warlock wizard Wally scribbles... Thinkings! oh and a bonus bard-ish Barnabys in the corner for flavor

outfit ramblings:

first of all that is a Terrible rendition of what Home looks like in my head. i just needed to fill empty space </3

the staff was the toughest part honestly. bc it Had to be paintbrush-themed, but then halfway through scribbling i was like "oh shit. there are only so many ways to draw a paintbrush-wizard-staff and Weevmo already hit it out of the park." so if you're seeing similarities! you're right! i tried to make it as different as i could! there is Inspiration from their marvelous design, however accidental or subconscious! Apologies!

he gets a pointed hood instead of a hat because a) it looks great on him! and b) it has less of a chance of messing up his hair! also c) it helps muddle the difference between Wizard and Warlock. typically hoods have evil/duplicitous connotation - blur the lines! i want his long gloves and forearm wraps to have the same vibe. his neckerchief is a big help in hiding Home's seal!

his layered (loosely apple-themed) capelet (which the hood is attached to) has a nice high collar & hides the details of his loose shirt - eye embroidery! and some flowers on the shoulders but yk, mostly eyes. on one side of the shirt buttons has open eyes, the other side they're closed! there's also one big eye on his back!

his belt buckle is two halves of an apple! he wears tall thigh-high boots w/ low heels to feel Taller! he has a book-holster hooked to the back of his belt, which holds his grimoire! and he has a lil thigh-bag that has been magicked to be Bottomless and warps size! he can fit pretty much anything in there! canvases! paint! apples!

his half-skirt thing (idk what the word for it is!) is really plush, like a quilt - his capelet is the same fabric. soft, cozy. sometimes he'll use the skirt thing as a blanket in a pinch, or as a picnic placemat!

is his outfit a little Complicated? is it annoying to replicate? yes and yes. but im a maximalist at heart and Nothing But The Best for the blorbo <3 layers my beloved <3

#i know ive said it before but whenever i make an au its essentially an Exploration in a sense #and this fantasy au ~Bog Edition~ is basically me going #'so wally and his house huh. whats up with that' #and maybe im taking it a bit to the extremes #since home is pretty much warlock wally's god??? sorta? loosely?? #well it literally gave wally life and a body. so. #and it also literally took the place of his heart - wally Cannot live without home #they have a fun 'we cant exist without each other now' codependent very devoted kinda unhealthy relationship #wally sometimes has to do terrible things for home #and home will do terrible things in return for wally. even when wally doesnt want them to #and they both love each other very much <3 what kind of love is it <3 fuck if i know! theyre Weird About It though #its the only dynamic an ancient lovecraftian horror & the puppet they gave life & tethered itself to can have!!! #wally wisely keeps home & his 'warlock' status a secret from his friends for as long as he can #they just dont understand his & home's bond smh #scribble salad #welcome home #wh fantasy au #gonna have to workshop barns.... #i need to balance the fantasy + hes a distinguished fella + bard #hence the hat. the hat stays. #gotta find the right vest... #and then everyone else if i feel like it.... #outfit design is so Grueling but i refuse to keep it simple #there have to be LAYERS it has to be IN CHARACTER i have to put ALL THE EFFORT INTO IT

Hello! Thank you for the prompt, this was so fun! (Though I might have gone a little heavier on the 🤎 than the 💛...)

💛 reunion kiss / relief + 🤎 multiple kisses / kisses all over / kiss after kiss

Prompts from this post

-

The rattle of the doorknob has Eddie’s head popping up from where he’s been bent over his notebook all afternoon. He glances at the clock and realizes that it had snuck towards three p.m. while he’d been distracted.

Damn it.

“Eddie?” Steve calls from the hallway as he shuts the door behind him. “I’m home!”

Narrowly avoiding serious injury as he struggles out of the position he’s pretzeled himself into in the desk chair, Eddie scrambles up and skids on socked feet out into the hall.

Steve, his bags on the floor by the door, is in the process of emptying his pockets onto the hall table (keys, wallet, utility knife, a handful – rocks? Acorns?? Never mind–), and he looks up when Eddie appears to give him that genuine, happy smile that still takes Eddie’s breath away.

“Hey,” Steve says.

“I lost track of time,” Eddie announces.

“It’s fine,” Steve says, his smile going a little puzzled.

“Nooo, it’s not fine,” Eddie insists, striding down the hall, closing the space between them as quickly as possible. “I wanted to be right here when you got in so I could do this–” he reaches up and cups his hands around Steve’s jaw, angling his head until he can lean in and press a kiss to his lips, before pulling back with a smile. “Welcome home.”

“Eddie, I was only gone for three days,” Steve says, though his own smile has only grown, his hands settling on Eddie’s hips.

