I know the show isn't out yet but Stayed Gone is stuck in my head and I'm chugging my yandere Vox juice so hard right now. I think he has the capacity to be absolutely insufferable
Tumblr media
---for starters THE SPYING POTENTIAL WITH THIS MAN. You're telling me he can directly plug himself in to the city power grid and see through all televisions, potentially even phones and computers too? Could he put himself on your phone and start going through your texts? Could he even just put himself on your phone real quick while you're sleeping to check in on you? You couldn't even have privacy in your own home because of whatever screens are around he could potentially shoot himself to or watch you through. Imagine just being in your apartment completely alone and he's suddenly on your tv. Like what if you had just been sitting there topless or with your dick out or something or 👀 I mean. He could see so much, really...
---God honestly like. You know I keep mentioning the Instagram without ever attaching pics or anything because I'm on mobile and I'd have to use the hazbin Instagram archive blogs here on tumblr to go find them back like, you know Val would openly post the meanest shit, would literally post Vox's face being busted up because he woke Val up from a nap or i think it was he literally just brought him the wrong soda (which to be fair was taken from Velvet and was half empty), and then you go over to Vox's account and his pic was taping his pieces back on while being really frustrated and kinda lowkey looking like he would cry
Like Val's out here "women are stupid also men are stupid too" and talking about how he adopted a dog and killed it within like 48 hours and here's Vox celebrating his pet's birthday with cake and a party like. Why are these men together. Why. Why. Don't get me wrong I love to be the involuntary third in a toxic codependency but--
look all I'm saying is... do any of you get really really upset when you see someone being mistreated, especially more so a friend of yours?
READER JUST LOSING THEIR SHIT GETTING FERAL ANGRY SHOUTING AND SCREAMING AT VAL BECAUSE HE PULLS SOME SHIT and like that's IT for you because 1. Valentino might like actually backhand you one as well, do you think he wears rings so it hurts, 2. Vox sees you defending him and like, it's based on your own preferences really but if he wasn't already gaga this CEMENTS it and 3. especially if he watches you have to take a blow for trying to stick up for him. Like what if you cry. I have a low pain threshold, I'd be sniveling and crying at the least. Valentino storms off and Vox is helping peel you off the floor cause you curled up into a ball or some shit and he's sitting there thinking "wow they suck at this but they still did it for me 🥺"
---during his song with Alastor, it's a little confusing because they show an actual camera crew when he's turning the TVs on, but i think it's pretty clear that he can control whatever the screens show visually, thus his little zany sketches and being able to talk to himself and at one point, showed the visual of himself blocking the radio Alastor was projecting on right next door. I can just see him using this to kind of.... fuck with you, really! Or do whatever he wants? He's trying to suck up to you and he's surrounded by roses, or you're his co-host/guest host and he thinks your joke was funny and gives a little audience laughter as a treat
Or you know... you're running from him down the street, passing all these different screens and displays as they power on and show things like, him "jumping in front of you" while demanding you stop or, trying to show some kind of blackmail publicly, or just, begging you to just ACCEPT HIM and showing you all the fun things he could do with you, "cmon, I said I was sorry, stop freaking the fuck out! We can- we can do that thing you've always wanted to do, what about that?!" as he tries to project you two doing something fun, but most importantly, doing it TOGETHER. You're running from him terrified and he's showing you images of like you two smiling and happy or, it becomes scarier as he's more desperate
"Don't-don't make me do something fucked up!! I'm serious, STOP RUNNING" and he's like freaking out, showing shit of trying to hold you down, tying you up, and/or shoving you into a locked room
Sudden thoughts of "what if the more emotional and unstable he becomes, the less he can control his intrusive thoughts and shows his more impulsive darker desires". He's tweeking and the screen glitches and you briefly think you see yourself completely restrained, blindfolded, gagged--
---he's just like OBVIOUSLY so prideful but also immature and whiny ("who gives a shit about alastor?" Well you, mr hes just quietly minding his own business and I'LL start beef because i feel threatened and STILL LOSE, like awww my poor little pogchamp got publicly humiliated in an argument HE started out of nowhere, he's my little sad wet baby lmaoooo) and we already know his relationship with Val can become physically abusive, so, you pair him staying in that kind of relationship, being codependent, with this personality of his, and I can just see.... ACTUALLY FUCKING TRIGGERED LIKE LITERALLY CRYING UPSET VOX BECAUSE YOU REJECTED HIM like he's pissed he's hurt he's lonely he's heartbroken and HELL NO IS HE GONNA ACCEPT THIS
Vox would be over here proudly claiming on his TV show that NO HE REJECTED Y O U, not the other way around! He's not upset! He's totally fine! Meanwhile everyone watching can tell this man is manic and visibly hotboxing copium, "I didn't even really like you anyways!!.... no, I mean, shit, fuck, COMMERCIAL BREAK--" *cut to technical difficulties screen because the man is CRYINGGG*
-- Valentino and Reader bonding over teasing Vox and making him flustered and of course, obviously, the inverse. I still kinda like the idea of "they both think you're cute but like nothing exciting until one night they bump into you unplanned and you're all dressed up". Like Val is from the 70s or 80s so they go to a roller rink disco whatever kinda place because I'm sure the coke game there is INSANE and you're just like, swaying your hips spinning around to Let It Whip or September or something dressed in some shorts that make your ass look just right 🤌
You're sneaking back into the studio after a night out and they're both lounging somewhere and Val's like "uhhhh who is THIS coming in without saying hi to Daddy?" and you pull your sunglasses down like "SIR??? 😳" And now HE'S flustered because he didn't know that was you and Vox is feeling some new kinda way because he's used to seeing you in like, your work uniform or casual wear
Val who then makes your work uniform really slutty and you have to serve him and Vox wearing it 😩❤️
---I have this thought of like lmao imagine walking down the sidewalk with Angel and seeing Vox on TV and Angel is like "ya know he can see everything outta dese things when he's plugged in" and you're like "bullshit, he couldn't possibly process that many screens at once, it'd overload his brain, he wouldnt be able to concentrate" and you're like "here I'll prove it, hey Vox, check it out you fucking dweeb" and flash him your bare titties or you MOON HIM
scenario A would be that he INSTANTLY barks out laughing, "hey Val, that dumb slut who brings you drinks just flashed me!" And he just totally shows it on the air, maybe partially censored, maybe not at all, your phone is ringing IMMEDIATELY, of COURSE it's Val, and Vox is broadcasting your mortified embarrassed expression, "our big story tonight: drunk bimbo fucks around and finds out! More updates after this word from our sponsor!" and the man will noooootttttttt stop bullying the fuck out of you afterwards, because he's got a crush on you and you're like someone weaker than him his insecure ass can punch down on
Scenario B is that he instantly turns pink and about 5 seconds later he blue screens and the entire city experiences a blackout and when he comes back on the air he's like stammering and, glancing at, it FEELS like he keeps glancing at you, but, is he really?
------
I dunno... like I'm sure Valentino is gonna wind up being unstable in his own way but I guess there's a certain, ALLURE to Vox being a little bratty and whiny while also having these very VERY handy, actually quite scary abilities and resources 👀 like boy show me what that screen do 😫💦

FORGOTTEN LAND'S SECOND ANNIVERSARY :3
I AM SOOOO BACK
Tumblr media
I started this drawing yesterday around afternoon and finished it just a few minutes earlier.
I went with a messier type of drawing instead of more clean like the elfilin one from yesterday, i find it fun doing it like this, mostly cause i dont have to worry about making it perfectly so i dont get as frustrated as normal. Id place this one as my second best digital drawing. im pretty sure i havent posted what i consider my best digital drawing here, tho i do have it in instagram, i might post it here one day, tho these two are way too tied up, i love how this came out, its not exactly like how i imagined it but its really close to it, and also itd say that since i dont tend to play around lighting that much, this was such a joy to draw and i cant help but stare at it a lot, at least until i start hating it because i made quite a lot of errors. i also changed my elfilis gijinka just a tad bit from last time, but its not that big of a difference, mostly.
ofc i had to draw elfilis for forgotten land's anniversary, i tend to deny it in my head but yeah they're my fave of the kirby characters even tho i hate them a bit. I wanted to draw some more doodles, like, elfilis eating cake, kirby car, a bunch of other stuff (not elfilin cuz i already drew him yesterday) but when i tried i couldnt draw anything more, guess this drawing burned me out a lot, huh?
you can definitly tell i spent all the efforts on him cuz if you look a bit closer to the bottom part you'll see its almost barely detailed, but i mean, they're the focus so make sense i guess for me not add that much detail there. um also, maybe because i dunno i had OVER 130 LAYERS jeez no wonder firealpaca was slowing down so much, i need to manage my layers better next time, tho i did do something i keep forgetting, wich is naming them (most of them at least) that was a real life saver
Also, antares (fecto elfilis' spear/cadaceus), as always, was a pain to draw, but this time its probably been draw the most accurate out of every other drawing ive made with it in it, i didnt notice it was like, a little curved when it reached the blade
some close ups since his face is a bit hard to see
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
silly :3
fun fact! actually, this is technically a redraw, somewhere around between february and march i started a fecto elfilis drawing for the first anniversary, but i couldnt finish it in time, and i never finished it
Tumblr media
thats...quite the improvement! (i remember being so proud of it)
also his wings are like that cuz i did not want to draw the pattern, its way too hard, i literally copy pasted it, wait, i was talking about the 2024 version but i looked at the 2023 one and i just noticed it also has the pattern copy pasted, i guess some stuff never changes since i still abuse the ctrl+c ctrl+v to this day
Also i ended up making a huge error there, i was planing to add the phantom spears from orbital pulsar (the attack he does first when you battle them at lab discovera) but theres an innacuracy, when they do the attack, they always close their eyes, i had actually sketched him (well i mean both these drawings are basically the first sketch (2023) or second sketch(2024) with some color, shadows and lighting. i didnt do lineart in the 2024 one cuz i wanted to be a bit like the og i made (too bad i sketched that one with black since the og was sketched with white due to me drawing the bg first)) with his eyes closed but them decided to make them open for a reason i cant remember, maybe i thought itd look nicer? idk
ive had the idea of redrawing this for quite some month now so it was kinda already planned
background cuz i think it came out really pretty
Tumblr media
doesnt have the little stars since without elfilis and the structures it looks fucked up. the actual sky in game is more blue, but the clouds have some orange, in the 2023 ver. i made the sky orange, and in the 2024 ver i wanted it more accurate, but i didnt wanna loose the orange sky, so i did a gradient. pretty...
Tumblr media
also here's a screenshot i took when i was like halfway trough it, its barely noticeable but i changed his mouth in the final drawing
I really love katfl, like a buncha whole lot, its basically almost my first mainline kirby game. 100% the demo, finished the game in almost one day, i literally play it monthly, like, every month i put the card in my switch, start it up, get morpho sword, and go shred elfilis in lab discovera. i would probably not even be here on tumblr and the kirby fandom if it werent for it. and i love it so much i genuinly cannot express how much i like it and treasure it with words or anything
Thank you for reading my unnecesarily long rambles lol
I hope i'll post tomorrow and dont forget like usual
Jambuhbye!

