Summary: Remus, the local bad boy and literal delinquent, wasn't expecting to ever speak to Patton, the high school's local goody-two-shoes and teacher's pet. He definitely wasn't expecting to talk about this.
“Remus!”
Remus turned around, surprised to hear his name over the din of the students crowding the hallways of the high school. He was even more startled when he realized who was calling for him – Patton Heart, the school’s resident goody-two-shoes and Remus’s crush since second grade.
(Yeah, he knew he was fucked as far as any possibility of that going anywhere went; Roman had been telling him that fact for a long, long time. But crushes didn’t listen to things like logic or reality, and so Remus was stuck on Patton.)
“Hi, Remus!”
Patton came up to him, his cheeks ruddy and blonde curls mussed from pushing his way through the other students.
“You know my name?” Remus asked, stunned at the realization and not able to articulate anything else.
“Of course I do!” Patton reached out and grabbed Remus’s hand, squeezing it tightly. “How could I not?” He sounded… excited to be talking to him, and genuinely confused as to why he wouldn’t know who Remus was.
“Well, I’m- I’m. Not. Really. The kind of person you’d normally talk to.” Remus couldn’t help the way he was tripping over his words as the other boy didn’t let go of his hand, the bright smile never leaving his face.
“Well, why d’you think that?” Patton took a step closer to him to get out of the way of the flow of students, almost pressing his chest to Remus’s and wobbling slightly at the change of position. His blue eyes were wide and genuine behind his thick glasses lenses.
Remus caught Patton’s arms to help him balance as his head whirled, trying to order his thoughts into some semblance of coherence. “I- I’m gay, I don’t think God is real, I’m a literal delinquent-”
Patton laughed and pulled him by the hand into the crowd, towards the cafeteria.
“Silly goose, none of that matters. I’m gay too, for one thing, and I understand that not everyone believes in God, and quite honestly-”
Patton stopped in the middle of the hallway, forcing the crowd to separate around them to avoid bowling the two of them over. He gave Remus a conspiratorial smile.
“To be honest, I wanted to talk to you so I could ask you about helping me with something that’s not-exactly-totally-legal.”
Remus’s jaw dropped in shock. Patton was gay? And asking about doing something illegal? And wanted his help doing it?
Fuck, Remus would be so screwed by the time Patton was done with him.
(As if he wasn’t already, a voice that sounded suspiciously like Roman’s whispered in the back of his head.)
My goodness, this one was a process ;;u;; It was so hard to find good reference for this bizarre topsy-turvy perspective that I wanted to do… but it’s what Virgil deserves. 😤 💜 (close-ups under the cut)
Knock. Knock. Knock. Virgil groaned and rolled over to face the ceiling. Wait. Fuck!
Virgil shot out of bed, quickly calling out a loud, “Come in!”. Logan opened the door and leaned against the wall. He raised an eyebrow.
“Are you alright?” Logan asked as he watches Virgil open his luggage bag and sift through the clothes. “The drawers are full of specially made clothes.” Virgil nodded as he held up a t-shirt, then shook his head. Logan smirked and walked towards the drawers. He pulled one open, found suitable clothes, and then handed them to a confused-looking Virgil. Virgil dropped the t-shirt he was holding and took the clothes. A dark purple shirt with small rips in it, a black jacket with purple patches… and.. black jeans. Oh, yeah. The new clothes. He thought as the sluggishness swept away.
“Are you–” He paused to yawn. “Sure I can have these?” He mumbled from behind his hand. It looked like he was trying to hide his whole body behind his arm. Logan had half the mind to stop himself from chucking at the shorter male.
“Yes, Virgil. Emile was very insistent on what you would like to wear, and I knew you wouldn’t want to answer him. So I answered for you. Sorry for the intrusion, I may have looked at the sizes of your clothes.” Virgil blinked, not unlike the cats on earth.
“Oh.”
Logan chuckled and hummed. “I’ll leave you to get dressed, we have a long day ahead of us. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.” Then he proceeded to walk out of the lavish room.
Having troubles with facial angles in your drawing style?
Try a 3D sculpture of your art in your own style in a free program that is simple and very easy to use.
The program is called Sculptris and is a free off-shoot program from Zbrush, that program that you keep hearing about but either takes selling your kidneys or piracy to actually use.
If you download it and sculpt out a facial model, you can have references for your own work for all of time. No more endlessly searching Google for reference materials or twisting/rotating/flipping a drawing to see if there are flaws. And you can easily edit it to create more facial types. This way, you can make character references for any and every face and facial angle that you can think of.
The program offers mirroring right from the start, so your faces will be perfectly symmetrical. You can turn off the symmetry for things like scars or otherwise.
It takes a little time. For instance, I downloaded the program on Christmas and, in my spare time, this took a few days of getting familiar with the program (first day) and then sculpting for a few minutes each day, mostly due to my perfectionist nature. And this one isn’t even done. I still have to mold the mouth, ears, and other smaller aspects before I consider it done. However, I was so giddy over the possibilities that I wanted to share this with my fellow artists.
From now on, I have reference for a face in my own style and will be able to create things so much easier in the future.
I hope that this helps you guys and that you have fun with it.
This really useful oh my goodness. It takes a little figuring out, but once you get the hang of it it’s actually pretty easy. Just watch a couple youtube videos. Seeing how other people do it helps you to make sense of it.
OH BOY LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME SILLY do you know how hard his stupid face is to figure out at different angles? DO YOU??? Now I have a 3D ref!!! AAAHH!! so excite much 3d wow very angles wow
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: sculptris is an amazing 3D modeling tool for how small it is and is a great place to start whether you just want drawing references for your characters or you actually want to get into 3D modeling.
FYI: a MAP is the name p*dos came up with to sound more acceptable. It means ‘Minor Attracted Person.’ If you see a MAP, it’s okay to punch/castrate them
SO! The TSS Fanworks Collective Discord is full of awesome creators who write a whole ton of stuff, and also happens to have me, so I thought I’d collect a few stories to recommend from authors in the server. There’s a lot to go through, so for this rec list I am mostly sticking to stories either based on server prompts or developed at least partially on or because of the server. Genres and AUs may vary, but the quality of writing remains the same, and by the same I mean great.

Three Minutes Less - Fangirlwriting - in which Remus makes a deal with a demon to save his brother’s life. Angst and hurt/comfort, TW for suicide, REALLY good.
