if ur willing to take requests could we get Grace actually having a very nice and insightful convo with Ellie abt the blood moon science and Simon getting jealous lmao

Sorry u were in my inbox for so long lol, got caught up in a buncha other stuff

With it all drawn out, Simon doesn't rlly come across as jealous per say but he sure is petty! Thanks for the idea :]

Don't they look slick together?

Yes

first ever post on tumblr and it's gay as hell. like god intended.

for the freaks out there💪

Naming the eel Ellie sounds like such a Ryland Grace thing to do I just had to make this

I believe zines and fan events are huge community builders within a fandom! I hope that this blog will help people find events to join, and help grow the lovely community of this fandom :)

Rather fond of the fics that just put these two through more hell, so ofc I’m loving Virtual Insanity by @bronzeplates rn

I’ll honestly probably do more drawings like this for the fic as chapters come out cause it’s pretty fun. Plus, Art Fight is wrapping up and I’ll have bit more freedom with what I spend my time drawing.

are you JKIDDING ME??? The rendering??? the line work????? omfg i’m gonna die you can’t do this to me

Breakfast with Eddie and the Forest Hills strays

He’s not K-I-S-S-I-N-G-ing anyone or anything. He’s just sitting, carving his name into the bark of the tree with a pocketknife he stole from Tommy’s brother and muttering swear words.

He’s been six years old for three days and life could not be worse.

Everyone treats him like he’s five so he’s run away from home.

Steve looks off into the distance where he can kinda see his house through the leaves and wonders if they miss him yet. He wonders if they found his letter. Probably not.

He frowns.

He calls his dad a rat bastard under his breath and starts carving an H next, and then freezes.

There’s a rustling in the grass below and when he looks, he sees the Weird Kid doing Weird Kid things.

Eddie walks into view, knocks against a tree trunk, listens, and then moves on. He does this three times before knocking on Steve’s tree.

“What are you doing?” Steve calls down to him.

“Looks for a creature,” Eddie smiles back up at him, eyes squinting in the sunlight. “Come down here. I got something for you.”

A gift!

Steve hurried down the tree, only scrapping his hand a little which means he’s improving. His feet are barely on the ground before he’s engulfed in a tight hug.

“I’ll miss you,” Eddie says into Steve’s shoulder. “I’ll think about you forever.”

“Are you leaving?”

“My dad is comin’ to pick me up tomorrow,” Eddie explains, keeping his hands on Steve’s shoulders when he leans back. “Summer is over and I gotta to back for school, yuck.”

Steve frowns, “Can’t you go to school here?”

“Not yet,” He replies. “Uncle Wayne is working on it. I might be able to come back for Christmas. Are you here for Christmas or do fae migrate for the winter?”

Steve doesn’t know what migrate means so he just shrugs and points to the tree, “I live here now.”

Eddie nods.

He hesitates for a beat before he yanks Steve towards him. He presses his lips against Steve’s for a second before pulling back.

Eddie’s eyes are watery and bright as he stares at Steve, hands still on his shoulders. Steve stares back with big surprised eyes before something cracks.

He starts giggling.

“Silly goose,” Steve giggles, the tips of his ears going red as he covers his face. “You’re supposed to kiss people on their cheeks. Not their mouths! That’s how they do it in Italy.”

Eddie laughs too.

He takes Steve’s face in his hands and plants a wet kiss on each cheek. Steve’s giggle explodes into laughter, even more so when Eddie licks him.

Steve wipes tears from his eyes and tells him sincerely, “I’m gonna miss you, Weird Kid.”

“You giving up already?" Eddie asked, locking the front door behind him.

Steve ran his hands over his face, groaning again. "I can't find anything heavy enough."

"That's why I don't lift," Eddie said, beelining to the kitchen for a snack. He grabbed a banana off the counter. "Can't find anything heavy enough, so why workout?"

"Whatever," Steve rolled his eyes. He extended his hips to the sky, shoulders planted to the ground as he held a hip bridge. His brain wracked through the items in their home, thinking of something that weights more than a hundred pounds. At least.

Wait.

Steve sat up. He looked at Eddie snacking on his banana. "How much do you weight?"

"Uh — 165, 170," Eddie chewed. "Why?"

Bingo.

"I need you," Steve said.

Eddie coughed, choking on his banana. "What?"
