You have to also wonder how long Tony had to sit in wardrobe because it must have taken a good hour to paint on those jeans. Talk about nothing to the imagination. It was like.. -Will Tight tight jeans. -Rider He must have had to butter up his legs to get into those jeans. -Will And He's got like a cowboy belt going...Like a nice belt.  -Rider Man just nuts. -Will Just nuts? -Rider ....Tony's the whole package. -Will [Everyone laughing]

one big thing about polyshipping for me is, like. you know how some people will have their eyes opened to homoerotic relationships in media bc they'll realize, "wait, if these people were two different genders, i'd 100% assume they're into each other. i have a double standard that i never noticed"?

there's a polyamorous equivalent in certain media that's basically just. "if you didn't assume this character is monogamous, you would 100% believe they have crushes on & are dating all of their friends." OR, "if this character wasn't dating somebody else already, you would 100% interpret this new friendship of theirs as a crush/budding romance."

usually the creators of the media aren't thinking about polyamory when they make it! usually the creators of the media are thinking "i want this character's friends to be as important to them as their romantic partners, we don't get enough of that in media," which is great and true and also EXACTLY WHY IT WORKS AS A POLY NARRATIVE. people will be like you don't Have to polyship why can't you just let platonic relationships be important ugh 🙄 & i'm like i did my years in the "why can't two men just be friends why does everything have to be gay 🙄" trenches. you're not doing this to me. we're not doing it about polyshipping. we're skipping over that whole discourse cutscene because i am Too Tired For It. don't even start

sometimes characters are so full of love and affection and joy for so many people that i start gnawing off my hands about how polyamory isn't normalized. because i'll watch/read certain media and i'll be like. listen. this is a polycule. i know you don't know this because your creators don't know this and that is totally okay but you are a Wildly polyamorous person who's ambiguously trapped in the 2000s/2010s with Big Monogamy psyops eating your brain. please let me free you. please i can give you Everything .

PLEASE KISS YOUR FRIENDS

“it’s just a warmup sketch,” i say to myself. “i’m just gonna warm up on shading and coloring. i’m just warming up on anatomy.” my spine crackles from sitting in shrimp stance for 2 hours. “just to warm up.”

And I sang, "Oh, what do I do?"

"What do I do?"

"What do I do?"

"But what do I do without you?"

Wandering Waves

When most people can’t sleep they listen to music. But not everyone lives next to a beach. So whenever you can’t sleep, you find yourself walking along the lines of the beach. It’s always a peaceful encounter, the sand between your toes. The salty scent in the air and the waves crashing against each other. 

And tonight was no different. You found yourself walking that same path—the salty scent in the air. Bring your mind some ease. The crashing sounds of the waves were more alluring than any, song you could think of; which could be a good thing. Nature has always been captivating to you. 

The crunching of the sand below your feet. The moon reflecting on the ocean's surface. Having a backdoor that leads toward a beach will always be awesome. You could never find something like this in Dahlia. Then again you moved away from Dahlia for this fresh start. After the inversion.. You knew you had to get out of there. 

And now you were here. On the coast enjoying the sand and the crashing waves. Everything was so pretty tonight. And it seemed you weren’t alone tonight. You could feel the presence of someone else. Perhaps it was the change of moonlight. Maybe it was the slight change in the atmosphere. 

Whoever ever it was you could feel them. Perhaps it was another soul who couldn’t sleep. Or just someone who wanted to walk the sandy beach like you. As long as they didn’t interrupt your calming stroll you didn’t care. One more lap and you’d go back home. But for right now.. You needed to combat your night terrors.

As the minutes passed the waves stopped crashing into each other. And the salty scent dulled. Soon it’d be time to go. Now that nature has cooled your nerves maybe you could sleep tonight. However.. You could feel someone watching you. Was it the stranger? Perhaps.. Where did that stranger go? 

