The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️
What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:
I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!
There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!
a few days ago my brain was so tired and sleepy but my brain was also nonstop yapping about idiot professors scarian au with no serious plot, just them slowly falling in love amidst hectic schedules and piles of tests to grade. and thesis. sooooo self indulgent and intense rambling under the cut
(warning: IT ENDED UP BEING SO LONG LOL. im not joking its very long. and stupid. very very stupid. this was not beta read and not formatted well and there are typos. this is a peek to my crazy dark mind ..... )
i cant draw much atm but if i could i really would like to start an au with no real plot, just scenes i could think of
i really love aus where both or either of grian and scar are professors... (i love you ddvau and 'like you a latte' fic... i care you)
> i keep thinking of GRIAN as a professor who teaches biology or premed subjects (i was a medical biology major, and ever since i found out irl grian also majored in biology i kept associating him with it). i imagine he teaches at a uni for human anatomy, sometimes devt. biology, or maybe even genetics, but he also has to drive to a different uni because his PHD thesis advisor is there...
he didn't pursue medschool (he never felt like it i guess) but he does aim to get a doctorate. hes the type of person who did nothing but study in highschool and never dated and when he finally graduated from his bachelor's hes like "ok what now... time for masters??" (totally not talking from experience)
he didnt have any other grand goal but i wanna think he wanted to be a teacher at some point... initially he wanted to be a preschool teacher because hes the "big brother" of younger kids in his neighborhood, but as he took a break before his phd to get his teaching license he realized maybe hes too jaded to be a preschool teacher... so he just taught uni students for almost 9 years
his weekday routine is composed of: grabbing breakfast > driving to work > skimming thru his schedule/what he needs to do a lecture on > do all his lecture and lab classes > work on his thesis > drive to another university to meet advisor > pray to the universe he actually finds his advisor > do more work at a nearby cafe > drive 3 hours home >sleep and rinse and repeat. godbless this poor man
> i used to think maybe SCAR could be an arts professor, but civil engineering really suits him. (and im also not familiar with arts subjects). i really like the idea of him being a civil engineer and maybe he specialized in transportation engineering
im thinking he used to work as an engineer for a few (big) companies before ren (his old college roommate) called him to catch up, and ren asked if maybe he wanted to give teaching a try. he ruminated on it for a while, and after a year (and a traumatic workplace accident) he finally quit his job. hes been teaching civil engineering subjects for about 11 years.
still want him to be artistically inclined, so for funsies i want him to be a webcomic author, and his comic is about a handsome hero named "hotguy" —who is totally not his self insert—endlessly chasing after a villain—who he may or may not have based on a hopeless highschool crush he had—a british man who wears a chicken head mask named "poultry man". he thought of the names after reading through about 30 thesis proposals, and his comic is kinda popular now, so its too late to change the names. it's not a big deal though, because it's more of a comedy than a serious superhero story. he started this idea on a fastfood tissue he doodled on.
> SCAR AND GRIAN bumped into each other at the university scar works at—since scar is close to cub, who is from the natural sciences faculty, he often hangs out in their office just to talk and eat lunch with cub. scar was waiting for cub to arrive when grian walked into the room looking for a senior professor, a thick pile of papers in his arms.
scar is pretty familiar with the natural sciences faculty's schedule at this point (more than his own tbh) so he showed grian a copy of the senior professor's schedule... unfortunately for grian it was the professor's off day.
to cheer up the guy, scar asked what grian's study was about, and even though the cute guy enthusiastically shared a synopsis of his work, he wishes he had cub there to translate it in layman terms. scar can easily handle numbers, or even math problems that doesnt have numbers anymore, but he'd be damned if he had to figure out what a CRISPR Cas9 is (it wasnt even the subject of the study, he just fixated on it)
they exchanged names before grian leaves the room. when cub finally arrived, scar was on the floor, because
1. that cute man was grian slayer, his schoolmate from highschool that he had a pathetic huge crush on, and he looks as cute as ever even though theyre in their thirties already
2. GRIAN DOESNT REMEMBER HIM???
3. he was too embarrassed to bring up they knew each other in highschool. and were in the same club together (school gazette). because of the previous reasons.
in the class after that lunch break, his good natured students had to ask if he was alright. he gave them a pop quiz so he didn't have to talk about it.
