#honestly i do think he'd like looking old and craggy even if he resolved all the. issues

[skunkes]

i need to refine talon's Recently Fed form (bc i do want to nail him being rounder and looking younger than he "is", but still Like Himself, and i feel like that's been varying a lot every time ive drawn that version of him lately) but i dont rly feel like drawing him young often...he deserves to look and be old

#talkys #''over 400 yrs old but looks really really young'' trope but with added ''he has an old form? why would i bother with anything else then'' #honestly i do think he'd like looking old and craggy even if he resolved all the. issues #i cant imagine a scenario where he heals and is like ok back to looking super young forever ykwim #even if the way he goes about looking and being older is harmful to him atm #its an easy fix since he really could just feed more often and shapeshift himself back to the way he wants to look #but i know it Feels different to him since starving himself to look old also makes him Feel old #in the body...ykwim #i cant tell yet if its part of the punishment or him feeling more Human about it #maybe both but punishment and safety go hand in hand currently due to the trauma so he cant think about it being anything else #either way i have to navigate the whole thing carefully ! #oc text #<- for the tags
