I looked up from staring at the floor during one of my patented Depressive Episode in confusion to see Slim sitting at my laptop, hands tented in front of his face as he glared at the screen.
“What?” I asked, even though I guess I’m kinda a god or something in this reality and already knew what he was thinking.
He sat back in the chair, pointing one finger at the screen. It was his middle finger, and I pretended that it was because it was the longest one and not because he was trying to be rude. Even though I knew he was trying very, very hard to be an asshole. Same, dude.
“I do deserve better. I am better than- than this.” He gestured to himself and the aura of shitpost around him. I hummed in thought.
“Alright. If that’s what you want.”
He nodded firmly. Yes, it was very much what he wanted. With a shrug, I turned back to staring at my wall and the small holes from pins I had used to hang posters up once. Mostly of Hunger Games memorabilia. Gale is better than Peeta. I honestly don’t even remember how to spell Peepa’s name.
Anyways.
The aura around him started to shift, lifting up into the air and swirling like a cloud, only for Slim to choke and immediately grab it, yanking it back down onto himself. I raised a brow. “What? Does it sustain you or something?”
He gasped for breath. “No, I just-” he looked up at me. Tears were glimmering in the corners of his sockets. “What the hell was that entitlement? Why the hell was I a horny, whimpering dog?!” I shrugged, but he kept going, not seeming to seek a response. “Why is everyone seemingly okay with me being a cowardly piece of shit with no personality or character depth.”
I took a sip of the cherry cola I was apparently holding. “Porn.”
“Oh, okay!” He stood, brushing himself off and pulling a joint from one of his pockets. “I’m totally chill with that.”
I nodded. Yeah, me too. I took another sip of my soda. The characterization was honestly entirely up to the individual, despite my personal preferences.
The entitlement was entirely my own.
“You know I had to do it to ‘em,” I muttered into my drink. Slim sent me a confused look but didn’t ask for clarification, completely unaware of the shit storm that was gathering in the distance, readying to rain hellfire and agony down upon my favorite.
Characters never know what hits them when you both project onto them and fucking despise your personality at the same time.
I was going to break him.
Ollie, you’re awesome, and I love you and your shitposts.
And fuck if I’m not a little afraid for Slim right now. Poor boy.
I lost it at the deadpan “Porn.” This is brilliant, Ollie (and now I’m afraid for this innocent skeleton’s life).
Finally frikking done! This is one of the pics from those wips I posted not that long ago, and I put way too much effort into this when I hadn’t planned to, it was just supposed to be something quick but here we are a couple of weeks later after I first sketched it up xD I just had a need a couple of weeks ago to draw him wearing one of those big tunics shirts thingies and a scarf, and so I did and this turned out pretty good I have to say!
Especially happy with the shirt itself and the hat, which I actually own myself it’s on my head this very moment, had to take it off to use as a reference as I was colouring it, really like how it turned out though it could be a bit brighter, the scarf could had turned out better but since I just used a random image of some uh… fuck what is it called again, plaid fucking plaid is the name! because drawing it from scratch is such a god damn pain! the scarf is supposed to be one of those palestina scarves or whatever they are called, the “emo” scarves though I skipped to put those end thingies, the braids tassels thingies as I just couldn’t be bothered and because it would had taken even longer to finish it so I decided to skip it! Not so happy with those leggings tho they could look better too and I had to redraw those hands from scratch on SAI tho, as I couldn’t figure out how I had drawn them on my sketch and I am still a bit unhappy with them, like do you even hold your phone like that?? I dunno too late now it is done and I am happy with his pic!
Also I just want to mention before someone might come and point it out that I know this pic looks hella similar to THIS pic by theslowestnery who I am not going to tag as I don’t want to disturb them about this etc, but I had made the sketch for my pic a couple of days before they even posted it so I did not take their idea or anything like that! just a frikking coincidence that the two of us ended up drawing two very similar pics is all xD
