warlock wizard Wally scribbles... Thinkings! oh and a bonus bard-ish Barnabys in the corner for flavor
outfit ramblings:
first of all that is a Terrible rendition of what Home looks like in my head. i just needed to fill empty space </3
the staff was the toughest part honestly. bc it Had to be paintbrush-themed, but then halfway through scribbling i was like "oh shit. there are only so many ways to draw a paintbrush-wizard-staff and Weevmo already hit it out of the park." so if you're seeing similarities! you're right! i tried to make it as different as i could! there is Inspiration from their marvelous design, however accidental or subconscious! Apologies!
he gets a pointed hood instead of a hat because a) it looks great on him! and b) it has less of a chance of messing up his hair! also c) it helps muddle the difference between Wizard and Warlock. typically hoods have evil/duplicitous connotation - blur the lines! i want his long gloves and forearm wraps to have the same vibe. his neckerchief is a big help in hiding Home's seal!
his layered (loosely apple-themed) capelet (which the hood is attached to) has a nice high collar & hides the details of his loose shirt - eye embroidery! and some flowers on the shoulders but yk, mostly eyes. on one side of the shirt buttons has open eyes, the other side they're closed! there's also one big eye on his back!
his belt buckle is two halves of an apple! he wears tall thigh-high boots w/ low heels to feel Taller! he has a book-holster hooked to the back of his belt, which holds his grimoire! and he has a lil thigh-bag that has been magicked to be Bottomless and warps size! he can fit pretty much anything in there! canvases! paint! apples!
his half-skirt thing (idk what the word for it is!) is really plush, like a quilt - his capelet is the same fabric. soft, cozy. sometimes he'll use the skirt thing as a blanket in a pinch, or as a picnic placemat!
is his outfit a little Complicated? is it annoying to replicate? yes and yes. but im a maximalist at heart and Nothing But The Best for the blorbo <3 layers my beloved <3
#i know ive said it before but whenever i make an au its essentially an Exploration in a sense#and this fantasy au ~Bog Edition~ is basically me going#'so wally and his house huh. whats up with that'#and maybe im taking it a bit to the extremes#since home is pretty much warlock wally's god??? sorta? loosely??#well it literally gave wally life and a body. so.#and it also literally took the place of his heart - wally Cannot live without home#they have a fun 'we cant exist without each other now' codependent very devoted kinda unhealthy relationship#wally sometimes has to do terrible things for home#and home will do terrible things in return for wally. even when wally doesnt want them to#and they both love each other very much <3 what kind of love is it <3 fuck if i know! theyre Weird About It though#its the only dynamic an ancient lovecraftian horror & the puppet they gave life & tethered itself to can have!!!#wally wisely keeps home & his 'warlock' status a secret from his friends for as long as he can#they just dont understand his & home's bond smh#scribble salad#welcome home#wh fantasy au#gonna have to workshop barns....#i need to balance the fantasy + hes a distinguished fella + bard#hence the hat. the hat stays.#gotta find the right vest...#and then everyone else if i feel like it....#outfit design is so Grueling but i refuse to keep it simple#there have to be LAYERS it has to be IN CHARACTER i have to put ALL THE EFFORT INTO IT

Brain empty only fish 🐟
#sundrop#fnaf daycare attendant#Luca au#mermaid au#mermaid sundrop#I should really draw moon more often#prom myself I’ll do a moon to go with this#feels like I’m returning to form with this artstyle#soft pen with colored shading#ended up with the same effect of that crayon pen I used to use#keep in mind#set the characters up more in a more interesting position it’s too far away this way#god can I ever draw my own design consistently#add fin and maybe change frills

I saw @qourmet's young madam lan art, and knew what I had to do.
#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan furen#horse#we need to name her horse IMMEDIATELY#Qingheng-Jun#She is stunning and beautiful and the design has me in a death grip#AND she's a horse girl? It was not even and option to not draw her.#Lan wangji has to get his biting and tearing and killing genes from somewhere.#Its maternal. He inherited the hunting instinct from his mother and an attraction to people who do crimes from his father#btw if yall haven't seen them; All of qourmet's prev generation designs are *so* good. I have genuinely gotten brainrot over CSSR and WCZ.#On every god that exists I WILL find a way to have them show up in the pd-mdzs comic canon. I've already scripted the comics. Its happening#Also it's been too long since I drew an equine. Why are there not *more* equines in MDZS. This is why I had to make the equineswap au.#I''m still not sure how a horse works. but I'm getting there.#Slowly I am creeping towards the necessary skill set I need to draw Qiyan Agula.#JQWS audio drama....I am gazing at you so fondly. I will return to you with power and strength (better comic skills to draw you)#we are a long way away but...that's the dream project.

