my art tag my writing tag

Hi, I'm Ryn! I'm a hobby artist/writer and a chronic pain endurer. I focus on drawing artworks from IFs (mostly from The Wayhaven Chronicles, Shepherds of Haven, Press Play, etc.) and of my ocs. In addition to posting my art/writing, I also reblog ship inspo, edits, gifs, text posts, etc. Wayhaven's LT route is my bread and butter and I talk about it often :^)

Q&A

Haven't I seen you around in the tag before?

This is a blog that I remade on 23.03.2026, after struggling with a lot of self-doubt. It was a way for me to have a "fresh" start as I continue to work on art (and occasionally, writing.)

Do you take commissions?

Not currently!

More about my OCs:

Yves Batra (The Wayhaven Chronicles) — cis male (he/him), homosexual. Pessimist. Heart over mind. Bend the rules. Stubborn and impulsive. Science and Tech focused. Nate Sewell and Adam du Mortain ♡

More information about Yves: His character sheet | His canon timeline of events A/N: Yves's story follows my own version of Wayhaven's plot, diverging a lot from the original. The major story beats are still the same, however his interactions with main/side characters differ heavily from what's in the Books. His version of the LT is more tragic and heavy on the themes of crumbling friendships, how monstrous can the vampires truly be, how love twists into something you can no longer recognise, etc.

Quinlan "Quin" Narain (Shepherds of Haven) — cis male (he/him), homosexual. Of elvish heritage. Circle trained. Enchanter. Trouble Alder and Liefred Antiqua ♡

Mateo de Léon (Press Play) — cis male (he/him), bisexual. Lincoln Saunders and Stevie McLaughlin ♡

Nicholas "Nico" Jackson (Infamous) — cis male (he/him), homosexual. Griffin Reign ♡

WIP Wednesday (on Thursday)

Thank you so much for tagging me @ohmypawsandwhiskers 💛

A little snippet from Chapter Four of "Me and You (and Him)", that's been making me act a little unwise ever since I wrote it down, hehe hihi :^)

He missed Yves. He missed his presence so much, one could call it an obsession, if it wasn't love. Minutes pass in hushed stillness, as the two men look upon one another and suddenly, even though the most gentle of smiles doesn't quite reach his eyes, Yves sets the brush to the side before turning to Nate, letting his hair fall around him like curtains. He doesn't say anything, not at first and Nate wonders, for but a brief, fleeting moment, if perhaps he had said something wrong, even though he didn't say much. Then, Yves parts his lips and whispers, such a simple yet profound phrase, one which sends a shiver down Nate's back and pulls him back into reality. "Show me."

Tagging @blu-ewraith, @agentnatesewell, @thee-morrigan, @nevira-names, @hanna-writess, @asukatoshipiled, @turtleybeachin, @serenpedac, @carriehobbs, @wayhavenots, @dumortains, @detectiveethanulrich and whoever else would like to do this. No pressure, of course 💛

I'll try locking in with art, since my mind's not as clouded as it was yesterday but I just wanted to say that it makes me so happy that others like what I've written for "Me and You (and Him)" so far. I was so excited to share this fic, I wanted to tell this part of Yves's story for so long, I'm giggling and kicking my legs about it, thanks y'all 😊💛

[mornynge]

So the question is, do I draw something risky, inspired by one of the chapters of the v-shape fic and if I do, do I include it in a fic itself as a bonus illustration or do I make a separate work on AO3 for all of my art where Yves and Nate are... Being cuddly, let's just say that so I don't explode from embarrassment, lmao

[so-many-ocs]

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

[uwontrememberme]

everything will probably be fine but i have to get really anxious just in case

The way I couldn't lock in AT ALL and instead got locked out by both pain and my mind not being able to focus, well, I'll try again tomorrow

[mornynge]

I'll try locking in with art today and actually post one of the things I started recently, hope y'all are ready for Adam "I'm being a giant hater" du Mortain to appear on your dash, cause let me tell you, he's frying me over here

[mornynge]

Just realised that in addition to the scars that he got as a result of Murphy's experiment, Yves would now have a scar that's always there to remind Nate and Adam that they messed up, the constant reminder of their fight, the wound that they both delt Yves while he was trying to stop them, oh I feel unwell

[mornynge]

Editing some parts from the next few chapters, from the v-shape fic and ngl, that first awkward evening/night after Nate moves back to Yves's apartment got me acting unwise. Like, yeah, there's scenes in this fic that make me feel sick to my stomach but I don't think anything compares to this one because it's Nate, holding onto a foolish hope that they can just, go back to what they once had, without truly addressing the elephant in the room and Yves, well, his inner monologue makes me want to scream and cry

[mornynge]

So maybe writing down Nate's inner thoughts about how much he missed the fragile (but still peaceful) relationship he had with Yves, wasn't a wise thing to do right after waking up

[mornynge]

When Nate asks Yves the "Did you ever enjoy being intimate with me?" question and then Adam implies that Yves is not enjoying their casual rendezvous in the middle of nowhere anymore (if he ever did) and then Nate corners Yves with the "Did you enjoy being intimate with Adam?" question and then Adam corners Yves with the "I bet you like having sex with Nate more than with me" accusation, all in the span of a week, LET THIS MAN LIVE, LET HIM BREATHE

[mornynge]

I think Bobby should say "I'm a bright young reporter with a point of view" at some point, maybe when he's crashing a date between Yves and Nate
