pick a pile: how does this new love feel like a fairytale? ⛓️💗

this is a general reading so take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Interpret & choose based on your inner guidance and gut feeling. messages can be either from you, them or both🍒

𓆩♱𓆪Pile one

right off the bat this is someone whose been eyeing you for a while. they could be the type that stare in awe at the pictures you post on social media “so pretty” or when they met you that have that immediate attraction.. “who is that?” lol them asking their friends when you walk in. this honestly feels like a fairytale because theyve been wanting you for a while but theyve been super patient i heard “no hard feelings” theyre actually so sweet (im getting water sign suns: cancer, pisces, scorpio energy oop 🙈).

like they have no problem admiring you from afar at alllll. they are mesmerized by you. and honestly they could have been a little toxic before meeting you (not abusive, but someone unable to share their emotions in a healthy way). it seems like they dont want u to see them in the shades and shadows of their trauma, wounds, healing. for them you are the light at the end of that tunnel. i heard “my day was pretty shitty until you showed up” they are willing to work hard for you. they are also very attractive & in an unconventional way (unique hair, being really tall, tattoos, something like that makes them stand out especially in their friend group).

💌letter from their pov;

I know you dont need me. you dont really look like the type to depend on anyone. I can see it in the way you eye people, especially men, with suspicion. you question my motives and thats fair. when youre that beautiful and charming, theres bound to be people that just want to use you. that are dying to be in you energy just to get the chance to say they were in your presence. i dont wanna be like that. i dont wanna be another read message in your phone. i dont wanna be another face that disappears in the crowd for you. and i know you feel that way too. that the worst thing for you isnt to be talked about. its to be ignored. its to be underestimated. trust me when i say since the moment i laid eyes on you, i never once doubted you. i know you are capable of bringing men to their knees with your eyes. i know that your laugh makes my pulse speed up. i know that you make me feel special. and sometimes i get jealous, wondering if you make other people feel that way too. I want to give you the whole world if you just let me.

𓆩♱𓆪Pile two

this new love feels like a fairytale because this happened in the moment when you’re least expecting it and also after you’re recovering from something. Whether it be a relationship break up with a partner or you just changing things in your life, like moving to a different neighborhood or no longer believing in certain things that were very important in your belief systems in the past. this is like a prince or princess, waiting to rescue you. At first, though it seems like you’re suspicious of this energy. You could find that they are way too good with their words. “too good to be true” “I bet you say that to all the girls/guys” energy. but honestly, it seems like you’re the only one that can keep up with them. You don’t give into them like other people do, and they constantly want to impress you by telling you random facts or teaching you about some thing they learned abroad or when traveling.

I am getting a sense that they are very flirty, but with other people it never goes past that it’s just something they do in the moment or theyre just really playful. But even as they’re talking to someone else, their eyes can’t seem to leave you even if you’re across the room. You like your routine and consistency so changing things about your own life is hard, much less accepting other people in. So when they flirt with you, you might not immediately flirt back. you might roll your eyes, but you can’t help but smile when they turn away. you could be someone with earth placements, especially capricorn or virgo. They give off a lot of mischievous energy. This other person could have a gemini placement, third house placements or ninth house placements (if ur into astro).

💌letter from their pov;

Relationships have never really been a priority for me. I mean, cmon I'm young. Isn't it the whole point to experience as much as I can? I know other people have things to say about me.. maybe I lead some people on. Maybe sometimes you feel that way too. But I promise it's not really like that. Well, with you, it isn't. I'm just inexperienced. And I guess that doesn't really stop me from flirting so much and being so cocky…But the truth is I crave your attention badly. You look like you really know what you want in life. And for me, that's all I ever wanted. Because when you know what you want, you get it. and thats when you really start living. After that, even our mistakes are our own and beautiful and intimate in their own way. I see the weariness in your eyes when you look at me. I know you're wondering if I am even worth your time. I promise I am. I promise I can be. And if I'm not, then you can just never speak to me right then and there, I swear. But I know there's more than weariness in your gaze as well. I know you are just as curious about me as I am about you.

𓆩♱𓆪Pile three

This love feels like a dark romance. This pile is not as lighthearted as the previous two at all. It feels like a fairytale in that "magical" sense though because it will feel like love at first sight. You both will feel immediately physically attracted to the other but what makes it even more intense is that at first no one seems to be able to make the first move. It might seem too good to be true to the point where you don't even wanna disturb the "illusion." You dont wanna burst the bubble. Also, the magnetic attraction you feel/ that slow burn makes it even more desirable for both of you. In synastry, you both might have a lot of conjunctions (especially with pluto, moon, and mars). I also pulled north node synastry as well (and this synastry makes it feel like you're meant to be aka its destiny. but its also uncomfortable). "I have never felt like this before" energy.

Honestly, I see this pile as being able to go both ways and it can easily make you feel heartbroken. You might have venus-pluto placements yourself or 8th house placements or they do. When you are together though, you both hate when other people interrupt. You love your alone time. It feels really good. This pile is all about intense eye contact, glancing down at each others lips, meeting in secret, getting jealous when other people try to talk to the other, hands brushing as you walk but never fully touching. But then devouring each other when alone (if you both end up trusting each other when to get there because, again, one of you or both are hesitating). If you open your heart and learn to trust and communicate in a healthy manner, it could be a life changing connection.

💌letter from their pov;

It feels wrong to fantasize about you the way I do. But I can't really help it. I think about the way your back would feel arched under my palm. your lips on mine, tongues meeting, teeth clashing. I look at your hands and imagine them gripping the sheets at the same time I grip your thighs. It feels wrong that these are things that have crossed my mind since I first met you. sometimes I try to lie to myself. Tell myself that maybe im not really that into you. but its such bullshit. even then, theres the what if. what if. what if. it looks like every odds are against us. we are complete opposites. it might never work. but im willing to take that risk. im willing to bet on us. even if it falls apart. but judging from the way you freeze up when we make eye contact I know its far beyond that. I know you felt it too. the day we met, how you paused. i know that we would love hard. and fall harder. and if it doesnt work out, it would be devastating. and yet, i would still decide to do it all over again. and you would too. life is too short. I dont want us to be a what-if.

If you have time and you're in the mood to write a lil blurb I have a thought. Steve getting used to bugs affection, now that Jonathan and Nancy are together she can't really be as touchy as she used to and she's subconsciously started to give that affection to Steve. He'd be star struck, remember how he was about their first hug? Or finding out about bug never being kissed? He'd lose his mind.

this blurb request is DELICIOUS !!! been itchin to write her <3

enjoy !

"i'll be back in a sec!" you press a quick kiss to steves cheek before you run off towards your room to retrieve whatever youre looking for. steve doenst really know. he hadnt been listening. he had been too busy admiring the way you look in the cardigan he bought you.

its all you wear now these days.

the sight makes something warm seep into steves bones, and your kiss to his cheek ignites the warmth into a steady, smooth burn.

youve been doing this a lot more lately. the kisses to cheeks, hands intertwining fingers, fingers intertwining through hair, and breaths against his ear as you lay against him.

its intoxicating, really.

when you return, now holding a comic in your hands, steve remembers now that you wanted to show him a new spider-man suit. your arm loops through his as you sit next to him on the couch and you sit so close to him that your thighs press against his and the heat makes him dizzy. "see, look! im not sure if i like the new red, honestly."

you hook your chin over steves shoulder as you hold the comic over his lap and steve struggles to stay focused. he looks down at the panel youre pointing at and swallows. "y-yeah. its, uh. its definitely a different shade."

steve cant see any difference.

hes not even sure if he knows what red is right now because your perfume is all around him and your body heat seeps from your skin into his and your soft hair grazes his face.

its torture. its a hell so sweet that steve wonders why sinners are sent there in the first place.

