teenagers scare the living shit out of me

you like my outdated MCR reference

 I've been wanting to draw Emilio as a teenager/kid for a long long time so to start off my brand new sketchbook I decided to finally do it !

Little content warning for implied sexual abuse (I think it's the best I can describe it ?), there's nothing graphic or explicit but oh well, better safe than sorry (by now y'all are probably aware that this is not a 'wholesome only' place)

Also, did I ever say that Emilio bleaches his hair (Renaissance stlye ofc). He was born this perfect nearly white haired angel, but he actually grew up to be more of a dirty blond.

 Apparently during the Renaissance in Firenze, it was not unusual for some people to give their sons to political figure for 'dates' and sexual favors in exchange for money/political favors/etc… Of course it wasn't something you'd talk about because it's pretty much corruption with another layer of yikes, but it wasn't a 'one dude did this once' thing. (tho as with any of my historical fun fact, remember I'm not an historian so take everything with a grain of salt, I'm just taking what I find interesting)(if I ever stumble upon the book that talked about this again, I'll let you know, this was pretty interesting)

So yeah ! Turns out when you make your son date guys for a while, he MIGHT not be too happy to marry a woman when he's of age. Emilio's father should have seen it coming.

And a little reference to Alexandre Cabanel's l'Ange Déchu because I just love the intense look in this painting, and it just fit so well with everything Emilio felt at this time.

and some sweeter thing to wrap everything's up. He ends up fine, all things considered.

PRIDE 2019

I actually did something pride themed this year so enjoy those doodles with not always so subtly hidden flag colors. Anyway be gay do crime and don't by from big corporation this month.

du sang et des homos

 I was craving some Knight AU content and it cames back gayer than ever. That one is obviously based on John Keats' 'La belle dame sans merci'

 Runaway Maffeo in the Knight AU, I just really wanted to draw those beautiful yet simple Medieval dresses.

 No homo just a king and his knight sitting in the garden smooching like bros do.

And then my hand slipped and I drew some fratricide, oops.

Pretty much like in canon, Maffeo's family is pretty crossed at him for running away from his duties, so in the Knight AU when he refuses to come back home, his father orders his brother Massimo to go kill him since he wants to play knight so bad. Drama ensue.

if my brother was here he would make you eat your teeth

It's Maffeo time ! Here is him pre-meeting Vieri, playing music at the Bordello after being taken in (maybe a year or so later)

That one moment where you get unwanted attention for the first time and the three stages of getting to terms with it (but never stop playing while you do)

and some more happy childhood time Maffeo, with best big bro Massimo !

 Based on 'the dizzy spell' by Emile Levy. Maffeo likes to run in the forest and you can so quickly twist your ankle when you're young and not looking down, luckily Massimo is there to get him back home safely (this must actually not be very long before Maffeo ran away, so Maffeo is 13 there).

Each time I draw scenes that showcase how close Massimo and Maffeo were I cry inside. Also based on 'the murder of the sons of Edward IV' by Theodor Hildebrandt.

baby boy baby

I'm pretty sure I haven't introduced this baby boy here yet so here he is ! The boy !

He's a troll changeling who was used as a decoy to curse a kingdom by taking the place of the prince, an infant at the time.

As often with changeling, the lad had no idea he was not the original prince. Drama ensues when he starts losing his baby teeth and pointy teeth grow in their places, and his royal parents start suspecting something is up. 

He's chased away from the kingdom and ended up stumbling on a witch (the cat pictured above, who is my friend's character)(and yes the cat form is her true form, she's a magic cat) who kinds of take him in.

He's just name 'the prince' or 'little prince' because of existential crisis and not knowing who he is beside that anymore. Yay !

 The whole curse thing happened allegedly because the King & Queen were disrespectful to the forest spirits/the forest, but dragging a troll child into it ? Bad move, forest witch.

 Another important thing about the prince is that his human 'glamour' gets weaker when he feels strong emotions, and he's slowly shedding it as he grows up -meaning that his troll like features get permanent-. So, that's some fun puberty he's going to go through.

Speaking of puberty, here's the little prince slightly older, maybe around 14-15. The 'no mom I won't cute my hair' phase is strong in him.

do mythological monsters count as furries

 I suddenly felt like doing more of the Mythos AU because greek mythology is fun and this AU makes no sense at all, which I love

 Also Emilio is much sassier with Marsilio in this AU, they kind of dance around each other a bit more aggressively than in the canon, and I love that too. It's a bit of a 'do you really want to kiss me or are you going to bite me' relationship if you will.

Now, asking the real questions:

 Marsilio sees anyone under 25 as a baby pretty much.

 Baby Luca in this AU is a simple human shepherd, because all mythology stories need a human to balance out the weird shit.

Which also mean I want to torture him even more than normally, hence why this happened:

 Luca is that kind of shepherd who goes back to save the one sheepy who got lost. Except that it's not always a good idea.

This actually turned into a 'how Luca met everyone in the Mythos AU' mini comic, but it's more like two out-of-context pages than anything.

 tfw you're just a simple boy and you suddenly see a tons of the monsters your grandma told you about.

Then Luca gets to stay there until his leg heals (which will take actual months so Vieri better get used to this human and his sheep stealing his bed) and makes friends with all the monsters (except Vieri, who of course hates him with a burning passion for no other reasons than misplaced jealousy and fear of being replaced, like in canon)

and that's how Luca got involved with all these monsters shenanigans.
