perseus 🪼🪸

on the cover, Damen and Laurent face opposite directions, showcasing their disconnect, yet both remain inside the cage-like window space: laurent on a red fabric, and damen, reduced to his new position on the ground. The regent's red curtain frames them, and on the stained glass, two birds dream of soaring in the sky. Damen is mostly in the shadows, the light on his back only a memory, while Laurent, while still under the light, has the inevitable looming shadow of his elaborate cage over him. Though Laurent holds Damen's golden leash, the chain silently binds him, too. Framing them, the star banner is covered in the regent's red: Tattered on the right, a crumbling memento of Laurent's father and brother, and on the left, a new banner, Laurent's own, still waiting for his time to be in the light. On the back cover, a bloody scene; a testament of what happened to damen and his guard: the statue, inspired by a sophocles reading of laoconte, representing damen with his head broken off as a symbol of his position being striped off him, by his own brother, for having fallen in love with the wrong person, and his guard brutally murdered, all traces of him and the truth erased for the people of Akielos. In the background, the frieze foreshadows Damen's return, a tale to be told in the coming books.

on the cover, Damen and Laurent (with longer hair due to their journey) face the same direction, their goals finally starting to allign. On each side, swords and war maps dictate the path ahead while both are lost in a now-common, yet borderline special ceremony between them; the undressing of laurent, either of his clothes or his emotional armor against damen, while damen gets lost in the action, a representation of his slow, newfound appreciation for Laurent as the individual he comes to know. Instead of a cage, their shared tent: a fragile construction between them. All that separates them from the fire and freedom is a delicate veil now. On the table, a glass of wine sits alone, a representation of their tentative intimacy in this moment of their relationship. On the table, a war game: laurent's few numbers against the regent, but behind him, a secret backup none yet know about. On the back cover, the very end of the book: Jord watches as Nikandros, Damen's loyal friend and Laurent's secret weapon, come to keep his end of their agreement. Laurent's star shine under the sun on both the standard and the shield: not all is lost.

On the cover, Laurent and Damen during the okton - both in the light, their flags sitting together covering each other's back. An activity where they both compete for their own glory, but finally face it as kings, here doubling as a representation of their last stretch towards their common goal: a fierce struggle where the earth rises, but does so under their power and speed; if it might get out of their control at times, it is something they will face side by side as equals. In front of them, Pallas has his own fun during the event moments before the unexpected happens. Behind them all, near the two thrones, Nikandros and Makedon carefully watch both kings. On the back cover, all embark on an dangerous and exciting mission through slim odds and the watchful gaze of guards, but on the corner, a vision of the future: the blue bird (Laurent), finally free of it's golden cage, leaves the regent red covers behind and perks on the lion's (Damen) head to watch over them in this adventure on their new kingdom as a new spring rapidly blooms around them under the bright sky.

On the cover, Damen and Laurent's coronation. People of the two nations mingle while Charls the merchant is shocked at Lamen's audacity of dressing as the King. Laurent and Damen, though at the moment of Damen's introduction to Charls, are momentarily lost in their own little world. On the back cover, Berenger concludes that Luxury does suit Ancel. While ancel is covered in priceless emeralds and surrounded in expensive furniture, flower petals still cover his space: a soft reminder of Berenger's more humble showcase of his feelings. On their suitcase a horseshoe is wrapped around by a flower: the unexpected growth of love between people who couldn't be more different. As day turns into night, A memory unfold as Jord and Aimeric kiss under the cover of darkness. Aimeric gives himself only partially, his left hand holding the secret of his betrayal. With his hand on his waist, Jord doesn't know the strained red thread he innocently seeks to untie is that of the regent, and uknown to him, a lace that is tragically woven too deep to be undone.

black and white nsfw sketch of vash and wolfwood from trigun max. vash is in his usual outfit while wolfwood’s pants are missing, wearing messily his jacket and dress shirt. from a third’s view from behind, vash has a hand on wolfwood’s thigh, near the back of his knees, and has wolfwood’s right leg lifted to keep his legs spread while he fucks him. wolfwood’s right hand is clenched, the side of his hand pressed against the wall. his left hand is steadying itself on top of the punisher, which is leaning against the wall too, in front of wolfwood. both their eyes are closed, cheeks flushed, wolfwood leaning his head against the punisher, face close enough to reflect off of it, and vash’s chin rests against the bare of wolfwood’s shoulder, from where the jacket and shirt has been slightly pulled down from. the punisher also reflects the front view of where vash enters wolfwood, a front row seat to the action.

