat your feelings.

“Hey Miles,” you turned your head to look at the boy who had just listened to you ramble about what was going on in your headspace for the last 30 minutes.

“Yeah, Y/N?” he kept looking up at the sky.

“Are you scared of the future? What may happen to us?”

“Yes and no,” he chuckled, finally turning to look at you, a small smile creeping in.

“Why’s that?”

“‘Cause, you and I are bound to change and yeah, I’m scared that you won’t want to hang around me at some point buuut,”

“But?”

“I’m also sure that you and I will always be in each other’s lives - can’t get rid of me that easily, Y/N.” he reached over to tickle your side, earning you a laugh as music softly played along with the natural sounds of Brooklyn. Your favorite, 2pac’s ‘Me Against The World’ started playing in the air.

“It’ll be us against the world”

“Always, amiga”

You smiled across the table at the memory. You knew that he could succeed in BVA. He didn’t get lucky, both of you deserved to be here. You didn’t want him to quit when there was a possibility for him to do great things and prove himself to all the other snobs that he was just as smart, if not, smarter than all of them.

“C’mon Miles, you’ve barely given it two weeks,” you started as you played with the food in front of you.

“Now you’re starting to sound like my dad,” he groaned. The comparison stung a bit but you kept your face neutral.

“Y’know you deserve to be here just as much as these other richy-rich kids” you started, not wanting your frustrations to shine through.

“Y/N, if I flunk a couple more tests, they’re sure to kick me out and back to Brooklyn Middle,” he was growing frustrated at not being understood, “all our friends are there.”

“Your friends are there, Miles. Not mine…not anymore.” you were now getting a jump start on an assignment, trying to distract yourself from the loss of a few friends because of your crime fighting. It was a painful reminder of how quickly people were willing to let you go.

“Y/N, I don’t know why you want to stay here so ba-“

“Because I care about my future Miles,” now you were yelling, “you’re not the only one who has had to sacrifice so much to get here!” a few sets of eyes were staring at you and Miles. Not wanting to make more of a scene, you grabbed your belongings and walked out on your best friend who sat there hurt and embarrassed for the second time since arriving at the school (the first being when his dad dropped him off at the beginning of the week).

You didn’t speak to Miles for the remainder of the day. You didn’t mean to yell but you knew what you needed was to patrol with Peter to get away from your schoolwork and all your other stress. It was good that you lucked out and didn’t get a roommate. Well, you did for two days and then she was gone - you don’t know if she couldn’t handle the pressure or something else had happened.

“Tough day at school today?” Peter started from your dorm window.

“Don’t wanna talk about it, Pete.” you grumbled as you pulled your mask on.

He didn’t bring it up for the rest of the night.

The following day, you had run late to your first class and tried multitasking during classes. By the time lunch rolled around, you and Miles still sat together, just didn’t say a word. He was listening to music as he ate while you worked and ate. You know Peter would’ve laughed if he saw the two of you. You were both mad at each other but you were still sitting together eating lunch. It was a testament to your friendship. The two of you could argue and yell at each other but like you both had said various times, you couldn’t get rid of the other easily. It would take a lot to leave each other. You knew in your heart of hearts that you could never leave Miles, no matter what he did. You loved the boy so much and considered him a lifeline. If you cut that, you don’t think you’d survive the world. Miles felt about the same. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to see that the two of you would be in each other’s lives forever; even through the ups and downs of life.

You had your final class of the day with Miles. It was an English Literature class and you had been assigned a personal assignment that your teacher decided was a good way to get to know the students. You were allowed to work alongside a partner for the remainder of class to brainstorm and start the assignment. Quietly, you and Miles made your way to each other, sitting in the back corner of the room on the floor. Miles had taken out his sketchbook to start brainstorming some ideas for how he could title his paper. You had forgotten your sketchbook in your locker. Regardless, you weren’t as skilled as Miles when it came to art. You mainly did little doodles in the margins of your notebooks. Which is why Miles referred to your sketchbook as a ‘doodle book’.

“I’m sorry for losing my cool with you, Miles” You bumped your shoulder with his as you aimlessly doodled on your notepad.

“Don’t worry about it, mi vida.” he was already writing something out on a page that had a few drawings. One that particularly stood out was a side profile of Araña. “I know how hard you worked to be here and I’m more than happy to have you here with me.” he smiled as he continued sketching.

“What’re you going to title your essay?” you rested your head on his shoulder, a natural position the two of you were often seen in.

“I’m not sure yet but I thought of one for yours,” he mindlessly spoke, his attention on getting the design just right for you, “if you like it, of course.”

Your eyes started focusing on the word he had spelled out, the lettering he kept simple, almost delicate.

“Hummingbird?” you eyed him, brows furrowed.

“Yeah…I read somewhere that they bring good luck if you’re visited by one,” he stated as he continued detailing around the lettering, “I think it suits you.” he sheepishly smiled.

You couldn’t help but smile and placed a quick peck on his cheek, “I don’t like it, Miles.” you state with a smile on your lips as you bring your focus back to your notepad.

“Lo adoro”

What brushes do you use?

Oh, you mean my one and only Bencil brush?

I borrowed the settings from someone else years ago but I haven't stopped using it since I got it, It's such an all around brush and it's the perfect Paint Tool SAI brush for me! I use it for sketching and lining and basically and anything in between, it's really helped speed up my whole art process just because of how easy yet effective it is to use, it's great for quick silly sketches and such!

I do have an actual lineart pen that i've had for over a decade now, I haven't used it as much in recent years but it's still a good pen, especially for crisp smooth lineart. It's not so great for quick doodles or sketches but again, very good lineart brush!

I should also mention I have my stabilisers set to 15 at all times, my hands are kinda wonky so having stabilisers helps out a lot, I only really set it to 0 for handwriting, I'm so used to having them on at this point that doing digital art without one feels like hell.

