Hello!!

Thank you so much for saying so, that's so kind of you!! I'm actually always very self conscious of being too wobbly and messy with my lines, so that makes me very happy to hear!

As for what I use, I exclusively paint on clip studio now, if you can get it on sale (which it often is on) it's more than worth the price and is fairly easy to use. I used sai for a long time back in the day so if you have access to that, I'll always recommend it too!

In clip studio I use a variety of brushes nowadays but originally I'd just use the round brush, which still works wonders for me honestly! My most recent wrny was done with varying versions of 'bong pen' (https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1783228), and anything that looks more textured/pencil-like was probably from this set (https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1911413) or the SU-cream pencil (https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1761353)

These are my main brushes lately!

Personally, I love to have a bit of a taper on the end of my lines so I do often adjust for that within the settings, but i'm not an expert on all that and am still trialing things myself - and it's really all down to preference anyway!!

I hope that was what u wanted to know! ty for stopping by 💕

Hello!! Now this is juicy 👁️

For me, I think most often (because sometimes it really depends!!) I like Wriothesley falling first and Lyney being in denial for a LONG time - because it's /Wriothesley/, who Lyney sees as some annoying, know-it-all, kind of bad guy but also never actually really a bad guy. It's a lot of baggage for Lyney to get through, I think. There's initial attraction but he'd convince himself it's just shallow, until suddenly it isn't, because when did Wriothesley get so easy to rely on, and so sweet, and so, everything else.

I like the idea though that Wriothesley thinks it's not that deep too until one day Lyney half reciprocates his flirting or touches and he's like, oh shit i'm really in it now akhdnfjkhfn

OFFICE ROMANCE.... I think it'd be SO cute actually. Alhaitham who never really wants to do anything except what he wants to (not because he's lazy, he just prioritizes) but remains infuriatingly good at everything anyway, bothering Kaveh at his desk while he rushes all his deadlines, taking on far more work than is humanly possible - which of course Alhaitham now insists on working on, too. He is BEGGING Alhaitham to go bother somebody else, but this junior would never do such a thing, if there's one thing he does well it's playing favorites lmao. Sometimes he's nice and just silently watches Kaveh work from afar. AND IF THEY'RE ROOMMATES.... Kaveh and Alhaitham taking it in turns to make lunches so of course most of the time they're the same, at first Kaveh tries to pretend it's not but whenever they sit down with everyone EVERYTHING matches and it's just so obvious, and sometimes Alhaitham makes everything alarmingly lovey-dovey on purpose

EVERYONE in that office is suffering watching these two every day; some people think they're just work husbands, some people think they're ACTUALLY husbands, nobody really knows the truth - not even them ajkdhdcjkd

HELLO I TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWER BECAUSE THIS IDEA MADE ME INSANE AND THEN I FELL ASLEEP

anon u have no idea what this does to me, a greek myth nerd to the core, i have had this thought SO MANY TIMES. I agree that it'd make a great fic, and I have definitely seen it thrown around a few times in the wild - and beautiful art made of it - honestly with the way u wrote this ask...... i'd read it if u wrote it too..... 🧍

My thoughts on the au are that it is soooo perfect. Kaveh wanting to leave his mark on the world, but also wanting to ease a loneliness he can't quite admit to having, to himself or to others; making this ideal man (in form) but who cannot speak to him. In a way it's good, his ideals can't be questioned nor his motives but the more he works on him, the more time he spends molding that strong brow or long nose, carving every tall inch into a person, he just longs for him more to be vocal and real and alive. And some days it feels like he /is/, and his eyes are so bright even in their emptiness, and he's never felt the same kind of yearning tension looking into real shining irises as he does in this marble now, like it's looking right back. Maybe Kaveh is going insane but also maybe so am I you know because RAAAHHHH I need it sm akdjhfdkh

Also yes so true, the bed would never survive akjhbnfjfghf but fr, any greek myth idea gets me going WILD, unhinged, mad etcetcetc tysm for sending me this I am ascending into the sky as i type this reply bless

