tell me more about aroace jesse

OOOO 👀 this is such a pleasant surprise!! Was thinking about moving this to the fanfic blog ‘cause I actually have a very rough aroace jesse fic idea :)))) but yeah let’s talk about it!

Truth to be told Jesse didn’t even realized he has been seeing the world differently than other people

Dude spent a good part of his life thinking that marriage is very much just Something You Do™️, like a SOP of life

✔️girlfriend ✔️house✔️marriage ✔️kids

And then he grown up (or so he thought) and decided that spending his time going on crazy adventures was more fun than spending time to find a girlfriend (it’s so much work why bother)

Then immortality hit so the whole love/marriage whatnot got ignored even more

What’s the point of falling in love if you would always outlive your lover?

(Did 19th century ppl do hookups? Idk, but that didn’t really cross Jesse’s mind)

The other Tucks thought it’s just a decision that came with immortality, but yeah this was very much Not A Thing Jesse was dealing with

He did wondered about the whole love thingy after a few decades, but always came to the conclusion that It Is Not Cool (Look at Miles)

He can’t even really have long term friends without revealing his secret let alone significant others

It wasn’t until he met Winnie that the whole thing was brought back to focus

Long term companionship with a girl and they vibe together? Sounds like marriage

Very much a I’ll Married My Besties I Love Them And Tax Benefits kinda guy

He asked Winnie to wait because let’s face it, a teenager dragging a child all around the world is absolutely insane and would raise so much suspicion and attention

But a couple? No one would bat an eye

(Btw book Jesse treated marriage as such an afterthought it was so funny, meanwhile Winnie was having a puppy crush on him but we don’t acknowledge that)

The Tucks didn’t know about the proposal until a few years later

The whole Winnie thing was bought back up and Miles and Jesse were having an argument, Miles was saying something about two people being suspicious and Jesse let it slipped and said something like “Not if we’re married.”

The family was shocked and pissed and Jesse was reasoning that he actually thought things through and about being less suspicious and convenient

It went on for a while between “She was a child!” “She might change her mind and don’t want to be with you.” and “It’s more convenient.” smt like that

And then someone (probably Mae or Angus) was like wait Jesse did you not see about the commitment after marriage and whatnot

Jesse was like 👁️👄👁️ but we’re besties it’s platonic it’s for traveling why would you think that 👁️👄👁️ it’s just a fake label👁️👄👁️

And then the four of them had an Oh Something Was Up moment (Also Jesse probably stormed out so)

The whole thing was put on the back burner again, Jesse eventually had a talk with Miles and got it figured out and came out to the whole family

There were obviously not much resources and labels

(They blame the water for a hot minute but well the other three don’t have this thingy so clearly not the right direction)

But yeah eventually Jesse was pretty okay with it

Imagine how much joy he felt when modern time rolled around and there are now Words to describe how he felt and there are people like him

#yeah that’s about it #good god this is so long #thanks for the ask!! #ask claire! #pealeii :) #jesse tuck #aroace jesse tuck #tuck everlasting

In the angels/fallen angels AU, why did Race fall, and does he regret the decisions that led to it (my computer is not letting me type question marks for some reason)

I love you I love you I love you/p

Um tw for mentions of sexual harassment, kidnapping attempt, murder attempt, and actual murdering (non of these are graphic)

So on Race’s last assignment as an angel, the girl he was sent to help had a stalker. (not the reason he was helping her but the dude was a handful) He was rich, very creepy, harassing her wherever she go and kept trying to get her to marry him (or more accurately, sleep with him), so generally a walking red flag. And because it was the medieval period, also the fact that angels aren’t supposed to actively magic stuff away (they are like the bestie that’s there for you with a lot of good luck to share but they can’t directly intervene with things), there wasn’t much they could do

It went on for a few years, with Race trying his hardest to help, but the man was very stubborn. After Race almost breaking the not intervening rule when the man tried to kidnap the girl one time, the girl’s family had enough and skipped town. They lived a pretty peaceful life in the new village, the girl was doing great and married someone she loved, and Race was another few years away to move on to his next mission

The stalker found the girl’s new address, tried to kidnap her again, and threatened to kill her if she didn’t go with him. Race got there just in time, and got so furious he snapped and went full angel on the man and smote him. The girl’s husband arrived, they rushed the girl to safety and Race made them promise to never tell anyone what happened, he cleaned up the evidence, and heaven got the news and dragged Race back to heaven

On paper, Race “Violated the holiest rule of being an angel and committed unspeakable crime” because a) He broke the not intervening rule, and b) He killed a human when he wasn’t assigned to do that

Race didn’t feel bad about the fact that the creep was dead, but he did feel guilty that he couldn’t protect the girl better, and things ended up that way. The fact that he killed someone makes him feel pretty disgusted but he’ll do it again in a heartbeat if that means the girl is safe

At the end of the day thought, what he regretted the most was not being able to say goodbye to Spot

self care is writing a fic that you’re literally the sole target audience for

#nobody was asking for a spn pmmm crossover fic focusing on claire at 14 #who by this point has already been manipulated into agreeing to something without knowing all the terms and conditions first #and it was awful and the worst day of her life #so when kyubey approaches her she doesn't go for it #but the people around her do and so claire gets to watch people she loves die horribly AGAIN #like there is nothing in spn canon that contradicts any of this #but literally nobody is wanting a fic like this to exist #nobody except for me #so i guess i have to do everything myself around here #el talks

my relatives looking over my shoulder while I sit at a table at this predominantly mormon wedding, drawing SLARPG fanart in a sketchbook and showing my cousin some furry art on my phone under the guise of it just being a "D&D commission" (because apparently having a furry character be a cool wizard completely nullifies all typical warning signs):

#buny text #seriously you have no idea the glee i experience from having my extremely devout mormon grandpa compliment my Claire Higsby drawing #i could do with fewer people asking me when I'm gonna move back here permanently #but i do quite enjoy getting to draw cute animal people unquestioned as long as i give them weapons or magic powers #it's very funny

What all roleplaying games have you worked on?

