The Art of Losing Touch

When Cal wakes up in a psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt, his life appears to he over in every way but literally. His youngest brother hates him now, and everyone else in his family keeps him at emotional arms’ length, afraid he’ll explode.

After he’s finally released, he has to work on putting his life back together, but with the rumors at school and the cruelty of new and numbered bullies, his parents pull him out and sign him up for internet classes.

At first his medication makes it impossible to function, but as his doctor adjusts them, things start to seem like they’ll get better.

Then Cal meets Craig, and everything goes upside down. But this time, in the best possible way.

Period Drama/YA. Gen with gay male lead.

Uploading all my Tomgreg art at once from the past few week before season 4 hits, who knows in what kind of mental state i'm gonna be once it does :')

#tomgreg #succession #dont even talk to me i started watching this show when i had nothing to do at work and now i watch it with averiel my good friend averiel #and we are going to watch s4 together and i feel physically ill from bein so excited #so ya thats what ive been up to... anyway. i love these idiots they desever nothing but the worst (affectionate)#im also a tomshiv lover btw. im the one who yells 'THIS IS HOW TOMSHIV CAN STILL WIN' while they are actively losing on screen #thats the kind of person i am #dont look at me (lying on the floor)#okay i was not going to say stuff in the tags and let the art speak for itself but i NEED to point out details in the wine Painting..#i put a lot of work into that one. thinly veiled metaphors and symbolism yknow..#greg is gripping the stem of the wine glass with his full fist. tom and greg are dressed in the same outfit (sock garters included)#greg look appalled but he is not doing anything about the spill. tom is fondly pouring greg more and more wine. he is doing him a favor #i colored the red wine the same way i would color blood :) oh and tom is not really touching greg #only holding the chair in place. greg is making himself look smaller than he is like usual #oh and @ the person who said that it's the inverse of the tom and nate scene i love the way you think. i did not think of that before #but god. yeah. i actually thought about the scene change from when roman uhh.. christens his office in s1. the one with the coffee machine #i always go insane at that cut. this is not exactly the same since it's more.. about emotions but yknow.. it can be.. the same...

🥀 when touch averse becomes touch starved 🥀

#so i had certain vision in my head #it's gonna be pretty long so you don't have to read this 👀#peppino is afraid to fall in love cause he's very scared and convinced that if he gets very attached to someone he may lose them #because of his fault #so this case fell to gustavo and now gus does everything to show him that this won't happen #he shows peppino that it's not bad to get closer to someone if you really care about that person #so back then peppino refused closeness or touch #but the closer he learned to get attached to gustavo the smaller steps he began to show him his feelings through gestures #this had never happened to him before and gustavo was proud of him #sorry you had to read this all hxdgjkdsa #pizza tower #peppino #peppino spaghetti #gustavo #pepstavo #my art #my stuff

#kirby #firearms #guns #swearing #ask to tag #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #it's a goddamn Day once again #while still recovering from the rest of the week my doctor informed me that it's clinic policy that I can't stay on my prednisone #so I have to either leave the clinic or lose the one med giving me even a desperate tenuous grasp on basic tolerable qol #and then while I was drawing there was some kind of altercation in another building #so now I'm on high alert for that too #also fun fact I have not touched a firearm in 7 1/2 years but I drew that m4 from memory lol #(btw this is a play on 'I am not god's strongest soldier')#(which is a play on 'god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers')#tbh I should've drawn kirby sharpening a knife but this is what we got today

#my favourite boys #gow ragnarok ruined me emotionally #the ending made me lose it in fact #atreus remains like just rip my heart out why dont you #anyway #i dislike this rendering now but it was a good experiment #reminder to practise rendering lmao <3 #also atreus having those yellow sparks coming off him plus wiping blood away from his mouth is supposed to indicate he just turned back #from being a wolf #little touches #thank you for reading as always #gow #gow ragnarok #kratos #atreus #stillindigo art

I will find a way to help you, Galvatron. If I can.

#I don't think season 3 touched on enough how miserable cyclonus would be losing the man he was made for #within such a short period to madness #It could potentially be devastating #my art #transformers #transformers g1 #galvatron #cyclonus

more old man yaois under the cut 💕

#arts #mine #saucy #pepstavo #gus is like #so plesantly surprised w how mellow this man is #he just runs his shop. comes home and cooks and watches tv for a lil bit #and its like #he is just relaxing now; no real stress about his shop or his home anymore #and like YEAH gus was already committed to staying w him even when he was angry and volatile #but knowing that hes got this mellow man underneath all of that initial anxiety and stress is like #🥺#and he doesnt wanna LOSE that…so gus spoils him as much as he can heehee #as much as he teases about wanting to bottom he is still generally happy and eager to top #esp when pep is so receptive to touch and praise #he doesnt need the ego boost but it helps 😌

*bursts through the wall* I HEARD YOU WERE TAKING LU MOTH SUGGESTIONS LAST MONTH ARE YOU STILL TAKING THEM

ahem. if perchance, you are still open to suggestions, may i offer this idea: the boys trying to teach Moth how to fight (maybe Moth doesn't get it and is all "but dodging is right there???") and/or make weapons

Ten First Lines

tagged by a bunch of people, now, to share the first line from the most recent ten things I’ve written! I’m just going to do my three current wips and then go backward on ao3 lol

two of them have the first two lines because the first line is so short

cw: suicide attempt mention

The Black & Blues: It’s 1997. Green Day just released Nimrod, and it’s awesome, and it makes you want to see them live even more now.

The Most Beautiful Puzzle: This is getting absolutely ridiculous.

The Princess and The Pirate: Many years past, in Selan, the Land of Gold and Clockwork, there lived a King and a Queen who, more than anything, wanted a child of their own.

In the Lion’s Teeth: It's been three years since you've arrived in the United States.

Until Our Hearts Go Numb: The door is in splinters, almost broken, the bang of a shoulder or a boot or the butt of a gun against the wood like the smashing of your heart against your ribcage.

And All the Devils Are Here: Ahren Beckmann was dead.

And Never the Twain Shall Meet: The cat is looking at you.

In the Basement, In the Sky: So, Jen, or Atreyu, or whatever name you’re going by today. Here you are on the kitchen floor again, face pressed to the cold tile and hair falling every which way.

Walking Out of Stride: Jackalope Hills, Arizona, was a tiny hole of a town a few miles south of the middle of nowhere and a couple blocks east of who the hell cares.

The Art of Losing Touch: “Why did you want to kill yourself, Calum?”

tagging @kaiusvnoir @winterandwords @riftversus to share the first ten (or however many you have or want) lines of your most recent ten things! Poetry, fanfic, short stories, it all counts!