Hello!!! This is such a good thing to think about i love their little family... (I am also assuming the hoh is for house of the hearth akjdkfmhf i am so sorry if not, ALSO SORRY I WROTE A LOT)

I think the obvious one to start with is how well the other two know Lyney beyond his persona - they know where the cracks will start to show, they can read through the energy to pinpoint the moment it's too much. Even though of course he thinks they can't - and there are definitely things they don't know, putting himself through hell so they don't have to - and they'll let him push himself to some extent before they step in, just to keep him from putting distance between them.

For Lynette and Freminet it's almost the opposite, it's all about noticing when they CAN push themselves more but they're too reserved to do so, whilst also maintaining that safety around them, letting them know it's okay to be shy (more so for freminet), or to just prefer keeping to yourself, but that putting yourself out there is also important at times - just think of all the people they'd never have met if they didn't. I think, as siblings, they can truly bring out the best in one another and they work so well together, too. I think that'd be the main way they show they care, with little consistent acts that just read as support, without question, they're just always there.

Freminet is of course spoiled by the older two, though he tries not to be, that's their baby brother 😤 I think they'd argue over things like that though too. Freminet's insecurities probably make him feel as if he's not on level footing with the twins, and their desperation to make him think differently would cause some slight friction at times, like overcompensating leading to a little explosion of tension. It never lasts too long though! I like to imagine after the things they've been through they can be surprisingly good at communicating when it's about things pertaining only to the 3 of them.

They'd also fight over silly things, like siblings do - Freminet probably hates things being moved from where he had them, his routine being put off-kilter; Lyney totally takes up too much of the couch AND the blankets, and even though he's so put together he's always leaving things on the floor, or where they shouldn't be; Lynette can't stand loud noises all day and night, and not to mention how many times I'm sure the other two have eaten her last bit of dessert, accidentally and on purpose (brothers am i right).

Dynamic wise I love the idea that they're just, incredibly close all around. I feel like there is a lack (in game and out) of them as a trio sometimes, or it doesn't go quite as in depth as I'd like. I really just love the aspect of the twins seeing Freminet as the third one of their little set without question, and Fremi has two older siblings who would blatantly do anything for him. The twins are of course almost oddly in tune, but after so long with them it's impressive how on their frequency Freminet is, too.

I also think Lyney is blanket patrol at home, despite how he keeps it all it to himself when he's awake. Lynette and Freminet fall asleep anywhere except their beds because Lynette loves to nap and Freminet never manages to sleep normally with his anxiety, so Lyney always makes sure they're tucked up all toasty and warm to make the most of it.

I ALSO just KNOOOW they're all accidentally bringing home the same cake or tea, ending up with three of everything because they knew the other two would like it. They're stacked with little treats because of it lmao. It makes me sad to think of their past but so happy to know the three of them have each other no matter what, I JUST LOVE THEM !!!

(insert this is fine dog somewhere in here) I'm having a time certainly!! I hope you're doing okay too akdjkckjfjh

INCHERESTING... hm HM HM..... For Alhaitham I think he absolutely wouldn't ever stop being annoying (affectionate) but he'd indulge him even more easily than usual, at least in everything except overworking - no work allowed on your birthday. But things like Kaveh casually mentioned that this kind of coffee or wine or snack is his favorite a few weeks ago, Alhaitham ordered enough of it for the other to live off of for the year lmao Kaveh's birthday is all about having him do everything he's been putting off for himself in favor of doing things for others, like resting, or visiting places, viewing art, seeing his friends - just having FUN.
He'd probably take Kaveh to any architectural landmarks or museums or lectures he hadn't experienced yet, or any he just wants to witness again, letting him marvel at them and talk Alhaitham's ear off mostly uninterrupted (because we ALL know Kaveh enjoys a little friendly debate every now and then too) - essentially he'd just turn up his adoring nature to 11.
It is of course also a must to get him his favorite food all day, and not let him deflect any of the affection he so deserves. He'll kiss him all over when they're home and snuggle and cuddle and be silly until they're all gross and sweaty from holding each other for too long and too tight in the middle of summer.

