#With Love Juni

[amandacanwrite]

Main Character of my book With Love, Juniper slated to come out with Inked in Gray Press. Wanted to Doodle her last year around this time and was so pleased with how this one game out!

Here is a little snippet from the book for your reading pleasure.

Juniper’s heart soared as she hurried to the door, and her face and ears warmed with her excited flush. She threw the door open to greet her dearest and oldest friend.

“Oleander I—” 

The words caught and extinguished in Juniper’s throat, her heart lodging painfully there instead.  

Dread deeply set into her bones.  

It was always this way. An invisible rope snaked around her rib cage and constricted tighter than any stays or corsets she’d ever worn. Each inhale was stilted and painful. The blood left her face and nausea curled in her stomach. 

This man in front of her was not Oleander, it couldn’t be.  

When Oleander left, he had paled in height when set aside with Juniper’s. At age sixteen, the pudginess in his face still betrayed his age. Back then, he had the lanky awkward build of what he was, and what he still should be: a normal teenage boy.  

But the boy standing here now on their front steps well— he was not a boy! He was a man! A grown man! 

He’d promised her that he’d return as a man. But two years certainly couldn’t have made such an impact on his build. 

Warmly hooded blue-grey eyes crinkled in a smile down at her from where he suddenly stood nearly an entire head taller. Dark, shapely brows rested low and relaxed above them. Beneath his eyes were the faint wrinkles of many sleep-deprived nights and so many smiles. Full lips curved and made his high cheekbones round out pleasantly– the only lingering softness from his once youth-tender face, it seemed. Below his mouth, his jawline swept beautifully to where his ebony hair was perfectly coiffed and combed behind his ear.  

Juniper’s eyes fell to his torso, ears growing hot with her growing flush that now made a betraying return to her face. She’d hoped to find relief there, escape from the burning smolder of his gaze. 

She didn’t.  

Of course, her mother had mentioned needing to send off new clothes to Oleander over the past couple of years. But she had never imagined this. 

That lanky build she’d expected had filled out. Where he used to swim in his dress shirts and coats, now every line of his jacket and vest perfectly traced the attractive broadness of his shoulders and his chest. The elegant taper of his waist stopped at high trousers, silver buttons shining. A perfect straight-legged pleat went straight to the floor where he wore stylish, polished leather shoes.  

No— this was not Oleander. Not her Ollie. Not the little precious boy she helped her parents send off to school.  

The stranger on her doorstep took his stylish pointed hat off his head and held it politely in front of his chest. The perfect gentleman. 

The movement made Juniper lift her dark grey eyes to his bright blue-grey ones and they crinkled further.  

“Juniper,” he breathed with sweet joy and affection, his voice a stranger’s voice. It was so deep. The timbre of it rattled through her tightened chest. “I have missed you so very much,” the stranger said.  

Juniper swallowed, willing her heart to return to its home back in her rib cage. Her ears were ringing as she forced herself to speak. 

“O-Oleander. Extended periods of transmogrification can be incredibly dangerous; I know you have a penchant for pranks but—” 

The man’s brow knitted with a bit of consternation, head tilting in the way Ollie’s always did when he was startled or confused. Then, his brows rose higher, deciphering Juniper’s stammered words. The look of confusion gave way to a brilliant laugh, perfect teeth shining in the calm autumn morning.  

Juniper’s heart squeezed as the laugh quieted.  

“Am I so changed,” he asked as he lifted his hand to his mouth,. “–that you think this form is something other than my natural one?” He gestured to himself in demonstration.  

The light twinkled in his eyes as he said the words that hammered the last nails into Juniper’s nightmarish coffin.  

“I assure you; I am still very much the same Ollie that left our home two years ago.”  

He began to take the few steps left between himself and the threshold and Juniper’s fingernails dug painfully into the palms of her hands. Her knuckles strained white with how tightly she balled her hands next to her, skin clammy and cloying with nervous sweat on her palms.  

“I’ve come to collect my hug hello,” he said as he took another step. 

Juniper eyed the distance between them, only one step remaining before he would be there. In the house. With her.  

Her chest squeezed again, the invisible rope tightening even more. She couldn’t get any air in her lungs.  

Oleander seemed to finally register her emotional state. He slowed in his pursuit of her. 

“Juniper? Are you alright? You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Oleander asked her as he came to a stop just at the threshold.  

Juniper registered the pause in momentum, the question hanging in the stale air between them.  

Oleander inhaled to speak again, but before he could manage a word, Juniper had slammed the door shut in his face

Hee hoo more of the fam! ( ≧ᗜ≦)

Ft ideas:

-Error having Geno's glitches when hes unstable (and maybe even his eye melting,,, tho you rarely get to see it)

- PJ's comfort food is just some weird concoction Ink and Error made thats just error's strings and purple paint and called it "homemade ramen"

It sounds so dumb but its probably a really good healing item for him if he lost his strings=structure somehow.

-Gradient and Error communicate through puppets. Both of them are too socially awkward when face to face so this is for the best lmfao

-Ink building lil mini metatton robots!! Did you know his dad taught him how to build machines and studying astrophysics? Its so he learns to be less dependent on his paints and powers. I wish ppl draw him doing stuff like this more ; w ;

shout out to one piece for letting the main character reach maximum silliness with his final form instead of becoming serious and stoic

[damian-lil-babybat]

"Eventually, I will no longer drown from the overflowing of an empty cup"

Pre-Morrison Talia would be the kind of love poets would write for.

Talia al Ghul, with all her history, faults, and flaws, have no means to have had so much love for the people she cherish. But she does...she does.

"We are immortals, Habibi. When others say they love forever, they lie. But we don't have the same luxury. For people like us, forever means eternity, beyond death and even after. It is a curse, my heart. Our curse. For such promise meant to taint such noble feelings— And yet, I will never apologize for loving you."
