SOOO... I'M REALISING APPARENTLY I NEVER POSTED THESE? that's a crime that needs fixing, so here they are

[neverthebabysitter]

I love Steve has bad parents as much as the next person AND i eat that shit up in every fic i read, but, but– i saw a tiktok with those "what creature is watching you depending on your month" slideshows, so now i have the image of Steve having some shadow parents stuck in my head.

Therefore, now i had to add that to him having bad human parents but at the same time some shy, protective and loving shadow parents.

He doesn’t consider the Harringtons his parents anymore; excuse me, his parents are those shadows that seem to stare at your soul with their bright, pure white eyes and none existent characteristic features apart from their silhouettes. Thank you very much.

He loves them.

So every time someone asks Steve about his parents, he has to make mental gymnastics about if it's OK to talk about the shadow ones or if it's a situation where he has to lie through his teeth about the biological ones.

Steve is just happy to have someone who cares about him and goes to see his games and recitals (because you can pray Steve plays the piano away over my cold death hands) even when no one apart from him (and a few unlucky ones– Eddie, i'm looking at you) notice them.

I wonder how that might work; the party must have their own theories about Steve's parents; none of them it's about them being literal shadow creatures/ entities, though.

I think most of them think they are neglectful; no, they’re not; you just can’t see them because they don't want Steve's friends to freak out.

After the fight with Billy, Steve needs someone to wake him up and take care of him for a bit; he said his parents would do it, but every time someone goes to check on him, he's alone. And Hopper gets suspicious because he doesn’t remember the last time he saw the Harringtons.

Also, Billy starts having so much bad luck and can not stop seeing these shadow figures everywhere; it's probably just his imagination and a bunch of coincidences.

Why is Steve so calm about monsters? It has nothing to do with his parents being literal shadow creatures, ofc. And if in the middle of fighting demodogs he got some help, nobody noticed it.

I just– imagine the party's reaction when they found out? Gold.

Robin is the first to meet them, ofc, following the whole party and then Eddie realizing that "THEY WERE YOUR PARENTS????" When he processed enough the fact that yes, he wasn't seeing things in the corner of every basketball game he went to stare at Steve.

Artist's notes and progress:

Wolf loves bugs, even has a special interest in them. Despite all of this, moths are disgusting to him. Something about the fuzziness and chirps freak him out.

The reality is that Wolf is terrified of change, things out of his control, leaving oneself vulnerable in relationship with others. An odd thing considering his affinity to life magic and values rooted in community. The subconscious mind, as revealed by one's shadow, is a interesting place and at times, hard to face.

Through this relationship, it matters so much that the Young Wizard faces themselves to draw power from their shadow.

My first post on this tumblr. Hi everyone. You know me as the one running the @darkmagenugget account for the last few years. And if you followed for our system, Night now runs that one. But if you want me specifically, I made myself a side account.

I'm Dusk Celeste. (She?/They?/It.) (Usally it/its) Previous host of the DarkMage Nugget System, that role now goes to Night. To which I know a few people want to know why that switch happened in the first place.

Long story short, various traumas have been getting in the way of us doing anything and Night being the new host fixes most of that. But I hit a point where I just couldn't be the main front anymore. That said, I am still around and will continue to be around, just not as often, and do still intend to work on my comic. I do recommend giving Night's streams a chance though, as Night's streams have been far more entertaining while still being cozy. And as well, look forward to more getting posted here as I work on more things. ^-^

Now I get to be just a creature. ^-^

So I guess it is nonbinary people's day... and I'm like... OH HEY! DAS ME! I'M NONBINARY.

I am Dusk. A shapeshifter with many forms. Each one I treat as a different form of gender expression that goes away from the gender binary and more so the forms ARE my gender. Some even come with different pronoun sets.

I am genderfluid and nonbinary. As well, many of my system also fall into the nonbinary category in their own ways. Aqua, Reaper, Mira, Light, Dark, Star, Nova, Nero, and Shade. All of them fall into the nonbinary category.

So, happy non-binary people's day from this creature of many forms!