Long Post I’ve been encouraged to share my Doc Ock art here. 🫣 I’ve started digital drawing around one and a half years ago and while I have improved over time it’s just a hobby, so… don’t expect too much… all I am capable of is a kind of comic style. Hope Tumblr keeps at least a bit of the details (like the dusting of chest hair)…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
See, there is concept art of a Da Vinci inspired mural in Dr. Octavius’ lab. Of course it never made it into the movie but I loved the idea so much that I created my own version of it. Well… two actually…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What can I say… These shameless self inserts sort happened right after I saw No Way Home in cinema… 🫠
Tumblr media
This one is called “Foreshadowing”. It began as an idea after conversation between me and a friend on Instagram about Otto’s “Rosie, our new friend thinks I’m gonna blow up the city”. The bloody handprint points to the later hospital massacre.
Tumblr media
Yeah and this was a quick sketch for an Instagram DIYS challenge. Raimi Otto meeting The Spectacular Spider-Man Otto.
I appreciate reblogs and comments if you enjoy these drawings but please be fair and don’t repost my art.

People being normal about my TADC fanart
Spoilers: This shit ain't normal ya'll need help
Let's start with the one obviously made to garner the bigger reaction
Tumblr media
Like, the joke is pretty obvious, right? Everyone wants to either sex the rabbit or have someone else sex the rabbit, so since it's physically impossible for them to actually do it I wanted to make a joke about that.
Meanwhile, people on Instagram are treating this like it's straight up-porn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Are you kidding me? If I actually drew straight-up porn of them, I could at least get the "fandom sucks" comments but mentally ill?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A YEAR? A fucking YEAR? Are these two people like eons old and only see a year as a tiny blip of time in their lives? Do they have any idea how long a year is? I could get it if they meant like a week or maybe even a month, but a year is actually just absurd. Do they really think it normally takes anything close to that long for people to realize they're attracted to a character, and make art of it? Most people can produce a piece of art in a few hours, maybe a day if they really put the effort into it.
Anyway here's a perfectly normal reply to the post. I want to believe this person made this photoshop specifically just to reply to my post, because I would love that even more.
Tumblr media
Next up we actually have the opposite problem. Take a look at this one
Tumblr media
The first TADC art I wanted to make, mostly because I had a really cool idea of putting Pomni in a 3D background, and later thought to actually animate it and make it spin. Obviously I wanted to stylize her a bit differently than in the official animation because I'm basically a sucker for poofy pants/sleeves/shoulderpads whatever, so I just made them bigger, as well as her jester hat cuz obviously.
And to be fair, many more people are normal about this one, but still:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do they think they're just like, funny or something? While some people nowadays are like "all horny thoughts of fictional characters are sin" others are like "haha sexo funni" and I guess make that their personality. It's just as dumb and annoying. If you want to fuck a character, just fucking admit it. You look even stupider if you're like "haha I wanna fuck her but I don't want people to think I'm actually serious"
Tumblr media
This kind of thing happened with a comment on Newgrounds of a sketch of NiGHTS I did a while back. What do they think she looks like under there? It sounds like they think I gave her stick legs but also the fattest ass on the planet, like she was some candied apple on a stick or something. Personally if it were even possible to remove her clothes, my headcanon would basically be that her body looks like Finn from Adventure Time
But yeah there are more passively dumb ones but these comments are specific enough to form thoughts out of. Obviously can't keep this up but hey, just let me dish out my feelings for my first bombardment of attention on the internet lol
Strangely enough, I don't actually want to have sexual relations with the clown. I got enough other characters to form horny thoughts of. Just lay off it, man.

4, 8, 20, 23 for the artist asks!
4. Favorite Thing to Draw Faces, facial expressions, Pointy ears, Glow Magic stuff, landscape (traditional, abstract), Puns
8. What's the most fun and the least fun parts about your process
Most Fun:
Ideally this lightning of giddy inspiration strikes and I just MUST DRAW or else I will be unable to do anything else. (This is an unreliable reason to do art however, so it should never be depended upon)
But even if this aspect is missing, I like the part where everything of an idea clicks into place. The research starts to come together, the moodboard is helping, the scribbles turn into a sketch, turn into lineart.
Hyperfocus!!!! Hyperfocus is so great to be in. It satisfies my brain being able to hyperfocus on a piece of art and suddenly hours passed by but I finished a thing!!!
Creative activity to me often corresponds with problem solving. The problem often being, that the image I want to exist does not exist. So actually being in the process of problem solving and actually seeing results, thats fun!
Another fun thing - this specifically applies for me to fanart - is when I know a specific person, friend, mutual will enjoy the thing I'm working on as well. It's like "aaah the thing I'm making will probably excite my friend, I can't wait to see their reaction!!!"
Least Fun:
Repetition. I h a t e repeating things I have already done. I don't like doing repetitive tasks or redoing work because I lost my progress due to software crashing. It used to be the thing that would easiest stop me from drawing something. I've gained a bit of a better attitude and harder shell over the years over the course of various professional projects, but it's still a big bummer.
I find posting/uploading + tagging my content on different platforms to be a chore and rather tedious. It has made me think I should just quit twitter/instagram all together because I neither get the interactivity one would want out of them, nor do I necessarily gain any financial benefit from them. Tumblr and YouTube are the most fun to post to, but I know my audience i limited on Tumblr to those, who use tumblr.
Posting in general, while it does result in positive feedback and attention and all that external validation at times, I just find the process boring and rather stressful. Formatting my images to actually be top-notch quality and not be compressed by various platforms takes time, so I actually often just don't do it in the first place.
20. a piece from this year that you're really proud of
I think the one I'm most proud of is one that is not available to the public as of yet. It's an animated short (8 minutes) about coping with the escape from a domestic violence and abuse situation. Most of the work on this was done the years prior to this year, but I did finish a substantial amount of the final animation this year, so I think that still counts. I won't share a link to the video right now, probably in about a year or so. But here are some images from the film:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After finishing that film... long animation does not scare me as much anymore to make. :) If we want to talk strictly limited to this year and this year only - I will probably say my TAZ Graduation Animations [1] [2] [3] and this character design commission!
23. what's something you hope people notice when looking at your art
Uh... that one is actually kinda tough. I don't really know?
Unless the piece has a specific message/vibe I want them to definitely feel (e.g. my domestic violence film), a lot of times I just want people to enjoy the art?
I guess the normal expectation is, I want them to notice my effort? But even then, with 5 minute doodles, that's not effort that's just.. braindump so this answer does not feel quite universal.
A lot of times though, this specifically applies to animation and maybe comics - I am always pleased when people point out things I put in that were not required to make something work, but are fun to see anyways. (e.g. people pointing out ear wiggles, sign language, background action, Fitzroy getting more angry once he notices Argo's upsetness...) It's nice to see I did not add that detail and decor in vain.
In a way I hope people will notice the things and nuance I put there specifically for people to take notice of. (if that makes sense)