Evil mc…but prison au? 👀
The cell block is her dance hall, and all the boys want to tango. Since she's a villain I'm assuming she's a fellow inmate.
Sans: Her eyes and ears in the prison... her unassuming spy who learns everyone's business and funnels it straight to her. Evil Mc being Evil Mc, she's probably found a way to place herself in the lower-risk prison block- perhaps convincing the prison board that she's at risk of being attacked if she's in the main cells. Perhaps Sans did the manipulation for her to get her more freedoms. Either way, she and her right hand man get a lot of quality time together.
... Sans likes having someone who knows the truth about how fucked up he is from the very beginning. She saw through him from the start. He doesn't have to pretend to be goofy, harmless, he doesn't have to wear a smiling mask; she knows exactly how dangerous he is and she likes it. It feels good to be alone together... to have someone with which he can completely drop the act.
Red: They still have that on-and-off highly flirtatious relationship that they have in the regular villain AU. He's just as devoted as before, he can't get enough of her, and she can't get enough of him either- he likes the danger. She likes his claws.
... Rather than being her ogeneral, he's more of a... bodyguard/supplier/willing boytoy. He keeps her safe if she ever ends up in the main prison population, he twists the guards' arms into doing what she wants, and he constantly delivers her a stream of any banned goods she needs (no questions asked). She respects the chokehold he has on the prison population and doesn't try to disrupt his command like another villain might- ironically, it means he now wants to give it to her willingly. It puts her in a position of massive power.
In a way, it does actually mirror the general and his superior. The army just happens to be the population of the prison.
Skull: Skull is less like her personal guard, and more like a personal bomb.
The fits of rage Skull enters when separated from Mc are something to behold. The prison, reluctantly, allow Skull and Mc a lot of time together- anything to get him to stop killing. Though he's muzzled and bound he still follows her everywhere like a lost dog, ready to take off the fingers of anyone who gets close; she happily feeds his obsessive connection to her, she's very doting and loving with him. The constant stream of attention actually leaves him in a stable enough state of mind to hold slow conversations, and forge alliances with the other two skeletons- it's easy to find common ground over their shared desire to be with her and keep her safe.
It's not dramatic to say he'd do anything for her. The moment she asks him to, he'd kill anyone, he'd break anything, he'd lay down mid-rampage, he'd start a riot. Anything she asks. Many 'incidents' of death or dismemberment chalked up to Skull just being insane were actually direct commands from Mc... though 'command' is a pretty harsh way of putting it.
All she did was ask softly, and kiss his cheekbone. That's all he needed.
#llamagines#evil mc prison au#prison au returns once again#no matter where u go. prison au is never far behind#have you ever wondered what the most frequently posted-about aus on my blog are?#prison au of course#siren related aus#forest gods are close after that#but theyre not even close to first place#first place is the gem aus hskdfj#the gem aus are ANCIENT#if you were there for those u get a llama blog veteran discount

A blast from the past.
#ahhhhh yes#the horrifying realization that the amnesiac god of nightmares you’ve been letting stay with you#the one who nearly swept the world into a terrifying darkness that would never pass#the one who scarred you both mind and body#he knows things he shouldn’t.#he’s echoing things he shouldn’t.#and you have to ask yourself#Is he only just barely beginning to remember?#or did he remember from the very beginning#and you were too busy pretending to be okay to notice?#(This would take place further in the timeline when Twig is pretty okay with Ark’s presence#and she’s even starting to see him as a friend#despite the doubt lingering in the back of her mind.#Kip is also home!! Our man returns from his expedition!!#and he is so confused why Twig is avoiding him.)#the present is a gift au#stuff by sofie#pmd2#pmd eos#pmd explorers#pmd sky#pmd#pokémon mystery dungeon#pmd darkrai#pmd au#pmd comic

listen listen,, sanuso childhood friends au but usopp is a forest cryptid instead.
sanji grows up hearing whispers about germa’s forest. it’s haunted, with whispering voices on the wind, trees that seem to trap you there like a maze and other miscellaneous strange happenings. cutting trees down is almost as impossible as camping there — with axes going missing when you turn your back and fires suddenly blowing out even when there isn’t any wind. animals seem to become uncharacteristically aggressive to anyone who sets foot into it.
