Some links and previous updates: May - June - July - August - September - October/November - December - January - everything else in this AU
I was honestly worried that I won't have anything to share as a February update (and wouldn't that be a new low for me, wow) because even despite the very generous help from @queenjiru I still cannot wrangle Sabine into a proper sketch. But then the new Hades 2 update came out ! And the art to go with it - Ares looming over Melinoe with his bloody hand staining her shoulder like that just took a hold of me body and soul, and so I have something to present to you all:
A redraw of that image with pre-Sarlacc Boba and a smol and angy Omega!
And some progress details and ramblings under the cut, as it is tradition for these update posts ->
First things first and for the sake of transparency the original image here:
You can see that it is very much just a redraw. I felt very exhausted this month, and all I wanted was something simple and straightforward. Plus the original composition was so perfect, it was a huge reason why I wanted to redraw it so bad. I'm not even going to try to deny that Ares is one of my favourites (I've never truly grown out of that edgy teen I had been way too many years ago), and the fact that in my Hades (the first) game based AU project Boba is cast for Ares - if you really want to categorize the Star Wars characters in some manner - it really was just perfect.
Ares just looked too perfect, and I'd been itching to redraw Boba in this style in another version of him, and I really just had to!
At first blush I wasn't 100% sure how I wanted to go about this redraw, so I sketched out the initial composition, and Omega with her energy bow. I wanted both Boba and Omega to be different from their original first designs, and since Omega leaned more into her teenage TBB s3 self, I wanted to draw her more like she was in s2. Season 1 Omega would have been too tiny, oh god.
And Boba... well. You might find a note in the mess above that I want to do something with his hair to make him look at least a little less like Ares (because even their face structure could match up, ohmygod I'm in distress!) but uh. It didn't really pass muster. I just love this hairstyle for a younger, pre-Sarlacc Boba too much TT^TT So I had to swallow my pride and accept that this will indeed be very much a simple redraw, nothing fancy to see or do here...
I also didn't like how hunched and balled up Omega's pose was in the initial sketch. It made her look too scared and way too vulnerable - so I had to swallow some more of that pride and non-existent ambition yet again, and accept that the way through was to stick a lot closer with Melinoe's original pose.
And because I somehow still proved to be a far more prideful person than previously thought I still made a few alternate sketches with different weapons for Omega. If it was a game, she would likely have all of them, but for the "cover" she was still stuck with Din's spear. I'm pretty sure I even copy-pasted the updated spear from Din's character art so that the head is the right size and shape and all.
The only one I don't like all that much from this collection is the middle one where Omega is holding Crosshair's rifle. I quite like most of the others, but ultimately the spear won out. The original was too good of a composition, what can I say?
Yes, I also draw little red hearts in the corners of the winning thumbnails :P
I also like the landscape format of this composition. I couldn't make up my mind about whose hand I would want it to be to loom over them though so I didn't even try to push working out that concept.
And for the very end a wip closeup of Omega. She is small and lonely and angry (and she's just ran into the worst of her brothers, and the one that's least likely to help her, what will she do?) . She's got massive vambraces with a communicator, Hunter's knife strapped to her thigh, a short kama with pockets and CF 99's skull motifs on her. And the jewel she had on her forehead in season 1 around her neck.
I really love this drawing, but for the time being I have no idea how to move on from here. I very very badly wanted to show it off though (that's why I've been writing this post for a solid 2 weeks if not more lmao) so please enjoy! <3

