invisible scars (referenced previous talk here)
[ID: A colourless, digital Trigun comic of Vash and Wolfwood talking about Wolfwood's scars. They're both laying in bed and topless. Vash lays on top of Wolfwood, playing with the rosary around his neck. Then, Vash kisses a spot on Wolfwood's chest. Wolfwood asks, "What are you doing?" Vash smiles sadly, "You got shot here. In the last town we visited. You didn't even bother moving."
Vash props himself up over Wolfwood, who frowns slightly. Wolfwood is quiet for a moment before he says, "You remember that, huh?" Vash grabs Wolfwood's left wrist and brings it to his face. "And here." He kisses another spot there. "When you helped free the hostages from that robber..." Wolfwood dismissively says, looking away, "Was a lucky shot." Vash huffs, “Don’t brag. Jeez.”
Half of Wolfwood's expression is shown, eyes returning to Vash who is now sitting up, continuing to say, "And..." Vash goes on and kiss Wolfwood's right palm. "You got cut here, even though that girl was aiming at me." A moment from the past flashes, of Wolfwood grabbing a knife aimed at Vash, his hand bleeding.
At present, Vash moves down and puts another kiss on Wolfwood's right shoulder. "And here, from watching my back." Another memory flashes of Wolfwood and Vash back to back. Vash looks back as Wolfwood grins while holding Punisher, bleeding from multiple gunshots in his shoulder.
"And," Vash combs up Wolfwood's hair to reveal his forehead, "Here." A final memory shows Wolfwood with a regeneration vial in his mouth while getting shot on his temple. The next panel is framed in blood with Vash at the center, eyes wide and stunned in horror. The next panel is a closed up shot of Wolfwood's eye, locked on Vash's face.
Back to present, Vash’s head is bowed down as Wolfwood raises a hand to his nape and says, “Spikey.”
Wolfwood looks serious and frowns as he says, "We talked about this. Those were my decisions. They're not there anymore. Forget about them." Vash looks very sad before he smiles ruefully and says, "I still see them. All the time." He leans down so they touch foreheads. Wolfwood’s sorrowful expression can be seen as Vash says, "You protect so much. I could never forget what you've done to me. And many others..."
In the last image, they're drawn more cartoonishly. Wolfwood sweats and asks, "You don't actually remember every wound, right?" Vash points at a spot on his chest. "Kuroneko left a scratch here 7 times." Wolfwood, startled, says, "Why the hell are you keeping count—" End ID]

its still rough but as far as im gonna get for now, cant decide on the tentacle colors still nkfdnvkdfn
possible name for lad is Pan or Paktolos (just bc .. reference to midas legend even if this midas got nothing to do with it; oh yeah, a bonus midas sketch .. he needs a proper redesign too)
tentacle lad may look mean here (i genuinely dont know why i drew him like that) but hes a big sappy softie, even carries a picture of midas in a locket around- next to the demon teeth hes collected
he doesnt leave the island much anymore and mostly manages everything on it, his people call him by royal titles sometimes bc hes been a very competent leadership figure but he doesnt put value in any titles-
he rescued midas from the demon hunters that kidnapped him years ago to bring one of the biggest and most influencial empires to collapse after his older sister, who was the empress, was unexpectedly dying- midas being the next in line
the empire doesnt really exist anymore at this point, midas now leading missions around the island instead, or going around keeping up to date with politics and tensions since his husband (tentacle lad) and his people are of a kind that is largely being kept a secret and would be a target for demon hunters as well, despite them not being demons
(they look monstrous but are more based on animals, are native to earth, cannot change form, age only somewhat slower than humans and have no control over any elemental magic more than a very skilled human can have- which is basically not even noticable and usually gets passed off as 'talent' in the way a skilled sailor can feel the approaching weather in the wind)

Maybe a stupid idea but Coups et blessures by BB Brunes except it's Lead singer Steve Harrington and his buddies Robin, Nancy, Argyle, and Johnathan (don't ask me why but they have cooky band family vibes).
So Steve's out here singing in fucking perfect French (rich parents I headcanon they def made him learn French for parties), at a random bar with his group. The gang is vibing and these people in Indiana, who have no clue what is being said, are loving it! (They also might be a bit drunk but that lends to their hype).
Cue Dustin Henderson dragging Eddie Munson to see his brother's band because, "They're really cool! And you've gotta see it!" And Eddie's not the least bit impressed by the vibes the stage setup is giving off, but he figures he'll give it a shot for the kid.
Then the lights dim and the group comes out, each in their own (seemingly random) outfits that shouldn't go together but somehow work. Steve's in a semi cropped tshirt (purely for comfort he says) and jeans, maybe a little glittery makeup as he fidgets with his guitar strap. Robin's in a 3 piece suit, with her hair up in pigtails and sunglasses as she holds onto her bass. Nancy's in heels, a business blazer with a pink Tshirt underneath, and a very lovely midi skirt that matches her blazer, she's securing her guitar and talking to Robin. Argyles got a lot going on while he stands behind his keyboard, lots of neons and a surfer boy (?) hat, as well as a big smile as he catches Dustin in the crowd and waves. Johnathan uses his drum set to hide from the crowd and is thankful to Steve who promises to try and block him every show due to his raging anxiety. He's got headphones so he can focus on the music a just his regular jeans and t-shirt, maybe Argyle convinced him to add a butterfly clip to his hair.