But yea that's about it for brushes, I use the default airbrush and blend tool for some things but they're nothing important, colouring I use the magic wand tool or the fill bucket set to all image so again not that impressive. All my pixel work I actually cheat at which I might explain how to do another time but it's not that hard to replicate.

I'm not sure how well SAI brushes translate over to other programs but anyones welcome to use the same settings as me! Especially the Bencil brush pleeeease give it a go.

#mangos mystery ask box #yea i still use SAI in 2024 you'll have to rip it out of my cold dead hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jadeyarts]

Hi! I was curious about your brushes/brush settings if you feel comfortable sharing them? I love the texture of the brushes you use in your art!

yeah, sure! i just fiddled with the default brushes on the original sai (i don’t use anything else except ms paint sometimes - haven’t upgraded to sai 2, and i havent tried any new programs since 2012) 

this is the brush setting i used mostly in 2014 - i’ve recently started using it again for loser linework

this is a similar one ive been using since 2020, i call him crunchy

this is his brother fuzz, i mostly use him for coloring but sometimes i like to set the layer to binary and use that for linework (youll see it in some of my spongebob doodles) 

these are the hollow twins - perfectly normal pens who i set to hollow sometimes

another fun one for quick sketches and loose lines

nice effect when you switch him to noise and paper, too

Dia’s momma’s info!!!

Hheheheheh I have time n everything so I thought y not

(If there’s spelling r grammar mistakes just know I’m 10 hours into a 12 hour shift n I’m kinda tired 🗿)

Plz read this first!! It has demon info so ur not confused!! And this one!!

Aight so real quick gon get this out the way: Dia’s mom 1000000% had a harem/concubines n The King didn’t care cuz he had 1 too (polygamy is very much practice all over the Devildom n it’s harder to find ppl practicing monogamy)

Before being married she used to be a hells version of a ring fighter n her main sin is a mix of wrath/pride (da stronger the demon the more sins they can hold but that’s 4 another post hehehe)

She actually proposed to the king! N he denied her!! Cuz they like fought r something ya know n she lost n 4 her that was the first time someone beat her n for him it was another Thursday

They ended up getting married 79878900877+ fights later cuz she managed to scratch his butt cheek in battle (which was an accident btw she was going to his Achilles’ tendon) n that was the first time anyone ever got him so 💁 marriage

They actually didn’t have kids (Dia) right off the altar n if you ask anyone their marriage was more like an EXTREME friendship that u can claim on taxes. They did almost everything together n kinda never showed PDA nor looked like they wanted to. They brawled publicly n she helped him with a lot of royal stuff n meetings n things like that. Y’all know them ppl at bars that r super drunk n keep hugging each other n shouting?? Yea that was them but like all the time “ur my best friend! No UR my best friend!!”

They did sleep in the same room 🙇‍♂️

Demons go through heat and ruts in my hc version so that’s how baby Dia came 2 be lmmmaaaooo a lil /happy/ mistake took the kings bff 🥺 (dw she loved her kid 😌 just wasn’t the right time)

Also gonna throw this out there that if she DID survive she wouldn’t approve of the exchange program at ALL. She doesn’t hate humans like Belphie BUT she also doesn’t see them as individuals. More or less humans are one of two things to her 1: food 2: pets. No more no less, she definitely sees them as sheep or even slaughter animals (but she would love-ish MC cuz how couldn’t she love her son’s let 🥹🥹)

Also she doesn’t like Angels at ALL, she wouldn’t even like Lucifer n their siblings just CUZ they used to be angels. She thinks they’re selfish n too high on grace n would give everything she has to punch 1

She also doesn’t entirely like witches/Sorcerers. Thinks they’re weird n try hards

O yea one thing the Devildom didn’t like is that she never wore her crown or dressed in royalty. Even for parties she’d have her horns out but rarely her wings or jewelry. Her reason for this when asked is “everything’s heavy”

Her original form!! (If ya read them links) is!! A small red/pink-ish ball of what looks like yarn surrounded by lil flecks of glitter

That’s rlly I can think abt!! Umm ummm!!! If u have questions like plz ask!! Hehehehe I wanna doodle her more n make more lore n I’ve got a poo brain so questions would help a lot!!!! R if something needs better defining plz ask!! I like doing stuff like this 😭😭

Plus doodieleleieelee

#mydumbstuff #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me! #txt #obey me hc #obey me headcanons #obey me diavolo #obey me demon king #yuh #I actually need so also make a post abt the Devildom n even demons 2 cuz everything different n hard to explain lmmmaaaoo #same w the Angels but I’ll do that later #but yea!! ask questions!! #writing is kinda fun loooolll

ℤ𝕖𝕥𝕒’𝕤 ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕠𝕟𝕤 - 𝕍𝕠𝕝 𝟙

ℂ𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕦𝕣 𝕄𝕒𝕟

Okay. So. I just want to start this by saying I have never really shared headcanons so publicly before and I am nervous 🧍🏽‍♂️

Also!! An important note is that all interpretations are valid, and you don’t have to agree with me! :]

These are just my thoughts!

•◌•◌•〚 ☻ 〛•◌•◌•

So, a bit of canon info that is relevant, for those who don’t know.

Centaur works at a museum, and entered the first annual robot tournament as a means to refurbish it with the prize money. He also likes gambling.

Headcanons under the cut cuz this is a long one

Also I added doodles to make this more fun ig, haha.

•◌•◌•〚 ☻ 〛•◌•◌•

- When first built, the museum Centaur Man is from was pretty well off! It was during this time they commissioned a robotics company to create him as their robotic tour guide. He specializes in Greek myth.

- Centaur is a huge nerd for Greek mythology, being both what he was built to resemble, and his job. When asked questions about it, particularly outside of work, he is likely to ramble for quite some time — though, he ends up embarrassed and apologetic when he realizes he’s been talking for too long.

