went a bit overboard but I'm really happy with this! It's Princetrio!

Originally started out as an idea to have Icarus and Rae half and half and then I realized that oh hey, Athena's also there, and deserves to be drawn! overall happier with this than the original version!

Text says "Searching for the truth" !

tehe I love this!! I did humanoids! WOOOO

Enderian design!! I really wanted to make her look more like THE END rather than just an ender lady. Incorporated more of those endstone/end portal colors into her design. And I tried to make the crown reminiscent of those obsidian spires found on end islands.

Did you ever truly expect a happy ending?

After years of being lost upon the sea,

staring up at the endless blanket of stars,

mapping your way back home, awake in the dark

a cat curled in your lap as you banished any panic attacks

both tears and a smile on your face as the memories slowly elapsed

back into your mind, memories of a time, when things were at least

"alright"

But now they're more than alright

you're in your partners arms tonight,

arms that have not held you in a terrifyingly long amount of time,

arms that are almost too warm for you to relax,

because in a moment's instant, you might wake up and realize

that you never had them back.

But they're real, they're here,

holding you close and warm

with kisses on your scars and sweet words upon their tongues'

with smiles as bright as quartz in the light,

and eyes glittering like all the stars in the sky,

you hum a thought into the night,

ever so grateful for the stars in the sky.

FAIRY AU FAIRY AU FAIRY AU

Every single time I see a take that amounts to "if you write about X happening, or like fiction where X happens, you like X" I'm reminded of this one time I was at a casual friends house as a young kid. We were in her room, pretending to "be orphans" escaping from an evil orphanage and having to take care of each other and fend for ourselves. It was all very Little Orphan Annie/All Dogs Go to Heaven and based on the 80s pop media.

And this girl's mom comes in, hears what we're playing and gets all MAD and UPSET. She says that if we play act something, it's because we want it to happen. So her daughter must WANT HER TO DIE.

First off lady, we were 6 year year olds, so take it down several notches. We barely had a concept of mortality for fucks sake. She made us feel so guilty and ashamed, because she was taking our game personally.

Now I have a 5 year old. And sometimes she looks at me and says "pretend you're dead, and I have to -" Whatever it is. Some adult task she's assigned herself.

And it's just so transparently obvious that she's practicing the idea of having to do things on her own. Which is exactly what 5 year olds are supposed to do. I actually find it very flattering that the only way she can envision me not being available to help her is to be literally deceased. Otherwise, obviously, she wouldn't have to do scary hard things alone.

It's a natural coping mechanism. She's self-soothing about what would happen if I wasn't there by play-acting independence in a perfectly safe environment. She's also practicing skills she needs, and making up excuses for practicing them on her own, without taking on the responsibility of being able to do them by herself all the time yet.

Humans mentally rehearse bad this in their brains all the time. We can do that by ruminating- going over worries over and over again, which tends to lead to anxiety and helplessness and depression. Or we can do it with a sense of play- by recognizing that the fiction is fiction and we can dip our toe into these experiences and expose ourselves to bad things without actually being injured.

My daughter does not want me dead. And I don't want bad things to happen in real life. But fiction and pretend help me face the horrors of the world and think about them without collapsing or messing myself up mentally.

I ever so gently hold up Aura anatomy study

Sometimes when I do these I think about throwing my own body type at them, and because Aura is so similar it was tempting.

edit: I didn’t call Aura Rae what could you ever be talking about

Worked on this all day, fanart of all of @heyhay13 characters from the various Smp's. I had another of fun drawing all the characters and their different designs.
