[image ID: a landscape multi-material artwork. The background is a billowing rainbow of watercolours with a plain white border all the way around. Laid on top of that is a cutout of the hands from The Creation Of Adam. The right hand is in black and white with a balck outline and gold on the fingertips. The left hand is outlined in black and is otherwise completely covered in reflective gold paint. end ID]

Here is the artwork I did for Addie's fic for the Atypical Artists Big Bang! I barely go here but holy damn do I love everything about Ari's writing and ideas and creativity. To the point where I actually painted something.

A midas AU needs gold to be sure, so I bought a new pen for this. And I got the gold all over me. I feel like I should be worried about that. Anyway, read below!

BY THEIR OWN FOLLIES

I look upon you and see

All that you are meant to be. 

I cannot add up to

Everything that is you. 

You are a brilliant star, 

You are looked up to near and far. 

You have your way

Of never fearing or feeling dismay. 

I wish I could look and be

There for you as you are for me,

But I am scared and you are not,

So I’ll forever walk as you trot. 

You will overcome every obstacle,

Even if they fail to be logical,

And you will enjoy every ounce of pain

Because it always has something to gain. 

Shed your light, my dear,

Shed your coat and finally fear

What we mere mortals do;

Let our own earthly beings encompass you. 

You cannot live forever, 

Your time will one day sever

From this terrible cord

Of life and no longer be moored

On this rusty, earthly plain

And take your place away from the strain. 

I would be beside you in another life;

One where we can live without strife

Or fear and other silly things 

That would see us with broken wings. 

For now I will hold you in my dreams,

And I will be there to muffle your screams

When you awake from every nightmare-

I will always look after you with gentle care. 

I will watch from afar as you take the lead-

You take your place- and I will never plead

For you to look at me with wistful eyes,

For you are where you belong- not with lies,

But with heartfelt love of others

And the warm embrace of your brothers. 

You are on a pedestal that I have placed

You on and you are forever encased

In that fragile, ever cracking tomb

Of my own heartbreak and doom. 

All I ask is for a single moment of your

Time and then I’ll lead myself to the door

And I’ll ne’er return to this place

Or you, in that case. 

All I want is for you to be happy

And safe, though it may sound sappy,

And for you to be everything you are

With nothing holding you back- no bar

To block your path or where you’re going

And for no-one to row the boat you’re rowing. 

I love you for you,

And that is all that I can do-

It is all that I can say,

[ID: two images. the first image on the left is a digital drawing done over a courtroom photo. It is of a woman, Ellie Wadsworth, wearing a prison jumpsuit with her hands handcuffed behind her. She is being led out of the courtroom by a police officer. The text on the drawing reads "I may have girlbossed a bit too close to the sun."

The second image is a photograph of an iguana. It is sitting on a branch. Drawn, as if the iguana were holding it, is a sign that reads "F*ck the AM". END ID]

what’s a road if you’re not there to walk along?

Odysseus could leave no trick unowned

So it took him a decade to get home

Oedipus defied the fate they told

And on the way he met it on the road

The king midas wished for his golden touch

But golden food and kin he found too much

I know in kind what fault will find me dead