> anw... flasssh forward
grian and scar are closer now, and grian remembers scar and their club shenanigans
they usually hang out in the natural sciences faculty office, but sometimes grian goes over to the engineering faculty office and they grade papers together as they talk about parking fees, grian's favorite sock still missing, or the overwhelming cat population problem in campus (which is quite the opposite for them two.)
> one time, grian's car broke down in the morning, so he had to commute through public transport to his other university and then to scar's university. scar offers him a ride to the train station. grian accepts, but when he got there, the train was delayed, and grian just wants to nap asap.
scar, with all the bravery in his heart, which is honestly not much, jokingly offers grian to stay over to his place (scar ends up speaking like a robot.)
grian just nods and goes back into the car.
scar is so nervous as he drives to his place, and grian is casually chatting with him but it's obvious how sleepy and tired he is, and at some point grian is speaking gibberish—he doesn't know if hes failing to understand because grian is slowly nodding away or if scar is losing his sanity at the thought of bringing his cute coworker home.
it should also be noted that scar, despite being in his mid thirties, and occasionally getting numbers from strangers who find him attractive, has never dated anyone before. ever. he did technically date someone but he didn't know about it until the person broke up with him, so technically — never dated.
neither has grian but scar doesnt know that
and that is why, when grian steps into scar's place, the following happens:
1. grian compliments the interior decors
2. grian sits on the couch as scar goes to get something for grian to drink
3. when he comes back to the living room grian is knocked out in his couch.
4. grian leaves very early in the morning, leaving a cute post it note thanking scar for letting him crash
this continues to happen until grian finally got his car fixed. scar is both flabbergasted and in awe. he doesn't know if it's butterflies in his stomach or the diarrhea that comes with his coffee addiction.
...
cub: so grian always comes over and sleeps at your place?
scar: yes. but. like. not anymore.
cub: im saying is, youve had a man over so many times but the farthest you guys have done is eat takeout as you watch a cat video compilation?
scar:
cub:
scar:
cub: i can't believe you are thirty-s—
scar: no need to remind me of my youth.
though, sometimes grian will say his car is having a maintenance repair and come over again at scar's, even though his new car is at pristine condition. but scar doesn't need to know that
(grian bought a t*sla because he lost a bet. hes now a proud owner of a secondhand honda and swore he will never ever make a bet with jimmy and joel ever again)
> one time scar left his room open, and grian being more comfortable of scar's place sneaks a quick peek into what scar's room looks like
scar just got out of the shower when he saw grian holding a thin comic book.
prior to that evening, cub suggested scar to show off his body. get out of the shower, hair and a body wet and only a towel for his goodtimes.
scar does just that, but he almost dropped his towel when he realized grian is reading the first print of the physical book version of his webcomic that just arrived in his mail the other day.
scar: ... look, i—
grian: i didn't know this has a physical version already. i havent caught up with it in a long time.
scar: ... wait, you've read it?
grian: yeah. my friend, jimmy, loves reading these internet comics and just spams my messages with the latest one he's read. i decided to read it out of boredom but got hooked because the art's pretty nice, and hotguy is hot and pathetic.
grian: by the way, wow. do you work out? you could probably dress up as hotguy and pull it off with a body like that.
scar remained in that spot until grian's food delivery arrived and invited him to eat. his plan worked but at the same time this wasn't how he expected it to go.
he tells this to cub, who was also flabbergasted.
scar feels... underwhelmed? maybe hes a little too old to be crushing on a guy who just sees him as a good pal. sure, after that, grian is a bit more touchy with him, but maybe it's because they've gotten closer. maybe its time for him to give up whatever fantasy his highschool self had with grian.
> well, grian is someone who is used to bottling up his feelings. feelings of thirst after seeing his colleague shirtless is not one of those feelings he can easily bottle up. the more he thinks about it, the more he feels stupid. he knew the guy from highschool, and while scar was tall, we was very timid compared to his current bubbly and confident demeanor. you can probably tell i listened to sabrina carpenter's "when did you get hot" too much because that song is exactly this. his view on scar had a 180 and he starts to notice things he hadnt noticed before:
1. how scar always rolls his sleeves up after lectures
2. how scar's button is always had one button open
3. how hes always stylish while dressing appropriately for his age; and it always seem to fit his body very well
4. maybe scar should wear a bra
5. maybe scar should put his chest on grians fac—
grian gave up on sleep that night. and since, as mumbo (another professor - electrical engineer) pointed out, he's been making googoo eyes at scar. cub also jokes about the unfair favoritism, as hes always the first to help scar around and basically stuck to him like glue whenever he could.
