Shadow & Substance

"If it's a dream, I'm always dreaming it. Butler, Kampfer, Cagliostro, St Germain, Paracelsus, Xu Fu... I've been called by many names, but I've always been dreaming. So of course, I'm dreaming now, aren't I?"

Like a shadow, I am and I am not.

Just a Heads-Up

There are going to be some changes around here.

I haven't posted very often or very consistently, and I think that is due, in large part, to the fact that I've restricted myself a bit, as far as what I post here.  I ran out of official art a while ago.  I post new canon stuff on the rare occasions when it comes about.  I post fanart, fanfic, and costumes when I manage to dig stuff up.  

Overall, I've tried to keep things pretty canon, I guess you could say.  I haven't posted a lot of my own stuff because I tend to play on my own headcanon a lot, and I've tried to keep my headcanon out of things.  Which seems silly, in retrospect, as this blog is all about my love for this character, and my headcanons and theories and derivative works are a large part of that.

So.  Long story short, I'm going to posting a much wider range of things here.  This is going to become less a character-dedicated blog and more of character exploration blog, if that makes any sense.  I'll still post canon stuff and fanart and all that, but I'll also be sharing my own ramblings and fics and picspams and just random stuff that strikes me as Isaak-y.  So things should be a lot more active and a lot more fun.

In light of all the changes, I'll be changing the url too.  Just so you know.

If anyone has any questions, comments, requests, etc. just drop a note in the ask box.

I have no idea how to respond to these things. XD Will submit to you once they're done though!

Awesome!  Thanks!

The close up you have of his gloves in your animated Gif, can I have that? I'me trying to make the gloves.

Sure!  Here's the whole page so you can have it at full size.  Hope this helps, and good luck with the gloves!  I'd love to see them when you're done!

Fic: Thistle & Weeds [Isaac Butler + William Wordsworth - Trinity Blood]

I begged you to hear me, there’s more than flesh and bones Let the dead bury the dead They will come out in droves But take the spade from my hand, and fill in the holes you’ve made

It was raining that night, a cataclysm pouring down around us, making it almost impossible to see through the windshield of the old car, even with the wipers on. I didn’t bother trying. I wasn’t the one driving, after all. I alternated, instead, between staring out the rain-streaked window and watching him.

And then I doodled Isaak.

[panzermagier]

Guess who finally reappeared in the latest chapter?

If you haven't seen it yet, you can download it here.  I can't wait for someone to translate this chapter!  I might have a go at Isaak's pages, but it will probably take me from now until doomsday to get anywhere if I can manage it.

In the meantime, I'll be off making icons.  All of the icons.

So this is basically how I always imagine the Ordenhaus.  Warm and inviting.  Like a tomb.
