So me and WeiszRabbit had a funny haha thought, wondering how much of the King remains in the Beheaded or if the Beheaded is just an entirely new person altogether due to the lack of memories.

Yeah, Beheaded is still a selfish asshole, but he's starting to change due to a certain cat's influence. He'll never truly be as kind or as selfless as Drifter to other people, but he can at least love someone for real and make choices that help instead of harm.

So wouldn't be funny if parts of the King still exist, buried deep down despite becoming a humunculus, losing memories, becoming a new being entirely. The little bits coming out as intrusive thoughts of taking what's his in toxic possessiveness. Beheaded at this point understood that people would mockingly call him a King back in his world, but didn't really get what he once was and what that actually meant. He sees it as something amusing, but an identity that ultimately takes a backseat to the ADHD level shenanigans that distract him. It's also funny that he asks Drifter to call him his King sometimes, and it makes him feel....pretty great.

But once in a while, something rattles the cage of something buried deep within, and the Beheaded has to deal with thoughts and impulses that don't make sense to him, but can be overwhelming. Just how much of himself is himself, or someone else? He'll have to now deal with this sudden surge of jealousy and possessiveness whenever his Drifter has positive interactions with others, and the confusion at the raw concern, love, and care from said cat that he feels like he doesn't deserve...for some reason.

We love angst in this house yes we do.

Funneh notes. Drifter is smoll cause I like the idea of a little obligate carnivore that can tear your throat out. He also engages in a lot of feline behavior like chin/head bonking, so he has to stand on his tippy toes and Guardian has to bend down a little for a greeting lol. The musical notes are chirping. He can't speak more than a word or two at a time, but can still make natural feline-like noises, so he has a specific chirp for each person that acts like a personalized name/greeting.

These two have more issues than a magazine rack and its fun to rp them trying to sort through it all.

Rough sketchy comic lol. That's all I got for now, gottah polish up some other sketches aweee~

I swapped their outfits :smile:

Random sketchies for a Driftcells RP from over the last few months. Mostly trying to figure out how I want things to be, and how we both wanted to play out our characters (I play Drifter). Alt text has some context for things! But yes, I HC Drifter as a cute kitty man who just happens to be an apex obligate carnivore with sharp teeth, crazy bite force, and tapetum lucidum (eye shines). Also yes cute beans. I'll eventually have a full ref and extended headcanon musings later, but for now enjoy me dipping my toes into posting shipping art again.

This song had me in an iron grip and I associate it strongly with Driftcells. So I had to make a sketchy little coming thing about it.

If I had the time and program needed I'd try to make an animatic set to the song. The Cave by Mumford & Sons.

The idea of Drifter trying his best to stay positive and keep going despite Judgement literally choking the life out of him, while Beheaded is helpless to do anything about it, gets to me.

CW: blood!

oh godamnit HONEY, THERE ARE GAY PEOPLE IN THE CLOSET AGAIN, GET THE HOSE