August 22, 2019 (2): Will we go to the flatshare or to Laura’s tomorrow?
(previous play)
You can find more information about the authors, translators, content warning and additional information about the plays in the pinned post on our blog.
Thursday, 10:43 pm:
David: *he and Matteo have agreed on what to order but haven’t looked at the prices on purpose* *they got comfortable on the balcony and had a delicious meal and beverages and even left some food over for later* *they went bathing together afterwards and then they got comfortable on the bed again* *he sketched a little in his book while Matteo was playing something on his phone* *eventually asks without looking up from the sketchbook* Will we go to the flatshare or to Laura’s tomorrow?
Matteo: *has checked instagram and then played on his phone a little while David sketches* *looks up at his question and has to laugh a little* Wow, we really didn’t have to ask ourselves that question in a while… umm, I don’t really care, on Saturday we’ll be at the flatshare, anyways, so maybe to your place first? *only then realizes that David said “to Laura’s” and not “to my place”* *therefore grins slightly* So to Laura’s… did you already move in mentally?
David: *grins slightly when Matteo says that they didn’t have to ask themselves that question in a while and briefly thinks that they only have to ask themselves that question for only one more week and then they won’t have to do that for the next three months* *nods at his suggestion* Okay… *then looks up at Matteo’s addition and it takes a moment for him to understand what Matteo means* *laughs quietly and is then exaggeratedly sappy* In my mind, my home is wherever you are anyways… so right now it’s here… *then gets serious again and concentrates on the last few strokes of his sketch* But first to Laura’s is good… it’ll be interesting to see how much of the apartment is still left and how much Laura has already brought to Alex’ or packed into boxes…
Matteo: *laughs quietly when he’s sappy* Yes, we already clarified that, anyways… *wants to kiss him, but can see that he’s still concentrating and therefore doesn’t do it* *only nods at his suggestion* Yes, I can really imagine that she’s gone a little crazy and that she already did really a lot… we’ll see… and after the party we’ll help her…
David: *nods with a grin when Matteo says that they already clarified that, anyways* *then groans quietly at his next words* The important thing is that we’re allowed to arrive first and that she doesn’t want us to immediately start helping. Sunday’s really early enough. Well at least my room will be packed up within a day… *closes his sketchbook and puts it on the nightstand next to him* *scoots over to Matteo, lifts his arm and puts his head onto his shoulder* *presses a quick kiss to his cheek and then says* If she annoys us, then we’ll go to the flatshare, after all!
Matteo: *laughs slightly when he groans* We’ll definitely manage… Laura is just tense… *grins when David lifts his arm and when he lies down on top of him* *properly wraps his arm around him and also kisses him* *then laughs* Yep… we’ll do that… it’s somehow nice that we still have the possibility. *then scoots down a little and pulls David with him* So? Who are you looking forward the most to seeing again?
David: *humms in agreement when Matteo says that Laura is tense* *then smiles when Matteo also kisses him and wraps an arm around his stomach* *then scoots down with him, so that they can lie more comfortably, and thinks about Matteo’s question* Hmmm… to Laura… when she’s relaxed… and apart from her… *scoots around a little more and takes Matteo’s hand* ...I don’t know… everyone somehow. The boys… but also Hans and Linn somehow… *looks up to him and then asks* And you?
Matteo: *humms slightly when he says Laura* *then plays with his fingers a little while he thinks* Hmmm, yes also the flatshare-people… and the boys… and also Laura… *grins slightly* Somehow to everyone… but probably for only ten minutes and then I want some peace again… *shrugs one shoulder* But I’m looking forward to the party… even if I’m sure a lot of people will cry…
David: *smiles when Matteo names mostly the same people he did and then laughs quietly* We won’t have quiet until our next holiday… or if we should miracuously have the flatshare to ourselves again, after all… *then nods and humms in agreement* I’m also looking forward to the party… *then laughs again quietly* I’m sure the girls will cry… all of them… and I think Alex would love to cry… but not in front of the others… *slightly presses his lips together when he thinks about Alex and then says hesitantly* I thought about going over to his place on Monday evening… no idea… I think saying goodbye is really hard for him… it might not be so good if he’s alone… or do you think that’s stupid?
Matteo: *grins slightly* Yes, I think so, too… if we have to, then we’ll just kick everyone out… *then also nods* Yes, Kiki and Hanna definitely… Amira and Sam might pull themselves together… *slightly presses his lips together when he mentions Alex* *nods* Probably… has to be really hard… *then hears David’s suggestion and thinks that he’s really a good friend* *shakes his head* Not at all stupid… I think it’s good… I’m sure it’ll help him. Maybe we should also do another ping-pong session and invite him along, as a distraction…
David: *grins at Matteo’s suggestion of kicking everyone out* Exactly… *then laughs quietly* Or next to the cleaning schedule we’ll put up a schedule of when each of us can have the flatshare to themselves… *humms at Matteo’s prognosis of which girls will cry* *doesn’t know any of them that well yet and is curious to see if he’s right* *smiles when Matteo likes his idea of visiting Alex on Monday and nods vigorously at his idea* Yes, definitely! As much distraction as possible… during the first week he can help with the move… in the second week Jonas and Abdi will have to help out, as well… you and Carlos will already be working by then… and then I’ll keep him busy after the mastectomy…
Matteo: *laughs quietly* Awesome plan… you can introduce that then… *grins when David is so taken up in planning something for Alex* Yeees, good, but maybe also not too forced, otherwise he’ll surely be annoyed… *shrugs one shoulder* Dunno, but if you were gone, then I’d also like to have some time to myself to miss you… so with all due respect to distractions and so on…
David: *laughs again* Sure… I’ll just arrive at a new flatshare and first thing I do is mix up their entire system… I don’t know if I’m that brave! *then thinks about his words about Alex and nods* Yes, you’re right… if it’s forced it sucks… whatever opportunity comes up… *hears his addition and nods slowly because he’d probably feel similar - especially as he doesn’t even want to imagine what it would be like if they really were separated for three months* *murmurs* He’ll get that… *then leans up and kisses him tenderly* *then grins slightly* You don’t need it… I’m not planning on going away for a longer stretch of time… at least not more than the five or six days in the hospital… and you’ll come visit me then…
Matteo: *laughs* Sure, why not? A breath of fresh air and so on… *nods slightly when he agrees to his words about Alex* *humms a little and then smiles into the kiss* *smiles at his words* That’s good then… and of course I’ll come visit you then… when I’m on the stupid seminar for my voluntary year, then you’ll have to send me a photo every hour so that I’ll always see what you’re doing…
David: *smiles when Matteo says that he’ll come visit him and humms while he cuddles closer* You’ll have to see if that might not be too stressful for you… I mean, if you’ll work until six then you’ll surely won’t get there any sooner than around seven… *makes a noise of complaint when he mentions the seminar for his voluntary year and buries his face in Matteo’s chest* I don’t even wanna think of that yet… *sighs quietly* But you’ll get a photo each hour! And I also want one… each hour… and of everyone that’s there… so that I can see if there’s any competition from someone… if so, then I’ll unfortunately have to come by and get you out of there… *grins and looks up at him* That’s actually really mean of you… you make me dependent and addicted to you for three months and then you’re putting me on cold turkey…
Matteo: *pffs immediately* That won’t get too stressful… not seeing you is stressful. *then grimaces slightly at David’s reaction* I know, neither do I… *only grins when he says that he’ll get a photo each hour* *but shakes his head in disapproval when he continues talking* Pfff, as if anyone could ever come close to you… *then gives him the secretary’s-office-look when he looks up at him* Yep, that’s me, that was a vicious plan, planned way in advance… *shakes his head and kisses him* I heard that this will make the reunion even nicer… they say…
David: *smiles broadly when Matteo says that it won’t be too stressful to come visit him after work but says* If we’re lucky then it’ll only be for two work days… maybe I can already go home on Wednesday… *shrugs when Matteo says that no one could come close to him and acts innocent* Who knows what kind of hot gay guys will be there… *then laughs when he receives the secretary’s-office-look* I knew it… *looks at him with a grin* They say? I see… does that mean /they/ should be apart for a few days more often so that /they/ can make more of the reunion!?
Matteo: *nods slightly* Yes, well… but not too soon, that should all go properly and so on… don’t get any stupid thoughts of having yourself discharged or anything… *pffs again and looks at him reproachfully* Yes, exactly, all the hot gay guys on that seminar have nothing better to do than to run after me… and now stop fishing for compliments, you know exactly that you’re the hottest… *frowns slightly at David’s last words and then quickly shakes his head* No, no, that’s not how I meant it… I mean that if we already /have/ to be separated then we can at least look forward to the reunion…
David: *smiles slightly because Matteo’s words do imply a little that he’s worried and thinking of it* Five to six days are normal… if everything goes well… *squeezes his hand and looks at him* Don’t worry - I’ll only leave if I’m really allowed to… or to be more specific… I’ll call the Hardenberg-taxi… *laughs when he pffs and at his following words and rolls halfway on top of him so that he can look at him better* That’s not fishing for compliments! Why shouldn’t anyone run after you?! *slightly pinches him in the chest and says* /You/ are much hotter than I am! *but then pretends having to think about it and adds in amusement* Although… nooo, maybe it’s a good thing that you don’t see yourself like that… then you probably won’t even notice all the guys that are running after you… okay… true, you’re right! I’m sure they’ll all have something better to do… *then gets a little more serious again and nods* I’m definitely looking forward to the reunion… that’s somehow the positive thing about this separation… but it’ll surely still be totally unfamiliar…
Matteo: *looks at him when he looks at him and tilts his head* Okay, good… and make Alex take you upstairs… yes, I know, that’s exaggerated, but still… *then sees David sit up and looks at him excitedly* *pffs slightly when David says that he’s much hotter* Nooo… *grimaces slightly when David continues* *is a little embarrassed and shakes his head* I don’t care about the others, anyways… *then nods at his last words* Yes, totally unfamiliar… separated for two nights… that’s a no-go as a beautifully sappy couple…
David: *slightly shakes his head and presses a kiss to his hand* That isn’t exaggerated… I’m not allowed to lift anything heavy… *squeezes his hand again and grins slightly* I’ll also take a little care of myself… you don’t have to do it on your own… *then sees that Matteo is a little embarrassed when he’s talking about the guys who could be into him and somehow finds this a little cute* *kisses him briefly when he says that he doesn’t care about the others, anyways, and murmurs against his lips* That’s good then… *then puts his head back down on his chest again and tenderly runs one hand along his side* *shakes his head when he says that being separated for two days is actually a no-go* *grins slightly and repeats* No, that’s a no-go… we should file a petition that I can come along: Dear people from the voluntary year, we’re a beautifully sappy couple and the longest period o f time that we’ve ever been apart was 13 hours. We do not wish to repeat that. Please understand that we’ll come as a pair…
Matteo: *nods slightly* *then looks at him very lovingly when he says that he’ll take care of himself* That’s good then… *smiles slightly when David kisses him and immediately kisses him again* *runs his hand into David’s hair and plays a little with some strands* *then laughs out loud at David’s suggestion* I’m sure that’ll work… hello, that’s my emotional support boyfriend, he always has to come along. *presses a kiss to his hair* We’ll call each other often and we’ll do that facetime stuff… and photos… and you can meet up with Jonas, I’m sure he’ll also be bored without Hanna…
David: *laughs again with him* Emotional support boyfriend - exactly! I don’t even need my own bed… I’ll sleep in yours… *smiles when Matteo presses a kiss to his hair and nods at his words* *humms in agreement and hugs him tighter* *murmurs quietly* We’ll manage… *grins slightly* I’ll just have an abandoned boyfriend weekend with Jonas and Alex… Hanna, Mia and you surely have an agenda and are busy…
Matteo: *grins* Exactly, they’ll just have to understand… it’s very simple… *grumbles in agreement when he says that they’ll manage* *nods* Yes, at least I have Hanna to cry my heart out, so you guys can also join forces…
David: *grins slightly* If you guys even have the time to cry… *stretches a little and rolls off him again so that it won’t get too heavy for Matteo* *then says* Although I don’t know if the weekend will even be a problem for Hanna and Jonas… it’s normal for them that they don’t see each other for one or two days, isn’t it? *searches for his hand again* ...and I can’t gauge Mia… I think Alex is actually a little like us, although unlike us, he doesn’t admit it… *grins slightly* *somehow likes it that it’s not embarrassing for them to hang around each other so much*
Matteo: *nods* Yes, I’m sure there’ll be a lot on the agenda… but that’s actually a good thing… *then nods slightly when he’s talking about the others* Yeah… I think Hanna and Jonas sometimes don’t see each other for several days… they’re somehow different in that respect… *then shrugs* I can’t gauge Alex… but I also think that Mia will miss Alex more than she admits… she also likes to have her freedom and so on… *grins slightly* Exactly, at least we’re admitting it! And we can do that. Because why wouldn’t we? There’s no shame in missing someone…
David: *nods at the information about Hanna and Jonas - already thought so* *hesitates briefly when he’s talking about Alex and then says* I know that Alex is really scared about those three months… although three months are something completely different than two days… *then smiles at his next words and says* I think so, too… *then sighs quietly and turns onto his back* And can we stop talking about missing each other and separation and that so that I can keep suppressing that for the next two weeks? I think we should get pulled out of our 3-week-long seeing each other 24/7 habit veeery slowly… maybe we’ll start on Saturday evening by staying in different rooms for 30 minutes or so and on Monday evening we’ll try the next extreme by me going to Alex for a few hours to console him…
Matteo: *nods slowly when he’s talking about Alex* *can imagine that they have talked about it in private and therefore doesn’t ask further questions* *only says* Yes, I can understand that… *humphs slightly when David turns onto his back and turns onto his side so that he can keep looking at him* *listens to him and has to chuckle a little because he’s just so cute right now* *then looks mock shocked* What? Extremely? Monday evening? The two of us in different buildings?? I thought I’d come with you and wait outside the door… *grins at him broadly* No, no… I suppose we’ll manage… *but does wonder what he’ll do on Monday evening* *has to think of something*
David: *turns his head to Matteo when he acts so shocked and laughs quietly* *grins and nods* Two different buildings! *then laughs again at his next words and turns onto his side to also look at him better* Like a dog… nooo… then I’d feel bad… *nods when he says that they’ll manage it* That’s just a test… if one of us is on too much withdrawal then he’ll just send out a SOS signal and then we’ll stop the test… *looks at him and chuckles* And I’ll make a list of things to keep you occupied so that you won’t get bored without me!
Matteo: *laughs when he says that he’d be like a dog* Yes… we have to stay outside… *grins broadly when he says that they can stop the test* That’s good to know… but I’ll try to be strong… for you… and a little bit for Alex, because he needs you… *then gets a warm tugging in his stomach when David seems to know him so well* *but laughs it off* Nonsense, I’ve also spent evenings alone before I had you… with… umm… *grins slightly* Yes, okay, I don’t remember the time before you, so I’ll take the list, please. *chuckles slightly and then leans over to kiss him* *says quietly* You know me so well…
David: *looks at Matteo proudly and with a chuckle when he announces that he wants to stay strong* You can do it! I believe in you! *laughs quietly* And in me… although it’s always easier for the one that’s busy… *tilts his head in question* Okay… and with what?! *sees that he can’t really think of anything and laughs quietly* *returns his kiss and tenderly cards through his hair* *says quietly* You’ll get the list… *briefly kisses him again and then lies back onto his side* And the time before /us/ isn’t important, anyways… I can barely remember it, either…
Matteo: *laughs slightly* Thank you! *then grins and shrugs one shoulder* Yes, I don’t remember… playing video games probably… *smiles when he says that he’ll get a list and then kisses him back* Good… and yes, it’s not important… what’s important is that you’ll come back to me after you visited Alex… *grins slightly and then kisses him again*
David: *laughs quietly* I think we didn’t really do that much differently than we do now… listened to music, watched a series, you played video games, I sketched… it’s only that we’ve gotten used to not being alone while we’re doing that… *scoots a little closer to him again when he kisses him again and grins slightly* I wouldn’t even know where else I wanted to go… *then suddenly has to yawn and holds his arm in front of his face* *then murmurs* The last night of our road trip… Kiki would now demand a résumé from Carlos…
Matteo: *grins and nods slightly* True… and now it’s still better… because… yes, because somehow it’s no longer just killing time… well at least not for me… *grins very broadly at his next words* That’s good… that’s how it’s supposed to be… *laughs when he has to yawn* Time to sleep? *then lifts his eyebrows when he hears his next words* Well luckily we’re not Kiki and Carlos… my résumé is: It was great and I think we managed our first holiday together really well and I won’t give you a list of pros and cons or whatever other ideas Kiki might have…
David: *slightly shrugs when Matteo asks about going to sleep* Hmmm… soon… *can already feel that he’s slowly getting tired but that this is also due to the fact that he feels so relaxed* *thinks that staying in the room and taking off the binder so early has been a good decision* *grins slightly when Matteo says that they’re not Kiki and Carlos, but when he still receives some sort of résumé a moment later* *shakes his head when he mentions pro and con lists and laughs quietly* We don’t need that… *then gets more serious again and looks at him while he mentally takes stock of their holiday* *gnaws on his bottom lip for a moment and then says after a moment* When I’m in the here and now, then I can also only say that it was really beautiful… and that I never would have thought that I could live without a plan for three weeks this well… and that it was good to realize that we can also have different opinions and that afterwards everything is still okay… I definitely want to do that again… and I want to learn Italian… and go to Venice again… *smiles slightly and shrugs one shoulder* *then laughs quietly and says almost apologetically* And if I’m not in the here and now and the whole… no idea… look at everything from above… or from a past viewpoint… then it’s so surreal again… that I got all of this… you… and a holiday together… if someone had told me about that 6 months ago… I don’t know… I probably would have laughed at them… it’s really so surreal… and sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s really real and mine… that this is simply us…
Matteo: *listens to him when he talks about the here and now and smiles* *nods at his words and grins again* Yep we will… well, go to Venice again… and Italy in general… *then listens to him further and immediately gets embarrassed and probably blushes a little, as well* *swallows pretty hard and then shakes his head* Man, Schreibner… why do you always say stuff like that and I don’t even know what to say… and … *just kisses him and runs a hand through his hair* It’s really true and real and us… *sighs slightly and kisses him again* And now we’ll sleep… before we get even more emotional and I’ll have to start to cry or something.
David: *smiles broadly and nods when Matteo says that they’ll repeat the road trip and says quietly* Definitely! *only notices that Matteo is embarrassed when he finishes his next sentence and also gets a little embarrassed because he didn’t mean to overwhelm Matteo with it* *immediately shakes his head when Matteo says that he doesn’t know what to say and was just about to tell him that he doesn’t have to say anything when he kisses him* *then murmurs* You don’t have to say anything… *then smiles when he says something, after all, and nods slightly* *knows all of this but sometimes he can still hardly believe it* *scoots closer to Matteo when he kisses him again and wraps an arm around him* *then laughs quietly and says* And we don’t want that, of course… that doesn’t fit a beautifully sappy couple, at all… *scoots even closer and nudges his nose against Matteo’s* But going to sleep sounds good… *then kisses him again and murmurs quietly* Sleep tight, Florenzi…
Matteo: *pffs slightly when he says that it wouldn’t fit a beautifully sappy couple* Yes, it would, but not now… *smiles when he nudges him and tenderly kisses him back* *then turns around with his back toward him and cuddles close* Dream of us, Schreibner...

