The Vast (3/15) “The Neverland”

The Vast (3/15) “Neverland”

The Neverland is a creature which never touches the ground, having stayed in the sky for its entire being, though this does not mean it doesn’t come close to the ground as that is how it gets its victims. The Neverland uses its strong legs and massive talons to snatch up victims when they walk alone. It does not eat them right away, instead tossing and dropping them through the air, devouring their fear before they devour the flesh. It was also known for dive-bombing small planes, ski lifts and gondolas, anything small that moves through the air. When no hunting, it flies among the clouds, the distance from the ground and general silhouette allowing it to disguise itself as a bird. It is likely you have seen the creature but were lucky enough to not walk alone.

OMG I FOUND YOU ON TUMBLR (its Arthur's Falls btw)

I’m assuming someone from the discord or subreddit lmaoo, sorry, I don’t remember the name!

Get out of my mind.

Detail

nothing can happen to children in this podcast. they said. they never said anything about children happening to anyone though

Of course! Your art is gorgeous. This is definitely the longest I’ve ever spent on a stylized portrait though lol. You’re definitely a trouper for coloring like this so much 🫶

Hello! I just wanted to say that I recently found your art and fell in love with it. I loved it so much that I ended up doing an art study on your coloring style. Figured I’d show you!

Yes, it is Bill Cipher lol

Thank you for all of the delicious art.

OH OMG thats so sick!!!!

truly honored you wanted to do a study on my colouring style omg ausydhkuashd he looks so good 😭

Melded into one…

Butcher and Darthur if they were partners

Ugh, I love all of this!

This one goes out to all the bitches who love some good Safehouse Era Horror. It's me, I'm bitches. I want Jon and Martin to be fucked up and eldritch but I want them to be fucked up and eldritch and loved

(Notes under the cut because I can't help myself. Heads up, I do go into some detail of how Jon gets injured so I can explain my thought process for how I designed his scars. All canon-typical and fairly clinical in tone.)

Here's how I picture Safehouse Jon!

He doesn't need glasses anymore by this point, so he should just be wearing empty frames, but I drew this before I settled on my glasses headcanons. This drawing looks better with the reflection anyways.

He hasn't gotten a haircut since before his promotion to Head Archivist. He doesn't love the weight of it on his neck, but he also uses it to fidget, and he really doesn't want to go through the whole process of cutting it. He's disliked haircuts since he was a kid (People: Bad. Small talk: Bad. Touching: Bad. Loud sounds: Bad. People talking all at once: Bad) and since his time with the Circus he's only grown more reluctant to go and get it done.

At this length his hair is naturally pretty curly but he is. Not taking care of it. I actually put a lot of effort into trying to make it look brittle and tangled (I have a lot of experience lol, my hair is quite thick and I've always hated taking care of it. Yes I am also projecting my feelings about going to a hairdressers onto him why do you ask.)

The various scars were a bit of a strange task, but anyone who has seen my takes on The Bad Kids knows I'm not averse to selective realism in my fiction. Easiest one was the neck, I always pictured Daisy making a vertical cut based on "through the voice box". The larynx is longer than it is wide, so I think Daisy would go for the method that dealt damage across the largest total surface area. Yes I am aware that I'm speaking the same way Martin does when he explains his corkscrew.

The worm scars were easy because I barely drew any. There are a few marks on his cheek, but they're just surface bites. I picture most of his encounter with Prentiss showing on his legs, particularly on the right side, with enough damage there that he starts using a cane after the incident to keep weight off his right leg. More research to be done on this particular detail.

Finally the burn on his hand from Jude. This was the weirdest one to figure out just because of the nature of the injury. How do you quantify the damage done to an epidermis by a living manifestation of sometimes-boiling wax that can heat and cool at will? I settled on it being a second-degree burn that healed supernaturally fast, containing the damage to the space Jude had direct contact with. He'd probably have some mobility issues there as well. I know there are ways to help with mobility and pain after a severe burn, but I don't know how much of it Jon would actually. Do. Like I said, definitely further research to be done on these last two.

Hey so I'm gonna ask you to stop and consider the horror of the watcher. The helplessness. The guilt. The inherent terror of being a spectator, a participant by proximity but not by action. The horror of not being able to look away, of being a bystander. Jon forgets to blink sometimes. But wouldn't it be so much worse if there were no eyelids at all? That's how I interpret the description of The Archivist being "All Eyes" :D

I love a good Many-Eyed Jon, so I whipped up my own interpretation here. I think the more he Becomes the more he starts to resemble the thing from the dreams. He has a lot more control of it in S5, but it still creeps up on him and he has to consciously go back to a human shape.

Ok ok…have more Kayne (not the Chaotic minds AU