I'll try to name them all here but there are a lot and some of them are pretty small so I may miss a few by accident.

Epochrypha (2018) by Skerples was both the first piece of paid work I did and also the first game supplement I worked on. This is so old I was still inking digitally.

I also provided illustrations for Magical Industrial Revolution and The Monster Overhaul by the same author.

Monster Overhaul was neat because I did interior illustrations in early 2020 but didn't do the cover until 2022 so you can see quite a stylistic evolution.

From 2018 to 2020 things were pretty quiet for me until I worked on The Shifting City by Dank Dungeons. People really liked the cover for some reason and that basically created a career for me. I still get people asking me to basically recreate this cover a few times a year:

I did a handful of illustrations from 2020 to 2022ish for Ukuwa Station that ended up in The Field Guide to Mfecane, a third party afrofuturist Lancer expansion.

Our Vale of Discontent was a small game I worked on in 2020:

Mycosis is a Mork Borg dungeon I worked on around this time, which notably marked my first attempt at doing some goofy black metal title font.

I did most of my illustration work for Desert Moon of Karth by Joel Hines in late 2020 and early 2021:

The sequel, Tide World of Mani is still being worked on. I just finished my last interior illustrations for it a month or two ago.

AZAG by Dank Dungeons was a game I worked on throughout 2021 that was a blast and I think more people should know about.

At some point in 2021 I did a bunch of pieces for Lore & Legacy although I don't remember exactly when. These never got posted but the book's been out for a while now so maybe I'll show them off later.

Late in 2021 was when I started doing illustrations for The Electrum Archive by Emiel Boven (I think issue 2 is out soon).

Early 2022 I did a bunch of character illustrations for some Victorian horror fantasy game that I don't think ever actually came out (commissioner never responded to me when I asked about it at least) which is a shame because I'm proud of these. At least I got paid!

This was another one for a game that I don't think ever came out:

I did character designs for Nebula Chaos by Polyhedra Games in 2022:

Then Neon Saber by Olivia Miller

Then some pieces for If Worlds Collide:

Then Critters & Companions by Pearse Anderson:

Ran out of space for images, I'll finish this in part 2...

what's your go-to song to sing from newsies? (or listen to if you don't sing lol)

Mhmm, I only sing for fun but I usually go with Watch What Happens since I’m a soprano (well at least I think I am, I always got the soprano part)

#thanks for the ask! #anon #ask claire!

[carpe-diem-since-1899]

well i’ve been giving everyone fic titles but since the title i was going to give you was “you can’t stand my words”, i’ll ask u this instead:

who of the newsies are the best liars, how often do they use it as a tactic (negatively or positively), and who can see through them/what are their tells!!! canon era or not either works!! @jack-kellys 💥

Tysm Rizz because I have Thoughts To Share

I’m going with Race but only in this very specific au (I won’t say which one it is because what I’m gonna say only happens later in the story and it’s one of my main gimmick in it, so dm if you really wanna know)

Okay, Racetrack Higgins. He’s the jokester, witty, charming, approachable, very much still the guy we know and love. All of these are who he is as a person but he also tend to dial his “agreeable traits” (saf explained this better than me) to 11 and present himself this way because a) he thinks that’s what people think and like about him and b) It’s easier for his line of work. He’s more of an archetype than a person, he’s here to fill a role not having a good time

With that being said, lying is kind of his default mode, more of a telling-half-truths, leaving stuff out, and misdirecting way. He’s a con man (not exactly but let’s just call him that for now), not being honest and remain undetected is literally in the job description. He lets on enough about himself to build a sense of honesty so he can do his thing, but he also keep up the “This guys is chill and Will Always be There For You and You Can Trust Him!!” façade around his friends/family. Telling truths means offering a piece of himself, and that kind of vulnerability is just too terrifying for him. His lies are his safety net, something that he has control over

He’s the best liar because again, he build his stuff around part of the truth so there’s a fundamental thingy there, and then he convinces himself like, “Yeah that’s Totally What’s Going On” (Unhealthy af when he’s dealing with his own emotions and problems) , Jack and Albert can tell that something is slightly off every once in a while, but they can’t pinpoint what is wrong. Finch can see that something is bothering him, his eyes have this sparkly thing when he’s telling the truth and have a sunshiny warmth aura around him, and he tends to be more tactile and touchy-freely, so whenever those aren’t happening he’s pretty much underselling his feeling/straight up lying. Finch knew him since they were kids so he knows Race before he built his façade and would nudge him to open up whenever he can. Another person that can tell he’s lying is Spot, but for him it’s more of a take one to know one situation. Spot has his own façade and reasons to put up a front and although not quite the same as Race’s, he can tell when something is up after knowing him better

So quick summary and other stuff: Race hides behind lies because he’s afraid to show too much of himself and then people won’t like what they see, also his work involves lying to survive, and as time went on it became a knee-jerk reaction to lie. Finch knows his tells because he knows Race the longest and he’s observing, and he does his best to help Race, Spot can tell because his kinda in a similar situation, different motivations different tactics different outcomes but both do it for Other People.

I never noticed how worried he looked when he spots Claire until you pointed it out, it's so cute lmao.

Yeah, one of the most consistent aspects of Leon's character is his reaction whenever Claire is in danger 🥹
