we sing it anyway

Lancelot!!

Finally, I’ve managed to put together at least four quick drawings that I can combine into a single post.

I couldn’t find peace, so I ended up drawing some nice post-canon art. I’ve been thinking a lot about what an alternate ending to the FF might look like. It’s always really hard for me to step outside the boundaries of the original story—if the author decided the fate of their characters that way, then that must be the one true outcome. Those are the kinds of walls I have in my head. But after all these months, it would be strange not to at least try to cross them. After all, I’ve allowed myself to read fanfiction and enjoy it.

There’s something you probably don’t know about me: for many decades, I’ve had my own universe full of oc with long, complex stories — and I’m that kind of author-villain who torments their own creations. I have a built-in flaw: I can only come up with sad stories and somehow take pleasure in the pain they bring me. Over the past few years, my friend — who’s deeply immersed in the material — has saved many of the characters she grew attached to from my clutches. But I myself am almost incapable of doing that.
