whenever I feel like I'm not drawing AJ correctly, I give him dimples and immediately rejoice
I was starting to get self conscious about being the only one with a huge ass device in the casino I’m at- but lo and behold, a person just came in with a laptop
brother in christ, we steal this casino’s free drinks and wifi as a team 🤝🏼

on our way to albuquerque, we were able to tour the beautiful sky city in the mesa! acoma natives have lived in the mesa for over 2000 years. I'm still so amazed by that.

Star death
This drawing is based on the butterfly nebula :)
If anyone cares for my symbolism:
A nebula is often formed by the gas and dust ejected by a dying star after it burns out all its fuel. Stars die once the energy from fusion isn’t enough to sustain its mass, causing a collapse that produces a supernova, throwing heavy elements into space. Throughout a star’s life, they’re constantly fighting their own collapse, fusing hydrogen into helium to resist the pressure of their own gravitational pull. They die when they can no longer do this.
In the au I’m obsessed with that only exists in my head (more here), both of them sacrificed their teenage experiences to get into the school they did, and kind of know nothing else; in that way they’re fighting their own collapse and burnout. They're each other's first run-ins with a relationship like this and that experience makes them feel unable to sustain a disconnected tunnel vision outlook on life, if that makes sense. Hence star death.
And nebulae are how new stars form :)
