#ill be ashlyn

[flufallo]

I know it's not the real thing but I want to go

[stillfrownyclownlol]

Gonna throw up If I can't talk about them-

Bunch of Aiden analysis under the cut because he's just SO OBSESSED CODED AND NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT 😭 (I will be very weird about it)

The way it's so doomed from the start. He's already so fascinated by her. It's in the little jump he does when she sits in front of him, like a secret they're both in on, like her sitting in front of him is some obscure way of her inviting him into a conversation.

Why is he like this (not positive but not negative either)

He has such a cocktail of personality traits and, most certainly, mental disorders, and his own history that makes it so, when he's in love, that it WILL blow up in his face.

The fact that he's been homeschooled for his entire life- he has no idea. HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW. He doesnt realize that its not normal. of course he doesn't :( His parents obviously leave him alone for long stretches of time and he doesn't seem to mind this. He hasn't had the chance to develop his social skills at all-

It's why he's so, let's be real, creepy. Ash makes it very clear she's not interested and he just keeps worming his way into her life. He plots so that she'll go on the field trip, he follows her around, he goes to her fucking house on the first day. LIKE, HELLO? RED FLAG?

He's having evil thoughts here I swear 💀

And already so quickly after meeting her he makes Ash his priority. He asks to sit next to her, he engages and makes an effort to talk to her. Tries to joke around with her. Gives her a nickname. Touches her. He's so touchy.

And defends her!!! When Tyler gets pissed at Ash, he honestly goes off on him even tho he KNOWS Ash can defend herself- and he's so...dark about it. There's a threat hidden behind his words. He's MAD here, right? Tell me I'm not crazy, please-

He also very clearly has violence on the forefront of his mind 💀 He's the first one to actively attack the phantoms; not to defend himself, not to defend somebody else (well, he pulls Ash out of the way), but for fun. And he's disappointed when they don't scream. He's sadistic, he likes causing pain, it's something he relishes in.

I mean look at how he smiles!!! None of the other kids have such an...active ENJOYMENT in fighting the phantoms, but for Aiden, it's almost like he finds relief in it, some way to vent out his frustrations. He's eager for a fight, for a thrill.

That's how Aiden sustains himself, he pretty much operates under "I'm here for a good time, not a long time." Everything he does gives him a boost of adrenaline, no matter the consequences. He got into a fight? Eh, who cares about all the bruises, at least it got his blood rushing. Broke a bone while doing parkour or smth? Whatever, the way his stomach dropped when he was falling as totally worth it.

It's a very dangerous mentality to live with, obviously. He's an adrenaline junkie. He's an addict. More than anything else, Aiden wants something that makes him feel alive.

And what makes you feel more alive than love?

Like not to minimise or anything but he's known her for like. 2-3 months- and he's already SO scared of losing her. Like I just don't think he would have had this type of reaction with anybody else besides Ben. He would have absolutely lost his shit if Ash 'died'.

He's a straight up love junkie. He's obsessive. Nothing beats the high love can give you. It overrules everything else. If Ash (or whoever he's interested in) feels bad because of smth, he's done with it.

He LIKED dying. He LIKED the adrenaline rush. But he won't do it again. Not because he had some realization that he didn't want to die, that he still wanted to live and do things, but because Ash was upset. Because this, this rush of care from her part, the way she was so scared of him dying that she was shaking, nothing could fill the hole in his heart better than that. And now that he has a taste for it, he won't let go easy. He will keep on living- if it means Ash will be by his side.

Which is a very dangerous position to put her in. Ash already feels responsible for her friends, and she doesn't even know that Aiden has "put" his life in her hands, not that it's her responsibility, because it isn't, but she will certainly feel responsible if Aiden does something FOR her.

Like He's so fucking obsessed and he doesn't even realize it- like look at how he sees her 😭 THE HEAVENLY GLOOOOOOW, LIKE SHES AN ANGEL AND HE THINKS SHE CAN SAVE HIM. BABY SHE CANT, YOU HAVE TO SAVE YOURSELF.

He could spiral so fucking bad. He could do some absolutely heinous things. Because he just doesn't know. He doesn't know how to love truly, yet. For him love really is that rush of adrenaline, the knife carving out his heart, he could be putty in her hands, or her executioner. This love that can be so obsessive, that he NEEDS it to function, like its water, like its the air he breathes. Its a compulsion, a fixation, a longing that burrows into your very soul. Ash doesn't even know what she's getting herself into-

Godddddd, it makes me so sick/ pos, it's SO FUCKING INTERESTINGGGGGG. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

I literally cannot function around this drawing 🫠

The. The hand. That way he's grabbing her. He's pulling her back. Towards HIM. like "this is mine. And I'm not sharing." And that little fucking look in his eyes, he just looks SO fucking pleased with himself. And Ash looks so...resigned. they're so doomed-coded, i love them so bad.

I don't know how I was supposed to NOT make a killer au, when he's just...like that around her.

Love is a wonderful thing. But love is also cruel, it is vicious, it is possessive and obsessive, and it will leave carnage in its wake.

