The Torch Carrier—Child of the Pyre, Child of Death
(yes, more Royalty/Fantasy AU Suga art—so sue me 😤 and apologies for the abysmal gif quality)

(and once again this is gonna be some massive spoiler for anyone actually reading this AU, but like... pls, I can't stop myself)
The Crossed Torches are an old symbol for a gateway to the realm of the dead. Karasuno in particular has a deep connection to death and its manifestation—The Angel of Death, Azrael.
Once every blue moon, the angel, who has no permanent physical form in the realm of the living, chooses to take hold in a human who then becomes their vessel. The vessel provides their body and their soul as new habitat for the angel and offers themselfe as tool for the angel should they decide to take action in the corporeal world—whenever they act, angels usually choose to modify the body of their vessel to reminiscent their ethereal form. In return for hosting the angel, the vessel can use its power and call favors from the entity.
Suga was offered as a vessel by his father, in the hopes of Areal being able to cure his sickness. Not knowing the details and conditions of vesselship, Suga accepted in the hopes of now being able to die. However, it did neither what he nor his father wanted, as vessel ship is a soul-bond under the protection of mother fate and made his live her property (so that fate alone could influence it—he can neither take his live nor can Azrael prolong it). Since then their relationship has been rocky. At first, Suga was angry at Azrael for deceiving him but eventually came to the realization that he now had to make the best of the situation—from there on he quickly learned how to call upon the angel's powers, for example by reassembling the spirits of authors of rare books and make them help him reconstruct their works, translate them from their original languages or teach him in their field of expertise. Over time, Suga has gradually grown into his role as vessel and managed to find a harmonious co-existence with the universe-shaping entity making snarky comments inside his soul. The only things they repeatedly clash over is Azrael's increasing interest in Natsu (and Daichi's adamant dislike of the entity, although Suga is more annoyed with Azrael for teasing his husband than angry).
Please also give lots of love to Atlas (@sleepskie), who was my amazing artist partner for the January work (look at that smiling Matsun ahhhhhhhh 💕).
2020 was kind of a mediocre year!? Like I experimented a lot with textures, brushes and layer modes in shading and lighting especially and I really like what I created but it doesn’t feel like I’ve had any major break-throughs unlike the last years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, if you are interested in my art you can either visit me on DeviantArt as CharlyLee or on the Arts&OCs Amino as Charly Lee OR you can have a peek at my art tag #charleedraws OR check out the single pieces here on Tumblr ~
January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December
And while I know that 2020 technically isn’t over yet, I have decided to quit art for now, since I have a hell of a lot of writing to finish and also exams to prepare for, so I’d still like to wish you all a merry rest of the year and let’s hope that 2021 will be a better year or at the very least less of a clusterf*ck!
Happy KyouHaba day! As some of you may know, a bunch of us have gotten together (a little last minute) to create something special for KyouHaba this year. Beautiful Tension is a free unofficial fanzine dedicated to one of our favorite ships that brings together twenty-six artists, writers, and even a cosplayer in a 220 page digital zine! With 13 illustrations, an entire cosplay photoset, and over 50k words created just for this event, we hope you enjoy! And please remember to spread the love to our lovely contributors who were working on a rather tight deadline, they deserve it~!
MatsuHana/IwaOi | Haikyuu!! | Pre-Timeskip/Canon compliant | Rated: G | 600 words
Hanamaki drops down to his knees and wedges his fingers into the gap between the lockers until they meet resistance. Seconds later, Matsukawa is hanging over his shoulder, eager to catch a glimpse at the small, staple-bound booklet and Hanamaki fumbles open the pages, hands shaking with anticipation. “‘Iwa-Chan’s and Tooru’s absolute bestestest Valentinesday date ever’... Issei, hold me.”
My second piece for the MatsuHana Calendar 2023, this time with some wild Valentines shenanigans! Huge shout out also to Mod @violetyams who did a super amazing art piece for this (all their art is gorgeous, please check them out) ~

A while ago I had the chance to work on the Cosmic RarePair Zine (on Twitter) and write a Sachiro/Atsumu fic centered around soulmate companion animals. I also took a run at lineless art for the first time in ages and made this piece of spot art. It's no comparison to the actual artists' pieces but I'm still low-key proud of it for my standards 😌

2021 Olympic Team | Haikyu!! | Timeskip | Rating: T | 2.5k words
“You see, Trainer-san,” Yaku clears his throat. “You’re a meme.” “What?” Hajime blinks at him. “A meme… a contextual internet phenomenon amusing the masses,” Ushijima explains. “I know what a meme is, why am I one?” Yaku opens the laptop, finally releasing Atsumu’s fingers and shows him the Twitter page. Iwaizumi Hajime (27), athletic trainer. Yep, Hajime is a meme now.
Or: Everyone has a crush on Trainer-san! Don't really remember how or why this idea came to me, but I hope you enjoy this small story — Big thanks go to @matsinko for helping me with beta reading 💕

Ahhhh, this sounds fun, let's go ✨ Fact 0: I put this in my drafts as not to loose it and then totally forgot about it anyway because my brain is essentially a potato 😂😅 In other news I really enjoy singing shanties (and am arguably very bad at it or anything that has vaguely to do with music - like... absolutely no talent what so ever), I row(ed) for sport — taking a break due to yee old pandemic but hoping to be back on the water next spring —, aaaand my all time favorite movie is "The Road to Eldorado" (the music, the characters/dynamic, the memes... *dreamy sigh*).
