part of the reason I think it’s so sad that we collectively write so few stories about unrequited love is bc I feel like there’s very little public acknowledgment of how much it sucks to be the one somebody is in unrequited love with??? and not in a way of like, oh they’re crossing boundaries or putting expectations on me or whatever. becoming close friends with someone and then finding out they’re in love with you and you don’t love them back the same way is heartbreaking, bc a) someone you love is in pain and there is literally nothing you can do about it, and b) it usually means that whether you like it or not there’s going to be distance in your friendship that wasn’t there before as they try to get over you. idk man I just feel like we’ve all discussed the tragedy of loving someone who doesn’t love you back quite a lot and very rarely discuss the tragedy of finding out the way that you love someone just isn’t enough.

You've heard of cuddling for warmth, you've heard of cuddling to stop bad dreams, now get ready for: cuddling so you have sth to hold and don't curl up like a shrimp in the night making your chest hurt in the morning

Many thoughts already on the new season but- Nandor brought a metric fuck ton of dirt back with him from Al Quolindar and I assume this is for his wife when he turns them. It's possible the logistics of vampire lore can be stretched and worked around more than we know🤔

There's too many moments in just the first 3 eps that I could point to or talk about here but tbh I'm just happy so see our little rascal on screen again

Also, I stand by the fact that Nandor wanted to turn Guillermo in his home country because he wants them to share ancestral soil so they can sleep in the same coffin because HE'S A CUDDLE BUG WHO CRAVES AFFECTION AND COMPANIONSHIP AND YOU CANNOT TELL ME OTHERWISE

More design work from after getting more world information. Haven't decided on a patron yet so I messed with a few to see what themes I could incorporate into outfits

I don't design clothes often, especially robes and vestments so this was definitely a challenge but a fun exercise nonetheless

Ironing out his design- his name is A(i)r f(ry)e(r)

Purple lighting one is baby Arfe :)))

Arfe after a long stretch of not doing any art

Decided early on I'd be extra with the rendering because I needed to practice

He's gradually changed from classic dnd goblin to a blue gremlin pattern and coloration-wise, it's funny

Figuring out details with Jericho still, not sure if I'll make them Stretch Armstrong or not so we'll see.

It's probably just my traditional line-art bias but I'm partial to short king on the left

Also found a song that is so fucking perfect for them and if I felt I were capable I'd make an animation or something to it but alas I am not. Maybe one day I'll try, but until then I'll just keep listening to Like Real People Do on repeat
