december 22nd was the second anniversary of my first retyrement AU post! thanks so much to everyone for following it thus far, and for an amazing 2023 overall! it's been really wonderful making art for all of you, and i hope to keep up steam in the new year!
though OLD_FOLKS HOME's posting anniversary on ao3 isn't until february 16th next year, i wrote a fun little oneshot for the occasion! it's a little fanservice-y romp i've been thinking of writing for awhile ^^ i hope you enjoy it, and that it tides you over until the next OFH arc! you can find it on ao3 right here
thanks so much again to everyone for being such a wonderful audience here on tumblr, and hope you all have a lovely new year!

I realized I haven’t given our sweet grimora the same attention as the other scrybes- here’s art to make up for that!!!!
I’m also up for some inscryption requests if anyone who sees this wants to send me some in my ask box :-)

Did I ever tell you how much I love the way you draw the Prospector?
I'd like to request the Prospector n Royal holding hands peas 👉👈
Carrying a treasure chest together is kinda like holdin hands right?

Where are my Dredger enthusiasts at? (I love this lil fella!)
HC of the day: Used to be an Ex-sailor, traveling the sea to find high-quality scraps until p03 decided that dredging up the metals from the sea is more efficient and would help him get to the old_data. Dredger still misses sailin' around but it is what it is.
ALSO DO YOU SEE MY VISION???? (this is the second crackship I've come up with and obsessed over. first one being Trader and Grimora. don't ask. I just like old people being in love.)

hey, it’s the retyrement au’s anniversary! it’s been a year to the day since i posted my first crusty design iterations of these guys in response to my buddy @squid-hug’s funny textpost about human scrybes in a retirement home. i had no idea i would stick with the idea as long as i have, but i’ve been having so much fun with these characters in this setting
so, i gave them a bit of a glow-up! their designs have all been tweaked a little, and everyone’s got a bit of flavor text this time; i haven’t included all information i find pertinent about these guys because i didn’t want this to turn into a text-filled mess lol; that said i did wanna set the record straight on pronouns so those are all under the cut!
thanks so much to everyone who’s read OLD_FOLKS HOME up to this point, and to those who have enjoyed my art of this silly niche concept! though school’s slowed me down a bit, i have no intention of stopping, and i welcome anyone for whom this is your first proper introduction to this goofy AU ^^ hope you all enjoy it as much as i do