For Kaveh it's kind of the same but less overt in a way, there's no big dinners or friends or going out. Alhaitham's not the kind of person to want a big show made about him, but Kaveh knows what it's like to not have people there for you to celebrate the days that matter even a little bit. So he'd get all his favorites too, things Alhaitham probably forgot were even his own favorite lmao Kaveh definitely has the personality to remember things from years and years ago, but never over play them until suddenly you're sitting there nostalgic for this thing you'd fully forgotten existed.
They'd lounge ALL day because Alhaitham's sleepy after working and reading, and the sun is bright even in february and he never stops being obsessed with falling asleep with his cheek squished on Kaveh's chest, or vice versa, and because Kaveh knows deep down Alhaitham's favorite thing (and his) is just being together 🥺
Alhaitham's birthday is hard for Kaveh because it's just a day of trying not to let Alhaitham flip it into him spoiling Kaveh instead, they're just wrestling for treat dominance lmao
Kaveh like, but it's your birthday so I spoil YOU, and Alhaitham hits him with the well it's my birthday so I can do what I want and I want to do the spoiling - they're insufferable tbh 😔

OHHHHH i think it'd be more calm/casual than anything!! All of it!

I (personally) think while Kaveh likes extravagance in his buildings and his outfits, he's really looking for stability in life, and things he can really count on and keep a hold of after losing so much - which is very Alhaitham, reliable even if sharp. I think they'd have the kind of proposal where it's a surprise, but a sweet one, like even almost sleepy. Just something so acutely for them. AND THEIR WEDDING..... also probably small, for friends and those they consider family. I think there'd be a lot of flowers and embroidered fabrics and softness for a dream-like feel, but it'd still be simple and short and focused more on the coming together of everyone they love, and them just loving one another, than anything huge and party-like (though i'd love that for them too, spoiling each other with extravagance for a day)

Their honeymoon... would just be crazy ******* *** for 24 hours **** **** constant *** ***** *** * *****😌

i am only half joking akhndjff I think it'd be very romantic, half spent somewhere else - near the sea maybe for the relaxing vibes, and then half at home but they just never go out until the dates they told everyone are over, basking in it really truly being THEIR home for the rest of their lives together!!!

Hello! Good question akhdfjkhf i had to give it a good think

I think it's a popular one but I really love the headcanon that Lyney really lets himself go around Wriothesley - like he doesn't put on any of the act for him, whether it's because he doesn't like him at first or because he just knows Wrio has seen the worst of him already anyway, and he's still there!! This kind of feeds into the hc that Lyney really only lets a few people 'take care' of him, just his family and Wriothesley in my mind. He's one of those people that just gets where Lyney's motives come from, and so even when they're at their worst he can let his guard down enough to be spoiled a little. This is why I love the romantically tending wounds trope for them because they both would go to one another to avoid worrying others but really it's because they know the other will understand, without judgement, and if they have to hurt they'd want to hurt with them.

I also am a firm visually impaired/blind wrio believer, so I like to drop that into my wrioney too, like maybe lyney is one of the few people that knows but he's long since given up trying to take advantage of it for any of his little plans - and he can't, anyway, because Wriothesley is always 5 steps ahead of whatever he's doing lmao and he's always helping him out with little things without ever mentioning it.

little tidbits are: they're both fans of piercings so they like each others or get them together; i think wrio falls first but lyney falls harder; i think lyney has less but more overt jealous moments while wrio has more of them but in calmer ways - think silent treatment or an argument vs silently grabbing his waist in public; i think wrio is secretly a good dancer and when lyney is down or mad he'll give him a little twirl and a dip out of nowhere and make him laugh with how silly it is. 🥺
