#IM STILL TREMBLING

[booksandpaperss]

Sooo after my bestie @wayward-sherlock pointed out that Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths is literally the perfect song for Mike getting Vecna’d and Will begging him to live and come back, I listened to the song again and promptly had a mini mental breakdown, so then ofc I listened to I Know the End bc I was in the right mood, and I ended up feeling really inspired so-

-I spit balled a poem about Mike getting Vecna’d from Will’s POV. It *attempts* to combine phrases, motifs, and themes from Achilles Come Down and I Know the End, and it is definitely one of the messiest poems I have ever written in my typical poetry style so I have no idea if it’s genius or literal word vomit (it definitely will not make sense to u if you don’t listen to the two songs so go and do that if u haven’t already at some point), but I figured I should share it here and let you guys decide that hehe (cries)

Haha anyway… Enjoy the results of my Greek mythology and Pheobe Bridgers induced mental breakdown 🫡

To Swing in our Rusty Memory (like the age old pact)

An old, haunted house

Somewhere in Indiana

Old memories

A swingset, rusty and

Metal damp from Rain

Do you remember

The promise

The pact we made

Do you, do you, do you

Don’t.

Don't listen to Him

Stay, and swing

Swing with me

In my loving memory

I’ll keep you close

Where you go, I’ll go too

So tell me

Tell me, is it the same

For you

Would you stay

Will you stay

Stay and swing

Swing with me

A reason to live or to die, you say

Oh sure

Just rip

Rip him away from me

Just go ahead and rip and tear

him away

All I have left

Of a happier time

Of a swingset

Rusty with rain

Lie, lie, lie

That is all

all they do

Do not listen to their whispers

Their callousness

It is all a Falsehood

I beg of you, Do not listen.

When we held

One another

An innocent touch

Hand to hand

So light

How can that be Wrong

Please, please, remember

Remember our

Swingset

All rusty and old

When you reached for my hand

It can be new again

We

Can be new

New again

As the end approaches

As the world falls away

I want, I need

Need you

By my side

So please, please

Step away from Him

From Them

Choose the Rain

The Rust

Choose Us.

Choose our swingset

And come Swing

Swing with me

In our loving Memory

I promise

Like our age old pact

Where you go, I’m going

Like our age old pact

The End is near

So come. Come Home

And I swear won’t desert you

It's beddy-bye time but you know I will explode tomorrow, my hands were shaking so much while pulling I miss-clicked everything and accidentally skipped my first 10-pull with him present. I also broke a nail.

Thank you for coming home, Hoederer, and may you come 3 more times so I can max pot you.

~ Maybe there is something to be said for shades of grey. ~ Well, shades of dark grey. ~ Shades of very light grey, I'd rather fancy.

that's right, gang, i'm trying something new and i'm officially booting up a patreon! think of it as a nice big pit i've dug in the ground where i can dump all my comics, illustrations, fics, and speedpaints... and for just three dollars, you can sit in that pit! whoa! enjoy fabulous pit perks such as:

getting early access to new comic updates for series such as swanatello, gemini, or stabilize and for fanfics like i'm sorry, teenage mutant what now?

exclusive content such as WIP shots, unpublished 'deleted scenes' or concept art, and speedpaints!

the chance to occasionally boss me around and tell me which project you want me to prioritize and work on next :3c

i've already got some content up that i'm not planning on publishing anywhere else, and moving forward i'll likely be uploading comic and fic updates here first! and if patreon isn't your scene, but you still wanna be supportive of the work i do, you can also check out my kofi or my commission info! thanks!

Plant Portraits

(pst- psssssst!- Hey, hey you. Yeah, you! Want to see something cool? look at this post by @hellishgayliath. It's about the characters shown here! They worked on it for a week straight, so check it out!) . . .

Hi, yes, hi, hello. Yeaaaaaah- steering away from the angst me & Helli brewed while I recover from crying. This was inspired exactly a month ago from this ask I made to Helli ask bout their oc's fav plants. I wanted to try out a new rendering style & thought this be a good opportunity + plant practice

Pico; He likes cinnamon plants/trees & likes to knaw on cinnamon sticks. So I did cinnamon plants! Specifically Cinnamomum cassia, or known as Chinese cassia, that is the most commonly sold cinnamon in North America (yes you are getting plant facts this took longer to research than to draw mainly because I like learning but that's besides the point and I wanna share knowledge) I really like how the leaves came out! Twas very fun. His plants are well maintained, healthy, & green (maybe too green lol) which shows his craft in gardening & care. Luci doesn't have teeth, so she can't really 'knaw' on things, so she didn't like trying Pico's snacks when she stole one. She was coughing on cinnamon for the next hour after. Pico laughed at her, obviously Ingenuity: the quality of being clever, original, and inventive

