Baby, You Should See Me In The SKY // Sketchbook Pro & Photoshop (★)

for @mrs-pants47 , here ya go!

I hope you like it!

for @mrs-pants47 (it’s not letting me tag you :/) who asked for hannah/kim bowling au. i hope this is something like what you had in mind!

Hannah hates this stupid game, she decides, as she watches yet another one of her balls speed past the pins and into the gutter. She’s good at sports, always has been, but bowling is something she completely fails to grasp. Maybe it’s the tinny music blaring from the speakers, distracting her, or maybe it’s the ill-fitting shoes that smell far too strongly of antiseptics, or the obnoxious hooting from the group of high school boys a few lanes down. Whatever it is, Hannah hates it and she wants to leave.

Kim shakes her head and smiles when Hannah tells her as much. “You’ve only played three rounds, you’re not going to get it right away. Especially if you don’t stop to aim.”

"I aim," Hannah says, and immediately regrets it. She sounds enough like a bratty child already. It’s only the third date, far too soon to let herself act this way in front of Kim.

But Kim doesn’t seem fazed by it, and she doesn’t stop smiling. She stands up, grabs an orange ball, and walks up to Hannah. “Let me show you.”

Hannah opens her mouth to protest, it’s Kim’s turn after all, but then Kim has already handed her the bowling ball. She grasps Hannah’s hand, molding it into the right position. Instead of letting go when she’s done, she lets her hand trail down Hannah’s arm, linger at her elbow. Even through her shirt, Hannah feels warm from the touch, and it makes her flush lightly.

"The lane slopes, so you need to aim a little to the left," Kim tells her. "And for God’s sake, relax. This is supposed to be fun, it’s not a competition."

Hannah smiles. “You’re only saying that because you’re winning.”

"Damn straight. Now go for it."

Heaving a deep sigh, Hannah turns back to the lane. She narrows her eyes at the pins, standing stubbornly vertical, and throws the ball with as much force as she can.

It swerves too far to the left this time, landing in the gutter only halfway down the lane.

"I’m terrible," Hannah laments.

"You just need practice," Kim says. "If it’s any consolation, I’m kind of relieved to find out you’re not perfect in every way.”

Hannah looks to her right. Kim is grinning up at her, eyes glinting. “Really?”

"Really." Kim grabs her elbow again and pulls her down for a kiss. It’s a brief peck, but it still has Hannah’s heart doing loops in her chest. "And I promise, next time you get to pick where we go."

Hannah and Kim are two of the newest crew members for sensation Gwen Campbell’s TV show. The two women are quick to strike up a tentative friendship while they navigate long hours. Kim’s compassionate nature soon leads to Hannah developing romantic feelings for her friend. She thinks it’s best to not say anything until shooting’s over, but Kim’s quick to notice her affections and suggests they might as well try dating sooner than later.

Sorry this took so long to answer, hope it was worth the wait!!

Thank you for the prompt either way :)

“C'mon, Hannah, you’d love it,” Cas encouraged as they walked over to the auditorium. Nervously, Hannah shuffled her alongside Castiel, not too eager to join him. For weeks, he’d been begging her to join the Queer Club, but Hannah had politely declined every time. Sometimes it was apin how pursuasive Cas could be.

“I’m not going to fit in,” Hannah sighed, looking at some of the other kids walking towards the theatre. Cas was taking them there early, to introduce Hannah to some of his friends, but there were still other people turning up. Cas stopped them both in the hallway, grabbing hold of of both of Hannah’s delicate hands.

“Han, they accept gender queer people, they accept ace aro people, you’re gonna be fine, alright?” Cas smiled gently, squeezing her hands. “Please, just come with me.” Sighing, Hannah bit her lip and carried on walking to the auditorium.

There were about 300 seats in the theatre, and about ten of them were filled with various groups of students just milling around. Hannah’s eyes scanned the seats, searching for someone she knew. On the third row, Sam Winchester was sat talking to a girl with brown hair that was pinned up. She knew him as one of Cas’ friends, and was glad she had someone to talk to beside Castiel.

As she turned to the front, Hannah found herself face to face with a red head wearing a Harry Potter shirt. She had a broad smile on her face.

“Hey! I’m Charlie, you’re Hannah, right?” Charlie greet excitedly. Without warning, she pulled Hannah into a strong hug. “I run the club, with my girlfriend - Dorothy.” Charlie pointed to the girl sat beside Sam, who winked when she saw Charlie looking at her. Seemingly swooning, Charlie placed her hand on her heart and smiled gratefully.

“Yes, I’m Hannah,” she smiled brightly at Charlie. “Cas finally convinced me to come.” Charlie laughed loudly, slapping her hand on Hannah’s upper arm. Behind her, Cas started chortling too.

Soon, both straightened up. Some things were happening around them, more people turning up and the projector screen was lowering. Dorothy yelled something to Charlie about starting up, and she nodded in reply.

“So we don’t expect you to come out right away, it doesn’t matter what you identify as but we’d rather you be comfortable before telling us anything,” Charlie explained quietly, while someone else flciked the projector on. “But, if you’re okay with it, would you like to introduce yourself to the rest of the guys.”

Hannah shakily nodded, looking around at the growing audience. There weren’t many more people than when they first came in, but it was still pretty large crowd. She was nervous to speak in front of them all, but Cas said they were all nice people. It would be nice to have a lot of friends.