While it should disturb sanji, it only makes him curious, especially when he’s gifted a book from his mother about strange, magical creatures that live beside them, just out of sight. and one day, after a particularly bad day of training, he goes into the forest. but, instead of being trapped in there or mauled by wild animals, the forest seems to invite him in. animals brush leisurely against him, seemingly watching him, and the wind brushes against him like a gentle kiss.
and so he finds his escape in the forest, surrounded by the animals and blooming nature (the only part of germa that isn’t made up of harsh cobblestone and architecture, really) and sometimes even finds himself talking to the strangely kind animals about anything and everything. sometimes, he feels like he’s being watched by the forest itself, some kind of presence far heavier and larger than the animals around him. it should scare him, that there is some unknown presence watching him, but it makes him feel strangely calm, protected even.
and then one day, he meets a strange boy (creature?) with large antlers protruding from his head that knock against the branches and trees when he walks, moss and leaves growing from his body and dark skin that looks almost like tree bark when close enough. the animals that sanji was sitting with seem to swarm to him, birds landing on his antlers and chirping happily and small deer foal stumbling around him, and sanji is enraptured.
usopp, as he soon learns he’s called, is nothing like the magical creatures from his book. he’s powerful, having almost full control of the whole forest; fun, with the tales he weaves so vivid that they could come to life and the first person sanji can call his friend.
when he has time to sneak off to meet usopp he does. knowing that his friend wouldn’t let anyone with any ill will towards the forest (and now him) get anywhere close to where they are makes him feel safe. it gives him an escape, away from germa and his father, away from everything. there, he’s just sanji. sanji who’s usopp’s best friend, sanji who can be himself, talk about his dreams of finding the all blue and his interest in cooking without any judgement. in turn, sanji tells usopp stories of places outside of the forest. although he doesn’t know much more than germa’s walls, he’s heard stories from his mother, read books about the wider world and even seen a few islands when germa docks at them. usopp is particularly enthralled by the idea of pirates, even claims that one day he will become one, and sanji promises to be his first mate.
it’s hard when sanji is locked away, even more than in canon, because now the one person and place he considers safe has also been ripped away from him. and usopp has never left the forest but, maybe when he realises that sanji isn’t returning, usopp gathers up the small dregs of his bravery and ventures out. it’s a scary ordeal, he’s been taught to never leave the forest, it’s apart of his instincts to stay hidden in the forest where he can watch and protect it. but, he does it anyway. he searches and searches but there’s no sign of sanji. so he searches day after day, worrying for his friend, waiting for a sign that he’s alive.
and one day he does find him. he’s frantic and more than a little worn looking, but he’s mostly fine. physically wise, anyway. he’s talking about escaping germa, escaping everything, and asks usopp to come with him. and, against his better judgment and pretty much everything he knows, usopp agrees.
so, they sail on the orbit together for a handful of years, sanji as a trainee chef and usopp as something like a cabin boy (and as the orbit’s local ghost story usually used to scare of particularly annoying guests). they have fun, more fun then ever before, with the ocean’s cradle and the whole world beneath their feet. usopp takes on a mostly human appearance, covering most of the lush moss and leaves with clothes and keeping out of guest’s eyesight. he can’t get rid of the antlers, but has learned to shrink them to a manageable size. sanji enjoys it somewhat, it almost feels like usopp is his secret, even if all of the staff know about him. he would probably enjoy it a whole lot more is usopp wasn’t so worried about being spotted though, it worries him too.
the staff on the orbit quite like usopp, strangeness aside. he gives of a strange aura that can scare anyone troublesome off, and the occasional reports from guests about him eventually become amusing. besides, he has a knack for animals, and sometimes manages to save them a few berri by distracting the news coo. and he somehow keeps the produce fresh. they keep him out of sight of the guests as best as they can, if only because they notice how jumpy they make him.
for a while, everything seems right. and then the orbit is attacked by zeff. the storm. the orbit sinks. and then sanji and usopp are separated.
they worry about each other, of course. they are desperate to find each other for a long time. but with the whole ocean between them, the ocean that was once an ally to their friendship, and uncountable islands, they have no idea how to even begin to look for each other.
and then in the future, when they’ve both pretty much accepted that they will probably never see each other again, they do. the straw hats help usopp at syrup village, where he had found himself after the orbit’s wreck and resided at for the last nine years. usopp joins the strawhats as their sniper (and it’s only partly because luffy finds usopp’s slightly inhuman looks cool!) and eventually finds himself at the baratie. when he arrives there, sanji sees him with the rest of the strawhats and is shocked, to say the least.
