Since you’re trying to get to know everyone, you eventually notice that there’s one troll you’re not sure you actually know at all? You know who the Zahhaks are, Equius is hilarious and so much fun to fluster, and Horuss is right there, the same not-quite-a-duplicate intergenerational parallel like all the game-playing trolls have. But yeah, Horuss is by far the person you’ve talked to least since coming to the new universe. It’s kinda weird, because even Equius will have nice long conversations with you if you poke him the right way, but Horuss only responds to your messages with one or two lines, and then just… lets the conversations die. Every time. That’s… fine, you know? If that’s just how he rolls? But once you notice, you start paying him way more attention irl, and it’s really weird. Because he’s there, like, all the time, at all the get-togethers and parties and dinners, only you’d never notice if you weren’t looking for him.

Just a quick sketch! But I’ve had a tab open with that ‘who in your otp would wear a 'sex machine’ shirt, and this is an otp where I think that’s one, an easy answer, and two, very in-character.

Not quite Equius, but other Zahhaks are fair game for the night, and it’s been way too long since I drew this ship! And thighs, it’s been way too long since I drew some gorgeous well-muscled thighs in indulgently tight pants.

Horuss/Equius and Dirk working in the workshop developing ~necessities~ (and it’s either actual needs like work shoes or sexy things your pick); Horuss & Roxy being nerds however which way

OH MAN SO MUCH YES to Roxy and Horuss being nerds together!! I may say that I ship roxuss super hard, but my real otp is roxy/horuss/art. Always and forever. No idea how this fits into actual Centaurstuck, but since Horuss basically lives life as a well-muscled partial hoofbeast, I thought it might be funny to flip things around to him being fascinated by plain human anatomy! Drawing your centaur girlfriend as a human bodybuilder is totally a normal date guys, don’t worry about it (and please don’t ever stop). Centaurstuck is the creation of the lovely everlind and thepioden, who are endlessly patient as I flail around making ridiculous art of their fantastic AU! If you haven’t read Centaurstuck yet, you should seriously go check it out!

I feel like, at least at first, Horuss would need serious aftercare after any sex or intimacy, not just things with a bdsm dynamic. He seems like he’d drop super hard, at least until he got more comfortable and secure in the relationship. Centaurstuck belongs to thepioden and everlind, and as you may have heard me say before, you should really go check it out!

Tomorrow’s a bit hectic, and I’m not positive I’ll get the chance to draw centaurs, so hey, why not get a head start on it? I was thinking about that picture of John crushing Karkat, and I was wondering which cervitaurs might be STRONG enough to handle the weight of their equitaur partners, and oops I’ve rubbed my crackship all over your AU again. But they’re too cute and I can’t resist! Centaurstuck belongs to everlind and thepioden, and as always, it’s a fantastic AU and you should definitely give it a look!

Remember Fill My Heart With Emptiness? I'm absolutely not done with this ship. I am the furthest thing from being done with this ship. I have more little sexy one-shots planned in the same setting, but right now I'm paralyzed by choice because there are too many interesting ideas I could explore. And in the meantime, art is happening! I think this is maybe... the second time I've drawn art meant to go with one of my own stories? This is just a piece of cuteness, but I want to draw some scenes from the actual fic soon, now that I feel like I've got Horuss and Roxy into my fingers.

Fun facts: the first giftstuck thing I ever did last year was Horuss being sexy, then I barely touched him for a year, then for this year's giftstuck the first thing I did was write Horuss being sexy, and I am disproportionately pleased with this almost-symmetry of events.
