Soft fluffy Dammon dating drabble? Maybe postgame in Baldur's Gate? - @aurasyn

Yesssss I love me some Dammon. I'm even writing Dammon x Reader for you. Because it's you.

You're standing outside Bloomridge Park, just at the entrance. Wearing your favorite dress, you pinned up your hair in a messy bun – cute, but not too much. After all, you weren't really sure if this was a date, or all in your head.

Dammon had asked you if you wanted to meet him for a stroll through the park two days ago when you visited him in his shop to check on him. He'd looked good, as most of his worries seemed to have fallen off his face after you'd destroyed the Netherbrain. That night you hardly slept, tossing and turning in your bed trying to shut out the questions that were keeping you awake: Had he really asked you out or was that a catchup between friends? But then again, why had he eyed you with such intensity the moment he'd spotted you? Why had his voice cracked when he had asked you if you had time? Had it really? Were you just imagining things?

Well. You'll find out soon enough.

It doesn't take long for Dammon to stroll around the corner of the street, and you almost do a double take as you realize he looks different: He's wearing a dark gray shirt, several of the buttons undone, and you see the ridges across his chest peek out underneath. The pants he's wearing are of a thinner fabric than his usual smith gear, and your heart skips a beat as you wonder what his ass looks like in them. Then, you see it: He's holding a small present in his left hand.

"It's good to see you", his voice pours into your ears and down to your heart, that damned smooth sound you've come to crave. "You too", you tell him, and there's a moment of awkward tension as you realize you've never seen him outside the smithie. Are you supposed to hug? Shake hands?

Dammon breaks the tension by pulling you in with his hand around your waist, planting a soft kiss on your cheek. When he looks at you again, he breaks into a confident but gentle smile. Oh. Yes. This is a date, alright.

"You look great", he continues as he offers you his arm to hook yours into as you walk through the park. "But then again, you always do." This time you chuckle. "I've only ever walked into your shop dressed in armor, sweat, and occasionally blood", you protest. "Well, maybe except for Thursday." He hums as you stroll through the shade of the big, blooming trees. Miraculously, Bloomridge Park did not suffer much destruction during the Netherbrain's attack, making it an even sweeter oasis in the otherwise wounded city. "You're forgetting that I not only see you walk in, I also get to watch you walk out."

The way his tone lowers at the end of his sentence sends a shiver down your spine, and you swallow several times before you even know what to say. From the corner of your eyes you see he's watching you, and oh, fuck, he can definitely tell you're blushing. But when you meet his gaze there is only sincerity.

"By the way", he switches the subject, and you half wish he wouldn't, now that you hadn't even replied. "I got you something." He hands you the little present, a small box unceremoniously decorated with a small bow. "That... you didn't need to", you object, but he shakes his head. "I know. But I wanted to."

When you open it you find an intricate silver key.

"I made it myself", Dammon explains. You take it out to inspect it more closely, and it is of excellent craftsmanship: small flowers, autumn crocuses, adorn the key. A small memory comes rushing in as you recall that you were holding an entire basket full of the flowers when you first met Dammon in the Emerald Grove. The fact that he remembers... your stomach twists.

"It's beautiful", you tell him truthfully. "But what is it for?" You've come to pause on a grassy spot, as secluded as anything can be in the park, and being here with him, alone, sends your heart into a stutter. The tiefling gives you a soft smile before taking your hands.

"I like you", he says, and you feel like you're falling right into those deep blue eyes. "This key... it's for my heart. It's yours. If you want it." Your mouth falls open as you try to comprehend: he.... likes you. He... wants you. "Yes." It's all you can bring out, and it's more than enough, as he brings his mouth to yours and kisses you. His lips are warm on yours, tenderly teasing you, as he sucks on your lower lip. When you break apart, you find yourself grinning wider than the whole sky.

Chuckling, Dammon lets out a small sigh of relief. "Good", he says, "that's good. Otherwise that reservation I made for dinner would have been a lonely feast."

