wow! thanks so much! i’m always hyped people still, in this current day, enjoy the underworld series. because like you said, i’ve really grown as a writer since then! it’s sometimes kind of cringey for me to go back and read it (but you’re totes right, rose’s and john’s stories are the best ones)
anyway i spent like an hour trying to draw you a underworld!john doodle, realized i am completely unable to draw him as a noodley musician anymore since my brain is now hardwired to draw beefcake john, and settled on a quick doodle of some underworld!rosemary instead

(underworld series is right here, if you’re itchin’ to read oxfordroulette’s hot hot 2013-2015 writing. ft. actual cannibalism and Rose Lalonde and Her Untimely Death is right here if you’re just aching for some rosemary)

Oops.

i mean, in-fic they dated when they were teens and jake was a big weepy pushover so everything was probably a godawful mess. but here, anon, have a vv au scenario where, instead of initiating a whirlwind romance with john, dirk hopped right back into a freaky fetish escapade fest with jake english.

jake won because he brought a gun to a knife fight. don’t worry. jake
can resurrect people at will. it’s fine. it’s totally fine. it’s fine.
it’s- okay god, the dirkjake version of vv would just give everyone the
heebie jeebies. thank god i did not write that.
vanitas vanitatum is here! (it’s dirkjohn, if you’re not aware)
man it’s super easy to draw this way but idk if i like the Edgy™ look. anyway have john looking like some kind of count of monte cristo fuckhead.

mmmmmmmmmmm ya’ll know what i like

what a coincidence. so is dirk

well then jane would be in charge. welcome to 1700s-ish capitalism hell


look all of this plot contrivance was literally only due to the fact i was desperate to get dirk into a new outfit
yeah sure

(in reference to vanitas vanitatum, of course)