January 27th, 2024 - Finishing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
────────────────────────────── Woke up at 1 PM I lied, ok? I'm trying to draw again ──────────────────────────────
•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••┊┊🌙┊┊•••
I'm back to drawing again. I suddenly wanted to get better. I like my style, but I'm extremely limited. There are many things I can't draw or that I can draw better. So, I'm finishing my latest sketch and I'll see how I can improve.
In this place there's nothing to watch on weekends. So I watch cartoons and maybe a movie. So instead of rotting in the living room watching TV, I showered, washed the dishes, and started to colour this drawing.
I don't want to show it until I finish it. I'll post it here as well as on my Instagram. My artist Instagram, the replica of the blog is nit being used. But maybe on that profile I'll show the things I draw to improve.
I haven't been feeling motivated to draw lately. Last year I only drew once before I joined an Inktober event for the second year in a row. And then I disappeared. I don't know why, it just... happened. But maybe I realized (somewhere in my mind) that drawing is the only way I can express how I feel, think, act. It explain what I can't with my words.
So we're back! We're not giving up. It's time to grab all the motivational and upbeat songs to feel better and keep going.
Anyway, speaking of upbeat songs... I'm listening to Lorde's album "Melodrama"! I only listened ti the first three songs, but I love them! They're so catchy, even if they tall about heartbreak and things like that. So far, Pure Heroine has my favourite lyrics, and Melodrama has my favourite instrumental.
I might listen to her whole discography before February. It's quite short. I hope she's back soon! She's incredible.
Anyway, writing this made me feel a bit happier for some reason. If I can't get better at my mental health... well, I'll get better in English, art, school, learn to code, speak other languages, swim, become relevant. You know, to at least be more useful.
Oh, I forgot. That scissor on the picture is not mine lmao. It's for right-handed people... and I'm left handed. I stole it at school last year. I found it on the floor and I didn't even look for the owner. I just took it and left lol.
Sorry, person who would use that scissor. Specially because they probably got more expensive than before.
But anyway, I just wanted to tell you that little thing about my drawings. Everything's gonna be fine!
When it comes to that.
WHATEVER, rest well! Woooooooooo

11-28-23 11:35 AM
I'm in graphic design class right now. My physical diary is literally in my school bag as I'm typing this, but I've made the decision it might be fun to take up digital blogging. You see it all the time on TV, why don't people do it more often?! Plus, I just have a lot to say, all the time. I will admit, that I'm actually direct messaging all of this to myself on Discord, because Tumblr is blocked on the school computers. I'll just copy paste it into Tumblr later. My teacher will definitely yell at me for having my phone out, so I've got a little hidden tab to entertain myself with on the school computer. I really do not like my graphic design teacher. She's friendly, but also kind of rude. And very much a control freak. I want to go to lunch. I still have to go to computer science after this class ends before I can eat lunch. That's at least an hour and a half away... Oh well. I've got plenty to do, I guess. I could actually do my homework. I've been knocking a lot of homework out this week, because I've been out sick, plus Thanksgiving break for a bit. I have a little bit of catching up to do but I've been making quick work of it. I only have one assignment to do in this class, and I just started the layout for it until I got bored and drifted back to my little hidden tab here. When I do post this on my Tumblr, I'll tag it something unique like ness talks so people can filter it out, if they just want to see the art posts. I'll probably attach a few images to this post just to share what I'm up to and what kind of images represent my day. I love posting pictures online. I post shit on every social media I can get my hands on. Except, like, Threads, because who uses that. It was a thing for about a week, when Twitter was threatening to shut down or something I don't even remember. But it didn't, so Threads kind of just became a shithole. None of my social medias have a very prominent following, I think the largest follower count I have is nearly five hundred on Instagram? My Twitter has about three hundred, and my TikTok also has nearly three hundred. I don't know how much Pinterest counts as a social media like those, but I have like twenty followers there and it's basically all just my friends. I love my friends. As for Tumblr, I think it's around fifty? I don't really ever care how many followers I do have, though. I just post stuff for myself. The internet is an awesome way to document your life. If I do get famous one day, though, it'll be awesome for my fans because they'll have a ridiculous amount of content of mine to sift through. I wish it were easier to make friends and mutuals online. I would have a lot of fun having lots of people to interact with. I'm getting kind of bored of typing now so I'm gonna go draw in my sketch book while I wait for class to end. Bye

Week 6 - Digital Sketching (non teaching week)
INTRODUCTION
Whilst it's hard to beat the accessibility and immediacy of sketching on paper, digital sketching has emerged as a great alternative for designers in recent years. Devices such as tablets, styluses and digital pencils now do a great job of replicating the look and feel of analogue sketching, whilst offer some useful additional benefits.  
It is important to note that digital sketching does not replace analogue sketching. Rather, it is an extension of it. The same skills of visualisation and hand / eye coordination apply. The same construction methods (e.g. perspective) underpin both approaches.
One of the most useful aspects of digital sketching applications is that they enable the designer a means to combine both approaches. For example, you might start a sketch on paper, scan it in and add colour, shading, text and graphics in a digital environment in order to create a presentation layout to show your client.
The goal is to be able to jump between or combine both mediums as the situation demands, and to have both in your arsenal of visual communication skills.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this week you should be able to:
1. Employ some of the basic tools that a digital workflow offers in order to add line-work, colour, shade, text, graphics and layout.
2. Combine analogue and digital sketching to produce a hybrid image.
SELF DIRECTED ACTIVITIES
As there is no class this week, you can complete these activities in your own time. Please make sure you make your post by 6pm Monday evening as usual. This is the deadline for our Assessment 2 submission (35%).
1. Explore Pinterest, Behance and Instagram for inspirational images of industrial design concept rendering.
Save your favourite images to a Pinterest board (create an account at www.pinterest.com.au if you don't have one already). In addition to admiring the overall effect of the images, it is useful to deconstruct the various techniques used; find examples of good line-work, marker work, use of reflection, highlight, shadow, text, notes, composition and anything else that you think might inform your own work.
Once you have collected your images, take a screen shot(s) of your Pinterest board(s) and post it in your blog reflection this week. Include links to your three favourite artists / designers in your bog post so that others can share in your discoveries.
2. Complete part three of the sketching exercise from last week
Part three of the sketching exercise (you began parts 1 and 2 in class) is to create some digital sketches of your Olay moisturiser bottle. In Week 7 we will begin tuning our ideas into a physical model, so you'll want to make sure you have plenty of ideas to work with.
To help you, a series of short demo videos will be available this week on the Week 6 Resources tab on Moodle. Work through them using your own Olay moisturiser bottle designs.
If you like, you can also search for videos online to help you find a method that works for you.
3. Digital sketching apps (optional)
If you're interested in exploring a dedicated digital drawing app, you might like to download and try out Adobe Fresco. It is free with your Adobe subscription. Click here
Procreate is another popular choice. Although not free, it is very affordable and does not require an ongoing subscription. Click here
4. Make your weekly blog post
Write a reflection on your learning experiences within Communications this week. You might ask yourself:
What went well / what did I have difficulty with?
What did I enjoy / dislike?
What would I do differently if I had my time again?
What were some of the key things I learnt, or insights which I developed?
What led to those experiences or insights?
You can consider some or all of these, or any other questions which you believe are relevant. Try to write at least 200 words.
Following this, post a series of images that help show the process you used to create your digital sketches. Don't forget to include the screenshot and designer links from the inspiration activity!
5. Reply with a note on to two of your classmates’ blogs. You might make a comment that includes:
Identifying some aspect of their work you think they did particularly well at
Identifying something in common that you struggled with
Let them know how you have tried to overcome that struggle – maybe you found a resource, method or technique that was helpful?
Ask them if they have found a way to overcome something you struggled with
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
1. Food for thought - Building Habits & Deliberate Practice
You may be wondering how much practice it takes in order to build up the necessary skills to be good at sketching. You may also be wondering what type of practice is most beneficial. For example, would tracing the work of other artists be useful. Great questions because they bring up two important considerations when developing skills: habit building and deliberate practise.
Sketching is a complex skill. No one is born with this ability and becoming good at it tends to take people many years of practice. If you want to be good at it, you need to make sketching an ongoing and regular part of your life. In other words, you need to make sketching a habit. Take a listen to James Clear talk about the power of building effective habits. Click here
Mindlessly repeating simple exercises (e.g. tracing), will not extend your ability in the way that is necessary to gain improvement. Your practice needs to be challenging, purposeful and highly focused in order to continue to develop your skills. This is known as “deliberate practise” and James Clear has written a good introduction. Click here

