#starwatch

celebrating the ides of march by having starwatch reenact the events.

Flash warning

Somebody who has a reputation. Maybe they're physically imposing, have a resting scowl or "dead eyed" neutral expression, or were put in a situation before where people saw them act aggressive or voracious. Whatever the case, there's rumors, and those are only exacerbated by the constant belly they're sporting. Almost never seen without a heavy, stuffed gut, people assume they must be picking off prey on the regular or keeping some poor soul longterm. No squirming from inside spotted even, so they must have really strong digestion, how brutal! Dangerous, unapproachable, cruel, try to steer clear of That One.

But all it takes is someone close to that pred to gently, casually ask "Who's with us today?", for that person to shyly mumble something like "Kuromi...". Because the truth is, that pred can't handle going anywhere without one or more comfort object plushie in their stomach. Being able to think about that character holding them from inside through the hard parts of every day is pretty much the only thing that gets them out the door. They're also too nervous to correct any of the assumptions about them because somehow it's more embarrassing to admit you're a plushie carrying adult in public than a big, mean, scary jerk.

Drawing my silly Emps X OC [reader based character] stuff from my LONG, LONG ASS space opera fic. There will be more as Im so desperate to draw these two.

This is very much the 'What they could've had series' im wanting to start. Had they simply put their differences aside sigh. Though this one is based on "The Temperance" chapter particularly.

Diana held the railings as she looked over the horizon, her hair swaying gently in the wind. "Wow," she said breathlessly, gazing at the blue skies and colorful canyon walls, "It must be nice living here."
