im thinking about how the vessels celebrate mothers day with Lotus since she doesn’t have a mom.
i feel like they tell Lotus that you give III gifts and hugs for mothers day and on fathers day you give II and IV gifts.
cw/ Lotus learning not to call II her mother
but it would be interesting if she gets older and walks up to vessel and is just like
Lotus: Pa! why did you guys choose Bapa(iii) for mothers day?
Vessel: it was their idea, and it was either that or your aunts but we wanted to keep it in your immediate family.
Lotus: why.. why not Dad? he popped me out?
which II walked in looked at Lotus and just simply said
II very sternly: i spent 6 months holding you in my body, you almost broke my pelvis when i pushed you out. just for you to say i should be called your mother? no, i am your father and will always be your father, correct?
Lotus: yes sir..
which really made Lotus understand her father a lot more.
coded and i love that. i also think i finally settled on not giving him top surgery. i might change my mind in the future but eh thats future me’s problem
II has a lot of tattoos but he also has this very VERY distinct tattoo of filigree with the sleep token symbol in the middle. its to cover up his top surgery scars but also he just wanted to get that tattoo even before the op. hes very happy with how it looks and loves to wear button up unbuttoned just enough so you can see the logo in the middle. vessel helped with the design as well.
(ive had this sketch for MONTHS, i believe since august)
oh how i want to draw my II pre top surgery, sitting in the living room, shirt off, no binder, just chilling and being proud of his chest even if it isn't flat yet
