I was going to draw something simple but I go this idea and had to draw it! I wanted to color it but I’m also super tired and have a headache so I didn’t *flops*

I also came up with a sad idea, like angsssttt that kind of dealt with these two so I gave myself fluff to balance it out...I also have and Ask Nasya I need to line but...bed...xD

I ended up just doodling OCs while not watching anything ahah (okay I did have the Moana menu up in the background...but I never hit play xD)

Here are some of my bbys, mainly Kanter and Kayla because I love them a lot! But I also have their kids at the bottom because I love them too! (though I’m still trying to figure out Jalen’s hairstyle....pfft xD)

I decided to just do one picture because I’m lazy and I don’t love how all of these turned out (though I do like that top left one hehehe)

Just some Kanter and Kayla sketches from the past month or so? I drew the top four tonight, I was kind of exploring their relationship from the beginning because it didn’t start off so great haha...and I also doodled them as kids/teens cause why not? Also, I think I’m starting to get the hang of drawing Kayla, which is always nice!  

I posted that finger gun picture on my art blog but it makes me laugh so I thought I’d share it here too. And I may or may not have referenced that rebelcaptain scene for the bottom left picture because....reasons...xD

Two pictures on one day?!? I felt like drawing tonight, plus I loved the sketch of this so much that I just had to finish it. I used this ask meme for the pose (I may have kind of outlined it a lot, which is why it looks more like the post them my other attempts at poses...but I love how it turned out so *shrugs*)

Kanter and Kayla may be one of my favorite OC ships...they are just precious (and Kayla is like a beam of happiness in his hard life, though they go through some feels together as well cause I’m mean to my characters apparently...xD)

Best Day of Her Life

So, I wrote angst last night...and tonight I wrote fluff! Lots of fluffy fluff! Oh my gosh, this was really fun to write though. And while writing this it is confirmed that Kanter is the best brother™ and also so awkward when it comes to his sister trying to hook him up...hehe...I love my dork xD (Also, I’ll probably write some non-AU Rebels stuff again soon...especially with the new episode tomorrow...but we shall see!)

Okay, so this is like...three/four little drabbles of Kotep’s wedding day. I had lots of happy feels while writing this...I hope I wrote Kotep and Arlan okay xD

Fic below the cut:

Kanter never thought this day would come. Growing up, marriage was the last thing he thought of. And after joining the rebellion it seemed even further from his scope of sight. Not to mention that he never thought anyone would ever get his approval to marry his sister. And yet Arlan had proven himself. He loved Kotep and she loved him back. The only reason Kanter wouldn’t be for it was because seeing his little sister all grown up seemed too unreal. And in a way, she would never stop being that little twelve-year-old he had been put in charge of. But she wasn’t a child anymore. She was grown up and he had to let her live her own life, without him trying to protect her every second of the day, though he doubted he would ever stop worrying about her. Maybe that’s why he had to check in on her one more time before the wedding.

What he hadn’t been expecting was how beautiful she looked. Sure, he always knew Ko was pretty, but she never dressed it up too much. His eyebrows must have shot up in surprise, because she started laughing when she saw him.

“Yes, I do wear dresses occasionally,” Kotep said, sticking out her tongue playfully.

A chuckle escaped Kanter’s mouth and he shook his head in amusement. “I do seem to recall you dressing up on occasion…and then there were the times you tried to make me dress up too.”

“Oh you loved it,” she said, a teasing smile on her face. “That red dress would’ve looked great on you.”

“Yeah, and I’m sure mom would’ve loved it if I had put it on and torn it.”

Kotep laughed, but the humor in her eyes faded as she glanced down and stroked her dress. “I wish she was here...”

“Hey,” Kanter said softly, taking a few steps forward and grabbed her hands in his. “You remember what her and dad always talked about. How people are never really gone.”

“You never believed that though…” Ko said, looking up at him, tearing brimming in her eyes.

Kanter wrapped his arms around her and she returned the hug. “Just because I never believed it doesn’t mean it’s not true, Ko. And for what it’s worth, I think mom and dad would be happy for you, and proud of who you’ve become.”

