something about weiss continuously being so tired of blake and yang dancing around their feelings and refusing to ever communicate makes me laugh so hard.
she was genuinely so done with them it's so funny
like this girl was STRUGGLING; she was calling them both out on their gay bullshit and there was no one more relieved than she was when they got together.
actually, wait i think it's funnier to believe that she's initially relieved like 'oh thank god this is finally over' and then it just dawns on her that now that they've worked through their feelings and are officially together, she's just in for more gay bs.
Nuts & Dolts Week 2023 - Day 2 - Carrying Each Other
Hey peeps!
More gay people!
This has been a sketch on my iPad for a while, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it fit the prompt! (Which is a good thing because I was really stumped for a WHILE)
Anyhoo, as a form of healing from the previous background, I simply made ✨shapes✨ and a ✨gradient✨ here. It’s kinda like a weird sunset?
Okay, so here’s something VERY interesting about Ruby’s ‘Your mother said those words to me.’ breakdown in Volume 7 that I cannot believe took me until NOW to notice.
You know how Ruby’s Silver Eyes activate during this moment where she is very likely having some kind of flashback to some heavily repressed traumatic memories?
Well, let’s remember something we learned from Maria in the previous volume: The Silver Eyes will ONLY activate in the presence of Grimm. Now, we know that in the Battle for Haven, Ruby’s Silver Eye activation was in response to Cinder’s then-concealed grimm-arm.
But here? There are no Grimm in Ironwood’s office for Ruby’s Silver Eyes to react to!
Now, you could make the argument that Salem’s ghost-projection had enough grimm-material to trigger Ruby’s eyes. However, if that were the case then WHY is Salem’s projection clearly unaffected by the flash of Ruby’s eyes? Instead dissipating on its own some moments later.
No, I am almost certain that the silver eyes activation in this scene was entirely on Ruby and whatever she’s been repressing about her mom.
In other words, Ruby used her Silver Eyes all on her own, WITHOUT needing Grimm nearby. All thanks to something related to SUMMER.
(shoutout to @cosmokyrin for tipping me off to this detail :D Thanks!)
I had a lot of trouble with this prompt, specifically related to posing these two lovebirds, but I found a cute pose assortment after scrolling Pinterest for an hour, so we’re all good now lol
Also, hey! Wow! Look at that background! So impressive, right?? Definitely worth the 4 hours it took, riiiiight?? Jk lol. I actually found a nice shortcut with the pen shape options, so drawing Mantle’s skyline was easier than normal. (Still not fun, and very time consuming, but I’ll take easier)
