…I’ve held back on posting Hyde since late December because obvious reasons, but AH. HE STARTS TO HAVE A STREAK OF BROWN AND HIS EYES STARTED MIXING TOO??? God, the short story is everything I neeeeeed more. But also Jekyll being even more dramatic in the background I’m dead, dying, I love.

And they don’t mention if Jekyll also changed physically in the epilogue, but I’d headcanons it goes both ways, lol. Jekyll having a bit of blond grow and his eyes also mix a bit is just also cool, but Hyde idk I was like omg he’s fucking adorable. Idk I just. Ahhhhhhh

Also a bit more detailed drawing below, I wanted to keep things a bit vague in case people still wanna pick up the physical copies to read the epilogue, but I literally drew Jekyll last night cause I meant to when I drew Hyde but never did whoops

Also I am still dying over Jasper continuously calling out Henry’s bullshit. Fucking “happily watch the world burn as long as someone patted him on the head and said it wasn’t his fault”. Queue Henry attempting to melt into the wall and scurry away. Jesus fuck I love the epilogue so much.

uh uhmmm uhhh idk what this is but here you go

[tchotchkedlc]

Confrontation confronTATION CONFRONTATION AHHHH THAT UPDATE, so I drew a thing because also with Henry and Edward mirroring each other more and more I do really just want to doodle Henry also falling into a giggle fit

Real question to actors though: how do you act overly over the top and manage to keep a straight face. Like I can barely tell a bad joke without cracking

Finished in the nick of time

I don’t particularly think they fit the characters but I think the quote fits them well enough

Art of Vampyon for @afkphorabit I made as revenge since he drew a bunch of characters from a writing project me and a few of my friends share

[societyismyoc]

this was supposed to be "quick thumbnail practice" btw

[celestetcetera]

Enough of Lanyon not knowing the lodgers’ names, I’ve decided he has everyone’s names and about 5 or so major facts about their life memorized. It’s a holdover from his gentleman upbringing (keeping notes on names, likes, etc so you can appear attentive and impress people) combined with his extremely good memory/ability to learn quickly.

Not that he ever actually exercises this, because that would be Caring, and he isn’t allowed to Care. Even if some of the facts he picks up are kind of interesting… (ooh, isn’t the ancient eldritch language Ms. Lavender studies so fascinating? It mimics some of the grammar of Latin!)

Of course, then he finds himself running the Society while Jekyll’s gone and died or whatever. The lodgers are baffled because they didn’t expect Lanyon to know their names, let alone the name of their sibling they’ve mentioned all of 4 times. Or the exact ingredients they order for their work every month.

Also, despite Lanyon’s insistence that he’s not interested in any form of rouge science, he’s unfortunately very good at understanding things that are explained to him only once or twice. So he’ll linger by a lodger working on client project, and though they just sort of rambled at him while he nodded politely and asked a few basic questions, a week later he sees them again and repeats back fairly complex ideas.

So i guess this is what i came out with.

I dont hate it! Im not satisfied though but its a start

[avenarts]

finally read the glass scientists and going insane over it! don't mind me

[realfakebrit]

Been rereading TGS. I'm not sure how intentional it is, but I've always liked Lanyon's perspective on post breaking up with Jekyll as a parallel to a lot of queer interpretations of media and shipping culture, which i feel fits with the whole queer retelling and repression theming

They objectively had a close sexual relationship, but to the outside world it was nothing but glances and looks that could be passed off as "just friends".

Ambiguity defaults to heterosexuality, you're crazy for thinking otherwise.
