Should I say anything here?

That's so sweet🥰

In case anyone didn't know, you can get this post by having Sylus' card from this multi-banner, a wedding dress, and a red crystal background for this event. And, of course, the pose where our cute dragon kneels down.

It's actually so cute. And I like Sylus' response to Kieran's comment. Of course, it had to happen sooner or later. 💖🐉

He sat motionless, fingers wrapped around a glass of whiskey, the ice inside nearly melted.

One name kept spinning in his head like a broken record.

Jane Briar.

His new partner.

The irony was almost cruel.

Jane — the girl he grew up with.

Jane — the one he loved, hated, tried to forget… and never could.

She had lived under his skin all this time. In every silent dream, in every breath.

He missed her so much it hurt.

And he was furious —

For leaving.

For not staying.

For choosing her gift over him.

And now she was back.

Here. Real.

As if none of it ever happened.

He had no idea what to say.

How to look into her eyes and not give himself away.

How to hold back the storm clawing its way up his throat — the joy, the rage, the longing, the fear.

He was happy. He was furious.

And completely, hopelessly lost.

How do you breathe when the past comes back — so vividly alive?

I just want to run away with him in this dress.

This dragon has finally found his treasure, he's so gentle 🥺🥺

[clarevins]

Just look how in love he is...🥺🥺🥺💔💔💔

[clarevins]

Just watched K-pop Demon Hunters and I’m OBSESSED — of course I had to draw them too. Count me in the fanartist squad 🔥🖤

[clarevins]

He wasn’t jealous. Just not used to sharing what once felt like his.

Jack Nightwood. Wip✏️

Jack always stands just a little closer to her than he should.

A little closer than the rules — or common sense — would allow.

They never talk about feelings.

But the moment she speaks, he listens like the rest of the world goes silent.

He’s always serious.

Except when he looks at her. Then something shifts in his eyes — something he’ll never dare to name.

She smiles at others.

But he smiles at her — that rare, barely-there kind of smile she always catches, as if by instinct.

They pretend there’s nothing between them but work.

But when she’s near, he forgets to be careful.

And she forgets to be afraid.

He doesn’t wear charms or wards.

Except for her name — which seems to linger on his tongue, even when he never says it out loud.

She tells everyone he’s stubborn and closed off.

And only she knows that behind his silence live a thousand words, all meant for her.

They’ll never confess.

Because they both know: once it’s said out loud, it will be too real.

Stabilizers. Blue lights scattered across the city like threads holding the world together.

They don’t save us. They only buy us time.”

More lore and glimpses into Katoptrium’s world soon.

Have you ever thought that maybe those creatures aren’t actually evil?”

Jane squinted toward the old house they had just cleared — monsters dealt with, the rift sealed.

“Like… what if they’re just scared of us? And maybe they have social anxiety or something?”

Jack slowly turned his head toward her. Paused. Tilted his head slightly, trying to figure out if she was being serious.

“It tried to swallow me whole, Jane. With fangs. And foam. And screaming.”

“Well… maybe that was a cry for help?”

“Pretty sure help doesn’t usually start with trying to bite off someone’s leg.”

When Jane is an empath, and Jack’s just… a realist.

(Or maybe he just doesn’t want to get eaten.)😅😅

[clarevins]

Jack Nightwood — a man of few words, but he always hears when someone calls for help.

He can’t cook, doesn’t believe in magic crystals, and double-checks under the table—for traps, just in case.

He works as a protector for the Agency, though he could’ve lived in a penthouse, sipping wine from crystal glasses.

Instead, he chose weapons, combat gear, and black coffee.

He chose to stand with those who can’t stand on their own.

Maybe once his reasons were more selfish.

But he’d never say it. Not out loud.

He always carries:

• a revolver loaded with enchanted bullets

• a notebook full of thoughts no one gets to read

• a pendant whose meaning only he knows

(and maybe, someday—she will too.)

Jack doesn’t talk about himself.

But he’ll always have your back.

As long as your light burns—

he’ll walk beside you.

Silently.

With a steady hand

and a shadow inside.

[clarevins]

It was just a splash, Jack. Don’t be so dramatic.

You look just as handsome as you did when you were dry.”

“I look like I’m running out of patience.

A little break from the usual dark rifts and shadowy realms…

Here’s a fun Mermay piece featuring my original characters Jane and Jack —

because even magical agents need bath time (and chaos) sometimes.

[clarevins]

Did you see that? 🥹🥹🥹🥹 he damn sure looked at her lips.

Someday I'll stop to revisit this moment over and over again, but not today.

Wrap this man up for me, please.

[clarevins]

Rifts appear where the fabric of reality grows too thin.

And then the Mirror World draws closer—

so close, you can no longer trust your reflection.

“Katoptrium: Heart of the Rift” — stories from a world where reflections twist the truth,

and boundaries crack under the weight of magic and pain.

Я тут постепенно хочу воплощать в реальность свой графический роман и все его сопровождающие вещи, поэтому буду постепенно делиться тем что есть)

И сегодня первое знакомство с одним из главных персонажей🥰

Знакомьтесь, Джейн Брайер)

Это Джейн Брайер — маг, которая верит, что даже самые мрачные дни можно осветить чашкой хорошего чая, искренней заботой и капелькой магии.

Она умеет закрывать порталы в Зеркальный Мир… но при этом может забыть, куда положила свою любимую баночку с чаем «Для тех, кто не выспался, но старается».

У Джейн есть подвеска, которая светится, когда рядом происходит что-то потустороннее.

А ещё — целый арсенал милых привычек:

— она оставляет стикеры с напоминаниями… себе и другим,

— коллекционирует кристаллы, потому что каждый «настраивает на нужную волну»,

— и почти всегда найдёт повод зажечь свечу, особенно если рядом кто-то нервничает (да, Джек — это про тебя).

Она — свет в команде. Но не наивный. Упрямый, искренний, чуть рассеянный и по-настоящему сильный.

[clarevins]

И… я должна сказать, что это моя новая любимая карточка. И вы видели? Он сказал ей что может быть ее притягивает его мир с драконами, потому что ей кажется это знакомым.

А еще я рада, что это был не сон. И наконец-то они смогли вдоволь поваляться в цветах. И два поцелуя за раз - это просто 🙂‍↕️🫠🫠🫠

[clarevins]

Итак, у меня есть несколько моментов с нового ивента к ДР Сайлуса с которых я пищала как котенок 🥹 Они такие милые, это не слезы, просто дракон попал в глаза.

И да, я получила эту карточку и снова кричу от восторга🥹🫠

[clarevins]

Я тут не показывала, но на самом деле я добралась до ProcreateDreams и сделала из иллюстрации анимацию, потому как интересно было уже попробовать эту программу для анимирования.

Так что теперь Рейн и Маттео не только оказались на балу, но еще и чуточку ожили) Музыку правда не добавила здесь, но это уже другая история)
