John Tyler 💘 Rusty fics: John Tyler is my interpretation of a character pulled from the show "Tell Me Your Secrets," in which he is a very very bad man. I have a headcanon where he and my OC Rusty are soulmates who meet in different incarnations. These stories feature emotionally complicated characters who are unreliable narrators, and both are in survival mode in some sense. The abuse in these fics is intended to be multi-layered, but never excused, and I invite you to speak your mind respectfully toward any insight or feelings they may inspire in you. So far, DTDN (an unreleased WIP) is the only one where John Tyler is a "good" man, so again, heed the warnings and read at your own risk. Take mindful care of yourself.

Syconium

Chapter: 2/?

Summary: Every cop who works on the Citadel long enough has a story like this. Different names, different places, but the same unspoken warning— some cases are better off unsolved.

Setting: A couple years before the events of ME1, while Garrus is a rookie detective at C-Sec.

(thanks so much to @servantofclio  and @meggannn for beta-ing!!)

CH 2: The Severed Head

The 700 block was a far cry from prime real estate. Nestled between the clanking din of the Factory District and the sterile rows of Habcapsules designed to shelter the station’s transient population, it had all the defunct charm of an industrial slum. An advertisement for Solar Electronics loomed large overhead, its stylized sun logo glowing the baleful orange-red of a dying star, gilding the buildings below with the secondhand glamor of its slick neon gleam. Even so, each one of them bore the unmistakable look of a warehouse repurposed into tenement housing. Utilitarian to a fault, and uniformly dreary, it was still possible to imagine them used for storage, only now instead of equipment, manufacturing components, or raw materials, they held people — the residents of the Citadel nobody cared about, set aside in a place where they’d pose the least inconvenience to everyone else.

Without the blinking blue indicator on his nav system, Akiba Estates would have been indistinguishable from the rest: gray, cramped, and boxy, it sat in the street with its stunted brethren like a row of mottled teeth.

Read the rest on AO3!

Screencaps of Syconium XX and Fig doing the tango, with “Both of You” Steven Universe lyrics arranged on it.

This was supposed to be a very quick warm up! XX from Syconium. I’ve wanted to try a painted interpretation of her for a while now.

Bonus: the underlying sketch before I started refining. It really was a quick doodle! ...and then I started painting over it...

sorry for the lack of art lately!

here is a rendition of Fig from NofNA’s Syconium, an excellent webcomic in a series done by Zach Braun. Done on brown recycled paper with china markers (which are a blast!).