your life is not an optimization problem - as in you'll never achieve the perfect daily routine, sleep schedule, coping mechanisms, mannerisms, fashion sense etc. even after years and years of healing and improvement and self-discovery. you will never be so good at life that you manage to utilize every waking moment. its great to be productive and all but sometimes you'll suck ass. sometimes you'll take eight hours to be done with a twenty minute job. you'll prioritize the wrong thing. you'll sleep for 12 hrs just to avoid being awake. you'll relapse. and you'll relapse again. you'll forget to turn in the assignment. you'll order too little food. life is far too large and complex for you to even experience it completely, much less try to make sense of and control it. you can't. please give up on that and be at peace with the hours you lose. they are not separate from your life.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

Viktor, from Arcane, in three different outfits with frills, lace and a shiny dress, wearing different sets of jewelry.

*coughs* Um, hi, I'm alive! 👀💖 Happy new year! I give you some pretty Viktor because I've been obsessing about Arcane. #viktor #arcane #jayvik

A painting of a teal anthro ram dressed in a green robe, with a magenta cat at their side. The ram is holding a scale with a smaller ram in it. The piece is abstract and includes other details such as a tree, wasp, and fish.

The same painting, but under UV light in daylight, showcasing the UV reactive paints.

The same painting, under a different UV light, fluorescing strongly.

a stylized piece featuring Wolfwood and Vash drawn in shades of blue with accents of red and orange. Wolfwood is drawn from the chest upwards, leaning on his elbow with a small wooden bird in hand and cigarette in the other. over his right shoulder there is the long and fluttering form of vash with his coat, feathers spilling from his arm as he holds his pistol. he carries wolfwoods punisher behind his back. behind them both the silhouette of the hopeland steeple rises into the sky. Surrounding the characters at various points in the image are the shapes of confettti, bullets, vials, a white couch, and a cracked coin.

Tiger hill stream loach!!! I have two of them in my tank :))

Made some valentine's day arcane stickers! Do y'all think I should draw any more ships for this series :3 #caitvi #jayvik

A lamen digital doodle, with rough brushstrokes. Laurent leans towards Damen's ear to say "I can end this any time I like? I haven’t even begun"; Tribute to a scene in book 1 of Captive Prince (although liberties have been taken). It was almost the "flithy painted slut" scene, but not yet. We'll get there.

"I can end this any time I like? I haven’t even begun."
(Some love for book 1!Laurent 🐍)

First post on here :3 #arcane #jayvik

Fic cover. Damen dancing with Laurent, dressed as a slave. They are sword fighting. Laurent is angry, and Laurent enamoured.

It's been a long time coming

Reverse #lamen AU exploring how a single divergence – Laurent forced into slavery instead of being the prince – could radically transform the original narrative

forgetting your headphones at home is the modern equivalent of leaving your sword behind in medieval times

Yes they areeee, my bf was talking about how he wanted more people to make capri art and I was like… I can do that.

Caught

Fanart for Captive Prince a book by C.S.Pacat: Laurent and Damen sit at a banquet table that is filled with delicious food like roasted chicken, potatoes, vegetables, grapes , and also candles. On Damen's left side sits Nicaise who is grinning viciously and stabbing Damen with a fork in the leg. Damen reacts surprised but catches Nicaise's arm with his hand but a little bit too late. Laurent looks over seemingly uninterested. In the background a server is bringing a basket with bread.

The fork incident ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#captiveprince #caprisky

It's that time again

Alternate Universe of Captive Prince. Damen is laying in an armchair sleeping with a book on his chest in the library. He wear casual clothing. 18 year old Nicaise is kneeling behind the chair and is trying to sneakily drop an insect into Damen's collar. Laurent is just coming into the door and is surprised and shocked (in a funny way) to what Nicaise is trying to do with the insect.

"I think it's time he moves out."🐛 (Nicaise would definitely stay a gremlin even if he's all grown up.)

Digital painting of Joker from Persona 5 sitting in a laundromat. The perspective is warped. He holds a black glove in his hand. The shadow of an unseen figure falls on a nearby dryer.

Digital painting of Joker and Akechi from Persona 5 at an aquarium. The brush strokes are rough and the lighting is very blue. The two of them watch a school of fish cluster together in the tank.
