so a real throwback for this blog, but i was cleaning up my art folder and found this little relic of my homestuck days tucked away in a forgotten subfolder. @callmearcturus i know youre working on other things these days but Chamomile, rose water, and other unlikely intoxicants was deeply influential to me back in the day, and i still reread it from time to time, so i figured that since this was basically finished, i might as well set it free into the world.

#homestuck #dirkjake #dirk strider #Jake English #OOF those tags take me back #chamomile rose water and other unlikely intoxicants #archie if you had a specific tag for that fic forgive me but i cannot for the life of me recall it #also when i say throwback i mean THROW. BACK. this is back when i still drew with LINEART #i checked the date on the fic and it's from 2017! its been 5 years can yall believe that??? #also im at a complete loss as to why and how i managed to essentially finish this piece and then not only drop it #but Completely Forget about it for literally 5 whole years i legit have no idea how or why that happened lol #ngl if i didnt like the background and colours so much i might just have held on to this forever bc this is NOT my artstyle anymore #and my inner critic is pirouetting off the gd handle at everything i would do differently if i tried this today #however! we wont be listening to her bc back when i made this i recall being very proud of it; and i still really love this scene in the fic #which is what this is ultimately for! this was made to express my love for a fic i loved then and still love now #& im not gonna deprive one of my fave authors of the gift of fic-art just bc my brain automatically interprets all my old art as 'cringe' #anyways sorry for the rambling tags its very late & im a little loopy from sleep deprivation but archie i love your fic & hope you like this #daria draws #callmearcturus