‘’ It’s a lovely night no? ‘’ the voice was soft and caught you off guard at first. You turned your head towards the noise. He was beautiful… the way the moonlight danced off his skin, highlighting his beautiful.. Sliver eyes..it only made sense a person as such wouldn’t be human. 

‘’ yes, it is.. ‘’ you responded, sure you’d run into different types of empowered people before. Some are ruder than others. But never a vampire.. Never one with such grace. You were taught staring was rude. But you couldn’t help but not take your eyes off of him. And he knew that. Maybe it was just the aura that surrounded him. Who knows.

Not you. Now he was looking directly at you. ‘’ what is a beautiful dove like you doing out here? ‘’ his voice.. His accent slipping through on certain words.. He was a treasure, why were you out here again? Wait.. did he call you beautiful? He did, didn’t he? You felt your face flush at the recollection. 

This felt like a scene out of a storybook. ‘’ are you alright? ‘’ here you were, getting flustered at a stranger's words. While he was trying to talk to you. ‘’ I.. I’m okay.. ‘’ cluttered but at least you got something out. However, the beautiful stranger as you had taken to calling him. Was no longer looking at you. 

His beautiful eyes were being held captive by the returning waves. Maybe that disappointed you a little. Now that the stranger was turned away. You could get a good look at his features. Other than his vampiric eyes. The pale skin was expected, it comes with territory. Defined and graceful. 

Those were the only words coming to your mind. Even while standing and attempting to discuss with a stranger on the beach. He looked at ease, calmed. And something told you he was worried about something. ‘’ do you always stare longingly at people dove? ‘’ it was like you were thrown out of your trance. Dove.. you liked doves. 

‘’ n-..no I don’t try to.. You’re.. Nice to look at.. ‘’ maybe your eyes deceived you, but was there a small smile on his face barely covered by his hair. He took in a deep breath; Inhaling the salty air. The last few weeks had been long for him. Dealing with the aftermath of that event. 

Having to do something he’d hoped he’d never have to do again. And wanting to find the ones responsible for this. Yet he found himself on the east coast. Enjoying the waves and you. He found you Quite Interesting. Maybe that’s why he spoke to you. However, it was now his turn to feel a little jealous of the waves. 

He had lost your wandering eyes to the ever-growing waves. Nice to look at huh.. He hadn’t heard that one in a while. Humans are interesting.. Or well this one was. ‘’ what brings you out to the beach this late?..’’ he could feel your eyes on him. They burned with curiosity. After all William what were you doing out here? 

‘’ that’s a good question dove. ‘’ now that you two were locked-eyed. You could get a good look at him. As if you weren’t already doing that, it’s not every day you meet a beautiful stranger. Let alone one that calls you dove. ‘’ I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.. ‘’ he was smiling again, he has such a nice smile. It comments his eyes. 

‘’ how about names? ‘’ you didn’t want to refer to him as a stranger. It felt wrong, though his smile shifted slightly. ‘’ William.. William Solaire ‘’ Now you had his name. William, it was fitting..  It sounded familiar, but you couldn’t think why- ‘’ And yours Dove.. ‘’ there it was. That name.. Dove, you liked the way it rolled off his tongue. 

You didn’t realize your name also rolled off your tongue ‘’ you have a beautiful name.. Though if you don’t mind I’d like to call you Dove. ‘’ you nodded in agreement. You didn’t mind. He returned your nod and gestured for you two to sit. You were getting tired of standing. ‘’ now.. Dove, why are we out this late? ‘’ 

‘’ I like to watch the ocean, especially on nights I can’t sleep..’’ while you weren’t looking at him. He was looking at you. He was listening to you speak. Of course, you would later regret sitting on the bare sand. But the company was nice enough to take the risk. Or at least that's what you were telling yourself. 

‘’ what about you.. William? ‘’ you tried saying his name it felt nicer than calling him a handsome stranger.

‘’ escaping a source of stress ‘’ he moved his hair out his face. He wasn’t just escaping stress, he was looking for a distraction. And maybe that distraction was you. Being the head of a monarch is never a fun business. And with the fall out of the inversion. William couldn’t help but want a break from his responsibilities. 

