So, about that one AU that's been marinating in my mind for years

safe zone; for harusoie 1st anniversary

Ice and flame. A prince and a peasant. Whilst hidden in a safe zone one evening, their hearts collide.

"Love at first sight?" Cain isn't someone who'd fall in love that easily. Considering the kind of environment he was born and raised in, he wouldn't be surprised if he never experience the emotion at all. Not like he minds in the slightest, though. "I don't think so," he responds, reluctantly. "I mean, who would even want to have a useless prince as their lover?" He masks his bitterness behind a forced laugh. "So long as the prince in question is you, then, I do," Celeste confesses, bluntly. Cain, son of Jugla. Crown Prince of Northaria. The kingdom of eternal snow and frozen beauty. Despite his blood of pure royalty, he is unable to wield magic. Unlike his adoptive brother, Lutz, many have already deemed him inappropriate to be the throne's heir. So why, in the world, would this peasant servant from the opposing kingdom declare such bold words before him? His mind tells him sternly not to get his hopes up; but his heart, stubborn for some reason, refuses to listen. "Really now?" Cain lets out a strained chuckle. "If you keep spouting gibberish like that, I might just actually fall for you, you know?" Celeste smiles to themselves, and whispers: "You already have, though?"  Cain fixes his gaze onto Celeste; the playful, little spark in their eyes becoming more prominent under the gentle light of the moon. They're both closely enjoying each other's warm company; the large window of an old, abandoned room they have claimed as their own meeting place on lonely, yearning nights like tonight, keeping them safe from the public eye. "I truly cannot win against you, can I?" The crown prince sighs tiredly in defeat. Instead of another smooth comeback, however, Celeste flashes him a sweet smileーhis favoriteーand leans back onto his shoulder comfortably. He then shifts his position a little, so they're now wrapped in a tight embrace from behind. "I'm sorry we have to hide like this every time we meet." "No big deal. Spending time with you in secret is much better than all the chores waiting for me at home." Cain rolls his eyes. "Again with your cheesy punch lines, geez, Celeste, when will you run out of those! But... I can't really call that hellish place of yours a 'home' if I were you..." "Yeah, right. I could say the same for you too but, oh well." Celeste shrugs that last statement away, hoping Cain won't take it as offense. Fortunately, he didn't. "Thanks for worrying about me, your highness." "Nonsense!" Cain furrows his eyebrows. "I'm no prince here. Just call me by my name, you know I prefer that way between us." "Then... I love you, Cain." The full moon seems to have radiated a milder, more mysterious glow, upon hearing those words. The breeze turns cool, the night even quieter. It's in times like these when Cain feels calmest, most relieved and free. No duties to complete, no roles to fulfill, no expectations to live up to and surpass. The exact same case applies to Celeste too, despite the huge gap in the status they bear. Squeezing them ever so tightly, but not too hard now, as if he's afraid that he'll lose them if he holds on to more than what's necessary, Cain returns the weight of his heart that solely belongs to them. "I love you too, Celeste. I promise. In every lifetime that will eventually be granted to us, I'll find you. And I’ll come back to you." "Oh my, look who's the romantic one now!" Celeste laughs, lightheartedly; their expression, softening. “I don’t think I’m someone worthy of that much time but... I look forward to seeing you again, and again, and again, my Prince.”  And yet another forbidden rendezvous concludes as their foreheads touch, noses brush, and lips meet, at long last, from within their only safe zone.

When your brother wants to betray the powerful demon king you both work for but you know that's NOT going to end well so you try to convince him not to do it but he's also seen those LUSTFUL gazes you do to said demon and calls you out

Do we see the vision

Sillies

I don’t know if you know this but I love a good royal au just as much if not more than a mer au… so when someone mentioned it at the beginning of May and i went for the thematic mermay instead I vowed I would come come back to the subject. Sketch dump time

Enter young king Aaron and prince Andrew, who recently were assigned new personal guards but Andrew is starting to realize every other word out of Abram’s mouth is only a half-truth if not an outright lie… what could he possibly have to hide

this is the first of many scheduled posts... Hope you understand and like it, even tho my art style changed a lot in like 2 years:)

Dragon doodles! Namely dragon swap but also new dragon boy.

So Silver Dragon Cookie is a new guy I’m designing, not sure if the look here is the final design but it’s definitely closer to what I am thinking. Dragon form too.

Rest is dragon swap because god I havent developed the dark cacao side of this au enough so have that.

been brainstorming other stars specifically asters technically guardians/the wishing ground keepers? Liked the idea they were based on zodiacs and then my friend helped with coming up with ideas where their animal or theme plays into some kind of Disney movie or character 👀?

Tears

The character design for Tears is here! (Minor edits for style)

I took more of a stealthy-like approach for him based on my own gameplay style and preference (the Sheikah stealth set is my favorite!). The hood was originally the in-game blue-black color but there were too many colors going on so now it’s dyed white

WIP Wednesday!

Lately I've been working most on my SVSSS fic that's basically a "What if Shen Yuan was a little older and a little more competant". That's it, that's the fic. I have zero idea where it's going to end up, but I've got two chapters worth scribbled down, so that's something! I've also got an outline for a Tangled-inspired Liushen AU that I don't want to start because once I do, I think I'll keep going until it's done and I want to get more done on the longer fic first xD

I've still got plans for the post-MLC fic I'm working on! I really should finish that, since it doesn't have anywhere to go and should just be the one chapter... Who knows. I let words get away from all the time.

I've still got a couple of FF14 WIPs too, though the MSQ follow-along will always be slow going... I do want to finish the Dark Knight fic, but my WoL was in a Not Good headspace when he started that, so it's on a back burner too.

Feel free to Ask me to work on any of these and I'll post a new paragraph~ but either way, enjoy the snippet!

The entire night passed while he read, the morning only making itself known to Shen Yuan when a knock sounded at the entrance to his room and Ming Fan’s voice announced, “Shizun, I left breakfast at the table for you. Please let this disciple know if there is anything further needed.”

“Nothing but privacy, Ming Fan. I am only to be disturbed by meals for the next three days.” While he recovers is not spoken aloud, but carried in the silence that he lets linger a moment longer than it needs to. “Unless another Peak Lord requires my presence.”

Ming Fan bowed and started to leave after confirming the instructions, but was stopped by Shen Qingqiu’s voice adding, “Perhaps I will meditate in the gardens today. If I am not here, let it be known that I am unavailable for company.”

That should cover most possibilities. He was sure Mu Qingfang wouldn’t be back by so soon, but he couldn’t say the same for anyone else. With the worry from Yue Qingyuan that Mu-shidi had mentioned or potential curiosity as to his recent visitors, anyone could come by! And he didn’t want them seeing him practicing basic sword forms like someone who’d never held a sword before.

Since that was exactly what he planned to be doing.

After breakfast of course.

Suddenly had an idea for elitadream’s Body Swap au that merges the twin bond concept where the brothers can feel/sense the other’s physical pain. Even though Bowser can’t feel anything while he’s in Mario’s body, Luigi definitely can.

More Shang Twins because I think a nervous wreck running Mobei's entire Kingdom while accompanied by his wild ass twin brother would be fun

Welcome to the Grandmaster hotel! Part 3

Drawing hats is hard.

Next lore things will mostly be text with one or two illustrations because drawing this much took way longer then I expected.

I will still make a few comics here and there, just for the next two or three au posts will be text.

Or maybe I'll make sprites and see how that works, idk.

His name is Cinnamon Pudding by tge wayy. He looked like Latte (Wizard and Cream puffs mom) when he was little. Long ass hair too. He cuts it to be super short when he’s like 10 or 11.
