This is Aetherstatic's OTP blog, this is functionally an archive for my art but specifically of the ship between Copper and Scottie AKA Mechanical Doll, nothing else matters here. ♡︎

꧁♡︎ Copper belongs to me! Scottie belongs to @thelostmoongazer! ♡︎꧂

Sorta all over the place but these were some sketches from when I started developing Coppers lore more for HS AU

A naïve boy who wanted to do good getting told a glorious lie and joining up at the ripe age of 18 and is still paying consequences of that decision at 32, still feeling the reverberations of that single mistake

In my head these sketches were around from when before they were dating but still besties which is really amusing considering they're over here having having sleepovers and hanging out like an old married couple

I was really proud of this one, this is a view of Coppers desk area in his class! I think I would like to redraw it eventually maybe

We love bad bitches

Oh my god I haven’t even shown Highschool AU yet I’m a fake ass fannnnnn

This was some of the first sketches from 2024 of it and it’s still one of my fave aus, honestly helped with a lot of development with Copper (and his relationship with Scott ofc smirk)

Whenever I draw my OCs as human now it’s usually HS AU even if not explicitly said, the base human AU if you will

Scottie in Inscryption was pretty epic

I remember doing research on jumping spider life cycles and decided to draw Copper at the different instar stages for fun

His i2 stage is my favorite, he's microscopic 💜

Andddd after-hours I'm sure

HELL YEAHHH

God I love the designs for this AU they’re so pretty

The Toymaker Witch, Langlebigkeit, his nature is preservation!

Previously Scottie

The Escherian Witch, Penrose, his nature is heartbroken!

Previously Copper

It's kind of sad that they didn't at least get to become witches together since Scott destroyed Copper's witch and carried his grief seed until he also turned some indisclosed amount of time later.

{A Rapid Descent}

I know I keep saying that his soul corruption would be instantaneous if he finds out, but if I'm being honest it would probably be more like a few days or a week at most. In that time he would be reluctant to fight witches as he'd see them as more human than anything now, and would try and "save" them and fail each time.

Moreover, during all of this, he would be starving himself of grief seeds as purifying his own soul with the remains of another is horrifying to him now. He wont stop others from doing it because he knows that objectively they need that to live but he just can't bring himself to do it anymore.

Of course, days of this behavior and the truth gnawing away at his mental state will eventually bring him to the end of his contract.

Now i will say he is talking to someone else so

I fucking love this AU

At least Coppers grief seed is pretty to look at

Honestly one of the reasons I like this AU is because it shows how easy it can be for Copper to get tunnel vision and become obsessive over a self imposed purpose. He really just wanted to help people and in turn save the witches when he learned the truth but turns out staking your everything on an impossible goal isn't too greatttt

especially when it turns out to be all bullshit

So at this time it was Artfight 2024! I think this was the first year of AF I ever joined hehe ngl I still like this piece he’s really pretty in this one there’s only a few things I’d adjust but it still holds up!
