I Can't Write But Have This

Stupid soulmate string idea rattling in my head for a few weeks now Bonus points for gods being unable to see soulmate strings, so Narinder never sees his until he’s usurped

Medieval Europeans, despite their reputation as a filthy society, also bathed pretty regularly, often in public baths that were located near bakeries (so that they could use the waste heat from the ovens to warm up the water. Here’s a European bath depicted by Albrecht Durer (apparently you could chug a beer while bathing — very efficient!):

Bathing, from ancient times to today

Thousands of years of pinning latter

Does Narinder need a bath?

So so bad (I lost the plot on this one gays)

For the longest time Narinder refuses to allow anyone to touch him but at the same time suffers mobility issues preventing him from taking care of himself.

Anyway if I keep doing this shit the aromantic council is gonna show up at my doorstep and revoke my right to practice. My demons are winning rn.

"Despite everything, it's still you. Right?"

Lamb would be utterly petrified if they saw their younger self. How are you supposed to explain that they will become the supposed last of their kind, suffer many deaths, and then become the god of death themself? Lamb wishes that they could have a moment where they could be weak and innocent again like their younger self. But, a god cannot show any weakness. After all, they chose this path...right?

Get hit early with some quick edginess after fluff >:D

I kinda got surprised by how quickly I could finish this on clipstudio. Guess it has just been a long while since I've used it (coloring is so much easier for me on it than Procreate I stg)
