IT WAS ERIC AFTER ALL!!!! I'm so glad we got to meet him (before Vil snaps him away with those Infinity Gauntlets) (can't wait to see what happens when we get the matching Infinity Tiara to go with them, there will be no survivors)

(sorry to be so slow/rough lately, just got a lot of stuff on the ol' brain at the moment! alas, if only I could spend all my time drawing incredibly stupid characters I mean I do but)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #tapis rouge #i know these are not my best but by god i needed to draw ~daddo venue~#he is a treat! can't wait for him to yell at us for screwing up a shoot or whatever the last-minute disaster will be #i am SO HAPPY it turned out to be about movies after all! ...i mean sort of anyway #i'll take what i can get (and i do enjoy twst trying to be all cute about snow whAHEM i mean beautiful queen) (i see you there twst)#(also to be fair it actually wasn't poisoned in historial-revisionism-twstland so i think we can trust this apple. a+ acting eric)#anyway we are still. very solidly in the 'stand around and talk about the wallpaper for three hours' part of the event.#but HEY we got to meet eric! i was not really expecting it to be him so i am VERY pleased #also god help me i did think the shopping montage as portrayed by a rhythmic where they literally SKIP down the street was hilarious #there's a lot of Choices that were made in this event and that was a good one

The prince and his Physician. A role-reversal au based on a dream I had that I wanted to draw something for. More ramblings under the cut

In this au, there is a kingdom of men where the briar valley once stood. Silver, the heir to this kingdom, has been the only member of the royal family for centuries, the result of a curse that causes him to die before he's old enough to ascend to the throne and reincarnate days after his passing. Silver's immortality was once a symbols for the kingdom's permanence, but the repeated death of their monarch every two decades or so has left the citizens with perpetual, generational sorrow with seemingly no solution as no one besides Silver was alive when the curse was placed.

A few centuries after Silver was born and it was believed the last full-blooded fae in briar valley had either abandoned the land or died, a draconian fae child is found in the brambles. This fae, given the name Malleus, was brought to the kingdom at the request if the prince and raised as part of the royal court with the express purpose of becoming the royal physician/chemist. It is believed that Silver's curse, as everlasting as it seems, was placed on him by a fae with extreme magical prowess and if anyone has a chance of breaking it, it's another fae. The kingdom believes that Malleus will be able to break the death curse and allow Silver to become their immortal king.

However, Silver has other plans for his chemist. From an early age, Silver requested that Malleus use his talents to find a different kind of solution to his curse that he can never tell anyone. He wants Malleus to find a way to stop his reincarnations entirely and let him unburden his people with the monarchy. Whether to fulfill the request of the kingdom he calls home, or the prince that took him in is in Malleus' hands.

#twisted wonderland #malleus draconia #silver vanrouge #fanart #my art #illustration #fantasy #listen im not saying this idea is GOOD not at all its kinda dumb. but thinking about malleus and silver and who is actually protecting who #this idea kinda plays offa that thought. theyre in service to eachother theyre bonded theyre dedicated and invested in eachothers wellbeing #choosing to weave their lives together despite the entanglements of their histories they WANT to be bonded #brothers but not exactly its its FRATERNAL it is woven theyre best friends but not #oh its just too complex to put to words goodbye forever #prince and physician au

Legitimately can't explain what caused me to get just get really into this hetaliaAU that exists solely in my brain but I couldn't stop

At first it was just imagining like a Japanese woman in kimono in like 19th century New York and then I started thinking about how amazing fem japan is and like then ameripan came in and now I'm like losing it

#amepan #ameripan #nyo japan #hws japan #hws america #hetalia #hetalia fanart #historical hetalia #my art #no one gets nyo japan like me (i hate “canon” nyo japan and will rebuild her to be a complex character)#i did start thinking about how epic nyo japan would be when learning that like super pre history japan #like women were religious and social leaders #theres also that one chinese record of the kingdom of wei #which to be clear historical accuracy of thst is unclear but it does seem to link to modern day japan #and in the record its like “the people here saw male rulers were causing problems so now only women rule” and theres princess himiko #ANYWAY i could talk about my decisions on why i think japan depicted as a woman is best but i wont here #also its embarrassing posting hetalia on my main #it ferls like i need a secret account #suggestive cw

had the thought of machete with sopping wet neck fluff that wouldn't leave my head

HAH oh no, the sopping wet dog lad. In a bubble bath. In a dusty rose pink bathtub no less ;_;

The expression is so good, he's just zoned out. Is he having a tiny existential crisis or just relaxing? Who can say.

I'm loving the soft dusk/dawn lighting, it looks so warm and atmospheric. And the way it passes through his ears and makes them glow is just *chef's kiss*.

#I actually drew something similar last month but nevee got around to finishing it let me see if I can do it tomorrow #as expected nerfing the neck fluff doesn't do him any favors but then again very few creatures look their best wet #gift art #Machete #answered #aggiepython #I was reading about the history of bathing and cleanliness just earlier today #did you know Napoleon loved bathing apparently he would spend up to six hours in the tub #especially when his war efforts weren't going according to plan #the guy would just sit and brood there in his lavender scented soup I thought you should know
