Welcome, welcome! Watch your step – you might fall in.

── ⋆｡𖦹°‧ ──

Set in the presumably fictional village of Foxby Heath (and a few extra universes), our protagonist Malakye Otieno travels back to Fox'eath in an attempt to solve the mystery brewing in his home village – where was the engineer, and did the butcher kill them? There, he faces his ex-boyfriend Adelard, and also the possibility that God may exist and there are more than one.

Ocean of Hands (2oH) is a book that I am attempting to write. The problem? I've never written a book. I'm not good at writing. Any ao3 fics I've posted in the past became orphans.

In this account, I will be posting art of the characters, little teasers, and most likely asking for help with writing. As I already mentioned, I'm extremely inexperienced with writing, but it's the most accessible thing for me right now. Which is why Ocean of Hands will most likely not come in the near future.

But for now, buckle in and don't look at the moons for too long while I tell you a story about old broken friends, gods and talking felines.

Attempting to draw a vast majority of the Ocean of Hands characters this month because they're all queer in some way Part 1:

MALAKYE OTIENO - transgender male, bisexual, disability pride

close up & flag/s

transgender: over shoulders

bisexual: halo

disability pride: the um. aura thing???

by the way, i understand that lgbtq+ pride month & disability pride month are different, but i thought it'd be important to include the flag anyways

hi guys. Adelard looks strangely pretty. ok

[oceanofhands]

Malakye's first relationship was with Adelard, and for the most part it was sweet and healthy. But it ended because Adelard never accepted help with his mental issues, and he hardly communicated with Malakye. So, when it became too much, Malakye left. Because he's not responsible for the happiness of someone who can't accept help, and it was a hard pill he had to swallow.

His second relationship, the shortest one, was unfortunately with a cop. He doesn't even remember how it happened or why, but he somehow loved Daniel. That ended on a worse episode than with Adelard. It ended with Malakye bruised, cold, aching, and losing all trust in love and life.

His third and longest-lasting relationship, years later, was with Kerys. She was always patient with him, and was honest and communicated and apologised whenever she upset him. That relationship didn't end.

Adelard, while he acted irrationally, never physically harmed or threatened Malakye. Despite his flaws, he was, for the most part, a good person. He was still always a good friend to Malakye. They just didn't work out in a relationship, and Adelard was raised to keep all his struggles inside. It just overflowed, and Malakye was there when it happened.

Daniel was never a good person. He knew he was hurting Malakye, he knew it was wrong, and he relished in having that control over someone. Nothing can redeem him, not even after death.

Kerys was good to him. She obviously has her own flaws, but she's good to Malakye. He's never felt so comfortable and loved. She may have been a dangerous assassin back in her original universe, and rarely innocent people would get caught in the crossfire - which struck guilt deep within her - but with Kerys, heaven and hell were just words to Malakye.

characters who are undead. characters who die in the end and so they've been dead from the start. characters who are chased by death. characters that chase death. characters who died and came back to life. characters that die again and again and again. characters who consider their past self dead. characters who were born in someone else's corpse. characters that claw their way out of the grave. characters whose deaths leave such a gaping wound that even their absence is still a presence. characters who are emissaries of death. characters who are alive but consider themselves dead. characters whose deaths are ambiguous. characters whose existences are defined by death.