Even if it was only for a night. Everything would be fine without him. He knew.. Or rather hoped. Everything would be okay. He turned his gaze back to the crashing waves; your company was greatly appreciated. Even if you didn’t know. That was fine.. Sometimes a pretty face is a good enough distraction. 

A yawn escaped your mouth. It was nearing bedtime. Your body had finally given in, and perhaps finally willing to let you sleep? The stranger.. No William had taken notice of your yawn, you weren’t making any attempt to mask it after all. ‘’ am I that boring? ‘’ he chuckled.  

‘’ no.. I wouldn- ‘’ your sentence was interrupted by another yawn. That time he broke into a slight smile. Was it a teasing smile? Perhaps.. But he was smiling. He seemed like he didn’t do that often. ‘’ no.. William, you’re not boring.. You’re interesting..’’ you managed to get out without a yawn trying to steal the rest of your sentence. 

That earned another chuckle from the mysterious man. ‘’ Most in your situation wouldn’t even talk to a stranger on the beach.. ‘’ he wasn’t wrong. You didn’t know why you felt comfortable around him. 

‘’Most people.. Don’t walk a beach when they can’t sleep either ‘’ you had a point. This was an uncommon practice. Especially at night, but you didn’t mind. You weren’t happy you couldn’t sleep. But you were happy you got to meet William.. You don’t meet many vampires.. Then again not many people bluntly say oh yeah im a vampire. 

And maybe I’d be better if William thought you didn’t know he was a vampire. 

Seems no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the magical world. It finds its way to you. Was that a good thing? Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. You attempt to muffle another yawn. However, the attempt fails. However, the yawn does gain William’s attention again. 

‘’ dove.. You should probably head home. ‘’ you were getting tired. But you didn’t want to go. You wanted to stay and conversate with William. You couldn’t help your eyelids were closing every so often, nor how many yawns were escaping your mouth right now. What, was that the third one? You can’t remember. 

‘’ im.. Not.. ti- ‘’ you couldn’t even finish a clear sentence before another yawn stole the rest of it. William was taking notice, and getting reminded of Vincent's rebellious days. He couldn’t help but smile. Perhaps this trip to the beach wasn’t as much of a bad idea as he thought. Nonetheless, you needed to get home. 

‘’ come on up ‘’ William stood looking at your half-sleep state. Your attempt to stand was met with a flop, as you fell. Flat on your bottom. If you didn’t have sand in your unmentionables before. You most definitely did now. 

‘’ Lets try that again..’’ william stuck out his hand. You missed it at first, however you found your fingers locked in with his. As the strong grip pulled you off the sand. He was surprisingly warm.. ‘’ now where too. ‘’ yes, where too.. 

William attempted to follow the directions you were given. But even at his age, he didn’t understand. your sentences were interrupted by either a yawn or you’d lose your footing. He found it funny. You reminded him when he was your age. Of course that was a while ago- 

You were losing your footing again. That wasn’t good. In one swift motion, you and William were mere inches away from each other's faces. ‘’ Dove.. How about I carry you? ‘’ perhaps this was something from a storybook. You nodded; might as well ride out the rest of this fantasy. 

As if you weighed nothing he lifted you off the ground. Bits of sand falling from your night clothes. His grip was tight- he was also holding you close. Once again the warmth radiating from this man was.. Breathtaking, and slumber-inducing. Your eyes were closing again. 

Perhaps he remembered the poorly given directions to the place you called home now. You closed your eyes and gave into the sandman's slumber. Who knew a walk on the beach could lead to an interesting night?

Playing as a female Durge hits differently because I see Durge and Orin' sister relationship as the equivalent of Vietnamese Cinderella and her younger stepsister minus the cannibalism (before you ask, there are multiple instances of murders and cannibalism going on in our version and it is NOT done to outsiders)