usopp looks a lot different from when they were children, human looking for the most part, and sanji looks different too, features matured and grown out but noticeably happier than usopp remembers.but, in the ways that matter, they are still the same.
usopp still weaves magical tales and can enrapture just about anyone with his words; still has that strange presence and distinct smell about him, like fresh rain and wet bark and sunshine, that comforts sanji just as much as it did when he was a shaking, scared child. sanji still talks of the all blue with that childlike wonder in his eyes, the wonder that inspired usopp to leave his forest in the first place; sanji is still just as wonderful and interesting as usopp remembers. they are still just the same, able to understand each other with just a look, despite all the time apart and all of their differences.
#one piece#usosan#sanuso#sanji#black leg sanji#usopp#god usopp#sanji x usopp#usopp x sanji#i love cryptids of all shapes and sizes#usopp is specifically based off a leshy here#and sanji in this au is probably so protective over usopp like in canon because he wants to return the favour#usopp make sanji feel safe when he needed it most so sanji will do the same for usopp now that he needs it

GOD I love drawing those stupid jorses 😭😭
Straight up made an infection AU bcs it was going around tiktok and now I keep drawing those little fuckers and making new ones it's becoming a problem
Art under the cut, tw for gore in general in some
There's so much more but omg it's becoming a problem 😭😭
Anyways if yall wanna see the infection it's @/mlpchronicwastingfiles on tiktok and updates are slow and actually kinda mediocre because I made the first parts and the next one I have in drafts before I had the progression figured out, so it's all sorts of boring and full of plot holes rn but I promise it will get better!
#mlp#horror#gore#mlp infection au#mlp infection#my art#god these stupid ponies are ruining my life (joking and affectionate)#i need to learn how to draw LotR too but ill figure that out later cause going from realism to illustration is HARD (for me at least)#also#funfact#google will just show you images of necrosis no issue#but my stepmom had to dig through like 8 sites for the temps of antarctica#soooo#(we were watching Return of the King and both went on tangents that bounced off each other. my Dad loooooves watching movies with us lol)

Thinkin about how the whole “Future trio going back to the present” hc/theory is backed up by Dusknoir of all Pokémon…. His dialogue about wanting to settle down somewhere as nice as treasure town…. While on his mission no less… like bro…
#but also. funny reversal of him not wanting to go back to the town he lied to + almost dooming everyone#and don’t forget the two Pokémon he traumatized and his return would only rip open so many wounds hero/partner slowly healed from#I just. god#the only reason the town doesn’t chase him out is bc Grovyle/Celebi (and partner for my au) vouch for him.#(+Wiggly’s philosophy on Bad Pokémon) (Not to say he isn’t watching Dusknoir’s every move and would break his fingers if he tried anything)#<<< thankfully chatot is there for that

cat prince souyo hehehe... save me cat prince souyo..
maybe yosuke saves a cat from being run over on his way to work, and a new person shows up in town. those two events are definitely not in any way related.
yu is the cat prince who comes to inaba to experience what life is like to humans and how to blend in. dojima and nanako are cat royalty as well so he gets sent to live with them for a bit. yes they can turn into cats.
yosuke saves cat!yu from being run over by a car or something. the next night after, theres a knock at yosuke's door, and yu shows up, thanks yosuke for saving his life and tells him that he wants to show his appreciation.
yosuke is of course really confused, and he's like what?? so yu goes into his cat form and stands up on his hind legs. yosuke is starting to think that this is a dream and he really should start saying no to taking those extra shifts if this is the dream he's gonna get
also yosuke being yosuke is like "nah man s ok it was nothin" and yu is like "no, no, i insist" before he leapts off and yosuke's left wondering why he's dreaming of a hot guy turning into a cat
like a day later a basket of fish appears in his kitchen and he's like ??? where did this come from until he remembers what happened. he then starts going FUCK ok ok first of all the fish. i need to give it back to him because i don't like fish. then he hops on his bike and realises FUCK where does he live. so he keeps it in the freezer for the time being until he can figure out what to do
yu then shows up at JUNES going did you like the fish :3 and yosuke is like "im so sorry dude but i actually don't like fish..." but yu looks so crestfallen like a cute cat who's sad and yosuke is about to pat him on the back until he perks back up and goes "wait for tomorrow :3" and speeds off as yosuke realises that he never asked where yu lived so he can give back the fish
cue the next few days becoming extreme tomfoolery when yu gives him gifts that cats like because he doesn't get how humans work yet and he didn't ask nanako and dojima, cats who have been more accustomed to humans and their behaviour for help. smart move bancho.
