From the unpopular asks game!

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

Hope you're doing okay Took!

Hey friend!! Thanks for the ask <3 I'm doing alright - stressed but I'm alive!

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

About to get messy but... gahan. I know, I know, I've written a ton of it. But I actually don't really ship it? I don't think it would work out in the long run and they're infinitely more fun to stick in an AU blender than to write about in canon/post-canon.

Some extra art of Shade and her cubs; Claw and Fang and their since dispersed brother Tusk (though he goes by a different name now)

[projectpangea]

A beautiful married couple (G7 and G10 expression meme request)

Some more PangeaQuest concept art, working on how I want to stylize the backgrounds since I wasn't totally vibing with the way the line less style looked in some of my previous pieces. So I tried out a very thin and loose linework and I kind of dig it!

I've had this WIP sitting around since I originally conceived of this story around a year ago so it's nice to actually get it finished!

Another extra doodle; featuring Claw, Fang and Saber's initial meeting of Pyre. Pyre is/will be the sire of Fang's two cubs, Snap and Pounce, though he lives somewhere far away by the time they're born.

He's also based on an older lion character from the same headworld Claw and Fang originated from, REALLY happy with how he came out His older design featured under the cut;

Some visual design concepts I was hammering this past week in between writing out the first few Issues! From Left to Right you have; Saber (our protagonist), his parents Snow and Claw, his Grandmother Shade, Aunt Fang and cousins Snap and Pounce Claw and Fang's designs are actually lifted from some longterm characters I had for some aimless headworld projects that I'm still attached to. Frankly a lot of the Smilodon characters are similar in origin. The only design I'm not super happy with is Shade's, but we'll see as I play around with it if I need to alter her coloration a tad to be a bit warmer.

Here's more detailed looks at the individual character designs on their own under the cut;

And the second one of these I got!! Thanks friend! <3

false illusions and truthful liars

Jongwoo is nervous. No, scratch that—Jongwoo would rather be literally anywhere than sitting in the room he’s in, a coffee in hand and silent save for when someone bows and introduces themselves and he returns it with a quick bow. He doesn’t remove the mask from his face, just watches.

until it doesn't hurt

Essek had been declared dead three days when the grief finally became a wave she could not surpass. The letter sat, threatening, on the ornate desk in her study, the words read again and again, as though they would say something different the next time her eyes fell on it.

A Harmless Appetite

There’s something different about the way praise from Sihyuk speaks to Namjoon. Praise from Sungdeuk and the other producers makes Namjoon feel good, proud of himself for the work he’s put in, proud of the group for putting in the work to get the praise.  But when Sihyuk pats his shoulder and gives him a warm smile and a, “Good job, Namjoon-ah,” a warmth spreads through his body and he knows he flushes and he can’t keep the smile from his face. 

and soon we will fly (like birds in the night)

She is something untethered and floating. Something mindless and aimless, separated and together all at once, in reality and unreality. Identity and body knit together slowly and swiftly all at once, as quick as the rising sun and the setting moon, as the whisper of wind through the forest she once called home. Kalina. She is Kalina.

before, after, and the void in between

Monotonous same is what comes each and every day. Gaon gets lost in the rhythm of it, of committee meetings and press conferences, of appointments that only lead to disappointments, and the same. Day in, day out, days pass and Gaon knows he’s caught in the loop of everything being the same. Each step forward is followed by six or seven taken back, and he can only fight for justice alongside the clearing of Yohan’s name for so long before people begin to wonder why, exactly, Kim Gaon so desperately defends Kang Yohan.