Permanence
corpse husband x fem!reader 
summary: you meet corpse on a stream and you’re surprised when he reaches out to you 
warnings: cursing, mentions of tattooing
word count: 1.9k
notes: This is proof read but could have missed some stuff. This is my first corpse fic and my first time writing fanfic since I posted that super cringey book on wattpad when I was like 12 or something. I’d appreciate feed back so please reach out to me :)
main blog @itsmysleepover
read part 2 here!
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You were cleaning up your station so you can get home and stream. You loved your day job as a tattoo artist but you also really enjoyed streaming. It started as a way to promote yourself as an artist and the shop you worked at but it eventually became a really fun way to destress at the end of the week (or day if you were really itching to stream). “Hey Y/N was that your last client?” your boss, KC, asked as she walked to the front of the shop and put new flash drawings on the walls.
“Yes ma’am!” You said back excitedly. You finished cleaning your station and tossed your black gloves in the trash. “And you can’t trick me into staying and taking walk-ins,” you joked with her. She rolled her eyes and walked back into her office “It was one time,” she said as you slid on your jacket. As you walked out your phone buzzed in your pocket and you checked to see who had texted you. It was a message from Sean asking if you were free to play Among Us with him and some other streamers. You replied that you were on your way home right now and totally down. You were excited to see who was playing this time around since their Among Us streams are super entertaining and have gotten really popular.
On your way back you tweeted and posted to your Instagram story that you’d be streaming soon and set up all your stuff once you made it home. After a few minutes, you had a couple of thousand people watching. You entered the discord chat and Sean spoke up. “Everyone this is Y/N she’s sensitive so be gentle.”
“It’s nice to finally meet you guys and I’m not gentle, I'm ruthless,” You say into your mic and notice the chat calling you a liar. Everyone was in the lobby waiting for the game to start. “You sound way too sweet to be ruthless,” Corpse said. The countdown started and you were imposter with Charlie.
“This should be fun,” you told the stream. Yout tried playing strategically but after such a long shift your brain was mush. You saw Poki in nav and killed her then vented into shields. Not long after the body was reported and you were sure you were going to get voted out or at least sussed.
“Where was the body?” Felix asked. “Nav and I didn’t see anyone near there so whoever is imposter must have vented,” Corpse responded. Felix spoke up again. “I think I saw Y/N walk that way and I haven’t seen her since.”
Shit, shit, shit shit. “I’m in shield right now so-” you said trying to defend yourself but Charlie spoke up. “I was doing tasks with her earlier and I saw her walk into shields so she’s safe but I’m still not sure about Rae.” Everyone discussed a bit more and some people, including Corpse, voted for you but Rae got the majority vote and was ejected. You released your breath and kept playing being extra careful.  
“Okay, guys that was super close. Corpse knows and is out to get me,” you said to the chat. You were eventually voted off but one round later victory was written across your screen with your ghost and Charlie’s avatar. “Good game guys,” Corpse said.
“I told you guys I was ruthless!”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You sat at your station doing nothing because a client had canceled a four-hour session. You were listening to music and sketching some stuff but you were bored out of your mind and you didn’t want to leave in case you got a walk-in. The music got quiet as you received a twitter notification saying someone had messaged you. You reached for your phone and saw you had gotten a dm from Corpse.
C: hey :)
You didn’t know what to respond. You were mostly confused as to why he decided to message you out of the blue. Did he want something? But what would he want?
Y: Hii! This is sudden
C: was i bothering you?
    shit sorry!
Y: Youre fine I wasn’t doing anything rn
C: how has your day been
    i dont usually do stuff like this
Y: Im glad you did im doing better now I was so bored
C: what were you doing that was so terrible
Y: NOTHING! thats the problem :(
C: im sure youll find something to do
You stared at his message. Unsure what to respond.
Y: Im gonna give myself a tattoo
C: what?
    NO!
You tossed the needles you used for your tattoo into the sharps box. “Oh my god you didn’t,” KC said. She noticed the wrap on your calve from the tattoo you just gave yourself out of boredom. “It’s not my fault I didn’t have anything else to do!” You said trying to defend yourself. She sighed and just shook her head. “Just go home business is slow today.” It was raining so the shop probably wasn’t going to get a walk-in anyway and you didn’t have any more clients for the day. It was only 2 pm but you drove home and after making lunch for yourself decided to stream. You weren’t expecting too many people so it was bound to be super chill. Your leg felt sore reminding you of the tattoo. You snapped a quick pic of the fresh jack-o-lantern on the side of your calve and messaged it to Corpse.
Y: [image] it came out nice!
C: thats  super cool actually
    i was concerned why you would just give yourself a tattoo but i found your instagram and       youre super talented
Y: Thank you!
For some reason, it felt strange to just have that be the end of your response.
Y: Im about to start streaming if you wanted to watch
    [link]
C: ill be watching ;)
What’s that supposed to mean?
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You sat in your apartment watching tv, hand lost in a bag of Doritos, and scrolling through twitter. You had stopped paying attention to the anime playing on the screen since you’ve watched it a hundred times and knew you wouldn’t miss anything. It was Saturday and you usually take those days off. Take the time to do chores or meet up with some friends but today you felt like not doing any of those things. As you continue your endless scroll (not helping the twitter addiction you told yourself you’d try to get a handle on) you got a message from Corpse.
C: wanna talk?
You looked down at the message unsure of how to answer. It was a simple yes or no and the obvious answer was yes. You and Corpse had started talking more regularly. You still didn’t have each other’s phone numbers but it was fine. Your conversations weren’t too big-- just you sending him memes, tiktoks, and telling him how much you liked the songs he would drop. Or him complimenting a tattoo you did. Sometimes he’d message you during streams telling you funny stuff his fans would say in the chat and you’d do the same. You learned a bit about each other but nothing too deep or serious. Like how you two lived a few cities away and you both really liked Donnie Darko. When Sean first invited you to that game out of everyone else there you were most excited to meet Corpse. He’s just so sweet and funny. Of course, you’d love to talk to him but you were also itching to talk to him and the last thing you’d ever want to do was make him uncomfortable.
Y: Yeah id love to talk
Here goes nothing.
Y: Wanna facetime or something?
     No pressure or anything it could even be a regular call
     I think facetime is just my default lol
You sent those last two messages quickly after you had sent the first. You wished you could know what he was thinking. It was killing you to think you had turned him off from talking to you completely. You put your phone down on the couch and went to wash your hand of Dorito dust. When you got back from the kitchen you turned off the tv and tossed yourself onto the couch.
Still no message.
Why am I so fucking stupid?  
Just as you were standing up to stretch from sitting on the couch all day your phone buzzed. You reached for it fast and looked to see that it was him. You became super excited still not even knowing what the message said. It could have told you to never talk to him again for all you knew.
C: sure lets facetime
    xxx-xxx-xxxx
You had his phone number. You added him to your small but growing contact list and called. You sat on your couch waiting for a response when he finally picked up the screen was black. It didn’t upset you; you kind of expected it and didn’t care what he had to do to make himself more comfortable during this call.
“Hey,” he said. His voice was raspier than usual.
“Did you just wake up?” You asked and looked at the time. It was about a little past noon and you had only eaten Doritos all day. Shit, you should probably make a decent meal.
“Not that long ago but yeah,” he responded and giggled. That giggle.
“Well, I’ve eaten nothing but Doritos all day while rewatching Ouran High School Host Club, so you’re welcome to join me as I make myself something to eat.”
“Sounds like fun; what are we eating?”
“I don’t know yet,” You said as you stood up and made your way to the kitchen. You opened the pantry and looked. You noticed a can of diced tomatoes and reached for it then checked the expiration date. It was still good. On your counter were some onions and garlic. “How about some tomato soup?”
“Sounds delicious.” you smiled at Corpse and your phone screen not knowing if he was also looking at his screen or not. “You’re really pretty-- you know that?”
“Thanks, but you don’t have to--”
“I’ve already told you what an incredible artist you are so many times I bet you’re tired of hearing it, but you already know what a talented artist you are.”
“That is very kind of you Corpse,” you said to him bashfully as you chopped the onion and opened the can of tomatoes. “But once again you don’t have to reach so far to compliment me.”
“I’m not reaching you are talented and beautiful and--”
“I thought I was pretty.” You could hear him chuckle with a smile on his face. “You’re both,” he said. You could feel your face getting warm from blushing.
“Fuck you you’re making me blush. My face is all hot and stuff.”
He laughed at how flustered you got. “That’s the cutest thing ever.”
You didn’t know how to respond so you just put some olive oil in a pot and tossed in your onions. It became silent but it was a comfortable silence. You turned the stove on and watched the flame for a few seconds. “If it was dark we could pretend we were together and having a bonfire or something,” you said to the phone as you turned the camera to show him the flame (still not 100 percent sure if he was looking at you or not).
“I’ll put it on the list of things to do when you visit me someday.”

Pairing: Suit Saeran x Non Gendered Reader X̶ ̶B̶o̶b̶a̶
Part 1
Just some fun fluff!
Saeran believes he’s finally come up with the perfect way to make his toy break, by waving a favorite treat of yours in front of your starved face. He presents to you a shining cup of blue boba tea, but as per usual, you make victory for him seem to be impossible. In which way will you choose to ensure he doesn’t get the last laugh?
Based on my lovely friend Melkinpump’s art! Please make sure to check her out ^3^~ <3
Link to the post featuring the drawing:

Link to her drawing on Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5dTpNlzOF/?utm_medium=copy_link
This little fic contains links to the options you chose for him! Have fun and avoid the bad ending :3
At the edge of your squishy pink bed you sat, sinking into the mattress ever so slightly as you typed away in a chatroom with Saeran. It had only been a day since he’d “arrived”, turning what you thought you knew topsy turvy as Ray was now gone...or at least, was presented to be. You sighed at just how little he’d allow you to say to him, hogging the chatroom with his immense typing speeds and rude insults; spamming those supposedly scary chibis which maniacally cackled in his voice. The occasional deep stomach rumbles you experienced certainly didn’t help your concentration, which was frustrating to say the least.
Saeran: It’s lunch time now
Aren’t you feeling hungry, prince(ss)?
I just got myself something good…
Something I know you love actually lolol
Maybe I should rub it in your face.
I wonder how much your stomach will turn
Seeing me with something so delicious haha
I’ll visit you
And watch you plead for some
And it’ll be so funny hehehehe
So sit tight
In your room
Like a good little toy.
And if you behave, maybe you’ll get some
Maybe~
Saeran has left the chatroom
Mc has left the chatroom
You placed your phone down in your lap as you monitored the door, now having nothing much else to do other than wait for his arrival. What he’d carry in his hands with him, that you had no idea, but you’d hold your ground the best you could as he tried to tempt you with it. He was not your master, nor were you some dog he could throw a bone to in return for complete obedience.
Within a few moments, the doorknob finally turned and you stood in response, straightening your clothes a tad as the grumpy man barged his way in with no knock.
“Don’t bother fixing yourself up for me, you look awful either way,” he spat, followed by an airy laugh. “But, you stand ready! Should I congratulate you? Looks like I don’t have to train you in that field at least.”
You opened your mouth to make a comment in your defense before something else caught your attention, the treat he had brought with him. In his right hand he held a clear plastic cup containing a milky blue liquid, and at the bottom rested...dark brown boba pearls. He gave a satisfactory grin as you clearly stared at the drink, hoping what he was doing would indeed elicit a good reaction from you.
“It’s exactly what you think it is, prince(ss). Milk tea with boba. And much to your delight, you get to watch me drink the whole thing in silence!”
Now this was an interesting situation.
“You...learned to make boba just to taunt me? Ray didn’t even really know what it was-”
“Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. All that matters is at the end of the day~,” Saeran cooed. “You. Get. None!”
And with that he was sent into a fit, naturally because he believed himself to be the king of comedy as he tortured you. He walked over to the little tea table at the room’s center, plopping himself down in one of the cushioned chairs before taking a big sip through the thick, pink straw. The man enjoyed the taste dramatically, letting out a loud “mmm”, looking in your direction.
“This stuff is pretty good honestly. The brown sugar syrup you make the tapioca balls in is so sweet~ and the tea is rather refreshing. It really hits the spot~”
His pretty lips formed his signature smirk as his icy glare met your eyes, then looking away to whip out his...light rosey colored phone. With his focus now on the screen of the tiny hand held device, he maneuvered the cup to rest on his upper chest which he puffed out, chewing the straw and sipping up more of the drink’s sweetness here and there. As he was looking away from you, you could take a moment to appreciate how cute he was, face clearly softening a little as he chewed the gummies and took a small break from work.
Tumblr media
“Well there we have it,” you finally spoke. “Now I know two new things. You like sweets and we both like boba.”
He looked at you before giving a good eye roll, taking the straw out of his mouth but leaving the cup supported as it was, raising his arm up to it for further safety.
“Well aren’t you clever, toy. Maybe, since you’re such a know- it-all, you can start making me stuff like this. You know, because I ‘like it’.”
He then retreated back to ignoring you with a huff, scrolling up on his phone.
Now this...you thought, was the perfect opportunity to strike and get his attention sweetly, his guard being completely down. It was time for the toy to have some play time of their own to lighten him up and give him some affection, even if you were playing with fire. But what was the best way to reach him, being as difficult as he was?
Creep up and tickle his sides: https://suspiciouslybluemilktea.tumblr.com/post/656204961659731968/please-refer-to-the-introduction-before-reading
Steal the boba and go in for a kiss: https://suspiciouslybluemilktea.tumblr.com/post/656204969448521728/please-refer-to-the-introduction-before-reading

