“Sorry….” Deuce trailed thoughtfully after Cleo finished the explanation of her pristine plans. The one that will hopefully help Claw burst ahead of Stripes.

But he was half-paying attention and caught only bits and pieces. He wanted to help, but it was hard to not pay attention to the fact that Cleo has changed a lot lately. For the better.

He doesn’t think Princess De Nile would’ve lifted a pretty finger for others last year. Now it feels like she is carrying the world on her shoulders for the good of others.

“I got caught up with the fact that You’ve been working so hard lately. Have you even had a break today?”

      SORRY? confusion knitted her brows, snapping attention upward from where she had her eyes glazed over her phone screen. recipes, invites, banners... all the stuff that draculaura's swift work of magic hadn't covered. granted, now that particular tactic was temporarily banned, so if they were going to do this the much-less-forbidden way, the vampire sorceress couldn't assist with her spells. this was a fact more than fine with cleo, for the dark haired princess had the PERFECT ideas crafted… she knew a lot about getting people to follow her, after all. free things were definitely the way... especially if one of such things included food.             regardless of such knowledge within her mind, that didn’t mean she immediately understood why deuce was apologizing. was he about to say he wasn't going to help? why in the world would he refuse taking the opportunity to promote claw and defeat toralei? there was no way, and she fluttered her eyes a bit, wondering just how tired her brain was from focusing so hard that entire morning. she l i v e d ( unlived? ) for this sort of stuff... that didn’t mean the weight of it hadn’t started to wear her thin.     she couldn’t reveal as much; being tired was the sort of thing her father would scold her over and nefera would laugh. de niles didn't stop... not with victory on the line.                   ( though they would also glare upon the fact that the victory would technically belong to clawdeen. )         royal’s tongue clicked, lowering her device as snake haired lad started to explain the reasoning for sudden apology. it was simultaneously surprising to hear while also not at all. despite the ways of trouble he had once indulged upon, cleo fondly could recall the tender compassion deuce had always carried for others. it had always added such delight to his bad-boy facade... though golden flecked grace had to shove such l i n g e r i n g aches from her thoughts. smile curved elegant expression, but left it laced with deviousness. as well as a mild, false tease of offense.                   "deuce, i always work hard. clawdeen may be in the running for prefect, but i still run this school. that doesn't happen without handling things myself." it wasn't an entire joke, but she found that her usual strain of demanding popularity didn't feel quite so wound together. her family ALREADY knew she wasn't in the running, that argument had long passed. no sense in whining over the school's picks.       besides, were she honest, even she knew their werewolf companion was the better pick to run against tor. an excellent balance of sweet to the werecat's spicy. the sort of thing cleo wasn't known for... a fact her heart noted and hung a bit heavy with.                     long breath was taken, feeling the warm air of late summer settling into her lungs. it was nice... the cold left lingering feelings on lonesome and anxiety dwelling in her being. tainting a soul she wasn't sure she had. could a body without a heart have such a thing? did monsters enjoy such pleasures? or would osiris have little concern for hers considering who her father was?                     ...questions she had no readiness for answers.         "i don't NEED a break, what i need is a way to make dozens upon dozens of cookies! with clawdeen's face!" pause, depths growing soft yet sparking with sudden glow. "does heath have that cake printer still...?"

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

I feel like ? I gotta remind people it’s ok to unfollow a blog when it upsets you in any way >> like if I ever do that sure, you can let me know if it was anything I did personally I’d appreciate it but if you just don’t enjoy something it’s ok to unfollow ;w; can’t stress enough how important it is to put your mental health first 👌

I have greatly enjoyed your comics ever since i saw them and have been quietly Iurking as ya do- thought youd want to know that i played hollow knight based on how enthusiastic u were and how fuckin cool youre art of hk/mdzs is. OH and watched dungeon meshi. Your influence is vast and i have been enriched. Keep on keepin on 🫡

You have bestowed the highest honour upon me.

In light of recent news, I will like to quickly make a post in regards to it:

please do not send any sus asks into my main blog! (this one you see rn)

I have another blog (18+) dedicated for such content! Ya can say whatever weird stuff ya got there! Just not here!

6. Yokai AU

i saw you want mitchie doodle requests? could you do max carrying richie like a potato sack? or the “after first kiss” meme where one of them is overthinking it and the other is just like “LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO” idk just ideas lol <3

I have actually got the other idea sketched out but sudden holiday has happened so I’ll properly get started on that when I’m back home at some point sunday. For the meantime. Have this. :))

(I wasn’t sure on the intended places so I went with my gut.)

Hey I'm doing MXTX Requests/Prompts!

