“Oh my fucking god. That is – how long have you been watching me?” Vox stammered, Alastor tilting his head as he glanced over at the grandfather clock near his mantle. [...]

“Not long. Thirty-two minutes,” Alastor responded.

Valastor week Day 6 - Polyamory @valastorweekofficial

Based on this thread I wrote earlier in the week with the premise that Alastor starts dating Valentino and Velvette months before letting Vox join their polycule. Vox sufferz greatly😆 I've got an nsft bonus doodle & textpost on my twt / bsky!

RadioSilence Week - Day 5: "I love you"/"I know"

What if Alastor wanted to reciprocate, but just wasn't able to? 🙃

This one is a little late, but at least I can now look at these and say "Take that, depression!" 😆

Lucifer pulling another creative all-nighter! He's been working hard, gotta take a quick smoke break with his best guy! (It's on my Redbubble as well)

I posted all the close-ups because I'm so proud of the secondary storytelling in this piece (Chaggie engagement subplot, the matching ducks, the Devil has ADHD and is finally going to therapy for it, hotel found family formation, etc)!

Deep Cut: Luci's portrait of him and Alastor is due to Radio Demon not showing well in photos - and this way Lu can draw him as pretty as he sees him! AND actually, the composition is based off Frank Dicksee's 'Paolo and Francesca' (who are a pair of doomed lovers from Dante's Inferno, encountered in Lust)

Was thinking about Octavia and Stolas and got sad about it 😭

Feelings and junk under the cut~

This one's been sitting awhile and in that time I've gone from feeling relatively certain about what I'm trying to express, to no longer having any idea what I'm expressing, to once again feeling kinda sure about it! It was meant as hopeful but I can't fully say it ended up that way; the little perspective shift at the end was originally intended as optimistic, because without it things felt to 'final', but in retrospect I might've just made it worse 😂 I had all kinds of feelings going into this, thinking about all the little private ways we try to measure our worth in other people's lives and how badly that can miss the mark, but more than anything I think I was trying to ask myself something from Octavia's perspective. When someone goes through something life-alteringly traumatic, eventually they always find a new normal. No matter how devastating something is in the moment, given time, things will always settle. So what does that feel like when you are the thing someone you love is 'settling' from? It's not fair to assume that someone's life is better without you in it just because they're still out there living. But what does it feel like, to see first-hand that they have either somewhat healed or hidden a wound that you carved in them yourself. Because you don't want them to hurt (well, you kinda do a little) but you also don't really want them to forget (even though you told them they should) and then it all becomes a jumbled mess in your head. Thankfully, I don't think Via and Stolas are going to be estranged long enough for this to become the kind of obstacle I'm portraying here. Pretty sure I accidentally stumbled into some of my own old teenage angst there - always a fun time 😂 I handled this a little clumsily, I think, and I have a few nitpicks with the formatting (beefing with past me's approach is a time-honored tradition for these things 😌) but it's sincere and I'm still happy with it~

I usually draw European Birds for Birds of the Week, but I do love birds from all around the world! And that's why I drew this Red-Winged Blackbird for my friend @phoenix-arising!

Thank you for giving me the inspiration to draw this, Phoenix! It's such a pretty bird~

[hocooart]

I haven't done a Birds of the Week in way too long (I am sorry!), but here's a batch of new birds! I can't garantuee a more regular posting schedule rn, but the birds have started repeating anyway, so I can catch up at my own pace :)

[hocooart]

You got me, I'm giving in!

Please keep the bird content coming for me~ 😆

We’re gonna getcha