In the front row, there was a girl with a round face and dark hair tied up in a pony tail, smiling as she chatted to some others. Hannah’s heart skipped a beat as she looked on. The girl, whoever she was, was beautiful. She caught herself staring as Castiel coughed loudly at her. When Hannah turned to face him, she found a suggestive smirk on his face.

“That’s Kim,” Cas nodded towards the girl. “She’s the one that organises all the outings. Her family own the auto shop on the east of town, they’ve got a mini bus they let us borrow.” Though Cas’ information was generally relevant, Hannah stopped listening after Kim’s name was revealed. Kim. Her name fitted her look so perfectly, Hannah couldn’t believe. Hannah’s staring was soon interrupted again, this time by Charlie who was now holding a mic.

“Hannah, move this way a bit,” Charlie whispered, gesturing to the centre of the stage. Once her and Hannah were in the spotlight, Charlie nodded and the microphone clicked on with a soft humming of feedback. Everyone suddenly stopped their conversations to look to the front. “Hey guys, so we’ll get the meeting under way in a second, but first I’d like to introduce Hannah.” As the students began to clap, Charlie passed the mic to Hannah.

“Hi, I’m Hannah,” she said. The situation was extremely overwhelming and she couldn’t think of a single thing to say about herself. Nervously laughing, Hannah’s eyes swept the audience, hoping inspiration would strike. Then her eyes settled on Kim, and she found confidence from somewhere in the back of her mind. “I’m Cas’ friend, from when we were younger. I like playing chess, musicals, gardening. Carmilla is my favourite show, well web series. I’m not really that interesting, but I would like to make friends with you guys.”

The audience applauded. Hannah quickly handed the mic back to Charlie before skulking to the third row, where Cas had chosen to sit. Charlie continued the rest of the presentation with the help of Dorothy. She wasn’t really paying attention, so she had no idea what was really happening.

It surprised her when Dorothy suddenly yelled about bringing out the drinks.

People had divided up into social groups again, leaving Hannah awkwardly trailing behind Castiel. Sam was also with them, talking to Cas about some sort of video game that had just come out. Not interested, Hannah found herslef with nothing to do until Charlie walked over with Dorothy in tow. Dorothy offered Hannah a paper cup with orange dilute in it.

“So how are you liking things so far?” Charlie asked, before taking a bite of a biscuit. Hannah nodded, gazing straight at Kim as she mimed something. Charlie followed her line of sight, smirking when she saw what she was staring at.

“Yeah, I’m really liking the whole thing,” Hannah replied absently, eyes still trained on Kim. With raised eyebrows, Charlie jabbed Hannah’s arm, finally capturing Hannah’s full attention.

“Go talk to her,” Charlie smiled. Jaw gaping as she tried to protest, Hannah shook her head with a firm no.

“She’s not scary,” Dorothy laughed. Hannah blushed, her face turning a deep shade of red. She was about to turn around and run away when Dorothy yelled up. “Kim, we need logistics!”

Kim was there within a second, same wide grin still plastered on her face. Dorothy kept Kim talking for a few seconds, asking about the minibus while Charlie kept Hannah still by holding her hand. Once Dorothy had finished her speech, she gently pushed Kim towards Hannah and slipped away, closley followed by Charlie, then Sam, then Cas. Hannah was the only one left.

“Hey, you’re the new kid, aren’t you,” Kim raised her eyebrows, looking Hannah up and down. She felt slightly self concious and pulled her sleeves down over her hands. “It’s cool you like chess. My Grandpa taught me to play, but I don’t like playing competitively.” Hannah nodded, so nervous she couldn’t speak.

They stood for a few minutes in awkward silence, but Kim made no effort to move away. Hannah could feel her face of fire, guessing her cheeks were glowing red. After a while, Kim slowly slided closer to Hannah, and soon their bodies were touching at the side. Hannah took a deep breath.

“Do you want to go out with me sometime?” She muttered, not looking Kim in the eye. Frowning, Kim gingerly pulled Hannah’s chin until they were facing each other.

“I’d love to,” Kim smirked. Fingers still clasping Hannah’s face, Kim leaned in a placed a wet kiss on the tip of her nose. “I’ll pick you up Saturday at 7?” Hannah eagerly nodded, face cooling as she calmed a little. Kim kissed her once more on the cheek, before winking and bounding to another group of friends. Hannah didn’t even realise, still reveling in the faint press of lipstick on her cheek.

Queer club had been worth it after all.

Awhile ago, I did a speed paint of Carol Danvers in her new Captain Marvel costume. The piece earned such a positive response that I figured I ought to do it again - but with some real time and effort. Here’s the result. This was also a lesson reinforced. Back your stuff up! A computer failure could have caused me to lose weeks of work, but fortunately an automatic back-up averted a major disaster. In the end, I only had to redo her hair. I’m sure it was better the second time around anyway. I had good practice! It’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve done any digital painting in this level of detail. I have to say… it feels pretty good.

Part two of Embrace the uncertainty, I did finally named it. You can read part one and two on AO3: 

The heat doesn’t subside until sundown. That makes the search for food easier with a graceful breeze against Hannah’s slides. The music is turning into in a chilling wave that places Hannah in balance, but distracts them from their quest. Makes them focus on people cheering in the distance. Neon flashes among the crowd. They trace the electric movements to find a sense of order. It doesn’t make sense. Unsure if it is choreograph or just random. Why would it matter? Hannah questions. It makes the people happy. Brings people together to forget. To chill. Why Hannah came here. A place to welcome chaos and peace. To accept that order isn’t everything that she thought. They can let in the unplanned and unexpected. Hannah can embrace the uncertainty of life.
