Before the Great Plague of 2020, Fort Street Mall in downtown Honolulu was a hive of activity. Aloha shirt clad office workers and Hawaii Pacific University students lined the sidewalk cafes and eateries. Three or four languages filled the air at any given moment. This once mighty mall is now largely deserved save for homeless and security guards. I noticed one faint glimmer of hope: recently painted murals on ancient phone kiosks and schuttled businesses. The Father Damien and octopus murals are adjacent to the Cathedral of our Lady of Peace.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT DAMIEN DE VEUSTER (Father Damien)
The Patron of People with Leprosy and the Diocese of Honolulu
Feast Day: May 10, April 15 (U.S. Episcopal Church)
"Turn all your thoughts and aspirations to heaven. Work hard to secure for yourself a place there for ever."
Damien de Veuster, aka Damien of Moloka'i, was born Jozef 'Jef' de Veuster, on January 3, 1840 in Tremelo, Brabant, Belgium. Josef was the youngest of seven children and fourth son of the Flemish corn merchant Joannes Franciscus ('Frans') De Veuster and his wife Anne-Catherine ('Cato') Wouters. In 1860, he entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (Picpus Fathers), and took the name of Damien.
He would pray everyday before an image of St. Francis Xavier, with the desire to be sent on a mission overseas. Three years later, his prayers were answered, and he was destined to Hawaii. After his ordination at the Honolulu Cathedral (now called Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace where his relics held) in 1864, Father Damien was assigned to North Kohala.
At that time, an epidemic of leprosy affected thousands of Hawaiians; the disease was highly contagious and at that time incurable. In 1865, it was decided that all lepers should be confined to the island of Moloka'i, where the living situation was desperate, with lack of food and medicines.
With great courage and faith, Father Damien volunteered for the lepers' colony, aware that he was signing his own death sentence, since Moloka'i was declared the island of no return.
As soon as he arrived, he build the parish of St. Philomena and began assisting the people. His role was not limited to religious practices; he founded schools, established orphanages, organized working farms, built homes and furniture, dressed the wounds, made coffins, and dug graves.
In a letter to his brother Auguste (Father Pamphile), he wrote: 'I make myself a leper with the lepers, to gain all to Jesus Christ.'
In 1884, Damien inadvertently put his foot into boiling water, but he felt nothing: he suddenly discovered that he had contracted the disease.
Damien died of leprosy on April 15, 1889 at the age of 49 in Kalaupapa, Moloka'i, and was buried under the pandanus tree of the cemetery, where he first slept upon his arrival on Moloka'i.
Father Damien was beatified by St. John Paul II at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart (Koekelberg) in Brussels on June 4, 1995, and canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 11, 2009, and declared as the patron of people with leprosy. His major shrine can be found in Leuven, where his bodily relics held, and in Moloka'i, where his hand relics held.

💥💥💥 BOOM POW GET KILLED GET KILLED GET KILLED!!!!!
This is a redraw from January 6 2023, in honour of it being 1 YEAR since I posted the last chapter of The Father(s) and Son(s)!!!!! A little bit over a year actually because it was April 10th and it took me a little while to draw this lol
So much has changed in the span of a year omg. And for THE BETTER?? Like I’m going to school, I made and lost friends, I’m slowly but surely getting over some social anxiety (still a wip tho!!! 😭😭) and I’ve found so many cool mutuals and artists and just!!!! AAA!! Not to mention my art skills have improved a whole HELL of a lot!! LMAO
I don’t write as much as I did when I wrote my fic initially, and I feel bad for that sometimes, but it’s just a testament to how things have gotten a lot better for me and it’s not bad that I’m busy. I’m still trying to cobble together some more writing to eventually get another fic out, cuz I do genuinely miss it, but we’ll get there when we get there!
Anyway. TYSM TO EVERYBODY THATS STUCK AROUND FOR SO LONG/CAME HERE FROM MY FIC IN THE FIRST PLACE I LOVE YOU ALL AND YOU MADE MY LIFE BETTER!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
Pspsps closeups/old pic under the cut!!
#I was so proud of the old pic 😭 bro looks so strange#but I’m really proud of this pic too :3 once I added that dirt in the background I was like okay this is fuckinf slaying#I managed to find the same ref I used last time and hit the same snags as last time but I figured them out this time instead of just#changing the anatomy. like w/ his head and legs#anyway also this is from chapter 2 of my fic where the sole survivor dads maccready around it’s pretty good imo. go read it 🫵(pls :))#fallout 4#fallout#fallout 4 fanart#fallout fanart#fanart#Conrad Kellogg#Kellogg#sole survivor#male sole survivor#original character#blood tw#cw blood#cw violence#Damien tag#the father(s) and son(s)#art redraw#redraw#1 year later#serenade draws#fanfiction fanart#fanfiction

Metahumans Anonymous Pt.2
Continuing where Part 1 left off
(This is Damian Robin)
(Also I need to add one more thing about the previous part. This is an Anonymous Meeting Place, so to protect their identities even more, they wear Masks or Face Covers to try and stay hidden)
Robin was hopping across rooftops on Patrol, going through an area that he has noticed they have been accidentally avoiding, when he sees a strange light coming out from a skylight.
