Ways “I love you” is said in Arcane (because those words were never actually said in a show all about love)
“Always with ya sis, even when we’re worlds apart.”
“Still got your insides kid?”
“I am the dirt under your nails Cupcake, nothing’s gonna get me out.”
“Always a dance with you.”
“I’ll never forget this.”
“Don’t cry, you’re perfect.”
“You are the wolf.”
“In all timelines, in all possibilities, only you could show me this.”
“You were never broken Viktor.”
“I would’ve never given you up, not for anything.”
"You have a good heart. Don't ever lose it. No matter what this world does to you."
"Ever since you dropped into my life, it's like I put on glasses..Except, I can't tell whether everything's blurry or clear."
“I must say, since I’ve met you lad, I’ve truly lived.”
“There is no force in this world that can control you. You will never be a passenger.”
“I’ve never seen you give up on anything Ekko.”
“Your ideas change the world. I can’t shake the feeling that that’s who you’re supposed to be.”

some Persephone doodles with characters from her backstory
+REALLY LONG PERSEPHONE BACKSTORY
Childhood
Around 9:23 Dragon an abandoned elven baby was found inside a Grand Necropolis tomb after undead workers spotted a group of spirits lurking above it. After closer inspection it was discovered that those spirits were healing an infant as it was close to dying. She was quickly rushed to the hospital after being handed to Mourn Watchers. 
Persephone’s condition 
Persephone was born with a deadly autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, largely affecting her mobility and some vital organs. The parts of her that are affected the most are her hearing, speaking, spine, heart, and legs. The only reason why Persephone was able to live so long is because of her connection to the spirits and their desire to help her. 
Due to her condition affecting her mobility, Persephone spent the majority of her childhood in a hospital bed. When it was discovered that she was a mage, they decided to educate Persephone at the hospital instead of the circle—mostly because it’s dangerous for her to be out of medical watch 24/7. They weren’t worried about Persephone being dangerous due to her weak constitution and meek nature (and because they assumed she wouldn’t last long). It was also the perfect chance to observe the magical/spiritual anomalies surrounding Persephone, as it seemed that the spirits were drawn to her— sometimes even protecting her.
Unbeknownst to her caretakers, Persephone was secretly a dreamer. Every time she slept she would enter the Fade, and because she couldn't do much but sleep… it was often. She considered her powers both a blessing and a curse. While she was subjugated to the dangers of demons trying to possess her, she also was free in the Fade. Free from her colorless hospital bed, and free from her dying body. 
In the Fade, she obtained the knowledge and friendship from all kinds of spirits. It’s where she learned forgotten magic and alchemy, and where she forged connections with the spirits that kept her alive. It’s also where she encountered demons, and how they would tempt her regularly. Ironically, those years of attempted exploitation made her unaffected by manipulation tactics— and actually taught her those same tactics to use on others.
Adolescent
To the doctors’ surprise, Persephone managed to outlive all her predicted death dates, and even started to improve to the point of being able to walk with a cane. Mostly because of the help of benevolent spirits keeping her alive. Overall, Persephone’s time at the hospital was a grim one. She was very neglected and even mistreated, mostly due to the fact that she is an elven mage. Sometimes she wouldn’t even get necessary treatment because she wasn’t able to pay for it. It wasn’t until her mentor became her benefactor that she was able to afford better treatment, even if it was just a little bit. 
Even though she spent more time befriending spirits, she did have someone close to her outside of the Fade. An orphaned Qunari boy named Yagari–another chronically ill patient in the hospital. Due to their similar upbringings they were able to bond quickly. They were inseparable (when Persephone was able to leave her hospital room), and Yagari was the only one who knew that Persephone is a dreamer. Unfortunately for Yagari, he wasn’t able to fight his illness and eventually passed–making sure Persephone promised that she’d live long. This event stuck with Persephone and is the sole reason she fights so hard to live. 
As Persephone’s mental health deteriorated, she was assigned a new primary care physician. This man was the worst doctor she was ever assigned to due to his neglectful and abusive behavior–mostly because she was an elf. This constant mistreatment was slowly breaking Persephone, both physically and mentally. So much so, she turned to learning blood magic.
In the Fade, Persephone accepted the knowledge of any Spirit that would help her, demons excluded. It was also where she learned that to permanently heal her body, she’d have to change her body’s genetic structure itself–meaning blood magic. It wasn’t until the doctor physically attacked her to cause her to perform her first blood ritual. It was sloppy, unplanned. But by killing the doctor, Persephone was able to (temporarily) heal her body. It’s also why Persephone has white hair–she tried to target the gene that could replace her genetic mutation but accidentally targeted a hair gene instead in her outburst. 
Cue evil persephone time
After her frenzy, Persephone was able to cover up the murder and was able to convince manipulate the hospital and the Mortalitasi that the doctor assaulted her and performed blood magic. It didn’t help that the doctor had a violent reputation, Persephone had clear signs of bruising on her body, and that there was no body to be found. They also couldn’t believe that the ‘shy’ and ‘passive’ Persephone was physically and magically capable of overpowering the doctor due to his size. The whole event caused a whole scandal at the hospital— with riots outside of it. After a thorough investigation, alibis from her mentor and even spirits, and the public outcry, Persephone was deemed innocent– and eventually discharged from the hospital because the blood ritual seemingly ‘cured’ her of her condition.
But Persephone knew better. That her short time of painless bliss would expire if she didn’t act fast. 
Adulthood  
Due to her connections with the Mourn Watch (her mentor), Persephone eventually became an apprentice to the organization. Fortunately for her, she was able to get a steady supply of blood and body parts because of their anatomical research departments. In secret, Persephone would steal small increments of whatever she needed, and performed blood rituals on her body–breaking herself apart and putting herself back together again. However, her excessive use of blood magic and the fact that she’s a dreamer made her even more susceptible to demons, in both the fade and the physical world. She knew that she needed a permanent solution soon before she succumbed to their temptations or died by their hands. It was either attempting to steal a whole donated body from the Mourn Watch or killing someone–both of which were practically impossible for Persephone to pull off without getting caught. She was so close to giving up, but it was then when she heard of an artifact that could delay her death.
Persephone heard word of a black market Tevinter merchant trying to pitch a deal in Nevarra. He was known for his obsessive collection of  elven artifacts and was actually trying to sell one to the Mourn Watch– an artifact that could heal any physical wound. So before the merchant left, Persephone used her powers as a dreamer to control and manipulate him to give the artifact to her instead. For the next few months, Persephone would hear rumors of the crazed Tevinter merchant in Nevarra blabbing about his lost artifact. After obtaining the artifact, Persephone performed one last blood ritual to permanently fuse the artifact to herself–halting her illness from spreading any further again. 
About the artifact
The artifact is fused onto Persephone’s heart and lungs. It can heal any physical wound but it can’t genetically change her mutation, so she’s healing herself constantly. However everytime it heals, the artifact drains a part of her lifespan— the price to pay for such magic.
Persephone’s time as a Mourn Watcher was boring and tedious. She wasn’t able to make many friends because of the rumors of the blood ritual regarding her time at the hospital, and even when she made friends they weren’t particularly close. She was mostly assigned to deal with hauntings because of her unusually skilled combat and knowledge against them. She was a valued member, but not a popular one.
The one place she was accepted was her own clinic. After saving enough money, Persephone opened up her own clinic to the general public. She wanted to create a place where people can be treated fairly without fear of compensation. She garnered enough attention to get a few trusted employees who had similar ideals and are sympathizers to Persephone’s past. The clinic runs on donations and Persephone’s own wallet
And then the War of Banners occurred and she was able to use her connections with the spirits to lead an undead army to defeat the rebellion. Then she met Varric, and the rest was history.
this was supposed to be a small summary but i ended up writing a bit too much ;-;

