Dilla and Caleb meet baby Miles, and adopt him not long after 💙 An alternative to this:

My heart broke and melted for Spider/Mile's hardships and neglect, therefore me and @katerinaaqu keep including him in our Avatar AU, and I'll be damned if I won't draw this sweet lad the loving family he deserves🥰

❤️ Baby Mine

"...If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for the right to hold you..."

A little bit more of the Avatar AU. I've tarted a series following this short comic of Dilla and Caleb meeting baby Miles/Spider:

It did not take long for Dilla and Caleb to adopt Miles, they had fallen in love with the tiny baby immediately ❤️ They decided to keep the name Miles, to honor the choice of his late birth mother Paz Socorro.

Since the baby was too small for a breathing mask, Caleb and Dilla would at first take turns staying with him at the human facilities. Later Elyon, the head of the facility, arranges for a shack to be placed in the Omatikaya village so Dilla and Caleb can finally take their son home, and care for him there. As Miles grows up, the shack also serves as a resting space where he can take off his breathing mask, eat and sleep more comfortably e.t.c.

When Dilla gives birth to Kai the baby brothers create a bond right away, always snuggling together and crying when separated. Unfortunately at the start they must be separated often since Kai, like all Na'vi and avatars, cannot breathe in human spaces for an unlimited time, and he himself is too little for a mask. It breaks their parents hearts to keep them apart during this first times, but they still make sure they spend as much time as they can together.

Defenitly not done with Dilla and Caleb adopting Miles/Spider in our Avatar AU! 💙💙

I have tons of drawings for the sweet family and more once I'm finished with my studies, this is one of the sketches ^^

And yes, soon baby Miles will have a brother too 💙

"Zola'u nìprrte' ma Miles. Welcome to our family." After watching Way Of Water and reading “High Ground”, It broke my heart how neglected, left behind and pushed aside Miles/Spider was by Neytiri, Jake and basically everyone else besides the Sully children, despite him being so loyal to them and having such a gentle kind heart. 

To make myself feel better I just had to include him in our Avatar AU, in which Dilla and Caleb definitely adopt him wholeheartedly, and Miles finally has a mother, father and brother to belong to 💙

Human Caleb X na'vi Dilla doodles for our Avatar AU, wanted to draw some romantic intimacy between them without Caleb being in his avatar for a change 💙💙

the last one is rather random and cheesy, but I had the idea that since they can't bond in Tsaheylu here, Caleb puts Dilla's queue against his chest so she can feel his heartbeat instead 💙

[artsofmetamoor]

 Diego and Dilla adore each other to bits, and they don't argue ever. In Caleb's dreams of course. In reality they are usually at each others throats😆

Diego's dislike and jealousy of Dilla is not really connected to how he feels about her as a person, but rather it all boils down to her relationship and romance with Caleb, which stings Diego's complicated feelings that he never admitted to Caleb, or even to himself. Dilla can perceive such feelings and has compassion, but even her compassion is not enough when Diego throws his unhinged nasty attitude and insults at her, and she often bites back. Dilla also fails to communicate with Diego, pressing on certain wounds without meaning to at times.

Young Caleb and Diego.

Caleb and Diego were both found by Julian, a while after the rebellion against prince Phobos broke out, they grew up together in the middle of all the chaos, living the struggles that no child should be able to endure. Despite Julian becoming a caring father figure to the boys, he was also busy leading the whole resistance and thus he had to prepare Caleb and Diego for the upcoming war, which forced them to grow up far too quickly, relying on each other, and the rebellion for survival.

Caleb of course grows up to become the next rebel leader after Julian is lost in battle, and Diego his right hand man.

Their pose was inspired by the painting "The Princes in the Tower'" by John Everett Millais, 1878. The whole story and melancholy of the piece portraying the children facing the dangerous unknown together reminded me of our boys ❤️

@katerinaaqu 's written work featuring Diego (and Caleb), her portrayal of this original character of ours is always fantastic ❤️:

Uneasy Lies The Head

His Trauma and his Consolation

Hidden Truth Prequel: The Peak of Madness

I've not been posting much lately I apologize for that, life was keeping me... and recently much to my frustration my motivation is just dying, even tho I really want to draw... there's no better way to put this, I overall just feel like shit... just lost, empty and sad.

But regardless I decided to try and fight against all these nasty shadows over my head and force myself to create something, anything, hopefully more will come.

One step at a time I suppose, may it all get better.

Hope everyone is alright, take care ❤️

One more for the piles of AUs me and @katerinaaqu created, and it's apocalypse AU time, with a pinch of body horror.

top: Dilla before and after infection.

A virus changes people into rabid flesh eating monsters. Poor Dilla tragically gets infected when she gets separated from her group, however during the process of her transformation she is pregnant and gives birth to her and Caleb's son Kai, and that plus her great resilience to protect her child somehow prevents her from loosing most of her sanity and awareness. Kai is born uninfected, and Caleb and the group find Dilla transformed but consciously protecting the baby (if this reminds you of a plot of a manga which is floating around, that's because me and @katerinaaqu  took inspiration from it 😆)

Infected Dilla maintains her full humanity and awareness as long as she is not starved, but if by some chance she runs out of food her new found instincts will eventually overwhelm her, and she will lose complete control of herself and enter a dangerous frenzy, attacking anyone around her indiscriminately, unable to recognize friend from foe(or prey), because of this (and after a tragic accident that will be revealed later) she becomes extremely careful with proper feeding, for she is terrified of hurting others, especially her loved ones.  

Dilla needs flesh to eat because of the infection, therefore she mostly resorts to hunting other dangerous infected people who attack uninfected survivors.

Dilla's body changed because of the infection, and her face became disfigured, her mouth especially ripped apart from her cheeks almost up to her ears with rows of sharp teeth. Unfortunately this made most people react in a fearful, discriminatory and sometimes even violent manner with her, so to avoid scaring other people, or provoke tension when walking out in the open, Dilla uses fabrics, scarfs and a cloak to hide her mouth and face.

The only ones to whom she openly shows herself and her face to are her beloved Caleb, their son Kai, and later her brother Ballard and his companion Cornelia.

This is a rough one for the poor sweet girl and her loved ones, a lot of trauma, hurt and comfort ❤️‍🩹

Our boy Caleb aging like fine wine, a few silver strands starting to shine on his hair ❤️

Just a quick doodle ^^ random idea inspired by @katerinaaqu 's amazing Odyssey fanfiction, where Calypso takes a white and silver hair from Odysseus for her spells ✨

Hello, I need you to know I would die for Dilla. I love her so much 😍

Bonus Avatar AU

[artsofmetamoor]

Hey! Hope everyone had an amazing time celebrating the holidays, with all your family and loved ones!✨✨

After watching Avatar The Way Of Water I'm so inspired, and since this is the season dedicated to family, I decided to end my previous collection of Dilla, Caleb and their beloved little Kai with our Avatar AU! Kai's birth was a difficult one, but worth every struggle <3    Latest chapter of this AU written by Katerinaaqu HERE
