Fun little redraw of this meme by @fish-cakez because it made me laugh so much, I can't stop thinking about it
Oh, and I'm playing around with digital art now (yippeeee)
Nikki is an apple farmer, people can pay to go apple picking and she sells her own apples as well. She doesn't get much money but she gets enough to be comfy overall her life was peaceful. Was peaceful. One ordinary Saturday Nikki was picking apples humming an unrecognizable tune placing apples in her basket when suddenly a shadow covered the sun. Curious Nikki looks up, expecting a cloud or maybe even just a huge flock of birds but instead her blood runs cold as she stares up at the sky. There flying right towards the poor girl is a purple and pink dragon with piercing yellow eyes and razor sharp teeth and a snarling mouth. Nikki drops her basket and starts to walk slowly away before speeding up to a run but before the apple farmer can get far a booming voice speaks up that strikes fear in her heart and stops her from running. "Mortal." Said the deep voice, Nikki takes a breath and turns over to the enlarged dragon and tried to gain her courage "Hello, mighty one" Nikki says flustered bowing down even though he's not a king "Please don't burn my farm" Her voice is trembles as she speaks "Stand" Nikki listens obediently and scrambles up refusing to look the dragon in the eye. "Mortal, I have something to ask you" the dragon says calmly, his voice shaking the trees around and nearly toppling the scared girl. "Yes?" Nikki mutters. Suddenly a puff of smoke appears. Nikki coughs trying to get the smoke out of her lungs once she's able to breath again she looks back at the dragon but instead of a dragon there is a human, he's slightly shorter the Nikki being 5'6 while Nikki is 5'8, he has light purple hair and pale blue skin his teeth are just as sharp and his eyes are just as yellow and intermediating. What stood out most about the man however is what he was holding in his arms, in the dragon's arms is a small child she has the same eyes, teeth, and hair as the man holding her but her hair is in tiny pigtails and her skin is a dull pink instead of a dull blue and she has tiny wings that look almost identical to the ones the man had when he was a dragon except smaller and blue. Her expression looks like an odd mix of sad and excited. She looks to be around two. "This is Arabella my daughter" says the dragon-man his voice is still Intimidating but it's no longer shaking the world with each word. "Um, ok?" Nikki says a little awkwardly. "She is now your daughter" the dragon-man states, tossing Arabella over and Nikki who scrambles to catch her. "What? What are you talking about?" Nikki asks, as Arabella leans forward and hugs her neck "Well you see," the dragon- man starts "Unlike most dragons Arabella is unable to turn into a full dragon or a human so I will no longer be raising her, I believe you humans call it adoption no?" "No! I mean yes technically but adoption is usually more technical not just, 'here's my kid' you know? You can't just give her to me." Nikki cries trying to gently pull the little girl off her neck "yes I can " Nikki shuts up immediately the yellow eyes are glaring at her promising death. Nikki can see her whole farm, her life's work, burning and her burning with it. "Anyway as I said her name is Arabella, she is two years old and she has no allergies. Raise her well." The last part is said as a threat despite the sentence itself seemingly innocent. After a second of awkward eye contact, smoke appears again and it throws Nikki back. She's only barely able to stay on her feet and stop the kid? Dragon? Arabella. From falling out of her arms. Nikki and Arabella look up as the dragon flies away, not even looking back after a second of watching the empty sky a tiny voice in Nikki's arm asks "Are you my new mama?" Nikki just stood there staring up at the clear sky.