until yosuke's had enough and just tells yu that he really doesn't like the gifts but yu just looks so sad like a wet cat that yosuke goes what if you took me out to eat or hang out because he's been affected by yu's charms.
after that surprisingly fun date outing, yosuke thinks that's the end of it, until yu shows up the day after like "hi lets go out :3"
and then??? he just shows up everytime??? and they both have fun together??? and then yosuke begins to fall for bancho (and vice versa) as they both get to know each other more??? (i mean, you do seem pretty good with your hands) astounding, brain. bravo. maybe yu tells yosuke more about the cat kingdom and how he doesn't know that much about humans
one day, yu decides to confess via courtship, and starts becoming really touchy with yosuke. like in his cat form he rubs up against yosuke more, and in his human form, he purrs a lot around him and links their hands together. And yosuke's like ??? (flushed) but he's not saying no because maybe its just a normal thing in the cat kingdom. definitely not cuz he likes yu or anything.
but yu thinks yosuke is giving out a lotta mixed signals to his courting, like shying away sometimes (he's embarrassed because they were in public) or accepting it but not leaning into it, so he goes to dojima for advice.
dojima: did you ever tell him you're courting him. he probably doesn't know what you're doing.
yu: ...oops :3
and off he goes to fix off his mistake! dojima sets him a few things straight and awkwardly tells him about dating and stuff before he goes to meet yosuke on the riverbank.
funnily enough that's also when yosuke decides to confess to yu, so when yosuke goes "I like you!" all blushing and after yu also reciprocates he's like "is this a good time to mention that I've been courting you"
yosuke: you've been WHAT
yu: :3
and so they became official boyfriends!! (and maybe cat husband kings but thats for later)
yosuke gets to tease yu about it for a week until yu kisses him til he's dazed and yosuke promptly falls into a trash can.
#souyo#persona 4#yosuke hanamura#yu narukami#YIPPEEEE this milled around in my brain for a bit#this was also based off the cat returns but like i become insane#i wanted to do that thief souyo au on hourlyhanamura's twitter but my brain said no heart emoji and i was like damn ok#but follow hourlyhanamura please and thank you for yosuke pictures#i like the one post on hourlyhanamura where arena shadow yu goes you're my partner now :3. absolute banger.#my brain is vibrating#chefs kissing. making out even#god. brain not englishing. hope you guys can understand what im posting

thinking about a no upside down au steddie fic where steve and eddie run into each other years after moving away from hawkins, and eddie remembers steve and his fall from grace as king, and is kind of intrigued to see what kind of person he is now
and steve doesn’t remember him at all at first, because, look, eddie changed his hair again, and steve’s had a few head injuries (no upside down but i imagine he still went thru some shit with the party and with robin), and he didn’t really think about eddie in high school anyway, and he’s trying to forget about hawkins as much as possible (besides the kiddos, but they’re all moved out for college now, anyway) (obviously he lives with robin)
but steve is different now, happier, more open, flirts with guys, flirts with EDDIE, and eddie….. well, he wants to know more! and he tells steve he knows him from hawkins, and steve’s sunny little smile flickers a little, but he just apologizes for not remembering him and mentions he has some memory problems
and they get to know each other, and eventually as eddie tells him more (and maybe with the help of some yearbooks) steve remembers eddie. and. well. they like getting to know each other. and they like each other. and then they get together
eventually they’ve been together for a while, and eddie thinks he wants to maybe introduce steve to wayne, and he mentions he’s going to go back to hawkins for a long weekend (as he’s done a couple times) and this time he’d like steve to join him
and again steve’s sunny smile flickers a bit, but he says he’d love to meet eddie’s uncle, and… they go to hawkins. and it goes well— meeting wayne, at least, but steve seems a little on edge the whole time they’re there, tense when they drive in, fidgety when they go to the grocery store, et cetera. eddie thinks maybe steve is nervous about staying with the man who raised eddie, which is ridiculous, because wayne LOVES steve.
