NSFW Alphabet of Francis Osman

NSFW Alphabet challenge for Francis from my series The Fox and the Rose. If anyone wants one on Scrooge I can but he really wouldn't have much to add to this presently that hasn't already been done because the man is innocently unaware about any of it until its thrown at him. He's curious but the knowledge just isn't there. He just accepts it like, "Whelp this is how I die. Life's been nice." :T

R. Obviously. X'D

The Interesting Case of Francis Osman and Ebenezer Scrooge. The Golden Pair.

This is a long worked on character reference I have expanded upon to breakdown Francis personality and what uniquely draws him to a person such as Scrooge as well as Scrooge's unique personality traits. This took forever! Ha ha.

If you read the story The Fox and the Rose it is recommended to read this to get a good understanding what makes both characters tick.

No spoilers for the story, it just touches theoretical events mildly without spoiling the situation itself.

Not to be insensitive but im always amazed when people with a million+ followers on social media or whatever are like im gettting death threats and then post an example and it’s someone on a burner instagram account saying some shit like “im gonna get youuuu” like bro I’ve gotten my full first and last name sent to me anonymously and you have the grinch in your inbox

[crimson-phantom-designs]

Exactly. Instagram was the worst for me to get stuff like this. Full name. Location. I've been stalked. Which is why I abandoned that space.

Last two jobs I had similar threats to my face. One tried to follow through back in 2023.

I wish all I got was a whiney, Grinchy troll.

If it's okay for me to ask, how do you draw fabric or wrinkles on clothes? I LOVE how you draw clothes, and I struggle with drawing clothes that would look realistic

Do you have any tips or tutorials?

Hope that helps! :]

“There are no trigger warnings in real life”

“The real world is cruel, get over it.”

My boyfriend is triggered by Christmas and Christmas music. We were in a restaurant, and Christmas music was playing, and he started panicking so he went outside for a cigarette. The manager of the restaurant overheard him saying he had to get out, and changed the music over for the rest of the time we were there. There are safe spaces in the real world. People are nicer than you think. And bullshit people who try to tell you to get over your triggers, ain’t shit.

[autasticanna]

Honestly “the world is cruel get over it” is pretty easily translated to “I’m a complete asshole who doesn’t want to be held responsible for my sh*tty behavior”

[cargopantsman]

The world may be cruel but you don’t have to be.

[brink-of-insanity-georg]

the world is cruel, but bitch im one in 8 trillion. Im not the world. I dont have to be cruel. If I can make our tiny corner of the world a bit warmer ill be damned if i dont try

Titled this Snakebite for reasons. 😏

That one scene in Wilde 1997 because I needed it with them!

Just like this. This is the way. ❤️‍🔥🫠🙌

They're just two drunk boys having a good time(Stede certainly is).

They're at Jackie's bar and someone walks in. Who is Ed eyeing? 👀

Maybe it's Mary with Evelyn or Doug who ventured in from a traveling excursion- they do say it's becoming too touristy there.

Maybe it's a rival pirate that set up a meeting with them up to strike up a deal and Ed means to prove a point.

Whoever it is, Ed's feeling a bit cheeky about it.

Who's the top and who's the bottom in their relationship

[crimson-phantom-designs]

They switch things up, yeah, but Stede absolutely is a bratty bottom! Once he gets a taste of it his first time, he can't get enough. He never felt so complete before or realized intimacy could feel so right for the first time in his life. 🥰🫠

Ed is a-okay with it and enjoys making up all kinds of role play shenanigans with Stede(even if they get side tracked way off the sex with their character backstories and lore). It's all part of the fun finally being able to express themselves outside the social boxes the world had crammed them into.

When someone is traumatized by something and they're unable to solve it, they'll often find some way to escape it. When this happens, they'll often treat other problems as if they're more severe than they actually are.

For example, a teenager has rich parents who treat them like absolute shit. But the parents buy expensive things. They're traumatized by the constant abuse, but they see the expensive things as the reward for tolerating the abuse. And when they receive something expensive, they feel some relief. Then, when they don't get the car they want for their birthday, their escape from their trauma has been taken away. They lash out in response. People who observe them conclude that they're a spoiled, unappreciative brat.

Another example is when someone is suicidal and their reason seems minor. It's very likely that there's a much more powerful source of pain, but they have no solution to that, so they distracted themself by trying to solve another problem. Then, when they can't, they become suicidal.

Stede is solo here, but he's being the best good boy he can be as he's made to be patient.

Who that is for is up to you. ;)