>> anotherrrr timeskip because thats basically just both of them being stupid
> thinking about grian finally completing his phd and having no more reason to go to scar's university. he's also been given an offer to teach at a more prestigious university, which hed need to move closer to.
he does the math in his brain. him staying in this apartment means he will be 2 hours away from that university, compared to the 1 hour drive he does to his current job. from his job, he drives 2 hours just to get to scar, which is 3 hours total from his place. if he moves, then he'll be 5 hours away from scar
thats a scary number, even scarier if he thinks about the gas prices if he wanted to desperately pull it off.
Grian thinks about it more, and he had the brilliant and never done before idea of simply calling scar.
calls eventually turn into facetime, and they basically talk until one falls asleep... though usually, they don't even bother turning it off. there was one time grian woke up to scar already awake, staring at the screen, greeting him a good morning.
that morning, his one class (seniors... theyre unfazed by his strict persona now) asked if he was in a good mood. he made a mistake of saying yes instead of "if youve got time to chat, youve got time to study your specimen", and now theres a rumor going around that he finally has a girlfriend.
"finally" is a word added by gem, a professor in the same department, except if she were the one to start the rumor, she'd say "boyfriend"
gem once caught grian facetiming scar during lunch. grian sheepishly blocked the phone, but scar greets gem anyway.
he wouldn't say scar is his boyfriend... they never talked about it, let alone done anything more than close friends would do.
there was the time scar he told scar the news that he defended his thesis and will be publishing the paper soon. scar smiled wide and hugged grian tightly, and grian returned it. they stayed there for while until scar pulled away to look into his eyes and told grian how proud he was.
if they stayed there for a little longer, maybe grian would lean in for a kiss. but alas, he was congratulated by their colleagues who barged into the room.
>> they finally meet again, on a weekend, and this time it was scar who drove all the way to grian's place. it was a lot smaller and simpler, enough to accommodate a single person.
grian offered they eat at a nearby cafe, thinking his place might be a bit boring, but scar insists they could just stay in and hangout.
grian made dinner for them and they watched some movies, but at some point it becomes bg noise as scar shares his drafts for his webcomic (he already knows scar is the author at this point, but hes still stupid to connect the dots to who hotguy and poultry man are)
at some point, they both fell asleep on the sofa, cuddled together under a blanket. grian was the first to wake up, who just admires scar's sleeping face.
it was at this point he finally accepted he is, without a doubt, in love with this man, and he would like to be with him until his hair turns gray and until his bones become brittle.
scar wakes up, sheepishly apologizes for staying for too long, but grian weakly tells him to stay, almost begging.
and scar does.
in the morning, they went to go get groceries together. after a lunch date, scar finally bid him a farewell, promising he'll come here again some other time.
grian wants to tell him to stay once again, but instead wishes scar to drive safely and to call him once he gets home.
once scar's car his out of his view, a decision was locked into his head.
he called the other university and politely declined the offer. was it perhaps a stupid choice? maybe. his past self would say yes easily. but is it a terrible choice? no. plus, even if he can drive 5 hours just to get to scar, he doesn't want scar to go through the same trouble.
maybe hes become stupider, but god, hes never felt happier.