it’s not til they leave the town altogether that steve relaxes, and eddie realizes it wasn’t “meeting the parents” but rather going back to hawkins. and speaking of meeting the parents, steve didn’t ever bring his own up, even though eddie knew they still lived in hawkins. and the way steve glanced around whenever they went in public, like he was scared of getting recognized
and he asks about it, and steve doesn’t really want to talk about it, but he gives eddie snippets of it. people he wanted to leave behind in hawkins, memories that resurfaced, things he wants to forget
eddie goes back to see wayne sometimes, and the first time he doesn’t know whether to ask steve to come, so he just mentions he’s thinking about going to hawkins for some weekend and steve immediately starts making plans with him as if the invite is implicit. they go back to hawkins several more times, steve still tense and pent up the whole time they’re there
over time steve reveals more and more to eddie. everything that made hawkins hell for him, from the things he himself did in high school to the things people did to him. stuff tommy and carol and billy said to him. some of it is just typical high school bullshit (and oh, the nancy thing.) some of it is the tragedies steve went through, the horrors he had to protect his kids from. the injuries he sustained. more generally the homophobia that permeated the whole town, keeping steve from being himself. the lack of support in the indiana public school system for a high school senior who’s had two concussions and gone through incredible trauma.
his parents. the reason why steve’s mail is addressed to ‘steve buckley’ now, not ‘steve harrington’.
(that doesn’t come out until much, much later, and eddie is kicking himself for ever suggesting steve come back to hawkins.)
eddie, who hardly had an easy time of it in hawkins, is absolutely blown away by what steve had gone through in the same town, right under his nose. the entire persona that steve was trying to leave behind — the cool as a cucumber, unaffected, douchey mask he wore to hide all that he had endured. the head injuries. the emotional tragedies he had gone through. the way he had to be the rock for the kids even as he went through the same things as them.
he tries to tell steve they never have to go back to hawkins again, and steve is having none of it. he tells steve wayne can come visit them in their new city, and steve thinks that’s completely unfair to the man who had raised eddie, seriously, you’re going to make him come all the way up here?
and well i don’t know exactly what the ending is but steve is so stubborn about trying to love hawkins because it was eddie’s home and he wants to be able to go see wayne because wayne deserves to see his kid and eddie deserves to see his uncle and steve doesn’t want to be the problem :(
#steddie#stranger things#this isn’t very fleshed out but just. hawkins as an incredibly scarring place for steve#something built up in his mind as a very dangerous place for him not just because of what happened there but who he had to be there#i think ultimately it would culminate in them going back to hawkins and running into steve’s parents when they least expect it#and steve gets to yell at them in public and tell them they suck and ruin their image and eddie is being his little guard dog next to him#baring his teeth#for the no upside down part of the au i think it would have to be like. nebulous tragedy of season 1 struck them#barb still died (sorry barb) so that his relationship with nancy falls apart. will and el are twins and they disappear the same night#steve knows the kids earlier in the timeline in this one and has already basically adopted them when will and el go missing#eddie was never the victim of a massive witch hunt but jason still harasses him during his third senior year and gets ppl to gang up on him#so he was never like Wanted by all of hawkins and can never return but he sure doesn’t feel welcome there besides w wayne#oh i also think it would be important that one of the trips steve snaps at eddie bc he’s so strung out and immediately regrets it#and takes it as proof that when in hawkins Steve Is A Bad Person and tries to explain this to eddie#eddie meanwhile is trying to convince steve that he’s not a bad person and that he was being mean because he’s completely stressed out#and he wouldn’t be so stressed out if he didn’t make himself come back to hawkins#anyway ultimately. steve realized hawkins is just a place where bad things happened. it is not a place that makes people (including himself)#bad. it’s just. a place. and steve did not grow and change for the better bc he got out of hawkins. he got better bc he put the effort in#god i just. love steve so much and the version of him in my mind is so much better developed than what the duffers are doing

#listening to judy and mary's classic#thinking about kaishin hugging and cuddling#tired shinichi recharging by pulling in kaito in his arms#his head on kaito's shoulder#tucking his head into the crook of his neck rubbing his head on kaito's shoulder and shedding away all his stress and worries#kaito leaning his head on top of shinichi's with the softest smile and rubbing soothing circles on shinichi's back#OH GOD OH FUCK I LOVE THEM#or or or#kaito coming home and makes a beeline to where shinichi is#hugging him from behind and breathing in his scent to calm his senses after very stressful day#shinichi smiling and reaching for kaito's head to gently card through his hair leaning in to press a kiss on top of his head#kaito kissing the back of his neck in return#wow i love tired cuddle kaishins i need more of them actually#let me reread that one au ruler tired shinichi fanfic actually brb#dc prattles#kaishin