Hi, you and I seem to have very similar tastes in art and in other things and as a begging artist I would like to know your art journey and any resources you used such as books and things or where you get inspiration from, thanks in advance
Hello! I'd be happy to!
I've been drawing since I was a kid, but I only started drawing seriously when I was about 12 (I wanted to become an animator, I didnt know that jobs like illustration on concept art were a thing). I never took a formal art class, expect for one that was on acrylic painting, and I didnt really learn that much there, and it was only for 4 weeks. (Maybe I'll learn to love acrylic someday, but not today).
For inspiration, I write down favorite memories of mine, and sometimes unimportant ones (memories of sitting at a gas station on a hot summer day, waiting on my dad to buy some sodas so we can get going on our trip; walking under football bleachers at night), and most times I'm a little too scared to post these because they're personal, but im working myself up to it.
I collect moodboards on interest, just whatever catches my eye, even if the aesthetics don't match. When I'm out, I take pictures of places I would like to draw later (abandoned farmhouses, old mill houses, a lighthouse far off in the water alone, a stretch of road completely covered in graffiti).
Books! Ok so I have a lot of art books but few that have actually been beneficial, so I'll post those here.
Color And Light by James Gurney: A Guide For The Realist Painter; I cannot reccomend this book more!! This book is excellent, it talks about how to paint different light conditions, and how it effects light scientifically. Very easy to understand, and Gurney is a master painter.
Adorning The Dark by Andrew Peterson. Another excellent book, and one I don't think I'll ever be over. While this is a book from a Christian standpoint, and I don't know your opinions on religion, this book for me was unputdownable. I read it cover to cover in a day, and did the same thing the next day. Reflections on self and the creative process that takes place in the mind and spiritually, and how we effect others. A simply wonderful book. Id go as far as to say life-changing.
Any Ghibli art book (I own Howl's Moving Castle, and Spirited Away.) These are excellent if youre wanting to look into illustration or character design. It doesnt give much advice, but I find myself inspired every time I open the ghibli books I have.
Sketching From The Imagination: Characters by 3d Total Publishing; this book has many MANY artists of various art styles, and they give their process and advice! Little nuggets of "Oh! Yea that makes sense." are scattered throughout the book, at least for me.
As for fiction books, I read a wide range of genres, so I can't really make a HUGE list of books I reccomend, but I can give a few that I feel have been important to me personally the last few years.
Jeff Vandermeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, and Borne Trilogy. Rick Bragg's All Over But The Shout'n, and Ava's Man, Flannery O' Connor's A Good Man Is Hard To Find, C. S Lewis's A Space Trilogy, and Madeline D'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time. Comics like Batman: The Long Halloween, Calvin and Hobbes, and Minna Sundberg's Stand Still Stay Silent have been great to read as well!
Movies and TV shows are HUGE inspirations for me, but as a general guide, I adore movies like Alien, Fury Road, Pan's Labyrinth, Lord of The Rings, Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, and TV shows like Stranger Things, Over The Garden Wall, and The Twilight Zone. Video games are important as well, like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Kentucky Route Zero, and Death Stranding.
Anyway, heres what I have to say: Use everything. Dont be afraid to deviate from your "aesthetics". Yes, you'll feel a bit lost at times, like you have no identity, but thats a good thing for growth. When I was 12, I was dead set that my thing was extremely cartoon art styles, pokemon, and drawing dragons. While these are still great and huge inpirations, if I didn't branch out, I would be stuck in a rut.
It is not important to have a set aesthetic. Youre not an aesthetic Instagram page at heart! Find what you are drawn to, what imagery catches your eye, what symbols have meaning to you. I will change throughout my life, but my core values are still there. And I think its important to understand that, to loosely quote Andrew Peterson, that self expression is an endless, and often fruitless chase. You gotta shift your direction outward, and you'll discover things about you, good and bad.
Wow, this post is getting very very long. Apologies. Anyway, one more note. Just explore. Collect things, look for details! Note that swirl in the sand, a wrinkle next to an eye, get a feel for a place or thing. I have dozens of books that make no sense together (2 books on sharks, 1 on specifically waterplants, 5 on animal species, 2 on surgery, 1 on the history of medicine, 1 on car mechanics, 1 on martial arts, 3 cookbooks, and a book on the history of wood working.) Yes, I tend to hoard books. Get a book from the library on a subject you know nothing about once a week. Glance through it, take at least 20 minutes hopping page to page, even randomly. You'll find something! Just keep your eyes open, dont stop learning! I encourage wiki rabbit holes 100%.
And please, please dont be afraid to post new things. In the end it doesn't matter if your followers are unused to the new thing you like! As long as you are conveying meaning behind what you create, you'll find your way. Im uh, still learning this. People latch onto concepts more than skill, I've found.
So yea, thats just what I have to say. Sorry for the long, LONG post. I hope this helped!!

Aforementioned long ask post please excuse me while i try to figure out tumblr's new text editor. I’ll get into the art meme questions first and then the rest at the end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok first of all thank you all for sending in questions! Giving me an excuse to talk hehe. I’ll address these in number order. Here’s a link to the ask meme for reference but also I’ll restate the question for ease of reading.
1. When did you get into art?
Super cliche answer but I don’t remember a time where I WASN’T the weird art kid! I started keeping a dedicated sketchbook when I was about 12? But here’s a page from my kindergarten journal about what I want to be when I grow up.
Tumblr media
2. What art-related sites have you ever signed up for? 
LOL this is a weird question. Not sure why so many people want to know. Anyways I definitely had a dA. more than one dA account. I used to browse oekakis when I was a kid but I think I was only signed up to some small ones that internet friends owned. What else...? Mangabullet,Tegakie, Paintberri, iscribble back when that was a thing, instagram if that COUNTs, I used to post art on livejournal and dreamwidth too. Patreon, I guess. Gumroad, inprnt, bigcartel, storenvy all for selling stuff.
In terms of resources.. I have a schoolism account that I’m sharing with friends. Used to take classes on coursera for free. I signed up to textures.com for work recently haha. I can’t remember if I ever had an account on posemaniacs. Did they have accounts...? I definitely used to visit all the time.
3. Show us your oldest piece of art you have on hand.
Alright here’s me actually logging into my old deviantart account. These are from September 2008 So I was 13 years old. I don’t have a deviantart account from before then because 13 was the required age for having an account and I didn’t want to lie about my age because I wanted people to be impressed by how young yet clearly incredible at art I was LOL.
Tumblr media
4. What defines your artistic style?
You guys are probably more equipped to answer this than me but uh... I wanna say... Focus on colors. And... a slightly heavy hand? Like confident... not always well-considered mark making HAH...
Also I think I have a pretty healthy mix of american comics/manga influences. I feel like people who are into american comics always think my art is too manga and people who are into anime/manga always think my art is too american. And I’m taking that as a good sign.
5. Do you practice other styles/have you tried other styles in the past?
I like to think I switch it up a bunch! I mean, these are pretty different, right?
Tumblr media
I think I’ve mentioned this before but one thing I really took away from art school is that, for an illustrator at least, art style shouldn’t be consistent. Your greatest weapon is changing the aspects of your style based on the task, the emotions and message you want to illustrate etc. So depending on the project I’m working on, the fandom I’m drawing for, whether I want something to be funny or serious or dramatic, I’ll change things about my style all the time.
One thing I don’t rly post on here is really tight polished work and that’s because I do that for my day job haha. If you’re not paying me... I’m probably not gonna color in the lines.
6. What levels of artistic education have you had?
I have a whole ass diploma LOL. Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration. from the Rhode Island School of Design. And I had a great college experience tbh. Besides the student loans. If any of you guys are thinking about art school feel free to e-mail or message me questions or concerns, I’ll be happy to help. Be as honest as I can be.
7. Show us at least one picture you drew or sketched recently that you did not put on a public site.
Tumblr media
heres the wandavision kids. Uhh what else do I have...I feel like I’m rummaging for loose change here...
Tumblr media
assorted valentines prep doodles
8. What is your favourite piece that you have done?
Well, obviously this is gonna change all the time and generally it’s gonna be my most recent piece LOL. So yeah, why the hell not. I’ll say it’s this one. I have a pretty short memory which I count as a blessing for an artist. I don’t dwell that long on older work and it keeps me moving forward.
10. What do you like most about your art?
I like that it’s something that only I would make! I had this thought fairly recently and I wrote it down in my sketchbook, it’s pretty cheesy and rambling but it felt revolutionary at the time:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah. I like my art best when it’s the most me and for me. And I like it least when it feels like I’m just making something for social media or for other people’s expectations or whatever.
14. What do you like drawing the most?
Kids in baggy clothing are like my go-to LOL idk if that’s obvious. but also I like being challenged so lately I’ve really loved drawing multi-character compositions, environments, weird angles, etc.
oh i LOVE drawing the underside of shoes lol. And bandages. People that are kinda beat up.. I think it comes from getting a bunch of cuts all the time. I’m always patching myself up and I want to patch characters up too.
15. What do you like drawing the least?
mmm I try to find something to like in every drawing but lets see... I don’t like doing commissions of people’s dogs. Just because it’s normally like... a family friend and my mom volunteered me without my consent and I don’t even really know what they’re expecting me to draw and I don’t even get to meet the dog. Also I’m not that great at dog anatomy. Trying to learn though.
18. What is your purpose for drawing?
This could have a million answers! Uhhh to GIT GOOD??? But also to express myself... and also to make money... I mean it depends on what the drawing IS. I draw fanart mostly to connect to people in the fandom so if you ever see me drawing fanart please take it as like an open invitation to talk to me about the character haha. 
20. How would you rank your art? (poor, mediocre, good, etc.)
Good!!! I have a lot of self-confidence primarily born out of ignorance and a short attention span. If I don’t think too hard about how many other artists are mindblowingly unfathombly good... its easy to think I’m good too! LOL
In all seriousness though, I think the opinion a person has of their art is like a crazy balancing act, right? Like you have to think you suck enough to want to get better but also you have to think you’re good enough to not want to give up. I think we’re all walking that line, I know I am! But also I’m a glass half-full type of person so. Most of the time I feel good about it.
22. List at least one of your “artspirations.”
This is a good question because I’ve been trying and failing to put together one of those “influence map” memes for like a full month now. What’s giving me a hard time is I feel like none of these are actually really obvious “““influences”““ in my art? Like it’s hard to see a lot of them in the work I make...? But idk maybe you guys’ll see what I can’t.
Tumblr media
And these are just a couple! God there’s so many more. I could talk about other artists for ages, from all different genres of art. Daumier, Rockwell like every illustrator out there, Dana Gibson, Alex Toth, Hiroshi Yoshida, a lot of the Brandywine School. Lots of current working artists too, Karl Kerschl, frikkin Masashi Kishimoto lol, Jake Wyatt, Richie Pope, Edouard Caplain, Matt Cook, Sachin Teng, - lots of big internet artists, Sophie Li, Freddy Carrasco, Milliofish, Angela Sung... like all my friends from art school too. I could just keep going but I’ll stop for now lol.
24. Do you have a shameful art past? (recolour sprite comics, tracing art, etc.)
I mean if that’s how we’re defining shameful?? sure LOL. It’s not sprite comics but I used to do pokemon sprite recolors all the time. And I used to trace manga panels and color them... Granted this was all when I was like under 12 yrs old so it’s not even embarrassing. Can you really call it shameful when a 7 year old wets the bed or whatever? Not really. In fact some of these are cool as fuck. Look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
25. Draw a picture!
Man I’m so tired now but here.
Tumblr media
I used to get a lot of compliments for drawing people smiling lol but I don’t think I’ve drawn a lot of smiling lately.. here’s proof I’ve still got it.
OK MEME DONE. onto the rest.
Tumblr media
I read this ask first thing when i opened my computer in the morning and it made me really emotional.. I’m so glad my sketches could help you!!
I think a lot of artists on social media talk about the struggle of making art but imo not enough people talk about the joy! Like I know it’s corny but. I really meant what I said at the beginning of that sketchbook about re-contextualizing art around process and progress > product and perfection. I think its super important..! The strength of messy, unfinished, and energetic art! For the feeling of it, for the love it!
Tumblr media
That's crazy!!! I hope you like 'em. The whole line of x-books is really good rn imo.
Tumblr media
Hi! I totally have the answer for digital stuff on my faq lol. But in terms of drawing on paper.. it varies! I tend to use sketchbooking and any on-paper doodling I do as a way to loosen up/warm-up or experiment. But right now my go-to aresenal is:
Tumblr media
from top > bottom
- kuretake no.55 doublesided brush pen
- tombow fudenosuke
- muji 0.38 ballpoint
- medium size poscas
- grey tombow double brush pens
- good ol bic mechanical pencil
not EXACTly sure which inking you referring to from my sketchbook but if I had to take a guess it'd probably be the kuretake no55. That's been my main inker, lately. Great for sketching with the thin end too.
Tumblr media
You can print out and eat my art if you like. Just please don't mass produce or re-sell. <3
Tumblr media
Thanks! I've come to accept that my art is always gonna be sort of gestural and painty naturally. It's getting it to tighten up enough to be legible that's hard lol...
Tumblr media
uh yeah lol I agree actually. I think yolei is great.
Tumblr media
I assume these asks are related? LOL
1) Yeah totally true. I love David.
2) I don’t take requests, sorry! But if you want to commission me to draw Legion i would be MORE than happy to. Just e-mail me at [email protected].
Tumblr media