His favorite character in Greek myth is Chiron, the wise centaur who taught many heroes, such as Heracles and Achilles.

- After some time, the museum became less popular. Centaur Man began looking for ways to get it back on the map, deciding, he’d need a good amount of money to do so. He took up the habit of gambling in hopes to earn this money.

- This hanging around casinos introduced Centaur to alcohol and smoking as well. Habits he quickly picked up on. He unfortunately is quick to get addicted to such things, another fun tidbit he found out about himself during this time.

He chooses to pretend he doesn’t have a problem when around others. Insists he only does these things casually and could stop whenever. This is definitely not true.

He is also pretty rowdy when drunk, which is something he finds himself particularly embarrassed about.

With a habit of jumping from bar to bar- he accidentally ran into Flash Man a few times. These two have since become drinking buddies, and will go out together for alcohol.

Unfortunately, they are both embarrassed of their drunk behavior, and pretend they don’t know each other outside of that.

- The only one who knows about Flash and Centaur’s friendship is Yamato Man

Yamato Man and Centaur are really close. And Yamato will come with centaur to bars and casinos. Not because he actually enjoys them, but more to stop centaur man from getting wasted or losing a bunch of money. Centaur causes problems and Yamato tries to get him out of them. As besties do.

- Working with tourists, Centaur is programmed with the ability to speak several languages. He was actually quite the translator for the MM6 bots before they could all understand each other.

Yamato however, still doesn’t like to speak English much, so he and Centaur communicate largely in Japanese.

- Translating ended up having him spend a lot of time with everyone from the tournament, so he became buds with them all, and tries to keep in contact. He is largely the glue that keeps them together.

- Hair hc! He has long brown hair that matches his tail in color. He keeps it in a braid. Goes down to about his mid back. (Was going to draw this for the post, but still can’t settle on a bang design 💔)

- I hc Centaur as Trans Man. He’s also Omniromantic. Doesn’t have a preference between men or women, but does feel like each is a different experience.

- After the tournament, Centaur found out he had a love for combat. He still gets together with Yamato and Knight for friendly duals.

- No one got any prize money because the tournament was a fake, and centaur is still salty about this.

- Does NOT like being treated like a horse. Do not ask to ride his back. It’s a no. If you’re really close, he might let you, but don’t expect it.

Doesn’t mind genuine questions about being a centaur most of the time tho. But can sometimes get annoyed with it as he does get asked most of them a lot.

Despite this he definitely does make jokes about him being a centaur. And will sometimes laugh if others do. Just depends on how he’s feeling.

•◌•◌•〚 ☻ 〛•◌•◌•

That’s all for now! Lemme know if you guys liked this post 👍

I have a lot of headcanons, so might submit more later if people are interested.

Thanks for reading 😎🤙

[lelelego]

hey i was wondering what program you used and the brushes + settings. your line work is amazing and very aesthetically pleasing, love the comics! <3

hiya!! thank you very much! i have a lot of pride for my line work so that means a lot <3

for most things i use photoshop + a custom textured brush i made with various opacity pressure settings, e.g. for quick doodles/ask answers i use a variation that has a minimum of 70% opacity. and depending on the mood, i'll turn off "shape dynamics" and go for that even-line look.

otherwise i use just the default round brush for colouring and another variation of the textured brush for colours!

The big art dump.

I'm returning a lender iPad soon so I figured I'd treat tumblr as an image hosting website and throw all my recent artwork on here instead.

Theoretically it would be betting for metrics if I spread out my posts instead of doing them all at once... but I don't really plan on becoming a social media influencer anyway and tumblr was supposed to be the one place left that free of all that stuff lol

I'm just happy with the fact I can store these images here ~

Full explanation of the lore n' stuff under the cut!

1-2 - Misc. Drawings

Just a landscape test to get used to a new program (Fresco) and a still life referenced from a photo of some flowers in a vase.

3 - The Initiates

Mostly-undeveloped urban fantasy story, I think it's got a killer group of main character but I can't seem to find a good villain to pit them against or plot beats to work through. Currently still using placeholder names too, from left to right are Silver (monster hunter), Gold (witch), Green (werewolf) and Red (vampire).

4-5 - Ocean of Green

If you can't tell by the Hollow Knight bug in image 5, Ocean of Green is basically me just indulging in my love of Hollow Knight's entire artistic direction and style. Although there's also a bit of Sky: Children of the Light and Kuneho in there as well.

Plot's pretty weak, and that's probably the main reason why I don't feel the motivation to nail down some character designs I actually want to work with. Everything above just doesn't hit the right spot, at least for now.

Image 4 is mostly the twins Wisteria (ponytail) and Gahnia (no ponytail). Then 5 is more Wisteria (ponytail + the design with antlers), more Gahnia (anything with red hair) and another character called Nymphae (five-leaf crown).

6-8 - Crow's Orbit

This was a space opera, mostly combining some of the passing knowledge I heard about Star Wars (never watched it myself), plus a bit of Chinese mythology and a very small pinch of xianxia (once again, don't extensively follow the genre, so only a very small amount of inspiration).

The drawings were mostly me just figuring out the design for the main alien species of the setting, using some secondary characters from the story as a testing ground. Ultimately I'm actually quite happy with what I ended up with. Pictured from left to right are (and you'll have to forgive me for the unpronounceable alien names);

Xaashidean “Ash” (red), and Vivryaahnix "Annex" (blue-white) of the Xilica. A silicon-based species that uses psychic powers to levitate and maintain a constant operating temperature of 500° Celsius.

Yrii-Yhroande "Hira" of the Kyurione, a combination of two lifeforms existing in symbiosis like a herbivorous boar-like animal and a carnivorous plant. Bit like a green sea slug, haha.

