Then and now... He's so handsome...

Nik's younger here, he's still working at bars and playin' his sax

This is a comic I made for a Huskerdust AU I'm roleplaying with a friend. We called it the Loser Diaries AU, because the idea is that Nik (human name I chose for Husk, it's short for Nikolai, yes he's a russian immigrant in this AU) and Tony meet when they're human, date for 10 years until Tony eventually, tragically dies from overdose. And then Nik keeps the diary, addressing all the following entries to Tony, as if he's talking to him. They diary (a real google docs file) follows the rest of Nik's life, his sorrows, his career as a professional magician in Vegas, and his eventual fall from grace as he crashes and burns after a messy divorce (it was an awful marriage in the first place and did nothing to help him move on) and sinks deep into his vices.

The last entry in the diary implies that Nik finally had enough, and ended his own life at 67 years old, to meet Tony again. (Threw himself off the tallest casino in vegas.) Nik goes to hell, renames himself Husk because of all the emptiness he feels inside, and never. EVER. Stops looking for Tony. The whole reason he even became an overlord and built the casino was to find him. But he never did. Eventually he had to give it up, or at least try to accept there was a real chance Tony got permanently erased from existance.

Then he meets Angel Dust. God, who does he think he is?? Annoying, disrespectful, impossible bastard of a man. But fuck he does sing good, at least.

So Angel starts working for him part time, with Valentino's approval. They get closer, starting a bit of a relationship. Husk has a million hang ups about Tony, he feels like he's betraying him despite everything. Angel doesn't fully trust Husk because he's an overlord.

Eventually it all boils over and they have a messy fight. Husk had paid to have the diary returned to him from the human world, it was sitting there in his desk the entire time. Angel gets angry, Husk comes clean about Tony. Angel gets even more enraged. Husk leaves him be, and Angel completely trashes his office, finds the diary, and remembers everything. The gambling of the contract only happens after they truly confirm it's them, Nik and Tony behind these new demon forms. And they... they don't live happily ever after, they have a ton of shit to work through. Nik being suicidal and insecure, Tony's sexual trauma and years of abuse. But you know what? At least they're in this shit together. And they wouldn't have it any other way.

The official designs for our Loser Diaries AU! (The pinned post on my profile)

It's so interesting to me how  Ниk (Nik), even as Husk still has the same initial.

[indoodlingmadness]

This is literally just for a roleplay that I don't think I'm going to turn into anything bigger, but hey if you wanted human Angel x Demon Husk (overlord Husk), here you go, food for you. The idea here is that it's in the modern era, but everything in hell stayed mostly the same except the Vees are alive, Tony's family too. Tony's tied to Valentino because he needed an escape from his family, and now is stuck in an even worse situation than before. He's desperate enough to try and summon a demon to help him out. Husk didn't lose his soul to Alastor but is stuck in a permanent deal with him. Husk is still a sinner here, meaning he died and isn't supposed to be on earth, not like hellborns that can come and go mostly as they please with portals. He was summoned here, and took the deal because holy shit. I get to see earth again... Only to find out he can't go more than two blocks away from Tony. Real fun. As far as where it's going, well my dudes, it's a roleplay so who knows! But feel free to expand upon this idea if you want.

I forgot to post this one here. Antonio my beloved. He looks so much better masculine like this, at least for me because I'm heavily biased. Then and now.

[indoodlingmadness]

Antonio in drag in his , and of course, Angel many decades later. Everything changes, but some things stay the same. From the Losers Diary AU at this point it feels like I'm the only one still heavily invested in this lol. I had a lot of fun with the dresses. Still I prefer Angel in suits, but he looks gorgeous either way. I am outlining a fanfic guys, it will be a thing! I'm just slow, and I don't wanna post a chapter and then leave it hanging for months

"Ladies and Gentleman, let's give a warm Las Vegas welcome to the one, the only, the incredible LUCKY CAT!" Yes I'm back on my Losers Diary AU bs!!!!! This is the first in a series of parallels I'm working on. Nik was already doing magic while Tony was alive, but after he died... it took some years to get back on his feet, but he reached grand Vegas Magician Fame. (These pieces are actually based on a Lance Burton poster!!!) He lost it all, eventually, after a messy divorce to a woman he didn't love in the first place, drinking and tremendous amounts of gambling that sunk him deep in debt. But before, he built quite a name for himself. And once he's in hell, and has achieved overlord status why... sometimes he performs his old routine from when he was alive, the one Tony knew, so that maybe... It's a shot in the dark----what if he's already exterminated?? But it's all Husk's got, now. And of course, Angel's too high out of his mind constantly to even recognize this. Something tugs at his memory, but he can't quite put his finger on what...

"Nik & his scary dog privileges"

Watch out you simps lmao

Don't think I haven't seen you barking for this man in the tags

[indoodlingmadness]

Smitten cat man.

[indoodlingmadness]

mmm tetas

You found some light amidst the shadows. You hold on for dear life, not quite daring to believe it. Is this another trick? A cruel illusion? No. The solid warmth in your arms seems to argue otherwise. Relief floods your cold, undead body. It's real. They're real.

You may not know what you're doing, or what comes next. But you know that this...this is nice.

I hadn't posted this here either, Met Gala Husk because I could

Loser Diaries AU reference sheet! Tony and Nik when they were alive. Yes, Nik has always been a short man. (Also yes Tony's trans. gasp.) Look at Nik, everyone's favorite manlet. Short king. If he was drunk enough you could almost pick him up and carry him home over your shoulder. Almost. 'cause If you tried Tony would gut you, nobody touches his man. Tony has definitely killed people over less. Sure, Nik looks tough and serious, but Tony's the one who will shoot you dead in the eye with a smile for even looking at his man funny. (God forbid that he catches you speaking badly about him.) One of them is mafia and it certainly ain't Nik lol. (He isn't actually aware of how many people are dead 'cause Tony's feral about him.) But it's funny how people underestimate him bc he's more feminine.