wrist aches; h.rj
hello!! could you write a renjun fluff where they're like soulmates and they finally meet each other? your works are literally so cute uwu 
Tumblr media
↬ genre; fluff // soulmate!au
↬ word count; 1.8k+
↬ summary; your wrist aches every time he paints about you
↬ a/n; THIS GIF OF RENJUN EXISTS AND I ONLY KNEW ABOUT IT NOW?? he looks so ~boyfriend material~ ahem, let me collect myself for a second,,,,,right, so this ended up being longer than I planned it to be, but please enjoy painter!renjun
Tumblr media
“why are you hurting?” you mumbled, staring at your right wrist.
your frown deepened, the ache in your wrist similar to a growing pain but not quite the same. you closed your eyes, stretching your arm upwards, letting it hang in the air. it was three in the morning, and all you wanted to do was sleep.
nothing changed, even after five minutes.
you sighed, letting your arm drop and turning your body to lay on your back. just as quickly as it came, the pain went away.
-
renjun gasped awake, afraid that he was going to get hit by that girl’s arm. he stared confusedly at the paintbrush in his hand and was even more confused at the finished painting in front of him. the last time he checked, he fell asleep in his bed.
and oddly enough, he found himself wanting to kiss your ache away.
Tumblr media
“that’s amazing, ‘sung!” you told your brother, leaning forward on your balcony railing. you looked at your wrist, the ache starting to bother you.
“it was magical,” jisung dreamily sighed. you knew your brother’s eyes matched the starry night sky.
“I believe that this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say that getting punched in the face was magical,” you chuckled.
he was silent.
“hello?” you asked, moving your phone to see if he disconnected.
“have you gotten your soulmate mark?”
you swallowed, the throb in your wrist increasing, “it’s late, you should go to sleep.”
“y/n-”
“goodnight, ‘sung.”
you hung up, brushing a hand through your hair. stretching your limbs, you held onto the railings. the various buildings of the city mushed together in front of you.
you looked up, closing your eyes as a shooting star passed by.
“I’m getting impatient,” you sighed, “find me soon.”
-
renjun blinked his eyes open, another painting finished. he stared at his outstretched hand and brought it back to his lap. why couldn’t he see your face?
he sighed, looking out the window. how was he supposed to find you if he didn’t know what you looked like?
well, at least he knew your name. his phone let out a ding.
‘I know a place you can display your art!’
Tumblr media
you ignored the giggles of the girl to your left.
“stop,” she quietly told the guy next to her, continuing to fold clothes.
“but my girlfriend looks so cute,” her boyfriend smiled, snapping more photos.
did they have to do coupley things at 3 in the morning? you chucked more clothes in the washing machine. couldn’t they leave you to wash your clothes by yourself? you aggressively added the laundry detergent, gritting your teeth at the ache in your wrist.
“no! don’t post that,” the girl whined, trying to grab the phone from her boyfriend. he watched in amusement, stretching his arm to make it out of her reach.
you slammed the washing machine door closed. the couple jumped, looking over at you. you continued to ignore them, picking up the empty basket.
“would you take cute photos of me?” you whispered to yourself, eyes trailing to your aching wrist.
-
renjun tilted his head at the painting of you, your back towards him, yet again.
“most definitely.”
Tumblr media
“another night without sleep,” you frowned, adjusting the ice pack on your wrist as the clock glared 3:46 am.
you closed your eyes, laying your head down on the table. you thought about the instagram account jaemin showed you today.
“this is the artist’s account,” he explained, giving you his phone.
“who are you?” you read. the post showed a painting of a girl laying down on her side, her back in view. her right arm was stuck up straight in the air and her hair was a mess on her pillow. purple, iridescent sparkles glowed on her wrist, floating around in the air and trailing to her open window. an empty spot on the bed sat next to her, almost beckoning someone to lay with her; it felt rather cold.
there was something about her that made you feel funny, like you knew the girl.
“that’s one of the paintings we’re hanging tomorrow,” jaemin commented.
“huang renjun,” you sighed, finding it odd how smoothly his name rolled off your tongue, “your gallery is in two days and you haven’t once met with us.”
-
who knew his heart would race this fast because you said his name? or maybe it was beating fast because you uttered the words:
“‘haven’t once met with us?’” he repeated, eyes wide as he stared at the painting.
Tumblr media
“does this girl seem lonely?” you frowned, head tilting at the painting you were hanging.
the girl was at a laundromat, right hand clenched around the washing machine door. her wrist had the same glow of purple as the one in his instagram post. although you couldn’t see her face, her tense shoulders gave off the vibe that she was annoyed by, you presumed, the blurred out couple to her left.
“what makes you say that?” jaemin asked, adjusting another painting.
you pointed at the girl in his painting, “well, she’s alone in all of these.”
jaemin chuckled, “there’s a lot of people alone in pictures.”
you shook your head, “but doesn’t it feel like she’s looking for something- someone?”
the girl in the painting held onto the balcony railing, her right wrist glowing the same purple as the shooting star in the sky. her head was tilted up, back towards the viewer. the purple sparkles were sprinkled lightly around the cluster of buildings in front of her.
“and what about this one,” you told him, pointing to another painting. the girl was sitting at her kitchen counter, an empty seat across from her. her face was tucked away behind her left arm, her other arm stretched across the table with an ice pack resting on her glowing wrist. the spotlight of the lamp above her did nothing but accentuate the fact that her apartment was empty.
“don’t you want to hold her hand?” you mumbled sadly.
after a moment of silence, jaemin spoke.
“well, I don’t think she’s alone.”
“why not?”
“don’t you see all the purple? it’s on her wrist, right?” he shook his own wrist, “that’s where most people have their soulmate marks.”
you stared at him, still confused, “what’s your point?”
he rolled his eyes, “I think the artist is trying to say that even if you feel like you’re alone, you’ve got your other half there with you.”
-
“is this everything?” you asked, hanging the last canvas.
you looked over to jaemin, confused as to why he looked nervous, “I think we forgot one.”
“well, he can just bring when he comes here, right?”
he frowned, “he’s not coming in today.”
“we’re supposed to open tomorrow! how are we supposed to-” you inhaled sharply, pain suddenly shooting through your wrist, “I’ll just go to his studio.”
Tumblr media
“renjun?” you called out, knocking on his door. you clicked your tongue, your phone going to the automated voice message system.
“hello?” you called out again, surprised to see that his front door was open.
you wandered inside, not seeing his shoes by the door, but you did see the painting you forgot.
“is anyone home?” you shouted, picking up the canvas.
there was a girl on it, her knees hugged to her chest. her purple glowing wrist covered her eyes, the tears still dripping down her chin. a crumpled wedding invitation laid next to her on the wrinkled bed sheets, words glimmering under the moonlight. a weird sense of deja vu swirled in your stomach and the ache in your wrist worsened.
“am I going to be alone forever?” you wailed, fridge empty of any ice cream that you could use to eat away your sorrow..
chenle held his fiance in his arms, the both of them smiling as they looked into each other’s eyes. it didn’t help that you just finished watching a kdrama that made you feel single AF.
you dropped the wrinkled piece of paper next to you, hugging your knees tightly to your chest. the ache in your wrist was nothing compared to emptiness in your heart.
“just got myself until then, I guess.”
you placed down the painting and shook away the memory. “I can give you a ride to the museum,” you announced, exploring further into the apartment. sketches of a girl littered his apartment, none of them revealing what her face looked like.
“renjun?” you asked, slowly pushing open the ajar door, the ache in your wrist dulling away.
he was there, facing away from you. he sat in front of a canvas.
“it’s you.”
your furrowed brows soon rose in shock when he turned around, revealing a painting of you. you stood in the open doorway, face caught in surprise.
“you’re way more beautiful in person.”
“that’s...that’s my face,” you dumbly replied.
renjun chuckled, “I believe it is.”
your face felt hot and you wished that he didn’t looked so good with messy brown hair that shined under the sun. you really hoped you weren’t drooling.
his eyes crinkled with joy and held the same relieved look as yours. for a moment the two of you stared into each other’s eyes, the world put on pause.
“wait,” you suddenly said, everything clicking in your head, “are you the reason why my wrist hurts?”
he chuckled, stepping closer to you. he gently grabbed your right wrist, giving it a peck, “sorry ‘bout that.”
if possible, you felt your face heat up even more, “you can make up for it with a date.”
you stepped away from him, “but not before we add the final touches to the gallery.” you quickly turned away from him, annoyed that your face hasn’t cooled down and that your heart was still pumping like you just finished a race.
“let’s go,” you mumbled, hurrying out the door.
renjun raised his brows, taking the painting of you and the other painting that you initially came for.
“can’t forget these, can we?” he reminded, meeting you by the elevator.
you blinked, away your daze. “of course!” you told him, looking ahead. did he have to be so handsome?
when the two of you got into the elevator, you stood in the farthest corner, away from him.
“you know,” he started after a few moments of silence, “for someone who seemed very eager to meet me, you sure act like you don’t like me.”
you turned to him, his teasing smirk making the butterflies in your stomach go wild. “well, being around you makes my mind go blank.”
the elevator dinged and you didn’t waste any time to bolt to your car. you scrunched your face in embarrassment, hoping that maybe the earth will swallow you up.
“if it makes you feel any better, I can’t think straight when you’re naturally adorable like that,” he told you, easily catching up with you.
“don’t say things like that,” you pouted. your face was burning hotter now.
“but it’s true! you’re acting cute right now,” he laughed. your heart thumped at the noise, the most joyous sound you’ve ever heard.
you sighed, opening your car door. this boy will be the death of you.

