The Westward Eye

Somewhere that may have existed long ago… or perhaps is still to come… lies a place isolated from the rest of civilization, known as ‘The West’ - where lost communities perform ancient traditions, old gods pry themselves from the earth, and monstrous creatures lurk in the darkness.

The Westward Eye my beloved 👁️

[the-butterbun]

i might have made sterling too pretty- ANYWAY they're getting ready for bed♪( ´▽｀)

[thewestwardeye-official]

You can never make Sterling too pretty 😳

[the-butterbun]

my babies!!! was just figuring out their designs but i liked them so much i decided to post them, i made them from memory of their descriptions so might not be 100% acurate but who cares they're still co precious!

[thewestwardeye-official]

👀

[the-butterbun]

Do you like it 👉👈 Or more importantly is it acurate to how y'all imagined them?? Theyre just fan design but it would still be fun to know lol

Oh and my biggest question...

Does steriling wear chaps? That would be very fun to draw hehehe

[thewestwardeye-official]

OUR CAST IS SCREAMING OVER HOW CUTE IT IS! We absolutely love how you captured all the characters! They’re so cute! It’s really interesting to see you a little bit of feminine energy you give Sterling because we haven’t really seen that before! Absolutely obsessed!!! We make a point to keep the character descriptions vague, so our fans can view themselves as their favorite character and draw such a wonderful range of fanart! 

I think Sterling definitely wears chaps. They’re probably a little dusty and a dark color but 100%! Tobin is definitely a little jealous because Sterling looks so cool 👀

Carolyn means so much to me, so what was originally just a fic about her comforting Sterling after a nightmare turned into something a little more focused on her

Summary:

Some innocent, childlike part of her had believed that, once past the wall, life would be easy. And yet, it seemed more complicated than ever. She was desperate to give Sterling the childhood she’d always wanted for them, but doing it without any semblance of help, of community?

Some days, she felt like she just couldn’t do it by herself. Like maybe she wasn’t fit to be a mother at all.

If only Robert were here. He’d know what to do.

(Or: Baby Sterling has recurring nightmares. So does Carolyn.)

TWE community! New fic coming... tomorrow? (read: it's done but I hate picking titles)

It's about Carolyn 🥰❤️

Also I definitely have some thoughts about the newest episode. Let me cook 👀

[thewestwardeye-official]

Absolutely loved the last one <3