Kotep leaned out of the hug and looked up at him for a moment before her eyes fixed on the floor. “You really think so?”

“I know I am,” Kanter said.

Her gaze flicked up again and she smiled. “Well, I guess I’m proud of you too,” she teased.

“Oh, you guess?” Kanter said, raising his eye brow.

She laughed and then hugged him again. Her grip tightened and after a few seconds he heard her whisper. “Thank you, for everything.”

Kanter hugged her a little tighter. “Anytime, Ko, anytime…”

Walking into the groom’s room, Kanter closed the door and looked up to see Arlan fiddling with a tie.

“Need some help there?” Kanter asked, walking over and taking the tie from Arlan. He was never good with formal wear, but he had some experience with it. He still remembered the day when he had gone to a ceremony at the academy and his dad had made sure he knew how to do his tie and look presentable. As he knotted Arlan’s tie he could still hear Caleb’s instructions in his mind, guiding each step.

“Ah, thanks, I know how to do this stuff but I just couldn’t get it right and-” Arlan rubbed the back of his head, messing up his hair in the process.

Kanter grabbed his hand and pulled it away. “Don’t go messing up your hair too,” he said rolling his eyes in amusement.

Straightening up, Arlan tried to flatted his hair some before fiddling with his suit, his hands didn’t seem to remember how to stay still.

Seeing the display of nerves, Kanter let out a breath then gently grabbed Arlan by his shoulders. “Deep breaths. It’s okay to be nervous, but you need to try to relax a little, okay?”

Arlan bit his lip and looked at the ground, he took a few deep breaths then spoke in a quiet mumble that was probably meant to only be heard by him. “Am I really ready for this?”

“Yes, you are,” Kanter said. “Look, today is just about you and Kotep. And I know you love her and care for her, I wouldn’t be letting this wedding happen if I didn’t know that. Anything you are worried about right now, that’s just the nerves, okay?”

Taking a deep breath, Arlan nodded, then looked up at Kanter, a smile forming on his mouth. “Thanks, Kanter.”

A smile tugged at the corner of Kanter’s mouth and he nodded. “That’s what brothers are for, now, let’s finish getting ready.” 

 When the music started playing, Kanter cast a glance at his sister, her eyes seemed transfixed on a potted plant in the corner of the room.

“Remember to breath,” he said as he held out his arm for her to hold.

She snapped out of her daze and laughed, but it was forced.

“Ko, relax. It’s okay to be nervous. Arlan is nervous too. Just don’t let that stop you from enjoying every little bit of today, okay?” Kanter said, readjusting a bobby pin in her hair as he spoke.

Kotep smiled and nodded before grabbing his arm gently. Their cue sounded and they walked forward.

The service was short and sweet and the reception was small, but it was just right for Kotep and Arlan. Kanter sat off to the side, watching as his sister danced to almost every song, a small smile tugging at his mouth. He had done his bit, now he was just watching, making sure everything ran as it should, and making sure his sister had the best reception she could have. So when she walked over to him, he quickly stood up.

“Everything okay?” he asked quickly, looking around to make sure everything was running smoothly.

“Yes, but I think you need to join in on the festivities more,” Kotep said, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Kanter narrowed his eyes. “What are you planning?”

“Nothing, I just thought you might like to dance. Arlan already got you the perfect partner,” Kotep said, a teasing grin growing on her face.

Turning around, Kanter saw Arlan leading a familiar face towards him. Her hair was braided at the top, while the rest of it fell across her shoulders. She wore a simple pastel orange dress with white highlights. Kayla.

“Oh no, no, you know I don’t dance,” Kanter said, taking a step back as the room suddenly started feeling warmer.

“You dance plenty,” Kotep said, then grabbed his arm and pulled him along until he was standing next to Arlan and Kayla.

“Here you go Kayla, got you someone to dance with,” Kotep said, her mischievous grin still lighting up her face. “Have fun you two!”