"youre looking at the wrong panel, honey." you tease, nudging your nose against steves cheek as you giggle.

honey.

"how do you know i wasnt looking at the right one?" steve tries to find his voice again, but hes scared that if he turns to look into your eyes, the proximity of your lips close to his will only end in disaster.

(an addicting, all encompassing disaster that steve has dreamed about).

you nudge your nose against his cheek again and move even closer to him. youre practically in his lap, and yet you still dont feel close enough. "your pretty brown eyes gave you away."

youre everywhere and yet nowhere close to where steve wants you to be.

he isnt sure when it happened, but your physical touch has become such a constant in steves life, and he clings to it like a lifeline. hes never had someone openly show this much affection to him, hes never had a pretty girl hold his hand just because she wanted to. hes never had someone kiss his cheek as a goodbye and as a gentle command to stay safe while apart.

"you think my eyes are pretty?" steve cant think of anything else to say. hes still too scared to face you. he can practically smell the strawberry lip balm you like to wear, this close to your lips.

"mhm," you move your face and rest your head against steves shoulder now, and he practically sags with relief at the distance yet fills with immediately regret after. he already misses the way your nose fits perfectly between his jawline and ear. "a very pretty brown, warm in the sun like honey."

you say things that make steve want to kiss you breathless.

"youre extra affectionate today, angel."

"its winter and im cold and youre cozy." you say. lazily flicking through more of your comic.

steve laughs and throws an arm over you to pull you closer. the heat from earlier has lessened. the fire simmers back down to the familiar warmth, one hes more comfortable with, and he feels like he can breathe again. then, because he can, he presses a kiss to the top of your head, which you hum at. "who can argue with that logic?"

"no one, and thats why im always right."

"atta girl."

steve is still getting used to this, and yet he feels like hes done this his entire life.

#ask #anon #m speaks #m's writing #come home blurb #set in between seasons 2 and 3 !#theyre so in love #cant believe it takes steve like six months after this night to ask bug out LMAO

m thinkin abt the “blunt vs flowery” language thing and…… in the year of our lord 2023, i don't even want to imagine how far back we'd have to go in genshins timeline until we see ‘hey shawty' written on a cave wall-

you try to be better about it, sometimes, using only the fanciest words and the most floral of tones, but all you ever succeed in doing is giving zhongli flashbacks to the archon war-

in the same vein: modern humor. would literally make them think "is this some sort of divine joke im too mortal to understand?" except even the archons need to cite sources on why a piece of bread falling over would be funny- maybe you slip sometimes, but you only ever get halfway through like “i’m neurodivergent and a minor” before you realize they don’t know what that means— “what if i had blue hair and pronouns” but they’re just sitting there like… doesn’t everybody have pronouns….? and kaeya has blue hair- are you implying he’s divine? what about chongyun?? xingqiu??????

anyway um. this is me bringing up my unfortunate (but very funny) habit of saying “i’ll boil you like soup” whenever i’m mildly inconvenienced and hoping it triggers Thoughts about the casual/slang threats we make and how they cope

sorry if this reads incoherently it’s 1am for me rn— also i’m debating becoming a regular anon here, are your applications open? 👉👈

SORRY IF I RAN U OFF BY NOT REPLYING QUICKLY!! BUT I’D LOVE TO HAVE LABELLED ANONS! I’ve already added some taken name I could see in my mailbox so check the pinned post and choose whatever isn’t taken! phrase or emoji, etc.! :)

this isnt super long bc ur stuff seemed chill on its own/idk what I could add! So I just focused on one aspect

gif is literally everyone reacting to you trying to speak “flowery” like them lol

ALSO u guys probably dont remember bc I took so long but I’m still writing/going to post that Blunt Lang. AU Fanfic One-Shot! so here’s some quick headcanons ill add on ive got anon!!

No TWs/Content Warnings. SFW.

so this was gonna be chill but-

BESDIES RANDOM SHIT LIKE MEME REFERENCES

THAT WONT MAKE SENSE TO THEM BC INHERENT INTERNET/DIGITAL UNDERSTANDING NEEDED

WHAT IF ALL UR JOKES OR REFERENCES ARE QUITE LITERALLY, ANCIENT??

like anon said about even the archons having to pull out sources/cite your stuff to understand it, like finding really old tablets/scrolls/carved wall words 😭

u giving Zhongli a history lesson/brush up LMAO

If ur annoyed at them u just need to make more jokes, leave em scrambling for their pocket notes LOL

I like to think since you sound the OLDEST

that the ancient shit like Phanes/Four Shades/Seven Sovereigns are the closest in speech

(look theyre all alive and shit for my genshin, goddamit i still gotta tell u guys abt my genshin fill-in lore au)

and they’re closer to the “beginning of history” in teyvat so theyd get more references

theyd literally understand u the best and they like, all in the Abyss or like deep in Teyvat,

so u just casually strolling up to Azdaha’s place instead like

“How’s your day been Azhy?”

“Same as the days many before, my lord. How are thee?”

“Good enough, hey, why don’t I bring some food from my old world by that I’ve made for you to try out? Something new, y’know?”

camera pan left to see Zhongli looking up, then back down as he scribbles notes trying to better understand, Xiao has crossed his arms and is squinting, Ganyu is behind Zhongli and is trying to peek over his shoulder, Cloud Retainer and other adepti have like hidden nearby to overhear lol

♤

FLASHBACKS FOR ZHONGLI-

HE’S OVER HERE LIKE

“Please do not disturb your countenance my Wànsuìyé, the vernacular is pleasant to mine ears and sufficient for speech.”

“I shall, uh, try my best Zhongli, thought I know ye have- wait- thy have? Whatever, accepted it, I shall keep attempting to better match thee!”

HIS FACE-

He’s literally just → 😰😣💀

(flashback to at least 1 really ancient/old god he had to fight for his life against, they were the hardest battle he’s ever faced, and Azhdaha was helping him by that point too, so it wasn’t even like he won alone… rip zhongli got ptsd)

He keeps trying to subtly stop you from practicing it, he also desperately discourages others from helping you 😭

(Zhongli was about to be called Rex Lapis again when Venti was trying to get on his last nerve by constantly encouraging you to speak fancier, but in the incorrect way, at dinner with them one time)

Like that last content with them pretending not to kow each other but 5x the tension and Venti is fooling around even more so than usual lol

THANKS FOR SENDING IN YOUR IDEAS!! I FUCKING LOVE HEARING OTHER PPLS BRAINROTS OVER STUFF!! AND SORRY AGAIN IT TOOK FOREVER!! ITS BEEN A ROUGH YEAR OF UNI FOR ME/IM GRADUATING!! <333 TYSM ANON!!

