so sorry but bridgerton!Simon Riley where he was the son of a butcher but then became a soldier and rose through the ranks with help due to his (incredibly) wealthy captain John price that left him sitting comfortably when he returned home but still looked down upon because of his status as "new money" in the aristocratic society. Just as grouchy and rude as he was before, but now with the money to gamble as he wishes and a grand estate to spend his days alone on.
but then his captain is pulling him out into the public eye by force because the season is arriving and all the eligible debutantes are looking for a husband and "I wont have you drink yourself to death completely alone, Riley" but low and behold all the motherfucker does is stand in a corner with a drink and stare all goddamn night. On the off chance that some poor woman comes up and strikes a conversation with him she's left less than pleased with his one word answers and walks away with a sour face when he inevitable says something foul mouthed. The night goes the same until he sulks off when price is busy dancing with his wife-
imagine his surprise when he slips outside to find you, one of the eligible noble ladies he found particularly enticing sneaking a cigarette in the garden, who doesn't turn up her nose in judgement when he rolls up his sleeves and asks if he can bum one off of you.

So, I'm alive
I'm also more burnt out than I've ever been
But even then I opened up the next Dragon's Lair file for the first time this year. It's been, rough.
To condense: got a job, several actually (freelance + full time), worked myself to the bone for over a year, even tho i now only have the full time job I'm out of all energy and motivation.
This dumb little sketch is the first digital piece I've done for myself all year. Been trying to figure out the main dragon design for DL for years now.
Well, this one came to me in a cloud
I know it's been a while form the fact that a) my browser did not recognize tumblr just from me typing in the letter T into the url box and b) i was logged out. I truly never intended to leave, and even though I work in my preferred career, yeesh.
To be frank my mental health also crumbled into fine dust. I won't go into it further than that but know that I'm slowly clawing my way back. My employment will end on the 13th of Sep after which I'm taking a longer break to crawl my way to Shop's side and restore myself as much as I can.
Anyway, big preesh to y'all for still coming to my blog and liking and reblogging and commenting on my works. It truly means the world to me <3

Can I ask you about your Reverse No Capes AU?
I don't really have one? But I DO have a reverse robin au. Which I will proceed to yell about under the cut
Okay so Damian came first, and then Duke got fostered after. Damian is the first Robin. WHy is he called Robin? Don't worry about it. Duke is Signal. They're different heroes, operate at different times of the day, and they're more like brother-in-arms than brothers. Most of this is due to Damian's upbringing prior to living with Bruce and his idea of being Batman's "heir".
Then he graduated from Robin and strikes out on his own as Nightwing. Duke is still Signal but eventually also moves out. But there's a little stalker boy in Gotham who thinks Batman still needs a partner. So Timothy Drake becomes the second Robin.
And Damian hates him.
Who is this upstart who just came in and replaced him? And now he's insisting he's his brother? And then Tim dies, and Damian feel horrible.
Steph becomes Batgirl, and she really gives Bruce a run for his money. Damian tries to take her under his wing like how he did for Duke, but she's too much of a wild spirit.
Then Bruce meets a half starved child on the anniversary of his parents death, and how can he not take him in? This time Damian tells himself he'll never let what happened to Tim happen again. He'll be a real big brother, the way he never really did with Duke, and the way he refused to do for Tim (who's jealous of a child? he'll hate himself for that forever).
Jason is rough around the edges. He's never actually had someone pay attention to him before, he has no idea how to take it. There's a big learning curve for him on how to be a son and a brother, but both Bruce and Damian (and Duke, who still pops around) are willing to put in the effort.
Cassandra comes around sometime in there. Immediately latches onto the Bats and Jason decides they're twins now. They are terrors together.
Also Steph is a horrible enabler big sister. Damian is begging her, begging, to stop taking the kiddos out for midnight ice cream. She cannot be stopped.
Dick happens like in canon. Except now he has a huge gaggle of older siblings to help him out. Meanwhile Babs is baby and best friends with Dick.
And then there's this mysterious red hooded figure skulking around Gotham, delivering heads to the GCPD in a duffel bag, and lamenting how he'll be a better Batman than Batman himself. And seems to loath Jason's Robin for some reason.