Happy Spookiween! - October Magma Drawings!

WELL WELL WELL I may not have a full art piece, but I DO have...some new sygna suit designs! These were done for @choochooboss 's spooktacular magma! We were tasked to do some sygna suits, and I was HYPED to participate! Sadly...the prince of pasio will have to wait for his flashy outfit...but as compensation, have Hoopa dressed as Lear! (He absolutely stole the shades.) Hope you all enjoy these! Check out below for the concept sketches for Ingo and Emmet!

Sygna Suit Ingo & Chandelure! I'm sure many have done the idea...and I wished to do my own interpretation of the concept! Though, I was almost too shy to do it. Thankfully with enough encouragement from friends, I was motivated to bring this idea to life!

Sygna Suit Emmet & Shiny Hisuian Zoroark! Now THIS was something many didn't expect! Inspired by the chats and brainstorming myself and my close friend would have, I ended up doing an initial idea for a simple outfit inspired by the pokemon a few months back! Now, with the magma, I was inspired to take that simple concept and just dial it up to eleven! I was nervous that it wouldn't be just as cool as the design for Ingo, but I'm glad it didn't end up being the case!

Last night I had a dream someone was interviewing Tintin but every question he just answered “maybe” and I’ve been thinking about it all day

Asdhdhsffshd now I'm picturing it and I can't stop laughing

"Tintin, is it true you hijacked a plane and flew it despite having no experience flying planes?"

"...maybe..."

But fr, Tintin's out here committing crimes and maybe even killing people, I think it's in his best interest to be evasive when he's being interviewed 😂😂

[m00ngbin]

Take some Teru concepts I made while I finish up the last few things I'm drawing!!!

I'm so sorry they're taking so long I have had a really long week 😭

Go read The Forgotten Son pretty pretty please :3 it's by @teruthecreator on ao3 and it's so good. You'll love it I promise

Oh um this is me editing this, I originally forgot to actually tag him when first I posted this. ANYWAYS HE USES THE SAME NAME ON AO3 AS HE DOES ON HERE

[tearwolfe]

Do you ever get any hate? (I like how you draw ruikasa so much my eyebrows flew away)

the only hate i get is from my besties who have to deal with me talking about tsukasa all the time

[canisalbus]

hi i ride motorcycle year round and wanted to chime in. for vasco's small around-town trips he'd probably be fine with his ears free, but for longer trips at higher speeds or when its cold out he'd want them protected. probably by tucking them under his chin into the collar of a jacket and then putting a scarf or bandana on. also goggles would be helpful if a full helmet wasn't wanted. since they're in europe and around italy specifically he could have a nice ducati (fast rockety sport bikes) or a cafe racer (much more like a motorized bicycle but they can still have a lot of power) a cafe racer would offer a lot of seat space for machete to be thoroughly uncomfortable in lol

i love your ocs they're great thanks for all the cool art :)

top 5 blazblue character designs

YIPPEE BLAZBLUE

I feel like my tastes are known but I still will take this chance to gush a bit about the characters and design philosophy of em that Ive always been real fond of :)

No particular order here or else I'll be here all night formatting on mobile. More under the cut!

HAKUMEN it goes without saying I LOVE HAKUMEN'S DESIGN SO MUCH. The taloned tabi, the silhouette of wide pants and closefitted shinguards/torso. The faces/eyes scattered across his armour while the face is totally blank—made more unreadable and inhuman by the slats of neck guard. Fox-ears built into the helm shape to feel both animal and mechanical like antennae...and obviously the longass hair to sell the "tailed" look.