Safe Travels,

💀 ♒

EVERYBODY shut the fuck up. coffee shop barista au. soap is a barista and this one guy comes in at the same time on the dot every day and orders the same thing every time. (its straight black coffee with so much added caffeine that soap thinks it could kill a horse.) the man is like, 6′4″ and built like a brick house. soap is a pretty big guy himself, but god does he makes him look tiny.

his hair is blond, light enough that in some lighting it looks nearly silver. it seems to be a mess constantly- wavy locks that curl around the tips of his ears, fringe just long enough to partially cover one of his eyes. just long enough that someone could reach up and tuck it behind his ear. and soap wants to, if not just to get to feel his hair- it looks so fucking soft and smooth and soap wonders what his hair care routine is. (because surely you cant get hair that good without putting work into it, right?)

his upper face is littered with scars; over the bridge of his nose, across his cheeks, under his eye. theres probably more, but anytime he shows up he has a face mask on, one with some dumb skeleton design on it that would probably look stupid on anyone else, but somehow he makes it work.

and his eyes- god, his eyes. his left eye is a brilliant shade of blue with a shock of green at the bottom, something soap has never seen before. the two colors seem to clash and meld together all at once, an enchanting phenomenon that soap wants to study. his right eye is a deep, gorgeous chocolate brown, swirled with a lighter caramel tone that brightens his eye but makes his gaze no less intense. anytime he locks eyes with soap, he loses his breath- hes never seen someone so fucking beautiful in his entire life.

his voice is low and gravelly, a deep, accented rumble that soap swears to god he can feel in his bones. the man doesnt mince his words, but every time he does speak soap can feel himself shiver. he hopes it isnt visible.

the only name he gives for his order is ghost. that isnt enough for soap. he wants his first name- his real name, a name he can place to the beautiful face that lurks in his mind. (and in his sketchbooks.)

so he tries to pry it out of the man. he offers his own name first, john mactavish, but ghost doesnt give him his own name, instead opting nod and hum. he takes to calling soap ‘johnny’, something that soap has notably refused to let anyone call him, no matter how close they are. he allows ghost to call him it, finding the heat it spreads through his body pleasant and welcoming it. gaz, his fellow barista, is disgruntled when he finds out that soap is letting someone call him johnny when he was firmly denied the permission to do so himself.

every day soap asks for a name for the coffee, hoping that one day he’ll slip and tell him, but he never does. its always ghost, you know this, johnny. he keeps trying despite the ineffectiveness.

sometimes he throws out guesses. over time they get increasingly ridiculous, trying to get a huff or a snort out of the man when he looks at his cup. whatever name he chooses is accompanied by some shitty dad joke- one time ghost had told one that was god awful, but soap could see the glee in his eyes when he groaned and complained. he sees ghost look at the writing everytime he hands over the drink, and he adores the amusement he sees dancing in his gaze at the jokes, so he keeps it up.

their banter shifts from friendly teasing to flirting constantly- oftentimes mid-conversation. sometimes its soap who does it, (”the maaask... take it off?” “show my face?” “yes.” “no.” “are you ugly?” “quite the opposite.” “i doubt that.”) and other times its ghost. (”you like tequila?” “could use one right about now.” “id murder for a whiskey.” “you mean scotch?” “i drink bourbon.” “like a good ol’ boy...” “... i love kentucky.” “yer out o’ yer mind, ghost.” “thats for sure.”)

(gaz is this fucking close to complaining to price about the sexual tension around them. if he has to deal with soap making eyes at this customer for one more fucking minute he thinks hes going to snap.)

#myposting #mydrabbles #soaptag #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #ghostsoap #soapghost #ghost x soap #soap x ghost #ghost/soap #soap/ghost #ghoap #cod mw2 #call of duty modern warfare 2 #btw ghost doesnt even like coffee that much he just really liked the look on soaps face when he first ordered some #overly caffeinated beverage so he kept doing it and its too late to change his order now #he was just really tired that day so he got the coffee. soap made a cute face and ghost decided he wanted to see it again so he came back #the next day and ordered it again #feel free to expand on this or anything bc i ran out of ideas

ngl im not like, lineless art specialist, honestly i went lineless fairly recently (like lets say may 2023 when i started drawing art for homestuck), before that i was making art with lineart only, so take my process with a grain of salt lmfao but i hope it clears out some things!

lets dissect the recent dirkkri art ive made:

i start out with sketch, as you usually do. depending on how im feeling or how complex the pose/background is, i make it more or less detailed. for more basic poses i might even stick to a simple gesture drawing and go straight into laying out the colors, it really varies a lot. it might even change in the further process, like how i moved dirks shades from his head to be sticking out slightly from behind his arm, clipped to his shirt, because i didnt like how busy the area around the faces looked

one advice i can give is to not spend too much time on the sketch. its job is to guide the laying out of flat colors and thats it! dont make it too fancy, dont get lost in the details - you can add those later on when youre doing the flats. its fine if the sketch is messy, youll fix it in later stages of the process!

next i do the flat colors! i tackle it one thing at a time - for example with dirks head i started on separate layers with the general shape of his face, then added his facial features, then i drew the hair, then added his neck, the crown, and lastly his piercings. i then merged them all together - you dont need to leave it all separate, best way is to group things together and merge so you dont get lost with all the layers (like how kankris arm on the front is one layer including his sweater sleeve and his hand).

i highly recommend naming your layers - im a little on and off with it myself, but seriously it makes your life easier later on when you spot a mistake and have to shuffle through bazilion layers to find it lmfao, especially when your drawing includes multiple things that overlay on top of each other like in this example. dont be like me and take a second to name them asksks

next to the rendering! i sometimes completely ditch this one, just leaving the flats as they are, but when i want a drawing to have more oomph i have some more steps to the process. its pretty simple - shadow, gradient map and highlight layer on clipping masks connected to the flats. in this one i used light gray for shadows (first layer to generally darken the drawing, second for defining shadows). same with highlights - one color.

the real star of the show is the gradient map, seriously, its a goddamn miracle worker. in krita you can add one by clicking on the plus sign to add a new layer and choose "add filter layer", then in the menu open the "map" category and here should be the option of adding gradient map. you can do it on your flats, but its destructive, and on a separate layer you can always change it if you dont like it later on. mess with the colors and tadah! it now looks fancy as shit and makes people think you know color theory!

last but not least you can add some bleeding light on a separate layer that isnt clipped to the flats to give it more dreamy appearence! i also added an example of how my layers looked in a group at the end of the drawing process.

and thats it! hope it helps, and have fun drawing!

#ask #drawing process #lineless art #art tips #art process #digital art #hope its at least somehow understandable im really sleepy rn #god i hope i didnt make any spelling mistakes LMFAO #artists on tumblr

Hi!! Hope you’re having a good day so far! I love this asexual!reader x jjk series. Every one of them has been fire!! Could you do asexual!black!reader x Choso perchance pls if you’ve got the time? Anything fluffy or maybe even a meet-cute. Would love to hear your thoughts/drabble. Thank you for all the works so far!!!! 💫

Girl dont make me cry! Also sorry this took 150years and its not my best work so if you want another one let me know😭😭

Drabbles to headcannon ft. Choso kamo

Sketching out the park in the yard of the apartment conplex you live in you sigh frustratedly tearing yet another page out the book.

“You must like trees” a tiny voice says next to you and you notice its one of your neighbors the energetic little boy with pink hair who youve swear youve seen kick through concrete.

“I just cant find the right color” you pout and his eyes widen at all the color pencils you have.

“My brothers good at coloring, he stays in the lines real good. We can ask him” he grins looking behind you and you see a stressed looking man nearly running toward you. His eyes soften when he sees you.