“Mm,” Eddie hums, moving his hands to Steve’s shoulders to he can pepper kisses from the corner of his mouth and across his cheek. “Entirely too long.” He switches sides, kissing across Steve’s other cheek. “The next time the gremlins want to kidnap you so you can take them camping, tell them I have first dibs on you.” Eddie kisses down over the sharp edge of Steve’s jaw, ending with his nose tucked into the soft spot beneath Steve’s ear; he still smells like campfire, and Eddie can feel three days’ worth of stubble prickling at his cheek. “I missed you.”

Then, much to Eddie’s displeasure, Steve pulls away. He spends a moment staring at Eddie like he’s never seen him before, before his expression shifts to something like awe.

And then he’s leaning back in to kiss Eddie, warm and hard and full against his lips.

“I missed you, too,” he says, then pushes back in for another kiss. “So much,” –and another kiss. “Every day,” –and another. “The kids made fun of me.” –and another. “You should come with next time.” –and another.

“Not a chance– never roughing it again–” Eddie manages to stutter out between a few more kisses. “Next time just stay home– let the little shits duke it out with the bears or whatever on their own.”

Steve lets out a surprised snort of amusement, finally pulling away from Eddie’s mouth to press his forehead into the crook of his neck while his shoulders shake with restrained laughter.

“They’re old enough,” Eddie reasons, now grinning to himself. “Let them face nature on their own, if they’re so excited.”

“I like camping,” Steve mutters into Eddie’s shoulder, though he sounds like he’s still trying hard not to laugh. He tightens his arms around Eddie’s waist for a moment, taking a deep breath in before straightening up again. "But– I also haven’t had a hot shower in three days–”

“Another reason to never spend time in the woods.”

“–and, I think you should come help me remedy that.”

“Now that,” Eddie decides, already unwinding himself from Steve so he can tug him farther inside, “I can definitely do.”

i am a firm believer in phoenix wright and miles edgeworth having an extremely homoerotic codependent friendship for twenty years before they get together and when that happens they immediately get married and skip straight to being a couple of bitchy old queens

#i Am counting the time they spent apart in that twenty years they were still homoerotic and codependent without seeing each other #they're just that powerful #em talks #ace attorney #wrightworth #narumitsu #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth

dennis saying "we spend every waking minute together [with charlie and frank], it'll be good for us to keep our distance" as an excuse to not share a table with them during his monthly dinner with mac... as if he and mac aren't the ones who ACTUALLY see each other 24/7 since not only do they work together, but they also literally live together too. incredible.

#good for us to keep our distance suree #it's funny bc he said the same thing when he realised hes codependent w mac after dee called him out for it #and now hes using the good to keep our distance reason to not share the table w charlie and frank #so mac and him can have their monthly date together without them #so basically he used to say it to get out of his codependency w mac and now hes using it to be even more codependent on mac #i mean s8 wise. not rly now now #im aware that dennis also just hated the idea of approaching them first for ego reasons btw #i just think that dennis sometimes seems pretty unaware #like hes painfully aware but also unaware bc hes deep in denial if that makes sense?? #like how hes so yuck at the fact of being a partner/lover whatever to mac #and says the i sleep w women but im emotionally involved w mac line as a pretend thing #without realising that hey thats. thats literally it. thats the literal truth to their relationship tbh #i kinda think he does realise it but he buried it deep and sometimes it'll hit him hard randomly and he would do impulsive things thus #whatever idk #macdennis #iasip posting

#svsss #shang qinghua #but mainly I'm just here to vague post LMAO I don't like to vague post its not very effective in terms of venting but #but basically I guess I'm becoming hyperaware of my like... cognitive dissonance codependency and derealization ee #also my general laziness ig and where it overlaps into executive dysfunction or whatever like I may genuinely have some issues but #I am also a lazy son of a bitch jfjfkgkg and i need to figure out how to figure it out so I can work on both in more effective ways hhggg #oh yeah but basically the thing to remember for later is the silence in the call and the immediate unmute and chat activity once I left #I should remember this and stop interacting I think? I should try to give em space I think I'm being too clingy or something #or maybe my own silence is too awkward and dampens the call? I was kinda just spacing out and not doing anything so I get its kinda weird #LMAO so I should just like try not to be in call for those times mm #I just like being in call with my friends jdhfkg but I suppose its not very good either #I overindulge I suppose another friend pointed it out to me before too haha but fjfjjt its just easier than facing bouts of dread by myself #eehh and that's why I gotta do something about my Metnal Ailneses hfjfj but ngl I don't really know how to go about it... #I get embarrassed looking stuff up djfnfkg and half the time I don't even know what to look up I just draw ?s and I give up #I suppose I also have commitment issues too but that ones not new which is an issue of itself aaaaaaaa #man idk idk I just don't really get it I guess djdjfjf and I've got existential dreads and think maybe it doesn't really matter whats wrong #cause there's no point to fixing them because ultimately I'm gonna die alone and a failure anyways? so like ehfjgkg idk #its depressing and I know its like sabotage cause my brain is being a little silly a little goofy and its not a shared sentiment #with the better half of me and the entirety of my friends but yknow its just ee harder sometimes to believe in the optimism ig #and i can talk about it somewhat normally and without like having a ✨️break down #but yknow djfjgkg I'm very emotional a person ya? I think sqh is relatable for gods sake 💀 #irrationality sentimentality nihilism and existential dreads... wanting to die because living is too hard despite all my hopes for living... #just the ol regulars yknow? #and another thing... do I talk to my friends about these things? I vent them out here a lot but what do I really want? #I'm not strong enough to keep it to myself clearly but I'm also too proud to share these thoughts? I dump them out in the open and for what? #whenever someone reaches out with concern and care I don't respond in kind and refuse to elaborate? #so like what do I want with this? I guess I want someone to know I'm going insane half the time I'm awake? but not do anything about it? #that's pretty unfair I guess... and stupid I think I do want to share my thoughts with someone but I'm too scared of the ramifications #and that my pride can't stand the fact I might be looked differently by my friends even tho the image they have of me is already quite silly #man.... idk.... I'll come to conclusions myself and do nothing about them so I guess that'll happen again aah idk idk idk

