Grian landed gracefully on the wood floor; it hardly moved. Scar stood up shakily, the floor warping under his feet.
“Grian!” He called out. This wasn’t his Grian— he knew that— but the sight of him was breathtaking nevertheless. “Grian..!” Scar walked until he was in arms reach of his friend.
Blue eyes narrowed at him, glancing down at his sword. At the sight of the fresh blood, Grian stepped away from him. He played it off with a grin, but Scar saw through it.
Grian was afraid of him.
“What— are you dressing up as the Boogeyman, mayor?” Grian laughed, hands on his hips. He wasn’t wearing much armor at all. At least, not nearly as much as Scar was. “All gray skin and red eyes? Very stereotypical of you.”
Scar mimicked Grian’s fake smile. They were dancing the steps of a dance neither of them knew. A timeless tango. Scar could continue to dance with this blue-eyed Grian, sure, but he could also continue the search for his Grian.
“Nah,” Scar shrugged, “I’m the Red King. The blood, the red eyes. Don’t I look just like him?”
Scar gave a twirl as he laughed at Grian’s dumbfounded expression. “The Red—?”
Scar turned and began to walk out of the Barge, interrupting Grian. He ignored Grian’s sputtering by pulling out the control panel. He stared at World 24 as it blinked up at him. What else could he try? Well, there was his favorite number or maybe—
“Scar!” Grian yelled louder than he had ever heard him. His wings were spread wide, revealing white eyes in his red feathers. Scar couldn’t look away from them. They were entrancing, like a rattlesnake’s rattle. Scar wondered if there were any rattlesnakes in the desert. Maybe, he had walked past some without realizing. Did they blend in? Were they like chameleons?
“Scar.” Grian gripped his shoulder. Scar’s eyes blurred, the world turning hazy. He glanced up at Grian, half-expecting to see those familiar emerald eyes. All he got was a frozen lake. “Tell me what’s going on.”
Was he hypnotizing him? Was Scar being hypnotized? He’d tried to hypnotize his Grian once…
“I’m looking for you.”
“Uh-huh.” Grian nodded. Tears began to form in Scar’s eyes. “I’m right here.”
His hand shook as he typed in World 3 without looking away from Grian’s cruel gaze. This Grian was nothing like his.
“No, you aren’t.” Tears ran down his face. Grian smiled. “You’re cruel.”
Scar hit enter and felt his body being sucked through universes. He closed his eyes and begged the universe to send him back to his world— back to his Grian.
The universe had never been kind to him before. It wasn’t going to start now.

Hello internet, I still do art
No one on here probably cares, (eh, I could be wrong) but I’ve been developing that Funkin’ With You AU I made like, a year ago, maybe? 2 years ago? I forgot. I made the decision that it’s split into two sections, Week 1 to 7 (until Week 8 comes out….then again with what I did with Week 3 and writing Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest may change that week’s story if we…ever find out the story) and Mods, even though Sky appeared in Chapter 1 of the written version.
I’ve been calling this the “adaptation AU” because I’ve been trying to get their stories close to the OG while also being writing it somewhat different, as this is supposed to be an “adaptation”. And as such, I have the urge to give them a bit of a design change (except Soft Pico but that’s because I didn’t have it in me to fully change his design) so it doesn’t feel like I slapped them into the story. I’ve been making a habit of actually drawing them and not having them be sprite edits, so I have a bit more freedom with how I design them.
I just wanted to show everyone these because I’ve been showing most of my art in my Discord server and haven’t been talking with anyone outside of that unless it’s for posting videos on YT.

So... I still haven't forgotten the ZToT AU I created, but I have a lot of wips in progress and I don't know which one to finish first so I'm drawing everything at once... Grhatgah ! ฅ(>ω<ฅ)
I'm currently doing the line art on a tablet, but it's still messy so... Here is the sketch of Soldier/Captain Construct! Moon (Don't mind to the fact that he's supposed to be holding a zonaite sword in his hand, but it's floating mysteriously beside him.) (=• ▽ •= ;)