> there was a small celebration party at scar's office. scar told grian it was because of a quiz bee competition among the colleges, and the engineering department won by a landslide.
scar isn't that active on social media. he just has a private twitter account that he barely even posts on. grian is the same, except he also has instagram. and does he have any reason to follow a university's social media account even if he doesnt work there other than the rare photos of scar? nope. but there was one student-run news account that posted pictures of the engineering college celebrating their win along with their professors.
scar looks dashing. hes barely in the photo in most of it, but grian will take what he can get.
one photo, another professor was holding scar by the waist. grian pauses. he closes his phone and walks around his office for a good 5 minutes before sitting back down in and looking at the picture again. time to assess.
a gorgeous tall man with long brown hair and a gorgeous mustache. grian touches the stubble on his chin. he hasn't even shaved it in months.the man is just as stylish as scar and has very fitting clothes. hes holding scar's waist and scar doesnt seem to mind it at all
what is going on here. but most importantly, why is grian so jealous of this... yes hes in love with scar but scar isn't even his partner!!!!!
grian pales. what if scar is seeing someone. he never even bothered to ask that. hell, is scar even gay? or atleast bi?
grian's fingers move on their own before he could comprehend what he was even typing.
grian: scar
grian: im comign over later
grian: youve got explainng to do
scar: Um cool
scar: Wait what did I do???
grian: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID
scar: HUH????????
after an exam (apologies to his class, he planned to alter some procedures to be easier but hes seeing red for the most of it that his could hear his students crying over how hard it was after) he drove to scar's place asap.
he got there before scar, and he waited by the door. scar almost jumped when he was grian, even nervously greeting him.
it's unfair to be mad at scar when he doesnt even know what he did. he knows that. so he tries to calm down. but scar takes his coat off and grian is reminded again of scar's waist. he's mad again.
but this time he just sits on the floor as he hid his head in his hands. its so stupid for a man in his thirties being this jealous over a man we wasnt even in a relationship with. soon, he was full on sobbing.
scar panics, trying to talk to grian but grian is just speaking gibberish through his sobs. he brings grian to the sofa, and he comforts him until he calms down.
scar: did something happen?
scar: did i do something wrong?
grian: are you gay?
scar: ....
scar: yea—
grian: do you have a boyfriend?
scar: ... what?
grian: answer or ill strangle you, scar.
scar: grian... i've never dated anyone.
grian:
grian: so there's no one else right now? youre not seeing anybody?
scar: yeah, i'm not seeing anyone. besides, i—
grian: so you're not seeing that guy with a mustache?
scar: who— REN? that man has a boyfriend! no!
grian: THEN WHY WAS HE HOLDING YOUR WAIST?!
grian shows the picture on his phone to scar, hugging his knees and hiding his face.
grian: i haven't even held your hand and someone else is being that close to you...
scar: grian—
grian: i dont even know why im so mad, im so sorry for screaming at you, i just— this is so stupid, getting this angry over such a trivial thing. this is pathethic of me, im so sorry—
scar holds grian's face so he could look at scar.
scar: can you just let me talk, angel?
scar wipes the tears off grian's cheeks.
scar: for the past few years, ive never felt happier. yknow why?
grian: why?
scar: because the guy ive had a hopeless crush in highschool suddenly barged into my life again. and i let him in. and it was the best thing to happen to me.
scar: you shouldn't worry about anyone else, because you're the most important person to me.
scar: because grian, i'm in love with y—
grian leans in to kiss scar. and scar reciprocates, a bit hungrier. the kiss turns into something more, and grian ends up spending the night with scar. he wakes up in the morning with his body sore all over, so he calls in sick to work for the first time in years. and so did scar.
grian had to wear a turtleneck sweater the day after, and scar dresses a little more modest than usual. gem and cub made sure to congratulate them while they were having a lecture in their respective classes. such supportive friends.
>> timeskip, they get married!
grian moves into scar's place, and they save up for their own house someday.
scar posts a selfie of them with the caption "my husband and i are expecting our first child 💗"
their friends reply with "congrats on your pregnancy 💗" while their poor advisees/students have no idea theyre just adopting a cat.
poor grian has to clarify that to his other colleagues everytime they adopt a cat (they ended up with 5.)
in scar's webcomic, hotguy finally catches poultry man, only to find out it had been his sidekick cuteguy all along. and they kiss in the final page. and then they explo—
>> thats all for now. this au is NOT done. i WILL be annoying about them again in the foreseeable future
i plan to make random doodles of them because ive wanted to draw scarian doing mundane things or being domestic for a while now c: if youve read all up to this point, i hope it was coherent LOL
Ok imma go for a more softer approach. How about... An art date with basement/art student gee! Idk i find it cute and fluffy. equally nerdy reader idk smth smth yes thank you (^_-)
Take ur time, cruxxyyy :33
Your anon,
☕
thaaaaaank u for changing ur approach-it wasnt just u req nsfw works, totally normal, especially in this community, im just very new to writing and can basically only do sfw hcs so far :p sorry again thankz for understanding !!