Then lastly, Ze'Zreyin "Zevs" of the Varan'ze. Parasitic lifeforms that resemble larva, specialized in consuming and replacing the brains of their ecosystem's lifeforms. That, combined with a mastery of genetic engineering allow the Varan'ze to custom make their bodies to excel at any task. Under normal circumstances, Varan'ze act under a psychic hive mind, with their consciousness thinking of itself as a singular organism - a bit like how we think of ourselves as individuals despite being made of of a near incomprehensible multitude of cells.

9-10 - Burnished / Icosah

Probably one of my most developed worlds from a pure worldbuilding / cultural standpoint, mostly because it's designed more to be a TTRPG setting than for a standalone comic or webnovel. First image is a map of the two habitable continents with the major regions colour-coded, but not labelled... You're not missing out on much the names are all unpronounceable lol

Second image is just a quick doodle of some characters, left one is a weird Aasimar with a name I must omit due to potential future spoilers for a D&D campaign, right one's a Drow called Zinrena Aranriira. The character arc that poor girl goes through, oof...

11-18 - Everyone Loves A Songbird

... You can tell I have a bit of a preference for this one.

Just a heap of character designs with a pair of light doodles / joke drawings at the end. Story's still in early development so they all have placeholder names (this is my excuse for the names being dumb and nonsensical).

First green image is of the story's protagonists, [Half-Moon] (a reserved but kindhearted cleric with a few secrets to hide) and [Devouring Blue] (says he's a bard but seems like they're just a bit too good at martial arts for that to not be a lie). Three images below that are [Half-Moon]'s starting design from the story's beginning, his demon form (the angst is never-ending, he really is the crawling in my crawl of our generation), and an outfit update [Devouring Blue] gets about a third of the way into the story.

Next two are [The Pine Tree], a young king with a few too many enemies and not enough allies to spare, and [Yellow Ribbon], [Devouring Blue]'s estranged older brother.

As for the joke drawings, I know they're a little messy, so I'll clarify that the first one's [Half-Moon] and [The Pine Tree] and the second is [Half-Moon] and [Devouring Blue].

And yeah, that's about it!

what art program do you use?

I will answer this properly with a process post at some point in the future, but for now… few different things!

The more “polished” looking stuff is obviously photoshop. It’s a lot of scanned textures, custom brushes, “stamp tool” for some scanned (stolen) textures, noise generation, Gaussian blur, unsharp mask and repeat for some other textures, “spray” brushes with tweaked color randomizer settings, “graded edge” pencil brushes that act as more controlled “spray” brushes, and tons and tons of time and layers.

It’s not necessarily start to finish photoshop has all the answers, but it is, bring in things from this corner of the internet, from this found object, from these textures pulled from art rage or rebelle, and then do the majority of doodling / painting / assembly in PS.

Some of the quick watercolor stuff is just procreate, but it’s obviously not as polished as photoshop because I don’t really know how to use procreate, but still will knock out some quick ones while on the couch. If I were to use PS, again, bc just how versatile it is, there’s a lot more real textures / color variation that I’d be able to bring in that I just don’t know how to do with procreate. There are people out there who can do some incredible stuff with procreate though!!! Also apparently heavy paint is also amazing and yet another iPad app that I don’t know how to use but want to play around with more, it also has built in color randomizers which will help achieve a more analogue look.

The majority of the black and white stuff is on an e-notebook that I do everything in, from work related stuff, to dumb assed doodles during meetings or waiting around on renders. It might look the most digital in some ways (bc the setting I save to renders pixel brush lines), but feels the most analogue.

Tbh tools do matter to a certain extent. Find the tool you’re comfortable with and dive deep.

Standards for Responsible Dog Breeding Practices with Wildwood Doodles

Standards for Responsible Dog Breeding Practices with Wildwood Doodles

Responsible breeders set aside funds for emergency veterinary treatments when needed for mother dogs or puppies that might become necessary during the breeding process. They understand that prioritizing appearance over function can result in health issues for both mother dogs and their puppies. Read on for more tips about responsible dog breeding with our guide, Wildwood Doodles.

Ethical Breeding Practices

Breeding dogs is an expensive endeavor that must be undertaken responsibly. According to Wildwood Doodles, responsible breeders understand the history and background of each litter they produce before screening prospective owners to ensure a good match for the puppy they've made. Furthermore, they know and strive to reduce expenses as much as possible while working to limit spending as they breed dogs for sale; nevertheless, it remains an expensive venture; those who fail to take their responsibilities seriously contribute to overpopulation issues and put vulnerable breeds into shelters as a result of breeding too quickly or looking for quick cash quick fixes should avoid breeding altogether!

When breeding dogs, ethical breeders prioritize health and function over appearance, focusing on only generating those with desirable traits. They remain aware of genetic diseases to avoid passing them along to their offspring, limit litter sizes, and don't breed multiple female dogs on successive heats to minimize stress on her.

Wildwood Doodles mentions responsible breeders provide their dogs with top-quality food, clean water, shelter, exercise space, and professional veterinary care. In addition, they safely handle puppies daily while socializing them with people of all ages and gradually weaning them before placing them. Another aspect of responsibility breeders provide is assisting new owners by helping address any potential issues that may arise.

Preparation

Responsible breeders provide their breeding animals with a safe and comfortable environment from conception through whelping. They ensure the mother dog's health before conception, during, and after whelping. Mother and her puppies receive quality food, clean water, shelter, professional veterinary care, socialization training, and regular handling and exercise to promote optimal development and ensure maximum well-being during breeding.

Breeders like Wildwood Doodles understand the demand for their breeding stock and plan litters accordingly to reduce oversupply and the likelihood of euthanasia. Waiting lists or other strategies help ensure suitable homes for their canines before breeding begins, helping breeders make appropriate matches between breeder dogs and puppies.

Responsible Breeders are aware of any genetic disorders or hereditary diseases that could impact their breed, working closely with veterinarians, geneticists, other breeders, and responsible pet owners to raise public awareness on this subject matter. Furthermore, they avoid breeding animals with known welfare concerns (e.g., inherited conditions or breed standards requiring exaggerated features).

