Eddie’s pining again.

Made a new brush the other day, and I love it! It’s just a textured + opacity version of my usual brush, but it makes a big difference. I love how soft it makes my art look!

Anyway, I was originally gonna draw Eddie writing some riddles (which I still likely will), but then I realised the pose was a good pining pose, so it turned into this. He’s at the Iceberg Lounge, likely staring at Oswald or Gus (or both of them). He’s so in love.

@dc-oc-week Day 6: Bad Ending

After the death of his husband, Gus becomes obsessed with getting revenge. He doesn’t know exactly who was responsible, but he has a list of suspects. He doesn’t care if they’re innocent, he wants them all gone.

Decided to choose ‘Bad Ending’ for today’s prompt. I love this idea so much that I made it into an AU. The Bad Timeline AU!

Oswald gets murdered and Gus is the one that discovers his body. This completely breaks him. He can’t fathom that the one person who truly loved him and took care of him is gone. His husband. He often dreams about Oswald, and sometimes he could’ve sworn he can feel his presence. He breaks down in tears every time. 

Gus becomes a villain and often goes to Edward for advice on how to be a villain. He creates his own suit and develops it over time as he learns more. He plots elaborate schemes to try and lure the Batfam in so he can get his revenge. He doesn’t have much evidence that one of them killed Oswald, but he blames them regardless. 

Over time, Gus becomes more and more obsessed with revenge. He becomes very angry and impulsive, and he falls into a deep depression without Oswald around. He mistakes Edward for Oswald many times despite them being nothing alike. He misses his husband so much that he tries to convince himself that Oswald is still around, and he eventually becomes a shell of his former self.

Decided to draw a pride piece featuring my boys! I love this, definitely my favourite thing I’ve drawn of them so far. I love thinking about them and my headcannons for Oswald and Edward.

Edward’s the type to go all out for Pride and use it as an excuse to bring out his flashiest outfit. He’s also the type to cover his regular suit, which normally has black question marks, in stickers of rainbow question marks instead of just buying a new suit and decorating that one for pride. 

Oswald is the opposite and prefers to be more subtle. He’ll break out the face paint and a few of his pins, but that’s usually it. He would, however, decorate the entire Iceberg Lounge for pride month, claiming it’s ’good for business’.

Gus is in the middle and doesn’t really mind. He’ll wear his pins and carry flags while generally supporting his partners. He also likes people knowing that he’s a safe space and doesn’t judge anyone, so he wears pins to help show that.

Flags/Pins from top to bottom, left to right:

Oswald: Bisexual face paint, polyamorous pin, rainbow penguin pin, ‘yes I have a retirement plan, I plan on birdwatching’ pin.
