Kinda occurred to me while I was writing fanfics the other day, I feel like money would be an argumentative topic for Blackheart and Ambrosius.

Like yes it's fun to explore all the. You know. Horrible angst they'd probably argue about but they would also be like, a regular adult couple that would argue about regular adult couple things, like money. And like-

Ambrosius grew up homeless in abject poverty, Ballister (if we're going off his Lord title) likely grew up with wealth, but his father's reckless spending and gambling caused their family to lose everything. In their young adult lives Ambrosius was a celebrity who probably had tons of disposable income, while Ballister lived pretty modestly and any ill-begotten funds he got his hands on went to his research.

So I can see a situation where like, Ballister obviously wants to save money and not spend on frivolous things in part due to practicality and in part due to childhood trauma, and he has a partner who is used to spending as much as he pleased without consequence, and who is reacting against his own childhood trauma of lacking comfort and nice things.

I imagine it wouldn't be terribly uncommon for Ballister to become frustrated when he feels like Ambrosius is being too cavalier with their money (and probably triggering a latent fear of losing what they have), and Ambrosius feeling misunderstood and deprived by Ballister not wanting him to spend money (and probably also triggering a latent fear of not having any control over his standard of living)

I think they'd reach a compromise about it eventually but it's interesting to think about

thinking about how the first thing we learn about ambrosius is that he ruined ballister’s life. but the first time we see him in person he (in a way) saves it

Hello and sorry for the delay, in regards to the ask I sent in a little while back. What I meant to say was timewise; can you do a drabble where they're (Comicverse A and B) in-between after the Joust incident but before their reconciliation? It would be in the middle of those years where they had a kinda undefined relationship (Not canon but as canon compliant as possible). Could you have it where A maybe takes care of B for an unrelated injury or consoles him thru something mentally? Just something that A does to help B without wanting to gain something from him. Which then that unintentionally builds a little bit of trust back. I hope that helps, sorry if I came across jumbled or made it worse (Lol and my crimes against punctuation). Anyway thank you so much for your time and wanting to clarify w me! I appreciate you so much :)

Hiii!! Thank you so much for clarifying your request, this was a very cute idea and I really enjoyed writing it!! It's a bit on the longer side for a drabble but I hope you like it!!

“God damnit!” Ballister spat, limping towards his hideout. This latest attempt to infiltrate the castle had proven far less successful than he'd hoped. The Institution put in a bunch more booby traps than the plans he'd intercepted showed. His leg was ensnared in barbed wire, as he'd abandoned his armor to fit through the narrow drainage gate. He ended up bloodied before his nemesis even got a chance to show up. He really hoped he wouldn't find him and rub his face in this now.

“Need a hand?” Said a voice from the woods. Ballister narrowed his eyes. “Come to gloat, Goldenloin?”

There was silence and then a rustling of leaves as the shiny, bronze-clad knight stepped out of the shadows. “Come on, don't be like that. I didn't set those traps, I didn't even know they were there! Nobody expected you or anyone else to try and bust in that way.” He looked at Ballister's leg. “You're hurt.”

“Oh gee, I wonder how that happened?” He replied sarcastically. Ambrosius rolled his eyes. “My horse is tied a bit further back on the path. He's good for double-riding, we’ll get you home.”

“I am not escorting you back to my house, have you lost your mind?”

Ambrosius crossed his arms. “Well I can't well let you stumble back there on your own in this state! But fine, I anticipated you might be stubborn about it, so I brought a first aid kit.” He rifled through his pack. “There's a clearing just up the road here.”

Ballister swallowed. Damn, he really didn't want to take help from Ambrosius, the bastard probably had some scheme planned. If he wasn't gonna arrest him, it'd be something else. But what choice did he have? He couldn't get back home in this state, not without getting patched up first. “Fine.”

Ambrosius smirked triumphantly, which was infuriating, and tucked an arm up under Ballister's shoulder on his bad side. Surprisingly gentle, he supported his weight while they limped to a nearby clearing off the road, where they wouldn't be seen.

Ballister hissed looking at his leg when he sat down. It would heal, but it was definitely sprained and torn up.

Ambrosius lit a lantern and took out his medical supplies. So far, Ballister didn't see signs of funny business. He insisted upon inspecting the iodine before allowing Ambrosius to use it, but there appeared to be nothing amiss.

Ambrosius donned a pair of gloves and wire-cutters and began carefully snipping and pulling away the barbed wire. Ballister fought to remain composed, but damn, it hurt like a bitch. For once, Ambrosius was quiet, not mocking. “I know,” he said softly. “I know it hurts. I'm almost done.” He dampened a gauze rag with iodine and dabbed the area.

