finnick odair x (slightly destructive) injured!performer!gn!reader who refuses to take a rest day when it's clearly needed-- n when finnick gets all worried n stuff reader expresses that they CAN'T miss a rehearsal because director and just hurt to comfort to fluff idk HSDJGH maybe simp anon is indulging a b i t a t i n y bit <33 MUCH LOVE THO MWAH MWAH - simp anon fr

just for u baeski <3

there’s nothing finnick loves more in the world than to see you perform. the sea in the morning, a bountiful supply of fish in his net, fresh bread at night, each of his usual favorites barely come close to seeing you on stage. sure, your laughter and your scent and the smell of saltwater in your hair or on your skin comes close. but seeing you in your element, on the stage, moving around in a way that forcibly captivated each and every audience member; there’s nothing that can beat that to finnick.

which is why it breaks his heart to see you injured. you’ve come home late that night from rehearsal, a little drag in your step and a solemn look on your face. rehearsals have been rigorous that week, leaving finnick no choice but to make sure you leave with enough food for breakfast and lunch, and that there’s warm food on the table for dinner when you come back.

he’s just taken off the apron he insisted on wearing when you’ve pushed the front door open (it says ‘kiss the cook’ and of course, you’re forced to do what the apron says).

“hey, honey.” his voice is soft, gentle like it usually is, but there’s that light edge that says he’s excited to see you. and you’re excited to see him, too, just like you usually are. but the ache in your ankle and the mental weight that it carries prevents the tone in your voice from lifting.

“hey, finn.”

he senses it immediately. you’ve put your bag down at the door, and you’ve slipped your shoes off, and finnick’s come around the corner to get a good look at you.

you look like you usually do after rehearsal, tired, a little messy, still like the love of his life. but your eyes are puffier than usual and you just look off.

but it’s a look finnick knows.

“what happened?” he sighs it out, and you look at him to see his pink lips parted and his eyebrows furrowed. he’s still holding his apron in his hand, half folded and dangling limp from his palms.

but when you sniff and your eyes well up with tears, the apron is discarded to the ground and his hands hold onto you instead.

your head rests against his chest and he comfortingly holds it there with one of his hands, the other rubbing up and down your back assuringly. he mumbles reassuring phrases against your hair, kissing your head between them (“it’s okay. you’re okay. just let it out. whatever it is, we can handle it together, okay? okay? you know i’m here for you. it’s okay.”)

through your snotty tears, finnick manages to coax you to the living room, the smell of your favorite food not far from there entering your nostrils and soothing you. he sits you on the cushion, resting beside you, and encourages you to curl up beside him, attempting to pull your legs up. which is how he notices.

your ankle is swollen, a little bruised, and you’re not even attempting to move it. he stares at the injury, his eyes softening even more as he looks at your face. “oh, sweetheart ..”

and that’s all it takes for a second round of waterworks to start. his hands rub what they can reach, he rocks you in his arms, and when you’re reach to talk, he listens.

he listens to you talk about the demands from your new head director (fucking katinka) and he rolls his eyes as you talk about how expecting she is. he listen to you talk about some of the minute changes in a few numbers, and how they’ve taken a toll on you while somehow changing the dynamic of the peace. he listens to you talk about how stressful it’s all been, but how this is something you love to do and you refuse to give up. but he interrupts you when you try to convince both yourself and him that you’re okay to keep performing.

“i’m not letting you do that to yourself.” hes stern, and he means it, but you try to stand anyway.

“seriously, finn, i’m fine. just get me some frozen peas and i’ll be good in the morning.”

“honey, if you don’t sit down right now i’ll make you.”

you turn to face him, a grin finding its way onto your lips as you say, “kinky,” teasingly squinting your eyes and crinkling your nose. finnick has to hold down his smile, but you see it anyway.

“i’m serious.”

“nice to meet you, serious.” you’re about to take a step but a hand pulls you back by the waist, sending you tumbling back onto finnicks lap in a fit of giggles. finnick kisses your shoulder, then your cheek, and wraps his arms securely around your waist.

“stay home, tell katinka you can’t make it, and let me take care of you.” you hum, turning to face him.

“you always take care of me.”

shamelessly, he smiles and says, “that’s what i’m best at.”

My first colors for @green-with-envy-phandom-event

I was immediately drawn to @minnowmarsh’s lovely lineart. It gives such peaceful vibes and I just love it. Hope you like the way I colored it

And a video so y’all can see the 3D effect better

I used colored pencil, watercolors, sharpie, gel pen, and paint pen; the background is watercolor with some added glitter gel pen stars.

Tiny Gerard for your dash

[ID: a painted sketch of Gerard Way done in blue acrylic paint on white paper. It shows Gerard looking slightly mournful as they sing into a microphone. They are wearing long black leather gloves, a white blouse, and a black tie. End ID.]