Bao; He likes wisteria flowers, the purple variation (my fav colour)! I loved loved LOVED coloring these plants, but it feels the most empty out of all of them (Clem is all over the place lmao) but I also kinda like it. Like it reflects their personalities this way, like he's the most upkept in society (despite his utter lack of gardening knowledge). Apparently, American wisteria is a host plant to native butterflies and moths! Add that to another reason Luci likes Bao lol. I feel like anytime she comes to the tea shop, Bao would bring her to the garden he & Pico would be working on. And everytime he's show her the plants he managed on his own they'd be drooping and dying lmao. Bao would be so confused & Luci is just unsurprised. And yes, I did think of & look at the wisteria in demon slayer Versatility: the ability to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities

Clem; She likes (take 3 seconds to guess) citrus fruits!! Like her name. So I of course did citrus fruits, lemons & oranges. She has my FAVORITE pose, her reaching for the fruit while juggling some in her other arm is adorable. And of course that cute face of hers! Her plants are just EVERYWHERE & is the only one to touch the ends of the canvas (that I wanted to avoid but oh well, it didn't look good otherwise). Besides, it shows her big personality and chaotic energy children have. Apparently, they're sometimes called 'Christmas oranges' because they're in season in winter months. I thought that was interesting. Does Clem like the cold, Helli or does she despise it like Pico lol? Apparently, they are also those cuties or halos oranges I use to devour as a child lol. And because of said memory, I say that Clem does too. I like to think Luci learns to share, like a child, from Clem, a said child. Luci sells back people's stuff overpriced all the time, and only shares things with Repo. She obviously isn't sharing anything with Pico & she mainly hangs out with Bao at the tea shop so she only buys things. She stole Clem's fruits in front of her once. Let's just say a bunch of sad faces and crying, not only bleed her earholes, but made her feel bad (but she'll never admit it). Does she share things now? Kindaaaaa- no. No, not at all. Only Clem & Repo Affability: the quality of being friendly and easy to talk to

aaaand my inspo board just cuz I was going to draw Vera, I really was! (I was so FRICKIN EXCITED to draw the plant with the braided stock next to the pink flower) but... one look at her head and the pose I chose, I said "No."

Bao was already troubling enough I don't need to build up hate to a character I barely know & already like by getting frustrated with their head (again). So no Vera, Helli, sorrys. Her descriptor was going to be 'nobility' btw

GO CHECK OUT HELLI'S POST IT'S SO GOOD (sad) BUT AMAZING!

hi guys :)

some men are textbook villains fr

[asterlark]

i was so so brave today and guess what. i have to keep on being so so brave tomorrow. i don't even get to have a 72 hour rest and treat time lockdown to celebrate and recover from how brave i was. being an alive human continues to test me in devious and tortuous ways the devil himself could only dream of

Wolcred week day 4, heal / harmony

This one isn't as good as I wanted because I was dealing with the aftermath of some intense pain, but, I got it out, even though I had to do all the colouring with a mouse while lying down-

[piplupod]

feels like the isolation is a gushing wound and going to the centre is just a small bandage. i think perhaps i am not really ever going to feel okay unless something miraculous happens. i am retaining some semblance of sanity now that I'm leaving the house and socializing with non-family more than once a week, but i am still hurting more than I can really tolerate and I don't know what to do about it. there doesn't seem to be a fix for this that I can enact.

im so normal about the saw 2004 bathroom <- lying

[z-spy]

OKAY hear me out sniper is sex-repulsed and he simply hates the idea of having sex and avoids this topic in a conversation he prefers not even thinking about sex(🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽) and everything related to it however he is completely okay i mean he does not have any trauma he is just disgusted by it

AND spy is an asexual with a neutral attitude BUT has a very complicated relationship with sex he usually uses it to get closer to women he is in love with because he realises that most of people experience attraction and some even can't remain in a romantic relationship without doing it so he just does it to create a bond and still he is not okay because HE IS the one with a trauma yes i think he might have experienced SA when he was a small child + he had quite strict father who was too stern towards him so he as a very scared and helpless boy could not tell about the things that happened to him because this was typically the situation where the rapist was a family friend who would never be suspected and little spy understood that so he had never told his parents as he feared that he would be punished for his 'lies' (however his dather actually WOULD be concerned and would probably kill his 'old friend' because he was not a monster and he knew that a child would not just make up such thing or create such a detailed image of it so the boy was just too frightened by the event and his father's strict behaviour so he could not trust him fully and that is very sad) so he does not feel anything towards it bc sex is just another way for him to get along with people or manipulate them but i think he felt something only once towards scout's mother ;)

(i think spy realised that his father wasn't so scary only when he grew up and he also realised that he COULD tell and it would be ended quickly so yea)

I just learned something so incredibly fucked up