Oooo! Look at me! Two for two! My 2nd writing blog update within the intended month! 🎉[party popper emoji]
Perfect for "romance month", I learned how to love again.
... love writing, that is. All thanks to a little Discord server. 👍[thumbs up emoji]
Learning to Love (Writing) Again
Est. Read Time: 15min
Est. Read Time: 15min This Month's Font: Pangolin Surprising probably everyone - including myself - I actually did some (tangential)
I started up a writing Discord server for me and a handful of my friends (@thetauruspixie, hmu if you want in). Now that I have a little writing group again I ended up going down the rabbit hole that is my old writing projects. It was super fun, and I'm now hoping to ride this revived love of writing straight into some actual... ya know... writing.
Hello everyone! This month has flown by. Thank you so much to everyone who has engaged with my work over January. I notice and cherish every like and reblog. I value every mutual. I catch all of those who seem to be liking quicker than I can post.
Here is an update about what's coming up in February:
I will continue creating microfics for @wolfstarmicrofic. I have a bit of a back log to upload of these onto a03 but I'm making steady progress.
I will continue with the weekly posting schedule for Patient Potions Master. The edits for this are now complete. For those of you only here for Wolfstar, I will make it clear the chapter where this comes into play.
I have completed my first draft of my fic for @remuslupinfest. This is my first ever fic fest, and I'm very excited. This will be anonymous posting at first, but be sure to check out all the stories when they drop on a03.
I will continue editing my Wolfstar mega fic Without You I'm Nothing (snippet here for those curious).
I have a couple of ideas floating around my brain for Wolfstar oneshots longer than microfics. If there is time, I will begin work on these.
I've had a couple of questions about whether I will ever take prompts. I presently have quite a busy schedule for my writing. I also work and study which, unfortunately, takes time away from more fun things like creating Wolfstar fiction! I don't want to commit to accepting prompts that I worry I couldn't deliver. So it's a no for now but I would really like to in the future!
I hope my writing continues to find a little place in your heart 💜
I haven't been posting a while due to personal circumstances.
These are the comms that I'm almost finished with, prob 2-5 days to finish them all coz I'm slow to send messages/updates ;; Will also open emergency commission but on separate post
As for my Patreon, it will take me some time to finish them all as well. My eyes are literally crying blood coz I didn't expect lots of time has passed. I'll prob finish them within this week as well. It got long overdue but a little more time to go all out for a start this year!
Thank you all for the patience and support you all had given me.

Fic Summary: Season 14 re-write, canon-compliant for the first half, then divergent onward and into 15. Series finale fix-it fic. TFW-centric, destiel.

Chapter 30: Family Don't End (2.1k):
By dusk, Castiel is rolling up the truck onto the driveway of the house of Jody Mills, and shifts into park. His attention quickly latches onto a bright wash of blonde amidst the dull grey of leafless trees, and his eyes light up at the sight.
By the time that the moon has risen high in the sky and the scattering of stars twinkle by the hundreds, dinner has been served and shared. Jody's meatloaf and pie has been devoured, Castiel's cookies finished by tea time, and Dean's casserole left spotless.
I hope anyone reading this is doing well and that this new year brings you nothing but good stuff. Like, really Good stuff. Small stuff, big stuff, fun stuff, easy stuff - as long as it’s Good, I hope it comes your way.
This post is mostly here for me, as a way to keep myself motivated and accountable and on track. I’ll be updating it monthly to note any progress or to add new goals - but you’re welcome to follow along if you want to! And I would love to know about any goals you’re setting for yourselves! Good luck with any that you’re going after, and remember that all forward progress counts 😉
2023 Writing Goals: FEBRUARY UPDATE
Post something - whether it’s a drabble, a one shot or part of an ongoing story - at least once a week. 4/52 (so I already know I won’t be meeting this one, but I’m still keeping track to see what my overall percentage ends up being. Not going to lie, I am not thrilled that this number is still so low)
Try something new - a trope, genre, a method of storytelling, just… something unlike anything I’ve written before. Get out of the comfort zone. 0/1 (started writing!!)
Write a complete multi part story before I start posting any of it. 0/1 (planned as 3 parts)
Close the book on three ongoing wips. Some of them have been left open for such a long time that sometimes it makes it hard to focus on any of them for long enough SO…0/3 (made *some* progress with Survivor Blues, but it’s still a long haul to the end)
Clean up my one shot WiP folder - these are pieces that I started for events or prompts but ended up setting aside. 1/6 (at least two of these will be coming off the board in March, so that’s a positive!)
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it because that’s not how I roll: February was a complete disappointment. I know I’ve been in a slump, and I know that it’s a short month, but sitting down to write this update and seeing that I only posted one new piece this month was very deflating. I’m hoping that March will be a turning point for my productivity.
Hi, I know that it's been a while but I sincerely want to apologize for not posting here on Tumblr as much as I used to and not finishing requests. Life has been kind of stressful for me lately and I've still been focused on my BoM Parent Scenarios; speaking of which, I'm posting two chapters on ao3 on the Sunday after next. I have good news though, I've been slowly working on some Ulaz x Reader headcanons recently. Anyway, have a wonderful day/night