Anyway!
Eddie's starting wide eyed at, well he's not sure, and gives Dustin his best, 'Dude are you serious!?', look, but the kid's buzzing with excitement and not even paying attention to him. So, he shakes it off and decides to focus on the music.
The second this pop like stuff starts playing he's ready to hightail it out of there and tell the kid he gave it a good try, but then the singer opens his mouth and Eddie's ready to die on the spot. The lights catch his makeup and beautiful eyes and his voice is the stuff on Eddie's dreams. Once he realizes he's not singing in English his brain fully shuts off.
By now Dustin's decided to notice him again and laughs at his response then quickly resumes his dancing to the music. Eddie's spends his time in a daze staring at the man singing in front of him.
When his brain finally decides to catch up he notices that he's probably looked like the creepiest dude on the planet and embarrassment floods over him. That is until he notices that he's not the only one that was staring as the singer's face is flushed to have seemingly been caught staring at the metalhead.
Eddie's not sure how he makes it through the performance or even if he did (for all he knows he could've passed out and this is a fever dream). Eventually the group leaves after bowing and dragging Argyle away from blowing kisses to everybody in the crowd. Dustin grabs Eddie and immediately pulls him to the back where their both let in without much fuss, and Eddie's left to stand awkwardly as the little shrimp runs off to hug the man of his dreams.
"That was awesome, oh my god, you guys are cool!" Dustin's got Steve in a death grip and he's trying to bit back his grin while pushing his off and smacking the bill of his thinking cap.
"Yeah, yeah. You say that everytime, man." He's flushed at the flattery and swipes a hand through his hair to compose himself.
"I mean you guys are seriously the best band I've ever listened to!"
That snaps Eddie out of his stunned dazed as he pokes at Dustin's backside, "Uh, excuse me?"
The kid jumps (he totally hadn't forgotten about Eddie) and ignores his previous insinuation, "Oh, Eddie! This is my brother Steve. Wasn't the band awesome, dude?"
There's silence for a moment as the two boys subtly (obviously) look the other one up and down. Steve recovers first and holds out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Eddie."
Eddie's starstruck and as he grabs the others hand he can feel lightning come to shock him and buzz up the rest of his arm. "H-Hey, you were great, Steve."
Dustin's standing to the side of the two grinning like a mad man, while Robin (unnoticed this whole time) watches on confused and invested.
Steve's sure his whole body is flushed at this point as he registers the way his name sounds around Eddie's voice, "Thanks."
More (stunned) silence. Then.
"Wait- you're Dustin's brother?" Dustin laughs again, leaning on Robin who's sipping water trying not to choke.
"Huh?" Steve's caught off guard, still feeling the warmth of Eddie's hand that he hasn't let go off burn through his entire body. Luckily he's able to shake himself out of it, "Oh, uh, yeah. Well, Half brother, sorta, kinda. I-I guess it's more like an adoption kind of thing, maybe? But uh yeah."
Eddie's never thought another human has ever been so pretty and his natural cool response, is "Nice."
"Well this is embarrassing to watch."
"Nancy, god!"
Nancy's standing behind Steve openly laughing at the awkwardness that is their (admittedly cute) interaction. Steve's come back down from jumping a few feet in the air and is glaring at her, hands on his hips out of habit.
"We've talked about the creeping sneaking stuff-!"
"Oh, whatever."
"I'm not kidding-"
Nancy holds up her palm, "I don't have time for one of your lectures, I was just coming to let you know I'm heading out with John and Argyle, so I'll see you guys later."
"Bye, Nancy!" Eddie suppresses a scream as he sees Robin's been next to him the whole time.
Dustin checks his watch, "Shit, we gotta get home soon or Mom's gonna be mad."
Steve narrows his eyes, "Does she even know that you're here?"
Dustin waves him off, "She said it was okay as long as I was out with an adult." He gestures to Eddie who's heart rate has rescinded to normal and is busy staring at the glitter that's on Steve's pink cheeks.
"I gotta go too! Vickie's outside so, bye!" Robin's gone like the poof of a cartoon character after kissing Steve goodbye and discreetly whispering into his ear about, "Details."
Dustin waves, "Bye, Birdie!" And then it's the three of them alone.
"Hey, Steve?" Dustin's wiggling his eyebrows at his brother and Eddie's definitely not going to laugh at how ridiculous he looks.
"Yes, Dustin, Robin was my ride here, so I guess I have to either walk home or ask your friend for a ride." His voice sounds irritated, like he would rather have his foot run over than get into a car with Eddie , but with the way Dustin's smirking at his brother he figures he's just missing something.
"So, Eddie-"
"Sure, I'll give you a ride!" To quick of an answer, but Steve's flushing again and his heart is fluttering in his chest, so whatever scheme he's been wrapped into by Dustin is worth it.
