@arathergrimreaper replied to your post “might genuinely have to make an AO3 account just...”:

do eeeet!!

​IT IS DONE. Quite frankly, it'll probably be at least another ten days before I finish what I'm writing... and another who knows how long before I finish the painting.

But. The wheels are in motion for me to post a single fic a decade when the fancy strikes me and bounce.

Happy homestuck day! Ive seen this pairing sprinkled into some fics of yours but i don't remember seeing any art of Signless and GHB together. I remember a specific old pale short story from you where they were basically smoking church weed and being adorable. So anything involving those two old men would be great to see. Love your art!

I do a lot more pale GHBsign in fics because "we're two zealots of opposing causes; there's no way forward that doesn't end with at least one of us destroyed, whether we do it ourselves or we do it to each other." is a lot easier to bring across in writing than in art, haha. But also that AU where the GHB is like "aw, fuck it" and joins the rebellion to see what happens is still dear to my heart lol

(arathergrimreaper asked: I humbly request Signless making the GHB laugh on this Homestuck day, please and thanks. Happy 4/13!)

Cloud Strife has dreams of exacting revenge on the monsters that left him and Tifa without family or a place to call home. Shinra wants to help him realize those dreams by training him as a vampire hunter. They seem genuine enough for Cloud, so there's really only two questions left to ask:

Where did the vampires come from and why why WHY does Cloud keep falling for them?

EDIT: Title used to be The Blood of the Covenant. Still considering switching back to it.

WARNING: This story is purely self-indulgent trash for the author, who has been obsessed with vampires since they were old enough to say 'vampire'. Expect no attempts at quality storytelling from this point onward. Abandon all writerly faith ye who enter here.

Heey! I was just thinking about you the other day! Hoping ya'll are doing okay on your side of the country right now.

Aw, thank you so much. <3 It’s... yeah, everything’s awful, but I’m personally mostly okay. Mostly. I appreciate the good thoughts.

Oh gods, he is. He was honestly I little surprised she didn't hand him back over to Denarius (which is my irl cousin's name so it's always weird to read and write here), and Hawke punches him in the stomach for ever thinking she would. Girl grew up on a farm and is stronger than she looks. She would help Avery get a better sword for sure.

Fenris as fantasy John Mulaney was not a take I expected to make, but it might as well happen.

Oof, he’s lucky he didn’t double over. I winced just thinking about that. 

She needs a better sword and armor, being so tiny I think dwarf armor might be a little too heavy for her if it’s made for warriors. Honestly she’s in the wrong class. She would’ve made a much better rogue for her small size and quick tongue, but when your parents teach you to protect your family, you reach for the biggest stick you can.

🌹🌹🌹🌹!

I’m only currently working on one thing (at least for now), so they’re all from that. It is, to make what will probably come out to a 20 page story short, demon date night before they go to their deaths in a tournament match the next morning. You get a bonus sentence because the section I wanted to link needs all 4 for context, but sending 4 really short ones feels cheap...

“The scars, the scars... he could not do her lasting harm. For if he did, could he truly say that he had loved her? Or would he be like all the rest? The rest that, had she not done it herself, he would have gladly torn asunder?”

“So rare a thing it was for them to not be shunned for daring to be honest about their true selves, their terrible lasciviousness, their unconscionable urges... and rarer still to be loved for it and given all that their wicked hearts desired.”
