When my friend Martearty shared this meme to our little art server, I couldn't resist joining with Ludwik 💖
Ludwik and Molly's story is very special to me; a journey about finding and defining yourself anew, rising again after the world has beaten you down entirely, and as always - the immense and transformative power of love in all its forms 💖
Ludwik's story doesn't have a happy beginning. It's filled with strife, hardships and agony. Abused by his father the boy is destroyed down to his core, cursed to become the same monster as his father... but through his journey, Ludwik rises again. He finds the strength to break the chain and free himself. From exiled prince to rising as king of the new world he creates with his friends and lover Molly, he finds that despite life's dark corners, there is light and joy to be found. His experiences has left their irremovable marks, but they need not define him or steer him down a path of darkness and lonliness.
Despite everything, he survived and came out a stronger, kinder and braver man. His future is bright, and it gets better 💖
A rare lore illustration for once. I really should draw more of this kind of stuff too between all the romance, it's very cathartic 💖
Even the most damaged man can gain his bright gaze once more-
Because It'll always be him.

Survival AU Karl is my favorite. He gives me a little hope for the future.//
I think about this scene with Asriel a lot. No single character gets to me more than Chara. Their story and their story alone is enough to make me emotional. It's silly, getting sad over a video game, but there's just something about this dead kid who hated the world but was shown kindness and felt so terribly angry about how these wonderful, kind people had to suffer while the humans, the people they despised, got to live happily above ground. Felt so strongly about it that they sacrificed themself in order to make their family free.