Ballister’s eyes snapped wide and he bit hard on his tongue to stop from screaming. That shit always burns something awful. He briefly thought maybe Ambrosius was doing this to get pleasure from hurting him, but the way his brow furrowed said something different. “Shhh, take deep breaths. I’m sorry, I'm sorry, almost done.” He examined the leg. “It doesn't look like you need any stitches, so I'll bandage this up, okay?”

Ballister nodded stiffly, and he watched as those hands, bare from the scaled armor that usually concealed them, wrapped clean gauze bandaging around his calf with all the care and precision in the world. His eyes were focused, not manic as usual. He almost looked like the young man Ballister once loved, when he would ice his sprains and stroke his hair. Almost.

Ambrosius tied off the bandage and patted the leg. “That ought to feel better.”

Ballister pulled his leg away and tucked it under himself. “Why are you doing this?”

Ambrosius looked at him, almost puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“Oh please. You know it's weird! Why patch me up? What's your angle?”

Ambrosius shrugged. “You know my angle already.” He looked away, and the cocky veneer glossed over his face again, accompanied by a toothy grin. “You're my nemesis. If anything bad happens to you, I'll be out of a job!”

“Ugh!” Ballister rolled to his feet and began limping back to the path.

“Ballis– Lord Blackheart, wait!”

He swiveled. “What do you want, Goldenloin? What do you actually want?”

“Oh! Um–” he played with his hands. “You should take my horse. It will be hard to walk. Just send him back tomorrow.”

“Oh, you got a tracker on him or something?”

Ambrosius rolled his eyes. “I already know where your fortress is! Why would I even– just take him, okay? Just send him back, he'll get sad without his friends at the stable. He can find his own way home, he's done it before.”

Ballister took a deep breath, but he relented. He looked over the beast once Ambrosius retrieved it and as he claimed, there was nothing nefarious that stood out. Looking at that face, the face he once loved so deeply, saying goodbye, it felt somehow different.

Maybe the Ambrosius he loved wasn't all gone, maybe parts of him remained. There was an understanding between them. Maybe not quite trust, but there was something, like it or not, and there always would be

I've made my peace with what that says about me

But you guys have no idea what it's like.

He knows what a shitty person I am,

But he still smiles at me.

Remember that time I brought up that AoT TikTok audio? And @liferemains made a really sick edit? And I said I wanted to make a drawing about it? Yeah.

(Also I'd be lying if I said I didn't get the idea to include the movie boys from the recent pages of @pdalicedraws crossover comic that is awesome and amazing and everyone needs to go read right now)

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

a little something that’s going to stay super sketchy, enjoy :’)

audio source link in reblogs!

The people have spoken, also look at this Gaussian-ass distribution lmfao

(jk ty for voting and ty to anyone who likes my work 🩷🩷🩷 I'll continue writing as I like but I'll try to be inclusive of both smutty and sfw audiences whenever possible :,)

Hey y'all so I was curious based on an Ask I got a few days ago.

We all know that a lot of my work contains smut and/or sexually suggestive content, I haven't actually sat down and counted through the fics on AO3 but if I had to guess it's a little more than half. I know a lot of people like my smut but I got the request to upload cleaner content, so I'm curious.

Ultimately I write for myself so I'm not gonna super limit what I write based on these results but I'm curious to know.

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

Of course, I couldn't forget to draw Nimona themself!

Awful thought of the day

If Ballister had died in the joust, as he very well could have, Ambrosius would not have been long to follow.

I think he'd manage to dissociate from the experience for a couple years, tops. Become the champion, etc. But considering how we can see how loose his grip on reality got as a result of the joust, I imagine if it had gone worse he'd have just lost it.

"I love this couple so much, they are both so tender and sad. It still makes me smile to see anything related to them, even if I've already seen it a thousand times. Although I prefer the animated version, because the physical and verbal affection shown to each other warms my heart."

Someone submitted this anonymous comment on the Goldenheart Week Prompt Voting Poll and it was too good not to share!

Yes, I was absolutely sold on movie!Goldenheart when Bal just sort of melted against Ambrosius' shoulder before the knighting ceremony. Comic!Goldenheart also has a great dynamic, and hopefully each day during Goldenheart Week will have prompts that speak to both movie and comic enjoyers.

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

No but Ambrosius is so clearly an impulsive guy who always acts before he thinks, especially when there's big emotions involved. How many times did Ballister tell him to think before he acts? Ambrosius isn't sure, but as he watched Ballister's arm fall to the floor, he really wished he had taken the advice to heart

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

Ambrosius antagonizing someone in a self-destructive outburst? Not surprising. Nimona breaking up a fight? Surprising.
