Elliott, 1654

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIIIIIIISSSS ^^
For @creatingblackcharacters Black History Month challenge, I decided to draw Demetrius and Maru from Stardew Valley, and focus on Demetrius being a good dad ♡ Here he is encouraging a young Maru to build her love of science!
Demetrius gets a lot of hate from the online fandom, and I think that's stupid and unfair. He has flaws, sure, but so do all the other characters. Every single human being who has ever lived has good and bad traits, good and bad days. It's not fair for Black gamers to have such limited representation in the first place, and then for fans to focus only on the flaws of the Black characters who do exist when everybody else gets the benefit of the doubt makes it even more wrong.
With this piece I want to tell my Black audience that it's an honor to learn by your side as a scientist. It's an honor to learn by your side as a human! As an organism! As this strange collection of cells we all find ourselves as on this insignificant speck hurtling through the vacuum of space at incomprehensible speeds. I'm glad to be human with you, bumps and all.
@violentbirds @bowlingalleycarpet maybe you guys would like to participate in this challenge too?
this fanart came completely out of nowhere for a hetalia blog LMFAO

….good lord that elliott mod 😭😭😭 the ending really stuck with me for some darned reason. anyways, i really like how this turned out and i was wondering if y’all would ever be interested in a portrait mod in my art style, or, alternatively, a hetalia portrait mod…

Oh my God, Elliott I missed you
Hello my love,
How I've missed you as well. These past fews months have been nothing but loneliness without my favorite farmer beside me. I'm afraid that the dark circles under my puffy cheeks is very noticeable... but I know a night spent with you in my arms will be my only cure.
