JACK THE GIANT KILLER

originally this was a kind of personal visual vibe test: I'm still turning some thoughts around about jack in my head (altho I have finished assembling the skeleton of a story and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when I start to press at it) but I really liked how it turned out so I'm posting it as it's own illustration :)

the first post about this idea is over here, but I've fine tuned it down a bit so that the story begins with jack finding the body of a giant while he's out in the woods one day, and the story spirals out of hand before he can stop it.

it's been interesting to read up on jack tales from a literary analysis point of view while I figure this story out!! and through the power of more coffee, I think. I'm close to pinning down an underlying theme I'd really like to bite into. I just need to condense it down to a couple of sentences instead of several paragraphs.

and to close this post out, here's another excerpt from the j.g. ballard's the drowned giant that haunts me!

Oh girls It seems I just overthought everything!!!🙄 (nice Soah lol)

Even today, I was expecting that we would just say hello to each other in the corridor, but now he came up to me and asked if I would like to have a coffee with him, to which I said yes, a little reluctantly, but happily.😳😳 omg omggg

Then we sat down in the yard and it was just him and me, away from everyone so no one could hear us. He turned to me and while drinking his coffee, he stroked my head kindly and you can imagine girls... he started talking. He apologized for behaving differently than usual, told me that he was in the middle of moving and that he had to spend a lot of time on this, and that he had taken on a lot of extra work at the university and that he really wanted to buy the kitten soon. He initiated me into things I didn't even think about and I felt very guilty that I "attacked" him in a selfish way, that he doesn't take care of me. I started to respect him even more and I also apologized to him for not being respectful to him.🥺

Then he jokingly pushed my shoulder and I remember his words: "I would never be mad at you for something like that, because we're friends…or something like that, right?" I just smiled to my embarrassment and said yes we are friends or something like that. (????? YEAHH?? OR MORE THAN?? OR WHAT)

So now we're fine and I'll be a smart girl (i promise) I'll respect his boundaries and I won't force him attention, I'll let him approach and if I see that he's allowing me, I'll approach him again, but carefully.

I really love this man.

cw: mention of previous abuse, dad Dabi, mom reader, mention of childbirth, angst

new dad touya that doesn’t know how to deal with his son. he’s growing too fast and his smiles are so big, but he’s still not sure how to just be with him.

touya isn’t abusive in the slightest, not like his shit for brains dad. he can acknowledge, after you’ve drilled it into his head on cold nights where you had to hold his quivering cheeks in your hand, that he’s better. that he’s trying. that he’s a great dad.

he doesn’t really believe it. it’s hard to believe that he’s a great dad when his son, still covered in that fresh newborn smell, stares up at him with matching azure blue eyes, the little shit, and he finds it hard to smile back. it’d be easier to smile back if he could guarantee a life with no trauma, with the perfect pair of parents, that he’d love him as much as his tiny little face deserved.

touya can still hear the labor and delivery nurse tell him that he must’ve gotten on your nerves for the baby to look so much like him, and that they’ve never seen a baby that fresh out the womb smile so big at their dad. he hands the little bundle back to you, and glares at the nurse who hands him a tissue. he takes it anyway.

touya loves his son. so goddamn much that it hurts, but, he doesn’t know how to be a dad. and he knows that you don’t know how to be a mom either, that it’s a learning process for the both of you. but he’s so scared—he’s terrified that he’ll fuck up this innocent brat with his ruin. with his scars and history and the want to better but never knowing how to just be.

so he leaves. it’s the day after your sons first birthday that you celebrated together in your home.

you thought everything was okay, that he was starting to get the hang of being a dad. he did everything right, why couldn’t he stay? he sat on the floor with your son and changed his diaper and made him giggle those addicting baby giggles? he carried your son everywhere whenever he cried after being sat down without a single complaint? he helped him open his birthday presents? he didn’t smash the cake in his face, only swiped a little icing on his sons nose to hear that addicting baby giggle? he held your son like he could never let him go?

how could he just go like this? you thought he was finally learning and accepting how to be a dad? what happened?

decided to grow my shitty ass ratty ass hair out. gonna blame gerard way and his pesky gender when it inevitably looks god awful for a good couple months before I can start to look cool

of course i had to do the hair meme with him too

okay I started reading Dungeon Meshi the other day only because I liked those character sheets. it's good and fun so far, I'm on chapter 37 and very invested. I thought it was gonna be just slice of life (because it was for like the first 20 chapters or so), but now there is a plot, and I like it both ways. it has kind of a slow start even for the slice of life stuff: not like it's bad, I was just unsure whether it was going to move past "enjoyable" for the first couple chapters. but then it went from enjoyable to deeply charming and now it's gone to exciting while still pretty darn charming. without knowing the author, I can confidently say she's a giant nerd. this is a work that would be impossible to create unless you were a person who is great at drawing with intense special interests in classic fantasy RPGs and biology/ecology. which sounds very specific but thank goodness because that's what makes it good. it feels like it comes from a place of love.

Putting a cat ear headband on Legacy, the cute moth that he is

now he does not only have cat behavior, he is BECOMING A CAT ENTIRELY!!!!

it's actually Hu Tao who gives you the cat ear headband as a joke, giggling with that signature mischievous glint in her eyes as you just give her a flat, deadpan stare. it's big for you, much too big, and you know that Hu Tao is keenly aware of Foul Legacy's existence, one of few in the harbor besides you and Zhongli. you look up at her again with a raised brow, and the funeral parlor director has to fight to keep herself from devolving into cackles at your expression, skipping over to your side and cheerfully pointing out that there are bows sewn at the base of the ears

she has to duck out of the way when you move to smack her head, laughing all the while

as usual, Legacy runs to greet you when you return home, nudging himself into your arms and purring, but he pauses when he sees the headband in your hands, tilting his head and trilling curiously. with a quiet sigh you hold it up for him to inspect, Legacy's claws poking the faux fur covering the ears- it's not nearly as soft as his fur, and he prods his own fluff to prove it. you nod and gesture for him to lean down, then abruptly plunk the ears on his head, right in front of his horns. he chitters in surprise, shaking his head and batting at the new accessory with his talons for a few minutes before looking at you questioningly, and oh my ARCHONS he's even more adorable with cat ears. now he looks like a cat twice as much, and the ribbons on the headband match the lilac of his fluff!! you quickly snap a photo with your kamera to save for your photo album- of course he can't wear the headband all the time, so you'll have to substitute for tying little bows around both of his horns <3

whopee

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been here, but when I say that the last while has been rough? It's been fuckin' ROUGH.

Okay y'all it is over it is done the conversation has been had he knows I love him we are still friends I have cried my eyes out properly I have laughed again my heart will keep on hurting for a while but it is FINISHED

Happy Debut Anniversary, Xiao Zhan!