#i’m trying a new sketching style that I’m really happy with #it turns out sketching with a really shitty paint brush forces the perfectionist part of my brain to switch off #and i think the results are really fun #they’re a lot more free-form and sketchy than i can usually get #if i were sketching with a pencil i’d be constantly erasing trying to get it perfect and then completely give up #but with paint it all feels better #this is probably something real artists already know #i’m sure i’m late to the party #but i’m still excited to see what else i can make in this style #mcr #my chemical romance #gerard way #mcr fanart #gerard way fanart #mcr brisbane #(i think) #my art

say hello to the first Official Canon Characters aboard the HIVE o7 (joking, but they are legit ocs which is kinda weird to say 👀)

random lore + some extra tidbits below the cut

OKAY this is all pretty loose bc i don't wanna get top restrictive with it, the vagueness is half the fun. but here's what i got:

in the “HIVE canon”, sector heads/ranking officers (which for now is just leander and COL ig until i eventually cave and make more lmao) are specifically given custom uniforms and number prefixes instead of the CR[insert number here] format.

the “M” in front of leander’s stands for medbay. COL didn’t pick one so it’s just his name lol.

crewmates can wear any accessories they want as long as the base uniform stays the same (bee arm patches, grey, etc). all crewmate numbers gotta start with CR to be canon, but that doesn't apply to shitpost comics or like. general vibes

(there’s a reason the crew uniforms are grey. it’s the same reason leander made the captain’s gloves. )

the ship shuffles itself! it's not random all of the time, sometimes you open a door and end up in the room you were heading to like a shortcut, but other times you can open a random door and end up in the kitchen, or the training hall, etc etc. i just think an eldritch abomination ship is funny.

weirdly enough though it doesn’t do this in crisis situations. guess it’s only fun if the pranks are harmless ;;

if you get lost, call the captain (ello! o7) or COLONY over comms. they can generally get you wherever you need to go bc COLONY is directly connected to the ship and the captain’s able to make [INQUIRIES], which let us pass freely.

it’s kind of hard to tell if leander has a similar ability. the running theory is no, but he never seems confused?? when he enters a room?? so either he has one or he really just rolls with the punches. both are equally possible tbh.

in actual lore these two were probably some of if not the first few people to be recruited. obvs that’s a retcon now but shhh.

random characters from fandoms still get dragged into our shenanigans. at the end of the day this is all just for fun, and that’s one of the best parts, so hell yeah i’m keeping it.

#ney’s art #tales aboard the hive #ney’s comics #hive crewmates tag (ocs) #i guess we need one of those now—how crazy is that? #if you guys remember me talking about making a sentient robot for the HIVE a while back #that was when i started drafting COL! #leander’s a little older. uh not just in age but like in design #he’s the result of a lot of older attempts finally mashed into a finished character #i’m pretty happy with him actually #he lowkey ended up stealing narry’s fit a little bit but shhh… it’s a uniform it doesn’t count #maybe #original character #ocs #sona art

portrait of my boyfriend that I did based on this kaye donachie painting.

#as with all of my art. I’m tired of looking at it now that it’s done #but. it gives me a specific sense of joy still #it’s the first painting I’ve done in a long while that’s both for myself and something I didn’t feel rushed on or anything #I made a bunch of attempts #I got angry and frustrated and upset #but I kept going until I got this happy result and I’m just glad I got to feel all of that for once #it’s been a while since I’ve gotten the chance to go through my cycles of art and come out happy on the other side #so. it’s nice. #art #digital art #my art 🦷 #digital painting #kaye donachie

The Spectacled Beholder

Name: Doctor Emon Cavendish

Gender: Left it on the surface (he/they))

Height: 6'4" (197cm)

Occupation: Enquirer, working under the Honey-Addled Detective’s wing.

Prominent skills: Watchful, Shadowy, Persuasive

Prominent quirks: Subtle, Heartless, Hedonist, Steadfast

Reputation:

Dr. Cavendish hasn’t been in London long but they’ve surely been busy. It isn’t uncommon to see them skittering through alleyways and avenues alike, keen eyes flitting this and that way in search of opportunity. Not much is known for sure about them, just that he came from the surface and took to the city like it was his to begin with. However, there are rumours about a brother they apparently have on the surface, about their previous life being an overly sheltered one, or even about their academic pursuits being a front for activities tied to The Great Game. For now, the doctor hasn’t sworn allegiance to any faction yet, and their intentions remain a bit of a mystery to any prying eyes.

Personality:

SUBTLE; despite their eccentric appearance, Cavendish is nothing if not discreet. They’ve apparently spent a lot of their life avoiding people’s scrutiny and they prefer to be a fly on the wall rather than the centre of attention.

HEARTLESS; simply put, Cavendish doesn’t much care for the wellbeing of others. They’ve seen what it does to people, caring too much, and they’d rather avoid the hassle. Close relationships are quite alien to them due to this fact, but he’s amused when people try to form one (and someday, someone might sneak through one of his cracks)

HEDONIST; on the surface, the good doctor was said to be a bit of a shut-in, rarely leaving his family’s abode unless strictly necessary. Those restrictions are far behind them now, as they set out to sample all that London has to offer (especially the honey that their Detective friend is so fond of).

STEADFAST; despite their many faults, Cavendish is known to be a person of their word. That word may be bought with coin, secrets or favours, but outside of exceptional circumstances it is a matter of first come, first served.

+bonus: ALLERGIC TO BOREDOM; Cavendish has curiosity in spades as well as an overactive mind that can’t go very long without entertainment. A discerning mind will realise that this is the prime reason why they struggled in high society and why they decided to delve into Fallen London instead. Their smile is brightest when discovering something new and slightly scandalous (perhaps a bit too bright). Due to this they are also quite attracted to all manner of non-human beings found in the Neath.

Example Dialogue:

"Miss Bean,

If we are to cooperate in our investigation I must INSIST on getting rid of those wounds all over your person. I am acquainted with matters of the flesh and its rending (as I am sure you garnered from the scar across my own face, hah!) and I know that leaving a wound untreated is sure to cause unnecessary bleeding at the most inopportune time. If you were to leave a dripping trail of blood behind us right as our investigation is coming to its climax, why I fear I would have to abandon you there and then! And I would so miss your charm. Meet me in my lodgings within the next three days, I have some medical supplies left over from my latest errand for the Department of Menace Eradication.

Ever your servant,

Dr. E. Cavendish”
