Idk the doodles got outta hand

Honestly I wish I had a partner system but I struggle to maintain contact unless the other helps. Plus I’d feel stressed trying to balance a relationship with multiple alters. I’d feel so nervous that some alters would dislike me. Plus dating online is dang near impossible, idk how I’d even find a partner system.

Seven Sentence Sunday

Getting the jump on it today because I'm working on a new wildflower installment (A Volt/Nib spicy installment, tastefully titled Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)) because I finished the Eddie/Nib one (Brown Chicken Brown Cow)

This snippet isn't spicy but it's just. So perfect, so good 🥴

Something about that — the casualness with which he carried himself after the most nerve-wracking eight seconds of Nib's life — it was hot. They couldn't deny themself, both of them were. Age had made Eddie hotter to them than he had been six years ago, fine lines around his eyes that crinkled in a hidden smile when he caught sight of them when they stopped by Tipsy after a long day at the ranch. His hands, still so sure as he poured drinks for patrons, rough and strong in their hand now. The soft dusting of grey in his hair and stubbly beard, not a lot yet — I ain't that old, darlin', they could hear it in their head — but the hint of it was nice to see. Volt was something else, aristocratic upbringing that was obvious in the way he carried himself, the flirtatious cowboy stereotype that he played up. The way it all fell away the one time someone had made some snide comment about Eddie's disability, a swift right hook knocking the jerk's head back on his shoulders before Eddie had tugged on Volt's shoulder, his face saying it all without a single spoken word; that this fucker ain't worth it. Volt had relented, looking down at the guy with a sneer, a put together glance down at the guy as he lay on the floor of Tipsy, with nigh a hand held down to help him up.

I needed Volt to punch a guy, a small tip of my hat to blue!Volt in canon, but also the following image is just. Too perfect.

(Also! I've been working on background for them and such and thus, ages, and in this snippet, Nib's 28, Eddie is 44, and Volt is 39)

really playing around with the age gaps a bit here, I'm indulging

(Tagging @blackbirdofasgard since I couldn't wait today, I needed to share this with y'all 💙)

[vefantur]

obsessed with the way that gothic horror is about horror but never directly. it’s not horrific because there’s a haunted house and that’s scary, it’s horrific because the monster inside isn’t a monster, it’s your grief, your loss, your pride, your desire, your fear. the monster skulking in the shadows, the darkness at the edge of the woods, the haunted house that is too broken to be a home—those are manifestations of events that grabbed onto the fabric of time in a fit of abject horror and clamped down so tightly that they couldn’t keep moving forward toward resolution and eventual dissipation like they were supposed to. it’s all about the scared child and the mourning mother and the hunger in your gut and the little emptiness in your chest at the end of the day. those things are all little horrors but you can’t approach them directly to understand them, so gothic horror gives us these little metaphors and says “here play with these for a while and see what you find.” and all of those metaphors need someone to go back to childhood to release them. you have to care, and be curious and clever, and look for a way to heal the hurt. you have to be so achingly human to survive in gothic horror
