#emptyskeleton scribbles

I did @actingwithportals DTIYS challenge. Not really my own "style" on account of the fact I only started learning last month, and was only able to make it look this good by using every other submission as a pose reference, but still! It counts.

Bonus thoughts and shit under the cut.

Now that I’m actually bothering to post links of my fics on tumblr, I am occasionally going to provide links to ones that have been out for a while, but I remembered existed and like, and never posted here.

This is one of those. It’s an Eldritch!Siffrin that was loosely inspired by the @isat-weeping-god-au in the sense that it was what I was reading at the time, and so I’m still crediting them with inspiration for this, and the resulting more eldritch stuff that I will be making soon now that rereading this has finally given me more ideas.

Here’s a snippet:

Within the bubble of combat is calm. A logical proceeding of moves and countermoves, transformation and familiar creation. Outside the bubble is ferocity made manifest. A swirling mass of teeth and talons, shadows and scales. You are gnashing maws and slashing claws. Loop is breaking horns and plaguing swarms. You are beasts the likes of which civilisation has long since buried.

I'm realising now, that the only 2 art pieces I've finished were both challenges, and I feel like I can exploit that in some way to draw more...

But anyway! This fucking thing! Adrift in a sea of stars! My attempts at @mari-lair's Undead Stargazer DTIYS for the AU that no longer exists.

Thoughts and shit under the cut.

Gods, I love writing gore so much. I need to do this way more often.

The House is a blur. Nothing in here is a threat to you, and you’ve seen Stardust navigate this layout enough times to know the route. Your mind wanders as you stalk the shadowed halls and tear Sadnesses into messy chunks of emotional pulp. Your spear whips and whistles around wildly, unencumbered by the lantern you chose to leave behind this time. The corridors are wide enough that you don’t have to worry about hitting the walls, and Sadness after Sadness falls before you, their attempts to flee proving futile as you move through the house like a blender.

Calamité shatters. Accablement and Abattement try, and die. Bourdon is taken apart, hand by bloody hand.

His hair blocks the final door. You press your head to it. Burn, burn, burn. It’s what you want. A low whoomp echoes as the strands go up in bright flames and vanish.

Time for the finale.

In the room just before him, you freeze, fear paralysing you. You can beat him. You know you can. He’s not the same King you lost to time and time again. He. Can. Be. Killed. You take a deep, slow breath, hand over your star, and focus. Move.

Snippet:

You squared off again, and this time you struck first, throwing yourself into a deep lunge to cover as much distance as possible. Siffrin narrowly avoided the thrust, stumbling over their own feet a little in surprise. A smile found its way to your face. You could feel it there, unsummoned, but not unwelcome. It had been ages since you’d had proper fun like this, just messing around with a friend without having to worry about anything. Sure, this was training, but it was fun as well. You were messing around, goofing off hitting each other with sticks in the woods, you were playing!

“Ah!” Bonnie shouted. “I saw that! Loop moved those guys!”

Loop cursed under their breath. “Congratulations on being the most perceptive person here, Comet.”

“Ha ha! Nothing gets past me.”

“Yes. Except, of course, the four other times I’ve cheated in the past six turns.”

“Four? Have you cheated that many times, Frin?”

“No,” Siffrin said, “I’ve cheated five times.”

Frin nodded, and prepared to crack the other egg. They still dropped some shell in, but quickly got the pieces out. He turned back to you expectantly. You directed them to add the butter and caster sugar to the mixing bowl and start whisking. You were glad you had Frin here to do all the mixing, since your kitchen Craft ban also extended to Crafted mixers. You’d asked Nille, but she had said she didn’t trust Frin to not “succumb to your influence”, so hand mixing it was.

Snippet:

A week after Siffrin’s surgery, and you still hadn’t apologised for failing to save their eye. You were trying, but you kept crying whenever you saw him, which was making it somewhat difficult. They were handling the whole thing remarkably well, at least – if the number of eye related puns was anything to go off of.

No matter how many times he laughed and acted like it wasn’t a big deal, the knot in your chest wouldn’t go away. It pulled tight every time you saw the bandages covering their face, threatening to buckle everything that held you up, and tears began to spill out whenever you stared for too long.

You’d been avoiding him because of it, only really interacting with him when you were helping with the necessary aftercare from the surgery, and it was eating you alive.

But now it was time to go. The curse would sweep over this place soon enough, and so the rest of their recovery would have to happen on the road. You knew that if you didn’t tell him now, then you never would. You’d find distraction after distraction on the road, an endless number of reasons to justify it ‘not being the right time’ to tell them.
