disintegration
(for the human realm au drawing; Hunter is in a wheelchair because of a TBI (traumatic brain injury) that also is the source of his scars. He has seizures and mental health issues as well, along with not recalling the source of the injury. Nevertheless he's enough in recovery to be head hall monitor and altar boy at the esteemed Catholic private school Gravesfield academy, where his uncle is the principal and the head priest, as well as Hunter's sole caretaker while his mother is in prision and his dad is deployed in the army.)
Quick drawing for Yoshiki’s birthday
having fun with giving titan luz painful facial jewlery... its fun to reflect her discordant mental state w restrictive and uncomfortable ceremonial attire. i was talking with my friend about how you can tell luz's mental state by the state of her hair... luz as the titan is like vines growing on an abandoned building. shes at her lowest but shes still graceful and important, her accessories restrictive yet beautiful, like pain clotted into hard, turned into something substantial and angry
some silly sketches >:PP
honestly i don't think varian or hugo have a completely normal relationship with food varian's whole thing with practically starving himself in prison, eating just enough to survive (for dad, he says. i've got to stay alive for dad but it doesn't matter if i bring myself to the verge a couple times, no) and looking completely hollow by the end of it. fighting andrew and rapunzel tooth and nail (i'm fine, he says. i'm fine, i'm full. ruddiger was begging over here) because honestly he's not even hungry anymore after barely eating for so long. but then as he gets happier and cares about himself enough to actually participate in self care, he finally starts filling out and the moment he doesn't quite fit in his old saporian clothes anymore is the happiest day he's had in a year. but sometimes when he gets nervous or upset, he forgets/"forgets" to eat something and raps has to push a plate under his door hugo, however, didn't grow up with much and he wishes he had the choice varian had, to refuse something or not. hugo had to learn to scarf even the worst of meals if he got the opportunity to, because that may he all he'll get for a day or two. donella feeds him well now, to raise him strong and healthy, but he still has that slightly malnourished look to him from being away on missions so much, from running so much. and bad habits die hard. the memories of being a starving orphan on the street never really goes away varian's picky and will cherry pick good food sometimes, both because he's genuinely a picky eater but also because he's used to not feeling like he deserves it. hugo shoves whatever in his mouth, whether it be rotton or whatever because he'll always feel like someone's trying to cheat him, or will take that meal away at any moment
green yuri and varigo mentioned!! everybody cheer
prey animals
(hunter is pictured with lilies, goldenrod, and plum blossoms, for perseverance, purity, and the changing of seasons. caleb is pictured with lobelia, which means arrogance, malevolence, and it used to be used as an emetive by appalacian herbalists. turns out, empty isnt the same as clean. who would have thought)
A Treasure Plant AU Ive been working on!
In this AU, Varian finds his mother’s map after their home is ransacked. Eugene and Lance take on the role of Dr Doppler and accompany Varian to protect him. They board Captain Rapunzel’s ship and meet her Navigation Officer Nuru. Here Donella is the ship’s Surgeon and Hugo the recently promoted Cook.
Now Varian is taking his place as cabin boy, Hugo is annoyed and frustrated as he is left out of Donella’s Plans to show Varian the ropes and keep him from learning any of their secrets.