“Cho! She needs help coloring” the tiny boy beams unphased by his brothers distressed state.

Theres large amounts of cursed energy coming from you but you dont seem to be a threat.

“Yuji what did i tell you about running off” he huffs out his robes moving as swiftly as he does. Yujis eyes get watery and his bottom lip trembles.

“But oni-chan” he whines and chosos face instantly softens and you think the soft spot he has for his little brother is adoreable. He somehow convinces his brother to color your trees and you notice he isnt half bad.

“Your struggling because your using one shade of red for the leaves when it should be three to capture how they fade into brown” he points out which you arent too happy to receive.

What? Youre an artist and youre sensitive about your work. You make an excuse to leave shortly after and head back to your apartment.

A few days later you hear a soft knock on your door and to your suprise find Choso and little yuji who smiles brightly at you.

“Oni-chann bought you colored pencils! Its the expensive ones” yuji beams excitedly holding up the gift bag and Choso jaw drops looking at his brother.

“Actually he seen a coloring book he wanted to get you…and i noticed i may have offended you the other night so its a peace offering” he speaks and you notice the marking on his nose you want to ask questions but it’s rude.

Your living room had been transformed into a art studio with paintings, paint, blank canvases pencils and loose sketches floating around and Yuji can help his self as he runs in looking over each piece. Choso is ready to apologize but you instead walk over to yuji explaining all the different artworks and hes shocked at the way he holds onto every word you say.

Its something about the way youre so good with yuji that makes something in him stir not sexual but its like he’s seeing you for the first time.

Yuji comes over every day after school… which means Choso comes over every day.

You start learning how he’s basically good at every thing cooking, drawing, playing instruments, origamii, baking, it actually pissed you off sometimes it was becoming a game of “anything you can do i can do better and make yours look useless” And you were losing.

It’s when he begins coming over without yuji that you enjoy spending time with him and you notice he’s alot more relaxed the pressure to be the best is gone.

He’s only trying to be the best to impress his little brother.

He enjoys doing little things to make life easier for you, taking out the trash, helping with dishes even keeps your company on wash day. It’s the day he collapses from exhaustion on your couch that you realizes he’s such a people pleaser for people he cares about.

And touch deprived. He falls apart when you place a hand on his forehead dark eyes void of anything just enjoying your proximity.

His favorite place is your lap where he lays his head and closes his eyes as you massage his scalp running your fingers through it, his 2 signature buns long gone.

It’s when you hear his soft snores that you turn down the t.v and set an alarm for when you have to get Yuji from school.

Choso never pressures you into anything sexual or even talks about it, why?

Hes our asexual king!

He’s happy with the quality time and returned acts of service the two of you give another. He gets his fill from watching you and yuji interact. He gets his fill when you see the tiredness in his baggy eyes and pat your lap for him to lay down.

He gets his fill when you ramble about your day and coworkers and the latest telfar Bag drop. He LOVESSSS going to the hair supply store and when you let him smell the hair products.

He knows better than to use it because he looked up hair type when you went on a rant about your hair having 2 different hair types.

He closed the window when it began talking about weave because you said you didn’t wear that and that yes your hair grew 36 inches over night and changed texture (you still giggle to yourself about it because he was either so gullible or too polite to ask)

Purposely leaves his hair ties so he has a reason to come back, though between Yuji and his great cooking skills he was always welcomed.

Do you have any tips on how you do shading ?? Your art really inspires me and I literally suck at shading lmao.

hello anon!!! im honoured i can inspire you sdfhkjh it's crazy to me that i can inspire literally anyone :,DDD <33

tbh i do all my shading purely based on vibes/what makes me happy so im not sure im a good advice person but ill show you a breakdown of how i go about shading and hopefully that might help a bit? :o i've left it below the cut because i have too much to say and it ended up being really long LOL

of course if there's anything you want more details on i'm always happy to explain, just let me know!

okay SO ill use this asmo as my example, i think there's enough to talk about here that it should be helpful hopefully

so here's my lineart and flats! i do all my flat colours in one layer because i find it easier to make everything look more cohesive when the pieces arent separated (i usually like it when the colours bleed into each other a lil), but i also just dont like the process of having to switch between layers for everything too LOL flats are unfortunately my least favourite part :,D probably because my lineart is so messy hahah

as you can see, the shading is very minimal here, just some subtle stuff in the wings/sheer parts of the fabric and some blushing on the skin, i also stole the orange under eye/liner thing from TBHK because <3

and then i clean up any messy stuff by just painting over top of everything on a new layer, i also rendered the metal at this stage because i felt like it i guess???

i dont think i did a suuper good job at rendering the metal here (because i was lazy), it looks fine but something to note about metal is that usually you want to push the highlights and the shadows a lot more, as well as the reflections because it is so shiny and smooth this is why you'll see a lot of pink and blue in the metal, to show the reflections of his hair and the sky

i would recommend using reference to get a better idea of how metal ACTUALLY works but again, i was lazy lol so that's a simple explanation based on what little i know/have observed

the jump here is a bit drastic and you might be like woah starr where'd all this come from?? but this is all in one layer-

('hard light' - 62% opacity)

this is how that layer looks as a normal full opacity layer, for reference:

lately i've been using hard light layers to shade! they're very versatile because unlike multiply layers i can do my shading and my highlights within one layer (do you sense a theme of me disliking having too many layers lmao)

SO this is where i have a bit more to say about shading you'll notice the prominent shading colour here is blue, this is because the main environment here (the sky) is blue. i dont know if that's how things work in the real world but it works for me LMAO i usually prefer to have my shading lean cooler purely for aesthetic reasons, i like how it looks more

you might also notice some areas where the blue is a bit brighter, this is to imitate reflected light, again because the environment is blue light tends to bounce around on things and reflect back even into the shadows so this is the effect im trying to get, i like to typically go with a brighter blue cause it gives things a sort of shinier? quality that i enjoy aesthetically, idk if its very accurate to real life tho it also helps me to give depth to the shading since shading isnt usually just one flat blob, and this is a bit of a shortcut to having more dynamic (?) looking shadows

i also want to point out my use of bright reds on the edge of the shadows:

i believe this is called diffraction- there's a real legit scientific reason why it happens but i... dont know what that is i just know it happens in real life (maybe not to this extent?) and it looks cool so i do it SFHJKSFH i usually blend it into the shadows though as opposed to into the lighter parts, i find that tends to look better

some miscellaneous things-

don't be afraid to throw random colours around!! who cares about realism, it's fun lmao

this artwork is a spoiler for asmo's bday so shhhhh but i did want to quickly show that you can also use hard light layers to create a glowy effect, i literally just painted the pink/orange directly on the shadows layer and it helped to make his eyes more glowy

of course i do go in and paint over a little after and add some layer effects but it helps to have that base there

now that you've learnt that i dont know what i'm doing, i wanted to highlight a couple of resources that have helped me! i hope they help you as well <3

this video gives some really interesting insights into this artist's process and some problems they had throughout, as well as how they overcame them! it looks a lil clickbaity but i promise it's good!!

this tweet also shifted how i think about rendering when i want to do something with dramatic lighting!

+ an attempt i made to replicate this (i wanna try this again lmao it was fun)

i hope that helps even a little bit, i did my best to explain but sorry if it was mostly nonsense though :,DDD best of luck with your art, anon!! <3333

So I had this genius idea of making a guide on how to draw your Casey (my particular style at least)

Step 1: Draw a rectangle. It's literally that easy.

