She’s been away five days and will be away two more.
He sneezes again, curses under his breath about it and gazes out the window for an uncertain time. It’s raining still, and bitterly cold. The flowers she’d left on the sill are starting to fade. Wintry sleet falls steadily, constantly, and he has a thousand things he’s supposed to do and he’s not doing a damn one of them, his focus both scattered and singular as he claims a tissue from the box by the flowers.
He wipes his nose firmly and recalls her placing the bouquet just so, fresh and vibrant, smiling at him so pleased with her arrangement of it all, her arms around him in soft devoted embrace. The ghost of her touch caresses him in memory; the image brings a suffusing warmth, and he loses himself to its comforting spectre.
For a moment, at least.
He sniffles, chilled despite the hearthfire’s radiant heat, and an ominous shiver runs through him. A catch in his throat follows, barbed and wicked. He frowns at it, shakes his head in an irritated, unspoken refutation of what it might imply. Any further acknowledgement of coming down with something is pushed as firmly from his thoughts as he can; he can’t be sick. It’s not going to…
Hh-HH…
It’s not… *snf!* Not going to happen. He won’t allow it. He won’t… *SNF!* It’s not…
His breath sharpcatches and all thoughts crumble capitulated to urgent, desperate sensation.
“HHTSSCH-uu! Hh-TSSSCH-uu! Ah, gods.” With a wetly insistent series of sniffles, he takes yet another tissue and, after a moment of consideration, another for good measure. Another.
Tinker: W-w-wait! Where are you going?
Kia: 'Just taking a look around.
Tinker: But I haven't properly Moored this thing yet!
Kia: 👋 I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Inspiration: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
Fun fact: Tinker's goggles are made of the undersides of 2 strawberry jam jars. One of the lids is used to secure the sail! The sail itself is also made out of an old bed sheet.
Fanart of the beautiful Dr. Lockhart for @xsunnysoftx !!
Absolutely ADORE this silly skeleton man I had to draw him too 💗 Every drawing you make of him literally makes my heart melt 😭
(Somethings feels off with the way I drew his face but I am choosing to ignore it lol) Also messed around with the lighting a little bit, not sure how I feel about it XD

HELLO.
it's been rough trying to think of a design for nightmare, so i plan to scrap this specific body type (for now)
i'm gonna start over when i find decent inspiration and references
but since they look fairly decent you can all have them <:]
my main issue has been the hair and how to properly implement the tentacles in a way that works smoothly for a pony design but still feel like nm
everything else (the palette and the cutie mark) im fairly happy with, so i might reuse them
his main design inspirations (for now) is nightmare rarity and chrysalis!
any suggestions or direct doodles you can suggest would be EPIC his mane is so fucking hard to figure out