They'll probably be sketchy and take some time, but I'm open!

your skk is so real and true to me. like its Them

this is such a great thing to hear I'm ✨🥺✨

I like to think I can mostly keep them in a permanent "status: ????". is it romantic? is it platonic? could it be both at the same time? perhaps queerplatonic would be a better term? I don't know you're the reader you tell me. The important part is that they got each other's back and can be stupid together and perhaps get their dose of cuddling while they're at it because they need it. Whether they kiss or not is so secondary to me but I NEED them to yearn for each other's company in big and small ways both.

ugh this is horrible news tommy is still around, hope to god he's gone in the finale. v

Maybe in your world Nonnie, but not in mine and I'm not entirely sure why you felt the need to come and complain about it on my blog, but here we are!

It makes perfect Narrative sense for Tommy to still be around in the back end of the season, and even possibly into the start of season 8. The show is telling a story of Bucks bisexuality, so why woould they get rid of Tommy so quickly? To do so would do a disservice to that story - a massive disservice. I'm guessing you're hating on this relationship becasue you see it getting in the way of Buddie, rather than viewing it as a vital step on the route to Buddie.

Lets put it into simple terms - Buck figures out he's bi and then begins to explore that newly discovered aspect of himself. The show has also taken the time to move Buck from someone who didn't really do relationships (of the long term variety), into someone who is looking for love and looking for forever. But in amongst all of that, he hasn't really had a healthy long term relationship, the closest he had to that was with Ali and that one didn't last especially long and she wasn't around for most of it

Buck isn't ready for an endgame queer relationship right now - he is still to immature from a relationship perspective - especially a queer relationship perspective. If Eddie was available and he and Buck got together - as they are as characters right now, they wouldn't last - they're not in a position to do so successfully. And this isn't me suggesting that they need to have figured everything out before they get together - to have fully healed etc, because thats neither realistic or something I would want to see - what it means is that they both need to get to a point where they are in a healthy enough place to put in the work together, understand each others flaws, and their own flaws and proactively work towards overcoming those things together and as of right now, neither of them are - they are getting their and moving rapidly in the right direction, but Buck needs to learn a bit more, and in many ways learn how to be with a man, before he will be ready to start anything with Eddie.

The growth we're getting to watch Buck go through right now - in the aftermath of the lightening strike, his reckoning with his mortality etc and the fact he's now off the hamster wheel and moving forward - in a healthy and faster way than we've ever seen from him, speaks volumes.

Tommy is also a far better developed love interest than any other love interest we've seen Buck (or indeed Eddie) with (Abby excepted but she was a main, so had her own purpose on the show)- I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like I know Tommy more after 3 episodes plus what we got from the begins episodes he was in, than I managed to ascertain about Taylor or Ana or Nataila etc!

Not to mention, him figuring out he's in Love with Eddie as part of this process is going to be fun to watch. The show has made no bones about re-enforcing at every. Single. Opportunity how close, how entwined and how important Buck and Eddie are to one another - the show has quite literally been prioritising that over anything else Buck and Eddie related - Buck was there front and centre - placed very much on an equal footing with Shannon and even Eddie himself in 7x01, and then Eddie was the centre of Bucks bi arc in 7x04 and in his coming out in 7x05. They are literally moving chess pieces into place to tell an amazing story of queer love in later life and creating an epic slow burn for the ages.

And finally, Eddie is, as far as we know at this point in time, still in a relationship with Marisol - why shouldn't Buck get to explore who he is and what he want's within a relationship rather than sitting pining on the sidelines - that isn't healthy in any way shape or form. Eddie still has stuff to figure out about himself.

Even Tim and Oliver have stated in interviews that this is about a happy and joyful queer experience of figuring out bisexuality and therefore within that is giving the narrative a romcom vibe. But they have also stated that Tommy isn't going to be around for that long - that he is very much a narrative device.

It is worth pointing out that timelines on various aspects of the narrative may have been shifted because of the season 8 renewal - but that is only going to help tell the story because now it doesn't have to be rushed. I'm still fully expecting some form of feeling realisation from one of them by the end of the season (my money is on Buck), setting up for season 8 and Buddie going canon either 8a finale or early into 8b.

You have every right to dislike Tommy if thats you jam - have at it, but don't come to my blog and expect me to agree with you. I'm not a multi shipper by any means - I'm a one ship kind of gal and I will be a Buddie shipper until the end of time, but within that, I am here for amazing storytelling and amazing queer storytelling - the like of which I've not had the privilege to watch on my screen before - especially one that hits so close to home. Its a really important story to tell and I'd rather it not be rushed.

And if you had to pick - I'm pretty sure you'd rather have Tommy around for a bit longer that Marisol!!!!

MORE HAPRER PLEATHE HES SO FINE