Responsible breeders take great care in their breeding programs to prevent inbreeding and avoid producing multiple litters in short succession. They provide copies of certified veterinary medical reports and the results of any screening tests to prospective buyers. They also offer contracts that outline written details about the dog, including responsibilities between the breeder and adopter and any veterinary health guarantees they offer. They will rehome or take back any animal returned by its original adopters within an agreed-upon period.

Health Testing

Veterinarian health testing is an integral component of responsible breeding. Breeders must be able to inform prospective buyers about screenings performed on both parents and their offspring and provide comprehensive pedigree data.

According to Wildwood Doodles, good breeders prioritize the health and well-being of their breeding dogs by providing balanced diets, regular veterinary care, clean living environments, and proper socialization for each litter they produce. Good breeders also identify desirable traits like healthy temperament and desirable physical features they wish to perpetuate among future litters while avoiding those resulting in lower quality lives or welfare issues (such as exaggerated physical characteristics).

Responsible breeders understand the likely demand for the puppies they produce and plan their litters to meet it to prevent oversupply and the subsequent euthanasia of healthy animals. They strive to pair each puppy with an ideal owner through waiting lists or other strategies and continue working closely with adoptive families throughout their dog's lifespan.

Functionally and clinically healthy dogs should only be bred; dogs with chronic diseases such as cerebellar ataxia should not be mated until heritability testing becomes available to ensure affected pups don't produce affected puppies.

Socialization

Responsible breeders put the wellbeing of both mother dogs and puppies first during the breeding process, such as by ensuring her physical and emotional wellbeing, selecting matching pairs based on health and temperament, monitoring her heart cycle, and limiting the frequency of producing litters to prevent genetic diseases from appearing over time.

Responsible breeders provide pregnant and nursing mothers with adequate nutrition, regular veterinary care, and a safe environment during gestation and whelping. Matings between pairs are as distantly related as possible to minimize inbreeding (breeding animals who are first or second-degree relatives such as father-to-daughter, brother-to-sister, or grandparent-to-granddaughter). This reduces risks associated with genetic diseases or exaggerated features.

An ethical breeder practice recommended quality tests on both father and mother to reduce the likelihood of heritable issues like hip and elbow dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, and hearing or vision loss in offspring.

Breeders typically encourage prospective owners to visit where dogs are bred, meet the litter and at least one parent (ideally both), discuss breeding and sales practices as well and draft an adoption/purchase contract in clear language that outlines each party's responsibilities, health guarantees, return policies, etc. Be wary of breeders who do not wish to provide this information openly or are unwilling to do so.

Uhm, hello, hi, good evening? night? morning? early morning? It's 2:17am... So, my hours are royally borked... I guess being sick will do that to you... 🫠

I've been doodling a lot the past few days and looking up a lot of Youtube videos. When I say a lot, I mean a LOT.

A lot for me is already massive, so imagine multiplying that even further. That's... well... 🤯

At first I was looking for a way to put this pose I was trying to do in a better perspective. And then I was like y'know what, I know how to do that, it's just not coming out how I want it for some reason- so let me brush up on the pose method I typically do-

-And then I couldn't find the pose method I typically do.

... as if that method fell off the face of the planet. 🌍😵

Like, what?

So I went on a massive search for "my method" and in that search I found the official method for how I draw heads- which I didn't know was a method. I guess I've been doing it a lazy way all this time? So, now I can do a more structured version of that- holy wow. A method to the madness! (or I can continue being lazy, lol 🙃)

Before I continue and ramble on, let's start with the head method. It's called the Loomis Method. There's a ton of videos out there on Youtube and stuff but here's a good one:

His is 25 mins, and I understand not everyone has that much time to watch vids but it's worth it if you you're trying to learn something new and absorb info.

Here's another one teaching the same method in 9:30 mins. It's shorter and not as "refined" (with perfect circles. Who freehands perfect circles anyways? not me~ 🫠) but has more information packed into it about the method.

Honestly watching both wouldn't hurt as each of them bring something different to the table.

After finding that, I resumed my search for my pose method and came across something called Gesture Drawing. This isn't my method but it's pretty darn close to it, and it caught my attention.

I was looking up vid after vid- wow this is cool. The techniques used here have so much potential... but I'm on a mission here and I'm trying to get a thing done by Valentine's day.

I do think if someone is interested in getting into Gesture Drawing though, this is a good video:

Having watched so many vids, and of the dozens I DID watch, this felt the most complete and explanatory and thorough and easy to follow, etc 👍🏻

Finally in the late evening, I found what I was searching for. And it was in the Gesture Drawing category. The title of the video is called "Quick Pose Gesture Sketching" so to me it sounds like it's a mesh of Gesture and Sketching, but this is basically how I learned to sketch posing and I've been doing it this way for a long time. Its worked for me all this time and I've never felt a need to change my ways.

Or at least until this past week when I couldn't get a perspective on this one specific pose to work for me. It could just be that I haven't drawn in a very long time and everything is feeling off. I just need to tinker around in my art program and not on a sketchpad (because I was drawing with a pencil and paper for a change - which could be it too. I haven't done that for a few years now).

I guess I get to do that "tinkering" thing tomorrow because it's way too late....... this morning? *looks at the time* [3:05am] 👀 oof. I just wanted to share a handful of great helpful videos I found.

Remember a post ago, or a couple posts ago (I forget already) I posted my color palettes of my colored pencils? One of the artists I've been sharing vids of made a new video for working with small colored pencil sets and making a color wheel- essentially making your own colored sheet. It's handy if you're not too familiar with color theory;

For more information, see “Our Procedure”.You never know when a moment of boredom could strike. You will receive video’s and pictures every other week, so you can choose your puppy. You can choose the puppy yourself, we do not assign puppies like many other breeders, but will advise and help you with choosing because we know the puppies so well! We work with a waiting list and when it is your turn, you can choose the puppy that has not yet been selected by the owners above you on the waiting list.