Step 2. Draw a diagonal line that is longer than the rectangle above the head. If you're drawing him the size I am here, that's about 2 fingers above. If he's bigger, choose a size that looks right to you, there's no right way to do it.

Step 3: Add a straight (lol) line on the right side of the diagonal line and a slightly crooked line on the left side.

Step 4: Try your fucking hardest to draw wavy triangles at the bottom and connect them to the rectangle. Congrats, you just finished the second hardest part and most of his hair.

Step 5: This is optional, I personally don't do it, but you can erase the top part of the rectangle to help draw the bangs easier. Cause making the bangs easy to draw saves you a lot of screaming in agony over goddamn TRIANGLES.

Step 6: Ohoho GOOD LUCK WITH THIS ONE- Draw some more wavy triangles from hell as short or as long as you want. You want him to have some face? Cool. Nothing but a mouth? Also rad.

Step 7: Shade that fucker in and give yourself some positive reward cause you're almost done!

8: Draw teeny tiny lines at the bottom of the rectangle for his beard. Then make a half moon shape to start his smile (or whatever shape gives you the emotion you want him to have). Draw a thick line somewhere in that smile (I usually go directly in the middle or close to) and give the smile some pointiness at both ends. Don't forget to add a little shading up by his hair for his acne scars (I always add those cause me too, Casey)! You are now DONE (with my version of him at least!)!!

ALSO PLEASE GIVE CREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL CREATOR, @nerves-nebula , Casey is its, not mine!

If you couldn't tell, Nerves, your boy is my newest hyperfixation (he just like me fr), so thank you for creating him and bringing him to life! ❤️❤️❤️

oh pog. its kinda interesting seein how u do it lol. here's a gif of me drawin CASEY mAH BOY real quick :)

honestly mine isnt that different from yours, i also tend to start off with the hair slant & the bottom of the face.

Do you have any advice for drawing with markers? I'm trying to improve and wondering how you do it so well

alright yes i do. okay so markers are all about LAYERS of color. so here's some WIP's of a work i did recently we'll walk through some tips.

so step one here is the sketch. you'll want to get either a kneaded eraser or just be careful, and lightly erase over the entire image. this picks up loose graphite, and keeps your markers from smearing gray across the entire thing.

so i lay down a base layer. this isnt actually one marker though, its three. using the lightest marker, block out everywhere youre going to color. use circular motions or a brushtip if you can to avoid streaking like what's in this shot. then, if you have markers of very similar hues, begin darkening the picture where you need to. in this case, it was the ears and side of the nose.

remember: YOU CAN ALWAYS GO DARKER, YOU CANNOT GO LIGHTER.

i then went in to block in her makeup, the tulip, and darken some of the shadows. you can see specifically in the ears and neck that ive used the smaller tip of my chisel markers to slowly transition it from one marker to another. blending doesnt exist in markers. you just need to IMPLY a gradient. the flower is a good example as well. use multiple markers, and slowly make your way from one half of the gradient to the other.

a lot of what i can do is due to the fact i have so many markers. if you need large marker packs and cannot afford copics, try arrtx. that's what i used for the flower in this.

when i draw hair- something i know people want to know about a lot- i start with my lightest color, and sketch in the directions the hair is flowing. for stelle here, her bangs swoop down and to the right, so thats the direction i will lay down those colors. its like painting.

also in this, you can see how deep ive made the insides of her ears, and how ive used a dark gray to line her face and give it shape.

this shot is also a good example to show how i fucked up on her earrings, and since i cannot go lighter, theyre going to be tinted gray now. just something i forgot to keep in mind.

alright theres a lot to talk about in this one. firstly, let's talk about UNDERTONES. to give your piece more depth and life, you can go in with other colors besides your main shading color- in my case, gray- to make the piece pop. ive switched to a light purple, and have added it as a highlight to her cheeks, tips of her ears, and hair. it brings out her hair, and makes it seem fuller. less flat.

a lot of how i use markers is with curved strokes and many colors to sculpt out an image, rather than just filling in the lines. this is why i add line art last.

okay one step at a time with the finished picture.

first step here is line art. youll notice how i dont harshly outline every single part of the piece. instead, i lightly go around areas i think need defining. i outline her horn cuff, i outline her ears, her eyes, and then i loosely go around her hair with similar strokes to when i sketched it in the first place.

second step is a white gel pen. it can be a simple jelly roller theyre really cheap. just make sure it works. if your pen isnt rolling smoothly, try warming it up in your hands by rubbing it quickly between them. if not, try multiple pens before buying them. bring a piece of paper to your local michaels or hobby lobby or other craft store, and see if it rolls smoothly on YOUR paper. then, go around anywhere that needs a highlight. i did this over her eye markings, her makeup, tiny dots over her earrings, and over her hair to once again round it out.

my final tip is to adjust your pictures in some kind of editor once you are finished. i went in just using the basic iphone settings, and messed around with it until it matched what i wanted the pic to look like. in this case, i turn the highlights to the left, and played around with the temperature and tint settings, and messed around with their basic filters. honestly, just play with it until you think it looks good.

those are my tips for coloring! i hope this is comprehensible!!

Random creepypasta character hcs VOL. 3(?)

Lost count on these but yeah I wanna drop more headcannons!!!

Nina is genderfluid and uses any pronouns! They also wear binders every now and then + they wear pride jewelry

Also they dye their hair like. A few shades lighter because he likes how the roots look when they grow out!! Same note they dye their own hair!!

I'm sorry for really focusing on nina but I've been flashing my design for her; but she also wears fake fangs

Before eyeless jack became eyeless, he has heterochromia! One eye was brown and the other was more gold!

Obligatory "I hc that ej and nina would be friends" but they do each others nails and would help each other put together outfits

A majority of eyeless Jack's shirts are band shirts

The neighborhood, TV girl, hollywood undead, mother mother, ICP, ect ect are a few of his favorites! Granted I think his wardrobe would become more limited since he lives in the woods alone in my au...

Still focusing on EJ, in my au before he got all.. monsterified... I feel like he was studying to be a doctor

Ironic and kinda messed up considering now he's forced to dissect people to sustain his own body but yeah

I'm pretty sure I said this before but I'll say it again since I love the concept; but Ben 99% of the time is bound to electronic devices. Basically meaning you'll rarely, if ever, see him drag himself out. Even when he does it takes a lot out of him, and he can only wander for so long until he has to go back

More au stuff but to help give jill her own unique vibe and stuff, I designed her to look like those old dolls you'd see way back then. You know the ones, with the porcelain faces and ragdoll-like bodies!! She still has her black and white clown look but yeah!! Due to this she also has visible tears and stitches on her; mainly on the limbs!! I also kinda wanna give her a sort of lolita dress look, if I ever draw her again! Give her loads of frills and stuff

Tying this all off since shes made to resemble a doll shes short 😔☝️ a moment of silence for lady

She can still stretch her limbs like jack, though

Though tbh idk if jill could do that or not <\3 but shh it's my au

Jane is much more... well idk the right wording, but I guess shes more masc presenting in my hc/au? She doesnt wear a dress or pair of heels like her canon look

I adore her canon look dont get me wrong, but I feel like considering that shes gunning for Jeff, that isnt too practical; esp considering jeff is.... something else

Basically wears stuff that's easier to run in, add some protection to her if she falls, swap the heels out with running shoes, no dangly accessories, ties her hair back. If not she'd definitely cut it down short

She still has her mask, though, but its a prosthetic she made/received herself since I dont think she'd want to touch the one jeff gave her

So yeah!!

