[Image ID: A photo of Proton and Archer, the two are standing close together, Proton angled away from the camera, and upon closer observation, they appear to be kissing. Archer is staring over Proton's shoulder, a very smug look on his face. His hand is curled possessively on Proton's hip. ]
Of all the things that turned out to be genetic, yelling "I'M EXPLODING YOU" whenever they feel strong emotions, of any sort, was not one I was expecting.
so i'm back to school after 5 years of being away from it. i made a mistake by signing up for a very science-heavy courseload (bio, chem, and nutrition lol) for SUMMER QUARTER which is three weeks shorter than a normal quarter but not any cheaper. I had to go down to 3 days a week at work and I haven't slept right since this quarter started goddddddddddd... it's all my fault and I have no one to blame but myself (and being a 1st generation college-goer and having almost no preparation when it comes to how to study and how to effectively navigate the higher education system). Anyway,,, 2 more weeks of this quarter from hell left. WAAAAAAA I'm almost at the finish line but I'm so so so so so burned out

time for some repeating song lyrics everybody! after absolutely scrutinizing the archer and not strong enough i've decided they're both each songs equivalent
you can see Ei's and Focalor's hands right there which now i'd like to share the headcanon that Archons have painted nails alongside their glowing hair, which can back up potential future fanarts of Scara having black/dark purple nails. i was debating on Nahida or Ei for the hand cupping Scara's face, went with Ei because i made Scara's eyes purple with a swirl of cyan and it'd match with Ei's painted nails, totally not some form of symbolism in his eyes or anything lol.
(i posted this for the first time in tiktok and it sort of flopped 20 mins in but who knows! + the text feature in csp is so hard to use. whats up with that)