SIGH I really love the whole college-romance vibe this gives off stawwppp ehehejfkdkf I actually enjoyed writing this so much I might try to make it a fic ＼(^^)／
word count- uhhhh 686?
my college fantasy below the cut
art student!gee who first saw u on campus and quickly sketched u in his notebook. He thought u were really pretty, sitting with ur friends and laughing, talking abt classes n what-not.
art student!gee who went out of his way to color the drawing and give it nice line-art. He considered giving it to u for weeks, figuring out where he could find u during different times of day. Turns out u have a class together!!
art student!gee who immediately asked to pair up with u when ur professor gave you guys a group art assignment. He said he liked ur work-u guys had to share ur favorite piece of ur own work at the beginning of the year-and would like to see what u two could do together, combining styles. U agreed, tho hesitantly...
art student!gee who invited u to his dorm-or he could go to urs!-to work on the project. u guys started meeting as often as u could and ended up exchanging numbers too.
art student!gee who eventually asks u if ud like to go to lunch or whatever with him-theres a cute little coffee shop not far from campus! U agree, a little hesitant still, and he guides u there after ur classes one day. You guys sit around, drink amazing coffee, and stutter around casual conversation. He pays-quite the gentleman-and yall go back to his dorm to work on ur art project.
art student!gee who always quickly sketches u in classes whenever he sees u. he has them all in one sketchbook, and occasionally he colors them. He really likes his first drawing of u-he thinks it captures u best bc he didnt even know u. one day-when u guys get closer-he'll show u the drawings.
art student!gee who doesnt dare ask u out first. Yeah he likes u but hes terrified of crossing a line...what if u dont wanna or u dont like him like that or suddenly u have a partner or uve had a partner this whole time or-
art student!gee who complimented everything u did in the project, turns it in all proud, n when u guys get a pretty good grade he takes u to that cafe again as celebration. It wasnt that big of a deal, just another project, but who could turn down warm coffee and frosted pastries? Hes more fidgety this time, like his mind is elsewhere, but u dismiss it.
art student!gee who loses his fucking mind when u kiss him. At the cafe, like always, and hes mid sentence while eating a donut and u just cant help urself and u lean forward and kiss him. He chokes on the donut and spits crumbs all over the place, squeezing out quick "im sorry! sorry!"'s as he turns away and tries to control himself. When he finally regains composer and turns back around hes all red in the face- probably from choking, but u take some credit-and giving u a big deer in headlights stare. Then he starts giggling (hes like an oversized child) and leans forward and kisses u too. tastes like donut.
art student!gee who is sooooo fucking excited knowing u like him back. Hes scared, but he shows u his drawings of u and explains when or why or whatever. Everytime he shows u one hes talking all quiet, then he stops and slinks into himself while u look at it. And everytime u say u like it or u point out some detail u enjoy he gets all cute n excited and flails to show u the next one!
art student!gee who draws u all the time now. He also adores taking pictures of u-i like to think he has those like actual digital cameras n shit, or maybe a polaroid. Any moment he can hes snapping a photo or sketching ur face. There's one picture he got of both of u, and ur hugging him and he picked up and spun u, and the pictures all blurry cuz of the motion but its his favorite cuz even tho its blurry he can still see ur smile ♡
Just wanna say, I absolutely adore your characters lmao. Franz and Lyov are soooo <3333, Ashley is perfect (I love him so much, he deserves all the princess treatment ever), and JAMES. JAMES. Jello, when I catch you,,,,,, Jello,,,,,,,, literally named the ship between Jesse and James ROCKETSHIP LMAO I love them. Blue-haired beach boy, prepare for trouble and make it double lmfao <333
Also, I LOVE Archie’s design. He’s so fisherman, wonderful <333 He and his little boat remind me of Dredge and I love it <333
I think it’s sooooo funny that James dad likes Archie, who is Nick’s new situationship, who is Jesse’s ex, who is James’s new boyfriend!!! This relationship diagram is complicated af lmao!!!!