Also I feel like, out of most the creepypastas, she has the best chance of living her own life in society; she only has intention to end game jeff, but asides that shes just. Mostly normal. Shes in therapy for her trauma, she has a job, she lives in her own place, ect

Oh that also reminds me! I keep rattling in about "my au" this, "my au" that, but I havent actually... released anything about it outside of headcannons

Idk if it'll be out in written fanfics, or as comics, or just one shot half au-accurate drawings or WHAT but

Basic run down of the au; time skip has taken place, havent decided a set amount of years, but it's been long enough that characters (that age) like jeff or jane are in their 20s (so like anywhere between 7-13ish years)

Slender still has his mansion, but it's hardly like anything the old fandom had,, it's no where near as huge or extravagant; its about as good as an abandoned mansion can be with little to no access to materials to upkeep it, and hardly anyone lives in it

Also same area ej lives, but they don't interact much and have a tense dynamic; both refuse to change locations

Still fleshing out the mansion idea!! So this is subject to change!!

Anywaus

Obviously characters who dont age/are ghosts/undead dont change ages; so like ben and sally are still the same, and the same applies to others like

Uuuuuh

Puppeteer, laughing jack and jill, slender and his brothers (this au does not include THAT one, fuck that one, we only have splendor and trender here), zalgo

Oh speaking of zalgo! He exists!! They don't really have a physical/tangible form though, hes more so a concept/untouchable entity that corrupts whatever it touches and causes chaos

Anyways

Also eyeless Jack's aging is... slowed; not by much but yeah!! Side effect of his curse and the whole "his body is changing into something horrific", and the slow age thing is a whole thing about the curse trying to extend his life span in order to cause more damage to himself and others

Real goofy stuff

Anyways

Laughing jack lives in his lil box and mostly transfers from person to person via the box being passed around

Be it garage sales or being sold in a goodwill, he eventually finds a new family to torment

No one suspects the old ass jack in the box!!!!

Ysah that's about it

Sits

Anyways yall should totally send me In requests (please read my pinned first!!)

#creepypasta headcanon #creepypasta #creepypasta au #au #slenderman #creepypasta nina the killer #eyeless jack #laughing jack #laughing jill #ben drowned #zalgo #jane the killer

I SWEAR THIS ONE ISNT ANGST THIS TIME

I've recently gotten back into one of my favorite games of all time, Bg3. With hotfix #24 up and time to sit back and just enjoy my playthrough (its like my 6th). I was streaming the char creation to one of my friend's (even though my pc was slowly slowly screwing itself over and it still is rip) created the Tav I'll be using.

Yes its an oc tav but please bare with me

As i was playing i could not stop from developing a backstory for her, ended up homebrewing an entire race and how they interact with others during a brain storm session at the cafe i write at (please help the workers know my order and name now) and while listening to music i came up with a slow burn love story.

anyways, no more stalling and thank you so much for reading

Blood Laced Petals

The chilly night air whipped through Valora's hair sending shivers down her spine. Her hair, long and a dark pink mixed with dark purples, pulled tightly in a braid that reaches down to her ankles. Her skin, the color of the wild flowers beneath her feet, a shade of light ink mixed with rose. The horns on her head, a light green fading slowly into white. Her eyes, the sclarea a shade of black, her iris a shade of pink, matching her skin and the pupils, a shade of green matching her horns.

She wears a dress she calls "night song" with golden wires wraping around her legs up to her thighs. Her dress a dark green. A crooked old staff on her back.

Inhaling deeply Valora sighs, feeling the energy of life around her. Closing her eyes and sitting on the grassy, flower covered ground, she closes her eyes and meditates, failing to hear the chaos in her village about a mile away from where she sits.

Clueless as ever, opening her eyes up just as a long black tundral from the Notoloid gets its hold around her waist, effectively and unwillingly teleporting her into a mindflayer pod.

------

It takes a while of willing her eyes to open, then willing the pod to open for her to escape. Her bare feet landing on the squishy flesh like floor of the Notoloid.

No sooner had she exited the pod did fire and flame finally find its way into the room she was held in. The ship lurched forward and back, as if it were tossed by the deep waters of the sea than the clear skies.

Looking out a side of the Notoloid that was torn open from who knows what, she see's it down below. On hands and knees she crawls closer to the edge, amazed by what she sees below.

A realm, entirely of green and blue, much like the realm she came from, but also different. She can spot clusters of stone and various colors down below.

Looking up she can see the stars and beautiful night sky. Something she knew her people back home would be watching two.

Mistaking it for her home for a moment, she tried to access her magic. However no matter how much she willed it, she did not have a bond with this land, and therefore could not access any of her magic.

One last lurch forward of the ship caused her to black out once more.

-----

When she woke up, she was faced with several unfamiliar faces.

A half elf with pitch black hair and deeper eyes, with a strange trinket around her head. A human wizard, wrapped in robes of purple eyeing her with a grate curiosity. A pale elf with swirling white hair and blood red eyes. And a Gith with short brown hair.

Shooting up Valora looked almost relieved to see a Gith, as they had came to her realm a long time ago, and acted as rulers. Yes, Gith thought of her kind as underlings, nothing more than sheep to look after, she was relieved to see someone who she thought could help.

Before she could open her mouth to speak, shouting was heard just over the hill,

"Apologies, but it seems our introductions will have to wait"

Valora was helped up by man wrapped in purple as the woman with black hair left to go speed with a blue tifling. A woman they seemed to call "tav".

The group of them seemed to be following Tav, so Valora did as well. Blindly trusting the Gith as she had been trained to since a little girl.

She watched the group fight a pack of goblins. Valora wanted to help, but without her magic, without her bond to the land, it would be impossible for her without becoming an hindrance. And so she watched.

After the fight was done, she noticed the man with white hair, who she overheard Tav adress as "Astarion" eye the blood that was spilled with a mix of hunger and disgust. Valora found it odd, thinking about it, in her experience she had never known a creature to just feed off of blood.

"Hello there, quite sorry we never became acquainted"

A voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"My name's Gale"

The wizard wrapped in purple shook her hand

"Tav has gone up ahead, speaking with Zevlor"

Gale motions over to the blue and red tiflings speaking together. He then motions to each person respectively,

"That one's Lazel, we aren't sure if her bark is wore, or her bite"

He chuckles to him self after his poor joke.

"That one there is Astarion, don't let him scare you. And that one's Shadowheart. Quite the name if I say so"

Valora finds herself nodding along, taking in the information.

"I'm Valora"

She spoke, looking now at Tav who returned.

"Valora correct? Hello, I'm Tav-"

The two of you were cut off by a lurching, searing pain in the head as your two tadpoles formed a connection.

One end saw from your point of view, looking down at the realm as the Notoloid crashed down to the earth below.

The other saw a fight between Mindflayers and Cambions. In the end when it came down to it, the party that came out ontop was that of Shadowheart, Lazel and Tav.

Reeling the two of you looked at each other. Valora smiles shyly. She knew she had become a thrall, but was choosing to live her life here to the fullest while she could.

Tav smiled warmly at Valora who was rubbing the back of her arm.