I feel like it’s not talked about enough that early in the books Kevin is the only person we see Andrew initiating any type of physical closeness/touch with at all … also thinking about how they’re described physically with each other in Son of Nefes like. so much tenderness (@ your tags about how Andrew carries himself around Kevin and Neil)

I definitely think their closeness in the beginning gets overshadowed a lot by how close Andrew and Neil get later in the series. And that's not a diss on andreil! I think it's important to Andrew's character to see that while Neil played a very large part in letting Andrew explore his boundaries and grow comfortable with physical affections, there were others that helped in that healing along the way too.

One of my favourite scenes is the one where Kevin takes his glove off for Andrew to inspect his hand for any damages. It's written in such a way that implies they weren't paying any attention to the rest of the world around them. Matt had been carded, the play was over and a fight had broken out, and during that sliver of time, either Andrew had hailed Kevin over or he'd gone of his own volition to the goal for Andrew to give his injuries a one over. Kevin knew he was going to get swapped out, and they both turned somewhat surprised when Dan called out to Kevin, as if the game being in play was an afterthought. (Which, considering it's Kevin, seems somewhat ooc since he always knows what's going on on court).

And, although we don't have the exact words regarding Andrew's deal with Kevin, it was implied in the most basic terms that Andrew would protect Kevin from Riko. (There's obviously nuance here given Andrew's bodyguard tendencies when Kevin gets into later spats with people, but for the sake of how vague most of Andrew's deals are spoken aloud, I think it's safe to assume he promised to protect Kevin from his big bad not sibling in the same way he promised to have Neil's back). All that just to say... It wasn't really in their deal for Andrew to protect or look after Kevin outside of his affiliations with the Ravens. And yet, even after threatening to break his own hand before all this, because Kevin annoyed the piss out of him so much, here he was, inspecting Kevin's hand and putting the game on hold to do so.

This injury has nothing to do with Riko or the Ravens. So, in terms of their deal, he didn't really need to dote on Kevin like that. And yet.

And yet.

And this is really only one instance of them being glued at the hip. Andrew does a lot of redirecting of Kevin's person in the same way we see him do later with Neil. Like you said as well, Kevin's the only one for some pages that we see Andrew physical with that isn't necessarily reactionary or defensive. I know Andrew was still on his meds at the time, but this line came across to me as him literally shoving Andrew down court who didn't seem to take much issue with the it:

He doesn't make much mention of it, but if I had to wager a guess, these moments of familiar contact are not a new thing upon Neil's arrival.

(Also it's been a hot minute since I skimmed through son nefes (the ec and I are on cherry picking terms most days) but I know Renee saw it too.)

Like it makes me insane to think about how their deal didn't have to incorporate all that closeness. It didn't require Andrew to become intertwined with the rest of Kevin's life and daily going on's. He could have agreed to keep him on a leash from getting dragged out of the fox den by the Ravens and called it a day, but we can see clear as day that Andrew treats his relationship with Kevin far more delicately than that. In terms of canon, the best friend (platonic soul bond or whatever title floats your fancy) behaviour jumped out of Andrew so fast, I'm shocked how anyone could overlook it.

And I haven't even touched on how Wymack views their relationship, or Kathy's show, or the role Andrew plays as Kevin's other half post Evermore, or the first genuine smiles are the ones they give each other, or the pseudo threat of the butter knife scene, or whatever they had going on here:

Like, there are certainly motions that can be considered varying levels of tender, but I do think it's important to remember that Andrew's gestures should not be measured with the same scale as say someone like Renee. We can obviously see in later chapters that Andrew can be incredibly gentle (ie the hip kiss that ruined my life), but I think it's a disservice to Andrew's character to understate how close he and Kevin are through the series, both physically and emotionally.

#and i say emotionally with an asterisk because i dont think anyone in that series made it out without some codependency issues #but thats another topic #also thos got really long and rambly im so sorry #i just feel very desperately about Them #aftg #kevin day #andrew minyard #kandrew #nana asks