When you came back from the restroom, Bucky was sitting at the picnic table scribbling in a notebook.
“So you’re a writer?”
Bucky jumped and snapped the leather bound journal shut.
“I… what? This was just a grocery list.”
You frowned at the obvious lie, but decided not to call him on it opting for a different tactic.
“Oh. Sorry. Nat had mentioned you were doing a minor in creative writing, so I kind of just assumed. Sorry.”
You sat down beside him.
“No apology necessary. And I am doing a minor in creative writing. And that wasn’t my grocery list.”
“I figured.”
You smiled encouragingly.  
“I guess I just don’t consider myself a writer. I mean I want to be… Someday. That’s the dream.”
“Do you write now?”  
“Yeah, but it’s just a hobby.” He shrugged. “I’ve never been published.”  
“You don’t have to published to be a writer. You just have to write.”
“Well when you put it like that…”
“I’m sure that you’re a great. You see the world in a different way. What do you write about?”
He exhaled a laugh, bobbing his head slightly.
“Love mostly. Wanda calls me a hopeless romantic. She’s right of course.”
You nudged his shoulder with your own.
“Well, you’re in good company. Love’s a big topic though.”
“I’ll never run out of material that’s for sure. Recently I’ve been favoring quiet love. Love that comes out of nowhere but that you can find everywhere. Love that surrounds you until you couldn’t be more sure of it.”  
“Wow,” you breathed out. “If that’s just you talking I can’t imagine what your writing must be like.”
Bucky blushed at the praise.
“Thanks, doll.”
“Have you ever shared your writing?”
He hesitated before nodding.
“I have a blog. Anonymous, because I’m so not ready to put my name on anything.”
“That’s fine. You don’t have to. But it’s great that you’re putting it out there. If you ever want to share it - not anonymously - let me know.”
You were happy to leave it at that, but Bucky surprised you when he pulled out his phone. You quickly grabbed his hand to stop him.
“You don’t have to show me.”
“I know,” he smiled. “I want to. I’m not sure why. But I want to.”
“I’m honored.”
He scrolled through his phone for a few moments before handing it over.
“Read this one.”
You nodded, and cradled the phone in your hands as you began reading.
 Longing from right beside you.
We embrace, my limbs slow, awkward as if rusted.
Your hand in mine, my cheeks red, hotter than a furnace.
Your smile brighter than the sun at daybreak, it warms me.
It disarms me.
I am seventeen again.
Hiding. Questioning. Unsure.
My desire is benign. It is pure.
Nine o’clock every morning - a new quiet beginning.
Seven o’clock every evening - the sweetest homecoming.  
One press of your lips on mine hits me like a freight car.
I am lost.
I am yours.
 “Wow, Bucky, this is…”
“Terrible. Dry.”
“No. It’s beautiful. And I can feel the emotion. Oh my. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing this with me.”  
“Thanks for not judging me.”
“Why would I judge you?”
“Some people think writing is dumb.”
“I think those people are dumb.”
“I dream of being a published author someday. But every time I start making plans, I’m reminded that writing isn’t a guaranteed career.”
“There are no guarantees in life. And if you ask me, you should take some of your own advice.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You told me that you think Sam should be a chef because it’s what makes him special.”
“Yeah?”
“Well, your writing is what makes you special. And you should give it a fair shot. I think the world needs the words of Bucky Barnes.”
“Thank you for that.”
“Any time. I like to aggressively hype up my friends, so you should probably get used to it.”
Bucky’s laugh was deep and booming.
“You’re the best.”
“Yes. Yes I am.”
Bucky let you read a few more pieces, each more beautiful than the last. He had the heart of a man in love.    
Tumblr media
“So since you know mine, what’s your dream profession?” he asked as you walked back towards the roller coasters after completing your first circuit.
“Photographer,” you replied without skipping a beat.  
“Damn, I had my money on news anchor.”
“Well, I am a journalism major. It seemed like a safer bet.”
Bucky arched an eyebrow at you.
“You don’t have to say it.”
“I wasn’t going to say anything.”
“You’re a terrible liar.”
You laughed and rolled your eyes.
“When did you fall in love with photography?”
You had to think for a moment.
“When I was six or seven, my dad bought me a toy camera and I immediately ran around the house taking a million pictures. And when we got the prints I glued them onto construction paper and taped them up around my living room like it was a gallery that I forced my parents to tour. They were very supportive considering it was mostly blurry pictures of a mop.”
“But I’m sure your passion showed through.”
You smiled appreciatively.  
“Still. But I fell in love with it when I realized that two people can look at the same photo and see a totally different story. And both of them could have a different understanding than the photographer.”
“It definitely illustrates the effect of the consumer’s perspective. That was always my favorite part of literary discussions.”  
“Yes. Totally.”
“Okay, so if journalism isn’t the goal, what is?”
“Freelance photographer I guess. I actually had this idea to make a blog and do weekly photo story prompts, so people could submit their stories based on the pictures and then people could come read and enjoy them. And if it got big enough I could start hosting writing challenges and contests. Steve keeps hounding me to set it up. He says it would give people a chance to fall in love with my photos in a different way.”
“That’s a great idea. I think you should do it.”
“Nah, I doubt anyone would want to do something like that.”
“Are you kidding? It sounds amazing. You would just need to get the word out in the writing community. I would definitely participate.”
“Really?” you asked, excited by the prospect.
Bucky smiled and nodded.
“I might even put my name on it for you.”
Tumblr media
After the roller coaster, you made your way to the pirate themed pendulum ride, trying to position yourselves so you’d have your pick of seats by letting a few people go ahead of you.
“Do you have a favorite photograph you’ve taken?” Bucky asked, as you let another family pass you.
You bit your lip.
“That’s a yes. Will you show it to me some time?”
“I can show it to you now if you really want to see it.”
“I would love to.”
You could sense that his interest was genuine so you slipped your phone out of your pocket and opened Instagram.
“This one is my favorite,” you stated, clutching the screen against your chest.
“You don’t have to show me, you know.”
“I know.”
You smiled and with a deep breath turned the phone to show him.
“Umm that’s just the background.”
You looked at it and sure enough you’d accidentally exited the app.
“Damn it. Okay one second. Here we go.”
You showed him the phone with much less fanfare, but his reaction was immediate.
“Wow.”  
You’d taken the photo after dinner one night. Steve was leaning against the wall on the balcony sketching by the light of a full moon and the mini lanterns you’d wrapped around the railing. You had to capture the moment. Steve heard you fumbling with your camera and looked up just in time, a soft smile gracing his features.
“Perfect,” you murmured as you looked at the shot.
“Yeah, you are.”
“Steve’s the one who encouraged me to put some of my photos on Instagram. But I told him I’d only do it, if that was the first one. It’s still my most popular post. Nat says it’s cuz he’s pretty.”
“He is for sure,” Bucky chuckled. “But he’s also soulful. I want to know what makes a man that happy.”
He had his suspicions.
Tumblr media
“I think this should be my next post,” you cooed as you showed Bucky the picture of him cuddling the plush wolf you had won him at the ring toss.  
“Delete that.”
“Literally never.”
He pouted. “Come on, please.”
You shook your head.
“Nope. This is my new favorite photo. You’re adorable and I’m never deleting it.”
Bucky had only known you a few hours, but he could tell when he should cut his losses.
“Fine. But if you’re keeping that one. We should at least have a cute one of the both of us.”
“That’s a fabulous idea.”
Bucky moved so he was straddling the bench of the picnic table, and you shuffled so that you were in between his legs. You put your phone in selfie mode and took one photo before a woman approached you.
“Would you like me to take a photo of the two of you?”
“Sure, that would be great!”
You handed her your phone as you and Bucky re-situated yourself so you were sitting side by side. Bucky wrapped an arm around your shoulder and the stuffed animal sat on your laps.
She took several photos and you were giggling when Bucky had his wolf kiss you on the cheek.  
“Here you go. I took a bunch.”
“Thank you so much.”
“It’s so nice to see a young couple so in love.”
She walked away before you or Bucky could respond. You both shared an unsure expression as an awkward silence fell between you.  
“Do you want to plan out what to do until lunch?” he asked, not making eye contact.
“Yeah, sure. That sounds like a good idea,” you agreed.
That woman’s comment was repeating on a loop as you thumbed through the pictures she took. You did make a cute couple, but despite having a great time with him so far, you weren’t feeling a spark. What if Bucky was though? Had you been leading him on?
“Y/n, are you okay?”
“What? Sorry, Bucky.”
Bucky chuckled and you saw understanding in his expression which made the knot in your stomach loosen.
“Did it freak you out too?”
You laughed half-heartedly. “That obvious huh?”
“Only a little.”
“Don’t get me wrong. Today has been awesome. And you’re fantastic.”
“Thank you.” He bobbed his head in gratitude. “So are you.”
“Thanks. But,” you drew out the word. “I just don’t feel that spark.”
Your teeth sunk into your bottom lip as you braced for his reaction.  
“Oh thank god.”
You turned to him with wide eyes.
“I don’t either.”
“You don’t?”  
Bucky shook his head. “You’re amazing. And I really want to be best friends with you. But…”
“That’s all,” you finished for him.
He nodded. You blew out a relieved breath.
“Full disclosure. I think Wanda set this up because she was tired of me pining over someone.”
“You mean Sam?” you asked with a knowing smile.
He was unsurprised you’d figured it out.
“I don’t hide it well, do I?”
“I had my suspicions, but you could probably chalk it up to be being best friends and roommates. But it’s all over your writing.”
“That’s fair.”
“And in the interest of honesty. Nat 100% set me up so I would get over my own dumb crush.”
“On Steve,” he stated matter-of-factly.  
You swatted at his arm when you saw his smirk.
“Don’t be smug.”
“I’m not. I’m amused. Your art gives you away too. The way you see Steve comes through in your photos. They’re beautiful, breathtaking even, but definitely an insight into your heart.”
“Not the worst critique of my work I’ve received,” you joked, making you both laugh.
“This is pretty awkward huh. We’re on this date - which is honestly one of the best I’ve been on - and we’re both pining after other people.”
“Well, at least we’re not pining after the same person. That would be way more awkward. And it’s one of the best dates I’ve been on too.”
“I know that this isn’t what they were hoping for, but I’m really glad that Natasha and Wanda set us up.”
“So am I.”
Tumblr media
A/N: EEEEE okay, so I hope that you enjoyed this. I know it may not be what you expected (or you might totally have expected it) just sit tight. It’s gonna be fluffy I promise.
