#albatris

A commission for @albatris, featurng its OCs Alex and Quinn enjoying the sunshine. Thank you so much for your patience, and for letting me draw your characters, they're so lovely!

hi finally doing more of these <3

ANYWAY!!!! snippets for u,,, one is from the wip that is intersection chapter three, and one from something recent i started picking at with sal.

life begins at the intersection ->

Tony wasn’t really one to develop crushes easily, and he’d only ever had a few genuine ones in his lifetime. It just wasn’t something that clicked easily for him, and he’d long since accepted that he probably some flavor of aromantic. He was perfectly comfortable in that knowledge.

(He still experienced some romantic attraction, he was pretty sure, just not very often. Not that it was something he put much thought into either way, because it didn’t matter to him. He already had enough shit to worry about.)

And yet, knowing all of that didn’t mean he’d gotten any better at actually identifying crushes on the rare occasions he did develop one. More often than not, romance blindsided him at every turn.

However, this was very obviously a capital-C Crush, and Tony suddenly felt very, very stupid for not realizing it sooner.

His thoughts, or at least his emotions, must have shown on his face, because Jack fell quiet and was looking at him with a concerned expression, his brow furrowed and his nose scrunched up a little.

“You okay, Tony?” Jack asked. He was looking a lot better after some time in the hospital, and it was clear he was on the mend. Last Tony heard, he might even be discharged soon.

I want to kiss his adorable face, Tony thought. What the fuck.

and then the salvatore thing. putting this one under the cut ->

note: at this point in his life, sal uses the name seamus.

CONTENT WARNINGS: referenced violence against children (Sal is 14 here), implied child abuse

thank you for the ask and happy STS! I'm working on 3 Things nowadays, because I am a gremlin and I cannot focus on one

1: Arthur WIP

my primary wip, this one doesn't have a name yet. It's a fantasy horror novel told from two POVs; Alexei in Before, Arthur in After, intertwined between each other throughout the story. Alexei's POV shows the two of them growing upbtogether from 16 to 20, Alexei forever struggling to fit in with his community and Arthur being the perfect shining example of success. Arthur's POV shows Arthur at 21, a complete wreck who is totally disconnected from his community and having dreams of a cold, dark place where everything dies. Something very bad happened, but Alexei has not yet seen it and Arthur is trying desperately to run from it, so you don't know what for a good while. themes revolve around responsibility, grief, and closeted queer shame. (these bitches gay.) (Arthur is my DND character transplanted into a novel because I got really attached to him and wanted to fill out his life more.)

2: WIP Bad Things Happen

An apocalypse horror, pre-the apocalypse. Gabriel Shaw is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. And when a car crash he narrowly survives seems to open a hole in the universe, this turns into a worsening and compounding streak of bad luck held by him and the other two survivors. When this luck starts giving way to things like shattered bones, a disappearing lover, and the corpse of the woman who died in the crash appearing in his laundry basket, Gabriel and the other two survivors (Prisha and Jesùs) have to try desperately to close the wound they ripped in the world before their bad luck turns into an apocalyptic-level event. themes are heavily about religious trauma, how being trans and disabled shapes your life, faith, and guilt/shame. this one is always floating in my brain but I don't work on it quite as much. (also, there is cannibalism. Yay!)

3: Valarie Saintly Is Totally Normal

egads! an old wip! a recap: Valarie Saintly saved the world when she was 15. Now, at 19, a whole lot of people want her to do it again. With the help of Mack, an eccentric and overly optimistic genderqueer vampire, Val goes on a string of wild adventures to avoid having responsibility placed on her shoulders a second time. Themes revolve around childhood trauma, neglect, and learning to feel the full spectrum of your emotions. I very recently dug this one up again and am currently in the process of updating character designs, which I plan to post when I'm done :)

😌 they do

-> Juste, specifically! He has a cat named ms. Unju—fun fact, I choose "unju" because the name "juste" itself sounds a lot like "just" (as in fair) so the cat's name is unju because "unjust" get it—and she is a complete BITCH. Think of the most asshole little ball of annoyance of a cat EVER. That's ms. Unju. Juste absolutely adores her and pampers her rotten, and even makes his subordinates (read: the child soldiers from the org that have been indocrinated and tortured into submiting to him and the other handlers), esp Sabre, take care of her.

hi!!!!

not riled up as in “angry” but rather “enthusiastic” -

Your curiosity pleases me :D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay, enough evil laughter. Thank you very much for the ask!!! But truly, this is SUCH a perfect question for me, the person whose friend (lovingly) called her "a sadist for fictional characters".

This is going under the cut because not only is it extremely long, there's also very very very explicit discussion of torture, extremely violent deaths, gore, emotional manipulation, and hallucinations, among other things. You have been warned, I guess.

desperately wanted to pick fauve for this one but i cannot risk putting myself into the mucihe zone or i might abandon my current novel. so even though faye gets a lot of clout in ask games at all times, let's talk abt women in stem (suffering, torment, evil, manipulation)

^shoutout to unfinished oc site draws

full name: like every other immortal, faye has no last name 🌺

nicknames: none, other than the slew of ridiculous pet names arianna calls her (my personal favourite is 'pumpkin' on account of eye color lol)

gender: female

sexuality: lesbian (stone femme babeyyyy)

a song i associate with them: i've basically talked abt her whole playlist atp so i will just link two previous posts, here and here

three important relationships: ※ eliada!!! her partner in crime when it comes to fixing the moons so they can both go home. he is also the one that custom crafted her armour so she doesn't lose any more limbs in the process w ※ linnea, ofc, my toxic yuri du jour. cycle of vengeful psychosexual drama that started when linn ruined faye's arm (after politely asking her to leave, logical next action really) and turns mostly one-sided after faye successfully breaks linn's melody, memories, and displaces her through time. they do have a fated showdown abt it in motd. the reckoning >:) ※ nd since i mentioned her before, arianna! they don't cross ways in canon (other than a one-night stand in which ari is too drunk to realize she's with a soulless lol) but platinum road exists precisely as alternate timeline in which arianna does realize and then invites faye to come to the palace with her, forcing her to try life rather than suicidal moon questing. and 3kau, a kingdoms au where arianna is a court architect turned head of guard of whom faye constantly runs afoul with her nomadic merchant ways taking her wherever she pleases, including highly restricted zones uwu.

two fears: ※ logical conclusion of a million timeline reset: the growing terror that the entire endeavor is doomed and she will never return to the invisible moon....... ※ linnea's melody :) maybe don't wear it as an earring then king

one element of her backstory: *spins wheel* uhhhhh fun fact faye losing an arm goes entirely back to an art mishap and i just rolled with it. she is a staunch prosthesis hater (that part of her armor is entirely empty and it moving is either light illusion or clever manipulation on her part) the only time she wears a fake arm is when conning jumie (exploiting her empathy) bc this encounter is the catalyst for the entire verse fixing plan & and jumie's soft paladin heart is so easily swayed by a woman as pretty as faye playing up a heartbreaking personal tragedy w. <3