I remember reading really early on into liking BlazBlue—I can't remember the source, come maul me if I'm wrong—I read that Hakumen as a character and design was made when Mori was in middle or highschool, the idea of "what is really cool," and much of those ideas stayed. I not only really respect that and think its charming as someone who still likes MY own designs from that time, but, as it turns out, middle schoolers are still right. Hakumen is very cool. Augh. Fucking? Time travelling fox-robot samurai who's here to kill his brother to save him and also himself because his old self wanted to do the same thing for the wrong reason and thay thought disgusts him. Also him and Tsubaki in general make me start to choke (positive). God ok I have four more guys to discuss. Yes i also like Susanoo but I feel like thats a copout, I like that he's both animalistic and brutal martial arts as the God of War. Anyways CONTINUING

VALKENHAYN R HELLSING I will admit that he is an old man in a suit and that speaks to me but that he's one of the strongest beings alive as a old man in a suit ohh. And he's a werewolf ohhhh. Shifting just his body parts to kick and rip with his claws, quickly leaping back and forth between a normal bone-breaking jab or knee or biting and snarling—the dance between raw force and refined precision and a brutal tear's always been sooo cool to see and think about. I also think his ribbon in his hair moving to his wolfy tail is very cute. A man of sharp extremes from refined to flashing his fangs, human and wolf, cool and very cute. I like him :)

TSUBAKI YAYOI her uniform is so nice uruururururugh. Big cape and the way it drapes around her in combat like wings... Her sword and buckler/Izayoi looking so unique for being a "basic sword and shield for the hero"-type of deal! The eye on her hat's always been really striking too—the only "cold" colours being her and her uniforms eyes.....................Sparing a glance at Hakumen's recurring red eyes for no reason here. Knightly angel women and her flower-like "tassets" hanging off her clothes. Its a uniform which plausibly feels like it could be a uniform—she doesn't have anything uniquely "hers" or "for this female character" while still being really standout and clean. Her design's just really good guys. You can do so much.

Really want to mention her masked look too at least really quick here. my girllllll...

RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE well of course I really like his design. Yeah him being here is partially obligation because I love his character a lot but both things inform each other in the end. Mr Grim Reaper, Enemy of the World, red-and-black with a demon's arm on one side and a rebuilt one on the other. His big red coat and the oversize shoulders! The massive baggy pants—I love the silhouette he has. Blood Scythe/Aramasa/His sword transforming and able to clack around and shift's just. Always been such a cool design. Seithr-powered man, devil-smoke powered man, ashes of your own old dead self-powered man. Ragna is fucking cool auauauuuaghrhg.

And it DOES only make it more charming that he has a good heart, has a bit of a Kicked Puppy charm about him if you can pardon uhh that implication. He is just some fucking guy and he likes barbecues. He is sweet and cares for stray cats. His dad is a cat. He blows up the government regularly. He's a rebel who visually looks really clean if "intentionally trying to look like someone you should think is cool", which is both dork-charming and cute and also actually yeah cool because it's not a visual mess.

I like that his arm underneath is all belts and bandaged—Bloodedge only wearing half his coat for example is such a good look and it shows his clean black shirt underneath, which feels a lot like... Under that big eyecatching rebel coat of his (personality), Ragna's... Ragna, I don't know. I hope that makes sense. Knowing his personality makes me like his design a lot more than if I didn't I think.

As mentionned in Hakumen's block of text however: I already really like chuuni-ass designs, so combined in Ragna he makes me unwell entirely.

And last (I am running out of images allowed per post :((((( )

Kitty peepaw. I am cheating slightly here. I like the Kaka Kittens' big hoods too and think they're very cute and very eyecatching and I adore them always—the kittens especially being stompy little things that travel in packs are really cute. I love that Jubei, actual strongest thing in the world, has the oversized paw sleeves too. There's cat claws bigger than his body stored in what looks like emo kids' oversize hoodie sleeves. He's so simple and still the imagery of that coat gets reused several times over and it looks good every time. Orange kitty peepaw. AND he has an eyepatch, how can I not like eyepatches.

There are my 5 favourite BlazBlue designs :> Sorry if them all being C series or smth is boring wauh. I can spend as long as I want thinkinh about it but I do always seem to come back to these guys, give or take one change depending on the mood. Unchanging faves are Hakumen and Tsubaki for sure and forever though.