#Doodle train youtube how to#

We start the therapy dog ​​training at 5 weeks, first by sounds, potty train them, get used to brushing and checked out on a table, teach them how to behave and how to be a friendly social cudly baby. In addition to the fact that we are raising them with all our love and consistently, the rest of our Doodles gang are used to raise the puppy’s with tough love and socializes them very quick. For more information about socialization, see the ‘Socialization’ page. As they are so cute, they meet many people and children, other animals, they learn to walk on the leash, getting used to cars etc. From the age of 4 weeks the puppies are offered dosed and larger stimulus, such as sounds of thunder, fireworks, cars, washing machine, vacuum cleaner etc. Our puppies will only receive light and controlled stimulus with the BioSensor Program, which are special methods to make the puppies relaxed for the rest of their lives. The first 4 weeks are Rest, Regularity and Cleanliness our top priority. Especially children who are highly sensitive, have Autism, ADHD or Down’s syndrome benefit greatly from an Australian Labradoodle puppy like ours.Īs in nature, what we have notice with our puppy’s and learned of Puppy Culture Programme, is that it’s best for puppies to only be exposed to stimulus when they are ready. This method ensures that learning good behavior is accelerated. The puppies learn very quickly from this, see and copy good behavior from the older doodles. We see how loving, consistent, clear, peaceful and balanced our pack interacts with each other and with the puppies and lives in harmony. The most important thing that we are going to give them is a whole lot of love, attention, guided stimulus, hugs and respect through consistent education. In addition, the eyes are checked every year by ECVO test and we breed Addison evasively. We breed as healthy as possible! This means that our ladies and gentlemen have been tested for HD (Hip dysplasia), ED (Elbow dysplasia), Patellaluxation (loose kneecaps), PRA-PRCD (hereditary eye diseases), Willebrand disease (Blood coagulation disease), EIC (Exercise Induced Collapse), IC (Improper Coat) and DM (Degenerative Myelopathy). Our puppies will grow to 39 cm Mini Labradoodles – 50 cm Medium size. We mainly breed Wavy Fleece and sometimes Curly Fleece coats. A happy pregnant female without stress brings healthy and stable puppies into the world! We breed for 8 years now and our puppies are known for being very relaxed! We take these stress factors away from the mothers, because they love us and are used to our environment. In host families, girls are often transferred pregnant to another environment, other packs (unknown dogs of the breeder), other people and their own owner suddenly falls away. We do not breed with our girls in host families! Large-scale research from the USA has shown that girls pass on stress and anxiety during pregnancy or maternity period to the puppies via EpiGenetics. We absolutely love and adore all of our baby’s and feel really grateful to take care and enjoy them every day! Character is our number 1 priority, we do not breed with anxious / aggressive / nervous / dogs, but select our dogs for a sweet / cuddly / laid back / “no harm in his body” character. It is the perfect social family dog and an ideal therapy dog! They are very smart, eager to learn and very easy to train. They have no undercoat and no shedding period. Hey! We are Jolie and Frank Hamers and we have a huge passion for the sweet, cheerful, gentle, cuddly and beautiful Australian Labradoodle! We believe that there is nothing better than making people happy with healthy, social and handsome puppies! Our Australian Labradoodle’s have a allergy friendly coat so that 99% of people with an allergy for dogs and cats don’t get an allergic reaction. (Priority list open for Europe: Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Sweden) Open: Priority List (without waiting time) You can’t buy happiness, but you can adopt a DoodleBaby Waiting list closed

I GOT MY CERTIFICATE !!!

I am now officially a nurse 👩‍⚕️ So I decided to celebrate with some doodles of Hank and Connor as nurses. I’ll even share some headcanons (it’s more or less the same kind of post I did for the fantasy AU) about a nurse AU. This last year has been really hard and intense, and the pandemic didn’t make things easier, so I’m chilling out a bit before starting my first job as a nurse in august… I hope I’ll meet the team’s expectations, it’s kinda stressful. But I’m glad I made it, I worked hard and invested myself a lot 🥰 I wish you all a lot of success in your life !

-NURSE AU-

Connor was a military android before the revolution, he was forced to fight against his own kind, even tortured when he tried to escape with his android squad. After the Pacific Revolution, he quits the army and downloads the android nurses programs. After everything he has done, he needs to take care of people to heal himself.

X

Hank is a nurse and has always been a nurse. He loves this job and is certain androids can’t be good at it because they can’t have empathy for humans, they can’t understand how it feels to be sick, frail, and mortal. As he says “a computer is good at stats and knowledge, but it doesn’t have a heart, and the heart is the main tool of a good nurse”.

X

They meet on Connor’s first day, since Hank has been designated to be Connor’s “double” (an experienced professional who takes a rookie under their wing). They have to work as a duo for one month.

X

Hank was first still kinda wary of Connor, even if now androids are seen as a new intelligent species, but as he sees Connor putting his heart into the job, he warms up.

X

Connor comes to Hank, panicked : “Hank, I need your help !” Alerted, Hank follows the android in the corridor, his step quick. When he realizes Connor is only struggling inserting a urinary catheter on a female patient, he laughs quietly.

“What’s the problem ?”

“I-… I can’t find it !”

Hank tries not to laugh too hard when he comes to Connor’s rescue. After some time of searching, the catheter goes in smoothly and Hank makes sure the patient is okay before he and Connor walk out of the room.

“In theory, you should know how women are made down there, right ?”

“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.” Connor sighs as he takes his gloves off. “I sure know male anatomy better. Anyway, thanks.”

And he leaves with the trolley, never seeing Hank’s confused expression.

X

“Damn stupid machine !”