Romantic love is an obsession. It possesses you. You lose your sense of self. You cannot stop thinking about another human being. -Helen Fisher

School bus graveyard incorrect quotes (3/3)

[applecranberryjuice]

Something something it's a metaphor. Hair as a form of communication but also as passage of time and also as a way for letting people in and also as a detail etc etc you get it

Actual explanation in the tags btw

I'm really nervous about this comic actually, is not the best. It doesn't make sense, and the art is mid, but I put love in it and I think that's enough

[lanavecorona]

Woe, ashlyn/aiden art be upon ye

(aiden saying yay and kissing her is a ref to this)

[gamergirl929]

If I didn't think I could hate Ashlyn Harris anymore than I already do, Sophia Bush does an interview and makes me hate them both to the NTH DEGREE.

SLIGHT FAST PASS 80 SPOILER IG??

[kalcium-yippee]

Time for my official School Bus Graveyard Wings of Fire au! ¡¡THIS IS UP TO CHANGE!! Thanks to @spikedcollarsketches for some of the tribe and name inspo!

Ashlyn: Sky-Night hybrid named Ashfall! She has seer and reading powers but similar to whiteout they are very weak and wonky. A lot of the time she doesn't even realize she is having a prophetic dream or if it's just vibes. Same for the mindreading

*Aiden: Sand-night hybrid, looks more like a sandwing, name Afeaa (ah-fah, Arabic for a viper of sorts). No powers from his nightwing side.

*Ben: Nightwing named Bloodvoice. It would be super cool to give him mindreading powers but sadly I will leave him with nothing. But the bacteria in his mouth works stronger.

Logan: a Leafwing named Larkspur. Leafspeak !! But feels weird using it, but enjoys the communicating with plants part

Tyler: Mud-Ice hybrid named Tectonic. Looks more like an Icewing than a Mudwing.

Taylor: Mud-Ice hybrid named Taiga. Looks more like a Mudwing than an Icewing

Tay and Tys are still up to change btw

Thx to the folks in the notes helping me develop these guys!!

**Aiden and Ben being related I had to sort that out. Aiden's mom is a nightwing and dad is a sandwing. Aiden mom, iirc, is sisters with Ben's mom- or at least it looks that way in the webtoon, correct me if I'm wrong,- so ben would be on the nightwing side of things, both parents being such. If I'm wrong just switch the parents around for Aiden lol

[lolokidss]

I'm definitely not re-reading SBG for the fourth time. 100%. I'm not mentally ill,you are.

Very tiny spoilers below

Also,Ashlyn is so real for this.

Also. Adorable how Aidens mood brightens just by seeing Ashlyn-

Giggling and kicking my feet <3

[stillfrownyclownlol]

I'm kinda sad cuz I relapsed, so. TW: for...semi graphic self harm? And negative thoughts?

Picked to the Bone

It started small. That's how things usually did, something miniscule, like a tumor missed during an X-ray scan until it was too late.

It was meaningless in the thought Aiden had given to it, that was to say, none at all. A scratch, a white line of raw skin. A baby cut, a scrapped knee. You had to pinch around it so it'd bleed.

He hadn't even been looking to hurt himself, that first time, it was just- curiosity.

There was the before, and the after. Before that, he could always say, no matter how bad it got, no matter how many days he decomposed in bed, no matter how long he didn't eat anything but ramen that he'd always puke back up, no matter how much urine soaked through his mattress, at least he could say that he wasn't one of those people. Attention seekers.

And then there was after. He couldn't take it back. Even invisible, he knew the mark was etched into his skin. It was a weakness.

There was a kind of release in it, though. He'd forever be that kind of person, so why not indulge himself?

Self-hatred is not innate, you must learn it, and she is a cruel teacher. But he'd always been a dedicated student. He was good at dealing with pain, graduated to styro swiftly. Spongy and white and soft under his knife, blood bubbling and staining the sink. His scars were raised skin, rough like a melon rind, made him want to open them all over again.

It was the easiest way to feel alive.

When Ben moved in, he didn't quite have the time, the privacy, not even half the urge to keep up. If Ben walked in on him bleeding on the bathroom floor, blade behind his back, he never said anything. Sat on his haunches and patched him as best as he could, red seeping through gauze.

They had matching wrists, the same scars. Blood brothers.

Oh, and when he met her. There was nothing better, nothing that could replicate the precise feeling she induced in him. Her hair was red, beautiful. Not like his eyes, not like his blood.

But it wasn't enough. He'd never dare to push her, and this was the poorest of substitutes, but it'd had to suffice for now.

He held the tip of the blade against his vein, felt it pulse against the metal.

Hate yourself, loathe yourself, despise yourself, and then you can do it.

He truly deserved this.

He could've been quick, plunge the knife and slash it, but an honest abhorrence made you want to suffer. He sank the blade into flesh, yielding easily, grit his teeth so hard it felt like they'd break.

It was done. Picked to the bone.

His breath shuddered, heartbeat roaring in his ears, made his eyelids twitch. Everything reminded him of being alive.

He heard his phone buzz, loud against the porcelain of the sink top, saw it light up like a beacon in the darkness.

He leaned forward, body heavy. The smell of copper flooding his nose. His hand was still shaking when he grabbed it, the weight of it in his palm pulling him back to reality.

Ash <3: hey. can i come over

He looked at his arm, tried to estimate how long it would take to wash away the blood, bandage it. He wanted to see her soon.

Aiden: sure! let me clean up :)

[clownin44]

I'm about to start mass producing Ben content to force people to talk about him (art wise)

And maybe Logan and Taylor and Tyler

[measuresderepo]

I want— no need a deleted scene of Big Red and Ashlyn buying lactate pills

[rockn-rule]

Well folks

I've finally made an official ref sheet for these two

Next will be their colours!
