My most recent project! I have SO many thoughts about this au, so stay tuned because I will definitely be making more content for this! Do you have a favorite?
One thing I find interesting is the duality Zayne brings out in me...
Like part of me wants to be his pretty little housewife. Making him lunches to take to work with cute notes about how much I love him. Waiting eagerly for him to get off work so we can spend a quiet evening together. Cuddling with him on the sofa while he reads through some medical textbook, the sound of his voice lulling me to sleep. Waking up with him on his days off, neither of us wanting to move so we spend the morning wrapped in the warmth of eachothers arms.
But then there's another part of me that wants to push this man to his absolute limits. Be a complete brat, tease him in public, disobey his orders, do everything I can to rile him up until he's so fed up with my attitude that he pushes me into the closest surface, face inches away from mine as he practically growls in my ear. His voice low and threatening as he reprimands me for being such a brat, while his hips rut into mine, pounding his cock into me as he pins me against the wall. His thrusts merciless, forcing orgasm after orgasm from me until I'm a crying, whimpering mess. But he doesn't stop, simply leaning closer to whisper in my ear "you wanted to be a brat so now you need to deal with the consequences of your actions" "you can take it" "is this what you wanted, Angel?" "I'm not stopping so be a good girl and take it" and then his hips pick up their pace, fucking into me harder as he lets out all the frustration I've caused him.....
So, like. Had more time to ruminate on it. And Across the Spiderverse is what a story about a super-powered kid should be. It’s a story about this kid who wants to be a hero more than anything. He is a hero. But he’s a kid too. And he says, “Why can’t I save everyone?” Why can’t he? What is the point of being a hero if you don’t try to save everyone. And then movie sits you (the audience) down and spells it out: you see all these kids? Yeah, they’ve LOST the people they love. It’s a sacrifice for being this way. *shrugs* That’s just how it is, kid. And we can’t change it because we lost that fight already.
And Miles. Oh man, this kid. He’s says, “Fuck that. I write MY story and no one else.” And then he’s an anomaly and he wasn’t even supposed to BE the hero.
And you stop. And you think. That’s the point. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re supposed to be the hero. You choose it. It’s not destiny. It doesn’t matter if the spider bit you or someone else. What matters is that you’re a kid and you’re gonna save the people you love no matter what because that’s what you choose to believe in.
Idk, man. Maybe stories about heroes should be more about hope and love and defying expectation and less about the tragedy of giving up everything for the sake of the world. Maybe some times you DO save everyone. You know, as a treat.
dan mentioning their 15 year anniversary suddenly hit me cause it’s still months away. but it’s on top of their minds already and mine too and i just can’t help but feel when the day comes, it’ll be something incredibly special. together for nearly half their entire lives.. i wanna cry tears of joy just thinking about it
Me after finding fallenwings: I have the perfect mitski song for this
Genuinely had the shittiest week ever, but there's no going mad after discovering this bad boy. The concept of Vaggie and Lute being bitter, toxic yuri exes is too irresistible. I am not really a fan fiction person, but I read a fic earlier, it changed my life, so gonna make a bunch of stuff for them now. I just have so many thoughts about them and their parallels.
Like if they were exes, that means they were domestic once, right? (privately perhaps bc of Lute's homophobic ass lmao). But what if Lute took Vaggie on many dates to dance and spar together or Vaggie showed her how to make pupusas and laughed when she realized Lute wasn't paying attention at all, too busy watching her in her element.
A relationship born from rivalry to friendship and beyond, all that love, and they'll never belong in each other's arms ever again.
The angst is very nice.
Aside from my blabbing, trying out something different with my art style. Drawing necks after not drawing them for so long is weird, I can't say I know how to feel about it yet.
