I Finally Have Access To An IPad, So Heres My First Ever Procreate Sketch. Of Course Its Heronchild.

I finally have access to an iPad, so here’s my first ever Procreate sketch. Of course it’s Heronchild.

James drew back enough to smooth Matthew‘s hair away from his forehead. „Have you wished me gone?“ he said teasingly.

„No. Only I wish myself gone sometimes,” Matthew said in a whisper, and it was that rarest of things where Matthew was concerned, an entirely true statement with no mockery or teasing or humor to be had.

„Never wish that,“ James said.

If the TLH gang went ice skating

James and Lucie went so many times with Tessa and Will they’re pretty skilled at it. Impressing Jesse and Cordelia, who both have to learn from the ground up.

Matthew of course is elegant af on ice, but still falls all the time because of his antics, starting squabbles with everyone and racing around recklessly.

No one knows why, but Grace absolutely slays, basically looking like an ice princess. She tries to help Kit even though he struggles, constantly falling over his own feet. He pulls her down by accident at one point and apologises profusely, but she just starts laughing and throws a snowball at him.

Alastair is fucking terrified, but Thomas, who used go go ice skating with his sisters, convinces him to at least try. Alastair doesn’t let go of Thomas for almost the entire time they’re on the ice. Thomas valiantly fights off Matthew for him.

Anna is practiced and elegant, and patiently teaches Kamala, occasionally catching her in her arms whenever she falls.

Lucie and Jesse can’t stop being silly and end up rolling around the ice half the time.

Matthew initiates squabbles with James until they’re both soaking wet and panting, but is at his best gentlemanly behaviour with Cordelia.

Cordelia doesn’t have any practice but puts her mind to mastering it anyways, and she manages to almost outrace James by the end of the night. He wins, but turns around and catches her in his arms at the last second.

I’ll probably be inactive for a few days as I’m at the height of exam season plus work and prepping for holidays. I’ll be back though, hopefully with a ton of aesthetics.

"Alastair and Matthew are so different they could never be friends or even get along!"

Yes bc it's not as if both of them were neglected by their parents, dealt with bullying at school bc of rumors about their parents, distance themselves from people when their true selves start to come out, self loathing, feel responsible over their baby sister, have had to deal with their father's burdens, were raised more by a family friend than their parents, have dealt with abusive relationships with a man much oldler than them whe they were 15, are both queer men in the early 1900s, feel like they need to protect Cordelia, worry about their friends but never let anyone worry about them, or felt responsible for someone's death at the age of 14, or anything like that. No bc they're too different right? Right?
