Can't stop drawing them sleeping together
Nobody asked, but I've always wanted to make one of these silly lil ship charts. Blank template under the cut.
I think the reason why I love the "sleeping next to each other after a nightmare" trope so much, is because it implies that the comfort they provide transcends physicality. The idea that their bond is so deep, it's almost like their bodies just know they’re safe when they’re close and it goes beyond words or actions - it’s pure trust and understanding. Even if they’re asleep and not fully aware of it, the presence of the other brings subconscious peace.
I have noticed that a lot of fics make Sebastian the one who falls first, the ones who pines and dreams of something more, but there's something that's so compelling about Ominis, the sickly, traumatised, disabled victorian child imprinting on his first ever friend like a baby duck and never letting go.
Ominis finding out for the first time what playfighting is, playfighting that doesn't leave you scratched and bruised and hurt. He finds Sebastian, a boy brimming with energy and affection and it's Sebastian who introduces Ominis to the concept of playful touch, cheap sweets and games that spit at your expensive robes with smelly liquid - revelations that open up an entirely new world for Ominis.
At first, it’s just puppy love. Ominis thinks it’s normal to be this attached to your best friend, right? But as they grow older, those innocent feelings gradually shift into something much stronger—much stronger. And the thing is, Ominis is totally aware of it. He knows exactly how deep his feelings for Sebastian have become, and that awareness makes everything harder. He’s fully conscious of how he hangs on to every laugh, every touch, every quiet moment between them, and he knows it’s more than friendship. He just can’t stop himself. It’s terrifying and exhilarating all at once.
For Ominis, Sebastian isn't just a friend - he's a lifeline, a source of warmth and safety in a world that had previously offered little of either. Every laugh, every gentle touch, every shared moment becomes a treasure that Ominis holds dear.
But the fear of losing the one bright spot in his life keeps those feelings hidden, even as they threaten to overflow. Each time Sebastian draws near or chuckles at one of Ominis' dry jokes, you can almost feel Ominis holding his breath, wondering if he's reading too much into these simple interactions. And Sebastian? Sebastian just laughs, playfully taps him on the shoulder and goes back to boasting about his latest duel victories. Like he's unaware a dam is about to burst right next to him. Ominis keeps the dam strong. Hopes he can keep it strong forever.
Of course he fell first.
Needed him to grovel...
Can anyone who is interested, pls reply to this thread with outfits Sebastian and Ominis would prefer to wear in a modern AU? It's for science!
Thank you!

The Blind Wizard
Isn't bothered by the dark
Has a special bond with his Wand
Is full of secrets
Spawns into the world with his Wand. Can "see" in the dark as long as the Wand is equipped. Knows hidden shortcuts and secret passages that allow for faster travel between specific points on the map. Craftable secter cabinet that allows access to these shortcuts. The Wand acts as a compass, pointing towards important resources, quest items, or significant locations. The Wand gains additional powers as the wizard progresses, unlocking new abilities such as brief bursts of speed, temporary shields, or the ability to uncover hidden areas.
Sanity drain when attacked. Slower at crafting and cooking.
The Duelist
Makes unusual friendships
Never backs down from a fight Craftable Relic. When placed, automatically raises nearby slain enemies as undead minions that fight for him. Minions have moderate health and deal moderate damage. Multiple minions can be summoned, but each drains sanity over time.
Has lower overall Sanity. I am not a game designer, but I have been playing a lot of Don't Starve Together with friends. We thought Sebastian and Ominis would be neat as custom characters. Alas, I cannot code, so the art id the best I can do :D
First times can be awkward
Gift for @trappezoider
Thank you so much for being my inspiration and friend! I hope there's many more creative sparks ahead for both of us.
Pankration was an unarmed combat sport introduced into the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC. The athletes used boxing and wrestling techniques but also others, such as kicking, holds, joint-locks, and chokes on the ground. The young blind athlete did not portend much of a challenge, but proved to be very determined to beat Sebastian nonetheless. The sparring continued until both were exhausted, and as the sweat dripped down their faces, it became evident that the initial impression of ease was deceptive. For the prompt: Ancient Greece
