Day 5 of James Riley Appreciation Week. I chose Ships!! Here are some of my fav queer ships I like from his books, regardless of whether they’re canon or not!

drew this scene from chapter 65 of my story thieves fic, Reality Check! :’)

Bethany, scanning a menu: What would you like?

Kiel: A milkshake with two straws

Bethany, blushing: Okay

Kiel: *putting both straws into his mouth* Look at how fast I can drink this

Babies. Infants.

Story Thieves Appreciation Week Day 7: Crossover or Free Day. (This can fall under either lol)

This ended up being rushed lol. Also I've been meaning to make this animatic for some time now

Do you have any kielany headcannons when they’re dating?

They constantly break gender roles together. Bethany is more comfortable in a suit and Kiel will absolutely wear a dress, because he looks fabulous in one and he knows it.

They like going to amusement parks for dates, mostly for the rollercoasters. They love the thrill!

In the rare moments that they’re doing something relaxing together, they’re usually snuggled together inside one of their homes, combing their fingers through each other’s hairs.

They like to tackle each other with surprise hugs. Bethany once managed to knock Kiel over with one.

Bethany says I love you first. Kiel waited to say it because he wasn’t sure how Bethany felt about him, especially since it seemed like she wasn’t picking up the hints he gave that he liked her in that way. (And she wasn’t. Bethany is not good at perceiving when someone has a crush on her.)

Their first kiss takes a while to get to. Mostly because they kind of forget that’s a thing and are too busy enjoying spending time with each other on dates. Besides, they don’t need to kiss to know they romantically love each other!

You and Bethany?

shes pretty awesome!! if shes into me then heck yeah we make an awesome ship!! ;)

–the ansolutely awesome kiel gnomenfoot

Story Thieves Appreciation Week Day 4

Favorite ship

~

Kielany💕

I've loved these two since book one

Kiel: KIEL GNOMENFOOT DOES WHAT HE WANTS

Owen: Alright that’s it, I’m calling Bethany.

Kiel: no wait

Wait, so do you see the likelihood of Kielany going together higher? Or Gwethany?

I’m not commenting on what *I* think happens :) The series ended, so at that point, anything you want to happen next can happen! 

st x st au i drew for a christmas gift exchange!!

(top is kiel as lucas and bethany as max, bottom is kara as robin & orion as steve)

Therapist: So what's bothering you?

Bethany: He's always using common phrases incorrectly!

Kiel: Oh cry me a table, Bethany!

Story Thieves Appreciation Week Day 5: Fluff or Hurt/Comfort

Gwen is usually the comforter so I think she deserves to be the comforted for once. Also it’s been too long since I drew Kwethany I miss them.

Owen+Charm=Chowen(???) Oharm(???) I never liked it until book 5 even though basically nothing happened. I still imagine Charm punching Owen whenever she gets the chance, though. As a sign of affection. Also that when they’re older they would be dating in secret, even though everyone who knows them suspects that they’re dating. And that (i don’t remember if charm had any siblings because I haven’t read the full series in like, forever) if Charm had any siblings they would say ”Owen and Charm, sitting in a tree, k i s s i n g”.

However I also ship Bethany and Owen (IN DIFFERENT HEADCANONVERSES OWEN SHOULD NOT BE CHEATING) because Bethany can jump into books and because Owen’s mom is a librarian and because they’ve known each other at school.

I also ship Kiel and Bethany (once again, in different headcanons) because of what happened in book 5, even though basically nothing happened.

I

Cannot

Decide

Which one

I like best.

Happy Valentines!!! <з♡ ❥ ❦ ςշ (り♥︎ ς2 ❧ ε> ღ