He wanders over and sees an average looking man shooting Fire at another man, who seems to be shooting Ice right back at him in some sort of battle. They even have technological weapons and masks.
Looking around the room more, there are potentially dozens of Metahumans battling in the room, all with small weapons and Masks. At first he thinks they are being made to battle by somebody else, like a Fighting Ring. But then, the two from before call for the others to wrap it up.
Obviously, those two are leading the others, and all of them are there of their own free will, he can tell that from their body language.
He is convinced that they are a group of Metahuman Criminals training to take over the city using their powers. He was raised in an Assassin Cult, and he inherited his dad's paranoia, so he doesn’t even consider the idea that this is completely harmless. He also just recently moved to Gotham, so he doesn’t know the real reason for the No Metas Rule, he just assumes the rumors were true that his dad didn’t like Metahumans and never brings it up.
In his eyes the only reason they could have for using their powers secretly in a warehouse at the edge of town using weapon-like machines against each other, was because they must be training. And if they are training, then they must have a reason for it.
He sees the two people that seem to be the leaders of the group. An average looking man with Fire Powers and a tall but thin man with Ice Powers.
He decides to look them up on the Bat-Computer, after Stalking them and getting a glimpse of their faces.
The Fire Guy looks like he had led a perfectly normal life, a little too normal in his opinion. He must be hiding something, this was obviously a fake profile. It was too clean. (this was actually because he didn’t want to be noticed for his powers, so he tried to keep under the radar as much as possible his whole life)
The Ice Guy was more interesting. He comes from a small town out in Illinois, and moved to Gotham for a job. His parents are registered as People of Interest in the Bat-Computer for their research into other dimensions, and they seem to lean a bit too far in the Mad side of Mad Scientists. He must be the one supplying their weapons.
There’s also some interesting reports from his hometown, a large amount of Powerful Metahuman Villains who recently stopped attacking the city and started living there peacefully. Even the Mad Scientists, who once proclaimed that they would skin the villains alive, had changed their Tune and started advocating for the Villains rehabilitation. Something was definitely up with the Ice Guy.
Robin doesn’t report this to his Father just yet. He only just recently joined the Bat-Family a few months ago, he’s still 10, and he really wants to prove himself by taking down an extremely dangerous Metahuman Villain Group by himself. Maybe his father would cement him as his one true heir then?
He decides to get creative. He can’t defeat all those villains by himself in a straight fight, and he knows picking them off one by one would put them on edge, but maybe he could...outsource their destruction.
He anonymously contacts the Rouge in the area that the Warehouse was in, and tells them that a group of Metas was going to try and take them over soon. He hopes that the villains will just kill each other, and he could pick off the leftovers. It would be two birds for the price of one, taking down both of the Villainous organizations at once and leaving him the sole victor.
The night he initiates the plan, he returns to the cave to rest for a few hours before he can go back out to deal with the leftovers.
Then Batman rushes in, yelling that they needed all hands on deck. Apparently a Civilian Assembly that he was in contact with was under attack by a Villain Organization. He and Robin rush out to help, but the closer they get, the more Robin realizes they are heading in the direction of the Metahuman Villain Group.
Did they make their move? Tonight of all nights? He had perfectly set up a situation where he could get all the credit, but now it was all going to collapse because he didn’t anticipate that they would make their move so early!
They get to the Assembly and see the two different Villain Groups battling. The Civilians must have been caught in the crossfire! He had caused this hadn’t he? (more than he knew)
He decides to take action, and defeat the biggest threats on the field. That of course, meant taking out the most powerful Metahumans in the battle. He goes for the second Leader, the one with Fire Powers, and knocks him out.
Before he can move on, one of his brothers calls out “Robin! What are you doing! Those are the civilians!”
By the time the battle is over, and the Villains have been repelled, Robin has realized what happened. The Civilian Assembly that was being attacked was the Villain Group that he had set up.
Of Course Batman would have known about the gathering of Meta-Humans in his City. He had met up with them months ago and made a deal with them to protect them in return for keeping their head down.
Thankfully nobody had been hurt to badly in the attack, and the Metas with healing powers could fix up most of the damage, but now that one Villain Organization knew about them, every single other one would know within a week. Their little slice of Heaven had been taken from them.
Danny is happy that none of their Masks were taken off or ripped, so none of the Villains will be able to see their faces, but they would need a new location if they ever decided to do in-person meetings again.
If they ever felt anywhere near "safe" again.
Basically, Damian f#cked up...