Anyway. Getting long now. I love all your other boys (and non-boys), Darrell, Tav, Pyro, Pierre…. Love your work <33
This ask means so much to me !!! <3
Thank you so very very much ….!!!!! All of my art is so scattered it’s amazing to hear any of it makes a lick of sense. And all your kind words….it makes me so happy to draw, so inspired, it makes everything worth it !!!! <<33333 Thank you, thank you, for real. Hugs and love to you, friend <33333333
Here’s some art for you that I really liked! James and Taveon are best friends :) they love hanging out in Pyro’s room and playing music for them to feel on the speakers :)))
I swear i'm normal i promise (i'm lying)
I'm likely going to be spewing this from my mind as i get into a flow state on how he'd act and stuff, sooooo. Under read more!
Sprite edit because i can't be bothered for an actual drawing rn
@heartkittieslittle-glowing-monke I know you'll wanna see this!
CW: Cannibalism, Murder, Drugging
He's a tsundere, no questions asked.
I'm pretty sure if he could, he's just stare at you forever and ever, to him, you're the only Toon who is above his hatred, the only one who i actually cool.
His hatred towards you would be toned down a lot, more than to Finn. He'd be like, angry yelling at you to shut up because he doesn't know what else to say, no literally. He doesn't know what to say to you.
If you get that tiiiiny bit to close, he's going to start stammering and pushing(more like shoving) you away something about you being so close just makes him all flustered.
He's probably killed a few others already, considering he isn't exactly opposed to harming others. (thumbtacks to Looey, pushing Gourdy that one time, and probably more.)
The Toons he as killed is up to you, since the question is who you'd be somewhat close to.
He resents it when you hang out with literally anyone else but him, if he's there, he's staring daggers at everyone, no one is spared, not even Finn, his best bud.
How you even got his interest in you? It's honestly kind of simple, he finds you pretty... really really pretty, like, "what if i'm covered in their blood" pretty.
He isn't scared to hurt you by the way, if not more excited to do so (sadist), seeing you cry, even if it's from being happy, makes his heart skip a beat. Don't even get me started if on you're bleeding, his face would flush so fast that he'd wish he dropped dead!
The interest probably started on a run, maybe it was a bad run that day, everyone is beat, tired, and supplies somewhat drained, and he'd see you. Just right after the run ended, he never pays anyone any mind during runs, he doesn't care. Yet, from seeing you, covered in bandages, dried ichor(blood) on you, with you're face looking tired. Something about that, it made him want to see that look on you more.
He wants to cause you to feel that way, pain, make you feel some pain, if he could he'd punch and kick you, not enough to spill any blood(ichor) but enough to leave bruising, to show he did that to you.
Shrimpo doesn't have the biggest stature, of course, so if he did kill someone, he'd want it to be quick, so a quick deep stab to the chest would do!
I'll say this now, but Goob would be sooooo dead. He'd be the first on his list, Goob is a big guy, who is very affectionate. Getting rid of him would first off, add to that pain and sorrow in your eyes that he really likes seeing(seriously this dude is a sadist). That and it also being a great way to bring down the groups moral, huuuuge positive battery, gone!
The only one who would notice Shrimpo's change is Finn, Finn has kept an eye on Shrimpo, i mean, no one else will, so make everyone's life just that tiny bit easier to keep an eye on the trouble maker.
"Shrimpo, yer shore that there isn't anything wrong? I can't kelp but notice that you've been acting off..."
"NOTHING'S WRONG FINN! I'M PERFECTLY NORMAL!"
"Shore yer are, like how i'm perfectly fine with never making puns."
"LEAVE ME ALONE YOU FISHED FACE! YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!"
"Hurtful much? Geez Shrimpo, you're reel-ly crabby, you shore you're fine?-"
"I AM SO STOP ASKING!"
"Whale, if you insist... just, let me minnow if you need anything..."
"RIGHT! SURE! SHORE, FINN! I'LL LET CHA KNOW WHEN I WANNA!"
Shrimpo would eventually let it slip that he likes you to Finn on one of their talks, and oh my goodness when I say Finn will do whatever it takes to match make the two of you (unintentionally making Shrimpo's wants easier to get)
Back to Shirmpo being an absolute weirdo, he'd wanna like, drink your blood(ichor) because he wanna know what you taste like, or your flesh, that too!
