Copper Sun

Last week we brought you Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen's (1903-1946) first major poem The Ballad of the Brown Girl. Today we present Cullen's second collected book of poetry, Copper Sun, published in New York by Harper & Brothers in 1927, with illustrations by the same artist who illustrated Ballad, the unrelated Art Deco artist Charles Cullen (1887-?). Copper Sun is a collection of over fifty poems that explore race, religion, and sexuality in Jazz Age America, and particularly the possibility of unity between white and black people, as exemplified in the two Cullens, one black, the other white.

If this child is a boy, Amari thought, I shall name him Freeman. He will stand tall and proud and be forever free. I shall teach him my native language and tell him of the beauties of my homeland. If it is a girl, I shall name her Afi, after the one who loved me and helped me find my destiny. I will tell this child of her ancestors and her grandparents and tell her the stories my father told me. My child shall never be enslaved, Amari vowed fiercely.

-Amari

When no one is looking...

#lmk #lego monkie kid #lego monkey kid #sun wukong #six eared macaque #shadowpeach #myart #fanart #ok so I have a headcanon that inspired this whole thing #and hopefully with this added context it'll make the piece a whole lot better :3c #So because Macaque died #he probably runs at a lower body temperature (akin to a corpse some days)#and struggles to feel warmth #Wukong on the other hand definitely has trauma associated with extreme heat #ie: being force fed red hot iron pellets and molten copper #being cooked in the trigram furnace for 49 days #and being scorched by the samahdi fire #so in the middle of a blistering hot summer day #they begrudgingly get attracted to eachother like magnets #Wukong bringing warmth to Macaque #and Macaque bringing relief to Wukong #balancing eachother out #but ofc they're still dumb about it #wouldn't be shadowpeach if they were angry about being exactly where they wanted to be :3c #thANK YOU for reading this far in the tags #I hope you enjoy the art

Post fire au y/n meets Cryptid Hunter y/n because it would literally be the most perfect crossover ever. I can't get enough of y/nverse

Copper is a caretaker with kids. Struggling. Protective energy rn. Mechanic. Traumatized. They are practically already besties with cryptid eclipse and hunter. Eclipse is a cryptid caretaker who adores children to the point he'll kill rulebreakers who hurt them. Hunter is traumatized and has lots of hero complex stuff going on which honestly I think Copper would relate to the hero complex stuff a lot.

TLDR: They'd get along.

Or at least have fun interactions along the way.

Post fire au characters are from @paper-lilypie (hopefully tumblr actually notifies you of this @ this time)

and cryptid sightings characters from @naffeclipse

Some spoilers for Cryptid Sightings but I think it's just really minor stuff

Much more under the cut :)

If they met after Hunter knew that Cryptid Eclipse was a cryptid all along, they wouldn't be worrying about how destroyed their sweetie's animatronic vessel are when they visit.

So. Cryptid Sun and Moon go after rulebreakers who harm children n stuff. Post fire sun and moon. Have blood covered hands.

The moment they realize. They better book it before Copper's boo is torn to shreds

Meanwhile Cryptid Moon is just having fun with the kids because you know they'd get along

Explosion noises in their minds rn this is so cool they are literally meeting a cryptid woah

Maes is a little more nervous but since Cryptid Moon isn't acting scary right now it's okay

oop

Since post fire au Sun and Moon still got some virus issues in the beginning, their status was debatable. The more time Cryptid Eclipse spends around them, the more they recognize they're gulity lol

Cryptid Eclipse may be the kids new uncle but he's not allowed to beat up their favorite dads.

And lastly some interactions I think would definitely happen:

And lastly some interactions I think would definitely happen

Also, Hunter would think Post Fire Sun and Moon are so cool since they are actual animatronics with advanced ai like WOAH

ALSO I didn't get around to drawing it since my eyes hurt like heck rn BUT with the amount of love both y/ns get from their boys, they'd relate to each other in that way as well

I am a simple Man

I love Sun and Moon

I love detective noir stuff

Combine the two and I'm dead where I stand

For real though, I am IN LOVE With @starlightcloudbaby 's Detective AU

Their designs for the boys are top tier

Combine that with @naffeclipse 's godly fic writing and I've got a fullblown obsession

Seriously I'M BEGGING YOU TO READ SLEUTH JESTERS

It's my favorite Fic of all time

I literally read it once a Month

I LOVE THIS AU AND I LOVE THIS FIC

What're you still doing here??? GO READ SLEUTH JESTERS

Seeing Chilchuck being drawn with variable hair colours (from bright ginger to mud-brown) kinda reminds me of a friend I have who’s ‘debatably ginger’ and I find that hilarious.

#she looks brunette in stale/grey lighting but her hair lights up with a copper shine in some brighter environments or in the sun #technically Chilchuck’s hair is auburn or smth but even Ryoko Kui draws it variably depending on the colour palette #chilchuck #chilchuck tims #dungeon meshi

"I feel that this journey will be very long."

Amari touched Afi gently.

"Many will die," Afi said quietly. "Some will live but will die inside. Others will pray for death and be forced to live. But we all will be changed forever."
