some uh, david chapman and jake lourdes again. been re-reading between the teeth and bookmarking passages i wanted to draw.

The dialogue i like, i just didnt stick it to the actual book's description so take it however you want.

Struggling with colors as usual, so many things to draw, not enough time in the day for it...

some more georgie and robbie, this time when theyre a bit older, reaching up to the later chapters. I know Georgie is supposed to have brown hair, i think i lightened it a bit too much while color grading and painting it, but i do think him being a bit lighter is a nice contrast. Peep robbie's cute little belly :^)

i had so much trouble with this piece, i'm learning to paint atm so it's really just trial and error when it comes to this stuff...

Another quick piece of Robbie and Georgie. Robbie being the main centerpiece for this. Really enjoyed the back and forth of them being at BU and Washington early in in their story which mainly inspired this.

Been listening to Dhruv while drawing this and I think really fits the vibe, his two songs Speed of Light, and How? Are two great ones

Hopefully more to come of Robbie and Georgie… ❤️

For Em [@jakelourdes], for the @ycmalholidayexchange!

The prompt was “david/jake f/f” and I said “yes, absolutely!!!!” so hard that it turned into 7k words and is coming in riiiiiight under the wire. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for the open prompt, I had a blast :D Hope you like it!

Beta’d by problemlikelauren. Thanks for fielding all my late-night epiphanies about this AU.

(This fic will be archive-locked on January 31.)

imo the pov character should be lying to themselves and concealing shit from themselves constantly

[rowanisawriter]

interrupting others who might say something revealing or important, thinking around things, using words like “didn’t” or “doesn’t” or “imagines” to describe actions not taken or half taken, dreaming things and never talking about them or thinking about them during waking hours, lying to people, hiding true feelings, sitting in shadow or low light to keep any accidental flicker of emotion hidden, writing in obtuse ways that doesn’t let the reader know what they’re thinking or planning, avoiding adverbs in tense moments, describing actions in straightforward and almost clinical ways sometimes, hiding the truth from the character and the reader even though you both know or suspect but there is just enough space there to fill with doubt

Thinking about Hudson Williams saying that Shane thinks he’s better at masking how he feels than he actually is and the way that Shane’s queerness shines through under his facade… the way he is actually not very good at playing straight and when people ask him about women he just tries to ignore it and deflect… the way his entire life is built around a lie and it’s not even one he’s very good at holding up but he doesn’t have to be good at it because nobody is even assuming he’s gay because he’s a hockey player how could he be gay. If anyone was paying attention they would figure it out but until rose nobody does. His parents suspect but don’t ask. He doesn’t even have to outright lie he’s just so isolated by the fact that nobody wants to look too close for fear of seeing him.

mostly off.

A playlist about when it wasn't

"How long have [Jake and David] been toghether?" "Like off and on since the summer after their rookie year I think" Gabe says. "Mostly off though. Maybe a couple years all told?"

[broresteia]

finished the between the teeth series so here’s a sketchy sketch

[davidchapman]

so you want to play it rough in the parking lot?

David talks about himself like he's a completely different person than he is. (...) "Everyone's right about you,"Jake says, and he's honestly amazed the words come out without him choking on them.

There isn't a routine, nothing David can count on, and maybe thats why time slips the way it does, sticky summer days and the echoing cool of the rink and Jake's fingers rought against David's jaw, why the end comes before David can get used to anything.

... and ever after

"I love you" "I'd never leave you for some old geezer," Jake prompts. "I'd never leave you," David says. "For-" Jake says. "That's it," David says. "I don't need to add the rest, do I?" Jake looks at him, silent. "No," he says finally. "You don't."
