SHOTS. SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS. dol is already drunk

Hey, my dudes, like the Devil’s Nest? Like the chimeras? Like the chimeras doing drinky drinks? Like the 2.0 chimeras not letting a petulant Greedling do drinky drinks because he’s An Actual Baby™? Then you should preorder a copy of the Devil’s Nest Zine!

It’s seventy pages, featuring art and fic from 40 contributors, with content for both the Devil’s Nest chimeras and Team Greed (and his Greedness himself). It’s an amazing book, guys. We worked really hard to put this zine together, and I promise it’s so worth the money. All of which will be going to the Los Angeles Farm Sanctuary, so you’d be doing it for the animals.

More sales unlocks some really awesome additional bonus merch, but preorders are only open through October 31st, so grab a copy and pass on the word!

My 10% off discount code is WOLVES10, but you can hit up any of the contributors for their individual coupon if you want to support your favorite artist or writer.

Thank you guys again so much!

This piece isn’t in the book it’s just my weird brand of guerilla marketing jkfgjkf

[wolveswithhats]

hello, police? i’d like to turn myself in, i’ve committed a heinous crime.

[wolveswithhats]

living my best life, i was on top, right? sipping the limelight, a deer in the headlights

I’ve had “Oh My Dear Lord” by the Unlikely Candidates on heavy rotation for about a month now, because it’s a great Greed song and a total jam.

[wolveswithhats]

can we see greed/ling (either/both) and mei hanging out? being sibs? greed being protective? (they're cute don't look at me)

NAW DUDE I FEEL YOU. IT IS THE CUTEST?? I GOT YOU. All a part of the Greed Revival AU.

Ling and Mei at a lantern festival, after they gave the royal guard the slip (Lan Fan is going to be so mad). Neither wants a big fanfare about royal attendance with a cavalcade of escorts, they just want to go be normal kids for once.

Royal Guard!Greed being protective. Not sure of the circumstances. Assassination attempt? He’s not allowed to have a normal sword because he’s overly theatrical and the number of times he’s almost sliced off his own limbs off is staggering. You’re human now, man, they aren’t going to grow back. So he gets a long-handled sword.

And then Greed being obnoxiously overprotective and completely mortifying.

This scenario is going to end with him eating pavement once Mei loses her patience and kicks him across the room, leaving a rain of wrapped condoms in his wake.

guys i’m actually starting to have fun with traditional?? i’m like a kid with fingerpaint. or in this case, india ink!

[wolveswithhats]

i will crack this traditional art thing if it kills me. or more likely i will keep at it for two more days and abandon it forever once i can use my tablet again. colored pencils are harsh, man.

[wolveswithhats]

I tried to fix up that sketch from this morning. I still maintain that you traditional artists are god-tier because the difficulty curve is so much higher than digital.

It looks like, three percent better? If I’m being generous? Traditional is super hard??

[wolveswithhats]

Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely over the moon about Locke’s addition to NT, but his character design is just a smidge too clean and polished for a so-called “trail-worn traveler.”

I tend more towards a real mud-slung adventurer type who hasn’t shaved in weeks and cuts his own hair with a knife because he’s been sleeping in the woods and could not be bothered to care what he looks like. He probably smells like worn leather and campfire smoke and has greasy river-washed hair. There’s blood and dirt under his nails because he hunts for his own food, and his pack is equal parts salted meats and found relics. He might leave room for clean underclothes, but not much else. He’s a real sloppy lad, a scruff lord. That’s my boy.

[wolveswithhats]

Are you still taking sketch requests? If so, can I ask for Spike and Cordelia teaming up to roast someone together?

“Look at the big oaf, busting out of that shirt like Banner paused halfway to Hulk. For his sake, hope the tyke is more grandmum than gorilla, and doesn’t inherit that massive cavebrow.”

“I’m sorry, are rippling biceps a problem now? If anything’s going to be an issue for Connor, it’s “Uncle” Spike’s hideously dated fashion influences and smelly cigarettes. And comic book references, really? Have you been possessed by the nerd spirit of Xander Harris, or have you finally given up on pretending to be even remotely cool?”

“….point.”

I couldn’t figure out when in the timeline they’d ever really cross paths, so went with one of those general AUs where Spike bounces from Sunnydale after Dead Things and tentatively settles in with the Fang Gang.