Client sketch vs. final illustration
When someone commissions me, I absolutely love getting a rough sketch/doodle of their concept—it makes the first steps of an illustration (composition/posing) so much easier.
I'll never ever judge a client for a messy sketch!! (And also, no pressure to send something like this if you'd like the artist to take the creative reins on your piece.)

decided to put these in a bit of a chronological order as i can’t help but form a story behind the scenes. it’s a storyteller’s habit. and yeah i do have an idea i would genuinely like to explore with gail simone as a crossover comic. 
i don’t want to be the writer for this. but at the same time i always found diving into these things and exploring the character chemistry was the best way to get an artistic feeling for it.
this is also how i usually develop my own stories.
anyhow, while many think this is me drawing some shipping, in fact this a proof of concept for an adventure story  featuring lara and diana. Gail simone at some point asked if they would kiss and i gave it some genuine thought. i am a character first kind of a writer, myself, so i contemplated this. then i decided, yes, probably.
after all, romantic subplots have been the bread and butter of adventure writing since its inception and i always liked that aspect of adventure stories.
 i hope this puts some things in context from my end XD
and while there will probably be a few more of these, there will be no nsfw pics. after all, camera pans away from indiana jones in those moments as well  XD
okay… there may be a chance of a kiss… but that’s about it.  (edit, i added the rest of them here along with the antagonist)

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

IT'S FINALLY HERE! 😍
I must share my ongoing obsession with a certain ice mage and my version of Rook! As her surname suggests, she's the child of my Niamh Cousland and Leliana in this particular AU I've written about, where Niamh is the werewolf and her mate Leliana is a thousand-year old vampire. Let's just Saoibh definitely takes after her mother in the sense that they love older, dangerous vampire women with hearts of gold... 😏
You can definitely see Saoibh's personality come through with that playful, smitten grin of hers along with her wolfy shadow in the background there. She definitely lives up to the moniker of Trouble in every way, shape, and form, and I like to think that Neve enjoys the unexpected thrill adds to her life after so many centuries of careful certainty. I mean, we gained massive approval from her when we punched the First Warden, right? Gotta love the scrappy underdog! 😂
I'll reveal more about Neve's and Rook's roles in the AU over the next week or so, but I've had so many plot bunnies about these two lately that I couldn't help but ask Marty to take on a commission with them! As always, her attention to detail is always top-notch! I love how everything turned out in this! Honestly, whether it's with canon characters or original ones, she never fails to exceed my expectations with what I'm looking for.
