Oh oh oh, I love this headcanon and am behind it completely! (You wouldn’t have any more you’d be willing to share, would you?)

If this is about the headcanon re: Fafnir’s facial expressions I wrote in the tags then, I might have more In visual form but it depends if I have the energy to draw that (I want to!!!)

A Horst prompt for you: something with cake, possibly during his childhood? Or perhaps after the whole vampirism incident, when they're no longer edible or taste like ash or however one chooses to interpret a vampire's relationship with food.

Horst Cabal, the vampire, looked at a small squashed cake.  It was a cream-filled vanilla article from one of the concession stands.  He’d been escorting a lady, and it seemed more companionable to get one for each of them.  She’d eaten hers, and he’d taken a few mouthfuls from her behind the ghost train, and  then she’d suddenly felt tired.  He’d escorted her back to the gates.  She was safer away from all this.

The carnival was strange.  He sat on the roof of the train and watched it from a distance.  The May night was cool, but it didn’t bother him.  It was a revelation to be out of the tomb, to talk to real people and feel the air on his face, but the workers smelled of brimstone and sulphur: the zombies of rot.  The only beating heart on the train was his brother’s.  He could hear it now, thudding sullenly in the office.

Horst had blood, at least, but it was a pleasure that blotted out everything else, and that worried him.  He distracted himself with the work of the carnival.  He’d made a promise - to Johannes, but still.  It kept him from thinking about blood all day.  He watched the crowds mill through the carnival from his perch, temporarily above it all. He should be down there, welcoming people, watching the hell-things.  

He broke off a corner of the cake, put it in his mouth.  He spat it out.  Oh!  It was like eating sand soaked in perfume; repulsive.  He moved to throw the cake away, but he stopped; he was reluctant.  He couldn’t eat it, but he still wanted it.  What was he going to do, keep the thing in his pocket?  He pushed it off the edge of the train.  He heard it hit the ground.  It wasn’t important.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE your Ides piece! To bits! The colours, the details, the sheer emotion coming from so many of these. And the scarf from A Bad Night, I am deceased. Did you have specific scenes in mind for all of these?

thanks so much omg i’m so glad that y’all liked it ;; and yes, i did! one panel for each story, y’know. for some i picked more obscure scenes rather than the central ones (like the scarf in a bad night!), or things bunny only mentions slightly (like he and raffles learning to ride bicycles in ham common.....), but like, these stories are so beautiful there are just SO MANY THINGS and wonderful little details and intense emotions i die

Your EO art makes me prodigiously happy, particularly all those gorgeous pictures of your OTP, but -especially- Flavio. Even the way you render his hair looks delightful (and fluffy)! Thank you for such lovely artwork!

Aww thank you, that makes me happy to know too! I render Flavio’s hair like it’s some cotton candy so I’m glad the effort gets through~

ALL THESE TAGS ARE MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. The radio series is -sublime-, the voices are perfect, the acting is brilliant, but WHAT A WASTE... That said, I will forgive them because No Sinecure and The Last Word expertly broke my heart. The way Raffles says "Bunny... is my friend," hurts in the best way.

OK NO i re-listened to The Last Word last night after like, one whole year of pretending it doesn’t exist, and i Swear i’ll never listen to it again. I CAN’T HANDLE IT. also, how dare the lady who introduces the episode say “wracked and wretched with grief, bunny continues his life on autopilot” ??? SHE SAYS IT WITH A SMILE ??????

BUT, BBC RADIO RAFFLES IS HONESTLY MY SAVING GRACE ; _ ; No Sinecure is so good but also, The Rest Cure, An Old Flame, The Raffles Relics, like.............bursts into tears

oh gosh HOW DID I FORGET, YOU'RE RIGHT. Maybe the "sad they omitted it" bit I was thinking of was in A Trap to Catch a Cracksman: "I had never seen Raffles more interested and impressed; but at this point his smile altered, his eyes softened, and I found my hand in his." I knew the radio version left out at least one of my favourite "look how much he cares" moments.

I KNOW!!!! I KNOW, their version of A Trap is SO DISAPPOINTING like i’m actually so frustrated about it, we could have had it all,

At first I was sad the radio didn't have the "apotheosis of Bunny" line but then I realised THIS IS FAR CUTER

actually it does have the apotheosis of Bunny line (thank god!!!!) though it’s less important than in the story i suppose,,, but, exactly, the Bunny Manders Relics makes up for it A THOUSAND TIMES AND MORE !!!! the one Important line they failed to include in that episode is the “greatest of the pre-Raffleites” pun HONESTLY
