backlogs backlogs backlogs. Here’s the full version of this (2024), posted only now since the zine has been through a production hell and got released somewhere down the line when i looked away. This is unlike anything i draw now but i wanted to share this anyway, for posterity or something. This john is so distinctly yaoiful
Beneath the clouds of the twilight sky, in Metro City where snow falls deeply❄️ In front of the brightly lit convenience store There was Sonic, alone, savoring the greatest delicacy of the season🥢
In the hollow where bone-chilling cold air gathers The white steam of piping hot oden sways with his breath
The warm, delicious happiness that seeps into the body spreads to all who see it🌃
you never see cross-fandom shipping anymore. there should be horrible discourse about chilchuck x karkat
for real though chilchuck would be way better for karkat than dave and it would give dave an existential crisis. karkat needs structure and drive but dave is just like a hang out dude, which karkat is fine with until he meets an adult man who is employed and realizes that being 26 isn’t the same as being an adult. dave would be in absolute shambles and move out onto jade’s couch and she would be super attracted to him but he’s just not looking for that kind of thing right now….
the party meets chilchuck’s new boyfriend at an alternian-style bbq and laios becomes obsessed with sampling all the different flavors of grubsauce
LAIOS: And the pails are for what exactly?
KANAYA: The Collection And Mixture Of Genetic Material That Is Processed Through The Mother Grub Into Millions Of Eggs
LAIOS: Wow!! Has anyone ever tried adding non-troll DNA to the slurry?
ROSE: I understand you’re a student of the dark arts, Marcille.
MARCILLE: Hey, they’re only called that because of short-sighted elven laws! Magic is just magic.
ROSE: Oh trust me, I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I may have dabbled once or twice in the practice of forbidden majyyks myself. Have you ever seen the birth of a universe?
MARCILLE: N-No?
ROSE: Would you like to?
JANE: –and then you whisk until the egg forms peaks when you lift it up, like this see?
SENSHI: Mm mmm.
JANE: But the real chef’s secret to a meringue is this, my patented Crockercorp Lemonator Concentrate. The essence of 10,000 lemons in a single drop!
SENSHI: That would pair very well with living armor, perhaps in a soup made of dragon bone broth…
JOHN: i like your cat! she gets annoyed when i stop scratching her chin haha.
MARCILLE: That’s weird… Usually Izutsumi only lets girls pet her…
