Old art because life is taking every itty bitty time I’ve got left….BUT, I still wanted to contribute to this awesome day and awesome tag and awesome ship!
[it] makes you almost miss the smell of smoke in your clothes /
there’s no good in your eyes anymore.
but you can’t stay angry forever.
and i know, but you can’t stay angry forever, / or so i’m told.
but the house gets so quiet,
sitting here wishing for just an hour or two, alone with you.
well, it’s always too personal, / always too close to comment,
and they all mention how tired you look
and you realize you haven’t said a word in hours
hiding, pianos become the teeth.
early days arthur and john, at sean's homecoming party. things around camp are still tense and arthur's resentment still bleeds through.
Dutch to Hosea: "You're like a brother to me." (canonically hold hands and are implied long term lovers)
John to Arthur: "You're like a brother to me."
Pretty self-explanatory, isn't it?
(Back in the homophobic world, that was one of very few, if not the only acceptable way to show the affection to other men and not get yourself killed.)
ok it's been a hot minute but hey I'm back with day 19 and since it's Monday I thought I'd turn it into morston monday as well
edit: I'm not sure how much of yeehawgust I'm gonna do because i don't really know what to draw for the prompts and also I'm bad at going through with challenges
Imagine John forces Arthur to escape with him. John being by his side always..dressing his wounds from the gun fights earlier..making warm soup and feeding him..slowly but surely nursing Arthur back to health. Arthur’s super thankful for everything john has done for him despite the warning (and the scolding).
Since Arthur cant do much except (forced) bedrest, he picks up his journal and draws..most of his subjects being john doing mundane tasks around the cabin. John knows but never says anything.