Connor looks up as he hears that, his big dark eyes piercing through the air to stare at the man who just pronounced those words. Hank, feeling the burning stare on his face, turns to his colleague with an inquiring look. As he meets Connor’s deep, black eyes, he understands.

“Not… Not you… The computer. That damn software won’t let me check my patient’s file.”

“… Yeah, sorry. I just… I’m used to hearing that for myself, that’s all.” “Where do you come from again ? I mean your former job ?” “I was a military android.” “Must have been hard” “… Do you need help with your computer ?” “… Yeah I do. Thanks Connor.”

X

That morning, Hank shows up wearing a white tank top, to Connor’s surprise. As he sits down next to him for the staff meeting, another nurse whistles, gently mocking him.

“Who are you trying to impress, Mister Flex?”

“Believe it or not I couldn’t find a scrub my size. I’ll go check in another ward later but I didn’t want to be late.”

“I was just asking” the other nurse laughs “ ‘cause Connor here seems kinda impressed.”

Hank’s glare finds the dark haired man’s bright eyes in a fleeting moment, and suddenly Hank is sure of one thing : Connor was blushing. He swears he saw it, before the android somehow magically regained his composure.

“I’ve seen much more impressive things in the army.” Connor retorts, carefully avoiding Hank’s glare as he speaks. The other nurse chuckles, patting Hank’s shoulder in an apologetic gesture, but Hank smiles silently.

X

“I don’t want you to touch me.”

Connor’s hand draws back as a stabbing pain pierces his thirium pump. He stands upright, the patient looking at him in disgust : it had not happened in weeks. People’s opinion on androids has improved a lot in the last month among patients, so much that Connor had forgotten it could actually happen. He walks out of the room, his eyes searching for someone, anyone, and he sees the person he was hoping to see.

“Hey, Connor.” “Hank… I need your help.” “Urinary catheter again ?” the silver haired man replies, with a mocking smile. “I wish… but it’s for a dressing. The patient doesn’t want me to touch him.” “Why ?” “…”

Connor’s heart softens in front of Hank’s confused look : he uncrosses his arms and tiredly points the led on his temple. Hank’s blue eyes suddenly darken, his expression closed and his eyebrows frowned sharply.

“Come with me.” “He doesn’t want me to take care of him. I can get over it. I just need it to be done.”

“No fucking way. He has no right to treat you like this.”

Connor follows him in, his heart pounding to the idea of Hank defending him.

X

It wasn’t Hank’s first case of an emergency : the blood, the patient crying in pain, the resident giving indications in the chaos, the caretakers fussing, the nurses passing intravenous treatments. He has seen all of this before. But it was Connor’s first. At the beginning Hank was impressed by his efficiency : androids might have more self control than humans, they can still be pressured (for what he knows). Connor was amazing, dealing with the pressure, the patient’s painful cries and the resident’s confused orders. He was like… a machine. Hank felt a shiver running down his spine. He was checking the PRBC before transfusing the patient, when the fast beeps on the monitor turned into a high, continuous sound.

“We’re losing him !”

Next thing he knows, Connor was kneeling on the bed, performing CPR. Hank’s blood froze.

“Connor, the patient didn’t want to be resuscitated.” No answer. “Connor !”

The android was scarily unresponsive. In the confusion, Hank jumped to the younger man, and grabbed him from behind. “Connor stop !” The dark haired nurse gasped, looking around him with a terrified look on his face, a look the older man had never ever seen on his delicate traits.

“We’re taking a break” he breathes, practically keeping Connor from collapsing on the floor.

X

Connor had finally caught his breath. He and Hank were outside, sitting on the metallic emergency stairs, looking at the pink clouds in the sunset.

“How do you feel ?” the silver haired asks finally, breaking the long silence that had settled down as Connor started crying. “Better.” “What happened to you up there ?” “The stress of the situation… I’m a former military, and old habits die hard… When I’m in a stressful situation, all I can do is obey orders and accomplish missions. I’m… like a machine again. I hate that.” “It’s like… PTSD or something ?” “Probably.”

Connor sighed, burying his face in his hands for a moment, then looking up to the sky, his slim fingers still covering his elegant nose and fleshy lips. Hank couldn’t help but think tears made his dark brown eyes even more shiny. He looked so vulnerable.

“Hank” Connor whispered, his eyes still fixed on the orange sky. “Would you help me with something ?” “Sure. Anything.” “I think I need a hug.” From where he was, Hank could see Connor’s ears, blushing : he smiled at that detail. “I think you need one too.” Hank wrapped his huge arm around his shoulders, waiting for his colleague to make the next move : Connor didn’t wait before diving in the embrace, hiding his head against Hank’s pec. “Thank you…”

X

That’s all folk ! All for today at least… Maybe I’ll come back with more ?

[thevoidfishsminstrel]

Lena was just finishing writing up her daily plan when Jess’ voice crackled over the intercom.

“Miss Luthor, the reporter from CatCo is here.”

Lena took a deep breath, letting her professional mask slip into place, ready to start the day. “You can let them in, Jess.”

She stood as the door to her office opened and a woman with soft blonde curls and a yellow sundress entered. She smiled brightly at Lena despite the slight nervousness behind it. Lena found her own polite smile reflecting a little of Kara’s sunshine back as she approached.

“Kara Danvers, CatCo magazine.” She moved her hand as if about to offer a handshake and Lena’s heart rate ticked up a little with dread, but Kara seemed to change the course of her movement and ended up fiddling with her glasses instead.

“Lena Luthor,” she introduced herself and getured for Kara to sit at one of the chairs across from her desk.

Kara pulled a notebook and pen from her bag. “So, Miss Luthor, mind if I ask you some questions about your latest tech?”

