Now I know that we choose soulmates ourselves. Fate leaves that up to us. And like he also said, maybe you get more than one. I know that I have. I got four.
Kiss meme with the Drew Crew! ❤️
Reference and a few alts below the cut:
These two more serious Nick ones felt out of place next to the rest that were all sweet and fun, and there was some wonkiness I wanted to redraw anyway.
Some smudgy NancyBess:
Aaaand unfortunately the artist of one of the memes I was using has since deactivated, but I used a mix from kaddydraws and @starcre8tor (link)
One of my favorite things I've drawn. ♥ You can probably tell this version is a little censored, which has always bothered me (nothing's even showing either way), so here's the proper version below the cut:
the sketch for the last comic, because i always find those fun to see. I ended up cutting out most of the stuff about them being in a helicopter, because that seemed distracting if you didn’t already know what was going on. Yusuke straight up jumping out of a helicopter is great stuff though, the madlad.
I could picture this scene from Persona 5 Years Later ch 80 so well that I just had to draw it 😊
If you haven’t read this fic yet, I highly recommend checking it out!! It’s an epic might-as-well-be-canon sequel that takes place five years into the future, when the whole gang (Strikers and Royal included) have to get back together to face a new threat. It’s an ensemble fic, so Yusuke&Futaba are only a small part of it; it mainly focuses on Joker as he finally starts confronting all his past trauma, but there is plenty of the Thieves being a family, and even the confidants each get their moments.
Excerpt from this part of the fic:
The Phantom Thieves gather at the back of the copter, Jose doing his best to swerve out of the way of oncoming fire as Lucy deflects the shots that he can’t dodge. Queen stares down at the Fortress; a battalion of Shadows wait for them inside, their bullets whizzing off the copter’s hull and Lucy’s shields.
She feels Joker squeeze her hand. “We’ve got this,” he says with a confident smile. “Phantom Thieves, taking hearts…”
She smiles back. “And kicking ass.”
“Get ready to jump!” Oracle shouts. “In 15… 14… 13…”
Fox grabs her shoulder. “Futaba.”
“Inari, I’m kinda busy he-”
The Thieves gasp as Fox cradles Oracle’s face, leaning down and pushing back her mask as he gives her a quick but deep kiss.
Oracle stares at him, eyes wide, body trembling as her face turns crimson. “Wh-wh-wh-wh-whuh whuh whuh…”
He smiles at her as he moves toward the open ramp. “For luck.” With that, he leaps out into the open air.
“YUSUKE!!!” the Thieves scream.
Gorokichi appears at his side as Fox plummets toward the Fortress, his sword flashing as he deflects the rain of incoming bullets.
“HEE-HO!!!” he shouts as Gorokichi reaches out toward the ground below.
A glacier rises to meet him, several Shadows encased in its ice as Fox lands on the frozen surface. He slides down toward the courtyard, weaving between gunfire.
may i offer you some doodles in this trying time of my art block
some more favorite bits from Heart of the Moors :D
[ID: Several scribbly doodles illustrating scenes from Heart of the Moors by Holly Black (A Maleficent novel)
1. Maleficent is pounding on a table and wheezing with laughter. She says, “Hahaha holy shit! I can’t believe we got Prince Phillip to eat a mouse heart.” Diaval, looking unamused, says “I can’t believe you made me give it away.”
2. Prince Phillip, haven just eaten the mouse heart and looking queasy. He says, “A d-delicacy...” Diaval in raven form says, “ey.”
3. Two panels of Queen Aurora. In the first, Count Alain’s arm is handing her a necklace made of iron, while she grimaces and says “Haahahaaaa... awesome...”
In the second panel, she is tossing the necklace into a fire. It says BURN
4. Two panels of Maleficent and Diaval in human form at the festival. In the first, Diaval is holding a mug of a foamy beverage. He says, “WHOA. Mistress, you tried this stuff?” She says, “No thanks.”
In the second panel, Maleficent is looking disturbed down at Diaval who is off panel. Diaval says, “You’re so pretty.” Maleficent replies, “How many did you have.” Diaval replies, “One?” An artist’s note indicates that this second panel did not happen, but it would have been funny.
5. Two types of couples. One half shows Maleficent and Diaval on their feet and bickering. On the other, Aurora has Phillip’s head gently pillowed on her lap. Phillip is bleeding from his side. Aurora says, “I love you.” Phillip pauses for a long time and then says, “I didn’t think I was dying that much.”
6. Diaval in human form is holding a mouse in his hands and staring at it with wide eyes. Phillip, who is still lying in Aurora’s lap, shouts, “Diaval. Hey! Give me the mouse.” Diaval says “Whaaat, you think I’d eat him?” Phillip replies, “Yes.”
Nick frowns, brows drawing together. “I can’t see it, either. It guess it makes sense that the person who eats the cake is the only-,”
“It’s gold,” Ace interjects. Nancy’s head shoots up. His voice is soft- there’s wonder saturating his words. “I thought it would be red.”
The string of fate- the line that is supposed to draw Nancy to her soulmate, her other half- is wrapped firmly around Ace’s left hand. It flickers briefly before settling into a more solid form.
Couldn’t get this lovely image from @gernades‘s Soulmates AU ficlet out of my head.