"Your also infected? Come with us. We're searching for a cure"

Valora nodded her head and shook Tav's hand. Gale smiled while Lazel and Shadowheart looked unreadable. Astarion on the other hand looked a bit more unhappy. Another person ment another mouth to feed and more food they'd have to find.

He also wasn't a fan on how she just hid watching while the others did all the hard work, all the killing all the bloodshed. So he turned his nose up, thinking her a freeloader.

Tav led the ever growing group further inside the Druid camp. While tav was off speaking with a man with a stone eye, Valora wondered off a bit, Lazel making sure she kept an eye on her from a distance.

Valors felt quite a strong connection here, like she could bond with this land here and now, but she knew it would still take a few hours, and from the looks of the group and how they were already heading deeper into the grove she wouldn't have time. She would have to wait till they all set up camp.

Valora watched closely as Tav spoke with the head Druid Kaugha, wincing when she threatened to send a snake on a young tifling. She watched with stars in her eyes as Tav managed to diffuse the situation and give Astarion an opportunity to slip away.

Valora winced as they spoke with Nettie and received the wyvern poison. Biting her lip as once again, Tav diffused the situation, as Gale's blood started to boil, as ShadowHeart and Lazel remained stoic. She couldn't read Astarions expression.

As the sun began to set as they left the Druid camp behind, she watched as the group started to set up camp for the night, Valora mimicking the movements of Lazel.

The group welcomed Wyll who was ready at the camp sight. Then sharing what home cooked goodness Gale managed to throw together with what they found.

-------

As night fell and the group went to bed, Valora peaked her head out of her tent. Looking around and spotting no one, she headed deeper into the woods. Tav had given her a spare pair of clothes to sleep in, a pair of leather pants and white tunic. The top didn't quite fit but it was more than sufficient for sleepwear.

Finding a circle of trees, Valora took a seat, closing her eyes and started to meditate, making sure she could get a nice and deep connection with the land.

As she was doing so. Her horns started to softly glow a light green, matching the colors of her horns.

----

Astarion could have swore that if his heart could beat it would be beating currently. He was hunting a boar. Something that could let him a while.

It took him longer than he would have liked, his body and reactions already slower from his hunger.

He panted, his back to a tree and a boar half drained in his arms. He was pleased with this hunt. It would be alright. As he sunk his fangs back into the boar he spotted a dim glow coming from a circle of trees.

Finishing his meal and leaving the body aside, he snuck closer, if it were a stranger or a poor traveler who went alone, he could swipe a few things he may need.

As he peaked through some trees he saw Valora, her back turned to him. Her horns glowing as she feel into a deep meditation.

He stumbled, but careful not to make a sound.

She wasn't a tifling

She wasn't what he thought at all, she wasn't from this realm

He had questions. And questions he would ask when he could get her alone the next night.

--------

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND TGIS IS A SLOW BURN SO PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME

Shadow Soldier Esil!

Okay an AU where Esil dramatically(accidentally) dies during the final boss fight, Sung is sad for a bit, doesn't know if he should bring back the body to his parents since he did promise her safety ah, and this might lead to a war with the last clan when—

[You can extract this Demon's Shadow]

"Huh?!" He couldn't before and now he can?

But she seemed nice... should he do it?

Well, he did technically cause her death(kinda) so he does. The darkness encapsulates her body, a new shade of paleness appears on her skin, and dark red irises are now replaced within the glowing blue of his shadows, and a flicker of light white light.

It seems she cant speak like she used to, whe Esil notices this too, she covers her mouth quickly. Then starts writting on the sand with a scale from one of the destroyed demons.

{You have revived me?}

Jin Woo nods. "I had made a promise to your father to keep you safe, yet i failed. Im sorry."

Her new memories have been recovered, as well as those that have been replicated in the dungeon. However, no matter how much she hold the scalp of the demon in place, or triesto write with her fingers, her mind blanks. She looked to her side, there is that marshal she has seen before, The Blood Red Commander.

She understands it all now, and begins to write anew, a different thought in her mind.

{You have freed me from death, God of Death, and for that, my life is yours to wield as you please.}

"Really?"

[??? level 5

Rank: Knight]

"Esil...ah, just Esil, will that be alright?"

The shadow drops a sigh, her attitude still not changed towards Jin Woo despite being under the influence of the system. With a slow nod and a small frown she nods back.

Her name is now Esil.

"Good. Esil, we have to leave quickly so I dont know if we will be able to let you meet your father for the last time--"

The shadow is oddly touched by the sudden attitude, she raises a hand up and writes down that there is no need, all of the words that needed to be said have been said, besides, that demon on the other floors, as well as everyone else except her, is somewhere else, dead or not, these beings are memories she doesnt wish to go back to.

---

Despte being a small and weak shadow compared to all others like Iron or Igris, Esil does her best to help around, with a quick speed she can easily defeat more oponents than before, and now that she isnt so scared of death like she was in the past, Esil can use the full extent of her abilities.

For the most part she would be training in the shadow domain with Igris, also a swordsman like her, or be hunting down demons left and right with Iron and the rest of the beasts.

"Esil, I want you to guard Jin Ah." Jin Woo guesses that she might be the most fit out of all his shadows, since she seems to pose for a less threatning type unlike the golems and huge knights at her disposal, but after Jeju and all the level up to Elite knight in such a short amount of time, he has confidence in Esil to be at least the power of an S rank, meaning Jin Ah would be powerful enough for even A rank beasts to not be a threat to her well being.

Which leads Esil and Jin Ah to a weird meeting when Esil accidentally is found using the bathroom to style her hair. (She thought Jin Ah was sleeping but... oh boy, humans have to go pee at night huh.)

"So you are one of my oppai's summons?" Jin Ah asks whille they are both on the sofa, with the little sister styling her hair in whatever way the girl likes to do. Esil shyly nods, praying to no one that Jin Woo doesnt kill her because she was found out, ah! but its been ages since she has taken care of herself or even looked at herself! She really just wanted to at least braid her hair! My liege dont kill m for this!!

"Cool! Can you talk?"

Esil shakes her head.

"What about writting?"

Cue Esil learning Korean in a few months. Beru also teaching her some phrases of modesty and being proud he knows Korean and Japanese. Esil also learns some Japanese along the way while talking to Beru, both getting along surprisingly well inside the domain because they like watching Korean Dramas.

Jin Ah, and Song Yi, also likes to play dress up with the Demon princess, often coming back from a shopping spree and trying out new things on her.

"Jin Ah, don't go buying so much stuff now that your brother is an S rank."

"Aww. But mom! Look at her she is so pretty! And besides, we have so much money now, I promise we are just going to rent clothes from now on, and there not even a lot, so pleaseee~~~"

Esil also helps around in the house, since the mom bearly got out of the hospital after sleeping for years, so her body must have been dense and not willing to do a lot of work.

Park is thankful for such a good princess that she is, even if her knowledge is albeit, a bit lacking in the caring for someone department. So Park has to be there to teach her how to use certain utensils, clean the house and other kinds of stuff. Sometimes she burns out a few things and leaves the house in a messier state than before, which prompt Jin Ah to also help her clean when she isn't in school or doing her homework.

But at the end, she is getting better at it.

(Sidenote: Esil works as a maid at night-time, following every step mother park lay out to her, and then when Jin Ah has to go to school she slips back into her shadow and learns a lot more than Jin Ah is taking notes on. She loves History and Math, which is a blessing to Jin Ah because she is a wreck in those two subjects.