“Ko!” Kanter called out, but her and Arlan had already rushed off and were dancing.

Kayla’s laugh reminded him he wasn’t alone. Taking a breath, Kanter tried to compose himself. He had gone on plenty of missions with Kayla before, he didn’t need to be awkward around her. It was just a dance, right?

“Sisters,” he said, rolling his eyes, hoping to cover up his nerves. Nerves he shouldn’t have. Kayla was his friend, his partner, nothing more.

“Yeah…” Kayla said, her voice lowered some and her gaze had fixed on the floor.

“Oh crap, I…I’m sorry I forgot,” Kanter said, mentally kicking himself for his fumble. Kayla never liked talking about her sister, he knew she still regretted not bringing her with her when she left the Empire to join the Rebellion.

She gave him a halfhearted smile. “It’s fine, don’t worry about it.”

“Dance you two!”

Kanter winced at Kotep’s voice, yelling over the music so everyone could hear her. “Umm, I guess we should dance?”

“Kotep probably won’t stop yelling until we do,” Kayla said, a real smile growing on her face as she grabbed his hand and lead him onto the dance floor. “You do know how to dance, right?”

“I know…a few steps,” Kanter said, trying to recall all that he had learned about dancing. Aside from the dance he had learned for the wedding – one Kotep had taught him – he only knew a few steps.

“Here, just follow my lead,” Kayla said, taking a few steps, making a small box with her feet.

Kanter glanced down and watched as she repeated the steps. He had seen the dance before, and while he still didn’t feel very confident, he managed to repeat it, following her example. The one good thing that came of probably looking like a fool who didn’t know what he was doing was the fact that focusing on the dance distracted him from that fact that he was dancing with Kayla. It wasn’t like he wanted to feel flustered around her. He knew nothing would ever come from it. She was his friend, that was it, that was the way it would always be, the way it had to be. Because in war, relationships were a liability. Kotep was his exception. Besides, Kayla saw him as a brother, a mentor. That was it. But that still didn’t stop him from watching her walk off after their dance, and wondering what might happen if he lived in a world without war.

(For the ship ask) Kanter and Kayla uwu

Shops for groceries

Both, Kanter tends to just get what they need but Kayla likes to get new things to try out (which results in Kanter having to come up with new recipes...usually they turn out not that great but he tries xD)

Kills the spiders

Kanter, he doesn’t mind them and if he had it his way he’d just let them do their thing, but if someone else is scared of them he will kill them (headcanon that Jalen likes to pick them up and mess with them and it kind of creeps Kanter out because killing them is one thing but like picking them up is just...nope! xD) Kayla can also kill them if they are small enough, but if they are bigger than her thumb she gets Kanter.

Comes home drunk at 3am

Neither, one time Kanter got drunk when it was still just him and Kotep and it kind of resulted in him being a little reckless/not as caring as usual and when he realized it the next day he refused to ever drink alcohol again. Kayla used to have a little every now and again, but after marrying Kanter she stopped as well. 

Makes breakfast

Kanter, he usually gets up first (bby plz sleep more...) and he’s the better cook (he learned how to cook for him and Ko, he’s not the best but he’s better than Kayla who like...fails at cooking...she gets a little better but Kanter is still better xD)

Remembers to feed the fish

Kayla, Kanter gets caught up in work and other things, he’s the kind of person who forgets to eat sometimes because he focuses in on something and just keeps working at it until something interrupts him.

Decorates the apartment

Kayla. Kanter’s style is like...just whatever works and is the cheapest option. The only way there was any style when he was younger would be thanks to Kotep haha xD

Initiates duets

Neither, Kanter only sings on rare occasions and Kayla cannot sing at all, like she refuses to sing. But sometimes Kayla will ask Kanter to sing for her and he will (also he totally sings while they dance sometimes, like he’s singing the song to her because I like fluff like that <3)

Falls asleep first

Kayla for sure, there are nights when she goes to bed hours before him, but then there are nights where she makes him go to bed at the same times  because “Kanter you need sleep!”
