oh its long on your dashes sorry not sowwy-

AN ELYSIUM DRAMA UPDATE - 🎊CHAL & BEL GOT MARRIED!🎊 (and also Ty & Libby but they’ll get their own post maybe fgkfk) they did get their own post! see it here!!

these little updates are usually not as fancy as this one is but THIS ONE’S SOOO SPECIAL!! whereas Chal&Bel and Libby&Ty have been engaged, but decided to quickly and informally sign their marriage certificates well before their joint wedding bcccc Chal was stressed about it lol. So This little comic is a very very abridged version of that canon convo!! PS friendly reminder Chal glows when she's happy thats important ty

i felt like I owed them this elaborate illustration seeing as specifically their relationship has basically begun and continued LIVE throughout constant doodles, liveblogging, and these updates since literallly ✨2016✨ and some of you have indeed been watchin them WITH ME with baited breath WITH ME, and so this is. well since this is simply the most exciting thing of all time, I just had to do SOMETHING to commemorate it!! this took place about two weeks ago!! it feels like just yesterday i was uploading a comic about their first kiss i- oh that collection is over here. okay im bawling. AAHH. im not going to survive their future actual wedding ceremony when theyre all in little outfits fhghg-G

A SPECIAL ROUND OF APPLAUSE AND LOVE for my partner-in-crime @fenixethekid, (responsible of course for Bel and Tory, also Ty, & generally half of all of Elysium), who gets credit for THE EXCEPTIONAL DIALOGUE HERE😭😭except for that one line of Chal being a shellshocked moron. im collapsing and weeping on the ground

CHAL AND BEL ARE!! MARRIED!!*

*(No wedding yet, that comes later, this was a just a cute paperwork signing of marriage certificates elopement sitch, STILL COUNTS;; also Ty and Libby come next which is supposed to be the same day in universe they’re all standing next to each other lmfao but we’ll see cccause we’re bUSY;; BBUT BUT STILL BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE TIME OF—)

I. will draw stuff obviously but. until I Get To It

FEB-HUE-ARY - Part Four

featuring 💞Chal & Bel💞

[ woohoo its Feb-Hue-Ary again and i’m going to try to actually post these on the date appropriate days as we go since we’re all pretending tumblr’s an active website again ffgkgkg. here’s last year’s compilation post from yours truly and the FebHue full month prompt list! ]

💞💖💞💖💘💞💓💕💕💖💞💕💞HAPPY VALENTINES DAY💞💕💖💓💘💕💞💝💓💖💘💗💓💞💕with this extremely pink palette, starring our current absolute favie couple aka ✨our newly engaged since last year✨couple AHHH this pose was juuust an excuse to frame rings uwu I was fully dreading drawing this it’s a HARD palette to use plus Chal&Bel are practically grayscale but as per usual this month, once it was done I was obsessed and they are just. soooo cute. h my god... oh my god.

also tho dont.... ask me what their engagement rings actually look like zoomed in uhhh,.,,,,,, there’s red and black in em I can tell you that much,, [did we see me whining over here fhfhg} anyway CUTE whatever just use your imagination,,

-“Do you want to go back? Or do you maybe want a chance to make some happier memories?”

-”The… last option. The. The memories.”

ahem - “Chal and Bel Have a Moment, Six Years Ago, Brought to You Live From The Future Where Chal’s Happier Memories Include Having A Daughter & Getting ENGAGED”, aka “i STILL SOMEHOW don’t know how lighting works” - REDRAW

original circa February 13, 2016 / redrawn on September 4, 2022

considering this as my OoC engagement present to Chal & Bel, in redoing that linked pic that I have wanted to redo since the moment I drew it, i just had to wait until i generated enough art ability to actually accurately and tenderly illustrate the scene we were writing. FINALLY GOT IT!

godd many of u have been around since the early dayz of Chal’s entire adventures and have been following all the updates for literal years, and so maybe to you too it is also  absolutely insane to think that here now, years later after this took place -  like this convo was the convo that first made my personal shipping lightbulb go off, they werent even close to getting together then!!!!!! - that theyre about to get MARRIED????? fr fr almost teared up drawing this. i literally love them SO much

(while im wildly revamping my blog theme & some links, testing how new posts look but alsooo okay fine if twitters being deleted or whatever i do want this image saved, AHEM) official post and such-n’-such, presenting:

DRAMATIC REENACTMENT OF ME THROUGH THE FOURTH WALL, AND CHAL’S, REACTION TO BEL FUCKING PROPOSING TO HER OUT OF NOWHERE TWO MONTHS AGo??? this was truly exactly what this felt like

the spiritual successor really to several years ago when i fumbled my phone in complete shock when Bel suddenly unexpectedly hugged Chal, only to nowadays advance to fumble my phone in complete shock when Bel suddenly unexpectedly suggested they get MARRIED. oh my god :’)))) that original drawing is even here sobs

Bel is such an idiot (affectionately) he truly did this with no plan just pure impulse and when Chal’s response was WHAT, WHAT THE FUCK, DID YOU JUST PROPOSE TO ME, Bel’s response was FUCK I THINK SO I FUCKED UP I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A RING they are soulmates. idiots in tandem.<333333 I love them. tacking on the quick engagement doodle i did too so that this is justifiably rebloggable.

a quick doodle art interlude featuring ME, pausing in trying unseriously to figure out what chal’s engagement ring looks like to draw this. ocverse problems what do you MEAN i have to make content to have content!!!!! I JUST WANT TO HAVE IT lemme commission a clothing designer

this is really just a disguised rambling textpost lmfao bc last week eury and maci began wrangling chal into wedding chiton options :’))) (and also bel too since lmfao mind reader + mutually clingy couple means there is zero point in having to pry apart from each other just to fit to wedding traditions and not see the outfits like. who cares)

 ANYWAYYY she hasnt reeeeeally picked anything yet  - chal and her self-confidence issues have way bigger concerns right now than Specific Wedding Dress Designs so like, she’ll get there - but we DO have some design notes canon so far, insofar as obv all the outfits are black, and that Libby&Ty will match each other in white highlights and Bel&Chal will match each other in red highlights AAHHH. the chiton everyone’s voted for for chal right now has embroidery detailing in red. the above image is an actual real thought i had during this convo, like oh my gosh this is so cute i cant wait to see what everyone’s outfits look like - oh my god oh FUCK i have to fucking figure out how to DRAW thESE - I HATE DESIGNING CLOTHING - AHH

right so - Chal literally took one look at baby N and fell completely in love with her

pls.

[babies?] [cHALBEL BABIES?!!!]

...... a sort of sequel to this pic over here??? gosh yeah the worst ship AU was cute and Chal was in canon p in love with Gany AND Cinthy but u know what??? NOW in canon Chal’s with the love of her entire life AND is friends with Gany and Cinthy AND has had SUCH a glowup sO,,

everyone’s friends here :-) DOUBLEDATE DOUBLEDATE

[this picture is entire sacrilegious on account of missing TY & Libby but i couldnt fit them aaaAAA]