If Finn were to somehow matchmake you two, Shrimpo would become soooooo possessive, like your the prize he's been waiting for, and refuses to give up.
If you go somewhere, he's nearby, bathroom? If you don't allow him to come in with you, he'll be waiting out the door. Your bedroom? be prepared for him to literally barge in and sleep in your bed with you.
He HATES everyone else's cooking, so overtime he's picked up on how to cook a bit, and he's pretty good at it! but he's lazy af when it comes to cooking so he's often not, but now with you, he won't let anyone else feed you, so he'll make you food when he can (or has the energy to do so)
At some point when he's making meals for you, he'll slip something into your food... of course he would.
You'd end up waking up in his room's bathroom, every toon's room has got a bathroom attached, it's just easier... not good for you of course.
You would be tied up, hands and feet bound, gagged. He'd be the first thing you see, with him sitting on top of you waiting for you to wake up.
"Good, you're finally up. You slept for too long, now how about this. If you don't start screaming the moment I un-gag you, I'll give you a kiss and feed you~. I know you're still hungry, you didn't even finish your plate at breakfast~."
You wouldn't respond, not like you can since you're gagged, but you nod in agreement.
"Good, good..."
He'd un-gag you, before kissing you and just like, not pulling away until you're both literally gasping for air. After a minute or so, he'd re-gag you, before leaving, and then coming back with a plate of food. It looks freshly made. He'd un-gag you, then start feeding you.
Every once in a while, he'd come by, and start hitting you, not hard enough for any real pain, but enough that it'd leave behind light bruises, and making your body sore. Not to mention the countless bites and hickys he's already given you.
There has only been a couple times where he's bitten down hard enough to spill blood, and in that case, he licks up alllll up. Then he'd patch you up and leave like nothing ever happened.
You don't even know how long it's been, maybe a week, months? you can't tell, because you have nothing to do, but just look around and nap.
If someone were to find you, oh god would it look awful. Small pools of dried Ichor around you, bites everywhere, old and new bruises. you look like you'd be tortured.
Shrimpo wouldn't be careful enough to keep you for long. So you'd be freed eventually, but that doesn't mean he won't stop trying to get close to you again.
Sprout and a few others might end up jailing him, locking him in a closet.
Shrimpo doesn't win this time around, but if he's able to do it once, he can do it again. Who's to say that he won't just get out and do the same again? But this time, he'll make sure no one can stop him.
Aka, he's going to genocide Garden View.
That's all folks! one of my lovely moots asked if i could do this, and with Shrimpo slowly infecting my brain, i just had to!
Anygway uhm transmasc Maxwell and also Torse thoughts (torsewell? I feel like when I do stuff with them it automatically becomes kinda queerplatonic just bc I like them sm). Maxwell has very visible top surgery scars (and maybe that adds to him always being so eager to and insistent on taking his shirt off? I feel like he'd be happy showing it off) and Torse does not really have a concept of that?? But he clocks that unlike Maxwell's other scars these are too like. Clean and symmetrical to be from a battle so eventually when they're closer he out of curiosity asks if they're surgical and Maxwell goes oh yeah. And he's like. I see. What kind of injury did you sustain to require such a procedure this seems so serious. And then it's oh no haha.
Then Maxwell gets to explain human and specifically Gathie transgenderism and medical transitioning to Torse (automata have some degree of gender but like. it's definitely not the same when they do not have sexes. Gender is always a social construct but you see how much more it is a construct when you have nothing to link it to other than what make you of it. Does that sentence even make sense?? I do think that a lot of it developed because of Zern's connections to and interactions with Zood. Like they saw Zoodians' gender expression and a lot of Zernian automata went oh cool I identify with that. that's me. And then it got integrated into Zernian culture. But this is such a side tangent) and then Torse can go "oh, I'm glad. It is not uncommon for automata to make altercations to their bodies to feel more at home in them. I assumed those made of flesh were more limited in this I'm glad that you (and Olethra obvs. I just don't think Max would bring up her business even if she's super open abt it) could make adjustments to be more comfortable too because I care you :)" and then Maxwell gets to feel warm and emotional about it. Hooray.
