"What once felt unbearably hot is now a cold that reaches into the deepest depths of his soul and attempts to snuff out every last trace of life."
not my best series plot wise but it was fun to write

GO READ ACHILLES' SHIP RAAAAHHHH
He looked up at the sky, and risked a quick glance at Painter. The AIs eyes were wide, mouth agape. “It really does go on forever.” He breathed. Sebastian let out a wet chuckle, tears threatening at the corners of his eyes. “Wait until you see the stars.” He said, smiling through his bleary eyes. “You'll bring me out tonight?” “Promise.”

ridiculously pumped for season 3 y'all got no idea
“Rule number one for surviving prison: the tougher you look, the easier your ability to choose the person you want to be while you’re inside. Be labeled or perceived as a punk, a bitch, or a weakling, and you will have your public perception on the inside chosen for you. So you can lift weights, learn to fight, practice snarling in a mirror — you can do all these things, but none of them will accomplish as much for you as getting a [good] tattoo.” — Chris Dankovich in The Tales of a Former Prison Tattoo Artist
An alternative idea to my first, more pessimistic Season 3 Prediction, in which they find him looking a little more like this ^
For the tattoo designs I did a lot of research and I chose them carefully. The snake tattoo I chose because it is: A. Not affiliated with any particular real-world gang, B. Common among white prisoners (many prison tattoos are racially specific), and C. Notably, not a nazi thing (I did check). Snake tattoos can sometimes symbolize change or rebirth because of the way they shed their skin, but there doesn’t seem to be any one, universal meaning for them. For Blyke here, I thought it would serve as a message to other inmates: “Don’t touch me, I’m venomous.”
The rose with a dagger through it can mean many things in the free world, but in prison it means someone was locked up before they reached adulthood. I don’t know if people typically get this as kids or if they get them when they grow up (probably the latter), but I imagine that Blyke gets it because: “I was a kid when they locked me up. But now... I’m a man. Grr, hng, and other macho man noises.”

[Alhaitham Become Human AU]
Kaveh being at his wit's end trying to fix Alhaitham's stupidly one of a kind system, some details just don't fit, and the only other architect experienced enough like him is Faranak (she used to design for CyberLife), whom Kaveh didn't dare visit all these years but his bleeding heart wins over.....and so he packs up his tools and takes Alhaitham on a roadtrip across Sumeru in his rusty car. That's when Alhaitham discovers all the world has to offer and Kaveh shows him how to see the beauty in it.
I wasnt really going to continue it but I got inspired by watching jerma fumble his dbh playthrough so fucking bad it actually got me back into the game
also its really funny how in-character it is for alhaitham to stage a revolution like yeah.....he would actually do that
Jury Nullification: Your Power To Choose
so are we not gonna talk about the parallels here? the similarities in their positions both physical and situational are crazy, john thinking he's gonna die and william actually dying, father and son in the same position ;-;
the near future for season 3 was lookin a little bleak so I tried to depict it (so hyped) (they're not making it out of this unscathed)
art of one of my (currently) unreleased whumptober prompts, will attach it to the chapter when it comes out
