So, I know you've talked about how Jevil and Grillby's relationship is strained, but does Grillby ever warm up to him? In your fight comic, Jevils been shown to comfort Grillby, in small ways anyhow, lending him his cape and letting him mourn. You've stated how Jevil sympathizes with him. Does grillby ever do anything back? Does he ever comfort Jevil or help take care of him in any way?
Yes! Grillby did eventually warm up to him, although it took a while. And their relationship wasn't perfect after this event. There were still times afterwards where Grillby was in a low and hated Jevil all over again.. But this was the start.
The start to Grillby realizing that hating Jevil and being mean to him doesn't make him feel any better. And no matter how much he hates Jevil, its not gonna bring back what he lost. Its also getting harder and harder to hate Jevil anyways. He protects their group with all his might. And even with a horrible wound on his leg and exhaustion pulling at his soul.. he still stays up late to keep the fire going and guard the group.
And despite how mean Grillby has been, Jevil still treats him with the same care he does everyone else. Still sharing the same amount of food, still protecting him with all his might. Grillby doesn't understand why he does it. He doesn't know why Jevil would care about him despite how mean he's been. Why would Jevil be kind to him? Maybe that confusion is why that "thank you" made him light up so much. Its feels.. good, to be thanked. It feels good to be kind. Being kind feels much better than hating someone endlessly.
I have been postponing working on my thesis for months at this point, but I can and will write 40 pages of research reverse engineering the worldbuilding of a fantasy novel until I figure out which historical fashion styles, architecture and cultures are covered to make my fanart as least embarrassing as possible
My day was brightened by a couple of letters from dear friends. My best friend, who has been studying abroad, has been sending me a new post cared every few weeks to share with me some of her thoughts, and I feel like I am seeing her adventures from a privileged seat. It's just a couple of lines everytime but it's lovely. I have been wanting to write her a letter in a while, and I decided that part of my afternoon would be dedicated to that. I then got a letter from my beloved friend and penpal @oneardentstudybuddy, I cherish this letter exchange we have so much and I don't know if anything else brings me the same kind of joy I feel when I sit down with a cup of tea to read those letters.
cozy hobbit autumn activities:
read in the morning
worked on the last two lectures of my power practices and men theories class (I have still one hour-ish of the last lecture to work on, but that will be a tomorrow task)
daily Irish practice of duolingo
crochet + tma relistening
wrote a letter to a friend, which I will post as soon as I have written the other letter I want to send
today's self care:
took my meds
took a relaxing bath, and let me tell you I do need to take care of my body a bit more lately
FINISHED WORK?? on MY page??? it's far less likely than you'd think. and yet, somehow, here we are. :D
(well, finished enough to post and call "done", i should say. i may yet meddle with some details when i inevitably notice ten more flaws immediately after posting :D)
good old moss knight, such a devout follower of big slug. surely no wandering knight would ever end such a noble creature's life before he had the chance to speak with a certain fellow at a nearby bench! :D
this was essentially just me testing the waters with digital after some time avoiding it, and especially colours/lighting. it's been a while since i actually tried to make something fully fleshed out like this. i don't know, i feel like it could have come out worse :)
for the xbox 360 marketplace, of course. i decided to rush this one so that i could post it before the end of our inner children (wow so dramatic). at first it was just a simple kit fisto fanart, like the one i posted of maul, but then i thought about how the xbox 360's marketplace will end tomorrow. so i decided to turn it into a frutiger metro background with two kit fistos merging together. hope y'all like it.
Please pray that a complicated billing situation will be sorted out and covered by my insurance. It's for an ambulance ride I had in June for a panic attack. Some of you might remember me panicking about it a few months ago when I got the statement.
Billy closed the distance maybe faster than he was intending, and before he realized, he’d pulled the lad in, closing his arms around him. Clinging tighter than he had in a long while, maybe more given the change in strength. Ryan was solid, just as strong, just as… unbreakable. Billy couldn’t fight the pang in his chest. He wanted to say the words, but his mouth wouldn’t even let them stumble out. Part of him just wanted Ryan to stay. His breath hitched when Ryan hugged him back, and he had to fight his own eyes watering and his throat closing up, his own will to break down…
with the cunt(you know the one<3):
“Oi.”
Half a pivot to turn around–right into Billy’s hard fist.
It was just enough to make him stagger, put shock and rage in his eyes even as he saw it coming–and put a nasty grin on Billy’s face. And it didn’t take long before Billy went in for another blow.