Kara was kind and sweet and seemed to be genuinely interested in her work, not just looking for some new angle to paint Lena as the next terrible Luthor. She listened and asked questions off of what Lena had been saying rather than just reading the ones Lena could see written in her notebook. She seemed to light up a little more every time Lena let her professional mask slip a fraction and showed some of the enthusiasm she normally tried to keep bottled for when she was alone in her lab. Kara Danvers had an uncanny way of drawing out her unmasked self until she was rambling about her work and talking with excited hand gestures that Lillian always chided her for but she could never quite suppress.

The interview was over before she knew and Jess was popping her head into the office with barely concealed surprise at the fact that Lena had almost let it run over to escort Kara out again.

But she had a feeling it wouldn’t be the last time she saw Kara Danvers.

———

Kara’s article came out a week later and Lena filled her office with flowers in thanks. Kara called her within an hour.

They arranged to go to brunch together which turned into another brunch the next week, and then a lunch date, and then trying out a new cafe, and then more interviews. Lena found herself adding calls after work with Kara into her routine and messaging Sam about how often was appropriate to text a new friend. (Sam was no help but Lena refused to give in to the urge to google it.)

Kara saved her as Supergirl and it wasn’t long before she accidentally revealed her identity and Lena sheepishly told her she already knew.

It was a few weeks before Kara visited her office without the pretence of an interview.

Lena was reading through a contract when there was a knock at her office door and Kara walked in with a paper bag.

“Miss Danvers! Miss Danvers!”

Kara looked back down the hallway with a frown as Jess hissed her name, rushing into the office after her.

Jess turned to Lena apologetically. “I’m so sorry Miss Luthor, I was only gone for a minute to get a coffee and she must have slipped in.”

Kara looked to Lena in slight panic. “Oh no am I interrupting?”

Lena capped her pen and stood with a placating smile. “It’s quite alright, Kara. I can take a short break.”

Kara couldn’t hide the hopeful way her eyes lit up but she still asked, “are you sure?”

Lena tried to counter the way her heart strained slightly as she glanced at her timed schedule with a bright smile, ignoring Jess’ mildly concerned look. “Of course.”

Kara stayed and ate amazing donuts with her while they talked and laughed for over an hour. The reminder of work was constantly in her mind but she pushed it aside to prolong the wonderful experience of sharing donuts with Kara Danvers. Until Jess informed her she had her next meeting and Kara left and the stress of her messed up schedule came crashing back down, piling up as the day went on and each item on her list for the day got pushed back or rearranged.

It was nearing 10pm when Kara found her at her desk with her head in her hands, desperately trying to ignore her headache and not let her emotions overwhelm her.

“Lena?” Supergirl landed softly on her balcony, stepping gently into her office and crouching down beside her. “Lena is everything okay?”

Lena just screwed her eyes shut tighter, unable to do anything else.

“Lena, can you take some deep breaths for me?” Kara carefully opened her desk drawer and took out the noise cancelling headphones as she softly counted breaths. She gently placed them over Lena’s ears and the incessant humming of her computer and the lights and the wind faded.

Lena slowly removed her hands from her head and blinked, still feeling sluggish.

“Will you let me take you home?”

She nodded, holding out her arms and letting Kara scoop her up into a surprisingly strong and calming grip. She let her head rest in the crook of Kara’s neck and just breathed as they flew back to her penthouse.

Lena found herself curled up on her couch, wrapped in a blanket, as she began to come back to herself.

Kara wandered over from the kitchen, gently setting two mugs of tea on the coffee table and sitting down on the other end of the couch. Lena removed the headphones and murmured a quiet ‘thank you’ as she picked up her mug.

She could tell Kara was looking at her with worry. “Did I make things hard by turning up at your office today?”

Lena stared down at her mug, heart clenching. “It’s not that I didn’t want to see you! Or that I didn’t really enjoy the donuts or anything…”

Kara sighed, shuffling a little closer. “Lena, it’s okay. I want to respect your boundaries but you have to let me know what they are so that I can.”

Lena swirled her tea in the mug as she figured out what she wanted to say. “I don’t like it when my plans change. I really like seeing you, but I like to know when. It makes me stressed to have to rearrange my plans when I’ve got a sequence of how to do them already in my head.”

“Okay.” Kara smiled softly. “Thank you for letting me know.”

They scheduled in visits after that and Lena found herself smiling at her desk, looking forward to each and every one of them, thinking about all the things she had to tell Kara that day.

Their lunches increased to at least twice a week and movie nights became a regular fixture too. Some evenings Kara would come over and they would just sit in comfortable silence, doing their own things, happy to be in each others’ presence.

Lena found her smiles growing and her heart fluttering around Kara. Kara could hear her affect if her shy smiles each time it happened were anything to go by.

Kara was the only other person allowed in Lena’s private lab. While Lena loved her visits down to R&D, she valued the organisation and quiet of her personal lab. Kara understood that and happily watched her work and listened to her excited explanations without interrupting.

Kara sat quietly, doodling in her notebook while Lena revised the code of one of her projects. She looked up when Lena grinned, tapping excitedly on the desk in front of the computer.

“Is the code working?” Kara stood from her seat to peer at the screen as it ran through a simulation of the code.

“Potentially.”

The program ended, perfectly completing its function, and Lena squealed in delight. She turned to Kara and threw her arms around her, basking in the deep pressure of Kara’s tight grip as she lifted her off the ground and spun her round.

“It worked!”

Kara put her down again, beaming at her. “You’re amazing, Lena.”

Lena’s heart skipped a beat and Kara’s eyes flicked down momentarily as if to track the noise, flicking back up with a blush just as quick.

Lena bit her lip, a light flush dusting her own cheeks. “Thank you.”

Kara’s eyes dipped down again, seeming to get stuck at her lips. Her voice was soft when she spoke. “Can I kiss you?”

Lena’s heart stopped all together as the air rushed from her lungs. “Yes.”

And for a moment the rest of the world seemed to melt away.
