The Abyss

Figured I should do one of these atp.

I'm Onyx (not my real name), he/they trans guy 🏳️‍⚧️ (tbh gender is stupid, I'm fine with either gender neutral or masculine terms)

I do digital art, mostly just for fun, as well as some traditional art. I don't currently take commissions but if you have an idea, I might draw it if I feel like it.

My main fandoms at the moment are moriarty the patriot/yuukoku no moriarty, bungo stray dogs, mdzs, tolkien (specifically silm), and the stormlight archive by brandon sanderson, but I will read/watch pretty much anything.

fav ships: sherliam (mtp), fyolai (bsd), wangxian (mdzs), and silvergifting (silm)

I listen to a super wide range of music, but I usually listen to indie rock and symphonic metal. My favorite artists are boygenius (the band and the individual members), nightwish, mitski, and mcr. I also love musical theater, my favorite shows are phantom of the opera and les mis.

Here’s a pretty man just bc (not my art):

(Spoilers for chapter 12 of the manga under cut)

People are like stars, in the sense that we're destroying ourselves so we can shine. There is constant pressure to deny our nature as humans, and as animals, to fit ourselves into the molds of our society. Every day when we get up in the morning and fix our hair, cover our bodies with clothes, or wash off dirt from being outside, we are trying to overcome our natural state. And we are destroying ourselves by doing so. It is time for nature to reclaim us.
