Alas! I've been holding onto this portrait I did of Vilkas for a while now. I really wanted to give him a face loyal to his model (I didn't put the face paint on this PNG however, but I included a screenshot of when I did)

Added my personal touches here and there, like giving the eyes a pure grayscale palette (I headcanon he and Farkas descended from Ysgramor's royal line and that's actually a trademark of the clan!), some scars, and uh CLEANING him 😭

Screenshot below of the facepaint version

ultimately the truth about frankenstein is that we are all grotesque amalgamations of the best and worst parts of everyone who came before us. and sometimes the people who are supposed to love us because of and in spite of this will not. and we can kill them with hammers for that. and i think that’s beautiful

Victor Frankenstein syndrome aka you spent nights over nights crying and bleeding over this work and now that it's finally done you're just like "nvm. it's trash" and go to bed

i had a dream last night, and normally all my dreams are lame as hell or i dont remember them at all, BUT this one was so good i want to remember it, SO it started off i was like reincarnated sorta but i was the same i just had long hair again and was stupid, but the main part was that when i was reborn i come back with a lil magical pet and the pet was one of those big car sponges but a salamander or lizard or something and it looked like this

but then there was a mess of some kind behind our stairs where we couldn't clean it and we asked him to clean it for us (he can't talk he just went like "blub blub")

he had a great time time doing it, he was happy about it like he just ate a big meal or something, but then he was all gross so i put him in a bucket and then i rinsed him in the sink and left to go do more boring things while he dried out in the light of the window

thank you

fem reader for this one guys BUT imagine having a kid and one day you go into his room (like you always do) but this time your little son has a picture of your family drawn! aww how cute-

"mommy, my friend jim says you look pretty today ☺️"

"t-that's very nice of him honey! ahaha..."

what. the. fuck.

you head to tell your husband this dreadful news. what the hell is your kid talking about??? is this a case of psychosis?? schizophrenia?? or even worse... is it some sort of demon haunting your darling child?!

"darling! look at what our child has drawn! isn't this a cause for concern?"

"yeah that's just jim, i regularly fist fight him to see who gets to be the man of the house. we stalemate all the time."

"babe what the FUCK do you mean you fist fight him."

turns out your worst fears have come through but the demon isn't there to hurt your child but there to... take over your husband's place as his new father??? and to be your new husband???

and your husband knows this???

what the actual fuck???

you're terrified, shaking and trembling at the mere thought of a demon being anywhere near your child. and no, this isn't one of those hot anime boys that's slightly scary type shit. this is DEMON monster standing in your bedroom at night crawled out of your nightmares type shit.

so when you have your first encounter with him you expected anything but this.

"AHHH-"

"oh!"

he's... surprisingly chill??? meanwhile your human husband has never been this chill??? he's like, lowkey crazy if you're being honest. chasing away any other guys, hissing at them...

"babe why the HELL are you holding hands with JIM."

"he gave me a flower babe, look!"

"you... you vile BEAST! HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY WIFE, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU."

Emotional Walls Your Character Has Built (And What Might Finally Break Them)

(How your character defends their soft core and what could shatter it) Because protection becomes prison real fast.

✶ Sarcasm as armor. (Break it with someone who laughs gently, not mockingly.) ✶ Hyper-independence. (Break it with someone who shows up even when they’re told not to.) ✶ Stoicism. (Break it with a safe space to fall apart.) ✶ Flirting to avoid intimacy. (Break it with real vulnerability they didn’t see coming.) ✶ Ghosting everyone. (Break it with someone who won’t take silence as an answer.) ✶ Lying for convenience. (Break it with someone who sees through them but stays anyway.) ✶ Avoiding touch. (Break it with accidental, gentle contact that feels like home.) ✶ Oversharing meaningless things to hide real depth. (Break it with someone who asks the second question.) ✶ Overworking. (Break it with forced stillness and the terrifying sound of their own thoughts.) ✶ Pretending not to care. (Break it with a loss they can’t fake their way through.) ✶ Avoiding mirrors. (Break it with a quiet compliment that hits too hard.) ✶ Turning every conversation into a joke. (Break it with someone who doesn’t laugh.) ✶ Being everyone’s helper. (Break it when someone asks what they need, and waits for an answer.) ✶ Constantly saying “I’m fine.” (Break it when they finally scream that they’re not.) ✶ Running. Always running. (Break it with someone who doesn’t chase, but doesn’t leave, either.) ✶ Intellectualizing every feeling. (Break it with raw, messy emotion they can’t logic away.) ✶ Trying to be the strong one. (Break it when someone sees the weight they’re carrying, and offers to help.) ✶ Hiding behind success. (Break it when they succeed and still feel empty.) ✶ Avoiding conflict at all costs. (Break it when silence causes more pain than the truth.) ✶ Focusing on everyone else’s healing but their own. (Break it when they hit emotional burnout.)