Also if Maxwell was a name he chose himself then his insistence on people using it (and Torse's sworn defence of it) gets a new layer which is fun.
ALSO also the rumor about him using a serum. He gets soooo offended at it and is like how did this even happen where did this come from?? And then he suddenly wakes up at night and remembers some roommate at Revington looking at him weirdly when he took a t shot. And he's like. Ah. I see. If no phalloplasty then the torqued up key bit is also extra funny because Monty's like "Boy. You have a massive erection." and Maxwell is truly just "What the fuck are you even talking about."
Oh and this should be its own post bc I love them so much but just his and Olethra's friendship is sooooo deeply important to me and I think if they were both trans that would also be awesome. You understand. (I wanna draw them still in like comfy clothes/sleepwear next to each other "Oh, yours comes in pill form?" "Yeah me and my parents make them ourselves :)." "....okay." Bc Maxwell still is so scared of her parents and unsure if anything they do is safe. I think I'm very funny.)
so originally i was just doing a ref of the twins for the sake of my own memory. but then i realized "hey i can also make a blind felix au ref outta this"
i chose to dress the bfau boys as i did for specific reasons and i yap about it all under the cut so if you wanna see an autistic person lose their mind about character design uhhh open it ig
• Felix likes wearing thick, baggy clothing because it makes him feel more weighted and secure. also, he often runs into stuff during his first few months of blindness, and the thicker clothing helps reduce injury. it just kinda subconsciously became his preferred style of clothing after that. yes, he will wear a knitted sweater in 90° heat. no, he's not okay
• Felix's shoes are also noticeably thicker-soled than Ted's bc, again, he's scared he's gonna step on something on accident. his shoes are also velcro instead of lace so he doesn't struggle with putting them on by himself
• bc Felix Sr/Mr. Huxely is an Asshole who teaches his kids Assholish Values, Felix is very much ashamed of having to use a cane for a long, long time. he normally has Ted carry it around for him and only uses it when he absolutely has to. normally TED is his living cane so he doesn't need it much agdhagsgaha
• Felix replaces his bandages the start of every day, and every night before he goes to bed. ...or, Ted does it for him. a few nurses have tried before but Felix always complains about them 'not doing it right' or 'making it too tight' and even if they manage to get the bandages on, Felix would just rip them off and demand for Ted to do it afterwards (this is my way of subtly saying Felix only wants and trusts Ted to do his bandages and he's terrified of everyone else lol haha)
• He's still a little snobby asshole but he gets better every day, especially after meeting other disabled people. it's a slow process, but he's getting there. slowly. sooooo slowly.
• ong the whole time I was drawing bfau Ted the more details i added to him the louder that one Markiplier audio played in my head. 'oh, it's adorable! ...oh, it has anxiety. oh, it's traumatized-'
• the only positive about this situation is that since Felix isn't on his ass about upholding a formal appearance for the family name anymore, Ted can dress more to his style, which is like. how any 5 year old would wanna dress ODGOSGAIG
• also, Ted not only primarily wears red bc it's like. His Color, it also hides bloodstains very well. and as I said in my first bfau post, blood comes out when Felix cries, Ted just.. doesn't mention that
• there's not much else to say about Ted's design other than that I slapped the top of that bad boy and saw how much guilt I could fit in em. spoiler: its a lot
• Ted doesn't get very good sleep a lot of the time, and when hes not with Felix, it's bc Felix Sr is dragging him to a business meeting so that he can 'learn the ropes'. Ted sleeps the best whenever Felix is in the same room as him, so thats why he has the eyebags. he doesn't get to, often
• as I said in my last post, Ted blames himself for what happened, even if it like. isn't at all his fault. he smiles a lot less and has lost a lot of his joyous whimsy. he still is the kinder and more positive twin, hes just. hes really Sad
• if someone makes fun of Felix for being blind Ted will beat them with the cane, fullstop. don't test him
• ...okay this isnt an au-specific thing its just how I draw the twins but every time I get to do it it makes me go 'teehee'. Felix's little hair part thing is shaped like an apple, and Ted's is a heart. teehee. I love details
okay that's it thank you for reading the rambles of an autistic maniac now shoo shoo sprays you with spray bottle