Cordy feels kind of bad for him, but not enough that she’s not willing to throw some zingers his way. So I guess this is less a tag-team roasting and more Spike roasting Angel, only to be instantly deflected by Cordelia. I tried.

draw our favorite xingese bodyguard (bonus for her blushing/smiling, that’s my fav expression on her)

HOW ABOUT BOTH

[wolveswithhats]

in which the tail end of puberty hits ling like a bus, and he winds up riDICULOUSLY TALL.

you’re never gonna catch up, sorry, ed.

[xing-side]

Based on this, I want to express my headcanon that Lan Fan’s growth gets stunted because of the weight of her automail (which to be frank, looks like its heavier than Ed’s initial automail that had also been criticized as being too heavy). She wants to punch something when this fact causes yet another comparison to Ed, but she doesn’t actually mind. Ling draping himself over Lan Fan is adorable omg. 

[wolveswithhats]

OH….I…really, really like that! I know that girls tend to go through puberty earlier than boys (I hit my very impressive peak height of 5'2" when i was twelve or thirteen), but I definitely like the idea of a growth stunt. I tend to headcanon her as a little older than Ling, six months to a year, and his physical aging was kind of put on pause while he was merged with Greed. So he might still have a few years of puberty left, while she probably already finished. The automail was just the nail in the coffin of anymore physical growth.

I was looking at the final epilogue photo, and it looks like Mei comes up to Al’s nose, so if he’s 5'10", she’s probably…5'5"? Maybe 5'6"? IDK I’m using some height comparison chart and eyeballing it. EITHER WAY, there’s a strong possibility that Mei will also be taller than Lan Fan, which is kind of adorable and I love?

I also love your continued quirk of having greed wear clothes like dead people

dfkjdfkdsfds THANK YOU. It’s his own weird way of honoring his dead friends and poking fun of himself for dying multiple times, but no one understands it but Ling, mostly because he’s too stubborn to explain it. HE AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THAT SORT OF THING. FEELINGS ARE HARD.

He does have and wear other clothes, including probably more traditional western shirts, but he’s always going to intentionally wear hanfu style shirts incorrectly. He’s probably just a disrespect little shit in every capacity.

Lan Fan: You’re on duty, please put your shirt and armor back on.

Greed, who won’t stop flexing: I’m wORKING ON MY TAN

Lan Fan: It’s the middle of winter

Greed: *flexing, shivering*

tl;dr: A SUMMARY OF A GARBAGE MAN

[wolveswithhats]

more greed revival au trash (it’s been aaaaages) because i don’t like that so many post-series xingese-centric fanfic are mean and dismissive of greed.

cherished friend to the emperor, absolute nuisance to everyone else.

[wolveswithhats]

more scribbles from that roommates au that somehow took a sharp detour from “HA HA WOULDN’T IT BE FUNNY IF TOO MANY PETS”  into “dark, gritty crime syndicate narrative.” i have no control over my own plotlines anymore apparently.

[wolveswithhats]

*dumptrucks another AU or eight*

poor college kid ling desperately needs housing so rents a room from some older dude who has an absolute zoo of chimeras animal rescues. only serial killers have that many pets, right? he’s going to end up on the eleven o'clock news, chopped up into doggie chow and fed to this man’s fur babies, but for $300 with utilities, he’s willing to take the risk.

the guy is admittedly kind of weird (what kind of nickname is greed?), has sex at strange, inconvenient hours, and grasps the concept of personal space and sharing about as well as a toddler (the nickname is suddenly making a lot more sense)–

but it turns out greed’s pretty cool. he actually owns the pub they live above, and supplies ling with a job, and free food, and booze, which is a godsend for a broke student on a ramen budget. he seems to “forget” to collect rent a lot, but ling’s starting to cotton on that he doesn’t actually need the extra money, and having a roommate and Too Many Pets is to quell his overwhelming loneliness. he's almost positive greed’s not even aware of it himself, or is in complete denial about it. it’s a pretty beneficial arrangement for both of them.

[wolveswithhats]

greed and ling are best friends, but i really wish greedling went up north or something so he could have had a fur coat

did someone say

FUR COAT???

[wolveswithhats]

the worst headcanon: those are greed’s actual drawings and all his art looks like it belongs on the back of a denny’s kids menu

[wolveswithhats]

idk it’s a locke or something
