🌹🌹

oh here's one to present without context:

For a second, Byleth stood more or less upright, only bracing with his opposite leg against the force of impact, and felt not much of anything in particular. A moment later, he stumbled to the side and dropped his sword, clutching the side of his head as it exploded with pain.

For the WIP ask game!

Oh Boy Three Of Them... ok here's some mid-timeskip dimitri angst since that's all I'm good for right now

Dimitri no longer deserved his salvation, but the others—the ones still living, and the ones yet to be avenged—if Byleth still lived, he might… Would he look for him? Dimitri did not deserve to be saved.

two whole sentences! I bet I have those somewhere, uh.

ok here's byleth and felix playing swords, as they do :)

The aggression with which they chased and baited each other around the arena would have been disastrous if either one of them were to falter even slightly and alarming if there had been any reason to suspect bad blood between them. The Archbishop lunged with shocking force, but was knocked away at the last moment by a neat parry and then pushed almost into a backwards run to avoid the Duke’s answering riposte—several spectators with knowledge of white magic clenched their fists in anticipation of being needed, but both combatants continued on unscathed.

for every "🌹" received in my inbox i'll post one random sentence of a random WIP i'm currently writing

[xenonsdoodles]

in which Claude drops a "hey bestie" on Dimitri and sets off multiple crises (from an as yet unwritten post-AM fic bouncing around in my head)

2, 12, and 15? :D

ooh, fun ones!

2. OT3?

tough one... there are a lot of good trios in this cast, but I'm either going to struggle to think of one where I can see them all as romantic with each other at the same time OR to pick one option out of the many many possibilities if I open my mind a little more. so I'm going to pick my top three and they are:

dimitri/byleth/dedue (even though my default is reading dedue's feelings towards dimitri as platonic devotion) aka the royal faerghan cuddle pile, because they're my dream team and they can all read each other's minds by the end of AM

dorothea/mercedes/ingrid, because this is among the best and most distressing things that could possibly happen to ingrid and it would be good for her. and for all of them really

dimitri/sylvain/felix. because of vibes and because they're funny. when they aren't tragic anyway.

12. What's the funniest or craziest AU idea you've ever come up with?

I cannot claim all or even most of the credit for bugvain, but he does live in my head and I think about him every time I see an isopod. here I drew him

15. Have you noticed your style change over time?

yeah, definitely. I think it's pretty much inevitable if you create for long enough. I don't think of my style as changing moment to moment (I try new ideas and vary techniques plenty, but that's not a complete style shift), but looking back on my old art/writing is like… wow. a lot has changed since then huh. though I'm not sure where I'd draw the line between "style change" and "technical skill improvement" tbh

[xenonsdoodles]

22 for byleth!

22. Give us a headcanon for [character]

I was just thinking about one, actually! one of my first headcanons when I started the game was that he's farsighted and didn't know until he came to the academy. his vision is mostly okay but he struggles with close-up details, and I imagine someone during his first week or so watching him prop up a book on the opposite side of the table to read and tentatively asking if he's ever had his eyes checked.

turns out the glasses helped!

going to start bringing a sketchbook with me out in public so I can draw in it and someone will come up to me and say "wow that drawing is amazing, can I buy that" and I'll say "no" and they'll say "no, really, name a price" and I'll say "$300" and they'll say "really? thanks so much" and I'll say "no, you still can't have the art, I was just saying you can give me $300 if you want" and they'll say "oh" and then they'll say "I'm fascinated with you" and I'll say "keep that to yourself. see you later" and close my eyes and wait for them to leave

Linhardt grabbed Byleth’s hand in his own and pulled it towards himself, palm up, and sighed wearily. “You’re not much of a healer, are you?”
