Goldengraves + Graves

Apollo would never be caught dead doing Necromancy- he has a reputation to uphold!

Also these doodles aren’t the cleanest or best…but I like them anyway, so away they go

Doing a seperate post for my gayass poofy pants--

THEY ARRIVED AND I LOVE THEM THEY'RE SO SILLY

The colours are a little strong considering I was aiming for trans flag colours, but I'm hoping washes and use will like fade it a little to be more suited!

Anyways less thirst trappy pics have some poor quality stills from them in use

I’m writing a fic about fencing and ik ur a fencer so is there anything i absolutely need to know when writing fight scenes?

They are SHORT! In real life, inexperienced fencers tire after 2 mins and that’s WITH resets (aka after someone has been hit, we return to our corners before the next exchange begins as deemed by judges saying ‘Readyyyyy, Fence!’

My best friend who’s much better than me lasts 8 minutes including resets, but there’s are friendly fights where no one is actually hurt.

A real fight? You wouldn’t announce that you’ve gotten hit in the hand and then return to your corners. You’d be hit and start bleeding and not be able to fight anymore beyond a quick after blow (after blow is when you get hit and you hit your opponent with the last second before you’d be declared the loser of that exchange).

TLDR. Spars are short because we tire. Real fights are short because you HAVE gotten hit. Normal humans cannot take hits and cuts. Paper cuts hurt us bad enough, you’re done with usually one hit in real life. Especially from a sword!

Goldengraves backlog doodles 🗣️

Noting earth shattering- these have been in the chamber to post. The sillies bring me so much joy.

but I can’t help but keep wondering if Graves is even attainable for Apollo. He’s an Ixian Prince- and Ixian Prince of the independent nation of North Ixia that’s fighting against humanity. To me, there’s a layer of question regarding how his father would view this. Would Graves even be an option for him, seeing as how she’s a human? Is it the kind of thing his father would disapprove of?

It’s been a lore question that’s been on my mind. I’d like to learn more about North Ixia’s lore in general, and Apollo seems like a very rule abiding and by the books guy. I don’t even know what choice he’d make then, seeing the options.
