Jay's Terrible Day

I got to commission the incredible @daggertongue for a little bit of fresh ME2 existential dread, and he fuckin killed it. Thank you, Levi, for bringing this idea to life better then I ever imagined it. Ya left me an incoherent mess for a good day or two 😂

It's taken me a few days to post it, but that's because it inspired the most writing I've done in a couple months. Including a snippet below 👀

It's not until he can breathe through his nose again that he chances loosening his grip, not until he's reasonably sure he can raise his hand to examine the skin without finding himself mirrorless in the end that he touches his cheek. Fingertips join his gaze in tracing the fissures around an eye, disappearing down his sideburn to emerge over the length of his jaw. Each literal crack in his careful facade stings with direct contact, but it's strangely comforting in how uncomfortable it is – confirmation that he can feel it as he'd expected.

A small victory.

He turns his head to examine the other side closely and locks on to a jagged glowing line through a familiar place in his brow. Just like Kasumi had said. Cracks jut out over his cheekbone, down this side of his jaw, and a shaking sigh is released once he's finished the fucked-up little game of connect-the-dots. 

The sigh floats out from between his lips, and fuck, but he knows he's not seeing things.

There's a glow coming from inside, too.

One consistency, even if the nerve damage and scarring aren't quite the same, is the slight shake of his left hand as he opens his mouth wide for a finger to pull his lip up and away. The light is dull but the color distinct, and he lifts his tongue to find another bright rift in the flesh below. Eyes widen and he loses track of blinking while he stares it down. The implications of all the faults he could find if he looked closely enough hitting him then.

One small mercy comes from looking himself in the eye, finding that the little rings of red-orange outlining his usual brown – the last things he'd noticed weeks ago before the mirror splintered through his reflection – were gone.

He'll never doubt Chakwas again.

When I was sixteen, my senses fooled me Thought gasoline was on my clothes I knew that something Would always rule me I knew the scent was mine alone

I feel like the holidays came early with this amazing commission of Xiomara Shepard from @daggertongue!! Just. Look at her. Revel alongside me. She looks exactly as she does in my mind, charming and unhinged and a little too proud about it. I will be staring at this indefinitely and I have a feeling it will help with the writing block 👀

Peeker would probably be fascinated by Copperhead tbh, like, in a "Wow both of our faces are pretty scarred up lol, cool" way

while Copperhead loves the attention, this is not the sort of attention he thought he would end up getting from Peeker lol

🎭 and 🌅 for Sasha!

🎭 - Does your OC show different sides of themselves to different people?

Sasha’s a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to this sort of thing. He’s a people person first a foremost, very confident with his words and knows what to say. But he’s also very impatient and brash. He’s capable of both sweettalking the Fiends into a deal with compliments and challenges, but also getting under Karl’s skin enough to make him break his own mask.

 So I think yes, he’s a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Local drug dealer, official diplomat, son of the dye maker, known troublemaker, Regis’ student. He’s pretty good at keeping up those appearances, but he’s also a compulsive liar.

🌅 - What is your OCs favourite time of day? Are they a morning person or a night owl?

The name Sasha had before choosing the name “Sasha” when he became an adult was actually Sunset! So that's his favourite time of day! he used to watch it with his mother and when she went blind he’d describe it to her

And he is absolutely a night owl, he hates waking up early and hated it when he had to wake up at dawn while being mentored by Regis. Sasha’d much rather stay up late, skulking around the desert or drinking with his bros

If you could only watch one movie or show for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

levi!!!! hi, honey! <3 thank you for asking!!

this is haaarrrddd! ok, so the show would have to have a number of things if i were to watch it for the rest of my life.

1. characters i love 2. a compelling story 3. some humor once in a while to break the tension 4. a decent length

of course the first things i was thinking about were tlou and narcos, but they're sort of short... so i sat here for a minute and thought about it for a while and i came up with king of the hill, frasier, and golden girls lmao

here me out tho! they all have great characters, are pretty long with multiple seasons, fucking hilarious, and have their serious/compelling moments.

so it's sort of hard to narrow down. ultimately, i may end up picking golden girls because i've literally been watching reruns of it my entire fucking life and it's never gotten old, so.

yeah. golden girls lol

ask me anything! ♥
