#sr shadow

I've been wanting to do a design for Shadow for a while now, so here it is!

The hero of men splits into 5 now, with the addition of Shadow!

Shadow has a restless personality, he says he is evil, but the reality is that he is only pretending (and he does it badly 🤣) the only one he really gets along with is Vio

He can transform into a shadow, which makes him uncatchable, a unique technique that only he possesses!

Shadow!! Our dark, spooky, and apparently incredibly popular boy.

he's still got that same lovesick gaze whenever Vio yaps to him. though, Vio misses getting to see it in real life. getting to tap his hand or hiss his forehead to snap him out of his dazed state. now he has to tap on the glass of the mirror shard.

Blanket Fort // "come back to bed"

This was made for my wonderful friends au: @shattered-reflections-au. This is art for their little story for this prompt, which you can find here

Nothing much to really say, it's a little late but for a lot of the world it's still the 2nd. Much like my day today, this drawing is kinda terrible, but I hope it's nice to look at for people.

green doesn't get much of a personality in the manga, and i find that kind of funny. i love ya green, but you get to be memed on.

my art style and process has changed a little bit, so:

i'll draw them in order of votes they get, reblog if you can, please

Even though Shadow worked at an antique store, he still loved his hobby.

Shadow was what you would call a thrift-store-whore. An antique shop gremlin. He let it be known.

Shadow came parading into the room, a cardboard box heavy in his hands as he sang out the name of his beloved.

"Viooooooooo~" he sang, "i have giiiifffftttssss~"

Vio spun around in his desk chair, giving his attention over to Shadow.

"okay, so, don't get mad, but i just HAD to get you these." Shadow trailed off as he planted the cardboard box down on the bed.

Shadow vocalized a drumroll as he pulled out the first of many things in his box.

"okay, so, this is a women's blouse, but it was just so "you" that i knew you'd like it." he explained, pulling out a flouncy linen shirt, light lilac and patterned with roses.

Shadow was bouncing on the balls of his feet as he handed it over to his boyfriend.

"now it is Hand was only, but i know it's worth it because look at it!" he exclaimed. "it's all hand stitched and only needs a tiny bit of repair. it was hand painted with the dye to make the pattern too, isn't' it cool?" he added. "i looked it up once i found it and apparently this particular style and pattern dates back to like, the early 1900s. isn't that cool?"

Vio looked the garment over, the little green leaves turning to violet ones in his hands.

"it's so pretty," he mentioned, seeing Shadow nod like a madman out of the corner of his eye.

"how it was in my antique shop for only $20 is unfathomable." Shadow added, pulling out the next thing.

"aaaannnddd i know you needed a new little thing to brighten up your desk," He muttered. He pulled a little trinket out of the box.

it was a little porcelain cat. A pudgy little calico asleep on a stack of books.

"isn't he cute??" Shadow asked, setting it on Vio's desk.

Vio nodded, "very cute."

"and i have a few rugs for around the house, and like more things, but i won't bore you with the details," Shadow bragged. "plus, the rugs need to be cleaned first."

"you wouldn't bore me," Vio mentioned. Shadow's gaze snapping to him.

"huh? but you didn't seem like you were..." Shadow trailed off.

“I love hearing you talk about this," Vio explained, gesturing to Shadow's box of miscellaneous trinkets. "Antiques are your thing. i love hearing you talk about them. all the passion you have for them."

Shadow smiled, suddenly looking a little bashful. "would you mind if i talked about them some more?" Shadow asked.

"wait until i can get us some tea, then sure," Vio proposed.

Shadow hopped onto Vio's bed, getting comfy. "i'd like that very much."

Vio smiled, exiting his room to the kitchen. but just before he left, he added something.

"oh, you know what i really need? a tray for having tea in bed. Definitely vintage. do you think you could make that happen?" he asked.

Shadow lit up with a grin.

It was perfect.

Green was out with friends, Blue and Red were out on a dinner date.

it was Just Vio and Shadow, alone in the house.

a bottle of wine and a movie on the couch both boyfriends just a little tipsy as they unwound with each other.

Vio laid on Shadow's chest, smiling up at his beloved with doe eyes.

Shadow laughed. "you're still paying attention, right?" he asked, putting the movie on pause.

Vio rested his chin on Shadow's chest. "yeah, to you," he said lazily.

Shadow chuckled and turned back to the cheesy rom-com.

the night went on, the movies falling away into auto-played christmas movies, business-savvy ladies falling for pine-tree-lumberjacks again and again. Vio just kept his eyes on Shadow.

"i love you," he said softly, planting a kiss to Shadow's collarbone.

"i love you too," Shadow said. "would you mind moving so i can get that blanket?" he asked, running his hand through Vio's hair.

Vio smiled, lacing his arms around Shadow's torso, not answering the question.

"vio?" Shadow asked, making an attempt at reaching the blanket.

Vio grunted.

"you're not gonna let me go, are you?" Shadow asked.

"never." Vio playfully growled into Shadow's stomach.

Shadow laughed, somehow able to reach the corner of the blanket in a stroke of pure luck. he pulled it over the two of them.
