I definitely need this for a character I'm writing.
Show your character's struggles with holding in emotions. Just because your character won't let themself go in public, doesn't mean they don't struggle holding everything in.
Find a motive. Pride and/or consideration for those around them can make emotionally reserved people hold back more than would be considered good for them. There are other reasons too, perhaps the initial cause and the reason now are different, but try to give them a reason.
Show side-effects. Everything you bottled up shows itself in another way, whether it's physical or mental. This can be long- and short-term, depending on the severity of the emotions.
Give them coping mechanisms. Everyone who wishes not to show certain emotions has a trick or two to keep themselves in check. Taking a sip of water, not looking people in the eyes, clenching their fists, breathing just a bit too deeply.
Write subconscious signs that they give off, which close friends or family might pick on. Just because these characters want to keep their emotions to themselves, doesn't mean they don't give off signs. Some manage to keep said signs well hidden from those closest to them, but it's more common for environment to pick up on something at the very least.
This is so true and funny. 🤣
Attack and Dethrone (ft. Akari, Arceus, Volo and Emmet)
If you’re gonna blame spacetime rifts for Ingo, blame Volo not Arceus
(Personally I think Ingo got Ultra Wormhole’d. And yes Volo thinks Emmet is Ingo with a clean coat)

BLURB:
Instead of Deepnest, the Knight went up through the City of Tears to escape. What would happen but being found and adopted by none other than the Watcher himself. But after the terrible discovery that the adopted has a twin in the White Palace, Lurien has only one desire-get HOME NOW.
SCRIPT: I have no clue how I left the Palace free, when I was shaking in my knees.
I hurried home, silently begging that my worst fears were not true. Certain members of our household would have preferred I was not so silent.
There, in all your imperfections and bedhair, you were perfectly fine. But Nothing was Perfectly Fine.

Thank you all for reading and making it this far. Any form of support would be greatly appreciated.
Lurien does not like to cross paths with the Pale King, because he demands work reports from him (reports that he makes the night before the scheduled delivery of these reports, obviously)
Lurien avoids meetings with the Pale King
Expected reasons: The King is so handsome and inaccessible… Next to him, my heart stops, my thoughts get confused, it's so hard to breathe… I hope he doesn't notice how much I want to kiss him…
The real reasons: Oh no, he's going to ask me about work and how the monthly report is going. I just got out of a drawing binge yesterday, I need an alcoholic binge because of the number of unopened mail, and somehow all the ink ran out in the tower, and the personnel department forgot to buy a new batch of envelopes to send, and I don't know what's going on in the city right now
To hell with Lurien, who is in love with the Pale King, for him he is the boss who makes him work X)
if they ever make Legends Kyrum and we see the two brothers fight with the two dragons, there BETTER be knights riding Scoliopede.
We need another cool rising option besides Zebstrika and Soutland.

Seriously, I woke up to 40 likes, reblogs, and follows. Thank you all for these presents!
This painting is so pretty...🤩

Okay, okay, not for the reasons you think.
You see, Lurien is not like Herrah who gets fiery and hot when she gets angry. Oh no. It's the ice cold anger of a quiet man. Once he's truly mad, you're screwed.
Case in point, the two pictures below.
Or I had too much fun drawing Lurien as a Blue Morpho Butterfly and had to do it with Lurien's cloak on. And honestly, I'm too scared right now to ask Lurien who or what truly pissed him off and I'm the author/artist!
Check out this little guy and support the artist!

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!