Esil becomes some sort of tutor to Jin Ah, while also studying everything else alongside her. She even uses what she learned in school to advance her knowledge and technique over the world they are in.)

Phew! This is one of the first times she has ever worked so hard! And just look at the cleaned spots, all the laundry done and the breakfast prepared for breakfast, dinner and lunch before they even wake up!

"Hah! I'm such a good house maid! Take that Beru! He said I would be able to clean even a bug from my Liege's house because of my "princess attitude" but look at me now! I have overcome my fears yet again!"

"Esil??"

The demon stubles back, her body falling right on the bucket full of dirty mop water which lands back on the floor.

Noooo, it took three times to clean it so spotlessly!!

Of course there isn't any time to cry about it when Jin Woo suddenly hold her up and looks at her very very confused.

"You can talk?!?"

Esil shows him the phone, one that has text to speech app put on it. Though she was just writing it out, didn't really mean to press it play right now.

Jin Woo isn't mad. Just slightly annoyed no one told him why Jin Ah suddenly had a shopping habit and why his mother never once looked so tired from doing all the housework.

After cleaning up the mess, he did want to thank the demon, though he sure how, so he simply patted her head and thanked her for all the hard work.

Which seemed to be a little too much since the princess started crying and rapidly thanking out her phone saying that it was not a problem at all, she shouldn't be thanked, she was doing the bare minimum, Yada Yada, Sung stopped her from typing out more and getting on her knees.

"You did well, Esil"

The other two shadows that where inside Jin Ah's shadow were made to stand by at the classroom were the Liege's sister stood, meanwhile Esil started to fight the other magic beasts like she was out for blood. Which, considering just how much time she had gotten to learn about the people in the school, all the friends Jin Ah had and all the other innocent kids that at one point where just like her, never meant to be suddenly killed because of a meaningless war.

She was, she was coming out for blood.

The first floor, some of them died, the second and third where almost spotless. At least Jin Ah never got to experience it up close. Yet one to two always escaped from her grasp. The golems decided to gang up on her at another moment. She was sending out all of her alarms to inform the King that Jin Ah was in danger, but he didn't come.

Fear trembled out of every bone in her body when the wounds would start healing at a slower pace. Esil didn't know what it could possibly mean. Still she did what she could to at least stop them from harming the other students. And when one of her arms had been cut off, Esil chose to run.

Unsurprisingly, the magic beasts chased her down.

Good. That's what she wanted in the first place.

As Esil ran around the halls, she commemded one of the two shadow soldiers to grab the rest of the kids and guide them to Jin Ah's classroom.

Once all the survivors lay inside that classroom, then she would be fine to...

Her arm slowly started growing back, she was elighted to see it so. Her King was close now, then Jin Ah would be safe and she wouldn't need to worry—

SLASH!

"So you are the demoness that has been killing my soldiers and annoyed me from taking over the world."

Her phone cracked, she couldn't say anything, and her body was slowly being shaken up by a sudden wave of mana.

Mana that didn't come from the dungeon boss. It came from the person behind him.

"You did well, Esil, now go."

The dungeon boss moved his head around. Quickly, as Esil's body was regenerating, she retreated back to the classroom, not wanting to face the absolute bloodshed that was to come.

----

"My Liege forgive me! I'm really sorry! Due to my failure to keep my promises my Liege has once again been hurt! I have committed a great sin I know I have and you may punish me as you please but forgive me My Lord for my incompetence!"

"Esil—"

She hugged his leg.

"Pleaseee I'm sorrryyyy I really tried. Don't send me back to sleep pleaseeeeee!!"

"Esil, Esil listen to me I know you did your best, and I'm not going to send you away so calm down."

It was his first time seeing a shadow tear up. "Really?"

"Yes. I'm just going to leave Beru in their care now, you can move back to fight in Beru's place instead. I know you are strong, but you need to become stronger if you want to keep protecting Jin Ah and my mother. So until you reach a higher grade, you will be doing raids with me."

"...ok." She nodded. "Will I still be able to see them?" She scribbles out in her notebook and Jin Woo has to admit he is a bit jealous of how beautiful her hand writing is compared to his. Is because of her past? *shrug*

"Yes, when I come back from the raids you can join Jin Ah in her studies—Ah! Why are you crying again?!"

Other fun shenanigans:

• Jin Woo and Esil bake together. Esil ends up burning hers which makes Jin Woo laugh.

• Igris treats Esil like a little Swordsman Junior.

•At first Beru is intolerable to Esil, but they get somewhat along when they watch K historial dramas and often comment on how obvious it is that character will die or that character will end up marrying the protagonist. Or how that one is totally the villain!

•Jin Woo buys Esil a text to speech machine that has been inveted since the experimentation with machines and mana. It can use her thoughts and translate them into the sound that appears in the tiny microphone that Esil wears as a necklace. One time a magic beast tried to catch it. Jin Woo saw her massacrating a body in such a messy way for the first time.

•Jin Ah created an Instagram account for her. There Esil cosplays as random elf girls from ranging topics from Games to Anime to just popular media in general. They can only do this on the weekends though but Esil has such a huge Fanbase starting from her first post.

• She also gets dressed up in her shadow armor. The one from the first chapters when Jin woo meets her, with the helmet and all. That's mostly what she wears on her raids.

•She treats Jin Hoo with a lot of care too, often buying out more food to make a lunch for him too.

• Esil likes to keep trinkets of some beasts she killed. She also hands Jin Ah a pearl necklace whose origin was better not to discuss.

• Esil was thought to be Jin Woo's girlfriend at one point since one of the Instagram posts showed a picture of Jin Woo and Jin Ah framed in the back (It was when Jin Ah made a selfie with her brother, Miss Park wanted to frame it.) And it blew up so much that even some S rank hunters saw them. Ohohoho.

•Jin Woo hugged her and apologized to her when he first had the flashback to the War between The Monarch of White Flames and Beast Monarch against Ashborn.

She was one of the few whose bodies had not been incinerated (by Baran, he didn't want his soldiers to be turned into the soldiers of Ashborn.) And therefore The shadow Monarch could extract her.

She didn't leave the shadow domain, but she wasn't a slacker either. Just as strong as the rest of them, but not by much, she simply handled some organized duties of the King and killed as many as she needed. So it was hard for Ashborn to know whenever Esil wanted to stay or leave. Her small and fragile attitude was also why Igris cared for her when they met again. Since the poor girl had lost of all her family, but due to the effects of being a Shadow, she couldn't even hate the killer, so she was in a bit of a depression.

Of course it all slowly began to change when she was transported to the Demon realm. She had a choice, to be killed by Ashborn's succesor or to join him until the end.

And meeting this new succesor who looked so weak human-wise and yet so strong as he could summon Igris with him... She choose to stay, thinking that she could have a chance at life again without the need to feel sad that she wasn't joining the side of the person who murdered her family. But rather someone new, a new King of Death. A new Shadow Monarch.

She wasn't following Ashborn out of survival. She was was following Sung Jin Woo out of her own free will.

And the promise to be protected by him only made her resolvement stronger.

Of course she had to get out of the castle, so in an attempt to save Jin Woo on the 100th floor, she chose to attack Baran, her progenitor and ancestor, causing her to end her life.

Maybe this time, she can save a world from the same world that has brought hers to extinction.