"So let me get this right." Nikki's fiance,Lola,readjusts herself on her seat , taking a quick drink of the tea she made for the pair before continuing "A dragon flew down, turned into a human, threw a kid at you and left?" She questioned eyeing the dragon child running around the couch as Nikki sits there defeated. "Yeah," Nikki responds solemnly, looking dead in the chair. Lola hums a noncommittal response then she starts laughing, not even trying to hide it. "Lo' please this isn't funny we are not ready for children" Nikki cries as Arabella jumps onto the couch and starts pulling in her sleeve "Mama! Mama! Who's she?" She asks curiously pointing right at Lola. Lola takes a breath to stop laughing and gives Arabella a sweet smile "Hello my name is Lola, I'm your mom fiance!" Arabella's mouth goes into an O as she looks at Lola excitedly before turning back to her new mama curiously "What's a fiance?" Nikki sighs and sits up a little more so she's no longer slouched on the couch. "It means that we're going to marry each other." "Marry?" Nikki pauses for a second trying to come up with a good explanation but Lola beats her to it "It means dating forever " " FOREVER?!" Arabella repeats as if this is the most interesting Information she has ever heard in her short life "Forever!" Lola repeats copying the young girl's tone. "WOAH!" She exclaimed pulling on Nikki 's sleeve excitedly again "Mama! Mama!" "Hm?" Nikki glances over to her "Can I get married." Lola puts her hand over her mouth to try to cover her giggles, key word try, and Nikki just sighs still too overwhelmed to give a good response "Ask me in twenty years" "But I wanna get married now" Arabella whines pulling harder on her sleeve surprisingly strong for a two year old. Nikki just Crouch's over and hides her head in her hands, "Nikki?" Lola asks gently leaning over towards her tapping her head, "Mama?" Arabella stops pulling on her sleeve instead just gazing up at Nikki, worry clear on her tiny face. "I'm fine, I'm fine" Nikki takes a breath before finally moving her hands away from her face, "I'm sorry." Nikki and Lola look over at the tiny girl who is no longer as energized as she was only a moment ago "For what hun?" Lola asks, taking another drink of her tea Nikki copying her actions. "That I'm here" oh, the couple could feel their heart break. Lola sighs and leans back into her chair "Oh, it's not-" "It's not your fault Arabella" Nikki interrupts surprising both her fiance and her new daughter "You have nothing to be sorry for Arabella, you did nothing wrong I promise." Nikki gives the young girl a sweet smile to comfort her. Arabella pauses for a moment before smiling wide,"So you are my mama!" Arabella exclaims standing up on the couch to effectively celebrate having a new mom. Lola snorts and nudges Nikki with her foot from under the table, while Nikki tries poorly to hide her smile.
You are a humble farmer when a dragon suddenly appears, he wants you to take his young dragon daughter that is unable to turn fully into a dragon and no longer wants her, before you could respond he fly’s away leaving her behind, she then looks at you and ask “Are you my new daddie/mommy?”
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. GUYS I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY.
Joel has always been alone. He has always been red and angry and violent and wild.
That has never worked for him. It’s made people scared, it’s given him so much beautiful blood on his hands, but it has never let him win. Until Wild Life. Where is it all about being crazy, and unnatural and strange forces. And he thrives. He is at peace in the chaos that massacres others. It’s like a home, in a way. Because he’s always lived in it. So he is last one green, last one yellow, last on red.
Gem is dead and he is alone again, like he has always been. It’s how he was in third life, it’s how he is now. He is alone, he is red, he is wild. And that’s all he needs.
And so he finds Grian, the man who’s known all of this chaos, who is unhinged and chaotic, and works with him. He promises Joel a sacrifice, a few words that sound like friendship again. Joel doesn’t acknowledge it. Instead he kills and kills and kills, and he is alone when Grian tries to shoot him through the back, and he is alone when he knocks Grian’s corpse to the ground.
And he is smiling like a mad man. He is red and so is the blood all around him. He is a feral, wild beast, and he yellows in victory as he is struck down.
You know what else is red? Mars.
I enjoy the inherent humor of "Grian made it his mission to end Jimmy's series and yet, Jimmy still survived longer than when Grian was actively trying to keep him alive."
Being Grian's enemy is ill-advised. But being his ally is definitely more ill-advised.
Here’s my piece for the @trafficzine !! gem, and joel and his car :1
super fun project to work on!!! ^_^
Can we please just appreciate for a second here that mind readers don't exist cause if they did I would never do anything or talk or go anywhere
Nebula talking about Solar: her big doleful eyes and violently self-destructive tendencies have captivated me
Think about it.
both are childhood friends.
eventually overtime their friendship become toxic
Both are transported into strange world,that helps them overcome their toxic relationship.
Both are little gay.
I rest my case.
Evil Anvil has permanently changed my brain chemistry about the ending of limited life
