Any WIP's you wanna share? 🔫

Man, always, but I also feel like I'm running low on WIPs to share lol. it's hard to keep track of what's already been shared. What to pick from, tho, what to pick from...

Have a snip from this fic that's just been sitting on my computer for too long. It's technically done, idk why I haven't posted it. Fits in with not alone series, Allison finds Five in a low moment:

There’s one of Five’s problems, right there, Allison thinks. Another one they don’t know how to fix. “What about you?”

“What about me?” he repeats back dully, tucking himself tighter into his ball.

“What about your happy ending?”

He doesn’t respond for a long time. They watch another delivery at the florist on the corner. She thinks he’s just not when he mumbles, “This is it, isn’t it? My good ending.”

Allison tightens her grip on his foot. He doesn’t react to it.

“Really,” he adds, almost to himself, “what do I have to complain about? Got everything I wanted. Well, five-sixths of what I wanted. That’s pretty good.”

Her heart aches for Ben, too. She wonders how that grief, now dull and familiar after all these years, would twist if she technically had the ability to save him but still couldn’t. Five is Five, so he must have tried; the fact that they don’t have Ben means there’s something that stopped him. She won’t ask. “You did really good, Five.”

He hums absently. “Never said I didn’t. Could have done better, though.” He glances at her, an eyebrow raised in a sad mockery of playful. “’Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.’”

It’s times like this where it really slaps her in the face that her brother truly is a fifty-eight-year-old man trapped as a thirteen-year-old. The weight to his gaze around how he’s trying to lighten the mood for her is extraordinary. That did sound like a quote, though, the cadence he said it with. “Is that from something?”

Five shrugs. “Something or other. I only found the one page of it. Some play. It was at a point where most other paper had disintegrated if I hadn’t saved it, so it was an interesting find. Stuck with me.”

“It’s a good quote,” she offers.

The corner of his mouth twitches up. “It does sound rather profound. Which means it’s probably the only good line from the worst play that no one ever saw. That’s my luck.”

Allison smiles with him, although it cuts her a little bit.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

She looks back outside.

“You don’t usually talk about this stuff,” she says after a beat.

He sighs. “And I shouldn’t. You don’t need to deal with any of it and here I am dumping it on you. Guess you caught me at the wrong time.”

“Or the right time. I’m always happy to listen, Five.”

He gives her a flat look. “Nothing about this is happy.”

“You know what I mean. I’d rather you weren’t stewing in it by yourself. We want to help.”

“The whole point of everything was you wouldn’t have to. I’m fine, Allison. Really. Turns out I’m just a tired and maudlin old man. Who could have seen that coming.”

Allison rubs her thumb over the top of his foot. He still hasn’t pulled it away from her so it must be ok. His word choice gives her pause. “You haven’t been drinking, right?”

Another flat look. “Three, it’s two in the afternoon.”

The not yet goes unspoken but she hears it. “Touché,” she says anyway, her heart thumping funny at him calling her by her number. It’s something he’d done when they were kids, too; they’d had real names by the time they were nine but Five, as the lone number left, was the only one still allowed to use the numbers. He did rarely, when particularly irritated or – in truly rare instances – particularly affectionate.

It's something she’d forgotten. Another piece of him, still there.

#i am soft for this fic #five leaks a little bit about the apocalypse #the quote is from arthur miller's the ride down mt morgan #felt like a good quote for five #tua #snips #number 5 #ask response

For the artist ask,

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

Oooooh You picked some of the fun ones right off the bat >:D 4.

OH MAN. UH. Can i say everything SDFJSDLKGJSDLGKSDGSG NO BUT FOR REAL I feel like I'm struggling with everything recently xD I can say I feel like im fistfighting him every time I sit down and draw Wolfwood 😔 I think he's so neat but I have no idea how to draw him. AS for subjects. Hands and Mechanical items tend to always be a struggle for me. I feel i've improved VASTLY over the years. But I still end up feeling like I'm going insane sometimes when drawing both. Poses that include bending down/curling up/just a lot of torso bend or inward curl DESTROY ME. I have NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. I feel like I struggle with those A LOT. I should do some studies on them I think that could really help. Also Knees. What is wrong with knees. 7.

OOooooh. Oooh that's a tough one. I have a few!! I love the look of watercolors. Specifically I love watercolor fanart? Usually it looks like its mixed with Inkpens for outlines/lineart. RESIN. RESIN IS SO COOL LOOKING AND SO VERSATILE. I however Have No Space For That Kind Of Project ^^;; I've worked a little bit with clay? But I love watching people make like. Custom clay models for stuff. I haven't gotten into doing that YET but I hope to in the future. 8. Reading this question made me realize how many projects I haven't touched in ages, but if i had time and enthusiasm i'd love to come back to ;;v;; But if I had to name a few it'd be most of my ideas related to RWBY. For people who've been following since early Deviant Art days I was doing a series of RWBY crossed over with Sonic? That project had at least 3 more images left in it (i think more) and I honestly don't really see myself going back and finishing it 😔 I tend to say "Never say Never" because I've proven myself wrong a LOT. But I do feel like its unlikely. Most projects tho I can't say I'm not interested. because yeah the likelihood that I have the time to go back to them is low given how much i keep getting IN to. But the idea of finishing them or coming back to them? I'm not against it! :D

That is most likely all I'll be posting about the new DetCo movie, just btw, bc it was simply so appalling. The person I reblogged it from compared it to the Luke-Leia situation but for over 20 years and they ain't wrong! The worst part is that the two series weren't even supposed to be connected; iirc Gosho once described them like alternate universes of each other, p much. I don't know if that's still a thing, tho, bc they have direct canonical crossovers, and also, Kaito's motives would be pretty hard to explain away otherwise.

The second, slightly less worse but still bad part, is that I haven't actually seen any of the movies at all since movie 23, bc good subs for movie 24 simply Do Not Exist yet. It's been years and I don't think that there is going to be any good subs for that one, at this rate; it's too old for people to bother with, and that's upsetting to me bc I've been waiting a long time to watch any of the others after that one bc I could not see this one. hh.

Third, highly trivial part (in the grand scheme of things): I actually was a bit fond of that ship. Okay bye.

#oh well. at least there's still hakuba ig.#dunno who I'd ship kaito with tho; ig I'll just stop caring about shipping him #it really is kind of bad tho bc like I said; *over twenty years*#and I bet that gosho made fuckin BANK off of it; too; I mean just LOOK at movie 23!! or hell even just movie 19!! movie 14; even!!#they played it up wherever they could; they would have to be completely stupid not to have realized it or registered it #so I can only think that they were doing this deliberately; sure nothing concrete was ever said or done like. At All #but they put all those scenes in there bc they KNEW that even referencing it would put asses in seats #idk it feels kind of predatory... but also not enough that they can directly be called out for it either. which is frustrating for sure #bc I know they knew what they were doing...
