AND THEN YOU ALL LOSE ANY RESPECT YOU COULD HAVE HAD FOR US (the joke is that if not already you should have done that a very long time ago. for shame, people, having RESPECT for someone)


working design of a main character from a thing we keep meaning to write but never start. might be changed idk. so this kids name is kes and they're a real life insectoid-avian? alien from outer space beep boop. they were born on earth due to falling down there in 'egg' form and they live in the mountains or maybe the countryside with a young human guy called ellis who has chosen to separate himself from society in general as best he can bc he doesnt like it. they fall in love i guess or maybe they just sometimes have sex

kes looks at the stars @ night and even though they don't know what they're really like and have never been home they get a longing to 'go back' to it all the same. sometimes their skin kind of itches a little like their bones are going to just suddenly tear out of it

they don't like to admit it often but they're pretty lonely



i like bruises i like blood i like eyepatches but i actually cant draw any of them. talentless pervert, a shameful pervert



one time we tried to draw a self portrait and this happened nnn as you can see we don't quite understand how self portraits work. what are self portraits? we just don't know


oh this is a bit old??? like two nearly three months i think huh. we still kind of like it a little though (ftr he has hooves)

so um these ones im linking bc they all contain vomit (i mean not necessarily very much but it's still there) oh no how did that happen 0_0 anyway:

this also was intended as a self-portrait i think??? seriously how the fuck do those things work

vriska vomits and also doesn't look very much like vriska, oops. also we drew this for one of our boyfriends as an act of affection!!!! fun fact

a catdude throws up a lot in an absurdly straight line while a monster boy licks his hand and another guy licks at the grossness, everything is terrible ps we also drew this for boyfriendo! the puking one is meant to be him. he said he loves us v excitedly after we showed him it. god im so glad we're space married

conclusion: we cant art, MYTH BUSTED i think we may have at least improved a little bit in the past few months though?! hmm who knows

oh also ellis lives alone because he's a bit disillusioned with society on the whole, particularly after a childhood of basically being let down a fair bit (for one thing he's mentally ill [+ maybe queer] and he didnt grow up in an understanding or accepting environment at all, there was a whole lot of being passed around by various people attempting to ~fix him and much of it was w/ a very 'kill or cure'/'tough love' approach so)

also just the mental illness aspect of things in general... he's prone to anxiety attacks, manic & depressive episodes at times etc, got poked around at a lot for it by people who thought it could just be overcome or believed him to be faking it and after years of being constantly forced out of home to interact with others in situations that v often proved v distressing to him he's just gotten sick of the whole business of social interaction in general

he does want to be able to get along with people a little deep-down hence the lingering loneliness but it's a much smaller part of him than the part that doesn't want to have to live with the many negative parts of society that keep crawling their way back into his life just to experience the few positive ones here and there. so once he was able to he just... upped and left i suppose

he didn't really think it all out very well though. food and clean water and clothes and all that, he kind of took most of it for granted so yeah now he doesn't eat or drink much just due to the sudden lack of it as a ubiquitous commodity, just cycles through the same handful of clothes again and again as necessary, personal hygiene upkeep is just plain not completely a thing anymore (although he doesn't mind that one too much) etc

i like to think that they do too u_u i hope!! just, it'd be nice if they did. but not bad if they didn't. i think

omg this is the kind of story i like. that's really cool, i like the living under the floor thing, it's so creepy in a good way. i like kes' species. I LIKE EVERYTHING sdjkf but i mean it, this is really cool and i can actually relate to both of them--

especially ellis' (is that how you type it, with the apostrophe on the end? so bad at my native language lmao) reasons for living alone (as it's what i want to do one day-- the thoreau life hoohoo)
tough love was the worst idea anyone ever had

actually getting emotionally invested in both of them now noah...whyamilikethis......if this were a book or a movie or something i'd definitely have it as one of my favorites! dang maybe i'm too much of a fandom person unu;;;
