1st person vs 3rd of the same scene. I think about them both a lot but I do find myself more... invested? In 1st person
“You did, but I don’t know if I trust your… reputation to keep up with that.” I snort, shaking my head. “My reputation? I do not think I understand what you are implying, sir.” I can’t help but to hold back the grin that threatens to overtake me, my voice still flat and frustrated. “Rich old man with too much time on his hands, only willing to help when it suits your needs more than anything else.” Ilias’ voice is flat as he continues to glare at me from across the table. I can feel myself go cold and I turn that icy glare towards Ilias who doesn’t back down, which is quite refreshing. Old man? Interesting. Not exactly true, but also perfectly accurate. “Now now, Ilias. You do not believe all the rumors you hear about someone, do you?” There’s some humor in my words as I lean over the table to look at the man. Maybe he’s being a bit of a hypocrite here. It wouldn’t be the first time. “One’s about wealthy bastards from an ancient city, maybe. They typically hold true.” Well, he wishes he could counter that. “...I can not say you are wrong on that front.” I laugh, standing straight once more, letting the genuine humor from Ilias’ words show in my expression and laugh. Ilias huffs and shakes his head, crossing his arms. “Nonetheless, I am still here to help this Institute. It means quite a lot to me, with the research it has done over the years. I am here to help. It is not even on the list of things I would want – for this Institute to fall.” I level a look at Ilias, words serious as I say them. We stare at one another for a moment before Ilias sighs. “Fine. Just don’t act like you’re the most important one here.” I wave a hand. “My reputation? I do not think I understand what you are implying, sir.” Though the man’s voice implies otherwise, he’s holding back a grin. “Rich old man with too much time on his hands, only will help when it suits your needs more than anything else.” The man’s voice is flat as he continues to glare at the man across the table. For a moment there’s a slight temperature drop of the room as Christopher’s expression turns ever so slightly icy. ‘Old man? Yes, but also no.’ “Now now, Ilias. You do not believe all the rumors you hear about someone, do you?” There’s an icy humor in his voice as he leans over the table closer to Ilias. Maybe he’s being a bit of a hypocrite here. It wouldn’t be the first time. “Ones about wealthy pricks from Helimire usually hold true.” He counters. “...Well I can not say you are wrong on that front.” Christopher laughs, his mouth open wide as he does, showing off sharpened canines as he laughs. Standing up straight once again, grin still on his face after a moment. Ilias huffs and shakes his head. “Nonetheless, I am still here to help this Institute. It means quite a lot to me, with the research it does and such things. I am here to help. It is not even on the list of things I would want- for this institute to fall.” Christopher is serious at the end, leveling a look at Ilias. They stare each other down for a moment more before Ilias sighs. “Fine. Just don’t act like you’re the most important one here.” Christopher puts a hand over his heart in mock shock.

Sometimes your main blorbo you draw only exists in your head and he's a gay 40 year old asshole immortal transgender who you made nearly 20 years ago (though he wasn't 40 back then. or even fat. his appearance has changed a decent amount ) #originalcharacter

Venturing back into wearing pants again because I scored with a nice pair today. And the top as well. This whole set cost me like 9 dollars bc the shirt was on sale for 2 (Gabe's my beloved)

Procrastinating my oil painting because I've never mixed skin tones and I've already dropped the monochrome idea early on. I'll push through it bc I'm loving how this is looking (so hard to take a pic but you get the idea)

I rarely get physical copies of books anymore but I got The Vampire Armand (technically my 2nd copy, I think my first got lost in a move) off thriftbooks. I also put Armand in the front of it <3

and a paragraph im just. deeply in love with
“You are a dear.” Christopher says to him, kissing the corner of the man’s mouth as he stands. The two men were casually affectionate, nothing more. Augustine Vizard was his dearest friend, his tailor, and a willing bed-mate for a handful of years at this point in their friendship. Augustine held no need for romantic affection and Christopher was content with the relationship they had with one another. The both of them were extravagant man, Augustine slightly more than he himself and the man held fascinating parties and gatherings whenever it fancied him. Sometimes even at a moments notice. One of them were held the night before and it had been the first time Christopher had been that inebriated in quite some time. It was nice to let go, on occasion.
